Li Changle had been at home for half the day, doing nothing but eating. His mother had bought him a bunch of snacks and fruits early in the morning, all of which he liked. He felt a little full, and if he ate any more, he might not have dinner.
I was bored, so I just turned on my computer at home and started typing.
Having not touched the guitar for a few days, Li Changle's fingers had almost recovered, and he was back to his old self, typing furiously according to the outline in his mind. In one afternoon, he had nearly 20,000 words.
Li Changle nodded with satisfaction. Today's update will be 10,000 words!
A 10,000-word chapter was uploaded directly to the backstage. Many subscribed readers immediately felt tears streaming down their faces, moved beyond words. This Li Xiaoyao finally knew to add more chapters.
The comment section is as lively as during the Chinese New Year.
"Holy crap, 10,000 words! Has this bastard author finally heard our voices?"
“Please keep updating…”
"I'm actually excited about the update of a novel!"
"I like Ling'er so much. Please, Li Xiaoyao and Ling'er must be together..."
"Me too!"
"Me too!"
…
The comments section gradually went off track, becoming somewhat frivolous. Li Changle didn't look at it; he was currently helping Lu Chengying in the kitchen.
There was a sound of the door opening outside, and Li Changle's father Li Zhenning came back.
"Dad, I'm off work now, let's get ready for dinner..."
Li Changle came out and said hello. Then he said to Li Zhenning with a smile.
Li Zhenning was naturally happy to see Li Changle back, but since things weren't going well at work, he forced a smile.
"Dad, what's wrong? Is there any problem at the factory?"
Li Changle noticed that his father's smile was a bit forced. Li Changle knew the factory where Li Zhenning worked. The performance had not been very good in the past two years, and the staff had been reduced.
"Oh, the factory is going to lay off employees again. The workload is already heavy, and now they're going to lay off employees again. Then there's no way we can meet the production targets. We can only ask everyone to work overtime. Isn't this just asking employees to work overtime in disguise..."
She kept complaining about the stupid decisions made by the factory leaders, but seemed to feel that Li Changle had finally returned home and she couldn't instill too much negative energy in him.
"Hey, let's not talk about this anymore. How about it? Your mom told me that you found a job."
Li Zhenning simply shifted the topic to Li Changle.
"I guess so. It should be no problem to support myself."
Li Changle touched his nose awkwardly. Strictly speaking, he was a flexible employee.
If the book is a success, it will take off immediately. If it keeps failing, I probably won’t be able to afford food. But now I have a rich woman named Wang Siyi to support me and provide me with food and shelter.
Thinking of Wang Siyi, I don't know how she is doing. It has been more than a week and I haven't seen any news from her. I haven't contacted her either, mainly because I have no topics to talk about...
However, my father's work is not going well. If he has to work overtime at the factory, it will be very tiring.
Li Changle thought that he had to make money quickly to at least share the burden of the family. He had been spending his parents' money for a while, which was a bit inappropriate.
Judging from the current momentum of The Legend of Sword and Fairy 1, which I wrote, it is unlikely to fail. Looking back at the data, I see how many words are left before it can be put on the shelves. I have to hurry up and make money.
Many thoughts flashed through Li Changle's mind. It seemed like he was quite short of money right now. He needed to look around for ways to make quick money, otherwise writing novels would be a bit slow to generate income...
Li Changle is not worried about not being able to make money. There are so many things in his mind. It just depends on whether he wants to and is willing to do them.
The biggest problem now is the connection, but there is no rush. I can just learn more about it online later.
During dinner, Lu Chengying asked about Li Changle's love life as expected.
"Ah Le, it's been a few months since you graduated. Have you met any girls you like? If so, remember to bring them back for mom to see... You're not a kid anymore. When we were your age, you were already one year old... You better hurry up."
Li Changle looked embarrassed and quickly said no. He now stayed at home all day and had almost no conditions to communicate with the opposite sex, so where would he get a girlfriend from?
But he can't tell this to his parents. He can't let them know that he is writing a novel for the time being. He will tell them after he makes some money.
The older generation all thinks that finding a stable job is the most reassuring thing. If they knew that he doesn't have a job now, they would be very worried. Li Changle would probably be nagged again.
I thought that the only person of the opposite sex I had come into contact with in the past few months was probably Wang Siyi, but after she left last time, I probably wouldn't have the chance to see her again.
After all, she went to record songs, and after that she had to prepare for the release of a new album. If the new album sold well, she would probably become even more famous, and she would not come to live in Guangzhou anymore...
Weird, why do I keep thinking about her today? Li Changle shook her head, shook off these thoughts, and concentrated on drinking chicken soup.
I will work hard on writing after I return to Guangzhou tomorrow, and also see if there are any ways to make money.
With his family in such a difficult situation, he had no reason to lie down. It turned out that people are lazy, and diligence is forced out by life.
The next day at noon, Li Changle went out to the high-speed rail station carrying bags of local specialties. He looked hopeless and his bags were full of various pickles, bacon and other local specialties that Lu Chengying brought from the countryside.
Li Changle had no way to refuse and could only bear it silently. He thought that when he had money, he must buy a car first so that it would be convenient for him to go home. The most important thing was that it was a bit uncomfortable to take the high-speed rail with so many things on his body.
Ruyi saw that the number of words in the background of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" finally met the conditions for listing, and quickly arranged to put the book on the shelves.
