From Sneers to Cheers Anthea's Ascent novel Chapter 101

"Totally agree! A task takes us at least three days, and even Master M can only manage one a day. How on earth could Phoenix·YC knock out 10 in a single day?”

"Thumbs up to the post above! Phoenix·YC is just a team player!”

"Agree! Shameless team players!"

It was human nature to harbor a bit of jealousy.

When someone surpassed the perceived limits of humanity and achieved extraordinary success, the knee-jerk reaction was to deem it false with some trickery.

After all, in the tech world, the esteemed and formidable Master M could only wrap up one standard task per day.

Yet here came Phoenix·YC, averaging staggering ten tasks a day.

For the past three years, not a soul in the tech realm had come close to sharing the spotlight with Master M.

And now, Phoenix·YC burst onto the scene with these unbelievable accomplishments.

It was just too good to be true, definitely a sham.

So naturally, everyone felt that this suspect was spot on in their assessment.

The forum erupted into chaos.

Phoenix·Damon said, "Are you jealous? Since when did everything become about the team? This is the tech world, not some celebrity fan club! Phoenix·YC doesn't need a team, nor marketing stunts!"

Phoenix·InfinityAeon echoed, "Accusing Phoenix·YC without a shred of proof! How dare you!"

Phoenix·BreakdownBuddy said, "Somebody's insulting Phoenix·YC! Where's the Phoenix family? Crush these sourpusses!"

Since Phoenix·YC's last groundbreaking victory, they've amassed a legion of fans and even founded the Phoenix family. Anyone with 'Phoenix' in their ID was a family member.

The family now boasted over ten thousand loyalists.

As both sides dug in their heels, the forum debates raged on.

Daniel jumped into the fray, adopting the ID Phoenix·Robinson and enlisted in the Phoenix family.

After a hearty round of forum bickering, he opened a chat window, “Don't sweat the forum trash talk! We believe in you!”

Anthea was confused.

In business, you have to give to get.

Carole tallied up the day's takings.

Two thousand in cash.

Another six thousand through card and mobile payments.

After rent, utilities, and costs, they'd cleared three thousand!

If they hadn't sold out, they could have earned even more.

Double-checking to ensure no mistake, Carole turned to Anthea with excitement, "Ann, we made three thousand today!"

Her monthly salary didn't even hold a candle to what she made today. It felt uncanny.

Anthea glanced back with a smile. "This is just the beginning. We'll earn much more in the future."

She continued, "Oh, we'll need more stock for tomorrow. It'll be busier than today. We should hire a couple of extra hands. Uncle Nanson should stop his courier job and help us out. Otherwise, you'll be overwhelmed once I'm back at school."
