Chapter 173: Mass Release on a Whim

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Looking at Ye Lingchen’s figure as he departed, everyone was slightly dazed.

Insolent!

Shameless!

“Fool! What a fool!” Pan Heng almost went crazy from anger. He stared at Zhang He with his blood-red eyes, “Zhang He, if you’re still my student, you will tear this contract up right now!”

“Teacher, please trust me.” Zhang He had already kept the contract safely, getting ready to register it on record to formally add Ye Lingchen to the association’s system.

“Crazy! You must be crazy!” Pan Heng heaved heavy breaths. “What capabilities would such an insolent kid have? You must have been brainwashed by him!”

“President, I can’t accept this!” Qian Sen’s eyes were also bloodshot. He felt extremely humiliated!

Ye Lingchen’s parting words still echoing in his ears. He was not worthy?

If he was not worthy, then who was?!

“My eyes are not blind! Could it be that you think I’m someone that likes to go through back channels?!” Zhang He turned serious, giving off the intimidating aura of a coach.

All the players were hushed from the fear they felt, bottling their anger within.

Smack!

Pan Heng had slapped Zhang He directly across the face, shouting angrily, “The basketball association will fall to ruins in your hands!”

With that, he left.

The incident with the basketball association was just an interlude for Ye Lingchen.

Sports has always been a weak spot for China. Apart from table tennis being the national sport, China was ranked low in all other sports they participated in. Him joining the sports bureau meant that he could contribute what little strength he could. Moreover, the privilege was not bad and it could help him gain popularity.

Apart from that, Ye Lingchen had also thought about himself.

At the moment he was unsure if he could afford to show off everything, but a reasonable degree of fame was acceptable. At least that would allow his parents to feel proud of him, and it would be more convenient for him to explain his income in the future, providing him with an excuse to transfer money to his parents instead of having them worry all the time.

As a member of the basketball association, it fits the bill nicely.

While on the bus home, Ye Lingchen’s mind went blank and he daydreamed for some time before he entered the system interface.

Due to his livestream getting banned, his popularity growth was limited. However, due to China’s Top Voice and its influence, Ye Lingchen’s popularity point went from roughly five thousand to 70,579.

One new song added over sixty thousand popularity. That was a rather decent growth.

Celestial Bane was still in its dormant period. Although it had the potential to become a major hit, its effect on his popularity growth was still limited.

Thinking of Celestial Bane, Ye Lingchen once again logged on the author’s corner. As expected, his statistics went through another growth spurt with statistics from various aspects showing serious improvement, including the gifts.

A sea of rising gifts, all of them rushing him for more release, created a lively scene. Moreover, with his pen name, a lot of readers already automatically classified him as Novel Y.

[Great author, I’ve just read your book today and was unable to stop until the newest chapter. It’s too amazing. Please release more!]

[Great author, your writing is too wonderful. I feel that you’re worthy of the name Y. Ahhh, I think the Y clan is expanding.]

[Novel Y, How did the other Y react to your appearance? Are you guys related?]

[Great author, I’ve spent my entire week’s pocket money on gifts for you. I only hope that you will release chapters sooner, thank you.]

[You must keep this up! Product of Y, quality guaranteed. I hope you can be as famous as the other Ys!]

[The level of this novel is on par with that of Livestream Y’s Grave Robber’s Chronicles. All the best to you great author! All the best to Novel Y!]

After reading the comments Ye Lingchen compared it with other novels from the same publishing period.

The difference between their statistics was like heaven and earth.

Without a doubt, Celestial Bane was placing first in the PK round, and it outshined the other novels by a huge stretch. The result was heaven-defying.

It was hard for him to imagine just how much psychological trauma other authors of his batch would have to face. How unlucky must one be to meet such a monstrous entity during the PK period?!

He quickly glanced through the comments section as it contained some reader’s suggestion, but Ye Lingchen just gave them a casual glance.

Writing a novel required his own style and he could not just blindly following the suggestions from others or it would end up losing more than he gained.

However, with that many gifts asking for faster release, he would feel bad for not picking up the pace.

Once home, Ye Lingchen immediately turned on his computer and started typing away in a frenzy.

One hour later, chapter 17, Attendance, was uploaded!

He started it off with a 7000-word chapter!

[F*ck! The great author started to have additional releases! Ahhh, what a surprise!]

[Starting things off with a 7000-word long chapter. What a wonderful read!]

[I’ve finished it in one shot again. Wonderful, really wonderful. I’m looking forward to more!]

[Logically speaking, Zhang Xiaofan benefited quite a bit from his miraculous encounter. He should be showing off some of his abilities in the banquet right? I’m so excited!]

Just as the first chapter finished uploading, a dozen or so comments appeared in an instant in the comment section. It seems like quite a number of people were keeping tabs on Celestial Bane, waiting for new releases.

Before the readers recovered from their surprise, chapter 18, Reunion, was uploaded as well!

[Am I still dreaming? The author uploaded another chapter?!]

[F*ck, I thought my eyes played tricks on me. The great author is full of surprises!]

[Great author, I love you!]

[Novel Y, say no more. From now on, you, Superman Y, and Livestream Y are all my idols! I love you, XOXO!]

That point was considered a mini climax in Celestial Bane. Zhang Xiaofan had been biding his time without knowing where he stood in terms of power. Along with the miraculous burning stick, it pushed the reader’s anticipation to a peak.

Furthermore, those were the few chapters where Celestial Bane was most alluring. The members of each faction learn various skills, flying on swords, and all sorts of mystical abilities. It truly immersed the readers in the beauty of xianxia and helped them experience that fantasy world, leaving them wanting for more.

Apart from that, Celestial Bane’s various protagonists too were making an appearance. The lively junior female disciple, the arrogant Lu Xueqi, and the countless beauties in the world of cultivation made their way into the readers’ hearts.

Just when everyone thought there would be no more updates for the day, Chapter 19, Picking Lots, was uploaded merely one hour later!

Another long chapter with 5000 words!

[The great author must have found his conscience today. Sob sob sob. Can you believe it? I’m touched to tears.]

[I believe you because I’m touched to tears too.]

[I, Lonely Seeker of Loss, am back and gifting 500,000 coins. Long Aotian, where are you? Who dares have a match with me?!]

[I, Long Aotian am right here! As a fellow friendly reader, let us not compete. We shall each gift 500,000 coins and maintain the harmony.]

[Wonderful read, really a wonderful read. I can’t stop myself!]

[Great author please don’t burn yourself out. You must have a balance between work and play. Please don’t tire yourself. We’re in no hurry and can wait!]

After just over three hours, he finally completed three chapters. That was Ye Lingchen with his Prodigy System. For an average author, it would be great if they could write that much within a day.

[Today’s release will end here. Thank you for your support.]

Leaving a simple message behind, Ye Lingchen logged out of the author’s corner.

Beep beep beep!

Right as he logged off, his QQ messenger notification popped out. It was from the editor Yogurt.

[I am Y, that was magnificent! Your results are beyond expectations. This is a novel that could get you various awards. You must keep this up.]

[Okay, I will. Thank you for your recommendation. Otherwise, it would not have achieved such great results.] Ye Lingchen tried to maintain an amicable relationship with his editor.

[Now that’s just giving me too much credit. Real gold will always show its value. Your novel is just too good. Even I am following it!]

[Yogurt continued: Oh right, you just did a mass release today. Did you have extra chapters drafted?]

[Nope, it was just on a whim.]

[Good lord! You’re amazing! That typing speed is insane! There’s no reason you should not be awarded!]
