Chapter 612: Web Comic Volume (12): Trending Search

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Magic Lamp really shined in the beginning, but unfortunately, he didn’t keep up with the times. When web novels were on the rise, he disappeared and only one published work, so he was destined to be eliminated by the market.” Mu Zining’s editor said on the whole sarcastically. “I don’t even know why this peasant thinks he can compete with you. I will arrange the rest.”

It was the age of the media. Yiyi Zining’s popularity was high, and her writing wasn’t bad. It wouldn’t be surprising if she crushed Magic Lamp.

Especially since Magic Lamp had been absent for several years, and many people had a bad impression of him.

If it were the past, Mu Zining’s editor would persuade Mu Zining to change her mind as the top certification was fixed by the company. But this time...

Mu Zining silently hung up her phone.

She didn’t care about Magic Lamp.

Right now, her focus was placed on the Mo and Mu families.

...

On the other hand, Qin Ran and Cheng Juan had already moved their things out of the hotel.

Cheng Juan had some business in Shanghai.

After he arrived in Shanghai, he arranged for someone to prepare a property near the downtown area as Gu Xichi was based in Shanghai. Qin Ran might stay in Shanghai to watch Yang Fei’s game and deal with the situation involving Mu Nan.

Already several properties were under his name, so he bought a house under Qin Ran’s name.

Although it was in the city area, there was a lot of greenery and the house was soundproofed.

When Qin Ran came back, she printed out the contract that Editor Shen sent to her. It wasn’t very long, and she was lazy to read it, so she just signed her name and let Cheng Mu send it back.

Pinnacle Studios’s HQ wasn’t far from here. It was less than an hour’s drive.

Cheng Mu took the contract and was about to drive there.

Liu Jue, who wasn’t busy, knew that this was an important guest. When he saw Cheng Mu delivering the contract, he was familiar with Shanghai and took the initiative to drive him there.

Pinnacle Studios.

The front desk received the document and looked at Liu Jue and Cheng Mu strangely.

These two people didn’t seem ordinary. Cheng Mu looked very cold and different. Liu Jue was the confidant of the head of the Liu family and naturally didn’t have a weak aura.

They didn’t seem like couriers at all.

The front desk forwarded the documents to the legal department and looked at the door suspiciously.

Ding—

The elevator stopped on the first floor and Mo Zhihuai got off. He looked at the two figures in the revolving door and was slightly surprised. “What are these two people here for?”

His gaze was fixed on Liu Jue’s back, which seemed familiar.

“Young Master Mo, they are here to deliver a signed contract,” the front desk said respectfully.

Mo Zhihuai nodded slightly and went out without saying anything.

When Cheng Mu and Liu Jue went out, he told Liu Jue that Miss Qin wasn’t busy recently, so he could return to the Liu family.

Since Cheng Mu said that, Liu Jue didn’t return with him and drove back to his base camp to report today’s affairs to Master Liu.

“How is it?” In the hall, Master Liu waved his hand to dismiss the men and looked at him.

Liu Jue thought about it and hesitated for a moment. “Young Master Cheng and Miss Qin don’t seem unusual. They don’t seem like the heads of the physics Research Institute. Could it be that... he’s a puppet placed in the Research Institute by the Cheng family?”

He looked extremely lazy, and she seemed to like drawing on a piece of paper.

“Really?” Master Liu put down his pen and said sternly. He trusted his confidant very much. “Continue tomorrow.”

Liu Jue nodded.

...

On Cheng Juan’s side.

After Qin Ran moved into the new house, she was glued to the computer.

Once she decided to finish the second part of Celestial Wolf, she was constantly thinking about the art style and plot no matter where she was.

Cheng Juan usually left her alone, but since now she was in a special period, he remembered how she worked on her experiments all day and night. He especially brought her along to the Liu family when he went for a business discussion.

When they came back, she continued working.

At this time, Qin Ran was sitting in front of the computer and looking at her drawing software thoughtfully.

Qin Hanqiu knew that Cheng Juan was in Shanghai and gave him a video call.

Cheng Juan was currently cutting an apple in the kitchen downstairs. He answered the call, put his phone aside, and took a piece of paper to wipe the knife gently.

“Xiao Cheng.” In the video call, Qin Hanqiu also looked busy. Seeing that the call was answered, he put away what he was working on and looked at the camera.

Cheng Juan put the fruit knife aside before holding his phone in one hand and a plate of fruit in the other. He said respectfully, “Dad.”

As Qin Ran rarely addressed him, Qin Hanqiu was particularly happy when Cheng Juan called him that. “How is Ran Ran doing recently? Is her appetite ok? Is she adapting to Shanghai?”

After Qin Ran became pregnant, her appetite worsened. She even didn’t eat much of Qin Hanqiu’s boiled pork meat when she went to the Qin family’s house.

It was clear that she was undernourished.

“It’s better than before.” Cheng Juan walked into the kitchen and changed the lens to face Qin Ran.

“That’s good.” Qin Ran was drawing in front of the computer. Qin Hanqiu paused and said with concern, “Xiao Cheng, don’t let her face the computer every day.”

“I didn’t.” Cheng Juan kept a straight face as he handed Qin Ran an apple slice using a toothpick. “She rarely plays.”

Only then did Qin Hanqiu nod. “Take care of her and don’t let her be too stubborn. Too much radiation isn’t good.”

The Qin family knew that Qin Ran would only listen to Cheng Juan’s words.

After the two talked about daily affairs, Qin Hanqiu gave him some more instructions before ending the call.

After hanging up, Cheng Juan finally put down his phone and fed Qin Ran another apple slice. He leaned on the side of the table and called Cheng Jin.

“Are the clothes ready?” Cheng Juan asked slowly.

Everyone knew that the white coats Master Cheng used in the laboratory were made of special materials.

It seemed that Master Cheng spent a lot of money creating daily clothes for Qin Ran.

...

Time flew by quickly.

Pinnacle Studios also started to prepare Magic Lamp’s second release and increased his popularity.

However, the traffic of Pinnacle Studio’s official account wasn’t very impressive. Although the announcement of the second part of Celestial Wolf caused some waves, it wasn’t worth mentioning compared to Don’t Ask The Heavens, Film Emperor Qin, and Yiyi Zining.

On the night of June 23rd.

It was only one day before the second part of Celestial Wolf’s release.

Editor Shen’s office.

Assistant Cao knocked on the door and came in with a serious expression.

Editor Shen gained some recognition in the company because he managed to get Magic Lamp back, and he was in a good mood.

“Editor Shen.” Assistant Cao asked him, “Have you looked at Weibo?”

“What?” Editor Shen was working overtime today to help Qin Ran.

Assistant Cao took out his phone and showed it to him.

Yiyi Zining’s Weibo received more than 10,000 comments in just 5 minutes.

This response was the same as that of popular celebrities.

Yiyi Zining: A new comic will be available online tomorrow at 9 am.

It was also on the trending search topics.

Film Emperor Qin liked her post.

“Wasn’t she supposed to release a new comic on the 26th? When was it changed to tomorrow?” Editor Shen turned pale when he saw it.

“She’s a Great Master, so she can change it as she pleases. Even Film Emperor Qin liked her post, so it blew up. I’ve told you that you shouldn’t have competed with Yiyi Zining for the top certification.” Assistant Cao shook his head slightly. “She’s obviously trying to compete with Magic Lamp. With her popularity and her connections in Shanghai, Magic Lamp won’t be able to win. You have to be prepared.

“I think it’s obvious whether the readers will choose her or Magic Lamp.”

Editor Shen didn’t think about that before. In his eyes, Yiyi Zining was a Great Master. Even though Magic Lamp was popular before, he couldn’t care about Yiyi Zining.

The top certification was also won by Editor Shen and Mo Zhihuai. It wasn’t exclusively made for Yiyi Zining.

Editor Shen thought that Yiyi Zining wouldn’t be so narrow-minded.

Who would have thought that things were beyond his expectations?

Editor Shen’s heart sank. “It’s just a recommendation. Magic Lamp isn’t blocking her path.”

“But in her eyes, you just robbed her resources.” Assistant Cao pointed out and glanced at him. “Not to mention Mu Zining’s editor has a grudge against you.”

Editor Shen sat down on his seat, opened WeChat, pressed on Magic Lamp’s name, and called her.

The phone was quickly answered.

“Hello.” A low man’s voice was heard.

Editor Shen was taken aback. He had seen the contract information sent back by Magic Lamp a few days ago and learned that Magic Lamp was a woman. He and Assistant Cao were shocked. “Magic Lamp?”

“Wait a minute. She’s taking a shower.” Cheng Juan was the one who answered the call. “Call again in ten minutes.”

“Oh...” Editor Shen hung up.

10 minutes later.

Qin Ran came out of the shower, and Cheng Juan gave her the phone. “Your editor.”

Qin Ran put on her headphones and dialed Editor Shen’s number. Cheng Juan brought over a hairdryer to help blow dry her hair.

“Editor Shen,” Qin Ran said while putting on her headphones.

Her voice was soft and light.

This was the first time Editor Shen made a voice call to Magic Lamp. In the past, he would definitely fawn over her voice, but now he was a little restless and guilty. Magic Lamp’s return gave him too much excitement and overwhelmed him.

“Magic Lamp, I have let you down. If it weren’t for my grudge with Yiyi Zining’s editor, they wouldn’t release a comic on the same day as yours. I will help you postpone your release date by two days,” Editor Shen said in a low voice.

“Two days?” Qin Ran raised her eyebrow.

It wasn’t the first time Qin Ran heard of Yiyi Zining’s name in Shanghai. How was this related to her now?

“Yiyi Zining is going to release her new comic two days in advance and will start promoting it on the Pinnacle Studios app tomorrow. Even Film Emperor Qin liked her post, and it’s one of the top three trending searches. The Realm of Gods fans are also very excited about it.” Editor Shen smiled bitterly. “If you clash with her, you will be suppressed very badly tomorrow.”

Besides celebrities, the only web novel author that could become one of the top three trending searches without help was Don’t Ask The Heavens.
