Chapter 264: Chapter 264

[Would anyone notice this change?]

This question is great, very incisive, and spot on.

But isn’t it a bit late to be worried, considering it’s been a month since the last body adjustment?

Chu River looked at the messages fed back from the backend program and couldn’t help but laugh out loud—

Why are there such foolish people in the world who are so full of confidence, thinking they are the destined protagonist?

If he had just read a few more online novels, he’d know that even a destined protagonist needs talent and effort.

What does he, Su Tiankuo, have? Talent? Or effort?

Every day staring at a document, speed-reading a text vocally for one or two hours, writing fifty thousand words full of typos and chaotic punctuation, is this called effort?

Don’t be ridiculous—clearly, this is someone who can’t even eat properly when fed.

If you don’t have effort or talent, then at least you should have diligence and self-awareness to want success.

Stepping back a long way, for a fated protagonist with nothing else, shouldn’t their worldview and sense of morality be normal?

Does Su Tiankuo have no self-awareness?

Does he never think what kind of loser he is?

The heavens shatter half a million downwards, yet not a penny would fall on him!

But after the laughter, the question still needs to be answered—

Su Tiankuo looked back and forth at his appearance in the mirror and finally got the answer he wanted to hear—

[Host, rest assured, the technology far ahead of its time allows not only physical adjustments but also ensures that those around you won’t notice your anomalies.]

[In their eyes, you’ve always looked this way.]

—Indeed, the holographic mimicry is only open to you; everything you see in the mirror and feel in life is an illusion.

Only the you in other people’s eyes remains exactly the same as the original you, or even more bloated and scruffy.

—That is the reality.

Speaking of it, not going out for a month, living off junk food and takeout meals, and now with physical adjustments even canceling the occasional walks...

Of course, the figure would look worse, and the complexion would inevitably dull...

Luxury cars, beauties like clouds, mansions beneath the feet, and the flattery from those around felt like being in the clouds... The rıghtful source is novel⁂fire.net

Su Tiankuo woke from a long dream to find only scattered cigarette butts and a messy pile of drink bottle wrappers beside him.

The stains on the wall were so obvious, food crumbs and thick dust littered the floor, the curtains skewed, even less tidy than the cobwebs in the corner.

The fan futilely blew the stifling air, various smells blended, ultimately dominated by the leftover rot of a takeout meal in the corner.

Yet, living there for so long, Su Tiankuo was no longer sensitive to the smell.

He only saw the success that was about to be his.

Anyway, this is all temporary.

Another repayment reminder came through on his phone from a lending platform, tomorrow, tomorrow is the last repayment day, this time the repayment is 5750 yuan.

But now, Su Tiankuo only had 181 yuan left on him.

Why does this crappy website pay wages in the middle of the month—although he didn’t earn any subscription revenue last month, he did get three to four thousand in rewards!

Money issues are always unavoidable, but Su Tiankuo was already mentally prepared; he unhesitatingly took a screenshot of the backend and sent it to his good buddy Zhu Yuwen.

Zhu Yuwen, fearing Su Tiankuo would borrow money, hadn’t proactively contacted him for a month. Even when he landed a job and wanted to celebrate on his feed, he had to block him...

Now suddenly receiving messages from him, and they were strangely meaningless screenshots, he was puzzled but also relieved—

It’s not about borrowing money, so we can chat.

But as he opened the screenshots to scrutinize them, he was surprised—

This gossip is so widespread now, people were even discussing at work today about wanting to watch the livestream writing session!

Never expected the plagiarizer was actually his buddy Su Tiankuo!!!

Damn, you really have to see people differently after not meeting for three days!

Su Tiankuo, that cowardly guy, who would have thought he’d have such guts!

Zhu Yuwen’s mood for gossip surged, and then looking again at the revenue records displayed in the backend—nearly over three hundred thousand!

He was startled, couldn’t help feeling sour but also a bit gleeful at his misfortune.

[No wonder so many people take the risk of plagiarism knowing they might have to pay up, this shit is way too profitable!]

[However, playing such a big game at once and daring to plagiarize a platinum author’s serial work, this time it’s definitely a solid case... How much will he have to pay back considering the revenue he made?]
