Chapter 12 I'm determined to avenge you.
With over 800,000 yuan in generous donations, all the criticisms seemed utterly insignificant.
The fans of "Covering the Sky" immediately fell silent, unable to stand up straight under the crushing weight of the other party's terrifying financial power.
For a time, fans of "Covering the Sky" were at a disadvantage, and the entire comment section was filled with curses from fans of "Catastrophe: Necromancer".
As the situation escalated, the official team had no choice but to temporarily lock the comment section of "Covering the Sky".
The ultimate winner of this war of words was "The Scourge: Necromancer".
The comment section of "Covering the Sky" was locked. The only big fan of "Covering the Sky", Yun Shen Bu Zhi Chu, disappeared without a trace after receiving more than 800,000 yuan in generous donations.
After returning home, Xu An maintained a regular schedule, going to bed promptly at 11 p.m.
So he didn't receive the news until the next morning, and it came from his editor, Guan Hai.
If the comment section for "Covering the Sky" hadn't been locked, it would have been completely flooded with comments.
Moreover, today's Sky Forum is full of talk about what happened last night.
It has to be said that as a veteran celebrity, "Cang Hai Nan Wei Shui" has a very high-quality fanbase.
After learning the details of what happened last night, Xu An's expression turned somewhat grim.
It wasn't because of the comments section being flooded with negative comments, but because his fan group, Cloud Recesses, was slapped in the face by the big-name fans of "Cataclysm: Necromancer".
Xu An could compete for nothing; he believed that with the quality of the book "Covering the Sky," it would definitely become a hit.
But Yun Shen didn't know that he had given more than 200,000 yuan in rewards. He and Xu An were not related, and he was even slapped in the face by those big fans because he was trying to help Xu An get revenge.
Xu An had to acknowledge this relationship, regardless of the reason.
In the new chapter he posted today, he asked for contact information for Cloud Recesses in the author's notes.
At the same time, he asked the editor, Guan Hai, if he could get the contact information for "沧海难为水".
Guan Hai didn't know why Xu An wanted the contact information for "Cang Hai Nan Wei Shui" (a phrase from a Chinese folk song), but still offered a few words of advice.
Let's wait until the development department cleans up the data first.
Xu An agreed.
After Guan Hai obtained Cang Hai's contact information, he sent it to Xu An and said a few more words, telling him to stay calm for now.
Xu An agreed to all of them and added Canghai Nanwei Shui on WeChat.
At noon, the other party agreed.
Xu An got straight to the point.
[Hello, Canghai, I am Zhuifeng Shaonian, the author of "Covering the Sky". I believe you are already aware of what happened between our respective fan groups. The whole incident originated from some malicious individuals stirring up trouble.]
[I've already told my fans that there won't be any more trouble. Please tell your fans to calm down; there's no need to waste public resources and let the situation escalate because of the malicious actions of a few people.]
[Furthermore, I didn't manipulate the data, and I don't care about the new book rankings at all. The official authorities will definitely investigate and release their conclusions when the time is right.]
The vast ocean is no match for the flowing waters that carry news back.
First, I need to clarify one point: I did not incite my fans to attack you. Second, I did not accuse you of manipulating data. Finally, I was completely unaware of the entire incident. Those who know me well know that I rarely follow outside events while writing my book.
Upon hearing his reply, Xu An's face darkened.
Isn't this just a blatant excuse of not refusing and not taking responsibility?
Xu An took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart.
[Dear Canghai, could you please tell your fans that there's no need to continue attacking me, and the fans who are attacking me?]
The vast ocean is no match for a mere stream: [I have no obligation to do that. I'm not their father, they might not listen to what I say, and I have no right to demand anything of them. As for the attack you mentioned, I'm not aware of that.]
Upon seeing this.
Xu An knew there was no need to continue talking to him.
I closed the chat window directly.
Arrogance—that's the feeling he gave Xu An.
"Damn it, what an old codger who's just taking advantage of his age," Xu An couldn't help but curse.
As expected, the characters in the book do not represent the author himself. This guy, Canghai Nanwei Shui, relying on his status as a veteran author and his large following of die-hard fans and influential followers, completely disregarded Xu An.
The conversation between the two was unequal from the start, or rather, Cang Hai Tiao Tiao (a famous Chinese writer) simply didn't take Xu An seriously.
Unable to control the other party's fans, Xu An could only control his own.
He published two more chapters.
They all said a lot at the end of the chapters.
The idea is to let everyone enjoy reading without worrying about what's happening in the outside world, and without having to argue with a bunch of idiots.
Winning an argument doesn't make you seem smart, but losing an argument makes you seem even less intelligent than a fool.
After seeing the message at the end of Xu An's chapter, Cloud Recesses took the initiative to contact Xu An.
The two successfully exchanged contact information.
Xu An spoke up.
Hello, Cloud Recesses, I am the author of "Covering the Sky". Thank you very much for your donation and support. I specifically asked for your contact information to apologize for the humiliation you suffered because of me.
I'll definitely avenge you. I'm confident this book will become a huge hit and will absolutely crush "Cataclysm: The Necromancer."
Cloud Recesses: [It's alright, you go ahead and write your book. I'll handle this myself. I've never been treated like this before.]
It was clear that the other party was very angry.
Startled, Xu An quickly tried to dissuade him.
No, no, no, there's no need to argue with those people. Keep this real money for yourself; there's no need to tip me. It's not worth it.
Cloud Recesses: [It's nothing, just over 800,000. If something hadn't happened recently, I would have definitely sent it back last night!]
Xu An: [I don't know if you're older or I'm older, but I'll call you brother anyway. Take my advice, don't hold a grudge. I'm telling you this sincerely, please don't give me any tips. I really can't afford such large sums. Keep them for yourself.]
Xu An: [Believe me, my book will absolutely crush "Cataclysm: The Necromancer." We'll see the difference as soon as it's released. Its sales performance will help you get revenge.]
It's unclear whether Cloud Recesses has calmed down or has been persuaded by Xu An.
He finally replied: "Okay, whatever you say."
The chat ended.
Xu An opened the new book list of Endpoint Novels.
The top spot is occupied by "Cataclysm: The Necromancer", while the second spot is occupied by "Covering the Sky".
Now the roles have reversed, with "Cataclysm: Necromancer" firmly dominating "Covering the Sky," presenting a crushing defeat.
The more than 800,000 yuan in donations last night has driven his popularity level extremely high.
Staring blankly at the new book list, Xu An was lost in thought.
Looking at the current word count, Xu An secretly made a calculation in his mind.
He was determined to avenge Yun Shen Bu Zhi Chu!
