Chapter 5: Waiting For the New Book’s Exchange Benefits

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Chen Yi had a flash of inspiration, and the corners of his mouth curled up into a smile. Time changes everything!

He could not help but sigh and patted the flesh on his stomach again. The abdominal muscles that could still be seen before were about to become a real beer belly…

As the level L 0 exchange benefits could only be a physical change, then since he had this opportunity… why not use it to “shape” his own image?

He could write a book about “physique”!

Or it could be the protagonist’s experience of a comeback!

As long as the protagonist had a ‘perfect physique’ characteristic, then he could use the wish points to exchange for it!

As he thought about it, Chen Yi did not hesitate and contacted Salted Fish.

“Are you there, Salted Fish? I have a new novel idea. I want to hear your opinion and see if the protagonist’s characteristics can be exchanged?”

After a while, Salted Fish replied.

Salted Fish: “Starry eyes emoticon! Wow, boss, you have a new novel idea already? What is it about?”

Chen Yi: “It’s about the physique. The main character creates a perfect physique through weight loss and fitness. The physique should be considered a set of attributes, right? Can I exchange for it using the wish points?”

Salted Fish said, “Yes, L 0 authors can exchange for normal body changes.”

After reading the editor’s message stating that there was no problem with his novel idea, Chen Yi was full of energy and couldn’t wait to work out the plot of the novel!

Then Salted Fish said again, “But you need to be more careful when you write, boss. Because the virtual readers and text-based readers are different, the readers may have different understandings of the setup of your novel. This will result in multiple options appearing in the wish points redemption shop… the rule is that you can only exchange for one item at a time.”

“Okay, I got it. I’ll go and work out the plot of the novel first. I’ll contact you if there’s anything else.”

These words were nothing more than a reminder to Chen Yi so that he would pay more attention when creating the character!

Salted Fish: “Okay, don’t work too hard, boss! Good luck!”

Chen Yi created a new document and began to write the outline.

From the afternoon until 9 pm, Chen Yi revised and finally completed the outline after thinking about it carefully. He then began to write!

He still pondered for a long time on the character’s characteristics.

Since the novel was about a perfect physique, it had to involve getting into shape, fitness, or weight loss, martial arts, freestyle grappling, boxing, and so on.

Moreover, this kind of setting had to be reflected from the character, and it had to be the central highlight of the protagonist!

There might be a variety of options for the exchange, but he could only choose one of them, so it was best to start with a “good physique” as the highlight or an advantage!

If he created too many advantages for the protagonist, it would cause different readers to like different characteristics. Moreover, there was text-based reading and also virtual reading for the novel. If there were too many characteristics… it would be too crude.

Also, Chen Yi did not know how the attributes are chosen for the exchange shop. Just to be safe, he would highlight one in the end, so that there would be no other concerns.

Thus, he considered the identity of the person. A fitness coach, a boxer, a grappling specialist… These were all the types of bodies he wanted. He didn’t need a magnificent body.

Other than that, Yi Chen also considered a few others, such as secret guards, generals, mercenaries, or soldiers.

Secret guards and generals were set in ancient times, and they usually wouldn’t take off their clothes. Moreover, secret guards acted in the dark. Even if their bodies were good, it wouldn’t be obvious! As for generals… taking off their clothes and acting like hoodlums? That wasn’t good either…

Then there were only mercenaries or soldiers left. The difference between the two was in the organization, discipline, and the principles that they followed. They pursued different goals. Mercenaries were mostly after benefits, while soldiers were the strength of the country, and they placed emphasis on discipline and loyalty!

Chen Yi himself was more inclined towards soldiers. After all, everyone would want to wear military uniforms and serve the country out of a sense of patriotism!

There was another point that needed to be considered. Soldiers generally paid more attention to skills and physical training. Their figures were good, but when a group of men took off their shirts to compare their figures, it was always somewhat incongruous.

In the end, Chen Yi combined all the characteristics and decided on the title of the book, “Forever Chasing The Mighty Waves — The Growth And Transformation of A Military King!”

The main character’s name was Zhang Zhi, a juvenile sports school swimmer. Because of his family’s private matters, he had to give up his qualification for the national competition. In the end, he chose to join the army and become a soldier. After he retired, he still did not give up his childhood dream. However, he was already old, and he had been turned away time and time again!

Zhang Zhi did not give up. He could not participate in the competition on his own, so he became a swimming coach and led some athletes with potential. Apart from leading official athletes, he also had a part-time job as a swimming coach in a gym.

Because his physique had been strengthened in the army, many students had signed up for his swimming class! When those students saw Zhang Zhi’s figure, almost all of their blood boiled. They wanted to be as good as Zhang Zhi! All of them acted as if they were on steroids, including his students that were on the national team. In the end, they took back a national trophy and gave it to Zhang Zhi.

Focusing on the second half of the narration, he added more side descriptions. Chen Yi portrayed the image of the characters through other characters’ expressions and thoughts. That should be enough. Chen Yi said he would do it and he will definitely get it done!

After lighting a cigarette, Chen Yi went into high-speed writing mode.

At three in the morning, he let out a breath.

He felt that his waist was about to be destroyed, and his eyes were extremely uncomfortable.

His hand speed was not bad, and with the golden finger’s high-speed small motor, his speed even increased!

In four hours, nearly 100,000 words were posted on the Evil God website.

“I can’t do it anymore, I’m done for the day… Let’s rest today,” He moved his joints slightly dispiritedly and finally looked at the author’s data.

After looking at the data, he nodded his head in satisfaction. There were indeed many options for exchanging his wish points, but Chen Yi had a purpose. If the ‘Likability’ exceeded 80, he would obtain wish points…

It was currently 30, so he had already obtained a quarter of it.

“Looks like I will get enough tomorrow!” Chen Yi muttered to himself. He dropped Salted Fish a greeting and prepared to go to bed.

As he thought about how he could wait for the exchange benefits from his new novel the next day, he was really excited!

Because of his excitement, Chen Yi got up at nine o’clock the next day. He washed up and ate. He couldn’t wait to check the novel’s data.
