CHAPTER 226: CHAPTER 6: THIS ROAD IS BLOCKED_2

There, butterflies with vibrant wings can scatter time’s dust, like Zhuang Zhou. There are also dream-weaving spiders that ride dream horses to create fantasy realms...

The story begins with a cliché, but once he starts writing, he has a way of making the reader unable to stop.

Now he’s well-known, and the story hasn’t even started, but the copyright negotiations are already halfway through—just the game rights alone are offered at a sky-high price of 65 million.

Although Chen Jingbai is not lacking money, the price offered for the game rights is unprecedentedly high, and he naturally can’t say no. At this moment, he reflects on himself—

Currently, he doesn’t have a decent mansion in Beijing. Is this unreasonable?

If he wants to pursue a girl, would having a villa be better?

He currently lives in a 170 square meters prime location flat, which is sad and pathetic compared to a sales office.

For money’s sake, Chen Jingbai rarely hesitated over the document—otherwise, should he skip the vacation this time and write ahead of schedule?

Just as the thought crossed his mind, Chu River sent over a link—

[The new book is published, and you’re allowed to be the first reader.]

Chen Jingbai: ???

Has he been daydreaming too long?

But it has only been 20 minutes since the conversation ended!

Strictly speaking, it’s only been 18 minutes.

Looking at the link again, it’s indeed a link to the new book’s publication. Discounting the preparation time, did Little He really spend 15 minutes writing?

minutes for the first 10,000 words of the new book.

Chen Jingbai remained silent.

—He seems to know Little He’s prototype.

...

Even though his heart is filled with jealousy and disbelief over the octopus-fast typing speed, he still honestly opened the document, yet the enormous title of the new book shocked him—

"Promotion"

As everyone knows, the fewer the words, the greater the challenge.

This simple book title full of countless possibilities, mixed among a slew of straightforward online novel openings, is notably not attractive.

Yet, there’s a slight sweetness in Chen Jingbai’s heart—

Because he also names things in this simple style, as long as the article is good, it’s not an issue.

This shows that he and Little He surprisingly have a tacit understanding.

Sweet (*＾ワ＾*)

Then looking further down—

"Promotion"

Author: Writing Novels Is Easy

[Introduction: Nozhouxing Star Ring Star Belt #09 Auxiliary Star Military Base, new recruit Chen Yang officially enrolls.

As a Physical Ability A-level, Spiritual Power B loser, his ultimate goal is to survive the new recruit training period and then retire successfully, applying for pension subsidies.

If the government could distribute a deserted star no one wants, that would be even better, even if it can’t be used for farming.]

...

Chen Jingbai remained silent.

Frankly, the narrative style of this introduction is quite succinct, but, for some reason, it has an unexpected appeal, so much so that with just these few words, an expansive star map and an unprecedented interstellar battlefield, along with countless epic hero tales emerged in his mind...

He became serious—perhaps Little He indeed possesses some talent for writing novels.

Then opened the main text—

Chen Jingbai’s expression cracked.

...

Because the 10,000-word text seemed less of a novel and more like... like what?

He pondered for a bit, finally accurately describing it—this seemed to be an interstellar version of the new recruit’s enlistment guide, complete with training insights and official documents.

Quite realistic.

And quite... dull.

He was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

...

Chu River finished a game round and smoothly received Chen Jingbai’s review.

[Little He, your setting and introduction are very captivating, I think it has great potential to be a hit.]

Chu River smiled calmly, speaking candidly:

[I think so too.]

Chen Jingbai: ...No need to be so confident.

He tried to concisely phrase a tactful criticism:

"But your main text is written too concisely..."

Chu River was shocked: "I specifically learned your water-style writing—I described how hard it was for new recruit Chen Yang to eat breakfast with Alpha 104 High Concentration Energy Liquid! Is this still considered concise?"

Chen Jingbai remained silent.

He found the specific passage—

[March 1st, Deserted Star trek day 1, logistics specially equipped Alpha 104 High Concentration Nutrition Liquid to prevent inadequate physical capability midway and ultimately getting beaten by the devil trainer.]

[This was my first attempt, the taste was like a slimy thick mucus, salty, and I’ve decided to classify it under "very unappetizing".]

Chen Jingbai’s stomach churned.

He thought, with just these 10,000 words, the main character, new recruit, has already completed registration/testing/selection/enlistment/new environment/trek preparation...
