Initially, there was an agreent for a dormitory social event after military training, but the school suddenly imposed a closed training schedule, causing the plan to fall through. Chang Hao had been excited all night for nothing. However, after the first day of training, everyone was too exhausted to think about socializing. After being up since 6 AM, standing in the sun all day, they were drained. By the ti they got back to the dorm, Chang Hao collapsed onto his bed.
Li Qiang, who was in better shape, asked, "Brother Hao, are we still eting tonight?"
"Yanyan said they were too tired, so it’s off," Chang Hao murmured from his bed, barely able to lift his eyelids.
Li Qiang responded with an "Oh," planning just to rest for a bit but ended up falling asleep too.
The first day of military training was genuinely exhausting. Chang Hao envied Zhou Yuwen's foresight in getting a dical excuse early on. Now, it was impossible for him to get an excuse since he was the class representative of Company Four, Class Two. Despite his playful nature, this was the first ti Chang Hao had held any position of responsibility, and it gave him a sense of importance. Even the previously irritating instructor seed more bearable.
After a short nap, he went out for a shower and then excitedly ssaged Zheng Yanyan about his new role as class representative, feeling proud. Zheng Yanyan, however, showed little interest in their conversation.
anwhile, Zhou Yuwen was still focused on his money-making plans. After visiting several schools with Liu Shuo, he realized that the campus card business was nearing saturation, estimating about a thousand potential custors. With a 30% commission going to sub-agents, Zhou Yuwen would earn about 50 yuan per card, totaling 50,000 yuan. Although this was a significant amount for an ordinary college student, it wasn’t enough for Zhou Yuwen, who had plans to buy a car and date after the training.
He envied girls like Su Qing, who had practical skills. If he were like Su Qing, he would sell design drafts, earning 50,000 yuan each. However, Zhou Yuwen knew this was wishful thinking. In the design world, talent was just part of the equation; reputation was also crucial. No matter how talented, a newcor’s work would only fetch a few hundred yuan.
Despite this, Su Qing had her advantages due to her past experience. But now, she was too focused on maintaining the original tiline of events, fearing any deviation might alter the future. This made her endure the exhausting training, even though it made her feel fulfilled. The only downside was the loneliness, as no one around her understood her situation.
During lunch, Su Qing had a stomach ache and missed the als Zhou Yuwen used to prepare for her in their past life. She missed the Zhou Yuwen who always had dicine ready for her. Even though the current Zhou Yuwen wasn't the sa, he was still better than nothing.
So, she couldn’t help but ssage him: "Zhou Yuwen, why didn’t you attend the training today?"
"Not feeling well."
"But Yanyan said you weren't in the dical room. Where were you?"
"I don’t think I need to report my whereabouts to you."
"I didn’t an it that way. I’m just concerned."
"Thank you."
Their conversation beca dull and monotonous. Seeing Zhou Yuwen's cold responses of "Thank you," Su Qing felt an inexplicable pain in her heart. She felt aggrieved and wanted to cry, thinking that the Zhou Yuwen from her original tiline would never treat her this way. She missed that Zhou Yuwen dearly.
Su Qing’s attempt to chat with Zhou Yuwen reminded him of sothing important. Although he didn't want to return to writing novels, he realized he had no other viable skills. In his past life, he had earned a significant amount of money through writing. He wondered if he could still make money this ti around.
If he could earn a few million yuan, he could invest in real estate and Bitcoin, drastically altering his future compared to his previous life.
2013 marked the era after the golden age of Web Novel. For Web Novel, 2012 was a pivotal year. Before 2012, all kinds of novels thrived, including officialdom novels, bizarre tales, and various unconventional stories. It was a ti of a flourishing, diverse literary world where every type of story could find an audience.
Back then, writing novels was incredibly easy. You didn’t even have to brainstorm much. As long as you had the characters set, you could copy and paste from a couple of adult websites, make so replacents, and readers would flock to it.
However, after 2012, Web Novel suddenly beca more regulated. Many genres were significantly reduced, and any content below the neck was no longer allowed.
Zhou Yuwen was an avid novel enthusiast and had a deep understanding of Web Novel history. After 2012, the Web Novel scene underwent reforms and indeed experienced a new phase of developnt. Authors began to earn more. Strangely, though, despite this booming growth, it was hard to find any standout, morable works like those from before 2012.
Zhou Yuwen recalled his middle school days when he could log into a novel website, casually pick a novel, and get completely engrossed. He would read one chapter after another, unable to stop, until his family urged him to go to bed, only to realize it was already 2 AM.
In those days, there was no need to check bestseller lists or reading charts. He would just follow his interests, click on a title that intrigued him, and was rarely disappointed.
But later on, as more authors and works flooded the scene, fewer stories captivated him. Now, when he logged onto a novel website, he couldn't find a single engaging work among the plethora of online novels.
With no other choice, he started following the crowd, picking random books from bestseller or reading lists. Although none of them stood out as exceptionally good, they were at least sowhat entertaining and helped pass the ti.
Fortunately, in 2013, such situations were still relatively rare. Last year, the Web Novel scene faced severe crackdowns, but now it seed to be in a phase of resurgence.
Zhou Yuwen logged into a novel website and saw that the hopage featured a book titled "If I Had Doraemon." This was understandable, given the new regulations disqualified ninety percent of the books, leaving only these to avoid trouble.
Zhou Yuwen, having reincarnated with over a decade of experience in the Web Novel world from his previous life. In his previous life, Zhou Yuwen had already made a na for himself, discussing and debating the nuances of novel, but a single misstep led to his downfall.In this life, returning to the world of Web Novel , he would reclaim everything that belongs to him.
