Chapter 213: Jia Di’s Invitation

3Logs was one of the top big shots and was a veteran author as well. He bore down on the web literature community for years and had countless fans behind him.

Originally, these big shot authors were said to stand at the very top of the web literature food chain, where money was like nothing to them. Most of the arguments within the web literature community had nothing to do with them, but when Celestial Bane swept across the community, one of those big shot authors stepped forward after finding it unbearable to hold back.

3Logs was a big shot author in the fantasy category. Five years ago, his third book became a hit and cemented his esteemed status. However, the works he wrote in the past two years had suffered a gradual decline, with content that was not innovative enough. It was clear that he was going downhill.

However, that did not hide the fact that he was still a great author.

The hype of newcomers was a normal thing, but the pseudonym of the newcomer ruffled a few people’s feathers.

3Logs’ sentence was very worthy of scrutiny. He went so far as to point out that Ye Lingchen’s pseudonym basically proclaimed that Ye Lingchen was the top author within the web literature community. That way, he made Ye Lingchen stand in direct opposition to that of many existing big shot authors.

That comment soon received thousands of likes and nearly a hundred replies.

It was a clear indication of 3Logs’ reputation.

[Finally, a big shot has stepped forward. I never liked the name I am Y. It’s too bullish!]

[Someone doesn’t know where they stand.]

[Even the big shots never dared to call themselves Y. I have one question, why him?]

[It’s just a name. Is it really necessary to make comparisons? Celestial Bane is good!]

[Agree with the above. Don’t ignore Celestial Bane’s amazing results just because of a pen name.]

…

[I don’t want to say anything else. Let’s just wait for it to be published. I’m not convinced by his pen name anyway!] 3Logs made a hasty retreat after leaving that message.

The post continued to develop further. Aside from 3Logs, other big shots such as Li Jianchou, Milky Way Overlord, and Xiao11 slowly began to show themselves. Although they did not say anything, they liked the post in a clear signal of their position on the matter.

The dark side of the web literature community was making their move, and gradually, countless cyber troopers appeared. They tried to dictate the rhythm under the comments area of Celestial Bane, and some online forums have already started to discuss the negative aspects of Celestial Bane’s author.

Ye Lingchen did not care for any of that though. More appropriately, it should be said that he never paid any attention to them.

He simply completed and uploaded his chapters according to the schedule, then streamed Candle Blowing Ghost when it was time. His time was comparably more carefree and relaxed.

During that period, Candle Blowing Ghost’s influence had begun to spread. It could be said Grave Robber’s Chronicles helped Candle Blowing Ghost to achieve a greater breakthrough, completely overtaking Grave Robber’s Chronicles. It had become the most definitive work in the paranormal genre.

Huyu Streaming originally expected Candle Blowing Ghost to collapse, but the subsequent results sent them into despair.

The content of Candle Blowing Ghost was getting more and more exciting. The later storylines all lined up perfectly, expounding upon a huge world in precise detail. That aspect made people feel as though the story was not fiction, but something that existed in real life.

Moreover, Huyu Streaming had paywalled Grave Robber’s Chronicles, leading to many people giving up that story in favor of Candle Blowing Ghost. Huyu Streaming’s popularity slid down even more due to that.

In the evening, Ye Lingchen had just finished the live broadcast when Song Qian called him in a surprised voice.

“Y-God, Tencent Animation wants to adapt Candle Blowing Ghost into an anime.”

“Sure,” Ye Lingchen answered curtly.

When Candle Blowing Ghost was first streamed, many animation companies had already called up Ye Lingchen to discuss possible cooperation, but they were all rejected.

Those animation companies wanted nothing more than to hitch on the fame after seeing that the copyright of Candle Blowing Ghost was free. Ye Lingchen however, would not just give away the copyright on a whim.

After all, giving something for free and giving the same thing on a whim were two different situations. What he needed was a reliable animation company. He could not let his work sink into oblivion.

Tencent Animation was undoubtedly an influential company, which made cooperation possible.

“That… Y-God, our copyright is free?” Song Qian was still a little unwilling. It was a big piece of intellectual property and could be considered gold if it were to be sold.

“Free!” Ye Lingchen said in a firm tone and smiled. “Don’t just look at it in the short term. Candle Blowing Ghost is capable of bringing us endless popularity for free. In that case, the copyright of my next work will surely be priced sky high!”

Song Qian’s breath had grown heavy and he could feel a strong confidence in Ye Lingchen’s tone.

Candle Blowing Ghost was such a masterpiece, yet Ye Lingchen made it free just for the sake of attracting popularity. How confident was he that his future works were classics? Could it also exceed Candle Blowing Ghost?

His heart skipped a beat. On deeper thought, he realized that it was possible!

“Then…there are also companies that want to cooperate with you for film copyright and game copyright. Are they also free?”

“It’s also free, but it has to be an authoritative film company. A contract needs to be signed to ensure that it is produced with care, otherwise, we can retract the copyright at any time,” Ye Lingchen responded plainly.

“Okay, I know.” Song Qian said.

Although only half of the Candle Blowing Ghost story was told, its popularity had soared immediately. Countless entities eyed its copyright and it was normal practice to reserve said copyright.

The following day, Ye Lingchen’s prescription had effectively controlled the condition of the Wind-Heat Syndrome Flu. The efficiency was remarkable with the help of the entire country. Only three days had passed, but large quantities of tablets made according to the prescription have been produced and sent to all regions within the country.

Later, it was even discovered that the tablets produced by this prescription had a positive effect on ordinary flu in addition to Wind-Heat Syndrome Flu. The pill could be described as an all-round flu killer.

As a result, it was immediately included in the National Drug Repository and at the same time, the tablet was named Y-Capsule.

That day, Ye Lingchen completed his entire day’s lessons and received a call.

Jia Di?

Ye Lingchen raised his brow slightly.

Jia Di was the chief designer of Vatti. They met when Ye Lingchen accompanied Zhang Yunxi to buy clothes there.

Ye Lingchen showed immense proficiency in design, and because of that, Jia Di was so shocked that he gave Ye Lingchen free privileges for life.

Ye Lingchen became a regular visitor to Vatti, but he did not go there simply because he had those free privileges. The clothing designs there suited his tastes perfectly.

After one or two visits, Ye Lingchen and Jia Di became more familiar with each other, and in addition to Ye Lingchen pointing out some shortcomings from time to time, Jia Di was even more convinced of his skills. Within that period of time, Vatti’s sales increased significantly and the feedback was much more positive.

The head office gave Jia Di a positive reply, saying that the design of the clothes was greatly improved.

“Hello, Young Master Ye.” Jia Di was very polite.

“Grandmaster Jia, hello. Is something the matter?” Ye Lingchen asked.

“There’ll be a fashion show tomorrow evening. I want to invite Young Master Ye to attend it with me. I wonder if you have the time, Young Master Ye?” …
