"System is a prototype, so he is prone to bugs. I hope this won't affect your experience!"
"Sixth system bug discovered..."
"System is a prototype, so he is prone to bugs. I hope this won't affect your experience!"
"Seventh system bug discovered..."
"System is a prototype, so he is prone to bugs. I hope this won't affect your experience!"
"Eight system bug discovered..."
.....
All of these notifications kept ringing in Zhou Lei's mind. He was getting overwhelmed!
"Why... are all of these triggering just now?" Zhou Lei asked System.
However, he got a response he did not expect. The cute voice that usually just talked about how System was just a prototype was actually talking about something else!
"Sorry, I've been out for the past five hours, and as compensation, System will be leveled up!"
"Wh- what?!" Zhou Lei was utterly confused. What did the voice mean that it had been out for the past five hours? What?
Suddenly, he was kicked out of System's interface, making him open his eyes once more.
Zhou Zhenya was still there, seemingly not having noticed her brother that was standing right in front of her while she chiseled the now destroyed tiles...
Zhou Lei looked at her again, and realized that she was really working hard... He couldn't bring his conscience to get angry at her.
After all, everything had just been an accident.
It wasn't her fault for having such low luck... Wait!
Zhou Lei tried to access System again, only to find a wall of text constantly updating.
The only part that was unchanging was the upper part of the screen.
It said, "Please wait, System is updating." Below it was a bar with a percentage number on top that said, "11%..."
"So it's true..." Zhou Lei looked at the wall of rapidly scrolling text in disappointment at first, but also in glee.
Since System has already updated, does that mean I don't have to sleep with Teacher Wen anymore?
"Haah..." Zhou Lei could only sigh as he walked back to the computer with the shining keyboard.
"Hmm... what do I do in the meantime?" Zhou Lei was only waiting for his novel to get popular. By then, Webnovel would surely be begging for him to sign the contract, and he would get tons of money to pay off his debt to System.
However, Zhou Lei was getting impatient. It was completely normal for a novel that was just published to be unpopular for a week, not to mention mere minutes.
Zhou Lei was expecting some kind of abnormal reaction to his novel, since it was very good.
.....
On the internet.
Weibo was an extremely popular site where Zhou Lei lived. It was a multipurpose social networking site.
One forum was very active.
"Inkslab has a large amount of novels now." - Anonymous #2371
"Yeah, but no matter what, all of them are crap." - Fish Turning Into a Dragon
"Yes, I don't think they even know English..." - Lord of the Uncommon People
"Why do they bother posting on the site? For attention?" - Calm Snail
"But there are some gems though..." - Negative_Lullaby
"Oh, Negative isn't negative, what a rare situation!" - Anonymous #1092
"Yeah, tell us Negative what made you so optimistic!" - Lord of the Uncommon People
"Like this new one, Conqueror of the Realms." - Negative_Lullaby
"That sounds like a very cliche novel. Is it about reincarnation?" - Fish Turning Into a Dragon
"No, it really isn't. I can only tell you this... There's only one chapter, but it got me hooked instantly!" - Negative_Lullaby
"Only one chapter? That's harsh man." - Calm Snail
Despite the unenthusiasm, most of the users that read this thread went to the site and read the novel. After a while...
"Holy s**t! Why do I feel like crying right now?" - Calm Snail
"I know, right? It's too good!" - Fish Turning Into a Dragon
Most of the users were full of praises for "Conqueror of the Realms".
"Damn, now that all of you are praising it that much, you made me curious!" - Walking Along
"Yeah, let's go ahead and read it!" - Anonymous #1092
The view count for "Conqueror of the Realms" updated slowly. At first, there were only ten. After a minute, there was a thousand. After another, there was ten thousand!
The growth of the views was unprecedented! The angle was almost a 90° one if graphed...
.....
Oblivious to all of these, Zhou Lei was thinking of what to do next.
"Hmm... since I'm also skilled in drawing, should I make a comic adaptation of my own story?"
Needless to say, Zhou Lei did just that.
He opened his smartphone and downloaded a drawing app called Iris Painting.
Since the story was still fresh in his mind, not to mention that he knew all of the details of the story, he could flawlessly draw it down.
"Damn, this is so good!" Zhou Lei muttered to himself as he saw his unfinished drawing.
It was his first time drawing after obtaining the skill book, so he was rather expectant. However, the image in front of him exceeded his expectations!
It looked... divine, to say the least.
