Lei Hong was a rich second-generation with countless money to spend every day. However, though rich, he still couldn\'t do anything about his super average talent that was not suitable for practicing martial arts.
He was 25 years old this year, but he was only a 2nd Tier Warrior martial artist. Fortunately, he was the only child in his family, his parents and grandparents indulged in him very much. But it was a blessing to those elders that Lei Hong was a sensible child and didn\'t have a character like other spoiled young masters.
Since young, Lei Hong\'s only dream was to become a powerful martial artist like those seniors and go to the abyss to temper himself.
But reality was that cruel, even if he wanted to go to the abyss, his parents would not allow. It was no different from finding death.
And Lei Hong also understood this, so it was not hard to convince him.
So coupled with various reasons, Lei Hong became an otaku who liked to read martial arts novels in his room all day long.
After not long of reading novels, Lei Hong also made a name for himself. As long as a novel was good, Lei Hong would give rewards generously. Hence, before long, Lei Hong even got to know some editors, famous authors and even became a social media influencer himself.
Recently, Lei Hong was following a novel called Battle Through the Paradise.
At first, Lei Hong was skeptical about this novel, thinking that the settings and plot were too weird. However, before he knew it, the more he read, the more he felt that he didn\'t read enough.
The writing styles, the plot, the world background, especially the main character Xi Yan, made Lei Hong like this novel to death.
Equally, Lei Hong became the number one top fan of this novel.
Every day, Lei Hong\'s priority as soon as he opened his eyes was to check for the new chapters of this novel.
Today, he opened the Runningnovel app as usual, however, when he tapped on Battle Through the Paradise book, he found that no chapters were found.
"What\'s happening?"
He also tried to restart his network thinking that his internet was slow, but as a result, when he asked his friends five minutes later, the other party also encountered the same issue.
Finally, he and the other fans of Battle Through the Paradise came to a conclusion, "The author deleted his chapters!"
As for why this godly author deleted his book from the site, no one knew, the author himself also did not say anything.
At the same time, as Lei Hong closed the Runningnovel app and opened UU and was about to make a post to vent his grievance, his friend suddenly sent a message to him.
"Brother Hong, Battle Through the Paradise has been relocated to Grassynovel, hurry up and download its app! I found so many godly novels that don\'t lose to Battle Through the Paradise at all! Hurry up!"
Seeing this message, Lei Hong did not doubt its authenticity at all. He hurriedly searched for the app and download it.
A few minutes later, Lei Hong finished registering the account and found his favorite book. He was also surprised to see that the original free book was actually contracted in this side.
But earlier, Lei Hong also saw a lot of interesting novels. So feeling curious, he tapped on a novel and read the synopsis.
"Synopsis of Defying the Heaven: Mythic Mountain, Heaven\'s End Cliff, the most dangerous of Blue Cloud Continent\'s five deadly areas. Heaven\'s End Cliff base was known as the Cemetery of Death.
Over the years, numerous people had fallen off this cliff. None of them, even the strongest sword cultivator, Nine Azure Sword Sovereign, whose power could cut off the mountain, fill the sea, and pierce the heavens, had been able to return alive.
However, a boy that was being chased by countless immortal cultivators because he alone held a heavenly treasure jumped off the cliff, but instead of dying, he woke up in the body of a boy with the same name in another continent!
This is the story of a boy wielding the Heaven Closing Seal, cultivating the strength to oppose the heaven and earth, a lord overlooking the ten-thousand realms and thirty-two heavens!"
Just reading this synopsis alone, Lei Hong felt that the hairs on his body stood upright, admiring the impressiveness and the way the author portrayed the short synopsis.
However, there were still something that Lei Hong felt puzzled and incredible about the synopsis.
"What is this \'immortal cultivator\'? Sword cultivator? And this sword cultivator can cut off the mountain, fill the sea, and pierce the heaven? Even a Grandmaster martial artist can\'t do something like this, right?"
Although this word was quite foreign to Lei Hong, Lei Hong still felt that the so-called "cultivator" must be awesome.
So without delay, Lei Hong added the novel into his collection. Looking at the content of the novel, he found that there were 140 chapters waiting for him to read and each chapter was 88% off at that.
However, Lei Hong was not in a hurry to read it at all. He looked at the many novels on this site excitedly, preparing to add all of them into his collection.
…
In the comment area under Yang Song\'s post, although there were many comments, most people were only showing supports and calling out those black fans who were insulting Yang Song previously.
Suddenly, a few new comments suddenly appeared and attracted attention.
"Damn, there are so many godly novels! Even Battle Through the Paradise has moved to Grassynovel! Elder Yang really did not lie to us!"
"God-level novels, there are so many god-level novels! I\'m idling here anymore, I\'m back to read those amazing novels!"
"Salute to Elder Yang! I hope to sell my organs to give you the rewards!"
"…"
…
While those people were excited and happy to read novels on Yang Song\'s site, people at Runningnovel company were depressed to the extreme.
At this moment, in the meeting room.
A slightly chubby man with a pair of reading glasses was sitting in the main seat and his face was very ugly from frowning.
After a while, the chubby man sighed slightly and said, "How is the data now?"
At the end of the meeting table, a technician was operating his laptop. Hearing his boss\' question, he paused his hand and stood up, "Boss, the amount of active readers has dropped again. It\'s only 7.9 million now."
Originally, the average amount of active users per day was 15 million. However, in just more than one hour after Grassynovel was launched, their site\'s active users dropped sharply from 15 million to 13 million, and now, it was even more jaw-dropping, there were only 7.9 million active users now.
Hearing this answer, the chubby man\'s face became even uglier, "What is the situation of that website now?"
The technician looked at the screen of his laptop and swallowed his saliva, then said, "From what I see, their flow of traffic is normal, and there are at least ten of thousands of new readers each minute. Most of our readers left our site and went to that site just to read Battle Through the Paradise. This is also normal, because their advertisements are everywhere."
"Damn, even if they advertise everywhere, how could they gather so many readers in just more than one hour? Our company has to stand in the wind and rain for several years before we could become what we are now. Are their novels so good to the point of making people fall in love with them immediately?" The chubby man yelled angrily.
When Grassynovel was first launched more than an hour ago, he snorted in disdain and felt that there was no way a newly emerged website like that could explode in popularity, hence, he even disdained to check out the novels on Grassynovel.
Now, he felt like he had to see for himself if those novels were that good.
Several minutes later.
Rumble!
The chubby man suddenly got up from his chair and his face revealed shock.
"How could this be?"
"T-this… how is this possible? Are authors of that Grassynovel so talented?"
Initially, everyone was having a meeting, so they turned off their phones. Now, seeing the reaction of their boss, they also took out their phones to check it out.
A few minutes later, one exclamation after another resounded in the meeting room.
"Damn, e-each novel in this site could create a new genre for itself!"
"Look, even Battle Through the Paradise has been contracted too!"
"Huh? We tried to contact him for so long, he didn\'t even bother to respond to us, but now he moves to there? Did he forget where his popularity came from? What a white-eyed wolf!"
"Could it be that author of Battle Through the Paradise was someone that the Yang Family hired to begin with and he borrowed our site to gain popularity?"
For a while, everyone started cursing with an ugly face.
