In the real world, Damian is a socially awkward and a boy of few words.

Video games were his escape from the real world to let himself free — until 'The Incident' of Steampunkers Online. In this synthetic world, Damian, now Wulfsige, must learn who he is and his potential; he must escape Steampunkers Online, but the truth may be darker than it appeared.

The famed, the gloried, the unknown. David has one goal in his short life. To do whatever he felt like all the way to his death bed. The first space VRMMO RPG was released and coined Galaxy online. His thirst for games quenched and tempered by his full immersion led to him experiencing pain, and sacrifice all the way to the top echelon of the game. When asked why he was motivated he had two words to tell. “Just Cause,”.

Note: I edit chapters multiple times.


The Wang Haige Forum had a literature section, which was divided into two subsections: discussions on paper books and online publications. Zhang Zian didn't usually visit these two sections. But today he was lying in the reclining chair, browsing the forum on his phone. 
As he clicked the online publication discussion area, a post attracted his attention.　　
[Seven Kill]: I'm a new author. Questions for you: how many more "favorites" should I gain per chapter to be considered acceptable?
There were all kinds of answers below the post. Some of them were joking, some were serious.　
[Old City]: It depends on the website. I'm writing a fantasy on Qidian. I got 20 more favorites on the first day the book was cleared for publication, then 11 on the second day, and 20 more favorites each day after Day 3. So far I wrote 28,000 words, and had 140 favorites. 
[Academy]: Impressive! Let us know the book name!
[Fan Wujiu]: I think you are here to show off.
[Tian Haoyu]: You get favorites with so few words? Is this a scam? Why did I only get 40 favorites after writing 50,000 words?
Zhang Zian was more confused after reading this. Was this the difference between the big names and small names? But some are not doing so well. Pi just wrote 2000 words, so it should get at least 40 favorites by 50,000 words, shouldn't it? At least, it would not be the worst.　　
Some statistic nerds talked about the fundamentals below the post.　　
[Akmond]: Qidian is the biggest website of the business, and it's a hard for newbies to get ahead. Today is my day off, and I have nothing else to do. So let me spend time to tell you how hard it is to be a writer at Qidian. I just checked the Qidian Library. Only counting new books under 300,000 words, there are 18,000 of them that were updated in 3 days! Only 2000 of them had a signed contract. The odds of getting a contract is 1/9. 
[Seven Kill]: This hard? This makes my newbie heart as cold as ice...
[Akmond]: Hard? No, this is only the beginning. After signing a contract, Qidian starts promoting your book to let more people read it. But is signing a contract enough? Not at all. After that, your book will be on the promotion list along with other new books. There are about 5-6 rounds of promotion for new books, and in each round, only 4 books out of 10 will qualify for the next promotion. Only 0.4% of all books can defeat the others and make it to the Power Ranking list. 2000 times 0.004 equals 8, which means, among the 18,000 books, only 8 of them can rise above all and be released on the shelf. While the remaining 99.99% of books are left in the ocean of books without readers.  
[Youth of Wind]: As a newbie who has not published yet, I'm so discouraged!
[Akmond]: Hehe, paid lease is only the beginning. You must have 3000 readers willing to pay for your book, then your book can enter the Power Ranking. Do you know the percentage of that? Only 3 or 4 books among the 8 can enter the Power Ranking! 
[Akmond]: Now let's sum up. If you just published a book, here is your future: if you aim at getting a contract, then your chance is 1/9; if your goal is the Power Ranking, your chance is 1/2250; if you want your novel to be tagged as Recommended and be remembered forever by Qidian, then your odds are 1/5000. When you write at Qidian, you have 1/5000 chance to be the numerator, and 4999/5000 chance to be the denominator! A general builds his success on ten thousand bleaching bones. This is an appropriate description! 
Some people expressed their doubt below the post.　　
[Smile]: Are there that many? 18,000 people entering the online writing business at the same time?
[Akmond]: Of course, you'll be surprised. According to official statistics, there are 1.4 billion people, and there are 60 million online writing! 60 million! Crowds and crowds of people are entering the online writing business. You have a better chance to succeed by being an extra in Binhai Studio, being picked by a director passing and make you the next Wang Baoqiang... You may get injured by being an extra on set. Online writing is much easier, and all you need to do is be literate and able to type. But 99.99% of people end up being the denominator. 
Despite this [Akmond] was telling the brutal truth, the crowd of people who replied to the post were shocked at the statistics and cried out in despair. [Akmond] also gained a "Pro" title for his knowledge in the online writing industry. He quickly added that he was also one of the denominators, except that he failed enough times to know how to fail with swagger...　　
Zhang Zian wanted to correct him. It was not 18,000 people, but 17,999 people plus 1 monkey. But he didn't do it, as he was not in the mood to ridicule.　　
He remembered the days of bringing Famous to Binhai Studio for movies. Each day he saw many people wearing green military coats gather at the entrance of the studio and surround every production team that entered and exited, being picked and chosen like truckloads of cheap cabbage. Those chosen by production teams were happy to make a daily salary of 50 Yuan, while those who weren't picked were disappointed, and left 

like an ebbing tide, shivering in the cold wind, waiting for the next production team to arrive.　　
Back then he was thinking that it was so hard to be an extra on the set. They persevered with their movie star dreams, hoping to be the next Wang Baoqiang. But compared to them, [Akmond] seemed right, that online writers also walked the same difficult path of fierce competition, fighting hard to be the few numerators. 　 
There was a lot going on with the online writing section of Wang Haige Forum. There were a lot of posts, and it seemed that there were posts and replies every minute. Apart from the posts that discussed online writing as the one above, some posts were comments on certain novels, either good or bad. There was something strange going on: if someone posted negative comments, then the following posts were all of similar negative comments with very few exceptions. But if the post was positive, then there would be replies questioning if the author of the post was part of the paid Internet Water Army, or disguising him/herself as an ordinary reader to recommend his/her own work. 
Internet Water Army was a phrase that Zhang Zian once heard from Zhao Qi. Each time Zhao Qi visited the pet shop to buy imported cat food, she asked for a discount for doing him a favor, claiming that if she didn't help him fight the water army hired by Stars supermarket in Wang Haige Forum, his pet shop would have been out of business. He had always doubted this matter. Were there really internet water armies lurking in the Forum?　　
But these had nothing to do with him for now, nor with Pi. He decided to get Pi started with a small goal, which was getting a contract with the website and becoming the 1/9. Others could be done after. According to the posts, if they got a contract, the website would promote their work, and make the novel visible to more readers.　 
But how could they get a contract?　　



1. Download a suspicious game
2. Catch a few magical pets as partners
3. Go through interesting daily routines and lead the pet shop to a whole new level

As Alex turned towards the huge enraged man, he could see a prompt.
[2 minutes]
'Ah shit. Only 2 minutes? I'll need to be quick to defeat this guy. If not, I'll just be dead meat.'
Alex said as he ran head on towards the man. He could guess that his current strength was similar to the man's. But this main reason to attack now was as this might be his only chance at defeating him.
Alex had a plan.
He rushed to the man's head one; the man did the same.
*BOOM!*
The two punched, hitting each other's fists.
Both were blown back by the force, but Alex managed to get up as soon as he fell.
"ARG!!!!!!" The man screamed in pain. It seemed like they fell on his back, which caused the dagger to sink in deeper into his back, hurting him even more.
Alex knew that this was the perfect moment, one quick attack to the man's jaw and he would be unconscious.
"Let's end this here!" Alex roared as he once again ran straight towards the man.
The controlled man couldn't move, his legs were shaking, blood drenched his body. He could do nothing but await his fate.
*Bang!*
A swift kick to the jaw.
It was clean and precise, the enhances speed and strength by the Might was just amazing.
'Is he unconscious?' Alex said as he watched the man's body slide across the ground by the force of his kick.
Alex quickly hurried to the body. He needed to take his dagger as well as check if the man was unconscious or not.
[Player out of combat]
'After hearing these words, Alex felt relieved. He knew that this meant the man was unable to fight him anymore.'
Alex walked to the man's body, a small dagger had penetrated the man's back very deep. It was close to the spinal cord, which meant that some important arteries and veins were cut. If the man didn't get help soon, he would die from bleeding.
'It looks like I can't take my knife out, it's the only thing preventing him from bleeding even more.' Alex said as he looked at the dagger. But as soon as Alex saw blood, another thought came into his mind.
'Wait, the girl!' Alex quickly ran towards the girl and checked her pulse.
*BOOM!* but before he could, the doors behind him flew by sheer force. Someone had forcefully opened it.
"Alex! Are you okay?" A familiar voice entered Alex's
[EXP gained]
Alex ignore the prompt of him gaining expansion, looked towards the source of the sound. As soon as the doors opened, a woman ran inside, a gun in her hands.
"I'm fine. This person seemed to be under some influence or mind control. At first he sounded human but then he started to say things like, 'I'll kill you human!' or 'Foolish human'… He didn't speak like he was a human himself. But it doesn't matter, you can question him yourself. I didn't kill him, I just hurt him. A lot." Alex answered to Hana. He then looked towards the girl and said, "Save this girl first! Her pulse felt so weak, and she has lost a lot of blood…"
Hana shook her head, "You might have already guessed, but this was a test, just gone completely wrong… We don't know what happened so you will be questioned. I can't do anything about that. I will do the questioning myself so you don't need to be worried about harsh treatment. For now, just follow me." Hana looked towards Alex with a serious expression.
Alex nodded, but then looked towards the man, more specifically the dagger in his back. "My weapon is lodged into the man's back. I didn't remove it as it could cause more damage and might have been the fatal blow and killed him. Will I get it back?" Alex had no other weapon, plus the skill he acquired from the reapers required him to have their Dagger. He didn't want to lose it.
Hana looked towards Alex with a hint of surprise, "I'm surprised that you defeated Rhino. If you have that much power, that means you could be useful to us. So we will give you your weapon back, don't worry. But it might be examined before. I don't know. My mind is just currently filled with many, many questions. All of them are about you, Alex. This situation is very confusing." Hana said as she waited for Alex.
"Now, hurry up. The soldiers will clean up the place and keep Rhino locked up. He will then be interrogated, but you don't need to know all the details."
Hana looked outside and said in a louder voice, " It's clear. Rhino has been dealt with, no casualties. Suspicion of Reapers being involved in this. I will take Alex_01 for questioning on what happened."
Alex looked outside and was surprised to see a lot of military outside, standing ready. Hana seemed to have a lot of influence over them.
"MAAM! I disagree." Another familiar voice yelled.
"Captain, I know you well enough by now. But do remember that I am your superior as well as the head of investigation. I have all the rights to call the shots here. Last time you did the same by trying to refute my words on taking this one to the facility myself. I ignored it. But this time, I will remember your actions. Speaking of remembering things, Do you remember my powers after I awakened? Or is your refutal for another reason?" Hana replied in a stern and angry tone. She seemed to dislike how the man spoke to her.
"Uh. No ma'am! I apologise for doubting Maam's powers. This will not happen again." The man quickly apologised by bowing down. Alex was just surprised to see his actions. He was even more surprised by Hana's words. 'What is her power? I don't even know yet… To be someone who is in charge of investigations… she must some special powers…' Alex said to himself as he looked towards the woman's back.
"Go and do your jobs. Call in more medics as well. Rhino is hurt." Hana said in an annoyed tone as she walked outside. Alex quietly followed behind.
As Alex followed, he could see that the facility was under some kind of lockdown. The windows were covered, blocked by iron curtains. Letting no light enter or escape. There were helicopters in the air. Military personnel with weapons had their aim on Alex the entire time he followed Hana.
'It seems like they still don't trust me. The only reason they didn't use force on me must be because I'm with Hana.' Alex took a deep breath of relief. He couldn't imagine how the military would have taken him if Hana wasn't there, especially after he saw how the captain was still glaring at him.
'What did I do to him anyway?' Alex questioned by the captain disliked him so much. It seemed dumb that he would just glare at him like Alex was some type of criminal.
"Don't worry about him. That damn captain is only acting like that because of the past. He can't seem to let go of what happened. It's partially my fault that your getting glared at like that, but It's okay. If you were able to take down Rhino, you will be important to us. I will explain more than we travel to the questioning faculty. But once we enter there, you will be the one that will do the explaining, not me so be completely truthful, I have my ways to know lies." Hana opened the door of the car and smiled towards Alex.
It was the first time Alex saw Hana smile that way. He could help but replay the memory of her smiling in his mind. 'How can a woman be this beautiful?'
"Are you going to enter the car or just continue staring at me?" Hana said as he pointed to a seat.
Alex laughed awkwardly and quickly entered the car.
Hana just shook her head and entered the car after Alex, "Men will always be like that."
Alex just smiled and waited.
"Okay, I guess you already had a hunch that it was a test, right?" Hana asked.
"Uh, I did guess that it was a test. Everything seemed too conveniently placed. How could people not think that it was a test?" Alex said as he remembered the situation. It was all too perfect: Dark lights, a heavily injured person and a big bad guy.
Hana nodded, "It was indeed a test, a cliche one, but cliches are used for a reason. They work."
Alex agreed with Hana, cliches work.
"But if it was a test, then why do you need to question me on what happened. Weren't you all watching on video? It would be dumb to make the test but not have anyway to watch the test while it goes on, right?" Alex asked Hana.
"You are correct. We did have cameras hidden all over the room, but all of them were jammed. As soon as we found out, we tried to open the doors to find out what happened, but everything was locked. We could have come to save you as soon as we realised something was off, but it seems like you didn't need it."

★ What is this site about?
It's about learning a new habit: Writing. Every. Day.
I've long been inspired by an idea I first learned about in The Artist's Way called morning pages. Morning pages are three pages of writing done every day, typically encouraged to be in "long hand", typically done in the morning, that can be about anything and everything that comes into your head. It's about getting it all out of your head, and is not supposed to be edited or censored in any way. The idea is that if you can get in the habit of writing three pages a day, that it will help clear your mind and get the ideas flowing for the rest of the day. Unlike many of the other exercises in that book, I found that this one actually worked and was really really useful.
I've used the exercise as a great way to think out loud without having to worry about half-formed ideas, random tangents, private stuff, and all the other things in our heads that we often filter out before ever voicing them or writing about them. It's a daily brain dump. Over time, I've found that it's also very helpful as a tool to get thoughts going that have become stuck, or to help get to the bottom of a rotten mood.
750 Words is the online, future-ified, fun-ified translation of this exercise. Here's how it works:
★ All online and private
In the past, looking for a spare notebook was probably easier than looking for a computer. Not anymore. I don't know if my hands even work anymore with pen and paper for any task that takes longer than signing a check or credit card receipt.
★ It's not blogging or status updating
I've tried writing my 750 words a day on Livejournal, Wordpress, PBWorks, Tumblr, and all of these other sites designed around putting content online. It hasn't worked for me. I fear that I might accidentally forget to mark daily pages as private. And it's just weird having my private brain dumps out on various sites that are designed to be more social. I don't need to title my entries, or tag them, or enable comments, or any of that other stuff. This is writing, and it's online, but it's not blogging, or Twittering, or Facebook status updating. This is between you and you.
★ 3 Pages = 750 words
I looked this up. 250 words per page is considered to be the standard accepted number of words per page. So, three standard pages are about 750 words. Of course if 750words.com hadn't been available, I would've totally found a way to prove that 249 words per page was the accepted standard. It really just comes down to the fact that this amount of writing feels about right. You can't just fart out 3 pages without running into your subconscious a little bit... 750 words takes a bit of effort, and it never fails to get me typing thin

And that's the point.
Because 750 words is nothing to sneeze at, it's also nice to have an easy way to know how many words you have to go. This site of course tracks your word count at all times and lets you know when you've passed the blessed 750 mark. And it gives you a nice big screen to write on, automatically scrolls as you write (like a typewriter), and automatically saves your writing as you go.
★ It's fun
Every month you get a clean slate. If you write anything at all, you get 1 point. If you write 750 words or more, you get 2 points. If you write two, three or more days in a row, you get even more points. It's fun to try to stay on streaks and the points are a way to play around with that. You can also see how others are doing points-wise if you're at all competitive that way. How I see it, points can motivate early on, and eventually the joy of writing will kick in and you'll be writing without any external motivation at all.

Alex, a 20-year-old guy was a born loser.
In a world filled with superheroes, he had to live a horrible life. But this all changed when he was approached for an opportunity, something too good to deny.
A simple and easy scouting mission. After it was done, they would give him a huge reward. But the mission wasn't what Alex expected, it was a blur and the next thing he knew, there was a voice in his head, [Does player Alex want to continue?]





LINK FOR MY DISCORD : https://discord.gg/mNfHWC2

'I felt like I was completely immersed in my role! It's as if I really was the female employee who was heartlessly abandoned by the company, I've forgotten who I really was. All of my expressions and actions were not deliberately handled, it was done so naturally and smoothly.'
Han Yi looked at Su Yang, who was standing not too far away with his arms crossed in front of his chest. He was smiling at her and there was a strange glint in his eyes…
The bearded director came back to his senses and shouted, "Continue, next scene."
He wanted to see if Han Yi merely had a sudden flash of inspiration or if she had really found it.
However, Han Yi did not disappoint Su Yang after that and had successfully completed all her scenes. Although her performance was not as good as the first scene, she was still outstanding.
She was naturally talented, but she did not know the method and could not find the right feeling previously. However, ever since Su Yang told her the method and allowed her to find the right feelings, she immediately understood everything and had an epiphany…
Everyone could see the changes in her. They could not help but change their opinion of her and Su Yang.
"Han Yi's boss is really amazing. I only took him five minutes to talk to her and she already knows how to act."
"It looks like Han Yi has made the right decision to change to this agency."
"Of course it's the right choice. If your boss is your fan, he will love and care for you. He has resources in the industry and he can even give you career guidance. Wouldn't you be moved?"
"Of course I would be moved! Plus, her boss is really highly competent. I've never heard of him before though."
"Who knows? Anyway, I'm optimistic about Han Yi now. Perhaps she can really improve."
Sometimes, things were just that simple. When it came to the same thing, if you did not show your ability, everyone would see you as a failure, but once you showed your ability, the tables would turn.
Seeing that Han Yi had finished two scenes, Su Yang was relieved and went to the washroom.
When he arrived inside the washroom, Su Yang took out the [Emotion Storage Card] and took a look. There was only a [Neutral] and a [Happiness] coin left in the [Emotional Storage Card].
'It seems like the other coins in the bucket have disappeared after I took out [Anger].
'However, it was worth it, at least Han Yi was able to improve exponentially.
'It's not that easy to move from a small screen to a big screen. Some actors would not be able to change their genre until they finally realized the secrets within.'
After checking the [Emotional Storage Card], Su Yang returned to the set. Han Yi's cameo appearance had been completed and she was thanking the various departments on the set. She had always been a gentle person and the bearded director was standing at the side happily.
However, Han Yi was gentle, but Su Yang was not. In the entertainment industry, celebrities could have a good temper, be kind to others and not put on airs. However, there was a prerequisite… Their agency had to be strong and were able to protect them.
If both the celebrity and their agency were kind, then they would appear to be weak and everyone would want to bully them.
Su Yang walked over and looked at the bearded director. "Director, were you satisfied with Han Yi's performance?"
The moment Su Yang asked, the entire place fell silent.
Initially, when everyone saw that Su Yang did not mention anything after Han Yi had gone through three scenes, they thought that Su Yang was trying to mitigate the issue.
After all, a director had a higher status than a celebrity.
Han Yi had already fought back her pride. Taking a step back and pretending that everything had not happened was very normal.
Unexpectedly, after the performance, Su Yang suddenly stood up.
The bearded director looked at Su Yang and then at Han Yi with an awkward expression. "It's… alright."
Su Yang chuckled. "It's not just alright, is it? She might not be outstanding, but her acting is pretty good."
Unable to lie through his teeth, the bearded director could only nod.
Su Yang said in a low voice, "Then, you haven't forgotten our bet, right? Since I've changed Han Yi's acting skills, you have to admit that you're incompetent on the spot and apologize to both Han Yi and me."
Su Yang's words were so powerful that the entire cast and crew did not even dare to breathe loudly. Everyone could not help but slow down their movements as they quietly observed the situation.
Get the director to apologize on the spot... In all his years of filming, he had never encountered such a big incident.
One had to know that the director was the king of the production team, and everyone had to listen to him. However, Su Yang was challenging his authority.
However, what Su Yang did was reasonable.
Initially, when everyone saw Han Yi repeatedly NG, they thought that it was because Han Yi was not suitable for acting, and her acting skills were not good enough, so they blamed it all on Han Yi.
However, after Su Yang's pointers, Han Yi had completely changed. At first, no one could react to it, but gradually, they came to realize that it was not that Han Yi did not have any acting skills, but that she lacked someone to guide her.
At this moment, everyone suddenly remembered that the bearded director did not seem to have given Han Yi any pointers at all. Other than giving her his requests, he only gave her the role over and over again.
One had to know that the bearded director would occasionally give pointers to a minor character. This was obviously abnormal.
So everyone gradually realized the truth:
'Although Su Yang is good, Han Yi isn't bad either. Her director seemed to be deliberately finding trouble to embarrass Han Yi.
'Therefore, as Han Yi's boss, it's normal for Su Yang to stand up for her. It's only reasonable for him to ask the director to apologize.'
However, the bearded director did not think so. He felt like he was the director. If he apologized, how would he lead the crew? Who else in the crew would be able to respect him?
Hence, his face darkened. He looked at Su Yang strangely and said firmly, "That's enough, this matter ends here."
Hearing the director's words, Su Yang smiled. "Director, they're part of the production team, so they have to listen to you. However, I'm not. I'm Han Yi's boss, now that she's been bullied, I have to support her. Otherwise, the industry will think that Han Yi is easy to bully. Don't you think so?"
The director's face darkened as he retorted, "Who would bully her? She's a popular starlet, who would dare bully her?"
Su Yang did not stand on ceremony as he said, "Everyone here can see how talented Han Yi is. She NGed more than ten times, but she's still acting. Everyone can see that she's working hard. If you gave her some pointers from the start, would she not be able to act well?"
The director lowered his voice. "That's because you guided her well."
Su Yang wasn't going to give the director any face. The director may have softened his tone, but Su Yang was not going to. "So you're admitting that you're not good at directing? That you're not good at leading actors?"
"You can't even compare to me, a producer, what kind of director are you!"
Su Yang's words were too impolite. The bearded director's face turned red and his eyes were spitting fire. He could not hold it in anymore.
He felt that he had already been bullied by Su Yang, but Su Yang still refused to give up. Hence, he was not willing to give Su Yang any face. He said directly, "It's not up to you to decide whether I can be the director or not! I was just giving you face!"
"It's true that you're a producer, but what kind of product are you? An! Online! Movie! All you did was invest and supervise an online movie and you became a part of the industry? What right do you have to question me?"
The moment the director said that, there was an uproar. Everyone looked at Su Yang differently.
Although there was a prefix between online movies and cinema movies, they were worlds apart.
Previously, it was said that the entertainment industry was strictly hierarchical. Movies had the highest status, television dramas and variety shows were secondary, where variety shows were of a lower status than television dramas. However, there was actually something lower than variety shows, web dramas and online movies.
Among the last two, online movies were even lower than online dramas. It was not an exaggeration to say that they were the lowest in the entertainment industry.
All of these rankings did not come by without reason.
Based on investments, movies could easily return hundreds of millions of yuan of investments, while online movies could only turnover twenty million yuan at most.
Based on the cast, all movies consisted of A-Ranked celebrities, celebrities who had won Best Actor or Best Actress awards. On the other hand, online movies only had outdated actors and not many amongst them were popular.
Based on the box office earnings, there were movies with tens of billions of yuan, probably even more. On the other hand, the highest box office earnings of online movies was only 40 million yuan and it was Su Yang who broke that record.
Over 40 million yuan in box office sales? That was just the cost of a few episodes of online dramas.
Therefore, it was no wonder that online movies had the lowest status within the entertainment industry. It was far behind other industries in all aspects. It was crudely manufactured and could be completed with a small workshop. It was completely unlike the entertainment industry's glory, a literal nobody.
Previously, when Su Yang said that he was the producer, everyone thought highly of him. That was because those who could invest in cinemas were all big shots with connections in the industry.
But online movies… Well, the value of this product is much lower.
Even in the entertainment industry, there was always controversy over whether online movies or online movie actors could be considered part of the entertainment industry. Some male and female actors who came from online movies would always be looked down upon. Even if they changed their genre, everyone would still look down on them.
Hence, the moment the bearded director revealed Su Yang's identity, Su Yang's position in everyone's hearts plummeted.
Su Yang's expression changed. He did not expect that the bearded director would investigate his identity.
But he was not famous in the industry, so how could he have found out about this in such a short time?
Su Yang's head moved slightly as he swept his gaze across the venue. Instantly, he saw a chair behind the director's chair. On the chair was the former producer of Su Yang's film company… Producer Zhao!
Su Yang connected the dots.
He remembered that when he first came to the set on that day, someone had said that the director had made an appointment with a friend to speed up the filming. So it was Producer Zhao.
From the looks of it, Producer Zhao had been on set for a long time, so it was understandable that the bearded director knew who he was.
Su Yang turned his head and guessed the whole story. Then, he said nonchalantly, "So what if it's an online movie? Isn't an online movie a movie?"
"Besides, I'm the producer of an online movie and I'm even better at directing scripts than you are. Your professional standards should be more dubious, shouldn't it?"
Su Yang's words made many people in the production team cover their mouths and snicker.
The bearded director was really angry this time. He said directly, "I just didn't want to guide her! What about it?! She's only here as a guest and not part of the crew. I don't have to guide her!"
When Su Yang saw the bearded director flying into a rage out of humiliation, he smiled indifferently. "Wouldn't it be better if you admitted it? Our Han Yi has agreed to make a cameo appearance without being paid, yet you guys are still complaining so much? In that case, we'll stop acting in this movie from now on!"
Then, Su Yang said, "Also, please don't use Han Yi's shots. Otherwise, we'll be seeing you in court."
Su Yang's drastic move had shocked the entire crew.
The film crew had specially arranged for Han Yi to be the supporting actress who had a few scenes, just so that she could ride on Han Yi's popularity. In the end, they had been busy for the whole day and had even filmed the scene, but they could not use it. They were losing money for nothing.
Especially since Han Yi did not accept any money and came to make a guest appearance. It was totally free, where else could they find such a free lunch?
But now, the pie was gone?
Therefore, everyone in the production team was anxious. The producers at the scene rushed forward to persuade them to reconcile. Han Yi's sister, Yi Wei, also stepped forward to make peace.


Su Yang was an average university student in Shanghai when he received a system that allowed him to add points to things. The point system provided him with missions and by clearing them, he would gain points. 
Add a point into an object, the object will receive a special ability; add a point into a plant, the plant will come alive; add points on himself, he will get talents or superpowers.
With the mysterious point system in hand, Su Yang aimed to become rich and alter his fate. On his path towards success, he encountered many interesting matters and people, including famous actresses and business tycoons. Fueled by determination, Su Yang set his sight on adding points into all things to help him achieve his goal. 


Ren Hong took a sip of water and continued. "Have you thought about the impact of the launch of Real-time Online Translator?"
Impact?
The group pondered and Ren Hong didn't interrupt them. The knocking outside the classroom seemed to have stopped, but Ren Hong didn't care if they had left.
"What's the impact?" Zhang Han and the rest didn't seem to have any idea.
As soon as Ren Hong heard the response, he gave them a resentful gaze. "Seems like you guys are only capable of handling the technological aspects of things." Ren Hong's intention was to see if these roommates of his had the potential to become the CEO of a company, but it looked like they didn't. 
Ren Hong was clearly the perfect CEO candidate for XlouS. However, he was more obsessed with technology and also ready to consider whether he should hire a headhunter to find a professional manager after the company moved out of the school in the future.
Ren Hong looked at the puzzled gazes of the group and explained: "Real-time Online Translator was born for the internet and social media platforms. How many social network companies are there in the world now? Facebook, Twitter, Google+, and so on. Facebook is the leading social network now, so what if Google+ gets the exclusive license of Real-time Online Translator in the social media space?"
"I get it now!" Zhang Han exclaimed. "Perhaps those giant companies will be scared witless by the introduction of Real-time Online Translator. Be it Facebook or Google+, whoever has Real-time Online Translator will be the king of the field. If Facebook has it, this world's number one social media platform will be almost untouchable. But if other social media platforms have exclusive rights to Real-time Online Translator, it's very likely that they will compete for users against rivals using this divine software. The 3.8 billion previously untouched global potential users of the internet will give them a competitive edge that is hard to rival."
"Correct!" Ren Hong nodded and smiled. "If Google+ gets the exclusive license for our product, it isn't surprising that it will entirely beat Facebook. One has to know that Google's parent company, Alphabet, is also a corporate giant. Google and Facebook are competitors, and Google's social networking dream has never died."
Zhang Han followed his mind and said, "In other words, we will sell only for a good price. Haha."
"Yes, but by doing so, we will offend either side. What if they join forces? They are world-renowned corporate giants, so how will they let us do that?" Chen Kai said worriedly.
Zhang Han, who was feeling exhilarated seconds ago, was instantly dumbfounded. The group looked at Ren Hong, and the latter didn't seem to have the slightest care upon hearing Chen Kai's concerns.
Ren Hong looked at the group with an exaggerated expression, spread his hands apart, and said, "So what if they join forces? What does XlouS have to do with them whether they hug or fight each other? XlouS isn't even in competition with them; our product doesn't conflict with theirs. Fine, even if they ignore the advent of Real-time Online Translator, we'll just keep selling our product. Users of Facebook, Twitter, Google+, and etc. can still use it, unless the platforms disallow them to install our software, which is obviously impossible. Real-time Online Translator is like open source Android. Whether phone manufacturers of Xiaomi, Vivo, OPPO get along or not, they still use Android, and Android has nothing to do with their competition."
If there was someone who still didn't understand what Ren Hong meant after that concise explanation, that person was better off grabbing a piece of tofu and smashing his head with it.
Ren Hong dwindled his exaggerated smile and continued. "Real-time Online Translator is in such a superior position, but I don't believe these social networking giants are uninterested in this software that can strengthen their existing position or defeat their rivals. And if we give Facebook exclusive rights to it, it doesn't mean we'll lose users from Google+. One has to know that Google+ users are not only social users; it's possible that some of them like the culture of other countries and so on, and when they browse foreign sites they need our products. And that's like indirectly trapping Google+ users to use our products."
Ren Hong emphasized, "Whether they are users of Twitter, Facebook, and so on and so forth, everyone belongs to the internet, and that's the core value of Real-time Online Translator."
At that moment, everyone finally grasped the situation thoroughly.
"Haha! I didn't expect our product to have such a great advantage. How ridiculous that IDG Capital sent this idiot to give XlouS a $120 million valuation. Are they totally out of their minds?
Li Taosheng, who was outside the door, turned red after hearing Zhang Han's words. But it didn't matter anymore. Li Taosheng heard everything that Ren Hong said. And the longer he listened, the more astonished he was. He was surprised that Ren Hong mentioned some things that even he hadn't heard of.
Li Taosheng was baffled that this young university student had analyzed the market so thoroughly. At that moment, he regretted his life. This company didn't even need to beg a venture capitalist for investment. Instead, it was the venture capitalist that had to beg them to invest with large amounts of money.
There is nothing wrong with Ren Hong's analysis. Once XlouS went public, it would become one of the top 10 internet companies in China just with this product.
At this thought, Li Taosheng grew anxious. He couldn't care less about his manners anymore.
"Mr. Ren! Mr. Ren!"
"Sh*t! I thought they had already left!" Zhang Han was startled to hear his voice.
"Does that mean that they heard what we said?" Chen Kai was stunned.
"It doesn't matter!" Ren Hong shook his head and said. "He can't do a thing even if he heard us!"
"Mr. Ren! I sincerely apologize. Please give me a chance, Mr. Ren." Li Taosheng kept shouting. At that moment, the assistant suddenly tugged his sleeve. Li Taosheng turned around and whispered to her: "What is it?"
"The representatives from Sequoia Capital are here!" The assistant whispered back.
"What?! Damn it! These bast*rds have keener noses than dogs," Li Taosheng swore. Upon hearing his words, the assistant wasn't sure of what to think because wasn't he cursing himself too for saying that? But apparently, at that moment, Li Taosheng was too overwhelmed to think about that.
Right now, he was only thinking about ways to appease the wrath of this young founder. Apparently, everyone knew that this startup that was still renting this ordinary classroom in campus space contained a golden egg. It was common sense that even though one could make life difficult for another, one could never refuse the powerful US dollar—that would be a crime.
At that moment, a luxurious limousine arrived and stopped outside Tsinghua University. Students within the campus school looked at the vehicle with sidelong glances through the gates.
"Whoa, Rolls-Royce Phantom! Who's in there!"
At the same time, an office within the academy received the news. The bewildered school director stood up instantly from his seat. "What did you say?! Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook, arrived at our school?"
"Hurry! Get down to welcome him! No, I'll head there myself." The school director left the office right away.


A talented young man, Ren Hong, drops out of Tsinghua University to establish a technology company called XlouS.
XlouS's breakthrough application software, "Real-Time Online Translator", gains the favor of Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook, who buys its exclusive license for a whopping 12 billion USD.
This is just the start of XlouS's rise to prominence in China's technology industry. Two years later, it subsequently launches the wearable smart device, "S-1", challenging American multinational tech company Apple Inc.’s iPhone.
XlouS continues to pioneer multiple industries by developing advanced holographic imaging technology, leading to a new wave of changes in film following 3D and IMAX...
As XlouS’s slogan declares, every technological product it launches exists to “Change the World”, and it is all because of this young man, Ren Hong…

The change in temperature between the inside and outside was so evident that Xie Feng could not help but shudder slightly. At the same time, he suddenly felt a little sorry for all the young children who must be facing the winter with worn-out clothes at this time.
When he arrived at the table, he saw that the dishes were already served. There was chicken, fish, sweet and sour pork, vegetables, rice, and boiled egg... Such a varied and sumptuous dinner with the smile of two beautiful women waiting for him warmed Xie Feng's heart, forgetting the cold of the outside world.
"Oh! What's going on with this great dinner?" Xie Feng asked as he took off his coat and left it on the back of the chair.
"Well..." Xie Yao looked at Gu Qianxue for a second and continued, "Big Brother Xie Feng, do you remember that Qianxue must return to Beijing tomorrow for a few days?"
Xie Feng's eyes shone as he listened to Xie Yao's words. Seeing Gu Qianxue suddenly become a little nervous, he seemed to understand something. His lips curled up imperceptibly and he decided to play a little:
"Oh? So it's a temporary goodbye? I see, I see." Said Xie Feng as he turned on the television.
Seeing that Xie Feng didn't say much about it, Gu Qianxue became anxious. She tapped Xie Yao under the table as if to urge her to do something.
"Well... about that... Big brother Xie Feng, actually-..." Xie Yao commenced to talk hesitantly. But just as she was about to say the important part, the television news made her shift her attention to the screen.
"Just a few hours ago, the first large-scale battle was fought on our country's server in the 100% immersive virtual reality video game, Samsara Online." A handsome man with an ointment hairstyle started the evening news.
"Apparently, thousands of videos were recorded and hundreds of them were uploaded to the official Samsara Online forum. An internet user took the liberty of studying the available videos and after a few hours of professional editing, a unique video was formed in which important scenes can be appreciated from different angles.
As probably everyone knows, Shiva was the first player in the whole world to overcome the first class change in the Despair Mode; a mode that is technically impossible to overcome for players in this initial stage of the game. A player full of mystery after the video of him fighting against several Bosses Sun grade at the same time... Shiva is once again one of the main characters of this story."
The newscaster paused, and Xie Feng took the opportunity to comment: "Somehow I feel like the protagonist of a midday drama..."
"Hehe~"
"Haha~"
Both beauties couldn't help but laugh.
The news continued: "Although it is not clear exactly why, many comments from players who were in the battle zone from the beginning said that apparently, it all started due to a verbal discussion between two groups of people. Surprisingly, there were two people who are famous too... One was Nangong Lei, who was ranked 4th in the Levels Ranking, and the other was Feng Yao, who was ranked 8th in the Ranking..."
Xie Feng looked at Xie Yao and Gu Qianxue gave her a funny smile: "Wow, now you are a celebrity, lady in the top 10."
Xie Yao rolled her eyes and almost fell off the chair due to the silly joke of both of them.
"Nangong Lei and Feng Yao had a verbal confrontation in which Feng Yao was victorious by a wide margin..." The man in the news almost laughed as he remembered Xie Yao's cruel words, but he quickly restrained himself and continued: "The player Nangong Lei got angry for certain reasons and decided to attack the female player Feng Yao... However, more important figures arrived on the scene."
The man continued talking and giving a brief description of what had happened, then said with a somewhat excited smile:
"Please look carefully at the next scenes."
A video that even surprised Xie Feng was played on the screen.
The video showed Xie Feng fighting against over 100 players, clearly showing how Xie Feng used his spear masterfully. Every time his spear hit an enemy player, they were sent flying and killed without second chances. Then, the video showed the magnificent arrival of an army of 10,000 players.
People gasped from their homes as they watched the scene unfold more and more. They felt their blood burning as if the person who was fighting was not Shiva, but themselves.
The video was so well edited and cut into the unnecessary parts that Xie Feng silently praised the creator of this work of art.
At the end of the video, you could see Xie Feng looking at Nangong Lei and his final words were repeated once again:
"...If anyone dares to put a single finger on her... I WILL MAKE THAT PERSON RETURN TO LEVEL 0 AND NEVER LEAVE THE CITY WALLS ALIVE AGAIN!"
Countless young women and teenagers had hearts in their eyes. They couldn't help but feel envious of the female player Feng Yao. They also wanted a strong man who was willing to fight against an army of 10,000 men for them... They also wanted a man who was brave enough to have the courage to say such bold words in front of so many people.
Not knowing that he had suddenly become the man of dreams for thousands of young women, Xie Feng felt a little embarrassed... Although there was nothing bad about what he said, it was still a little embarrassing to see himself say those words after his mind went cold.
Xie Yao had a beautiful seductive blush on her pretty face and would occasionally steal looks at Xie Feng in secret.
"Although the vast majority of comments on this video were positive, there were also many negative comments. After the video ended, the handsome man from the news continued: "In response to these negative and even threatening comments, the creator of Samsara Online, Miss Eva, personally made an audio and uploaded it to the web... Let's listen to it".
"For all the people who claim for justice and still believe that the Chinese player Shiva is cheating or taking advantage of some deficiency in the game, my answer was given previously. I will repeat myself for the last time; Samsara Online IS NOT DEFECTIVE..." The somewhat soft voice of a woman could be heard clearly. Her voice had nothing special, it didn't stand out too much... However, her next words were bold enough to silence the whole world for a few seconds: 
"If after this there appears another person who doubts the staff of Samsara Online, then those people are invited to leave the game and return to live peacefully in the real world. The purpose for which Samsara Online was created is not for crying children to complain about every little detail... The purpose of the creation of Samsara Online is for everyone to find their own path!"
The audio ended there. Xie Feng, Xie Yao, Gu Qianxue... Everyone's mouth was open.
After a moment of silence, Xie Feng laughed aloud: "Hahahaha good! What a brave woman! I like it! If those crybabies are not willing, then leave the game!"
Suddenly, Xie Feng seemed to think of something so he looked at Gu Qianxue and asked, "By the way, Qianxue. Do you know anything about the creator of Samsara Online?"
Gu Qianxue thought for a moment. She seemed to think in detail to give the most detailed answer possible to Xie Feng:
"What my father found out about her is not much. Her real name is Evangelina Mikhalova, Russian descent, 35 years old. Her appearance is that of a normal caucasian woman, there is not much to emphasize... The strange thing about her is that no registers can be found about an existing family nor can anything be found about her past... It's as if she had appeared recently."
Xie Feng nodded, "I see. Thank you."
Gu Qianxue smiled and shook her head, expressing that it was nothing.
Actually, what Gu Qianxue told Xie Feng was more or less what he knew about it too. Still, it was valuable information that no normal person could ever have access to.
"Ah, right. Qianxue, I have a farewell gift for you," Xie Feng suddenly said. He turned off the TV and the three continued to eat dinner while chatting casually.
"Huh?" Gu Qianxue was slightly surprised. Actually, she wanted to ask Xie Feng to accompany her to Beijing... She just couldn't find a way to ask him that knowing that Xie Feng and Xie Yao didn't have good memories there.
"Oh well, it's a surprise. I'll give it to you later, don't worry." Xie Feng smiled mysteriously. After a pause, he smiled strangely: "I'm sure you'll like it..."
Gu Qianxue thought for a moment that it could be the surprise. Unfortunately, she found no clue. Unable to do anything about it, she nodded, " Okay, I look forward to it then."
Hearing Gu Qianxue's response, Xie Feng had a bright smile on his face: "Yes... Look forward to it..."
Although Xie Feng's smile was bright as the sun, Xie Yao suddenly felt a chill running through her body and a bad premonition hit her... She felt that not only Gu Qianxue would get a surprise, but both... In addition, Xie Yao somehow felt that she was forgetting something important.
Xie Feng looked at both beauties as he continued his dinner and thought to himself:
'Damn it... You two dared to make fun of me this afternoon... I will show you how LITTLE my dragon is.'


In the year 2030, Samsara Online, a 100% immersive VRMMORPG that allows players to bring their innate real-world skills to the virtual world, is launched and supported by the World Central Bank.

With terrifying analytical ability, inhuman reflexes, and monstrous reaction speed, Xie Feng's travel starts into a world that he will gradually discover is not as normal as it seems.

It was also from that moment that Xie Feng's life started to deviate from the norm, changing his destiny completely.

”As long as I exist in this world, no one else is allowed to be #1!”

”All those who made her cry will pay!”
↓              ↓            ↓              ↓             ↓              ↓              
Note: In chapter 4 it might seem that something is forced, but trust me when I say that it is not.
Everything has a logical reason, I just hope you continue reading to discover it!

Note to readers who dislike the harem: The harem in this novel will not be like in 99% of the novels where the protagonist only picks up girls madly. This harem has a logical reason and a specific destiny connecting the protagonist with the girls. Believe me, if it wasn't a harem, at the end of the story you would just cry.

"My brother does not lie."

Chance was dumbfounded by the sudden words that came out of Louis's mouth. "What do you mean?" he asked, finally ending the silence.
Louis rolled his eyes, "It means that you two really are lovers." he said, making Chance flustered, "No!"
"I swear we are not! Maybe you are wrong about your brother not being able to lie. I have not even been informed that we have a relationship so how can we be lovers?" he defended, but the way he defended it made it look like another proof that they really have something.
Louis squinted at his servant, "Who are you kidding? You are so obvious." he whispered but Chance still heard it. 
"I told you we really are not—"
Louis raised his hand in front of Chance's face to make him stop, "Let's say that you two are really not lovers, but since my honest brother said it, that means,"
He looked at Chance, "He really likes you."

A part of Chance felt unknowingly happy, but another part of him was sad. It was the words that he had feared would come. True or not, it shakes him. He does not know why he felt weird after hearing what Louis said even though it were just words with no proof.
If Caliber were to like him or if he ever fell in love with Caliber, he might change everything that was fated to happen. He does not even know who the real lover of King Charles was, it will just bring him trouble to love someone else. 'Why am I even thinking about this? It's not like I love him...'

"Stop it, Cole." Chance said, if he says anything further, he might start believing it.
There was no point in arguing about it so Louis just stayed silent and secretly rolled his eyes. "Whatever you say." he whispered.
"Why did you choose me as your personal servant?" he asked out of curiosity. A hot headed and stubborn young boy, a smart and arrogant royal. Why does he suddenly change his attitude and take him in as his servant? "Not only that but a servant with perks."
"Why do you need a reason? I chose you because I chose you. That is it." he said, obviously annoyed. "Just like any other royals, I can choose a person and turn them into servants any time I want. I made you my servant just because I am bored and you fit the job."
Chance smiled and shook his head slight after hearing the boy's words, "I do not think so." he whispered.
"You made me your servant because you are lonely."

Louis turned his head to Chance, "What did you say?"
"You are just lonely."
Embarrassed, he could feel his cheeks burning, "W-what are you talking about? Why would you think I am lonely just because I made you my servant?" he did not expect Chance to say that, it took him by surprise.
"You are similar to my brother." Chance stated. Louis listened to know why he thinks he is similar, "Although he is not a brat, but he likes to act mean and grumpy." 
He looked at Louis, "Because he thinks that the world is mean to him, he is also mean in return. The personality he shows is a shield, his attitude is a mask, his words are his weapon and his heart has been locked, waiting for someone who has enough effort to open it."

He might not have known Clayton long enough to say these words, but he knows because he feels it.
He recalled the time where he embraced Clayton Howard in the library, the gush of sadness has been let out a little but still kept it inside and walked away maybe with the belief that being mean will make him strong in the eyes of others.
"Behind the walls he makes, is a weeping man of loneliness." he added, "I believe he will meet someone who is strong enough to break that wall."
The leaves danced as the wind blew, it rained with the falling leaves and Chance watched its beauty. If he has a phone with him, he would surely not miss a chance to take a shot.
After the silence, Louis looked away with a frown, "How is that similar to me?" he whispered. 
Chance smiled, he really finds the young prince adorable, it is not that he is a brat, but he is still a kid in heart. "Just like my brother, you are mean to others because you want someone who would truly understand you." he said and patted the child's head.
"You probably have the mindset 'Why would I be nice to people who I am not sure are really nice to me?' right?" he added and Louis nodded his head immediately, "Of course, why should I waste my kindness on someone who is not worth it?"
"Then why do you think I am worthy of it?"
"Why? Am I being kind to you?" 
"Well, you chose me."
"So? Does making you a servant make me kind?" he said with a furrowed brow, "You are so weird."
"I am your personal servant, you would not choose anyone you think is not worthy." Chance answered. "Fine, think what you would like to think of it." Louis said.
"How about you?"

Chance watched the falling leaves for a little while before turning to him, "Hmm? What?" he asked and saw Louis, blankly staring at him.
 "Are you lonely too? Do you also distance yourself from others?"
Chance smiled again, hiding bitterness from showing on his lips, 'I have been lonely my whole life.'

"Unlike the two of you, I am not mean to others. I just...prefer to be alone." he answered. "There are different types of people, some wants to be alone because they are sad, some are sad because they are alone."
Louis tilted his head and rested it on his closed hand, "What type might you be?"
"I am the type that enjoys being alone." he said and faced him with a smile. "It is better that way. I might be unsociable but at least I am in peace." he added.
Cole let out a slight chuckle by his weird answer, "So you do not have friends too?"
The days before he came into Charles's story flashed through his mind and he remembered he and his friends' first meeting. "I have four friends. The three of them are my online friends, I do not meet them at all personally but have known them long enough to consider them as my family. Even though they are far, they make me feel that they are always near."
Louis felt somewhat envious, Chance only has few friends but they are real to him. Friends that one would surely want. His brows furrowed in curiosity again, 'How did they become friends if they have never seen each other?' he thought but decided not to ask.
"You said it was four but you have only mentioned three of them. Who is the other one?" he asked.
"Hmm? You, of course."
It took him by surprise, he never expected him to say that, "Me? Why is it me?"
"Why are you asking? Are we not friends?" Chance asked, Louis looked at him and viewed him like a sad puppy. He looked away and did not answer.
Chance tried to hold back the giggle, 'So cute, this boy.'

He returned his gaze at the beautiful scenery of the garden, the place was heaven for someone like him who likes books, nature and peace. Although he is living a good life in the days he is in Charles's body, he felt a bit sad as he thought of his own world. "I miss my professor, Wish and my online friends..." he muttered.
Louis glanced at him again, curious about a word since earlier. Chance did not notice his master's stare as he felt like he heard a sound in the garden even though it was only the two of them. 'Did Caliber come back already?'

"By the way..." he immediately turned to the young prince after hearing him talk without noticing that someone had already entered the secret place. "What is it?" he asked Louis.
"What do you mean by online friends? What is, 'online'?"
He gulped, there he went again, slipping up every time he talked. 'This boy is smart? What could I possibly give as an explanation for online? Will he know that I am lying?' he thought.
Louis just continued on staring at him, waiting for an answer but his gaze dropped down to the ground.
"Online is..." he was about to explain but he noticed Louis not looking at him anymore, 'What's wrong?'
"Your Highness."

Surprised by the sudden voice he looked down, along with the panic of explaining what online is, he lost his balance on his seat position on the branch. "Ah!"
Before he could hit the ground, a strong set of arms caught him. He saw his, or rather, Charles's knight, Alec, looking at his face, "What are you doing here?" the knight asked.
"Your highness?"


"Help me fill the pages of the book, with an untold story."

Chance Howard, a historical researcher, was assigned to discuss the history of the last king whose death was said to be connected to a male lover and now he is struggling with lack of information about the requested topic. 

Dead tired, he took a nap but that was when he got into a deal with Wish and Fate to help him know the king's story. Thinking that it was just a bizarre dream, he was shocked to find himself awakened in the 19th century, back in the last monarch of Antares. Surprised to also see his friends!

Living the life as the prince, the main subject of his research, he met the man who caused the death of the person he is living in. Caliber Stein, the man, whom no matter what changes, still bound to be part of his life.

And even if he returns back to his time, he knows that he will forever be trapped in history.

In his story.

(ALEXANDRIA [GL] is out now!)

He stated in his Weibo that their company had initially tried searching for someone within their circle of voice actors regarding the matters of dubbing for Qing Siyu. There were several backup candidates as well, but within the Internet voice-acting community, female CVs were far less well-known than male CVs. In a nutshell, the fans in the mixed community were boiled down to mostly younger girls. Every one of them liked that male idol type of voice, but they were not particularly enthusiastic about voice actors of the same sex.
For the sake of publicity, they had to look for someone who already had a decent number of fans. Coincidentally, Yun Linling was his friend, and they discovered that Silent Words was his girlfriend. She already had a fan base of her own, and they had met her in person before. They felt that it really fit the image of Qing Siyu in the game after hearing her voice.
Additionally, she was already together with Yu Linling, so it looked promising. They immediately asked Silent Words to dub the voice Qing Siyu at the dining table.
At the time, Silent Words did not agree to it. She was considering the fact that she was not a professional voice actor and was afraid that if she dubbed badly, that it would ruin the entire game. It was Nan Jingheng who tried his best to persuade her to agree.
In this regard, Silent Words had taken Yu Linling's feelings into consideration as well.
Nan Jingheng wrapped up his words as such, "Silent Words already has a solid reputation of her own on the Internet. Her fame with her food videos online was starting to grow, but she remained and had always stayed low-key from the start. She had never shown her face online and had never said a single word. Silent Words' fanbase is just simply bigger than most female CVs' fanbase, even more than some male CVs' as well. There's really no need for her to use Qing Siyu to grow her fame. Besides, hehe, as the wife of Yu Linling, it's even more unnecessary. Also, if she gave up on being Silent Words, she wouldn't lose out on anything. Tell me, do you think there's a need for her to use a back door to get herself a role as a voice actress?"
The implications he was making were obvious. Silent Words need not be worried about these things as long as Yu Linling was around. She could even dismiss and turn a blind eye on everything. There was no need for her to rack her brain juice to create a headline like Mo Xiaoqing, just for the sake of garnering attention. 
All these schemes were far beneath Yu Linling.
Once Nan Jingheng's words were posted, netizens began to guess Yu Linling's identity.
For him to have such a good relationship with Nan Jingheng and for him to personally admit that Yu Linling's identity was not at all ordinary. How extraordinary could he possibly be?
The most excited of them all were fans of Yu Linling and Silent Words.
Yu Linling's fans were even more excited about Yu Linling's true identity. They were curious about how f*cking awesome he actually was in real life.
As for Silent Words' fans, they were in a wild frenzy as Mo Xiaoqing was being beaten to a pulp by Massacre OL as well as Nan Jingheng online. Earlier that day, they were the ones that were stifled by keyboard warriors and Mo Xiaoqing's fans.
Now, they were finally able to see the truth based on hard facts.
"Hehe! Finally, she's beaten to a pulp. The shameless one here is obviously Mo Xiaoqing. She's like a robber who acts like a cop."
"Hail the mightly young master Nan, hail the formidable lords from Massacre OL's official Weibo!"
"That's right. Our goddess doesn't need to come and snatch the CV community's rice bowl, okay? She's been popular from the start."
"Look at that someone's number of fans, and then look at our goddess' number of fans. Hehehe. I really don't know how her fanbase could even utter such nonsense. 
While this was happening, Xu Moyan and Wei Zilin were watching movies in the cinema.
Once they came out and looked at the time, it was almost time to go home. On the way back, Wei Zilin saw the discussions that were happening on Weibo and told Xu Moyan about it.
Xu Moyan had to log in to her account to find out as well.
Unlike earlier that morning when the public sided with Mo Xiaoqing. After Massacre OL and Nan Jingheng's statement, the large majority of people were calmer, and no longer continued their intense online debate. Although, it was not like all the support was now with Xu Moyan.
Only a small group of Mo Xiaoqing's fans were unwilling to let go, but Xu Moyan's fans were not rubes as well.
Someone even said, "Tell your liege to come forth and make things clear. Make a head-on discussion with us and don't let the fans argue for her whilst your liege is cowering at the back."
"Surely, Mo Xiaoqing has a guilty conscience, and since no one is taking her side now, she's refusing to come forth."
Xu Moyan thought about it and asked Wei Zilin, "Will it be wise for me to step forth now?"
Wei Zilin was an expert in this area, and Xu Moyan felt that she needed to consult him beforehand. It would be wasteful to leave such a competent public relations expert unused.
At that moment, she began to feel that her boyfriend was way too capable.
"It's fine. We're the parties involved, after all, so we do need to step forth and say a few words. Since we're the ones getting support now, it'll be the best time." Wei Zilin said, "I'll say a few words as well."
Xu Moyan began to type with her mobile phone. She typed and deleted numerous times, paying extra attention to the wording of her statement.
Finally, she went through the written statement twice and decided that there were no issues. She showed it to Wei Zilin, and he approved it. Then, Xu Moyan released her statement.
Xu Moyan: "I used my long vacation to return to my hometown to visit my parents, so I didn't notice the situation unfolding on Weibo in time. Thank you for your trust and support. I'm someone that'll never break your trust. I've never thought of entering the voiceover circle, nor did I want to rob anyone of their opportunity."
"I came across Yu Linling's existence through Massacre six years ago and was mesmerized by his voice. From then on, he was my one and only idol. Like other fans of Yu Linling, I have also liked him for six years. Coincidentally, we were in the same city and have mutual friends. The idol that I've mentioned before in my own Weibo was actually him. I was lucky, as it turned out, he liked me as well. The relationship between the two of us is straightforward, please don't add your own twisted facts into the mix. I've never thought of using him to raise my popularity."
"I was hesitant when I was asked to dub the voice of Qing Siyu. However, my hesitation was only because I was worried that I would not do well. However, I never imagined that someone would use my personal feelings and make a fuss about it. This behavior is vile. Don't use these disgusting means just because you can't obtain the job you want. This dubbing is purely to help out a friend. I have never once thought about entering the voice-actor circle. I love food, and I love cooking, and I'll still focus my energy on putting out these videos. I want to introduce a detailed process of cooking meals and enjoy the fun of cooking with you. I'm not interested in becoming famous, or anything of that sort. So, if you want to be famous, there's no need to step on me to do it. It's useless as I won't entertain you. There's also no need for you to concern yourself with me and Yu Linling's relationship."
"Again, thank you, everyone, who trusted and supported me. I will try to live up to your trust and support."
Due to the dubbing catastrophe, she gained a lot more fans once more.
After the post was published by her, the comments quickly poured in.
"The goddess said it well! The most annoying people out there are those who act like b*tches but still want a chastity memorial arch to be built after her! True hypocrisy. How does such a person still have fans."
"Wow. I said it before, the goddess and Yu Linling must have known each other in real life."
"Now that I think about it, at the time when our great lord Yu Linling had been constantly posting on Weibo requesting to find himself a partner, it just so happens that our goddess was sprouting stirrings of love and was having a crush on the idol. It looks like the two of them already liked each other, but they were both unaware of it."
"Am I the only one that finds this romantic?"
"No, you're not the only one."
Wei Zilin reposted Xu Moyan's post on Weibo. He was a man with a few words online, and it was the impression that everyone online had of him. 
He made an exception this time and typed out a few more sentences: "Due to our mutual friends, it was love at first sight for me with Silent Words. I was worried that she would think I was frivolous, so I didn't dare confess yet. I had to get along with her as a friend. When all is said, I was the one that pursued her. If I am to see or hear those filthy posts again, just wait for a letter from my lawyer. The relationship between the two of us is a private matter, and I don't want to say more of it here. It's just that some people are bullying intolerably, and as for the matters of Silent Words' dubbing, it just speaks for itself. It was obvious who did it better. I was the one who taught Silent Words how to dub, sentence by sentence, and I watched her practice for a long time. She attached great importance to this role, for fear of being the downfall of the game. Her efforts are not something that anyone can disregard."
After Wei Zilin's post, his fans quickly rushed over to support him.
"Wait for a letter from my lawyer, those words are so domineering! The idol is so handsome!"
"The goddess is so blessed. It doesn't matter if she gets attacked on the Internet. The great lord is always here to protect her. That's ten thousand years of blessing!"
"The goddess must have really saved the galaxy in her last life."
Not long after Wei Zilin posted, it was forwarded again by Han Zhuoli.
Attached below was the original post by Xu Moyan, Han Zhuoli posted: "I'll be one to testify that when we had that meal, Silent Words did not want to agree to it. The shameless Jingheng was the one that used Yu Linling's good looks. Silent Words didn't want Yu Linling to be a CP with someone else on the Internet. It had nothing to do with being famous. It's a matter of being jealous! Besides, I'd like to add a piece of juicy news. Silent Words was not the only one that went back home for the long holiday. Yu Linling also went along to meet his future father and mother-in-law."
"What a piece of juicy news!"
"Once again, I'm curious about Yu Linling's true identity. I'm recalling back a while ago when Yu Linling and Silent Words started dating, all the nouveau riche of the Eight Dominant Families appeared."
"There's an inexplicable feeling of jealousy, and humorous and lovingness 233333[1]."
Wei Zilin and Xu Moyan completed their Weibo posts when they were in the taxi. After getting out of the car, they both put their phones away.
[1] Chinese people on the Internet used 23333 or 233333333333333 as a form of laughter.


When Lin Chu met the ridiculously rich and affluent Yan Beicheng, she did not expect him to act like an immature hooligan, shameless in every way whenever they bumped into each other. Yet, every encounter had him come to her rescue, from saving her from the humiliation of watching her ex-boyfriend marrying her adopted sister, to whisking her away from petty colleagues and lecherous clients.Whether this is true kindness remains to be seen, as he never forgets to take advantage of her whenever he can. Is there something between them or is he just having fun with her?
