In just a few hours’ time, the keywords, “Young Lord,””Trial of the Century” and “Zhong Dian website,” had completely dominated all the topics in the entire internet. Countless people were discussing this transnational trial. It could be said that this was not only a victory of the court case between the two companies, but it was also a victory regarding the pride between the two nations, Heavenly State and Jaban State!
In this trial of the century, there was concrete evidence, it was tumultuous, and the judge speedily pounded his gavel and announced the result of the trial. The flying device that was amazing to the max could shock the technology of the entire world, and every single thing within was telling the people the amount of pleasant surprise that this battle of the century had brought to everyone in Heavenly State.
Heavenly State Central TV Station, the news broadcast—
“Today is August 5, 2014, Sunday. We will be introducing the main contents of today’s program. The main content of this program are, first, the trial results of the biggest copyright infringement case in the decade. Second, regarding the latest progress to manage the haze. Third...”

In the court, there was concrete evidence, and the final trial result was that Feng Yun website has to compensate a total of 105.6 million yuan to Zhong Dian website. Please watch the introductory video...”
After hearing the presenter on the television screen introducing about this matter in detail, the entire Heavenly State erupted!
“Oh god, I’m not dreaming, am I?! We’ve won in the court case against the Jabanese?!”
“Quickly look, quickly look, it’s a Jabanese who is backing Feng Yun website up. Haha, nice, we’ve actually won!”
“What the heck, there haven’t been news about winning against foreigners so clearly in quite a number of years, right? Nice, really nice!”
“Zhong Dian website’s smartphone reading app? We have to take a look at it no matter what! Support our local products without a doubt, get rid of the little devils!”
Everyone was astonished, and then it was pleasant surprise!
Our Heavenly State won!
The topic regarding this battle of the century on the internet had once again reached a new peak!
The next day, on Xinhai Weibo, there was an overwhelming amount of topics discussing this battle of the century. The increase in the number of views was record-breaking, and the public opinions were literally leaning towards one single side. Everyone went all around to spread about and celebrate this huge victory!
...
On the online novel forum, many voices applauded Zhong Dian website all around, and they were all applauding Hong Dali!
The root cause of this incident was because, after the Supreme God of Zhong Dian website, Treasure Slayer, had observed the entire battle of the century, he couldn’t sit still any longer. He had things to say, he had many things to say!
After gathering his thoughts and emotions, Treasure Slayer posted on Heavenly State’s largest online novel forum—
Title: “Initially, Young Master said not to create hype, but since it’s a Jabanese who is backing Feng Yun website, then there’s no need to conceal it.”
Main content: “Luo Xue’s incident has been settled. Initially, Young Master said that he didn’t want to create hype about this, hoping that Luo Xue could rest in peace. But if I don’t speak about this matter, I’ll feel very uncomfortable and won’t be able to sleep soundly at night.
“If it was according to my original plan, since Young Master didn’t want to spread it, then I’d just let it be completely concealed. Anyway, since Young Master has already done it, it completely doesn’t matter whether others know or not about the specific happenings of this matter. And Young Master is unconcerned about this as well.
“But now, since a Jabanese is backing Feng Yun website, then there’s no need for me to hide it any longer.
“The reason why the copyright of ‘Martial Spirit’ was sold for that one million was only that Young Master wanted to help Luo Xue and his family, but yet Young Master didn’t have his contact details.
“Thus, Young Master contacted Ko Gohon, which is the one behind Feng Yun website. Initially, it wasn’t a big deal to ask for contact details. But after all, Young Master is Young Master, and he wasn’t willing to owe Ko Gohon a favor. Thus, he bought the copyright along as well.
“If things had unfolded according to the normal procedures, Ko Gohon should have directly told Young Master how to contact Luo Xue, and he’d also definitely not state such a high price for the sale of the copyright. Alas, Ko Gohon asked for... one million!
“Yes, you did not see wrong. Young Master spent one million for Luo Xue’s contact detail!
“This isn’t a small figure to anyone.
“Yet Young Master wasn’t concerned. After purchasing Luo Xue’s contact number, Young Master spent another two million to comfort Luo Xue’s family and arranged for an apartment for Luo Xue’s family members at the newest built iPartment building. Then, he also arranged for Luo Xue’s younger sister to go to the New Lanxiang campus city to study. Also, Young Master said that after the research and development of the endoskeleton armor is complete, he’d help Luo Xue’s father to be able to walk again.
“Brothers, there’s no problem with earning money, everyone has to make a living. But, we must have a conscience!
“It’s my greatest blessing to be able to encounter Young Master in this lifetime.”
—Treasure Slayer.
Once Treasure Slayer’s post had been published, the entire online novel forum brewed with excitement!
Countless people Liked the post and were discussing it, and of course, countless people were even planning to write new books at Zhong Dian website!
And therefore, of course, nobody would forget the Great God, Tian Yuanlong from Feng Yun website who had maliciously accused the other party at the very start!
It had to be said that there were indeed many capable people on the internet. Very soon, someone had dug out evidence of Tian Yuanlong’s act of plagiarism! Once the evidence had been published, Tian Yuanlong’s reputation instantly became notorious!
...
“It’s over... It’s all over...” In a cramped and small house, the Great God level author from Feng Yun website, Tian Yuanlong, stared dumbfounded at the news, looking at the news on the internet, looking at Feng Yun website’s webpage, and lastly, he saw the evidence that reported him of committing plagiarism, making him speechless.
From now on, it would be impossible for him to be able to survive in the online literature industry.
Perhaps, he would very likely be reported as well, then he’d have to pay compensations, and not a single cent would be left from the money he had earned over the years...
...
Chenhui Building, eighth floor, Zhong Dian website headquarters.
The secretary frantically rushed into Zhang Wenyang’s office and exclaimed, “Manager Zhang, good news, good news! Big good news!”
“What kind of good news made you so agitated...” After the battle of the century had ended, Zhang Wenyang could finally relax. Now, he was currently eating instant noodles as he sat at his office desk. “Don’t you see that I’m eating? Slower, slower!”
Probably only this Manager Zhang, Zhang Wenyang who was sloppy to the max would eat instant noodles every day despite earning 100,000 per month...
“It’s... It’s like that...” The secretary waited for Zhang Wenyang to finish eating his instant noodles before he cautiously reported, “According to the results calculated from the technical department, currently, our website, the daily updated works at our website has exceeded 10,000, and the IP site traffic has already reached...”
“Reached how much?” Zhang Wenyang wiped his mouth in satisfaction. “Has it reached 4 million?”
“Higher. It’s... it’s 5.3 million...” The secretary’s forehead brimmed with sweat. Of course, that wasn’t because he was anxious, it was because he was too excited!
“What the heck!” Zhang Wenyang instantly swore. “So high?!”
“Y... Yes...” The secretary wiped his forehead. “The main reason is that the incident of Young Master previously comforting Luo Xue’s family has been spread on the internet, thus many authors have come to our website. Moreover, there are still many other benefits...”
“Alright.” Zhang Wenyang shrugged and grinned. “Don’t report to me. Report this to CEO Hong’s side. I’m only responsible for spending money, I don’t care about other things.”
“Alright!”
...
Tianjing City, Sangle Building.
“CEO Hong, CEO Mu, CEO Liu, the results from Zhong Dian website have been calculated! Big gain! Big gain!” Secretary Xiao Liu swiftly rushed inside. Once he entered the room, he loudly shouted, “This time, we’ve earned it big!”
“Don’t be anxious, what exactly is the matter? What is it that we’ve earned it big? Speak slowly!” Hong Weiguo grinned and said, “This little rascal is still so easily agitated after following by my side for so long. He’s made a joke out of himself in front of you.”
“Haha, it’s very normal to be surprised over good news.” Mu Tie totally didn’t mind. “Seeing that even Xiao Liu is so agitated, the gain this time is definitely not small. Don’t fret, speak slowly, say it one by one.”
“Yes.” Liu Yihui smiled and said, “The victory from this battle of the century was not easy. I believe that there would definitely be a big gain.”
“Then what gains are there, Xiao Liu. Say them out slowly one by one, so that it can also make us few old fellows happy.” Hong Weiguo instructed.
Xiao Liu violently swallowed his saliva and started reporting, “Currently, there has been a large group of authors entering Zhong Dian website. The number of books updated within three days has already reached 10,000. The number of daily IP visits has already broken past the 5 million mark! The news report this time has resulted in many new IP addresses, and most likely, a very big portion of this batch of IP addresses would be converted into paying users; there are already signs of it now. According to the feedback from a number of authors, the current subscriptions are rising at a rapid speed!”
“More than 5 million!” Hong Weiguo and the other two glanced at each other, then they roared with laughter in unison. “This is really not bad! I never expected that it would be so high!”
“It’s a blessing in disguise.” Mu Tie sighed and said, “This time, the television stations have placed emphasis on reporting about this news. This big group of new IP addresses is most likely those who have gotten curious after watching the news and wanted to come and take a look. Even if they can’t all be kept, if only half of them remain, it’s quite good already.”
“Mm... Currently, it’s already starting to snowball.” Liu Yihui nodded. “With the authors’ high earnings, it’ll definitely attract more authors to join. With more books, there will definitely be some that will suit the taste of the readers, and then there will be more and more readers. Good!”
“What more?” Hong Weiguo asked. “What about the app?”
“The number of installations and downloads of the app have been rapidly increasing these two days, and currently, it has already exceeded 60 million! The sales side has already reached...” The secretary Xiao Liu looked at the report. “It has already broken past the 12 million mark for the daily sales, and it’s still increasing!”
Daily sale of 12 million! In this case, in one month, it would be 360 million! In one year, it would be close to 4 billion!
“It’s far exceeded the predictions, far exceeded the predictions!” Mu Tie took in a deep breath. “This is like a hen that lays golden eggs!”
But very evidently, there was still more to come. Xiao Liu violently swallowed his saliva and said, “CEO Hong, CEO Mu, CEO Liu, these are actually nothing. The truly impressive ones are the ones up next...”
Liu Yihui was stunned. “There’s still more?!”
These are nothing? There are more impressive ones coming up next?!
