Chapter 316: Chapter 316 Wang Hao’s Counterattack Chapter 316: Chapter 316 Wang Hao’s Counterattack After listening to Wen Dao’s comment, everyone present immediately felt that the numbers were indeed surprisingly high.

“Actually, if we’re talking about high data, it could be considered normal,” Wen Dao said with a smile, “but both authors of these books are newcomers, completely unknown newcomers. I ask you, how is that possible? Just take ‘Break the Heavens’ author Heaven Silkworm Potato, who had heard of him before?”

Everyone present shook their heads in unison.

Wen Dao continued, “What about ‘Devouring the Stars’ author Tomato Loves to Eat, who had heard of him either?”

The crowd shook their heads again.

“There you have it,” Wen Dao said, “indeed, both are absolutely new authors who had no fame whatsoever before and suddenly got famous with just one book! Everyone, don’t you think there might be something fishy about it? That’s why I believe the data for these two books is fake, undoubtedly obtained through some illegitimate means!”

There was something fishy, way too fishy!

After Wen Dao finished his explanation, everyone present nodded in agreement–pure newcomers, yet with such terrifying data, it had to be abnormal!

“So that’s how it is. Our company was about to buy the adaptation rights for ‘Break the Heavens’, but now we can’t!”

“Our company wanted to buy ‘Devouring the Stars’, but now it seems we can’t act rashly!”

The crowd buzzed with discussion, while Wen Dao stood there smug. He had been observing these two books for a long time; such data for a pure newcomer was definitely not normal, and there was no doubt about it!

Daring to outshine me? A few words from me will make you hit the streets!

Just then, at this very moment within the conference venue, an inconspicuous young man in a little corner slowly spoke up. With just one sentence, the whole venue fell silent: “Wen Dao ‘The God’, you claim to understand data, to be seasoned, but it looks like a lot of what you say isn’t quite accurate! You say those two books are fishy, but I feel their data is very normal, and it’s your own ‘Heavenly Martial Heroes’ that might have the real fishiness, right?!”

Someone was actually questioning the authority of Wen Dao!

Instantly, everyone in the venue looked toward that corner, with many people curiously asking, “Who is that guy?”

Cheng Dequan, sitting on the stage, saw someone challenging him and hastily asked, “This gentleman is…?”

“I’m really sorry,” Wang Hao, sitting in the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Region, replied with a smile, “The ‘Break the Heavens’, whose data you claim is unreliable, is my book!”

In fact, Wang Hao was holding back–‘Devouring the Stars’ was his too!

Hearing that ‘Break the Heavens’ was written by this young man, everyone present was stunned!

Their instincts told them that there was a good show today!

Was the veteran Supreme God about to confront the rising Supreme God then and there?!

“Now this is interesting!” “Exactly, today was worth coming!” “These two are actually going at it, let’s enjoy the drama!”

“It’s you!” Upon realizing the person in front of him was Heaven Silkworm Potato, Cheng Dequan promptly stood up, “I had previously contacted Fengyun Chinese Network trying to invite you, but the editor said they couldn’t reach you these past couple of days. I didn’t expect you to be here, please come forward, let’s hear what you have to say!”

“Actually, I was here today just to be a ‘soy sauce’ onlooker,” Wang Hao walked up to the stage, where Cheng Dequan had already arranged an extra seat. Wang Hao sat down, grabbed the microphone, and slowly said, “For me, researching this copyright thing isn’t very significant because I already have a full set of development plans. But this so-called God Wen Dao took my work and used it as a negative example, and I just couldn’t stand it, right?”

As soon as Wang Hao spoke, the entire conference room exploded!

The theme of today’s meeting was supposed to be the discussion of web novel adaptations and the future development plans of the animation industry. Everyone was ready to listen to boring reports. But then there was God Wen Dao’s live Q&A, followed immediately by the appearance of the author of the hottest newcomers ‘Break the Heavens’!

Therefore, all the onlookers present expressed their joy and interest.

“Now there’s a spectacle to see, a clash between a rising god and an established god, so satisfying!”

“Those arguments from Wen Dao did seem logical and well-founded; it might not be so easy for Wang Hao to rebut!”

“Yeah, let’s see what Wang Hao has to say.”

At that moment, the anticipation rose in everyone’s hearts as they waited to see what exactly Wang Hao was going to say.

“Wen Dao, my friend,” Wang Hao sat leisurely in his seat, smiling, “you claim that my data is manufactured. That’s actually quite simple to verify. Whether it’s true or false, we can just compare a few sets of data, should be no problem right? I think you surely won’t say you’re too scared to do that, will you?”

Now that Wang Hao had taken the stage, Wen Dao naturally wasn’t afraid, snorting, “What’s there to be scared of? I do believe your book’s data is fake, and I’m not afraid to say it anywhere.”

“Well, of course, I can’t exactly seal your mouth, can I?” Wang Hao said, chuckling, “But as for whether what you’re saying is true or false, let’s just take a look now.” He said this as he turned on his computer and randomly selected a book with decent data from the Fengyun Chinese Literature Network, saying, “Everybody first look at this book, well, ‘Arrogant Demon’, which also went live about a month ago. Please, take a look at how many recommendation tickets it has this week?”

People looked and someone called out, “Twenty-four thousand.”

Wang Hao nodded and said, “Now, let’s see the book review section. How many posts and replies are there?”

People below didn’t understand why he was asking, with many shouting, “There are ten thousand posts, fifteen thousand replies.”

“Very good,” Wang Hao continued, “Now, let’s see how many rewards the book has received today?”

Everyone looked again, and someone exclaimed, “Twenty-one!”

“You’re all correct,” Wang Hao said with a smile. “Wen Dao claimed that my book’s data was padded, right? ‘Arrogant Demon’ isn’t my book, so it shouldn’t have any padded data, right?”

Wen Dao narrowed his eyes slightly, not understanding what Wang Hao was implying.

At that moment, someone in the audience called out, “The author of this book is Nether Demon, he’s also a big name on Fengyun Chinese Literature Network, right? The book’s performance is pretty good; I know its average subscription is around eight thousand.”

“Someone gets it, then this makes things easier!” Wang Hao said with a beaming smile, “With a comparison, it becomes quite convenient. Generally speaking, these are the data for a book with an average of eight thousand subscriptions. Now, how about the collection numbers for this book?”

Wang Hao clicked through a few links and entered the book’s collection interface. Soon, everyone saw the displayed number–

“58,000!” “Not bad at all!” “Well, he is a prominent author, impressive!”

“Yes, exactly 58,000!” Wang Hao said, snapping his fingers sharply, adding, “With that impression of a book averaging eight thousand subscriptions, now let’s move on to ‘Break the Heavens’!” As he spoke, Wang Hao logged directly into his author backend, presenting everything to the audience–

“The average subscriptions for ‘Break the Heavens’ is currently 45,000! If we calculate by a factor of five, then how many recommendation tickets should it have? One hundred and twenty thousand! How many posts? Fifty thousand, and replies? Seventy-five thousand! Now, how about today’s rewards? One hundred and eighteen!”

Wang Hao had barely finished when the entire audience was astounded!

If one looked at it this way, the data for ‘Break the Heavens’ was practically almost exactly five times higher than that of ‘Arrogant Demon’!

“My God, it looks like there’s absolutely no problem with ‘Break the Heavens’ data!”

“Exactly, all aspects of the data for the eight thousand average subscriptions are nearly one-fifth of it, there’s no problem at all!”

Wen Dao’s face had changed! He could never have imagined Wang Hao would know the data of Fengyun Chinese Literature Network so well!

And clearly, Wang Hao wasn’t about to give him any chance to retort!

“Now, let’s look at the other two books!” Wang Hao went straight to the data page of ‘Devouring the Stars’: “Please look, ‘Devouring the Stars’, currently ranked number two, hasn’t even gone live yet. Let’s see its data, shall we?! Recommendation tickets, one hundred and ten thousand! How many posts? Currently just over thirty thousand, and how about replies? Forty-five thousand! How about today’s rewards? One hundred and twenty-six!”

“These two books fall very much within a very normal proportion from any perspective!” As he said this, Wang Hao suddenly pointed at Wen Dao, shouting loudly, “But what about your ‘Heavenly Martial Heroes’, huh?! The old-timer Supreme God claiming a hundred thousand collections?!”

Without saying another word, Wang Hao opened up the data page for ‘Heavenly Martial Heroes’, rattling off, “Ninety-five thousand recommendation tickets, member weekly clicks fifty-two thousand, this looks normal, right? But everyone look here! How many rewards does it have today? Only thirty-one! And the forum posts? Just eight thousand, twelve thousand replies! With such a glaring discrepancy in data, hehe, the legendary Supreme God Wen Dao, seems like your book is really quite waterlogged, isn’t it?!”
