Speaking of which, I even bought "Bartender's Guide" and "The Cocktail Code" specifically for writing the bar section...
Actually, this book can't be considered a complete post-apocalyptic novel. Fighting zombies is just a prelude. This book is more like a slice-of-life romance with some business battles and gangster elements. The real apocalypse only begins in the middle and later parts of the book.
Furthermore, at this time, the world order will change, and international status will also change.
I believe my script is quite ambitious and should be interesting, especially since the book hasn't fully unfolded yet.
Regarding the sword part, I chatted with a friend in the group, and he had a very high opinion of it, saying it should be emotionally moving. Of course, while it's called a sword, it also subtly implies the love between the protagonist and the dolls for each other; the deeper the love, the more intense the pain...
So, essentially it's still about giving out sweet moments...
Well, the road to sweetness will never stop, and there are still 100,000 words of daily life waiting for me and everyone.
Yes, that's it. Thank you.
Just some casual conversation (about the new character).
I played a new game today and encountered a character I liked again, the kind that I fell in love with at first sight, so I guess they'll be added to the game later.
There are two in total, so if we include Rosalia as mentioned before, that makes a total of four. However, I didn't start a poll this time. Please forgive the author's whims, because I really like these characters. As for who they are, we'll find out in the business war section.
Based on my current observations and discussions with other members of the group, I believe I haven't encountered any issues with the current characters having unclear character designs. Therefore, I'm confident that I won't have these problems with the new characters either, and they will all play important roles in the subsequent storyline.
Based on my previous writing level, I believe, and I hope you all believe, in my ability to write sweet and emotional parts. I will write these characters who don't belong to Girls' Frontline well, and they will definitely be sweet, high-quality, and plentiful (lol).
I also hope that you will not despise these characters. I will do my best to make you like them.
Statement + Random Chat
After several days of thought and discussion, I feel it's necessary to emphasize again that the author's level and knowledge are limited. Please do not treat this book as a god-level hardcore romance novel like "Poor Finger". I won't. I'll just focus on providing sweet moments. You can just treat this book as a romance novel like "Griffin's Son-in-Law". In addition, this book is indeed very good. The author is very good at providing sweet moments.
This isn't a PR pitch; it's just my personal recommendation. I really like this book.
As for the little bit of sweetness that follows, here's a hint: it involves a new character, a childhood sweetheart who appears out of nowhere, from a game that recently went into open beta. You can guess for yourselves.
This section might look like a Japanese light novel, but the sugar content is probably extremely high, so you can just enjoy the peaches without worry.
To reiterate, all settings are based on this book, and the countries and situations in the book are all fictional. Please do not compare them to reality. If you do, and the results are unsatisfactory, you can delete the book and leave.
If you want to criticize the setting, or think this book isn't realistic or hardcore enough, then you can think I'm low-IQ and lacking in skill, and then go find another book. I won't say anything, and we can part ways amicably. But if you insist on criticizing, then I'll have to mute you and ask you to leave now.
This book is essentially about the emotional bond between us and the androids. I know my combat writing is terrible, so just treat it as light reading. If you want a hardcore read, I suggest rereading "Poor Finger."
In conclusion, if you don't like it, just leave and eat at another restaurant. It's just that we cater to different audiences. There's no need to make each other disgusted. After all, I'm just a stinky writer, and it's normal for me to be a bit brainless, right?
I truly love the characters I've created—the protagonists, the avatars, and even the girls from other games. I hope you won't insult them. I will do my best to write a happy and fulfilling story that is enjoyable in the right place.
Finally, I will come back to continue updating after the mid-December academic exams. I will also take a few more days off for the final exams, and then I will open a bounty during the winter break. I will do my best to make everyone happy. Thank you all for your support over the past few months. Without you all, this book would not have come this far.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart...
Oh, and besides, is the current story sweet enough? I'm thinking about whether the slice-of-life scenes, including the sweet moments with this unexpected childhood sweetheart, will need some changes when we get to the 100,000-word storyline...
(Before resuming updates, if there's anything I want to say, or anything that needs to be said, I might continue to post it in this format. Readers can also ask questions, and I'll answer them in the next chat. For example, in the last post, a reader asked if I would write about the girls from Azur Lane... Sorry, no. First, I haven't played it, and second, it would be difficult to write about the power levels.)
Casual chat, and um, voting.
Well, I haven't just been preparing for exams lately; I've also been brainstorming other things...
Everyone thought I was just preparing for an exam, but actually I've already been working on the sequel. Didn't expect that, did you?
This book isn't even finished, and I'm already starting to conceive of a sequel. That's so typical of me.
I've already conceived the outline and story direction for this book, so there won't be any writer's block. The only possibility is that some other factors might cause me to pause for a while. Normally, I won't be unable to write due to a lack of inspiration, so I will definitely finish it.
In addition, I originally wanted to surprise everyone with this sequel, but I felt too stifled to keep it a secret, and I figured that if I did, everyone would be even more excited.
Of course, I've conceived a small part of a sequel, but there are some things I'd like to ask you all.
This vote may not necessarily determine the final result; it's just a reference. The final outcome depends on how I conceive the story's direction.
OK, let's begin.
Q: Would you prefer to see a PhD student as the main character or a quiet, socially awkward female PhD student? 1 main character, 2 female PhD students

Question 2: The current harem heroines for the next book are [Xu Hui (Awakened)] (from the Otherworld Agency), Frost Star, Titi, Shark, Old Woman, and Nianxi; Please suggest any other heroines you'd like to see featured. Of course, Platinum and Blue Poison will definitely be included (lol).

However, the next book won't be as heavy as the current one. It will be sweeter, more like a lighthearted read, with a bit of a wish-fulfillment feel. I wonder how many people still remember the book "The HR Specialist Doesn't Do HR," which was roughly the same style, mainly focused on sweetness.
Actually, it's because I can't bear to see Frostnova die again...
Updates will resume the day after tomorrow.
I was supposed to resume updates tomorrow, but today's gacha pulls were a disaster, and I'm completely devastated. I can only pray that the next banner won't be the one I want. I need to go cry for a bit.

Unfortunately, I can't upload the picture; it's over 500k. I'll have to include her in the description later, and if I do, I'll make sure she can't get out of bed.
176 False alarm
The three people in front of the gate suddenly changed positions, quickly dodging to both sides of the iron gate. Their weapons had appeared on their backs and in their hands, ready for battle.
But Luo Fan and the girls on defense found it strange that the door, which had been properly secured, had suddenly become hidden.
He gestured to M16 in sign language: "What happened?"
45, standing by the door, patted 416 on the shoulder and pointed to Luo Fan behind the sofa.
She glanced over and immediately understood Luo Fan's meaning. In response, she simply turned slightly, mimicking the grip of a shotgun, and pulled the trigger...
easy to understand.
"Tch, damn it..."
His wide-eyed stare and tone betrayed his astonishment.
No wonder they reacted so strongly; the other side was preparing to force their way in...
With the gun angled parallel to the entrance, I dared not slacken my pace in the slightest, for fear of making the "guests" from afar feel that the service was "inadequate".
Dozens of gun barrels were pointed at the flimsy iron door; if it were opened, the people outside would be riddled with bullets in an instant.
"despair......"
The executioner seemed to hear the sound of the safety mechanism being released.
Adjusting his breathing and staying calm—that was Luo Fan's mental state at that moment.
If they could, they wouldn't want to give up this cozy little home.
Those outside were completely unprepared, while those inside were on high alert.
Luo Fan's mind wandered for a moment, and he inexplicably thought of the Rainbow Six Siege promotional image...
It's just that there are more people inside, and their martial spirit is more abundant.
......
"Back up, the door's about to open..."
......
"call......"
The girls put their fingers on the trigger.
A close call...
coming soon!
"and many more."
A male voice came from outside the door again.
The girls glanced at each other a few times, but they still didn't relax.
What's the situation outside? Has the plan changed?
"Let's find another place. Firing the gun might attract those monsters too. We can't stay here for long."
"Tsk, why didn't you say so earlier? I'd already turned off the insurance..."
"...?"
It sounded like snow was flowing.
The muscles in the girls' arms relaxed slightly without them even realizing it.
"Let's go, change places."
......
A few seconds later, the sound of boots stepping on the snow came from outside the door, the sound mingling and disjointed, gradually fading into the distance.
It seems that he has truly left...
The sound of footsteps on the snow was very clear, and there was no way they could have misheard it, so the girls didn't think it was a scam.
The executioner and the alchemist peeked towards the door, trying to hear more clearly what was happening outside, but nothing changed; the wind was simply too strong.
The M16's muzzle swung twice towards the door: "Gone?"
But the executioner could only respond with a shrug and a shake of the head.
"They should have left by now."
"I can't come."
They currently only have audio information and know nothing about the outside world, so they dare not let their guard down completely.
UMP9 even pressed itself against the door, trying to peek through the crack, but all it could see was thick snow.
The formation inside the room loosened considerably, and the girls in the corners came out one by one.
Even though Xiao Jiu's posture on the ground was ridiculous, no one laughed out loud. Maybe she really did see it?
But now it seems unlikely...
Just as Luo Fan was pondering his next move, he heard a series of noises.
"Clang, bang, clang, snap."
"???"
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a blonde girl dragging an oil drum.
M870 has already carried the two new oil drums back, and the drums are scraping against the ground, making noise, seemingly not taking the "guests" who may not have left yet seriously at all.
AR15 and SAT8 immediately stepped forward and snatched the bucket away.
"What are you doing?"
"Are you crazy?! We're not even sure if the enemy has left!"
AR15 scolded, holding the bucket in his arms, but then seemed to feel it was inappropriate and put it back on the ground.
For some time now, AR15 has been dissatisfied with M870's unprofessional handling of operations, and now that the other party's behavior is putting everyone at risk of exposure, she is naturally furious.
But M870 was clearly indifferent to this: "If they wanted to come in, this door would have collapsed long ago. Not to mention we could take care of them in seconds, they would definitely be exposed. So why not believe they've really left?"
In short, if they're discovered, they can be dealt with easily, so why not just do it casually?
"You are sophistry!"
AR15's face was extremely grim; she simply couldn't believe that the other party, as a tactical doll, could be so casual and careless.
Everyone had to admire M870's thought process, but to be honest, Luo Fan somewhat agreed with it.
At least in terms of warming themselves by the fire... after all, the environment in this weather would quickly become cold and damp without a heat source, and it would be difficult for Lovan and Pascal's flesh and blood to maintain this state for too long.
Pascal, in particular, was in poor condition. Although Lovan had draped a coat over her shoulders, without the warmth of the fire, her rather frail body had begun to show adverse reactions.
How should we approach this?
......
At this point, it's clear that the M870 and AR15 are unlikely to agree on anything, and the situation is at a stalemate. The M870 might not care, but what about the AR15?
Her concerns were not unfounded, but if Pascal were to get into trouble, it would be more troublesome than being suspected.
A few seconds later...
