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

The next day, in the morning.

"I'm leaving now, take care."

Take care of yourself too.

"goodbye."

"Will we meet again, Xiaotian? When we meet again, you must be happy, you must be blessed, okay? You must be happy, you must be blessed!" Cheng Che looked at Xiaotian, who had already gotten into the car, with a reluctant expression.

"...What terrible lines." Tian Xiwei sat in the back seat of the car, scratching her head.

"It's mainly about feeling the right atmosphere," Cheng Che said.

Yes, after just a few days together, Tian Xiwei has to go back to work.

Tian Xiwei rolled her eyes: "I'm leaving, bye-bye."

"Bye-bye." Cheng Che said, tears streaming down his face.

According to Tian Xiwei, she is estimated to be away for about a month before she can return—in fact, she was able to come back these past few days because she secretly took leave.

This means that Cheng Che will likely be unable to be intimate with Xiao Tian for the next month.

In such a sorrowful moment, how could one not be sad!

After waving goodbye, Cheng Che returned home, and the lonely old Cheng went online again.

After quickly tidying up his things, Cheng Che prepared to start working.

He was really looking forward to writing in the next few days—for no other reason than that our Kassel trio, in order to escape the pursuit of the Snake Clan, came to a host club called "Takamagahara"!

Although the dragon-slaying world has temporarily lost three abstract dragon-slaying warriors, three rising stars are about to emerge in the world of male escorts!

Change today's title in the live stream to—

"Fun fact: The cost of cosplaying Chu Zihang in the main package is very low. All you need to do is wash your face and wear gold contact lenses."

Cheng Che then started a live stream.

Viewers and their comments flooded the live stream. Cheng Che glanced at it and noticed that the comments were quite varied today.

Seeing this, he didn't rush to type anything, but prepared to carefully check what was going on in the comments first.

[Just arrived. Is the main editor the legendary, officially designated emperor of the online novel world, and also—that spineless author who got stopped by security at the company because nobody knew him?]

It's a password!

Cheng Che's face immediately darkened—Tian Xiwei had just seen the edited video posted on the Chinese website this morning when he and Tian Xiwei were having breakfast.

And they immediately launched into a tirade of ridicule.

Damn Chinese websites!

Editing my videos without permission? Get ready to receive my lawyer's letter!

"Is Xiaotang in the live stream?" he asked expressionlessly. "Kick this lovely viewer out of the live stream."

The live chat erupted with comments like "They're getting anxious!"

Cheng Che selectively ignored them and continued to watch the comments.

[Look at the kitten, look at the kitten, look at the kitten! Who wants to watch your stinky man's livestream? Hurry up and bring your kitten over so we can see it.]

Upon seeing this comment, Cheng Che was overcome with sorrow—the kitten had already become a monk (becoming a monk means leaving home), leaving him all alone at home.

"If you can't see it, move on to the next one," he said menacingly.

【666, how come you have a different title for every live stream every day? You're getting more and more outrageous... And I can't really argue with that, Chu Zihang, you didn't just copy your own words, did you (wanting a signed copy of Long San's book)?】

Cheng Che immediately felt relieved.

"Chu Zihang didn't write it based on my own writing," he patiently explained, "but you, my viewer, have excellent taste!"

"You want a signed copy of Ryuzo's book, right? Isn't that a little too little?"

"Come on, send a private message to Xiaotang, and I'll send you a complete set of signed physical copies of 'Dragon Raja'."

[What is Zero's opinion on the fact that "Scholar Wenyuan" from the LaoBeng family posted another article criticizing you early this morning?]

"I looked with my eyes... no, I didn't actually look at all." Cheng Che changed his words halfway through.

He was familiar with the title "Scholar Wenyuan"—wasn't that the "expert" whose defenses had been broken by the "Ah yes, yes, yes" comments from his fellow readers?

It's been months, why is this person still clinging to me?

If you applied that same tenacity you have for me to other things, you would succeed at anything.

"Anyway, it's the same as always." Cheng Che thought for a moment and decided to mention it again, "Don't take this too seriously. If you really can't stand it, just say 'Oh, right, right'."

"Hmm... maybe sometimes 'Ah, right, right' can't handle all situations."

Cheng Che realized this and became serious.

"Then I will now impart to you the true secrets of online laning..."

……

……

Noon, lunch break.

While having lunch, Cheng Che opened Weibo, ready to see the latest critique from that "Scholar Wenyuan".

He was quite curious about what the other person had criticized him for this time.

It's perfect as a side dish.

@Scholar Wenyuan:

"Recently, a truly bizarre phenomenon has emerged on the internet, and the instigator of this story is none other than our 'old friend' Zero—a young author who started with online novels and rose to fame through variety shows."

This young author, instead of focusing on polishing his writing, recently started live streaming and even openly invited readers to send him money in the live stream, which is utterly absurd.

His every word reeks of money; it's truly pathetic and lamentable...

Cheng Che scratched his head, thinking this episode was amazing.

How can making a joke be used as an excuse for criticism?

Besides, even if it wasn't a joke, it was a consensual transaction, and he didn't force anyone. It's not your place, as a "complete bystander," to comment...

There were hundreds more words following, but Cheng Che didn't read them.

Since things have come to this, let's take a look at the comments section.

I couldn't hold back from the very first line—

"Old Deng, are you out of your mind because you're broke? If you really are, tell Zero. Although we guys usually scold him every day, he's actually quite generous. He often gives away lucky bags in the live stream, sometimes worth thousands or tens of thousands of yuan."

As long as you truly explain your difficulties, I believe Master Ling won't hold it against you!

Below this comment, there is a reply from "Scholar Wenyuan":

"The atmosphere in the live streaming community is already terrible. Lucky bags are just a way to attract traffic. We can't even confirm whether anyone actually received one. But even if someone did receive one, what does that prove? It's nothing more than a trick to gain fame."

After receiving the reply, the book lover initially tried to argue with the other party, but the other party was unmoved and insisted that Cheng Che was someone who would only do things for personal gain and was corrupting the literary circle.

The readers were at a loss and started saying, "Ah, right, right, right."

But perhaps because he's been "right" so many times, "Scholar Wenyuan" has learned his lesson this time and has developed a new way to deal with "Ah, right, right, right".

That is to use the methods of intellectuals to subtly launch personal attacks.

For a moment, it really stumped the book lovers—it's like you're arguing with someone online, and they insult you with a word that starts with the letters 's' and 'b'. You can't just say "Oh, right, right, right," can you?

It's not that I can't say something, but ultimately it still feels a bit frustrating.

Fortunately, the readers quickly remembered the Burning Technique that Cheng Che had taught them, which was—

"A rebound!"
