After Being Bent by Reader [Jenlisa]

Chapter 5

Lisa opened her browser while chatting with Rosé. She wanted to use this free time to reply to some reader comments. However, when she logged into her author's account, she found that she had received a Deep Water Torpedo.

The "Overlord Ticket" was a kind of contribution system used by jjwxc. The smallest denominator was a one yuan Landmine, while the largest was a 100 yuan Deep-water Torpedo.

Squinting her eyes, Lisa was stunned when she saw the ID of the contributor.

Passerby?

"Passerby" was an automatic ID generated for all new users of jjwxc's platform, so Lisa wasn't too surprised to see someone with this ID. However, as a Passerby had come up with her conversation with Rosé just a few seconds ago, she couldn't help but wonder to herself, Don't tell me they're the same person?

Visiting this Passerby's profile, Lisa discovered that this person had never purchased any of her works. The person's reading record showed that they had only ever read a 600,000-word novel written by Rosé. Scrolling down further, Lisa inspected the person's comment history, and her eyes widened immediately.

This Passerby was the same Passerby who had given Fragrant Citrus a point reduction...

Why would this person give me a Deep-water?

Confused, Lisa took a screenshot, sent it to Rosé, and explained her discovery.

Rosé: "Why would this person read my novel, give a point reduction to Citrus, and send a Deep-water to you? Is she one of Citrus's anti-fans?"

Lisa: "How would I know?"

Rosé: "What a willful reader."

After wracking her mind and failing to see through this unknown reader's thoughts, Lisa decided to give up altogether.

At 9 PM sharp, the platform published the last two chapters of her novel as scheduled. Shortly afterward, her readers bombarded her with a bunch of explosives. Looking through the list of contributions she received, she found five Deep-water Torpedoes mixed among them, giving her a pleasant surprise.

In response to the wonderful reception, Lisa sent many red packets[1] and replied to messages in her reader group.

Now that I've concluded this book, what should I write for the next one?

Lisa felt a headache momentarily. However, when she thought about how she could finally stop torturing herself to write drafts every night, she couldn't help but feel happy again.

Lisa hummed a tune with her tone-deaf voice, tormenting the mosquitoes that the mosquito-repellent incense had poisoned while she grabbed herself a change of clothes and headed to the bath.

Twenty minutes later, Lisa got out of the bath and immediately heard her phone ringing. Walking over to take a look, she found that Yuna was sending her a video call invite.

"Sis-" Yuna's weak voice came through the phone.

Looking at Yuna's flushed face and foggy eyes, it appeared that she had just cried. Startled by this, Lisa asked, "What's the matter?"

Sniffling, Yuna whimpered, "I have a fever. It feels so uncomfortable."

Surprised once again, Lisa asked, "How is your temperature? Have you taken medicine?"

Yuna answered, "It's 38.5 degrees. I've visited the school doctor and just took my medicine."

Her tone softening, Lisa said, "Go to bed earlier if you're sick. I'll visit you tomorrow."
