Chapter 56: Operations Manager
Chapter 56: Operations Manager
The Creator God who showed disrespect towards his Master and fans, endured a night with a durian on his head. Meditating with a durian on his head, even sleeping felt like rolling a durian on his belly.
However, Chu Ge had grown accustomed to it and hardly felt anything anymore, continuing to sleep undisturbed.
Before going to sleep, he attempted to eavesdrop on the sounds from the next room. He heard Qiu Wuji sneakily leave the room and head to the bathroom, followed by the sound of running water.
A smile curved on Chu Ge’s lips once again. This feeling was truly pleasant.
In fact, it wasn’t until later that Chu Ge suddenly realized they seemed to have missed a rather important topic today…
Previously, when Zhang Qiren was attacked, he instinctively shielded him. Shouldn’t discussing this matter have been the focus?
What kind of ability did the assailant possess? What level did his defense reach by blocking the attack? And what kind of ability did Zhang Qiren actually possess? And so on…
It seemed like none of that mattered at all. It was more important to tease her a bit.
Hmm, indeed, it wasn’t important. Previously, Qiu Wuji secretly searched the soul of the person who could walk through walls and even attempted to distance herself for her own agenda, just to explore the world of supernatural abilities. Now, what she said was, “If you cause us any trouble, I won’t acknowledge you as his friend.”
Living a peaceful life truly seemed more important than all those matters.
Chu Ge listened to the sound coming from the bathroom and fell asleep with the durian on his head.
In his dream, he seemed to see Qiu Wuji. She appeared by his bedside with a shy smile and leaned down to kiss him. “Goodnight, my husband.”
Chu Ge immediately embraced her and kissed her passionately.
Undescribable things happened.
Then, he was awakened by a durian poking him somewhere.
Chu Ge widened his eyes and hunched his body, curling up in a fetal position. It seems the Golden Bell Shield hasn’t fully formed yet…
“Hmm? You look a bit tired today,” the next morning, Qiu Wuji brushed her teeth and looked at Chu Ge on the treadmill. “Didn’t sleep well last night?”
Chu Ge panted while running, “No, slept well, slept well.”
Qiu Wuji had a mouth full of foam, the toothbrush going in and out, and she looked at him suspiciously, but couldn’t figure out anything.
Finally, she let out a “hmph” and went back to the bathroom.
After brushing her teeth and placing the toothbrush on the washbasin, Qiu Wuji’s gaze became a bit trance-like.
There were two identical chibi version cultivator characters printed on the toothbrush holder, one male and one female, one blue cup and one pink cup. The toothbrushes were identical, and so were the towels.
Moon Shadow called them a “couple,” Zhang Qiren called her “sister-in-law.”
She caught sight of herself in the mirror and noticed the blush on her cheeks.
These mortals understood nothing! Who said this meant they were husband and wife?
This was just a normal practice of using the same utensils in the sect!
Qiu Wuji let out another “hmph” and went to make breakfast. Today, she would make fried eggs in a lotus leaf shape!
“It’s time to eat.”
“Zi liu,” Chu Ge, leaving a faint afterimage, instantly arrived at the dining table.
Qiu Wuji’s eyes held a hint of astonishment. “Your agility, it’s… well, it’s only average.”
Chu Ge chuckled, “I was thinking, what kind of impact will those with power or speed-related abilities have in the sports world? If awakened individuals with abilities continue to increase day by day, will the dynamics of this world truly change, rendering traditional thinking obsolete?”
Qiu Wuji asked, “What is the sports world?”
“…Never mind.” Chu Ge took his seat and changed the subject. “Are we still dealing with the durian today?”
Qiu Wuji said, “Do you think I’m torturing you? The exercise has its true significance. Once you master the balance, you can stop dealing with it.”
“Alright, but I can’t exactly write with that thing on my head.”
“Why not? When you write, you’re sitting there, stable as can be. If you can walk with it, why can’t you write with it…”
“Because writing requires absolute silence and concentration, it cannot be disturbed by these things.”
Qiu Wuji accepted this explanation and pondered. “It’s a pity though. You spend so much time writing. If you could cultivate your energy while writing, it would be like practicing martial arts all day long. It would be much better than doing it separately.”
Chu Ge was taken aback. “Is that possible?”
Qiu Wuji said, “Perhaps it requires more concentration… It’s not possible for ordinary people, especially if their cultivation deviates even slightly. The consequences would be severe. But you can give it a try because your spiritual sea is vast. If you use a special technique to achieve this multitasking state, it should be possible for you.”
Chu Ge asked, “Do I need to add a setting to my writing?”
Qiu Wuji shook her head. “You’ve already written it… Because multitasking is just a prerequisite for soul division.”
“Oh, I see, so does that mean you’re currently multitasking because your main body is in seclusion?”
“That’s right.”
“Idle cultivation, huh.” Chu Ge felt a bit envious. “I wish I could do that too.”
“Forget about soul division, it’s impossible without several hundred years of cultivation. But you can give multitasking a try now. However, you need to be careful. If you notice anything amiss, stop immediately.”
Chu Ge straightened his body and saluted like a devoted disciple. “Yes, Master.”
Qiu Wuji pointed at his forehead, imparting the technique of multitasking, and then her beautiful eyes wandered, she chuckled and said, “As your fan, I should urge you to start writing, Great Writer Mr. Chu.”
This role-playing is becoming more and more interesting. Chu Ge felt a tingling sensation in his heart and suddenly had an idea. He smiled and said, “Hey, why don’t you create a QQ account and join my group as an administrator? Or the operations manager?”
Female fan, female assistant, all in one.
He knew other authors whose girlfriends became their operations manager, making all the single writers jealous. Unexpectedly, he could have that too!
Qiu Wuji didn’t know he had such thoughts. She became quite interested in the idea of the heroine of the book personally being the group admin. She asked curiously “How does that work?”
“Well, usually you manage the comment section, organize some voting events and such. You’ve been reading a lot recently, so you’ve probably seen them. Occasionally, you’ll need to communicate with the platform for special activities, as well as create character avatars and character cards, and so on.”
“Character cards?”
“Yes, in the past, we didn’t have those, but now we do. You see that character’s Star Value? When it reaches a certain level, a card can be made. It can also be used for birthdays…”
“For birthdays…” Qiu Wuji hesitated and asked, “Readers celebrate my birthday?”
“Yes, they celebrate the character in the book… Oh, no, they celebrate you. In fact, not only our readers, but if it’s done well, all the platform’s readers will see your birthday when they open the app.”
Qiu Wuji’s eyes sparkled with excitement. “How many Star Values do I need?”
“… We were talking about being the operations manager…” Chu Ge didn’t know wether to laugh or cry “It’s still early, you don’t even have a profile picture yet, so let’s not think about birthdays for now. If you want to have one sooner, then focus on being a good admin.”
Qiu Wuji asked, “Can I use my own photo for the profile picture?”
Chu Ge almost burst out laughing. “No… The platform’s artists will create it for you. You can provide feedback and request changes if you’re not satisfied.”
Qiu Wuji was full of energy. “I’ll take on this task! I can’t let them portray me as ugly!”
Chu Ge’s reader group suddenly noticed the arrival of a new administrator with a very basic profile picture—a mother penguin wearing a flower. Qiu Wuji intended to save that as her exclusive avatar to be drawn in the future.
She didn’t talk much in the group, and it was unclear if she typed slowly or was just aloof. At the same time, there was a new operations manager with an ID that matched her QQ account, a name that fans of the book would easily know:
Qiu Wuji.
