After glancing at the time on his phone, Wang Yueheng sped up and spoke in one breath.

"Well……"

"Teacher Yue Heng, I feel like these creative ideas might have already taken shape in your mind a long time ago?"

"Even if I didn't write it, would you still create it yourself?"

Upon hearing Wang Yueheng's brilliant idea again, Liu Xin was completely stunned.

He always felt that the other party had already outlined the entire book in advance.

It's just that I happened to have thought of a few of the elements!

Liu Xin, who was initially excited about her brilliant idea, suddenly felt crushed by Wang Yueheng's "dimensional reduction attack" thinking.

He was afraid that Wang Yueheng might suddenly say, "Actually, I've already written it; it's just waiting to be published."

"I have had those thoughts, but I've been too busy with other work to think about them right now."

"I consider myself a science fiction fan, and I've read Liu Xin's works as well."

"Since we share the same ideas and our creative ideas collide, I think it would be a good idea for you to complete the writing of this book."

"Just add my co-authorship name when the new book is published."

"As for royalties and other income, if Ms. Liu Xin is willing, she can give our charity foundation some support at that time."

"I will have my assistant stamp the authorization letter and send it to you directly later."

Even over the phone, Wang Yueheng could tell from the other person's tone that this well-known science fiction writer was also a loyal fan of his.

Since the other party is inspired by your "faith value" and their creative inspiration is flowing freely, why not simply commission them to create the work?

You can gain popularity by jointly writing a petition to criticize yourself, just like you would with a pen name, and you save yourself the trouble of creating something new.

Wang Yueheng simply handed over the task of writing the new book to the other party.

This is why he readily shared all his ideas about the new book with the other party.

"Okay, okay, no problem!"

"I will definitely list you as the number one creator when the time comes!"

Upon hearing that Wang Yueheng didn't want copyright fees, but only a simple right of attribution, Liu Xin was stunned once again.

He originally thought the other party would direct him to an agency, sign a formal copyright licensing agreement, and demand at least half of the royalties.

I never expected it would be such a simple request as asking for my name and a charitable donation...

If a publishing editor heard this request, they would probably jump out of their chair with joy!

This is hardly a requirement.

This was an absolutely incredible surprise from Wang Yueheng!

If a book's author is only Liu Xin, then the book's sales might be one million copies, and at most, it might be reprinted to three or four million copies.

After all, science fiction has always been a niche genre in China.

But if Wang Yueheng's name appears in the author's column.

Then sales could soar to at least tens of millions of copies!

According to Liu Xin's understanding.

"Joy of Life" has already sold over 10 million copies nationwide in just a short period of time!

This is even with the availability of free online reading materials.

If it were a book co-authored by myself and Wang Yueheng...

Liu Xin herself couldn't imagine how many times the publisher would reprint it...
