Chapter 67: Though I walk among thousands of people

  Chapter 67: Though a thousand people may say so, I will go nonetheless.

  Just as I was about to fall asleep after crawling into bed, a scream like the killing of a pig from inside the dormitory woke me up.

  "Lu Li, you're a scourge on society, I'm going to kill you!" Lu Li heard the shouting clearly after he came to.

  "I said, Second Brother, what's wrong with you at this late hour." Lu Li heard the shout was made by Wu Chuan and scolded him. Gao Mu and Cao Junpeng also looked at Wu Chuan with ill intentions, who called out loudly to disturb the three people in the dormitory.

  "Big brother, third brother, don't look at me like that. It's really Third Brother who has gone too far." Wu Chuan ignored Lu Li and instead said to Gao Mu and Cao Junpeng: "Go take a look at the latest chapter of 'The Divine Eagle' and you'll know what Lu Li did, my little Dragon Girl!"

  Lu Li heard Wu Chuan's words and finally understood why he had let out such a loud cry. It turned out that it was because of "The Condor Hero".

  Takahashi and Cao Jinping, who were sitting in front of the computer, also opened YY after hearing Wu Chuan's words, preparing to see what was going on. These people usually only watch before going to bed at night, and their bedtime is much later than Lu Li's.

  Wu Chuan had already come directly to Lu Li's bedside: "Fourth brother, I don't care what you think, but this plot with Little Dragon Girl must be changed, otherwise I won't let you off."

  Lu Li didn't care about Wu Chuan's threat, turned over and said: "Go away, I'm still sleeping, don't look if you don't like it." Towards the brothers in the dormitory, Lu Li naturally wouldn't be as polite as he was to others.

  "You..." After hearing Lu Li's words, Wu Chuan was extremely angry, but he couldn't do anything to Lu Li. Others could scold Lu Li, but as brothers, they would only be able to say a few words to him, and definitely wouldn't be able to scold him.

  Lu Li turned a deaf ear to Wu Chuan, who could only complain to Gao Mu and Cao Jinping: "Boss and Third Brother, you come and judge for yourselves. Look at Fourth's attitude, I don't believe you can bear the sight of Little Dragon Maiden losing her chastity."

  After saying this, Wu Chuan also turned over and went to sleep with his head buried under the covers.

  Takahashi also stood on Wu Chuan's side after reading it: "Fourth brother, this time you've written something that really can't be tolerated. Who made Little Dragon Maiden so perfect? I think anyone would find such a plot unacceptable."

  Cao Jinping also said: "I think it's better to make some changes here, you see the comments section of Lao Si's book has already started rioting, if not for Mosquito, the situation would be even more severe."

  Several people's conversation Lu Li naturally heard clearly, but didn't say anything, pretending to be asleep.

  Takahashi and Cao Jinping also knew that Lu Li was not asleep, but seeing him not speaking, they didn't think it was good to say anything more. The two of them wouldn't shout loudly like Wu Chuan did.

  The next morning, Lu Li finished his morning exercise and returned to the dormitory to turn on the computer. He logged in to YY and saw that everything was normal.

  "Lu Li Da, what's going on? Are you still planning to change the plot of 'The Condor Hero'? The fans are already opposing it, and Lu Meng's current situation is not optimistic either." This was a message from Liu Xiao Wen.

  "Oh no, the group is going to explode! Where have you been?"

  ……

  Lu Lian opened one by one yy message, all of which were sent by some members of the Lu Alliance, asking Lu Lian to hurry up and modify "The Divine Eagle".

  Lu Li closed all these messages without replying to a single one.

  Then Lu Li came to the "Condor Hero" book review section and saw Liu Xiaowen's top post, which was a soothing post for the rioting book fans. He didn't expect things to have gone this far, and someone actually said they wanted to dox him.

  Below are many book reviews expressing anger and dissatisfaction with Lu Li's new plot, with many people strongly demanding that Lu Li revise this chapter, not a single person supporting Lu Li, presenting a one-sided situation.

  Lu Li looked at these posts in silence, and he finally felt the pressure that Jin Da had endured at that time.

  But what can he do, revise? That's impossible. On the one hand, Lu Li doesn't have such a foundation in writing, and on the other hand, revising would completely change the subsequent plot of "The Divine Eagle", which Lu Li couldn't write at all.

  Lu Di finally decided to ignore these book reviews and closed the page.

  The sound of "bang bang bang" rang out, and Lu Li stood up to open the dormitory door, only to find a young man standing outside who was not much older than himself.

  Lu Li had never seen this person before and asked: "May I ask who you are?"

  "The newcomer heard Lu Li's words and replied."

  Lu Li knew who the other person was as soon as he heard this familiar voice, let alone when the visitor mentioned his name. The last time at the Writers' Annual Meeting, Gu Feng editor didn't attend due to some reason, so although Lu Li and Gu Feng were already very familiar with each other online and on the phone, it was still their first meeting in reality.

  "It turned out to be Gu Feng editor, please come in and sit down." Lu Li was very grateful to Gu Feng editor, and hurriedly warmly invited Gu Feng into the house, brought a stool for Gu Feng to sit on, and poured a glass of water for Gu Feng.

  After doing all this, Lu Li finally said: "Gu Feng editor came to find me so early, is there something?"

  Although he had already guessed Gu Feng's intention, Lu Li still pretended not to know.

  Upon hearing Lu Li's question, Gu Feng's tone was not quite right, and he hummed a response: "Go on, I couldn't even get through to you by phone. If it weren't for the contract having your contact address, I really wouldn't know where to find you."

  Lu Li heard this and scratched her head, but didn't say anything.

  Gu Feng saw Lu Li's appearance and continued to say: "Have you seen the book review section? If it's just a few book fans' opinions, you can ignore them. But when all the book friends are against you, you have to think about your own problems. And I've also read 'The Divine Eagle', to be honest, I not only want to eliminate Yin Zhiping, but I even want to get rid of the author too. By the way, do you know how many collections 'The Divine Eagle' has lost?"

  As for what Lü Di said, Lu Li naturally knew everything. When he saw the collection through the author's background in the morning, he couldn't believe it either. Overnight, the remaining collections of "The Divine Eagle" were sparse.

  "Hmm, I knew all that, but The Return of the Condor Hero really can't be changed." Lu Li had no choice but to yield, and said stubbornly.

  "Foolish!" Gu Feng finally burst out after hearing Lu Li's words: "Do you know that this is a taboo in online literature? This way, the popularity accumulated by your two books 'Fantasy City' and 'The Shooting Hero' will be lost. Is it just a small plot change? Why are you so stubborn?"

  When Lu Li heard Gu Feng's words, he knew that Gu Feng was truly angry, but he also had no choice. This wasn't just a matter of modifying a small plot point; it was a problem that required rewriting the entire book. If Lu Li had the ability to rewrite the whole thing, then spending more time revising wouldn't be an issue, but the key was that Lu Li didn't have this skill yet.

  When Gu Feng spoke, he didn't suppress his voice, so the other three people who usually got up late also woke up to the noise. Seeing that there was a guest in the dormitory, they all got out of bed. After learning that the visitor was Lu Li's editor, they greeted him and then helped Gu Feng persuade Lu Li to revise "The Divine Eagle".

  But no matter how many people persuaded him, Lu Li still did not agree.

  "Hey, Ludi, this move of yours is quite impressive!" Just as the atmosphere was a bit tense, Bao Hongshu's voice came from outside the door, and then a man in his thirties walked in.

  Bao Hongshu saw Gu Feng was also here, sitting on a stool in anger. He felt both unexpected and expected at the same time, and greeted Gu Feng.

  Although Gu Feng was angry, he was still relatively polite to Bao Hong Shu and stood up to respond.

  "Ludi, I'm not saying you're like that, but the way you write really won't do. Seeing Ludi about to speak, Bao Hongshu waved his hand to interrupt and continued: 'Don't say anything for now, this is my experience from messing around in the online literature world for a few years, it's not that I want to show off my seniority, but rather I'm afraid you're young and impulsive, losing the good foundation you've accumulated.'"

  Gu Feng listened on one side and also strongly agreed. Bao Hongshu's words were very reasonable, and it was no wonder that he was a great god-level figure who had been active in the online literature world for several years.

  Just as Lu Li was about to speak, several people came again from outside the door. Lu Li had seen them all before - they were all local fans of Huajing who had attended the last autograph session.

  "Lu Li Da, the alliance leader said that they can't get in touch with you, asking you to quickly revise the chapters of 'The Return of the Condor Hero' and respond to book fans, otherwise Lu Meng has the risk of disbanding."

  The person in charge saw Lu Li and didn't care who else was in the house, saying hastily. It could be seen that this person was also very anxious for Lu Li.

  Lu Li could feel the concern of book fans for himself, whether it was scolding him or advising him in a good way, they all did so because they cared about him. But Lu Li couldn't compromise on this matter, he had his own difficulties, but he couldn't tell anyone about them. This feeling made Lu Li feel like the air around him was being sucked out, making him extremely uncomfortable.

  Lu Li took a deep breath, looked around at the people in the room, and said: "Big Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother, Gu Feng Editor, Bao Hongshu Big Brother, and the few book friends who have come here, Lu Li thanks you for your concern and advice. However, 'The Divine Eagle' really can't be changed. As for why, I won't say, but please don't pressure me anymore, okay?"

  Everyone looked at Lu Li's unpleasant face, and for a moment, they were stunned, not knowing what to say. They really didn't force Lu Li, but just asked him to modify one of the plots, was it that difficult? In their opinion, this was an extremely simple matter.

  Lü Lí naturally wouldn't mention the difficulties, looking at the bewildered crowd, he didn't say anything else, and quietly walked out of the dormitory, his back figure somewhat lonely.

  Three people in the bedroom looked at Lu Li's back, wanting to follow up but finally stopped, maybe it was good for him to think alone.

  Gu Feng and Bao Hong looked at each other, then sighed and left together.

  One of Huajing's book fans said to the leader: "Lu Li doesn't agree with modifying 'The Return of the Condor Hero', what should we do?"

  "I don't know, let's just tell the Alliance Master about this first and see how she handles it. Anyway, if Lu Li doesn't change this plot, I'll quit the Lu Alliance, no need to discuss." The person replied to the question and then walked out of the bedroom first.

  Other book friends also hurriedly followed up.
