Chapter 82

Luo Yang had no idea what was happening with the *Hero Magazine*.

After hanging up the phone with Luo Dashan, he took a shower and had a good night's sleep, enjoying a brief respite from the hustle and bustle of life.

The stockpile of *Wushuang* was ample, and it could be automatically updated every day. As for *Living with a Flight Attendant*, he had left it to Amber to manage, with a steady but not overly enthusiastic serialization. Therefore, this was one of the most leisurely periods for Luo Yang recently.

The next day, Luo Yang got up early, brushed his teeth, washed his face, and ran a lap around the playground, feeling refreshed when he returned to the dormitory.

Zhu Changhong had just woken up and, upon seeing Luo Yang, immediately asked, "Brother Yang, apart from *Changsheng Sword*, have you written the other stories in *Seven Weapons*?"

"Can't you let me have a peaceful morning? I need to rest too..." Luo Yang said helplessly.

It was one thing to be urged by fans online, but he never expected that there would be a fanatical updater in his dormitory, making life unbearable.

Ren Changjiang and the others also got up one after another. Hearing the conversation between Zhu Changhong and Luo Yang, they couldn't help but ask curiously, "What are you talking about? What *Changsheng Sword* and *Seven Weapons*?"

"Right, I almost forgot to tell you." Zhu Changhong, seeing their puzzled looks, said excitedly, "Luo Yang wrote a series of novels called *Seven Weapons*!"

Ren Changjiang and the others were surprised, "Luo Yang, writing novels?"

"Not only did he write them, but they are also incredibly well-written! It leaves a lasting impression after reading!" Zhu Changhong said with conviction.

Ren Changjiang and the others didn't believe it, shaking their heads, "Don't exaggerate. I believe Luo Yang can write novels, but to say they are that good, we really don't believe it. Writing novels isn't that simple!"

"Exactly, not at all good." Luo Yang nodded in agreement, as if those two novels weren't written by him—well, they indeed weren't written by him, but by a man named Gu Long.

Zhu Changhong was flustered, "Still don't believe it? Luo Yang, show them your novels!"

"What for?" Luo Yang shook his head like a rattle drum, "I just wrote them randomly and have already deleted them."

"Are you really a brother? Can't even let us see the novels you wrote?" Wang Yu also chimed in, curious about what kind of novels Luo Yang had written.

The others also became interested, urging Luo Yang to show them the novels. Helpless, Luo Yang opened his computer and sent *Changsheng Sword* to these guys. As for *Peacock Feather*, he didn't bother to send it, since Zhu Changhong didn't know he had written *Peacock Feather* last night.

"Let me make it clear, you can read the novel, but don't leak it out," Luo Yang said seriously.

*Changsheng Sword* was about to be published in *Hero Magazine*, and if it was leaked in advance, the consequences would be severe.

Seeing Luo Yang's serious expression, the others immediately nodded in agreement, "No problem, no problem. But... Luo Yang, you're so amazing, your novel can actually be published in a magazine?"

"Stop talking nonsense, quickly read the novel, and delete it after reading," Luo Yang said, not wanting to explain too much.

Seeing Luo Yang didn't want to talk, Wang Yu and the others shifted their attention to *Changsheng Sword* that Luo Yang had sent them.

Twenty minutes later, Ren Changjiang, who had finished reading *Changsheng Sword*, was the first to give a thumbs up, praising, "This novel is incredible, full of suspense and unexpected twists, and the writing has a unique flavor, better than some famous martial arts novelists."

"Great, even I, who don't usually read novels, got hooked," Wang Yu also chimed in.

Zhu Changhong looked smug, "I told you, this novel is absolutely good. Do you believe me now?"

"What are you boasting about? The novel is written by Luo Yang, not you," Ren Changjiang retorted.

"But I was the first to discover it. You should thank me. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have seen such a good novel," Zhu Changhong said, not backing down.

Seeing the two bickering, Luo Yang shook his head helplessly. These guys in the dormitory always liked to argue, much like himself and Liu Qin in his college days.

"Delete the novel," Luo Yang said.

"Sure," Ren Changjiang and the others promptly deleted *Changsheng Sword*. Although they were playful, they knew that Luo Yang letting them read a novel that was about to be published in a magazine was a sign of great trust.

If they insisted on keeping the novel, it would be inconsiderate.

Being able to get into Tiandu University, they weren't stupid, and they knew the situation clearly.

"What magazine are you planning to publish your novel in?" Ren Changjiang asked curiously after deleting the novel, and the other two also looked at Luo Yang curiously.

Luo Yang told the truth, "My novel will be published in *Hero Magazine* next month."

There was no need to hide this, and Luo Yang was even considering whether to use his Bai Yiqingcheng identity to promote *Hero Magazine*.

After all, the sales of *Hero Magazine* were too low, and it was difficult to promote. Even with the quality of *Changsheng Sword* and *Peacock Feather* guaranteed, it was like a skilled housewife without ingredients.

"*Hero Magazine*?" Wang Yu shook his head, "I've never heard of it."

Ren Changjiang added, "I've only heard of *Hero World*. What is *Hero Magazine*?"

"*Hero Magazine*... should be a subsidiary of *Hero World*," Zhu Changhong suddenly said.

Luo Yang looked at Zhu Changhong in surprise, not expecting him to know this. He nodded and said, "*Hero Magazine* is indeed a subsidiary of *Hero World*. *Hero World* serializes long martial arts novels, while *Hero Magazine* focuses on medium and short martial arts stories."

"I know a bit about *Hero Magazine*. The sales of this magazine should be very poor. I used to love reading *Hero World*, and I never missed an issue. But the quality of martial arts novels has declined year by year, and the quality of *Hero World* has also declined, so I rarely buy it now, let alone its subsidiary *Hero Magazine*."

Zhu Changhong, being a hardcore fan, knew *Hero World* inside out.

Luo Yang smiled, "The situation is as you described."

"Since the sales of *Hero Magazine* are so poor, why did you choose to publish your novel in this magazine?" Zhu Changhong and the others asked.

"Because *Hero Magazine* is an excellent magazine. I have liked it since I was a child, and I can't bear to see it decline. So I want to do my best to contribute a small part to it..."

"Speak in plain language!" The three guys interrupted Luo Yang in unison.

Luo Yang wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Because the editor-in-chief of *Hero Magazine* is my second uncle."

He was greeted with three middle fingers.

(Sweat, the second update is here. I'm so sleepy, it's past one o'clock. Good night, everyone.)
