"I want to get rid of this manga artist. I'll tear up all my monthly tickets for you, and the recommendation tickets too!"
"Seriously, how long do you plan to milk this Rich Second Generation storyline? I feel like I could take a break and come back to it later."
"This chapter was completely unnecessary. The author added this plot just to squeeze more money. It's enough already..."
What the hell?!
What's going on?!
Tang Tangtang was stunned, looking at the "99+" notifications popping up behind the hidden message window.
Even if people were voting and tipping for him, it shouldn't be this crazy!
Curious, Tang Tangtang clicked into the artist's backend,
"You have received a reward of 30,000 Dongdong Coins from 'Artist Jiujiu.'"
"You have received a reward of 9,000 Dongdong Coins from 'Guardian of the Rich Second Generation.'"
"You have received a reward of 6,000,000 Dongdong Coins from 'Luosifen Should Be Eaten with Laoganma.'"
…
With stiff fingers, he scrolled down,
109 Silver Lords, 44 Gold Lords, and 18 Diamond Lords,
"Where did all these lords come from?"
Tang Tangtang panicked,
Things had gone off track, beyond his expectations.
100 Dongdong Coins equal 1 yuan,
A Silver Lord is 100,000 Dongdong Coins, a Gold Lord is 1,000,000 Dongdong Coins, and a Diamond Lord is 10,000,000 Dongdong Coins. Converting these lord rewards into money amounts to 2.349 million yuan.
And Tang Tangtang only calculated the lord rewards, not the small rewards from other readers.
According to the platform's rules, the money from these rewards is split 50-50 between the platform and the author, counting towards the author's monthly earnings.
What does this mean?
It means that from yesterday to now, he could earn at least 1.1745 million yuan from rewards alone.
And what's even scarier is,
The Rich Second Generation splash screen recommendation lasts for a full 24 hours.
With only half the time elapsed, these leaderboard figures will continue to rise in the remaining time.
Every time he refreshed the backend, messages about monthly tickets and rewards kept popping up.
And the numbers on the major leaderboards made Tang Tangtang's face pale and his hands tremble.
Dongdama's All-Network Bestseller List:
"Adolescent Messy Boys Also Want Sweet Love - The Affection of Heaven's Descendant" leads the list, soaring to the top!
Dongdama Comic Fan List:
"The Affection of Heaven's Descendant" fan count jumped from 302,000 to 1.96 million, topping the weekly new fan ranking!
…
Tang Tangtang couldn't stay still!
"Is the effect of a character splash screen recommendation really this powerful?"
Previously, in the manga author's signing group, he had seen several authors get this character splash screen,
Although their results had significantly improved,
Right now, his results weren't just an improvement,
They were flying out of the universe, out of space, out of this world!
"How is this possible?! Did the official backend glitch?"
"My manga is just a light-hearted romantic harem story, it's not a hot-blooded action manga, not an isekai manga, nor a fanfic manga, how could the results soar this much!"
"Could it be that a big-shot released a new book today and their fans mistakenly boosted my rankings?"
Tang Tangtang couldn't believe this reality,
He quickly opened Dongdama Tieba and SSAP Anime Forum to see if any big-shot released a book yesterday.
"Chapter 78 of 'Adolescent Messy Boys Also Want Sweet Love - The Affection of Heaven's Descendant' is legendary. Any objections? The Rich Second Generation is super handsome, super emotional!"
"[Let's discuss 'The Affection of Heaven's Descendant.' I discovered this manga when the author drew up to chapter 46, then I got hooked and captivated. First, let's talk about the author's meticulous character design, each roughly...]"
"I laugh at those sour lemons, even a side character in a harem manga can be so well-developed. What about your work?"
"I just caught up with the manga today, the Rich Second Generation is too perfect, I'm a fan now, especially the last scene almost made me cry."
"Warm and healing, the Rich Second Generation in 'The Affection of Heaven's Descendant' launched a 'gentle attack' on you."
"Confirmed! The character prototype for the Rich Second Generation is Chen Jianhai of Lang'ai Hotel in Nanjing City. The author is too brave!"
Tang Tangtang was dumbfounded.
What the heck is all this?!
Lang'ai Hotel's Chen Jianhai???
Who is that?!
Tang Tangtang was completely confused and clicked on the post.
Soon,
Chen Jianhai's personal information,
a bunch of manga and real-life comparison photos were all screenshotted by netizens and posted,
Even the phone model and details matched perfectly.
Looking at the detailed comparison pictures, Tang Tangtang fell into a complete stupor.
This world must be messed up.
He had randomly chosen an interesting person as his basic character setting from the vast sea of people due to fate and visual appeal.
But who knew his choice turned out to be such a big shot!
…
At this moment,
unaware that he had become famous all over the internet, Boss Chen was having a beautiful dream.
In the dream,
he was riding a giant red snapper, swimming freely in a sea of money.
As he swam,
a gate made of gold bricks appeared ahead,
above the gate,
snowflake-like money was falling from above.
"This is the Dragon Gate, let's go!"
In his dream, Chen Jianhai patted the red snapper below him.
The red snapper swayed its tail, its red body tilting upwards, and flew towards the golden gate.
Just as he was about to break through the gate,
suddenly,
a giant golden jellyfish floated out from above the gate, intercepting the money midway.
"Huh? A jellyfish???"
Chen Jianhai stared blankly at the giant jellyfish,
He'd never heard of a jellyfish above the Dragon Gate!
Before Chen Jianhai could think,
the next moment,
the golden jellyfish spoke with Liu Qinglu's voice:
"Get down!"
Then,
the golden jellyfish waved its tentacles,
knocking both the person and the fish down.
The sudden feeling of weightlessness woke Chen Jianhai up,
He kicked his leg and opened his eyes, gasping for breath.
"Hu…!"
It took him a full two minutes to recover from the nightmare,
It was a night of nightmares…
Just got a great deal on a sea cooperation, and then had a nightmare? That doesn't make sense!
Chen Jianhai sat up in bed, his hair a messy bird's nest,
When he was a child, his mother told him,
kicking off the covers at night meant either being cold or lacking calcium.
Given the geographical climate of Little Majia Island, he certainly wasn't cold.
As for lacking calcium, that was even less likely,
Chen Jianhai felt he was being fed to the point of nutritional overload by the kitchen staff every day,
Unable to figure it out,
Chen Jianhai got dressed, washed up briefly, and decided to eat something and go swimming.
In the restaurant, Xiao Lang was eating and frowning at his phone, not knowing what he was doing.
"What are you doing? So serious!"
Chen Jianhai yawned and sat across from Xiao Lang, looking dispirited.
Xiao Lang: "I'm tipping you as a Diamond Lord."
Chen Jianhai: "????"
Chen Jianhai thought he misheard, ignored him, and took out his phone to see 20+ missed calls, all from Wen Zifan and Lin Suyang.
Chen Jianhai was startled,
Did something happen at the hotel?
He quickly called back, and as soon as the ringtone sounded, Wen Zifan answered instantly.
"Boss, there's a problem."
Chen Jianhai's heart sank, "What happened?"
Wen Zifan spoke in a low voice: "Currently, news and information about you are spreading wildly online,"
"The PR department and I have been working hard to control the situation since last night,"
"But the spread is too wide, and we can't control it!"
"This PR crisis could have severe negative impacts on our hotel's reputation and development if not handled properly."
"Boss... what should we do?"
