Universe Infinite Canteen.

Chapter 624 Reality
The banquet lasted until early the next morning, but when Malu looked at the traveler's bracelet on his wrist, he found that less than 5 minutes had passed.

Zhu Jiu is right. The time in the novel is completely different from that outside. Here, a year or two may pass with just a word from the author.

After the banquet was over, Malu even took a nap in the village and went to the pond to feed the exotic beasts raised there.

Zhu Qingqing found him and paid him the remaining 4 star coins as agreed, and thanked him and Lao Wang again for being willing to enter the book to help them prepare the banquet.

Malu accepted the star coin and said, "You are too polite, Chief Zhu. You can contact us again if you want to hold a banquet in the future."

Zhu Qingqing smiled and nodded, then shook her head, "We will probably stay in this book for a while, and the next supporting role festival may be ten years later."

"Can I ask one more question? This book is so badly written, why don't you consider living in a different book?"

Malu couldn't help but ask, "Or is Zheng Qian the only great writer in this plane?"

“Well, it’s true that in the eyes of outsiders, “The Great Emperor of the Ancient World Begins with the Cancellation of the Engagement” is an absolutely bad book, and even our own people have complained about this a lot.

“But this doesn’t mean that this book has no merits. As supporting characters, and having lived here for a while, we should still have a say.

“The great author wrote a full 70,000 words of settings for this book, and also hand-painted more than a dozen maps. He put a lot of effort into the details, but it was overshadowed by the clichéd plot. No one except us cared about it, and he was actually not like this before.

“When he first started writing online novels, the stories were quite interesting. Although they were sometimes messy, they also had many fantastic ideas and interesting developments.

"It just didn't suit the tastes of most readers, so the sales were not very good. So he learned from his mistakes and started to study the market trends and various tricks. He kept repeating the tips for avoiding spoilers every day, and gradually he became obsessed with it.

“On the one hand, I tried hard to imitate the works in the front of the bestseller list, but I couldn’t completely let go of my personal preferences. I was stuck in the middle, neither up nor down, and ended up with the weird look I have now.

"In the end, he went crazy and was sent to a mental hospital, where he was still dreaming of success and fame.

“I’m not saying this to excuse him, nor am I saying that the book ‘The Ancient Emperor’s Breaking Off the Engagement’ isn’t bad.

“I have lived for more than three hundred years and have lived in hundreds of novels, both famous works and books worse than “The Ancient Emperor Starts from Breaking Off the Engagement”.

“No matter how moving the story is, no matter how realistic the world is, to me they are all fiction, and once you realize this, it’s hard to immerse yourself in it completely.

“In the final analysis, we on stage are different from the people off stage. We always know in our hearts that no matter how well a story is performed, it is just a story.

“But even in this fictional world that is built entirely of imagination, there is ‘reality’, and that ‘reality’ is the emotions invested by the creators and their growth.

“Zheng Qian is writing about our lives, and we are also reading about his life.”

Zhu Qingqing said, "When reading a novel, I worry the most about the author's bad ending. It's the same for us in the book. Once we choose a great writer, we will accompany him until the last moment of his life and read his life, whether it's good or bad, although he won't know of our existence."

"——Do your works always have readers? Well, this feeling is inexplicably romantic." Malu said.

Back on the bed in the mental hospital, Malu heard the familiar crackling sound again.

The lights in the ward had been turned off at this time, but Zheng Qian was still typing on the keyboard in the dark.

The dim light from the laptop screen made him look like a ghost.

For a full five and a half hours, except for taking the medicine brought by the nurse, Zheng Qian did not rest for a moment. He not only typed out the four thousand words for the day, but also typed another thousand words while he was in good shape.

Only after the drama at Shangguan's house came to an end did he relax, pick up the iron lunch box by the windowsill, and scoop out the cold rice inside. It was only then that he noticed the millipede on the bed.

"Hey, you guys have been here all this time and haven't gone back?"

Malu yawned again. Although quite a bit of time had passed, he felt that the effect of the pill had not completely worn off and his head was still dizzy.

"Why don't you look sleepy at all? Didn't they give you medicine?"

"Oh, I eat too much and have developed drug resistance. Besides, I have to type. No matter how sleepy I am, I won't fall asleep until I finish typing." Zheng Qian said proudly, puffing out his chest.

"Then you are really awesome." Millipede yawned again.

"That's great. Since you're not asleep, why don't you take a look at what I'm going to say next?"

"No thanks, I'll just go back and subscribe."

"Oh, that's even better. Hey, wait." Zheng Qian seemed to have thought of something. His expression suddenly changed and he slapped his thigh.

"You can't bring cell phones into the mental hospital. If you come in, doesn't that mean I'll be missing a subscription forever?!"

"Don't worry, we will be out soon and we won't let you lose your subscription. By then, not only will I subscribe, I will also ask my friends to subscribe as well." Malu patted Zheng Qian's shoulder.

"Is it true?" Zheng Qian asked in surprise.

"Liar is a puppy."

"No. 1 on the list, from now on you are my No. 1 brother!" Zheng Qian couldn't close his mouth with a smile.

"That's not necessary. Your book..."

"What's wrong with my book? Is there anything else you want to revise?" Zheng Qian put down his lunch box and created a special document. "Just tell me, I'll write it down."

"No, nothing." Malu changed his mind when the time came. "The Ancient Emperor Begins with the Broken Engagement" is no longer something that can be saved by changing anything, so it's better to cut it off and start over.

However, considering Zhu Qingqing and others who are still living in the book, Malu did not make this suggestion.

Just before leaving, he said to Zheng Qian, "Come on! I'll wait for your update."

Zheng Qian was so excited when he heard this that he almost cried.

It took some effort for Malu and Lao Wang to enter Sunshine Psychiatric Hospital, but it was much easier to get out.

He directly took out the [This is Very Beaver] he brought with him. Millipede had already used [This is Very Beaver] once this month, and there were two more chances to use it.

Considering that it is better to keep it for emergency use, Malu did not use it when he was admitted to the mental hospital this time, and saved it for use when he was discharged.

Under the influence of "This is Very Beaver", Malu and Lao Wang completed the discharge procedures in less than half a day after being hospitalized, and left Sunshine Psychiatric Hospital with the farewell of doctors and nurses.
