Chapter 413: Chapter 264: Even Mars Can’t Keep You in Check!? (Subscribe Please)

Redwood Café.

At this time, in December, the southern city had only just stepped onto winter’s doorstep, barely brushing against it and not yet fully entering. The café hadn’t even turned on the heating, and the cool air, carrying a trace of chill, permeated through the half-open window.

Lin Chuan didn’t like those tightly enclosed spaces without air circulation; they felt very stuffy.

Right now,

He was enjoying the slightly chilly air, taking a sip of coffee that tasted somewhat like ‘Arabica beans produced in Santos,’ with a smile on his lips, “I’ve written some novels that aren’t particularly grand, but you might have heard of them.”

Hou and Brother Hao exchanged looks.

Brother Hao thought Lin Chuan couldn’t understand Malay, and with a snicker, he said to Hou in Malay, “Novels that aren’t fit for the big stage, and still having the nerve to show off about them? Our website used to hold a large share of globally popular novels!”

Cough, even if they were pirated.

But as long as I had them, that was my achievement.

Such was Brother Hao’s shameless thought.

Hou chimed in, “Definitely, it can’t compare to our novel website, of course!”

However, facing Lin Chuan, Brother Hao switched to a different demeanor, “Lin, you might not be well-known now, but in the future, you’ll surely write great novels. Why don’t you publish a few on our Mars Novels? I guarantee you’ll earn five thousand a month, enough to hit the tax threshold in your country!”

The more he spoke, the more confident he became, casting aside his earlier fear of the ‘Lin surname.’

That’s the charm of pretending!

Keep pretending, and you start to believe it’s true!

Hou translated faithfully.

Lin Chuan heard every word of their Malay conversation and couldn’t help but be amused. These two were the clowns of that novel website.

However, Little Landlady said, “Five thousand a month sounds a bit low, doesn’t it? My boyfriend’s novels have been published overseas before and seemed to be quite a hit in Southeast Asia for a while.”

“Low?”

Brother Hao touched his nose and put his hand on Hou’s shoulder, “So there’s a history of success, ah? Then we can discuss it further.”

After Hou translated, he added a question, “If I may ask, the popularity in Southeast Asia you mentioned, to what extent are we talking?”

Lin Chuan rested his hand on the table, smiling, “Over there, the novel website put up lots of billboards for me, the kind you see on the street.”

Hou laughed, “That’s something our novel website also often does. Just tell me the name of the book, and next time I’m out on the streets, I’ll see if I can spot it.”

Brother Hao scoffed inwardly. A novel that took Southeast Asia by storm? There’s no way I wouldn’t know about it. When he mentions the title and I don’t recognize it… that’ll mean this kid is full of hot air, making it much easier to negotiate for the exclusive rights to ‘I Am Not the Medicine God.’

He still paid lip service, “What’s the name of the book? When I have time, I’ll give it a read.”

Lin Chuan had no intention of showing off, but his eyes lifted slightly and his lips curled upwards, his face wearing a smile that was dangerously close to one of the returning Dragon King.
