Hugo comes back like she said at 3 and half pm with her computer bag and a plastic sachet. And she finds McCallister still watching the film. She gets very happy and asks him, without even saying "hello":
-Do you like Indian movies?!
-God!! (frightened) Elizabeth, you scared me! Ouf… My heart…
-Sorry… (she puts the plastic sachet and her computer bag on the kitchen table) Do you like Indian movies?
-Actually… it's my first time I watch an Indian movie and… Did the hero just kill a man with a banana?!!
-Ah! Why everybody must insult the Indian Action?! I know it's… out of logics and physics and… Anyway, I prefer romantic movies, more than action ones.
-And so, must the "lover" sing in different countries with his love? You see him in India, then suddenly in China, and then in Egypt!
-Ah… it's an old movie… Can't you see young Amitabh Bachchan there?!
-I'm not a Bollywood fan.
-Ah, forget that. Did you eat something while I wasn't here?
-Yeah, some sandwiches.
-Hungry?
-A bit.
She gets the plastic packet and takes what's inside and shows it to Jack; two boxes of Chinese food.
-Love Chinese food?
-Yeah...
And they sit together, eating and watching another film…
After they finish, Beth tells Jack, while she's washing some dishes in the kitchen:
-I'll sleep in my bedroom, there. And about you, sleep on the sofa.
-It's kind of comfortable…
-…
-By the way, I won't be idly by watching a little girl spending money on me: tomorrow, I'll start looking for a job… again…
-Ok, but don't sing in streets again; they're dangerous. You know how much a guitar costs?
-Yeah… it's expensive.
-Good. Your blanket is on that chair. If you need me for something, just knock my bedroom's door.
She gets in her room, and wishes for McCallister a good night before closing her door…
***
On the next day, about 10 am, Hugo and McCallister are having breakfast in one of restaurants, sitting outside. Jack's reading a newspaper while Elizabeth writes something in a notebook. He asks her:
-What's that?
-A notebook.
-For what?
-I write my ideas for my novels here.
-O… what's your novels' category?
-Mostly romance.
-Like Indian movies?
-Almost.
-I don't want to break your dreams but… Indian romance is despicable, and so your novels will be.
-First, Indian romance is not despicable. Second, my novels won't be despicable: I'm finding a little problem in publishing it, but they won't be.
-Well, good luck in your novels.
-Thanks.
-A… Elizabeth… I want to tell you… Thanks, and I'm sorry to be rude with you: I mean, imagine that a stranger comes to you, insisting on helping you.
-It's ok, Jack. Everybody needs help.
McCallister smiles to Liz and comes back then to the newspaper while Hugo shuts for a while then she starts singing "tee ta ta ta tee" loudly and she gets up and stands in front of Jack, singing about help and kindness. Then she comes to some customers and takes their hands and so they stand up and each one sings about his experience in helping someone or getting helped and it had a good and big effect, like meeting the true love, or achieving the goals, a solving some troubles etc. At final, they all dance in front of McCallister who's not interested completely in them and is reading the newspaper instead. The clients still dance on tables and sing the same song with Elizabeth. Each customer shows his talent; like playing violin, or flipping etc.
Finally, they finish their dance and everybody gets back to its table. While our Eliza looks to Jack who claps and then he stands up with his newspaper and says:
-Can we come back home? Also, you're late: your university.
-Oh… Right… The lesson will begin after an hour. Let's go.
Hugo puts some money on the table. And they walk together toward the little house…

Elizabeth Hugo, a dreaming woman in her 20s, started her career as a romantic novelist 8 years ago. She met by accident an old man in a bar, called Jack McCallister, in his 60s. He's guitarist and specifically a "classic, folk, country" composer. But when Liz realized that Jack is a failed musician, she tries every time she re-meets him accidentally to help him.However, he refuses, until he finally accepts after becoming homeless. Once he gets in her life, Liz survives incredible and imaginary moments with Jack, thanks to his music, through his famous secret "Close your eyes..."

Yang Yan was not a professional tour guide. Her introduction was not planned or organized; she simply said whatever popped into her mind. But Tang En did not care about these things. He did not have the intention of increasing his knowledge of this university. The only reason he willingly followed the inadequate tour guide everywhere, and had made the pointless trip in the first place, was because she was Yang Yan, the girl whom he had once had a crush on for three years.
When they arrived at a statue, Yang Yan pointed to the barefooted bronze statue holding a bunch of fresh flowers in its hands and said to Twain, "This is D. H. Lawrence. He wrote 'Lady Chatterley's Lover', 'Sons and Lovers', and other novels. He is a local famous literary figure in Nottingham, even possibly as famous as Byron."
"Huh?" Tang En looked puzzled and had absolutely no idea how influential this Lawrence was. But he knew Byron. When he was in high school, he had occasionally heard one or two verses from his poems. It was normal that a high school student might know of Byron. However, the novels of D. H. Lawrence (David Herbert Lawrence) at Tang En's high school might still be described as capitalism's fantasies.
When she realized that this man knew nothing of the figure who made Nottingham renowned in the world, Yang Yan's "presumptuous" fault emerged again. "Sir, are you not from Nottingham?"
"Why do you say that?"
Tang En actually wanted to say, "No! I'm not! I'm from China, and I'm your classmate ..."
"I'm from Eastwood, northwest of Nottingham…."
Yang Yan looked at him with her eyes wide open. "Sir, are you joking? Even a six-year-old boy from Eastwood knows who Lawrence is."
"Who?"
"The most controversial and unique writer in the 20th century British literature. Even now, the novels he wrote are still disdained by the mainstream literary circles in the United Kingdom. They refuse to accept and admit his works."
"Why?"
"Because his novels all depict the life of the mining class, and ridiculed and mocked the wealthy aristocracy. The class differences were very strong. The British literary circles considered Lawrence to be a sex writer, and considered what he wrote to be left-wing literature. In addition, his novel 'Lady Chatterley's Lover' was banned for decades in flagrant violation of the prevailing social mores."
"Violation of social mores?" Tang En found this reason somewhat incomprehensible.
"Well…" Yang Yan bit her lip and replied, "It was the explicit description of sex and pornography…" She felt that it was inappropriate to talk about such matters in front of a stranger, so she turned the conversation back on track. "Do you know that Lawrence was from your hometown, Eastwood?"
Tang En knew he had made a fool of himself, so he face-palmed himself, not knowing what to say. Suddenly, he was saved by the bell. A group of Chinese exchange students, clad in bright red Tang suit jackets, approached them and shouted Yang Yan's name.
"Yang Yan, Yang Yan!"
Yang Yan looked back and greeted them with a bright smile on her face.
"Happy Spring Festival, everyone!"
"Happy Spring Festival to you too!"
"Gong Xi Fa Cai, may you have a prosperous New Year and achieve academic success! Ha ha!"
A group of dark-haired Chinese people were laughing together, and Tang En already felt somewhat unfamiliar amidst their conversation, yet it was such a familiar language that he stood in amazement.
Spring Festival? Is it already the Spring Festival today?
Yang Yan remembered that there was someone behind her, so she turned to Twain and said in English, "Happy Spring Festival! Today is our traditional Chinese festival, just like your Christmas…" Then she repeated slowly in Chinese, "Chun Jie Kuai Le! Gong Xi Fa Cai!"
Tang En opened his mouth, seemingly wanting to follow her words. In the end, he decided not say them aloud.
Of course, I know what the Spring Festival means: family reunion, Chinese New Year's Eve family dinner, ringing in the new year, Chinese New Year TV special, being together with my parents and relatives, having dumplings on the 15th of the first lunar month, the wish to have an abundance every year ...
Homesickness irresistibly welled up in Tang En's mind, and was made stronger when he saw Yang Yan's smiling face especially.
He lowered his head and took out his small notepad from his pocket to quickly write down his phone number and English name, then handed it to Yang Yan. He said, "Miss Yang Yan? I admire your knowledge very much, and I have been an admirer of the Chinese culture for a long time. I always hoped to learn Chinese and about the Chinese culture. If you don't mind, I would like to invite you to be my Chinese teacher. This is my number. Once you've thought about it clearly, you can give me a call. I have some urgent business to attend to and I need to leave now. Thank you very much for being my tour guide, thank you very much! Goodbye, and I also wish you a Happy Spring Festival!"
After a barrage of words, Tang En turned around and hurried away from this place filled with the festive atmosphere and group of people.
Yang Yan held the note in her hand. She had not had time to respond. At this time, her friends next to her came closer.
"What's going on? Who's that man?"
"I think he looks like a young Al Pacino, so handsome!" Someone was becoming smitten.
Yang Yan glanced at her friend, "I don't think ..." Then she looked down at the note in her hand and slowly read the English name scrawled on it, "Tony… Tony Twain?"
A guy shouted when he heard this name.
"Tony Twain? What's he doing here?"
"Do you know him, Liu Wei?" Yang Yan asked that guy.
The guy passed her a newspaper with a big photograph on it: Against the backdrop of a raging red tide, a man clad in black pumped his fist and shouted.
"Him," the guy said to Yang Yan while pointing to the man clad in black in the image. "That's Tony Twain. The Nottingham Forest manager."
Yang Yan stared at this image for a long time, and then asked a question that made shocked the guy. "What's Nottingham Forest?"
The guy jumped up angrily, but did not know how to explain the Forest team's brilliant achievements and the status in this city to the girl who had never watched football, nor understood it. In the end, he just said, "In short, Nottingham Forest is the most successful football club in this city and has a glorious history. Tony Twain is a professional football manager. That's all you need to know."
"Oh, it turns out that he's also a celebrity." Yang Yan laughed at the guy. "Liu Wei, are you regretting that you did not get his autograph or something?" Then she handed the note to the guy, "This is his signature and phone number."
The guy refused. "I'm not a Forest fan, and I'm not so crazy that I would ask for an autograph first. You keep it. He gave it to you."
The girl next to her chimed in, "Yes, that's right. Did he not want you to be his Chinese teacher? This is a good opportunity!"
"What opportunity?"
"In the beautiful and quiet European campus, you met a polite gentleman, and he asked you to meet up again ... Oh, a solemn gentleman and a beautiful governess! What a romantic story!" The girl, who had been smitten just a while ago, snapped out of her daydream only to become enamored again.
"Ali, have you been reading too many romance novels?" Facing this group of friends whom she had made in the university, Yang Yan could only helplessly smile.
"No, Ali was referring to 'Jane Eyre,'" Another girl said seriously as she held her glasses to her face.
Ali immediately reached her hand out and swooned, "Oh, Rochester! Do you think I don't have a heart and soul just because I'm short and plain? If God had given me a little wealth and beauty, I would have made it hard for you to leave me just as it was hard for me to leave you ..."
Everyone laughed, and Yang Yan also laughed happily along with them. In the midst of their laughter, she looked down at this note, and ultimately decided not to throw it away. Instead, she folded it up and put it in her pocket. She came from a well-off family and did not need to work to earn money for her tuition or to support herself. Besides school, she had plenty of spare time to do her favorite things, such as go shopping with her friends, or find a quiet place to read. But she still wanted to keep this work-related contact number.
Why? She herself was not clear about it either. Maybe it was because his surname sounded like that person's name?
※※※
As Tang En quickly walked through the campus, he searched his mind for this year's calendar. Every start of the new year, he had to check when the Chinese New Year would begin each year.
I remember!
Tang En stopped in his tracks.
February 1st is Chinese New Year's Eve, and February 2nd is the Spring Festival. That's right!
Yesterday was Chinese New Year's Eve, and he had led the team to victory since he coached the First Team. Today was the Spring Festival, the most traditional Chinese festival, and the most important; the Spring Festival!
For the past month, he had felt like his brain had almost short-circuited from his transmigration, and that he had been busy living in this unfamiliar world. He had actually forgotten about this very important matter. How are my parents now? Are they healthy? Will they panic about losing their son? He had never thought too much about his parents, as he was the same person even before he transmigrated. Now he felt that he was being very unfilial.
How many years had he not been home for the Spring Festival? Two or three years, or even longer?
In 2004, he had found a job in Chengdu, just a year after graduating from university. In an effort to remain in the city, he decided not to go back for the Spring Festival. He only made a call home on Chinese New Year's Eve to send his greetings. During the 2005 Spring Festival, he had already had two jobs. Although he received an invitation at the end of an alumni reunion, only a few people still remembered him. The other people were doing very well in their careers and lives, while he had accomplished nothing. Feeling down, he simply decided not to go home and damage his reputation. He would not know what to say when his parents asked him about his work. During the 2006 Spring Festival, he changed jobs again, and still used the phone to send his Chinese New Year's greetings to his parents on the way to Shanghai for business. Then, during the 2007 Spring Festival, his job was stable, and he did not have to travel work, but he simply did not feel like returning home. So, he came up with an excuse to tell his parents why he could not return home that year. As he listened to the exploding Chinese New Year's Eve firecrackers, he called again to send his greetings. He felt that he had been numb to such a traditional festival like the Spring Festival, and that it was all the same to him.
It had to be said that Tang En was not a filial child. Even if he seldom took the initiative to call home to contact his family, he had always kept the words from his heart within him. He had been this way since he was young. He had gotten used to it, and did not feel anything was wrong with it.
But now… in 2003 Nottingham, England, for the first time, he had a strong urge to call home. He wanted to hear his parents' voice, even if it were only a sentence.
He took out his cell phone, searched for his home phone number in his memory, carefully entered the numbers, then stood under a big tree and waited for the call to connect.
After what seemed like an eternity, Tang En finally heard a familiar voice on the other end of the call.
"Hello, who's this?"
This was his mother's voice!
He heard the voice of his mother and heard the sound of the firecrackers and television faintly through the receiver. The television host shouted, "Chinese New Year! Happy Chinese New Year!" For a moment he forgot to speak, for fear that he would not hear the voice coming from that distant world if he spoke. It seemed like all he had to do was take a whiff and he would smell his mother's fragrant cooking. Sweet and sour crispy fish, eight treasure rice, braised pork belly, braised pork knuckle, fish-shaped rice cake, glutinous rice meat dumplings… And how could he forget the homemade waxed sausages and meats? These were more delicious than the damn fish and chips that could only be seasoned with salt and malt vinegar. Tang En's mouth watered.
His mother on the other end of the phone did not hear anyone talking, so she asked a few strange questions again, then finally hung up the phone when she did not receive a reply.
Tang En stirred. He had missed the chance to greet his mother. But he did not have to call again. He was satisfied knowing his parents were still living well, and everything was as usual. If something were to happen to him, his mother's voice would not be so calm. Regardless of who was attached to his body now, as long as he treated his parents well, Tang En was content.
Tang En leaned against the tree trunk, looked up at the blue sky, and let out a long breath.
Although the day had not yet passed, Tang En felt incomparably wonderful. He not only knew his parents were currently doing well, but he had also met the prettiest girl in his class whom he had had a secret crush on in a foreign country—even though she could not recognize him.
His mood was turning for the better after just feeling homesick, so he decided to go somewhere.


This is a story about the pursuit of victory.

— "I subscribe only to the theory of victory. I only pursue victory. As long as I am able to obtain victory, I don’t care if it’s total football or counterattack. What is the ultimate goal of professional soccer? In my opinion, it is victory, and the pinnacle of victory is to become the champions. I am a manager. If I don’t wish to lose my job or be forgotten by the people, there’s only one path for me to take, and that is to lead the team in obtaining victories, in obtaining championship titles!”

The main character was not well-liked by people.

— “⋯We conducted a survey which had been deemed by Manager Tony Twain as extremely meaningless. In a random street survey conducted, ninety-three percent of those surveyed chose the option ‘I hate Tony Twain’, while only seven percent chose the option ‘This person is rather decent, I like him’. It is worth noting that nobody chose the option ‘Who is Tony Twain? I don’t know him’. Mark, do you know why Manager Twain felt that our survey was very meaningless?” Parker, a reporter from <The Daily Telegraph> laughed loudly and said when he was being interviewed by BBC.

But there were also people who were madly in love with him.

— “⋯ Became the spokesperson of world-wide famous clothing brands, shot advertisements, frequented the fashion industry’s award ceremonies, endorsed electronic games, has a supermodel girlfriend. His earnings from advertisements exceed his club salary by seventeen times, owns a special column in various print medias, publishing his autobiography (in progress), and is even said that he is planning to shoot an inspirational film based off his own person experiences! Who can tell me which part of his life experiences is worthy of being called ‘inspirational’? Hold on⋯. Are you all thinking that I’m referring to David Beckham? You’re sorely mistaken! I’m talking about Manager Tony Twain⋯.”

He was very knowledgeable about Chinese soccer.

— “⋯ I’ve heard about it, that Bora gifted four books to his manager Mr. Zhu before your country’s national team’s warm up match. After which, the team lost 1:3 to a nameless American team from Major League Soccer. The new excuse that Mr. Zhu gave for losing the match, was that Bora gifted “books” (‘books’ and ‘lose’ are homophones in the Chinese language). Here, I recommend that you guys find out what that one specific book is. Which book? Of course the one that caused you all to score a goal. After that, tell me the title of the book. Before every match, I will gift ten copies of that same book to you. In that case, won’t you all be able to get a triumphant 10:0 win over your opponents every time?” An excerpt taken from Tony Twain’s special column in a certain famous Chinese sports newspaper.


There were few customers in the pet shop in the morning. After cleaning up the shop, playing hide-and-seek with Galaxy, and training Zhan Tian on the green field, Zhang Zian had been reading posts on the forum. Time always passed very fast when he surfed the internet. Nearly an hour had passed after he had browsed the posts on the first and second page of the forum.
The Spring Festival was approaching. Now was the busiest period before the Spring Festival. Students were taking the final exams. The office workers were fighting for the annual bonus, secretly planning whether they should hop to another company after the Lunar New Year. There were few pedestrians on the road. Some elderly people were happily pushing carts to buy groceries for the Lunar New Year because when the Spring Festival arrived, many businesses would close their shops. After running their shops diligently for a year, the business owners also needed to take a rest during the festival. 
Zhang Zian did not need to visit friends and relatives during the Chinese New Year, so he would not need to go shopping for groceries. During the Spring Festival, his pet shop would operate as usual, and he would strive to sell more pets to children since they would receive lucky money from their parents and relatives. He looked at the time and was thinking of going upstairs to remind Pi to rest for a while. At that moment, a car stopped in front of the entrance to his shop.
This was a brand-new BMW sedan with a bright, shiny body. It seemed that it was a vehicle that was registered not long ago. Zhang Zian had never seen this car before. 
Through the window glass, he saw two stylishly dressed girls sitting in the car. Normally, Zhang Zian would look at these attractive girls for a little bit longer. But since he knew these two girls, he could not do that. Speaking of the devil. He was just talking about them. He whispered to himself. 
The two stylish girls were Zhao Qi and Shi Shi. Liu Sanlang was responsible for driving. In addition to the three of them, there was a medium-sized Labrador sitting in the back seat. It was the one that Liu Sanlang bought from Zhang Zian's pet shop. It's funny that this Labrador was wearing a red sweater, which made it look awkward.
Zhang Zian knew that the three of them worked for the same company, and that Liu Sanlang was courting Shi Shi on a regular basis. Why did they come to the pet shop together during this work day?
Liu Sanlang got out of the car and enthusiastically opened the car door for Shi Shi in the back seat. Shi Shi looked at her cell phone from time to time and did not get out of the car. Zhao Qi, who was sitting on the other side of the back seat, got out of the car with her own pet carrier.

Anyhow, they were Zhang Zian's acquaintances. Zhang Zian put his cell phone back into his pocket and walked out of the pet shop to greet them.
"Hey, Sanlang, is this your new car? Not bad."
Liu Sanlang carefully closed the door to the driver's seat. He smiled proudly and said, "Yes, the car was just delivered to me before New Year's Day. It only has a few hundred kilometers on it."
Zhang Zian approached and looked at the car. He was a complete amateur to the car industry and asked, "How much was this car?"
Liu Sanlang's face twitched momentarily. He quietly extended his three fingers, and said in pain, "It cost me nearly 300,000 Yuan in total. I borrowed some money and applied for a loan..."
Unlike houses, cars were not a rigid demand. Zhang Zian felt it was unworthy to borrow money to buy a car, so he asked, "Why not buy a car cheaper than this?"
"Well..." Liu Sanlang said with bitterness and whispered, "Actually, I did not intend to buy a car. After all, unlike such big cities as Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, it was quite convenient to take a taxi or get a ride in Binhai City. Besides, when the air quality is poor, the city only allows vehicles on the streets with even-numbered license plates to alternate with odd-numbered vehicles. But currently, I am pursuing Shi Shi, hoping that she will become my girlfriend. It is more convenient to have a car of my own, so I can take her to many places. At first, I wanted to buy a domestic brand car, which was relatively affordable. Nowadays, the domestically produced cars are not as bad as they were before. But then I wondered if she would look down on me if I bought a domestically produced car. In the end, I firmly made up my mind and bought this imported car..."
Zhang Zian was rather speechless. He thought to himself. You have gone too far beyond your means to impress her. If your girlfriend despises you because you drive a domestically produced car, does she like you or does she like your money?
However, Zhang Zian was not that close to Liu Sanlang. Since Liu Sanlang had already bought the car, Zhang Zian was in no position to judge him. All Zhang Zian could say to Liu Sanlang was that, he should make good use of the car. Even if Liu Sanlang could not develop a romantic relationship with Shi Shi, at least he could impress another girl with this car…


Liu Sanlang whispered as if defending himself, "Shi Shi did not tell me her preference explicitly, but I noticed that she had been reading those online novels such as The Overbearing CEO Fell in Love with Me…so..."
Well, that's how it happened. Zhang Zian could somewhat understand Liu Sanlang's concern. Love was unreasonable. Liu Sanlang liked Shi Shi, who liked those types of guys that were rich and bossy. What could Liu Sanlang do? Although Liu Sanlang could not become a CEO in the foreseeable future, buying an imported car to please the girl he liked had proven his economic capabilities.
"What Overbearing CEO Fell in Love with Me?" Shi Shi, although in the car, seemed to have heard the last sentence they were talking about. She looked at her mobile phone and said, "Who would read that old-fashioned book? I was clearly reading the book called You are Better than the Billionaire CEO's!"
Zhang Zian would normally dismiss the topic with a smile. But today, he glanced at the phone of Shi Shi and found that she was also using the app of Qidian to read web novels.  
"You are reading books on Qidian?" he asked curiously.
"Of course! I am a senior VIP on Qidian and I have been a bookworm of the web novels for a decade!" Shi Shi got out of the car very proudly and the Labrador followed her and got out of the car too. 
"Wow!" Zhang Zian looked at her with admiration.
He learned from the Wang Haige Forum that the readers on Qidian were classified hierarchically. Those who read few books and spent little money on the website were ordinary members. As the users read more books and spent more money, they would become the senior members, and then the primary VIPs, and the top ranking title would be the senior VIPs. On the Zhihu Forum, the most pretentious forum in China, there was a discussion thread called "How did I feel when I became a senior VIP at Qidian", and as the comments in that discussion thread described, the status of the senior VIP at Qidian was as fancy as the King of Diamonds at QQ. 
"Humph!" Shi Shi felt so proud that her chin was almost lifted to the sky. 
"She really is a senior VIP at Qidian, but I have to remind you, that she gained that status by reading all kinds of romantic novels involving the overbearing CEOs..." Zhao Qi came to them with the air box in her hand. Her cat, Lan Lan was gazing at Zhang Zian in the air box.


"Qi Qi! You betrayed me again!" Shi Shi was so angry that she blushed, "Are you still my good friend or not?"
"Was I not talking about the fact?" Zhao Qi continued. "Let me figure it out. Suppose that your claim of being a bookworm for a decade is true. You are 25 years old this year, which means that you have been reading those romantic novels involving the overbearing CEO's from the age of 15! I do hope that a bossy CEO would appear from nowhere and make you his girlfriend so that you would not waste your time daydreaming anymore. Of course, it would be the best if that CEO would love you at the beginning and abandon you in the end. Otherwise, I would not be able to remain calm..."
"My…my birthday has not arrived this year. I am currently 24 years old, all right?!" Shi Shi was very unruly in front of Liu Sanlang, but in the face of her bestie Zhao Qi, she would never truly lose her temper. 
"Besides, I only read those romantic novels about the overbearing CEO's occasionally. I read ordinary novels most of the time, and I also read the foreign novels in paperback…" Lacking confidence, Shi Shi justified herself to Zhang Zian. 
"Come on, stop the pretense!" Zhao Qi scorned. "The so-called foreign novels in paperback that you read are Fifty Shades of Grey, aren't they? They are nothing more than the darker versions of those novels about the overbearing CEO's written in English!"
"Hey! Qi Qi, you said too much!" Shi Shi was upset. 
Zhang Zian did not care about the genres that Shi Shi liked. What he cared about was the preference of the readers on Qidian. And as a bookworm for a decade on Qidian, Shi Shi should have some understanding of the preferences of the readers of web novels. So, he tentatively asked, "Shi Shi, as a reader, are you interested in reading a web novel about a pet shop?"
"What? Pet shop?" Shi Shi stared at Zhang Zian incredulously like she was looking at a fool. "Are you crazy? Who will read a web novel about a pet shop? What's to write about a pet shop? Cleaning the feces of pets all day long? If people want to raise cats or dogs, they need to cleanse the feces of their pets. Why would they read about the situations in a pet shop? Am I right, Xiao La?"
Xiao La barked a few times, as if responding to her.
Although what you said makes sense, why am I so unhappy? Zhang Zian said to himself. 

"Because restricted by some objective conditions, some people who want to raise dogs or cats can't raise pets in real life. If I remember correctly, this Labrador is not yours, it was bought by Sanlang." Zhang Zian pointed out this fact.
Yes, he remembered that Liu Sanlang bought this Labrador to attract Shi Shi's attention, and Liu Sanlang really succeeded because Shi Shi quite liked the puppy. But the apartment Shi Shi rented did not allow her to raise pets. 
Due to the limitations of certain conditions and the doubts that they could take care of the pets till death set them apart, a lot of people had chosen to watch cats or dogs on the internet by appreciating the photos and videos of cats and dogs uploaded by others on forums and Weibo every day. Zhang Zian was in favor of the cautious attitude of these people. Watching cats or dogs on the internet was far better than those people who bought pets recklessly and sent away or deserted the pets when they realized that they were unfit to raise pets. Could those people who appreciated pets on the internet turn into pet novel readers? Even if only one of ten thousandths of those people became readers, that would be enough. 
"Well..." Shi Shi stuttered suddenly, but then she said stubbornly, "What you said may be true, but how can you let these people who raise pets on the internet know about this novel?"
Zhang Zian admitted that she was right. This was the most crucial issue.
"Yes, which novel is this? Tell me the title. As a bookworm for a decade, I can identify whether there is a future for this novel." Shi Shi boasted boldly. 
Zhao Qi also asked curiously, "Zhang Zian, are you writing a novel about a pet shop?"
"No, I'm not." Zhang Zian replied. That's not a lie. It was Pi who was writing a novel. 
"Actually, I think you can write a novel. Anyway, you have nothing to do in your pet shop, right?!" said Zhao Qi, "What if it becomes a popular novel?"
Zhang Zian quickly waved his hands to change the topic, "Forget it, I know myself, I don't have what it takes to become a writer… By the way, why are you here?"

Synopsis :
Empires rise and fall on the Yulan Continent. Saints, immortal beings of unimaginable power, battle using spells and swords, leaving swathes of destruction in their wake. Magical beasts rule the mountains, where the brave – or the foolish – go to test their strength. Even the mighty can fall, feasted on by those stronger. The strong live like royalty; the weak strive to survive another day.

This is the world which Linley is born into. Raised in the small town of Wushan, Linley is a scion of the Baruch clan, the clan of the once-legendary Dragonblood Warriors. Their fame once shook the world, but the clan is now so decrepit that even the heirlooms of the clan have been sold off. Tasked with reclaiming the lost glory of his clan, Linley will go through countless trials and tribulations, making powerful friends but also deadly enemies.

Come witness a new legend in the making. The legend of Linley Baruch.

POSITIVE REVIEW :

CD has a very special place in my heart, which is why I'm also a bit bias towards it, being one of the first Xianxia I read.
This is an amazing piece to begin with if you're new to Xianxia, reason being that it's a complete translation, no need to wait a day, or week for a new chapter. Just binge through it all.
What really makes this one great is the relationships the MC has with different characters, which just helps flesh out the personality of the MC. This story should've been a bit longer in my opinion, to focus a bit more on certain characters, because this story suffers greatly from ignoring certain character for quite some time, until they become necessary for the story again, which is a bit sad, because many of them has been a great part of the story, until they're not. It makes it feel a bit rushed.
The world, the adventures, everything is extremely well written, it's such an amazing joy to read, and you just wish you could experience something like it while reading it, it's simply amazing. CD has its flaws, but I'm uncertain if it's because I'm bias toward it, or that it's just simply that good, that I gave it a 5/5. The non-bias part in me would like to rate it at 4/5, but in the top tier of 4s, because I feel like there's the possibility it could've been even better with more chapters, exploring characters, adventures and romance more.
UPDATE:
So I've read CD again, for the second time. Why should you read this? Because I Eat Tomatoes, the author is simply a genius at tugging at your heart strings, and making up likable characters and creating an amazing world, which shares the same universe as some of his other works. Of course reading it a second time, you notice some of the flaws.
In general all of I Eat Tomatoes works revolves around "Luck" which can be noticable in CD quite a bit, but I didn't find it overly so, except for a few cases, where luck simply is the only thing keeping the MC alive, but I can let it slide, since I can't come up with a better way of making such a rich and interesting story to begin with.
Also, the fighting becomes more or less the same at a point in the story, but the Author has still done a good job at keeping it interesting, but it does become predictable as it gets closer to the end. The most serious "flaw" this novel faces, though, is still the abandonment of characters, as most are really well written and introduced and to just forget about them is really the big flaw of CD. Getting a conclusion of what happened to some characters at the end would've been the cherry on the top for this novel.
This is still one of the best written novels out there, and I can't recommend it enough.

NEGATIVE REVIEW :

Well, where should I start.. Okay~
Coiling Dragon (Panlong) is honestly.. my first Chinese Novel. People regard their first novel as 'The one that made them read more', but it wasn't the case for me.
First, I'll start with good points of Coiling Dragon:
Spoiler
1. CD is a good novel for beginners. Unlike other Novels like ISSTH and TMW, this novel doesn't use 'Qi' or any chinese power leveling. In return, the story uses our typical Four Elements + Other Add-in to rank their powers.
2. CD has a very good initial setting. The MC, Linley is a scion of Baruch Clan, which is known for their Dragon Bloodline. He was branded as a failure after a test, but all of these changed when he acquired the *tada* Coiling Dragon Ring. There comes Grandpa Doehring. He became his teacher and taught him ways how to improve his strength and to obtain a way how to activate his Dragon Bloodline.
3. CD has a good 'Early' Romance setting. The part when Linley chose Delia over Alice is the highest point of their romance, In my Opinion.
4. For people who likes to read long novels, this is the novel for you. It is the first one of the Xianxia Genre to be fully translated. The quality of translation is good also.
5. If you like astronomically large numbers, the Author likes to give those kind of numbers.

[collapse]
The bad points of Coiling Dragon
Spoiler
1. Coiling Dragon, in a sense, has a very ridiculous PLOT ARMOR. Like IET's Novels, ALL coincidences happen to him, as if the author inserts them just to make a new objective. His Luck is way past the luck of other lucky protagonist, that you'll think his survival along the story was due to luck. Yes, he is hardworking, but much of his strength comes from luck.
2. Romance and Family setting is also ridiculous. There is a part where the MC leaves his family for almost 10 years and just to see his son and daughter grown up. Yes, he is a peerless expert, but he is a bad father.
3. Battle scenes are very annoying. If you want to describe their battle scenes, It looks like two saiyans fighting together. You won't see anything because of their very fast movement. All the audience can say is 'How fast!' and 'Such Strength!'
4. CD's plot is just confusing. Many characters are introduced, but almost the same number was forgotten.
5. In short, CD is a story with OP MC that flaunts 'MY MC's Soooo OP that...' It's that kind of story.\\

[collapse]
All in all, CD is good for new novel readers in it's early parts, but there are MUCH BETTER Novels out there in translation. If you want uninterrupted reading, this one's for you. (If you can handle the repetitivene plot of story)

My thoughts : This novel is the first novel for many veterans here. It's also my third webnovel and first full webnovel. This novel is like DBZ for webnovels outside China. This novel is a good novel for those who are new webnovel.

In my library : No (completed reading this before even this site started.)

*currently in the progress*

Guys, there are stats for every TRANSLATED(no original) novel on this site in the book. 

Additionally I added synopsis for every novel.

So when you feel like not finding a novel to read, check out this book and you might find something to read.

If you are new to webnovel, then this book would definitely be a good guide to you. 

Please drop a review and vote if you like what I'm doing. Thank you.

"Isn't that better?" Bo Jiu thought.
Just as she was about to stand up her wrists were held down. 
"You're not going to see the things I prepared for you?" Qin Mo asked carelessly.
Bo Jiu asked. "What things?" 
Games? She had already played Super Mario. 
But she realised, cultured people confessed differently from others. The only methods she could learn from her novels were gifting flowers or cars. 
The Almighty was of a much higher class. However, as an overbearing CEO, she didn't have to think too much. One of them could be in charge of being romantic and the other would focus on splurging. 
It was suitable, he liked everything she gave anyway.
Qin Mo didn't answer her, and just made her wait. 
The night deepened. The entire church seemed like a palace that was lit up, as a golden glow streamed out.
Some people say that the hell in the West is not as bloody as people think.
In the West, Lucifer is the ruler of hell. After falling from Heaven, the beautiful archangel in the underground of the holy city of Jerusalem created the most beautiful palace in hell, just like a church on earth. But there was no more holy light. 
The scene at this moment was very like the West's description of Hell. The wind blew lightly and they could barely hear it other than when the occasional black feather or flower fell. 
The lake over there seemed to be the legendary 'other side', it was very quiet. The moonlight was cold and stars filled the skies, outlining the entire Milky Way. 
Bo Jiu stood up, her eyes gleaming. 
Is this it? The thing the Almighty wanted her to wait for. 
Bo Jiu turned around and wanted to ask. 
Just then Qin Mo turned and lit something. It was a Kongming lantern. There were two words written on it, Mo and Jiu. 
After the Kongming lantern lifted, it seemed to issue an order. Hundreds of Kongming lanterns rose in the wind and filled the night sky.
It was not lit by an open flame, it seemed more like wind generated by electricity. 
Using the most ancient Chinese method to confess. That was probably what Qin Mo wanted to do. 
He stood tall, his clothes fluttering, the corners of his robe shuffling when the wind blew. He was still holding a Kongming lantern in his hand, just like an ancient young master dressed in white. 
The thousands of church lights behind him couldn't seem to resist the depth of his gaze. All the light from the stars landed in his eyes. 
It seemed like a scene that would only appear in comics, but now, it was appearing in real life. 
This place wasn't like China. In the business street of Fifth Avenue, people caught sight of the lights from afar, looking on with curious eyes. 
"What's that? It's pretty." 
One of them was helping his friend catch up. "That's Kongming lanterns, something from the East." 
"There's so many of it, how did it appear there, shall we take a look?"
"It's beautiful. Someone must be making a wish." 
A large stretch of Kongming lanterns covered the skies above the church. 
Almost everyone could see the words Mo Jiu on the lanterns. Those that couldn't read chinese words thought that they were symbols with special meaning. 
Below the mountain, inside a pure black coupe, You Sixin leaned back to look at the Kongming lanterns. He didn't forget to turn to the person beside him. "Now you can rest assured, Qin Mo's showy character, he wouldn't do something like this unless he really loves the person a lot. So, you don't have to worry about Z's safety. Qin Mo came all the way to Fifth Avenue just for Z, naturally, he would not arrest her again, and would take care of her. When these two people join forces, it will only be others with a headache…"


Fu Jiu appears to be a normal lad in high school on the surface. But in fact, she (Yes! She!) is the hacker, Z, a villain-terminator in the online world of an alternate world. Having reincarnated into the body of a woman and being forced to disguise herself as a young man, she reigns over the game world, fights for justice, and puts a spell on all the girls around with her innate charm. However, her flirting comes across as gay to the rich Almighty Qin and his inner circle. Over time, the Almighty Qin falls for him… her. Has he turned gay for him… her? Now, that's confusing!
Keywords: Rebirth, Face-slapping, Online gaming, Pet lover, Hacking, Chocolate-flavored lollipop
Sugary Scene:
Fu Jiu said, "Almighty Qin, do you have a girlfriend?"
Qin Mo lowered his laptop. "No."
Fu Jiu lowered her voice and started flirting carelessly. "You have one now, me."
Upon hearing that, Qin Mo pounced on Fu Jiu domineeringly!
Fu Jiu was stunned. "Wait, what are you doing?"
Qin Mo replied, "Exercising my boyfriend rights."

Author's notes
Before the story starts I just want to state a few things.
This is my first time writing and not to mention English is not my native language nor is it the official language in the country I reside in (not my native country also speaks a different language), English is pretty much only used in classrooms and such. As I have 3 languages running through my head, sometimes I have my thoughts are in a strange mishmash of these 3 languages before being regurgitated into out, so expect a lot of grammar errors. 

The name of this novel could later be changed but for now, I just followed the Japanese naming convention of light novels. This is also my way of criticizing the japs way of naming their novels, even my novel has zeros relations to the japs as it's set in a Chinese cultivation world.
Story start----
Vladimir Zelensky Dragunov was a HEMA (Historical European Martial Arts) instructor living a bland while a joyful life, while due to his anti-social behavior he has remained single to this day but Vlad isn't too concerned about that as his life's passion which is centered around Medival Europe.

Not saying that he doesn't want to get married and have kids but if you think hard enough what to entails... All of a sudden it got a lot less appetizing. Vlad would often look as his parents as a reference point, like all of a sudden you'll have this chatterbox scolding you day and night constantly reminding of how incomplete and useless you are. 
Vlad remembers how his mother scolded his father and his father just sat there and took all of it without saying a word, Vlad clearly took after his father being the silent type.
 
Vlad would remember his father telling him stories of how a woman used to be much meeker in the past when his father was still in his childhood which is pretty much unsinkable for the young Vlad.

'Oh if it were that' Vlad thought as the woman in Vlad's generation are even more vicious and insane that his father's generation to the point of making his mom look like an angel.

Vlad has heard scary stories so the wife cheats and has a child, the husband finds out and files a divorce but still has to pay for child support.

That there is the pinnacle of savagery. 

Looking at his income, his looks, his introvert nature and using his parents as a reference point, it's highly likely that he'll end up just like the guy in the story. So with a high likelihood of tragedy befalling on him, he gave up on a romantic life and instead focusing on his hobby.

Life was going well until one day he found out that he has brain cancer and doesn't have long to live.

Du Du Dam

Tragedy struck and Vlad fell into despair, he quit his job and tries to speeds the remainder of his days drinking away until his death.

However fate seems to have other plans for him as during one of his drunken he stumbles upon an ancient manuscript pertaining to the philosophers stone, he quickly fell asleep soon after but the next morning he picks up the book and wondered... Just wondered maybe...

'well... might as well give it a try' he thought as, at his time of greatest despair, anyone would try out anything no matter how ridiculous it may seem.

And so he began researching into the occult and the divine for salvation.

Months passed he his research finally bore fruit and it finally came to this, standing in the middle of a pentagram with a knife in his hand.

'a Phoenix rises from the ashes. In order to find salvation one must be prepared to be damned' Vlad thought as he cheeks everything before proceeding to stab himself in the heart.

Vlad coughed out a mouthful of blood falling on the pentagram and died.

Naturally, he didn't just commit suicide for no apparent reason according to the ancient text in order for his mind to survive reincarnation he must die at the pentagram. 

While he did find other ways to survive but he found this to be the most ideal as he was pretty much buried in debt in his pursuit of ancient forbidden knowledge. It obviously didn't come cheap and he has traveled all over Europe and coming in contact with a bunch of shady people in order to acquire them. 

With all that said starting all over doesn't sound such a bad idea and so he chose to reincarnate instead.

....

Moments passed and the next time he opened his eyes, he found himself in a cave of some sort.

Vlad examined his surroundings and found that his body has turned into that of a baby's and the next thing he notices is the pentagram beneath him.

Vlad tries to get up but fails horribly due his muscles being underdeveloped.
  
Step       Step       Step

As he was trying to get up however he hears footsteps which made him stopped whatever he was doing to listen to the source of the footsteps.

Step           Step            Step

The footsteps grow closer as he starts hearing voices speaking in an unknown language 

"$@@$$@"(this is the place where I sensed the strange Qi)

"$@$@&&@&"(oh master look at there! There's a child there!)

Soon Vlad sees an Asian man wearing an ancient Chinese costume appear and picks him up.

(master such pale skin... Blue eyes and yellow hair this boy must have a rare ancient bloodline)

Not long after another man Asian man with red hair appears and started to examine Vlad's baby body.

(strange... I have never known a bloodline with such characteristics)

Then the red-haired man looks at the pentagram on the floor for a bit trying to uncover it's secrets.

Unfortunately for the man, European dark magic works on a completely different principle than eastern mystic nonsense so he naturally can't figure anything from it.

The red-haired man frons as he decided to rip the stone slab surrounding the strange formation and placed it in his storage ring.

Seeing this naturally startles Vlad greatly as such a feat should be impossible. 
 
That guy just ripped a large tone slab and made it disappear. What is he? Superman?

The red-haired man then stared at Vlad before murmuring to the Asian guy holding Vlad 

(let's take him back with us)

(yes master)

Then they went back to the Manor

A HEMA instructor in a cultivation world 

Warning: My first novel and bad grammar

"I love you! You Shitty-abusive-male-lead!"
"I love you too female-lead-who-clearly-needs to-be-admitted-to-a-mental-facility-and-get-away-from-me!"
"And then a happy ending for the two of them,hahaha ( ╹▽╹ )"
"I love your voiceover of the characters it's even better than the drama" said my sister as she laughed her ass off. I looked at her and gave a small smile. I wanted to laugh too but mainly cry. "Who wrote these scripts?" was what was constantly on my mind as I watched some of these chinese dramas and Korean dramas. Then I realized that to me bl or boys love was better than a romance between a man and a woman. You could say I was in an abusive relationship with some chinese novels and manhuas too. I felt like they were the abusive male lead, I was the female lead that-needed-to-be-admitted-to-a-mental-facility and the bl novels and manhuas,mangas and manhwas were my second male lead. You can guess who I liked the most. It's not that hard. Seriously. I know that bl has issues too. I am aware of them but I would never ever like a story that depicts an abusive relationship. Like the top raping the bottom or the other way around. And I saw with my own eyes people liking and supporting stories like this. It made me sad. That this is taken lightly but if it happened to them or someone close to them, would they think that way? I could only hope it  would never happen to them or the people that they cared about.


"You're really quiet.What's wrong, Shanshan?"I looked at her "I was just thinking that I would rather remain single till I die than to have a romantic relationship with someone". My sister looked at me then sighed "Then let's be old maidens. Make a fortune and spend it on things that we like. How about that?" I showed a big grin "Yes sister.I love you" I hugged her and kissed her cheek "You are the best". My sister laughed and kissed my forehead. I want to stay like this forever. Me and her. Happy.
"Let's go to sleep, I don't think I could finish watching this episode today". 
"Me neither".
This was another  drama disguised as a good drama. Why would I watch it if I don't like it? I was persuaded by my sister to watch it with her. She said that we could learn many things from these dramas. She advised me to never follow the female lead's footsteps and fall in love with an abusive, shitty, controlling male lead. I know that they are just works of fiction and not one hundred percent accurate but it made me open my eyes to real life issues like ****, drugs, schemes, abusive relationships, Stockholm syndrome things that I didn't knew existed. So I learned a lot. I learned to treasure common sense. I also learned that the police is useless in most situations. So I should learn to take care of myself.
Don't walk alone at night. 
Don't accept anything from anyone.
Learn to read people's expressions.
Don't involve yourself with any shabby high paying jobs.
Pay attention to your surroundings specially while crossing the road.
Think veeeeeeeeeeeeery carefully before you speak or say anything to anyone. Words have weight and can be used as powerful weapons against you or someone else. 
Don't associate yourself with  rich people. Almost all of them are  either crazy or have some serious issues.Remember, you can't help them even if you have good intentions. They should get treatment.
Use your brain at all circumstances. 
And the most important thing: Use  common sense. 
This, my friend will get you to places. 
After me and my sister brushed our teeth and put our pajamas on we laid down on the beds that we had put together creating a king sized bed.
"Remember when mother found out that we were sleeping on a single bed all cramped up and she said that if she found out that we did it again she would beat us up? All because we were scared of the movie that we saw that day hahahaha" I smiled and added "Then we were found out, scolded and beaten lightly. Afterwards mom suggested that we put the two beds together and even helped us." 
My sister smiled "Yeah. Such good memories. Except for the beating."
"But it didn't hurt much" I knew our mother was holding back because if she didn't...
Just thinking about it makes me tremble in fear. 
I felt drowsy "Good night, sister" I closed my eyes and fell asleep.
That night I had a strange dream.
I must have been influenced by that drama because I dreamed I was the female lead.
In the dream I was looking at the male lead as he said-"You're my woman".
 "I am not an object"- I retorted. I know that this won't get me anywhere but I couldn't let him trample all over me.
He frowned and yelled-"You're mine!".
"Even if you scream that with all your strength,it  doesn't mean I will accept your point of view"- I reasoned. "For a person gifted with such a high IQ you sure don't seem like it"- I stated, the obvious. 
"Listen.You and me don't have a future together. But you and a therapist have"- I advised. Hoping that he would take my advice seriously and get treatment as soon as possible.
He froze, making a funny face while trying to digest my words. I don't blame him through.
He probably never had a proper conversation with a woman. Good thing I practiced how to be patient while dealing with my youngest cousins tantrums. Thank you auntie and cousins. I love you both.
After waiting for a long time I walked away. Looking for a place to sit down. This was going to last a long time since I usually sleep at least 8 hours on the weekends. 
Just as I was about to sit on the floor it started to crumble. A hole opened up and I fell down. I closed my eyes and when I opened them I was floating in a white space.

He had waited five years for that, and he did not want such propaganda or publicity. Promising yes, to bring the same: videos, photographs of the culinary elements with which the exotic dish would be prepared, GPS location maps; even a satellite mapping of the route, which could be followed via the internet.
"Love," said the young woman, "to the intrepid boyfriend, whom she had moved: land and sea and even the sky to achieve her mission ...
—It will be three days, —conditioned the young woman—, of honeymoon. We will start the first day in the light of the moon, with a serenade and you will take acoustic guitar and you have to compose a love song, which you will perform for me. That first night you will tell me about your marriage plans, and you will offer our living for the first five years. I will be listening to you all night and giving approval to your offer and of course, low, the moon will expose my future demands 'to skin'. If you achieved this for me; you will get everything that I ask you to do or you propose to offer me.
"I like it," said the Doctor, "and of course we will: Honey." For you I am able to dredge the sea in order to get pearls with which I would make a beautiful necklace for your beautiful neck and for bracelets that I would put on your ankles; just to see you dance: under the light of the moon and the heat of the bonfire on those beaches of the White Island.
—I like that challenge, aiming for it, for more later… in the next and subsequent leisure, tourism and business trips; Well, after this, I myself will direct the company that you will form for such purposes.
Charly's father agreed to every request because he was a man of wide vision; on that trip: the yacht was already selling, the tourist package: "Alone on the White Island", or "Alone on the White Island"; on that trip the yacht already carried a mini laboratory, which would be used for the first bacteriological or virological tests; it was common to be intoxicated in Central America by eating crustaceans and marine species extracted from the reefs and corals of the islands.
The Doctor had considered solving any unforeseen event, since health came first; but also the exorbitant payments made by transnationals for laboratory tests; and this was a great sponsored opportunity, opportunity to discover certain patterns l would catapult to fame, prestige and fortune; and more l get that date with the woman he loved all his life.
And they may have wondered: Who was that young woman? What family ancestry would he have to have such wishes and more to see them fulfilled?
Dear reader: When you read another of my novels: BitLove, you will find the answer. This young woman likes trips to spas all over the world and she turns out to be Nalexa's half sister, and her name is: Alondra. Her father, a renowned captain of an international cruise ship, who usually docks every so often at the Chimbote pier, had her with a Parisian woman who did not wish to have her but gave her up for adoption. Alondra, was involved in BitLove, in another romantic and failed evening with Xuli Latro, a Chinese agent, who to conquer armed something similar to the Doctor, but without achieving her mission.
(Keep going...)

An announcement was posted on Zhongdian Chinese Network, Repent and be Saved's details page, and Tengda Games' official Weibo at almost the same time. Soon, they caught the attention of many players. 
"Eh? Repent and be Saved's developers are working together with a small online novel website?" 
"Isn't that the website which published Repent and be Saved's official novel?" 
"The rewards for this combined event are so awesome! Not only can we get unimpeded access to the novel website, but we can also get rewards in-game items." 
"Look-Changing Pills? They can change the characters' looks? Holy sh*t, don't stop me, I'm going to get them for sure!" 
"The accounts have been linked? That's great; we won't have to register for a new account." 
"I've been keeping up with this website. The books were trash in the beginning, but their more recent novels look quite good. They're not far off compared to the elite novels you find on Infinite Chinese Network. You can read them when you have nothing better to do." 
"For the sake of the Look-Changing Pills, let's go!"
Everyone seemed quite excited. 
At the end of the day, one had to admit that the rewards were well-chosen! 
The protagonist in Repent and be Saved was just an ordinary man. At the moment, players could not customize their characters. After all, Pei Qian had been trying his best to deter sight-seers from the game back then.
That made being able to change their characters' looks that much more important to players! 
There were several NPCs in the game—especially female ones—who looked quite similar to the protagonist.
Once players heard that they could turn their character into a female, they became more excited! 
Of course, given the game's theme and design, female NPCs could not look that attractive. They were worlds apart from adult games, which prioritized the characters' looks.
Still, players of Repent and be Saved would be used to seeing monsters and corpses thanks to the game's background story. Any female NPC would look outstanding and attractive against such a backdrop. 
Thus, hoards of players logged onto Zhongdian Chinese Network to finish their tasks, in hopes that they would obtain Look-Changing Pills at the end of the seven-day period. 
They did not even have to spend money on an item like that—all they had to do was log in for seven days in a row. It would be an absolute waste if they gave it up! 
At the same time, Zhongdian Chinese Network released a bunch of elite novels. 
Under the editors' tireless guidance, there were bound to be a few lousy authors who would achieve breakthroughs and produce pretty good novels. 
Based on the backend figures, Ma Yiqun picked out these good seedlings and topped up their remuneration using the sum of money that Boss Pei had transferred to him. The payment that these authors received was comparable to what they would earn if they had written for other large websites; thus, they became very motivated. 
Many authors began to update their novels quicker during the event period, causing readers to become hooked more easily. 
Thus, Zhongdian Chinese Network had both the right quality of novels and the right number of readers. A virtuous cycle had been established! 
Many gamers who had been reading novels on Infinite Chinese Network were happy to add another novel website to their list. They could read different novels on each site concurrently. 
With the revenue earned from readers, the website would no longer need to rely on Boss Pei for subsidies in the future. Slowly, it would be able to turn losses into profit. 
As Ma Yiqun watched the backend figures on the website increase, he felt pleased and comforted. 
"I'll report this good news to Boss Pei!" 
Ma Yiqun dialed Boss Pei's number, feeling increasingly proud of himself. 
"Hello…?" 
Boss Pei's voice sounded very nasal over the phone. 
Ma Yiqun paused. "Boss Pei, do you have the flu? I'm sorry, I shouldn't be disturbing you now." 
Every Tengda employee was extremely concerned about Boss Pei's health. After all, he was like a mentor to all of them. 
Pei Qian answered, "It's no big deal. Is there trouble with the website? Quick, tell me." 
Ma Yiqun was not sure if he was just imagining things, but there always seemed to be a hint of hopefulness in Boss Pei's voice. 
Did he hope that there would be trouble with the website? 
That's impossible. Boss Pei must sound like that because he's sick. I must be hearing things. 
Ma Yiqun could not help but grin. "Boss Pei, I have some good news!
"Starting next month, you won't have to provide so much money to top up our authors' remuneration! At the end of this month, I intend to return a portion of the money you transferred to me as well. In three or four months, Zhongdian Chinese Network might become self-sufficient!" 
Boss Pei remained silent for a long time before he responded. "Huh?" 
Ma Yiqun continued, "Boss Pei, you've directed a huge amount of traffic to Zhongdian Chinese Network through Repent and be Saved. It's proving effective!
"We saw many gamers visiting Zhongdian Chinese Network during this period. It made our website much more popular than it was. 
"Thus, I thought about organizing a combined event with Li Yada. It looks like we're seeing some results! 
"There's been an increase in the number of registered users and active users on the website. On top of that, more readers seem to be following various novels. This means that gamers are not just visiting Zhongdian Chinese Network to browse through the official novel. They're staying behind and reading other novels on our site! 
"With the revenue generated by these readers, the website would probably earn much more during this period. That's why I don't think we'll need to spend as much money to top up our authors' remuneration. 
"That's also why I'm thinking about returning a portion of the money you transferred to me. That way, we can spend the money more meaningfully…" 
Before Ma Yiqun could finish speaking, Boss Pei turned his suggestion down. 
"There's no need! Don't do that!"
Ma Yiqun was confused. "Huh?"
Pei Qian cleared his throat, trying to calm himself down. "The money is not important. Repent and be Saved is selling so well; why are you still worried that Tengda would lack funds? 
"In any case, the money would be better spent on Zhongdian Chinese Network! 
"What stage are we at now? We're only seeing signs that our losses could be turned into profits. We're still a long way from becoming giants in the online literature industry, like Infinite Chinese Network!
"Keep the money and don't transfer it back. 
"No matter what, you have to think of ways to spend all that money this month! Shouldn't we be giving our new readers some benefits? 
"Shouldn't we give our authors a greater bonus, given that they've been working so hard over the past few months purely for the sake of their passion? 
"Our employees have been working extremely hard as well. Shouldn't we organize some team-building events and bring everybody closer? 
"We could also look for more programs and improve our website and mobile application. Are our server and bandwidth still good enough now that we have so many new readers? Otherwise, spend money to upgrade them. 
"There are still so many avenues to spend money. Why are you always thinking about holding back and saving on capital? It's not your own money that you'll be spending; don't be so stingy. 
"Spend as much as you want! If you don't have enough money, ask me for more!" 
Ma Yiqun felt ashamed upon hearing Boss Pei's words. 
He was such a letdown! 
Ma Yiqun had only thought about turning the website's losses into profits and saving money for Boss Pei. 
After all, the website had been burning money on the editors' salaries, the website's operating expenses, the authors' remuneration, and the like for the past couple of months
This made Ma Yiqun deeply uncomfortable. He couldn't stop thinking about how to earn all that money back for Boss Pei. 
Now, Boss Pei's words had shaken him awake. 
It was important to generate profits, but the website's development was even more important! 
Zhongdian Chinese Network was one part of Boss Pei's larger plan. It was still considered small-scale at the moment. Even if Ma Yiqun could turn the losses into profit, the website would probably only generate a small profit. One could not compare Zhongdian Chinese Network to a giant like Infinite Chinese Network. 
Tengda Games was already way ahead of Zhongdian Chinese Network. It was almost as if that latter was the younger sibling, trailing behind the older sibling and copying everything it did.
At a time like that, the younger sibling should be thinking about sharing the older sibling's burdens and maturing as quickly as possible. 
Ma Yiqun was deeply moved, not only because Boss Pei seemed to already have a bright plan for Zhongdian Chinese Network's future, but more so because he seemed to trust Ma Yiqun a lot as well! 
"Alright, Boss Pei. I'll spend the money on developing the website. Don't worry!"
… 
After hanging up, Pei Qian silently switched on his laptop to study Zhongdian Chinese Network's situation. 
Although he could not see the backend figures, there was another way to check how popular the website was. 
He could click on a random novel on the homepage and browse the comments section. 
Before this, the comments sections had either been cold and deserted or filled with criticism. Either way, they always looked tragic. 
However, the situation was different now. Pei Qian clicked on various books on the homepage, and all their comments sections looked normal! 
Some rushed authors to update more regularly, some gave positive feedback, and some discussed the plots. 
It was also obvious that more people were recommending, voting for, and saving all of these novels.
This was not the case for just one or two novels but for nearly all the novels on the homepage! 
Pei Qian knew very well that Zhongdian Chinese Network was not faking these figures. In fact, it would remove any novel with artificially-boosted figures from its recommendation spots immediately. There was no way that such novels would remain on the website's home page. 
In other words, all the figures Pei Qian was seeing for the novels on the homepage were real! They were becoming more popular among readers! 
That was not the worst part. 
To Pei Qian's surprise, the novels on the homepage were much better than before, in terms of content, rhythm, and language. 
Pei Qian had read several novels on Zhongdian Chinese Network before. Basically, all of them were some of the lousiest novels he had ever read. He could never decipher the plot. They were the kinds of novels that ordinary people would give up on after one or two chapters. 
However, the novels he was reading now looked like something else! 
Their titles and synopses were much more attractive. They also had a better pace and more satisfying storylines. 
All in all, the novels were more tasteful! 
It was no wonder that the figures were improving. 
The higher traffic was only part of the problem. The root of the problem was that the books were getting better. That was why the readers were sticking around. 
Of course, the books were not that great either. At best, they could be considered top-tier books on Infinite Chinese Network. Still, they were very readable. 
"What's happening?" 
Pei Qian frowned after discovering the problem. 
I thought Ma Yiqun didn't understand online literature. 
After all, every single novel he released failed. Clearly, he deeply misunderstands the world of online literature. If that's true, the editors he trained should be equally clueless. If all the editors in Zhongdian Chinese Network do not understand online literature…
How did they decide to place these better-than-average novels on the home page? Did they base their decision on the backend figures? 
Hmm, that seems possible…
Pei Qian was beginning to suspect that he had misunderstood Ma Yiqun's true standard. 
However, on further thought, he realized that the readers were the greatest decision-makers. Although Zhongdian Chinese Network did not have that many readers yet, their choices were still dependable. 
Ma Yiqun did not have to read every single book. He only had to pick out the books with better backend figures and place them on the recommended list. 
"Forget it, forget it. I'll stop thinking about these things. 
"Settlement is right around the corner. Zhongdian Chinese Network just has to finish spending that sum of money on my behalf. I don't have any more energy to look into these details." 
Pei Qian tossed his phone towards his bed and went into ostrich mode. 
He did not want to be bothered by anyone now. He just needed each business to spend all the additional money they had earned to ease the pressure off of himself. 
He was just about to take an afternoon nap when his cell phone rang again. He picked it up and saw that it was Assistant Xin. 
"Boss Pei, the official platform wants an exclusive interview with you to find out about your thought process behind the creation of your games." 
Pei Qian remained silent for a moment. "…I'm very busy now. Can I turn them down?"


I really just want to lose money! T_T
Best boss ever, prodigy of the business world, genius creator, visionary of the century.
These are the descriptions used for Pei Qian, President of Tengda Corporation.
Ever since his rebirth, Pei Qian finds himself in possession of a system that rewards him if he manages to lose money.
Instantly, a brilliant idea comes to mind — making crappy games!
"If the game flops, all my investment cost will be lost!"
"How difficult can it be to lose money?"
Indeed... how difficult can it be?
