Stop pretending, I'm a security guard, a five-star general!

After washing up, Qin Yu lay comfortably on the bed, ready to fall asleep.

His life is truly colorful every day.

Drop drop! ! !

However, just as he was about to fall asleep, his phone suddenly started ringing incessantly.

Qin Yu picked up his phone and saw that his Tomato Novel website's author backend had exploded, with countless readers frantically sending him private messages, offering their warm greetings late at night.

"Author Sima, are you asleep? I read your two latest chapters and now I can't sleep at all!"

"You dog of an author, come out here! I promise I won't kill you. Look at what you've written! It's utter nonsense!"

"Yare?! Author, you're really something else! These two latest chapters can't even be called articles anymore, they're more like a dissertation defense! Without exaggeration, my husky with a negative IQ could write something better with just a few scribbles!"

"These two latest chapters have completely blew my mind! In the last chapter, the protagonist Xiao Huo was training in the Monster Forest, and in the next chapter, he suddenly becomes the president of a Fortune 500 company?! And he even pinned his female secretary against the wall?! What kind of brain-dead Mary Sue plot is this?"

"The most outrageous thing is that I could tolerate the protagonist suddenly becoming a CEO, but why the hell did he run off to Yemu Village to become a ninja in the next chapter? And his catchphrase is still 'This is youth!' What, author, are you going to open the Eight Gates for him?"

"I tolerated all of the above, but why the hell did the protagonist end up as the ultimate villain, only to be utterly destroyed by some guy who suddenly appeared out of nowhere and called himself Emperor Mao?!"

"Author, you're amazing! I'm a bookworm of over ten years, and I thought I was immune to all kinds of reading, but this time you really poisoned me to death!"

"..."

Seeing the screen full of warm greetings, Qin Yu was completely dumbfounded.

He then suddenly realized that when he assigned the task to Liu Damao and the others, he only remembered to tell them the protagonist's name, but forgot to tell them the story background!

This also led to the content of these two short chapters.

Xiao Huo will be a promising young man who rises from humble beginnings to achieve great success.

One minute he's the president of a Fortune 500 company.

One minute it's the youthful ninjas of Yemu Village,

In a moment, he will be the ultimate villain who gets crushed by Emperor Mao.

Qin Yu panicked a little and was thinking about how to salvage the situation when he suddenly heard a system notification.

"Your novel has been read over 300 million times, and you are less than halfway to reach your final goal of 500 million. Please keep up the good work."

Upon hearing this, Qin Yu was taken aback: "Huh? It's already broken 300 million?"

He remembers that when he checked this morning, it was only a little over 100 million.

Just as Qin Yu was completely bewildered, a phone call suddenly came in.

It was the staff member from Tomato Novel Network who was in charge of operating his book.

Qin Yu answered the call, and the voice on the other end immediately sounded excited and thrilled.

"Mr. Heavenly Silkworm Potato, your strategy of fighting poison with poison is absolutely brilliant!"

"I've been in the operations industry for over a decade, and I've never seen such a brilliant operational approach!"

Qin Yu was even more confused upon hearing this: "Operations? What did I operate?"

"Mr. Little Silkworm Potato, please stop pretending. Although at first I couldn't understand your intentions at all, and even thought you were crazy, now I realize that how could a mere mortal like me possibly fathom the intentions of a genius!"

Qin Yu was almost confused by what he said, so he quickly interrupted:

"No, stop playing the riddle game, what's going on?"

The operations staff member explained excitedly:

"Originally, your novel was extremely popular, almost rivaling the popularity of 'Godslayer,' but because the recently updated chapters have entered a transitional and expositional period, the plot has become somewhat bland, and many readers have experienced reading fatigue, resulting in a continuous decline in popularity."

"But the two nonsensical chapters you suddenly updated yesterday instantly ignited the emotions of many readers who had entered a period of calm."

"Right now, the entire novel website is filled with angry comments because of the two chapters you recently updated."

"Moreover, many readers spontaneously launched a wave of criticism and condemnation of 'Ma Po Tian Qiong' and its author on online media platforms such as Douyin, Kuaishou, and Weibo, which quickly rose to the top of the trending search list on many media platforms."

"This has led to many netizens who didn't originally pay attention to novels flocking to the Tomato Novel website out of curiosity."

"In just one day, our website's user registrations surged by tens of millions again, and the popularity of your novel increased more than tenfold, leaving the former leader, Zhan Shen, far behind!"

Qin Yu was dumbfounded by the operations staff's incredibly excited string of words.

He couldn't help but open Douyin on his phone and found that the top trending topic was...

What was the author's mental state when writing these two chapters of "Horse Breaks the Sky"?

This is true not only for TikTok, but also for other online media platforms.

"hiss!!!"

Seeing the ever-increasing popularity of his novel, his eyes widened instantly, and he couldn't help but gasp.

Did he... make a mess of things?

"Mr. Little Silkworm Potato, just like the word you often use in your novels, your move is truly terrifying!"

The operations staff complimented him with an expression of admiration and excitement.

It's important to know that Qin Yu's novel became a hit, bringing such huge profits to the online novel platform.

As the person in charge of operating his novel, a promotion and a raise are definitely within reach.

Hearing the continuous compliments from the operations staff, Qin Yu's eyes darted around, and then he smiled slightly and said:

“I admit there was an element of gambling involved, but fortunately, I won the gamble.”

Operations staff: "That's amazing!!!"

After hanging up the phone, Qin Yu lay on the bed with his hands behind his head, still finding it hard to believe that it was real.

Good heavens! I just randomly wrote two chapters, and they inexplicably went viral!

This world is so surreal, even mice are serving as bridesmaids for cats.

……

On the other side, at the Jiangnan City Night Patrol Headquarters.

clap clap clap...

With a series of clear footsteps echoing in the corridor, Lin Zhengtian, the city lord of Jiangnan, pushed open the door and walked into his office on the top floor.

At that moment, the director of the Jiangnan City Night Patrol Division was sitting in his office chair handling official business when he saw Lin Zhengtian walk in, and was immediately taken aback:

"Lord Lin, what brings you here so suddenly?"

"why?"

Lin Zhengtian's face was gloomy, his eyes filled with murderous intent, and an extremely powerful sense of oppression burst forth. Under this terrifying aura, the surrounding floor cracked rapidly like a spider web.

Zhao Donglai was suddenly startled and asked incredulously, "Lord Lin, what's going on?"

Snapped!

Lin Zhengtian didn't reply, but instead tossed a phone to him—an iPhone 18 Pro Max rose gold phone, with a recording playing on the screen.

"This is!?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Donglai's face turned deathly pale.

……

P.S.: Reader: "Is it absolutely necessary to leave?"

Orange and Grapefruit: "You know, I have a reason why I have to leave."

Reader: "And what about me? What am I? I gave you five stars, I urged you to update, I gave you gifts—have you forgotten all of that?!"

Orange and Grapefruit: "Stop talking! (Painful face)"

Reader: "No! I have to say! I never abandoned you even when your writing was so rubbish and terrible, so why did you abandon me? (Angry face)"

Orange and Grapefruit: "Because... KFC has put the Tender Beef Wrap on the shelves, and if we don't eat it soon, it will be taken off the shelves again!"
