Chapter 36 - It’s Me! (2/2)

Fang Yuan could feel the crowd’s nervousness.

He also felt that if his next words were not right, he would immediately face a storm.

However, he still swept his gaze across the crowd and finally said with confidence, “It’s me…”

He did not say anything else.

“What do you mean?”

“What does he mean by that?”

Everyone was stunned.

“Go down! The one who should be standing on the stage is the author of ‘The Lost Tomb’!”

Someone could not stand the torture, so he shouted at Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan was not mad at that person and said with a smile, “It’s me…”

The scene was completely silent.

“What do you mean…”

Finally, a reporter stood up and asked, “Mr. Fang Yuan, what do you mean…”

Fang Yuan interrupted him and said, “It’s exactly what you think. It’s me.”

“Are you saying that you’re the author of ‘Candle in the Tomb’ and ‘The Lost Tomb’?”

The reporter finally reacted and screamed.

Fang Yuan nodded and said, “That’s right, it’s me.”

The whole place was silent for three seconds.

“Kaboom!”

Thousands of people screamed at once that it caused a shockwave like an explosion.

“After arguing for so long, it turns out that ‘Candle in the Tomb’ and ‘The Lost Tomb’ are by the same author!”

“OMG! It’s really hard to imagine that someone could perfectly merge the writing styles of an old man and a young man into two books. I can’t even tell that these two books were written by the same person!”

“This is too incredible!”

“There’s something even more amazing. Have you forgotten that he’s also the author of ‘The Coiling Dragon’? The style of ‘The Coiling Dragon’ is not at all similar to these two tomb-robbing novels!”

“I can’t believe that it’s the same author. Previously, to support ‘The Lost Tomb’, I saw the author and fans of ‘Candle in the Tomb’ as my enemy! But now, you’re like my half-brothers and half-sisters!”

“All fans who support ‘Candle in the Tomb’ and ‘The Lost Tomb’, unite!”

At this moment, the internet was in a frenzy.

Previously, due to Penguin Publishing’s interference, many fans of ‘The Lost Tomb’ went to vote for ‘Ghosthand’ as well to suppress the number one ‘Candle in the Tomb’.

After all, ‘Candle in the Tomb’ was a good book.

Thus, when ‘The Lost Tomb’ fans saw such a strong competitor, they went all out.

What was happening now?

The same author wrote both works all by himself?!

Everyone was dumbfounded and could not help but laugh.

“What the hell? Is this real?! If you’d told us earlier, I wouldn’t have fought with my wife! Hahaha!”

There were all sorts of complaints, but no one cursed at him. It was a completely different treatment from when the author of ‘Ghosthand’ went on stage.

In the end, the rankings of both books increased crazily.

The numbers of “Candle in the Tomb” and “The Lost Tomb” surpassed “Ghosthand” by a long mile.

The number of fans’ support even reached a terrifying figure of 500,000.

Everyone talked about it endlessly.

Seeing that Fang Yuan was still on stage, someone was the first to applaud, then the second, and the third.

Everyone gave Fang Yuan a standing ovation as they seemed to have witnessed a new Oriental literary star on the rise to fame.
