Ji Shi Yu is very good at setting the pace and stirring up troubles, otherwise, he would not have helped the original owner to bring down Ke Bailing in the original script.
So Tao Rui practiced until dawn, and before he went out for a run, he received a call from Ke Bailing.
Ke Bailing's voice was a little anxious. "Brother Rui, have you read the comments under your article? A lot of people are suspecting you hired a ghostwriter. You say it so convincingly, and I think some readers who are not familiar with the matter are believing it. What should I do?"
Tao Rui was stunned. "Find a ghost?" He thought of Ji Shiyu first. After all, a true reader would not think of this inexplicably, not to mention that Ji Shiyu had just told him about the ghost last night.
He comforted me, "Don't worry, it's not a big deal. Haven't I been scolded enough in recent years? It's nothing serious. It's okay."
Ke Bailing was angry for him. "Why are these people so suspicious? Even if you've failed a few times, it doesn't mean you can't write good ones. You've clearly studied so hard and compiled such excellent materials, yet they come right up and accuse you of hiring ghostwriters without any evidence. This has a huge impact."
Tao Rui smiled and said, "This is a free article, and it doesn't rely on data competition for recommendations, so why worry about any impact? So don't worry, I wrote it myself, taking my time. Readers will get to know it sooner or later. It won't affect my reputation, so don't worry. I'll take a look at what's going on. It might be someone's doing something fishy."
"Who is so wicked? I don't have classes today, how about I come to your place?"
"Okay, what do you want to eat? I'm about to go for a run and buy some vegetables by the way." Tao Rui turned on the computer and asked while reading the comment section, not taking the comments section seriously at all.
Influenced by him, Ke Bailing felt a lot more relaxed and said with a smile: "You run your own business, I'll go buy groceries when I go. No more talk, I'll pack up and go out, we can still have breakfast together."
"Okay." Tao Rui hung up the phone, picked out a few readers who were following the trend, and checked their IP addresses. Then he found Ji Shi Yu's article and checked Ji Shi Yu's IP address. They were all in S City.
How could it be such a coincidence? Those accounts were clearly Ji Shi Yu's shills.
He didn't say anything, just updated three chapters, and then went out for a run as usual.
Things on the Internet are actually very strange. If you pay attention to them, you can be pissed off or even depressed. But if you have a good attitude and don't care about them, then they are nothing and have no impact on your real life at all.
Just like when Tao Rui runs to the park now, the uncles and aunties he meets every day will greet him with a smile. A puppy that comes out to play at this time every day even barked at him twice, obviously because it looked familiar to him.
The birds are singing and the flowers are blooming, and everything is beautiful everywhere, which can naturally dilute the unpleasantness on the Internet.
Some people say staying indoors all day can negatively impact your mood. Getting out and breathing some fresh air truly feels so much better. That's why Tao Rui practices daily and also insists on going for a run, just to experience the freshness of the morning. This is what the original homebody lacked the most.
When Ke Bailing arrived, Tao Rui was taking a shower. He heard a knock on the door, quickly rinsed himself, and ran to open the door.
Ke Bailing suddenly saw Tao Rui wearing a vest and shorts with wet hair. Her face turned red and she didn't know where to look.
Tao Rui pulled her in with amusement and pinched her face, "Why are you so shy? I wanted you to move in with me, but what can I do if you're so shy?"
Ke Bailing's face turned even redder. "What do you mean by move in? I'm fine, why should I move in? You're dreaming!"
Tao Rui leaned against the door and raised an eyebrow. "Don't you think it's inconvenient to type in the dormitory? Do your classmates have any objections? After they go to sleep, you can't make any noise, right? Why does typing make some noise? Let me guess, you're typing on your phone? Are you trying to get myopia? You might even get floaters or glaucoma."
This is exactly the dilemma Ke Bailing is facing now. She has just become an author and is particularly passionate about writing, but the lights in the dormitory are turned off at around 10 o'clock every night. Some people still take a beauty sleep, but she is definitely embarrassed to make any noise, so she can only type and write on her mobile phone.
My eyes do feel uncomfortable these days and my fingers are tired.
Tao Rui took her hand and entered her fingerprint on the door lock. He smiled and said, "So, wouldn't it be more convenient for you to move in? Whether it's typing, eating, watching TV, or studying, it's more comfortable than in the dormitory. We can also see each other every day. Don't you want to see me every day when you wake up?"
"...I want to~" Ke Bailing looked at the door lock and curled up his fingers feeling a little embarrassed.
"Then move in. I'll clean up the guest bedroom for you, and then we'll go shopping and decorate the room to your liking." Tao Rui closed the door, led her inside, smiled and said softly, "Don't worry, I won't bully you."
Ke Bailing took out breakfast and ate it with him, feeling very happy. Although they had only met once in these days, Tao Rui would video call her every day and send her WeChat messages frequently. She felt that their relationship had made great progress and she was very happy every day.
Ke Bailing was still thinking about the negative comments, so he asked a few questions during the meal, wanting to know who was behind it.
Tao Rui confessed, "It was an author called Ji Shi Yu. Early on, someone formed a group of experts, and I met him in the group. We played games together a few times. Later, when he saw that my grades were not good, he recommended me to hire ghostwriters, saying that this would make money. I actually hired two ghostwriters at the time, but they all failed, so I didn't think about it anymore.
"Isn't it that a reader said my new article was good, and Ji Shi Yu insisted that I hired a ghostwriter and asked me to introduce him to him. I ignored him, and he was probably angry and started something else."
"Ah? You found a gunman?"
Tao Rui shrugged. "It was a stupid thing I did three or four years ago. I almost went the wrong way. There are actually many ways to make money. I still have to write my own articles, otherwise it loses its meaning."
Ke Bailing agreed with this statement and nodded, "It's good that you can think it through. Don't associate with such people in the future."
"Of course, who would bother with him. But since he brought it up this time, I'll just admit what happened in the past, so that there won't be any trouble in the future and I won't be able to explain myself." After all, Tao Rui had changed into this identity, and it was already an established fact that there was a black spot on his face. It didn't matter if he just admitted it. Anyway, it would only affect him temporarily and it would be fine as long as it had no impact on the mission.
Although Ke Bailing agreed with his frank idea, everyone tends to protect their shortcomings. When she thought about how many people would scold Tao Rui if the truth was told, she felt very conflicted.
Tao Rui saw her worry, took her hand and said with a smile: "Don't think about it, I'm such a grown-up, how can I not handle this kind of thing? It's no big deal, don't worry."
Tao Rui waited until most people were up at nine o'clock, then posted a thread on the forum: [Talking about that great guy who's addicted to hiring ghostwriters and makes money without writing a single word]
Tao Rui immediately went online and posted the chat logs between Ji Shiyu and the original owner. Ji Shiyu had clearly mentioned several times how he was hiring a hired gun, and even goaded the original owner into hiring one.
It’s true that the original owner was a scumbag, but this timely rain is even worse than the original owner.
Ji Shi Yu not only thought he was smart to hire ghostwriters, but also mocked several experts who toiled hard, worked themselves to death, and still made no more money than him. Moreover, by hiring more ghostwriters, he could work on several articles at the same time, and he would take the best-performing ones and discard the poor ones.
He even mocked his readers, saying he updated 20,000 to 30,000 words a day, and many readers left messages saying they loved him and wanted to collect his work just for the amount of updates he updated. He also said that when he was unhappy, he would use a smurf account to criticize readers, and the readers didn't notice.
Tao Rui was the one who was best at leading the conversation. He took screenshots very skillfully, highlighting the words of Ji Shi Yu mocking the masters, the readers, and the editors. From the very beginning of the post, he directed all the flames of war to Ji Shi Yu.
Then he posted the chat history between him and Ji Shi Yu last night, and a comparison chart of the IP address he found today.
After finishing the last article, I haven't written anything for a long time. I've been studying in seclusion. This is a test of my learning results, and also a small gift to readers. I don't plan to put it online. Why would I hire a ghostwriter? What's the benefit? To be honest, I don't have the money to hire a ghostwriter right now. After all, it's been unsuccessful for several years, and the prices in Yanjing are still very high.
It's okay if Ji Shi Yu doesn't believe me, but using a bunch of fake accounts to smear me is a bit too much. Let's just be clear and let everyone know the real Ji Shi Yu, a great man who makes money without writing a single word.
After saying this, Tao Rui continued to send a chat record, which was about Ji Shi Yu introducing a ghostwriter to the original owner, and the original owner later said it was bad luck and would not use a ghostwriter anymore. These were all records from three years ago.
Then he posted screenshots of the two articles and the backend profit chart.
I did indeed do the wrong thing of hiring a ghostwriter three years ago, as shown in the picture. Since I didn't make any money, I didn't take it seriously. Now I think I should sincerely apologize to my readers and to everyone who reads this post. I'm sorry, hiring a ghostwriter was absolutely wrong. I shouldn't have done that. I've decided to unban these two posts and leave them there as a reminder of my dark history.
I don't ask for your forgiveness, I will behave myself and write seriously in the future. 】
There's usually no punishment for things like fake accounts causing trouble and hiring ghostwriters. The editors can only give JiShiYu a verbal warning if they find out. If JiShiYu continues to hire ghostwriters, no one will know about it, and they'll still keep watching, right?
But posting it on the forum is a different story. People will instinctively dislike Ji Shi Yu, which will definitely affect his income and future development. After all, the articles written for him by the ghostwriter are not amazing, and can only be said to be of average quality. If you don't read his articles, there are still many other articles to read.
As soon as this post was published, it immediately set the forum on fire. There were so many replies that I could not even refresh the page once, and it quickly became a hot post.
Because people who read the post will first see the shamelessness of Jishiyu and despise him, and then when they see that Tao Rui used a thug before, they will naturally think that this incident is much less serious than Jishiyu's. This is an instinctive reaction. Tao Rui used Jishiyu to divert most of the heat for him. Of course, there will still be people who look down on him, but these people are much smaller.
And Tao Rui really found Jiu Yue and uncensored his two articles, and marked on the copy "Written by a ghostwriter, not by me, sorry."
He had put those two articles in a separate category in his column, titled "Looking for a ghostwriter for his dark history? Shame on you." He was simply laying out his past dark history and letting himself be ridiculed.
No matter how disgusting this matter is, at least his attitude is acceptable to many people, and for some reason they won't want to scold him.
But Ji Shi Yu was in a terrible situation. All his articles had a large number of negative ratings. It wasn't someone maliciously posting negative comments, but people who had read his articles left him contemptuous comments, and by the way, informed other readers that all his novels were written by hired ghostwriters.
Ji Shiyu had a blast last night, using a fake account to smear Tao Rui, then played games for most of the night. He slept until noon, and when he looked at his phone, he saw a mountain of messages and missed calls. He suddenly woke up, a bad feeling forming in his heart.
Ji Shiyu opened the Penguin account and saw the post sent by the editor at a glance. He asked him what was going on with hiring a ghostwriter.
He hurriedly clicked on the post and his scalp went numb when he saw the chat records.
Few people knew he hired a thief, and even if they did, they wouldn't tell anyone. Even experts have to be respectful. How could he have imagined Tao Rui would directly post the chat logs? Is this guy crazy? Isn't he afraid that he'll also leak the chat logs? Tao Rui also hired a thief!
When he read on, he knew that Tao Rui was no longer afraid, because he had already mentioned the matter of hiring a ghostwriter and made a sincere apology, which immediately made his arrogant chat records seem very hateful.
He glanced at the comments in the post. One out of ten was cursing Tao Rui, and the remaining nine were cursing him.
He clicked on the comment section of his novel, and sure enough, every article had fallen in love with it. His income today was much less than usual, which almost made him explode!
Ji Shiyu angrily sent a message to Tao Rui, typing a long string of words to curse him, but when he clicked send, it showed that they were not friends, and Tao Rui deleted him!
He simply went to the group of experts to scold Tao Rui. After scolding him for a few words, he singled out Tao Rui, sent him a temporary message, and scolded him.
But what's the use? Tao Rui ignored him. His most important thing now was to deal with his crisis as soon as possible.
Without even washing his face, Ji Shi Yu started deleting comments, complaining about posts, asking the editor to delete the post, etc.
But his actions were completely useless. The chat records were real, and so were his attempts to taunt others. He had no excuse. Most importantly, the great players he mocked also had fans. They saw his chat records and would criticize him as soon as they caught him.
And none of the readers like to be ridiculed. Everyone reads the article for fun. Why should he laugh at them behind their backs?
The most direct consequence of readers being unhappy is abandoning the article, so JiShiYu’s revenue plummeted.
Ji Shi Yu was so anxious, angry and resentful that he simply dragged Tao Rui into the water. If Tao Rui dared to expose him, he would drag Tao Rui to share the war and divert as much as possible.
Ji Shi Yu also took to the forums to challenge Tao Rui, posting several of his articles and saying that Tao Rui's new article couldn't possibly be his own. [Anyone can tell how bad his previous writing was, right?] Last time he posted an article with really good data, I became suspicious, and sure enough, he soon claimed it was his girlfriend's.
Haha, what about posting a few chapters to test the waters for his girlfriend? Do you believe that? I don't believe it. Why didn't he tell me at the beginning that he wanted to test the waters? It's likely that his girlfriend found out while he was posting, so he had to find an excuse to return the article to her.
This is only because his girlfriend has a good temper. If it were someone more powerful, she would have torn him apart in an instant.
Oh yes, maybe his girlfriend was also fooled by him, his behavior is confusing.
After my girlfriend took the article away, Core Duo posted a new one, even using some free gimmick to attract people. Everyone, don't bother me. Did I say he was wrong? Did he write this article? The style, writing style, and mannerisms are all different, right? How could he possibly have written it?
He hung up on me today, which is just a joke. Since he doesn't care about his reputation, I will fight him to the death and find out who is behind his scam!
When Ji Shi Yu posted his post, someone immediately mocked him: "Oh, you can do it. After all, you're familiar with the world of ghostwriters. Who else knows them better than you? Isn't it easy to find a ghostwriter?"
However, there are also those who are influenced by his rhythm. [Ji Shi Yu is a bad person, yes, and the Core Duo is not a good thing either? Can you trust his words? It's good that he admits his mistakes, but to be honest, this book doesn't really feel like he wrote it.]
[I have the same suspicion. The writing style and writing style of this article are much better than before. He only stopped writing for three months. If he could improve so much in three months, how many more years could he have failed before?]
I kind of believe his girlfriend's post about him being caught and then returning it. Lark, don't trust him anymore. Be a little cautious and don't let him fool you.
Tao Rui and Ke Bailing also occasionally kept an eye on the posts. Seeing some people mention her, Ke Bailing stepped in to say, "I didn't even realize the post had been posted. It was Core Duo who took the initiative to tell me this as a surprise. I didn't even know it when he told readers that the post was written by his girlfriend."
Speaking objectively, he was wrong to hire a ghostwriter before. He currently writes all his own posts, and I've witnessed it myself. I hope everyone will refrain from fabricating or spreading rumors. What he said in his post is the truth. Thank you.]
While Ke Bailing was replying, Tao Rui was working on the update for Chapter 8. He didn't enter his spiritual realm to write this chapter, so it was a bit slow, and if he wasn't satisfied with it, he would delete a large section and start over.
So Ke Bailing saw with his own eyes how he wrote the subsequent content and how he revised it repeatedly. Of course, he would not be affected by Ji Shiyu's remarks.
After Ke Bailing's speech, most people believed that her article was at least not a lie written by Tao Rui. Only a very small number of people attacked Ke Bailing as well, saying that she was in love and was fooled by Tao Rui.
However, people still have doubts about whether she saw Tao Rui write a new article with her own eyes, and whether Tao Rui has never hired a ghostwriter again. With Ji Shi Yu continuing to stir up trouble, the forum really has a bloody feeling.
Ke Bailing sat on the small sofa in the study, holding his laptop. He glanced at Tao Rui and muttered, "You can really keep writing. You're not worried at all."
Tao Rui continued typing confidently, "I have evidence to prove that I've made progress on my own. I'll post the evidence after I finish this chapter."
"Is there any evidence for this?" Ke Bailing became curious, but because Tao Rui was writing an article, she didn't ask any more questions and just kept browsing the forum with her computer.
After a while, Ke Bailing suddenly said, "Huh?" and said, "Someone posted a live broadcast link on the forum, saying that you seemed to be a broadcaster he had seen."
As she spoke, she had already turned on the live broadcast, and it happened to be Tao Rui's live broadcast of learning to write a novel that night. Although Tao Rui didn't show his face, the background of the study and Tao Rui's voice made her recognize him in a second. She asked in surprise, "Brother Rui, you are still live streaming?"
Tao Rui sat down and said, "I didn't open a post before, I just made a little money from live streaming. I was just asking about this evidence, has someone already released it?"
Ke Bailing nodded repeatedly and showed him the forum post page. "He's one of your viewers. He said he really enjoys watching your live broadcasts and reading your novels. He didn't know who you were before, but today he saw a big melon on the forum, and it suddenly made sense to him."
The live broadcast is the strongest evidence. Tao Rui had already said in the live broadcast that he sent the article to his girlfriend and had not yet told her, intending to give her a surprise. It is not like the rumor spread by Ji Shi Yu that he was caught stealing the manuscript.
Someone sorted through all the online writing parts of Tao Rui's livestreams and confirmed that he helped his girlfriend post articles every day. When he saw that the data was good enough to be published, he decided to surprise her and persuade her to become an author. After she succeeded, he happily told viewers that his girlfriend's writing was amazing, and frankly admitted that his own writing was far inferior.
Most importantly, Tao Rui is diligently studying novel writing during his nightly livestreams. This is undeniable. He studies for three hours at a time, and his progress is impressive. Just by looking at his compilation of practical information and film analysis, you can tell he's quite capable. Many authors who've seen this livestream have even commented that it could be used as a novel-writing tutorial.
Then, in Tao Rui's livestream, he suddenly stopped watching movies and started writing about characters. Although the characters didn't have names, he typed out their life stories word for word. Anyone who had read his latest writing knew that they were the characters in his new work.
He completed all the preliminary preparations in the live broadcast room, so it’s too much to say that he hired a ghostwriter!
A series of live broadcasts have explained why Tao Rui's new writing is completely different from the past, because he has calmed down and studied and delved into it in a down-to-earth manner.
He is not a new author. As a great writer like him who was once popular, his level must be there. He just chose the wrong direction and has been rushing forward. Now that he has suddenly realized it, his strength has naturally been brought into play.
Almost everyone had the same thought after watching the live broadcast. Even Jiu Yue sent a message to praise Tao Rui, saying that his ability to concentrate on studying was the best thing he had done.
Tao Rui suddenly became an inspirational person. Ji Shiyu's act of dragging him into the water not only did not ruin him, but instead cleared him!
People make mistakes, but some people truly change for the better. Tao Rui made his mistake three years ago, a long time ago. Those two articles were a complete failure, and he reportedly even lost money. Now, he's making an inspiring comeback, and the livestream proves his hard work paid off. Everyone is naturally happy to see this positive turnaround.
In addition, Tao Rui's sincere apology and the posting of his black history in his column show that he has acknowledged his mistakes and is ready to make improvements.
This makes the badness of Ji Shi Yu even more obvious. There is no harm without comparison. If Tao Rui is a positive example, then Ji Shi Yu is definitely worse than the negative one.
Up to now, he has never apologized properly. Some people even dug up his past misfortunes, saying that he was so exhausted from giving everyone 20,000 porn that he was admitted to the hospital, and that readers felt sorry for him and gave him a lot of money in rewards.
There was also a time when someone pointed out a bug in his article. He told the readers that he was discouraged because he wrote so much every day but was still criticized by that person. Then the readers angrily helped him to criticize that person.
Now we know the truth. He didn't write a single word. Things like he was exhausted or angry were all lies to deceive readers!
This lie is particularly ironic when combined with his main post's diss on Tao Rui. He knew nothing, but he swore that Tao Rui must have stolen his girlfriend's manuscript and only returned it after being caught by his girlfriend. He also said that Tao Rui's new article must have been written by a ghostwriter. He simply spread rumors without hesitation.
This is no longer just a matter of hiring a ghostwriter; it's a true display of poor character.
Tao Rui had not appeared since he first posted the message. Seeing that his image had reversed, he sent out the remaining three chapters as a silent response.
Many people knew about his writings because of this melon, and would open it and take a look even if it was just out of curiosity. As a result, Tao Rui had many more collections.
September even asked him: "Is this article really free? Do you have to write 500,000 words?"
[Core Duo: Yeah, I've already agreed with the readers.]
[September: What a shame, such a good popularity. ]
[Core Duo: Don't worry, the next one will be better than this one. I'll post a new one once I finish writing this one, so the popularity won't fade.]
September: Don't worry, keep working hard. Only when you hone your skills can you write good articles.
Tao Rui took the opportunity to propose changing his pen name and asked the editor to change it to "Mr. Wisdom" and wrote "Starting again" in his column.
It's a double entendre, meaning both saying goodbye to the dark history and studying hard to start a counterattack.
He changed his pen name and added this sentence, easily letting everyone know that he had bid farewell to the past. From this article on, his column saw a watershed. The previous articles were moved to a category called "Core Dual-Core Articles", and the current new article category is "A New Starting Point".
Tao Rui cleverly separated his future writings from his past works, allowing readers and authors to separate them. Although no one knew he had changed his mind, they would still see him as a reformed man.
Ke Bailing didn't expect the matter to be resolved so easily, in less than a day. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That was a close call. If you hadn't started the live broadcast, it would have been so difficult to dispel the rumors. Maybe everyone would be suspicious of you in the future."
"What a coincidence! This proves that good is rewarded and evil is punished. If Ji Shi Yu hadn't insisted on making a big fuss and continued to fight, the incident of my live broadcast wouldn't have been exposed."
Ke Bailing laughed when he thought of Ji Shi Yu. "He's really shot himself in the foot now. Unless he abandons his account and starts over, I think he's done for."
"Even if he abandons his account and starts over, it's useless. Without the aura of a great author, how much money can his hired ghostwriters make? This is such a good article, why doesn't the ghostwriter post it himself? Let him post it?" Tao Rui sat back down and finished the eighth chapter he had just written. Then he said, "Let's go to the mall and buy some household items."
Ke Bailing had forgotten about this matter. He was stunned for a moment when he heard this and looked around. "Really moving? But my parents would definitely be angry if they knew."
Tao Rui could see that she was very interested, but was afraid of her parents' reaction, so he asked with a smile, "Are you going to live back home after graduation?"
Ke Bailing balked at the thought of going home. She'd been living on campus to avoid being scolded and to avoid going back. She hesitantly shook her head, "I don't really want to go back. I might take the teacher's certification exam, become a teacher, and see if I can get a dormitory. If not, I'll just rent a small house near the school..."
Tao Rui sat down in front of her and said, "Do you like being a teacher? Writing novels is also a profession. If you can support yourself and make money, it's actually not much different from going to work. You can even pay for your own insurance. For a full-time author like me, you can arrange your own time."
Ke Bailing looked at Tao Rui and was deeply moved. Being a freelance writer was simply her dream. It was something she loved. Being a teacher was just something her parents asked her to do, and she had no feelings about it. But would her parents approve of her writing a novel? They'd probably scold her to death if they found out.
Ke Bailing still had a year before graduation. She thought, if she became a teacher, graduation might be her last chance at writing, and she couldn't afford to waste time in the dorm. She made up her mind and pulled Tao Rui up. "I'm moving in. I need to finish this article. This is my favorite story, and I absolutely can't let it go to waste."
"Okay, when you move in, we can work together on how to write a novel. It's much better than you doing it alone." Tao Rui took the car keys and took her to the mall. While driving, he said, "Go get your driver's license. That way, you can drive directly to school or anywhere else in the future. It's more convenient."
"Yeah." Ke Bailing smiled at Tao Rui. She felt like she had met a fairy godmother. After meeting Tao Rui, her whole life changed.
Tao Rui took her to buy comfortable pajamas, bedding, sofa pillows, and many other small household items. This time, Ke Bailing didn't refuse to spend his money. She realized that Tao Rui didn't like her refusing to accept the gift. Moreover, her novel was profitable after it was published, earning thousands of yuan on a popular day. After the shock, she felt relieved. She could buy Tao Rui gifts in the future.
The two of them, taking advantage of their car, bought a ton of stuff, filling up the back seat. They made several trips home to move everything. Then, at daybreak, they went to school to bring their belongings over. Living in the dorm didn't require much, and with so little space, packing was a snap, so it was easy.
After that, Ke Bailing began to decorate the house with great interest.
Bedding, wardrobes, small rugs, succulent potted plants, mugs, couple tableware and so on. The originally simple house became much softer after she decorated it. It was obvious that there was a hostess at first glance, with many cute, soft and pink things.
Tao Rui said something to her and went to the kitchen to livestream. "Yesterday I promised a viewer I'd livestream cooking. Today my girlfriend moved in, and to celebrate her new home, I'm going to cook a feast."
[It's not a feast if it's less than ten dishes! You have to make more today!]
[It looks pretty good, Rui Ge, are you really good at it? ]
[Your girlfriend has moved in? Congratulations, you're so lucky, Rui.]
[Brother Rui, are you okay? That Ji Shi Yu is so disgusting. He actually wronged you. I'll scold him for you!]
What timely rain? What happened?
Didn't you know Rui Ge's pen name has been exposed? He just changed it to Mr. Ruizhi. Go check it out on Feiteng. Today, Rui Ge and that Jishiyu guy got into a fight. Thank goodness Rui Ge regularly streams, otherwise he'd have been slammed.
[He Zong can actually cook? Shouldn't I join everyone in calling him Rui Ge now? It sounds better than He Zong, hahaha.]
[Brother Rui, what are you cooking for? Wouldn't it be nice to spend this time writing chapters and updating? ]
[Shut up in front, the cooking smells so good. Do you see those hairy crabs over there? I want to watch Brother Rui cook!]
[No, I just want to watch Brother Rui play games.]
[Mr. Wise, when will you do a live learning session? I'm a small author and I'd like to learn with you.]
There are people watching the live broadcast in the barrage, some asking him to play games, some asking him to study, and some authors and readers coming to watch the fun. In short, all the people who know him are gathered together, and they can still have a lively chat even if Tao Rui doesn't speak.
While Tao Rui was cutting vegetables, they had already exchanged information with each other. The author and readers knew that Tao Rui was very good at playing games, and the audience watching the live broadcast also knew that Tao Rui's new article was super good, that he was once a great writer, and that he had just revealed a big piece of news today that was worth gossip about.
Everyone took a look at the new information, and Tao Rui's image in their minds became more complete. Suddenly, they felt like they knew a lot about him. Many people were flooding their screens with messages asking for Tao Rui's face to appear.
Tao Rui stewed some soup, glanced at the screen, and said with a smile, "Why show my face? I'm not a celebrity or internet celebrity. To be honest, by the time I write this article again, I won't have so much time for live broadcasts. During this time, I will just broadcast the ones that everyone is interested in. Thank you all for supporting me during my most difficult time."
[The most difficult time? Brother Rui, are you referring to the setback from failing several books in a row?]
[…Could it be that he's out of money? Brother Rui said on the forum that he couldn't afford to hire someone, and I thought he was joking.]
Tao Rui happened to see this comment and laughed, "I'm not kidding, it's true. I suddenly started live streaming because I realized it might be a bit difficult to pay my mortgage this month. After all, I've been unsuccessful for so long and haven't saved much before. Luckily, I'm still pretty good at gaming, and I earned enough to pay my mortgage through live streaming. Thank you everyone."
[Oh my god, I'm actually out of money! ]
[So sweet, don't you think? He's just like the hero in a novel. I really like this character.]
[Believe me, being a game streamer is very profitable. You are such a good player, you will definitely make money. Don't leave.]
