The student stared at his phone in disbelief. Was this a dream, or not?
Was there really 215 new chapters to his favorite read?
His hand trembled as it struggled to hold onto the phone. His excitement went through the roof! An uncontrollable smile appeared across his face.
The teacher noticed that the student was still using his phone, and was not paying attention to her at all. She got slightly irritated.
Walking up to him, she suddenly swiped the phone from the student's hands. The student snapped out of his daze and turned his head to look at the one who grabbed his phone.
"Oh... hi, teacher..." The student awkwardly greeted the teacher as he turned his gaze away from her.
'What's so important that you don't listen...?' The teacher was confused. This student was the most diligent of all of her students. He was always at the top of his class, acing tests, performances, and everything else. So why wasn't he listening to me?
She looked at the phone and read the notification.
"Conqueror of the Realms released 215 new chapters".
"Uh, miss?" The student couldn't wait to get his phone back.
"Oh! Ah, yes, here..." The teacher returned the student's phone and took out her own phone. There, she saw the same notification.
"Ahem. Class, I will be busy now, please attend to whatever you want to do." The teacher ignored her class afterward as she sat on her chair and opened the Webnovel app.
The students were confused.
There were two people using the phone right now.
One was the best student in the school, and the other was the strictest teacher. How come they were using their phones?
All of them opened theirs and were greeted with the same notification as the two.
"Ah... I get it." They all collectively nodded their heads as they opened the Webnovel app on their phones and started reading.
.....
In another classroom, the same thing was happening.
All of them were invested in the story, ignoring everyone else.
When they read a scene that particularly evoked an emotion, they would all react simultaneously, whether it be happy, shocking, or disgusting.
"Oh, damn! He killed him! F**k."
"Hahaha! What the heck is happening now?"
"No! Why did you do that?"
"What? Really? F**k, didn't see that coming."
.....
One particular class was reading as well. However, it was the teacher reading it out loud for the students.
The teacher was gratified. This was his first class in which no one slept or ignored him while he was speaking!
When the teacher got tired, he said, "Who would like to continue reading?"
All of his students raised their hands.
One by one, every class in every school was being disrupted by this wonderful novel.
.....
MegaHard Inc.
The CEO, Bill Gatekeeper, and the company's shareholders were holding a meeting to stop the stock price from falling.
Until suddenly, his phone rang. It was a notification from Webnovel.
In a similar fashion, the shareholders' phones also received the notification.
All of them shut up for a second and looked at their phones to check.
Minutes later, they were all reading. No one paid attention to anything.
The investors all sold their stocks, and MegaHard Inc.'s stock price fell!
.....
Goggle Inc.
The workers there also received the notification from Webnovel.com. As soon as they did, they abandoned their jobs and started reading.
When a page crashed, no one paid attention.
When an error occurred, no one paid attention.
When a computer in their office exploded, no one paid attention.
All of their eyes were glued to their phones, reading "Conqueror of the Realms".
.....
In Rusha.
They were preparing for a war against the Thanksgiving Chicken Country, or the TCC for short.
Vladimir Putout got a notification on his phone. "Ooh, new chapter for "Conqueror of Realms". Should go read this or no? Of course, should."
His secretary informed him, "But sir, preparations for war, already in completion."
"Bah, war? No one in caring right now. There 200 new chapter of "Conqueror of Realms"."
As soon as the secretary heard that, he also took his phone out and started reading!
United States of Matter, or the USM for short.
President Donald Duck tweeted out.
"You know, I love webnovels. Love 'em. Always have. And Conqueror of the Realms? The best. Unbeatable. You can't find a better one. Other webnovels? Not good. Look at Crooked Beverly Hillary's webnovel. Full of lies. No meat. Can't trust it. Sad!"
