Telling Little William to go play by himself, David Clark sat down in front of the computer and tossed the phone he’d picked up onto the bed. Then he shook his head, “Stop thinking about it, focus on business! Today’s my lucky day, strike while the iron is hot!” He slapped his face hard, and opened QQ. At that moment, QQ started flashing wildly—it was Grace Foster!

Could it be that the first chapter was finished? David Clark instantly perked up—

Grace Foster: “Brother Ri Tian, I’ve written the first chapter, can you take a look and see if it’s okay?”

The first chapter of “Battle Through the Heavens” was freshly completed!

This was truly the best possible news for David Clark, so he quickly accepted the file and started reading—

“‘Battle Through the Heavens’!”

“This is a world of Dou Qi, without flashy and gorgeous magic, only Dou Qi that has evolved to its peak!”

Of course, David Clark would never forget this introduction, so it felt very authentic.

He continued reading—

Chapter One: The Fallen Genius.

“Xiao Yan, Dou Qi level, third stage! Rank: low!” Next to the magic stone tablet that measured Dou Qi, the examiner glanced at the information displayed on the tablet and immediately announced the result. His tone was extremely indifferent, not even sparing a proper look at the boy being tested.

Hearing the examiner announce the result, and seeing the five glaring characters on the magic stone tablet, Xiao Yan’s face was expressionless, but there was a faint trace of self-mockery at the corner of his lips.

His tightly clenched fist, from gripping too hard, had his nails digging deep into his palm, and blood dripped down from his hand...

At this moment, upon hearing the result, the surging crowd in the square immediately began to stir—

“Third stage? Haha, this ‘genius’ really is stuck in place again!”

“Ai, what a pity, the once dazzling genius has now become a useless person with no progress at all, haha!”

...

After all, this wasn’t a direct copy of the original, so this first chapter was still a bit different from what David Clark remembered. Of course, there was nothing wrong with the plot: the once genius Xiao Yan was mocked, then other family members stepped up to be tested, and then the attention-grabbing Miss Xun’er made her appearance...

Overall, the entire first chapter was still very well written. At least in David Clark’s opinion, this Grace Foster’s writing could probably capture about eighty percent of the essence of “Battle Through the Heavens.” As for anything better—ten yuan per thousand words, what more could you ask for?

John Clark: “Read it, not bad, really not bad. This first chapter is definitely good enough. Keep up the good work on the next ones, keep it up!”

Grace Foster: “Brother Ri Tian, is this opening okay? Hahaha, I really felt inspired writing it. I’ll go continue now—if I can keep up this state today, I think I can write two more chapters!”

John Clark: “Keep it up, keep it up, I’ll settle up with you tomorrow!”

Grace Foster: “Alright, no problem, I’ll show you the second chapter when it’s done!”

John Clark: “Mm, sounds good. By the way, once you finish the first three chapters, if we can officially use them, we’ll sign a confidentiality agreement and then start formal cooperation!”

Grace Foster: “Okay, Brother Ri Tian, I’ll definitely work hard!”

John Clark: “Good, go for it, try to write more since it’s a holiday today!”

Grace Foster: “Alright!”

The chat ended quickly, and David Clark let out a satisfied sigh: “I really am invincible today! A little brother just fell from the sky, hahahaha!”

For David Clark, this first step was of immense significance.

Because with this experience, he could mass-produce all kinds of successful novels!

Although it would never be exactly the same as the original, as long as it could reach seventy or eighty percent of the original, David Clark was sure that the book would definitely become a hit!

The most important thing was, he could keep replicating successful cases!

With the example of “Battle Through the Heavens,” David Clark had truly opened the door to a new world.

He couldn’t write himself? No problem, with so many great novel plots and settings in his head, even if he couldn’t write, he could find someone who could! As long as their writing was decent, and with his own input, it would definitely be good enough!

So after sitting in front of the computer for about twenty minutes, David Clark created a text document and started typing.

“Swallowed Star.”

In his original world, this was a super popular book on par with “Battle Through the Heavens.”

If “Battle Through the Heavens” could be called the textbook of fantasy novels, then “Swallowed Star” was definitely the pinnacle of science fiction novels!

The plot of this book is set in the future, where Earth is infected by a creature called the RR virus, the whole planet mutates, and humans begin to develop martial artists, eventually defeating powerful mutant monsters...

...

Once David Clark started writing, more than three hours passed without him realizing it.

When he finally came to his senses and checked the time, it was already past four in the afternoon.

The sound of a key turning in the door was heard, followed by his mom’s voice: “Hao’er, I’m telling you, you’re not a kid anymore, still playing games? Did you find a suitable job today?—Whose dog is this?!”

Little William: “Woof woof!”
