Jin Yong's promise can be regarded as a ladder to heaven for any writer.
But only Lin Huowangjun...will not waver.
Because... what Lin Huowang is seeking is not just fame and royalties, and even Master Jin Yong may not be able to see the whole picture of his chessboard.
Master Jin Yong's recognition of "A Step into the Past" and Huang Yi has proved to the world that the value of "A Step into the Past" far exceeds everyone's initial expectations!
Mr. Lin Huowang, the book you wrote is becoming the center of the storm... Interesting.
He even took the time to tease Master Jin Yong.
I just don’t know what Lin Huowang himself feels about this sudden heat wave and the praise in Master Jin Yong’s article?
However, Keiko Kobayashi does not have the time to keep an eye on the developments in Hong Kong Island.
Because more cooperation regarding "Dragon Jump" and matters related to Dragon Plaza required her to make judgments and decisions on behalf of Lin Huowang regarding the entire Japanese industry.
Keiko Kobayashi picked up the intercom, her voice as calm as ever: "Prepare the car and go to Central Industrial Co., Ltd. Please help me make an appointment with my father at noon today..."
The construction progress at Dragon Plaza was very fast, and the design drawings had already come out. However, regarding some parts of the linkage with the "Dragon Jump" comics, Lin Tongchun was unsure, so he specifically asked his daughter Kobayashi Keiko to find time to come over as soon as possible to finalize the main design drafts so that mass construction could begin.

On Hong Kong Island, Hop Hing Industrial Building in Yuen Long is currently the main printing point for Dragon Jump and Asia Daily.
The huge printing press roared, and the snow-white paper turned into a stream of information carrying pictures and texts that rolled out.
The air was filled with the pungent smell of ink.
In the innermost corner where the light was slightly dim, Lin Huowang was buried in his work in front of a simple desk with a cup of tea that had long gone cold at his side.
He was wearing a work suit stained with oil, and at first glance he looked no different from a busy printing worker.
After a short rest in the morning, Lin Huowang personally came to the printing workshops, inspected the printing work and conditions, and asked people to take pictures of him being "close to the people", "doing everything himself", and "working with the workers on the front line". At the same time, he took time to finish some manuscripts of "A Step into the Past".
After all, the idea of "A Step into the Past" came to him after he started the "Asia Daily". Naturally, he didn't have any drafts saved, and everything was written and published immediately.
After the daily high-intensity mental activities, he still has to rely on memory to "write" "A Journey to the West", which is not an easy task for Lin Huowang.
Gao Qiaohao walked over quickly and gently placed the copy of Ming Pao next to the open manuscript in front of him.
Lin Huowang did not look up immediately, and only stopped writing after he finished writing the paragraph.
He looked at Jin Yong's column with an unusually calm gaze, as if he was reading an ordinary industry news.
No anger, no surprise, not even a ripple.
He just said "hmm" softly.
"Boss, I've already had an extra 100,000 copies of the Asia Daily printed. Today's print run is still 300,000. Also, I took the liberty of printing an extra 50,000 copies of... Ming Pao, specifically to be randomly distributed to Hong Kong Island residents."
Gao Qiaohao asked tentatively.
"Yeah. Sure."
Lin Huowang uttered a short syllable again.
"Then... Mr. Jin Yong... does Mr. Huang Yi need a response? Or should we..."
Lin Huowang finally looked up after hearing this. He pointed to a thick stack of manuscripts on the desk. There were only two powerful characters on the cover - "A Step into the Past".
"Tomorrow, at the end of the third and fourth chapters, you will publish your reply to Mr. Cha under the name of Xiaolin Tianwang..."
Lin Huowang's voice was steady, with the raspy texture unique to ink workshops. "Just say, if you want to poach Huang Yi, you can give him 10% of Ming Pao's shares..."
