Tao Rui lived a carefree and happy life, but when he traveled to a new world, all his emotional memories had been taken away.

The best emotional dilution service ensures that he can meet the mission in the best condition in every life.

He opened his eyes and found himself sitting in front of a computer. On the screen was the interface of a novel website.

The system had already scanned the surroundings and said, "Brother Rui, there's no one else in the house except you. You can safely merge your memories."

Tao Rui relaxed and moved his shoulders after hearing this. Perhaps it was because he had been sitting for too long, but his shoulders, neck, waist and back were sore.

He glanced to the side and saw beer cans, lunch boxes, melon peels, and dirty clothes scattered all over the floor. The study looked like a garbage dump.

He walked out and looked at the living room and then the bedroom. Well, there was not a single clean place. The original owner was too sloppy.

He threw everything on the sofa onto the floor, cleared a spot, lay down on it, and took off his glasses.

The original owner was about 200 degrees nearsighted. When he suddenly took off his glasses, his vision became a little blurry. This made Tao Rui, who had excellent eyesight, a little uncomfortable. He closed his eyes and rested while integrating his memories.

The original owner, Tao Rui, was an online novel writer. He was very popular in the early days and was considered famous. People who have been reading for a long time have an impression of him, but not many new readers know him now. He is considered an "ancient god" in the online literature circle.

This is because when online literature first emerged, the demand for content wasn't high. Stories like Mary Sue, time travel, and stallion stories all became popular. Back then, as long as the plot was interesting and the protagonist was consistently entertaining, even if the character's IQ wasn't high enough, they would still be popular.

The original owner wrote a story about a loser who was reborn and got a golden finger, becoming powerful and influential and having twelve beauties as his concubines.

Because he was one of the first to write a rebirth story, and it was a cool story that relied on the golden finger to constantly slap people in the face and climb to the top, it became very popular when it was published.

Later analysis suggests that this type of writing is true to life, with protagonists who are greedy, lustful, concerned with prestige, and attention-seeking, making them seem particularly realistic. Furthermore, the protagonists rely on cheat codes to control their own lives, making it seem as if the readers are also enjoying the experience.

There were no formulaic writings at that time, so the original owner happened to hit the nail on the head, became an instant hit, and also initiated a new formula.

So the original owner wrote very long articles, probably because he fantasized about getting something for nothing and being surrounded by beautiful women all day long, so the content he wrote was particularly vivid.

The novel features childhood sweethearts, school beauties, policewomen, gang bosses, female presidents, and so on. There are beauties of all different styles who are rescued by the protagonist due to different events, and their hearts are moved. In the end, they are willing to live in peace with him and become the protagonist's women. There are even plots where they sleep in the same bed together.

At that time, online literature was not strictly regulated, so such plots could be written. The original owner wrote a long article of eight million words, which stayed in the top ten of the sales list for nearly a year. He also sold the copyright and published it as a book. You can see a neatly arranged set of it in bookstores, which was quite glorious.

Later, he sold the copyright of his book to games, comics, and web dramas. In addition to the share of money he received from several platforms for listing the book, he still earned more than 7 million after tax deduction. It can be said that this book has become a legend.

Many writers in the circle, regardless of whether they read his books or not, always admire his achievements and envy his income when they mention him.

The original owner was just a newly graduated college student who came to Yanjing from a small place to study. He became unemployed after graduation and has never found a job. He rents a small room of ten square meters and relies on his parents for living expenses.

He'd made millions, and he was instantly flattered. He bought a three-bedroom apartment in the fourth ring of Yanjing, a little over 100 square meters. He renovated it thoroughly, outfitting it with the finest appliances and furniture, spending five million. He then bought a five hundred thousand yuan car, a garage, and tens of thousands of yuan worth of computers and chairs. He also feasted, dated women, and dressed himself up from head to toe, practically spending all of his seven million yuan.

The original owner was not in a hurry at that time. After all, he could make money and he was very capable.

But who knew that novels following the rebirth routine were everywhere, and the style he was good at was only popular for a while. His second novel was not popular at all, and some old readers even scolded him for being the same old thing in a new bottle, and that his writing was boring and unoriginal.

He only earned tens of thousands of yuan from his second article. Just as online articles attracted attention, the internet was cleaned up and his stallion article was directly blocked, and he no longer made any profit.

He then became anxious and wrote several more articles in succession. He wrote whatever was on the list of popular articles, completely imitating others.

But his foundation is there, and writing other types of works is not good at all, it can be described as a mess.

He has tried everything from cultivating immortals, ancient martial arts, and interstellar games, and each one is worse than the last, to the point that this old master has become a subject of ridicule in the forum.

After that, every time he wrote a new article, there would be some curious people who would take a look, but then nothing happened. His articles never amazed people again, and he could no longer even support his wealthy life. He only made a few thousand yuan a month.

The original owner, newly wealthy, couldn't bear such a loss. He simply mortgaged the house he'd bought in full, racking up a large loan, which he used for spending. He even tried to learn how to invest, but he had no idea how to do it, so of course he lost everything.

In this way, the original owner, burdened by a loan and earning a few thousand a month, lived in increasingly tight circumstances in Yanjing. He had a friend in the group of great writers who was in a similar situation. Unlike his extravagant ways, this friend had saved some money and hired a few ghostwriters, producing 20,000 words a day. With this high output and decent content, he had achieved a mid-level status in the industry, so he suggested that he follow suit.

But the original owner tried twice but was unlucky and didn't make any money. He also had to pay the ghostwriter a manuscript fee, which cost him a lot of money. He never did it again.

Now, five years later, just as Tao Rui had just seen, the house had become the home of a worthless loser. The original owner couldn't even pay back his mortgage.

But the original owner had some kind of lucky break. When he dressed up nicely to attend a class reunion, he met a cousin of his relative who was brought along by a classmate. This cousin, Ke Bailing, was a university student majoring in education. She was said to be a Chinese teacher in the future and was gentle and pretty.

The original owner was approaching 30, and his family constantly urged him to get married. He disdained every girl they introduced to him from his hometown. But when he saw Ke Bailing, a native of Yanjing, he became interested. Leveraging his confidence from his previous success as a writer and the various pursuit techniques he'd learned from writing stallion stories, he successfully won her over.

Later, he was pleasantly surprised to discover that Ke Bailing actually enjoyed reading novels and would write short stories in his spare time, with excellent writing skills. However, Ke Bailing had always been pressured by his parents to study hard and had never considered becoming an author. He had never published anything he wrote and had no confidence in how good it was.

The original owner saw her advantages. She has a flexible mind and rich imagination. She doesn't write in a clichéd way. Her cheat codes are particularly brilliant and not cliché at all. She is a high-standard novel that meets the preferences of today's readers.

The original owner remembered that his bad friend asked him to find a ghostwriter, and after thinking about it again and again, he coaxed Ke Bailing's saved manuscripts.

He said he enjoyed reading it and urged her to continue writing the subsequent plot, and then he published her manuscript as his own.

The original owner had been keeping his intentions hidden from the beginning, feeling that his only popular work had been banned, and that it would be too embarrassing for subsequent works to become worse and worse. He didn't tell Ke Bailing his pen name, simply saying that he was too embarrassed to reveal it and would wait until they were completely established before telling her.

This was perfectly normal. Ke Bailing enjoyed reading novels and browsing forums. She knew of online writers who had failed to get married after their blind dates, and then had their pen names revealed, leading to ridicule and harassment. So, she understood the original owner's caution and thought it was a good thing. She didn't mind at all and even enjoyed discussing novels with her; after all, it was a shared interest.

After the original owner had failed at so many books, he finally made one that became a hit. Although it was not his style at all, he had tried so many styles in recent years that Ke Bailing's manuscript did not seem out of place. Instead, it gave people the feeling that the original owner had been trying over and over and finally got it right.

When Tao Rui came through, the original owner had already published more than twenty chapters, and the data was very good. He was about to become a VIP and start charging.

In the original script, the original owner's novel once again made it onto the sales charts, much to the owner's surprise. And because it made it onto the charts, it was later discovered by Ke Bailing, a novel lover.

Ke Bailing was shocked and angry, and ran to question the original owner, but the original owner pretended to be ignorant, accompanied her to find evidence, asked her if she had shown it to others, and helped her find out where it was leaked.

Ke Bailing was naive and believed it, so he was tricked by the original owner. He learned that Ke Bailing had not shown the manuscript to anyone except him, and suspected that it had been leaked while the computer was being repaired. The original owner checked the computer and took the opportunity to erase all evidence, destroying the computer, but saved the manuscript to his own computer.

Later, when they fell out, the original owner insisted that he had written the article himself, even stating the conception and inspiration clearly, and accused Ke Bailing of knowing his pen name and trying to take advantage of him.

Ke Bailing had no evidence, and the original owner was a former master. When the two clashed, Ke Bailing was ridiculed and left crying countless times. Feeling guilty, the original owner reported the incident to the school. Ke Bailing's school specialized in education, training teachers who teach and educate, so they prioritized character.

Ke Bailing was embroiled in a scandal that led to several interviews with the school. Her classmates looked at her differently. Even her parents gave her a harsh lecture, angering her to the point of abandoning her major and registering as an author to start a new publication. She wanted to prove that she was the victim, that she could write fiction.

But the novel written with such emotions was not as good as the previous one. The original owner asked that bad friend for advice, and opened many small accounts to post negative comments and curse at Ke Bailing's new articles, and to make trouble in various ways. This forced Ke Bailing to lose his mentality and he could no longer write good works.

This incident left Ke Bailing with a huge psychological trauma. She no longer trusted anyone and was very disgusted with men. Her studies were also affected and she failed to obtain a teacher's certificate. After graduation, she could only find a job with very low salary and lived in a daze.

Her parents are both teachers. They are very concerned about their reputation and favor boys over girls. Because of their profession, they cannot have a second child. They are very dissatisfied with their daughter and scold her almost every day.

Later, when the original owner paid off his mortgage by selling the copyright of the plagiarized manuscript, Ke Bailing went to work due to insomnia and had a car accident on the road and lost his life.

Not only did the original owner not feel guilty, but he felt relieved because this way the secret would never be discovered.

A scumbag is a scumbag. No matter what he does, he is so scumbag that people want to beat him to death.

Tao Rui opened his eyes and asked: [What happened to this scumbag? ]

【Brother Rui, take a look.】

A virtual screen appeared before Tao Rui, playing several clips of the original owner being punished. The original owner was summoned by the school, scolded by his parents, faced with negative comments and insults on his online posts, and mentally collapsed. He was insomniac and trance-like, and was hit by a car...

Tao Rui snorted softly, sat up, and said, "Torture them ten times is too light. These scumbags should be reborn as animals in their next life."

"Brother Rui, I've sent your suggestion to the Spacetime Bureau. They'll consider it. What are you going to do now? The original owner has already plagiarized Ke Bailing's manuscript and sent it out. What should I do? Abandon the account?"

Tao Rui frowned slightly, took his glasses, wiped them carefully with a piece of paper, and began to think.

Abandoning the account and deleting the posts is one method. The original owner has only posted more than 20 chapters so far, and the popularity is not very high. It has not been stolen by the theft website yet. If it is deleted directly, the network is so large that Ke Bailing may not find it.

But this is not a safe practice. The original owner signed the contract with the novel website using his ID card, and there was also a one-inch photo portrait on the inside page of the previously published books. Although there is a big difference between the photos at that time and now, if Ke Bailing comes across that set of books again one day, he will definitely recognize it.

Also, if there are any copyright issues later, the editor will contact him. If I keep it a secret like this, I don’t know how many lies I will have to tell to cover it up. I always feel that the truth will be exposed sooner or later.

But if I admit it directly...

Growing up in a family like that, Ke Bailing was often hurt, rarely praised, and never given the sense of security her family provided. Otherwise, after the events of the original script, she wouldn't have stopped trusting anyone and started to dislike men.

He told her directly that the manuscripts he had saved to coax her into submission were all lies, and that he was trying to plagiarize her manuscripts and publish them to make money. He didn't know what kind of impact it would have on her. Besides, this was the original owner's doing, and Tao Rui didn't want to take the blame unless it was absolutely necessary. In any world, he tried his best not to take the blame, because after taking the blame, no matter how good the future was, there would be a crack, and the damage would remain there and would not go away.

Tao Rui felt a little regretful that he hadn't come through earlier. Now he could only rely on others.

He put on his glasses, and his vision became clearer, but he still felt uncomfortable with something on his nose. He decided to take time to absorb spiritual energy and practice, using it to nourish his glasses. It would be best if he could get rid of them. If the spiritual energy didn't work, he would think of another way.

But the most important thing now was to clean up the house. He had just come from a wealthy second-generation family and was really tired of this smelly "garbage dump". He couldn't hire a cleaner because he had no money at the moment and his mortgage was about to be paid, so he had to save as much as possible.

Tao Rui played a movie to make some noise in the house, and then quickly cleaned up the garbage.

He threw away some of the original owner's old and unusable things as garbage and went downstairs to throw them away five or six times.

During this time, he was also thinking about how to make money quickly, but this was difficult because he had no capital. Gambling on stones, stock trading, or anything else required some capital. Using other knowledge in his head to make money would not make money so quickly.

He pondered it for a long time and finally decided to give live streaming a try. There was a new live streaming website that had recently become very popular. As long as people went live, the gifts they received could be split 50/50 with the platform. There was no need to meet any conditions or sign a contract, just abide by the live streaming rules.

While live streaming, you can also be a game leveling agent and earn some money.

Thanks to his good brother in his previous life who asked him to play games together. They were both very competitive, so they would play games whenever they met. They also found professionals to teach them. In the end, their skills could be called "gods", so they had no problem helping others to play games.

The games in the modern world have nothing to do with the main plot, and the game content is similar. Tao Rui downloaded the most popular game at the time and got the hang of it after about half an hour of trial and error.

He went to several game forums to post messages asking for people to play for him, and then registered a live broadcast account.

The original owner's pen name was "Core Dual Core". When he was writing the novel, Core Dual Core was popular. His name contained the word "Rui", so he chose this name because it was easy to remember.

When Tao Rui registered a live broadcast account, he thought of a new one, "Mr. Wise", which is also easy to remember.

He set up a series of settings in his account and started live streaming his games. Because he had good skills and his commentary was spot on, someone accidentally came in and never left. I don't know if he notified others, but the number of people gradually increased, and viewers began to give him gifts sporadically.

Seeing this, Tao Rui knew that this path was feasible and would be perfect for making quick money. He also thought of a way to avoid taking the blame, so he explained the game rules to everyone more attentively, preparing to increase the popularity of the live broadcast room.

He deliberately showed off a difficult technique. When he had very little health left, he killed the BOSS and dropped a bunch of equipment.

Then he said, "If you like it, remember to follow me. This is my first live broadcast, and I hope everyone will support me." He saw that everyone in the comments was asking him about that technique, so he said, "It's a bit late today, I'll teach you tomorrow during the live broadcast."

The comments are all saying: [It’s not too late, it’s not even dark yet, why is it so late? ]

Tao Rui glanced at the time and said with a smile, "Then I'll quit the game first. You guys wait for me. It'll probably take about three minutes. I'm helping my girlfriend post an online article. It's updated at this time every day, so I can't miss it."

[Your girlfriend is a writer? Show up!]

[Just let her post it herself, go play games!]

A good man would do anything for his girlfriend. What's your girlfriend's pen name? Tell me and I'll support you.

Tao Rui switched to the livestream interface, preventing them from seeing his update. He smiled faintly and said, "My girlfriend doesn't have a pen name, so I sent it to her using my account. She wrote a novel and she doesn't think it's good, so she won't show it to anyone. I think that's fine, so I'll secretly post a few chapters to test it out. If the data is good, I'll tell her. If not, I'll delete the article without telling her."

[So you're the author? Reveal your pen name!]

[Dude, don't let your girlfriend find out. From experience, if you do anything behind your girlfriend's back, you'll get hammered. Women don't like surprises.]

Tao Rui saw the comments and said, "Impossible! Once I prove that readers like her writing, she'll definitely be surprised. Then she can officially become an author. Don't call me a writer. I'm a terrible writer. My writing is far worse than my girlfriend's. I have a lot more to learn."

"Okay, I've sent it. Let's play games." Tao Rui knew when to stop and only revealed a little bit of information.

This was his plan, to create his own evidence before being discovered. No one on the livestream knew his pseudonym, so naturally they wouldn't have seen the article. Furthermore, since the post wasn't popular enough and he didn't show his face, there was no way the two could be connected.

If something happens later, we can dig out his live broadcast to prove that he has no bad intentions.

Tao Rui played a few games seriously and earned 130 yuan from tips that day, which is pretty good for a newcomer.

After that, he ordered some takeout and continued his live broadcast. However, he no longer broadcast his gaming at night. Instead, he broadcast his study and learning how to write online articles.

He searched the forum for excellent teaching posts and experience sharing posts, browsed for useful information, summarized them, and recorded them in his own documents.

After recording like this for an hour, he played a well-known movie. While watching the movie, he opened a new document to record the interesting parts of the movie, the effective foreshadowing, the most memorable points, etc.

People who follow him would check in from time to time to see if he was playing games, and then see that he was studying hard all night.

【So this is how learning to write a novel works. It’s interesting.】

[I'm tired of playing, let's watch a movie together. You know what, your analysis seems pretty spot on.]

I'm kind of looking forward to reading your novel. With such careful analysis, it must be a good read, right? I love reading novels. Thanks for the pen name!

Regardless of what the comments were saying, Tao Rui remained silent, focusing solely on his livestream study. After the film was over, he wrote a nearly 1,000-word summary. It was a bit like a film review, but not quite; it was purely an analysis for his own benefit.

There was actually a viewer who followed him to the end and, after reading his summary, was surprised and said: "I'm also amazing. I actually saw you finish learning and get hungry and eat a midnight snack."

Are you still studying? Keep going! I'm actually quite touched by the hard work the online author puts in.

Tao Rui closed the document, tidied up his desk, and said with a smile, "No more studying today. It's eleven o'clock, time to go to bed."

[Seriously? Going to bed so early?]

[She sounds very young. It's unscientific not to stay up late! ]

"I used to stay up late all the time, but now I feel like my body can't take it anymore, so I plan to adjust my sleep and rest schedule. Early to bed and early to rise is good for your health, and I also plan to exercise. Okay, I'm going to bed now, you guys should get some rest early too, good night."

Good night~

【Remember to play games tomorrow! 】

Tao Rui said hello again and closed the live broadcast room. During the evening study, he only received a few yuan in tips, and there were only a few dozen people watching. After all, it was boring, so a few dozen people were good.

Learning to write online articles is also one of his plans. He has to learn it anyway, so he might as well broadcast it live and record the learning process.

After washing up, Tao Rui sat down to meditate, using practice as a substitute for sleep. He hadn't been kidding when he said his body couldn't handle it. The original owner was a full-time writer, staying home all day eating and drinking without exercise, and his day and night cycles were reversed, making him much weaker than a normal person.

During the few hours of live broadcast, he felt that his heart rate had quickened. Of course, he had to recover as soon as possible.

Tao Rui's first day after arriving here was busy and fulfilling. Feeling guilty about plagiarizing his girlfriend's manuscript, the original owner said he needed to retreat and work on his art. He hadn't contacted Ke Bailing for the past two days, and neither had Tao Rui. He needed to adjust his lifestyle first; his current appearance was a bit shabby.
