Wen Yizai, the second generation, made Zhang Lezhao very awkward when he took over. He envied these tycoons who didn't treat money as a big deal. If he could be like that one day, his life would be worth it.

Besides, having a popular author under his management would benefit his performance, but why this particular book?

"Alright, Wen Yizai, but I've read your book carefully. If you really love this field and are serious about it, let's have a good chat?"

After saying this, Zhang Lezhao found that Wen Yizai had disappeared and didn't respond for a long time, almost making him want to spit blood.

Usually, editors are so busy that they can't reply to authors' messages in time, which is why they are known for being aloof. But now, it's different.

Just as he was in a dilemma, a scream echoed in the large office of the editorial department, "Damn, I wasn't joking, the book review section is exploding again."

Zhang Lezhao was delighted. Exploding again? Isn't that normal? It just hit ten million views. What's so strange about that?

While he was still happy, he paused. Why did the voice come from the fantasy editorial group? This is an urban novel.

"It's not just any event. Choushen posted in the book review section, which got most of the readers excited. Now the book review section is being flooded."

Choushen?

There aren't many authors on Qihang whose names contain the character 'chou' (ugly), and even fewer are called Choushen by editors. It must be "I Am Ugly to the Depths of the Pacific."

A fantasy god, his consecutive books have not only had explosive subscriptions but also been adapted into games, earning him a fortune. Although his last book had a slight drop in performance, it was still top-tier. His new book has been dominating the new book charts, click charts, and various other charts since its release.

Of course, that was before yesterday. From the first ten million alliance of "I Am Not Joking," this book has been topping various charts.

Although veteran authors and new authors have different areas for the new book chart, the click counts are the same.

A myriad of thoughts flashed through Zhang Lezhao's mind as he hurriedly opened the page. What he saw was a flood of comments, mostly about shamelessness.

However, at the top, there was a post with hundreds of replies, posted by "I Am Ugly to the Depths of the Pacific."

"Such an ordinary book got two ten million alliances in two days? Really ridiculous. Do you really think everyone is stupid? Even if it gains temporary attention, how much good reputation can it gain?"

The content of Choushen's post wasn't too bad, but it wasn't direct either.

From the first reply, the content became bizarre and full of criticism.

"Caught a Choushen. What Choushen said is absolutely right. Damn, it's definitely a flood of fake votes, and they are mindless. They brushed twenty thousand dollars in two days, they are pigs."

"Speechless, do you have the nerve to say that? You are the one who floods fake votes, aren't you? Otherwise, how could your old routine books top various charts? I think you are just jealous."

...

The first floor was clearly a fan of Choushen, but the second floor was strange. It was Wang Dashazi, the gold alliance member with over twenty million Qihang coins, who attacked Choushen.

With his appearance, the post became extremely popular.

Choushen, a fantasy god, has countless fans and is already very popular. Wang Dashazi? He is definitely a super tycoon in everyone's mind.

However, among the many replies, there were more posts praising the tycoon. Although Choushen is popular, sometimes his performance is not entirely accurate and has some water content.

The other side is also following the rules, so there's nothing to say.

Hundreds of replies, some mocking and ridiculing Wen Yizai as a fool, but Wang Dashazi brought more momentum, making many bystanders join in to mock Choushen.

It was chaotic.

This time, it started to get chaotic from here, and the chaos brought a wave of flooding.

...

In Bashan, Sichuan Province, in a high-end residential complex, a thirty-year-old man named Guo Zhenjie smoked with a dark face, pulling the mouse as he read. The more he read, the angrier he became.

He just casually posted a comment, even if it wasn't very nice, but what he said was the truth.

Wen Yizai didn't say a word, but Wang Dashazi, the twenty million gold alliance member, jumped out to attack him. Don't say it, but Wang Dashazi's name is silly, but he has been the hottest reader in the past two days.

He couldn't be any hotter.

His generous spending of twenty thousand dollars attracted a lot of attention, so the post was really skewed, bringing countless bystanders to mock this god.

"Damn, I admit that I was a bit jealous at first. Twenty million alliance, a bit of sour grapes, but..."

No matter what, it shouldn't be all about cursing him.

His QQ number and the book review section of his new book were also exploding, with fans standing up for him, organizing to flood the board to help him vent.

Seeing this, Guo Zhenjie felt a warm feeling in his heart and suddenly had an idea.

"Although being cursed is not a good feeling, if this matter is handled well, it can also bring many benefits."

"My last book was already a flop, and my fame has declined. My new book topped the charts, but it was mainly because there were no strong competitors at the same time. Compared to other top-tier new books or even stronger new books, my book's performance is not that great. If handled well, it might be a good opportunity for promotion."

...

After writing for eight or nine years, Guo Zhenjie is a semi-businessman and semi-writer. Celebrities can become famous without any works just through promotion, and novels are the same.

The bigger the fame, the easier it is to adapt, which means more money.

His book's situation is good, but compared to other top-tier new books or even stronger new books, there is still a gap. Some people are right; he has been relying on old routines. Writing one book in a certain way can make it popular, but the second book with the same routine will lose readers, and the third...

"The hottest book right now is 'I Am Not Joking.' Even though it has only been popular for less than a day, two ten million alliances will definitely last for a while. If I promote it?"

"My book is a routine, but the quality is ten times better than 'I Am Not Joking.' Decided, I will promote it this way!"

...

At first, he was slightly jealous, feeling annoyed and casually writing a comment because his book was being overshadowed. But the large number of fans and Wang Dashazi's proactive move pushed the situation to a point he didn't expect.

Since this situation is not bad and has benefits, even if the conflict is not significant, it can be utilized.

With this thought, Guo Zhenjie immediately logged into the Fantasy Forum and started typing.

Qihang Chinese Network is the largest leading website in the country, with over 70% of readers and authors gathered here.

The Fantasy Forum is mainly a platform for authors and editors to exchange and gather, with various sections well-developed. It is one of the best places for industry insiders to read gossip and find new books, and it has significant influence.
