I'm drawing an action-packed anime within a depressing one!

"If I remember correctly, about two weeks later, there was a major plot point that almost resulted in someone dying..."

"He needs to improve!"

Tian Xiaoxi vaguely remembered that she had specially designed a story about the school's past and the old principal's major crisis after this course test, hoping to create a plot full of climaxes.

We need to talk to He Zhou!

She hadn't originally planned for any demons to possess ordinary people, so why did the difficulty suddenly increase?

Most importantly!

She didn't even care about the comics he drew!

He actually changed her main storyline!

Can't stand it!

If he even steals the main storyline, won't she get no rewards at all in the future?

Half an hour later.

Editor Baiyun sent a message.

[Editor Bai Yun: I don't have He Zhou's phone number or address either. Last time, he sent the contract directly to our company.]

[Editor Baiyun: There's only one shipping address here, but it's overseas, so finding him might not be easy.]

[Editor Baiyun: However, I do have an email address that I used to contact him. I've copied the email address for you.]

[Editor Baiyun: You still doubt he's real? Impossible, he even has an ID card.]

...

I have obtained the address and email address.

Tian Xiaoxi sat up straight, preparing to send an email. She put on a serious face and began to think carefully about how to phrase it.

This must be taken seriously! Seriously! This must be emphasized!

We can no longer allow He Zhou to change the difficulty level she set!

The main storyline is always more difficult than what she typed!

I don't know what happened!

Surely it's not like my old million-word outline suddenly started running on its own?

[Tian Xiaoxi: Dear comic collaborator He Zhou, I know you have a lot of opinions about the comic He Zhou, but you can't keep increasing the difficulty of the main storyline on your own just to torment the comic He Zhou and test me.]

I don't know what you're trying to test me for! My original plan wasn't for demons to possess ordinary people! Nor was it to escalate the casualties at Mingde Garden! And certainly not to have several students from the experimental class die this afternoon!

It's so hard for me to cover this up! And I'm going to get scolded!

If you keep making things this difficult, I'm coming to find you! I already have your address!

Email! Send!

Chapter 50: Received an email from the author? (Please continue reading)

in the afternoon.

During a basic physical fitness and survival adaptation class, He Zhou suddenly saw a strange email address besides the comments section.

"mail?"

"Could this be..."

He Zhou was initially wondering how he could suddenly see this email address, but when he saw the sender [Tian Xiaoxi], he immediately guessed it.

It's basically that the system registers emails using your own identity, so you can also see the contents of those emails.

There are two emails in total.

The first letter was fairly polite.

The second message was sent a while later; she seemed to be getting angrier the more she thought about it, and she used more exclamation marks than in the first message.

Tian Xiaoxi: You've gone too far! What's wrong with the program you made for me?

There's only a plus sign for inputting plot details! I'm a comic book author! Right now, I can only input one plot outline per day! And it's still not working!

Why did you deliberately make your character's carrying capacity so low in "Monster City"?

I want to add some abilities to He Zhou's comic, but I can't! We need to negotiate amicably about the permissions for this main storyline! If you change all my main storylines, how much will you deduct from my next month's royalties?! Waaaaah...

soon.

Because He Zhou didn't actually do anything, but was just watching the screen, she successfully retracted the email.

I revised it before sending it back, and the tone became much more 'friendly'.

[Tian Xiaoxi: I hope we can achieve a friendly cooperation. What do you think about a 40/60 ratio between our main storyline and the comics, with each side not interfering with the other's plot?]

...

The email contained a lot of information.

Tian Xiaoxi faces many restrictions.

She could only add plot points using the "+" button.

It seems that this is because the world has become the real world, and it's no longer a comic book that can be changed at will.

But He Zhou felt that this was actually a good thing for him.

Although Tian Xiaoxi didn't understand why her plot design failed, He Zhou did.

Seeing Jiang Dai's reaction that time, her arrangement could only be implanted into the character's mind as a fleeting thought.

It's like suddenly having the thought of 'wanting to cook'.

If you don't feel like cooking right now, you'll probably think the next second: I'm too lazy to go, I'll just order takeout.

But Tian Xiaoxi hasn't yet considered "Monster City" as the real world, so naturally she doesn't understand the logic behind the rejection.

...

"reply!"

"A reply is necessary!"

Because you can only view comments and not reply to them, and the same goes for emails; you can only view comments and not reply to them.

He Zhou prepared to write a line of text on a piece of A4 paper in the comic.

But as soon as he picked up the paintbrush, he stopped abruptly.

and many more.

He Zhou was deep in thought.

Not revealing your hand is the foundation of the game.

Although I currently have higher authority than Tian Xiaoxi, it wouldn't be appropriate to reveal my hand to her.

They might even require you to focus solely on the main storyline.

No no no.

On the contrary, her current focus on saving He Zhou, the comic artist, and her desire to use his comics to generate traffic and make money is the best approach.

He Zhou spent half a day revising and modifying.

I had just figured out what to write on the comic strip to reply to her.

...

in the afternoon.

After resting for a while, before the "Basic Physical Fitness and Survival Adaptation" class, the teacher, Zhang Jianwei, came to the classroom.

He walked hurriedly.

"Everyone, go to the old gymnasium in the north area of ​​the school that hasn't been used for a long time for the test this afternoon."

"This afternoon's class is on physical fitness and survival adaptation. We need to conduct a survey of everyone's basic conditions and rank them across the whole school."

Physical fitness?

Are you going to go for a run?

This afternoon looks like it's impossible to draw comics.

Forget it.

Let's go back and work hard tonight.

Now that my character has leveled up, I spend about four or five hours a day reading comics.

I could draw until after dinner after class, so it wasn't too much of a delay.

...

Some students in the regular classes were not very interested.

"Teacher, we're just a regular class, how can we compare to the experimental class?"

"Yes."

"Besides, it's pointless. When that time really comes, it won't hurt anyway."

That was before.

Zhang Jianwei interrupted them: "Things have changed now."

"When Kirishima No. 7 Middle School came more than half a month ago, you should have heard the students shouting outside the cafeteria, right?"

The piercing screams alone conveyed the excruciating pain of the person attacked by the demons, as if their very soul was being torn apart and absorbed.

Many students in regular classes suddenly became more serious.

It's okay if it doesn't hurt.

But if it hurts a lot...

Let's listen to the school then.

...

He Zhou knew more than the other students.

In the past, ordinary people couldn't see those things. Although ordinary people had low self-protection capabilities, the probability of something happening was also low. Even if they died, it wouldn't hurt anyway.

So the school doesn't really care.

But things are different now.

If an ordinary person becomes a vessel, the consequences are far more severe than mere death.

Who knows if there are other factors that might affect ordinary people?

The school's attitude towards ordinary people naturally changed immediately.

It can only allow ordinary people to cultivate. Once they awaken the Lamp Pool and embark on cultivation, at least they won't become a vessel for demons when they die.

"You can come down once you're ready."

The teacher left after speaking, only instructing them to take the test themselves.

...

When it was time for class to start.

Everyone headed to the old stadium to the north.

This main road in the North District has been abandoned for a long time.

This place was shut down for some inexplicable reason before.

The northernmost gate on the main road leading to the old campus was also sealed off and remains closed.

Seeing the still-sealed north gate, Xiao Wen couldn't help but say, "Going out of the north gate leads to the old campus to the north."

"The old campus?"

"Old He, this is the place you're supposed to clean next week."
