internal frustration about Indian education system fixed into a romantic story

Hugo comes back like she said at 3 and half pm with her computer bag and a plastic sachet. And she finds McCallister still watching the film. She gets very happy and asks him, without even saying "hello":
-Do you like Indian movies?!
-God!! (frightened) Elizabeth, you scared me! Ouf… My heart…
-Sorry… (she puts the plastic sachet and her computer bag on the kitchen table) Do you like Indian movies?
-Actually… it's my first time I watch an Indian movie and… Did the hero just kill a man with a banana?!!
-Ah! Why everybody must insult the Indian Action?! I know it's… out of logics and physics and… Anyway, I prefer romantic movies, more than action ones.
-And so, must the "lover" sing in different countries with his love? You see him in India, then suddenly in China, and then in Egypt!
-Ah… it's an old movie… Can't you see young Amitabh Bachchan there?!
-I'm not a Bollywood fan.
-Ah, forget that. Did you eat something while I wasn't here?
-Yeah, some sandwiches.
-Hungry?
-A bit.
She gets the plastic packet and takes what's inside and shows it to Jack; two boxes of Chinese food.
-Love Chinese food?
-Yeah...
And they sit together, eating and watching another film…
After they finish, Beth tells Jack, while she's washing some dishes in the kitchen:
-I'll sleep in my bedroom, there. And about you, sleep on the sofa.
-It's kind of comfortable…
-…
-By the way, I won't be idly by watching a little girl spending money on me: tomorrow, I'll start looking for a job… again…
-Ok, but don't sing in streets again; they're dangerous. You know how much a guitar costs?
-Yeah… it's expensive.
-Good. Your blanket is on that chair. If you need me for something, just knock my bedroom's door.
She gets in her room, and wishes for McCallister a good night before closing her door…
***
On the next day, about 10 am, Hugo and McCallister are having breakfast in one of restaurants, sitting outside. Jack's reading a newspaper while Elizabeth writes something in a notebook. He asks her:
-What's that?
-A notebook.
-For what?
-I write my ideas for my novels here.
-O… what's your novels' category?
-Mostly romance.
-Like Indian movies?
-Almost.
-I don't want to break your dreams but… Indian romance is despicable, and so your novels will be.
-First, Indian romance is not despicable. Second, my novels won't be despicable: I'm finding a little problem in publishing it, but they won't be.
-Well, good luck in your novels.
-Thanks.
-A… Elizabeth… I want to tell you… Thanks, and I'm sorry to be rude with you: I mean, imagine that a stranger comes to you, insisting on helping you.
-It's ok, Jack. Everybody needs help.
McCallister smiles to Liz and comes back then to the newspaper while Hugo shuts for a while then she starts singing "tee ta ta ta tee" loudly and she gets up and stands in front of Jack, singing about help and kindness. Then she comes to some customers and takes their hands and so they stand up and each one sings about his experience in helping someone or getting helped and it had a good and big effect, like meeting the true love, or achieving the goals, a solving some troubles etc. At final, they all dance in front of McCallister who's not interested completely in them and is reading the newspaper instead. The clients still dance on tables and sing the same song with Elizabeth. Each customer shows his talent; like playing violin, or flipping etc.
Finally, they finish their dance and everybody gets back to its table. While our Eliza looks to Jack who claps and then he stands up with his newspaper and says:
-Can we come back home? Also, you're late: your university.
-Oh… Right… The lesson will begin after an hour. Let's go.
Hugo puts some money on the table. And they walk together toward the little house…
***

He's guitarist and specifically a "classic, folk, country" composer. But when Liz realized that Jack is a failed musician, she tries every time she re-meets him accidentally to help him.However, he refuses, until he finally accepts after becoming homeless. Once he gets in her life, Liz survives incredible and imaginary moments with Jack, thanks to his music, through his famous secret "Close your eyes..."

One day.
Five days.
Ten days.
Gone with the Wind sold like hotcakes around the world.
The bookstore industry in every country was ripped apart by this novel.
5 million copies!
6 million copies!
7 million copies!
When the sales figures hit 7.23 million copies, Gone with the Wind officially broke the global sales record that an American novel had held for nine years. It leaped ahead and became the hottest-selling full-length novel in the world. Gone with the Wind had only taken half a month to do this. If it was just based on the speed of sales, Gone with the Wind would even have broken all of the sales records that were set by the officially recognized world-famous works!
15 days!
Over 7 million copies!
This was something that had practically not happened before in this world!
But as it came to this point, a sales bottleneck also appeared.
…
India.
"Bangalore's new novel is on sale!"
"This is great!"
"It's a global release!"
"It's available in seven languages?"
"What's the novel called?"
"Embers of Humanity!"
…
Japan.
"Teacher Itou has published a new novel!"
"It should have been published long ago!"
"Yeah, it's because the translation has been delayed for so long."
"It still isn't too late!"
"That's right, there's still half a month to go before the Nobel Prize is given out. There's still enough time!"
…
America.
A nominee of the Nobel Prize in Literature.
"Is there still time?"
"Yes. We cannot allow Gone with the Wind to keep selling like this."
"Yeah, that Chinese writer is too rampant!"
"This is our home field. There are even Indian and Japanese writers too. They're dipping their hands too far into our territory."
…
On this day.
Three strong contenders for the Nobel Prize from the literary world published their books one after another. Some of them had already planned to release their works before the Nobel Prize ceremony, but there were also others who didn't have this plan. Then, after seeing the momentum generated by the release of Gone with the Wind, they couldn't sit still anymore and decided to bring forward the sales of their books. Even though some of the translations were not done to perfection, they still brought forward the release of their novel by several months!
All of the books were released globally!
All of them were in multiple languages!
The world was in an uproar!
This was an unprecedented battle of the century!
Everyone had a feeling that this year's Nobel Prize contention would be one of bloodshed and probably the most intense one in nearly a decade!
On the World Wide Web.
"It's starting!"
"The competition is too intense!"
"Who will win?"
"It's too difficult to say!"
The sales figures were very quickly published on the day of.
The American writer sold 200,000 copies!
The Japanese writer sold the least with 150,000 copies!
The Indian writer, Bangalore, sold the most with 300,000 copies!
Although the three books might not match up with the global sales figures of Gone with the Wind, their authors were all famous writers with a long history and a reputation, to boot. They all had previous novels that astonished the world, so even if the sales figures of their latest novels could not compare to Gone with the Wind, their chances of getting the Nobel Prize was still much greater than Zhang Ye's. Zhang Ye's novel had amazed the world, but it was only enough to place him in the sights of the committee for the Nobel Prize in Literature.
…
China.
On Weibo.
"Something bad is going to happen!"
"Gone with the Wind's sales have slowed down!"
"The problem is that there's too much competition!"
"Gone with the Wind's sales figure is still tops! And it's an undisputed first place!"
"But those other writers' sales figures aren't bad either. There isn't a clear gap yet!"
"Yeah, Zhang Ye is in danger. It's still not enough to have just one book under him."
"But Gone with the Wind should have won without question. This is something that no Chinese author has succeeded in doing before! Shouldn't seizing the sales throne of the global literary world be awesome enough?"
"But Zhang Ye's goal is the international celebrity rankings, right?"
"Has he managed to do it yet?"
"Not yet. We don't even know how much more popularity score he needs to get onto the international celebrity rankings."
"Unless he gets the Nobel Prize, it will be very difficult for him to break in."
…
Elsewhere.
At Zhang Ye's Studio.
Little Wang said, "Bangalore can't match up to our sales at all!"
Ha Qiqi said with a serious look, "But they're better qualified than us."
Zhang Zuo sighed. "Yeah, that's the deadliest point for us. If Director Zhang had been writing more books like Gone with the Wind in recent years, this matter would have been settled once and for all. We would have at least a 50 to 60% chance of getting the Nobel Prize. But the problem is that Director Zhang has only got this one novel that can take on the world with."
Tong Fu said anxiously, "Director Zhang, why don't you write another one then?"
"It won't be in time." Zhang Ye shook his head.
He still had books that he could use, and there were even a lot of them.
10 novels?
20 novels?
A 100 novels?
He could bring them out if he wanted to!
But it wouldn't be now. There wasn't enough time!
Little Wang also said anxiously, "The sales aren't growing as much as before!"
Wu Yi said, "We can only leave it to fate."
In the past, when they were very far from having any chance of getting the Nobel Prize, there weren't any expectations at all. In fact, when Zhang Ye brought up the matter of trying for the award, the studio staff did not even really think about it since they did not believe it could happen. But now, after Zhang Ye's novel had amazed the global literary scene, their chances of getting a Nobel Prize had become better than before. With news on the grapevine saying that Director Zhang had been identified as a key nominee by the committee for the Nobel Prize in Literature, everyone was starting to worry about whether they could really get it.
However, Zhang Ye didn't like leaving things to fate. Moreover, he believed in Gone with the Wind. He felt that this book would have a great effect on this world and that its potential was still far from met. The slowdown in sales was due to competition from several of the Nobel Prize nominees. Since there was only enough time to bring out this book, Zhang Ye would have to ensure that its potential was met. The highest sales figures in the same period? The number one bestseller in a decade? This was still far from enough!
You guys have written many books before?
You guys are better qualified as a result?
Then I can only fight it out with you on sales and influence!
7 million copies weren't enough?
Then will 10 million copies be enough?
Will 15 million copies be enough?
Zhang Ye said, "I'm going back up to my office."
Little Wang said, "Ah?"
"Don't bother me." Zhang Ye waved and headed upstairs.
…
Upstairs.
In his office.
Zhang Ye lit a cigarette to smoke and relax. Then he focused his gaze and brought up the virtual game ring's interface. He was going to play the lottery to see if the game ring could give him a useful item. The Nobel Prize was way too important for his career, so he definitely had to fight for it!
Abracadabra!
Hocus pocus!
Give me something good and useful!
He activated the Lucky Halo (Ultra)!
Zhang Ye then started Lottery Draw (Three)!
The lottery draw began!
The virtual platform appeared!
One second…
Five seconds…
With a flash, a large golden treasure chest appeared!
Zhang Ye hurriedly went up to have a look. Instantly, he laughed heartily at what he saw. This was entirely not what he had imagined getting, yet it was perfectly what he wanted!
[Lucky Medal (Upgraded)] × 1
Description: Substantially increases the luck of the player.
Effective duration: 57 hours.
Zhang Ye understood this to be similar to his previous version of the Lucky Halo (Upgraded), except that it had appeared as a Consumption Category item. Although it couldn't be compared to the Lucky Halo (Ultra), it could still pull off a heavyweight move!
57 hours!
This was more than two days' worth of luck!


Zhang Ye was originally a mundane college graduate with aspiring dreams to become a star, but unfortunately has below average looks and height. However one day, he woke up and suddenly found himself in a parallel world! 
It’s like the same world, but wait a minute…many brands, celebrities and even famous works from his world changed and are gone in this new world! Armed with the profound literary knowledge of his previous world and a heaven-defying Game Ring that gives him magical items, stats and skills, Zhang Ye embarks on a journey to pursue his life-long dream of becoming famous!
Follow Zhang Ye as he takes the new world by storm, one plagiarized piece at a time, to hilarious reactions!

"All right! That settles it then. We're doing this!"

"Woo-hoo!" Mideum exclaimed cheerfully at Dae Soo's decision, raising her glass. 

Then, Seo Joong chimed in, "Now, let's set the tone, shall we? Will there be given topics for us to write about, or is it gonna be free-topic?" 

"Yeah! The whole reason behind starting this was to replicate what it was like to be part of a Literature Club, wasn't it?" I think it would be fun if we all write about one shared topic. What do you think, Dae Soo?"

At that, Dae Soo contemplated for a little while, but it wasn't long before she had made up her mind.

"OK. We can only write about one topic at any given time. Let's keep it special. Instead, why don't we each decide on what genre we want to write in? Essays, novels, poems, reviews, translation, anything."

"Sounds great!"

"OK, then. Now, the question is: 'What are we all gonna write about?' Any suggestions? Anything you've been wanting to write about?"

A shared topic. Everyone in the room was immersed in their thoughts, trying to figure out what would be the most appropriate topic for the club. At that moment, Geun Woo, who had eventually joined in on the fun, raised his hand. 

"What about a certain object? Like a violin, for example. We practice writing about objects with Mrs. Baek from time to time."

"That doesn't sound half bad," Dae Soo nodded with a lukewarm expression. Although it wasn't a bad idea, it wasn't very captivating. Then, Joon Soo chimed in, "What about a certain time period?"

"That's not bad, either," she said with a similar expression on her face, and without saying anything, San Jung sipped her wine quietly. 

Then, Sang Choi said, "I guess we have nothing else to write about except love." 

"That gives you way too much advantage! C'mon, now, you hopeless romantic. Get with the program." 

"Yeah! If that were the case, I'd suggest we all write about an unsolved, mysterious case." 

Sang furrowed his forehead at Mideum's adamant opposition. 

"But love is universal and an essential component of art."

"You do have a point there, but as long as you're part of the club, it wouldn't be fair to everyone else to have to write about that topic."

"Yeah! You took the the words right out of my mouth, Dong Gil."

Although Sang still looked displeased, he retracted his suggestion. From then on, a number of other opinions came up, but none of them were convincing enough to move the authors. As everyone listened to each other's opinions while immersed in thought, Dae Soo opened her mouth and said, "Death."

Then, the authors responded keenly to the provocative word. 

"Death."

"Death, huh."

"Also another essential component in art," Sang said, murmuring, "along with love." 

"It won't give anybody an advantage."

"And you can think of all sorts of stories related to it."

"Captivating."

"I think that's the most charming one, so far." 

Everyone nodded. 

"Sounds good," San Jung said her first affirmative answer. Death was, inarguably, one of the most common themes in art, and countless authors had written about it. On top of that, none of the authors in the room were experts on the subject of death, making it the fairest suggestion so far. However...

"Death, huh."

… with the exception of Juho, it was highly unlikely that any of the authors had experienced death themselves. And it wasn't something that he can share openly about, either. 

"I'm on board," he said.

And Dae Soo said, wearing an excited look on her face as if quite satisfied with how things were turning out, "I sense something really special is about to happen." 

"This almost makes me wish that the club was bigger. We're not gonna publish them, are we?"

"Let's play it safe, for now. Once we try to make a profit out of it, that's when we lose our creative control." 

With that, Dae Soo and Dong Gil began to discuss matters that were more realistic, and Juho took a sip of his Coke. Some authors were already starting to think about how to go about writing their segment in the magazine, and just as Juho was about to join them, he locked eyes with San Jung.

"Novel?" 

Juho shrugged. 

"Not sure yet."

"San Jung, remember that he even has translation at his disposal," Seo Joong interjected, holding a beer mug in his hand. 

"He can probably write things like reviews or essays just as well," Dong Gil added, and Juho didn't try to deny it. After all, they were both accurate. Authors tended to be sharp and perceptive. Juho had a number of creative tools at his disposal, from translation to essays and reviews, and he was more than capable of utilizing those tools to his advantage because of his experience at the Literature Club up to that point. 

"And I'm guessing that you're sticking with novels, San Jung?"

"Yep. I like novels the best."

She was someone who went as far as relocating to the mountains for the sake of writing her novel, so her affection and obsession toward novels was only natural.

"I think I'm drawn to novels as well."

From the moment 'death' had been decided as the shared topic, Juho had felt strongly inclined to write a novel. Writing for a magazine with such established authors was a once in a lifetime opportunity, and just like San Jung, Juho was also drawn to writing novels. 

Then, Seo Joong murmured, "Maybe I should go with a novel, too."

"I've been think about the same thing for a while now."

"Me, too."

Juho smiled and chuckled at the competitive remarks from the authors, and of course, he, himself, didn't intend on backing out, either. Then, Joon Soo asked after having been thinking for some time, "Are we limited to writing one piece each?"

"No, not at all."

"Then, I'll write a novel AND a poem." 

"I'm perfectly happy with writing just one novel."

Joon Soo and Geun Woo seemed like they had made up their minds for the most part, and Mideum, too, raised her hand to say, "I'm going with a novel!" 

"I think I'm leaning toward a novel, too."

With that, Juho counted how many authors had chosen novels as their genre. There would be nine novels and a poem, which unintentionally shifted the focus of the magazine to original novels. 

"So, are we all writing novels then?"

"That's not a bad thing though, don't you think?" Dae Soo said, and Juho nodded affirmingly. There was nothing bad about it. Besides, all of the pieces would be on the subject of death, so every single piece would be worth collecting. 

"You seem confident," Joon Soo asked quietly, and just like before, Juho didn't deny it. 

"Yes. You see, I happen to be acquainted with death, myself." 

"What?"

"Aren't you the youngest one here?"

"Choi, there is no particular order in which people go."

"What are you saying? You sounded a little edgy there."

"You're gravely mistaken."

Ignoring the light-hearted bickering between Dong Gil and Sang, Dae Soo looked at Juho. 

"Now that I think about it, you were pretty explicit about the mother's death in 'Sound of Wailing,' right? It was brief, but it had weight."

"Thank you."

"Wait, does that mean this topic gives Yun Woo the upper hand?" Dae Soo asked, narrowing her eyes, and Mideum waved her hand in denial. 

"Nah, that can't be right. You and I have both written a slew of death scenes up to this point, and so has everyone else here."

"I know that. It's just that I don't see Yun Woo as the type to be confident for no apparent reason." 

That was her perception of Yun Woo. As Dae Soo expressed her light-hearted concern, Juho waved his hand in denial, saying, "I'm just showing off, so, please, you don't have to have your guard up."

"OK, then. But keep in mind that I got my eyes on you," she said emphatically. To which, Dong Gil added with a chuckle, "Nobody's stupid enough around here to let their guard down when they're competing against Yun Woo. Except, maybe Choi." 

"I never let my guard down. I'm just confident."

"See?" 

Then, taking a swig off her beer, Mideum said, "Speaking of which, Yun Woo should be on his toes, too. We have San Jung, and then there's me… anyway, there are so many authors here!" 

"That's true. Mr. Bong here is a magician when it comes to figures of speech," Seo Joong took the opportunity to chime in, and Joon Soo returned the compliment, "I'm nowhere near your level, Seo Joong."

"Unlike Joon Soo, my buddy here specializes in writing rigid sentences." 

"You mean clean-cut and calculated?"

"Geun Woo writes stories that are just as depressing as he looks."

"Please don't say that out loud," Geun Woo complained, but it was swiftly ignored. 

"And then there's Choi. Yes, he's not all that pleasant of a person, but his writing is anything but. Gentle, and lovely. And don't even get me started with Dae Soo and her frightening stories. Mideum might not be the best with reasoning, but you are good at keeping your readers on their toes. San Jung. Well, what more can I say? She's the backbone of this country's literature." 

"Yep."

Unlike all the other authors who had looked perplexed by what had sounded like either a compliment or an insult, San Jung acknowledged her place with confidence. When it came to writing, she was a person who was neither yielding, nor modest. Then, lastly, Seo Joong moved on to Yun Woo.

"Last, but not least, our young, genius novelist, himself, who's more than adequate, to say the least." 

Juho felt that the word 'adequate' was far from describing him accurately, thinking that he still had a ways to go as an author. With that, he raised both of his hands and said, "Go easy on me now."

Then, Mideum slammed her beer mug on the table, shouting, "You know, my heart starts beating like crazy when I think about how these authors will portray death." 

"I've been meaning to ask, but is she drunk?"

"No way. A few beers isn't enough to get her drunk." 

"I'm telling you, I can never tell."

Sang and Seo Joon said in turn, and finishing her last bit of beer, Mideum ordered herself another glass. She was quite the drinker and seemed like she was capable of drinking three times as much as everyone else in the room. 

As Juho stared at her intently, Mideum asked as if misinterpreting his gaze, "Would you like some?"

"No, thank you."

"C'mon, now. Teenagers tend to want to try everything at least once out of curiosity, you know?"

At that, he realized that there was no way to talk himself out of the situation.

"So, would you like some?" Mideum said, shaking the new cup that had just arrived at the table with the beer. 

At that moment, Dae Soo gave her a slap on the back, "What do you think you're doing!?"

At the same time, Juho saw Sang lowering his hand, as if he had been just about to offer Juho some alcohol. 

"Yun Woo. You make sure to learn your drinking etiquette from no one other than your parents."

"Of course. I didn't even feel like drinking, anyway."

"Atta boy!" 

With that, Juho took a drink off his Coke as if to prove himself to Dae Soo, and Dong Gil and Joon Soo smiled with satisfaction. The club seemed to be made up of a healthy balance of adults who were both good and bad influences. 

"How should we go about writing our epilogues? Should we write something about the first issue?" 

"We can also publish one piece at a time."

"Hm. What should we do?"

Although the plans of publishing their own magazine were still in their early stages, the faces of the authors discussing them couldn't be happier. Planning for an anticipated future always brought about joy. 

"Oh! We're gonna need a name. What should we name our magazine? Death? Like our topic?"

"That would be the simplest and the most straightforward."

"But isn't that kind of… ominous for the name of our first issue?" 

"Yeah. Something tells me that our first issue will be our last." 

"There have been plenty of famous literary magazines like that, though."

"Well, we're just starting off. We shouldn't be thinking about the end already." 

As Juho listened quietly, he brought up a thought that rushed past his mind, "'The Beginning and the End.'"

"What?"

"'The Beginning and the End.' How's that for a title? After all, there's nothing in this world that says death marks the end of our lives." 

"Not bad…! Not bad at all!" Mideum agreed enthusiastically, and Sang Jung nodded quietly as well, looking like she had lost interest in the matter. 

After contemplating for some time, Dae Soo said, "OK. We'll decide on 'The Beginning and the End' as our working title for now. Once we come up with a better title, we'll change it then."

At that moment, the door opened, and everyone looked toward it. It was Madame Song, who had come by to greet her regulars while things were slowing down in the restaurant. And everyone greeted her welcomingly. 

"Madame Song! The food is amazing as usual!" 

Needless to say, the person who was the most excited to see her was Mideum, and Madame Song expressed her gratitude by smiling like a bear cub.

"You guys are running low on drinks, right? I'll go bring some more."

"You're seriously the best, Madame Song."

She greeted the authors one by one, and when she saw San Jung, a cheerful expression appeared on her face. 

"Oh, my! It's been ages! How's life in the mountains?"

"Good. I love your cooking still."

"While you're all here, eat up. You guys are writers, so you need all the energy you can get."

"Thank you!" 

Then, as San Jung dropped her head slightly, Madame Song turned her attention to Juho. 

"Juho! It's been a while since I've seen you too! I love that you're getting along with all these authors. How are they treating you? If any one of these people pick on you, you let me know."

"C'mon, Madame Song. You don't really think we'll do something like that, do you?" Mideum asked proudly, as if completely forgetting she had been about to offer Juho a drink.

Yum Woo is the youngest author in history to enter the literature world. His debut work was a massive hit but this success was short lived for the unprepared.

A miraculous second chance comes his way one day.

This is the beginning of that journey.

(Questions at Chp 128)
We will go as per the sequence the things happened.

Renu_Manjari asked:How many years have you two known each other ?! 
Well, we met each other in class 9th, apparently 3 years ago. We were deskmates due to the arrangement by the teacher. We got close due to our similar interests in Kdramas. Before that, I thought that I was the only one who knew Kdramas in my school. Lol! So you can say, that Kdramas played an important role in our friendship. After that she recommended me novels to read, that's how I got to know about Webnovel. We read many novels together. 
Shiny_Star5683 asked: I wanted to ask how did you come up with this idea and plot... 
Well, it started when we were giving our 10th board exams. We have been reading novels for 3 years, so one day I got to know that many Indian authors that write novels too. I told it to Rainbow on the day of our chemistry board exam. LOL!! She said, sure! We decided to discuss to plot after the end of our exams, but due to the pandemic, our exams were paused, and we got the chance to discuss it. For idea, I had decided my characters even before our plot. I wanted to show a strong woman, who despite the tragedies in her life, continues to live and finds her happiness, that's how I came up with Wang Yu Yan. As for Li Wei....we wanted to make the ML different from all novels. And that's how we came up with the idea Playboy, Li Wei. But as everyone has a reason to change, we also gave him a reason to be a playboy. As for Wen Mei, she was a copy of Rainbow, playful and cheerful. Cao Guang's personality, was shy, which was like me, shy, and then when I open up to people, I am no less than a headache. The plot does not have special inspiration behind it. We were just talking and it came into mind out of nowhere. The major contribution is the plot was of rainbow. Later I modified it. We also wanted to add focus to the family love. Not only relationship b/w our Mcs but the families too. All in one our goal is: Unique plot 
Shiny_Star5683 asked: wanted to know if both of you authors write the chapters of the book...
Well, because I have left the work for the plot to Rainbow, She gives me the outline of the chapter and I describe it. She is not good at the dialogues, so I do the dialogues. The medical part and mystery are on me. She writes most of the romance parts and sometimes the dialogues as well. (I won't disclose our business secret....shhhh) 
Renu_Manjari asked: This is a novel written by two best friends so if you had different views of a plot how would you solve them?! Have you guys fought because of it?
Yes, we do have different views regarding things sometimes, but we compromise. Before starting the novel, we knew that we would have to compromise. So yea. We fight sometimes, but when our ideas clash, the product is brilliant. When our ideas mix, it becomes even more amazing. But most of the time, our thoughts are the same. Totally same. It can be because we have read many novels together. 
ihtaws asked:I just want to know how many chapters will it take the main lead to give us dog food... 
Now...this question what I was waiting for but I don't know how to answer it. The book has slow romance, it will take time for Wang Yu Yan to fall in love with Li Wei. According to me, love is not possible so fast. Because we focus on family and friends too, it can take time for them to give you all dog food. But stay put...I will do my best to serve all the readers dog food, as soon as possible!!
P.S. I wanted more questions. It is fun to answer you all, looks like I have to do more effort to let the other readers open up to me. And I will do my best to do it. I will add the questions of the other readers in it, if they ask. 


Shiny_Star5683, Renu_Manjari, ihtawsthank you for all the questions, It was really fun to answer the questions. I hope you all, and the other readers can support us throughout our journey.


Only one word: Heirloom 
Heirloom? Isn't that a valuable object that has belonged to a family for several generations? 
Something that is supposed to bring pride, but not always, at least not in this story. 
Everything started with the mysterious 'Heirloom' and everything will probably end with it. 
Li Wei is our ML and Wang Yu Yan is our FL. The empty blanks I will leave it to you all to fill as you read their story. 
Come, witness their journey full of love, dangers, and some life-threatening secrets.

_____________________
Excerpt
He kissed her softly at first and then with a swift gradation of intensity that made Wang Yu Yan cling to him as the only stable thing in the dizzy swaying world. 
And Wang Yu Yan did not realize when her hands clutched to Li Wei's shirt tightly. Her hands automatically circled Li Wei's neck. 
On realizing this, Li Wei slowly and slowly kept on deepening the kiss. It became more and more passionately by the second. As it did, Wang Yu Yan felt her heartbeat accelerating. 
Li Wei parted his lips from her shaking lips, sending wild tremors along her nerves, evoking her sensations she had never known she was capable of feeling. 
Li Wei looked into her deep eyes. Wang Yu Yan was doing the same. This feeling that she was felt was foreign yet a nice feeling. She wanted to feel more of this, more of this, and before a swimming giddiness spun her round and round, Wang Yu Yan knew that she was kissing him back.

Romance is a very popular genre in Webnovels. The first thing that come to mind when we talk about romance are the CEO novels. Even though we don't want to admit it, they are the mainstream romance stories in the Webnovel website. 

So why do people love romance stories? I hope you find the answer while reading this chapter.

----------------------------------

FattyBai: No worries, was just a bit curious. It's always amazing seeing how the Romance genre basically dominates the site.

Parasection: and CEO stories.

FattyBai: So I was sort of curious what the demographics on the reader's sex were. But yeah, it's a fair assumption to say that the ladies rule the site, lol

WWFire: Readers gender stats r ambiguous, it is manipulatable after all.

FattyBai: Unless there's this hidden group of guys who have been starving for CEO romance novels (which would actually be funny).

Parasection: But the sacred texts.

WWFire: All I see are genderless alien. *derp emoticon*

reinesse ♥: kek.

FattyBai: How do we pull in the female readers in if we can't write a romance story? *cry emoticon*

Parasection: No choice but to write yaoi then.

WWFire: We who read these kind of fantasy novels don't live our lives correctly pal.

CailinMatthews: *ghost hug emoticon*

Parasection: Give in to the demons.

WWFire: That's why we escape reality sometimes. 

FattyBai: It's like being offered a big cake and unable to take a slice.

Zehell2218: I think male reader have their own chance and market.

FattyBai: For sure, but it'd be nice to tap into both sides.

Zehell2218: @FattyBai I think I'll make fantasy romance so I can attract both.

FattyBai: I mean, it's not a bad idea, but how do you split it up? 50% romance/50% dragon ball z?


Parasection: The fuq that sounds like an abomination.

FattyBai: It does.

Zehell2218: @FattyBai No it's 80% romance 20% action. *joy emoticon*

Noveljunky: Besides Romance, what else do females like to read?

Parasection: BL, yaoi, drama.

Zehell2218: Still BL is romance.

Anjeeriku: horror lol.

reinesse ♥: @Noveljunky xianxia I think.

Noveljunky: Mmm.

Zenith: Well, need too write romance...kek

Zehell2218: Do female reader like to read apocalypse novel? Quick question since I will make fantasy romance in apocalypse.

[A/N: Sis, did you forget that you're a girl too?]

Totally Not Nano: nah oof.

FattyBai: @Zehell2218 Aww, man. But then you have to develop characters and write meaningful dialogue.

Zenith: I am probably gonna f*ck up my time trying to make a romance story.

FattyBai: We like blowing stuff up and fighting baddies.

Zehell2218: cmon it will be comedy. *laugh emoticon*

Parasection: The best thing in a novel is character development humor and action romance can be on the side.

Anjeeriku: Romance can be a great sub genre.

Parasection: how does one even write romance? I don't know where to begin with that genre.

FattyBai: I'm a simple guy, I see plot and I drown it in martial arts and manly stuff. Of course, I don't know what feelings are. Can you eat them to increase your cultivation base? *think smart emoticon*

Parasection: I've never experienced romance so i'd fail the moment i'd attempt a story like that.

Zehell2218: Actually, I like to write fighting scene but without romance my reader will kill me. So...yeah I tag it as romance! *joy emoticon*

Parasection: Fight scenes are fun to write.

FattyBai: I'm trying to break through into the "Immortal lonely sperg" phase~

Zehell2218: Very sloooooowww romance.

Anjeeriku: Please no abusive ML @Zehell2218 They're disgusting. idk why women like to read them.

Zehell2218: @Anjeeriku I don't know if girls who read xianxia will read apocalypse novel too.

reinesse ♥: I wanna write a novel like it's not easy to be a man after traveling to the future.

Zehell2218: @Anjeeriku No I won't make abusive ML. @reinesse ♥ same *joy emoticon*

Totally Not Nano: @Anjeeriku *cough* TBWWM *cough*

reinesse ♥: And an actual xianxia novel with reasonable characters.

Zehell2218: But without the romance it's bland.

reinesse ♥: Like characters, especially main character who knows how to adjust because extreme pride is not good.

FattyBai: @Zehell2218 Baby Dragon Truer words have not been spoken, and that scares me.

reinesse ♥: Some villains are really brainless. they can scheme, but they don't have a reasonable reason to do so

Zenith: Kek.

Zehell2218: @Zenith gramps I have idea for fantasy romance lemme tell you after I finish writing and see if it's interesting or not.

Zenith: Get the MC u desire! Yeah @Zehell2218 

FattyBai: I fear becoming a more wholesome and fleshed out human being. Please no development.

Zehell2218: @Zenith It's ok. Just want to see if people will find this good or not. *joy emoticon*

Totally Not Nano: I think there's a formula in getting famous as a writer.

[A/N: Oh? Such formula exist? Teach me Senpai!]

Totally Not Nano: Let's debate about it. *thinking emoticon*

Parasection: The formula is write romance and you're set.

Totally Not Nano: Any genre + xxxxxxx = top 1.

[A/N: Today… I lost faith in humanity.]

Noveljunky: If you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares back.

Moonbirth: Write a lot. Write everyday. Post a lot everyday... write about what readers want to read about.

Anjeeriku: Write a lot. be a slave. Lol

Elyon knew that "Romance" is not his strong point. He writes a fantasy story with romance, but he can't tell if the romance will be able to attract female readers. Out of curiosity, he asked some of his fellow authors the question "Why do you read romance stories?"

Here are their answers…

Kyosei: Because I am single. 

Reili: To fill my empty void of a love life.

Minrei: Because romance let you feel what is to be loved, plus it is universal you dont need to learn magic or cultivation in order to read.

Bajj: Due to lack of romance irl.

Murakami: I read because I enjoy the friction and conflict between the FL and ML. The insistence vs resistance is naisu.

Qin: I reads romance only for ideas and info.

VlassisBehrakis: I don't read romance novels.

[A/N: Oof I asked the wrong person.]

Elyon then  ̶a̶m̶b̶u̶s̶h̶e̶d̶ asked some readers about their opinion about romance novels.

Yin: I read romance novels because I want that kind of drama to happen to me in real life. But I know it will never happen haha.

A Certain Irresistible Meowlin: I wonder why? And I do read romance novels. Though the chance of me dropping them is also the highest out of all the genres. Every so often I come across a scene that makes me just want to squeal and fangirl. 

----------------------------------

Elyon decided to dig deeper and asked a few of his senior "romance authors" some questions about their reason for writing romance stories.

The first question is… Why did you choose to write Romance Stories?

Anjeeriku: I'm comfortable writing romance stories compared to other genres. I'm a helpless romantic person and I like novels that can invoke other people's feelings.

Bajj: First of all, I like reading romance story. It was the reason why I read books before and reading other genres comes after. All in all, due to these romance fiction books, I got the opportunity to read more great books with different genre.

MishaK: That's what I read, so write that too.

Zehell2218: Because as reader, I want to read romance novel so when I write, I write romance since my motto is I write what I want to read.

Ikazainudin: The easiest genre. Everyone can relate.

End_of_Era: It wasn't a full on Romance, it was slice of life with romance which I feel was necessary with progression of the characters.

----------------------------------


The second question… When you were making your ML and FL, did you imagine yourself as the lead of your story at any given point in time?

Anjeeriku: I would be a liar if I said no. There were instances that I'd put myself in my FL's shoes. Whenever that happens, my writing feels more passionate and truthful that sometimes it was hard to know where my fl starts and where I end. 

Shen Yi, LMD's ML was based on a person I've lost, The One That Got Away so it was sometimes hard not to self-insert whenever there were scenes that need to invoke feelings from readers. 

Bajj: I believe that every character the author was making and breathing life into it, a part of him/her is added to its character. But me imagining of being the ML/FL, never. I'm too pure for that. Kek

MishaK: Yes I did but sometimes. Otherwise you can't infuse emotions in your characters. It is important to understand your characters.

Zehell2218: Yes, I imagine myself as the lead. Of course, I tweak it a bit, such as in age and appearance. But mostly, the characteristics is similar to me.

Ikazainudin: FL and ML character based on what I want to be irl. Yup. I imagine that will be my love story.

End_of_Era: Yes, my leads had some ocassional self insertion.

----------------------------------

The third question… If you were to choose some other genre aside from romance, what would you pick?

Anjeeriku: Fantasy. I always look up to those authors who can write fantasy stories/novels well. I believe writing a fantasy novel is harder than writing romance. 

[A/N: Ahem! 10 points to Griffindor!]

Bajj: Horror/thriller/Action. Read GGGB godamnit! [Good Girl Gone Bad]

MishaK: I am writing a Fantasy romance aside from regular vanilla romance *smile emoticon*

Zehell2218: Fantasy, magical realism, fan fiction.

Ikazainudin: Psychological/horror and maybe children story.

End_of_Era: The new genre I'm writing is fantasy/violent .

----------------------------------


The fourth and final question… If you were to give a message to your beloved readers, what would it be?

Anjeeriku: I'm sorry for not being inconsistent with updates. Y'all know I love you, but a little consideration and patience as I face this rough patch in my life would be very much appreciated.

Bajj: Vote me please :* mass release comes after, deal?

[A/N: Oof!]

MishaK: Be responsible in reviewing the book you are reading. Authors love to listen from their readers. So talk to them.

Zehell2218: Beloved reader, your author here is working hard to provide your daily dose so pliz pretty pliz, read my chapter using paid SS since I don't get even a penny for free SS. 

Tips: use free SS on translation novel. The translator still get money and use paid SS on original novel so we can get a bit money to continue living *wink*

Ikazainudin: I want readers to know, that love, hope and miracles exist. Be open and value each moment of your life like the MC's did.


----------------------------------

Author's Thoughts

Hello Guys! I hope you enjoyed this chapter of WWCG. Personally, I've read a few CEO novels myself. I also read some FL stories like A Slight Smile Is Devastating (Love O2O), Hidden Marriage, Doomed to be Cannon Fodder, Transmigrator meets Reincarnator, A Mistaken Marriage Match: A Generation of Military Counselor, There Is an Angel in That Church (short story), Eight Treasures Trousseau, Grabbing Your Hand, Dragging you Away, A Mistaken Marriage Match: Record of Washed Grievances…

Ai~ there's a few more that I won't add to the list because it will create a wall of text. Well anyways, the reason why I read these stories is to get an idea on "WHY" the ladies love to read them.

Let's just say that it's a unique way to see a world in the eye of a lady (if you are a man of course). When done properly, the execution of the story can capture the hearts of anyone, even male readers. I believe that no matter what gender you are, as long as you find the story interesting then it doesn't matter whether you are a guy or a gal no?

Perhaps, when I'm not too busy to write my stories, I'll once again pick a romance novel to read. Hopefully, I will find another hidden gem that will bring unexpected surprises to anyone who are lucky enough to find them.

P.S I would like to thank my fellow authors, especially my senior romance authors who answered some of my questions regarding romance novels. 

To my senior authors, May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind always be at your back. May the Power Stones shine warm upon your face, and Spirit Stones fall soft upon your fields. (￣▽￣)ノ

P.S The Cover Drawing is not mine. I just find it nice so I used it. Full credits go to the owner.

Pei Qian took a sip of his tea and continued, "We will only offer fixed-rate contracts for the top writers on our website."
"That's because the terms of this contract are better. It's equivalent to giving a benefit to the authors of our website. We will not provide such benefits until other authors prove their strength."
"The total word count should be between 10,000 to 500,000 words for a fixed-rate contract. They cannot exceed 500,000 words."
"The fixed-rate contract will be calculated based on triple the revenue that the author earned from his previous books. For example, the original royalty contract of the author's previous book was about 1,000 yuan per 1,000 words. Then, the royalties for this book would be 3,000 words per 1,000 words."
"There is no minimum requirement to update. They can write as much as they want. Slow work will produce fine work."
"What's more, we don't accept complete originality, we can only write custom-made novels. We provide IPs for the authors."
Pei Qian could not help but be impressed by his own intelligence after he finished speaking.
Fixed-rate Contracts and customizing. Wouldn't he be able to wipe out all the famous authors on Zhongdian Chinese Network and cripple them?
Those who read online literature often knew that fixed-rate contracts and customizing was the easiest way to produce rubbish works.
That was because the first prerequisite for creating good works was freedom.
Authors could only write outstanding works if they were free to write about topics that they were good at and had strong drive in.
If an author who was good at writing sci-fi novels had to write romance novels, the things he wrote would definitely be horrible.
On the other hand, custom-made works were often works th\at the client had a certain need for commercial publicity. At that time, the author's creative thinking would definitely be restricted by the client.
The client would definitely suggest some changes or interfere with the author's outline in order for the works to meet their requirements. On the other hand, the author would not be able to create the works according to his own ideas. His attitude would be different and would not be able to produce 120% of the works.
That was because the first target of custom-made text was the client, not the reader. Thus, there was a high chance that it would not be liked by the reader.
On top of the restrictions on custom-made novels, the fixed-rate contract would further dampen the author's creativity.
That was because fixed-rate contracts meant that there would be a steady income. The cost of the custom-made text was also very high. The author only had to use a little bit of brainpower to bring the works to about 60 points to complete the client's requirements. There was no need to work hard to write 80 or even 100 points.
He would not be able to do it because his creative freedom was not high enough and the theme was not good enough even if he wanted to write to 100 marks.
Thus, Pei Qian had released this trump card of customization and the fixed-rate contract to "bribe" all the top writers of Zhongdian Chinese Network.
It was all about earning money for these authors irregardless of whether they were on royalties or fixed-rate contracts. How they chose would depend on which one earned more money.
It would be easier to write custom-made designs. The amount of royalties calculated by word count would almost double. He could earn as much money as he used to after writing casually every day. Why not?
If the royalties previously were 1,000 yuan per 1,000 words, he could earn 300,000 yuan per month by writing 300,000 words. According to the purchase order, the royalties would be tripled. He could earn the same amount of money by writing 100,000 words each month.
However, the workload was greatly reduced!
While the fixed-rate contract system was voluntary and not mandatory, Pei Qian felt that no one would reject such a good offer, right?
Who would go against money?
That way, the authors' income would not be affected and Pei Qian's purpose would be achieved if the website incurred losses.
Ma Yiqun obviously knew this very well. That was why he looked shocked. He did not know what Boss Pei was up to.
While it was up to the authors to decide whether they wanted to sell their book or not, only a few of the head writers would reject it based on the current price.
Of course, it was a good thing for the authors, but it seemed to be very risky for the website. If they were not careful, it would cause huge losses.
Ma Yiqun pondered for a moment and asked, "Boss Pei, are there any other restrictions on this fixed-rate contract? What if no one reads the novel written by the author? Can you ask him to finish the novel in advance or force him to edit it?"
Pei Qian shook his head. "There are no other restrictions. However, there is a requirement for the word count. Each book has to be written at ten to five hundred thousand words. If it exceeds five hundred thousand words, they will not be paid. They will have to start another book."
The reason why he set the word count requirement was mainly to create difficulties for the authors who were used to writing long chapters.
At the moment, the standard word count for online novels was two to three million words. No matter how long it was, there were many people who could write five million words or more.
Therefore, when the authors first set the story outline, they were used to setting the entire text above two million words. If the great authors could write something famous, they would definitely be more familiar with it.
However, now they had to compress the story to a hundred to five hundred thousand words and write a short story. That would be using a creative way that they were not good at.
On the other hand, most readers of online novels liked to read long works and were not interested in short stories.
That way, the possibility of making money from novels would be further reduced.
Ma Yiqun asked again, "We can terminate the purchase agreement if the authors write a few rubbish novels, right?"
Pei Qian wanted to say no, but he felt that it did not make any sense. An author had been producing rubbish, but the website was still buying out his work at extremely high royalties from him. It did not make sense and was too unreasonable.
Thus, after some consideration, he decided to adopt a relatively neutral plan. "If the results of two consecutive books are very bad, let the author revert back to a royalty contract. He can continue with the fixed-rate contract when he's doing well again."
That way, authors who wanted to slack off would be able to continue writing with a fixed-rate contract and cheat money after writing a novel with royalty contracts. The rules of the website were basically 'come and cheat me of my money' and 'this fool has a lot of money' written on it.
Ma Yiqun asked again, "What type of custom-made novels should there be?"
"Can we take on some custom-made novels from other companies?"
Pei Qian immediately shook his head. "No! We can only write with the IP that Tengda has."
Ma Yiqun: "…"
He might still be able to make a profit if he could accept custom-made novels from other companies.
For example, if some popular online games needed to be promoted, Ma Yiqun could recommend his outstanding authors to the company, ask the company to fork out money, and ask the authors to write them. That way, Zhongdian Chinese Network could earn a sum of advertising fees.
However, Boss Pei rejected that possibility on the spot!
According to Boss Pei, the restrictions on custom-made novels were really strange.
It could not be purely original nor could it be custom-made by other companies. It could only be Tengda's IP.
What was Tengda's IP?
Ma Yiqun gave it some thought. This included the various games that Tengda had developed, such as Repent and be Saved, Ocean Stronghold, Struggle, and so on.
This included the short videos and films that Fei Huang Workspace had already shot, such as Tomorrow is Beautiful and the current filming of Mission and Choice;
That included the various IP images bought from GOG, as well as original hero characters like Modest and Ruan;
Including the various superhero characters in the works of Hurricane Comics;
Other than that, some of the popular novels on Zhongdian Chinese Network and other miscellaneous things were considered Tengda's IP.
It did look like a lot, but what was the point of customizing these things?
The only use was to fill up the entire "Tengda Universe" 's story storage. However, many of the IPs did not need to be filled up at all: The content of the original work had already been expressed very clearly and thoroughly. Why did it still have to continue?
Would these authors be able to write stories that were comparable to the original works if they wrote them seriously? Ma Yiqun did not think so at all. That was because many of the original works were personally written by Boss Pei. These authors would not be able to catch up even if they tried.
What's more, it was still a loss compared to the money spent on buying these works.
That was because the purchase strategy this time was not only targeted at one author, but all of Zhongdian Chinese Network's top authors. If these authors were determined to deceive and cheat money, Zhongdian Chinese Network would spend a lot of money on rubbish. It would be very difficult to guarantee the website's interests.
Ma Yiqun pondered for a long time, but he was still very confused by Boss Pei's decision.
However, Ma Yiqun did not say much seeing Boss Pei's confident expression.
Boss Pei's actions were always so unpredictable after all. No matter how ridiculous and strange Boss Pei's decisions looked at the beginning, they were proven to have deeper meaning and were extremely successful.
Thus, Ma Yiqun nodded. "Alright, Boss Pei. I'll make the arrangements soon."
Pei Qian was very satisfied with his attitude. "Yes, very good."
"On top of that, there's another matter regarding the authors' class."
"This class has been running for some time. It's time to make some improvements."
"My idea is to create another 'inspiration class' based on this study class."
"Gather all the top writers, especially those who have decided to write custom-made novels, and join this inspiration class."
"In the inspiration class, we will prepare a large number of novels, movies, and games for them. We asked them to collect materials from them every day. Then, they would exchange their writing skills and knowledge and recommend games or movies that they think are fun."
"For this inspiration class, there must be some initial investment. For example, the monitor must be big, the earphones must be good, the seats must be comfortable, and the various resources inside must be directly purchased from the original, ultra-high-definition blue-light discs to provide the best viewing experience for everyone."
"In the previous class, the authors could only write and check their information. They could not do anything else. In this inspiration class, the authors could only do things related to collecting inspiration. They could only write for two hours every day for eight hours."
Ma Yiqun was stunned again. "Huh? This…"
How was this an inspiration class? It was obviously a pleasure class and a slacker class!
One of the most important reasons why the study class had been successful before was that the "small dark room" could allow authors with poor self-control to concentrate on writing in this environment. That was how many outstanding works were born.
However, now, everyone could watch movies if they wanted to. They could play games if they wanted to. Not only were they not locked up in the dark room, but they were also restricted to writing for two hours a day.
Wasn't that encouraging them to slack?
What's more, Boss Pei had also said that this inspiration class was mainly targeted at authors who had decided to write custom-made novels. These people's requirements for updating were very low to begin with, and their creativity would probably not be high. He had also arranged a comfortable and enjoyable environment for them…
These people were probably going to be crippled!
They were the top writers and pillars of Zhongdian Chinese Network. If they were to become useless, not only would it affect the website's income, but it would also affect the number of outstanding works and readers' comments on the website…
Ma Yiqun hesitated for a moment and said, "Boss Pei, isn't this environment too relaxed?"
Pei Qian sniggered. "That's right!"
"To these top writers, they have no lack of skills or skills. If they want to improve, they need more inspiration. They need to slow down and work hard!"
"Nowadays, many novels have millions of words. Each day, they would update thousands or even ten thousand words a day. How can a good novel be written with such huge pressure?"
"Tell them to slow down and polish it!"
Ma Yiqun opened his mouth, wanting to say something more, but he could not.
Obviously, Boss Pei's thinking seemed a little unrealistic. These online novels were meant to be used for recreational purposes. So what if they slowed down and polished it well? Could they even produce a famous novel?
However, he could not say that Boss Pei's idea was wrong. He could only say that Boss Pei had a higher level of vision than him and had a greater goal.
Ma Yiqun hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded. "Alright, Boss Pei. I'll make the arrangements now!"


I really just want to lose money! T_T
Best boss ever, prodigy of the business world, genius creator, visionary of the century.
These are the descriptions used for Pei Qian, President of Tengda Corporation.
Ever since his rebirth, Pei Qian finds himself in possession of a system that rewards him if he manages to lose money.
Instantly, a brilliant idea comes to mind — making crappy games!
"If the game flops, all my investment cost will be lost!"
"How difficult can it be to lose money?"
Indeed... how difficult can it be?

"Currently, the previous bet is already over. We'll just ignore it and not consider it any further." Shiroishi Kazuma slowly said, "So, now, we mainly have to focus on the online novel website.

If it's according to your idea to increase the flat fees of the authors at the novel website and find ghostwriters to increase the number of novels, all these can more or less be done, but it's still far from enough!
"In this day and age, channels are the king.
"Number one, get through all the possible channels of the novel website and liaise with our joint venture companies in Heavenly State. As long as they are enterprises related to the internet, they must all advertise on the novel website.
"Number two, liaise with the telecommunication companies in Heavenly State and get them to send messages to prompt people to read our novels!
"Number three, liaise with all the web portals in Heavenly State, including Weibo, and open all channels to read our novels.
"Number four, hold a free of charge reading day to attract those readers that are used to reading free of charge books.
"Number five, hype things up and expose our Feng Yun website's remunerations for our authors on all the websites related to novels!
"Number six, liaise with the TV stations to interview our authors and create more exposure for the website!" 
Upon hearing Shiroishi Kazuma's suggestions, Ko Gohon's face glowed as he firmly smacked his thigh. "Understood. I'll get these done right away!"
…
In the next few days, advertisements about Feng Yun website suddenly emerged everywhere. Advertisements for Feng Yun website were all over all the various websites in Heavenly State.
"Feng Yun website is the largest local reading base, free of charge reading and downloading of the novels. No pop-up ads, simple and clean webpage. Come to Feng Yun website to find good novels!"—Haoche Website. 
"Feng Yun website is an online novel website with no pop-up ads, providing the latest and best novels for all novel lovers. Come to Feng Yun website to read novels!"—Dream Paris.
"Feng Yun website provides you with various literature works with no advertisements to spoil your reading experience. It's a website which creates an elegant environment to read novels for all friends who are literature lovers, and the content includes various popular novels."—Guodian Online. 
…
On smartphones.
Countless people throughout Heavenly State had received messages about Feng Yun website's novels.
"We welcome you to the free of charge reading column, Feng Yun website provides all kinds of awesome and exciting novels." 
"[Urban] Personal Show: My Best Grade Missy."
"[Military Affairs] Special Operation of the Falcons: Special Force Number One." 
"[History] Great Waves Again in the Court: Big Fatuous Ruler."
"[Urban] Exceedingly Beautiful Superior: Pretty Tenant."
"[Fantasy] Wuzun Sword Slashes The Vault Of Heaven: Wudao Vault of Heaven."
Countless curious readers clicked on the advertisements, and after taking a few glances, they were satisfied with what they saw. "Mm, these book recommendations are not bad. It's quite good to kill time. This Feng Yun website is quite brilliant!"
Of course, there were those unimpressed as well. "Tsk, such a tacky way of promoting books. Now that there is the smartphone reading app produced by Young Master Hong Dali, who would still want to read these. Zhong Dian website is the king!"
…
On Xinhai Weibo—
Drunk and leaning on the fence of the pavilion, Meng Ziying Weibo Talent: "Feng Yun website's novel 'Yifan's trouble' is very well written. I like how Yifan bullies Shaowan, serves him right for bullying Xiaochao… Mm, amusing as usual, this work is quite good." 
Douban Doujiao Doubao Weibo Talent: "Feng Yun website's novels are quite good. I read novels there the whole day today. The books are not bad! Worth taking a look at them, I strongly recommend!
@Tangdou-like unlucky person: Feng Yun website is not bad, quickly gather and take a look @Dark Building Lonely Spirit 
@Dark Night Vigilante 
@Zuiyu Changwan_Shifu Calls Me Xiaowan @Muying Huange_Little Angel Of The Wolf Master 
@Fleeting Time At Finger Tips."
"Feng Yun website rises strongly, regarding the rise of online literature."—Soulang.
"Earth-shaking big scheme, about the counterattack of Feng Yun website."—Easy Net.
"Small online novel, big wealth! Feng Yun website's powerful rise!"—Dongfang Wealth.
"Read novels, go to Feng Yun website. Write novels, still go to Feng Yun website."—Tianjing's Plaza.
…
In the various readers' group chats.
"These two days, there are so many free books to read on Feng Yun website. I've discovered a few good ones."
"Really, then I'll go and take a look too."
"Of course it's true, it writes that the books are free of charge for a limited period of time!"
"Not bad, not bad. This website is doing pretty well!"
…
On the largest local online novel forum.
"Overwhelming amount of subscriptions! Feng Yun website with all kinds of awesomeness!"
"Zhong Dian or Feng Yun? A newbie feels that Feng Yun is still better!"
"Please help, a newcomer wanting to know whether it's better to go to Feng Yun or Zhong Dian? I personally feel that Feng Yun is better, I can earn quick money."
"Zhong Dian wants to defeat Feng Yun just by relying on a smartphone app, does Feng Yun know about this?"
…
At the TV station.
"Hello, hello, as a Great God-level author on Feng Yun website, may I know how much can your monthly earnings reach?"
"Earnings, this… Around 20 to 30 thousand per month is still fine."
"So much? Then you must be one of those people with the highest earnings on Feng Yun website, right?"
"No! How is it possible that my earnings are so high. My fingers are not nimble, so I type considerably slower. We have people who can type fast and are able to write 10 to 20 thousand words per day, and their remuneration is at least 50 thousand and above per month. There are even people earning 100 thousand!"
"So much?!"
"Yes, Feng Yun website's perks are very good."
…
In Tianjing City, the tallest television tower, in the top floor revolving restaurant.
"Young Master, Chief, the latest totaled reports of Feng Yun website are out!" The bodyguard was shivering with fear as he looked at Shiroishi Kazuma whose back was facing him and was standing in front of the window with his hands placed at his back. This time, he really saluted him. "According to the latest reports, currently, the site traffic of the website has already increased to 2.4 million and above for daily independent IPs. These two days, large batches of newcomers have started writing new books, and the number of updated books in three days have already reached 3,600 books!" 
"So fast!" Ko Gohon exclaimed, "Uncle Kazuma, your idea is really useful!"
"So-so." Shiroishi Kazuma's voice was very calm. "How many daily updated books does Zhong Dian website have now?"
"Chief," The bodyguard's expression and voice were filled with respect. "At the moment, there are approximately 4,500 newly updated books daily."
"Mm, we still lack 900 books." Shiroishi Kazuma said with satisfaction, "It's still within our control. If things continue progressing this way, probably in no time, we will be able to overtake Zhong Dian website. After all, the authors are after all the benefits and perks. As long as there is enough advertising, and the money is sufficient, it's not difficult to attract authors over."
Ko Gohon fully looked up to Shiroishi Kazuma now, as he anxiously asked, "Uncle Kazuma, then, do we continue like this? Why don't I get more ghostwriters to write more books? It's fine as long as it can surpass Hong Dali. I don't plan to earn much money from it."
Upon hearing Ko Gohon's words, Shiroishi Kazuma shook his head and slowly said, "No, if Hong Dali can earn money, why can't we?"
"Ah?" Ko Gohon said in surprise, "Uncle Kazuma, you're planning to… seriously run this Feng Yun website?"
"Yes." Shiroishi Kazuma nodded, yet he didn't continue talking about the novel website but instead looked out of the window, saying, "Young Master Gohon, look at the night view of Tianjing City. How beautiful is it? It's not lacking compared to Tokyo in our Jaban Empire, isn't it?" 
It was night right now. The night view of Tianjing City was extremely beautiful. Neon lights were flashing, and it was especially comfortable to stand from high up and look down, coupled with the gentle night breeze.
"It's very pretty." Ko Gohon agreed. "I haven't really noticed it previously."
"Yes, we haven't noticed it previously." Shiroishi Kazuma's voice was very calm, as he slowly stated, "It's the same for our Toyoda Conglomerate. As the top 16 in the world, the funds of our Toyoda Conglomerate are ample. You normally don't care about this, so you won't care about how much money you spend. You just feel that all the money is there for you to take it."
"I understand, Uncle Kazuma." Upon hearing this, Ko Gohon instantly understood what Shiroishi Kazuma meant.
Actually, he wasn't a stupid person. It was just that in the midst of fighting with Hong Dali, he had always been at the losing end, thus his conflicted mind.
Toyoda Conglomerate was indeed very rich. Just like the night view of Tianjing City, though it was pretty, one wouldn't notice it after looking at it for many times. But no matter how rich it was, after all, it had been built up bit by bit, and it didn't just drop down from the sky.
In that case, as long as they properly operated this Feng Yun website, then they could earn money. So why don't they do it properly and well?
"Uncle Kazuma, what should we do next?" Ko Gohon asked.
"Now since the popularity has already been increased, then next, we'll take in all the good ones and eliminate the bad ones." Shiroishi Kazuma slowly said, "Eliminate all those poor-quality books and get them to finish writing them as soon as possible. Secure those good-quality books and do your best in nurturing their authors. At the same time, slightly change the welfare benefits policy and slowly convert the severance method to giving out dividends. After the novel website has entered a stable phase of operation, it would then be a virtuous cycle." 
"Uncle Kazuma, you are brilliant!" Ko Gohon was elated. "Then, after the website has entered a virtuous cycle, we can earn quite a lot of money, right?"
"Yes." Shiroishi Kazuma smiled. "Don't belittle online novel websites. All the profits from the adaptations of films, online games, merchandises and so on are actually huge. I truly admire Hong Dali. The things started up by this lad truly have very big prospects!" 
"After hearing what Uncle Kazuma just said, I realized that this Hong Dali is very brilliant!" Now, Ko Gohon finally had to admit that Hong Dali was indeed brilliant. "I haven't thought about all this!"
Speaking up to this point, Ko Gohon recalled his bet with Hong Dali. "But Uncle Kazuma, my bet with Hong Dali…"
"Hehe, there's no hurry on that." Shiroishi Kazuma wasn't worried at all about the bet and insipidly said, "Since I've come, of course I have a way to help you win. Wait for a few more days, let's see first whether Hong Dali's side makes any moves."
Shiroishi Kazuma assured Ko Gohon, then instructed him, "Remember, leave your trump card for the last. Don't take them all out at once. Or else, what will you have left to fight him by then?"
"I understand!" This time, Ko Gohon was really convinced. "Thank you for your advice, Uncle Kazuma."


"I have to squander; otherwise, won't it be a waste of my parent's talent at earning money?" Hong Dali answers a reporter's question matter-of-factly. 

Just after the interview ends, Hong Dali opens the Great Prodigal System's interface and looks at the various good stuff displayed in it. Stroking his chin, he mumbles to himself, "I just need to squander 200 billion yuan more to exchange for the blueprint of the core technology, Engine Destruction, found in the strongest humanoid mecha weapon, Neo Granzon. Looks like I'll have to work harder!"

"I want to splurge! I want to squander!"


As the title says, this is not a chapter. Just afterward. I even said in the last chapter that PLEASE don't unlock it if you don't want to use your coins or fast pass to unlock it. It's too late to complain now.
Welcome to the afterward of VOLUME 7.
First of all, thanks for reading so far, and I hope you keep reading the novel.
As promised, let's talk about some facts that you might have missed while reading. And some of my thoughts and future plans for this novel.
First of, let's talk about the next volume/arc. The next arc will be a spin-off arc. Which will be totally focused on how Das was before he met Elena. And Das and Elena's love story.
Yes, we will finally get to know how Elena turned Das into how he is now.
You might think this is an unneeded arc, or there is no need for the spin-off.
 Let me clarify some of the un-asked questions. First, many of the questions about Das will be answered in this volume.
Most of the things that are related to Das might be revealed.
Let me spoil some stuff about Das before we head to Volume eight.
Das was a psycho before he met Elena. He killed many and many, and tried to make this world a better place. But his way of doing it was evil. After he met Elena, he tried to be kind and be a good person. 
He regretted it. But changed regardless.
As long as he is with Elena, his thoughts on the process will stay kind. But now, he is slowly reverting back to his old self.
HE WILL STILL BE KIND WITH THE GIRLS HE LOVES.
Now let's talk about the stuff that happened in this volume.
Please note that Das doesn't remember what happens in the white-space. (Doesn't include his time with Lily)
As for the other dreams, he mostly doesn't remember them, or maybe he does. That is uncertain.
His system plays an important role in this volume.
I think most will now have an idea of how his system works.
Lily controls his system, most of it. But there is still some stuff that Lily can't control or can't even access.
Lily can't do anything with his system's permission, i.e - Das' permission.
Lily can see what Das remembers, but can't hear his thoughts or what he thinks.
Lily cannot access his memory unless there is a malfunction in his system.
Lily doesn't know anything about how Das got his system.
Lily has the same level of power in her dimension as much as Das.
Lily can't access anything outside his system, using his system.
Lily doesn't care about Das' system.
Das doesn't have any access to his system unless Lily is awake. (he needs Lily to tweak his system)
Das can change his strength as it's a direct command from Das.
Lily can do anything in the world as long as she has access to Das' system.
If Lily uses Das' system and it doesn't have any effect on Das body, then he is not in danger.
If Das uses his system, and his body is tweaked, it can have an effect on his system.
The healing and boosting of the processes of his body using the system sucks his life energy.
Alright, I think this is enough with the facts.
THE NOVEL IS CURRENTLY AT 8% OF THE STORY.
Yes, you read that right. It's at 8%.
There are many things that are still not revealed. And even more, stuff which Das has no idea about.
Phase one of the novel is ended.
From the next volume onwards, the story will be focused on multiple characters.
Anything sad or major that happens with Das causes huge damage to Das' brain.
Das can no longer think straight for more than ten minutes.
His body pains never stopped. His body still aches from time to time, and all he can do is quietly endure them.
The damage to his body done by using Oyuoris are considered as external components, and doesn't include in his body. So the process and the system mostly have no control over them. (for now. Das MIGHT FIND a way to FULLY CONTROL IT)
Das will try to make the best of his system.
A lot of characters will be introduced in the next volumes.
Now let's talk about chapter 262- "Impermanence Eternity"
Man, it took me hours to write it, and I did my best to put all my feelings on that chapter, but boy, I was trashed too much.
Many complained about the useless word padding and said it was not needed, and they feel like I looted them.
I still get comments on some different POV chapters, a lot recently. And they feel like those chapters are not worth it to read.
Please understand that there are some important parts in those chapters and that is very much needed for the future plot.
If you think those chapters are useless, then feel free to think that. But know that you are wrong. I don't think they are useless.
I will keep writing those chapters whenever I think they are needed. And not even 1/10 of the content is repeated in those chapters.
Someone filed a complaint, and I was consulted by my editor about it.
Please note that you don't do any favors on any authors by reading their novels, you read them because you want to.
If you read with fast passes, authors get nothing. If you vote for the novel with power stones, authors get nothing. If you comment or review, the authors get nothing. I don't care how you read my novels, as long as you read it and you are my reader, I am happy.
I will try my best to stay as humble as possible, but if I am being wronged in any way, I will forget that I am an author and you are a reader.
Now let's talk about chapter 262.
That chapter was a very important chapter for me. And it was as hard for me to write it as it was for you to read it.
The repeated "Ba Dump~!"
It looks like many of you forget that Das' heartbeats were almost non-existent.
He mentioned that his heartbeats are very low and you need to press your ear hard on his chest to hear it. (like Elena did)
And in chapter 262, his heartbeat was very loud. Like it was mentioned, his heartbeats were so loud that it was echoing in the hallways.
It was so loud that he could almost feel his heart popping out of this chest.
He was that scared and worried.
But instead of paying attention to that, I was…. High.
Another thing about that chapter is that if you had paid attention, he was remembering/ hearing Daulla's voices. All of his memories with Daulla were flashing before his eyes.
And if you had paid attention, the scenes he was remembering were backward from the last time he saw Daulla.
It slowly started from chapter 255 "You Are a King now" to Chapter 168 "Daulla".
If anyone had picked that up, then a high-five to you. Let's talk on discord, LMAO
Now let's talk about the giveaway winners.

Read "Corrupted System of the Evil Emperor" for better version of this novel.
_____

[The old title of the novel was 'My (idiot) Girlfriend Recommended Me a VR Game, So I Tried Playing It.] 

Daas Ryle, a boy born in a lineage of Royals. He was the only male heir and because of that, there have been many tries to kill him and his family.

Losing the girl he loved when he was a kid, he turned into a psycho. He started to find joy and satisfaction in killing and crushing his enemies. His hate burned like hellfire. Having suffered hell in his childhood, he became an emotionless boy who thought studying was his only way to live. 

"Whoever dares to harm my loved ones shall cease to exist"-- This was his motto.

That was when he met 'her,' the girl who changed his life. He slowly started falling in love with her. She was his Salvatore. Daas began changing, becoming a normal high school boy, at least from the outside.

Then one day, his girlfriend asked him to play a VR game with her. Little did he know that agreeing to play the game would change his life, how it would affect him in the real world, and how his future would change. How he will learn the dark secrets of the cruel world he lives in.
