Professor Song really didn't mean to rain on their parade.
It's just that in his understanding, the ultimate goal of writing books is usually turning them into TV shows or movies.
But seeing Qin Yun and He Kuang hesitating, he sensed something might be off. Then looking at those two enormous red sweet potatoes standing out, he tried to make amends more tactfully:
"Uh... you just said you're writing about the 70s and 80s? Eating baked sweet potatoes in rural areas during the 70s and 80s should fit pretty well with the theme now!"
He Kuang let out a dry cough: "I'm writing a story of those eras. The male lead usually rides the wave of reforms to make money... start a career..."
Occasionally there's a poor male lead, but even with the golden beginning chapters, they should quickly rise and earn their first bucket of gold. As for baked sweet potatoes, there's no such meticulousness involved.
The room fell into silence.
