Chapter 360 (1/2)

Blazing Female Scholar

Zhao Youyue managed to surpass the limits of an author’s ability to string words together by interacting with other characters. To become Wen Qingyu, all she had to do was to read books.

It was really simple. She only had to eat the book to describe the flavor of the masterpiece.

Individuals who ate books were considered to be suffering from a habitual disorder. People, in general, presumed that books were not clean. They were not meant to be eaten, and so, there were concerns that such actions will bring harm to human body.

However, Wen Qingyu ate books differently. She would elegantly tear a page from the book, tearing an even smaller piece off it, and slowly put into her mouth. Fragments of the page would break up in her mouth, transforming into conceptual ideas, which was further translated as flavor within her taste buds.

Besides, it was quite something to watch a cute girl eating books, compared to ordinary folk. To the fans, MAC characters did not even have to go toilet. Somehow, book-eating was cute in its own way!

It was a similar phenomenon akin to that of the “Zhou Chun Card.” Whenever the “Zhou Chun card was activated, Zhao Youyue would be able to refill her energy bar by consuming food and drinks. The moment food entered her mouth; they became raw energy, which refilled her energy bar.

“Bakuman” and “The 4WD GOD” were formulated at levels that were on par with each other. When unique abilities appeared in these slice-of-life stories, there would be no contradiction or anomalies in the world.

Such abilities did not just deal minor damage, but gave the story a lot more life and identity.

Shi Jingnian was a talented author. He was the best author that Zhao Youyue had ever encountered. His subtle methods of throwing in plot twists that no one notices yet were simply ingenious. He was also familiar with traditional and internet literature, although he was deeply hated for his control over the internet literature.

There had to be something wrong in the brains of those who pursue the dream of having a group of women, only to love and care for them selflessly. Women may also surround wealthy men, but those ladies would only be attracted to his money.

Shin Jingnian had composed Wen Qingyu character in such a delicate manner, that Zhao Youyue was able to act out her role with ease.

Readers were far more satisfied and entertained after Zhao Youyue requested that Shi Jingnian add more Wen Qingyu scenes in the story.

Shi Jingnian was indeed a gifted author. Under the massive influx of inspiration, he sent the characters and stories dancing in the minds of the readers. He brought Wen Qingyu, the book eater to life!

Soon, Wen Qingyu made more than just sporadic appearances. One month later, the popularity of this female character had surpassed other archetype writers. She became the readers’ favorite character!

Nevertheless, Wen Qingyu existed only as a reader of books. Readers who were familiar with plagiarism would know that this was a role who did not accomplish much, but interpret novels.

These roles were meant to pale in comparison to protagonists and demonstrate just how godly they were.

Although “Bakuman” initially had a distinctive story of its own, it could now be considered as an original masterpiece that took a few bits and pieces of other novels’ sceneries and style.
