Chapter 1042: Exploding News
After publis.h.i.+ng that post, Gu Mang created another post and published it.
[GM: I"ve crawled out of my coffin to cast my one-vote veto #TheBlackSeacastlineup
The two simple posts were sent out within ten seconds.
Gu Mang had a large fan following on her Weibo account, so as soon as she published those posts, the number of comments under those two posts surged at a terrifying rate. With every pa.s.sing second, hundreds of comments were made. Question marks and exclamation marks filled the comment section.

[?????]
[!!!!!!!]
[What…?!]
[What the h.e.l.l? My hands are starting to tremble! Tell me it"s not what I think it is!!!]
[Dark? Gu Mang?]
[Am I dreaming…?]
As Gu Mang"s phone screen had s.h.i.+elding properties, Qin Yaozhi and the rest couldn"t see what she was doing and were just immersed in their grief and misery. However, before Gu Mang could have the chance to tell them about it, the notification alarms of Qin Yaozhi"s Wechat and QQ apps went off nonstop as messages flooded her phone.
Thinking that something had happened on Weibo again, Qin Yaozhi quickly whipped out her phone. But before she could unlock her phone to read the messages, she received a call from her good friend-c.u.m-comrade that she made online on Weibo. She quickly answered the call. "What happened, Rabbit?"
"Sis Yao! G.o.d D is… G.o.d D is…" The other party was so agitated that their voice trembled nonstop, and they had a hard time forming a coherent sentence.
"What"s wrong with G.o.d D? Just say it!" Qin Yaozhi got so anxious and worked up just from listening.
"F*ck! Go check out Weibo yourself! There"s another trending news online!"
Qin Yaozhi"s eyes bulged. "Another one?"
"Ay, just end the call here and quickly log into Weibo!" said the other party anxiously.
"Alright, alright." Qin Yaozhi thus ended the call and immediately clicked on the Weibo app, although she was one step too slow.
When she was still speaking on the phone, Zheng Miao, Tang Xiaoxiao, and Meng Jinyang had already logged into Weibo and saw another search term #DarkGuMang topping the trending list.
The trio was baffled to see Gu Mang"s name together with Dark"s, so they clicked the link, only to see the two Weibo posts that Gu Mang had published moments ago. Tang Xiaoxiao and Zheng Miao gasped in surprise as they lifted their heads to look at Gu Mang.
Jiang Shenyuan had given Meng Jinyang a rough update on Gu Mang"s affairs after the latter safely returned to the capital. Meng Jinyang herself has also read Dark"s novels, so she naturally knew what the internet had to say about Dark.
Upon recalling the years when she was mentally unstable, she realized that Gu Mang"s own mental state wasn"t too stable too, and yet the latter still had to take care of her. As her grip on her phone tightened, she suddenly felt someone putting an arm on her shoulders. She blankly looked up and turned her head, only to realize that the arm belonged to Gu Mang.
"What"s on your mind?" Gu Mang lifted Meng Jinyang"s chin.
Meng Jinyang pursed her lips as her eyes drooped.
"You! Sis Mang! Why didn"t you tell me that you"re Dark?!" Qin Yaozhi"s blood boiled in excitement after she saw what was on Weibo. After all that fuss, the author I like turns out to be my buddy! She"s so freaking talented! Not even the female protagonist in stories can be like her!
Gu Mang raised an eyebrow. "Don"t you know it now?"
Gu Mang"s exploding news practically turned the internet into complete chaos. Anyone with a bit of background, including Zhao Huai and Zhao Xinran, knew what kind of background Gu Mang came from.
Meanwhile, over at the kickoff ceremony.
Xiao Zhou came running over to Sheng Ting"s side in a fl.u.s.ter. "Brother Ting, G.o.d Gu… G.o.d Gu is Dark!"
Zhao Xinran, who happened to be sitting right next to Sheng Ting, widened her eyes in shock when she heard that.
