"Give me a peach, and I'll repay you with jade."
Huang Yifan decided to go all in once more.
A true man, a man of passion, when his blood runs hot, this is how he should act.
Even though he had learned his lesson once before, Huang Yifan tossed it to the back of his mind.
Besides, it was only one day. He wouldn't die from it.
After releasing all his saved chapters in one go, Huang Yifan closed TT and began hammering away at the keyboard nonstop.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the screen, when the diehard fans in the White Jade Hall fan group suddenly saw that The Number One White Under Heaven had updated more than a dozen chapters, they were overjoyed. Without a second thought, they immediately dove into the new chapters.
After spending dozens of minutes reading through everything in one sitting, they finally finished.
"That was amazing."
"So satisfying."
"Dropping dozens of chapters during a new book period, I bet only The Number One White Under Heaven would do that at midnight."
"White Boss is insane, respect."
One after another, the readers devoured over ten chapters in a row, feeling an indescribable thrill.
Especially when 'The School Belle's Bodyguard' reached a series of ambiguous, flirtatious scenes, it made the readers howl with excitement.
"I've read tons of these kinds of scenes, but White Boss's are the best."
"This isn't noob-style at all, this is straight-up 'ambiguous-style'."
"Exactly, White Boss must be a veteran in romance to write this many teasing moments."
"What ambiguous-style? This is shameless-style, pervy-style… but I love it."
"Haha, yeah, shameless-style, pervy-style, even no-limits style. Finally, a god-tier novel."
"If I don't reward this book, even heaven would think it's unfair. Abyss Overlord tips The Number One White Under Heaven 100,000 Lingdian coins."
The readers were fired up, constantly posting in the review section and chatting on TT about their thoughts.
But when they reached the very last chapter, suddenly, all these diehard fans froze.
"Give me a quince, and I'll repay you with fine jade. Not as repayment, but as a token of lasting friendship!"
What's going on?
Is White Boss writing poetry again?
"Give me a peach, and I'll repay you with jade. Not as repayment, but as a token of lasting friendship!"
What a line: give me a peach, and I'll repay you with jade.
White Boss, you were born in the wrong era. If you lived in ancient times, you'd definitely be a poetry immortal.
"Give me a plum, and I'll repay you with black jade. Not as repayment, but as a token of lasting friendship!"
White Boss, this poem completely crushes Tang and Song poetry. It feels like some ancient sacred verse, unbelievably classic.
But just as everyone was praising The Number One White Under Heaven's poem, the line below nearly brought countless readers to tears.
Give me a peach, and I'll repay you with jade. Dear readers, you support me with your rewards, and I will repay you with endless updates. Tonight, I'll be coding through the night. I don't know how many chapters I can write, nor how many words. However many words I can write, Whitey will write that many. However many chapters I can write, Whitey will write that many. As long as I still have strength, I'll keep writing all night and let everyone enjoy it to the fullest.
"Coding through the night."
"Holy crap, White Boss, are you trying to kill yourself?"
Almost everyone who read that final message jumped up instinctively.
If it were anyone else, pulling an all-nighter to write would just make readers happy.
But if it was The Number One White Under Heaven, that was absolutely unacceptable.
Yes, absolutely unacceptable.
It wasn't that they didn't want new chapters, nor that they didn't want updates.
Right now, 'The School Belle's Bodyguard' had reached the most critical point of its ambiguous plot, and they wished they could binge a hundred chapters at once.
But seeing that final message, they started to panic.
"White Boss, are you trying to die again?"
"White Boss, if you die, what are we supposed to read?"
"White Boss, stop right now. We don't want your mass updates, we don't want you pulling an all-nighter."
"White Boss, do you hear us?"
The frantic readers immediately rushed into the White Jade Hall fan group.
"Guys, this is bad. White Boss is at it again. He's about to pull another all-nighter writing."
"What's the big deal? It's just one all-nighter, he won't die."
The moment that sentence was said, the fan suddenly shouted, "Wait, what did you say? White Boss is pulling an all-nighter? Damn it, is he seriously trying to kill himself again? He didn't die last time, and now he's going for round two?"
"No way, we have to stop him."
"Let's go to the review section and leave messages telling him not to pull an all-nighter. It's too damaging to his health. Last time he wrote for ten days and nights straight, who knows if he's even recovered. Now he's doing this again. Even if he can handle it, we can't."
"Exactly. We don't want 'The School Belle's Bodyguard' to get abandoned halfway. I'm going to post."
"Me too."
But half an hour later, even though hundreds of posts had been made in the review section, there was no response at all.
"White Boss is probably writing, no reaction."
"Then let's message him on TT."
"Useless. I already tried. He probably turned off TT. He's not replying."
"Damn it, this guy, this guy…"
The diehard fans were so anxious they were almost in tears.
"What do we do? Think of something. Does anyone know how to contact White Boss?"
Everyone in the group replied, saying they couldn't reach him.
"He only uses TT normally, doesn't really use anything else."
"Wait, we can go to the Feilong forum. I heard White Boss browses there. Let's make posts on Feilong and try to find someone who knows his contact info."
"Good idea, let's go to Feilong."
"And we can also ask in other author groups, see if any writers know his phone number."
"OK, I'll handle that."
"Also, the Lingdian editorial department should have his contact info. I'll call and ask."
"Alright, then let's split up. Some go to Feilong, some go to author groups, and others call Lingdian editors. The rest keep posting in the review section and messaging him until he responds."
No one organized it, no one led the charge, but every diehard fan in the group, from the bottom of their hearts, wanted to find Xiaobai.
They only wanted to tell him one thing: don't pull an all-nighter. As your fans, we understand your intentions.
But unfortunately, they had no way to deliver that message to The Number One White Under Heaven.
So these readers began doing everything they could to track him down.
Thus, the three thousand disciples of White Jade Hall went into full-blown chaos.
Within minutes, anyone paying attention could see dozens of posts suddenly appear on the Feilong forum, all searching for The Number One White Under Heaven.
"Fellow authors, I'm a fan of The Number One White Under Heaven. Does anyone know him? If you do, could you share his contact info?"
"Dear authors, who knows The Number One White Under Heaven? Please help us pass along a message telling him not to pull an all-nighter, okay?"
"We're begging you, even if you don't give us his number, just pass along one sentence for us, that's enough."
A few minutes later, across hundreds of web novel author groups in Huaguo, people started asking around.
"Sorry to bother you, does anyone have The Number One White Under Heaven's phone number? We need to reach him urgently."
"Sorry, I'm a fan of The Number One White Under Heaven. Does anyone here know him? If so, could you help pass along a message: if he keeps pulling all-nighters, we'll stop reading his books forever."
"Master Jiudao Guang, didn't you write a review for The Number One White Under Heaven? You must know him, right? Please help us find him. He's writing through the night right now, and all of us readers are worried about him… worried about his health, worried he won't be able to handle it…"
"Oh mighty authors, does anyone have The Number One White Under Heaven's contact info? We're begging you."
A few minutes later, in the Lingdian editorial office's night duty room, a phone suddenly rang in the dead of night.
"Hello, editor, hi…"
No one knew that in the quiet of the night, a massive search for "The Number One White Under Heaven" had just begun.
