The Next Day
Online discussions about "King's Glory" were still flooding the internet.
—It's so fun, seriously so fun. I don’t even want to quit the game. This is the first time I’ve played something with such an amazing experience.
—Absolutely! The smoothness of this game is way better than that knockoff version Starlight Group released. The original is just unbeatable—no comparison to a cheap copy.
—Starlight Group, plagiarizing scum! Even a stray dog would bark at them in disgust!
—Daily reminder: Has Starlight Group gone bankrupt yet?
"King's Glory" had exploded in popularity. Walking down the street, you could constantly hear friends or couples debating which hero to play. Even coworkers would ask each other, "Have you tried King's Glory yet?"
Playing the game had become a nationwide craze overnight. Download numbers were skyrocketing, and purchases of heroes and skins were surging at an unprecedented rate.
Lei Hui looked over the performance reports his secretary had handed him and nodded in satisfaction.
"Excellent."
"After work today, the game development and marketing teams will all go out for dinner and karaoke. Let’s have a good time—tomorrow, take the day off," Lei Hui said with a smile.
The secretary grinned in response. "Understood, General Manager. I’ll make the arrangements right away."
Lei Hui’s gaze returned to the data in his hands, his excitement growing.
This was the first domestically developed game to achieve such explosive success!
In the past, very few women played mobile games, but now, a significant portion of "King’s Glory’s" player base was female.
With this game, Skyveil Group was poised to become the most profitable gaming company in the industry.
Lei Hui couldn’t help but look forward to their next project—the battle royale game.
Sometimes, he wondered just how Lin Xuan’s brain worked. How could someone casually produce hit novels, chart-topping music, and now, blockbuster game concepts?
Anything Lin Xuan touched turned to gold.
Following him had been the right decision.
Glancing at the time, Lei Hui decided it was time to start dismantling Starlight Group’s empire—piece by piece.
He wasn’t going to strike all at once.
No, he’d drag it out.
That would be far more agonizing.
Lei Hui sent out dossiers on Starlight Group’s biggest celebrity endorsers to various platforms.
Weibo, Xiaohongshu, Bilibili, Zhihu—these platforms were fierce competitors, usually at each other’s throats.
For convenience, Lei Hui had created a group chat.
Normally, the members stayed silent, only appearing when he assigned tasks.
He pasted the pre-prepared content into the chat.
[Once this goes live, push it to trending.]
The CEOs, usually swamped with work, replied instantly.
[Weibo CEO]: Lei, consider it done. Front-page trending, plus a push to all users.
[Zhihu CEO]: On it!
[Xiaohongshu CEO]: Got it. Maximum exposure guaranteed.
[Bilibili CEO]: Do you have the videos ready? If not, we’ll make them for you—top placement, no compromises.
Lei Hui smirked.
Getting all these CEOs in one group, all obediently following orders—who else but their boss could pull that off?
For show, he sent another message.
[What’s the cost for the trending spots?]
[Weibo CEO]: With our relationship? Free!
[Xiaohongshu CEO]: No charge from us either.
[Bilibili CEO]: Don’t even mention payment. Not taking a cent.
[Zhihu CEO]: Complimentary service!
Lei Hui had known they wouldn’t charge him—he’d only asked to maintain appearances.
After working with Lin Xuan for so long, he’d picked up the habit of pinching pennies. If he could avoid spending, he would.
[Lei Hui]: Then I owe you all a meal.
[Weibo CEO]: No need for that, Lei. No formalities between us.
In the group chat, they could still play nice for a while.
But if they met in person? He wasn’t sure he could stop himself from throwing hands.
Just then, a senior executive walked in to report to the Weibo CEO and accidentally glimpsed his phone screen.
Bewildered, he asked, "Chairman… are you roleplaying in a group chat?"
The CEO was getting up there in years—why was he suddenly indulging in this?
Was he trying to relive his childhood?
"Roleplaying?" The Weibo CEO frowned.
The executive pointed at his phone. "All the names in that group are platform CEOs. Isn’t this some kind of roleplay scenario?"
"Those are the actual people," the CEO replied.
"Actual people?" The executive’s eyes widened.
"Yes."
"But…" The man looked stunned. "How are you all willingly in the same group?"
And getting along, no less!
Weren’t they usually at each other’s throats?
The Weibo CEO’s expression darkened.
They hadn’t joined voluntarily.
This was all Lin Xuan’s doing.
His hacking skills were on another level—he could crash any of their platforms with a snap of his fingers.
This is an internet company, and the network is absolutely crucial to them.
If Lin Xuan were to crash their platform, their company might as well shut down.
So this little lord Lin Xuan—they had no choice but to cater to him.
When Lei Hui, under Lin Xuan's command, wanted to create a group chat, how could they dare refuse?
"Let's not discuss this matter further. Since you’ve finished reporting, you can leave for now." The CEO of Weibo dismissed the executive.
Beep.
Another notification sounded from WeChat.
The Weibo CEO picked up his phone to check—Lei Hui had sent over a pile of documents.
[Lei Hui]: These contain the schedule. Arrange the trending topics according to the specified times.
The Weibo CEO skimmed through the contents, his face filled with shock.
"This… this… this…"
He quickly exited the chat and began frantically typing on his keyboard.
[Weibo CEO]: Mr. Lei, if I may ask… where did you obtain all this?
[Lei Hui]: We acquired it through legitimate means.
The Weibo CEO: "…"
Legitimate means?
Who did they think they were fooling?
As the founder of Weibo, did they really expect him to buy such a flimsy excuse?
Even if Lei Hui refused to explain, he already knew—Lin Xuan must have dug this up using his hacking skills.
The Weibo CEO reopened the files Lei Hui had sent and couldn’t help but click his tongue in amazement.
This was ruthless. With such damning evidence stacked against them, even a company as resilient as Starlight Group wouldn’t last long.
A frown creased his brow.
If Lin Xuan could uncover Starlight Group’s secrets, he could just as easily expose his own.
No businessman had completely clean hands—there was always something to hide.
And none of it would hold up under scrutiny.
From now on, he’d have to suck up to Lin Xuan even harder.
Because if he ever crossed him, all it would take was one leaked scandal, and it would be game over.
e, Immortal Body, Transmigration, System, Progression Fantasy, Academy Setting, Third-Person Perspective. Alternate Title: Transmigrating into a High Martial World and Reading Live Comments. Bad news: I transmigrated. This is a terrifying high-martial world, and my original, pathetically weak body fell into a coma and never woke up. Good news: I got a Popularity Points system upon arrival. I can see live comments and even create an unkillable alternate identity. Starting out, the alternate identity has all stats at 1. The system tells me that to grow stronger, I must participate in the plot, gain popularity points to allocate stats and grow stronger, and ultimately awaken my original body.

agon king storylines. At the start, I obtained the "Ultimate Lackey System" - the more I act as a lackey, the stronger I become. What else could I do? I chose to become the personal henchman of the ultimate villain, Su Muwan. I provoke all sorts of chosen ones, snatch away their opportunities, and commit every evil deed imaginable. You ask who's behind me? Hmph! You're not worthy of knowing my lady's name! ...... ....... I am Su Muwan, the eldest daughter of the Su family. Since childhood, I've possessed extraordinary talent in martial arts, which led to my arrogant and domineering personality in my past life. I was even foolish enough to repeatedly challenge those favored by heaven, ultimately resulting in a tragic death. In this life, I must behave and absolutely cannot walk the same path again!! However... SLAP!! "So you're the Dragon King, huh?!" When I saw my little lackey swagger over and viciously slap the Dragon King who was hiding his identity, I felt my heart sink. Su Muwan's suspended heart finally died as she watched Qin Luo, her utterly loyal lackey, standing before her. She fainted on the spot from shock. Heaven is determined to destroy me!!
