Urging for more updates, then turning into a magical girl.

Chapter 25 Who else on the entire internet can outbid me?!

Su Chenjin's brain cells were working at full speed.

In that moment of crisis, her mind raced with a kind of "bullet time" thinking ability. In almost a second, she came up with an impeccable reason.

"Um, Ms. Lin... I'm planning to change my phone number."

Su Chenjin took a deep breath and lowered her gaze.

"Huh? Why did you change your number?" Lin Yuyan asked, puzzled.

"Although I escaped, the people from 'Where the Stars Are' must still know my old phone number, right? I'm afraid that if I don't change my phone number, they might call or text me to threaten me in the future... So I think it's better to get a new SIM card. I'll give you my phone number after I get the new one."

That's perfectly reasonable. Now you should have nothing to say, right?

However, Lin Yuyan's expression changed from doubt to indifference.

"Tch, I thought it was something serious, Chen Jin, you're overthinking it! So what if they know your phone number? 'Where the Stars Are' may be a bunch of scoundrels, but an organization with any standards wouldn't stoop to such low-level tactics to disgust people. Just keep using your original phone number."

“…………”

Su Chenjin was speechless for a moment.

As the leader of "Where the Stars Are," Cheng Qi had to admit that their villainous organization indeed disdained sending harassing text messages.

Seeing Lin Yuyan holding her phone, ready to ask another question, Su Chenjin realized that she couldn't keep arguing like this.

Forget it, I'm not pretending anymore.

"The Grand Eunuch, Crescent Moon".

As the trigger command was given, Lin Yuyan's movements froze, and the light in her eyes disappeared.

"Grand Eunuch Hu Yue, I obey your orders."

Seeing the chief eunuch enter a hypnotic state, Su Chenjin finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Phew... thank goodness I had this trump card."

The ability to induce sleep is convenient.

Of course, Su Chenjin didn't forget what she should do after hypnotizing the chief eunuch—

He stepped forward, lifted the hem of Lin Yuyan's shirt, and looked directly at her lower abdomen.

The number in the center of the pink heart pattern is currently "14".

"Only 14?"

Su Chenjin frowned slightly, seemingly dissatisfied with the progress.

It only increased by two points compared to the last reading... slower than I expected.

"It seems... to deepen the hypnotic effect, simply increasing favorability is not enough; we need to use some special methods or increase the stimulation further."

But that's something to consider later. Now that we've already hypnotized her, wouldn't it be a waste not to do something productive with her?

Cheng Qi crossed his arms, stared intently at Lin Yuyan, and began his probing questions:

"I'm asking you, isn't today your day to update your novel? Is it finished yet?"

Under hypnosis, Lin Yuyan answered honestly:

"It's already written and will be released tonight."

"good."

Cheng Qi nodded in satisfaction. "So when is the next update?"

Lin Yuyan calmly reported the progress prediction:

"I can update another chapter in two days. Because I've been in the writing groove lately, and the plot is progressing smoothly, so... the next update can be a little earlier."

"Two days later?!"

Hearing the head eunuch say those words, Su Chenjin felt dizzy... At this moment, her heart was filled with overflowing happiness!

The Grand Eunuch actually managed to update twice a week!!!

"Master eunuch, I'm going to reward you handsomely!! When you update in two days, I'll dress up as the main character and cook you something delicious!"

However, Cheng Qi's excitement, which brought her to tears, lasted only a few seconds before she quickly calmed down.

……and many more.

Wait a minute... This guy only updated two chapters in a week, why am I so happy like an idiot?

Cheng Qi realized an extremely sad fact.

In the online literature world, authors generally update at least twice a day, right? Some can even manage to update 10,000 words a day!

The head eunuch's weekly allowance was only equivalent to what others received in a single day...

This little bit of updates is enough to get me so excited?!

"I've definitely been thoroughly trained by this eunuch, haven't I?!"

Cheng Qi squatted on the ground and hugged his head.

Because the author had stopped updating for so long, and the update speed was incredibly slow after resuming, the expectations of long-time readers like myself had already been lowered.

Unbeknownst to many, when people read her books, they all developed a humble mentality that "weekly updates are better than no updates at all; at least there's something to read."

So much so that now, the Grand Eunuch only occasionally bursts into "two updates a week," and I'm already so excited I don't know what to do.

"well……"

Cheng Qi sighed, feeling sorry for himself, but there was nothing he could do.

Why can't I just enjoy reading the stories she writes?

"Alright, since you've recently found your footing in writing your novel, you can't let that feeling go to waste!"

Cheng Qi rallied his spirits and began issuing subconscious commands to Lin Yuyan for manipulation and implantation—

"Listen up! Don't waste my time talking to me about cell phones."

"Your memory will go like this: You just came to me asking about my phone number, I said I wanted to change to a new phone number, and you thought changing to a new number was a good idea, so you acquiesced to my decision."

"After this conversation ends, you return to your room, go to your computer, and publish your latest chapter!"

After explaining the task, Cheng Qi went even further:

"After releasing the latest chapter, you yourself said that the feeling of writing suddenly came to you, right? You didn't want to miss this feeling, so you started writing the next chapter."

When giving the order this time, Cheng Qi deliberately guided the conversation in the direction of "you tell me how it feels," hoping to reduce the chief eunuch's resistance to writing.

Moreover, if the Grand Eunuch is indeed in a state of high excitement about writing right now, he probably wouldn't refuse this order.

Sure enough, Lin Yuyan blinked, thought for a few seconds, and then nodded slightly.

"Yes, I understand."

"Excellent, the human crescent moon has returned!"

As soon as the command to dispel the hypnosis was given, Lin Yuyan felt a barely perceptible daze flash through her mind. But soon, the "rational memories" that had just been implanted took over her brain.

"Hmm... Changing to a new phone number is fine, Chen Jin, just do what you want. I don't have anything else to do here, so I'll go back to my room now."

Lin Yuyan didn't linger and turned to leave Su Chenjin's room.

After closing the door, Cheng Qi turned around and slowly climbed onto the bed.

"Hmph~"

She picked up her phone, opened the Endpoint Novel app, and then refreshed the table of contents page for "Becoming a Magical Girl, and Then Going Off Work".

Cheng Qi is now arguably the only reader who knows when the Grand Eunuch will update.

"This time I'm the first to read the latest chapter right on time, who else on the entire internet can beat me to that?!"
