Chapter 274: Chapter 274

Illegal lending platforms are certainly different from conscientious sites like Dream Weaving Literature Network that even advance compensation.

When the first repayment cycle arrived and Su Tiankuo barely patched up the gap with the money he hadn’t spent, he couldn’t resist searching online to see how these platforms collect debts.

However, beyond his expectations, the debt collection from such illegal platforms isn’t limited to calls and messages. Since they read his basic information at the time of signing, the other party would call everyone in his contact list to inform them of his situation, and in severe cases, they might even show up at his door...

This is what Su Tiankuo feared the most.

His dignity must never be trampled by such debt collection methods!

Yet, looking at his golden finger, apart from the reflection of his still handsome self, this golden finger has brought him nothing but a mess.

This stirred a huge doubt in his mind—was it his fault, or was this golden finger flawed by nature?

Su Tiankuo didn’t want to admit his incompetence; he held onto grievances—if it could clearly list the copyright fees, if it could present future stories now, why not indicate when the work would be adapted and when it had been written?

Now, everyone seems to be making money except him, who has nothing and is heavily in debt.

If it had been noted earlier, he definitely wouldn’t have picked these two works!

The former made him pay compensation, leaving him in debt until today.

The latter turned his daily hard work into wasted efforts, with over a hundred thousand words in the draft box now unusable.

And this time, he didn’t even have the courage to defend himself.

Su Tiankuo ultimately had to delete his pseudonym.

Fortunately, this online shopping identity information hasn’t faced ridicule across the internet, much less been blacklisted. Although "Mountain and Sea Star Infrastructure" was accused of plagiarism, because there was no financial involvement and it wasn’t published, deleting the pseudonym here didn’t bring any impact.

This time, he decided to trust one last time, finding a book from the bottom of the rankings—

This book had been published much earlier, in late December 2021, and among all the books, it was the cheapest in terms of sold copyright, titled "Apocalypse Survival."

It’s a female-oriented book, not particularly lengthy, totaling only 1.75 million words.

And the final selling price for its copyright was only a mere 1.05 million.

Although he hasn’t earned a penny from it yet and it’s questionable whether he even has 1,500 in his pocket, it doesn’t prevent Su Tiankuo’s perspective from having been elevated.

1.05 million, indeed, lowered his expectations to dust.

He chose this work after careful consideration.

Apocalyptic themes aren’t new, merely a matter of leveling up and fighting monsters, but this book included a farming element, the author wrote well, thus sparking renewed interest in apocalyptic themes.

Su Tiankuo triple-checked; though many apocalyptic-themed works exist and some similar anime, there’s none identical to the story he wants to write—not a single one.

He exhaled heavily, finally feeling the suffocating sensation around him gradually dissipate.

Su Tiankuo re-registered his pseudonym, washed away the past—he was once again a macho man writing 30,000 words every day.

Of course, he also wanted, like other authors, to write three to four thousand words a day, gradually extending the public period. But the problem is, others don’t have so much debt hanging over their heads!

In half a month, another lending platform’s repayment cycle looms.

The only thing he can do now is to frantically update and strive to publish as soon as possible.

If it weren’t for the site’s constraints and lack of recommendation slots, he could write directly to publish regardless.

The novel "Apocalypse Survival" successfully appeared in the new book section of the Feixiong Chinese Website.

[If "My Mountain and Sea Star" is so good, why produce only Season 1 if you can make it all?]

Now they’re doing only Season 1, ending so quickly—what’s going on?

Do they think members aren’t prestigious enough? They paid, why aren’t they entitled to see the continuation?
