Chapter 1355 - 1130: Poison Tested, It's Safe

Lin Yuan hopes Chu Kuang can quickly climb into the top ten on the Blue Star Writers' Rankings.

This requires Chu Kuang to speed up the updates for the Harry Potter series.

In fact, Lin Yuan is indeed doing just that.

Only two days into February, Lin Yuan has already written the third installment of Harry Potter: "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban."

Reviewing the creative process for this series.

Lin Yuan discovered that in a little over a month, he wrote about 700,000 words.

Hmm.

A typist powerhouse performing at a normal level.

If he wanted to, Lin Yuan could be even crazier, but that doesn't seem necessary. Better save some money for the readers.

After all, reading books is quite pricey.

However, the completed third book can now be published.

That evening.

After receiving the manuscript, Silver Blue Books couldn't wait to announce the news:

The third installment of the Harry Potter series, "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban," is officially complete and will be released in a few days!

Immediately.

The entire internet erupted!

Especially readers from Zhong Continent, who were absolutely stunned!

"What the—!"

"So fast!"

"Not even two months, and the third book is coming out!?"

"I've been reading for fifteen years, followed novels by hundreds of authors, and I've NEVER seen someone write this fast!"

"The first two books each have over 200,000 words!"

"If the third book is the same length, that's 600,000 words!"

"A normal author would need at least half a year to write that many words. How did he manage it in just over a month?!"

"Could it really be pre-written drafts?"

"I've investigated his past works. This guy has always been quick with updates. It's impossible he has drafts every single time!"

"This speed is unbeatable!"

"Following this series is just TOO satisfying. Finished the first book? Here's the second. Finished the second book? Here's the third!"

"It's happiness overload!"

The ultimate joy of a reader is when their favorite work updates faster than they can read!

Chu Kuang has accomplished this!

Across Blue Star, this is a one-of-a-kind phenomenon!

For other authors, unless they have pre-written drafts or something, even the fastest can't compete with him!

There might be someone faster.

But their fame wouldn't even be in the same league as Chu Kuang.

Without recognition and popularity, even the fastest updates wouldn't matter.

...

Meanwhile, readers from Qin, Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, and Wei don't feel particularly moved.

Chu Kuang, the old rascal, has always been renowned for "rapid updates."

The shock Zhong Continent readers are experiencing now—other continents have long gone through this countless times.

At this moment.

Outside of Zhong Continent.

Readers from other continents were filled with the confident superiority of experienced fans:

"Such fuss over nothing."

"There's no way it was pre-written drafts. The old rascal's been writing books for years. With the speed he updates, it's insane to suggest he always has drafts ready. We generally call him a typist powerhouse."

"Typist powerhouse? How come I've never heard that title?"

"I just made it up. Tell me, doesn't it fit perfectly?"

"It totally fits. But honestly, compared to 'typist powerhouse,' the nickname 'old rascal' is way more ingrained in people's hearts."

"Whoa, don't jinx it, bro. I'm scared."

"Every time I think of this guy's nickname, I hesitate to continue reading the Harry Potter series."

"You can relax about this one!"

"The term 'children's literature' is the biggest guarantee of all!"

"Besides, you've already read the first two books. Were there even slight hints of tragic moments?"

"Forget tragedy—there were barely even moments of hardship for the protagonist."

"I don't care. I don't trust this guy's credibility. I'm waiting for reviews before deciding whether to keep reading."

"Same."

"This guy did the same thing with his Legend of the Condor Heroes trilogy. The first book was going great—Guo Jing and Huang Rong's love was infinitely beautiful. Then in the second book, 'The Return of the Condor Heroes,' Yang Guo lost his arm, and Little Dragon Maiden lost her purity. Who knows if the Harry Potter series might follow the same pattern—lowering our guard in the first two books, only to suddenly hit us hard in the third!"

"Then you better wait and see."

"But I trust Chu Kuang. Delay too long, and you might not even get the book."

...

Once bitten by a snake.

Ten years afraid of ropes.

Chu Kuang is the snake that bites.

Many people haven't just been bitten once by Chu Kuang.

After being repeatedly hit by Chu Kuang, countless readers have wised up, deciding not to rush into buying his new books. First, they check the reviews to see how the word-of-mouth fares.

If the reputation is good, they buy.

If the reputation isn't great, they hesitate…

And then buy anyway.

Alright.

No matter how aware people are of the traps, many still jump into them, reenacting the iconic scene:

The old rascal torments me a thousand times, yet I remain devoted to him like a first love.

Still, there are indeed some readers holding back—even if this is a children's literature series.

Fortunately, the majority of readers are willing to trust Chu Kuang this time not to pull any surprises.

Especially the readers from Zhong Continent.

Although many Zhong Continent readers have learned about Chu Kuang's dark past through the internet.

They're even poking fun at the readers from other continents:

"What's the fuss all about?"

"Why so cautious when reading a book?"

"Afraid to read Harry Potter?"

"Such a heartwarming and soothing novel—how could it possibly be a tragedy?"

"I've read some of Chu Kuang's works. While a few were chaotic, most were pretty normal."

"Chu Kuang pulling tragic moments is ultimately a low-probability event."

"With children's literature, that probability is basically zero."

"What do you know?"

"This guy is a devil!"

"You'll understand sooner or later!"

"This scene is so familiar. When Zhao Continent joined the merge years ago, they said the same thing, then 'The Return of the Condor Heroes' crushed their souls. History is repeating itself now with Zhong Continent."

Heh.

Having endured the Zhao Continent Legend of the Condor Heroes trilogy debacle, readers from Qin, Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, and Wei couldn't be bothered to argue with Zhong Continent readers.

Children's literature?

The Harry Potter series is indeed harmless and wholesome.

Even readers thoroughly acquainted with Chu Kuang admit this.

But what about later?

Old habits die hard.

This old rascal is bound to revert to his ways someday!

Judging by patterns, it won't be long now.

Because his recent books have been unusually good—almost suspiciously so.

Feels like he's brewing up something big!

Perhaps, once Harry Potter is done, he'll start again!

Unless his next book is also this harmless children's literature type!

And amidst the mixture of anticipation and nervousness across continents, the third installment of Harry Potter was released!

Just like the previous two.

The third book's sales exploded from the start!

In fact.

With the foundation of the first two books, the third book's buyers were even crazier!

Thankfully.

Major booksellers in Zhong Continent had learned their lesson and prepared ample stock.

There'd be no awkward scenario where the novel sells out on the first day.

After getting the third book in the Harry Potter series, "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban," readers from across continents began reading immediately!

That evening.

As readers finished the third book—

The reviews came rolling in.

From Qin, Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, and Wei, countless readers, feeling utterly content like adventurers returning from a perilous journey, rushed to inform the skeptics:

Tested for poison.

It's safe.
