The Author’s Next Move

Lü Liu: Dear, is this book ending soon? I saw you applied for the completion list for next week. Mu Qianshan: Yes, it’s already finished and in the draft box. I’ll release the final chapters before the ranking refresh next week. Lü Liu: Happy completion! 🎉 Do you have any ideas for the next book? Mu Qianshan: I have a few. I’ll post the character setting sketches on Weibo in a couple of days.

With her financial crisis resolved, Lin Muxue didn’t mind porting over her other novels from her previous world while simultaneously brainstorming new ones. This time, she wasn’t just thinking of web novels; she was refining a script. It wasn’t the old one she had prepared for her uncle, but a fresh inspiration triggered by her journey into this parallel world.

The Pro Player’s “Mission”

At the DM Team Dormitory, Chu Meng was dragged out of bed by her assistant for a photoshoot. After an hour in the makeup chair, her sleepiness had vanished.

“How’s that fan service ‘project’ going?” her manager asked as they sat in the lounge. “Fans have been asking about the ‘Scumbag Takedown’ update.”

Chu Meng handed over her phone. The manager scrolled through the logs, noting the shift from the “Octopus Monster’s” cold, “pay-back-and-delete” attitude to their current state of casual banter.

“Interesting,” the manager mused. “It feels like watching a slow-burn romance. How much longer until the ‘grand reveal’?”

Chu Meng sighed. “If you guys hadn’t insisted this person was a scumbag who cheated on 99 girls, I’d think I was talking to a reliable, slightly old-fashioned professor. They’re incredibly knowledgeable. No matter the topic—logic, science, literature—they have a clear, rigorous answer.”

“So you think she’s a math teacher in real life?” The manager laughed. “You look like a high schooler caught in a secret crush.”

“I am not!” Chu Meng protested.

Chu Meng was a top-tier professional DOT player (a popular MOBA game). As a rare female pro in the TI (The International) circuit, she was a superstar in the e-sports world. Today, she was shooting an ad campaign as the official spokesperson for DOT China.

The “Leg” Trap

Back home, Lin Muxue was about to watch an animation clip she had dubbed when her V-xin lit up. She looked down and saw a photo of a pair of smooth, slender, and perfectly proportioned calves.

The image was striking, but what caught Lin Muxue’s eye was a slender index finger pointing at a tiny pink scratch on the skin. The hand was exquisite—pale as mutton-fat jade, with neatly trimmed, natural pink nails.

A beautiful girl, Lin Muxue thought, judging by the hand alone.

Sweet Orange Meow: Look, Ah-Xue. I scratched my leg while showering and it just started hurting. I don’t think I can wear a skirt tomorrow… Crying face

Lin Muxue looked at the “wound.”

Chao Mu Cheng Xue: You just finished showering. The hot water accelerated your blood circulation and temporarily reduced the visibility of melanin, making your skin look paler. In this state, even a minor bump looks prominent. Give it a few minutes and that scratch will probably disappear.

Chu Meng, who had intentionally scratched herself with a box corner just to have an excuse to send a “thirst trap” photo of her legs: “???”

How was that different from saying: “Your injury is so serious that if you hadn’t taken the photo immediately, it would have healed by now”?

There was no difference!

Lin Muxue waited. The “typing…” status flickered for a long time. Finally, after the animation clip had finished playing, a reply came.

Sweet Orange Meow: Oh. Well, look at this then. Smile Sweet Orange Meow: Photo.jpg

It was a photo of a bare, white foot.

Lin Muxue assumed there was a scratch there too. She zoomed in, inspecting every toe. She missed the hand from the previous photo, but noted that the toes were quite cute and well-groomed. Finding no injury, she replied honestly:

Chao Mu Cheng Xue: The scratch seems to have disappeared here too.

Sweet Orange Meow: HEH. I was actually asking if my foot looks good kicking toward the camera!

I’m trying to kick you all the way back to Mars! Chu Meng screamed internally.

Lin Muxue, completely missing the aggressive intent, replied with sincere praise: Chao Mu Cheng Xue: It’s quite cute.

Chu Meng face-planted into her bed and started pummeling her pillow with her phone.

“This person! So annoying! Infuriating!! SO INFURIATING!!!”
