“Actually, we’ve already discovered two days ago that the discussion on this year’s Fall Cup on social media was gradually growing, especially ‘Candle in the Tomb’ and ‘The Lost Tomb’. These two works were especially popular. Of course, ‘Ghosthands’, which suddenly became popular today, is also a force that can’t be underestimated. Next, we are about to go into the public voting and real-time vote counting segment!”

Professor Hades, who was usually humorous in his lectures, was surprisingly adept at being a host.

He did not have any stage fright in front of the audience below the stage or in front of the television crew.

“After reading for two and a half days, I’m sure the readers will have their favorite book in mind, so let the voting for this Fall Cup begin!”

The voting poll on the Fall Cup official website was unlocked.

Countless readers logged on to their computers, mobile phones, tablets, and other devices and started voting.

They saw that the two novels, ‘Candle in the Tomb’ and ‘The Lost Tomb’ had surpassed the other two books by an order of magnitude and had reached ridiculous heights.

The other two books were also on the rise, but they were slow to catch up.

Penguin Publishing was able to generate traffic and buy likes, but the voting process was very strict and only allowed those who read all four books to vote.

Traffic was nothing more than just giving the book more exposure.

The real attraction for readers to pay and read the books depended on the quality of the work, not anything else.

Thus, this scene now was like students who were used to cheating showed up exposed at the college entrance examination with their cover blown.

Good marketing worked, but it was just icing on the cake and could not change the author’s quality of writing.

Since everyone was a veteran publisher, they tacitly did not say anything when they saw this scene.

Hades just led everyone’s attention to the outstanding works, “Candle in the Tomb” and “The Lost Tomb”.

“Just as we expected, these two works have already started a war from the moment voting started. Before the final result of the poll is out, purely out of personal curiosity, I’d like to ask the judges and guests, which work do you think is more likely to win the championship in this final?”

Lilith pondered for a moment and spoke first. “It’s hard to say. In my opinion, the two works each have their own strengths, and the supporters are also evenly matched. I feel that giving it will be a pity if either one of the authors lost tonight.”
