Chapter 478 - 189 - The Little Incubus Favored by the Gods? (10K) - The Web Novelist Being Chased by the Editor (6)
"Of course, boss. You know who I am. I'm the little tyrant of Group Nine, the king of internal competition in eight dishes and one soup, the tyrant of the premium author group of Group Nine! What I write is naturally recognized by you, boss.
After all, it's thanks to your guidance!"
Please催我码字 struck a pose of exaggerated enthusiasm, proclaiming, "Revitalizing the glory of Group Nine is our duty," which made the corner of the editor's mouth twitch slightly with a rare smile. Then he coldly said:
"But as I recall, your opening seems a bit different from what you initially told me you were going to write."
Please催我码字's expression stiffened.
What could he say? Could he tell his editor that he was so engrossed in playing games that he completely forgot about this, and when he finally remembered, he was already dragged to the tavern by said editor wielding a Nail Head Hammer?
There was no way he could say that!
So, he could only stammer and try to explain to his editor.
Things like "How can a web novel writer delaying updates be called ditching," "Boss, do you know the several different ways to start a web novel," "Writing~Writing~is all about creating a better masterpiece"...
This series of explanations left a group of native inhabitants bewildered, but seeing Please催我码字's tearful expression, it unexpectedly generated a kind of theatrical enjoyment among the tavern patrons.
Soon enough, Please催我码字 reluctantly managed to convince the editor.
The editor nodded and said, "Although the beginning of your manuscript is a bit different from what we initially agreed upon, the quality seems pretty good and aligns with the current trends on the website.
In principle, your manuscript is approved by me. After going offline, go to the website backend to publish the book. Once you reach 6000 words, come find me for a sign-off."
"Yes!" Seeing that he had successfully fooled his editor, Please催我码字 rubbed his hands together, curiously looking toward the editor and voiced his question:
"Boss, your skills are ridiculously strong. Did you cheat? I mean, it's amazing how quickly you found the game's loopholes.
How about this, tell me quietly how you did it, and we can cheat together and enjoy the game? I'll trade my daily 10,000-character installment next month. How about it?"

The editor frowned and mockingly said, "Do I look like someone who cheats?"
"Doesn't look like it, but that Nail Head Hammer strike nearly knocked me out. It doesn't seem like player-level strength," Please催我码字 replied honestly.
What a joke, as an experienced player in Underworld Gate, he couldn't possibly be beaten so easily by a new player.
He wouldn't believe it if you said there was no cheating involved.
The editor shook his head and said, "I didn't cheat. When I entered the game, I was born in a church named the 'Church of the God of Literature and Knowledge' and inexplicably got the recognition of an archbishop there, who called me...
Oh yes, a Divine Favored! Sounds like a special start in a Western fantasy web novel."
Please催我码字: ???
Upon hearing the editor's reply, Please催我码字 was instantly stunned.
Now, the players weren't exactly newbies who knew nothing. In a game that featured deities, he understood what it meant to be a Divine Favored.
He just never thought that his editor, who had just entered the game, was already at such a high level right at the start. What was this? Starting at other players' end points?
But quickly, Please催我码字 realized something.
In this game, every power system had a complete 'Cause and Effect'. Even players wouldn't become super strong just like "biu".
There is always a cause. If his editor suddenly had the combat power that was hard-earned by top players, there must be another reason...
Like carrying an extremely difficult task.
Previously on the forum, a player took a special mission and the NPC directly raised their level to LV25 temporarily, which caused a sensation in their small group.
With that in mind, Please催我码字 couldn't restrain his curiosity and whispered:
"Boss, did you get a really important mission?"
The editor frowned, opened the chat window of the system panel, and sent a message:
"Indeed, I received a rather interesting mission. The Church of the God of Literature and Knowledge wants me to carry out a protection mission."
Please催我码字 realized that since the editor didn't speak out loud, the mission must be confidential and not to be known to the native inhabitants.
He curiously replied: "Boss, who are you protecting?"
The editor's mouth curled into a smile, and he typed the message: "You should be familiar with him. His name is Kael.D.Helois."
Please催我码字's pupils contracted instinctively upon reading the message in the chat box.
He smelled a huge scoop.
"Wait, boss, when you hit me just now, your strength was really great. You almost sent me to the Resurrection Point. But to protect Brother Kael, that's not enough, is it!?"
"When I hit you earlier, I only used thirty percent of my strength. Don't worry, even in the game, I'll supervise your writing properly.
Underworld Gate is a blessing for you. You can play games and write new books at the same time. Why not enjoy it?"
Please催我码字 tearfully looked at the editor with a sinister smile and said, "Code Slave, you do not want other players to PK you and get your level dropped, do you?"
Threats. He was threatening him!
Please催我码字 could almost foresee his tragic future.
...
Not long after, two posts quickly became popular on the player forum due to their extremely fast replies.
The first post: "About the time I got dragged into the game by my editor wielding a Nail Head Hammer because I was slacking off from writing"
The second post: "Hidden plotline in the Royal Capital of the Duchy of Englances unlocked, the first Divine Favored among players emerges, and major events may occur soon"
Soon, both posts stirred heated discussions among the players.
