Chapter 13 You don't even have a draft?
The night breeze was slightly cool as Lin Yuyan led Su Chenjin along the street.
After shaking off Basil's pursuit, Arc Moon also deactivated her magical girl transformation and led Su Chenjin to a detached villa.
Lin Yuyan didn't rush to open the door. Instead, she turned around, as if suddenly remembering something: "Oh, by the way, first, how old are you?"
Su Chenjin nodded slightly: "Twenty years old."
In reality, she was already twenty-five. However, considering the height difference between her and Lin Yuyan, she deliberately gave an age that was slightly younger than hers.
"Yes, you're only a year younger than me. Then I'll call you Chen Jin, okay?"
"Whatever sounds right to you," Su Chenjin replied, her expression remaining as calm and composed as ever.
Lin Yuyan took out her key, unlocked the door, and stepped inside first. Su Chenjin followed behind her into the villa. The moment the living room lights came on, Su Chenjin froze.
……big.
This was the first word that popped into her mind.
The spacious living room features floor-to-ceiling windows, an open kitchen island, and a spiral staircase leading to the second floor.
This two-story villa is excessively large; it doesn't look like the residence of a single woman at all.
"Is this Miss Lin's home?" Su Chenjin looked around, unconsciously scanning every corner.
"Uh... actually, not really." Lin Yuyan casually tossed the keys into the tray in the entryway, tilted her head, and said, "To be precise, it's a secret base."
"A secret base?"
"Um."
Lin Yuyan walked to the sofa in the living room, sat down, and patted the seat next to her, gesturing for Su Chenjin to sit as well. "This is a base provided by the Bureau of Extraordinary Strategy for the magical girls here. I usually meet up with the other magical girls here to discuss tactics and such."
Su Chenjin did not sit down, but stood in the center of the living room, calmly continuing to look up and down at the interior of the villa.
Several potted plants that looked half-dead sat in the corner, and a few magazines and a half-eaten bag of potato chips were scattered on the coffee table. The sofa cushions were askew, and a thin layer of dust had accumulated on the TV cabinet.
Overall, it looks like someone has lived here. But the people who lived here clearly don't like to tidy up.
In Lin Yuyan's novel, the protagonist's team has a secret base.
That's probably where the inspiration came from.
"There are plenty of rooms here, I'll find you one."
Seeing that Su Chenjin showed no intention of sitting down to rest, Lin Yuyan decided to get straight to the point. She stood up from the sofa, took Su Chenjin's hand, and led her upstairs. Then Lin Yuyan pushed open a door on the second floor.
The room was spacious, with a single bed placed by the window. On the other side of the room, there was a desk and a wardrobe. Overall, it wasn't cluttered, but the air was filled with a musty, stale smell from a lack of ventilation.
Clearly, this room has been uninhabited for a long time.
"Um, sorry." Lin Yuyan scratched the back of her head a little embarrassedly, "I haven't used this room before, so I'm just tidying it up a bit."
Su Chenjin immediately shook her head: "I can tidy up myself. You've already given me a place to stay, I'm very grateful, how could I possibly ask you to clean?"
"No, no. You're a guest; how can you expect a guest to clean their own room?"
"But--"
"No buts. Chen Jin, you should get some rest. Leave things here to me."
After saying that, Lin Yuyan grabbed Su Chenjin's wrist again and led her to a room next door.
This room is no different from any other room.
Besides the desk and bed also found in the next room, there were two anime posters on the wall, several delivery boxes piled up in the corner, and a lot of clothes hanging in the wardrobe. A laptop was also on the desk.
"Chen Jin, just stay in my room and get some rest." Lin Yuyan pulled out a chair, pressed Su Chen Jin down to sit, and turned on the computer. "Play whatever you want on the computer. I'll go tidy up the other side; it'll be quick."
"Really, you don't need to—"
"You're welcome, you're welcome."
As Lin Yuyan spoke, she had already retreated to the doorway, waving her hand, "Make yourself at home, I'll be right back."
boom--
The door closed.
Su Chenjin slowly turned her head to look at the computer in front of her, her face beaming with excitement.
"...Hehehe."
This is the big eunuch's computer!
I finally have the chance... to directly browse the author's computer!
Su Chenjin eagerly gripped the mouse.
Let me see!
As an author, you must have some drafts saved up, right?
Generally speaking, in order to prevent writer's block or unexpected events from affecting updates, authors with a little sense of responsibility will keep tens of thousands of words in reserve for unforeseen circumstances.
With Lin Yuyan updating only once a week and having so much free time, she must have accumulated at least a hundred thousand words in drafts.
It's possible that the plot of the National Exam arc has already been written!
Thinking of this, Su Chenjin wiped her drool and double-clicked to open the writing assistant on her desktop.
Becoming a Magical Girl, and Then Going Home
The familiar book title caught her eye, and Su Chenjin's eyes lit up as she opened the drafts folder—
Her smile vanished the moment she saw what was inside.
"Two chapters? And it's not finished yet?"
One is the latest regular chapter, and the other is a bonus chapter.
The latest chapter’s word count: 1548 words.
Side story word count: 1533 words.
"Only a little over three thousand words in total?"
Damn it, Lin Yuyan, you really are a complete eunuch!
You only update one chapter a week, and you don't even have any drafts saved up?!
But thinking about it... that's not surprising. I've seen Lin Yuyan's memories before, and he played so many mobile and single-player games... it seems he wasted all his time on those kinds of things!
An overwhelming sense of disappointment welled up inside me.
You're seriously just slacking off!
Do you know how eagerly your readers wait for your updates every day?
Su Chenjin slowly leaned back in her chair, looking up at the ceiling.
Calm down, Cheng Qi, you need to calm down.
It seems my assessment was correct. If I don't find a way to urge her to update, that book is truly doomed. At the current pace... it's unlikely we'll see the ending in another three to five years.
If any unforeseen events occur along the way, causing this chief eunuch to delay even further... then the ending will truly be a matter of life and death.
I don't want that kind of thing!
Let bygones be bygones for the mess they left behind, but this book... Great Eunuch, you must finish it!
Although I thought that since we had just started our infiltration, there was no need to rush, the current situation was not optimistic, and we could no longer afford to be so slow!
The hypnotic training of Lin Yuyan... must begin immediately!
