"good."

Ye Zhou smiled slightly, quite satisfied.

He sank further into the soft sofa, completely relaxing and enjoying the movie.

The lighthearted atmosphere of the comedy, combined with the enhanced audiovisual experience, makes it a truly top-notch enjoyment.

What Ye Zhou didn't know was that at this moment, as he leisurely lay down—

The entire Dianyue Chinese website has gone completely insane because of this "old thief who stopped updating," and the news continues to spread across the entire internet.

If the previous "death of Lao Tang" only broke the hearts of some readers, then this indefinite hiatus has turned the comment section into a sea of ​​fire.

It's like you've just started talking about marriage with a beautiful woman, but she suddenly says she's not going to play anymore at the engagement party.

Who can stand this!

If Ye Zhou didn't lack a Weibo account, the pressure would probably be on Weibo's official platform right now.

That's right, from now on, the technical staff at Dianyue are completely overwhelmed.

Server alerts kept popping up in red, bandwidth was being overwhelmed, and refreshing the comment section would cause a delay of several seconds.

"Expand capacity! Expand capacity immediately! Bring up all backup servers!"

The head of the technical department stared at the monitoring panel, his face turning green, and roared until his throat was hoarse: "Damn it, if you're not going to write, fine, but why did you have to provoke the readers?"

Correspondingly, the book review section was overflowing with anger.

This is no small matter; it's a real uproar that will shake the heavens and earth.

Countless readers read the last sentence at the end with tears in their eyes: "By the way, don't rush me, I won't update even if you do."

This is tantamount to killing someone by destroying their spirit.

A single, seemingly insignificant line of text is ten times more ruthless than the earlier statement that Old Tang was killed.

It's obvious that—

I'm not going to change it, what can you do to me?

Frustration and anger piled up in their chests, almost bursting out.

The only outlet for readers' venting is the book review section.

[Stop nagging me, I still haven't updated!]

[You old scoundrel, you really dare to write this! Is this even human language?!]

[To kill someone is to destroy their spirit! A blatant act of destroying their spirit!]

I've never felt so frustrated in my entire life!

What's with this feeling that winning is even more painful than losing?!

[You old scoundrel Ye, you're not human! How could you treat me like this!]

……

Some people were so angry they smashed their phones, some were so angry they spun around in circles, and some gritted their teeth and planned to send razor blades.

The hashtag #Dragon RajaDiscontinued# rose to the top of the trending topics list on various self-media platforms at an incredible speed, driven by readers.

Then came the hashtag #WhereDoesOldThiefYeLive?IWantToSendBlades#

Ye Zhou occupied the top three spots on the trending topics lists of various self-media platforms.

This demonstrates the terrifying influence of "Dragon Raja".

This is quite normal. Ye Zhou himself has extremely high popularity, and "Dragon Raja" is a unique masterpiece. The official Dianyue team naturally invested most of their resources in it.

And here, the production team of "Life in All Its Forms" also secretly gave it a push.

The popular celebrities in the entertainment industry fell silent as they watched the trending topic suddenly appear at the top of the list.

They painstakingly bought trending topics, manipulated data, and fabricated scandals, only to be easily crushed by a web novel author who had stopped updating his work, leaving not even a trace behind.

Meanwhile, inside a luxury mansion owned by Yang Mi.

"Tell me, what's the current situation?"

Yang Mi looked at the data reports on the tablet computer, her brows furrowing slightly.

Opposite them sat two women, each with their own unique charm: popular celebrity Ouyang Na'er and her agent Zhang Man.

Yang Mi is furious. She just returned from filming, only to find that the trending topic she had spent five million to buy for her company's newly signed artist had run into problems.

The money was spent, but it didn't trend on social media.

It's not that they couldn't get up there, it's that they simply couldn't.

Yang Mi originally wanted to use this opportunity to bring her company's newly signed artists to the big screen!

But in just a few hours, all of this vanished like bubbles.

Therefore, Yang Mi immediately summoned his most trusted key personnel from Jiaxing Tianxia Entertainment Company.

"Sister Mi, we've tried, but the trending topics are overwhelmed. All the trending topics channels on all platforms are paralyzed. Even if we add more money, we still can't get it up there."

Agent Zhang Man spoke cautiously.

"Can't it get through?"

Yang Mi's face instantly darkened: "I spent five million to buy this trending topic, and it's all gone just like that!!!"

"Sister Mi..."

Ouyang Na'er said with a strange expression, "It's a novel that's been very popular these past few days, 'Dragon Raja,' that has stopped updating."

"..."

Yang Mi didn't react for a moment.

novel?

Hiatus?

They just wiped out the trending topic she spent five million to buy?

The air was silent for a full three seconds.

"Na'er, say it again? What made the trending topic I bought disappear?"

Yang Mi blinked, seemingly wondering if she was hallucinating.

Ouyang Na'er didn't say anything, but simply held her phone screen in front of Yang Mi's eyes.

The screen was filled with readers' wails, curses, and scenes of emotional breakdown.

[Old scoundrel Ye, I'm begging you, please update with one more chapter!]

[I could tolerate Old Tang dying, but what's with this sudden halt to updates?!]

Having been in the entertainment industry for over a decade, she has witnessed countless power struggles and battles for popularity, but she has never seen such an outrageous scene.

A web novel author, without relying on scandals or marketing, can create such a terrifying traffic black hole simply by "discontinuing updates," with even the five million she invested disappearing without a trace.

"Interesting. I might need to find a chance to read Dragon Raja."

Yang Mi leaned back on the leather sofa, her beautiful eyes sparkling with interest.

"Sister Mi, you'd better not fall into this trap. That guy is absolutely despicable!"

Ouyang Na'er clenched her little fists indignantly.

"You silly girl, it seems I've been keeping you too idle lately."

Yang Mi chuckled at Ouyang Na'er's childlike demeanor and gently tapped her forehead: "I'll see what scripts suit you tomorrow!"

"Sister Mi, no!"

Ouyang Na'er's pretty face immediately fell: "I've only been resting for a short while!"

"Sister Mi, Na'er is just being sarcastic. You've been too busy lately and probably haven't been paying attention, but this book has become incredibly popular these past few days. The reader loyalty is terrifying."

"The author killed off an important character, then went on an indefinite hiatus, and deliberately provoked the readers... causing all the readers to riot."

Zhang Man, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but laugh and stepped in to smooth things over: "We were just unlucky. We had just bought the trending topic and it got pushed down."

"Who is this person?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Mi frowned slightly and murmured to herself.
