Scanning was one thing, but when it came to uploading, Li Hong didn't forget to modify some of the documents.
In Breaking Through the Sky, there was no such thing as fighting spirit; only the concept of pouncing energy existed. However, that was fine—a single word difference. It wasn't too troublesome to replace them using software; all he had to do was change every instance of fighting spirit to pouncing energy.
He uploaded nearly a hundred books from Dou Qi Continent in one go, leaving Li Hong utterly exhausted.
Among these were works like My Ridiculous Days with the Flame Emperor, which were clichéd, as well as manuals like Flame Palm. Of course, the most frequently uploaded material was the Beginner's Guide to Alchemy, a popular science resource on Dou Qi Continent.
Though it seemed like just over a hundred books, the total word count approached ten million. Adding in the time spent on modifications, Li Hong had dedicated more than three hours to this task.
Naturally, Li Hong didn't plan to upload everything at once. With over ten million words related to his works, it was already a daunting presence. If he uploaded more, it would raise suspicions.
As for the remaining materials, Li Hong intended to upload them after some time.
With hundreds of thousands of books and documents on Dou Qi Continent totaling several hundred million words, he had enough content to update continuously for decades.
After shutting down his computer, Li Hong lay down on his bed and fell into a deep sleep. This effort had truly worn him out.
Little did Li Hong know that his uploaded works had already stirred up a massive wave on the platform.
It all began with someone posting a review asking why Breaking Through the Sky was still being updated when it was supposed to be finished. Then a group of people chimed in, insisting that Breaking Through the Sky had already concluded.
But when they refreshed the page, they were left dumbfounded.
The original word count for Breaking Through the Sky was known to be 40,000 words. However, upon refreshing, they discovered that for some unknown reason, that number had ballooned to 160,000 words.
On the update leaderboard, an author named Zhong Er was feeling quite pleased with himself. He had just released a massive update of 100,000 words in one go, propelling him to the top of the leaderboard.
Although the update leaderboard wasn't particularly significant, for someone like Loser, it always provided an extra bit of exposure.
But just as Zhong Er opened his phone to check the leaderboard, he was met with a shocking sight.
His new book, "I Am a Failure," had unexpectedly dropped to second place, while the first place was taken by a book titled "Loser," which he had never heard of before.
"Damn, is there really someone more hardworking than me?" Zhong Er muttered, feeling a bit disgruntled. He planned to check how many words this guy had written and then put in some effort to surpass him.
"…"
Looking up, the dazzling figure of ten million words made Zhong Er's eyes well up with tears.
"Point Lady is acting up again…" Zhong Er murmured to himself.
This wasn't the first time something like this had happened; for example, there was that one month when someone’s votes surged by eight million. Typically, such occurrences were due to Point Lady having a fit.
Thus, Zhong Er refreshed the webpage over and over again, trying to push down that guy named Chalk White from the top spot.
An hour passed…
"What the hell?" Zhong Er was frustrated. What was wrong with Point Lady? Usually, such anomalies would be fixed quickly. Why had it taken so long without any resolution?
So, Zhong Er shared his experience along with screenshots in the Failure Camp and Deaf Space forums.
"Another one gone mad, take him away, next!"
"Stop refreshing; he really did update ten million."
"Yeah, the person above is right. If ten million related works can count as an update, then there's no problem."
"Self-promotion is a disaster!"
"A disaster of self-promotion!"
Zhong Er stared blankly at the reply.
Ten million updates were actually real! How could this be possible!!!
Zhong Er clicked on Breaking Through the Sky, hoping to find answers.
Until he saw the related works that had only partially loaded, tears streamed down his face.
"I’m convinced. A related work of twelve million words, forty thousand words of main text..."
"To be honest, I wasn’t convinced at first, but after glancing at the related work posted by Chalk, I knelt down..."
"Ten million words of background material—no wonder Carmillon bought the rights. Chalk is amazing!"
"Chalk, for ages and eons, unifying the end!"
Li Hong's commotion naturally attracted a crowd. But when they looked at the related works uploaded by Li Hong, they were filled with admiration.
A certain fantasy Deity opened a chapter: "Regarding Chalk White, I initially wasn't convinced. After all, Breaking Through the Sky is such a loser book. But after reading his ten million words of related works, I suddenly felt that this kind of work is something even Carmillon isn’t qualified to direct."
Deity's words resonated with many. Thus, they collectively attributed the reason why Breaking Through the Sky caught Carmillon's attention to these related works.
Such grand related works could completely outline every aspect of an alternate world. If it weren't for Chalk White's poor writing skills, Breaking Through the Sky would undoubtedly be an epic masterpiece.
"Stab stab stab, it's my fault. When I poked you back then..."
The ringtone jolted the drowsy Li Hong awake. He unlocked his screen and saw an unfamiliar number.
Initially adhering to the principle of never answering unknown calls, Li Hong planned to hang up. But then he suddenly thought, could it be Carmillon calling?
As soon as the call connected, the voice of Carmillon came through.
"Hey Li, I've already sent my assistant to discuss the copyright issue with Yuewen Group. We should have results in a couple of days."
"Is it really that quick?" Although he was just a Loser and didn't know much about these matters, Li Hong understood that negotiations like this usually took some time.
"Oh no, it won't take long. I've shown unprecedented sincerity. By the way, do you have any suggestions for the main character?"
"What the hell, are you really going to film Breaking Through the Sky?" Li Hong exclaimed in surprise.
The idea of Breaking Through the Sky was entirely Li Hong's attempt to extort Carmillon. He never expected that Carmillon would actually want to make Breaking Through the Sky.
"That's right. I think Breaking Through the Sky is great and worth my effort. Especially since we have a complete worldview; it's simply fantastic!"
Well, Li Hong couldn't fathom the thoughts of someone like Carmillon. But if he wanted to film it, so be it; after all, it was a Loser book—let him do as he pleased.
"By the way, Li, if we start filming Breaking Through the Sky, I think the Soul Clan will play a significant role," Carmillon continued.
"Soul Clan!"
Li Hong slapped his forehead. Damn it, he had completely forgotten about Soulmate and their group.
In the Dou Qi Continent, within the Soul Realm.
The Soulmate group was carrying a heavy burden, with a water flask hanging from their waist and a kitchen knife in hand. Dressed similarly, they gathered in the square.
Due to the different time ratios, several moments had passed...
The atmosphere was quite awkward, but the members of the Soul Clan were still waiting.
It had been several days...
The situation was quickly spiraling out of Soulmate's control, and the clan members were increasingly convinced that their leader had been deceived.
"Leader, it's not me; you've been tricked!"
"Soul Sphere, keep your mouth shut."
"Yeah, the leader has already been swindled out of money and affection; it's pitiful enough without you blaming him!"
Just as Soulmate was on the verge of a breakdown, a gap opened up, revealing Li Hong's seemingly harmless face.
"Sorry, sorry, Soul Clan Leader, I got held up with something earlier. Sorry to keep you waiting!"
Soulmate twitched at the corner of his mouth. Was this really just waiting? They had been waiting for half a month!
