Lin Xuan saw the message and nervously touched his nose.
Wasn't that the truth?
He really did oversleep because of Su Hua.
Last night, Su Hua was too wild, and he only fell asleep at four or five in the morning.
His novels were all uploaded to his computer, where a program he wrote would automatically send out three chapters at the scheduled time.
The chapters he had stored were just used up yesterday. He had originally planned to continue uploading after attending Lin Li's birthday party, but then he got pulled into bed by Su Hua...
Lin Xuan replied to Foxtail: [I had something yesterday. I’ll update soon.]
Foxtail felt a pang of envy when he learned that Lin Xuan was still an undergraduate.
Damn it!
An undergraduate student has become the best-selling novelist, owns a entertainment company, and runs a novel website.
When I was in university, I was still asking my parents for a living allowance...
Lin Xuan opened his computer and posted three chapters for each of his three books.
Foxtail: "......"
Is this it? Is this all?
Foxtail took a screenshot of his previous chat with Lin Xuan and sent it over.
[Foxtail]: Who said you would update more for the sake of your readers? Now you're stingy with six thousand words a day.
Foxtail sent the message gloomily via QQ.
[Foxtail]: Boss, you've become the person you once despised.
Lin Xuan coughed lightly, covering his mouth with his hand.
He had no choice. Before, he needed to make money and updated frantically.
Now, he needed to keep his readers hooked, using his novels as a brand to keep them on his site. Moreover, he didn't want to spend so much time on writing anymore.
That's why he had to update less.
Lin Xuan put his phone aside and logged into Weibo.
His gaze deepened.
It had been almost a day, and it was time to expose Lin Li and Qin Ruoyao's affair.
Weibo was the largest news platform, so he decided to post directly there.
#Lin Li Cheats on Qin Ruoyao#
[Yundu City Good Citizen]: Last night, Lin Li held a birthday party. A video of Lin Li and Qin Ruoyao's intimate affair was played during the event. Lin Li is already engaged and has a fiancée.
He also uploaded a video with key parts blurred.
Lin Xuan manually operated to push the topic to the top of Weibo's trending searches.
Yesterday, as soon as Lin Li's scandal broke out, Lin Chang had Wang Yajun coordinate with various platforms to suppress the news, including Weibo.
Liu Hui, a technician at Weibo, immediately followed the instructions to remove the trending topics and block all topics related to Lin Li and Qin Ruoyao.
However!
No matter how hard he tried, the trending topic refused to budge.
Liu Hui immediately thought of Lin Xuan.
"Damn, is it him again!"
Just as he thought that, a few words popped up on his computer screen: "Don't interfere with Lin Li’s matter."
Liu Hui's hand trembled.
It really was him! Lin Xuan!!
Liu Hui didn't dare to linger and hurriedly ran to the general manager's office.
In the general manager's office of Weibo's headquarters building.
Lin Chang had already called the general manager, angrily demanding, "I gave you money to remove the trending searches and block all topics about Lin Li and Qin Ruoyao. Why is it still trending at the top?"
The general manager apologized with a smile, "Our technicians are already handling the situation, Mr. Lin. Please wait a moment."
Starlight Group's main business is in the entertainment industry, and they have many collaborations with Weibo.
The general manager still gave Lin Chang some face.
Lin Chang said sternly, "This is about my son's reputation. Immediately block it."
The general manager had just hung up when Liu Hui rushed into the office.
"General Manager." Liu Hui panted.
"Liu Hui, right? You’re just in time," the general manager frowned. "What’s going on? Why is Lin Li and Qin Ruoyao's topic still trending after so many minutes?"
"General Manager, I was about to report this to you."
Liu Hui said, "That trending topic can't be removed, nor should it be removed."
"What’s the matter?" The general manager frowned.
“General Manager, that trending topic was most likely arranged by Lin Xuan. He also contacted us, instructing us not to interfere with Lin Li's matter,” Liu Hui responded.
"What, it's him!"
The general manager's hand holding the water cup trembled.
The secretary at the side said, "General Manager, Lin Xuan is also part of the Lin family. Last night, Starlight Group publicly announced that the Lin family cut ties with Lin Xuan. This morning, Lin Chang even held a press conference to clarify their relationship with Lin Xuan. It seems that Lin Xuan and the Lin family don’t get along. If Lin Xuan is behind this, it must be revenge. I think it’s better for us not to interfere."
"Yes, we can't intervene," the general manager nodded. "Since Lin Xuan has spoken, interfering would offend him."
This Lin Xuan is someone they can't afford to offend.
Lin Xuan’s hacking skills are too powerful. He treats Weibo like his own home, breaking in anytime without leaving a trace.
If they were to anger Lin Xuan, and he attacks their platform, it would be disastrous.
"Liu Hui, go back," the general manager instructed. "From now on, turn a blind eye to anything related to Lin Xuan."
"Yes."
Liu Hui left.
The general manager called Lin Chang, "Mr. Lin, the money you gave us has been returned. I'm really sorry, but we can't remove that trending topic. It's beyond our capabilities."
"What’s going on?" Lin Chang frowned. "Isn’t this your own platform?"
The general manager remained silent.
Of course, they were powerless.
If they angered Lin Xuan and he attacked their backend, it would be the end.
To be honest, it’s quite frustrating.
This is our own platform, yet we can't take control.
“Did someone pay you a lot of money, and that’s why the trending topic wasn't removed? How much did they pay?” Lin Chang demanded.
"Mr. Lin," the general manager apologized with a smile. "It has nothing to do with money. We really have our reasons, and we’re sorry."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Lin Chang's face darkened.
Just as he ended the call with Weibo, other platforms like Tieba and Zhihu also contacted Lin Chang.
They told him they couldn’t handle it.
"Clang!" Lin Chang ended the call with clenched teeth, his chest heaving heavily.
Who is behind this?
Lin Chang didn’t suspect Lin Xuan. He didn’t think Lin Xuan had the capability. He believed it was Starlight Group’s competitor playing dirty.
As for Lin Li, dream girls who used to call him "hubby" had already unfollowed him. Only a few diehard fans remained.
Students from Yundu University also mocked him behind his back.
Lin Li’s carefully built good image was completely destroyed.
Lin Li's face turned ashen, and he slammed his phone violently against the wall.
"Lin Xuan!"
Lin Li gritted his teeth, his forehead veins bulging. "I will never rest until I am done with you!"
"Just wait for me!"
Lin Li's eyes were filled with venomous hatred.
The look in his eyes was one of wanting to tear Lin Xuan apart, piece by piece.
and couldn't return to the real world. Finally, I gave up and decided to go with the flow, only to discover that writing a diary could make me stronger. Since no one could read it, Su Luo wrote freely, daring to pen anything and everything. Female Lead #1: "Not bad. This diary helped me steal all the protagonist's opportunities. I just want to get stronger." Female Lead #2: "I don’t care about reaching the peak of the cultivation world. Right now, I just want to enjoy the chaos." Female Lead #3: "What? Everyone around me is a spy? I’m the Joker Demon Lord?" ... It’s so strange. Why is the plot completely off track, yet the ending remains the same? Are you all just messing with me?!
lity and could only live as an ordinary mortal. He only wished to live a peaceful life. Yet he didn't know— The dog he adopted, because it ate his food, became a legendary demon king. The kitchen knife he casually forged became a peerless divine weapon, causing numerous experts to fight desperately for it. The young disciple he took in became an immortal lord that led an era, due to cultivating the techniques Ye Feng taught him. Even the skeletons he looked down on the most were ominous demon kings that suppressed countless worlds. Many years later, looking at the void shattered with a punch, Ye Feng murmured to himself: It turns out the peerless kings were myself all along...
ut it can buy an entire year of absolutely perfect training results! Su Yu stared at his empty wallet and decisively opened up various online loan platforms. “Borrow a thousand bucks! Recharge my vitality!” Boom! His vitality broke a hundred points, shattering the limits of the human body! “Borrow ten thousand bucks! Recharge my combat skills!” Boom! A basic punching technique so common it was everywhere instantly maxed out, revealing the ultimate assassination technique of Five Elements Unity—Inner Force! When a rich kid hired assassins for a midnight ambush, aiming to break both of his legs, they instead ran headfirst into a monster—a human-shaped tyrannosaur, brimming with dragon-like vitality. With just two fingers, Su Yu snapped a steel staff reinforced with alloy. Staring at the killer’s stash of stolen cash—a staggering quarter-million dollars—he showed a corporate-sincere smile: “Thanks for the pre-exam gift pack, Mr. Zhao! I’m gonna go re-invest this!” Three days later, at the National Martial Arts College Entrance Exam, while everyone else struggled just to reach the passing line, Su Yu threw a single punch—and more than a thousand vitality points literally detonated the entire arena!
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
