I just want to sell products, but you're forcing me to perform talents.

Chapter 95 The power of a wealthy fan group is terrifying!

Now that the book has been signed for publication, I guess I can no longer talk about it in the live stream, right?

[Generally, once a contract is signed, the publisher will definitely not agree to continue releasing spoilers online!]

Does this mean we'll never hear it again?

[Isn't this going too far? Wouldn't it be so much more enjoyable to listen in the live stream?]

……

The comment section was filled with lamentations. Ye Xian didn't keep them in suspense any longer: "That's right, you're all absolutely right. Logically speaking, I shouldn't be sharing any more content from the 'Simplified Dream of the Red Chamber' in the live stream."

"but……"

The fans in the comments section were immediately intrigued.

Is there another twist?

"However, I still managed to get it done for everyone, and the live stream will continue to share it."

Ye Xian's mischievous smile immediately caused many fans of his appearance to scream, and book fans cheered in unison.

[Brother Xian, you handled this matter very well! I have nothing more to say, from now on I'll buy whatever you sell.]

[Exactly, I just want to hear Brother Xian tell stories. Who can concentrate on reading these days?]

I'm too lazy to even read ebooks anymore; I spend all my time watching short videos!

[By the way, Brother Xian, you could make a series of short videos telling stories about "Dream of the Red Chamber"!]

[So, Brother Xian, you're the author of "Dream of the Red Chamber"?]

[It's confirmed! Otherwise, how could they have so much autonomy over copyright?]

……

Ye Xian explained, "I exchanged some resources with them. In the future, I will display some of their published books in my shop, and when I talk about books, I will also recommend some that I think are good. However, I don't expect to make a lot of money from this 'Simplified Dream of the Red Chamber'."

"I believe that in this era, sharing is the best form of communication. Without sharing, we wouldn't see the sentimental Jia Baoyu, the melancholic yet sharp-tongued Lin Daiyu, or Baochai, Qing'er, Xiren..."

These beautiful people are so vivid in my mind, I don't want them to be unable to appear before everyone because of some real-world reason.

[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name: 10 ...

Fans praised him, saying that Rockets saw the opportunity and immediately followed up with compliments.

"Brother Xian's magnanimity is truly something we should learn from. If I had such a good IP, I would definitely hold onto the copyright tightly, but Brother Xian is willing to share it with everyone for free. I doubt most people could do that."

"Brother Xian, after the simplified version of Dream of the Red Chamber is published, you must save me a copy with your autograph. I want to treasure it carefully..."

[Rocket Boys' survival instincts are really strong tonight!]

I almost laughed when they were licking it like that!

[If you had such a troublesome companion, would you also fawn over them?! I suspect Aunt Qiu is already on the verge of war!]

[No need to guess, the camera just panned across her! Aunt Qiu was standing right next to the tea table, looking very serious!]

[We're doomed, Dafei's definitely going to die tonight!]

……

[You guys just fell for his tricks? He's publishing a simplified version now, but isn't there going to be a full version later? Is he just ripping off one group of people only to rip them off again? Isn't this a disgusting way to profit?]

[Mind your own business! If I like something, I'll buy it; if I don't like something, will I buy it even if you force me to?]

[I'm an 18-year-old girl, and I even bought Haizhou Laojiu! I just love buying what Brother Xian sells, so what?]

I strongly suspect that Brother Xian is the author of "Dream of the Red Chamber"!

……

The live stream moved on to the next segment, featuring a singing session with other participants. Nothing else went wrong that night, and the live stream ended just like that.

After the live stream ended, Ye Xian got up and left the rooftop.

Autumn's mother followed closely behind: "Ye Xian, Auntie made you some herbal tea to cool you down!"

Qian Duoduo picked up a broom and started cleaning up the mess on the live streaming platform: "Make way, make way!"

Ding Zhan stood by the stairs, his face dark, smoking a cigarette and looking up at the sky.

Seeing that Ding Zhan exuded an aura that kept strangers at bay, Huo Shao didn't dare to say anything. He went up to exchange a few pleasantries and then hurriedly went downstairs and left.

As for Dafei, who is he?

I don't know him!

A company?

nonexistent!

I believe in my sister Bai!

Dafei stood there awkwardly, wanting to say something, but no one paid any attention to him. This was even colder than the cold reception he had received when he went to do gigs before.

However, he was wearing sunglasses, so no one could see his expression. No matter how impolite he was, he knew he needed to say goodbye to Ye Xian's manager.

Ding Zhan exhaled a puff of smoke, looked down at Da Fei, and the look sent chills down Da Fei's spine.

"I don't care what your intentions were in sabotaging today's live stream or our collaboration with Bai Jie, but I can assure you, you'll never get ahead again in your life!"

"Even without my intervention, even without Bai Jie's intervention, and even those behind you, can't help you. Your reputation in this industry is ruined!"

"You can have your own personality, but you can't be rude! You can be happy, but you can't build your happiness on the suffering of others."

"70 late-night snacks will show you what true suffering is!"

……

That night, a short video clip on Kuaishou (a Chinese video-sharing platform) quickly went viral.

"Dafei visited Xian Ge's live stream and made a mindless provocation! He ended up getting slapped in the face!"

The short video was posted by Sun Li's account.

This time, she's prepared to personally take to the field and show everyone the fighting power of the late-night snack enthusiasts!

[Lily: Ladies, this is our first battle! Let's show everyone our power!]

[Feifei: Received, I've been itching to get started for ages!]

[Cao Yin: How dare you bully our Xian-ge! You're asking for trouble!]

[Nothing's more popular than Aunt Flo: The other side only has 38 followers, it's nothing!]

[Please call me Goddess: I'll take care of the funding!]

……

Ye Xian's fan page was completely ignited, with all the fans starting to spontaneously flood the topic even before the live stream ended.

Ye Xian's short video clips of his rap performance, along with Da Fei's line "I advise you guys not to get too carried away," immediately became a trending topic.

The comments section is full of complaints from everyone.

[This Dafei, how can he be so funny? Doesn't he even know basic manners?]

[Isn't this kind of diss a bit too low-level? Could it be a publicity stunt by the MCN? I heard Dafei is a contracted streamer with an MCN!]

[If you were the boss, would you hire such a brainless streamer?]

[Xian Ge is amazing! He improvised lyrics on the spot to retaliate, this is absolutely a textbook example of how to slap someone in the face!]

……

In just one night, the short video garnered over a million views. No one knows how many fans spent money and how much they invested in the video. All that's known is that the next day, "I advise you not to get too carried away!" and "You can sing whatever you want!" became trending phrases on Kuaishou.

"I know studying isn't your forte, so you can learn whatever you want! But I advise you not to get too carried away!"

"I know cooking isn't your forte, so you can just do whatever you want! But I advise you not to get too carried away!"

"I know dancing isn't your forte, so feel free to dance casually! But I advise you not to get too carried away!"

……

One after another, imitation videos were created. At first, it might have been the late-night snackers who started the trend, but later it became a nationwide imitation.

This incident was full of the typical "show-off and face-slapping" trope often found in novels, and it happened live in a live broadcast room, so it didn't seem scripted. As a result, many people were immediately hooked by this plot.

By the evening of the following day, Ye Xian's self-released short video clip of "Flying in the Sky" quickly garnered over 100 million views.

Sun Li's short videos have garnered over 300 million views.

The power of a wealthy fan group is terrifying!
