The next day.
The Lucky Medal’s countdown duration: Still 32 hours to go.
…
At the studio.
A lot of reports were coming in.
“Director Zhang, we’ve sold 10.8 million copies!”
“Good, very good.”
“Director Zhang, we’ve been contacted by someone from Portugal!”
“Director Zhang, a Korean publishing house has also contacted us!”
“Director Zhang, several translators from Japan have approached us for an opportunity to cooperate on the novel.”
“They’re looking to translate Gone with the Wind?”
“Yes.”
“Let them do it.”
“Great! In that case, it shouldn’t be long before the translated versions of your novel are sold all over the world. I’ll go and hold talks with them.”
…
On the news.
The multilingual editions of Gone with the Wind were announced, and they would gradually be making their way into the markets.
A storm called Gone with the Wind swept across the globe.
The characters in the novel.
The plot.
The symbolism in the book.
They were all broken down and thoroughly analyzed.
All of a sudden, it spread throughout the world!
When a novel gets extremely popular, the impact it has can also be astonishing!
…
North America.
Many black people came out onto the streets.
A lot of white people also joined in the protest.
“Abolish the Exclusion Act!”
“We demand equality!”
“Reject racial discrimination!”
The appearance of Gone with the Wind had turned the pages of history to its darkest times!
Numerous people were holding up the novel Gone with the Wind and protesting against the last remaining bill from years ago!
…
Russia.
Many citizens were out on the streets.
“Say no to war!”
“Halt the use of military force!”
“We want peace!”
“Open the peace talks!”
More and more people were joining in the protests as the crowd size exploded.
They were holding up signs with quotes taken from Gone with the Wind as their protest slogans.
…
India.
Countless women launched their protests.
“Please respect women!”
“Reject discrimination!”
“We want equality!”
“We want respect!”
“We want freedom!”
“Bring all criminals who humiliate women to justice!”
…
Bangalore’s team.
They also saw the crowds protesting in the streets.
“Damn!”
“Why is it like this?”
“This book’s influence is too massive!”
“Has the Chinese writer really become our competitor?”
“How’s Embers of Humanity’s sales doing?”
“Gone with the Wind has left it in the dust!”
…
Within the Japanese writers’ circle.
“What?”
“It’s sold over 10 million copies?”
“How is that possible!”
“What sorcery is this!”
“Does he really intend to charge towards the Nobel Prize in Literature?”
“Only the old masterpiece novels have had such influence. How did Gone with the Wind also do it?”
“Several literary giants have also released their new books during this period, but his sales volume still exceeded theirs by more than ten times!”
“This is too terrifying!”
However, they did not know that something even more terrifying still laid ahead.
…
Russia.
In the Presidential Senate 1 .
“Mr. President, the citizens are marching to protest us going to war.”
“Alright, I understand.”
“The Western troops have begun to mobilize, and the military is on standby.”
“Understood. You may return.”
“But—”
“Go back.”
“Yes.”
The door closed with a gust of wind.
The wind flipped open a book that was lying on the president’s desk.
The president walked over and picked up the book with curiosity.
Gone with the Wind?
He sat down and began reading it quietly.
…
On the same night.
At the studio.
The staff had already left the office, but Zhang Ye remained behind. He called Old Wu to inform her that he would not be going home tonight. Then he started browsing the Internet in his office and looked around online. He checked out the reviews of Gone with the Wind from everywhere in the world and the impact that his novel had on the people.
Tick tock.
Tick tock.
Time slowly ticked away.
Zhang Ye was still hoping for something much bigger to happen.
Because he knew that the duration of the Lucky Medal was still not over.
An hour.
Two hours.
On the rankings, the sales of Gone with the Wind kept setting new records.
In the end, it even charged into the International Top 50 Best-selling Novels chart!
This was the overall rankings chart that tracked the global sales figures of novels. They were the top 50 best-selling books in the world! Gone with the Wind had already broken records and been hailed as the best-selling full-length novel in a decade. But no one would have expected that Gone with the Wind could actually get onto the International Top 50 Best-selling Novels chart in such a short period of time!
It entered the charts at 48th place!
What did that mean?
Of the 50 books on it, every one of them had a history of 10 or more years. Some of the books had even been selling for over 20 to 30 years, or even 50 years. The novels on this best-seller chart had several decades of sales before they appeared on it. Some of the original authors were not even alive anymore, with some of the book’s sales figures extremely large in the tens to hundreds of millions of copies. But how long had they been published? How many years did it take for them to get such results? But for Gone with the Wind? It had only taken it less than a month to get there!
11 million copies!
11.5 million copies!
Gone with the Wind’s ranking was still increasing! With its momentum, when all of the various language editions were sold in countries around the world, it shouldn’t be much of a problem for it to squeeze into the international top 20!
The top 20?
Every novel at those rankings were masterpieces of the world!
Zhang Ye was very happy to see this. Then he dozed off.
The next day.
Early in the morning.
Sunrays shone in as dawn broke.
A noise from downstairs woke Zhang Ye up. He opened his eyes and yawned several times before realizing he had fallen asleep in the office in his chair.
The door suddenly opened.
Little Wang came in, screaming, “Ah, Director Zhang!”
Zhang Ye smiled and said, “What? Are you trying to frighten me to death?”
Little Wang shouted, “You didn’t go home last night?”
“No, I didn’t.” Zhang Ye stretched.
Many of the others also rushed into the office.
Tong Fu shouted, “Something major has happened! Director Zhang! Something major has happened!”
Zhang Ye was startled. “What happened?”
Zhang Zuo also came upstairs. “Q-Quickly check the news!”
Ha Qiqi came up shortly after. “Gone with the Wind has made waves again!”
Zhang Ye hurriedly asked, “What is it?”
Ha Qiqi said in shock, “It’s major international news! Russia has withdrawn its army from neighboring countries! They’ve started to engage in peace talks! They’ve formed several negotiation groups and sent them to the neighboring countries!”
Zhang Ye was stunned. “What? They aren’t going to war anymore?”
Tong Fu cried out, “There won’t be any more fighting!” There won’t be any more fighting!”
Zhang Ye said, “What’s that got to do with us?”
Zhang Zuo said loudly, “In his speech at the press conference, the Russian president mentioned Gone with the Wind. He said that he had a sleepless night and read the book all night. From it, he saw how great an impact war had on the people. So he decided to respect the opinion of the public and turned to diplomatic means to resolve the conflict!”
Zhang Ye stared at her in shock. “Impossible!”
Ha Qiqi said happily, “He was really influenced by your novel!”
Zhang Ye’s eyes widened. “Are there any anti-war sentiments in Gone with the Wind?”
Little Wang was aghast. “You don’t even know what’s in your own book?”
Zhang Ye said, “He decided not to go to war after reading my book? Oh come on, don’t joke!”
“It’s true! Go and see for yourself!” Little Wang said.
Zhang Ye’s computer was still on. He moved the mouse and the screen came on. Then he checked the news, and his jaw dropped!
Damn!
It’s true!
Immediately after that, Wu Yi also ran up.
“Something has happened again! Where’s everyone? Where’s everyone?” Wu Yi shouted.
Ha Qiqi shouted at the staircase, “Over here!”
The moment Wu Yi came upstairs, he said something astonishing. “America has repealed that bill!”
Zhang Ye said, “Huh?”
Ha Qiqi was stunned. “Which bill?”
Wu Yi said, “The news was just announced a minute ago. That last remaining Exclusion Act has been repealed in part due to the protests of the citizens. The repeal was announced after Congress passed it, and countless black and white Americans have gone onto the streets to celebrate!”
Zhang Ye said, “Has that got anything to do with us?”
Zhang Zuo was also very excited. “Of course it has. The citizens only started protesting due to the influence of Gone with the Wind! But actually, this bill was already in discussions to be repealed in America. It was only a matter of time before they did it. However, our novel was definitely a catalyst for it to be repealed at this time, so of course it’s to our credit!”
Ha Qiqi yelled, “This is the Heavens aiding us!”
Little Wang shouted, “The Heavens are on our side!”
Tong Fu said, “Gone with the Wind will surely rise to another level!”
Zhang Zuo belly laughed. “What do you mean rise to another level? It’s probably gonna sell like crazy now!”
Only Zhang Ye was still somewhat unable to believe it.
…
Russia.
The cheering crowd took to the streets.
“There won’t be a war anymore!”
“This is great!”
“Supporting the peace talks!”
“Supporting the use of diplomatic negotiations!”
…
America.
“The bill has been repealed!”
“Whooooo!”
“Let’s celebrate, bros!”
“Victory is ours!”
“This is the most glorious moment in American history!”
“Long live equality!”
…
China.
On Weibo.
“I’m gonna faint!”
“The Russian president read Zhang Ye’s book?”
“And he even decided to hold peace talks because of it?”
“The bill that America has been dragging on has also been repealed?”
“Fuck! It’s so awesome!”
“For the first time, a novel from our country has had a great impact on the world!”
“Pfft, why do I think it’s only a coincidence!”
“Hahaha, I think so too. In fact, the Russians might not have even wanted to go to war. Why else did they drag it out for so long? It was only a coincidence that the president read Zhang Ye’s book yesterday and a coincidence that they announced the peace talks today. That was the only reason why Gone with the Wind was quoted by the Russian president! It’s the same thing in America as well. The bill was already slated to be repealed anyway, except that the date hadn’t been confirmed yet. In the end, with the popularity of Gone with the Wind, as well as the American citizens protesting, the government saw a chance to bring forward the decision and repeal the bill. Pfft, Face-smacking Zhang’s luck is so good!”
“He has always been quite lucky.”
“Yeah, he’s really become famous internationally this time!”
“He’s probably closed in on the Nobel Prize in Literature by yet another step!”
…
At the studio.
Videos.
Press conferences.
Interviews.
News articles.
Zhang Ye was browsing through the news and getting shocked by everything that he was seeing!
Damn!
It can even be done this way?
Isn’t this as good as a free lunch?
To think that something like this could have happened the moment this bro woke up!
But thinking about it, he also began to understand. How was this a free lunch? It was all the credit of the Lucky Medal. He lowered his head to look at the effective duration left on the item.
Three.
Two.
One.
