There were still two classes left in the afternoon, so Henry Carter simply whipped out his phone and quickly wrote out the first three chapters in one go, not even saving a draft—he just published them directly!

For online novels, the most important thing is the first three chapters. So in the first three chapters of the divine book, Henry Carter concisely and completely wrote out the plot of the useless young man being looked down upon, obtaining the divine book, and the protagonist beginning to show his potential because of the divine book, all in one go—a small climax was achieved by the end of the third chapter!

And within this small climax, the thrill of leveling up through training was already starting to show, making it impossible for readers to put it down.

Henry Carter reviewed it once more, then finally satisfied, closed the Shengshi Chinese writing app on his phone and got ready for class to end.

At a time when the essence of “爽文” (feel-good web novels) hadn’t yet been mastered in online literature, Henry Carter wasn’t worried at all that his book wouldn’t stand out. No matter what he wrote, it was the latest trend.

Because he himself was “new.” The “useless protagonist” trope might have been criticized to death in Henry Carter’s original parallel world, but here, it was definitely an unprecedentedly perfect opening.

However, just then, the Heaven’s Punishment System suddenly spoke up in Henry Carter’s mind out of nowhere: “Plagiarizing cultural achievements refers to relying on experience from another world, not just copying specific works.”

Henry Carter was stunned for a long time after hearing this before he reacted! Damn, this is basically hinting that if I use my past life’s experience to write web novels, even if I don’t copy classic works, I’ll still get a Heaven’s Punishment mission, right?

Just because these “爽点” (thrilling elements) were summed up by countless predecessors through experience! What a trap!

Why the hell didn’t you warn me earlier? If I’m doomed either way, I might as well just copy a classic and save myself the trouble!

But the Heaven’s Punishment System didn’t respond to Henry Carter’s complaints. Henry Carter forced himself to calm down and asked, “Does the punishment mission’s timer start from when the book is published, or after it’s finished?”

“After it’s finished. During the process, there must be no breaks in updates, no chapters with fewer than 4,000 words, and no forcibly dragging out the plot. Final interpretation rights belong to the Heaven’s Punishment System.”

“Phew,” Henry Carter let out a long breath. He had been thinking that he just wouldn’t finish the book, so there wouldn’t be a punishment mission, but now it seemed that wouldn’t work.

Although the Heaven’s Punishment System had blocked all the shortcuts, he was still able to relax for now. After all, it would take at least half a year to finish an online novel, even with very fast updates.

No immediate danger to his life.

At this moment, the Heaven’s Punishment System suddenly said again, “Although the mission is dangerous, completing it can also bring unimaginable rewards. Adventure has always gone hand in hand with gain and passion.”

Don’t talk to me about that, I don’t want to hear it!

When the bell rang for the end of class, a bunch of classmates rushed out. The chubby deskmate next to Henry Carter muttered quietly, “I heard that today the vice class monitor William Clark invited the girl you like, Logan Bennett, out for dinner, and he’s inviting quite a few classmates. As long as she goes, he’ll treat. Are you going?”

Henry Carter was taken aback. The girl he liked was called Logan Bennett? When did that happen? He flipped through his memories of this life and shouted in his heart, Holy crap!

He’d even written a love letter to Logan Bennett? And it had somehow been made public?

How could there be such an embarrassing thing!

He looked toward the classroom door at Logan Bennett, who was walking out. In the sunset, Logan Bennett outside the door had clear eyes, and her long, straight black hair was stunningly beautiful. It seemed… her gaze also drifted over him for a moment!

But when Henry Carter looked again, she had already left with her classmates.

To be honest, Henry Carter wasn’t in the mood for this right now. First, because his life might be in danger; second, although Logan Bennett was beautiful, she wasn’t exactly his type—chalk it up to the two parallel worlds’ Henry Carter having different tastes.

And third… he was broke!

No money to date! He only had 50 cents in his pocket. Was he supposed to say, “I’ll buy you a popsicle, you eat, I’ll just watch”?

He couldn’t even afford two popsicles—how embarrassing is that?

He’d better hurry up and mail out the Three Character Classic!

Henry Carter tossed his backpack onto his desk and didn’t bother taking it home. He greeted his chubby deskmate and headed out the door.

First, mail the Three Character Classic, then work on physical training—running, long jump!

After all, the most important thing right now was to get through this mission!

Chapter 3: The Divine Book!

In the past few days, the school had started buzzing about one person… Henry Carter!

Originally, Henry Carter was pretty much invisible at school. You could put him in a crowd and no one would notice him—his presence was practically zero.

But these past few days, he’d been acting like a madman, practicing his run-up and long jump on the track every day, over and over again—during every break, after school, always practicing…

Eventually, word got around: That guy from Class 2, Grade 3—Henry Carter, yeah, that underachiever—he’s now desperately practicing long jump. Probably thinks he’s no good at academics and wants to go the sports route! Should’ve studied harder earlier—look at him now, working so hard! What’s the point!

What’s the point, my ass! When Henry Carter heard his deskmate ask about this, he was shocked. He never expected that in just a few days, he’d become famous!
