At 3 a.m., the landmines in front of the station

"Wow, it seems Da Zhang is right."

Su Che was quite interested and asked about the rest of the story.

With a small chuckle, she said smugly:

"See? I've piqued your interest in reading. You're under the spell of anticipation, itching to read more, and I've got you hooked! This means my writing is quite interesting, and it'll be a huge hit next year! A sensation across the country! Hmm!"

"...So, what happened to that magician after he was defiled by the Demon King? Please summarize the content of these tens of thousands of words in one sentence."

Su Che asked with a straight face and a serious expression.

"Of course, it's about living a shameless dungeon life! Every morning I'd wake up and say good morning, at noon I'd study evil magic, then have a duo battle with the Demon King, and at night I'd go back to the dungeon to sleep, occasionally being favored by the Demon King, and sometimes even sneaking a sip of coffee he bought from human towns..."

"..."

Su Che found it increasingly strange as he listened, and interjected with a question that seemed illogical: "Why would the Demon King teach a magician evil magic?"

"Because magicians have a talent for learning dark magic!"

"What kind of black magic is it exactly?"

"For example, blasphemy! Hypnosis! Confusion! Marking! Aphrodisiac! And tentacles!"

"...This is too Cthulhu-esque; you've come up with all sorts of weird things."

Su Che shook his head, thinking that Xiao Xiao was quite talented when it came to imagination.

However, her ideas are too unconventional, and what she writes is extremely risky. In the long run, it is unlikely that her work will take off.

Su Che decided to gently dissuade her again, telling her that writing royal fantasy novels was a dead end.

"Xiaoxiao, if you write details of dual cultivation every day, it will become borderline fiction, which is not allowed by most platforms. Even if all the readers love it, your book won't last long. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Huh? But if everyone loves reading it, why won't I be allowed to write it? I don't understand."

She thought about it and even gave an example—

"Take Su Che for example. It's clearly delicious, and others can eat it too, but he just won't let me have any. Why is that? I don't understand."

"...Wait a minute."

Su Che was almost confused by her. He looked down and saw that she had already sat down next to him, their arms were pressed together, and if they were linked arms, the distance between them would instantly make them look like a couple.

Too dangerous.

"You clearly said that if I gather enough material, I can write a good book, and I completely agree with your suggestion. I also want to gather enough high-quality material. But every time I want to gather material, you don't have time to accompany me, so I'm stuck here and can only write using the old method. Sigh."

Lin Xiao sighed softly, taking all the blame upon herself.

"No, what does the fact that I was present or not have to do with the research..."

"Of course! You told me that when you write a book, you need to choose a suitable person as the female lead and get material from her, right?"

"correct."

"So when I write a book, don't I also have to follow your ideas, choose a suitable person as the male protagonist, and obtain practical material from him? Am I wrong?"

She blinked, then, drawing inferences from one instance to another and putting herself in another's shoes, left Su Che speechless.

“You didn’t need to include me, especially as the ultimate villain. This… this isn’t very respectful of me… I’m not a demon king whose mind is always filled with lewd thoughts… I would never go to extremes with my captives or make crazy demands.”

He pointed out the unrealistic aspects, "Besides, no demon lord would use a tentacle spell on a captured human female mage. Don't you think that's incredibly inhumane?"

"How is it inhumane! How can you be so sure that the young magician wasn't actually happy? How can you be so certain that she didn't intentionally lose to the Demon King! My plot has foreshadowing and twists, I just haven't written them yet! This is the climax, you wouldn't understand it at first glance! Hmph!"

"...?"

Su Che was convinced.

Thinking about it, her imperial book actually has multiple plot twists?

It can be said that they put their efforts into the wrong place.

"Okay, okay. Write whatever you want, but what I mean is, you can't put all the blame on me."

"I don't care. If you teach me, you have to accompany me to gather materials. Otherwise, you're being irresponsible, like you're not doing your job properly and then you'll look down on me."

"........."

well.

Su Che realized that she had become completely attached to him.

"Okay, what kind of material do you want? Tell me more. Let me think about how to refuse you."

"..."

Lin Xiao snorted and stopped acting, speaking bluntly:

"I've never really known how to describe touch, one of the five senses."

"Touch?"

"correct."

She nodded, trying to remain as serious as possible:

"Isn't it said that incorporating sight, hearing, taste, smell, and touch into a book greatly increases the sense of immersion from a first-person perspective?"

But when it comes to tactile sensations, I often don't know how a character will react when they touch something. This causes me to get stuck, and I always stumble on the description part when I have writer's block. I have no experience!

"I see..."

Su Che pondered, "Touch... let me think..."

He began to recall how he usually wrote this part of the content.

I write mostly urban romance light novels, and in terms of tactile sensations, they mostly involve physical contact between the male and female protagonists.

This source of inspiration was quite simple for him.

It's based on a house cat, and you can easily create one by just fiddling around with it.

However, considering that she didn't have this convenience before she came, she still needed to come up with a solution for Lin Xiao when there were no models.

"Fantasy? Can't you think of anything?"

He tried to gloss over it.

"Of course not! I've never seen the real thing, how could I have such a vivid imagination!"

Lin Xiao shook her head vigorously, denying it repeatedly.

"Which part of the tactile experience would you like to write about? Give some examples."

"I want to write about the feeling and reaction when touching the body, and the feel of touching bones."

She said earnestly.

"Touch bones? Why would you touch that thing?" Su Che didn't understand.

"Sigh. Even orthopedic surgeons study bones before treating patients. My book features demons, so of course I'll have to include a lot of descriptions of bones! If I study what bones feel like to touch, then I can write about them when the characters interact closely!"

"Alright, so how are you going to choose this material? Are you going to write about the tactile sensations related to the Demon King?"

"Yes, yes. Underneath the Demon King's cloak are only bones, no flesh, so I have to write about bones."

"Oh, I see, that's how it's set up."

Su Che thought for a moment, then suddenly asked, "So you're not trying to get a feeling by touching me, are you? Xiao Xiao, if that's what you're thinking, then I advise you to give up. Even though we're teammates, we can't cross certain boundaries. Otherwise, if they find out, how will I ever..."

"Hey, no! Don't worry! I'm such an upright person, why would I make things difficult for you! I knew you wouldn't agree, so I didn't even think about it that way, Su Che! Don't flatter yourself!"

She waved her hand, seemingly indicating that she genuinely didn't mean it that way.

Su Che breathed a sigh of relief and said repeatedly, "That's good, that's good. It seems I misunderstood."

He felt a little relieved, then changed the subject and asked, "So, how do you plan to fix this tactile issue?"

"hey-hey……"

Just then, Xiao Xiao suddenly gave a cryptic laugh...

Someone's heart skipped a beat, and they immediately sensed something was wrong.

"You may have forgotten that in the climax of the story, our heroine is the one who is conquered and imprisoned."

"Ah, it seems so."

"Yes, so the part I wanted to research wasn't the female lead touching the demon king's bones. She couldn't do that, her hands were controlled and she couldn't move, right?"

"Hmm, so what did she experience?"

"It was the sensation of being treated like a plaything never seen before by the Demon King, being toyed with inch by inch—the touch of those large, distinctly knuckled hands—"

The storyline I want to gather material for is in this part.

Xiao Xiao licked her lips, leaned forward slightly, her body flexibly stretched, and looked up with burning desire, pleading:

"So, Su Che, could you satisfy my academic curiosity and help me reproduce the behavior involving the keyword 'checking the integrity of the prey'? This is crucial for me, really."

Chapter 168 Gu Zhi's Love Trap: The Insidious Erosion in the Music Room

Faced with a small and unreasonable request, what would Su Che choose to do?

...

...

Su Che and Lin Xiao walked out of the "Clover in Another Place" hotel.

The former's clothes were disheveled, while the latter's face was flushed.

He returned the room key at the bar and turned to Xiaoxiao, saying:

"Just this once, okay? If you're going to do research properly, then do it properly. Don't keep making strange requests... I shouldn't have believed you when you said you wouldn't do anything else."

"Hehehehe..."

Lin Xiao turned her head away, changing the subject, "Anyway, as long as the research was successful, that's all that matters~"

Next time you encounter a writing bottleneck, feel free to ask me for material. I'm super generous and won't hold back on anything! Plus, I'm always available whenever you need me!
