Chapter 987 -915: You were born before me; by the time I was born, you were already old.

Chapter 987 -915: You were born before me; by the time I was born, you were already old.

“The so-called ‘Seeing Yang Guo once, you err in life.'”

This was the original title in “The Return of the Condor Heroes.”

In just seven words, it summed up the regrets of several girls in “The Legend of the Condor Heroes.”

At the release of this book review, the trend of reversing public opinion had become unstoppable, and Yi An’s comment section was particularly lively:

“Damn the charm of Yang Guo!”

“That old rascal Chu Kuang didn’t forget to torture us severely with Guo Xiang’s unrequited love in the end!”

“I really like Yi An’s conclusion about Guo Xiang: ‘You were born before me, and when I was born, you were already old.'”

“It’s all about timing, alas.”

“How many regrets in the world does this phrase encompass?”

“This is why I like Yi An’s reviews, he comes up with such moving phrases effortlessly, like the previous one ‘May you wander half your life and come back still young.’ This phrase ‘You were born before me, and when I was born, you were already old’ is even more amazing!”

“After reading this review, I feel even sorrier for Guo Xiang!”

“Let’s make an irreverent guess about Little Dragon Maiden: if Guo Xiang were replaced by Guo Fu, then ‘The Return of the Condor Heroes’ might well have been about Yang Guo and Guo Xiang. When Yang Guo leapt off the cliff in the latter part of the novel, Guo Xiang jumped down with him—there’s the evidence. That’s why even Yi An lamented with the phrase, ‘You were born before me, and when I was born, you were already old.’ It all comes down to Guo Xiang appearing at the wrong time. When she met Yang Guo, his heart was already full of the Dragon Maiden.”

Eunice Lam’s original book review, of course, didn’t contain such a sentence as “You were born before me, and when I was born, you were already old.”

Including the previously mentioned summary “May you wander half your life and come back still young,” was also Lin Yuan’s spontaneous sentiment.

At this moment.

The popularity of the second book review was in no way inferior to the first one!

Even some media outlets quoted Yi An’s two book reviews!

Like the phrase “May you wander half your life and come back still young,” this book review popularized a phrase!

It was “You were born before me, and when I was born, you were already old,” which resonated with countless readers!

For some literary youths, this phrase was nothing short of a coup de grace, enough to elevate their sympathy for Guo Xiang to heights of imagination!

Guo Xiang was certainly hot.

A certain writer on Earth named Cheng Lingsu wrote a piece called “To Guo Xiang”:

As I walked past the mountains, the mountains didn’t speak; as I passed by the sea, the sea was silent;

The donkey I was riding ticked along step by step, the Heaven’s Sword I was carrying remained mute.

They say I live in seclusion on Emei Mountain because I love the hero Yang Guo and couldn’t find him; in fact, I just like the mist on Emei Mountain, it’s like the fireworks that bloomed when I was sixteen…

The charm of Guo Xiang is evident!

Lin Yuan considered writing this piece when he got the chance.

And as things developed to this point, all subsequent twists and turns came naturally!

The day after the protest march ended, and also on the third day that Lin Yuan and Jin Mu had agreed upon, the sales and popularity of “The Return of the Condor Heroes” surged dramatically, as the novel’s reputation rebounded against the odds!

It should be noted:

After the Dragon Maiden Incident, the sales of “The Return of the Condor Heroes” were almost cut in half, scaring bookstores senseless, fearing they had truly been conned by the old rascal!

The book’s reputation also plunged to rock bottom.

Accompanied by all kinds of profanity hurled at Chu Kuang by readers, the previous ratings for “The Return of the Condor Heroes” on Star Sky moved downward, uncharacteristically below what Chu Kuang had written!

Now everything was improving.

The thresholds of bookstores were trampled over once again, with readers coming to buy “The Return of the Condor Heroes” in an ever-more continuous stream!

Even more miraculously:

Although the Dragon Maiden Incident had brought a very adverse impact on “The Return of the Condor Heroes,” looking back now, people realized that this controversy had formed an effect similar to perfect hype!

It sparked the curiosity of even more people about the book!

There were even conspiracy theorists who suspected that the incident itself was a publicity stunt!

Perhaps in the future, gossip would circulate like this: “Chu Kuang, to surpass ‘The Legend of the Condor Heroes’ in sales, did not hesitate to write about the Little Dragon Maiden’s loss of chastity for the sake of hype.”

And the conspiracy theories about “The Return of the Condor Heroes” didn’t stop there.

A more outrageous claim suggested that the Little Dragon Maiden whom Yang Guo met after sixteen years was not the Little Dragon Maiden at all, but the daughter of Little Dragon Maiden and Zhen Zhibing?

Compared to this.

Some people saying that Yang Guo also had feelings for Guo Xiang, and even other female characters like Lu Wushuang and Sun Green Dew, hardly seemed remarkable.

Anyway, “The Return of the Condor Heroes” was a big hit!

This was probably the first time a novel experienced a resurgence twice!

Because this fire had died down for a day, then burned even more intensely!

More and more readers who previously abandoned the book due to the Dragon Maiden Incident finished “The Return of the Condor Heroes”!

…

On the Tribe.

Netizens kept discussing:

“Didn’t expect Ouyang Feng and Hong Qigong to end up dying together. Maybe that moment was foreshadowed on the big boat in ‘The Legend of the Condor Heroes,’ but because of the Dragon Maiden, when I read this part, I didn’t feel it was too heartbreaking, just a sense of sorrow.”

“Mainly because this part of the plot wasn’t so tragic.”

“It’s quite meaningful that two legendary figures who fought all their lives could bury the hatchet with a smile in the end. The fact that Ouyang Feng regained his senses before dying is truly touching, I can’t bring myself to hate this top villain from ‘The Legend of the Condor Heroes’ anymore.”

“Damn it, this old rascal got away with it again!”

“I’ll never dare let this old rascal write as he pleases again. I even left a message in his comment section before, telling him not to bow down to readers and the market. Damn it, and this is what he does!”

“I like ‘The Return of the Condor Heroes’ and hate the old rascal at the same time!”

“From Biyao to Poirot, and from Sherlock Holmes to ‘The Return of the Condor Heroes,’ they always say three strikes and you’re out, but this old rascal actually caused four reader revolts, each with a scale and impact more exaggerated than the last!”

Meanwhile.

On blogs.

Likewise, a multitude of netizens discussed:

“Damn this old rascal, even though I was persuaded by Yi An and Professor Wang, my heart is still not satisfied!”

“Now that I think about it, I’m so angry. I don’t know how other people accepted this part of the plot. Without it, I would still like ‘The Return of the Condor Heroes’ just fine!”

“Weren’t they talking about heaven’s loss and earth’s lack?”

“Why doesn’t the old rascal experience his own loss of heaven!”

“That’s too harsh—loss of heaven refers to Yang Guo losing an arm, Chu Kuang needs his hands to write us books, losing a leg would be fine.”

“Hahaha, that’s wicked, I like it!”

And amid the intense discussions of the readers, some on the blogs suddenly said, “Look quickly, the blog is at it again, the rankings are reopening!”

The netizens looked, and indeed it was so!

The blog had whipped up that send-a-razor-blade event again!

And Chu Kuang’s option was in the lead, his count of razor blades already far ahead!

Netizens got excited:

“Guys, hurry, hurry, hurry, send those blades flying, let this old rascal know we’ve forgiven him this time, but if he dares pull this stunt again, those blades will be hanging over his head!”

Swish swish swish!

Although it was fake and had no substantial meaning, the netizens’ enthusiasm for sending razor blades was unprecedented!

Thirty million!

Fifty million!

One hundred million!

One hundred and twenty million!

Not long after the event started, Chu Kuang had already received over a hundred million blades, and that number was still crazily rising—who knew how many billion blades he would end up with!

At once.

The users of the Tribe were not happy:

“This Tribe has become less and less fun. Chu Kuang is on the blog, they can do a send-a-razor-blade event, and I can’t even send him blades if I want to!”

“Simple, just register a blog account.”

“I’ve already registered, from now on I’ll play on the blog. That old rascal is mixing on the blog, I can only conveniently cuss him out there. From now on, when I’m in a bad mood, I’ll just curse him!”

“Brother above, handshake, I’ve always done it this way.”

“Hahahahaha, let’s go, send razor blades on the blog!”

“I’m dying of laughter, the event has only been live for three hours, and Chu Kuang has already received two hundred and thirty million blades—how much resentment do these readers have to gather together? The second-place Yi An is lagging by eighteen million miles!”

“Obviously, everyone is using this method to disgust the old rascal.”

“We must disgust him thoroughly, how many times has this guy disgusted us, I’ve never seen such a heartlessly insane author!”

“I’ve also cast a lot, even used my sister’s account!”

Nobody expected this seemingly boring event to actually lead to a mass migration of users from the Tribe to the blog. It was unknown how much resentment the readers actually harbored against Chu Kuang.

Soon.

The Tribe’s traffic plummeted!

Learning this news, the higher-ups at the Tribe were stunned!

They could never have anticipated that a small event on the blog could deal such a blow to their daily traffic!

What the hell?

Are you guys serious?

It’s as if Chu Kuang could really receive those blades!

The internet is all virtual!

Damn!

If it weren’t for the fear of being sued by Chu Kuang, they would have wanted to conduct a similar event.

One of the higher-ups shouted in anger: “I want to send him blades too!”

At that moment, another higher-up said faintly: “First, you would need a blog account.”

…

Meanwhile, amidst the raging send-a-razor-blade event.

The total number of razor blades received by Chu Kuang broke through five billion by seven o’clock that night, with the runner-up Yi An only at twenty million!

At that point.

The blog suddenly pulled a sly move.

They actually published the razor blade sending situation for each continent!

From the data of each continent’s razor blade sending, it was clear that Zhao Continent’s numbers were the most, definitely far ahead!

In that moment.

The netizens from Qin, Qi, Chu, Yan, and Han were laughing crazily—they could almost sense the Zhao people’s gritted teeth against the old rascal through their screens!

“Are the Zhao Continent brothers still arrogant?”

“Do you now understand how hateful Chu Kuang is?”

“Didn’t you say Zhao Continent wouldn’t tolerate an author this awesome?”

“I remember there was a Zhao person who commented before: ‘I’ve grown so big, I’ve never seen someone so arrogant.'”

“Hahaha!”

“Today you’ve witnessed it!”

“Chu Kuang’s ability to slap readers in the face is on par with his writing skills, this wave the old rascal has really showed Zhao Continent how to be a person.”

When the event ended, the unity and friendship were gone.

The netizens from Qin, Qi, Chu, Yan, and Han started mocking the Zhao people for fun again.

Damn it!

The Zhao Continent netizens angrily replied:

“Sending razor blades shows we hate him, maybe you guys are still supporting him, but there are hardly any people buying his books in our Zhao Continent now!”

“Exactly!”

“Who wants his crappy book!”

“Let ‘The Return of the Condor Heroes’ be unsellable in Zhao Continent!”

“I sure didn’t buy it, no one around me did either, those who bought it tore it up; we will firmly boycott this author from now on. It’s only you Qin, Qi, Chu, Yan, and Han readers who still treat him like a treasure.”

“We Zhao people are all tough as nails!”

“This kind of author, Zhao Continent never indulges, no one can write NTR and think to leave unscathed, even using a pseudonym is useless!”

However.

Just then.

Suddenly the media researched the sales data for ‘The Return of the Condor Heroes’ across the continents.

In the sales data published by the media, the surprising and visible fact was—’The Return of the Condor Heroes’ was most popular and best-selling in—

Zhao Continent!

Zhao Continent netizens: “? ? ?”
