Chapter 18 018 Is it Teriyaki Chicken Legs? The donations we received...
Chapter 18
[Because Qiao Da has been popular for too long, in the eyes of some people, he must be a perfect person, and too many people are waiting for him to fall from his high place. ]
[Teriyaki chicken legs just refuse to donate, who can do anything to him? ]
[…Do today’s readers have good taste? Why should “Amnesia” be outshined by “Cooking Food”? ]
【Aaaaah I hate teriyaki chicken legs!!!】
Lin Shu's homepage was flooded again.
[If it wasn't for the teriyaki chicken drumstick, why would Qiao Da want to quit the entertainment circle? 】
Lin Shu: “?”
Sometimes, he would really be defeated by this invincible logic.
But in his message area, there are still many such remarks.
…
After Qiao Da's donation amount was announced, the donation amounts of other Starnet authors, especially those contracted by Knicks Entertainment, were gradually made public, but there was still no movement from Lin Shu.
[Other authors have made up for it temporarily. Donations should not be forced, but I think... Teriyaki Chicken Legs seems to be too indifferent. ]
[In terms of character, Teriyaki Chicken Leg is indeed inferior to Qiao Da. 】
[There's no need to force it, right? Isn't the author's focus to write a good article? ]
There was a lot of commotion on Starnet, and Teriyaki Chicken Legs received far more attention than ever before. But when the outside world's attention was focused on him, Teriyaki Chicken Legs suddenly posted on his homepage - today's update reminder.
【……】
[Oh my god, you are really obsessed with money. I give up. Don’t call it teriyaki chicken legs. Call it teriyaki paper money, okay? I will burn them all for you.]
[What kind of people are following "Cooking Food"? I have never seen an author whose quality is so low. 】
[…He still remembers to post updates. This is a shameless person that even Joda cannot match.]
[I can’t stand it anymore, how come a rubbish chicken leg is still number one on the gold list? ]
On this day, Lin Shu's number of appearances on hot searches finally surpassed Qiao Da's, but unfortunately they were all negative ones.
Cheese Beans hit him several times, but Lin Shu did not accept the hint from his editor. Instead, he posted a new post:
Teriyaki Chicken Legs: [No one stipulates that I must do what Qiao Da does. If I have to learn from him, Qiao Da is the second on the gold list, so why not me? ]
【? ? ? ! ! 】
[Ahhhhhhhhh! I swear, I will boycott "Cooking Food" for the rest of my life. Even if I have to open ten accounts, I will push "Amnesia" to the top of the gold charts! ! ]
This post by Qiao Da's fans was forwarded by Lin Shu. While forwarding it, Lin Shu did not forget to @ the platform: [Report, someone is cheating on subscriptions here. ]
Starnet netizens: [……]
They deeply suspected that there was something seriously wrong with Teriyaki Chicken Leg's brain.
Of course, there are also voices supporting Lin Shu on Starnet -
[Donating is a personal freedom, right? When Teriyaki Chicken Legs signed the contract with Carving Entertainment, did the contract clearly stipulate that he had to donate? 】
[Besides, Teriyaki Chicken Legs has only been writing books for a month or two, and he himself is still a newcomer, so he probably doesn't have the energy to support authors who are as new as him, or even newer than him... I read the rules of the support organization that Qiao Da donated to, and in terms of writing years, Teriyaki Chicken Legs is more qualified than those supported authors.]
【+1+1+1. 】
But the voices of these StarNet netizens were far less powerful than those of Joda’s fans, and their voices were quickly drowned out.
The voices criticizing Lin Shu in the comment section are getting louder and louder.
Lin Shu stayed awake all night again.
When there were over a thousand comments, he took a screenshot and said that the number one on the list was still "Cooking Food".
There are over ten thousand comments, and the top one on the list is still "Cooking Food".
With over 50,000 comments, the top spot on the gold list still belongs to "Cooking Food".
[Hey, if you used the energy you put into scolding me to subscribe to "Amnesia", "Amnesia" should have returned to the top of the gold charts long ago, right? ]
↑This is what Lin Shu expressed in the comment section while taking a screenshot.
Joda fans: [……]
They naturally couldn't accept being mocked by Lin Shu, so they expressed their support for Qiao Da in the comment section:
[Report, someone is subscribing here. ]
[Report, someone is subscribing here. ]
In just a few minutes, Lin Shu @ed the platform more than a dozen times.
According to the regulations of the online article section, the same reader only needs to subscribe to the same article once, but for authors like Qiao Da who have a strong fan base and loyal fans, readers are often willing to contribute several subscriptions.
The platform is not unaware of this, it just turns a blind eye. After all, the higher the author's income, the more profit the platform will make.
But they can’t pretend not to see Lin Shu’s repeated @ing, as fair competition is the cornerstone of the platform’s survival.
[Damn, isn't this fishing? ]
[I am dying of laughter. I am really dying of laughter at Jitui's outrageous actions. Hahahahaha, it is not unfair for him to be scolded. ]
[General-1, General-1, General-1... After watching Teriyaki Chicken Legs for so long, I can only say that Teriyaki Chicken Legs is capable of doing this, hahaha. ]
After being tormented by Lin Shu, Qiao Da's fans in the comment section finally calmed down a bit, but this did not mean that they stopped insulting Lin Shu, but rather - they simply did not know from which angle to start insulting him!
Should we scold Teriyaki Chicken Legs for not donating, or scold him for mocking Qiao Da, or scold him for being crazy and reporting?
The number of Joda's fans is limited, but the incidence of teriyaki chicken legs is unlimited.
However, some fans approached the platform, hoping that the platform could deal with the teriyaki chicken legs. Before this, they had asked the platform to "deal with" some authors, and usually, the platform would favor them.
But this time, the platform's response was: "But... "Cooking Food" is number one on the gold list."
Platforms will naturally favor those with better returns, so in the past, fans of Qiao Da were invincible. But now, the subscriptions of "Cooking Food" are not inferior to "Amnesia", and it even withstood several waves of impact from "Amnesia". In this case, the platform will naturally not easily "deal with" "Cooking Food".
What's more, the greater the friction between Teriyaki Chicken Legs and Joda, the more readers from both sides will subscribe, which is not a bad thing for the platform.
This made Jodha fans even more angry.
…
While fans were furious at Lin Shu, the blogger who spoke up for Qiao Da posted a series of posts expressing his regret for Lin Shu's refusal to donate:
[I personally always think that the author who ranks first on the gold list should be a role model. As for Teriyaki Chicken Leg, I can only say that literary quality is not equal to personal character. Just read the article. ]
[But I still feel regretful inside, because he doesn't think he did anything wrong, he has never reflected on it, and he has been avoiding me. ]
Naturally, there were a large number of Joda fans expressing their support in his comment section.
At this point, Lin Shu finally responded: [Donation is a very private matter. Whether you donate or not, you don’t need to let others know.]
[After saying so much, you still haven’t donated? 】
[It’s so funny, not letting others know = not donating, how can others not know if you donated? ]
[If you have the ability, please post the donation receipt openly. If you don’t post it, it’s as good as nothing. Please know. ]
[I have reviewed the public notices of various organizations over the past year, and there is no donation from someone, okay? ]
When it comes to making tables, Joda fans have always been very meticulous. Although there are many details about the donations to the Blue Galaxy, they still made a table that can be identified at a glance.
Among all the donations, the largest amount was received by MSK. The amount donated by Qiao Da ranked 42nd among all the donations. Among the group of online writers, his donation is indeed at the forefront.
[The amount donated by MSK is really huge. There are still many kind-hearted people. ]
[I know about this donation! My grandfather was a traumatized soldier back then. His injury has been delayed for a long time, and he is finally scheduled for surgery this year. I really appreciate this donation, otherwise I don’t know how long my grandfather can live. ]
[My father also received treatment from a healer because of this donation. MSK's operations have always been difficult, and we are doing our best to provide some support, but our strength is definitely not as useful as such a huge donation.]
[And this person didn’t leave his name, so I don’t know where to thank him. ]
[Some people donate money in obscurity, some donate a little and make it known to the world, and some people are unwilling to even show some effort. The gap between people is really huge.]
[Am I the only one who cares? This amount of money is consistent with the amount of copyright fees received by Teriyaki Chicken Legs, and the donation time was after the copyright fees were announced. ]
[How could it be Teriyaki Chicken Legs? If it was him, would he be scolded for nothing and refuse to tell? Besides, this amount of money is more than the copyright fee, at least more than the total amount of Qiao Da's donations several times, which is not a small amount. Teriyaki Chicken Legs will definitely not pay for it. ]
After much guessing, netizens still couldn't guess who the donor was.
The donation account was uncovered - it was a number from Li Enxing.
The scope of speculation has narrowed down a bit. Although many netizens know that the owner of Teriyaki Chicken Leg lives in Li Enxing, no one still guesses it is him.
At this time, Qiao Da's support for the authors has been promoted on the homepage of the online literature section for nearly a week. Although "Amnesia" still failed to surpass "Cooking", in terms of momentum, Qiao Da is now the author who best represents the entire online literature section.
As a result, Qiao Da received invitations to appear on several shows - including some that were not related to online writing and were more popular and well-known.
While posting the program preview on his homepage, Qiao Da also posted a long message:
[I am touched by the people who love me. Kindness is indeed rewarded. Because of these people who have always supported me, I am no longer confused or panicked. I will continue to write for them. I no longer expect everyone to like me. I will only cherish these people who love me forever.]
[I love Joda so much! 】
[Qiao Da is really amazing and great! He was on "Tonight Love Forever", so awesome! ]
[The first person to break the circle of authors, so strong! ]
The program "Love Forever" is well-known throughout the Blue Galaxy. The program is broadcast every Monday. Those who are qualified to appear on the program are the best in all walks of life, or at least recognized celebrities on the Star Network.
Being on this show means that Qiao Da's fame is no longer limited to the online literature section, but has expanded to the entire galaxy.
Of course, to some extent, the reason why Joda participated in this program was related to his actions of donating and supporting young authors. The theme of the program "Love Forever" is the word love.
In addition to Jodha, the guests of this episode also include several celebrities from the entertainment industry. Fans are naturally very excited to see Jodha and these celebrities appear in the same shot.
[Xiao Qiao didn't lose at all, I really think he is better looking than the stars! ]
【Excited! ! ! ! 】
Long before the show started, fans knew that the focus of this episode was "help" and that Jodha would talk about her feelings after donating on the show.
However, the amount of donation from Joda is not very high after all, and the main content of the program is not about him, but about the donation received by MSK.
The program starts from the perspective of the recipients, detailing the changes that the help they received has brought to their lives:
A group of the most ordinary people in the Blue Galaxy, they hide in the crowd, and no one knows what they guarded twenty years ago.
Burns, endless mental trauma, nightmare-like blood flow, the lives of comrades... Behind the prosperity of each galaxy, there are their dedication and hard work.
They are getting older and are being forgotten.
They are not actually afraid of getting old, but they are afraid of being forgotten. Although they are still suffering, they have not lost faith in life.
They remain optimistic and firmly believe that one day they will be able to escape from the nightmare.
Narration from the perspective of ordinary people is more likely to arouse empathy. Less than an hour after "Love Is Forever" was aired, countless netizens posted messages saying that they shed tears.
【I really want to help them. 】
[I thought of my own family. I had seen a donation list on StarNet before, but I didn’t expect them to have gone through all this. It was so sad to see the video.]
[My tears kept flowing. I should help them.]
【I really want to thank that kind person. I hope the program team can make his name public.】
The program team of "Love Forever" did not disappoint the audience. This time, the program invited Charlie Wu, the head of MSK. During the live broadcast, Charlie Wu showed an embarrassment: "We spent some time to check the identity of this person, but the result was actually beyond my expectation."
"I was also in a difficult position because I thought the other party might not want to disclose it - everyone thought he did not donate, and he received tens of thousands of abuses for this."
"Tens of thousands?" The host showed a surprised expression, "Really? I thought donations were voluntary."
The host raised his arm and said, "Dear viewers, let me explain to everyone here that this is a live broadcast. Except for Mr. Charlie Wu, all the guests and staff of the program team do not know the identity of this kind donor."
Charlie Wu continued: "But I don't want the other party to continue to be misunderstood. He did good things and helped a lot of people. He deserves flowers and praise."
"If you remember, you should have heard that a few days ago, an online article went viral on Starnet, and the author received a high amount of copyright fees because of it."
“Yes, the donations we received came from here.”

[Teriyaki chicken drumstick? Is it a teriyaki chicken drumstick? ! Is it really him? ! ! ! ]
The camera just happened to sweep across the guest seats at this moment——
When Joda heard the story of MSK, he originally had tears in his eyes, but at that moment, his tears froze there, and he held them back for a long time and just couldn't let them fall.
