Genshin Impact: Funina's Official Pastry Chef

Chapter 623 Chang Ming: Taking risks with you is like being in prison

Under An's leadership, everyone soon arrived near the "Magic Fountain" in the Narcissus Cross Kingdom.

Looking at the surging fountain in front of her, Funina's beautiful eyes widened slightly, as if she was a little... surprised by the surging blue fountain in front of her.

After all, in her opinion, the little cabbage had carried all the water directly up not long ago, but the water here... didn't seem to be affected.

This still took her by surprise.

However, this was not the only thing that surprised her.

She turned her head slightly and saw a...wild boar? It was panting beside the fountain.

"Uh... the members of the Narcissus Cross Adventure Group seem to look... rather unique?"

The corners of Chang Ming's mouth twitched involuntarily, and a strange expression that seemed to be unable to be suppressed appeared on his face.

At this moment, the wild boar that had just been looking them up and down suddenly began to move towards where they were.

Its nose twitched as if it was a puppy sniffing everyone's scent.

But when An saw this scene, her pupil-less eyes suddenly widened and she shouted:

"Morrie, no!"

"...?"

Paimeng looked at An who suddenly shouted with some surprise, then looked at the wild boar in front of him who was constantly sniffing with its nose, and an expression of incomprehension appeared on his face.

However, the next second, An's worries became reality.

The wild boar named Mori suddenly raised its head, with a hint of ferocity in its eyes.

"Woof woof! Bad guy!"

Before everyone could react to what was happening, Mori dug the ground with all four legs, assumed an attacking posture unique to wild boars, and rushed towards everyone.

"...Tsk."

Chang Ming uttered a dissatisfied sound, then flipped his hand and shot out a purple-black lightning, instantly stopping Mori who was about to charge.

"Wang!"

However, Mori did not stop his attacking intention because of Chang Ming's warning, but continued to dig the ground under his feet and rushed towards where he was standing.

"It's obviously a wild boar, why does it have to make the sound of a dog?"

Chang Ming shook his head helplessly. He knew that he should not have any expectations for this divine adventure group and should have recognized this fact early on.

Then, he sighed helplessly, and drew the ceremonial sword from his waist. Just when he was about to use overwhelming combat power to resolve this misunderstanding...

"Bad dogs! Stupid! They are good people! They are our friends!"

Another rebuke from An made Mori in front of him quiet down instantly. He raised his head in a daze, glanced at An floating beside Chang Ming, then looked at Chang Ming who was ready to attack. He was a little confused for a moment.

"Hey... you Narcissus Cross Adventure Group are really..."

Chang Ming sighed helplessly, and then began to plan in his mind how to bypass these guys and go directly to Rene.

To be honest, he was a little glad that he was not an adventurer, otherwise...

Going on adventures with this gang is like being in jail.

Oh, this brain-damaged platform... Actually, I have always been reluctant to say these words, but you can't always let me take the blame, right?

Contract content

So I will tell you why I chose to publish my new book on other platforms, and why there has been no updates recently.

The story begins with a major earthquake in the online literature circle last June.

At that time, Tomato launched Doubao AI, and in order to train this AI, they secretly added an "AI training agreement" to the contracts of all Tomato authors.

The general meaning is this: as long as you want to make money from books, you have to sign a contract with me. After signing the contract, I will unconditionally feed your books to AI, and you, the author, will not even have the right to resist.

Regarding this matter, Tomato chose to play dead and got through it bit by bit.

But soon, the boomerang came.

Tomato chose to feed all the books in his library to AI, hoping to use AI to replace the position of online writers, so that he doesn't have to spend money (his true nature is exposed)

But what he did not expect was that at the beginning of this year, the emergence of deepseek caused AI articles to begin to flood here.

How widespread is the flood? In October last year, the most debuted day was only 1000 books, while in January this year, there were nearly 4000 books.

This is a free platform, and authors make money by taking advantage of traffic, but the overall traffic is limited, so there are too many people and too little resources, and real authors are suffering.

That’s why I chose to put my new book on other platforms instead of here, because I can’t get the maximum benefit here.

After that, the boomerang from half a year ago came back again, because there were too many AI articles, and AI articles looked a bit shitty at first glance, so these AI articles became the source of pollution in the database.

Well, you shot yourself in the foot.

As for the lack of updates every now and then, I can say that in order to prevent AI articles, Tomato has enabled facial verification for most authors, and you have to pass it before you can publish a chapter.

Before facial verification, you have to sign the supplementary terms of the AI ​​deletion agreement, which is commonly known as the supplementary contract.

Then, something even more interesting happened. The verification phone number for this supplementary agreement was a phone number I hadn’t used for a long time, so I went to ask customer service what was going on.

Because I was still at level 5 last month, I have my own customer service, and I reported the matter to them. However, it was not until yesterday that I received a text message asking me to sign a supplementary contract again.

There was a week in between and I had no time to post any chapters, so it has been delayed until now.

There is a lot more that the censors are not letting me say, so I won’t say it. In short, this is probably the current situation.

It's very troublesome and makes me sick, but I have to keep writing for the completeness of the work. Fortunately, I won't have to go through this defense after I finish this book.
