At the start, I tricked the school beauty, and ended up with twins?

The issue of company revenue truly gave Gu Yu a headache. He sat alone in the office for half the day and couldn't figure out any methods to expand the business.

After all, the only partners he had established cooperation with were some internet gaming companies. He couldn't possibly expect his second brother's department to spare some time to develop another game, right?

Yu Shutong and his team had been swamped with work; it simply wasn't possible for them to handle two projects simultaneously.

Boss Pu had been away for some time, and Gu Yu had no idea what he was busy with, so he could only turn to his third brother for ideas.

Gu Yu walked towards Qin Shan's office. Recently, Qin Shan had nothing much to do, and he spent his days in the office writing.

According to him, his novel had already been published, and it was a critical period for a sprint of mass updates, so he had to spend a lot of time thinking about the content.

Gu Yu did not let anyone disturb him; he knew that writing was the greatest pursuit in life for his third brother.

It was his third brother's dream, and he was sure to support it unconditionally.

Gu Yu stood outside Qin Shan's office door, looking through the glass panel in the door, seeing him scratching his head and sitting in front of his computer, alternating between deep thought and rapidly typing on the keyboard.

Gu Yu reached out his hand, thinking about knocking, but ultimately hesitated and lowered his hand.

He knew, without guessing, that his third brother was currently in a creative bottleneck, and interrupting him at this time could potentially disrupt his creative flow.

Gu Yu pulled back his hand, put his hands in his pockets, and turned to walk outside for some air.

Inside the office, just as Gu Yu thought, Qin Shan was in deep contemplation.

The novel he wrote, "My Roommate Can't Be So Strong", had been published.

He had been updating it with tens of thousands of words daily to ensure readers did not drift away.

However, such continuous massive updates had quickly exhausted his creativity, to the point that now he had been sitting in front of the computer for an hour and had only written a couple of hundred words.

In the past, with his speed of two thousand words per hour, he would have already published a chapter by now.

But today, even though it was already afternoon, he had not yet written half a chapter.

Not that he couldn't force it out, but that would risk the criticism of padding his word count.

And padding the word count might temporarily solve the updating issue, but over time, it would inevitably cause readers to lose patience with following the updates.

Moreover, his book's performance was very good currently. As long as he didn't destabilize it, there was a great chance it could become a top-quality book with an average subscription of three thousand!

It had only been half a month since the book was published, and the average subscriptions had already exceeded two thousand five hundred. As long as he maintained the quality and updates, it would take at most another week for him to reach the standard of a top-quality book.

Top-quality in the first month since publication!

Previously, he dared not even dream of this, but now he was about to achieve this goal.

"Darn! I really have no inspiration during the day! Should I write at night instead?"

"No, no, writing at night definitely won't be in time, I worry!"

"Damn it, why can't I squeeze out a single word!"

Qin Shan was on the verge of going crazy, even pulling out quite a bit of his hair.

He had just thought of a sentence and typed it into the editor, but within a few seconds, he felt it was poorly phrased, so he deleted it and rewrote it.

Sometimes, after he had written several hundred words, he felt they did not connect well with the previous plot, so he deleted and rewrote them again.

After multiple failed attempts to get into the zone, Qin Shan finally put down the mouse and slumped back in his chair sloppily.

He casually picked up the smartphone on the desk and began playing with it.

Since deep thought had brought no inspiration, he had to look elsewhere for it.

Like the authors' group!

Qidian Contracted Authors Group 3—

"Guys, I'm stuck, what should I do? I've been writing all day and have not written anything substantial!"

Qin Shan sent a message in the authors' group.

The authors who were just chatting about beauties abruptly stopped the topic, and then an author named Mr. Tian from next door mentioned him.

Mr. Tian: "Top Boss, you get writer's block too?"

Qin Shan, leaning on his chair, curled his lips and quickly typed on the T9 keyboard: "Absolutely!"

"I feel like I've fallen into the 'good performance syndrome!'"

He paused in thought and then added another sentence.

The so-called good performance syndrome is when a person, due to luck or other reasons, suddenly achieves success they had never attained before.

At that point, one becomes confused.

Fear of losing the achievements one already has leads to constant changes in thoughts and methods.

It often leads to serious self-denial.

This is why many authors, despite having good performance after launching, often cannot hold on for a month or two and become eunuchs.

Some are due to the plot collapsing and being unable to write, but others are entirely because of the good performance syndrome.

Before the book became popular, they felt that it didn't matter how they wrote, but once it suddenly took off, they fell into confusion,

fearing that their writings wouldn't be accepted by readers, afraid their performance would decline.

This often leads to difficulty in writing, even to the point of inspiration drying up.

Of course, in other words, this is also hitting a bottleneck; only by adjusting to this stage and correcting one's mindset can one really maintain the final course of a book's success. Experience new stories on My Virtual Library Empire

It's difficult.

Because everyone fears suddenly losing what they've gained.

It's like being an office worker, when one day your boss tells you your performance is outstanding and awards you a bonus of fifty thousand for the month.

You might be happy at the moment, but after some time, when the excitement fades, you start having doubts.

You don't want to receive the bonus just once; you hope to get it next month and the month after that.

At this point, you feel that carrying on as usual won't work any longer, and you should do something better to catch the boss's attention.

But in reality, things often get messed up.

This is also Murphy's Law: the more people want something, the less likely they are to get it.

"Top Boss, you're joking! With a first subscription of fifteen hundred, you must be becoming a premium author soon, right?"

"How could a Top Boss possibly write a flop!"

"Exactly, Boss has made a fortune this month!"

"Top Boss, give us a shout-out for our chapters!"

After replying to Mr. Tian next door, other authors in the group also joined the discussion.

The vast majority didn't really believe he was about to flop, especially considering Qin Shan's performance this month, which everyone had seen,

was absolutely skyrocketing.

It was a performance that made everyone wildly envious.

Everyone just thought that Qin Shan suddenly saying this must be just showing off in a boastful way.

Seeing these responses that showed no awareness of his actual problem nor offered any help in solving it, Qin Shan felt quite helpless.

Indeed, how could they help if none of them had experienced this themselves?
