Recently, the students at Dongguk University have noticed a strange phenomenon. As an exchange student from China, Zheng Rongxuan is completely different from the other exchange students. While the others spend almost all their time learning Korean, making friends, and traveling, Zheng Rongxuan maintains a routine of moving between the cafeteria, classroom, and dormitory.

If it weren't for his fluent Korean and occasional help in translating for the other exchange students, many would overlook the fact that he is also an exchange student.

Zheng Rongxuan has indeed been very busy lately. Although he can "create" works without much thought, even typing is a painful task. Fortunately, seeing his works become increasingly popular on the literary forum, and even being re-posted to other communities and forums with many positive reviews, gives him a great sense of achievement.

Initially, it took Zheng Rongxuan over an hour to type a chapter in Korean, but now he can finish one in just 20 minutes. His progress has been rapid.

Although Zheng Rongxuan is a new author online and doesn't have the same fame as Qian Niu 74, his novel "My Wild Girlfriend" has still caused a sensation on the internet. The significant ideological conflict with the real world has made this work, which contrasts sharply with traditional Korean thought, particularly popular among a large group of female fans online. Each chapter is followed by hundreds or even thousands of heated discussions from both male and female readers.

On the night of October 27th, Zheng Rongxuan decisively liquidated his multiple orders, and his account balance immediately increased to 13.8 million won. Feeling somewhat elated, Zheng Rongxuan didn't make any more random moves but instead invested all the money in foreign exchange. It was almost the end of the year, and the European economy was showing good signs of recovery, while the United States had created an internet bubble, causing the exchange rate of the US dollar to the euro to continuously fall. However, this trend began to reverse at the end of the year.

If he hadn't found out, it would be one thing, but now that he has, Zheng Rongxuan feels it would be unjust not to take a share of the profits.

Today is October 30th. Apart from uploading five chapters on the first day, Zheng Rongxuan has been maintaining a pace of one chapter per day. It's not that he can't go faster, but he knows that if a work is released all at once, the anticipation will instantly disappear, and the sustained impact of the work will be severely reduced.

Therefore, in addition to "My Wild Girlfriend," Zheng Rongxuan has been "creating" several new novels recently, well, actually, they are adaptations from movies.

After school in the afternoon, Zheng Rongxuan packed his textbooks and was about to leave the classroom when someone tapped his shoulder. He heard Zhao Zilong's voice: "Zheng Rongxuan, what have you been up to lately?"

"Oh, nothing much. I found something to do off-campus, so I'm sorry, but I don't have time to attend your gatherings."

"That's a shame. They were hoping to invite you to Jeju Island this weekend."

Zheng Rongxuan shook his head with a mix of amusement and frustration and suggested, "Trust me, it's best not to go at this time. It's more fun to go in the summer, and I don't really see much difference between there and where I'm from."

Zhao Zilong smiled bitterly and said, "You grew up by the sea, so you can't compare with us inlanders who have never seen the ocean. Are you sure you won't go this weekend?"

"I am sure and definitely won't go. Have a good time."

Zheng Rongxuan smiled, waved to Zhao Zilong, and left the school with his books.

After eating something outside, Zheng Rongxuan returned to his apartment, turned on his computer, and made himself a cup of instant coffee, a habit from his previous life. It was quick and convenient.

Opening the familiar literary forum website, he saw that the first chapter of his novel had already surpassed 300,000 views, with over 7,000 replies. Even the chapter he posted at 11 PM the previous night, which had been up for less than 24 hours, had already surpassed 120,000 views and 900 replies. Zheng Rongxuan felt that the pace he had set was quite good.

After logging in, he deleted most of the unhelpful messages and suggestions in his inbox, replied to a few authors' suggestions, and then opened the new post page again.

Title: "My Wild Girlfriend," Chapter 20: A Story with No End (Final)

Thank you for your suggestions and opinions, but I have been thinking about this story for a long time, and I have already written most of it last night. I wrote some more after class today, and the entire story is now complete. Since it has been posted, I will not make any further changes. Thank you to all the readers who have supported me.

After this chapter, I will start another novel. I hope for your continued support. As a preview, the next novel is based on one of the three famous unsolved mysteries.

After writing a few words at the beginning of the final chapter, Zheng Rongxuan uploaded the already typed final chapter and clicked submit.

Minimizing the website, Zheng Rongxuan opened a folder, which was categorized into Korean movies, novels, music, and TV dramas.

Opening the movie folder, he saw several novels he had recently adapted from movies he found on Baidu. Accompanying these novels were scripts with the same names, though these scripts were not currently needed.

Zheng Rongxuan checked and found that the Korean copyright agency, the Copyright Commission, did not offer online application options. Therefore, he planned to accumulate a few works before registering for copyright.

While the third movie played in his mind, Zheng Rongxuan's fingers continuously tapped the keyboard, typing out text that perfectly matched the movie's plot. If needed, he could pause or rewind the movie in his mind at any time.

This ability to type while watching a movie made him almost obsessed. Although it was a complete copy, he felt no psychological pressure, especially when he saw countless netizens praising the novels he "wrote."

It was almost 1 AM when he finally finished typing the script for the movie. He had already finished the novel earlier, but the script was clearly more detailed.

Seeing that it was already late, Zheng Rongxuan quickly opened the website again, clicked the new post button, and entered the title of his new book.

"Memories of Murder," based on one of the "Three Unsolved Mysteries," the "Rainy Night Serial Murder Case." In the mid-to-late 1980s, the Hwaseong serial murders plunged Korean society into a state of panic.

Yes, the second novel Zheng Rongxuan chose to release is the Korean film "Memories of Murder," which was released in 2003. It tells the story of a series of serial murders in a small town in Korea, where all the victims were young women. The local police and a detective from Seoul work together on the case. The local police are brutal and use torture to extract confessions, while the detective from Seoul remains calm and analytical, repeatedly ruling out suspects. However, the victims continue to be murdered mysteriously and cruelly on rainy nights. The local and Seoul police are on the brink of a mental breakdown. When they finally catch a suspect who fits all the criteria, a report from the United States refutes their conclusion.
