On the day of the comic convention.
Gu Chenan had invited not only Fang Yuanyuan to the convention but also all the other female leads.
The convention was being held in one of the most bustling exhibition halls in Shanghai's downtown area.
Upon learning about the convention, fans came in endless streams to check in and collect their passes.
By the time Gu Chenan and his group arrived, the place was already packed with people.
However, since Gu Chenan was the organizer of this convention, wherever he went, the security staff would clear out a space for him, no matter how crowded it was.
"Woo-hoo!"
"Woo-hoo!"
Bai Yutian and Hoshino Kannon let out excited shouts at the scene before them.
Looking around, the entire venue was filled with huge anime posters of beautiful girls, and numerous cosplayers dressed in various character costumes, wearing elaborate makeup and striking iconic poses.
All around, countless visitors and photographers were pressing their camera shutters to capture the most authentic character moments.
Fang Yuanyuan, being a veteran anime fan, had hearts sparkling in her eyes, her face full of excitement and joy.
This was exactly the world she had dreamed of.
Liu Mingrui and Su Qianmo weren't particularly into anime culture and weren't impressed by the cosplayers, finding it merely novel.
Tang Yunjin looked completely listless, just holding onto Bai Yutian's hand and letting herself be led wherever.
A thick anime atmosphere enveloped the entire exhibition hall, with visitors and photographers wielding their cameras and flashing their lights at various cosplayers.
Gu Chenan was actually also a longtime anime fan, though he had never really shown it before.
Seeing the current scene, he too was somewhat excited.
Soon, Gu Chenan and the six female leads arrived at the center of the venue, where several famous cosplayers were present, making it the most crowded area.
It was so packed that Gu Chenan couldn't even find a place to step in to get a closer look.
Seeing this, several security guards quickly came over to create a small pathway for Gu Chenan and the six ladies.
"This way, Mr. Gu."
"This way, Miss Su and everyone."
Following the path, Gu Chenan's group finally made their way in.
But at this moment, a man in the crowd who had heard the names "Mr. Gu" and "Miss Su" suddenly turned around. When he looked, his eyes immediately contracted.
He seemed to lose his soul and stumbled.
If there hadn't been so many people around, he might have fallen right on his bottom.
Gu Chenan noticed this man's strange behavior and turned to look at him a few more times, but didn't notice anything particularly special.
In Gu Chenan's eyes, this man was just an ordinary person, so ordinary that he would blend completely into any crowd.
But for some reason, Gu Chenan felt the man seemed oddly familiar.
The man moved his shocked gaze from Gu Chenan to Su Qianmo, Liu Mingrui, Bai Yutian, Hoshino Kannon, Tang Yunjin, and Fang Yuanyuan.
After looking at each of them, his expression changed from shock to confusion, then puzzlement, and finally excitement.
He pushed his way through the crowd with all his might, practically using every ounce of strength to reach Gu Chenan and the ladies who were surrounded by security.
At close range, he examined everyone again, as if trying to confirm something.
After a while, before Gu Chenan could speak, he asked, "Ex-excuse me, are you Gu Chenan?"
Gu Chenan nodded, "Yes, that's me. Do you need something?"
Receiving confirmation, the man's excitement grew even stronger. He swallowed and looked at Su Qianmo, asking, "Is that Miss Su... Su Qianmo?"
Hearing this, Gu Chenan's brows suddenly furrowed.
"What do you want?"
"No, no, no, you misunderstand." The man quickly shook his head, and after considering for a moment said, "I-I just think you all look like people I used to know."
"People you used to know?"
Gu Chenan looked the man over suspiciously, thinking back but realizing he had never seen this person before.
Besides, Su Qianmo and the others came from the novel world - how could they have any acquaintances in this world?
This person must have some ulterior motive.
Gu Chenan narrowed his eyes and said seriously, "What exactly do you want?"
The man was somewhat frightened by Gu Chenan's demeanor and stepped back, saying, "Mr. Gu, I really don't want anything, I just wanted to confirm something."
"Really?" Gu Chenan raised an eyebrow.
"Really!"
The man nodded and continued asking, "Mr. Gu, is that person next to Miss Su called Liu Mingrui?"
"Are those two young ladies Bai Yutian and Tang Yunjin? And is the one rushing ahead called Fang Yuanyuan, and the one dressed in black called Hoshino Kannon?"
The man instantly named everyone correctly, causing Gu Chenan to stare in shock.
"Who... who exactly are you......"
The man continued, "Are you all from... Donghai?"
Hearing this, Gu Chenan was immediately alarmed. He suddenly moved closer to the man and said word by word, "Who exactly are you, what do you want?"
The man hesitated, biting his lips.
Finally, he slowly spoke.
"I... I'm a web novelist, and I recently wrote a dragon-themed novel called 'Peerless Dragon King.'"
He explained, "I just felt that your appearances and auras exactly match the characters I imagined while writing that book."
"So..."
The man looked up at Gu Chenan and said, "So are you really the characters from my novel?"
Gu Chenan was shocked.
He hadn't anticipated this at all earlier.
But when the other party revealed his identity, Gu Chenan suddenly understood.
Since "Peerless Dragon King" was a novel in the real world, naturally its author would also be in the real world.
Obviously, the man before him was that author!
Before Gu Chenan's surprise could settle, the man asked again, "So, where's Lin Yu?"
Lin Yu?
The protagonist of Peerless Dragon King?
Gu Chenan was about to answer when he suddenly raised an eyebrow.
He had been feeling that this person's mannerisms and aura were familiar, and now he finally understood why!
Damn, isn't this exactly like Lin Yu's presence?
"Wait."
Gu Chenan swallowed and asked, "What's your name?"
The man bit his lip and said, "I... I'm Lin Yu, the 'Yu' from 'universe.'"
Damn!
Isn't this just Lin Yu created in his own image?
Writing a novel where he fantasized about being a dragon king, huh?
Damn, this is really something else.
Gu Chenan shook his head helplessly and said, "Come to think of it, aren't you Lin Yu? In every sense."
Lin Yu was stunned, scratching his head embarrassedly.
"I... I'm not..."
Then he asked curiously, "So, are you really the villainous scum from my novel?"
"Uh..."
Gu Chenan was taken aback, not knowing how to explain, "Well, I am and I'm not. You could say I am, but I'm not really, but if you say I'm not, then I am... it's complicated to explain."
Lin Yu nodded and asked, "Then how did you all come to life? You're all fictional characters I created?"
Oh, this...
Gu Chenan was completely stumped.
He didn't know either.
"System, please answer this question."
