After sending the notification, Zhang Xiaoyu dared not look at her phone again, fearing that someone might call her via the internet.

To improve efficiency, she even went to the library's electronic reading room, where there were computers available for direct use. Everyone says that when you're surrounded by people studying, you can't help but be inspired to learn.

She used to often stop writing and look at her phone, telling herself she'd only play for a little while, but when she put her phone down and looked at the time again, an hour or two had already passed.

This time, Zhang Xiaoyu made up her mind to put her phone in her backpack and not look at it at all.

Zhang Xiaoyu dislikes writing essays, and every time she sees the 800-word requirement, she gets a headache. It's the same now; although it's changed to a thesis, it's still just as daunting.

As she calmed down and watched the blank pages of the document being filled with black text, Zhang Xiaoyu gradually became more focused.

Zhang Xiaoyu didn't come to her senses until the loudspeaker announced the library's closing time at 10:30. People around her were also packing up, so Zhang Xiaoyu didn't linger any longer, carefully saving her thesis before leaving.

"I'm back." Zhang Xiaoyu returned to the dormitory and found that her roommate seemed to have finished her live stream, so she greeted her at a normal volume.

Zhou Yueling was playing a game, and Chen Shiya was watching a variety show, but they both responded at this time.

"It's so late, did you stay at the library until it closed before coming back?"

"Mmm, Shiya, you guessed right."

Zhou Yueling finished her game, put down her phone, and turned around: "Xiaoyu, how's it going? Have you finished writing?"

Zhang Xiaoyu shook her head: "No, I only wrote a little over three thousand words. I feel like I wasted so much time sitting in the library. I didn't even look at my phone the whole time, but I still kept stopping and starting, and it wasn't flowing smoothly at all."

"It's just like when I used to write those 800-word essays. I always made up for the word count when I didn't have enough words, and I never exceeded the word count."

Upon hearing this, Xia Yiqing asked, "Didn't you make an outline?"

Zhang Xiaoyu: "I had a rough outline in my mind, and I thought it was good enough, but as I wrote, it went off track."

Xia Yiqing: "A bad pen is worse than a good memory; it's more useful to just write it down."

Zhou Yueling: "It's okay, Xiaoyu. You've already finished half of it, so the other half will be done soon."

Zhang Xiaoyu sat in a chair and drank water: "No, I feel like all my brain cells have died today. My mind is blank and I can't write anything."

Zhou Yueling: "I'll write it tomorrow. There's still a day left, I'm sure I can finish it. I've already written the outline today, I'll finish it in one night tomorrow!"

Zhang Xiaoyu praised her: "So amazing!"

Chen Shiya also comforted her, saying, "I also have a thousand words left to write for the ending, which I'll finish tomorrow. We're about the same."

"That's great. I feel like I can let loose a little and play on my phone a bit with everyone here."

Zhang Xiaoyu took out her phone and saw a stack of unread messages. She scrolled through them a few times.

Some people in the group asked when she would be back, but it's really hard to say, so let's put it aside for now.

Xiao Tong, the operations manager, also subtly reminded her to go online as soon as possible after finishing her assignment. Of course, she was telling her to prioritize her studies and didn't urge her too much. She's a very considerate young lady.

She slid her finger down, and...hmm? Her eyes widened in surprise.

Is this...is this the boss?!

I cautiously added the guild leader at first, but later I was glad that he was an invisible leader who just stayed in her friend list.

And then he actually showed up today!

Zhang Xiaoyu cautiously clicked on it and took a look.

[Boss: Are you taking the day off again?]

[Boss: When will it air?]

[Boss: It's best not to take too long. The new big brother just arrived, and your broadcast is unstable, so he might leave.]

Perhaps because she hadn't replied, there was still a lonely question mark two hours later.

[Boss: ?]

It's one thing for Xiaotong to leave the stage, but even the boss has to come down and urge her on?

Zhang Xiaoyu was in a daze, feeling as if she had done something that would anger both heaven and man.

"Yi Qingyueling, it hasn't been long since I last broadcasted in three days, right? Why is even the boss personally urging me to come back to work?"

Zhang Xiaoyu hugged herself tightly; she needed to reply to her boss's message as soon as possible.

[biggest fish: Cat apologizing.jpg]

[biggest fish: Because the paper isn't finished yet, I'll broadcast it as soon as it's done (cat swears.jpg)]

[biggestfish: I was in the library and didn't check my phone, so I'm only replying now. Sorry, boss!]

Zhou Yueling: "Huh? Your boss is looking for you?"

Zhang Xiaoyu looked up: "Yeah, he asked me when I could start broadcasting? I didn't check my phone while I was in the library, so I'm only replying to him now."

Xia Yiqing: "I think it's perfectly normal. You're clearly in the prime of your career right now, a real money tree. If you don't stream for a few days in a row, the guild will lose a lot of money. The key is that I'm afraid this little sapling will wither."

"If your boss is proactively messaging you, he must value you a lot and be getting a little anxious."

Zhou Yueling nodded: "Yiqing's analysis makes sense. Didn't your boss talk to you about this before?"

Zhang Xiaoyu shook her head: "We've never chatted. We just added each other on WeChat before and then it just sat quietly in my contact list, so I was quite surprised when it suddenly popped up today."

Zhou Yueling: "Then they must be secretly watching you."

"Um... I'm a little scared when you say that."

Zhou Yueling: "What are you afraid of? You should be happy. The more attention your boss pays to you, the greater your potential is."

"...But why do I only feel pressure right now?"

Just as Zhang Xiaoyu finished speaking, several new messages suddenly appeared on the chat interface.

[Boss: Hmm]

[Boss: What about tomorrow?]

Zhang Xiaoyu thought about how her only free time tomorrow would be in the evening, and then she thought about her thesis.

[biggest fish: emmm, probably not tomorrow either, I have homework to do (bitter smile)]

[Biggest Fish: It's possible the day after tomorrow!]

[Boss: The day after tomorrow?]

[biggest fish: I have class the night after tomorrow, I'm too tired to do anything about it]

Boss: ...

[Boss: I still want to remind you, if you want to make money, don't waste this great opportunity. You're riding high right now, but things might change tomorrow.]

[Biggest Fish: Boss, I know, I'll try my best]

Xia Yiqing saw Zhang Xiaoyu put down her phone after letting out a sigh of relief and asked, "Finished replying?"

Zhou Yueling: "Is your boss very strict?"

Zhang Xiaoyu: "I think so, but it was a well-intentioned reminder. He said that if I want to make money, I shouldn't waste the current opportunity, and that I'm doing very well right now."

Zhou Yueling: "Although what he said makes sense, he is a capitalist, and in the end he still wants you to make money for him."

Xia Yiqing: "Keep it up, finish your thesis quickly, and then make some money."

Zhang Xiaoyu: "Okay~ I'm not playing anymore, I'm going to focus on writing!"

But her efforts didn't save her a single day; she still didn't start her live stream until Saturday.

[Enter the live stream if you are invincible]

Zhang Xiaoyu: "Welcome, War God! You're so fast! You're the first one!"
