Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After the publication of the two volumes of “The Coiling Dragon”, Fang Yuan had earned over 100,000 reputation points.

It was more than enough to exchange for two memory retrieval capsules.

[ Ding! ] 

Soon, the rewards arrived.

Seeing that there were still a large number of points left in his account, Fang Yuan conveniently browsed the system’s store.

There was a skill book called [ Psychological Insight (special agent level) ] that caught his attention.

The price of this skill book was not exactly cheap and almost added to his current reputation points.

The effects of this skill book were summarized.

“The human heart is very hard to predict. Words may not necessarily convey the heart’s thoughts. After learning this skill, you can read another party’s innermost thoughts through facial microexpressions and body micromovements.”

Although it sounded strange, science proved that it was particularly useful in official interrogations or covert special agents investigations.

They truly used this skill to increase their emotional intelligence.

In some cases, it even achieved the effect of lie detection and even mind reading.

Of course, Fang Yuan was enticed by this great skill and exchanged it.

Then, he used the last remaining points to buy a body strengthening supplement.

Like the saying, “treat your body like a temple”, there was no harm in improving his health.

There were a few crisp sounds in his mind.

[ Ding! You have obtained the Memory Retrieval Capsule (limited to web novels). ]

[ Ding! You have obtained the Psychological Insight Skill Book (Special Agent Level) ]

[ Ding! You have obtained the Body Strengthening Supplement! ]

..

Sherry greeted Fang Yuan. “Fang Yuan…Fang Yuan? Everyone has already found their mentor. What about you?”

Fang Yuan sitting down at this moment, recovering from his absent-minded state.

“Hello, Dean Sherry. I was thinking about the concept of the novel just now. As for a mentor…I haven’t found one yet.”

Sherry frowned slightly and said, “Oh? You have a concept already?”

“I think I have a preliminary idea. I may need to consider more carefully how to write it though.”

In fact, as long as he had a memory retrieval capsule, every manuscript that he had read in his previous life, which included every word and even punctuation used, would clearly appear in his mind.

It was just that Fang Yuan still had to find an opportunity to swallow the capsule.

“You already have an idea so quickly? You’re truly as they say! Your ability to think quickly is superb.”

Sherry narrowed her eyes and said continued, “I’ve recently heard rumors about you in school that you wrote the first volume of “The Coiling Dragon” overnight in the library. It’s really quite astounding.”

Now that Fang Yuan had the psychological insight of a special agent, he could clearly read Sherry’s microexpressions and micromovements.

He could see that she was very interested in him.

However, it was not a romantic interest and was just a pure curiosity about his writing ability.

It was understandable when he thought about it.

A mediocre student suddenly seemed like a different person overnight.

He had made a name for himself in the world of fantasy novels and had become the talk of the entire state of Iowa, even the entire United States.

It did sound very strange.

“If you don’t mind, you can give me a brief introduction of your idea. Perhaps I can even help out with some suggestions.”

“Are you going to be my mentor?”

“Sure, I won’t mind that.”

Sherry smiled lightly. She was known as the Goddess of Literature in the industry.

Not only was she good-looking, but she also had a great talent for writing. Naturally, many people would ask for her guidance.

Even if they did not win the competition in the end, at least they would get a chance to get up close and personal with her for two weeks, which was also a wonderful experience.

However, Sherry declined all previous requests from other contestants even though some among them were famous writers.

She wanted to coach Fang Yuan, whom she was most skeptical about.

At this moment, Hades saw Fang Yuan and walked towards him. “Oh, Fang Yuan! Considering our student-teacher relationship, I initially wanted to avoid suspicion in this competition, but since you haven’t found a mentor yet, I can’t just stand by. I’ll look for you later in your room.”

Fang Yuan did not know what to say.

Hades had good intentions, but he was not comfortable with the idea of two grown men staying together.

Rather than Hades, who was a rugged man, Fang Yuan would much prefer to stay with the beautiful dean, Sherry.

They would have many long and thorough literary talks.

“Umm…Hades, thanks for your offer but I’ve already found my mentor.”

After Hades left, Sherry suggested that they could have dinner at the revolving restaurant on the top floor of the five-star hotel.

During the meal, they ordered wine and drank together.

Sherry’s alcohol tolerance was relatively high among the girls.

She was the type who would go out to socialize and basically would not get drunk.

However, she was a little anxious today as she was extremely curious about what had caused Fan Yuan’s huge change.

She was planning to get Fang Yuan drunk to see if she could get anything out of him.

However, although Sherry’s alcohol tolerance was good, it was still impossible for her to defeat Fang Yuan, whose physique was strengthened by the system earlier.

After three rounds of drinking…

Sherry started to feel a little tipsy, but Fang Yuan pretended not to notice.

“Fang Yuan, can you tell me what’s the concept of your novel now?”

“Yes, I can.”

Fang Yuan smiled as he looked at Sherry, whose skin gradually became flushed with misty eyes. 

“I want to write about tomb-robbing.”
