ICTEUWMN Chapter 115.2

Within just ten minutes, what had initially been a fan dispute on the star network gradually spread across both the novel and screenwriting circles.

Many of Yu Mian’s long-time acquaintances on both sides couldn’t help but come forward .

Ever since the exchange meeting, Quint and a group of screenwriters had developed an extremely high level of goodwill toward Yu Mian.

When they saw book fans claiming that Fish Soup Noodles was only trying out screenwriting as an experiment, these screenwriters, who didn’t understand the jealousy behind such comments, naturally took it as a denial of Yu Mian’s professionalism.

[Quint: Based on my communication and personal interactions with Teacher Fish Soup Noodles, I can say that he is very passionate and enthusiastic about screenwriting. For his first-time crossover into screenwriting, he was able to produce something as outstanding as “Bei Xing’s Necklace” which proves his talent. It would be a huge loss if such potential were wasted rather than further cultivated in the field.]

Quint had once been somewhat arrogant, but after exchanging ideas with Yu Mian about the new script’s framework, he had developed a deep sense of mutual respect and admiration.

So, as soon as the dispute erupted, Quint was the first to publicly state his position on Starblog, and many young screenwriters couldn’t resist reposting and echoing his sentiments.

[Exactly! And the impact of “Bei Xing’s Necklace” has been huge. It’s made many screenwriters reconsider how they shape characters and structure plots. Maybe outsiders don’t fully grasp how groundbreaking this is?]

[If Teacher Fish Soup Noodles could create such vivid and lovable characters like those in “Bei Xing’s Necklace,” then it’s clear how much effort and dedication went into it. Wonderful and magical stories coupled with gorgeous and stunning visuals, screenwriting is obviously the best avenue for Teacher Fish Soup Noodles’ talents.]

These passionate statements from industry professionals surprised many TV show fans.

Fish Soup Noodles had only written one script, yet he was already on such good terms with veteran screenwriters?

What did that mean? It meant Fish Soup Noodles was born to be a screenwriter!

However, as soon as Quint and the others voiced their opinions, many novel authors who had been holding back naturally became dissatisfied.

[Stellar Medal: Huh? Wait a minute. Are you telling me that Teacher Fish Soup Noodles’ first novel didn’t have as much of an impact as this animation? You mean to say you all had no idea how the entire star network was chasing his updates back then?]

Especially Omirs, also known as “Stellar Medal”, a former space pirate with a notoriously straightforward and fiery temper. Seeing all these screenwriters and TV show fans confidently declaring that Fish Soup Noodles should go all-in on screenwriting left him baffled.

He immediately started digging up old records, listing all the times Fish Soup Noodles’ novels had caused massive update-chasing frenzies.

[Tu Ji: And aren’t all of the characters in Teacher Fish Soup Noodles’ books already very distinct? Look at our God Of Cooking Boss Lu Zhen in the still ongoing book, the kind and adorable Da Xi, the cool and powerful Gredo, the beautiful Pei Yan who bravely restarted his life, and the black-bellied wolf dog younger brother Pei Shen. Every single one has a dedicated fanbase…]

After all, Yu Mian never repeated himself when it came to themes.

Every new book brought readers a fresh and exciting experience, and once it was completed, it often sparked new trends in the literary world.

With so many successful novels under his belt, you guys actually want to kidnap him with just one “Bei Xing’s Necklace”?

The rapid-fire exchanges between both sides soon turned into an all-out battlefield.

And in the middle of it all, the dual-fandom fans suffered the most, they were getting pulled in both directions and were completely confused about which side to support.

Eventually, emotions boiled over, and everyone started @-ing Fish Soup Noodles to step in and settle the matter.

So when Yu Mian opened Starblog, he found his notifications practically exploding, as if countless people were shaking him frantically: “Teacher Fish Soup Noodles, say something!”

[Fish is dizzy.jpg]

For some reason, it was a truly indescribable feeling.

[A Bowl of Fish Soup Noodles: Um… Everyone, please calm down. Tonight, there will be a three-chapter update of “God of Cooking,” plus a make-up live broadcast for the previously missed session. Consider it a Q&A session for recent events. I’ll also be giving away 1,000 packs of seaweed snacks. I have to get back to writing now, see you all tonight (^-^)]

Honestly, if Yu Mian were to say it himself, “God of Cooking” only had a few more major food story arcs left before it would naturally reach its conclusion.

But who could have predicted that “Bei Xing’s Necklace” would be so highly regarded? Director Lin Ke and the animation team had worked around the clock to rush production, and somehow, it had already aired this quickly.

Was this fate at play?

However, while the fans were thrilled that Fish Soup Noodles had finally spoken up, his attempt to smooth things over with a blatant bribe didn’t sit well with either side.

At this moment, fans felt both love and resentment toward their dear Fish Soup Noodles.

[We want the extra updates, we want the live broadcast, and we want an explanation! If you don’t clear this up properly, we won’t forgive you so easily! (slams table)]

[This is a crisis! Teacher Fish Soup Noodles, look at them bullying us TAT! The key is that if you hadn’t gone wandering around, how could they have come knocking at our door!]

[Teacher, why can’t “Bei Xing’s Necklace” air more episodes tonight? Can you talk to Lightyear about it? We really want to see the next pair of twin solar term spirits!]

The speed at which the comments under Yu Mian’s StarBlog increased dramatically was enough to amaze many celebrities in the universe.

Meanwhile, Madam Delia was in her villa, sipping black tea while admiring a gemstone necklace she had planned to gift to her “little daughter”.

But after seeing the news exploding across the star network, Delia found herself in a rare shock.

Not only was her beloved character not the screenwriter’s “little daughter”, but the writer turned out to be a young novelist instead?

“Delia, it seems that necklace of yours won’t be given away after all.”

Nearby, Granny Delanchi, who had been watching the whole spectacle unfold, couldn’t stop laughing.

Granny Delanchi had originally come back to the Federation Star to retrieve the jewelry she had ordered from Delia last time.

For dragons, regularly purchasing large quantities of jewelry was an essential part of life.

However, she hadn’t expected to witness the day when the always proud and aloof Delia completely stumbled.

The most crucial part…

“I really like this author’s books. Do you want to take a look too? Especially the romance novels, they’re quite good.”

As a devoted book fan, Granny Delanchi enthusiastically shared her full collection of A Bowl of Fish Soup Noodles’ romance stories with TV shows fan Delia.

For a moment, Delia hesitated, unsure if she should accept them or not.

Meanwhile, Xiao Mi inexplicably meowed a few times at the light brain where the live broadcast had started. It still recognized Yu Mian’s voice and its tail wagged repeatedly.

Clearly, it hadn’t forgotten Yu Mian.

Sure enough, after the latest thrilling episode of “Bei Xing’s Necklace” aired that night, “God of Cooking” followed up with a three-chapter update just as Fish Soup Noodles had promised.

Only after both waves of fans had feasted on this pile of sugar-coated bullets did Yu Mian finally turn on his camera for the live broadcast.

At least this way, things might calm down a little, right?

“Good evening, everyone! Have you all had dinner? Did you catch tonight’s animation and novel updates?”

Yu Mian waved at the camera, his familiar voice instantly filling the live broadcast room.

This time, there was a clear trace of sheepishness and guilt in his tone, as he obviously knew that tonight’s live broadcast would be a storm of interrogation.

Everyone in the barrage who was originally set on catching Fish Soup Noodles for a harsh interrogation, inexplicably softened a little when they saw Yu Mian appear on camera after a long time.

[Damn it, he just said “Good evening” and I actually want to forgive him? No! Not this time! We agreed to stay united, no traitors allowed!]

But this time, the fans were more united and determined than ever before.

[Exactly! I want to see how Teacher Fish Soup Noodles plans to worm his way out of this one O皿O]

[+1, I can’t even imagine how many things he’s been hiding from us. He better come clean today!]

Clearly, they weren’t going to let Yu Mian get away with simple bribes this time.

Faced with their relentless stance, Yu Mian felt an impending headache. He pretended not to see these comments, chuckling helplessly as he focused on adjusting the unfamiliar broadcasting equipment for today while explaining.

“First off, I need to tell everyone in advance, I won’t be able to cook during this live broadcast since I’m not at home. Instead, how about I show you some scenery? Then we’ll go over some recent questions, ahem.”

Since he hadn’t returned to the old residence and was still by Starry Sky Lake, he had to make do with the rear camera of his light brain for the live broadcast.

Setting it up was more troublesome than expected.

“As for this whole situation… The reason I didn’t use my usual pen name while writing the script was that I was worried the pen name ‘Fish Soup Noodles’ might cause complications. So, I temporarily came up with a new pen name instead…”

Yu Mian rambled on while holding up the light brain, intending to show the audience the lake outside through the camera.

However, after finishing his explanation, he noticed something was off with the reaction in the barrage.

The comments had suddenly exploded, so dense they covered the screen in an unreadable wall of text.

Frowning slightly, Yu Mian leaned closer to adjust the barrage settings.

As a result, the moment the new settings took effect, the first comment he saw made him freeze.

[Teacher, y-you…your camera wasn’t reversed… QAQ]

Yu Mian: …?!!

[Help, why do I suddenly feel happy about being scumbagged? Don’t come any closer, I can’t handle this impact.]

[Sorry, everyone. I’m turning traitor first. I can’t resist this beauty trap. He’s apologizing to me. He’s personally coaxing me! (sobbing uncontrollably)]

I didn’t expect You Mian to fumble like this and expose himself, I’m dying!

Readers of “Rebirth Of The Interstellar Soldier King” starving in the corner: We shall remain understanding and considerate.

Ahem, okay I really didn’t plan to end here or miss yesterday’s update, but because I’m a single dog, my nephews were thrown to me as their parents went off to have fun…it’s really impossible to do anything with them around (⁠｡⁠ŏ⁠﹏⁠ŏ⁠)… someone help!

Anyway, Happy Valentine’s Day to all the love birds, see you on Monday! (⁠ ⁠◜⁠‿⁠◝⁠ ⁠)⁠♡
