Chapter 203: A Late Counterattack
Not for revenge?
Who was going to believe him!
The bullet screen was flooded instantly. Every listener knew what was going on.
Huyu Streaming spent a lot of energy to launch Grave Robber’s Chronicles. Seeing as the copyright of Grave Robber’s Chronicles was about to be released, Y-G.o.d threw them a curveball!
Headstrong! That was the only way to describe him!
Truth be told, once the copyright of Grave Robber’s Chronicles was sold out, the copyright of Candle Blowing Ghost will rise and might eventually be sold at a higher price. However, Y-G.o.d made an immediate announcement and proclaimed that the copyright would remain perpetually free!
That was done plainly to drag Grave Robber’s Chronicles through the mud. In that situation, who would buy the copyright of Grave Robber’s Chronicles at a high price?!
[Oh, f*ck! Y-G.o.d is bad*ss!]
[Too domineering! This is how it ends for those who offend Y-G.o.d, f*cking awesome! (Breaking sound)]
[Hahaha, he’s letting off steam! d.a.m.n, I’ve never liked all those Huyu people to begin with!]
[Not long ago, Huyu was still promoting Grave Robber’s Chronicles future adaptations into movies and TV series. Let’s see how it turns out for them.]
[No wonder Y-G.o.d created Candle Blowing Ghost. It’s aimed at Huyu. Y-G.o.d is too talented! I’ll cut to the chase and send him a rocket!]
[You up there, you’re aggressive. I’m also going to send a rocket to the awesome Y-G.o.d!]
…
“B*stard! B*STARD!” w.a.n.g Yuan’s mood that day could only be described as an undulation. It was like a roller coaster, rising to the sky and falling back down. His face was looking exceedingly discolored.
Zhou Min stood beside him. Her mouth trembled and she was similarly speechless from shock.
No one would have thought that Ye Lingchen would be so ruthless!
Only a madman would use one of his works to destroy another creation of his own!
“CEO w.a.n.g!” At that moment, a staff member came in hurriedly with a pale complexion. “Xinyue Media just called and said that the acquisition of Grave Robber’s Chronicles’ copyright will be delayed…”
“CEO w.a.n.g!” Another staff member came in. “Tencent Animation just called. The production of Grave Robber’s Chronicles comics will be temporarily suspended.”
“CEO w.a.n.g! After Panda’s live stream, the number of people on our platform has been decreasing. So far, it has been reduced by 5%!”
“What?!” The news was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day. w.a.n.g Yuan immediately jumped up. “Say that again?!”
The man s.h.i.+vered and dared not speak.
Panda’s live streaming had just only started, yet it had already managed to cause a 5% decrease in Huyu’s popularity, all within the span of a few hours?!
Popularity is the lifeblood of a platform!
w.a.n.g Yuan had to hurry.
“B*stard! Y-G.o.d is a f*cking b*stard!” w.a.n.g Yuan slammed the table and nearly fainted from anger.
He spent so much money just to hype up Grave Robber’s Chronicles, with huge investments made for operations and publicity. He could already see the results of the harvest, but Y-G.o.d suddenly made such a move!
Making a profit was the fundamental reason!
Under such circ.u.mstances, the value of Grave Robber’s Chronicles would only suffer a sharp decline.
As for the popularity loss, it was a huge blow to Huyu Streaming’s platform.
At that juncture, Huyu Streaming was in a miserable position.
w.a.n.g Yuan’s eyes were red and he roared, “Keep a close watch on Panda Streaming. I don’t believe a half-dead streaming platform can make such huge waves!”
Ye Lingchen had closed his live stream by then.
Ring ding ding!
It was no surprise when Song Qian called.
“Y-G.o.d, our live stream platform is on fire!” The first sentence from Song Qian were words of rejoicing. He trembled with eagerness and excitement.
“As expected,” Ye Lingchen responded indifferently.
“Y-G.o.d, you are so talented!” Song Qian was excited was beyond imagination. He felt that the best decision he ever took in his entire life was to follow Y-G.o.d because Y-G.o.d was far from unambitious!
“Our platform has just completed the acquisition, and tonight, the popularity has reached 5 million! We have another additional fifty Emperors!” Song Qian could not wait to tell Ye Lingchen about the data, “This is just the beginning. We don’t have many hosts yet. When we expand, we can definitely surpa.s.s Huyu!”
However, Song Qian knew full well that the key to that achievement was Y-G.o.d!
After a pause, he continued, ” Y-G.o.d, don’t you think it’s a bit too hasty to announce free copyright for Candle Blowing Ghost? Was it worth it to do that just to spite Huyu?”
If Candle Blowing Ghost was a success, it will become a huge piece of intellectual property. Song Qian however, found it a pity to just keep it for free.
“It doesn’t matter.” Ye Lingchen smiled. He could create countless works similar to Candle Blowing Ghost whenever he wanted. That was how confident in himself as a prodigy!
He simply wanted to prove a point to Huyu, that he could run them down to the ground just as easily as he brought success to them!
“Manage the platform well, oh, and by the way, several well-known hosts from Huyu would also be s.h.i.+fting over to our Panda Streaming. Give them the same treatment that they received in Huyu and make sure it doesn’t fall any lower than that!” Ye Lingchen ordered.
“Alright!” Song Qian was even happier to hear that more hosts would be coming over to Panda Streaming. He answered very happily.
Then, Ye Lingchen deposited RMB6,000,000 into Panda Streaming’s company account, to be used to meet the basic operation and expenses of the platform. In the blink of an eye, only RMB800,000 was left.
Of the six million, three million was from song copyrights. After Chen Xiaoyan got the money, she immediately called Ye Lingchen.
He shook his head bitterly. It was so easy to just spend money.
Once Huo Yuanjia was released, it should be able to rake in a fortune from the box office. If Panda Streaming took off steadily, there was great potential in it too. On the other hand, Y Cosmetics was already in business and was managed by Zhang Yunxi. At the moment, the store was only barely self-sufficient.
Unwittingly, there were already so many industries under his hands. F*ck, everything was built up with the money!
As he thought of all that, Ye Lingchen’s face twitched in distress.
The next day came and it was time to go back to school.
Unsurprisingly, the most frequently-heard topic during his journey was Candle Blowing Ghost. Naturally, many people talked about what happened between Y-G.o.d and Huyu.
When discussing Y-G.o.d, discussing the other Ys was inevitable too. The topic livened up even more.
Ye Lingchen sat silently at one side and listened. He was relis.h.i.+ng the wors.h.i.+p of Y-G.o.d between all those people around him.
Mm. He wondered if they knew all those Ys were the same person. What would their expression be if they discovered all those Ys were a certain Mr. Ye?
Ye Lingchen could not help but think of something naughty.
The following days were uneventful.
He went to cla.s.s whenever there were lessons and wrote novels when he did not need to attend any cla.s.ses; in the meantime, his evenings would be spent live streaming. Everything progressed in an orderly fas.h.i.+on.
Celestial Bane was positioned solidly on the top of the new book rankings and readers continued to pour in. He estimated that it would not take long to be published. Panda Streaming was also progressing steadily, while Huo Yuanjia underwent its final cut and was ready to be premiered during China’s National Day.
However, it was during then that an alarming piece of news slowly made the rounds…
