Pada tahun 20XX, sebuah perusaha'an game terbesar berhasil membuat sebuah terobosan baru. Game yang selalu dinantikan oleh para gamers di seluruh dunia, yaitu Virtual Reality Massively Multiplayer Online, atau biasa di sebut dengan VRMMO, akhirnya tercipta.
Free World Online, adalah game VRMMO pertama yang bertemakan dunia yang bebas tanpa hukum.

The seller immediately sent a message. 'Hello, I've observed that your business has turned brisk after advertising on XX Web. But my business is not getting the same results.'
So, it was about business. Then Su Yue suddenly recalled that this was the company that advertised on XX Web alongside hers. 
She replied, 'Business hasn't improved for you?'
The seller replied, 'Not as much as yours.'
Su Yue could sense the envy and jealousy in her tone. 
Without waiting for Su Yue's reply, she sent another message. 'Aish. I spent 120,000 dollars for a day's worth of advertising. It took me three months to earn back the money.'
120,000 dollars? Su Yue blinked in confusion. How was that possible?
Su Yue replied, 'Wasn't it free, in celebration of China's national day?' 
The seller replied, 'What was free?'
Su Yue answered, 'The advertising.'
The seller replied, 'How's that possible? It cost me 120,000 dollars for 24 hours of advertising. And I had connections to arrange it for me too.'
Su Yue's mouth widened in shock… Her hands froze above the keyboard. 
Didn't the operations manager say that a few businesses were selected and given free publicity?
Not all of them were given free advertising?
She received another message and glanced at it. The seller was still complaining that her business was not as brisk as Su Yue's. 
Su Yue ignored it and closed the chat. 
But it still troubled her. Why was it free for her?
Could her third sister-in-law or brother be helping her in secret?
She immediately picked up her phone and dialed Su Yan's number. Then she scrolled through her chat history. 
She wanted to find the operations manager and ask about it. 
"Hello, Brother?" Su Yue greeted when he picked up. She asked in agitation, "Tell me the truth. Were you the one who arranged for XX Web to give me free advertising on China's national day?"
All the while, she believed that the advertising was free. After careful thought, indeed, it was too good to be true. 
Even if it were true, there were so many online shops that sold goods from China. Why would they choose her relatively new business? 
She could confirm that someone was helping her on the sly. 
"It wasn't me," Su Yan denied. 
Su Yue frowned, half-believing him. "Really?"
He didn't sound like he was lying. 
Besides, if it were really him, there wasn't a point in denying it anymore since the advertising was already over. 
Su Yue scrolled through her chats for a long time. 
She stared at the screen. 
Suddenly, a familiar username came into vision. She remembered it because he was her first actual buyer. The rest was her friends who were trying to support her. 
When Will The Bright Moon Arrive!
"It wasn't me. You should ask Xuxu," Su Yan replied. 
"Oh… I've got it," Su Yue replied absent-mindedly before ending the call. 
Then she placed her phone aside and clicked on her chat with 'When Will The Bright Moon Arrive'.
She scrolled all the way to the first message. 
The day where he made his first order. 
That day, she was so excited, she couldn't sleep. She cried for a long time, hugging Jiao Chen's photo. 


Wen Xuxu is a tenacious, talented, smart and brave woman who was fostered by the Yan family at the age of four when she lost both her parents. 

Brought up to be the successor of a huge conglomerate, Yan Rusheng is an aloof, intelligent and arrogant man who is the most sought-after bachelor in the capital city. 

Despite growing up together, both of them seem to treat each other as an eyesore. She labels him as a jerk and womanizer while in his eyes, she is a shrew. 

Over time, they fall for each other, but they continue to conceal their feelings for each other. By a twist of fate, they are forced into a marriage. And unknown to everyone else and Yan Rusheng, she has harbored a deep secret for many years… 

Keywords: Childhood sweetheart, Womanizer, Aloof, Soulmates, Forced marriage, Orphan, Secretary 

Sugary Scene： 

Suddenly, Wen Xuxu stretched her hand to clutch his wrist and pulled him forcefully. 
Yan Rusheng was caught off guard and he lost his footing. He fell on the bed and then his breathing became sluggish. 
Young Master Yan was afraid that he might lose control of himself and do something to Wen Xuxu... the woman he loathed. So he hastily raised his head. 
But he had barely moved away when Wen Xuxu stretched out her hands and put them around his neck. "Don't leave."

On the internet of Heavenly State, the analysis report of the prospects of online games—
According to the latest "Year 2014 Third Season Heavenly State App Online Games Market Survey" data published by Easy Game Holdings, the overall scale of the year 2014 third season Heavenly State app online gaming market has reached 8.688 billion yuan. A company named Flying Dragon Network has risen up strongly by commissioning for Spiritual Sword, and it directly broke new grounds with regards to the four big Heavenly State app online gaming companies which are formed by Turkey Games, Easy Net Games, Soulang Carefree Game and Big Star Network. 
Year 2014, third season, accompanied by the sudden emergence of Spiritual Sword, the market shares of a few large scale game manufacturers have also gradually shrunk, resulting in an inevitable situation of the decline of some of the manufacturers.
Facing the situation of the increasing difficulty of getting new users, various main gaming carriers launched new products, hoping to use this to attract new players. The competition between the manufacturers to gain new users is getting more and more intense, and in the process, Spiritual Sword strongly emerges, shocking all the various big companies.
Year 2014 game apps daily active users situation—
According to the average daily number of active users in the main game app of Heavenly State, the number of players online at the same time for "Spiritual Sword" have already exceeded 800,000, and it's still rapidly increasing. At the same time, "Dream Dota League," which had previously announced its upcoming open beta testing, has started to suffer from a decrease in popularity, and currently, it's already losing out to the rapid rising of Spiritual Sword in terms of forum posts. According to the related data calculations, currently, "Dream Dota League's" popularity is not even one-tenth of "Spiritual Sword's", and it's still continually decreasing.
According to the predictions of statistical professionals from Easy Game Holdings, in the upcoming seasons, in face of the slow increase in the overall scale of the market and increase of players, the online percentage of "Spiritual Sword" will increase further and break a new record. The small-scale game app manufacturers might either need to undergo restructuring or face integration. The prospects are worrying. We believe that if this situation continues, there will be a situation of "Spiritual Sword" dominating the online gaming market in Heavenly State, and "Draconic Continent" as well as the upcoming "Dream Dota League" might face the danger of being taken over.
The following was commented by the editor—
"The online gaming market is like rowing a boat against the current—not to advance is to retreat. If someone doesn't do something to stop 'Spiritual Sword', the local online gaming market will be completely monopolized. Of course, if the retailer, Flying Dragon Network, is willing to take over 'Draconic Continent' and 'Dream Dota League', perhaps these two games might have an opportunity to display their brilliance again(Smile)."
After closing the webpage, Shiroishi Kazuma smiled and said, "Looks like everything is going according to plan. This is quite good."
Qian Youjin stood beside him and respectfully asked, "Mr. Shi, then what should we do next?"
"Continue to advertise, and at the same time, announce that our online game will be permanently free of charge so that all players will be able to have a superb game experience." Shiroishi Kazuma insipidly said, "Free of charge, this is a method sure to increase popularity. This will definitely not go wrong. Also, create hype about the price of the equipments in the game. You don't need me to teach you what to do, right?"
"OK, I got it." Qian Youjin thought for a while, then he felt puzzled and asked, "Then how should we earn money from the game in the future?"
"That's simple." Shiroishi Kazuma took a small sip of tea. "Let the poor players serve the rich players, and after the popularity has really been increased, just sell some chargeable props."
…
In the next few days, all the various media in Heavenly State focused their attention on the fierce battle between the two games!
Spiritual Sword vs Dream Dota League!
This time, both parties flooded the entire internet with their advertisements. Spiritual Sword had advertisements all around, and news regarding Dream Dota League was constantly emerging as well! It started to expand from the internet to the huge advertisement posters in the various internet cafes, then to TV stations, and even the toilets of the internet cafes, hotels and motels had such labels—conveniently wash and rinse, clean and relaxing. Play Dream Dota League, relax your entire mind! 
These were only the tip of the iceberg. Next, in the various game categories on the various web portals on the internet, almost all of them contained the data reports after the open beta testing of Spiritual Sword, as well as various reviews, analysis, and introductions of the heroes in Dream Dota League. 
On Sangle Tieba forum, the number of users following the Spiritual Sword official Tieba forum was already close to 800,000, and it was still increasing at an insane speed.
Meanwhile, the number of people in the official Tieba forum of Dream Dota League had increased like the speed of wildfire to 400,000, and apart from studying into the various skills of the heroes that were already announced, they were also making preparations for the official open beta testing. 
And just when Dream Dota League was working hard to make preparations to increase the popularity for the upcoming open beta testing, Spiritual Sword's official website made a super heavyweight announcement!
Flying Dragon Network announced that Spiritual Sword would be permanently free, allowing all players to have a superb gaming experience!
In fact, the content of this announcement was already entirely unimportant. Once could tell the complete meaning of this advertisement just from the topic.
Once this announcement was published, it was instantly forwarded by netizens onto Weibo. The power of the players was great, and with one passing to another and going around to spread the news, within a short half an hours' time, it had already been forwarded 130,000 times, and there were a full 60,000 comments! Almost everyone was applauding for Flying Dragon Network! 
The strength of free things was scary. This time, Tang Muxin and Liu Mingxin had deeply understood this. When an online game that already had more than one million players online at the same time announced that it would be permanently free of charge, how strong would that kind of power be!
Ever since this notice had been published, Spiritual Sword's popularity instantly skyrocketed, arriving with the aura of strong gusts of wind blowing the leaves as it instantly swept through all other games! 
The number of searches for the keyword "Spiritual Sword" on Sangle Search Engine had instantly reached the peak. There were topics regarding Spiritual Sword all over Turkey Software, and groups of players from various zones emerged all at once. The price of a weapon from Spiritual Sword on Jianbao Plaza was increased to the sky-high price of 100,000 yuan. And it was said that just after that weapon had been placed on the internet, there was a super die-hard fan who flew there in person to show his sincerity in purchasing it. 
Very soon, news regarding this sky-high priced weapon was all over the place.
On Xinhai Weibo, all topics regarding Spiritual Sword had become hot topics of the entire website. There was even an exaggerated post on Weibo, saying that a piece of armor which could be said to rank in the first few places in the game had been obtained by a female player, and it was said that the price this female player paid was that she had to spend the night with the weapon's owner…
In no time, Spiritual Sword had become a godly piece of work in the hearts of all the players, and there were even some people who went to the extent of not being able to eat if they didn't play it.
On the forum, countless people showed photos of the great pieces of equipment they'd gotten, instantly attracting tens of thousands of people to take a look. The television entertainment channels also broadcasted about how this online game, Spiritual Sword, was so explosively popular that it was said that a child shouted Spiritual Sword's slogan "For the Dawn of Victory!" even in school. 
And at the same time, things were gloomy and worrying at Dream Dota League. The number of followers on its Tieba forum stopped at 55,000 people, and while the daily number of posts were already as high as 500,000 for Spiritual Sword, Dream Dota League's was just a little more than 60,000…
…
Mingxin Network headquarters building. Tang Muxin, together with two lackeys and Ling Xiaoyi, gathered with Liu Mingxin in front of the computer, frowning deeply while looking at the low and gloomy statistics displayed on the screen.
"Young Master Liu, this time, the opponent has really caught us unprepared." Tang Muxin said in a troubled voice. "It's perfect in all aspects, and no flaws can be found. The quality of the game itself is indeed very good, and the advertising methods are very effective. The most vital aspect is that it's permanently free. This suits the taste of a very large percentage of players!"
Tang Muxin was extremely worried about the current situation of Dream Dota League.
Had it been another person's matter, she wouldn't be concerned even if there were 10 million people online for this Spiritual Sword. But this time it was different. Spiritual Sword had affected the popularity of Dream Dota League, which had been created by Hong Dali. What it meant was very simple. If everyone went to play Spiritual Sword, who would still play Dream Dota League?
"Yes. Moreover, there is something that is also very important regarding Spiritual Sword. Their pieces of equipment are worth a lot of money." Liu Mingxin sighed. "This game is already free of charge, and the props are also worth a lot of money. This will attract a great number of players that don't want to spend money and instead want to earn money. It could be said that as long as this group of players increases, in the future there will definitely be more players willing to spend money!" 
"En, yes, once the popularity increases, by then, they can earn big money from whatever they sell because the base of the players is there!" Tang Muxin was very worried as well.
In that case, it would be very difficult for Dream Dota League to deal with this. Because Dream Dota League was a competitive type of battling game, and it had an intrinsic deficiency in this aspect. The free of charge issue aside, the key to the problem was that it couldn't attract those players that wanted to earn money through the game.
"My head hurts from thinking too much…" Tang Muxin rubbed her bright forehead and carefully pondered about Hong Dali's previous methods of squandering. After thinking for a long while, she helplessly shook her head. "I don't have any good ideas. In that case, let's continue to increase the advertisement power and hope that there will be some effect. When the open beta testing starts and the players get to play this game, they'll definitely like it!"
"En, at the moment, we can only do so." Liu Mingxin touched his chin, then added, "If worse comes to worst, after the open beta testing, let's hold a few competitions, then the popularity will increase by a certain amount."
"Right!" Tang Muxin clapped. "That's settled then! Let's continue the advertisements. Oh right. Also, set the timing of the competition. If things go as normal, the open beta testing should start the day after tomorrow, right? Then hold the competition three days after the open beta testing, how's that?"
"En, sure."
"OK!" Tang Muxin instantly decided. "This period of time, let's increase our advertisements, and at the same time, announce that the first Dream Dota League competition will be held on the fourth day of the open beta testing. By then, we can set the rewards higher. Let's set the prize for the first place as one million! I believe many people will definitely be interested in it!"
"Yes, this can work." Liu Mingxin nodded and smiled. "One million, this reward should not be a problem. It's already enough to attract attention."


"I have to squander; otherwise, won't it be a waste of my parent's talent at earning money?" Hong Dali answers a reporter's question matter-of-factly. 

Just after the interview ends, Hong Dali opens the Great Prodigal System's interface and looks at the various good stuff displayed in it. Stroking his chin, he mumbles to himself, "I just need to squander 200 billion yuan more to exchange for the blueprint of the core technology, Engine Destruction, found in the strongest humanoid mecha weapon, Neo Granzon. Looks like I'll have to work harder!"

"I want to splurge! I want to squander!"


Few minutes later after the princess took off from the elevator, Mano changed his seat far away from people. There, he hid the pamphlet inside the historical book he was reading. He locked his left thumb onto the cover of the pamphlet and from the left side of the historical book, he began reading its content. 

Everheim Online – Powered by DreamLink
General Information – Glossary:
Classes, sub-classes, skills, weapons, and kingdoms. Location of monsters, mini-bosses, and main bosses. Maximum level is 999, starting from level 0.

Mano: "WTH? Is this even true?!"  - Mano was astonished from what he is reading. He cannot believe that a commoner like him will have this kind of information. This is more than a spoiler. For a normal person that doesn't even know what the game is like nor what to do after the logging in inside the game, he was already been given a huge heads up. He then check his surrounding if there are other people looking at him. Then sighed a long deep breath, with a pale expression. "Son of a bitch! This is a grave offense once people found out about this pamphlet, this could turn out to be a universal punishment that will cost my life! I better find another place to read this or it might get dangerous!" Said to himself. He hid the pamphlet inside his jeans and went to the bathroom. He then goes to the toilet room, locked it and starts reading the pamphlet once again. 

He stayed there for like 2 hours. After he finish reading the mini-book, he was dumbfounded. Like every other VRMMORPG game, Everheim Online also focus on character progressions, level ups, quest, grinding, hunting and boss raids. One of the feature Mano learned is that the gossip in which the game also has territorial warfare is also true. Kingdom vs Kingdoms, once a player reached Lv.50, he will have to choose a Kingdom he will sworn to protect. There is also a ranking system in which a player can go up to Noble Rank, which is the highest rank.  Sadly for Mano, he is not satisfied with just the Noble Rank. From other VRMMORPG he played he was always a leader, commander, sometimes a king. Upon reading the pamphlet more and more, he learned that the "Heads" can have the option to fight for the 'Succession' to be Kings and Queens in their respective regions. 

Mano now have the idea about the Everheim Online. First, HH and Royalties are advertising and announcing that the game's purpose is to preserve humanity's information for thousands of years. To keep the brain of each individual inside the ship and that they will have opportunities inside the game to change and start a new life. To choose what they want to be. They are exclaiming that we have lots of potential to grow one day, changing the course of the paths that they left behind from planet Earth and start over.  But no, the real reason was, 'Succession'. This is the conspiracy that the Monarch planned all along in maintaining their positions on top and pass down the throne to their princes and princesses. The people on top, will always be on top. They will always use the people beneath them as stepping stones. That is the role of the people like Mano, who is living at the 'Lower Class' destined to be. This is the reality that Mano learned. The fire burning in him, all of his plans, were extinguished momentarily.  However. He has the pamphlet.  He then turned the page of the mini-book. 

NORMAL REDEMPTION CODES – Inside the game, you can redeem special rewards by stating the magic phrase in verbatim in front of the Altar of Blessings. Note that you can only redeem each rewards per player / account. All items will be sent via respective personal inboxes under special.

Note that you can only redeem each rewards per player/ account. All buffs will be received after your character is login inside the game.

Mano: "Son of a b*tch?! They have this kinds of sh*ts?! – He was shock upon realizing that the game is Pay to Win. "They were advertising the game that it is 'FREE TO PLAY, NO MONEY REQUIRED, JUST ENJOY THE PARADISE' whatsoever and they have this kind of feature?! Even in this pamphlet they only mention 'The head' and the 'Upper Class' so what if we are living in the lower class? You think we cannot afford to buy those premium cr*p?!" Said to himself with an angry expression.  He check the prices of the buffs and was frozen from the amounts.

;
After seeing some of the premium buffs and their prices. Mano had a jaw dropping expression while frozen in solid. "This pamphlet made its point, how wise ofr them not to advertise these hidden features. *Nodding*." – He had a change of heart and tears slowly pours down to eyes. "BUT HOLYSH*T whats with the price?!" –Then again he felt so ridiculed with the prices. He turn the page once again and it was the last page already. It contains lots of normal redemption codes for the 'Altar of Blessing' in game. It has the item names and the magic phrases to use in order to receive each of the goodies.

Mano: "Hmmmmm. Looking at the prices of those premium buffs, I just need to focus memorizing all of these normal magic phrases. They will all come in handy later once I login to the game." – He said to himself. "I don't have time to doubt all of this either it's true or not. Well I guess it is true? She She is legit from the royalty! No one can pull off a mesmerizing stunt like that!" – Mano reaffirmed the situation.  He has nothing to lose not to try. And he doesn't have a choice at all.

After storing all the names and magic phrases of the normal redemption goodies from the pamphlet into his memory, Mano have read the gameplay once again and assembled a structure of strategies for Everheim. Taking notes on his other notepad.  Few hours later, he is done. "I guess I got everything in my head now. Time to burn this pamphlet before we go to 'Sleep'." – Mano said to himself.  He began ripping the pieces of notes that he jotted down into the toilet bowl. As he is about to tear down the pamphlet, he noticed something on the cover of it. "Hmmm? Why is it that there is like a bulging space right here". Mano removed the cover, he was surprised on what he discovered. 

Five golden cards. Each card has the size of a credit or a debit. He check each card one by one. Afterward, he started coughing blood seeing the description of each card in his hands.

The Earth's molten core just exploded. It has been predicted a hundred of years ago. 

Year 2231 - Everheim Online - a VRMMORPG that launched in "The Mother",a humongous spaceship that carry millions of humans is set to depart, traveling to the new Earth-like planet and start over. So while everyone would be in a suspended animation for hundreds of years and with the help of DreamLink Technology, their minds will still function and be preserve even within the game. 

Protagonist Mano, 20 years old age, is just one of the millions of lower class passengers that will be force to live inside the game for centuries. Few hours before "The Sleep", a girl handed him a pamphlet containing cheat codes and walkthroughs of Everheim not known to everyone.

An introvert armed with vast knowledge in various MMORPGs, and equipped with the information from the pamphlet. Join Mano, as he prove that life doesn't start with poverty. He will venture to this world!

 "Good or bad, it doesn't matter anymore. I will break the system!"

The legend of the new world is about to rise!

Yanzhou's military turned a deaf ear to all the questions and debates online. They did not concern themselves with the buzz. All they wanted to do was show off their military might to spur on more citizens of Yanzhou to enlist, instead of coming up with other methods.
When the recruitment video was released on the internet and went viral, it brought about a sense of patriotism. Duan Qianji's husband, Hong Lou, also received a commendation during one of the meetings.
Just as people needed clothes, a video required accompanying music. Yanzhou's publicity film could not match up with Rongzhou's military recruitment video might in terms of the equipment and scale shown, but the other continent's recruitment videos were not as memorable, and this was largely due to their inferior soundtrack.
This was the reason companies spent large sums of money to produce custom-made music for their movies, games, and advertisements. The returns were way greater, far more than the average person could imagine.
Yanzhou's military had shown itself in a different light, and Silver Wing Media had benefited from it too.
On the other continents, protectionist measures and censorship were put in place with regard to film, music and other entertainment. Stringent measures were in place to protect the interests of their own continent's entertainment industry. However, the measures only affected commercial items. Yanzhou's recruitment video did not fall under this category. There were no obstacles preventing it from being viewed by anyone.
Silver Wing Media also took the opportunity announce themselves globally. If not for that short four-minute soundtrack in the recruitment video, the series by the virtual idol Polar Light would not have spread so quickly.
The soundtrack spurred on many people from other continents to search for information regarding Polar Light and the "Period of Destruction" series.
Gaining publicity for his work, and at the same time advertising for his wife, Hong Lou was very pleased. This was a win-win situation.
Even Leizhou's own 'God of War' had an increased amount of discussions and attention. Zaro's agent and the rest of Wireless Media grabbed the opportunity and promoted the film with added effort. They even managed to deny "King of Snipers" the award for "Best Movie Soundtrack," and they watched as "King of Snipers" kept dropping points down to a measly eight.
Before the premieres of the two movies, most people were certain that "King of Snipers" would run away with quite a number of awards at Leizhou's biggest movie awards event. However, when "King of Snipers" and "God of War" were simultaneously screened, many people feared that "King of Snipers" would lose the "Best Movie Soundtrack" award.
Everyone knew that a "crappy film" like "God of War" had no way of winning any awards. It was unlikely that Leizhou's Film Association would give the movie any awards, as they felt it was beneath them. However, if they were to award "Best Movie Soundtrack" to "King of Snipers," it would certainly cause an uproar. Many people could tell that Leizhou's Film Association would instead hand over the award to a different movie, hence avoiding the head-to-head clash of soundtracks.
The investors behind "King of Snipers" were raging. After all, the soundtrack was one of the top priorities. They had put in a considerable sum to hire a celebrated band to produce their soundtrack. Yet it had all gone to waste, as their plans for the award were wrecked by that imbecile Zaro.
Some investors had also hired a bunch of professionals to stir and discredit Zaro and his team in the media. However, Zaro hit back with a public interview.
"Yes. We may be smelly dogshit. But even a pile of dogshit has its merits. Putting in so much effort on a comprehensive effort to discredit Wireless Media is a despicable means. Rather, that effort could have been put to a self-reflection of your flaws and faults and finding out where you went wrong. Just being arrogant everyday and you expect to be the undisputed best?"
For all those that criticized "God of War" and said that the ones who enjoyed "God of War" were handicapped, Zaro shredded them. "Just watching and criticizing a movie makes you feel all superior? If you're that capable, why not join the military and embark on a trip to search for new resources?"
Zaro was not afraid of any criticism. No matter how vicious the comments were, he paid no heed. This "crappy film" he had starred in had a soundtrack that had denied the other side an award. Although not being able to compete in terms of box office sales, ratings, or awards, denying them the "Best Movie Soundtrack" award was satisfactory and made him happy. It was a heroic deed. He deserved a raise!
Zaro's agent was equally ecstatic. Not just because they had managed to deny the award but because the film had broken even and made a profit of more than 60 million! Purely profits!
The revenue might be a small matter in other companies in the film industry, but given Zaro's tendency to splash out cash to make a crappy movie, the target every time was to break even. This time around, after deducting the expenses, promotion fees, and salaries, they had profited more than 60 million! This was a tremendous improvement. Once in awhile, Zaro's agent wondered if it would have been even better had they managed to secure the rights to "Mission." Although he would quickly forget about it and shift it to the back of his mind.
In Yanzhou.
Fang Zhao paid no mind to the happenings in the global entertainment circle, instead leading his team to work. Even if Duan Qianji had not said anything, he had already decided to complete production for the fourth movement before Memorial Day so the entire team could have a long and relaxing Memorial holiday.
Since the rights to the third movement already belonged to Yanzhou's recruitment video, for the masses, they could only listen to the third movement by viewing the video online. Television stations, studios, advertising companies, etc. were not authorized to play it. Doing so would be an infringement and the offending party would have to go to court.
The rights of the third movement had been sold to the Yanzhou military for its use in their recruitment video. Yet Silver Wing Media did not receive a single cent, because Duan Qianji knew that, no matter how much the military offered, it would not even come close to what Zaro was willing to pay. Instead, she used the rights of the song to exchange for other benefits. Some were for the benefit of the entire Silver Wing Media and some were specifically just for Fang Zhao.
Fang Zhao was giving Pang Pusong some vocal coaching when he was summoned by Duan Qianji to the top floor office.
"I have two issues I wish to speak to you about." Instead of having her assistants inform Fang Zhao, she chose to speak with Fang Zhao personally, as it was important.
"The first matter. Yanzhou Millitary's recruitment video's global circulation brought a lot of attention to the third movement." Duan Qianji opened a projection and showed Fang Zhao a screenshot of an online discussion.
Now that the third movement had garnered much reputation, more people realized that they did not understand the lyrics of a portion of the song.
"Does anyone know what it is? What language is it?"
"Preliminary investigations have shown that it is some sort of ancient language. Possibly from an era before the end of days. We need someone to shed light on the matter."
"Anyone online who has studied linguistics? Please explain!"
…
What Duan Qianji showed Fang Zhao was an online discussion where people from every continent discussed the lyrics, and it was even picked up by the media.
Many people who studied music knew that songs were mostly expressed in a few globally fashionable languages. Just that, when the languages mixed and got complicated, it was harder to understand the meaning of the song. Thus, not many people would actually try to decipher the meanings behind the many languages.
Still, no matter how many languages were used, there still existed music that was beyond the control of languages—using an unknown language to convey the song. To put it bluntly, it was self-created musical language.
This sort of language on its own had no significance. Normally, it would just be for the sake of complementing the melody. Alternatively, it could be some sort of ancient language that had died out. No matter the reason, it would not be able to clearly express much. But it could convey the feelings that the artist had in mind.
Whatever the reason, when nobody could figure it out, the remaining option was to ask the composer himself. This was the question on the minds of internet users of every continent.
Previously, Duan Qianji had not paid much attention. She had felt that with regards to Fang Zhao's composition, lyrics were secondary. The composition was what attracted people. Therefore, she did not find any issue with the lyrics and hence paid no heed. It was only after the lyrics generated much buzz on the internet that it caught her attention.
"The company plans to keep this matter under tight wraps to deal with the matter. Therefore, whatever the meaning of the third movement, please do not divulge any information. For the time being, do not give an explanation online regarding the lyrics of the third movement," Duan Quanji emphasized in a serious tone.
"Don't worry about it." Fang Zhao laughed as he continued, "Even I do not know what it means."
'...' Duan Qianji thought to herself, Is he messing with me?!
"I heard it before and felt that it suited this part, so I decided to use it. As for the meaning, I can't help you there," Fang Zhao said.
After the end of days, many dialects and languages went extinct. When Fang Zhao had been composing the score, he remembered the words and sounds he'd heard during the all-out war. Some were farewells to family and friends, and others were the roars of battle cries. The people they came from no longer existed. Fang Zhao did not know what they meant, but when he was composing, the words came to him as he was writing the score. Thus, during recording, he then instructed Pang Pusong on how to sing them.
Duan Qianji just stared at Fang Zhao, seemingly finding it hard to speak.
She had no way of understanding what went through the mind of a talented and eccentric artist.
Perhaps only such a person could produce such astonishing music.
"Cough… That's settled, then. Now for the second matter." Duan Qianji scrutinized the expressions on Fang Zhao's face as she said, "'Mission' belonged to Silver Wing Media and the rights were given to Yanzhou Military's publicity division; we did not charge them a single cent."
Although the matter of entrusting the rights of the third movement to the military had already been discussed with Fang Zhao and he had given his approval, Duan Qianji still felt the need to explain the situation clearly to Fang Zhao. From the looks of it, Fang Zhao was still young and might not have thought things through and instead held back his misgivings. Duan Qianji did not want such a promising talent to the company harboring any doubts.
"Of course, it was not entirely free, in a sense. We managed to obtained quite a bit of privileges, some that cannot be bought." Duan Qianji watched Fang Zhao's expression and behavior closely as she spoke. Yet from the start, Fang Zhao had projected an image of cool and calm, as if the two were just engaged in idle gossip.
Duan Quanji had been overthinking things. Fang Zhao was not really fazed by this matter. He had already given his approval. All he had wanted was for the few compositions of his to see the light of day. Profit-wise, it was just not as great as the previous installments.
Also, Fang Zhao believed that, as a business person, Duan Quanji knew best how to receive the most profit. Thus, he was not worried about losing out. Duan Quanji would also not have any shortage of cash, and receiving privileges, as she'd mentioned, could not be bought easily.
"There are some things that I am not liable to tell you, but I can tell you this." Duan Quanji chuckled. "Other than privileges, I took the opportunity to obtain ten positions for you. Military positions."
In the New Era, there were some things that were unavoidable. Military conscription was one. There were different types of soldiers, different divisions, and different vocations. Some would be assigned to a certain squadron and sent to a remote planet to mine for resources, whereas other positions might require doing simple administrative work in a city without the need for active duty.
Duan Qianji saw that this had piqued Fang Zhao's interest and continued, "I have checked up on the Polar Light production team. The others completed their military service during their time at university. Fang Zhao, only you have not completed the mandatory service. When you decide to enlist, you can select a posting they have given—pick one that has rather light duties and even lets you stay in Qi'an. During that one year of military service, you can continue to compose your music without many disturbances. Of these types of postings, I have obtained ten!"
This was her preferential treatment toward Fang Zhao and a chance to do him a favour.


"Every time background music plays in my head, I feel like there is nothing to be afraid of." —Fang Zhao
Toward the end of the apocalyptic period, Fang Zhao lost his life. However, instead of dying, he found himself 500 years later in the body of a young and aspiring composer who shared the same name. Having received a second chance at life, Fang Zhao sets out to achieve the previous owner's dreams.
Armed with the experience of living through an apocalyptic age and his profession as a composer before that period, Fang Zhao uses his talent, wits, and knowledge to make his mark in the entertainment industry of the future.

"So what are Shadi's results? What did he dig up," Dara asked, wiping his hands.

"There's something else to work on, but I think I found one of the cities lost on the Silk Road, it's located just in the Pistachovy Mountains, this is the village town of Bashtepa. Which translates as Head Fortification, Head Fort. Known at least from the end of the 4th century BC. It was located in a mountain gorge. It functioned until the 15th century ... and then it lost its importance in trade with China and everyone left it ... we searched for a long time and could not determine exactly his place ... until we compared the data from satellite imagery and the map we compiled on historical manuscripts of the 12th and 10th centuries, the Arab scholar Narhashi mentioned this village.

Only recently, we were able to determine his place. Let's go there next week! We will conduct geophysical and archaeological research "with a feverish gleam in the eye of the crucified Shady.

"It's great to go and follow! Discover the long-lost! Pull the past story out of the ground!"

"Lucky for you, Bro!" Dependently said Dara.

Shady was fortunate that he wiped his youth upstart and would be glad that, unlike his cousin, he would continue to do science and not go into business with his head!

Dara, in his own way, was happy for his cousin, although he envied him a little that science brings both the joy of creativity and money. But for this you had to work a lot with your head. and Dara did not want to once again rummage through dusty archives, the Institute of manuscripts, climb into collections and libraries, sit in cold rooms. Earn yourself a stomach ulcer and hemra. It was clearly not worth it! It's much more interesting to trade and farm ...

Although, here ... nothing has been done so far with the farm ... you need to go back and work, stop messing around, it's already the tenth day of sowing work on your nose, and the horse probably didn't roll around on the farm ... that is, there were no works I'll sow ... but there were a lot of plans! I thought feverishly of Dara.

His thoughts were interrupted by the cry of Aunt Feruzeh ... "Hey, why are you dreaming ... everyone is already sitting at the table, you are delaying everyone ... let's eat!"

During the meal, everyone was talking animatedly about how they had gone, what to bring, how much they had bought, how much they would be selling, and where? What is the future profit?

In the East, a typical conversation to start a conversation is market prices, supermarket prices, price differences, profits, what and where who grows, what is the yield from macaws, what fertilizers are used, who and where works, how much they receive. Are there any new opportunities, is it possible to jointly conduct business. Even if it's not necessary, but then, you can share these news with your neighbors and they will share some other more or less useful information. So there is an information exchange of news, information, new acquaintances and connections appear. Which you can then use to find a good therapist, or a locksmith, a master at the bottom of a dishwasher, or a math teacher, Ph.D., genius vego for $ 5 at 1 hour, a tutor. So exchanging information people live in the East building horizontal connections. Filling with the necessary contacts.

Now, Dara understood this, this is an important lesson, for him, and doing his business, business!

Aunt Feruzeh, it was not in vain that he told him to give gifts to neighbors. And the neighbors are not ordinary professors, scientists, important businessmen, their wives and granddaughters are placed on healthy food. A great opportunity for free advertising and patronage, and maybe protection for his farm store. Will not be superfluous ...

It will be necessary to give a couple of samples of "Probes" to them, so that they understand the charm of the new "online store" that opens!

The second version. 

Agriculture is a very interesting activity. Like the sale of products. Not to mention the cooking, healing cooking. The development of tourism. 


All this will be in this novel. Perhaps the continuation of the first novel, but not a fact.

What is the story about? The story of a graduate student who decided to become a farmer. He sold his apartment and started to run his business with the money he received. Farm, online shop, farm shop. Decided to sell organic food.

Who is this guy? Former student of the Faculty of History. His relatives are historians and artisans, scientists. Great-grandfather Farmer. Grandfather - oriental sweets manufacturer. His ancestor ... Dara is the hero of another novel "'Jiang' Magic Coin" ...

What happens to him? He finds magic coins that have already become a magic entity, he has an all-powerful system. The main character does not immediately use it ...

Why should I care? It is interesting. But not at once. Not from the first pages, there is interesting historical information, there is an understanding of everyday life, traditions, oriental subtleties of doing business.

Almost reality but in a fantastic wrapper.

Pros - good content, many different historical facts about the Silk Road, Eastern Trade, Household reflections on politics and economics, there are interesting ideas for organizing your own business in tourism and farming.

Cons - bad form, that is, the text of the novel is rough, grammar and syntax is lame. There are mistakes.

Stability of Updates - 4 stars (3-4 times per week from 500 to 3000 words for one chapter)

Story Development - 4 stars

World Background - 3 stars

Overall result: Who wants to learn new things about farming and about the world after the Cold War, who is interested in the first place content, can be sure that he/she will not waste his/her time in vain.

Whoever likes the good form of the syllable, he/she can immediately leave, having pulled his hat, striking his/her horse sideways with spurs, plunge into the depths of the prairie.

don't read this I'm just spamming some shit for a badge

After half an hour, Ren Han and I came back from "buying soy sauce", and the situation at home was quite different.

Although Can Can's face still looked out of sorts, but from Xiao Xiao's silly satisfied smile, the crisis has already been relieved, and this month's bonus is saved, Amitabha. We were having a warm and harmonious dinner until an annoying phone call came.

At that time, I was kissing up to Demon king Ren with a chicken leg when the loud ringing tone rang, Ren Han looked at the phone screen, frowned and picked up the phone, "En, en, yeah yeah." After that then the disconnected tone of hanging up sounded out, but judging from his overcast expression, there definitely must be some issue.

When Xiao Xiao saw it, he joked, "It seems that this chicken leg cannot be eaten anymore, it will be better to give it my family's Can Can." After saying, he really impolitely grabbed the chicken leg and eagerly and attentively put it into Can Can's bowl.

Can Can on hearing those words immediately became a steam engine and scolded, "Get lost~ Who wants your chicken leg? Also, who is your family's Can Can?"

"Oh? Isn't it? Didn't we get married half a year ago when we reached the upper level of the game? Now, you still have the title of 'Xiao Xiao Yi Feng's wife on top of your head."

"You really have no sense of shame. Yesterday while I was working overtime, you actually went to restore the marriage by yourself."

　　......

Can Can and Xiao Xiao, this young couple still have a harmonious bickering couple atmosphere. I sat on the side biting my chopsticks. Demon King Ren's expression looked even more unsightly when put beside this couple's pink atmosphere, I tried asking who called on the phone, and the response was also a cold glance. I have a hunch that after Can Can and Xiao Xiao leave, it will be very moody. When I escorted the young couple out, I deliberately pulled Xiao Xiao and asked about the situation, he was startled and started cold sweating.

Originally, the French Missouri winery recently planned to enter into the Chinese market, and have signed into a partnership with a domestic agent to distribute. The next step, was for the Chinese wine distributor is naturally to seek media cooperation and vigorously promote their wine. Such a gold mine, everyone in the industry wants to pounce and get a bite. Coincidentally, Xiao Xiao and the Chinese agent have a partnership, and so he got some information and passed it along to Ren Han. Demon King Ren naturally would not let go of such a good opportunity, which led to the journalist department staking out in a car for more than two weeks, and finally worked out a perfect plan, and were waiting for the the Winery's CEO, Sophie to come to China to finalize the advertising deal, in the end...there was the traffic accident.

After listening to that, I was sweating and pulling my ears down, "So, is this advertising deal ruined?" Other than Ren Han, there are still other people in the Journalism department, right? Even if Ren Han falls, they should also still be able to continue discussing the contract, right?

Can Can pat my shoulder and sighed, "I have also heard some things on this matter. I heard that this Sophie person is very picky. Since they have been discussing business with Ren Han, when the person suddenly changed, she didn't accept it. S1ime also explained to her that Ren Han had a traffic accident, but she did not seem to believe it, and felt that it was our magazine company not taking this business deal seriously." 

Xiao Xiao nodded and added, "That woman is also very arrogant, and that Idiot Ren has also been feeling vexed about the injury, he was originally supposed to pick up Sophie that afternoon. In the end, it was not done and Sophie criticized the company of not attaching importance to the deal. Later, that idiot went to with his crutched to the hotel find her once, and was also rejected."

"Just drop dead! Who is this woman?"

I was stunned, and couldn't imagine the venerable Demon king has been cruelly rejected by a client. If it was before, I would have been very happy hearing the news, but now hearing this I cannot laugh at all. Although I am not from the Journalism department, I also know that the Journalism department has been very busy for the last weeks, just to plan out this big business; even if I'm not in management, just thinking about it on my toes, I can guess and understand the amount of money riding on this advertising business. It must be big, very big, but now because of me...it's all gone.

With all this in mind, I suddenly thought of a well-known legend in the business circle. A senior editor made a mistake and added a "former" in front of the leader's position, which directly changed it from "XX Chairman" to "XX former Chairman", which caused a great stir. The magazine company closed down, and dozens of people were collectively left unemployed because of this one person's mistake. I heard the female editor never showed her face in this city again and returned to her hometown.

When I first arrived at the company, the Big Boss liked to talk about this matter to educate and intimidate me. When I listened to it at that time, I used to think it was just made-up story. Now, I have a deep understanding of the feeling of that female editor. If the company loses this single business, it is not just tens of thousands, it is very likely to be in the millions, which means that the company's employee year-end bonus may collectively drop by 20%, like this, does it not seem like I am a great sinner? So, how do I face my colleagues in the company?

I only know now that Ren han not looking for me after the accident to settle the account was to protect me. If the Big Boss knows about that I am the chief culprit in the car accident, right now the squid would have been sauteed and fried already. Ren Han did not express his discontent was actually protecting me in disguise, I didn't know about it and was hiding from him. Thinking about it, my whole body couldn't help but feel unwell.

I asked, "Who do you think called just now? Sophie?"

Xiao Xiao shook his head, "It was probably someone from the Journalism department. I heard from a customer that now your rival magazine now knows about the news that Sophie came to China. If I guessed correctly, they have heard that Idiot Ren got injured and are taking advantage of this gap to curry favor with Sophie and are getting ready to finalize the advertising deal for themselves."

Can Can blinked, "So, the phone call must have been from S1ime, and must have been reporting to Ren han about the opponent magazine, right?"

Xiao Xiao pursed his lips, "Very likely." Then he paused and looked at Can Can and smiled, "You are so smart, definitely worthy of me."

"Give~I~ get lost ~"

　　-_-|||

I ignored these two childish people, and began to think deeply: Maybe, I really need to wash the demon's toilet for a lifetime to settle this account.

　　-------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------

In the evening, I waited for the demon to sleep, quietly turned on the computer in the living room and went online, and as expected, S1ime was online.

[Editor Bai Ning]: S1ime, are you there? I want to ask you something.

[Journalist S1ime]:?

[Editor Bai Ning]: I want to ask which hotel Sofie lives in.

The information has been posted for a long time, but there was no response. I was fidgeting and thinking about it. The phone in my bag vibrated, when I opened it, it was actually S1ime calling.

"Hey."

 S1ime's voice sounded a little unpleasant and directly asked, "What do you want her address for?"

"Hello," I looked towards Ren Han's bedroom, I was afraid that Ren Han could hear it and walked to the balcony, "I heard that she is a French beauty and want to see it."

S1ime snorted, "Bai Ning, give up. You are thinking to make VP Ren happy, don't be so naive, do you think that this is a novel? When you go to Sophie after a while, she will be touched by you and then promise to cooperate with our company? VP Ren will then see you in a new light? And you suddenly become Cinderalla?"

I was speechless, why is it that the more I listened to S1ime's words, the more I felt like it resembled the melodramas of two women vying for the same husband, I pouted, "I know that I am not Cinderella." I am a famous cottage princess of high society, and still not comparable to Cinderella.

"Don't go there and cause more trouble. VP Ren showed up in his wheelchair and could not impress her. Do you think you're going to save a million-dollar advertising deal by clinging to her thigh?"

"I- -" I hadn't finished talking yet when S1ime hung up the phone, and there was the depressing "beep" sound. I miserably grabbed my hair and frowned, wondering who else would know where Sophie was staying, and was preparing to flip through the business card folder, and then I heard a QQ notification.

[Journalist S1ime]: Soufei Grand Hotel, room D703

[Journalist S1ime]: She is flying back to France tomorrow at 11:30pm tomorrow, so...If you want to go beg, hurry up!

The corners of my mouth broke into a smile, this woman is really double-mouthed, after scolding me for being naive. Who knew that the fact that she reads online novels would be caught by me. So we all believe that there can be miracles. Nevertheless, there are some things that you have to try so you don't regret it~

Thank you so much!! (✿^з^)☆


Zhang Zian was busy the whole day and now it was almost time for him to go to bed. 
Zhang Zian had been exhausted throughout the day, but now that he knew the elves' lives could be extended, his tiredness vanished completely. However, he hadn't told the news to Old Time Tea or the other elves yet. As Pi had said, it wasn't the right time. If he hastily told the news to everyone, they would be too expectful. The reality might be too disappointing. For that reason, they might as well not know about it in the first place. 
Even if the lifetime of the elves really could be extended infinitely, the elves had to go through an extremely difficult process to do so. Judging from Pi's stern expression as it read the untitled book, Zhang Zian figured that this may be his biggest challenge and trial since he downloaded the Pet Hunter game.
Although he couldn't understand the untitled book, whether it was the Hyperwebster Dictionary, The Book of Sand, or a fantasy book from another civilization in the universe, he was still very grateful for it. Without it, he wouldn't have found out about such reassuring and hopeful news.
The elves had fallen asleep, one after the other. Before going to sleep, Richard had been very active that night, as if everything put him in a good mood. Zhang Zian had to hang it upside down to calm it down. 
When everyone was in bed, Pi was still sitting in front of the computer, typing away.
"Pi, did the noise bother you?" Zhang Zian came over and asked. He knew how annoying Richard and Snowy Lionet were.
Pi shook its head no.
"Well, we're all going to bed now. Please go to sleep as soon as you finish writing." Zhang Zian brought over a small desk lamp. The lamp light was turned away from the bedroom, so it wouldn't affect anyone's sleeping.
He didn't plan on telling Pi what he was doing later, because he wasn't sure whether he would be successful or not. He didn't want Pi to be disappointed after giving it so much hope. 
Pi grinned and nodded.
Zhang Zian glanced at the elves again. After confirming that each elfin was in its correct place, he turned off the ceiling light. 
With the light from the desk lamp and his own nightlight, he laid on his bed and stared at the ceiling, listening to Pi type. He thought about the elves' lives for a while, and then thought about the situation of Uncle Li's diner. He tried to allow all of his thoughts to occupy his mind and keep himself from falling asleep.
About an hour later he heard a click, and the fan noise from the laptop disappeared. Pi turned off the desk lamp and the room grew darker. It climbed into the basket hammock chair to go to sleep.
Zhang Zian kept his eyes open for a while, and almost fell asleep. He pinched his thighs to keep himself awake. 
He looked up and guessed that Pi had already fallen asleep. Then, he grabbed his cell phone by his pillow and opened the Qidian app.
That day, as he watched Pi write, he had secretly browsed the Internet on his cell phone, trying to find out what the amazing reading lists were.
After he finished researching, he knew that reading lists were an important supplement to the Official Recommendation Spots from the Qidian website. A reading list was created by an individual, who would list his or her favorite books and the reasons why they would recommended those books on their list. If other readers agreed with the owner's suggestions, they would start following the creator of the list. The reading list owners were similar to bloggers who reviewed digital products on video websites, and the digital products recommended by bloggers tended to receive more attention. Some reading list owners even had tens of thousands of followers. 
After careful searching, Zhang Zian discovered that the reading list owners were roughly divided into two categories. One type introduced and reviewed each book in great length, while the other kind of reading list owners introduced each book with only one sentence. The former type attracted much more followers than the latter. After all, through the detailed evaluations and introductions, the readers could tell that the reading list owners had put in a lot of work into every book. 
That day, he had mentally noted the reading list owners' IDs who wrote long book reviews and then went to the comment sections of their lists. He first ruled out the most popular reading list owners, because in their comment sections, numerous authors or authors who pretended to be readers were promoting their own books. Those reading list owners wouldn't be able to read all the books being recommended to them, even if they tried to read 24 hours a day.
As for the reading list owners that attracted fewer followers, their comment sections were basically empty. It wouldn't be helpful for Zhang Zian to advertise Pi's novel in those lists. 
After more research, he targeted a reading list owner who had the tenth most followers. The ID name of the reading list owner was Morning Gorilla Star, who was mentioned by the author of Diplomats of the Underworld. 
Morning Gorilla Star had written down his requirements about posting advertisements in his comment: Do not copy and paste your ads. I will promote urban novels that have no or only one female protagonist.
Zhang Zian felt relieved when he read these requirements. He was extremely popular with women, and many cute girls were desperately hoping to be his girlfriend. Pi had just hidden this fact while writing the novel based on the life in Zhang Zian's pet shop. Therefore, Pi's novel had managed to meet Morning Gorilla Star's requirements.
Advertising was like sending resumes to hiring managers. The key points of the novel must be written as concisely as possible. What was the highlight of Pi's novel? It certainly wasn't that the protagonist didn't have a girlfriend! 
He typed on his phone: Can I promote my own book? The title of the book is Pet King. The protagonist, who is the owner of a pet shop, downloads a game that can capture elves. Together with the elves, he witnesses the growth of the pet shop. There is no female protagonist in this book. 
He thought it over and added "Currently" in front of the sentence, "There is no female protagonist in this book." Then, he satisfyingly clicked the "Send" button.
After sending the message, Zhang Zian repeatedly refreshed the comment section and anxiously waited for a reply from the reading list owner, just like a job seeker who was constantly refreshing emails and nervously waiting for replies after sending out his resume. Zhang Zian had read the books recommended by Morning Gorilla Star, and all the books were well-written. Perhaps Morning Gorilla Star wouldn't think Pi's novel was good enough. However, Zhang Zian hoped that Morning Gorilla Star, who had read countless books, could at least tell him why Pi's novel failed to be recommended by him. In that case, Zhang Zian could help Pi revise the novel. Zhang Zian was acting like a job seeker who was close to starving to death and desperately needed a job, whatever the job was, to feed himself.
Since it was nearly one o'clock in the morning, the owner had probably gone to bed already. Watching his comment drowning in other comments from authors promoting their own books, Zhang Zian couldn't help but sigh in dismay.
Perhaps he sighed too loud, because Zhang Zian heard a squeaking sound come from the hammock chair. It sounded like Pi had turned over.
He locked his phone screen and waited a little longer. He didn't unlock his phone until there wasn't any more sounds coming from the chair.
What should he do?
He was very sleepy. Should he wait till the reading list owner woke up and try advertising again? 
No, he shouldn't wait. Tomorrow, Pi would receive its first Minor Recommendation Spot. If its novel failed to be ranked in the top three or top four spots, it might never have a chance to receive a recommendation again.
With that thought, he decided to advertise on another reading list. Advertising was just like begging, and as long as he could swallow his pride now, he would gradually become thick-skinned. 
This time, he lowered his expectations by moving his attention from the reading list owners with tens of thousands of followers to ones with hundreds of followers, hoping that some of them hadn't fallen asleep yet.
Zhang Zian noticed that there was one whose ID was Yang Chenkong. In his reading list, Yang Chenkong wrote reviews with thousands of words for each book and offered many thoughtful insights. However, Yang Chenkong only had a mere 3,000 followers. Would it really be useful to advertise in this list?
Zhang Zian desperately went to the comment section. To his surprise, he saw that this reading list owner was still online, discussing his opinions with his friends about a certain book. 
Zhang Zian hadn't read the book that they were talking about. However, from reading their conversation, Zhang Zian felt as if he had read it and learned about its successes and failures. From observing, Zhang Zian could tell that Yang Chenkong was very professional. 
For some reason, the comment section of his reading list was blank and had no advertisements. Zhang Zian chuckled to himself. He could take advantage of this rare opportunity to advertise. 
There were some basic rules of advertising for all reading lists. Unlike like people who put advertisements in bathrooms,  book-promoting advertisements couldn't be randomly posted. Each reading list owner had different requirements for advertisements. For example, Morning Gorilla Star had explicitly stated that he would only recommend novels with no or one female protagonist. Yang Chenkong, however, had a wide range of book choices. Except for supernatural novels, Yang Chenkong basically read every genre. 
However, the most difficult thing was that the list owner didn't specify which book genres he would recommend, and Zhang Zian didn't know how to cater to his preferences. After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Zian rewrote the message that he had sent to Morning Gorilla Star. He deleted the sentence "Currently, there is no female protagonist in this book." He added, "Feel free to read the sample chapters, but don't blame me if you're poisoned (Translator's Note: Read and Poison sound the same in Chinese)," hoping that his self-deprecating tone would draw Yang Chenkong's attention. 
After clicking "Send", he was too tired to repeatedly refresh the comment section as he did before. It was almost half past one in the morning, and he would need to get up early that day.
Putting down his cell phone, Zhang Zian lay down flat on the bed. Soon, he was half-awake and half-asleep, and he would completely fall asleep at any moment. 
In the darkness, Pi had been watching him the whole time. It had barely moved, except to slightly change its posture after its legs started to get numb.
Pi had always known about Zhang Zian's actions. It could tell from Zhang Zian's exhaustion. 
Since Zhang Zian was so tired, it wouldn't matter if he did these things later, right?
Pi opened its mouth and silently imitated the shape of someone saying "thank you."
What?
Zhang Zian thought he heard something. It seemed like someone was talking to him. He barely could open his eyes. His drowsiness was as heavy as a mountain, pressing down on his eyelids.
He looked around and found nothing out of the ordinary. He unlocked his phone screen and saw that it was past two in the morning. 
Since he hadn't logged out from the Qidian app yet, he clicked open Yang Chenkong's comment section, the second reading list owner he advertised on that night, hoping to find Yang Chenkong's review on Pi's novel. However, he found no review, and saw that the advertisement he had posted was gone.
No wonder the comment section was so empty. As it turned out, Yang Chenkong deleted all of the advertisements in his comment section. Zhang Zian's efforts were again all in vain. 
He couldn't keep his eyes open anymore. He shoved his cell phone under his pillow and fell asleep.
