Xu Lin felt that Jiangdu was too big.

This area around Finance University was a bustling city district, and the area around Jiangdu University was also a bustling city district.

The two places were more than thirty kilometers apart.

He took a taxi back, and it took an hour.

Finally, at 11:30, he managed to get back to the dormitory just in time before curfew.

"Damn, I almost had to find a hotel to sleep in outside!"

Xu Lin returned to the dorm.

He sent a message to Yu Xinyan: "Babe, I'm back at the dorm!"

Yu Xinyan replied instantly: "Okay! Rest early!"

Xu Lin: "Okay, you rest early too!"

Yu Xinyan: "Rest early!"

Yu Xinyan was cuddling her ragdoll cat, unable to put it down.

In the dorm.

Li Weiyan and Yan Caiyu saw Yu Xinyan's cute ragdoll cat plushie, and Li Weiyan couldn't help but say, "Yu Xinyan, did Xu Lin give this to you?"

Yan Caiyu: "This ragdoll cat is so cute!"

Yu Xinyan excitedly said, "Xu Lin gave it to me, he specially threw some rings to win a ragdoll cat for me!"

Yu Xinyan described the scene from that time.

Li Weiyan said, "That's so romantic of you guys!"

Yu Xinyan was very happy: "Of course, we've been childhood sweethearts, growing up together!"

In the dorm, the three girls were chatting, while Gu Qing remained silent.

She was pondering a question—are Xu Lin and Yu Xinyan a couple?

It's quite strange when you think about it.

Not that Gu Qing was interested in Xu Lin, she was just interested in the matter itself.

Gu Qing was a little bored, she was someone who, if not sleeping, would always be thinking about something, anything.

On the other side.

Xu Lin returned to the dorm and placed Yu Xinyan's backpack on the table.

Then Xu Lin opened the chat interface with Ning Yuhuan.

Ning Yuhuan had sent quite a few messages earlier, and Xu Lin hadn't replied yet.

Ning Yuhuan said she wanted to go to the library in the morning, then work on editing assignments in the afternoon.

Xu Lin replied, "What about the evening?"

Ning Yuhuan: "Get a room!"

From the other side, Ning Yuhuan, blushing, replied.

Xu Lin excitedly replied, "Being naughty, huh! Finally daring to be a bit bold!"

Ning Yuhuan was a bit mischievously cute, not noticeable to outsiders.

But Xu Lin felt he hadn't even explored ten percent of Ning Yuhuan!

He hadn't fully explored Ning Yuhuan's true form!

Ning Yuhuan: "Hubby, accompany me to work on assignments tomorrow afternoon!"

Xu Lin: "Okay!"

Because tomorrow would be busy, Xu Lin stayed up again tonight.

Xie Zhengrong and others were also staying up late, after all, it was Saturday tomorrow, no classes, and for students, there was no better night than the last night before a holiday.

Xu Lin worked an extra hour, refining the outlines for a fantasy and a high-martial arts story.

Finally, he got both outlines truly settled.

At this point, it was only a bit past midnight.

"Find two people to collaborate with!"

Xu Lin immediately logged into a secondary account and clicked on his main disciple Wu Chengfeng's account.

Only accepts daily settlement: "Here are two outlines, one fantasy, one high-martial arts, straightforward upgrade stories, do you have anyone reliable?"

Wu Chengfeng: "!!!"

Wu Chengfeng: "Master, I'm here!"

Wu Chengfeng: "Master, is it the same collaboration model as with Toutuo?"

Only accepts daily settlement: "Yes."

Only accepts daily settlement: "You know my skills, collaborating on outlines is also akin to nurturing others, find two trustworthy people!"

Wu Chengfeng: "Master, wait a moment!"

Only accepts daily settlement: "Okay."

Xu Lin continued typing as he waited.

At 12:30 am, no one in Xu Lin's dorm was asleep.

Liu Longsheng was singing, getting lost in his own voice, but fortunately, he was quite good at singing, so it wasn't too bad.

Hu Donghai was still watching Anti-Japanese war films, particularly those about bizarre Anti-Japanese heroes; after watching "The King of Jade-Faced Grenades," he seemed addicted to this genre.

Xie Zhengrong was still playing his sixth playthrough of Black Monkey.

And Xu Lin was typing amidst such an environment.

"My 26-year-old Miss Maybach!"

On the other side.

In Wu Chengfeng's small group, he called out, and Moonlit Night, Toutuo, Asura, and Shifang all showed up, with only five people in their group, originally created to discuss novels.

Wu Chengfeng: "Guys, Master has two more outlines, one fantasy, one high-martial arts, straightforward upgrade stories, is anyone interested in taking them?"

Moonlit Night writes urban stories, whereas Toutuo is already collaborating with Xu Lin.

Only Shifang and Asura were left for Xu Lin.

Shifang said, "I'm more skilled at immortals and heroes'novels, but I can write fantasy and high-martial arts too, not sure if I can manage? But I really want to take on the task, damn, I really want to improve!"

Asura: "I've always been great at fighting and slashing, especially the exhilarating ones!"

Asura was a bit of a jack-of-all-trades, capable of writing anything, having written books for over a decade, starting with infinite fantasy literature, those books with titles like 'Emperor' or 'King of Soldiers' which were infinite literature, but Asura was more skilled at fantasy.

Asura: "I think I can take on the challenge! Grabbing the chance is a win!"

Now everyone in the group knew what taking on Xu Lin's outline meant—it meant receiving Xu Lin's mentorship directly, becoming his disciple, obtaining his true insights.

This wasn't about money anymore, money can be earned anytime, but if you enhance your skills and improve your level, then the money belonging to you in the future will increase manifold, and the path will go further.

Actually, web novelists don't write just for money, many do it for their dreams, to realize personal and life values, many people come into this world with an inevitable thought that they should leave something behind, and live without regrets in this lifetime.
