After we broke up, my ex-girlfriend gave birth to a daughter.

Chapter 139's level is as high as three or four stories.

Xinghehe, the editor, is indeed sharp-tongued. Even when she's talking to a young lady online, she doesn't hold back in her words.

After all, the online novel industry is very cruel; no one cares about the author's gender, and everything is based on the content of the novel.

Instead of saying nice things now and letting the girl continue wasting time on her writing career, it's better to be blunt and say it directly. Better a short, sharp pain than a long, drawn-out one. This brings to mind Xinghehe's classic line: "Signing you would be doing you a disservice."

As the girl left, Xinghehe continued shouting in the live stream, "Let me see who the next member to read the script is... Mr. Wang, the PE teacher?"

When Xinghehe read out the username, his face immediately contorted with pain: "Brother Wang, why haven't you given up on writing novels yet?"

"I've already told you, you're really not suited to writing novels. If you had that kind of perseverance, you would have succeeded in any other field by now."

The live stream chat was flooded with comments: "Hahaha, Teacher Wang is here again tonight."

"Just who is this Teacher Wang? How could he make Lao Xing so afraid?"

"Teacher Wang is a legend in the live streaming room. Xingda reviewed the manuscript with him twice, and both times the live streaming room was banned. It really gave Xingda a trauma."

Xinghe glanced at the live stream chat and realized he was indeed traumatized by Mr. Wang, the PE teacher, fearing the live stream would be banned again.

At this moment, a window popped up in his live stream requesting a live chat connection, and the applicant was none other than Mr. Wang, the physical education teacher.

Xinghehe wanted to talk about this old man's talisman, but he ended up connecting with Yi via video.

A kind voice came from the other end of the call: "Xing Da, this manuscript was written by my friend. I'd like you to help me see if he has any writing talent."

The classic "I Have a Friend" series!

However, Xinghehe couldn't say much, since his live stream rules stated that each member had three chances to view the manuscript, and there was no rule that these chances couldn't be transferred or given away.

"Your friend's article shouldn't be enough to shut down my live stream, right?" Xinghehe asked hesitantly.

"Don't worry, with me keeping an eye on the script, the live stream definitely won't be shut down," Teacher Wang assured him confidently.

Xinghehe couldn't help but complain, "Big brother, it's precisely because you're here that I'm worried."

Teacher Wang smiled awkwardly: "Having learned from the previous two experiences, I've matured and I definitely won't mess around this time."

Xinghe took a deep breath and finally chose to believe him: "Send me the manuscript, let me see what's going on."

"It's been sent. The book is called 'Joy of Life'."

"Joy of Life? This title sounds so pretentious, it doesn't reflect the story content or the selling points of the novel at all!" Xinghe pushed up his glasses and couldn't help but lecture.

"Like that girl who was just carried away, even though her story wasn't very well written, at least her title was straightforward. Your title is terrible."

"I repeatedly emphasized in the live stream that new authors should not choose vague or nonsensical book titles. That's a privilege that only established authors can have."

"Before you become a top-tier author, honestly choose a title that is easy to understand and that allows readers to immediately tell what story your book is about."

Xinghe shook his head helplessly, then used the mouse in his hand to open the document of "Joy of Life".

He originally intended to criticize the novel's content to dissuade Teacher Wang from writing it, but when he saw the main text, he was completely stunned.

"Fan Xian, Wu Zhu... This opening is quite interesting."

Xinghehe, having worked as an online novel editor for ten years, was so experienced that he could tell at a glance that "Joy of Life" was of a very high standard, as high as three or four stories.

The novel begins with concise and skillful writing, and throughout the entire text there are no superfluous or redundant sentences. It doesn't seem like the work of a new author; it's more like the work of an extraterrestrial demon!

Now Xinghehe completely believed what Teacher Wang said. This opening wasn't written by Teacher Wang; he didn't have such a high level of skill.

"Oh no, Xingda's not saying anything now, he's probably really absorbed in it."

"This is the first time I've seen Lao Xing review a manuscript without saying a word, and he's so focused on it."

"This opening is indeed interesting; at least it's the kind of writing style I like."

At this moment, the live stream chat was filled with comments, which made Xinghehe realize that he was reviewing manuscripts live.

He coughed twice tactically, picked up his water glass and took a sip without making a sound: "The beginning of this story is not bad. If I can keep the plot from falling apart, earning over ten thousand a month will definitely be no problem."

With only six thousand words, Xinghehe couldn't see much beyond that. He could only judge whether the subject matter catered to the market and how the author's writing style was.

Currently, there is no doubt that "Joy of Life" can make money in the online novel industry, both in terms of its subject matter and writing style.

As for how much money one can make, there's no guarantee, since countless novels in the online literature market start strong but end poorly.

"Brother Wang, please tell your friend to add me on WeChat. I've signed this book."

"Okay, okay." Teacher Han's voice on the other end of the line was filled with joy.

"Xingda, what do you think of my friend's writing talent?"

Xinghehe didn't answer directly, but instead asked, "Is this his first time writing a book?"

Teacher Wang said confidently, "This is my first time writing a book. He saw that I've been writing a novel recently, so he thought he'd give it a try."

"If someone can write such a good opening for their first book, then I can only say that God has blessed them with talent, and your friend has a great talent for writing," Xinghehe said, expressing her opinion.

"Really?"

"Let me put it this way, I also have many excellent authors with tens of thousands of subscriptions. If they were to write the same opening theme, they might not be able to capture the charm of your friend's work."

"If you still want to pursue writing novels, you can consult him; he should be able to teach you a lot."

As soon as the words were spoken, the live stream chat exploded.

"Such high praise? Is this really the Xingda I know?"

"Lao Xing, you've changed. You used to be known for your sharp tongue, you'd even curse at a dog on the street."

"Xingda has stopped criticizing people and started praising them instead. My youth is over."

Xinghehe looked at the barrage of comments and suddenly laughed with relief: "So all of you who watch my livestream have masochistic tendencies, huh? You feel uncomfortable if you don't hurl a few insults at me?"

"That's right, this is the Lao Xing I know."

"It's good to see the familiar Xingda back. I'll forgive and forget your past kindness!"

Xinghehe laughed and cursed at the comments: "Get lost! All you people do is smear my glorious image all day long. Don't I have any dignity as a man of honor?"
