Chapter 0004: The Rainy Night Serial Murder Case

Zheng Rongxuan has indeed been very busy lately. Although he can "create" works without having to think at all, even typing has become quite a painful task. Fortunately, seeing his works becoming increasingly popular in the literary community, with many people even reposting them to other communities and forums, and receiving considerable praise, he still feels a significant sense of accomplishment

After this chapter, Life as a Play will present another novel, and I hope to receive continued support. As a preview, the next novel will be based on the famous three unsolved mysteries

After casually eating something outside, Zheng Rongxuan returned to his apartment and turned on his computer. During the startup process, he made himself a cup of coffee, which was one of his habits from his previous life, and it was instant coffee, simple and convenient

Zheng Rongxuan smiled and waved goodbye to Zhao Zilong, leaving the school while holding his books

After school in the afternoon, Zheng Rongxuan had finished packing his textbooks and was just about to leave the classroom when someone patted him on the shoulder. He heard Zhao Zilong's voice beside him: "Zheng Rongxuan, what have you been busy with lately?"

Zheng Rongxuan has made remarkable progress, going from initially taking over an hour to type a chapter in Korean to now only needing 20 minutes to complete a chapter

If he doesn't get a share of the pie, Zheng Rongxuan feels that it is somewhat against the natural order, especially now that it has been revealed.

Noticing that it was getting late, Zheng Rongxuan quickly reopened the website, clicked the button to post a new thread, and then typed in the title of his new book

However, "My Sassy Girl" has still ignited the internet due to its significant ideological conflict with the real world. This work, which presents a stark contrast to traditional Korean thought, is particularly beloved by numerous fans online, especially among female audiences. In fact, at the end of each chapter, there are hundreds, if not thousands, of intense discussions from both men and women on the internet.

Zheng Rongxuan, however, maintains a regular routine of life that revolves around the cafeteria, classroom, and dormitory. If it were not for his fluent Korean and the fact that he occasionally assists exchange students with translations, many people would overlook the fact that he is also an exchange student.

It was nearly 1 AM before I finally finished writing the script for this movie after all the effort. The novel had already been completed earlier, but the script is evidently much more detailed

Title: "My Sassy Girl", Chapter 20: A Story That Never Ends (Conclusion)

Upon opening the familiar literary community website, I saw that the first chapter of my novel had already exceeded 300,000 views, with replies totaling more than 7,000. Even the chapter I posted last night at 11 PM, which has not yet been up for 24 hours, has already surpassed 120,000 clicks and received over 900 replies. Zheng Rongxuan also believes that the rhythm he has controlled this time is quite good

On the night of October 27, Zheng Rongxuan decisively liquidated his long positions, and his account balance immediately became 1.38 million. Feeling somewhat pleased, Zheng Rongxuan refrained from making any hasty moves and instead fully invested in foreign exchange. With the year coming to an end, the European economy was showing a good recovery trend, while the United States had created an internet bubble this year, causing the exchange rate of the US dollar against the euro to continue to decline. However, this trend began to reverse at the end of the year.

Although Zheng Rongxuan is a new author online, he does not have the same level of fame as Qian Niu 74 on the internet

It is truly a pity that they still wanted to invite you to Jeju Island this weekend

After logging in, he deleted most of the unhelpful messages and suggestions from a pile of private messages. Zheng Rongxuan responded to several authors' proposals and then opened the new post again.

Opening the movie folder, several adaptations of novels based on films that have recently emerged according to Baidu are quietly lying inside. Accompanying these are scripts with the same titles, although these scripts are not yet needed at the moment

Zhao Zilong said with a bitter smile: "You grew up by the sea; can you be the same as us inland people who have never seen the ocean? Are you sure you won't go this weekend?"

"Memories of Murder" is based on one of the "Three Major Unsolved Cases," the "Rainy Night Serial Rape and Murder Case." In the mid to late 1980s, the Hwaseong serial murder case plunged the entire South Korean society into a state of panic

I am certain and sure that I will not go, you all have fun

After minimizing the website, Zheng Rongxuan opened a folder that was categorized into Korean—movies, novels, music, and television dramas.

I appreciate the suggestions and opinions from my friends, but I have been contemplating this story for quite some time. I nearly completed it last night, and after class today, I wrote some more. The entire story is now finished, so since it has already been published, I will not make any further modifications. I would like to thank all the supportive readers.

Today is October 30. Except for the first day when he uploaded five chapters at once, Zheng Rongxuan has maintained a pace of one chapter per day. It is not that he cannot be faster, but he understands that if a work is released all at once, the anticipation of the audience will instantly vanish, and the lasting impact of the work will be significantly diminished

Zheng Rongxuan wrote a passage at the beginning of the final chapter, then uploaded the already completed final chapter, and subsequently clicked submit directly

Recently, the students at Dongguk University have discovered a peculiar phenomenon. As an exchange student from China, Zheng Rongxuan is completely different from the other exchange students. While the other exchange students are squeezing almost all their time into studying Korean, making friends, and sightseeing.

Zheng Rongxuan shook his head in a somewhat exasperated manner and suggested, "Listen to me, it's best not to go at this time. It's only interesting to visit there in the summer, and I don't feel there is much difference between that place and my hometown."

Indeed, Zheng Rongxuan chose to adapt his second novel from the South Korean film "Memories of Murder," which was released in 2003. The story unfolds in a small town in South Korea, where a series of serial murders occur, with the victims being young women. Local police and detectives dispatched from Seoul collaborate on the case. The local police exhibit a brutal style, resorting to torture and coercion, and have coerced confessions from suspects multiple times. The detectives from Seoul, on the other hand, observe and analyze calmly, successfully ruling out several suspects. However, the victims continue to be mysteriously and brutally murdered on rainy nights. The nerves of both the local and Seoul police are on the brink of collapse. When they apprehend a suspect who perfectly matches all the characteristics, a forensic report faxed from the United States contradicts their judgment.

Zheng Rongxuan checked and found that there is no online application option on the website of the Korean Copyright Commission, so he plans to accumulate several works before proceeding with the copyright registration formalities

This ability to transcribe according to movies left him somewhat entranced. Although it was a complete imitation, he felt no psychological pressure at all, especially when he plagiarized the works of others and saw countless netizens online praising the novels he had "written." This provided him with the greatest motivation

Therefore, in addition to "My Sassy Girl," Zheng Rongxuan is currently "creating" several new novels, well, actually they are adaptations from films

In his mind, the third movie was playing, while Zheng Rongxuan's fingers continuously tapped on the keyboard, skillfully typing out segments of text that perfectly matched the plot of the film. Whenever necessary, he would pause or rewind the movie in his mind with just a thought

Oh, it's nothing. I found some work to do off-campus, so I apologize. I won't be able to attend your gathering for the time being
