Chapter Fifty-six: Interview

  Lu Li couldn't remember what time he fell asleep the night before, only knowing that he didn't wake up as early as usual in the morning, until a phone call came and woke him up.

  Hearing the phone ring, Lu Li opened his eyes to find that it was Gu Feng editor calling. He answered the phone and said vaguely: "So early, what's up?"

  "I'm going, it's still early, it's already noon." Gu Feng editor heard Lu Li's words and said in a bad tone, but thinking that Lu Li probably slept very late last night, he said: "It's a bit troublesome, someone said your monthly ticket champion is brushed out, many people have called the website to complain."

  Lu Li glanced around and found that Gao Mu and Wu Chuan were still sleeping, but Cao Jinpeng had gone home. It wasn't until then that he remembered that the people in his dorm usually got up at noon, so he thought it was still early when he saw them sleeping soundly. It seemed that he had slept for a really long time this time.

  "Dizzy, this reward is also considered brushing, why did you guys open the reward function?" Lu Li heard Gu Feng's words and woke up a bit, remembering that his tone was not very good earlier, and continued to explain: "Besides, 10 million, I have so much money to give to your website for free, just for a monthly vote champion, is it worth it?"

  On the other hand, Gu Feng also heard Lu Li's words and was delighted. Indeed, it is a very simple truth that anyone can understand. When the reward function of the web was first opened, someone questioned the function, thinking it was relying on money to brush up votes. However, this function has brought huge profits to the website, and slowly it has been accepted by people and even considered as a very good interactive function.

  But why are there still so many people complaining about "The Hunt" for this reason?

  It's not hard to figure out, actually. As a newcomer, Lu Li's first month on the shelves was so aggressive that it seriously threatened the interests of most authors and even posed a threat to many people, so these people naturally wanted to make things difficult for "The Eagle Shooting Heroes". They don't care about reason or not, as long as you can't explain clearly, they'll just accuse you of being a fake and leave you speechless.

  It's also possible that some people feel jealous when they see Lu Li suddenly becoming popular. Some fans of other authors who lost to him might think that "The Archer" is overrated, and would naturally agree with others who say so, otherwise how could "The Archer" defeat the work of their idol?

  Taking all these reasons into account, many people were naturally dissatisfied with "The Archer" winning the monthly ticket chart champion, so they called in to complain about "The Archer". Of course, if Lu Li is a great god or even a supreme god, then there's no problem at all. However, as a newcomer, Lu Li was inevitably criticized by some people who clung to this unreasonable reason to annoy him.

  In fact, the Internet doesn't need to pay attention to such complaints at all. A simple sentence that after checking "The Archer" did not brush votes and conforms to the monthly vote competition rules can dismiss these people.

  But Shi Maozhou, the chief editor of the website, told Lu Li's editor Gu Feng: "We can ignore it, but if we don't give a reasonable explanation, it will be detrimental to Lu Li's development. Some people may even use this as an excuse to attack our website, thinking that we are allowing vote-buying for profit. So you'd better communicate with Lu Li and provide a reasonable explanation to prove that he is not a vote-buyer. If that doesn't work, it's okay, we're not helpless."

  Gu Feng thought about what the editor-in-chief said and decided to make this call to Lu Li.

  Lu Li listened to the editor's explanation of the cause and effect, and finally understood what was going on. However, Lu Li couldn't think of an explanation at the moment, so he simply said: "I don't know how to explain it either, anyway I didn't think there would be so much money involved."

  Gu Feng editor heard Lu Li's words that were equivalent to nothing, and naturally smiled bitterly. He still said to let Lu Li think again, and if he really couldn't think of anything, then hung up the phone.

  Ludie couldn't sleep at this moment either. He got up, washed and updated two chapters in a daze before going out to eat something.

  When Lu Li received Gu Feng's phone call again, he finally knew that there was a solution to the matter, but he still had to nod his head in agreement. It turned out that this matter still had to be thanked to Lao Shui.

  December 1st at 12:00 sharp, Lao Wai announces that his new book will start uploading.

  As one of the few big shots on the web, I, Lao Wai, have been arranged by my new book website for a text-based interview to create momentum for my new book.

  In an interview, Guo Jingyu wrote: "The new book can meet with everyone so quickly, thanks to 'The Eagle Shooting Heroes' which gave me a lot of inspiration, that's why I have this new book."

  The host was very perceptive and asked upon seeing this: "It seems that even the Emperor himself is a reader of 'The Legend of the Condor Hero'. Then, please tell me how you view the issue of 'The Legend of the Condor Hero' topping the online charts?"

  It was actually something that I had discussed with the website beforehand, and the method was naturally proposed by me. After telling the editor of the website, they immediately designed this question.

  When I saw this question, Jiǎo Rén Lǎo Shī laughed and quickly typed on the keyboard: "All I can say is hehe, 100 million yuan. If I had to take it out just to brush up a monthly ticket champion, I think I wouldn't do it. Besides, whether Lǜ Lí can take out 100 million or not is still a question." After a pause, Jiǎo Rén Lǎo Shī continued: "Due to a coincidence, I got to know Lǜ Lí and his family situation. Maybe many people in China know Lǜ Lí, just look at this link and you'll know, the Lǜ Lí inside is the author of 'The Legend of the Condor Hero'."

  Behind, I added a link.

  Since it was the press conference for Guaren Laowu's new book, naturally they wouldn't discuss other things too much, just touch on them briefly. The host quickly shifted the topic back to Guaren Laowu's new book and started doing some good promotion for it.

  The happiest ones are Lu Li's book fans, although many people believe that Lu Li did not brush, but the players of Tiankong Forum saw the post "Shu Ge" brushing the list, wanted to refute but couldn't produce evidence, and were scolded as a brainwasher party, who would understand their grievances?

  The butterfly is like this, the old wet of the lonely person's new book interview also saw it, and when he saw the lonely person's old wet so proud and excited, after all, the lonely person's old wet is a great god-level author.

  After finishing reading, Ya Kuai Die couldn't wait to click on the link attached by Lao Shui and found out that Lu Li was actually a child from a poor family.

  Then, Yaqudie opened a post on the Tiankong Forum in a hurry, according to Guaren Laoshi's words, to rectify the name of Luli. Although it had some effect, but 1b and Jinguo were still spraying, saying that Guaren Laoshi said so, who knows what Guaren Laoshi's purpose was?

  It was under such circumstances that Lu Li received another call from Gu Feng, saying that there was a way to resolve the issue, but he needed to reveal his identity publicly.

  Lu Li received the call and considered it for a moment. He thought that revealing his true identity now would only make him seem like he was using his age as a gimmick to promote "The Legend of Archery". However, if he were to reveal his identity now, combined with the current record-breaking rewards and the online rumors about brushing up the rankings, it could also have a very good promotional effect.

  After careful consideration, Lu Li agreed to reveal her true identity on the website.

  After witnessing the popularity of "The Archery", the net also paid attention to Lu Li, and the reaction speed was very fast. After Lu Li and Gu Feng editor finished the phone call, a notice was quickly released in the most eye-catching place on the net, announcing that Lu Li's monthly ticket champion did not have any vote-buying behavior, and confirmed that the message revealed by Jiao Ren in the interview was true and reliable. At the end of the announcement, it also announced that there would be a "Face-to-Face with the Author" interview with Lu Li on the next day at 2 pm.

  "Face-to-Face with the Author" interview is actually a text-based interview, but it will also post a photo of the author. During the interview process, the host conducts face-to-face interviews with the author and simultaneously uploads the text to the web, where book lovers can ask questions online under the host's guidance.

  As soon as the announcement was released, the voices on Tianya Forum that accused Lu Li of being a fake gradually subsided. Although many people still felt uncomfortable in their hearts, continuing to shout would be self-inflicted humiliation, a clownish behavior.

  The comment section of "The Eagle Shooting Heroes" is even more excited. Many people have already seen the links posted by Guaren Laowei, and many people had seen this video when it happened before. But now that they know Lu Li is the author of "The Eagle Shooting Heroes", many people are even more curious - how can such a big boy write a book like "The Eagle Shooting Heroes"?

  Moreover, "Face to Face with Writers" also allows readers to interact with authors online, and many people hope that they will be selected by the host to chat with Lu Xun online for a few sentences.

  Lu Li only saw the announcement posted online at night and felt a bit puzzled about the interview mentioned later, because Gu Feng editor didn't mention this matter on the phone.

  Although he felt sudden about the extra interview, Lu Li didn't feel resistant because he was usually busy. Except for chatting with a few people like Wenzi on the internet, Lu Li almost had no time to communicate with other book friends.

  For these book friends who are very supportive of themselves, Lu Li thinks it's good to have some time to communicate with them, and it's also a kind of welfare for them. However, Lu Li also called the Gu Feng editor to ask about the situation, and after knowing that someone would contact himself tomorrow, he put down this matter.

  After coding for a while and saving the draft, Lu Li started practicing guitar again after suspending it for several days. High Wood had already taught Lu Li the basics of playing the guitar some time ago, so now Lu Li just needed to practice more and get familiar with playing.

  Lu Li went to bed on time at around 11 o'clock.
