Chapter 50
【Hammer】
【Recently, Manga Cat has issued a new rule that artists with more than 100,000 fans will have a real-name authentication logo displayed on the website. Clicking on the logo will reveal the artist's last name.】
[[Picture] This is the real name information of “Five Hundred Thousand”: Jiang xx]
[[Picture] This is the real name information of Ranmajun: Jiang xx]
[(Funny jpg) So is this the same person with different aliases? I believe everyone has their own opinions~]
[I... this is a hammer, the painting style is similar, the settings are similar, the IP is the same, and the real-name information is also the same]
[This is really fucked up. I just recommended Random Code and Warlock to my friend, but he immediately fell out of love with them. I'm so sick of it. Can you open a refund channel so that I can get back the reward I gave? I feel sick when I think about giving money to such a bad person.]
【Refund, refund, refund!!!】
[This crappy comic is still on the main page. Here are some pointers for you. Go to the backend to report it. Although we cannot force the work to be removed, we can reduce the weight of the work and squeeze it out of the recommended position.]
【Reported】
[I am dying of laughter. Someone in the background might be crying while watching this. Haha. After so much hype, it finally got on the front page, but it was taken down not long after. I can’t make any money.]
[I'm so disgusted. He saw that his reputation in the painting circle was ruined and he couldn't make money, so he changed his vest and circle, right?]
[At that time, the forums and Big Eyes were full of exaggerations, and I didn't dare to say anything. Am I the only one who thinks it's greasy that he posted his own photos for no reason? And how narcissistic does a person have to be to use himself as the prototype of the protagonist of a comic...]
[The one in front, you are not alone]
[+1, greasy and narcissistic. Moreover, a grown man draws the protagonist with his own face flirting with the second and third male characters every day. Isn’t it disgusting... This can be called sexual fantasy, right?]
[Fuck, my Roshia and Cross are so pitiful. Not only were they born under such a bad person, but they were also drawn to be paired with him...]
[Vision sees some scenes of 0-0 staring at straight men, disgusting]
[It seems that Lotus may have been wrongly accused]
[Don’t worry, your death was not unjust]
【乐, at that time the whole internet was praising his stunning beauty, who knows how many photoshops he had, millions of photo retouchers (rolling eyes)】
[Uh...you can mock his character and his narcissism, but there's really no denying his looks.]
[It’s so funny, who knows how many surgeries she had to go through to look like this]
…
The original poster replied: [Just now, another baby sent me a private message in the backstage and sent me a screenshot. I will sort it out and post it later.]
【Waiting for melon】
【Melons are coming】
【squat】
…
[Here it comes, the OP directly copied the information disclosed by this kind-hearted person:]
[My friend’s brother’s wife’s nephew is a friend of a certain editor of Manhuamao. After they had a drink one time, the editor once told him in person that Manhuamao allows authors to open secondary accounts and use pseudonyms, but the conditions are rather stringent, and no normal artist is willing to abandon their own account that they have maintained for a long time and open a pseudonym to divert traffic, so this function is basically useless.]
[However, a certain editor happened to have such a contracted artist under his command, and he approached him to ask for a secondary account. Of course, the editor was very professional and did not reveal who the artist was, but under the persistent persuasion of the whistleblower, he still revealed a little gossip, which was——]
[This artist who created a fake account was once criticized online for doing something wrong, but he didn't have any other skills to make a living, so he asked him to put on a fake account and continue drawing comics.]
【Le, just give out someone's ID number】
[I'm vomiting. How thick-skinned do you have to be to survive and be reborn from the dirt?]
[Ahhh, I'm so worried about this editor now. The OP just posted the information like this. Will this editor be punished? QAQ One person wrote this in blood, hoping that Manga Cat will not punish the editor who is trying to get rid of harm for the people.]
[(狗头) How could such a brave editor be punished? Drunken words should not be taken seriously. I hope the comic cat will not be ignorant of good and evil (狗头)(刀)]
【Protect our editors!!!】
[To summarize: □□, has no skills, bad character, very thick skin, but strong psychological quality. He broke the rules of the art circle, charged underage authors exorbitant fees and didn't pay them back, and was condemned by everyone, but was reborn as a comic book artist. He drew new works on the corpses of old works, and in order to hype up the comics, he used himself as the prototype to be the protagonist and had an ambiguous relationship with the second and third males...]
【Provincial flow: greedy and evil】
[I am really speechless. As a person who only looks at the works and not the character of the person, I think I have a high acceptance rate, but I really cannot accept that he took down the old rubbish and bad ending work and drew a new work based on the original world view... He was even unwilling to change the name of the protagonist.]
[Hahahaha, I recognize the fighting ability of my family members. Someone’s work has been removed from the list.]
[Okay, okay, severely limit the flow. What should I do? Some people can't make money and can't find a job. Tsk tsk tsk]
【Hahahahaha what a sad story~】
…
After reading the rapidly refreshing post from the beginning, Jiang Zhulang pulled the corners of his mouth, trying to put on a smile. Unfortunately, he couldn't even exert such a weak force, and instead his face was pulled and distorted.
He blinked, hiding the trace of water that was about to drip.
He could naturally guess that it was Brother Li who leaked his information, and the reason was probably simply because he did not lend him money.
But he didn't have any desire to question him.
No, maybe there is.
He didn't want to ask why he was being treated this way.
In fact, Jiang Zhulang had already discovered that the person who posted the painting style inventory and the poster who was asking questions but actually pointed at him everywhere were the same person.
And their IPs are the same as his and Brother Li’s.
Maybe Brother Li approved the account himself, or someone bought his information from Brother Li.
He doesn't care.
If there was a chance, he just wanted to ask him - doesn't he know that there is something called a credit card and a thing called a loan?
Why does he think that if he borrows money from him, he must give it to him?
Just because he made money?
Only now did Jiang Zhulang realize how naive he was.
No matter they met at a comic convention many years ago, or they met in person after signing the contract, he was always the one who took the initiative to reveal his information.
It can be said that Brother Li knows his name, his school, his hobbies, and many other things about him...
But what about me? Apart from knowing that his last name is Li, that he has a daughter, and that he is married, what else do I know?
Jiang Zhulang lay on his back on the bed, covering his eyes.
He suddenly thought that maybe he could stay in Needles for the rest of his life and never leave again.
Anyway, in reality, everyone hates Jiang Zhulang and hopes he dies, so why doesn't he live forever in this illusory yet real world as Lan Nuo?
He no longer had to worry about how to interpret a wonderful plot. He didn't have to care about Cross's past, the mastermind behind the scenes, or the world-destroying crisis.
He could take his best friend to a place with beautiful scenery and hide away.
If something stupid comes knocking on your door, just kill it.
Oh, maybe he could just go straight to the man behind it and kill him.
——If it weren't for the sake of plot, he would have done so.
If Martin wants, he can come along.
Who says you have to study potions in the Holy Spirit Apothecary Society?
He had money. Perhaps his wealth could not be compared with the richest organization in the entire continent, but it was more than enough to support an alchemist and a potion master.
They can study without any purpose, purely.
Maybe it would be right for Martin to quit the Apothecary Society and work with him on mushroom potions.
——Anyway, according to the plot, his potion was destined not to be used in the direction he expected. Moreover, Martin did not have much deep feelings for the Holy Spirit Potion Society.
In that case, why not live in seclusion with him and Roshia and study without interference?
Anyway, he had such a unsuccessful life as Jiang Zhulang during his 24 years, so why couldn't he live a hundred years of life happily and freely as Lan Nuo?
Jiang Zhulang caught a glimpse of the rapidly rolling translucent bullet screen in the corner of his vision and closed his eyes in annoyance. However, an unknown anger arose in his heart, burning from his stomach to his heart.
His breathing became increasingly rapid, his chest felt stuffy, and he felt like he was almost suffocating.
The young man, whose face was so pale that it seemed almost transparent, frowned tightly, and streams of physiological tears flowed from his eye sockets, gathering into a lake of tears at the bridge of his nose.
Based on what?
On what basis?!
There was a thought that gradually became stronger as my body became more and more uncomfortable.
He clearly returned the money, why didn't the other party say anything?
His manuscript fee was clearly five thousand, so why should the total price of five hundred thousand be charged to him alone?
Why can these people insult him at will and he has to back down?
Jiang Zhulang was unwilling to give in.
When he was first exposed online, he knew that he had no way to defend himself. People on the Internet only wanted to see what they wanted to see. Any clarification on his part would be a futile struggle, so he did not want to waste any more words.
But, do I have to do the same this time?
He was unwilling to accept that he had to give up the dream he had been pursuing for more than ten years, put down his paintbrush, and hide in the world of comics like a coward.
This shouldn't happen.
He shouldn't be the one to back down.
Jiang Zhulang enlarged the scrolling bullet screen, watched one swearing video after another, grinned wider and wider, and then laughed out loud.
He will not be weak anymore.
He wants to go out.
Jiang Zhulang stood up suddenly, staggered out of the tent, and gave an exaggerated smile to Luoxia and Martin who were looking at him worriedly.
Roshia and Martin came forward, one holding his body while the other quickly brought him food.
"Lan Nuo, eat something."
Jiang Zhulang's eyes moved slowly, staring at the still-hot cream mushroom soup and the chopped ham cubes. He nodded and swallowed mechanically in big gulps.
After taking the last bite of food, Jiang Zhulang closed his eyes and opened them again, losing consciousness and returning to reality.
"Tsk——"
The moment his eyes met the computer, his stomach twitched and he vomited uncontrollably. His throat felt sour and hot, as if it was burning.
It took him a long time to calm down.
Taking out a tissue to wipe away his tears and saliva, Jiang Zhulang let out a sneer.
“Who should I start with?”
The cold and mocking voice was so clear in the silent room.
"Ah, let's start with a guy who told a lie with a clear conscience."
