68 Panicking Leader

Anyway, Zhou Lei threw his problems aside and asked System, "Then... can I get a refund?

After that, however, System returned to its usual monotone voice, responding to Zhou Lei's question with "You can disable the pack."

"Ah... eh, what happened to your expressive voice?" Zhou Lei was quite disappointed by System's denial, but what surprised him more was the downgrade.

He had expected that it would stay for a very long time, but it went and disappeared just like that. It was no wonder that Zhou Lei was confused.

System didn't respond to the question. It just stayed quiet while Zhou Lei anticipated its answer.

"Ah... as expected." Zhou Lei gave up trying to force an answer out of System. Instead, he focused on the matter at hand.

His classmates still had large anime eyes, and it disturbed Zhou Lei very much. He immediately said, "System, disable the Anime Pack."

Zhou Lei turned to look around him and saw that the hearts on his classmates' eyes were now gone. Aside from the fact that they were all staring at him, things turned relatively normal.

"Phew. Things were resolved just like that. I had expected that a bug would come or something..." Zhou Lei was relieved as System didn't bug out this time.

Meanwhile, Wen Hui had finally come up with an excuse.

She looked behind her and saw Zhou Lei putting his hands on her shoulders, twisting her whole body around. When she was looking at the desk, Zhou Lei started pushing her towards it.

When they made it, Zhou Lei removed his hands, walked back to his seat, and sat down.

"Erm... okay?" Wen Hui did not expect him to not care at all about their appointment later that night. It was as if... he had already forgotten about it.

If that is the case, then it would be wonderful!

Thinking that, Wen Hui called for her students' attention and started her lesson.

.....

Meanwhile, the fellows in the Webnovel office were all panicking.

"Agh, it's been a whole day since we sent that email... Why hasn't he responded yet?!" The leader of the team was worried.

The rankings had changed drastically since Zhou Lei posted his own novel.

In only one day, he had pushed every other novel down by one notch, his novel taking the top spot, and all this with only one chapter out!

Zhou Lei had scheduled the other 19 chapters to release twice a day, so chapters 2 and 3 were also out.

Within one minute, the comments on both reached 99+, and the views of the novel also reached 2 million!

With a novel as successful as this, they would be idiots if they didn't take this chance!

What they didn't know was that Zhou Lei was just a student, and he did not check his email often. He only checked it when some account needed verification...

However, the team hadn't taken this into thought, considering their panicked state.

They thought that, since the conditions on the contract were not pleasing enough, the author didn't even bother replying!

"Then, uhh... give him better conditions!" The leader commanded.

"Yes, sir!" The employee that was handling this stuff felt the burden of shouldering one of the most successful novels on their platform...

"Say that he doesn't need to meet the quota as long as he keeps the quality up!" The leader hurriedly added. "And also that he gets 50% of the share... no, 70%!"

"Yes, sir- wait, what?!" The employee couldn't help but be flabbergasted at the leniency of his leader. Usually, this leader of theirs was very strict with the conditions, so much so that he would terminate the contract and make the author compensate for their loss as soon as he missed one quota!

"Hurry! Else he might discover the gold of his novel and give it to some other site!"

"Y- yes!"
