"System, I want to increase my stamina. Can I buy that too?"
Now that he thought about it, it had been over half a month since the last point was given for free in the newbie pack.
System: "One point of stamina costs 200,000 yen."
"That cheap? Alright!"
200,000 yen was about 12,000 yuan.
For Luo Ren now, spending 200,000 yen to buy half a month of comfort was a worthwhile deal.
Points deducted.
Luo Ren felt a wave of comfort wash over his whole body.
In an instant, his body, which had been depleted from trying to satisfy his girlfriend these past few days, was completely restored.
"Uhn-hunh~"
Currently, his typing speed had reached an advanced level, clocking in at ten thousand characters per hour.
At this rate, he could finish writing a volume in just ten to twelve hours a week.
His efficiency had increased dramatically.
If it were the weekend,
Luo Ren could even finish writing a volume in a single day!
This meant he now had a lot more free time.
Luo Ren was naturally very happy!
A few days later.
The Lin Chuan Library's promotion was in place, and the publisher had also printed a large number of books.
Blessing This Wonderful World, Volume 1 was reprinted, and Volume 2 was released!
It immediately became a bestseller!
"Hahaha! Teacher Huo Yue Luoluo's writing is still so funny!"
"I feel better after reading it."
"Volume 3! I'm definitely buying it when Volume 3 comes out!"
"This update speed, I love it. Fire Moon Luo Luo, my Superman~"
Light novels are different from web novels.
Web novels are updated daily, while light novels are released in volumes of over 100,000 characters.
In Japan, a light novel volume has 100,000 characters, plus illustrations. Including the operational aspects, the fastest release time is three months per volume.
Readers accept this.
And some light novel authors, after taking off, earn royalties that are easy to get. Once they're not short on money, they like to slack off.
But those amazing authors, their status is itself superior to the editor in charge.
How fast could you urge them to update, anyway?
This led to half a year passing, then nine months...
A whole year went by! And not even a single volume was updated!
Those especially devoted fans were truly driven to the point of madness, wishing they could go to the author's house and force them to write.
"Sending a knife" – such an extreme way to urge for updates – actually exists in Japan...
Now, with Blessing This Wonderful World releasing two volumes a month, the fans were very satisfied.
They expressed their feelings on the library website: "I'll definitely buy the third volume! I'll buy the merchandise too! And I'll definitely buy the doujinshi!!"
Even a big shot in the doujinshi world said: "Thank you, Huoyue Luoluo, for contributing such a wonderful work. I'm already drawing! The female lead is Huihui, I love flat-chested girls!"
And these…
Luo Ren didn't really pay much attention to them.
Even though he was the author, he didn't get too invested.
He still went to school and came home as usual, and went on dates with his childhood friend and girlfriend.
Whether it sold well or not didn't have much of an impact.
Light novel authors made money because of royalties.
Unless the library decided to reprint, Luo Ren wouldn't get any more money.
"Volume Two..."
Night.
The coffee steamed.
Kasumigaoka Utaha's face looked a little tired. She'd been having a hard time writing the plot for the third volume recently.
She had to go to school and do homework, so sometimes she could only write a few hundred characters in a whole day.
Writer's block made her want to throw things.
Kasumigaoka Utaha sighed and picked up the second volume of Blessing This Wonderful World.
"It should be a manuscript... So confident. Did she believe her first volume would be appreciated from the start?"
She opened the first page and became engrossed in the read.
As she read.
Humorous and witty words infected her heart, dispelling the pressure.
It was like a gentle breeze caressing her face.
It made her involuntarily smile.
"Ah~"
After finishing, Kasumigaoka Utaha yawned.
She wanted to sleep.
Closing the second volume of the book and washing up as usual, she finally lay in bed.
"Did I really write two volumes so easily…"
Kasumigaoka Utaha lay in bed, but suddenly couldn't sleep, thinking about some things.
"I…"
"Sigh, don't think about these things. I'll just write my own well."
"Teacher Huo Yue Luoluo should have some manuscripts saved up. Hmm."
After telling herself about "manuscripts" again, Kasumigaoka Utaha closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
But actually…
The hint of unwillingness, envy, and yearning hidden within the young girl's heart had already transformed into a seed, taking root and sprouting.
In the blink of an eye.
More than ten days passed.
On this day.
Suzukawa Reina called Luo Ren, saying that they would be reprinting again.
This time, both the first and second volumes would be reprinted with 50,000 copies each.
This alone brought in a royalty of a full 30 million yen!
After Luo Ren thanked her as usual, he didn't hang up the phone.
"Um... Suzukawa Reina-san. I've finished writing the third volume."
Under the ultimate slacking state of only writing for an hour a day, Luo Ren had still managed to write the third volume of Blessing This Wonderful World in just over ten days!
On the other end, Suzukawa Reina was stunned.
"Really?"
"Really."
Seriously?
He really finished a volume a week?
Chapter 8: I'm Coming Clean, Actually
Fujinomiya Ningzi lay in bed, not wearing any underwear.
This was her personal habit.
You could say it was a bad habit.
"Teacher Huo Yue Luoluo is really diligent..." Ningzi thought, a slight smile on her face.
And after reading the second volume, and experiencing that joy, Fujinomiya Ningzi couldn't help but think.
Did her first love really have to be so casual?
Although she had once been involved with a little chubby boy when she was little, that was a long time ago.
Originally, Ningzi planned to devote everything, to give it her all, to experience a romance.
Even if it meant giving her first kiss, even if it was her first time, she wouldn't hesitate.
Because she didn't have much time left.
