I'm a web novelist, and you want me to work in the entertainment industry?

The recording for Gangnam Station has ended.

After a hard week, Mr. Cheng took a plane back to Shanghai.

As soon as he got home and was about to update Long San, he discovered three problems.

First, more than a week has passed since Long San began serialization.

At the current stage, the Kassel College's elite trio has assembled and is about to board Principal Angers' private plane to the island nation.

Last week's plot involved Genjiro's squad carrying out a mission to assassinate Sakurai Akira.

The readers had a heated discussion about the two main characters in this passage.

The former received extremely high praise from readers:

"Wow, Amaterasu? That's pretty high-class!"

"When Genjiro shines brightly, he will illuminate the entire world!"

"Yuan Zhisheng... Ha, it's been a long time since anyone called me by that name."

Regarding the latter, readers' comments raise the first question—

"I admit you're pathetic, but that doesn't change the fact that what you did made me want to die."

"I understand the logic, but why does someone die right at the beginning of the story...?"

"@Zero, you're not going to go berserk in Dragon Three, are you?"

"After watching Ryuzo, I felt really heavy-hearted. I never expected that Genjiro, Sakura, Yasha, and Crow would all... Sigh."

Cheng Che has the right to remain silent on this matter, but everything he says will be used as evidence in court.

Secondly, his rental contract expires in a month, but he doesn't plan to renew it.

It's not that there's anything wrong with this small apartment—it's over 30 square meters, with a private bathroom, which is more than enough for a single online novelist like him.

But that was in the past.

Now that he's a man with a lot of money, it's time for him to own a Big House that truly belongs to him.

Of course, this is by no means because he got cocky after making some money.

However, he believed that his house was ultimately worlds apart from other people's houses.

Okay, there's something even more important: he thinks the security system here... well, overall it's actually pretty good.

In the guardhouse downstairs, an old man who was over sixty years old, 1.7 meters tall, with gray hair and an estimated weight of no more than 120 kilograms, was cosplaying as Zhao Zilong with an electric baton that he didn't know if it could still be electrified.

Chasing away stray cats and dogs from the neighborhood, dealing with hedgehogs and weasels trying to cross the neighborhood at night, and even a five-year-old kindergarten child from the neighboring neighborhood... none of these are major problems.

However, dealing with the large and energetic readership might still be a bit of a stretch.

Moreover, the law stipulates that sending razor blades is illegal.

Unfortunately, as of now, mango products such as dried mangoes, mango milk tea, etc., have not been included in any prohibited list by laws and regulations.

Therefore, in order to ensure his personal safety, he felt it necessary to find another place to live before the end of Dragon Three.

The third question...

Cheng Che looked at his phone wallpaper—it was a photo of them together, holding the same oil-paper umbrella, taken in an ancient town in Hangzhou.

He fell into a deep contemplation comparable to that of Chu Zihang when he asked Lu Mingfei what it felt like to like someone.

What is their relationship now?

friend?

Hmm...would you sing love songs to your friend of the opposite sex and take a photo together with your shoulder to shoulder?

Couple?

Well...neither of them has formally confessed their feelings, so it's obviously not true.

Thus, Cheng Che surprisingly came to a somewhat "scummy" conclusion—

He and Tian Xiwei are currently "more than friends, but not quite lovers".

This won't do; a formal confession is still necessary...

Cheng Che was deep in thought when a new window popped up on his phone.

King Oda: I'm home.

Xiao Tian Da Wang: I was just browsing Weibo and saw someone criticizing you on Weibo.

Criticizing me again?

Cheng Che scratched his nose, realizing that he had actually discovered four problems.

Fourth, as the saying goes, "the more famous you are, the more trouble you attract."

As the author of the online novel "Dragon Raja," which is also known as the "world's number one fan circle," Zero's popularity in the literary circle has been severely lacking in recent months.

It is also said that scholars often belittle each other.

Although scholars have always valued detachment from fame and fortune, most scholars throughout history have pursued fame and fortune, and many are petty and cannot bear to see other scholars living better than themselves.

As a result, recently, some "literary experts" have been criticizing him online from time to time.

Of course, there are no real authorities among them; most are obscure, third-rate writers or "authoritative" critics who are always trying to piggyback on this or that.

Cheng Che couldn't be bothered to pay attention—he felt that these "experts" were essentially masochists, and the more you paid attention to them, the more excited they became.

Therefore, the best way to deal with them is through passive-aggressive tactics—ignore, don't reply, and don't pay attention. Over time, they will realize they can't get any traffic from them and will naturally stop.

A few days ago, a person claiming to be a "well-known writer" and "well-known critic" posted a Weibo post criticizing Cheng Che.

Recently, there's been a very famous author called "Zero".

He was initially very interested, thinking it was some promising new generation writer, so he excitedly went to learn more about it, but was ultimately greatly disappointed.

Because he discovered that this "Zero" was nothing more than a petty thief who wrote online novels, utterly devoid of any literary integrity, and only knew how to use underhanded tricks to market himself.

Readers on the Chinese website, drawn by the information, flocked to his comment section and began arguing with him.

As a result, the other party didn't respond at all and just focused on criticizing Cheng Che. The more readers criticized him, the more excited and energetic he became in his criticism.

Cheng Che thought about it for a while and then posted a separate chapter on the Chinese website:

"Regarding the various comments about me online recently, I hope that all readers will not pay too much attention to them."

"If you really can't stand it, just say 'Oh yes, yes, yes' when you see it."

To be fair, although readers complained about his slow updates every day, at least until Long San was finished, they still listened to Cheng Che.

Thus, the style of Weibo gradually evolved into this—

Literary expert: Zero is an opportunist, his mind is full of the cunning and scheming of a merchant, he has no integrity as a scholar and is not worthy of being called a refined person!

Readers: Ah, yes, yes, yes!

Literary expert: This guy, Zero, has single-handedly corrupted the literary atmosphere, yet he has countless followers, with people flocking to him like fish crossing a river. This is a tragedy of the times, a tragedy of literature!

Readers: Ah, yes, yes, yes!

Literary expert: This guy, Zero, is immoral and disgraceful; his actions are an insult to literature.

Readers: Ah, yes, yes, yes!

Literary expert: Don't you have any other words?!

Readers: Ah, yes, yes, yes!

Later, the expert broke down.

Literature expert: I'm speechless!

Readers: Ah, yes, yes, yes!
