Chapter 3 (2/2)

“I went to the library to finish my thesis. You’ve been busy with your thesis approval, haven’t you?”

She shook her ponytails and sighed. “Sigh, I stayed up all night.”

“You’re done?” He asked casually.

Fang Yuan bought two raisin muffins and found a place to sit at the cafeteria.

“Don’t mention it. I didn’t even read a single word.”

“Huh?”

“My mind was in a daze yesterday. I didn’t want to do anything, so I decided to go to Amazon to read some novels and look for inspiration. I was browsing through the fantasy section that I usually read and found a book called “The Coiling Dragon”. It was so good that I couldn’t stop reading it! Then, in the blink of an eye, it was already dawn, but I don’t regret it at all. Not one bit! I was completely immersed in that book and spent a wonderful night reading it!”

Rion’s eyes were narrowed as if she was still immersed in the fantasy world of the novel.

Hearing the words “The Coiling Dragon”, a few classmates who were sitting next to her quickly surrounded her.

The University of Iowa was the world’s major literary and artistic college.

The students there were naturally the most sensitive to the works on major book rankings.

“Did you just mention ‘The Coiling Dragon’? Isn’t it that novel on Amazon’s top ten fantasy books?”

“What a coincidence! I was reading this book yesterday as well.”

“Me too, me too!”

“It’s really amazing! When will I ever be able to write like this?”

“I’m not asking for much. I just hope that I can write my graduation thesis at 1% of that author’s standard.”

“So who knows where to find the rest of the content?”

“I went to the author’s personal website, but the book’s not complete there either. It’s only the first volume.”

“Maybe the second volume hasn’t been written yet. The story is all in the author’s mind. It would be great if we could find the author and ask him in person.”

“Didn’t you guys see the highlights posted on the School Forum? Last night, a computer science genius used the IP registered by the domain name to locate the author’s device. Now, we can be sure that the author whose pen name is ‘I Eat Tomatoes’ is at our university!”

“What! This master is actually among us?”

When Rion heard this, she took a bite of her muffin. “Hmph! If the author was my student, I’d definitely capture this fellow and chain him to the desk to finish the book. If he doesn’t finish writing, he won’t be fed! This is what we should do when dealing with talented authors who don’t diligently update their books, don’t you think so?”

“Yeah! You’re absolutely right!”

“This is what we should do! If the author doesn’t write the book properly, he or she will be whipped.”

“Even the donkeys in the production team don’t dare to rest like this!”

“I really wanna pry open the author’s head and see what’s inside.”

The crowd was furious while Fang Yuan shuddered at their remarks.

It was true that fans would do crazy things when provoked.

Sakazaka Rion looked like a cute girl, but what she said she was unexpectedly sick!

Fang Yuan said, “You guys have fun chatting. I still have something to do, so I’ll take my leave first.”

He left the cafeteria and wanted to take his laptop back from the library so that he could write in a safer place.

Just as he walked to the table and held the laptop in his arms, he heard a cold female voice.

“Mr. I Eat Tomatoes, right?”

Without waiting for Fang Yuan to reply, the tall and sexy lady with burgundy shoulder-length hair walked to him. She reached out her right hand as she said, “Nice to meet you. I’m the editor-in-chief of Rainforest Literature, a publishing company under Amazon. You can call me Lilith.”

When uploading a work on Amazon’s website, the author would need to register their identity.

Thus, it was not surprising that Lilith came to find Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan also did not have a reason to deliberately hide his identity because publishing his work was his purpose in the first place.

“Hello, Ms. Lilith.”
