Li Yao felt as if someone had punched his Adam's apple and poured a ton of cement into his chest, suffocating him.
An inexplicable fury surged up, and he almost wanted to swallow the entire computer.
Stopped updating? Stopped updating?! How could he stop updating? Wasn't the author a bit too irresponsible?
Who won the war between the Federation and the Imperium? What was the so-called 'Alliance of the Holy Covenant', which was ten thousand times more evil than the Imperium? What was the truth behind the Pangu civilization? Most importantly of all, what was the purpose of the goddamn 'Vulture Plan'? Would that 'Cultivator Li Yao' find Earth and return to it?
The author had dug so many holes in the beginning, depicting a brilliant and colorful universe, completely whetting the appetite of the readers. In the end, he had irresponsibly stopped updating, abandoned the holes, and left it unfinished?
How could this happen?
Li Yao wished that he could crawl into the computer and find the original 'Crouching Bull' through the wireless network so that he could grab the guy's collar and force him to spit out everything.
Li Yao's eyes were bloodshot as he gritted his teeth. He did not know why he was so frustrated and angry.
He opened the comments section, only to discover that a lot of people were just as furious as him.
After seven days of no updates, the comments section was already in chaos.
Li Yao read the rest of the posts according to the order in which they were published. In the first few days, some people were still concerned about the author and asked the author to explain himself. But as the author disappeared, more and more readers could not hold back their anger anymore and started cursing in the posts.
"The first four to five hundred chapters of this book are not bad. The writing is quite smooth and easy to read. But what the hell is the author writing after the five hundred chapters? Is he writing a novel or an essay? It's so ugly! I thought that I could restore the quality of the first few chapters, but the author just stopped updating? Damn eunuch! "
"I've never seen such a lousy novel before. Two people talk to each other for several chapters like a broken toilet. When it comes to the latest 'Ancient Sages Sector', it is even more outrageous. The twelve experts from the Ancient Sages Sector have been chatting in meetings for dozens of chapters. Is there no end to it?" "What the hell! I know that the author has run out of ideas and can't write anymore. As expected, he's done with it. Quit! Quit! "
"Actually, I've long known that this author was going to leave things as they were. Originally, it was a good interstellar cultivation and leveling up monster fighting novel, but he just had to bring in a lot of personal stuff, making the scene bigger and bigger and talking more and more sense. Time and time again, the plot was dragged to the extreme and the results were getting worse and worse. In short, with the author's skills, it's impossible for him to handle such a big topic. He just keeps digging holes and then using bigger holes to cover up the previous ones. In the end, he can't fill them up, so he just quit. Sigh, it's a pity that I wasted so much time and money! "
Of course, there were also some die-hard readers who worked hard to defend the author. They said that they had communicated with the author on WeChat a few days ago. The author had encountered something and injured his hand, so he was resting for a few days. He would continue to update after he recovered.
In the following post, someone immediately retorted mercilessly: "Come on, he can only fool new readers like you. In fact, the author's background has been exposed by us a long time ago. This guy is now wearing an alias called 'Crouching Bull Spiritual Master' and pretending to be some young and tender newcomer. In fact, he's an old turtle with a trailing skirt. His original name is' Daniel Zhang ', but he's always unfinished and unfinished, so he can only change his alias time and time again to deceive innocent new readers. Sigh, I didn't expect that I would be tricked this time.
Li Yao flipped through a lot of book reviews. Many indignant readers were clamoring to send razor blades to the author. There were also people who were eager to find the author and beat him up, and so on and so forth.
Li Yao, however, was still brooding over the message he had just received.
Something happened to the author? Was he injured?
Li Yao recalled that "40,000 Years of Cultivation" stopped updating seven days ago. In other words, if the poster wasn't lying, the author should have been injured seven days ago.
Coincidentally, at the Pegasus Lake International Animation Festival, the web novel author was smashed to death by a headlamp, and the fantasy novel master Gilson and manga artist Takaya Yoshihiro unfortunately passed away.
Was it a coincidence?
There were so many coincidences.
"No, I have to find 'Crouching Bull Spiritual Master'. It's best if I can ask him face to face what's going on with his novel."
Li Yao muttered to himself, and then hesitated a little. He wasn't sure if he was too addicted to the novel.
But when his eyes fell on the barbells in the corner, all his hesitation disappeared.
The barbells were bought by the four people in the dormitory together for fitness. They were very solid big guys, and the total weight of all the barbells was more than 20 kilograms.
But what Li Yao wanted to talk about was not the barbells, but the steel grips — there were two deep handprints on the grips, which were the traces left when he exerted force yesterday.
Even if he was the champion of the strongman competition, could he leave handprints on the grips?
Li Yao walked over, took down a 5 kilogram barbell plate, held it between his hands, and suddenly exerted force. The barbell plate was like a sugar cake, torn open by him.
"Clang!"
Li Yao threw the torn barbell plate aside, looked at his horrible hands, and couldn't calm down for a long time.
Admit it, this is not a power that can be achieved by human beings. With this power, I can never live a normal and peaceful life.
Of course, maybe I don't care about this matter, bury my head in the sand, and deceive myself, and such power and dream will gradually wither, wither, and go away.
But, what exactly was that kind of person?
Li Yao pulled himself together and searched for information about "Crouching Bull Spiritual Master" on the Internet.
In this highly developed information age, it was difficult to completely hide a person's information. Crouching Bull Spiritual Master had his own social media account, and from the search terms and WeChat messages, he could piece together clues about him.
First of all, according to the search terms, Crouching Bull Spiritual Master's original name was "Daniel Zhang". He was from Lishan County under Jiangnan City, and lived in Jiangnan City all year round.
"In the same city as me? Then that's easy! "
Li Yao checked. Lishan County was the most remote mountain county under Jiangnan City, but now that the transportation was so developed, even if the author really hid in his hometown to recuperate, it wouldn't take a day to find him.
Then, he followed the name "Daniel Zhang" and found some of the author's previous novels. Uh, they were all in the same style as the first five hundred chapters of "40,000 Years of Cultivation," which didn't touch him. This also confirmed his feeling that the first five hundred chapters of "40,000 Years of Cultivation" were not written by the same person.
Then, Li Yao entered the "40,000 Years of Cultivation" reader group, "Old Bull Reception Room", according to the top post in the book review section. He pretended to know nothing and asked the readers about the author's situation.
The smell of gunpowder in the readers' group was slightly less intense than in the book review section, but it was only "slightly". Many people were very pessimistic and thought that the book was really going to be scrapped. There were even people who were cursing and venting their dissatisfaction.
However, Li Yao patiently asked and got a few useful pieces of information.
First, three to five days ago, the author had appeared in the group and explained that he was really injured, but some readers didn't believe him and quarreled with the author. In the end, the author said, "It's f * cking unfinished. I'll change my avatar and be a hero again." Since then, he hasn't been online.
Well, at least it meant that the author wasn't in an accident at that time. Uh, he wasn't in a serious accident.
Second, there was the author's WeChat number in the group. Many readers confirmed that it was indeed Crouching Bull Spiritual Master.
However, many readers sent messages to the author, but none of them received a reply. It seemed that this way of contacting the author wouldn't work.
Li Yao opened Crouching Bull Spiritual Master's WeChat profile picture and sent him a message: "Spiritual Master, hello. I'm a loyal fan. Can we talk?"
Sure enough, when night fell, the message disappeared. There was no reply.
Li Yao waited anxiously and contacted Zhao Kai: "Zhao Kai, do you know that '40,000 Years of Cultivation' has stopped updating?"
"I know."
Zhao Kai quickly replied, "It's a web novel. It's normal to stop updating. Read another one. Why, are you still reading in the dorm?"
"No, I'm just casually asking."
Li Yao thought for a while, "You read a lot of web novels. Do you know how to contact the author and have him talk to me?"
"Crazy!"
Zhao Kai seemed to be happy, "You're not a girl. Why would the author want to talk to you? Hey, hey, hey, Li Yao, what are you trying to do? Are you really still cooped up in the dorm and haven't left?"
"Girl?"
Li Yao stared blankly. He tilted his head and thought for a while. The corner of his mouth hooked up into a smile that he didn't even notice. He said, "I have something to do now. I'll tell you later!"
He closed the chat window with Zhao Kai and concentrated on thinking for a long time.
Very good, he remembered that the damn pervert Yu Xin had created a female character's side account when he was playing games last year. In order to deceive people, he had specially applied for a WeChat number that looked like a girl's, with all kinds of pictures, moods, and pictures.
Thus, Li Yao opened Yu Xin's profile picture again.
After much persuasion and humiliation, and at the risk of being mistaken for a kindred spirit by his roommates, he finally got a female version of his WeChat account. After some careful modification, he changed the name to "Little Bunny in the Sea of Stars", and the signature was "Love when you want, leave when you want". He also found some fresh and slightly naughty photos that were slightly sexy and naughty, and added them in.
Taking a deep breath, Li Yao used the name "Little Rabbit in the Sea of Stars" to once again apply to join the "Old Bull Reception Room" and clicked on Crouching Bull's profile picture.
"Hello, Spiritual Master!
