Speaking of Qiu Wuji, she seemed genuinely eager to learn how to write. Chu Ge had initially wanted to say, "You could make a fortune selling calligraphy and paintings," but he refrained from commenting.
Everyone has their own ambitions. Qiu Wuji clearly wanted to learn about "creation," not simply about making money or purely about learning to write.
Otherwise, given her current level of understanding of the world, she already had quite a few ways to make money.
If she really wanted to write, she wouldn't need to learn how to fabricate stories. She could simply recount her past experiences in the martial arts world as an autobiography, or tell interesting stories about others. Even without any particular writing style, it would probably be quite interesting—and incidentally, it could even be a prequel or side story to "Chu Tian Wu Ji"—how wonderful!
But that would still just be supplementing the story of that world. Qiu Wuji's ambition clearly lay in creating her own world, not supplementing it.
Unfortunately, Chu Ge thought that with Qiu Wuji's thought process, it would be quite difficult for her to fabricate her own story.
She's just not the type to fabricate stories!
Chu Ge was still willing to help her this time. He thought about it; he knew how to write, but his teaching skills were probably lacking. He'd never been a teacher before, unlike Qiu Wuji, who frequently guided his students and taught cultivation with ease.
Looks like he needed to find her some teaching materials?
Zhang Qiren had collected a lot before, but Chu Ge hadn't looked at them. Chu Ge always felt that this kind of thing couldn't be taught by someone… but judging from Zhang Qiren's progress back then, it must have been useful. Should he ask Zhang Qiren for a set to look at…? He wondered if Zhang Qiren had deleted those materials now?
He tried asking Zhang Qiren, but there was no reply; he was probably busy and not online.
Chu Ge thought absentmindedly for a moment, then joined the "Failed Driver Group" to seek advice from the experts there.
"Writing a book?" The experts replied, "Isn't that something anyone can do?"
Chu Ge: "Yeah, yeah."
"Just open Ward and get to work! Thinking too much is useless."
Chu Ge: "Yeah, yeah, yeah."
"Writing a book is actually negatively correlated with looks. Someone as handsome as me is more likely to flop. Sigh, you can't force it, what's the point of learning..."
The group erupted in discussion: "No wonder my average daily subscriptions dropped yesterday, it's because I'm handsome again!"
"No wonder I couldn't reach platinum status this year, it turns out my looks are holding me back."
Chu Ge: "Thank you everyone for certifying me as the most handsome in the group."
The group was quiet for a moment, then someone posted a screenshot: "10,000-subscription master, what are you saying? Many people in the group haven't reached that yet, you're definitely one of the uglier ones."
Chu Ge rubbed his eyes. It was a 10,000-subscription badge, and the screenshot showed the book title as *Chu Tian Wu Ji*.
10,000 subscriptions? When did that happen?
"You don't know, do you?" someone exclaimed in surprise. "You're unbelievable! You need someone else to tell you your own achievements? What have you been doing all day? By the way, you came in asking about writing instruction right away, are you perhaps chasing after some female apprentice?"
That guy's a real expert, his guess was spot on.
Chu Ge retorted righteously, "Do I look like that kind of person? I just want to recharge myself, to improve my studies!"
"That stuff's useless, just open Ward and get to work!"
Well, we've come full circle.
Just then, Zhang Qiren's avatar started beeping. Chu Ge clicked on it and saw a link from the other end: "I've deleted the ones I collected before. This is a collection of writing tips from a certain online forum; it might be somewhat useful. But I think you'd better not look at it. You have your own style and approach; don't get led astray."
Chu Ge sighed, "Thanks, bro."
"Ha..." Zhang Qiren sent a laughing emoji: "I'm busy, can't chat anymore."
Chu Ge couldn't help but ask, "Recently..."
"Your classmate's keeping a close eye on me. He's clearly doing me a favor but still treats me like a boss. But lately he's been overwhelmed, which has eased things up for me, allowing me to do other things... Uh, never mind that, bye~"
Chu Ge thought that when they discussed Zhang Qiren's multi-pronged approach, they might have overlooked one thing—getting Lin Wuyang bogged down in various follow-up troubles, leaving him no time to keep an eye on him, making things easier.
I wonder what's going on with that young master Wang who was dragged in… Lin Wuyang had hesitantly asked for my help, but almost a week has passed and he hasn't contacted me.
Chu Ge shook his head, trying to clear his mind of these troublesome matters, and sent the link to Qiu Wuji: "Good stuff, take a look."
Qiu Wuji instinctively thought he was being suggestive, but after clicking the link, he was quite satisfied: "Good disciple, so filial."
"Who's the disciple?!" Chu Ge retorted angrily, "At least in this matter, I'm the master!"
"Okay, okay, Master~"
Chu Ge: "…" Qiu Wuji ignored him and happily went to look at the link.
His eyes widened again after opening it.
Why are there so many links within links…?
That's one thing, but Sect Master Qiu can easily find even more when he casually looks at a Daoist scripture.
However, clicking on a few links revealed conflicting opinions—for example, some said an outline was essential, even a detailed one, while others said it shouldn't limit one's thinking.
Who should I listen to? "Creating a world is really difficult..." Qiu Wuji thought for a moment, then decided not to look. After all, these people hadn't created anything, right?
He might as well just open the document and write it himself!
...Qiu Wuji started writing.
The next morning, Chu Ge brushed his teeth, glancing sideways as he passed by, then glancing sideways again from a different angle.
Qiu Wuji sat in front of the computer, his face stern as he looked at the document with only three lines written. He gritted his teeth and said, "If you keep walking around here, I'll throw you off the building!"
"No, no, this protagonist's name is pretty good, let's call him Protagonist."
"What's wrong with not being able to think of a name right now! Just list the plot first, then we'll think of a name later!"
Chu Ge blinked: "How about the surname Chu? It's a very elegant surname, a common surname in novels, often used by protagonists."
"I haven't seen you, Chu Ge, being that elegant."
"Mine won't work, but there are some very good ones, like Chu Liuxiang."
Qiu Wuji hesitated for a moment. Chu Liuxiang was indeed a nice name, but it sounded a bit like a playboy. Even a name like Chu Tiange is quite nice…it seems this surname really suits the protagonist.
She hesitated before asking, "The surname Chu seems okay, it's kind of giving you face…what about the name? Do you have any good ideas?"
Chu Ge smiled knowingly, "What do you think? It's your book, so your opinion is the most important."
Qiu Wuji fell into deep thought.
Chu Ge brushed his teeth and went back to the bathroom.
Thinking slowly, this is where our child's name will be…hmm, where did we buy the school district house again…
Just as she was dreaming, her phone rang.
Chu Ge answered the phone, and Zhong Yi's voice came from the other end: "Now that the identity is settled, do you want her to register her under your household registration, or register her under yours?"
Chu Ge nearly jumped up in surprise, hurriedly asking, "What kind of relationship do I need to register her under my household registration? Can't it be someone other than a relative?"
"As long as the head of household agrees and provides written proof, it's possible to register her under their household registration. Although it's not encouraged, mainly because it can cause disputes, it's generally not possible to register her, but if you want... well, just say you're a distant relative..."
"Register her! I have to!" Chu Ge flipped to his lone page of his household registration book, overjoyed: "This is someone on the same household registration! I'll say... a distant cousin!"
Well, another buff has been added.
Zhong Yi seemed to have guessed what he would say; he wasn't surprised. It would be strange if Sanwa and Liuwa weren't on the same household registration.
"Alright, then bring your documents over..." The important matter of getting her identity sorted out startled Qiu Wuji, who had been racking her brains for a protagonist's name. She dashed out of her room, quickly tidied herself in front of the mirror, and hopped on Chu Ge's electric scooter, heading straight to the police station.
"I never imagined getting an identity for an unregistered person would be more efficient than having a portrait drawn by a fortune teller," Qiu Wuji exclaimed. "That's the difference..." Chu Ge's lips twitched, but he didn't reply.
He was also somewhat lost in thought. The person who seemed to have stepped out of a book was actually going to have an identity.
Her stay this time was also very long, a whole week already, as if she would never go back.
Day by day, her existence became more and more real.
I wonder what kind of identity Zhong Yi arranged for her?
