To David Thompson's surprise, it wasn't classical Chinese, but rather something like prose, filled with many exclamations and lots of amusing sentences that made people laugh, such as—

"What is love in this world? Buddha says: Trash!!"

"If the heavens know my sincerity, then let even stones sprout."

"Buddha is in your heart, so why talk about it? Better to just fart!"

And then there's Sun Wukong in "Wukong Biography." Although the book has a humorous tone, it is even more filled with an awe-inspiring heroism, like: "Why was I born? If not to laugh. Why should I die? My arrogance will not diminish."

"If the sky oppresses me, I will cleave the sky; if the earth confines me, I will shatter the earth. We are born free—who dares to stand above us?"... Sun Wukong is a hero, a hero who stands tall and proud. This was David Thompson's feeling after finishing the book.

"This is Aunt Wang's private number. If Xiao Chen's parents sign off, you can call Aunt Wang." Olivia Martinez was subtly seeing them off, and Brian Carter naturally took the hint, leaving the publishing house with David Thompson.

"Xiao Si, did you really write that 'Wukong Biography'?" David Thompson.

"Of course I did. In Huaxia, it's clearly stipulated that plagiarism can get you thirty years."

"Xiao Si, you're really amazing, you can actually publish a book." There was already a hint of admiration in David Thompson's eyes.

It's been said that the three types of men most attractive to women are: first, the artistic youth. Artistic youths are eloquent, able to compose little love poems at will, and girls seem especially fond of this—they call it romantic.

The second type is the playboy. Some say a playboy is like a gust of wind, unrestrained and wild. For young married women, this easily stirs up their maternal instincts, making them want to make this wind settle down, but in the end, they just drift along with it.

The third is the mature man. There's a saying: when a male loser gets old, he's just called "master," but the term "mature man" is reserved for the rich and handsome.

This saying shows that not everyone can be a mature man. These men are mature, have a certain level of knowledge and culture, and are attentive and know how to care for others. Therefore, for "lolis"—girls lacking fatherly love—they have a particularly powerful appeal.

Young girls, young married women, and lolis are each attracted to artistic youths, playboys, and mature men, respectively.

"Xiao Si, where are we going now?" David Thompson.

"Of course, back to the classroom. I bet the first class is already over. Congratulations, class monitor, on successfully skipping class."

"Ah!" David Thompson suddenly realized, her face turning pale. Only now did she remember she had skipped class to go to the publishing house.

"Haha, just kidding. I already asked the teacher for leave."

"You little rascal, you dare trick me!" Under the morning sun, the boy and girl chased and played—these are the most beautiful memories of youth...

Chapter 3: Choice

"Wukong Biography" is at least a hundred thousand words long. If you had only read it in your previous life, even seven or eight times, it would be impossible to copy it out word for word. But Brian Carter managed to do it—not because Brian Carter had an extraordinary memory or photographic recall, but because there was a search engine in his mind.

Most importantly, this search engine seemed to be connected to Earth. In other words, as long as Brian Carter thought about it, he could search for whatever he wanted. That was exactly how he answered David Thompson's earlier question, and how he got "Wukong Biography."

Even though this world cracks down hard on piracy, it's hard to judge things spread online. Online novels are still very popular here, and methods like manual typing and screenshots for piracy still exist. But the sense of copyright here is much stronger, so writers are in a much better position than on Earth—at least, there are twice as many people earning a million a year.

Indeed, in this world where online novels are even more developed than on Earth, there are many classic novels. But there are also plenty of classic online novels from Earth, so Brian Carter decided to write online novels to make money.

Of course, writing online novels requires a prerequisite: a computer you can use by yourself.

There was indeed a computer at Brian Carter's home, but it was in his parents' room, and his father's computer was needed for work, with important files on it. In short, it was inconvenient, so he needed to earn some money to buy his own computer.

So he chose to submit to a publisher. Buying a computer doesn't cost much—just a few thousand—so a novella of about a hundred thousand words would be enough.

Brian Carter immediately searched in his mind and finally chose "Wukong Biography" by Jin Hezai. Although this book is only about a hundred thousand words, it is called the number one online novel and was even adapted into a game.

With such a prestigious book, publishing it in the flourishing online literature scene of the Federation in 2012 was naturally not a problem. Sure enough, Brian Carter's submission to Deyun Publishing House passed the review.

Using Earth's vast knowledge to conquer this world, while building his own cultural empire—novels, anime, music, scripts.

Novels and scripts were easy enough; he could just copy what he searched for in his mind. But anime was a different story—he hadn't learned to draw, so no matter how exciting the manga's plot was, no one would understand it.
