All-rounder Artist-Chapter 847 - 802: Which Article’s Author is Chu Kuang?
Chapter 847: Chapter 802: Which Article’s Author is Chu Kuang?
Previously, many people boldly speculated that the three heavyweight pieces at the beginning of the blog were all written by Chu Kuang alone.
However.
When another four pieces, almost as strong as the first three, surfaced, nobody dared to guess that anymore. Netizens felt that their inherent understanding of short stories was being overturned—
Seven heavyweight pieces!
They couldn’t all be written by Chu Kuang, could they!
The blog must have secretly hired some help!
And not just one helper!
Yes.
Netizens had already finished reading the remaining four novels!
After reading the blog’s four consecutive releases, all readers were hugely impacted!
…
The first to ignite the reading frenzy was “The Tycoon,” as it was the first of the four novels to be released.
In terms of order, this piece was almost directly targeting “The Bell Ringer”!
Don’t forget, this piece called “The Bell Ringer” was confirmed by countless netizens to be a work by Feihong, one of the top three in Qin Continent!
The sourc𝗲 of this content is frёeωebɳovel.com.
However, when the first group of readers finished “The Tycoon,” the comment section exploded!
“My God!”
“It’s so brilliant!”
“How could another piece of this caliber just pop up again!”
“I thought the Tribe could rely on Feihong to regain some ground, but now it seems it’s still anyone’s game!”
“Using comedy to play with satire, that’s so sophisticated!”
“Capitalist society’s worship of money is depicted in this novel most vividly!”
“Whose masterpiece is this again!”
This short story describes two tycoons who want to find out what an outcome a poor man would face upon receiving a huge banknote; unexpectedly, people aggressively courted this suddenly wealthy pauper. From free meals and clothes to free accommodation, everyone treated him like a beggar trying to please him, continuously elevating his social status. Moreover, this lucky young man even got a good wife and a high bank interest rate, securing a very happy life ever after!
Comedy, satire, this piece received rave reviews!
…
The second piece to ignite the reading frenzy was “Inner Circle”!
The protagonist is a quirky person who wears rain boots and carries an umbrella on sunny days, always covers his bed with a mosquito net, and has a habit of putting everything inside covers. He is constantly paranoid about messing things up. When someone tries to set him up on a date, the mere thought of marriage and the responsibilities it entails overwhelms him, to the point that the marriage plan falls through. He then begins to fear that people will laugh at him, and eventually, he dies from a disease driven by his pent-up frustrations.
“Awesome!”
“This story is so educational!”
“I saw myself in the protagonist, too pessimistic about life, always thinking about the worst-case scenarios, and missing countless opportunities. The author made me realize my own faults in the most exaggerated way.”
“The character’s personality is exaggerated yet logical!”
“How many masters has the blog hired!”
“This narrative is just as good as the previous ones!”
“No wonder the blog’s approach this time is so fierce, they must have hired several creatures not weaker than Chu Kuang to take part!”
…
After finishing the second piece, netizens couldn’t wait to open “The Cop and the Anthem”!
It’s a hilariously absurd story, where the protagonist, unable to make it on the outside, decides to live in jail for free food and lodging. No matter how much he tries to get in trouble, the police simply won’t arrest him, but just when he’s moved by an anthem and resolves to live honestly, he’s arrested by the police for an ironically ridiculous charge and ends up in jail!
“Pfft!”
“I died laughing!”
“This piece is even funnier than ‘The Tycoon’, and is equally filled with satirical effects!”
“Absolutely master level!”
“From beginning to end, the satire, I kept wondering why the inactive police would arrest a loiterer, perhaps this also reflects the incompetence and ridicule represented by the police back then!”
“This story is so interesting!”
“The author is also a master, a top expert in writing short stories!”
“Who is this one by!”
…
The blog’s four consecutive releases, three of consistent high quality, left the readers extremely satisfied!
The fourth piece didn’t disappoint the readers either!
The story is called “My Uncle Yule.”
The theme of the story is actually human nature. When the protagonist’s family hears that the uncle made a lot of money, they praise the uncle until he’s put on a pedestal. But when they randomly meet Yule and realize he’s actually very down-and-out, their attitudes take a swift 180-degree turn, and they start to belittle him…
“A reflective story!”
“In a noisy world poverty goes unnoticed, wealth in the mountains finds distant relatives; this story is so realistic, I love it!”
“This piece made me crave oysters!”
“Human absurdity, real magic, you think it’s satire, but it’s actually reality!”
“With money, he’s an uncle, without it, he’s a stranger. How much influence do parents’ values have on their children, couldn’t you at least let the child taste an oyster!”
“This story, in my opinion, is not weaker than ‘Mutton Fat Jade’!”
“Any of these seven stories could stand up to the works of Feng Hua and Feihong!”
“Madness, how can the blog have so many classics, did they rally all the great short story writers not affiliated with the Tribe?”
…
Seven heavyweight short stories!
Seven heart-stopping tales!
The blog’s release of these seven works had the world of short stories turned upside down, everyone flipped backwards!
On the Tribe’s side.
The professionally highly-ranked short story writers didn’t know how to express their inner turmoil anymore!
“Where the hell did these come from!”
“Seven top-class pieces, how many geniuses did the blog hire!”
“I can’t beat even one of them!”
“They said the blog only had Chu Kuang worth mentioning, but now, I can’t even figure out which of the seven stories was written by Chu Kuang, they’re all true classics!”
“Classic short stories are just cabbages, huh!”
“I give up, I truly give up, please stop hitting me!”
“My brain’s been knocked out, who on earth are the authors of these works? Can the blog reveal the authors now? At least let me know how I died!”
“It must be those top-ranked ones!”
“Thinking about it, only a few have that level of skill!”
The short story writers in the Tribe were getting a bit carried away, it was obvious the blog was playing them!
Although it seemed like the Tribe had gathered a glamorous array, each writer more famous than the last, the blog wasn’t idle either—it had secretly assembled an even more terrifying lineup, possibly the ultimate lineup in the short story circle!
…
Facing the blog’s seven breathtaking pieces, Feng Hua and Feihong reached a consensus.
It must have been the blog secretly asking some monsters to step in!
The two immediately contacted each other and exchanged their thoughts.
Feng Hua, “Fei bro, what do you think?”
Feihong, “It should be those old rivals from the other continents.”
Feng Hua sighed, “Why didn’t they give us a heads-up?”
Feihong was also somewhat dissatisfied, “Although they are rivals, we are also long-time friends. If they had said something earlier, we could have also gone to the blog to publish and compete with them. Why bother mixing it up in the Tribe and the blog’s arena and making things so tense?”
“What annoys me most is that they previously told me they’ve been uninspired recently. This is what they call uninspired?”
“That’s what they also told me.”
“Let’s find them!”
“Yeah, I’ll go tag everyone in the group chat, no more pretending if they play dumb!”
Both were figures at the pinnacle of the short story arena.
And this group of people at the peak of the short story circle actually consisted of just a few people, who were all old friends knowing each other for many years and had several common chat groups privately.
They even kept each other informed about when they would publish new pieces.
With a mindset of settling scores.
Feng Hua opened the largest industry chat group and started calling out names:
“Ol’ Li, Ol’ Huang, Ol’ Zhou, Ol’ He… You guys, come out and voluntarily claim your works, don’t think I don’t know it’s your doing just because the author column is anonymous!”
Feihong then appeared:
“The blog released seven top-notch short stories, and except for the piece corresponding to Chu Kuang, the other works are definitely some people in this group’s new creations. Stop playing dead (angry)”
This group also contained several short story masters who had published new works in the Tribe.
Seeing the two leaders take the initiative, one by one they also started popping up:
“It’s time to come out.”
“No more anonymity.”
“I know you are reading the messages.”
“Guess the big timers are having a chuckle right now.”
“Big timers, you’ve really crushed us!”
“I’m crying to death!”
As they popped up, the few capable of writing top-notch short stories in the group were all called out.
When these individuals appeared, they directly denied with a triple rejection:
“It wasn’t me, ah!”
“Don’t talk nonsense!”
“I told you two already, I’ve been uninspired recently!”
“We were just discussing this too. These seven short stories from the blog, which high-skilled authors’ works are they?
“These seven novels are truly incredible; there are two among them where I feel utterly inferior!”
“Damn, where did all these freaks come from? Now, many of my fans are also asking if I secretly helped the blog. They even said ‘Mutton Fat Jade’ was my work, I could wake up laughing from a dream if I could write that!”
“I’m more curious about, which of the pieces was written by Chu Kuang?”
“…”
The writers from the Tribe were dumbfounded.
Not you?
Then where did the blog’s seven classic pieces spring from, stones?
Feng Hua and Feihong were also stunned.
As top-tier short story writers, they knew these people’s characters quite well.
At this point, denying it was pointless and might even seem like they were dismissing them.
But if not them, then who else could it be?
Could it be a batch of emerging talents within the industry?
Stop joking!
The sophistication showcased in those seven short stories, could they be the work of newcomers?
Three minutes later.
Feihong messaged Feng Hua privately: “I’ve called each one to confirm; it really isn’t them.”
Feng Hua jumped in frustration, replying subconsciously, “If not them, could all seven pieces have been written by Chu Kuang?”
Eh?
Eh, Eh, Eh?
After responding, Feng Hua suddenly felt a twitch in his eyelid.
At the same time.
On the other end, Feihong, as though struck by the same thought, felt a slight tremor in his laughter lines.
Feihong, “It couldn’t be…”
Feng Hua, “…right?”
Feihong, “…”
Feng Hua, “…”
In the chat box, both sent out a string of ellipses.
