Novel Full Chapter 443
A Successful Exit!
The writer “I Love to Eat Pumpkin Pie” Xu Liangming was most pleased to read the latest comments!
He was only in it for the money, but his income did matter to him. He was willing to sacrifice his IQ for easy, brainless cash. As a result, his stories had often come under heavy fire for good reason too, as all his female characters were basically clones
Even so, his subscriber count spoke for itself. Despite all the talk, his subscriber-base remained strong. Sometimes when the male protagonist used a very brainless way to slap his own face, the numbers even spiked up!
Now, he thoroughly understood. Those who harshly criticized his work were probably not among his regulars. They considered themselves to stand above this rabble. Reading this would be an insult to their intellect. Therefore, they reluctantly read the pirate version, convincing themselves that they were only there to see how low this book reached… Such an amazing sight!
Longkong[1] ultimately brutalized this book in reviews. The highest rating available on Yousuu[2] was 10. This book had only scored 2.8. Many Longkong users groaned, “How is this brainless book selling so well? Who the heck even reads this?”
Nobody knew how or why. It’s undeniable popularity could not be explained by plausible means —— No one could trace it to its source.
Ironically, Xu Liangming was actually fearful that his sales might suffer from this sudden burst of inspiration. Such readers were usually keen on staying braindead. If that was the case, he would definitely have to rearrange the plot
However, he was enjoying both great sales and great reviews!
Therefore he started placing his blind faith in the “intoxicated” feeling. Never did he suspect that someone behind the scenes was pulling the strings. It was the illusion of free will!
Soon, Zhao Youyue noticed that the writer had completely fallen subservient to her desires, and this had led to great effect. She was particularly pleased about such comments ——
“I’ve seen everyone talking about An Youyou and her real-life counterpart. I’m one of those who have never even heard of the real life Ah Yu, and this has led me to start looking her up, out of curiosity. Looking at how she’s been depicted in this book, I’ve instantly became a fan! Still, I’m curious. Is Lady Ah Yu in reality similarly innocent, real and unpretentious?”
“Of course! As a loyal audience of Ah Yu, I’ve followed her since the beginning. She’s just excellent at gaming, and she’s extremely upstanding. It was my first time watching an anchor who did not even bat an eye at huge donations and tips!”
“I know right, I love how she just flat out ignores Godly tycoons. It’s epic. She’s no poorer than them, if you see her streams of spamming cash for gacha in mobages. She could spend thousands in her sleep, and hundreds of thousands as a light stretch. But I do know this. She is truly unlucky at playing gachapon. She’s an African chieftan[1]!”
“African chief +1. Anyway, if she was extremely lucky, we wouldn’t have the chance to watch her spamming sprees anymore”
“I suggest that everyone just go watch Ah Yu’s live broadcast. She’s far more interesting than what you see in the book. One video would be enough. I assure you, you’ll be her fan in no time. Unfortunately, she’s now in her twelfth grade. She has been releasing all sorts of pigeons. She does not even turn the webcam on anymore.”
“She doesn’t have much of a choice. With her webcam on, nobody would be paying attention to what she’s doing. Everyone would just stare at her face (XD).”
Being picked as reference for the creation of fictional characters far from flattered Zhao Youyue. She was not against nor for it, but they had to at least do her justice, so that all parties are happy with the win-win situation. If not, it would just be like another “An Youyou.” It only brought the fire upon both parties!
The writer did just as his “intoxicated” state told him to. His work started earning positive reviews, and grew far more popular than before. Everything somehow went according to Zhao Youyue’s plan.
Such was the extent of the “Two Dimensional Gate’s” power. The writer had went according to the desires of its wielder, and now reaped the harvest. If not, things would have turned out entirely different
Now that Zhao Youyue had cleared up the misunderstandings that concerned “An Youyou,” she could now send her to her grave. What sort of “arranged death plot” would be able to cheat all the readers?
This was Zhao Youyue’s solution. Lady An Youyou was already engaged to someone. This was very much in line with some writers’ understanding about Ladies. Readers definitely thought the same. In their minds, all noble Ladies definitely had to be married to someone from a family of equal social rank. They were the victims of politically charged marriages.
Therefore, An Youyou having an engagement seemed to be a very reasonable matter. Here’s where the trouble began!
An Youyou’s fiance was undeniably a supervillain. He was the son of a famous noble family within the capital city. He was no small fry!
Of course, in such brainless stories, sons of noble families were all brainless, witless characters. They did not have the temperament befitting that of nobility
This fiance was called Ye Wudao. He was the stereotypical despicable, dirty, prurient, violent character. He was even involved in gangsterism! He was the so-called “Underground Emperor”!
“I Love to Eat Pumpkin Pie” was a veteran of creating such bland, mass-produced villains. He was a master hate-monger. He could write about the devil-incarnate and get away with it. As always, this made it even all the more satisfying to watch them getting slapped in the face!
Fiance Ye Wudao was so despicable that readers were certainly anticipating the moment the male protagonist Zeng Dawei completely demolish the marriage between Ye Wudao and An Youyou reasonably… If An Youyou tied the knot with Ye Wudao, that would be a dead-knot of hell!
Under Zhao Youyue’s careful manipulation, the “Underground Emperor” Ye Wudao soon discovered that An Youyou was trying to please a peasant in all kind of ways, by means of his many, many connections and informants. Naturally, he did not take kindly to it. He considered it the greatest form of betrayal ever!
Thinking of the moment when he once f*cked a non-virgin beauty forcefully, he fumed in rage. How could he possibly tolerate having his own fiancee please some other guy now?
Thus, the great villain, the “Underground Emperor” Ye Wudao sent a killer after the male protagonist, Zeng Dawei!
This killer was Hua Banhu. He was the “Number One Killer in Southeast Asia.” With a rifle that was as long as he was tall, he sought to have Zeng Dawei in his cross-sight!
Zeng Dawei had been completely unprepared. When Hua Banhu took his shot; it was as if An Youyou saw the sniper-caliber bullet flying at supersonic speeds. Let’s just say that her desire for death had surpassed everything!
She pushed the male protagonist out of the way, and took the bullet!
Zhao Youyue exited in relieft. What an achievement!
