Chapter 396: A Good, Relaxing Life

With one finger stroking a mahjong piece, Sun Xian mult.i.tasked by using the other hand to write articles on his mobile phone . Lady luck was obviously siding him . He had been the dealer for multiple roles; he was the biggest winner of the night!

After he updated his novel, it's comment section filled with turbulent gasps . Readers who had been demanding frantically for updates were left quiescent with satisfaction . Such a dillydallying plod! Finally, an update!

At least it had not been abandoned, right?

Facing such an author, readers baseline was dropped lower than usual . They would still be satisfied with one update in every fortnight .

Sun Xian grinned while looking at the enthusiasm in the review section . These readers were all so adorable . That was his purpose of writing after all . It was not for the fame nor the profits he could make, but the influence over people, tugging at their emotions like the strings of a puppet . That would be a great accomplishment .

However, such accomplishment could not be compared to his victories in mahjong .

Mahjong was always the main priority in his heart . Writing came second, and he often pretended that it helped in his retirement from gambling .

Sun Xian could not care less about his future . He believed that he could feed himself by collecting rental for the rest of his life . Why would he need a well-planned ambition?

He had decided to live his life this way after he graduated from university . He has had a few girlfriends before . Apparently, they did not agree with this laidback att.i.tude . Men can be poor, but they must not be devoid of the will to strive for a better life!

That was the typical, mainstream perspective .

Yet Sun XIan had no motivation to do anything . To him, the most important aspect of life was to enjoy himself . He did not need substantial indulgence on material needs . With a roof to sleep under and a stomach filled with food, why ask for more? It was better to occupy his free time with few rounds of mahjong…

Sun Xian pa.s.siveness towards life was like the casual players in games such as ”Earth Online . ” While others fought their way for promotion and better pay, he spent whatever he had on whatever he wanted to . He appreciated every second of his life by enjoying them, not wasting his fire on some monotonous movements in work .

Therefore, he would never post an update for his novel on a daily basis . It would be the typical conduct of boring machinery in work . A storyline of sufficient quality would not be produced by such methods . This was exactly what those incompetent writers did everyday!

A talented author would only produce two chapters per month . That would be enough to score a higher rank in any popularity board, compared to other authors .

Fortunately, he did not share his thoughts in public . That would make him the enemy of several other G.o.dly authors and the readers who wors.h.i.+pped them . They produced more than ten thousand authentic words per day, and he defined that as incompetent?

In fact, the ability to maintain high-speed, consistent updates spoke of the true capability as an online writer . That was not just hard work, but true talent as well .

For the readers, you might be talented, yet you can show nothing more than two chapters…

Sun Xian indeed lacked such gifts, yet he did not give a d.a.m.n . Did he ever say that he wanted to be a professional author?

That would never happen . He thought that rental collection was the easiest way to live . Writing online articles only led to a dead end!
