Aside from those disreputable websites, Xia Ping also chose to post on Gu Zhiwei, Bao Pitang, and some other erotic web novel masters’ blogs as well.

  Both Gu Zhiwei and Bao Pitang were the leading authorities on erotic web novels and had written countless classics with many fans. Just their blogs alone had more than thirty million followers.

  It was almost certain for him to attract a lot of readers if he could make his posts popular on their blogs.

  Therefore, Xia Ping once again immediately registered several troll accounts. One of them created a post stating: [The Reason Why Nobody is Reading Master Gu Zhiwei’s Books Anymore.] The post seemed very fair and factual, but it would demean Master Gu Zhiwei’s works from time to time to the point where they seemed as if complete trash.

  another troll account commented, insulting Gu Zhiwei with all his might.

  a third troll account subtly advertised.

  Upon seeing this post, one fan immediately exploded from anger and quickly counterattacked,

  A group of Master Gu Zhiwei’s fans exploded. Not only did this poster maliciously slander Gu Zhiwei, the poster even said that after Gu Zhiwei saw a new person’s web novel, he cried over his inferiority!

  After they saw the poster’s words, all of the fans were furious and immediately posted their rebuttal to curse him. They wanted to curse him to the point where he couldn’t even lift up his head for the rest of his life! That he would be spat on by everybody when he went out!

  In the end? After just half an hour, the amount of clicks that the post got exceeded one million while the amount of replies reached fifty eight thousand, directly bringing the post up to the number one spot on the blog.

  Of course, most of the replies consisted of cursing the poster. At this point, they had already cursed all eighteen generations of the poster’s family.

  Xia Ping’s troll account continued on to make a new post at this point.

  This post gave everything it got at praising Teacher Bai Rong while subtly blackening Gu Zhiwei’s works. As if they weren’t worth anything and was complete garbage.

  All of the fans were infuriated, their replies filled with smoke and flames!

  Seeing these replies, Xia Ping disapproved on the outside, but inside he was extremely smug. This type of publicizing technique was really popular back on his life on Earth. It even had a professional name, and that was “fame scam”!

  In simple terms, it was basically those not-widely known yet popular web celebrities deliberately say stuff that negatively affected those famous celebrities. In that fashion, they used that famous celebrity’s popularity to attract a lot of attention and increase their own fan count.

  If that famous celebrity responded, they would increase the degree of exposure. At that, the more it was discussed the better it was. As for not responding? That also didn’t matter. In any case those fans of theirs wouldn’t be able to take it and start cursing. That way also increased the amount of activity and exposure.

  In general, towards those small celebrities or people who didn’t have any fame at all, the fame scam was completely beneficial to them. At the very least, they can take advantage of that opportunity to make themselves known to the public and not just be ignored.

  Although this was extremely shameless, but from a publicizing perspective, there was no doubt that it was the best and most efficient way of advertisement.

  And so, Xia Ping kept on going at it. He visited the blog of every erotic web novel author with even a little bit of fame and wrote some sort of provocative post on it, riling up those fans. Just like that and his web novel

  would gain a lot of attention.

  Such crazy publicizing also had extremely obvious results.

  The originally empty reviews section of his web novel was instantly filled. A whole group of newly registered accounts gave it their all as one in blasting Xia Ping, so unified that they were almost like an army. Basically a sea of curses.

  In just an hour, his web novel’s review section had more than fifty thousand reviews. The result of this was that his web novel got more than three million clicks and had more than thirty thousand people who added his web novel to their libraries.

  “Success!”


  Xia Ping clenched his fists. He knew that even if there were a lot of people who cursed him, there would also definitely be a portion who were just curious and chose to read his web novel instead.

  Although the ratio of such people might not be high, but it was still a spark nonetheless. And this spark had the potential to turn into a blazing wildfire. He was confident that his web novel would quickly become popular with these seeds.
