Gao Moumou: Brothers Share Blessings and Hardships

He was chatting with Yu Jiaojiao about making a movie, and got so engrossed in the conversation that he completely forgot about the important matter at hand. He had asked Yu Jiaojiao for help in keeping an eye on the latest intelligence in the Eastern Sea and seeing if he could find any trace of the powerful being who had borrowed his Spirit Ghost.

Yu Jiaojiao replied, "I'm in the Jiangnan Region."

"I'm coming right away!" Song Shuhang typed in reply, then hugged the Puppet Silver Dragon's neck, trying to secure himself firmly to the dragon's back.

"Speed! Charge! Our target is the Jiangnan Region!"

The silver dragon flapped its wings and soared high... It sprinted with all its might, and the Spirit Stone within its body were rapidly consumed.

Song Shuhang's face was a little pale. Even though he had traveled around the universe and returned, his Height Phobia still hadn't improved.

Should we also install a fence around the Puppet Silver Dragon? That would give it a real sense of security.

Wait, I forgot to ask Yu Jiaojiao for her exact location.

It seems I can only ask after arriving in the Jiangnan Region; it's not convenient to send a text message while the Puppet Silver Dragon is accelerating.

******************************

Meanwhile, in a villa in the Jiangnan Region, in the room that Yu Jiaojiao called the 'little dark room'.

Although it's called a "dark room," the room is actually quite spacious, and the brightness can be adjusted as needed.

In one corner of the room, there was a huge table, paired with a perfectly sized executive chair.

Gao Moumou now leaning back in a huge executive chair, which also has a 'full-body massage' function, making him tremble comfortably.

Beside him was a luxurious double bed, where his girlfriend, Mei Yi, was already curled up, fast asleep.

Yu Jiaojiao was indeed incredibly resourceful. That day, he was just about to have a shameless phone conversation with his girlfriend, like a typical boyfriend and girlfriend relationship. But that very night, Mei Yi was brought over.

Like Gao Moumou, when Mei Yi, her family waved to her happily, as if they had been brainwashed.

Then, Mei Yi stayed with Gao Moumou in the small dark room—but her movements were not restricted; she could wander around anywhere in the villa as she pleased, and she could leave whenever she wanted.

"Another chapter is finished, but it hasn't been revised yet... I'll leave this one for tomorrow. After all, it's almost midnight." Gao Moumou muttered to himself—he had written nearly 23,000 words today.

These past few days, he's been writing 20,000 to 30,000 words a day, a speed that was unimaginable for Gao Moumou in the past.

He used to write a maximum of 10,000 words a day. Even if he stayed home all day on holidays writing, that was all he could write. And... after writing 10,000 words, when he tried to pick up another pen, his head felt like it was about to explode, and he couldn't think of any plot at all.

But now, he feels his brain remains constantly ice-cold. Even after writing 30,000 words, he's still full of energy!

At first, he was terrified—he thought that the girl 'Yu Jiaojiao,' whom he had only seen in photos and heard in voices but had never met in person, had put stimulants in his food. Only stimulants could keep someone so energetic after a long day of writing, right?

But he later discovered that, apart from remaining energetic and clear-headed, he had no adverse aftereffects.

What he found even more unbelievable was his physical condition. For the past few days, he had been locked in a small, dark room, frantically writing, and logically, his physical condition should have deteriorated rapidly.

But in the past few days, he has felt fantastic.

His abs, which had gradually disappeared due to reduced exercise during college, are now becoming more defined every day, and he feels that his arms are full of power.

Not only that, he felt that a large amount of toxins were being expelled from his body every day, and his overall condition was excellent.

Even some of his minor injuries were healed.

For example, his right shoulder often aches because he used to play games for long periods of time and write at night during high school.

If you maintain the typing posture for too long, it will cause swelling and pain.

When Gao Moumou woke up yesterday morning, the pain in his right shoulder had completely disappeared!

The only thing Gao Moumou is certain of now is that there's definitely something wrong with the food Yu Jiaojiao feeds him every day. He just doesn't know if these things are truly 'good' or if they have any side effects.

Save this chapter.

After thinking for a moment, Gao Moumou pressed a button on the table that was used to contact 'Yu Jiaojiao'.

After pressing the button, a cute girl's voice immediately came through his ear. "Mr. Gao, have you finished writing another chapter?"

There were no audio devices nearby, but the other person's voice just appeared in his ears.

This is a Secret Voice Transmission technique, Gao Moumou naturally couldn't understand.

"It hasn't been revised yet, let's leave it for tomorrow," Gao Moumou, shaking his head.

"No problem, I've had a very satisfying day." Yu Jiaojiao chuckled, "So, what did you want to see me about?"

"Yes, I have something I want to ask you," Gao Moumou said. —Seriously, judging from this lovely girl's voice, it's hard to believe she's the same reader who cruelly arrested him and locked him in that dark room.

Such incredibly devoted fans must put so much pressure on me.

"Please ask, I will answer everything I know," Yu Jiaojiao said with a giggle.

Gao Moumou: "Question 1: How long are you going to keep me locked up?"

"Ah, if it were possible, could I lock you up for the rest of my life?" Yu Jiaojiao and innocent voice.

"I refuse!" Gao Moumou said firmly. He would rather die than be locked up for life.

"Just kidding, Mr. Gao. The main reason I brought you here is to ask you to write a story for us, an interesting story! Then, we'll use this story to make a movie," Yu Jiaojiao said.

Gao Moumou: "..."

Holy crap, to put it bluntly, you guys want me to write a movie script, right?

This kind of thing can be easily done by simply saying so and signing a contract. These days, it's not unusual for online novels to be adapted into movies and TV shows. Is it really necessary to drag me into this mess and lock me up to write?

"Then, I was thinking, since we need you to come and help us write a story, it's perfect to have you write it. I really like your novels... it's just that your updates are too slow, I can't keep up at all. Now it's only 20,000 to 30,000 words a day that barely satisfies me. Actually, 50,000 to 60,000 words would be better, but unfortunately your speed isn't that fast," Yu Jiaojiao added.

Gao Moumou's eyes immediately welled up with tears. Ultimately, writing movie scripts was secondary; the real reason for arresting him and locking him up in a dark room to write was to get him to write.

"Does Mr. Gao have any other questions?" Yu Jiaojiao asked with a gentle smile.

"Question 2: What do you add to the food you give me every day?" Gao Moumou asked.

This is a very important question. Although in the short term those things have no side effects and have even healed his hidden injuries, what if the side effects of these things manifest much later in life? That would be even more terrifying.

"You finally noticed that? I thought you would have noticed it sooner." Yu Jiaojiao was very interested in this topic and quickly began to explain, "Actually, it's nothing serious. Every day I add 'Clear-Eyed Pill' and 'Vitality Potion' to your food. These two elixirs are highly nourishing, making you clear-headed and refreshed, full of energy. The formulas for these two elixirs are ancient, using precious medicinal herbs, so there won't be any side effects. Don't worry. And recently, I added a little 'Body Tempering Liquid' to your favorite stinky tofu. It's fortunate you like stinky tofu, otherwise the smell of the Body Tempering Liquid would be hard to mask. Body Tempering Liquid is... well, a elixir that martial artists take during training. It Body Tempering Liquid the body and removes hidden injuries left by excessive training. It also has no side effects. It's just that because your constitution is weak, I give you a diluted Body Tempering Liquid."

"Are you sure there won't be any aftereffects?" Gao Moumou asked nervously.

"Absolutely not, you can completely trust me on that," Yu Jiaojiao said. Her voice seemed to carry a convincing power, a mysterious force within its pleasant tone.

That was the power she inherited from her mother, the Fish Demon; the Mermaid's song possessed a bewitching quality.

When Yu Jiaojiao made her promise, her voice unconsciously carried a seductive quality, something she herself was unaware of.

"I understand." Gao Moumou nodded—for some reason, after receiving Yu Jiaojiao's assurance, he immediately believed her!

Then, Gao Moumou asked, "Did you add something similar to Mei Yi's food?"

"Yes, this is a perk I'm giving you out of respect for Mr. Gao," Yu Jiaojiao said with a giggle—this perk is truly priceless.

"Should I say thank you?" Gao Moumou asked again. "Well, I have one last request."

Yu Jiaojiao: "Mr. Gao, please speak."

"Please let me make a few phone calls. I want to bring a few more friends over to keep me company and lock me up in that dark room with me," Gao Moumou said firmly.

Good brothers share happiness and hardship.

Now that he's encountered such a miraculous 'benefit,' of course he has to share it with his good brothers. Tubo, Yangde, and Shuhang should also get some too.

Then, after enjoying such great 'benefits,' it's okay for the brothers to join him in being locked up in the dark room, right? We'll share the hardship, after all.

"Okay, I can let you contact a few of your friends," Yu Jiaojiao nodded.

Shortly afterward, two young girls dressed as maids entered and installed a landline telephone on Gao Moumou's desk.

After the telephone was installed, the two young girls dressed as maids smiled, bowed, and left the room.

Gao Moumou sighed, took out his phone, and found Song Shuhang's number—just so you know, cell phone signal was blocked in the small dark room he was in.

Therefore, his own phone cannot access the internet or make calls.

It wasn't that Yu Jiaojiao was afraid he would contact the outside world, but rather that she wanted to prevent Gao Moumou from wasting time online and being unable to concentrate on writing.

Gao Moumou picked up the landline and dialed Song Shuhang's number.

Song Shuhang's voice came through the phone. "Hello, who is this?"

"Shuhang, it's me, Gao Moumou," Gao Moumou said warmly.

"Haha, it's so-and-so. Aren't you on your honeymoon with your girlfriend at this hour? Is there something you need?" Song Shuhang.

Gao Moumou seemed to hear the sound of a howling wind over the phone. What was Song Shuhang doing?

"Shuhang, are you free now? If you are, let's get together somewhere and have a good get-together," Gao Moumou said.

"No problem! Well, I have some things to take care of right now, but I'll be done soon. When are we getting together? Where should we meet? I'll head over as soon as possible," Song Shuhang replied readily.

"I've found the location... Hmm, I'll send you the address via text message in a bit. As for the time, just come over as soon as you're done with what you're doing. We're getting together for a few days. My girlfriend Mei Yi, will be there too." Gao Moumou replied quickly—he didn't give the address because he hadn't left the room since he was arrested and locked in the small dark room.

He had no idea where the villa was located.

Then, Gao Moumou pressed another button on the table.

The two young women who had just installed the landline for him came in, smiling and asking, "Mr. Gao, is there anything I can help you with?"

Gao Moumou, "What is the exact address of this villa?"

"No. 105 Jiangran Road, Rainbow River Town Jiangnan Region," one of the two maids replied.

"Okay, I've got it. Oh, and send me a text message with this address for my friend's number." With that, Gao Moumou gave Song Shuhang's phone number to the two girls dressed as maids.

"Okay, Mr. Gao. We'll send the message right away." The two girls saved Song Shuhang's phone number and left the small dark room.

[Speaking of which, who exactly is this Miss Yu Jiaojiao? In this day and age, there are still maids.] Gao Moumou thought to himself.

Then, he started dialing Tubo's number and began a new round of deception.

Even if it means revealing his identity as a web novel author, he should at least drag his three roommates over to join him in being locked in the dark room!

******************************

Meanwhile, Song Shuhang quickly arrived over the Jiangnan Region.

The Puppet Silver Dragon slowed down, and Song Shuhang pulled up Yu Jiaojiao's account and sent a message: "Jiaojiao, what is your exact location right now?"

Yu Jiaojiao quickly replied, "No. 105 Jiangran Road Rainbow River Town Jiangnan Region. Come quickly, I'll introduce you to that author."

Less than two seconds after Yu Jiaojiao sent the message, another text message was sent to Song Shuhang's phone.

[Address: No. 105 Jiangran Road, Rainbow River Town Jiangnan Region.]

"Jiaojiao is very thoughtful; she even sent another text message." Song Shuhang smiled slightly.

Then he opened his phone and navigated to the location of 'No. 105 Jiangran Road, Rainbow River Town Jiangnan Region'.

The Puppet Silver Dragon spread its wings again and flew swiftly towards Yu Jiaojiao's villa.

Two minutes later.

The Puppet Silver Dragon, remaining invisible to ordinary people, descended from the sky into the courtyard of Yu Jiaojiao's villa.

Yu Jiaojiao had been waiting there for a long time.

As Song Shuhang landed, she jumped lightly and landed on Song Shuhang shoulder. "Come on, I'll show you that author. By the way, if you need anything from me, we can talk as we walk."
