Chapter 1623: Chapter 1304: Like a Battered Dog, Driven to Desperation (Part 2)

When successful, one should help save the world.

If he were truly great enough, he would have copied the four phrases of Heng Qu long ago: “Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, inherit the lost teachings of past sages, and bring peace to the world for all ages.”

It’s because he hasn’t reached that level of magnanimity, he felt embarrassed to take action.

Maybe after achieving something in a few years and feeling guilt-free, we can test the power of these “four phrases of Heng Qu.”

However, the system did comfort me today.

Let’s just consider myself as an ambassador of Earth culture.

Thinking like this.

Beside him, Jin Mu suddenly answered a phone call, then furrowed his brows.

“What’s wrong?”

“It seems Ling Kong has taken action again, this time hiring a clinging leech; it looks like this guy won’t give up until one of us is dead.”

“Clinging leech?”

Lin Yuan was taken aback, then looked at his phone, and news popped up:

“After Ling Kong, Song Fang attacks: I heard Ling Kong was fired by the Geek Tribe for offending Chu Kuang. As a neutral party with no grievances against Chu Kuang, let me say a few words. I have no ties and am not afraid to offend people.”

“Song Fang?”

“Self-proclaimed Anti-Fake Guardian, in fact, he works for money, quite adept with the pen, very skilled at setting the tone, and has some followers online. Most likely, Ling Kong slipped him an envelope, otherwise this guy wouldn’t lift a finger without profit. Of course, it’s possible he’s just trying to gain attention, but with Ling Kong’s miserable downfall, I don’t believe he wouldn’t recognize the situation; there must be enough benefits driving him, otherwise, with his nature, he’d never dare to provoke Chu Kuang.”

Jin Mu said with a frown.

Evidently, this Song Fang is not someone to be messed with:

“This person is very adept at quibbling, turning things around until the main party is annoyed and reluctant to deal with him anymore, then he proudly declares another victory, or unilaterally announces his victory.”

“Let’s have a look first.”

Lin Yuan clicked open Song Fang’s essay.

Yes.

Just like Ling Kong.

Song Fang also wrote an essay.

However, the difference from Ling Kong is:

The former filled with “I think, I guess”; the latter is better at “facts” and “logic.”

“Ten years ago, in the Han Continent, a small story happened at Heaven’s Publishing House.

People from other continents didn’t know much; I just heard a friend from the Han Continent mention it, found it interesting, and wanted to share it with everyone today.

At that time, Heaven’s Publishing House was on the verge of collapse.

The boss saw this and thought, how could this be, we must come up with a solution.

Finally, they really came up with a solution, which was to create a so-called beautiful woman writer. The achievements of this beautiful woman writer were incredible; she wrote eight books in a year, practically a model of hard work, and thus her reputation spread throughout the Han Continent!

Later, an internal conflict in the company revealed the truth.

It turned out that this goddess of talent was a production line product created by Heaven’s Publishing House, with several quite capable writers standing behind the talented woman, five of whom were even rugged men. At the time, my friend cursed it as a blunder, saying why didn’t these capable people write good works themselves instead of ghostwriting.”

Back then, I didn’t understand either.

Until years later, when the global merger happened, Chu Kuang became famous worldwide. It sounded so impressive, a mysterious writer who never showed his face, prolific like a sow, with a writing style that could be male, female, attack, defend, noble, or adorable, spanning all major types in the book market, seemingly with no genre he couldn’t write…

I seem to understand a bit.

Perhaps this way, they can reach heights unattainable by them alone?

Now I deeply suspect the team behind Chu Kuang is the same group from the Han Continent back then. Team operations and creating a production line product are their specialties.

Chu Kuang is just a new IP.

Now this IP has achieved unprecedented success.

Even if the real Chu Kuang is neither male nor female, neither Yin nor Yang, neither human nor ghost.

The more Ling Kong gets scolded, the more it proves how despicable this so-called Chu Kuang and the team behind him really are.

Everyone says Chu Kuang can conquer capital with talent.

Many people don’t know, Chu Kuang himself is the capital!

This might be another reason why the team can rally other writers to jointly operate under the pen name Chu Kuang?

Perhaps my words offended Chu Kuang’s fans. It’s fine; keep reading, there’s more outrageous stuff later. If you want to know the truth, just keep looking.

…”

Song Fang indeed conducted an investigation, or even had someone assist him with it. In the later part of the article, Song Fang specifically analyzed Chu Kuang’s works, attempting to use such comparisons to tell readers, the stylistic differences in these works couldn’t possibly be from the same hand.

Lin Yuan nearly thought he had indeed encountered a GOAT.

Upon closer look, this person was nothing but someone who spoke without basis.

“In the so-called Legend of the Condor Heroes trilogy, the third part, ‘Heaven-Reliant Dragon Slayer,’ surely changed authors. Compared to the first two parts, both the tone, the connotation, and the creation style of the plot show obvious differences…”

Such things are quite subjective.

However, Song Fang’s analysis, quite paradoxically, gave a rather compelling feeling of sufficient reasoning.

This guy also enjoys inserting humor, sarcasm, and mockery, pretending to imitate free-spirited literati, but in reality, it’s just interspersed with occasional vulgar language to ridicule Chu Kuang, to flaunt his genuine, high-minded virtue.

“How can a humble brow bow before the powerful, causing my joy to wane?”

In his final argument, Song Fang directly aligns himself with the underprivileged, portraying a stance that Chu Kuang equates to capital. Even if I, Someone Song, am daring to confront this truth today, I do so without complaints or regrets. It’s uncertain whether by coincidence or intent, the final quote he used was from the piece Xian Yu wrote on Mount Lu back in the day.
