But!
If soone you know suddenly gets rich, it’s hard to swallow.
The petty side of human nature is hating people for having nothing and resenting them for having everything. You’re afraid your brother will suffer, but also afraid he’ll drive a Land Rover.
"Really! Would I lie to you, brother? Why don’t you open the fan rankings of this book, check the bottom left corner, see if there are eight Golden Alliances? One Golden Alliance is a hundred thousand, eight ans eight hundred thousand, the website will take half, which ans this author, Mr. Xu, when he gets his manuscript fee next month, will get four hundred thousand just from these eight Golden Alliances! Even with taxes, it’s still more than thirty thousand, right?"
Liu Longsheng opened it and indeed saw eight so-called Golden Alliances.
Four hundred thousand take-ho?
That’s an e300, isn’t it?
Liu Longsheng was shocked, feeling crispy on the outside and tender inside, never imagining that Xu Lin’s book would be so exaggerated!
So, from now on, he can earn a million through writing novels monthly? Over ten million annually?
Liu Longsheng couldn’t accept it for a mont.
"Liu Longsheng, why are you suddenly asking about this book? Are you reading online literature too?"
"Haha, I rember you used not to read web novels at all."
His roommate was still talking.
But Liu Longsheng no longer wanted to talk; how could he admit that this book was written by his roommate?
At this ti, he opened a certain AI.
Asked: "Is ’My 26-year-old Miss Maybach’ really popular?"
The response ca quickly: "Hello, yes, regarding your query, we analyzed through the following data... overall, this book will beco a phenonal work in online literature!"
"Damn!"
Liu Longsheng was really breaking down, feeling like even AI betrayed him.
"I just don’t believe it, can this book really be written so intensely?"
Still unable to fully accept the facts, Liu Longsheng finally opened Xu Lin’s book, approaching it with a disdainful critical spirit.
However, the mont Liu Longsheng opened it, he was imdiately drawn in by the beginning, and as he reached more than halfway through, he could no longer pull himself away.
"Damn!"
"What kind of garbage writing is this?"
Despite feeling indignant, deep down Liu Longsheng thought the book was well written.
"Trash!"
"Truly fucking garbage!"
"Damn!"
"How is there no more?"
In over half an hour, Liu Longsheng finished reading, feeling unfulfilled yet completely broken at the sa ti.
He even sank into deep remorse and guilt, unable to extricate himself.
Liu Longsheng felt he shouldn’t have opened this book, like when he used to learn traditional skills from movies in junior high, feeling guilty while deleting videos and websites, but a few days later, couldn’t resist searching again, leading to continuous regret, deleting, regretting... a never-ending cycle.
Now, even though he’s clearly mad at Xu Lin, he finds himself addicted to Xu Lin’s work.
I’m screwed!
Liu Longsheng went straight into breakdown mode.
He then went to the bathroom, running cold water for half an hour, trying to use the cold to cleanse his spirit and soul.
But Liu Longsheng still felt his spirit and soul couldn’t be cleansed, and the cold water wasn’t cold enough!
One should know, in such a hot weather, bathing with cold water is quite refreshing.
Just as he left the bathroom, returned to his seat, and opened his phone, Liu Longsheng saw an update notification for Xu Lin’s book.
It turned out Xu Lin updated four Chapters a dozen minutes ago.
Ten thousand words!
After so intense ntal struggle, Liu Longsheng ultimately couldn’t stop himself from opening the book again.
After reading, Liu Longsheng fell into another bout of lancholy.
Tonight, Liu Longsheng felt as if he’d been betrayed, even stopped singing.
Hu Donghai, who was watching an anti-Japanese movie, found it strange because the dorm beds were arranged with Xu Lin and Xie Zhengrong near the bathroom and Liu Longsheng and Hu Donghai near the door, so usually when Liu Longsheng sang, it was right behind Hu Donghai, and now the songs stopped for so long, making Hu Donghai feel a bit uneasy.
"Liu, why aren’t you singing?"
At this ti, Liu Longsheng was lying on the bed, motionless, not even fiddling with his phone.
"I’m going to sleep first."
Liu Longsheng replied feebly, lying there like a corpse.
"Oh, okay."
Hu Donghai didn’t think much and continued watching his war movie.
Xu Lin also didn’t know about Liu Longsheng’s situation. He went to shower right after finishing his writing.
Tonight, he rested before twelve o’clock.
Worth ntioning, now the novel task has refreshed with new progress.
[Task: My Agreent with Miss Maybach.]
[Progress: Novel released (completed), novel signed (completed), show off in public (completed), push flow takeoff (completed), invisible showing off (completed)]
"What does invisible showing off an?"
Xu Lin didn’t understand this progress for a mont, as it appeared just now, but without details on his side, he couldn’t make sense of it.
A night of silence, and ti quickly moved to the next day.
Today is September 29th, with the National Day two days away.
So, after class tomorrow afternoon, it’ll be holiday ti.
Xu Lin checked the holiday notice; National Day and Mid-Autumn are linked together.
Still a seven-day holiday.
Xu Lin felt pretty good since when he was in Grade 12, the National Day was only two and a half days long and just half a day for Mid-Autumn.
Seven days is quite a long holiday.
Also, on the 29th, both Lei Haolong and Yu Xinyan ssaged him.
Yu Xinyan: "Xu Lin, have you bought tickets ho?"
Lei Haolong: "Xu Lin, did you get your tickets for National Day?"
Xu Lin replied one by one, saying he hadn’t.
Yu Xinyan imdiately said: "Then I’ll buy the tickets for you! Haha!"
Xu Lin: "Ok."
Yu Xinyan: "Tickets for the morning of the 1st!"
Xu Lin: "Then the 1st it is!"
Yu Xinyan knew Xu Lin’s ID number by heart, and within a few minutes, she bought the tickets, two seats, Xu Lin was on 13F, Yu Xinyan on 13D, Xu Lin’s was by the window, which is the best spot, so Yu Xinyan left the best seat for Xu Lin.
Then Yu Xinyan sent a screenshot saying: "Tickets bought! We’ll go ho together then!"
Xu Lin: "Lei Haolong will be there too!"
Yu Xinyan: "Alright."
Lei Haolong also wanted to be on the sa train as Xu Lin, so after asking about Xu Lin’s train, he bought a ticket for the sa train, although in a different car.
Lei Haolong: "Got it!"
Xu Lin: "Ok!"
Lei Haolong also said: "Xu Lin, my parents said you should co over to our place!"
Xu Lin: "Alright!"
Xu Lin: "Should I bring mooncakes?"
Lei Haolong: "Mooncakes? What’s that? It’s not Mid-Autumn yet!"
Xu Lin: "Mid-Autumn is on the 6th, can’t show up empty-handed, can I?"
