Since the communication failed, he hung up the phone without waiting for Zhang Shi to speak. While he was on the phone, Lin Wan Wan sent him another message.
Lin Wan Wan: “Boss, what do you do for a living?”
Lin Wan Wan: “Boss, boss, I think Mr. Zhang Shi respects you a lot. Are you some kind of big boss or some kind of big shot!”
Two minutes later, Lin Wan Wan: “Are you here, boss?”
Chen Yi had mixed feelings, but he still opened it to take a look. He couldn’t help but purse his lips and squint his eyes. “Lin Wan Wan, oh Lin Wan Wan, you flatter me too much. How can I be a bigger boss than Zhang Shi… I’m just a laborer, a poor man!”
But, what did he do? He thought about this question and suddenly felt a little lost. What did he do now? Was he a web novelist? Or an amateur doctor?
After hesitating for a while, Chen Yi decided to give up. Who cares what he did? As long as he had money!
Thinking of this, he sent a message: “Let’s not talk about it anymore. I have something else to do today. Let’s talk about it later.” It was obvious that she had been asked to leave.
Lin Wan Wan did not hesitate. “Okay, if there’s anything you need, just contact me directly. Have an early night, boss!”
“Okay…” after the conversation ended, Chen Yi lay on the bed, he muttered to himself, “Wait a minute, I just remembered something… I’ve been working my ass off writing web novels all day and I don’t have that much money. How could this woman take 50,000 dollars so easily? Why don’t I change careers? With my qualifications, I’m not inferior to this woman!”
Slap! Chen Yi slapped himself, interrupting this terrifying thought.
“I’m f*cking crazy! Thinking about doing this kind of work! Bah!”
As he thought about it, he still took out his computer and turned it on to check for messages.
He touched the ring on his hand, and in a short while, a lot of messages popped up on QQ! It was from Salted Fish!
“Since you asked this question, does it mean you can exchange for benefits already, boss?”
“Congratulations, boss! You’ve leveled up two levels in a row!”
“Where are you, boss? Are you still unconscious? I remember it’s been six hours…”
“Did something happen to you, boss?”
Looking at Salted Fish’s messages, Chen Yi felt a lot better for some reason.
He replied, “I woke up a long time ago and didn’t look at my phone much. The new exchange benefits have been received!”
Salted Fish: “Congratulations, boss! You are indeed awesome, boss! You’re practically the future godly writer of the Evil God!”
After Salted Fish’s flattering, Chen Yi was very pleased. After asking some questions about L 3, he sent a message: “Oh right, I might not be able to write a book for a while. You also know how hard I worked a while back, I want to take a break.”
Salted Fish: “Oh, oh, then you should rest well, boss! You were a little too hard-working before, my heart ached for you. It’s better to combine work and rest. Give yourself a break. Go out for a walk, travel, have a meal with a friend, or go to a KTV or a sauna… in short, your health is your most precious asset. You have to take better care of yourself, boss!”
Chen Yi: “Yes, yes, I plan to do that. I’ll take advantage of this time to rest.”
Salted Fish: “If you need anything, just contact me. If you miss me during the holidays, you can also talk to me. Sob sob sob!”
Chen Yi: “Okay, I’m a little tired today, so I’ll go to bed first. You should rest early too.”
Salted Fish: “Good night, hug emoticon~”
Chen Yi: “Good night!”
He closed the chat. On the Evil God’s homepage, he saw that he topped all the rankings for author ranking, rookie ranking, and novel ranking. Tsk, he was so powerful, he just can’t keep a low profile!
After that, he posted a notice that he was going to stop updating. Soon, many people started to comment below. They commented along the lines of “happy holidays”, “take care of yourself”, “remember to bring new works to amaze us” and so on… the readers were overly enthusiastic. After turning off the Evil God website, he had nothing to do so he began to look through QQ messages. When he saw the authors’ group from before, he clicked on it.
Although it was called the authors’ group, it was actually not that serious. The topic always deviated from writing. There were many jokes, adult content, and flirtatious people in the group. There were also godly writers from all over who ridiculed him.
Chen Yi thought about it. It seemed that he had not paid much attention to this authors’ group since he started writing on the Evil God website.
Coincidentally, the topic they were discussing now was some adult content. They would also talk about other awesome gossips from time to time.
Chen Yi dove into the screen for a while and couldn’t help but sigh, “It was still a familiar feeling!”
Everyone was as prudish as ever, as sultry as ever, and as outspoken as ever!
Chen Yi, who didn’t intend to continue lurking, typed on the keyboard: “Oh ho, kids, I’m back! What happened to you guys recently? I saw such a hot topic the moment I came here, tsk tsk!”
The Plane Flew Over The Lawn: “F*ck! Hey hey hey, is this not Pao Ye? What happened, did you have a romantic encounter recently? You didn’t even come to this chatroom lately.”
Chen Yi’s username in the group was also the most boring one, Pao Da Could Withstand It! Later on, everyone started to call him Pao Ye.
As for whether he could ‘withstand it or not’ like his username, it was also used to make fun of him.
Pao Da Could Withstand It: “Sigh, I can only think about having romantic encounters. I got into another writing block, can’t make a living anymore, so I needed to find a way out. So I can only go to the construction site to move bricks now! What about you guys? What books have you written recently?”
Lawless: “Don’t mention it. One of the two books I wrote was banned. After writing the whole book, there was only a row of ** left. It was really depressing!”
South Bank of the Spring Breeze and Green River: “Oh ho, didn’t I say that it’s been stricter recently! One of your books is full of adult content and the other is so dark and violent. How can those books not be banned?”
Lawless: “If a horror book can’t be scary, then do you want me to write? Fairy tales for children?! What kind of wicked thing is that? Two days ago, the editor told me to modify the content. A horror book that is neither violent nor bloody and can not be too scary. And at the end of the book, write something that sounds positive… tell me, how do I write it?”
Old Annuity: “Sigh, everyone is not having a good time. I got my little cousin to write something, her novel was pretty clean. It was written for the female audience. She didn’t even write about anything from the neck down…and yet two days ago, she hugged me and cried, saying that her book was reported. Apparently the reason was that she wrote an ambiguous plot… I don’t even know how to comfort her.”
South Bank of the Spring Breeze and Green River: “Indeed, they have been really strict with online novels recently. You can’t have sensitive words, and you can’t touch on adult content and violence. The godly writers’ books are fine, they would politely let them change the content, as long as there are no principled mistakes. Our books, on the other hand, are suffering. They would just directly ban it…”
Seeing everyone sigh with emotion, Chen Yi also felt helpless in the end.
“Let’s not talk about it anymore. I’ll continue working on the construction site!”
Recently, the Internet literature circle had been really difficult. It was fortunate that he didn’t have to rely on internet literature to earn a living anymore.
Thinking of this, Chen Yi was still a little happy. Unknowingly, he fell asleep with his phone in his hands.
At five o’clock the next morning, Chen Yi was woken up by the sound of a phone call. He was in a daze. When he saw that Zhang Shi called, Chen Yi immediately sat up, “Hello, what’s the matter….”
