Evolutionary Superstar

Chapter 72: Goodbye Jinhai

Lin Haoren dragged his silver suitcase outside Hongxing Apartment with Oreo and caught a ride to Jinhai Airport.

Caught in peak traffic, he was delayed by an hour.

However, he still managed to board the plane on time after going through the simple check-in.

Domestic flights were much simpler than international flights. No customs were required.

"First-class seats are certainly different," Lin Haoren commented as he explored the benefits of a first-class seat.

The comfort was certainly guaranteed.

Since he didn’t pay for it, he had to enjoy its service fully. It might be the only time he would ever fly first class.

After all, first-class tickets were too expensive. His heart would definitely bleed, even if he had money. It was simply too extravagant.

Its excellent services don’t justify such prices.

Lin Haoren didn’t know this yet, but he was wrong—very wrong. Once he flew first class, he would never go back to economy.

Why would anyone purposely torture themselves when they could comfortably afford better options?

"Goodbye, Jinhai," Lin Haoren uttered, seeing the distant city grow smaller through the cabin window.

He had spent so many years in Jinhai City that it felt like he was flying for the first time.

When was the last time he actually flew on a plane?

Lin Haoren couldn’t exactly remember. Maybe he never actually flew before.

That said, he had underestimated A Home For Paws Production Team’s generosity and consideration. They actually picked an airline that allowed pets in the cabin.

Although Oreo wasn’t allowed to leave the pet backpack, it was still better than sitting in cargo.

Even if the airline had an excellent reputation and service, he could never entrust Oreo’s care to the hands of strangers.

This was especially so when Oreo had already garnered so much fame from his short videos on QuickBeat and Galaxy Video.

Many people adored him, and unscrupulous, greedy people could have ideas.

"Let me out!" Oreo demanded in meow meow language.

Lin Haoren immediately refused his request since it wasn’t possible without dealing with the unfavorable consequences.

"Just put up with it, Oreo. It’ll only be a couple of hours."

"A couple of hours?! How can I be confined to such a tiny space for so long? Are you trying to suffocate me, Human?"

"Be good, and I’ll give you treats," Lin Haoren promised.

Oreo scowled, "Trying to win me over with food? No way! At least, you have to double the treats!"

"Deal!" Lin Haoren readily agreed.

Oreo was stunned on the spot, not expecting his demand to be accepted so readily. He couldn’t help but feel like he had asked for too little and lost out big time.

Nevertheless, Oreo quickly forgot everything once he saw the treats.

After appeasing Oreo, Lin Haoren continued to stare out the cabin window, lost in thought. In the past, he would have even dreamed of flying first class.

Yet now, first class might become a regular treatment as long as his fame and value continue to soar.

Before Lin Haoren knew it, he had already broken out of the cocoon and become a butterfly. Now, it was just a matter of how high and far he could fly.

Even if the system were to suddenly disappear on him, he believed he would still be able to keep moving forward on his own because he was no longer drowning.

He could stand on his own feet now, and the ground beneath him was solid enough.

After adjusting his mental state, Lin Haoren flipped open his Xingchen laptop and entered work mode.

At the same time, Lumi’s cute AI character appeared in one corner of the screen, ever ready to offer her assistance.

For this 2-hour flight to Beiyang City, Lin Haoren decided to dedicate his remaining time to updating Birth of the Demonic Saint.

By now, the new novel had already soared to over 8,000 collections in such a short time. The comments numbered in the dozens to hundreds per Chapter.

The backend data also showed an extremely high retention rate.

This showed the novel was performing exceedingly well. Its popularity was undeniable, backed by the readers’ high enthusiasm.

With such a strong starting momentum, it was just a matter of time before the novel entered the top rankings of Origin Literature.

Of course, numbers were ultimately numbers; the actual comments were quite something else.

[Author, come out! show yourself! I promise I won’t beat you up! These cliffhangers are killing me!]

[Dog Author, I hate you! Hurry up and update the next Chapter!! Why does every Chapter have to end in a cliffhanger?! What do you mean by doing this?!]

[Anyone know where the Author lives? Asking for a friend.]

[Upstairs, you just want to lock the Author in a basement to work like a slave and update the novel faster, right?]

[Author, I just want to ask: Who hurt you? Please let our boy get some rest. Our boy hasn’t gotten a moment of peace. Even if he is not tired, I am! Stop torturing our boy!]

Lin Haoren read some of the comments and smiled wryly at the readers’ enthusiasm.

Although some of their words were crude, they were all good readers. At the very least, it showed that they all enjoyed the novel.

Of course, he was also aware that everyone had different interests.

It was impossible for his novel to be liked by everyone.

Lin Haoren just wasn’t sure if he would still get personal insults and death threats from the toxic group as he did in his previous novel.

He couldn’t imagine what it was like for those other authors who wrote like snails and still got bashed online for their work.

Maybe they were in the wrong profession to begin with.

However, who had the right to discourage them from pursuing their dreams?

Wasn’t he the same with acting?

Lin Haoren pumped out 15,000 words, but only updated 5,000 words at once. He kept the remaining words as stock.

Peasants, come and beg your king for food.

When the readers saw such an Author’s Note, they started flaming Lin Haoren in the comments.

[Damn Author, hand over the stockpile Chapters right now!]

[Damn Author, leaving us on cliffhangers and holding stockpile Chapters hostage. You’d better hope I don’t run into you in real life!]

[Dog Author! If you don’t release your stockpile Chapters, I’ll come find you through the internet!]
