I'm a platinum-level author, so what if I play professionally?

EDG conference room.

Abu, Nofe, and the factory manager all gathered together.

They are waiting for their boss, Edward Zhu, to come to the club.

Abu looked at the factory manager with a complicated expression, but the factory manager was completely unaware, looking down at his phone.

The factory manager thinks this generation of netizens is incredibly talented.

During this period, EDG's blitzkrieg in Poland caused a huge uproar.

As a member of EDG, Clearlove should have been worried about this.

In fact, the factory manager was initially affected by this incident, but Song Wen's comments were just too ridiculous.

There's a very popular term on the internet right now: "love and hate".

This phrase means "love as high as the sky, hatred as deep as the sea." It is now used to refer to Song Wen's feelings for EDG.

It's unclear which unscrupulous person leaked Song Wen's previous trial with EDG, but the love-hate relationship between the two sides quickly became a hot topic among netizens.

Whenever a topic related to Song Wen or EDG comes up on social media, netizens all type the same line below:

Love and hate intertwined.

It's practically become a meme culture.

Its semen content even far exceeds that of the Midsummer Night's Dream of yesteryear.

So much so that the factory director can't help but smile whenever he sees those four words.

However, Abu found the factory manager's demeanor very strange.

He couldn't understand how the factory manager could still laugh when everyone was caught up in such a huge storm.

unless……

Seeing Mingkai still staring at his phone and laughing, Abu suddenly spoke up:

"Mingkai, aren't the readers' comments interesting?"

"They're really interesting, each and every one of them is talented..." the factory manager blurted out instinctively, then realized something was off and asked in confusion, "Readers? What readers?"

Abu's expression was complicated, his eyes filled with disappointment.

"Everyone knows now, there's no point in you pretending anymore. Before the boss arrives, you should explain things to us clearly, and I can put in a good word for you with him."

Mingkai's face was full of confusion.

"What are you saying? I don't understand a word you're saying!"

Seeing that Mingkai was still pretending to be stupid, Abu suddenly changed his expression, slammed his fist on the table in a fit of rage, and threw his phone in front of Mingkai.

"Stop pretending! Look at what you wrote, it's already been sent to my private messages!"

Mingkai was completely bewildered. He looked down at his phone and saw a novel called "Rebirth: I Am the Six-Time Champion".

His expression changed several times, eventually becoming extremely ugly.

"Again? Didn't I already say last time? I didn't write it!"

"This isn't the same book as last time! The last one was called 'League of Legends: The Super Demon King'!"

The factory manager was completely baffled; he couldn't understand why Abu always suspected him of writing a novel.

Although he did write youthful melancholy literature like "A Midsummer Night's Dream" when he was young, he has become more mature and reserved as he has grown older, and has stopped writing for many years.

"I'm speechless. Why do you always think I'm writing a novel?"

Seeing that the factory manager still wouldn't admit it, Abu walked over angrily and simply started flipping through a novel.

He flipped to the book review section of the novel, where the pinned comment was from the author.

Many readers have asked me to tell you the story between Song Wen and EDG. Actually, I don't know much about it either, because I don't particularly like Song Wen as a player. However, as far as I know, Song Wen once participated in EDG's tryouts but failed. Before leaving, he even kicked Abu in the butt. It's estimated that Abu's attitude towards Song Wen wasn't very good at the time, which caused Song Wen to hold a grudge. I analyze that Song Wen definitely likes EDG, otherwise he wouldn't have participated in their tryouts. But after being rejected, his mentality changed, and now he's probably in a state of both love and hate towards EDG. It's truly a case of "a regretful love, a silent sea of ​​resentment flowing endlessly."

The factory manager looked at the words in front of him with a strange expression.

"Did the 'love and hate' trope originate from this novel?"

Abu sneered, "You still won't admit it, huh?"

"No, what would I admit to?"

The factory manager spread his hands, looking completely bewildered.

"Tell me! If you didn't write it, how would this person know that Song Wen kicked...?" Abu hesitated for a moment, even a strong woman like her was somewhat embarrassed to say it aloud, "...kicked my butt!"

The factory manager explained, both angry and annoyed:

"There were so many people at the club at the time, so many people saw it, why insist it was me!"

"Fine, fine, fine!" Abu's face turned even redder. "You said it wasn't you, right? Not only is it 'Love and Hate,' but the 'Chicken and Waves' meme also comes from this novel!"

Abu turned to Chapter 70.

"This chapter was published a day before we officially announced our withdrawal from the competition! When we were discussing withdrawing, the only people present were you, me, and Nofe! Tell me, if it wasn't you, who else could it be?!"

The factory manager was taken aback, thinking it was somewhat unlikely, and looked down to examine it carefully.

The text above reads:

Abu, his expression gloomy, one hand on his hip, the other hand resting on the table with a delicate, pinky finger raised, raised half of his buttocks, and said, "Since that's the case, then withdraw from the competition."

He couldn't help but turn his head to look at his side, where Abu's delicate fingers were tapping impatiently on the table.

This shocked Mingkai.

The author even described Abu's posture, expression, and movements in such detail!

Mingkai initially wanted to retaliate, asking why it couldn't be Abu's own writing? However, after reading this insightful description, he abandoned that idea.

Of the remaining two people, only nofe and him were left.

But Nofe is Korean, how could he possibly write novels?!

Mingkai was stunned, and an incredibly shocking thought popped into his mind.

"Could it be...?"

"I dream of writing a book?!"

-----------------

"It's viral! This guy's really gone viral! I just checked the backend data, and he got over five thousand views yesterday!"

Snake Training Room.

Wang Ke's face showed visible excitement.

Because of the explosive nature of the "Chicken Wave" incident, coupled with the immense popularity of the "love and hate" meme after Song Wen's live stream, Wang Ke's novel experienced an explosive surge in popularity!

In just two or three days, Wang Ke's collection increased from 5,000 to 20,000, and his follow-up reading also increased from more than 1,000 to more than 5,000!

The controversy is still unfolding.

Song Wen had just ended the live stream and said with disdain:

"You're getting this excited over just 3,000 reads? Bro, my live stream has been getting at least 50,000 viewers in real time right now."

"You don't know anything," Wang Ke retorted. "What's so informative about your live stream? People who read novels are all sophisticated, and sophisticated people are always a niche group."

Song Wen said with some disdain, "Is this how you usually flatter your readers?"

"What is flattery? They're my bread and butter! That's called love! That's called respect!"

Song Wen was clearly not very interested in the novel and quickly interrupted:

"Alright, have you noticed any changes these past two days? I feel like I've gotten a little stronger; I just broke into the top ten in the Korean server yesterday."

Wang Ke was taken aback when he heard Song Wen's words.

He hadn't really paid much attention to this matter, but considering that both of them had been doing very well lately, whether it was live streaming or writing novels, Song Wen had become stronger, so he should have become stronger too.

After all, the two of them were in a relationship where one foot stepped on the other and spiraled upwards.

Seeing Wang Ke's expression, Song Wen already understood and said:

"Have you been so busy writing lately that you haven't played any ranked matches?"

"That's true."

"Come on, let's play a couple of games. I'll create an account and duo queue with you!"

Wang Ke sat down next to Song Wen, and both of them were clearly in good spirits.

The Crown Prince team's crimes were exposed and they received due condemnation and scorn. Wang Ke's attempt to shift the blame onto EDG has also turned readers' suspicions toward the team.

Everything seems to be moving in a positive direction.

Of course, the happiest moment right now should be—

"Brotherhood Alliance, activated!"

"Defeat!"

Happy times are always fleeting.
