Divine Lucky Star-Chapter 138 - : 138
Chapter 138: 138
Ah, such an enthusiastic female reader, it’s making me blush…
Ding ding ding, the private message alert sounded again—
Dream of Falling Flowers: “Handsome guy, want to go for a round?”
Wang Ritian: “…”
Wang Ritian: “Speak human!”
Dream of Falling Flowers: “I wrote all day yesterday, and finally got down all that information you asked for, but I just can’t fit it all into one chapter! Putting it all together, it’s over 8,000 words!”
...
Wang Ritian: “…”
Dream of Falling Flowers: “Take a look and see how I did!”
Wang Hao carefully read the opening part that Dream of Falling Flowers had sent over.
Honestly, this person’s writing was quite simple and efficient, and in many places, just a few short paragraphs managed to paint a very three-dimensional scene with a strong sense of imagery.
However, regrettably, it was still somewhat verbose.
Wang Ritian: “The overall plot doesn’t have any problems, and the imagery is good, but it’s still wordy. Try to remove any unnecessary parts, and make the connections between the scenes more natural. Look at the elements I discussed with you last time; you’ve used over a thousand words for almost each one. For the opening description of the location, you used over three hundred words. That’s completely unnecessary, just briefly summarize that part and mention the name of the high school. The reader will naturally fill in what the high school looks like.”
Dream of Falling Flowers: “Ah, it looks like I still need more practice. Handsome guy, you’re really cool when you talk about storytelling. Need someone to warm your bed?”
Wang Ritian: “Scram!”
Dream of Falling Flowers: “Haha, are you blushing?”
Wang Ritian: “Cut the crap! Where are the time, place, characters, and events? In reality, a hundred or so words should suffice for the time and place. There’s no need to go into too much detail about the classmates. The key is the introduction of the world background in this part since it’s a battle scene, so you need to depict the might of the monsters, as well as the unbelievable strength of human warriors, to stir up the readers’ anticipation.”
Dream of Falling Flowers: “Alright, anything else?”
Wang Ritian: “Nothing else really, just revise this part, cut it down to around 5,000 words, and then I’ll talk to you about the subsequent plot and setting.”
Dream of Falling Flowers: “I’ll go make the changes right away, muah handsome!”
About an hour later, Dream of Falling Flowers showed the revised draft to Wang Hao, and this time it was indeed much better. All that needed to be explained was nearly done, and Wang Hao nodded in satisfaction.
Wang Ritian: “This is good, alright, I’ll give you the upcoming settings. Hmm, right, my settings for this book are very comprehensive, including all kinds of characters, levels, plot development, etc. If it’s well written, I guarantee it will be a huge hit! But let’s clear something up beforehand, you said earlier that you’d give me fifteen for a thousand words, right?”
Dream of Falling Flowers: “Of course, handsome, it’s like I’m keeping you!”
Wang Ritian: “Get lost! I’d rather die than submit!”
Dream of Falling Flowers: “One day you’ll fall at my feet!”
Wang Ritian: “…”
Not wanting to banter with this person anymore, Wang Hao sent over the outline summary of “Devouring the Stars” that he had previously written.
This summary outline was exactly the one Bai Yaning had looked at before, very comprehensively organized.
Dream of Falling Flowers: “…”
Dream of Falling Flowers: “Holy shit, your settings and plot are fucking awesome, I really have an eye for talent!”

Wang Ritian: “What are you going to do?”
Dream of Falling Flowers: “Done deal, I’ll aim for 20,000 words a day!”
Wang Ritian: “…”
Holy shit, fifteen for a thousand words, that’s 300 bucks a day for 20,000 words!
Wang Ritian: “Hold on, let’s aim for twelve thousand a day. The premise is to ensure quality, don’t rush just to pad the word count!”
Dream of Falling Flowers: “Makes sense! Worthy of being my destined one! Handsome, wanna go for a round when you’re free~~~”
Wang Ritian: “Go die, I will not succumb even in death!”
“Ding ling ling—”
After closing QQ and casually browsing the online messages, suddenly his phone started to ring. When he glanced at the caller ID…
It was actually Zhao Zhenhao calling. What’s the situation now?
Yesterday during the meal, the two of us eventually exchanged phone numbers. After all, the other party did gift me a luxury watch; it’d be impolite not to leave contact information, right?
“Zhao, what’s the situation?” After the poker game last night, their relationship had become fairly amicable. Wang Hao answered the phone with a smile, “What’s up? You looking for me?”
Zhao Zhenhao had reverted to his voice full of magnetism, “Just thinking of you, so I called to check in.”
So polite? That doesn’t seem quite right.
You’re probably thinking of Ice Princess, the big star, aren’t you?
Wang Hao, “So concerned about me, huh? No need for the pleasantries, come on, out with it, what’s up?”
“Here’s the thing,” Zhao Zhenhao said, “I’d like to invite you out for a meal, are you free?”
My god, another meal? What kind of play is this?
“Hmm, nothing much going on at the moment, sure,” Wang Hao thought it over, then added, “Just the two of us?”
“Yeah, just us two,” Zhao Zhenhao chuckled, “Just a casual meal. I know a really nice French restaurant, want to try it out?”
Wang Hao pondered for a moment. He couldn’t refuse Zhao Zhenhao face, and promptly asked, “Alright, sure, where should I meet you?”
Zhao Zhenhao said, “You send me your location, I’ll come to pick you up.”
Another ride in a chauffeured car, not bad.
Wang Hao immediately sent over his location, and soon got a reply from Zhao Zhenhao, “Okay, I’ll be there in twenty minutes.”
Leaving the film set, it was indeed only about twenty minutes before Wang Hao saw a black Jaguar approaching, with Zhao inside.
“What’s up?” Wang Hao got into the car and asked with a laugh, “You’re not planning to kidnap me and then grill me for information, are you?”
“Of course not,” Zhao Zhenhao laughed, “You’re held in high regard by Miss Yaning, I’d have to have a screw loose to trouble you. Hop in, I’ve already reserved our spot.”
“Alright,” Wang Hao got into the car, said, “Hey, it’s kind of embarrassing to keep freeloading off you…”
Hmm, if you really feel like giving me some more nice stuff, I won’t be shy about it, hehe.
“You’re being too polite.” Zhao Zhenhao chuckled and started the car.
Wang Hao’s house was located in the southern part of Zhonghai City’s Third Ring, which was generally considered the center of the city, so it didn’t take long to arrive at a Western restaurant named Paris Fashion. By the time they got there, the entrance was already lined up with luxury cars. Zhao sure picked a fancy place!
This time, without Bai Yaning present, Wang Hao finally realized just how much charisma Zhao Zhenhao truly had!
He was no less than a rugged version of Song Zhongji oppa, with his entrance, the young women in the restaurant instantly turned their heads, their eyes shining like 200-watt light bulbs!
“Look, look! A mega-hottie! God, just look at that charming smile!”
“Dear Lord, so handsome, I… I can’t even!”
“That’s the young master of the Zhao family, Zhao Zhenhao! He’s actually here!”
“Who’s that country bumpkin following him? Could he be Mr. Zhao’s lackey?”
Hearing the murmurs around him, Zhao Zhenhao responded with smiles and occasional waves, instantly dominating the scene, while Wang Hao following behind him looked like his little brother!
This script is all wrong, damn it! You’re the one who’s supposed to be the main character, right?!
“This will do,” Zhao Zhenhao led Wang Hao to an empty table and sat down, smiling, “I thought it over when I went home yesterday. I think we need to get to know each other again.”
After saying this, Zhao Zhenhao took the lead in reaching out his hand, “Zhao Zhenhao, twenty-five years old, the only son in the side branch of the Zhao family descended from Zhao Changsheng, currently running an internet technology company.”
“Nice to meet you, nice to meet you,” Wang Hao reached out and shook his hand with a cheery smile, saying, “Wang Hao, twenty-four, temping in a film crew.”
With that introduction, the disparity between them suddenly seemed as vast as between a pheasant and a phoenix…
“Actually, I invited you here because I wanted to have a proper talk and also to apologize to you.” Zhao Zhenhao made no pretenses about it, quite frankly, “I did have an ulterior motive when I gave you that Omega watch at dinner last night. I won’t hide it, I did have some animosity toward you before I went over, so the watch’s price of 444,000 was indeed a discourtesy, for which I ask your forgiveness.”
As he spoke, he stood up and bowed deeply to Wang Hao as a gesture of apology.
The surrounding girls seeing this scene exploded with excitement!
“No way?! What is the identity of that young man that Mr. Zhao would apologize to him?!”
“Oh heavens, am I still dreaming today? What on earth is happening? Is the sky falling?!”
“Something’s definitely weird today, the Zhao family’s Mr. Zhao is actually apologizing to someone!”
