Chapter 83: Shelf Speech
```
Hello everyone, I'm Metal Raindrop.
A newcomer at Qidian.
Although I'm new to Qidian, Raindrop is indeed not a newcomer to writing novels, maybe considered so?
The last time I wrote a book was a year ago.
After such a long time away from writing, naturally I have made many mistakes and overlooked many things—I'm so grateful that everyone has been tolerant of Raindrop.
This book, "Opposition," is the first book I wrote upon arriving at Qidian. Coming to Qidian for the first time, there was a lot I didn't understand, but I was very fortunate to have received so much kind help along the way.
First of all, I want to thank my editor Canaan. I truly am especially grateful, for inspiring me to press on, providing me with so much support, and safeguarding my journey.
There are too many things to be thankful for, but I'll just mention one of them here.
One thing that left a deep impression on me happened at the start.
When opening my book, I was delayed by an entire week in signing the contract because my phone number couldn't be used for real-name verification. Throughout that week, I pestered with all sorts of foolish questions daily, but Canaan was always patient.
He didn't become impatient because I was a newcomer—always very friendly (at that time, Canaan didn't know about my previous book).
Finally, this book was able to rush to sign the contract before the New Year.
Canaan is a good editor who is patient and friendly with newcomers—that is my first impression of him.
It's safe to say, without Canaan's help, this book might never have met all of you.
I also want to thank my operations team, especially Bai.
Bai is a responsible operations officer. As a newcomer to Qidian, there was so much I didn't understand; it was Bai who taught me to release bonus chapters, told me the rules of the new book list, helped me manage my book, and patiently and meticulously analyzed the various data with me daily. When my data dropped, he encouraged me... In short, I'm very thankful.
Lastly, I want to thank all the big shots who've helped me, my good brother Xixi,

thank Puff, the top dog of the kindergarten, the whitest crow, Love So Deep, Gentle Stream's Murmur, Pray Not the Ten Strings, and the support from Quiet Adoration.
