Xu Lin ordered four dishes, four bowls of rice, because he eats a lot, and spent nineteen thousand like that.

Actually, he originally wanted to order venison, but ultimately didn't.

Yu Xinyan couldn't quite accept eating venison.

For most people, they've only eaten chicken, duck, goose, pork, beef, which are available at the market. People in the north can also buy lamb, and dog meat is also common, but that's about it. Most other animal meats are from protected species.

But for Celestial Dragon People, they can eat protected animals. News reports mentioned a corrupt official who had even eaten pandas; there's nothing these people don't dare to eat. Wealth and power can exponentially expand a person's desires.

Xu Lin just ordered regular dishes, though the price was not low, as it's private cuisine.

A little after six, Xu Lin took Yu Xinyan back to school.

"Xu Lin, goodbye!"

Yu Xinyan hugged the Mickey Mouse doll, reluctant to part. Who knows when they'll meet next?

"Go back, I need to attend roll call too."

"Okay, okay."

"Goodbye!"

Xu Lin twisted the bike handles and turned away, leaving. Yu Xinyan sighed and went back to school only after she couldn't see Xu Lin anymore.

A little past six, it was already dark.

Xu Lin timed it just right to return to school for the class meeting.

The next few days were as usual, peaceful yet fulfilling. Xu Lin's career was advancing smoothly.

During these days, Xu Lin finished the final outline, a multi-female lead contemporary story outline.

But not a reincarnation story.

Eighteen-year-old Xu Lin doesn't like reincarnation stories; he can't relate to the middle-aged man going back in time story.

And his own books, or the outlines he gives to Toutuo, all have young male protagonists.

This time it's a multi-female lead urban story intended for Moonlit Night.

Previously, Moonlit Night wanted to collaborate with Xu Lin once, Xu Lin promised him but hadn't found the time to write a new outline. This week, he finally completed it.

In Moonlit Night's small group, there are five people in total, Wu Chengfeng and the other four have completely taken off, this year they are steadily Platinum or second-tier top authors, only Moonlit Night is still left behind.

He was the first collaborator Xu Lin had when entering this circle. He's a nice person, and when he earned money, he knew to actively share a portion with Xu Lin.

So Xu Lin doesn't mind lending him a hand.

This Friday evening.

Xu Lin sent the outline to the other party, along with the contract.

Now Xu Lin doesn't do paper contracts anymore, everything is handled electronically.

He had previously created a simple website, now the website is more complete, and Xu Lin uses it for collaborations with others.

"Thanks, big boss!"

Moonlit Night was grateful, receiving the outline. In the group of five, only he's standing still, others have flown high, it's strange if he isn't upset.

Xu Lin: "That's it, if there are issues later, you can ask me. I wish you to become a top author next year."

"Thanks big boss! Worship.jpeg"

"Mm."

Xu Lin replied with one word.

This is his final outline; after this, he plans to fade out from this circle.

In the online writing community, he has reached the peak, it holds no more interest for Xu Lin.

He wasn't very interested in writing novels to begin with.

"The novel has about ten thousand words left and a few extra chapters, plan to finish them up this weekend!"

Xu Lin didn't want to drag it out, decided to challenge himself to write tens of thousands of words at once and completely finish the novel.

Today is already December 11th, stepping into mid-December.

Current time: Friday evening eight o'clock.

Xu Lin is at the duplex because he wants to work here alone for more quietness.

He switched WeChat back to his main account, and saw the message Xia Xiyao just sent a minute ago.

"Xu Lin, we're ordering CHAGEE, do you want anything?"

"Two cups of Orange Four Seasons, mild sugar, less ice."

Buzz buzz.

"Two cups?" the other replied.

"Yes."

"Then I've ordered for you!"

"Ok, thanks."

"Okay, okay, no problem."

Xu Lin didn't reply further and started typing.

Later on, about half an hour, Xu Lin managed to write just over ten thousand words.

Xia Xiyao's message came: "Xu Lin, your fruit tea is arriving soon, remember to pick it up!"

Xu Lin replied: "Ok, thanks."

The other replied with a cute nodding emoji.

After a while, the doorbell rang.

Xu Lin went downstairs to get his food delivery.

Then Xu Lin shut down his phone and threw it towards the bed.

Started immersing himself in extremely focused work mode.

This time, Xu Lin worked continuously for ten hours, from eight at night to six thirty the next morning, for a total of ten and a half hours.

Sometimes people are quite strange, being more excited during the midnight hours.

For example, from two to three thirty in the morning, Xu Lin wrote more than forty thousand words in an hour and a half, faster than his usual pace by half an hour; he usually writes twenty thousand words an hour.

Moreover, except for occasional pauses and going to the bathroom twice, Xu Lin wrote continuously for a full ten hours.

Ultimately, Xu Lin wrote two hundred thirty thousand words, unprecedented.

Among them, one hundred seventy thousand words are the main storyline, and sixty thousand are extras.

The one hundred seventy thousand words main storyline concludes with the protagonist Xu Lin and Chi Linyue having twin daughters, and resolving all family conflicts while Chi Linyue is two months pregnant, the two enter into marriage, and protagonist Xu Lin's career progresses steadily, but it's not a huge enterprise as in other novels where the protagonist becomes some national tycoon or world mogul, Xu Lin doesn't write such stories, finding them uninspiring.

His mindset changed after reading many history books; he knows in this world, keeping low profile is best, all things and beings, just about enough, not pursuing perfection or the highest, which is the way of moderation.

The story conclusion leans towards the fairy tale like happy endings of princes and princesses.

There's nothing much to say.

Life is already troublesome enough; who wants to continue being troubled in a novel?

And the sixty thousand words extras narrate the timeline after the protagonist gets married, like how the two kids are doing, what happens to other significant supporting characters in the book. Additionally, in the extras, the female lead gets pregnant again, this time with twins.

Actually, Xu Lin quite likes twins and mixed twins; if he ever has children in the future, he hopes they'll be like that.

But a novel is just a novel, real-life twins are based on odds.

"Thus, a fulfilling ending!"

Writing two hundred thirty thousand words in one night; Xu Lin was already exhausted.

After checking the energy stats, there were over forty points left, hinting him to take a break.

Xu Lin stretched, scheduled the publication of all forty-six chapters totaling two hundred thirty thousand words on the author's backstage, one chapter per minute.

"Sleep now, deal with future matters later!"

Next chapter will be updated first on this website. Come back and continue reading tomorrow, everyone!
