Chapter 110

Reaching the end of the chapter, Li Luo pondered for a moment, leaving a narrative hook in the form of dialogue between characters to heighten reader anticipation.

Commonly called a cliffhanger.

After finishing, Li Luo quickly scanned the chapter's content; finding no major issues, he nodded in satisfaction.

At that moment, his phone rang.

The caller ID showed an unknown number.

Remembering what the editor had said earlier, Li Luo picked up the phone and answered.

"Hello? Hi," came a voice that sounded quite elderly, "You're Li Luo, right? Pen name: Chongran."

"Yes."

"I'm with the Online Writers Association," the voice said. "You were recommended by Qidian and have recently been accepted."

"Do I need to make an appointment?"

"No, you don't," the man replied. "Just come by during working hours."

"What if I never go? Will my membership be revoked?"

"... You're already considered a member, but you need to come in person to register." The other said, "If you're truly busy right now, write down my number—call me when you're free."

"Alright, thank you."

On weekdays, Li Luo still had to attend school.

On weekends, he wasn't sure if the Writers Association would even be open.

Since it wouldn't affect his membership status, Li Luo didn't feel the need to rush.

The writer's certificate—he'd written a book with a thousand to two thousand average subscriptions in his past life, so joining the municipal Online Writers Association was more than enough.

The certificate itself was useless; it was just for showing off at home, and he'd have to pay over two hundred yuan in annual dues.

The association required members to show up in person to register—polite terms called it "collecting the writer's certificate," but in reality, it was just to collect membership fees…

Otherwise, why bother having you come in person when your personal data had already been clearly submitted?

While Li Luo was speaking with the association staff, Yan Zhusheng, beside him, noticed he had finished writing and curiously glanced at the computer screen.

She'd simply wanted to see what the new chapter contained.

But after glancing at a few lines of the text, she froze.

Why did the plot feel so confusing?

She looked again at the chapter title.
