All-rounder Artist-Chapter 719 - 685: The Cunning and Deceitfulness of the Old Rascal_1

The protest in Qin Continent disbanded...

The protest in Qi Continent disbanded...

The protest in Chu Continent disbanded...

All the protest marches in the various continents called it quits after Chu Kuang made his declaration.

But the impact of this event didn’t simply end there; it continued in another form.

Yes.

Chu Kuang, who stood firm under the pressure of protests from readers of five continents, changed his stance abruptly due to Xian Yu. This had a huge impact on the netizens!

"Is this what they call a bromance?"

"The anger of millions of readers is not as powerful as one word, or even one letter from Xian Yu?"

"Even the most ruthless man has his soft side (the intestines are warm too)."

"Chu Kuang: For Fish, I’m willing to reconcile with the world!"

"I’m flabbergasted. Holmes’ fans are countless, but the man who couldn’t be persuaded by readers all over the world, was persuaded by Xian Yu?"

"Fellow upstairs, seems like ’to say’ is multifaceted (dog-headed)."

"I used to not believe when people said Xian Yu and Chu Kuang were so close they could share the same pair of pants. I thought everyone was kidding, but reality slapped me hard!"

"Shadow is indeed a god of war in the garage!"

"Stop being upset, why can’t Shadow stand up? Today’s incidents explain everything."

"What a divine friendship this is!"

"Who would have expected that Chu Kuang agreed to change the plot, just because his best bro wasn’t happy?"

The web was boiling!

...

Moments later at a restaurant close to Starlight Entertainment...

Ol’ Zhou, scanning the news online, his faces filled with astonishment, "That was resolved pretty easily?"

Zheng Jing, her face smug, "Isn’t this indirectly facilitated by us?"

"Probably was because he couldn’t refuse."

Yang Zhongming commented, even though Xian Yu rarely asked anyone for favors. But if Xian Yu did ask, it seemed nobody could refuse this kid.

"Well, from now on, readers shouldn’t bother protesting. If you’re upset with Chu Kuang, go to Little Fish and complain."

Sheng Jing burst into laughter, clearly entertained.

Is this a bromance?

No.

This is the power of a beloved figure in a group.

People say Xian Yu in the South, Chu Kuang in the North.

Now it seems that the one in the South carries more heft when he speaks.

...

Inside the industry...

Nobody expected the passionate readers’ protest would end in such a laughably anticlimactic way!

What the hell is happening?

Are you saying Chu Kuang is easily swayed?

The readers protested across five continents, rocked half of Blue Star, and even the Literature and Art Association got involved, but still couldn’t persuade him!

Are you saying Chu Kuang is stubborn and can’t be influenced?

Then why did he promise to change the plot due to Xian Yu’s one sentence? The speed of this sudden face change can be described by two words:

Efficient!

This is a book you’re writing!

Can you take it seriously?

Doesn’t the author have any integrity?

When Biyao died, did the readers’ protest not use the right methods?

When Poirot died, would things have changed if Xian Yu had spoken?

Nobody knows.

...

The Tribe website...

The followers of Xian Yu skyrocketed!

Most of the new followers turned out to be Holmes fans!

His comment section was incredibly lively:

"Thank you Fish Papa!"

"Sending a banner to Fish Papa!"

"Fish Papa is the benefactor of us all, the Holmes fans!"

"It was Xian Yu who saved Holmes’ life!"

"Fish Papa is a good person!"

"The old rascal is truly fortunate to have a good friend like Xian Yu!"

"Next time Chu Kuang stirs things up, please, Fish Papa, lend us a hand!"

"Don’t worry, Fish Papa, I’ll definitely support your new song next month!"

"Agreed!"

"To repay Fish Papa’s life-saving debt to Sherlock Holmes, unconditional support for Fish Papa’s new song!"

"..."

Just look at these comments.

Those who are unaware might think that Xian Yu has recently been performing acts of bravery.

...

Amid the various reactions,

many netizens are discussing how Sherlock Holmes’s ending would be altered.

Would forcibly changing the plot be too jarring?

The chapter on Sherlock Holmes’s death has already been published!

With so many sold, surely they can’t ask all bookstores to take them back, right?

This isn’t an online serialization that the author can change at will.

At this moment,

one netizen suddenly cursed: "Damn, we fell for it! That old rascal Chu Kuang is truly deceitful!"

"Fell for what?"

Other netizens were stunned.

This netizen was filled with rage: "That old rascal Chu Kuang is too cunning. He had a backup plan from the start. You guys remember when Poirot died and his dead body was found, right?"

The netizens’ gazes changed!

Many people have read and reread "The Final Case"!

Now, upon being reminded, many people discovered a huge oversights:

Sherlock Holmes and Moriarty fell over a cliff together, but the search team only found Moriarty’s corpse...

But what about Sherlock Holmes?

His body was never found at all!

"No way!"

"Can you even play it like that?"

"If the body was not found, that old rascal could find any excuse to bring Sherlock Holmes back to life!"

"The old rascal had set up the foreshadowing long ago!"

"At first, I thought it was strange. He agreed to it so quickly. Sure, Xian Yu was a factor, but the most important thing is that the old rascal left himself an escape route!"

"Is this a test from the old rascal?"

"If we accept Sherlock Holmes’s death, he could set this plot in stone. But if we don’t, he could find a reasonable excuse to bring Sherlock Holmes back to life!"

"Advance and retreat at will!"

"Why is the old rascal so crafty!"

"What a sly old fox!"

"..."

Netizens were totally speechless!

Chu Kuang could have written that they found Sherlock Holmes’s body, just like how Poirot’s death was arranged.

Not writing that the body was found, isn’t this another plan?

Otherwise, this setting that the body couldn’t be found is completely unnecessary. The arrangement of Poirot’s death stands as glaring evidence!

This old rascal isn’t a great person.

But damn, he sure has a way with writing!

If not for this, readers from the five continents wouldn’t have such love-hate feelings towards him!

...

Studio.

Jin Mu also looked helplessly at Lin Yuan: "Boss, did you plan this a long time ago?"

Lin Yuan’s face remained unchanged: "Better to be safe."

Conan Doyle was also testing the readers’ reaction when he killed off Sherlock Holmes. But when the readers rejected it, he naturally brought Sherlock Holmes back to life.

This move indeed was crafty.

Unlike the lady next door, who declared Poirot’s death without leaving any room for maneuver, you can’t have Poirot pretend to be a zombie, right?

Jin Mu: "..."

He had always thought Lin Yuan was so innocent that it bordered on naivety.

Now thinking about it, how could the boss, who wrote so many beloved characters under the name of Chu Kuang, be such a simple person?

It’s frightening when you think about it!

Looking at Lin Yuan, who seemed lost in thought, Jin Mu suddenly felt that his boss was unfathomable.

Jin Mu doesn’t know.

At this moment, what Lin Yuan was contemplating...

Should Xian Yu write a song related to Sherlock Holmes and participate in next month’s chart competition?

He has been pondering on what song to use for next month, but now all the Sherlock Holmes fans have claimed that they will support him in next month’s charts, so should he take advantage of this rare opportunity?

Xian Yu truly hit the jackpot with this move!
