Wang Yi had started out writing very slowly, stopping every so often. But since he was writing about things he had experienced himself, he had plenty of material and hardly needed to think about what to write.
The only part that took a little thought was how to phrase things.
That evening, Wang Yi wrote about 3,000 words in three hours.
That wasn't particularly fast. Mainly, Wang Yi wasn't very familiar with writing, and he wasn't a fast typist either.
Still, he was sure he'd get faster as he became more practiced at writing and typing.
While Wang Yi was working on his manuscript, many fans back in China also heard that the $5 million had landed in his account.
Naturally, plenty of Chinese fans were delighted.
"Big Ball and LaMelo Ball really thought they could bet against Brother Yi? They were way out of their league. Don't they know how Brother Yi got the title of Gambling King?"
"After just one game, Brother Yi made an extra $5 million on top of his regular salary. He really made a killing."
Amid all the positive comments, there were inevitably some discordant voices.
A blogger with the username "Love Wazi" posted a video, saying:
"I think Brother Yi should donate this windfall. After all, he won it by betting against the other guy, so it doesn't count as regular income."
"The best way to handle this kind of unusual income is to donate it. It would make Brother Yi's image even more untarnished."
"And he shouldn't just donate this time. From now on, whenever Brother Yi wins money from a bet, he should donate it."
"After all, Brother Yi is a billionaire. He can afford to part with this little bit of money, can't he?"
