Han Ling frowned upon seeing the friend request.
How did this person bypass the blocking system and get the message delivered to him?
Two days ago, too many female insects messaged him privately asking for the location of a small hotel, so he had already turned off message notifications and blocked all private messages.
But this person was able to bypass the StarNet blocking and send him a pop-up message directly.
why is that?
Han Ling couldn't help but ask the system, but the system replied:
[I am the "Safeguard Your Safety" system, not a programming system. This system knows absolutely nothing about StarNet security.]
Upon hearing this, Han Ling rolled her eyes in exasperation.
After a moment's thought, he added Flo Literature Publishing House.
Before the other person could speak, Han Ling asked the first question.
Swallowing the Wind and Kissing the Rain: [How did you manage to bypass the StarNet security system and send me a private message?]
Flo Literature Publishing House: [Don't be nervous, I'm here to discuss cooperation. Why do you look so alarmed? As for how I managed to get a private message pop-up, there are too many ways, you wouldn't understand even if I explained.]
Swallowing the Wind and Kissing the Rain: [Then we have nothing to talk about.]
Flo Literature Publishing House: [Haha, that's quite unique. I can only tell you that the three main interstellar brains are products of a thousand years ago. But technological development is changing rapidly. Do you understand what I mean? For any technology company, crossing the brain barrier is not a problem.]
Upon hearing this news, Han Ling clenched his fists. What? Is StarNet really that unreliable?
He had always believed that his personal information was secure and sacred.
But unexpectedly, the StarNet was infiltrated like a sieve.
How can such a network protect his security?
Can he really keep his male status? He doesn't want to be captured and used as a breeding pig!
Han Ling inquired about the system.
"System, system, can you protect my IP address now? Can you use a fake IP address to cover me up?"
The system paused for two seconds, then said:
[Sorry, this system is for your safety and cannot help you hide your real address. However, this system can operate according to rules and regulations, such as allowing you to apply to establish a game company.]
Han Ling covered his face with his hands, somewhat unable to believe that this system was really so useless!
Han Ling pressed his temples and looked back at the chat box on his personal terminal.
He started typing.
Swallowing the Wind and Kissing the Rain: [What do you need me for?]
Flo Literature Society: [Yes, our editor-in-chief read your novel and thinks you have great potential, so we'd like to sign you as a professional novelist.]
Signed a contract with a literary publishing house?
Han Ling was somewhat puzzled.
His books are already charging fees, so why does he need a publisher? What the heck is this?
This is equivalent to someone handing him a pair of chopsticks after he has finished eating and telling him: "Come and pick up some food."
His online earnings have been enough to make him incredibly wealthy.
If he signs another contract, wouldn't that just mean there's another person to share his money?
Swallowing the Wind and Kissing the Rain: [No need. My book is already being sold for a fee, and it's doing quite well. I don't need a publisher right now.]
Flo Literature Society: [Please don't worry. We've reviewed your book, and because it involves the male insect, it's at risk of being banned. However, if you cooperate with us, we can guarantee the safety of your book.]
Han Ling scoffed at these words.
It's really the same old tricks of scammers.
His novel's readers have reported it thousands of times, yet his book remains available. This proves that his book is legal.
Swallowing the Wind and Kissing the Rain: [No need. If it really violates the rules, then let my book be banned. I accept that outcome.]
Flo Literature Club: [Really? You're the first sub-female to reject Flo Literature Club. Han Ling, a sub-female residing at the Happiness Hotel on Garbage Planet C1672. Not only are your books questionable, but your personal identity is entirely new. Perhaps you don't know, Garbage Planet isn't the bottom of the road; Prison Planet is.]
Seeing his name appear on the personal terminal, Han Ling felt a bead of cold sweat trickle down his forehead.
His identity was discovered so quickly?
Your personal information has been exposed?
Was it exposed by a publishing house?
That was incredibly fast! It caught him completely off guard!
Han Ling hadn't figured out how to respond when she saw the other side send a new message.
Flo Literature Society: [Hand over this book to us. If you agree, I'll send you a contract.]
Han Ling chuckled softly.
He becomes increasingly calm, especially in crucial moments. Panic? Absolutely not.
He's new here; his parents and relatives aren't here. Even if they wanted to threaten him, what could they possibly use?
Personal safety?
The other side only found out that he was a sub-female, but never suspected that he was a male.
For a male insect, the worst outcome is simply losing his freedom and being ridden by countless females. What's so scary about that?
Freedom may be precious, but it is worthless in the face of life.
Moreover, he also has the "Guard Your Safety" system, although the system is very weak, it should still be somewhat useful.
After analyzing the pros and cons, Han Ling rubbed his chin and began searching the StarNet for books related to the Flo Literature Society.
"The Weaknesses of the Zerg," "Detailed Explanation of Combat Techniques," "The Complete Guide to Zerg Armor"...
You won't believe it until you look it up, and what you find will shock you.
The Flo Literature Society is actually the largest publisher among the Zerg in StarCraft, and all kinds of books it publishes are highly ranked on the bestseller lists.
A thug isn't scary; what's scary is a thug with education.
Having become a leading enterprise, isn't the Flo Literature Society afraid of being embroiled in scandals with its baffling actions?
However, since it is a large company, it should still have basic guarantees.
Han Ling asked cautiously:
"If I sign with you, what kind of benefits and promotional opportunities will you offer? How much will the signing fee be?"
Flo Literature Club: [The signing fee is 50,000 credits. Benefits are confidential; you will only know the specific details after signing.]
Han Ling pondered for a moment after hearing this.
This novel is now his sole source of income.
A month later, the cancer in his body will flare up, and the system will need energy stones to heal the cancer.
He needs to acquire as many credits as possible in a short period of time; 50,000 is far from enough.
If he hands over the novel now and gets scammed, he might have to start all over again, which would take a long time.
Moreover, the fact that the Flo Literary Society kept things secret and didn't mention any benefits made him feel uneasy.
After careful consideration, Han Ling said:
"Sorry, I refuse. I will not sign the contract unless you show sincerity."
After saying that, he closed the chat window, turned on the do-not-disturb mode, and prepared to continue updating the next chapter of the novel.
Making money to save lives is the most important thing.

The innocent landlord meets the tenant.
Chapter Four
As they were about to part, pink tear stains still lingered in the corners of Lin Muyang's eyes.
He stood up, his legs weak, and took the blue-black uniform of the First Exploration Legion.
Then, only the rustling sound of dressing could be heard in the room.
