Luchen sat in front of his computer and clicked on the author's frequently visited website: Qidian. 'Wow, you Earthlings are really powerful, aren't you? Are these things real or fake?' Luchen looked at those fantasy novels, his face filled with shock. Guningyu casually sat next to him and said, 'You twisted Alien beings really lack culture. Even my little Fei from kindergarten knows that those things are imagined by humans.' Unconvinced, Luchen directly used the author's ID number to create a new novel and wrote solemnly in the synopsis, 'Telling the story of our alien beings.' The author shouted, 'Hey, who's that stranger? Someone stole my computer and hacked my account. Please come quickly...' The moderator, Jingtashushu, said, '...Yao Yaling can't save you. Please dial Yao Ai Ling, scan your brain CT for no problem, and contact the local psychiatric hospital directly afterward.'
