492 Breaking! A Particular Village Leader Repeatedly Climbs a Tree to Find Chickens! (1/2)

He surveyed his surroundings and confirmed that his peers were resting. He was elated that he was the first reporter to receive the news. He hurriedly took out his cell phone and made a call!

”Hey, President. About that...Shi...Shi Xiaobai has entered...the eighth...the eighth level!” said the suited reporter nervously and excitedly while holding his cellphone in one hand as he repressed his voice.

”What did you say? You fool, can't you speak louder! Did you find some retarded news again? How many times have I told you? You should do things in a prim and proper manner, clean and clear. You better watch it if you find trash news like 'Hen Climbs a Tree' or 'Sow Enters the Sea'. Hmph!”

The president yelled angrily. In fact, he was rather displeased with the suited reporter. The reporter had no looks or powers. Every day, he would find some unpopular piece of news. If not for his services rendered to the news agency for so many years, he would have long been fired.

The suited reporter frowned as he turned his head to the side. He placed the cell phone further away from his ear.

To him, the president was lacking in everything. He was lacking in build, heart and tolerance. However, there was one thing that was not lacking in any way. His voice was louder than everyone else.

Hmph! Do you think it's easy for a 'hen to climb a tree' or a 'sow to enter the sea'? How can you call that trash news? What lacking foresight you have.

No matter how angry the suited reporter was, he did not forget the original goal for making the phone call. He immediately composed himself and said with a smile by raising his voice,

”President, Shi Xiaobai has reached the eighth level of the trial tower!”

”Ah!? Shi Xiaobai has finally reached the eighth level!”

The president had heard it clearly this time. He had exclaimed first before falling silent for several seconds. Suddenly, he praised with a cheerful tone, ”Not bad. Good job. As expected of our Donglin News Agency's future star. Keep up the good work and continue working hard. Your 'hopes and dreams' will be fulfilled and there will be no lack of promotions and pay increments!”

After the president said those words, he smiled and said to the busy editor-in-chief in the office, ”Editor Liu, that shall be headlines of the evening paper tonight. Try to get it done in the shortest possible time. This is first-hand news. Haha. There definitely won't be any news more explosive than this.”

Editor-in-Chief Liu gave a strong nod as he looked excited. Donglin News Agency was just a tiny news publication agency. The field reporters were mostly the bottom of the barrel after they were eliminated by other news agencies. The news that they submitted to him made him want to kill himself. Every time, he had to showcase his 'literary talent' and come up with some 'philosophical' title, for example, ”Breaking! A Particular Village Leader Repeatedly Climbs a Tree to Find Chickens!” or ”Could it be that only beauties can enter the sea? No! Watch as a sow bravely dives into the sea!”

But unfortunately, the news itself was considered unsought. Even a 'philosophical' title could not save it. Instead, it earned itself as the infamy as 'shameless clickbait title'.

And today, was Donglin News Agency welcoming in a new era?

Shi Xiaobai enters the eighth level—It was a matter of national attention. It was a news that could even shock the entire world!

If they could be able to publish the piece of news first, Donglin News Agency's reputation would benefit from the situation as well!

Without any delay, Editor-in-Chief Liu began to rapidly type on his keyboard while writing the article with verve and flair.

Outside the auditorium, the suited reporter had swung his fists. The other reporters ate their meals at regular times or they would return home to sleep when they were tired. As for him, in order to await the piece of news, he had eaten bread and snacks daily. He even laid out a mat to sleep in the auditorium at night. And indeed, just as Providence helps those who help themselves, his hard work had not been in vain!

Yeah! A celebration is in order tonight!

The suited reporter thought to himself as he began to suffer a dilemma. ”Should I go to a brothel or a massage parlor?”

At that moment, there was a brouhaha from the exit to the trial tower. Following that, several medical personnel that was stationed nearby rushed to the tower's exit.

The suited reporter watched in a daze at the strange actions of those people. Before he realized that something odd had happened, he had a vague feeling that another piece of breaking news had happened.
