The clock struck midnight.
The votes were fixed. Zhang Ye's story was in first place.
Not only were the Mushroom fanclub members and bystanders shocked, not only were the children's literature authors dumbfounded, even Zhang Ye himself was dumbfounded. He only had one thought in his mind. Impossible. When did this bro have so many hardcore fans?
He knew himself very well. Although he had written a few poems and created a supernatural novel, he was not a big name. He had not reached that level. For example, Andy Lau's works. As long as people saw his works, their first reaction would be "Oh, this is a Heavenly King's movie", "Oh, this is a song sung by Andy Lau". Some people's works were also very famous, but when people thought about who the author was, many people would not remember it. Zhang Ye was the same. Many people who had seen those works would only remember the name of the work. Only a few people knew the name of the author!
But what was with this sea of fans in front of him?
In the blink of an eye, he had completely destroyed the clamoring Mushroom fanclub? And he had destroyed them to the point of speechlessness?
This essay competition was in their cultural domain! This was the fan club of one of the big bosses of children's literature! But why did it feel like Zhang Ye was fighting on his home turf?
It shouldn't be like this. There must be a reason!
Looking at the comments …
Looking at Weibo …
Soon, Zhang Ye finally found the reason. Most of these people were not his fans. At least 80% of them were not. They had not read "Ghost Blows Out the Light", nor had they read Zhang Ye's poems. The common point was that they had either participated in or watched the "scolding war" incident a few days ago. Of course, there were hardcore fans of Zhang Ye. For example, the "ZhangYeNumber1Fan" who had started the call. The others were the troll army that came to join in the fun. They had nothing better to do. Now that there was a commotion, they came over to stir up trouble. They were a bunch of people who wished for the world to be in chaos and were extremely bored. Furthermore, the "scolding war" incident had only happened a few days ago. The power of Zhang Ye's massacre was still there. The troll army was very convinced of Zhang Ye. Hence, under the leadership of a few hardcore fans, many of the troll army had been mobilized to vote crazily. It was similar to the feeling of "helping Wang Feng get on the headlines" in his world. It was purely to stir up trouble!
Having obtained victory, the troll army began to flaunt!
"First!"
"Good job, brothers!"
"Haha! Everyone is too awesome! "
"Ten thousand votes, ten thousand votes! Do you have to be so crazy? "
"Where are the Mushroom fan club's people? Where is he? Didn't you say that you wanted to scare us? Why do you look like you're scared stiff? "
"Do you know how many fans Almighty Zhang has? How dare you look down on us? "
"Smile without saying a word. Mushroom fanclub, you are too naive!"
"Scolding Teacher Zhang for manipulating votes? But you guys are farming like crazy? What a joke! Teacher Zhang Ye still needed to buy votes? Do we still need to buy tickets? Each of us gets one vote! We won't even buy a single ticket, we'll still crush you! To our friends, we have good meat and good wine. To our enemies, we will accompany them at any time without hesitation! Today, we will give you Teacher Zhang's inspiring words — I bought a watch last year! "
"This is a memorable battle! Let us record this historic moment! We have once again created a miracle with Teacher Zhang Ye! "
"How satisfying! How exciting! "
"Is Teacher Zhang Ye still around?"
"We have already conquered the enemy's walls. We have already sounded the horn of victory. Teacher Zhang, please say a few words to us brothers!"
Zhang Ye was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He never expected so many people to help him. At the same time, his heart was filled with gratitude. He immediately left a comment on "Little Bunnies Be Good". With everyone's support, he had to leave a comment, "Thank you for everyone's help. Comrades, you have worked hard!"
The neatly lined up downstairs!
"Serving the people!"
"Serving the people + 1!"
"Serving the people + 723!"
In a blink of an eye, this comment had more than 800 replies. All of them were the same sentence!
What kind of formation was this? What kind of momentum was this? Many of the spectators who were neutral felt their blood boiling. With this troll army, it was enough to conquer the world … * Cough *. The only problem was that this troll army was a little lacking. In the end, they still could not figure out who Zhang Ye was. How could he have such a large troll army supporting him!
ZhangYeNumber1Fan dismissed the crowd, "Mission accomplished! Troll army, retreat! Thank you brothers for your efforts! "
They left as quickly as they came. This group of troll army was like a nest of hornets that would sting anyone they didn't like. They came and went as they pleased!
Seeing the troll army leave or go to sleep, someone from the Mushroom fanclub jumped out again. They went to the website's complaint section to report Zhang Ye's fairy tale.
Mushroom Cult Hero: "Report! "Little Bunnies Be Good" was manipulated! "
Mushroom Cult Qiqi: "Tens of thousands of votes in four hours! How is that possible!? It was too obvious! "
QWYUE33: "I think it was manipulated. Other people only had tens of thousands of votes in seven days. Furthermore, they were all master-level authors in the industry. He's a radio host and a ghost story writer. How can he write such a good fairy tale? To get so many people to vote for him? It's not realistic! "
Suddenly, Little Red Mushroom's account's message appeared in the complaint section. She herself had also appeared. Clearly, she was not satisfied with the second place result. This was because this essay competition was different from other essay competitions. There was no meaning to second or third place. There was no remuneration, no trophy. Only the first place winner would be promoted by the Beijing Education Department in kindergartens and primary schools. The second place winner was completely useless!
Little Red Mushroom posted: "Did anyone check the authenticity of the votes? I believe many authors in the industry cannot accept this result, right? The number of votes for "Little Bunnies Be Good" has increased abnormally! "
With one of the top sisters in the children's book field speaking out, a few fairy tale authors in the industry who participated in the essay competition began to question Zhang Ye's votes!
"Has the technical staff knocked off?"
"Why can't we see such obvious manipulation of votes?"
"Are there any fair and open rules left?"
A website administrator's ID replied, "The technical staff is handling it. Please wait a moment. If there is any manipulation of votes, the technical staff will block the votes!"
After waiting for about ten minutes, the statistics came out!
Essay Competition First Place: "Little Bunnies Be Good" Author: Zhang Ye. Final Votes: 45871! Zhang Ye's votes did not change at all. It was exactly the same as the statistics at midnight. Instead, the second place Little Red Mushroom's votes dropped from 37212 to 35399! The technical staff deducted 2000 votes from her!
When the results came out, there was nothing but silence!
So it was really not adulterated! Then this story was too heaven-defying! It had really obtained more than 40,000 votes in four hours?
Everyone was very surprised, but no one doubted the authenticity of Zhang Ye's votes. Even without the support of the troll army, after deducting the votes from Little Red Mushroom's fans, Zhang Ye would still have obtained first place. There was no doubt about it!
Of course, it could not be said that way. If the troll army had not pushed Zhang Ye to first place, and Zhang Ye had used second place to report Little Red Mushroom for manipulation of votes, the website might not have accepted it.
The adorable troll army had really helped Zhang Ye a lot!
Zhang Ye was moved for a while before suddenly remembering something important. He quickly added a paragraph to his story summary, "This version of the story is a silent text version. It is not the complete version of 'Little Bunnies Be Good'. Tomorrow at 12 PM, Beijing Radio Station's Literature Channel's' Old and Young Story Club 'will be broadcasting the complete audio version punctually. When the time comes, the song in the story will also be presented to everyone. Please pay attention."
"There's really a song? I thought it was just text! "
"I'll remember the time. I'll definitely tune in on time!"
"Haha, I've been waiting for this song. I'll let my colleagues know when the time comes."
"I'm just wondering. Some people just can't stand to see others doing well, right? If they are inferior, they are inferior. How can they say that they manipulated votes? Who said that only people in the industry can write good stories? Who said that authors who write ghost stories can't write fairy tales? I suggest to all those so-called Teachers who reported Teacher Zhang Ye to patiently watch 'Little Bunnies Be Good' with a learning attitude. From the perspective of not opening the door to strangers and the meaning behind it, Teacher Zhang's fairy tale completely beats all of you. It is well deserved! My child is still clamoring beside me to memorize 'Little Bunnies Be Good' and recite it to her every day! The child has already given the answer! "
"Previous poster, well said!"
"Hai, when a newcomer makes a name for himself, he will always be doubted by the old!"
"I can't stand it anymore either. The Mushroom fanclub's clamoring from the beginning made me feel uncomfortable. Bullying the weak with numbers? Ha, in the end, their faces were smacked badly! Zhang Ye? This Teacher is interesting. I'm already a fan of his Weibo. I like his fairy tales a lot. "
"Handshake!"
"I like Zhang Ye's story! A passerby turning into a fan! "
Zhang Ye's fame experienced another small increase. More people knew of his story and knew of him as a person through this incident!
