CH 81

Speaking of it, Qiu Wuji really seems eager to learn how to write books. Chu Ge originally wanted to say that she could make a lot of money selling her calligraphy and paintings, but he decided not to mention it.

Everyone has their own aspirations. It’s obvious that Qiu Wuji wants to study “creation” rather than simply aiming to make money or learning writing purely for the sake of it.

Otherwise, considering her current level of understanding of the world and ways to earn money, she already has plenty of options.

If she really wants to write a book, she doesn’t need to learn how to craft stories. She can simply narrate the martial arts experiences she had in the past as an autobiography or share interesting anecdotes she knows about others. Even without much writing technique, it would probably be quite interesting. Plus, she could even make it a prequel or a side story to “Chu Tian Wuji.” That would be great.

However, that would still just be completing the stories of that world. It’s clear that Qiu Wuji’s ambition lies in creating her own world, not just supplementing someone else’s.

Unfortunately, Chu Ge felt that it might be difficult for Qiu Wuji with her mindset to come up with her own stories.

She’s just not the type to craft stories!

Still, Chu Ge was willing to help her. After thinking about it, he knew how to write, but his teaching skills might be lacking a bit. He had never been a teacher before, unlike Qiu Wuji, who is used to guiding others and is well-versed in training. It seems he’ll have to find some teaching materials for her.

Zhang Qiren had collected a lot of materials before, but Chu Ge never looked at them. He always believed that this kind of thing couldn’t be taught by others… but considering Zhang Qiren’s progress back then, they might be useful. Should he ask Zhang Qiren for a set of materials to take a look at? He wasn’t sure if Zhang Qiren had deleted them or not.

He tried contacting Zhang Qiren, but there was no response. He was probably busy and not online.

Lost in thought, Chu Ge joined the “Writing Guidance Group” and sought advice from the experts in the group.

“Writing a book?” The experts replied, “Isn’t it just a matter of having the skill?”

Chu Ge nodded, “Hmm, hmm.”

“Just start writing, thinking too much won’t help.”

Chu Ge nodded again, “Hmm, hmm, hmm.”

“Writing a book is actually inversely correlated with looks. Someone as handsome as me finds it a bit challenging. Sigh, it’s not something you can force. What’s the use of learning…”

The group became animated, “No wonder, I lost average subscribers yesterday. It turns out it’s because I became more handsome.”

“No wonder I can’t reach Platinum this year. It’s because my looks are holding me back.”

Chu Ge said, “Thank you, everyone, for acknowledging that I’m the most handsome in the group.”

The group fell silent for a moment, and then someone posted a screenshot, “Hey, Mr. Ten Thousand Subscriptions, what are you talking about? There are quite a few people in the group who haven’t reached that level yet, and you definitely belong to the ‘less attractive’ group.”

Chu Ge rubbed his eyes. It was the Ten Thousand Subscriptions badge, and the screenshot showed the title of the book as “Chu Tian Wuji.”

Ten Thousand Subscriptions? When did that happen?

“You don’t know?” someone exclaimed in surprise. “You’re unbelievable. You have to be told about your own achievements. What have you been doing all this time? By the way, you came here asking about writing instruction. Are you trying to flirt with some female disciples?”

That person is indeed a big shot. They guessed it right.

Chu Ge firmly defended himself, “Do I seem like that kind of person? I just want to improve myself and learn!”

“That stuff is useless. Just start writing!”

Alright, back to square one.

At this moment, Zhang Qiren’s avatar made a beeping sound. Chu Ge clicked on it and saw a message with a link. It said, “I deleted the ones I collected before. This is a collection of writing tips from a certain forum. It might be somewhat useful. But I think it’s best if you don’t read it. You have your own style and path, and I don’t want you to get influenced in the wrong direction.”

Chu Ge sighed, “Thanks, bro.”

“Haha…” Zhang Qiren sent a laughing expression. “I’m busy, can’t chat anymore.”

Chu Ge couldn’t help but ask, “Recently…”

“Your classmate is keeping a close eye on me. Even though I helped him out, he still treats me like a boss. But he’s been quite troubled lately, and it has made my life easier. I can focus on other things… Well, I won’t talk to you about this. Bye~”

Chu Ge thought to himself that when they discussed how Zhang Qiren was killing two birds with one stone, they might have missed one thing—making Lin Wuyang deal with various aftermaths, which would keep him too busy to keep an eye on Zhang Qiren and allow him to act more freely.

He also didn’t know the current situation of that Wang guy who was taken away… Lin Wuyang had hesitantly asked for his help before, but it had been almost a week since then, and there had been no contact.

Chu Ge shook his head, deciding not to think about these troublesome matters. He turned and sent the link to Qiu Wuji, saying, “This is a good resource, take a look at it.”

Qiu Wuji, without thinking much clicked on the link. Upon seeing it, she was quite satisfied. “Good disciple, being filial.”

“Who’s the disciple here, hey!” Chu Ge exclaimed, annoyed. “At least in this matter, I’m the Master!”

“Okay, Master~”

Chu Ge: “…”

Ignoring him, Qiu Wuji happily went to explore the link.

Upon opening it, her eyes widened in surprise. Why were there so many links inside this link…

Well, even if there were many, Qiu Wuji, as the leader of the Cloud Horizon Sect, had seen even more profound scriptures.

However, after randomly clicking on a few links to read, she found conflicting advice. Take the outline, for example—some said it was necessary to create an outline, even a detailed one, while others said not to restrict oneself with such a thing.

Whose advice should she follow?

Creating a world was indeed difficult… Qiu Wuji pondered for a moment and decided not to read further. After all, these people hadn’t created worlds themselves, had they?

She might as well open a blank document and start writing directly!

…………

Qiu Wuji began writing her book.

The next morning, while Chu Ge was brushing his teeth, he walked by with a sideways glance, then changed his angle and walked by again.

Qiu Wuji sat in front of the computer, with a stern expression, looking at the document with only three lines written, grinding her teeth. “If you keep pacing back and forth here, I’ll throw you off the building!”

“No, no. This protagonist’s name is good. Let’s just call them ‘Protagonist’.”

“What’s wrong with not being able to come up with a name at the moment? Outline the plot first, and I’ll think about the name later!”

Chu Ge blinked his eyes. “How about the surname ‘Chu’? It’s a very elegant surname, commonly used for protagonists in novels.”

“I don’t see you, Chu Ge, being particularly elegant.”

“Well, maybe I’m not, but the surname itself is great. Just think of Chu Liuxiang and others.”

Qiu Wuji hesitated for a moment. The name Chu Liuxiang did sound quite pleasant, although it gave off a playboy vibe. Even Chu Tiange would be a good name… It seemed that the surname ‘Chu’ did indeed have a protagonist feel to it.

She hesitantly asked, “The surname ‘Chu’ seems fine, I guess I can give you face… What about the first name? Do you have any good ideas?”

Chu Ge hid a playful smile. “What do you think? It’s your book, so your opinion matters the most.”

Qiu Wuji fell into contemplation.

Chu Ge, still brushing his teeth, returned to the bathroom.

She thought slowly, a good name….

While she was lost in her daydreaming, Chu Ge’s phone rang.

He answered and heard Zhong Yi’s voice on the other end. “That identity issue has been settled. Are you going to register her separately, or under your household registration?”

Chu Ge jolted and almost jumped up, hurriedly asking, “What’s the relationship required to register under my household? Isn’t it possible without being relatives?”

“As long as the head of the household agrees and provides written proof, it is possible to register someone under the household. Although it’s not encouraged and can lead to disputes, usually it’s difficult to succeed. But if you want to… hmm, just say she’s a distant relative…”

“Register! It must be registered!” Chu Ge excitedly pulled out his lonely household registration page, overjoyed. “She will be a person on this household registration! Let’s say… a distant cousin!”

Well, another layer of BUFF has been added.

Zhong Yi seemed to have predicted what he would say, and he wasn’t surprised. It would be strange if Third Brother and Second Brother weren’t registered under the same household registration.

“Alright, then bring your own documents and come…”

The major accomplishment of resolving the identity issue startled Qiu Wuji, who had been racking her brains to come up with a protagonist’s name. She swiftly came out of her room, tidied herself in front of the mirror, and hopped on Chu Ge’s electric bike, heading straight to the police station.

“Who would have thought that getting an identity as an undocumented person would be more efficient than drawing a cartoon avatar.” Qiu Wuji sighed, “This is the difference…”

Chu Ge’s mouth twitched but he didn’t reply.

He was also lost in thought. The person who had come out of the book was actually going to have an official identity.

She had been staying here for quite a long time now, a whole week, and it seemed like she would never go back.

Day by day, her existence felt more and more real.

He wondered what kind of identity Zhong Yi had arranged for her on his end.
