Chapter 44: 044 Let the Novel Gain Popularity

Emperor: En?

It was only 8 in the morning on Brother Dog’s side of the capital, but he was already at the office when he usually came in at 9.

Seeing the person who had made him wildly frustrated for half a day simply reply to him with a message like that.

Brother Dog suddenly felt his heart turning cold.

It felt as if what he had sent before that was just a bunch of unreasonable nonsense.

Dogtail Grass: Video! I need an explanation!

Emperor: Explain what? I made it. Is there a clause in the contract stating that the author is not allowed to create a spin-off of his own novel with the same name?

Dogtail Grass: …

Obviously not.

But!

There hadn’t been such an incident before ah!

Brother Dog had obviously seen the video as well, and it had blinded Brother Dog’s 24k titanium diamond dog eyes.

He had met authors who were cool and arrogant, but it was the first time Brother Dog had met an author like this.

After he saw a comment on the bullet screen stating ‘Special effects are estimated to be worth tens of millions of US dollars,’ he felt his soul ascending to heaven.

He hadn’t expected that this author he had signed with would give him such a massive surprise on the second day!

Dogtail Grass: No, big brother, do you have a professional team with you? You’re so capable, why do you want to write a novel?

Emperor: I like it!

With just three words, it had made Brother Dog shut his mouth and think about life.

On the other hand, after Jun Ci had washed her face, she checked it.

Hm…

Still so ugly!

The more she looked at it, the more frustrated she felt.

If this face wasn’t her own face, Jun Ci wouldn’t have even dared to even look at it.

But ever since she had taken the medicine, she had to check whether there were any signs of recovery on her face almost everyday.

Although Gu Lu had said that the effects wouldn’t be so quick. Otherwise, it wouldn’t require a three month recovery period.

Actually, it was already heaven-defying to have a toxin accumulation condition like this treated within three months.

But she just couldn’t suppress herself psychologically.

Jun Ci softly sighed and wore her mask, then she saw Grandfather Chang and Grandmother Chang opening the door.

“Good morning, Cici!”

The two elderly people smiled widely as they greeted Jun Ci, and she waved back as usual. “Grandpa, Grandma, I’m going out for a run.”

“Ay, alright, go on, I’ll let you drink the soya bean milk that I hand-squeezed when you’re back.”

Grandmother Chang’s heart ached to her core for Jun Ci.

“Alright, Grandma.”

After that, Jun Ci went out.

It was the weekend so there were no classes. She was about to go for a run to train her body.

While running, she received another message from Brother Dog, who was probably done thinking about life.

Dogtail Grass: No, something isn’t right. Didn’t you say that you’re in need of money? Then this video…

This video was definitely created with money.

Someone like that actually dared to say that he didn’t have money?!

It was indeed true!

But Jun Ci couldn’t tell him the truth.

When she saw this, she smiled and found that this person wasn’t dumb. He had managed to figure it out so quickly.

Of course, the reason Jun Ci had already come up with was simple and rough.

Emperor: I made the video a long time ago. The company went bankrupt and the employees left, so I misappropriated the video. Now I’m publishing it to freeload on its popularity and make my novel more popular.

Dogtail Grass: …

This reason was utterly ridiculous!

Which company is so selfless to allow you to just take a video away just like that, huh?

But there were some things that Brother Dog understood as well.

It just wasn’t easy to talk about it.

Also, these four words ‘freeloading on its popularity’ simply made Brother Dog feel like nothing made sense anymore.

It was the first time he had seen such an explosive video being used just to gain popularity for a novel.
