Chapter 56 - Chapter 56: Chapter 56: Acquiring Sailing Novel (2/2)
This was somewhat outside her area of expertise.
Mingyue smiled and explained, “This is a kind of expectation effect. When applied between editors and authors, your expectations for Lin Chuan have a positive influence on him and encourage him to move forward and strive in the direction you expect.”
“I get it now!”
Youyou nodded in sudden understanding, then took a deep breath, “First, let’s set a small goal for Lin Chuan, to reach the ‘Platinum’ level!”
Mingyue gave a faint smile, her finger tapping on Youyou’s forehead, and said with satisfaction, “Let’s see what Lin Chuan has sent.”
Youyou clicked the mouse.
Lin Chuan: “Youyou, I’m doing well.”
After thinking for a moment, Youyou’s slender and fair fingers tapped on the keyboard: “During this period, you have had two consecutive books with good results. What are your goals with writing?”
On the other end of the network.
The gentle evening breeze blew into the rented room, carrying with it the coolness of the old district and a slightly musty smell.
Lin Chuan sat in front of the computer, looking at Youyou’s message, and touched his nose: “I haven’t thought about this question.”
Youyou replied immediately, “If you consider writing a career, I think you should have a clear goal. Only with a goal will there be motivation.”
“Ten thousand orders!”
Lin Chuan stated his goal.
On the other end.
Mingyue glanced at it and smiled, saying, “That goal is too small. You should guide him to think towards achieving ‘Platinum’ status!”
Youyou nodded.
Thus, she coaxed gently, “Lin Chuan, I think your strength is far more than that. Your goal should be bigger!”
In the rented room, Lin Chuan was momentarily stunned, pondering quietly.
As Youyou said, writing was his career.
Whether it was a hobby or a golden finger, it all related to writing.
The performance of the books determined whether he could unlock the next career and gain skills related to that profession.
In the end, writing and achieving results was his ultimate goal.
Therefore, he should set a long-term goal!
After some thought, Lin Chuan set a long-term goal: “Youyou, I want to acquire Sailing Novel.”
Once he acquired Sailing Novel, he could enter a loop:
Publish books → assured success → gain Popularity Value → unlock new professions → acquire skills + automatic novel generation → continue to publish books…
Hiss!
Just thinking about it made Lin Chuan vaguely excited.
It was a closed loop!
And on the other end of the network.
The two female editors stared at the message from Lin Chuan, completely stunned.
Youyou couldn’t help looking towards her comrade: “Mingyue, I guided him according to your advice. Did something go wrong somewhere?”
“It should… be fine.”
Mingyue’s face was somewhat embarrassed, the corners of her mouth twitching slightly.
Lin Chuan’s message about acquiring Sailing Novel had caught her off guard!
When she guided Qing Feng in the same way, Qing Feng had been eager to achieve ‘Platinum’ status.
But Lin Chuan aimed even higher right from the start.
To acquire Sailing Novel!
Is that even possible?
An author writing for Sailing Novel is essentially helping it make money. How could one possibly think about acquiring Sailing Novel?
It’s unrealistic!
Moreover, is he really an author that we could have trained?
“Mingyue, how should we reply?” Youyou pursed her lips and asked again.
“Reply that you believe in him,” Mingyue said.
“What?”
Youyou’s willow-shaped eyebrows furrowed, her face full of confusion.
“This is a move called ‘using the enemy’s strategy against them’. If he dares to say it, we must dare to believe it!” Mingyue explained.
“Alright.” Youyou did as told.
It wasn’t long before.
Lin Chuan replied: “I didn’t expect you to support me so much, Youyou. I’ve decided, in a few days, I will publish another book under your name.”
Youyou’s face lit up with joy, and she responded, “No problem. What’s the theme for the next book?”
For some reason.
Youyou paused, then sent another message: “This time, it should be about a normal profession, right?”
