Meanwhile, the reversal of the Li Hong incident spread through these reporters.
Now, Li Hong was truly on fire!
The Review Section of Breaking Through the Sky was now overcrowded.
“Thunder Tower is outrageous! Refund!”
“Give me my money back! Return my leader's funds!”
“Shameless thief, return my hard-earned money!”
The entire review section was filled with refund requests for Breaking Through the Sky, and notably, those posting these reviews were the Rich Gamers who had previously tipped Li Hong.
The Rich Gamers were heartbroken; they had thought this person was going to jail, so they tipped him as a way to express their admiration.
But who could have imagined that it was all a misunderstanding?
“Misunderstanding my foot, give me my money back, Soulmate!”
In contrast to the frantic Rich Gamers, the onlookers seemed much calmer.
“Is this book Breaking Through the Sky really that good? Even Carmillon likes it?”
“With all due respect, there must be some dirty pay-for-play transactions involved!”
Pai Pai Zhang: “Upstairs +1, no pay-for-play and I’ll stream Cao Dog.”
Adorable Dog: "Who wants Cao Wo? I'm here!"
"......"
Many people felt as if they had been struck by lightning, including Chalk White's die-hard fan, A Box of Chalk.
Breaking Through the Sky had been pursued for a long time; in their eyes, it was a book that could not be missed.
Having written four to five million words, it had now concluded with subscriptions still under 100, a truly dismal situation.
Although they were among the few fans of Breaking Through the Sky, they did not believe the book deserved a film adaptation. If they felt this way, one could only imagine how indifferent the general public was.
Everyone wanted to see what kind of divine book could attract a world-class director like Carmillon.
Among them were many Deity-level authors. They too wanted to understand why Breaking Through the Sky caught Carmillon's eye.
Thus, driven by this excitement, Li Hong's subscriptions skyrocketed. When Li Hong returned home to check, Breaking Through the Sky had once again climbed to the top of the bestseller list.
Seeing Li Hong's gray profile picture light up, Big Wave Girl quickly sent a pop-up message.
"Ding ding!"
When Li Hong opened Big Wave Girl's message, he saw her text from last night: if you can sell the film rights, I wouldn't mind marrying you.
Li Hong paused for a moment. Did Big Wave Girl really fall for him?
How could my charm, even through a computer screen, influence Big Wave Girl from miles away?
"Don't think too much about it; I like flat chests," Li Hong replied.
Big Wave Girl was left speechless.
Like flat chests? She skeptically scrolled through her chat history with Li Hong. Fortunately, their communication wasn't too extensive, and she quickly found what she was looking for.
Big Wave Girl took a screenshot and sent it to Li Hong.
When Li Hong opened it, his face turned red instantly. The screenshot showed their first conversation.
Li Hong: We're already friends, let's chat!
Big Wave Girl: Why did you submit to me?
Li Hong: Because you have big breasts!
"Okay, what's going on with you?" Seeing that Li Hong had stopped replying, Big Wave Girl hurriedly pressed for an answer.
"What do you mean?" Li Hong was puzzled.
"The film rights for Breaking Through the Sky! Did you reach an agreement with Carmillon?" Big Wave Girl asked nervously, hoping he hadn't made a foolish mistake.
The rights to Breaking Through the Sky were quite valuable.
Li Hong quickly understood what Big Wave Girl was worried about and typed back to explain, "No, I've already asked Carmillon to negotiate with Yuewen."
"That's good, that's good. Don't worry; we at the Website won't harm your interests. Since you secured this copyright all by yourself and it's with Carmillon, we've decided to raise your share to 70%. (I am Editor Butt Brother.)"
Li Hong was taken aback. Was this the Editor? He never expected to attract the Editor's attention.
Raising the revenue share was indeed a good thing; free money should never be turned down. As for a higher percentage, Li Hong didn't dare to think about it, after all, the copyright wasn't in his hands.
However, there was a reason for such generosity from the publisher. In the realm of online film and television rights, adaptation rights were generally more expensive than those for other media. Millions were a normal price, while tens of millions were quite rare. This amount of money was nothing to the publisher. If they could increase the revenue share and win over Li Hong with a bit of money, they were naturally willing to do so.
But Li Hong knew that this price would ultimately exceed one hundred million. That extra percentage could translate into twenty million!
Although he felt a bit embarrassed about squeezing Carmillon for more, Carmillon didn’t mind, and of course, Li Hong wouldn’t refuse.
After negotiating the copyright with the publisher, Li Hong finally began to check his work, Breaking Through the Sky.
Upon looking, Li Hong immediately broke into a wide smile.
He had struck gold; overnight, he gained over a hundred new leaders and more than ten members of the Silver Alliance. That alone amounted to over a hundred thousand, not to mention that the big gains were still coming from subscriptions.
His new subscriptions had reached an astonishing five million.
“Wow, I’m really hitting it big!” Li Hong felt that this was quite a windfall.
Even though he had entered a bit of trouble, he was still making a huge profit.
Opening the Review Section, he ignored all the refund requests from Rich Gamers. These Rich Gamers were just having some fun; the real troublemakers were another group entirely.
With a membership level of ordinary member and extremely low rank, one of them opened their mouth to say, “This book is really trash; it has no logic at all. Carmillon must be blind.”
Logically speaking, Li Hong shouldn’t pay any attention to such trolls. But Li Hong’s way of thinking wasn’t typical; how could he let these people run rampant?
Silencing and deleting, a complete sweep, and a flawless solo kill!
Double kill!
Triple kill!
With a single breath, he silenced over a hundred accounts, and only then did Li Hong feel satisfied.
It wasn't that he couldn't tolerate criticism, but when it came to those who clearly just spewed nonsense, a solo kill was all that was warranted.
If someone wanted to criticize the author, they should point out specific mistakes; mindless rants without any basis were just disruptive.
Especially since these troublemakers didn't even dare to use their main accounts. They registered under random names with no followers—such individuals deserved no explanation for their solo kills.
In fact, Li Hong had another thought: "Why should I care about such trivial matters? Is it wrong for me to feel inflated?"
Indeed, feeling inflated was just like this. He recalled when he was still a novice author, how dedicated he was to those readers. He would add chapters upon request and listen carefully to their complaints.
He chuckled to himself; not giving them a taste of his wrath was already showing mercy.
Of course, this was just Li Hong's daydreaming. After resolving the issues in the Review Section, he began his grand project of transporting literature.
That's right; he had brought over hundreds of thousands of books and documents from the Dou Qi Continent.
Whether it was Martial Arts Techniques, Alchemy Manuals, or even tales of some Demon Emperor's romantic escapades, he had it all.
"Hehe, the moment of witnessing miracles has arrived." Li Hong chuckled as he activated the scanner beside him.
The scanner was an old piece of equipment he had bought from the second-hand market to print contracts. Although it had been gathering dust at home, it was still functional.
He began inputting the secret techniques from the spatial ring into the computer, one by one. Afterward, Li Hong chuckled and uploaded them to the relevant works section.
"Flame Palm"
"Dragon God Technique"
"Introduction to Alchemy"
"My Ridiculous Days with the Flame Emperor"
