In every book, there's a scumbag, despicable and shameless, selfish and insidious, who brings misery to countless others. When the boss takes on the scumbag script, they can turn the tables in ...
Tao Rui's ruffian look immediately threw Ke Bailing off his composure, and he was neither laughing nor angry.
She grabbed Tao Rui and pointed at the phone screen with a fierce look on her face, demanding, "What the hell is going on? Tell me the truth! You said you could only read it yourself, and you actually sent it out!!!"
Tao Rui immediately lowered his head and pinched his earlobes with both hands. "It's my fault. I came up with this crooked idea on the spur of the moment. I didn't even ask you. I thought I'd give you a surprise when everyone said it looked good. But then someone reminded me that girls don't like surprises. I'm probably going to get beaten up. I already know I was wrong, so I'm going to confess to you and let you off..."
This time, Ke Bailing was amused by his expression and gently nudged him. "What are you doing? You're several years older than me. Aren't you being childish?"
Tao Rui grabbed her hand and looked at her accusingly, "You think I'm old! No wonder you haven't looked for me in all these days. It turns out you just don't miss me."
Ke Bailing's face flushed instantly. He tried to pull his hand away but couldn't. He turned his head to the side and muttered, "What? Didn't you tell me to stay out of contact while you were writing?"
"So you missed me?"
Ke Bailing remained silent. Tao Rui unceremoniously moved his chair to sit next to her. "Since you're silent, I'll assume you're thinking about me. I miss you, too, and I've been thinking about how to promote your novel every day. Look, I've solicited a lot of suggestions from readers. You can filter and understand their thoughts."
He took the phone and showed Ke Bailing more comments. "These are all suggestions from everyone. The popularity is really high now. I think you can register an author account. It won't affect your daily life anyway. You have so many manuscripts in stock, so just post them slowly. You can write later when you have time. There's no rush."
After all, I've been in this industry for several years, so if you have any questions, I can help you out."
After hearing what he said, Ke Bailing suddenly remembered that she didn’t know her boyfriend’s pen name yet!
She was so surprised that she didn't read it just now. Now she slid the page up and saw the name of the author of the novel - Core Duo.
“???”
Ke Bailing's eyes widened instantly, even more shocked than when he learned the novel had been published. He subconsciously leaned back to distance himself from Tao Rui, stunned. "Are you the Core Duo? The Core Duo who's famous for writing stallion novels?"
Stallion literature, yes, writing this kind of thing does make one feel a bit like a pervert.
Tao Rui considerately let her go, touched his nose, and said awkwardly, "Well, I was young and ignorant, so I just wrote whatever I wanted. Wasn't that popular back then?" He assured her solemnly, "Now I'm a good young man with a good family background. There's absolutely not a single lewd word in my writing. If you don't believe me, go and see."
Ke Bailing felt that he had overreacted. He quickly sat up straight, coughed twice, and apologized. "I'm not saying anything about you. I'm just too surprised. Sorry."
"It's okay, just don't misunderstand me as being vulgar and lascivious."
Ke Bailing thought about it. They'd been together for two or three months, and Tao Rui had only held her hand once, without any lecherous intentions. She'd been a little upset when Tao Rui hadn't contacted her in recent days, thinking he didn't like her and wanted to break up. Thinking about it this way, writing a piece of writing is indeed separate from the author.
Ke Bailing whispered uncomfortably, "It's nothing, actually. I guessed you were writing about danmei before. This, this is at least better than danmei." She felt that she was getting more and more outrageous, so she quickly changed the subject. "Can you tell me how to sign the contract and register? Will it be troublesome? If I repost it, as a new user with a new account, will no one read it?"
Tao Rui glanced at the time and saw it was already afternoon, so he said, "There are quite a lot of trivial things here. Come home with me and I'll talk you through it. I can also fix your computer."
"Ah? Go home?" Ke Bailing blushed instantly, mainly because... she had just talked about the topic of lust, and it was not that she was thinking in the wrong way.
Tao Rui pinched her face amusedly and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'll send you back before closing the dormitory tonight. Otherwise, I have a guest room at home. It will be safe if you lock the door."
Ke Bailing said in a very low voice: "I didn't say it was unsafe..."
"Let's go. You haven't seen my house yet. Go get acquainted with it. If you don't have classes and don't want to stay in school, come find me." Tao Rui packed up his things, took her out to pay the bill, and drove home.
On the way, he and Ke Bailing discussed which subway line would get them to his neighborhood, and that there were several buses outside the complex. Ke Bailing looked up the complex he mentioned and discovered that there was indeed a direct bus from her school to his home. The route was also short, arriving in about 40 minutes, which was more convenient than walking to the subway.
She smiled quietly. If she really came to see him often in the future, it would be quite convenient.
Tao Rui has completely cleaned up his house in the past few days. The layout is simple but looks fresh and clean, and there is a warm home feeling. After all, he stays at home every day, and the house has a very lively feeling.
The first feeling Ke Bailing had when she entered the room was very good. It was much better than she had thought it was for boys’ quarters.
Tao Rui brought her a pair of newly bought men's slippers. "I was alone before, so I didn't buy women's slippers. You can wear these first. When you have time, pick out the ones you like and put them in."
Ke Bailing smiled and said, "Who wants to let him in? I didn't say I want to come here often."
"Then you decide." Tao Rui led her in and said with a smile, "Anyway, the house knows its mistress. It's up to her whether she wants to add some of her own things."
The word "hostess" made Ke Bailing feel awkward again. She also found it strange; she wasn't usually shy. Perhaps it was her first time at her boyfriend's house, and she was already nervous. She deliberately walked to the front, avoiding Tao Rui's playful smile.
Tao Rui showed her around each room and hung up a new towel for her to wipe her hands. Then he cut some fruit and poured some water before getting down to business.
"I slightly revised your article and republished it. It definitely incorporates some of my writing habits. I think when you republish it, you should use your original draft and go over it yourself to correct typos and any inappropriate parts before republishing it. This way, every point of reader feedback is given to you in the most direct way, making it more valuable as a reference."
Also, this article is very popular right now. I estimate that changing the account and reposting it will not have much impact. I will strongly recommend it then. You can send red envelopes in each chapter of the new article to thank everyone for their support. Then everyone's dissatisfaction with the account change will disappear, and they will definitely support you enthusiastically.
Don't worry about the grade of your essay. I've reviewed everything you've written, and there aren't any major issues. Some minor beginner issues are harmless, and they'll be fine as you write more. Besides, when you submit your previous draft, I'll show you my experience, so you'll have plenty of time to revise. The final result will be excellent."
Tao Rui was very serious when talking about business, and Ke Bailing nodded as she listened. These were things she didn't understand, but now that Tao Rui was explaining them to her, she took them all to heart.
Tao Rui opened his computer and showed her the various permissions and page functions of the author's background, and told her in detail what an author needs to do, how to publish, revise, reply to comments, etc.
These things were simple, but for complete strangers, it was still difficult to figure them out. Now that Tao Rui was leading the way, Ke Bailing suddenly felt that things were much easier.
She initially had no confidence in becoming a writer, as the gap between reader and author felt like a chasm. When friends, knowing she loved reading novels, jokingly suggested she write her own, she immediately said no, no, how could she write?
Actually, I never thought about it.
Now that she had seen Tao Rui explain it so clearly, she suddenly felt that becoming an author was surprisingly easy, even easier than finding a good novel. Furthermore, Tao Rui was a masterful author, and his attentiveness to her affairs gave her an inexplicable sense of security.
After Tao Rui finished speaking, he asked her, "Do you have any questions? Do you want to register a pen name now?"
"Now? So soon?"
"Not any time soon. Good-performing articles can become VIP sooner, and the recommended positions will be different from the free period. For example, I've only published 30 chapters so far. If I didn't need to change my account, I would have become a V now.
And because I mentioned you and asked for everyone's opinions these past few days, everyone's been very enthusiastic. If this momentum passes, your popularity will decline. Now is the best time."
Ke Bailing was very tempted. He looked at the computer, then at Tao Rui, and nodded heavily. "Then I'll register now."
The website where the original owner wrote was called Feiteng Novel Network, which is currently the largest novel website in China, including both male and female sections. Ke Bailing usually reads articles on the female section of Feiteng.
So Ke Bailing directly registered an account on the female channel, and his pen name was "Lark".
Because she didn't need to wait for data to accumulate, Tao Rui asked her to publish five chapters right away. He also set up a lottery, where anyone who commented on those five chapters would have a chance to win. After 48 hours, 100 people were drawn, and each received 10 yuan.
Ke Bailing was a little hesitant, "I just started writing, and I want to win a thousand yuan in a lottery? That's not a good idea, right?" She actually didn't have much living expenses. Her parents didn't like her, and the living expenses they gave her were just enough to get by.
Tao Rui smiled and said, "Since it's getting so popular, let's be generous and make everyone happy. This will be a good sign for prosperity. Don't worry, you don't have to pay, I'll transfer it to you."
"no……"
"I haven't finished yet. Look, although the free chapter I sent out for this article is not V-rated, readers have given me rewards. The article is yours, and the profits are of course yours too." Tao Rui clicked on the backstage to show her the income table of this article, which clearly stated that the income from the overlord tickets was more than 1,500.
Ke Bailing was a little surprised, then immediately said, "This must be a reward based on your fame. How can a newbie earn 1,500 in a month without even becoming a V? The money is yours."
Tao Rui rested his elbows on the table and turned to look at her. "Lingling, do you think I'm embarrassed to ask for this money? Besides, why are you calculating this from me? Do you look down on me?"
"No, that's not what I meant." Ke Bailing saw Tao Rui's smile and knew that he wasn't angry but was just teasing her. She pinched him in frustration and muttered, "You just bully me. Who looks down on you?"
She didn't use much force, just pinching it like it was tickling. Tao Rui grabbed her hand and said with a smile, "Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore. Anyway, this is a reward from your readers, so it's only fitting that you use it to give back to them. That's it."
After Tao Rui finished speaking, he published another announcement using his own account, telling everyone that his girlfriend had opened an account, and her name was Lark in the female channel. He also posted a link to the article, asking everyone to switch sides.
He gave out red envelopes in this chapter and even wrote a note in the copy and at the top of the comment section. Soon most readers knew about it and rushed to collect the article posted by Lark. Some people also noticed that the article posted by Lark and the article posted by Core Duo were different. The content was roughly the same, but the details were very different. The girl's article was more delicate, which actually gave people a different feeling.
Those who wanted to read it could just re-read it, and those who didn’t read it also left many messages on each chapter, waiting for a chance to win a prize.
In short, Ke Bailing's new account has become lively, with collections, clicks, and comments increasing at a visible rate.
Tao Rui had just given Ke Bailing some fruit when he received a call from Jiu Yue. Jiu Yue hadn't waited for his girlfriend to sign the contract, but he had noticed that she had posted a message, so he quickly called to check on her. Even if she had signed with someone else, he'd at least know who it was.
Tao Rui introduced the editor to Ke Bailing. Jiu Yue was a very kind person and had given writing advice to the original owner before. However, the original owner was a bit chauvinistic and didn't want to listen to the fact that the editor was a woman and younger than him, so he never took it seriously.
But in Tao Rui's opinion, Jiuyue was a very suitable editor. First of all, Jiuyue was the editor-in-chief, with several great authors under her wing. Moreover, because she had joined Feiteng when it was first established, she was in charge of both the male and female channels. She was very familiar with the arrangement and control of various recommended positions and had rich experience.
Secondly, Jiuyue is very attentive and fair, and they're also old acquaintances, so it's a good fit for Ke Bailing to sign with her. This way, they'll both be under the same editorship, and it'll be easier for them to promote each other in the future, since they're all on the same page.
Ke Bailing was completely clueless about this line of work and agreed without much thought.
September immediately received an electronic version of the contract. Tao Rui had a printer at home, so he printed it out, signed it, and had it sent by courier. It only took twenty minutes in total.
Ke Bailing said in disbelief, "So I'm the author? A contracted author for Feiteng? And one of the editors-in-chief?"
"Yeah, what's there to disbelieve?" Tao Rui pulled her up to stretch her legs, poured her some hot water, and said to her, "Feiteng Company is in Yanjing. Express delivery within the city is very fast. The contract will be entered into the system tomorrow, and then you'll have a red stamp in your backend indicating you're a signed author. All the tips will become your income, but you can only withdraw cash once a month. You must remember to withdraw on time in the future."
Ke Bailing nodded dazedly. Tao Rui knew that all this was happening a little too fast for her, and as a new author, she would inevitably have the urge to check the backend or reply to readers. He simply let Ke Bailing go back to the study to look at the computer.
He found his toolbox, opened Ke Bailing's computer and began to repair it. He wasn't very professional, but after all, he had lived several lives and could fix simple things.
But he waited two minutes just for the computer to start up. After it started up, whenever he wanted to open any software, it would just spin in circles and he had to wait for a while before it opened. This made Tao Rui feel as if he had traveled back to many years ago and he was very uncomfortable.
In his previous life, he'd used top-notch hardware. Although he'd been poor in this life, his original owner's computer had been bought when he was richer. The computer desk and chair cost only a hundred thousand yuan, and he could play games at lightning speed without a single lag. Suddenly, this difficult-to-use computer showed up, and he realized how much Ke Bailing's parents disliked her.
In this day and age, who in Yanjing can't afford a laptop if they own a house and a car? A 2,000 yuan netbook is better than this, right?
Tao Rui threw the broken computer aside and ran to the second bedroom to rummage through the drawers.
Since he had no money before, he packed up all the valuable things from the original owner's house in the second bedroom, planning to sell them if he couldn't make any money. Although he would definitely lose money if he sold them second-hand in such a hurry, he could always buy what he wanted later.
But after the live streaming started making money, he forgot about these things and never touched them. He remembered that there was an Alienware laptop in it, which he bought for 30,000 yuan last year. He had only used it a few times, mainly because the original owner bought it to show off when meeting his gay friends in person.
Tao Rui remembered everything he had installed, and he found it out in a short time. He charged the laptop, cleared the data inside, and then installed various software that Ke Bailing often used on her laptop, and reversed all the data.
Ke Bailing came out to drink some water and saw him working on his computer, so he asked, "Can it be fixed? Otherwise, I'll find a repair shop when I get back."
"How old is this computer? Don't use it anymore. Use mine. I've already transferred the data for you. Try it." Tao Rui pulled her to sit next to him and put the notebook on her lap for her to operate.
Ke Bailing was stunned. Even if she didn't know the brand, she could tell it was a high-end computer. She immediately declined, "I can't use yours. I'm already embarrassed to use your profits for the lottery, how can I use your computer? I can just fix mine."
Tao Rui placed one hand on the back of the sofa and turned her face to look at him with the other hand. "Lingling, have you calculated too much with me? Are you still my girlfriend?"
"Yes, but that seems like taking advantage of you."
"Why are you overthinking so much? Your computer isn't working well, and I happen to have one lying around that I barely use in a year. Why not give it to you? Since you're an author, you need to write well. How can you write with your slow computer? Wouldn't this be much more convenient?"
Are you angry because I haven't contacted you for so long? Are you distancing yourself from me?
"No, no." Ke Bailing hugged the computer and said, "I use it, I use it, okay? I can't argue with you, everything you say is right."
Tao Rui then smiled, "I was right."
Being unreasonable can sometimes be very useful.
This almost brand new laptop is very easy to use. After trying it for two minutes, Ke Bailing felt the benefits of a good computer and the experience was great.
Seeing that she couldn't help but open the Feiteng backstage again, Tao Rui smiled and stood up and walked towards the kitchen, "It's time for dinner. What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you."
Ke Bailing looked up at him in surprise, "You can cook? I remember you said before that you like to order takeout."
Tao Rui opened the refrigerator and looked around, then replied, "I used to always eat takeout, which is unhealthy. Lately, I've been focusing on my health and exercising, so I've decided to cook my own meals, which are more nutritious. Are there any dietary restrictions?"
Ke Bailing shook his head and said, "No, I'm not picky about food."
She couldn't be picky about food even if she wanted to, as her parents never gave her the chance to be willful.
Tao Rui brought out some dishes and said with a smile, "Then I'll watch over it. You go to the study and write. It's quiet there."
"Do you want me to help you? I can cook."
"No, today is your first time here, so I'll let you taste your boyfriend's cooking skills."
Ke Bailing smiled and didn't go to the study. Instead, he sat on the sofa and typed. Occasionally, he would look up and see Tao Rui through the glass door of the kitchen. Seeing him cooking in there, he felt quite at ease.
She touched her face. The whole day felt like a dream. Her mother had once seen a novel she had written and said she was not doing her job properly and was writing a bunch of nonsense. Her mother was a high school Chinese teacher, and she had felt that her writing was terrible ever since.
It was Tao Rui who affirmed her novel, appointed her as an author, and signed her as editor-in-chief. She felt really elated that her articles were liked by so many people.
And then there's the computer. Her father's computer, which he had used for four years, was replaced by a new one, and she finally had her own computer. It was slow, but she could finally write novels, homework, and essays in her dorm room. She no longer had to fight for a computer in the school computer room or spend money at an internet cafe. It was much more convenient.
Unexpectedly, Tao Rui gave her such a good computer directly. She secretly checked the model and was shocked to see that it cost 30,000 yuan.
Only then did she suddenly feel that her boyfriend was a great man, even though he had failed in recent years, but... this was probably the case that a starving camel is bigger than a horse.
Ke Bailing was lost in thought, and in the end he didn't know what he was thinking about. He was immersed in typing unconsciously, and the only thing left in his mind was the plot.
Tao Rui prepared four dishes and a soup: two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes, with the soup being chicken. He felt that Ke Bailing was probably also lacking in nutrition, and that she should be given some nutrition whenever she had the chance.
When he was the emperor, he learned cooking from the imperial chef. Ke Bailing was amazed when he took the first bite and said that he had never eaten such delicious food.
Tao Rui took a little of each dish and jokingly said, "You're exaggerating too much. If others hear you, they will definitely think you're fake."
"What's fake? Whoever said that, let him have a taste, and he'll shut up. But it's so delicious, I won't let anyone else eat it." Ke Bailing picked up some food for Tao Rui and said with a smile, "Eat it, you've worked hard today."
"Then just call me 'Brother Rui' and let me hear it. If your girlfriend is considerate, no matter how hard the work is, it won't feel hard at all." Tao Rui moved his shoulders meaningfully and glanced at her.
Ke Bailing laughed and called out "Brother Rui" a little embarrassedly. Then he walked behind him and massaged his shoulders. He lowered his head and asked, "Are you feeling better? Is this massage okay?"
"Okay, it's really different having a girlfriend. I'm usually all alone." Tao Rui closed his eyes and enjoyed it for a minute before pulling her to sit down. "Okay, future great writer, your hands are for writing. If you get tired and sore and delay writing, your readers will definitely send me razor blades. Eat, eat more."
From this day on, Ke Bailing's previous twenty-two years of misfortune seemed to have run out, and he began to become happy.
Her new works are updated step by step. Because the data is really good, there is no need to extend the number of days, so she maintains the frequency of five chapters a day. Just one week later, her works were put on the VIP list.
This also preserved the popularity of this article to a great extent when Tao Rui updated it, because they had only waited for a week in total, and the enthusiasm for this article had not yet died down. Now that there is a sequel, of course they have to follow it.
Although there were some nitpickers, Tao Rui paid no attention to them, and even Ke Bailing was influenced by him, focusing more on meaningful comments and ignoring those who nitpicked. The support and encouragement from most readers inspired Ke Bailing to write every day, and his backlog of manuscripts continued to grow.
Tao Rui also sent her his organized experience and encouraged her to study it carefully. Tao Rui's nightly live study sessions were to organize his experience for her, along with his film analysis, which was of great help to Ke Bailing, a self-taught artist. Ke Bailing suddenly became very busy, but she was much happier than before and was full of energy every day.
Tao Rui is also busy. Besides making money from livestreaming, he's also working on his new article. He enters his mental space twice a day, practicing writing for ten hours each time. Outlines and character creation are simple tasks for him; he's working on his writing style and descriptive idioms.
When he practiced writing, he would often write several paragraphs, and then delete them all if he felt they were a bit nonsense, or he would write a few thousand words, and then delete them all if he felt the plot was off.
The original author often wrote with a lot of fluff, with 10,000 or 20,000 words barely covering a single plot point, leaving it unclear what the story was about. So Tao Rui paid close attention to this aspect, striving to ensure that every event contributed to the plot's development, leaving nothing to waste.
He was not in a hurry. He wrote and deleted, deleted and wrote, writing for twenty hours a day without getting tired. No one had a bigger advantage than him.
By the time Ke Bailing's new article was put on the shelves, Tao Rui had already written the opening 20,000 words of his new article.
The spiritual space is his spiritual realm, which is completely under his control. What he has written will not disappear unless he lets it disappear. He can also look through it at any time, as if it were imprinted deep in his mind.
So after writing 20,000 words, Tao Rui did a live broadcast that evening and did not watch the movie. Instead, he opened the document and started writing biographies of each character.
[Brother Rui, what's this? Are you not going to the movie today? ]
"No more. After studying for so many days, I'm going to try writing a new article. You won't be able to practice if you don't write anything."
Is Brother Rui starting a new novel? Quick, reveal your pen name!
[Brother Rui, how's your girlfriend's author account doing? Didn't you say she started writing a new story a few days ago?]
"Brother Rui, what are you writing? Why are you using code names? Not even a single person's name."
Tao Rui looked at the comments and laughed, "I won't reveal my pen name. I'm not here for publicity anyway, so I've censored what I wrote. When I officially write, I won't livestream these things. You can mention something you want to see, and if I do it, I'll livestream it, like cooking, working out, and so on."
Those who watched his live broadcast at night were the same people who watched it frequently. Although there were not many of them, only a few hundred, Tao Rui treated them like old friends and chatted with them casually while writing.
"My girlfriend's novel is very popular, and it's now on the shelves. I won't reveal her pen name, but I think her novel should appear on the recommended section of the homepage, and will be on the gold list in the future. Friends who like to read novels should be able to see it in the future. It's also fate. Remember not to expose my vest when the time comes, the vest should still be worn properly."
Tao Rui joked and continued writing character biographies. Every protagonist, supporting character, or cannon fodder in a novel needs a character biography—a record of their life and personality traits. This gives each character a more three-dimensional image, allowing you to imagine specifically what they will do when writing, rather than just directly describing the events and having them perform them.
The writing in this way will naturally be much more vivid and exciting, so it is very important to make good preparations in advance.
Tao Rui explained these to everyone just like he was explaining a game, letting everyone know what he was doing and why he was doing it. He also said that if anyone knew someone who wanted to learn how to write novels, they could watch his live broadcast and learn together.
Everything Tao Rui wanted to write had already been written and revised in his mental space, so although he seemed to be writing, he was actually just typing out the clear document in his mind again. Everything went very smoothly from beginning to end, and in the eyes of the audience, it was naturally the result of his studies over the past few days.
[Brother Rui, you must have been a good writer before, right? You look like a very good writer.]
[Yeah, Brother Rui, your character traits are very interesting. I want to read them. Are you writing on Feiteng? I'm going to wait and see. I'll find you sooner or later.]
[Brother Rui, when will you write the main article? Are you almost done with these preparations?]
Tao Rui looked at the time and saw it was only nine o'clock, so he smiled and said, "I was planning to write an update and send it out tonight. Now that everything is done, I won't be live streaming today. Everyone should go to bed early. Early to bed and early to rise is good for your health."
[Ah? Brother Rui, you don't write live? ]
[Silly, if I were to write a live article, wouldn’t I be able to find him by searching for his sentences?]
[What a shame! Could you please livestream your cooking someday? I'm already starving.]
Tao Rui replied, "Sure, I'll do a live cooking show tomorrow. Okay, I'm off now. Good night everyone, see you tomorrow!"
See you tomorrow~
【Good night, see you tomorrow! 】
Tao Rui turned off the live broadcast and opened the typing software, writing all the 20,000 words he had written. He wrote until exactly eleven o'clock.
He divided these into seven chapters and saved them in the author's backend. He directly published one chapter and started a new article. He specially marked the first line of the text: This is a free article for you, please give us more suggestions.
This article is about his life as an emperor. It is a male-oriented novel. There is definitely a market for this kind of novel where a male protagonist fights wits and courage with treacherous ministers and governs the vast country. In addition, his story also has cheat codes and funny moments, so it is not boring at all, and readers will naturally like it.
The number of readers following the great god is not exaggerated. Even if the original owner failed for several years, he still has 160,000 readers following him.
As soon as Tao Rui published a new article, they received a notification. Most of them ignored it, as the previous author had already failed several times, and this time would be no exception. However, readers who liked Ke Bailing's new work clicked in to read it, wasting no more than a few minutes. They immediately fell in love with it and immediately urged for more updates in the comments section.
[Headmaster, please update! Is there a person who does this chapter? ]
[He Zong, your girlfriend publishes five chapters a day, and even after becoming a VIP, she still posts 6,000 chapters a day. What's wrong with you? Learn from others!]
[Oh my god, only one chapter? I'm out of my mind, why am I reading this! Core Duo, please come out and update!]
[Hmm...it's quite nice. Was this written by Lark? It's not quite her style, but hasn't Core Duo run out of ideas? Can he write something like this?]
Someone even went to Ke Bailing's post and asked, "Lark, your boyfriend has started a new post! Tell the truth, did you write it?"
[Why did your boyfriend only post one chapter? So, when will he finish the 500,000 words he mentioned?]
[Do you have his manuscripts saved? They're free anyway, and they won't be uploaded, so just ask him to post them all.]
Ke Bailing was very interested in the author's backstage, and she would open it every day when she had nothing to do. Soon she saw these comments. She was a little confused, so she went to Tao Rui's column and took a look. She found that there was indeed a new article.
She immediately opened the new article and read it. Like everyone else, she wanted to read the rest.
She loves reading novels very much. Although she rarely reads male-oriented novels, this one written by Tao Rui is inexplicably very good. It is not inappropriate to say that it is one of those female-oriented novels with high-quality male protagonists. It is very comfortable to read.
She picked up her phone and ran to the dormitory balcony to make a call.
"Brother Rui, Brother Rui, have you started a new story? Why is there only one chapter?"
Tao Rui smiled and said, "You want to read the rest? I'll send it to you, but there are only seven chapters for now. The rest hasn't been written yet."
"Ah? You published such a small amount?" Ke Bailing had a lot of manuscripts saved, and when he found out that Tao Rui only had a few chapters, he suddenly felt anxious.
Tao Rui has already figured out the tricks of writing online articles, so typing is not that difficult for him. What's more, he has a mental space where he can write and then enter the text into the computer. He can type 20,000 words in an hour, so he is not worried about interrupting the update.
He said to Ke Bailing, "I've already saved enough. If I can post one chapter a day for a week, I'll definitely have finished writing the rest of the week by then. If I'm lucky and write more, it won't be too late to post more."
"Oh, then send me the rest. I really want to see it."
"No problem, don't stay up late, go to bed early."
Tao Rui sent the finished manuscript directly to Ke Bailing. There were a lot of comments asking for more, so he explained: "I've been learning to write online lately, looking for a breakthrough, so I'm writing a little slower so that it can be a little better. Don't worry, I'll add more when I have more manuscripts in stock."
An old reader immediately left a comment: [Don't worry, don't worry, Mr. He, take your time. As long as it's good, I can wait. Please don't write those watery articles like before. That's not just flooding the page, it's a reservoir!]
[Hahaha, the reservoir has a picture! I support its meticulous craftsmanship. Last time, the Nuclear General surprised me, but it turned out to be written by his girlfriend. This time, his girlfriend has clarified. It seems that the Nuclear General has really made a breakthrough. Come on, come on!]
Tao Rui was just about to turn off the computer to practice when he saw the penguin avatar jumping non-stop. He opened it and saw that it was the original owner's bad friend, whose pen name was Ji Shi Yu.
I somehow found out that he had started a new article, so I came to congratulate him.
[Ji Shi Yu: Mr. He, you're amazing! Where did you find such a good writer? Please introduce him to me. Don't worry, I won't steal your business. I'll hire him after he finishes writing for you. It won't delay you.]
[Core Duo: I don't have a ghostwriter. This is a free article, why would I need a ghostwriter? Besides, I don't like ghostwriters.]
[Ji Shi Yu: Hahahaha, Mr. He, you're being so boring. I was the one who gave you advice when you were in trouble. Now you're hiding the good stuff. How mean.]
[Timely Rain: Is that lark really your girlfriend? You're so unlucky! She even found out about your use of her manuscript. If she hadn't reposted it, would you be awesome again now? In my opinion, isn't this just something you can do to appease her?]
[Core Duo: You're overthinking things. Her writing is always hers, and I definitely write mine myself. I don't need anyone else to write mine.]
This made Ji Shi Yu uncomfortable, because he'd always been a poor writer and always hired ghostwriters. He felt like Tao Rui was mocking him, and he immediately taunted back, "You're denying this? Wasn't it me who introduced you to those two ghostwriters? Why are you pretending to be like that? Don't you consider me a friend?"
[Core Duo: I think it's a bit boring for you to put the blame on me. What do you have to do? It's late, I'm logging off.]
Ji Shiyu sent a few more messages but received no reply. He frowned and looked at Tao Rui's new post, sneering, "Did he write this? Is he kidding? If it's true, I'll tear my head off and kick it in his ass!"
Ji Shi Yu was a stingy person to begin with. He was extremely dissatisfied with Tao Rui's attitude and directly used his secondary account to give Tao Rui's article a negative rating: [This was written by Core Duo himself? Does anyone believe it? I can't be the only one who knows that he's a complete idiot and has no talent, right? I'm afraid he hired a ghostwriter. If he can't get his girlfriend's work, he'll just use the ghostwriter's work.]
