FWTS Chapter 152: Rapid Translation


"The figure for the additional investment has come out."


Chu Qing glanced at Hou Muyun, who was munching on a chicken foot, and said, "We need to invest an additional 25 million."


"Okay." Hou Muyun nodded, quite calm. "I was expecting you to ask for another thirty or forty million. This amount is less than I anticipated. Did you bring the contract? I'll sign it right... Are you messing with me on purpose?"


"Huh?" Chu Qing looked slightly concerned. "What's wrong? Is the chicken foot bad?"


"The chicken foot is fine, but you are the problem!" Hou Muyun bit down hard on the chicken foot. "Fine, 25 million it is."


Chu Qing frowned slightly, puzzled. "You're a grown man. How can you change your attitude so quickly? It's odd. Did I do something to offend you, or was it the chicken foot?"


Hou Muyun felt a bit embarrassed. "You don't know what '25' means?"


Chu Qing shook her head.


Hou Muyun thought about it and realized that Chu Qing, having lived abroad for a long time, might genuinely not know the slang meaning of '25'. This was awkward. "Just pretend I was acting crazy just now. Did you bring the contract? I'll sign it, transfer the money to you, or give it to Qing Tian Film tomorrow."


"I brought it." Chu Qing took out the agreement and handed it to Hou Muyun.


Hou Muyun wiped his hands with a napkin, took the agreement, glanced at it, and then looked up at Chu Qing. "Are you kidding me? This is 22 million!"


Chu Qing suppressed a laugh. "Really? I might have remembered it wrong."


Hou Muyun was speechless. He signed the contract, handed one copy back to Chu Qing, picked up another chicken foot, and continued to eat. He then asked about other matters related to the film crew.


As they ate and chatted, besides some trivial matters, the main topic was naturally the script.


Chu Qing, who had studied film scripts, had many insights. She and the director had already listed the parts of Hou Muyun's script that needed changes. It wasn't that Hou Muyun's script was bad, but many parts weren't suitable for filming. Besides practical shooting considerations, some parts might not pass the review process.


They chatted until it was past midnight.


"It's so late, I should go."


"I'll walk you downstairs."


Hou Muyun escorted Chu Qing downstairs. Since parking was difficult in the area, Chu Qing's car was parked a bit further away, so he walked her a few more steps.


"Oh, I almost forgot while we were discussing the script."


Hou Muyun remembered something and said, "Didn't you live in the US before? Are you familiar with publishing there?"


Chu Qing was curious. "Why, are you planning to take your novel or comic to the international market?"


Hou Muyun smiled and nodded. "I have that idea, so I'm asking in advance."


Chu Qing asked, "Are you planning to publish in Chinese directly or translate it into English?"


Hou Muyun: "Is there a difference?"


Chu Qing: "There is a difference. In the US, there are quite a few specialized Chinese publishers. If you publish in Chinese, it will be easier. Whatever you decide, I can help you get in touch. If it's in English, you'll need to find a good translator... I have a classmate who works at a top publishing house. If you're serious about this, I can help you contact them. But of course, your work must be of good quality and suitable for the market there."


Hou Muyun smiled and said, "Looks like I asked the right person! I'll try to finish the manuscript quickly and then hand it over to you to handle."


Chu Qing laughed. "I'll charge you a referral fee."


Hou Muyun sighed, "I'll cook a whole pot of chicken feet for you!"


"No, two pots!"


Chu Qing waved, got in her car, and drove off.


"Wow, she drives pretty aggressively!"


Hou Muyun checked the time and returned to his studio. He made a large cup of coffee, pulled up the prologue of "Future War Chronicles," and opened his writing software, cracking his knuckles. "Alright, let's see how fast I can write in English."

GDYARVE **Chapter 1: So You Guys Think It's Very Simple, Huh!?**

# Game Design: You All Rate it Very Easy? Warning Note: I am translating this for myself i real like this novel, there are some small and big issue with translation. This is mtl  Ye Feng crossed over to a parallel world where games were scarce. He obtained a game development system that increased his game-making abilities based on players rating his games as "super difficult." However, the feedback he received was consistently "very easy." Determined to challenge this, he introduced a series of notoriously hard games from his previous world, such as *Getting Over It*, *Dead Cells*, *Bloodborne*, and *Sekiro*.
