SHT Chapter 30

Edward raised an eyebrow, smiling as he asked, "Did you bring all the materials I asked you to bring?"

Mike nodded and took out a small USB drive from his pocket, "Edward Sir, I brought it."

This was what Edward asked Mike to bring during the study session yesterday. The USB drive contained all the materials for Mike's novel writing. Edward chuckled and said while suppressing the joy in his heart.

"Mike, can you let Edward Sir take a look at the upcoming plot later?"

On the campus of Horizon High School, Edward, Mike, and Keith walked side by side. Edward was in the middle, with Mike on the left and Keith on the right.

Mike, hearing Edward's words, asked in surprise, "Edward Sir, do you also read the novel I wrote?"

Mike's debut work, 'Fighting Heaven And Earth,' he had already written nearly a million words in his draft folders. While on the End Line Novel website, it has been serialized so far, with only over 500,000 words updated.

No one knew that he actually had saved thousands of drafts. When he first started serializing his novel on the End Line Novel website, Mike was just trying it out.

Everyone online thought "Fighting Heaven And Earth" was his first online novel. But that was not the case. Since junior school, he had enjoyed conceiving various novel plots in his mind.

The influence of authors like Jin Yong and
Koyoharu Gotouge's martial arts novels were significant, so he initially wrote martial arts novels. There were still many drafts of martial arts novels he had written stored on his home computer.

Those drafts had never been published online. In this era, where martial arts are declining, fewer people write about them and even fewer read them.

When Mike first started writing novels, it wasn't for making money, just because he enjoyed making various novel plots. It was for his pure enjoyment, without thinking about the profits.

Including later writing "Fighting Heaven And Earth," Mike didn't expect it to suddenly become so popular after publishing it on the End Line Novel website.

Edward chuckled and said, "I am Accidental Genius."

"What?" Mike suddenly opened his mouth wide and took a deep breath.

"Edward Sir, are you Accidental Genius?" He widened his eyes, looked at Edward incredulously, and asked again. This name was so familiar to him.

Accidental Genius, is one of the reward leaders on the end line novel website for his serialized novel "Fighting Heaven And Earth".

The days of the reward happened to be during the winter vacation. Therefore, Mike specially added an extra chapter for Accidental Genius, the reward leader.

He never expected that the fan leader of his novel would turn out to be Edward Sir? His new homeroom teacher.

"Surprised, aren't you?" Edward laughed and said, "The novel you wrote is really good, keep up the good work."

With Edward's affirmation, Mike's heart becomes extremely satisfied.

His academic performance was not good, and he entered Horizon High School by buying his grades.

Since childhood, whether it was his parents or teachers, they all just wanted him to study hard and get into a good university in the future.

One day, he happily showed the novel he wrote to his parents, but they said he was not focusing on the right things, such essays wouldn't get him high marks.

It was like talking to a wall. Since then, he never told his parents about writing novels.

When his Language teacher was the homeroom teacher before, he occasionally praised the essays he wrote. But when he incorporated some novel ideas and concepts into his essays, he would always receive criticism.

The Language teacher said that such writing techniques should not appear in essays, it's better to write essays honestly according to the methods I've taught you.

On the internet, he received countless praises, but also faced countless insults. All of this Mike could actually accept.

But in reality, Edward was the first elder to respect his dream of writing, which filled him with endless gratitude.

"Edward Sir, thank you. I will work hard and definitely not let you down." With a firm determination in his eyes, Mike said forcefully. Then, he suddenly grinned mischievously.

"Edward Sir, I'll tell you a secret. I've already written almost a million words for the novel 'Fighting Heaven And Earth'."

Edward was stunned, staring at the USB drive in Mike's hand and asked, "All there?"

"Yes sir." Mike nodded with a smile.

"Later, you must let me check it first." Edward laughed heartily, patting Mike's shoulder. While Edward and Mike were talking with each other Keith's eyes were glued on the cardboard box he was carrying.

As they chatted and laughed, Edward led them into the house of R.S. Housing Society.

Edward set down the cardboard boxes and began to unpack them under Keith's gaze.

As he took out the parts of the computer, he said to Keith, "This is the computer I usually play with. The specs are decent, so you can use it first. After some time, I will help you build a better one."

Keith, who had put on some weight, shook his head slightly, causing his chubby cheeks to jiggle.

"Edward Sir, there's no need to build a new computer. Gaming doesn't require high specs." Being able to skip classes and focus on gaming, Keith was already very grateful to Edward. He didn't want to make any more requests to him.

"How can that be? You're aiming to be the top player in both the national and international servers. How can you compromise on computer specs and network latency? I heard that professional players can even feel a delay of one millisecond. You need to work hard too. And for that you would need better computer specs." Edward said while looking at Keith.

Upon hearing Edward's words, Keith chuckled.

"Edward Sir, those pro players are just talking nonsense. Feeling a one-millisecond delay? Why aren't they up at the top then? The person who said that was just making excuses for losing the game."

Keith, who played games every day, knew the ins and outs of this matter. The one who said this was the League of Legends professional player from Nornia, Felix.

At last year's World Championship, Felix's team, Scout, was brutally defeated in three games by the top-ranked Aldovia team.

They even lost the last game with a score of 15 to 57. Setting the record in the history of League of Legends.

Felix's team, Scout, was permanently nailed to the pillar of shame.

During post-match interviews, Felix kept coming up with "quotable" statements.

The air conditioning in the venue is too cold, not having enough food in the morning, and other ridiculous things are all from Felix.

And that phrase, "Even a millisecond delay will cause my actions to deform," is truly a classic.

After last year's World Championships, Felix was jokingly called "The Millisecond Man" by the players from all other teams.

"Felix, No wonder your girlfriend Mia wants to leave you. How can you not even hold on for a millisecond?"

"Felix, why can't you even last for three seconds?"

Under the original post, there were nothing but mocking comments towards Felix. Keith knew all about these things. He also admired Felix's ability to find excuses.


Edward carried the computer mainframe, Keith carried the monitor, and Mike helped with the mouse, keyboard, and network cable. The three of them arrived in a room.

"I plan to turn this room into an e-sports-themed room." Edward smiled and said to the two of them, "Not only can it be used as a place for Keith to train regularly, but it can also be a place for students of class 9 to come and relax and improve their studies. Consider it as a reward for them."


Keith was excited and said, "Wow. Edward Sir, you are really great." Edward patted his shoulder and said, "But don't tell your classmates about this yet, okay?"


Seeing Keith and Mike nodding, he continued, "Also, you don't need to tell your parents about skipping classes for now. Keith, wait until you rank first in the national server. And Mike you wait until you can have a stable income for at least three months. After achieving these goals I will personally come to your homes and help you deal with your parents."
