"First Ruins" has indeed gone viral. The whole internet is buzzing. Because of the high quality of the work, it can withstand praise, and it is an extraordinary piece by a newcomer. In no time, countless bystanders turned into fans, and support for UU only keeps increasing. On the contrary, because Zero has been on the pedestal for too long, many people want to bring him down. Now, taking this opportunity, many people have jumped out to denounce him, whether the evidence is solid or not, blindly claiming that "Base No. 9" is plagiarized. At this moment, the debate is spreading from within the circle to outside, and even internet users who don’t read comics are aware of these two works. Ever since deciding to "ride this wave of popularity," Sophie Scott hasn’t slept all night, continuously monitoring online comments, watching as the situation gradually turns in her favor. [UU, we support you, don’t let them defeat you!] [Focus on drawing your comics, justice will surely come! We have your back!] [Go UU, we’re cheering for you too.] Encouragement is increasing. Criticism of Zero is also on the rise. [If Zero did it on purpose, that’s just bullying.] [I don’t understand why Zero has it out for UU, just because a new voice threatens his position due to a similar topic?] [The aloof persona is about to crumble, isn’t it?] At the same time, the data for "First Ruins" on CC Comics is also climbing steeply. Ever since Zero recommended "Eternal Sleep," its data has always overshadowed "First Ruins." Later, Zero’s "Base No. 9" debuted on CC Comics, making "Base No. 9" unquestionably number one, so "First Ruins" fell to third place. On this night, "First Ruins" surpassed "Eternal Sleep" within two hours, then raced forward to catch up with "Base No. 9," starting a fierce competition. At dawn, the two works, in all metrics, were far ahead of the third-placed "Eternal Sleep," with others left in the dust. Outside the platform, the acclaim for "First Ruins" was continuous, making it a hot topic on major forum websites. Sophie Scott breathed a sigh of relief, her smile blossoming. The door was knocked. "Sis, are you awake?" Oliver’s voice came from outside the door. Having stayed up all night, Sophie Scott was full of energy at this moment. Hearing the sound outside, she jumped out of bed, slipped into her slippers, and went to open the door. Sophie Scott looked at Oliver standing at the door in surprise. He was just wearing loose pajamas, a few strands of hair sticking up, and his face still looked sleepy, as if he had just woken up. Oliver said, "I saw the news online, was worried about you, so I came to check." "I’m fine." Sophie Scott’s lips curled slightly, "I have a clear conscience, so it’s no big deal." Staring at Sophie Scott for a few moments, confirming she wasn’t emotionally affected, Oliver nodded reassuringly, "That’s good then." Sophie Scott ruffled his hair and said with a helpless smile, "Look at you, staying up late last night, do you want to go back to sleep a bit more?" "Nah, I have to go out later." Oliver stepped back half a step, avoiding Sophie’s hand. "Grown-up now, can’t even be touched," Sophie laughed, asking, "Isn’t it the weekend? Where are you going?" Oliver muttered vaguely, "Doing robotics stuff with the team." Sophie had heard a little about it and showed her understanding. "Well, I’m off then—" After taking two steps, Oliver stopped, hands in pockets, backed up to the door again, tilted his head slightly, and raised an eyebrow at Sophie, "Are you really okay?" "How can I put this..." Sophie emphasized helplessly, "I’m really okay." Oliver nodded, his expression a bit odd. Sophie laughed, "What, are you hoping something’s wrong with me or something?" Oliver waved his hand and headed for his bedroom. He hadn’t taken many steps before he heard the door to Sophie’s bedroom close, he paused slightly, ran his hand through his messy hair, looked back suspiciously for a moment, then went into his own room, quite puzzled. Something’s not right... His sister, usually quite sensitive and fragile, would be upset for half a day over a small thing, let alone such a hot topic being discussed over the internet. Upon reflection, he felt that Sophie has changed significantly recently. Either way, she’s fine, so he didn’t think much of it.

About to leave the house, he paused in his step, detoured to grab his phone from the bed, and sent a message to Steve Singleton. [Oliver]: What do girls generally like? [Steve Singleton]: ??? [Steve Singleton]: Mr. Aloof and unattached, a school heartthrob, did you get hacked?
