Chapter 42: Seriously?!

This time, he gave Wang Hao 100 yuan. Here comes a potential investor!
Wang Hao was speechless. Is this how rich people do things?
The young man said, “Brother, I really like your novel. Let’s be friends! I’m Liu Jinhua. Shall we exchange contact details? Send me the new chapters as soon as you’re ready. I’ll definitely give you many rewards!”
“Sure!” Wang Hao agreed right away. “Add my QQ. I’ll send you the later chapters when they’re finished. Don’t forget to keep it a secret.”
Liu Jinhua responded, “Of course, I understand the rules. Nothing ever happened before when I read the unpublished novels of other authors. My lips are sealed.”
After they connected on QQ, Liu Jinhua still felt like something was missing. He said, “Brother, I’ll promote the novel for you. My friends love to read during their spare time, but the other writers can’t come up with anything appealing. Their novels are plain like water. I’m sure they’ll like your novel!”
He went into a QQ group. Wang Hao watched next to him. He’s truly a rich person. The groups he joins are totally different from mine!
Fengyun Leaders Club! Can you see that? A leaders’ group!
I’m indeed lucky today! Invincible!
Dragon Wings: “Brothers, I found a good novel. It definitely has potential!”
Jiu Miao: “What’s with all the fuss? What novel has gotten you so excited?”
Rosie: “Yeah, which novel are you talking about? Show us.”
Dragon Wings: “Here’s the link. I’m sure you’ll like it!”
Rosie: “Let me check it out… The book number looks nice. The title as well… but 6000 words? Looks like the author has just planted the seed. It hasn’t even grown into a seedling.”
Jiu Miao: “Just 6000 words? I’m not reading it.”
Dragon Wings: “F*ck, you don’t believe me?”
Rosie: “I had a look. The theme is quite new and creative. I wonder what’ll happen next. I’ll bookmark it and give it 10 coins first. If I like the later chapters, I’ll send more.”
With Dragon Wings’s help, a few people became interested in the novel despite its word count. Wang Hao refreshed the author management page. The number of bookmarks has increased to 43! Ahahahaha! Not bad!
Liu Jinhua kept promoting the novel in the group, and he said, “Brother, the people in this group are all leaders. Write well. You’ll get quite the number of rewards if you can please them. The novel isn’t long enough right now, so it’s difficult to get their attention, but don’t worry; based on my experience, your novel will be a hit!”
For sure! This is the most popular fantasy novel! No joke!
“I hope so.” Wang Hao chuckled. “Thank you, hehe.”
When Wang Hao finished proofreading the chapter, Liu Jinhua complimented him. “Brother, you have such a great attitude. A lot of authors directly upload their novels without proofreading. Sometimes, there’re so many typos I can’t even keep reading.”
That’s my only job…
“Of course.” Wang Hao nodded hard. “Attitude determines altitude!”
“Haha, great. Your attitude alone is worth 12 likes!” Liu Jinhua laughed, then asked Wang Hao, “Brother, other than writing novels, do you play computer games?”
Computer games? Are they good?
Wang Hao had seen the data before. The quality of computer games in this world was much worse than in the previous world!
The hottest game in this world was an adventure game called “The Chaotic World.” To be honest, it was more or less the same as “Legend of Mir.”
It was the kind of game where players fought monsters, leveled up, upgraded equipment, and killed people in danger zones.
“Sometimes.” Wang Hao shook his head and said pretentiously, “I don’t spend much time on games. I write most of the time.”
“Don’t worry.” Liu Jinhua obviously had a good impression of Wang Hao. “I’ll give you an account. Do you mind playing with me for a while?”
He was a tycoon. Wang Hao knew it would be beneficial for his future if they built a better relationship, so he immediately agreed. “No problem, I’ll play with you. It’s still early anyway.”
More importantly, I’m lucky and unstoppable today!
I’ll kill everyone who stands in my way! All of them!
Liu Jinhua gave Wang Hao a healer account. There were four professions in the game — warrior, mage, priest and assassin. Liu Jinhua had chosen the warrior profession at the start, and called himself Cool Guy.
Then, they entered the game. Wang Hao was confused. He didn’t know what to do. Luckily, Liu Jinhua guided him and the other teammates to a place where they could train to level up. When they arrived, Liu Jinhua said, “You just need to keep healing me, nothing else. If any useless equipment comes out, just pick them up and sell it to the store.”
That was simple. Wang Hao nodded. “Okay!”
They started the training straight away.
A gold bracelet soon appeared. Wang Hao had his character pick it up, then asked Liu Jinhua, “Is this valuable?”
Liu Jinhua replied, “Rubbish, sell it.”
“Oh…” Wang Hao had no idea if it was valuable or not, but since he was about to sell it anyway, he had a look at it. “Hm? What does ‘Green’ here mean?”
“Little treasure.” Liu Jinhua focused on killing monsters. “It means it’s a bit more powerful than normal equipment — by the way, you’ve really never played this game before?”
Sh*t! This is only my third day here. I’ve dedicated my whole heart to developing my career. How would I have the time and energy to play computer games?
“I have to write.” Wang Hao smiled, then asked, “Little treasures aren’t valuable, right? Defense +2. Attack +4. Its power seems higher than the one I’m wearing. Should I keep it for myself?”
Liu Jinhua replied, “Yeah, wear it…” He was suddenly shocked. He turned to Wang Hao and said, “Say that again?”
“Defense +2. Attack +4.” Wang Hao said, “It seems better than my current one…”
“It’s even better than mine!” Liu Jinhua exclaimed. “Brother, stay still, stay still. Trade the bracelet with me… Right, that’s it… Ahahahaha!”
Liu Jinhua put the bracelet in his backpack and laughed loudly. “Defense +2. Attack +4. A super gold bracelet! Hahahaha!” He took out 500 yuan from his wallet and gave it to Wang Hao without thinking. “I’ll buy this bracelet from you, hahaha! Today’s awesome!”
What the f*ck?! Did he just give me 500 yuan?
Wang Hao was stunned. Seriously?!
