Emica Kana is 18 years old. She has always loved writing stories., They were her escape from reality. She always wished that a man would come and save her like they always do in the stories.
Well, she got her wish.
Emica entered a small writing school that was near a river. Her friend had joined her. But, the teacher had an odd vibe around him. Emica became a little scared of him. She especially became scared when the teacher started to pay more attention to her. One day, when she runs from him, she falls into a world of adventure, risk, and abnormalities. 
But, her teacher is what scares her more than this new world. What secrets and schemes did he use to get her here?

With an idea in mind, there was only one thing left to do.
Lu Zhou borrowed the books he was still reading. He brought the books and printed papers back to his Zhongshan International mansion.
Every time before he went on a retreat, he would first take a ritualistic shower. After putting on a change of clothes, he sat down in his study room and took out a pen and paper.
[Define M~(k) as the following category:
[With object as h(X, e), where X is the smooth projective cluster on k, e is the idempotent element of the ring Corr0~(X, X) Q, and the morphism of Hom(h(X, e), h(Y,f)):=f·Corr0~(X,Y)Q.e…
[…]
The inspiration came in waves.
The speed of thoughts rushing into his brain was faster than the speed he could write at.
Lines of equations began to flow like waves, smashing against the rocky shore. The smooth pen tip danced on the paper, producing a harmony of mathematics.
Lu Zhou knew he couldn't write down all of the thoughts in his mind. He began to wonder if he could "write" down his equations faster in a virtual reality world?
However, after thinking about it, he dismissed this idea.
Any creative work required a high degree of concentrated thinking. The neural interface virtual reality system relied on a process of dream simulating. The more relaxed the user was, the more immersed they would feel.
Even though the virtual reality world felt like real life, and the user would clearly remember what happened in the dream, they wouldn't have access to the cognitive capacity for creative work.
He would be able to write faster, but there would be a decrease in his cognitive performance. That was undoubtedly a terrible trade-off.
"If I keep writing at this rate, I can probably produce some in-progress results by the end of the month…"
Three pages of draft paper were fully written. Lu Zhou leaned back in his chair and stared at the incomplete proof in front of him.
"The structure of the cohomology ring…
"And its invariant decomposition…"
There were only a few days until the end of the month.
Lu Zhou was determined.
He was going to stay at home until he finished writing the thesis.
…
While Lu Zhou was beginning a new round of retreat, at the Jin Ling University male dorms nearby, a young man energetically walked into one of the dorms and threw his bag on the chair. 
Duan Siqi, who was working on his mathematical analysis textbook, looked at him and asked, "What's the matter? Won a scholarship?"
Li Mo smiled proudly and waved his hand.
"Nope, there's no way you can guess it."
Yang Shuang, who was playing online chess, looked back and spoke.
"Then tell us?"
Li Mo unscrewed a bottle of water and took a sip. He quenched his thirst and said, "Professor Lu wants me to join his research project!"
The dorm went silent.
Duan Siqi, Yang Shuang, and Wu Di all looked shocked.
"The f*ck? No way, Professor Lu's research project? The Fields Medalist Professor Lu?"
Wu Di put down his phone and joined in on the conversation. He spoke with a look of disbelief.
"Really? An undergraduate student like you… Why would they want you?"
Li Mo wasn't amused by this, and he quickly made a comeback.
"So what if I'm an undergrad? I've already learned all my undergrad courses by myself! Also, Professor Lu said that scientific research is about putting in hard work. Whether you're an undergrad or a graduate student, as long as you have mastered the basic theoretical knowledge, you can try to build on top of your foundation using research." 
When Li Mo was speaking, he felt his cheeks turn red.
In fact, Professor Lu did not say this; this was said by one of Professor Lu's female students.
However, apparently that girl was one of Professor Lu's long-term students, and she was taught by him in high school.
Therefore, it sort of counted as Professor Lu saying it himself?
"Also, half of the Fields Medalists have won IMO gold medals! Like Schultz, who won the same year as Professor Lu. His p-adic number and perfect space theory are regarded as having one of the most potentials in algebraic geometry—"
Yang Shuang clicked on his computer screen and turned his head. He asked curiously, "What is p-adic number and perfect space?" 
"Sigh, I don't know too much about it either…"
Duan Siqi was sitting nearby. He was watching everything unravel in awe. After a while, he sighed.
I can't believe my roommate is so nutty, I feel so useless.
While the other students were playing League of Legends and shooting hoops at the playground, this guy was studying all of his undergrad courses. While they were cramming for exams, hoping not to fail, this guy was doing scientific research with God Lu.
Regardless of whether Li Mo was working side by side with Academician Lu, he was still in Academician Lu's team.
As long as Li Mo took this research seriously, it would hugely benefit his career and provide him a platform for the future.
Duan Siqi began to feel jealous.
There was nothing he could do to compete with a genius freak like Li Mo. No matter how hard he studied, he would never catch up with Li Mo.
But then again, Li Mo was an IMO full marks gold medalist. Forget about Jin Ling University, even Berkeley and Princeton would pay for him to study there.
Duan Siqi watched Yang Shuang struggling to understand Li Mo's explanation on perfect space and p-adic numbers. He suddenly felt a deep sense of frustration and didn't even want to study anymore. 
He took out his phone and saw the virtual reality game test invitation letter. 
The first public beta testing of the virtual reality system was scheduled to be at the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study, next Saturday.
He had no idea he would be selected. After all, tens of millions of people applied, and only two hundred people were selected.
This probably used up his luck for the rest of his life.
He was planning on studying on Saturday…
Duan Siqi looked at the invitation letter and began to think.
Should I go?


After suffering from a heat stroke while working under the scorching heat of summer, Lu Zhou, a hardworking but poor university student, somehow becomes the owner of an advanced technological system. With the cheat given by the system, his university life changes overnight. 
  
A Master's degree? Easy. 
  
PhD? Not a problem.   
  
From a nobody, he quickly becomes a huge celebrity in the world of science. With the missions given by the system, he is on his way to winning a Nobel Prize.   

"System, can points be exchanged for money?"
  
"No."
  
"F**k, what use are you then!?"
  
"This system will make you the ultimate scholar, the kind that lords over all of humanity. What use will money be to you?"

"He's different than what I expected" is the first thought that pops into my mind as I look at the scrawny kid in front of me. His hair is dark brown, almost black, and his eyes are a deep green similar to wet moss. His professor proceeds to explain that he is an undergraduate student that is a great writer. But is unsure if he should pursue this job or another, more stable job. His concerns are valid. Anyone in this field, especially me, is worried about what their future will look like. Writing is a tough industry to be in. One minute your book could be a success, the next minute it is sold online for a quarter. And that is only if you pursue a writing career. 

If you are an editor, jobs can be hard to find. Yes, everyone wants to be published and there are thousands of people every day who bring in book proposals, but editors only see the books that make it, interns or other workers take care of reading the manuscripts while the editors help the authors get to the next stage of advertising the book and making it a success by offering revisions that authors may or may not take. It is especially hard because editors need to stay on top of the social world because interests and the way people advertise change in a flash. It can be really frustrating sometimes. 

Putting my hand out, I introduce myself to the boy. He takes it with a firm shake that surprised me from his small build. He seems shy, but he has a confident shake and that is important in this industry. If you are not confident in yourself, no one else will be confident in you. I learned this very quickly in my internship. 

After a little bit of push and pull, I find out that his name is Shane and he is only a freshman with parents who want him to do accounting even though he barely passed his math class in high school. 

As the conversation continues, he becomes more and more open with me and his sentences get longer and longer. It makes me proud and happy that he is slowly opening up to me. I want to be her mentor and his friend. I don't want this to be strictly business. I have enough of that in my life. Plus, this will be my first friend post-trauma. This is a significant point in my life and I need to take advantage of this opportunity.  

"How would you like to have lunch today? Do you have any classes?" 

"No, I finished earlier. I have short days on Monday, Wednesdays, and Fridays, but my Tuesdays and Thursdays are absolutely dreadful." 

"Get used to that. If you are a writing major or minor, the majority of the classes are on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but as you get farther into your schooling, you will have Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays off."

He sits there silently for a moment or two, possibly contemplating what his future schedule is like. Remembering my earlier question, I redirect the conversation. 

"Would you like to have lunch today? You can ask me any questions that you would like and I will answer them the best that I can." 

"That would be great! Is there somewhere on or around campus we can go to? I don't have a car." 

"Of course! We can go to Starbucks and sit at one of the tables there. It shouldn't be too busy around this time." 

After saying goodbye to his professor, we walk over to Starbucks in friendly silence. It wasn't awkward, mostly because students were walking around here and there either talking to friends or on the phone.

I take Shane's order and tell him to find a table as I walk to the line. It's long as it usually is, but the workers are always quick to everyone's drinks out. A couple of minutes later, we are sitting across from each other at a small table in the corner. The volume is lower here, possibly because everyone sits in the middle, but it's nice. We can have a conversation without having to yell at each other. 

"Can you tell me a little bit about yourself?"

His question catches me slightly off guard, but I should have expected it. I mean, I am helping him choose whether writing is the career path that he wants to pursue. 

"Sure. Is there anything specific you want to know?" 

"No, not really. Maybe you can talk about how you first decided you wanted to write and what steps you took to get to where you are now." 

"Okay, let's see. I guess I can start from the beginning. Uh, I didn't have the best home life and I found that writing was something that always helped me calm down and cope. It still has the same effects today which is another reason I continued my writing career path. I find that inspiration is everywhere, even in places you don't expect, so as long as you know grammar skills and how to make characters rateable, you can write a story. 

"When I first started college, I really didn't know what I wanted to do. Similar to you, I was worried about the financial stability of having a writing career. It can be tricky, the market is always changing. And I needed money, I was on my own at that time and I had to take care of myself and some way to pay my tuition so my loans weren't as high as they would have been. I found a couple of apps where you could write and get paid. It wasn't much, but when I found out that people actually liked what I wrote, I became more motivated to get my words out there. 
"A couple of years later I was about to graduate with a bachelor's degree in writing. At this point, I had no idea what I could do with this degree or if I wanted to continue schooling. I looked up a few programs at colleges and decided to go to graduate school. I wanted a master's degree, at least, this way I could teach a writing course in high school if I could not find a job for a publishing house and I didn't have any ideas for a novel. 

"And then, last spring, I graduated with my master's degree and I work at a publishing house, not far from here, as an editor. But, I should back up a bit. When you are in graduate school, the program typically has a mandatory course where you have to intern at a location that you might be interested in working with after you graduate. I chose the publishing house I currently work at and interned there for the two years that it took to get my master's degree. After I graduated, they kept me on the team because they liked my work ethic, and I was friendly with the head of the editing department. It really helps to network no matter what field you are going into. 

"I think, if you really want to know whether writing is for you, you should give it a shot. I can mention your name to my boss and he may not be able to give you the job I had because you don't have a degree, but you can start as a lower-level employee and then work your way up."
He sits in his seat silently for a minute, absorbing all the information while he takes a couple of sips of his coffee. I don't blame him. I could have given him the condensed version of how I decided to be an editor.

"Wow. I feel like you. I have always used writing as a way out. I like being able to create my own world with it's own drama or-or a story with a happy ending that I can look forward to giving th charayeriers. It gives me hope that even if my life isn't going great at this moment, at least I can write about how I would like my life to be."

It is in this moment that I am more grateful than I could ever express for being introduced to Shane. He understands the need to write and how it provides an escape, a way out of reality and into a new world that we can mold anyway we want to. For us, it is another, happier, life. 

"It is great to have someone who understands the impact of writing. Just hearing you talk makes me certain that you should be a writer. Of course, discuss this with your parents, they can be tough, but I would use some of your electives to take a few writing courses, preferably creative writing, so you can see if this is the right fit for you."

"Thank you. I would like to try to get an internship at the place you work. Would you be able to give me someone's contact who I can call to set up an interview?" 

"Of course. When I go to work, I will ask my boss whose number to give to you. I am really glad that we were able to do this. Would you like to meet again sometime?"

"Yes, if I want to convince my parents to let me pursue this, I need to have all the facts."

"Great, let me know when you want to meet again. You have my number, just call or text me and we will set something up." 

"Thanks again, Rose. I will see you soon." 

"See you then." 

He leaves the table taking his coffee with him. I am glad we were able to do this. I think this is definitely going to help me, and in the process, help him as well.

Rose is the typical college-girl who goes unnoticed but secretly craves adventure, and someone to share her life with. Being a college senior with a writing major, she needs to find someone to give her the inspiration for her first novel. The next day, she bumps into Brandon, who has a secret stepbrother, Damon, who is running from a dangerous past. Together, the boys give Rose everything she has always wanted: excitement, family, and inspiration. However, not everything is perfect. Damon’s past is quickly catching up to him and Rose may be in more danger than she bargained for.

Hello! Author here. Felt like this would be a long note, and the author's thought won't be enough.

Just wanted to let everyone know what kind of web novel this is and how I'm treating it.

First off, I'm only going to do this in my spare time. So I won't be doing daily updates anytime soon. I still have my work which pays the bills, and sadly, writing does not. So unless I'm getting paid for this (enough to cover my bills), then I won't be making it full time. Which leads me to the second note.

I'm writing as a hobby, hence I won't sugarcoat the fact that I'm still an amateur writer. No amount of online courses or teachings won't make me a celebrated writer overnight. Which is why I'm not seeking monetary remuneration from this at all. I'm simply writing for fun, and I will use this medium to improve myself in the future. My plan is to finish this web novel and then hopefully, get a professional editor at that point before self-publishing it for myself. 

So I'll continue with my weekly (sometimes twice a week) releases until then. I don't want to drag the story around until I reach 1000 chapters, so the arcs and volumes might be shorter than the other web novels out there. If this part bothers you then I'm sure there are hundreds of other web novels that publish more than 10 chapters a week. 

Moving forward.

Somebody (bravocube) has actually taken the time to create a narration for the first chapter! So stoked! Here's a link to the narration:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ua2iGCDo5cQ

The decision that Scarlet made wasn't an easy one. For an artiste or celebrity whose fame had just begun to grow, taking a hiatus from work was akin to never being able to return to the showbiz world. The lifespan of a celebrity is short and a hiatus could permanently impair future opportunities. Yet, under Alex's convincing, Scarlet still decided to let go what she had built up so far.
"Are you sure about it?" Pamela asked. Jupiter Records was not only losing their biggest source of revenue but also their biggest talent from the decision. While the CEO of the recording company had nothing but gratitude towards Scarlet, Pamela was faced with mixed emotions at Scarlet's decision to leave. The five-year contract was coming to an end and Scarlet decided that she wouldn't renew it.
Orita was overjoyed when she heard that Scarlet was coming home. At the same time, Alex decided to slow down on her work and attend an art school to become an illustrator. The sisters decided to still focus on their luxury brand's business while studying and the butler was more than happy to be of assistance. Orita also offered to help manage it on their behalf so that her daughters could focus on school.
When Wilmer heard about Alex and Scarlet's decision to go back to study for their degree, the CEO asked if Jasper was going to do the same. Unfortunately for him, the young start-up founder wasn't keen.
"Maybe in a few years," he replied and nobody could persuade him otherwise. Jake was also unable to get Jasper to reconsider so they let the matter rest.
The announcement that soon followed after the Golden Pineapple Collaboration announcement caused yet another huge wave. With both Wilde daughters announcing their official hiatus from the entertainment industry, there were many conspiracy theories surfacing on the internet. While some theories were convincing and entertaining, others were absurd and ridiculous. Whichever it was, the internet was set ablaze with both Wilde sisters becoming hot topic searches.
Ming Yang was rather understanding about Scarlet's decision and told the young singer not to worry. He would still continue his investigations and uphold his part of the bargain while Scarlet attended school. Scarlet promised to keep in touch with the CEO and agreed that she would be in frequent contact with him about Golden Frost's collaboration.
There was still some time before the school term and bridging program started for the sisters so after they announced their hiatus, Orita booked a two week trip for mother and daughters to go on a cruise. She trusted her butler to handle the necessary preparations for the university applications and left everything else to the servants.
When Wilmer heard that his wife and daughters were spending some quality mother-daughter bonding time over a two-week cruise trip, he could only cry bitter tears of envy. Orita showed no pity for her husband and chided him over the hologram device. Scarlet and Alex giggled in the background as Wilmer whimpered. Orita then told him to hurry up and finish his work so that they could go on their second honeymoon trip to make up for the lost time.
Wilmer's eyes softened and he sighed with a small smile, knowing full well that it might be impossible again this year. Up till now, the CEO still hasn't found much about Anastasia. With Danny and Elfie's help, they were able to prevent Anastasia's influence from growing any larger but the threat still remained. EZ Express may not be as powerful and rich, unlike the Wilde empire that had grown and expanded over the years. However, Anastasia has been up to some really shady deals. All those government contract jobs that EZ Express won sounded fishy to Wilmer and Danny was currently assisting him to investigate further.
Orita knew that look. Wilmer didn't like lying to her and he wasn't the kind of person who would make false promises just to make her happy. It was one of the things that made her fall for him but also one of the things that frustrated her most about him. Not wanting to put her hardworking and secretive husband in a spot, Orita shifted the conversation to a more cheerful topic.
"Alex and Scarlet are finally going to pursue higher education. Can you guess what courses they are applying for?"
Wilmer looked at Alex who had a mischievous grin and Scarlet who had mastered the art of poker face.
"Alex is going for a design course, right? I heard that you want to be an illustrator?" Wilmer guessed and Alex pouted.
"Someone must have told you! How did you know?"
Wilmer laughed. It's nice to know that his daughter hadn't changed all that much over the years. Alex was still very much an open book and after six years, he was happy that he still hasn't lost touch yet.
"But daddy, I'm not just studying how to be an illustration. To be more precise, I'm going for a double art major in fashion and design."
"Oh?" Wilmer was surprised. "Is it related to Golden Frost?"
Alex smiled. "Of course! I'm actually the lead designer for Golden Frost and I come up with a lot of the concepts for the products produced. Scarlet's more of the business brain for our brand."
Orita and Wilmer were impressed by the detailed plans about Golden Frost and Scarlet turned a riper shade of red with every passing minute as Alex continued to sing her praises. Unable to endure the embarrassment, Scarlet begged her sister to stop much to her parents' amusement.
When it came to guessing what course Scarlet wanted to study, the CEO was surprised to know that the singer wasn't going to learn creative writing or journalism. It wasn't even media-related.
"Could it be business? So that you can run Golden Frost better or help Jasper with Kiwi Cat Studio?"
Scarlet shook her head. "I actually thought about it but eventually decided against it. Like writing, it isn't necessary to study business just to do well in it. I've chosen something more abstract that can help me achieve what I'm looking for in every aspect of my life."
Even with the hint, Wilmer still wasn't able to guess it. He did come close on his fifth guess when he mentioned psychology but Scarlet didn't let her father go so easily. Eventually, Wilmer had to give up much to Orita's amusement.
"Darling, don't be sad. I don't blame you at all. The course Scarlet chose surprised me initially too," Orita tried to cheer her husband up and Scarlet took pity on her father.
"I'm going to study philosophy," she told him with a shy smile.
It was true that Scarlet spent a long time after she decided to pursue her further studies. Although Alex told her a lot about the courses available in universities within New York, Scarlet didn't like any of the courses they offered. They might be useful but for a writer like her whose talent is in researching, none of what the university offered appealed to her.
Business was something that could easily be learnt and picked up from the numerous books that people have already written. Art was subjective. Music wasn't interesting because she was already a professional after working with Lin Lin for so long. Creative writing wasn't interesting because Scarlet's style of writing was unique to her and she'd already learnt from Debbie all the writing techniques that they taught in universities when she was younger. There really wasn't anything new.
Scarlet did think about studying psychology because they had a course called criminology. She wondered if studying that would give her the skills necessary in order to catch Anastasia. However, she soon realised that it wasn't a rosy path. Even if she studied and graduated as the top of her class in psychology, she wasn't going to be offered a position in the international criminal investigation department. Elfie's involvement was a special case and Scarlet knew that even if she was accepted to participate in the raid, Wilmer would never allow it.
Hence, she decided on the one that looked the most interesting that was rather similar to psychology but different in its own way. The singer thought that psychology and philosophy was the same thing at first but after two nights of in-depth research, she now understood that they were complete opposites.
While psychology was backed up by numbers and data, philosophy was built upon expression of thought. Psychology was science but philosophy was art. It was a no-brainer after that discovery and Scarlet quickly made her mind up.
Wilmer was slightly surprised at the choice but after thinking about it, he smiled and praised Scarlet for choosing something that he thought was perfect for her. To study something so abstract was something that they would expect out of Scarlet. Over the years, Wilmer and Orita had learnt to expect the unexpected with the young writer who was vastly different in both mentality and capability when compared to Alex. If Alex was like a steady tractor then Scarlet would be like a robotic vacuum cleaner.
The call ended not long after and Scarlet was excited. In less than a month, she would be going for her bridging program at the university. While not much had changed, she could finally relax a little and be herself now that she was no longer scrutinised by the public.
"I can't wait to go to school and not need to wear make-up and diet all the time," she told Alex who agreed.
"It'll be great to be able to wear a loose hoodie and jeans again. I hate heels!"
Orita sighed at her daughters' conversation with a small loving smile. It was nice to have her family back.


At age 10, Scarlet Liu Xiu Wen was tested with a Mensa IQ of 156.

By age 12, she was publishing books with the pen name Permanent Frost. By age 14, she was a successful vocalist-composer in the band called Britannia. By age 16 Scarlet had a successful career as a model and actress going by the stage name of Liu Xiu Wen.

However, there was a secret that the world didn't know. Away from the limelight, Scarlet took on yet another persona online as Pirate S - the eccentric half-genius. Everyone who lurked in the forums knew her name. Known for her unusual takes on life and mostly popularly for her "Human Observation Diary" blog, Scarlet enjoys the nerd life in secret.

Human Observation Diary has always kept to a very standard format but one day, a reader pointed out that the blog has recently been differing from its usual format. Intrigued by the trigger, Scarlet investigates her latest human observation - an online NEET by the name of Jedd77.

From further interactions, Scarlet finds herself helplessly drawn to him. As their friendship develops into something more, Scarlet has to make a choice.

To give up her secrecy and allow Jedd77 to be a part of her life? Or continue the game of cat and mouse even after the face reveal.

Note: Slow progress. Talks of some darker topics in life eg: Depression, PTSD, adoption and acceptance.

Drama seekers, toxic bitches and overly-sensitive folks who cannot chillax not welcomed. Author also has indemnity to typo, grammar mistakes and English bugs throughout the story.

You have been warned. Proceed with caution and enjoy.

Hello my fellow writers/readers and thanks to all who have read this book over the past two & half years. The novel has undergone minor changes multiple times before but there's a new change coming that will benefit the novel and series going forward. For those who may have liked the book in its current version and for those who by chance didn't, there is another version of the book coming in 2021. For the past several months I have been working out the overall story arch of the series; after much deliberation I decided to go back & revise/retool certain aspects of the main plot-line and do a considerable amount of World-building. I chose to do this because I started writing this whole series back in 2006-2007 and I was only in my late teens at the time, to me personally the book didn't really read like it was written from a mature/experienced writer. 

So, since I've been taking courses for Creative Writing at Southern New Hampshire University for some time now I've gained a lot of experience as an author. Because of this I felt that the only way to truly be able to continue to write the series that I've spent half my life working on was to go back and write the story the way I envisioned back when I was a teenage, except that now I have the experience and skills needed to tackle this. Now, with me saying there's a new version or what I've been calling a 'Definitive Edition' on my social media pages doesn't mean that 'Dawn of the Gatekeepers' is being scraped, you can still purchase it if you choose at @Smashwords.com/books/view/893010. This new version of the book is: 1. Going to be the same story that's in 'Dawn of the Gatekeepers'  right now & 2. This new version will be in the category of Epic Fantasy, whereas the current version is more YA themed. 

As of now 'Dawn of the Gatekeepers' has a 63,620 word count, which puts it in the category of YA Fantasy. This new version titled 'Millennium' will have around a 110,000 word count. 'Millennium' will open up completely different vs how 'Dawn of the Gatekeepers' does. 'Dawn' throws the reader into the middle of the story and has the reader following multiple time lines that Catch up to each other as the plot moves forward, 'Millennium' however opens with the 'inciting incident'/'call to adventure' within the opening chapters whereas 'Dawn' doesn't, but instead has you on a quest with the main characters to figure out what caused the inciting incident only to show it later on in the book. This wasn't initially how I intended to tell the story. Initially 'Dawn' was just a Novella that I wrote as a companion piece to the first book that I wrote in 2010 which is now a soon to published spin-off novel of 'Millennium'. Unfortunately, I caught a very, very bad case of writers block; the weird thing was that I could write other projects just not anything Gatekeepers related.  So I ended up writing origin stories for multiple characters as weekly assignments for my creative writing intro course at the time, ironically all those characters became either main characters or secondary characters within 'Dawn' a year or so later.

So to sum it all up, 'Millennium' is the broader/more immersive version of 'Dawn of the Gatekeepers'. Its the same story, but more descriptive, more world building, and the main character 'Alicia Iminz' will be written from first person perspective instead of third person. I decided that to give readers a more immersive feel to the book it would be best to do this. Plus its not fun writing everyone in third person and with this new format for writing the main character you the 'reader' will be able to know who your supposed to care about, you'll be able to get inside the head of the main character and gain an understanding of the world the she and the rest of the cast inhabit.

"If there are infinite dimensions, then there would be infinite alternate realities and if there are infinite alternate realities, we would exist in almost all of them that would make all of us omnipresent" ~ Stanley Victor Paskavich.

In the distant future mankind has achieved a multitude of technological milestones, created a method of FTL known as ‘Millennium Drives’ and have been discovered by intelligent life from outside of the Milky Way Galaxy. Unbeknownst to the mortal realm a young woman from another realm has risen from the ashes of her tyrannical ‘Overlords’ and will soon leave her mark upon the universe.

Centuries in the future within a realm unknown to mortals, a malicious war wages on between the Celestial kingdoms of Paradia. There are the oppressive God Collective; descendants of an ancient Celestial race who are committed to purging the Five Realms of the self-righteous and divine Goddesses. Both factions have not openly declared war upon another, but instead have initiated multiple proxy wars against each other. These proxy wars have been fought by the Monoliths; a Celestial hive mind race that numbered somewhere in the billions with a strong warrior culture, they pledged their loyalty to the God Collective. The Goddesses were too passive to raise an army of their own, instead they relied on a secret order of Mystics they had trained. These Mystics were few in number but were tactically superior to the Monoliths who unlike the Mystics couldn’t harness the power of the Ember; the Ember was a living cosmic essence that resided within the Realms and was responsible for mortals and celestials possessing supernatural abilities.

After a millennium of war and casualties in the hundreds of millions, the Collective and Goddesses called a cease fire and signed a treaty which stated the two sides would govern over Paradia together. The Goddesses were reluctant at first, but after concluding that the Collective’s military was exhausted and with their own forces dwindling, they signed. The Goddesses chose to sign the treaty because two of their council members had foreseen events within the future that would cause war to plague Paraida again. Only this time they would have an army led by a mysterious warrior whose face was shrouded in darkness, with neither council member able to identify them. So, the Goddesses stayed vigilant as they ruled Paradia alongside the Collective as they waited for their time to come.

That time would come almost two thousand years later during a time of relative calm throughout the realms. Over the millennia the Collective used their armies to oppress the populace of their respective kingdoms. This oppression came in the form of stringent workforce directives, children being enforced into hard labor conditions, an increase in taxes and fear being used to break the will of the citizens. But all of this would be unseen by the Collective as their greatest threat had just been discovered. Viennashal Iminz, a Goddess of the High Council and supreme ruler of Galaxia Prime has been keeping her daughter Alicia hidden away within the kingdom for years unbeknownst to the Collective, but this young Celestial has the blood of mortals coursing through her veins. Viennashal attempted to keep her daughter’s existence a secret, but the Collective had spies everywhere. With her daughter’s existence now known Viennashal will stop at nothing to guarantee her daughters safety; even if it means going to war. Because if the visions were true than her offspring would be the undoing of the Collective.

Online live streaming had become a hot topic recently. There were experts who criticized online broadcasters, whether to their faces or behind their backs, for using their looks or scanty attire to make money off fans, while they themselves hated that they couldn't just stand in front of a screen to give an academic lecture and make hundreds of thousands each month easily.
But not just anyone could make a living through live streaming. This was the age of beauty. For example, there were countless cases nowadays of blind dates falling flat when the reality of a person's looks didn't match expectations. If someone wanted to make a name for themselves on an online platform, they needed to have the type of face that was popular online, or at the very least, a pleasant-looking one.
But who knew, maybe someone with a blood-red figure, butterfly-blue hair, and the face of Third Young Master Tang, singing "Ah~~ five~~ rings" might be able to make it big[1]. 
At least, it would be a more festive sight.
Little Xuan had greatly inspired Father Wang; live streaming could be considered a universal subject, something which was very immersive and fun. But the thing he now had to consider was how to develop this theme and make it even more interesting.
After hearing Little Xuan's suggestion, Father Wang hurriedly expressed his thanks to everyone in the live stream, then logged off right away.
Seeing Wang Jiaomei's profile icon turn gray, the people online all immediately knew… this almighty big shot in the world of web novels was about to make his move!
This time… what kind of carnage was he going to wreck?
Father Wang was quite an efficient person, which was reflected in everything he did. For example, in the time it took to boil water, he could easily finish three things at once while he was on the toilet bowl: eating, reading the newspaper, and squabbling with trolls in the online book review section by switching between the hundreds of alternate IDs which he owned.
That evening, he burned the midnight oil finishing a basic outline and synopsis, and even finished the first chapter of his new book.
The title: The Live Streaming Life of the Immortal King
A brief introduction: This is a story about the daily life of a cultivation master who is unable to suppress the prehistoric powers inside his body, and who sells meng[2] online by live streaming his daily immortal cultivation life on earth.
"…"
Wang Ling had been looking at Father Wang's computer screen the whole time and felt an underlying sense of foreboding.
Given Father Wang's current skill level in writing, it was very quick and easy for him to write an opening chapter. After checking for spelling mistakes several times from top to bottom, Father Wang then clicked his mouse and directly sent the file to his chief editor.
Father Wang's chief editor was called Song Zikai and his editor code name was Lie Shou. People in the industry had given this big editor the nickname "Lie Mengmeng." When he had paid a visit to the house before, Wang Ling had used his supernatural Eye Ability to check out this person's name card. This was the only editor whom Father Wang had met in real life since entering the web novel industry more than ten years ago. He was a very frail youth who looked like a shou[3]; he seemed like he would tip over in a breeze, and his very neat fringe gave people the sense that he was very pure.
With the computer on, Father Wang made a cup of tea and waited in silence for a while. Very soon, he heard a ping! — Chief Editor Song had replied!
This gold star editor was also an excellent publicist. The average time he took to check a manuscript was just thirty seconds, which was an especially mystical feat to Wang Ling.
From Wang Ling's quick glance at the email reply, the theme was very attractive and Father Wang's writing was fine. But given the stunning performance of Father Wang's first book, along with his current online prestige, Lie Mengmeng decided he should write a few more chapters. After they added up to more than twenty thousand words, only then would he upload it onto the website to test the waters.
Wang Ling had heard about this website before — it was a separate VIP novel website specially set up by the Cultivation Reading Network for readers who were their highest-ranked users and had been registered with them for more than one hundred years. On this separate website, they could read the drafts of new works by top-ranked writers beforehand and leave them messages to tell them their thoughts or offer suggestions.
Gazing at the email reply, Father Wang was silent for a while, but finally he nodded in acceptance. After all, Wang Situ this pen name was a godhead that had taken him years to build and perfect. Given that he didn't know how marketable his second book could be, Father Wang really didn't dare release it casually — if it didn't pass the test, his godship would collapse! As for himself… wouldn't he become a complete joke in the industry?!
Wang Ling was speechless at this. "…" This one pen name had been able to attract three hundred thousand people to a live streaming platform that had absolutely nothing to do with web novels — how could online nobodies compare with that and f**king survive?!
...
In the morning, Mother Wang had finished preparing breakfast, which was made up of fried bread sticks, soybean milk and her specialty, rejuvenation noodles. Mother Wang untied her apron strings and shouted up the stairs. "The two of you, come down and eat!"
Wang Ling gazed at the table full of dishes and was almost moved to tears… after the torture that had been Mother Juan's black cuisine during those few days at No. 59 High School, it was perhaps only Mother Wang's personally cooked dishes that could fix his wounded heart.
As they ate, Father Wang pushed his black-rimmed glasses up and stared closely at Wang Ling for a bit before he sighed. "Tch, you seem to have grown fatter these last four days."
Wang Ling touched his face and felt that his cheeks had indeed seemed to have gotten meatier… this was probably because he had eaten Mother Juan's cooking and it was now fermenting in his stomach.
It didn't matter though, as losing weight had never been difficult for him…
Wang Ling rubbed his cheeks vigorously with both hands, and like plasticine, the fat on his face was instantly smoothed out.
 "…" Even this could f**king work?!
This was the first time that Father and Mother Wang had witnessed this ability of his.
Father Wang ate a mouthful of rejuvenation noodles. "These last four days, how was it, living in a large group?"
Wang Ling was taken aback, but in the end shook his head.
"I heard that when Ming Ming brought you the talisman seal, a lot of things happened?"
Wang Ling nodded.
Father Wang sighed. "Actually, I think you're just too nervous. Maybe if you act more naturally, nothing will happen. You should spend more time with your peers, understand?"
Wang Ling continued nodding.
"Enough! Why bring this up when we're eating!"
Mother Wang interrupted Father Wang. "But Ling Ling, don't forget to do a bit of homework revision these two days. Although you shouldn't do too well, you shouldn't be at the bottom of the class, at least. Just study whatever is necessary. I've already asked about the classes you missed, and I especially made the trip to school to pick up the review materials. It should be enough for you to take a few minutes later to have a quick look at them."
 "Okay." Concise and comprehensive, this was the first word Wang Ling had spoken after coming home.
In truth, he didn't need to review courses like Dao talismans and magical skills at all. But for courses like history and political science, he still had to spend some time memorizing the materials. Even for top students in the elite class like Feather Lin and Lotus Sun, catching up on one week's worth of classes and digesting the knowledge would still take them a whole day.
In contrast, it was a lot more convenient for Wang Ling, who could use his speed reading and memorization skills… mother never has to worry about my studies[4]!
But Wang Ling didn't want to be disturbed by anyone after he started his wonderful weekend of study, especially when he was using his quick memorization skill. If someone disturbed him at that time, it was highly possible it would result in him remembering things wrongly.
And so, to prevent this from happening, Wang Ling opened up his stationery pouch…
The monster pen and goblin eraser that he had created with magic previously could help him maintain order.
[1] Basically, the author is giving an example of someone bizarre enough who might be able to break into the live stream market. Third Young Master Tang is the pseudonym of a very famous web novelist, and "five rings" is from the popular 'Song of the Fifth Ring,' a song by Chinese rapper MC Hotdog.
[2] Adapted from the original Japanese word moe 萌え, the word 萌 or meng in pinyin can simply mean "cute," but at a deeper level, also refers to feeling fondness, devotion or excitement for someone.
[3] As a reminder, shou is used to describe the person who is the bottom in a BL relationship.
[4] This tagline is from a Chinese TV ad for an electronic device produced under BBK Electronics which helps teach children how to read.


As a cultivation genius who has achieved a new realm every two years since he was a year old, Wang Ling is a near-invincible existence with prowess far beyond his control. But now that he’s sixteen, he faces his greatest battle yet - Senior High School. With one challenge after another popping up, his plans for a low-key high school life seem further and further away...
Wang Ling: I just want to eat my crispy noodle snacks in peace...
Father Wang: If you're careless enough to destroy the country, it’s coming out of your pocket money. 
Wang Ling: It’s not my fault that the backlash from punching me kills you.

Private editors - pros take from 17 to 30 dollars for 1700 words.

Prices for editing 1000 words fluctuate according to Google from 2 to 15 dollars. It is likely that older schoolchildren and college students of native speakers or in whom English is the second language (the legacy of empires) undertakes such editing. The level and quality of the translation will undoubtedly be higher (ours in which English is the third language). But since our level of knowledge is not very good, how can we evaluate the quality of editing? Need means another expert who would test the knowledge of the editor before starting work and paying. And this is an additional cost.

The easiest option (until you make money for a paid editor) is a machine editor, but not everything is smooth there either.

The second option is to learn English grammar yourself (but it takes time and money).

The third option is to find a free editor, but it will edit you from the kindness of sincere Chapter 5! You should be very grateful to him for this. After all, he spent his time on you and shared valuable knowledge.

And so I'm not sure that you will find an editor who can read all the chapters - 100-200-300 with the number of words from 80,000 to 300,000 for your simple thanks. I have not met such people yet. But probably they are?


I had an idea, in 2018 I am going to popularize the subject of the Silk Ooty. But in fact, all authors write what is close to their spirit, what they read or want to share their thoughts with others. And others just make a little money.

Moreover, writing is far from the most reliable and fastest way to earn money. If you also do not know the word very well.

In fact, it's faster to earn money by selling ads on YouTube or by taking food photos, although, of course, the sales hit has already passed.

Having a camera for $ 500-900, another $ 1,000 for gadgets, such as tripods, backlights. shadows, and other things, plus quality photo courses for $ 1000. If you have $ 3,000, then in half a year you will learn how to shoot so that your photographs will take "drains" at first, the authors will receive the first months from $ 50 to $ 200. For the second year, from 500 to 700 dollars. At the same time, they cook, sell their creations - jams, pastries, sell their ideas on healthy eating. Someone prepares healthy breakfasts or o-Bentos in offices, the prices are naturally higher, they are calculated for the rich office workers of foreign enterprises, state-owned companies.

Some go to flea markets, where they buy old dishes from their grandmothers for a penny, and then they sell it, bringing a little beauty for money in their online stores.

Money is flowing. Some go to Japan or South Korea to open online stores and make money again. Selling their products in their homeland, and some special items from their homeland in Japan or Korea. By the way, here you can write such a short story about different ways to make money. The fjord of short stories. Chapters 60-80.

Quick ways to make money!

In the meantime, I have three ideas to write new short stories. But to start writing new, not finishing the old, somehow does not look quite right. This will only show readers that the author is scattered with ideas, and at the same time, without burning desire, to bring the story to the end.

My Bro on the Tao is right if he really decided to start writing a new story, finish the old one. Even if the end is far-fetched, not entirely logical, but this is the end of the story. If desired, then you can write further if of course there are new thoughts.

So far I have 4 completed novels. You can write another 53 chapters and complete one novel, another rather than a novel, but a tool for evaluating, expressing thoughts about writing novels. discussion of issues. The third in the municipality can be completed now and then write the second season since it was more likely a short story. Then only the main novel will remain and you can start writing small stories voicing new ideas.

And later they will rewrite the story of adventurers and treasure hunters, compiling the story with already completed storybooks. And thus write a good romance with romance, cooking, adventure, and treasures.

Then it remains only to find a good editor. But the prof will take about $ 1,000 for a book of 80,000 words and not the pros, is a student native speaker from Asia probably 200-300 dollars?
This is considered a very good salary for us for 1 month of work.

Well, if at the same time he agrees to edit, and his editing will be at least average. Then one could try. But for now, it's all just a dream.

In all likelihood, I will slowly finish some novels in order to move on to new stories.

Thoughts of why and why stories are written.

All the same English, he has not improved in 18 days.

I'll figure something out, try to correct the text.

Pei Qian took a sip of his tea and continued, "We will only offer fixed-rate contracts for the top writers on our website."
"That's because the terms of this contract are better. It's equivalent to giving a benefit to the authors of our website. We will not provide such benefits until other authors prove their strength."
"The total word count should be between 10,000 to 500,000 words for a fixed-rate contract. They cannot exceed 500,000 words."
"The fixed-rate contract will be calculated based on triple the revenue that the author earned from his previous books. For example, the original royalty contract of the author's previous book was about 1,000 yuan per 1,000 words. Then, the royalties for this book would be 3,000 words per 1,000 words."
"There is no minimum requirement to update. They can write as much as they want. Slow work will produce fine work."
"What's more, we don't accept complete originality, we can only write custom-made novels. We provide IPs for the authors."
Pei Qian could not help but be impressed by his own intelligence after he finished speaking.
Fixed-rate Contracts and customizing. Wouldn't he be able to wipe out all the famous authors on Zhongdian Chinese Network and cripple them?
Those who read online literature often knew that fixed-rate contracts and customizing was the easiest way to produce rubbish works.
That was because the first prerequisite for creating good works was freedom.
Authors could only write outstanding works if they were free to write about topics that they were good at and had strong drive in.
If an author who was good at writing sci-fi novels had to write romance novels, the things he wrote would definitely be horrible.
On the other hand, custom-made works were often works th\at the client had a certain need for commercial publicity. At that time, the author's creative thinking would definitely be restricted by the client.
The client would definitely suggest some changes or interfere with the author's outline in order for the works to meet their requirements. On the other hand, the author would not be able to create the works according to his own ideas. His attitude would be different and would not be able to produce 120% of the works.
That was because the first target of custom-made text was the client, not the reader. Thus, there was a high chance that it would not be liked by the reader.
On top of the restrictions on custom-made novels, the fixed-rate contract would further dampen the author's creativity.
That was because fixed-rate contracts meant that there would be a steady income. The cost of the custom-made text was also very high. The author only had to use a little bit of brainpower to bring the works to about 60 points to complete the client's requirements. There was no need to work hard to write 80 or even 100 points.
He would not be able to do it because his creative freedom was not high enough and the theme was not good enough even if he wanted to write to 100 marks.
Thus, Pei Qian had released this trump card of customization and the fixed-rate contract to "bribe" all the top writers of Zhongdian Chinese Network.
It was all about earning money for these authors irregardless of whether they were on royalties or fixed-rate contracts. How they chose would depend on which one earned more money.
It would be easier to write custom-made designs. The amount of royalties calculated by word count would almost double. He could earn as much money as he used to after writing casually every day. Why not?
If the royalties previously were 1,000 yuan per 1,000 words, he could earn 300,000 yuan per month by writing 300,000 words. According to the purchase order, the royalties would be tripled. He could earn the same amount of money by writing 100,000 words each month.
However, the workload was greatly reduced!
While the fixed-rate contract system was voluntary and not mandatory, Pei Qian felt that no one would reject such a good offer, right?
Who would go against money?
That way, the authors' income would not be affected and Pei Qian's purpose would be achieved if the website incurred losses.
Ma Yiqun obviously knew this very well. That was why he looked shocked. He did not know what Boss Pei was up to.
While it was up to the authors to decide whether they wanted to sell their book or not, only a few of the head writers would reject it based on the current price.
Of course, it was a good thing for the authors, but it seemed to be very risky for the website. If they were not careful, it would cause huge losses.
Ma Yiqun pondered for a moment and asked, "Boss Pei, are there any other restrictions on this fixed-rate contract? What if no one reads the novel written by the author? Can you ask him to finish the novel in advance or force him to edit it?"
Pei Qian shook his head. "There are no other restrictions. However, there is a requirement for the word count. Each book has to be written at ten to five hundred thousand words. If it exceeds five hundred thousand words, they will not be paid. They will have to start another book."
The reason why he set the word count requirement was mainly to create difficulties for the authors who were used to writing long chapters.
At the moment, the standard word count for online novels was two to three million words. No matter how long it was, there were many people who could write five million words or more.
Therefore, when the authors first set the story outline, they were used to setting the entire text above two million words. If the great authors could write something famous, they would definitely be more familiar with it.
However, now they had to compress the story to a hundred to five hundred thousand words and write a short story. That would be using a creative way that they were not good at.
On the other hand, most readers of online novels liked to read long works and were not interested in short stories.
That way, the possibility of making money from novels would be further reduced.
Ma Yiqun asked again, "We can terminate the purchase agreement if the authors write a few rubbish novels, right?"
Pei Qian wanted to say no, but he felt that it did not make any sense. An author had been producing rubbish, but the website was still buying out his work at extremely high royalties from him. It did not make sense and was too unreasonable.
Thus, after some consideration, he decided to adopt a relatively neutral plan. "If the results of two consecutive books are very bad, let the author revert back to a royalty contract. He can continue with the fixed-rate contract when he's doing well again."
That way, authors who wanted to slack off would be able to continue writing with a fixed-rate contract and cheat money after writing a novel with royalty contracts. The rules of the website were basically 'come and cheat me of my money' and 'this fool has a lot of money' written on it.
Ma Yiqun asked again, "What type of custom-made novels should there be?"
"Can we take on some custom-made novels from other companies?"
Pei Qian immediately shook his head. "No! We can only write with the IP that Tengda has."
Ma Yiqun: "…"
He might still be able to make a profit if he could accept custom-made novels from other companies.
For example, if some popular online games needed to be promoted, Ma Yiqun could recommend his outstanding authors to the company, ask the company to fork out money, and ask the authors to write them. That way, Zhongdian Chinese Network could earn a sum of advertising fees.
However, Boss Pei rejected that possibility on the spot!
According to Boss Pei, the restrictions on custom-made novels were really strange.
It could not be purely original nor could it be custom-made by other companies. It could only be Tengda's IP.
What was Tengda's IP?
Ma Yiqun gave it some thought. This included the various games that Tengda had developed, such as Repent and be Saved, Ocean Stronghold, Struggle, and so on.
This included the short videos and films that Fei Huang Workspace had already shot, such as Tomorrow is Beautiful and the current filming of Mission and Choice;
That included the various IP images bought from GOG, as well as original hero characters like Modest and Ruan;
Including the various superhero characters in the works of Hurricane Comics;
Other than that, some of the popular novels on Zhongdian Chinese Network and other miscellaneous things were considered Tengda's IP.
It did look like a lot, but what was the point of customizing these things?
The only use was to fill up the entire "Tengda Universe" 's story storage. However, many of the IPs did not need to be filled up at all: The content of the original work had already been expressed very clearly and thoroughly. Why did it still have to continue?
Would these authors be able to write stories that were comparable to the original works if they wrote them seriously? Ma Yiqun did not think so at all. That was because many of the original works were personally written by Boss Pei. These authors would not be able to catch up even if they tried.
What's more, it was still a loss compared to the money spent on buying these works.
That was because the purchase strategy this time was not only targeted at one author, but all of Zhongdian Chinese Network's top authors. If these authors were determined to deceive and cheat money, Zhongdian Chinese Network would spend a lot of money on rubbish. It would be very difficult to guarantee the website's interests.
Ma Yiqun pondered for a long time, but he was still very confused by Boss Pei's decision.
However, Ma Yiqun did not say much seeing Boss Pei's confident expression.
Boss Pei's actions were always so unpredictable after all. No matter how ridiculous and strange Boss Pei's decisions looked at the beginning, they were proven to have deeper meaning and were extremely successful.
Thus, Ma Yiqun nodded. "Alright, Boss Pei. I'll make the arrangements soon."
Pei Qian was very satisfied with his attitude. "Yes, very good."
"On top of that, there's another matter regarding the authors' class."
"This class has been running for some time. It's time to make some improvements."
"My idea is to create another 'inspiration class' based on this study class."
"Gather all the top writers, especially those who have decided to write custom-made novels, and join this inspiration class."
"In the inspiration class, we will prepare a large number of novels, movies, and games for them. We asked them to collect materials from them every day. Then, they would exchange their writing skills and knowledge and recommend games or movies that they think are fun."
"For this inspiration class, there must be some initial investment. For example, the monitor must be big, the earphones must be good, the seats must be comfortable, and the various resources inside must be directly purchased from the original, ultra-high-definition blue-light discs to provide the best viewing experience for everyone."
"In the previous class, the authors could only write and check their information. They could not do anything else. In this inspiration class, the authors could only do things related to collecting inspiration. They could only write for two hours every day for eight hours."
Ma Yiqun was stunned again. "Huh? This…"
How was this an inspiration class? It was obviously a pleasure class and a slacker class!
One of the most important reasons why the study class had been successful before was that the "small dark room" could allow authors with poor self-control to concentrate on writing in this environment. That was how many outstanding works were born.
However, now, everyone could watch movies if they wanted to. They could play games if they wanted to. Not only were they not locked up in the dark room, but they were also restricted to writing for two hours a day.
Wasn't that encouraging them to slack?
What's more, Boss Pei had also said that this inspiration class was mainly targeted at authors who had decided to write custom-made novels. These people's requirements for updating were very low to begin with, and their creativity would probably not be high. He had also arranged a comfortable and enjoyable environment for them…
These people were probably going to be crippled!
They were the top writers and pillars of Zhongdian Chinese Network. If they were to become useless, not only would it affect the website's income, but it would also affect the number of outstanding works and readers' comments on the website…
Ma Yiqun hesitated for a moment and said, "Boss Pei, isn't this environment too relaxed?"
Pei Qian sniggered. "That's right!"
"To these top writers, they have no lack of skills or skills. If they want to improve, they need more inspiration. They need to slow down and work hard!"
"Nowadays, many novels have millions of words. Each day, they would update thousands or even ten thousand words a day. How can a good novel be written with such huge pressure?"
"Tell them to slow down and polish it!"
Ma Yiqun opened his mouth, wanting to say something more, but he could not.
Obviously, Boss Pei's thinking seemed a little unrealistic. These online novels were meant to be used for recreational purposes. So what if they slowed down and polished it well? Could they even produce a famous novel?
However, he could not say that Boss Pei's idea was wrong. He could only say that Boss Pei had a higher level of vision than him and had a greater goal.
Ma Yiqun hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded. "Alright, Boss Pei. I'll make the arrangements now!"
