Chapter 8: Collective Urge for Updates



Li Changle was practicing guitar. He found that after his memory improved, his guitar skills seemed to recover at the speed of light as long as he practiced diligently.

Moreover, some guitar techniques that I could never master before, such as vibrato and string bending, can now be practiced with ease. This is much more interesting than writing novels.

Li Changle has been obsessed with guitar these days. Besides the daily 6,000-word update for Xianjian I, he's also been working on it.

He would save up 10,000 or 20,000 yuan of manuscripts every day, and then he would put down his work and concentrate on playing the guitar, not even cooking. It can be said that he was so dedicated to it that he forgot to eat and sleep.

The office of Ruyi, the editor of the Chinese website, has become the Chinese Paladin Readers' Alliance, and everyone is waiting for updates every day.

After reading it, we discussed the plot of the novel together, and then speculated how outrageous the performance of this novel would be after it was put on the shelves.

For a week, they have given up urging for updates. It can be seen that this author named Li Xiaoyao seems to be a Buddhist author who updates in a leisurely manner.

Six thousand words a day, unwavering. No matter how much I push, it's useless. I don't check Penguin social media, I don't read private messages...

The first episode of Chinese Paladin has been updated to the part where the Drunken Sword Master first meets Li Xiaoyao and forces him to learn the Sword Control Technique. When the Drunken Sword Master recites the Sword Control Technique, the whole office goes into a frenzy.

Riding the wind, I come with my sword to slay demons between heaven and earth.

With wine I am happy and carefree, without wine I am also crazy,

Drink up the rivers, and then drink up the sun and moon.

I can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, because I am the Drunken Swordsman.

An editor who was a bit immature had already read it out loud in the office. The editor was seen trembling his lips and gesticulating with joy.

He muttered, "This is the immortal hero in my mind..."

No one in the office laughed at him; everyone agreed with his words. This was what a Xianxia should be like: heroic, unrestrained, and free and easy.

From this poem, they seemed to have seen a handsome middle-aged man with a small mustache, messy hair tied up, a peerless magic sword behind him, and a gourd hanging around his waist.

He only needs one sword to slay demons and defend the way. He always looks nonchalant and always wants to get drunk. His alcohol tolerance is as unfathomable as his sword-wielding skills.

So cool!

If you read this poem in this book, you won't miss out! Isn't this much better than those brainless and cool articles that pretend to be cool but then get slapped in the face?

The desire for updates that had been dormant in everyone's minds has become active again. This author must update more!

Everyone looked at Ruyi, who had a bitter face and shook her head.

"Don't look at me. I can't even get in touch with Li Xiaoyao right now. I also want him to update more..."

Ruyi's cute face had turned into a bitter one, and everyone was disappointed.

It wasn't just the members of the Chinese website's Fairy Sword Alliance who were anxious. The readers were clearly even more impatient than the editors.

"That's it? Eighty thousand words are gone in a moment?"

"I've read it over and over again! It's so fun to write a novel. I like Li Xiaoyao's personality... Why can't you update it more?"

"Ride the sword and come with the wind, slaying demons between heaven and earth, this is too damn cool, Drunken Sword Immortal YYDs!!"

"Why is this dog also called Li Xiaoyao? I'm so ashamed."

"Dog author please update!"

"renew!"

Update +1

"This is the first time I've read such a heroic poem in a novel. I seem to have seen in my mind how cool and dashing the Drunken Swordsman is. He's so damn handsome!"

"Such a cool poem, it will be my penguin signature from today!"

"You're too stupid..."

"So what's up with your Chinese website profile?"

"Can the affairs of scholars be called second-rate?"

For a moment, the comment section was filled with a happy atmosphere.

The comment section for Chinese Paladin 1 is bustling with activity, with most comments urging for updates and praising the novel.

The book of 80,000 words directly rushed to the first place on the new book list. Ruyi estimated that this book would stay at the first place on the new book list until it was put on the shelves.

"Why hasn't this book been put on the shelves yet? Hurry up and put it on the shelves. I want to reward you, a big reward! And then I will urge you to update it!"

"Great advice, fellow Daoist!"

“Please put it on the shelf!”

"I come to the book review section mainly to do three things: urge for updates, urge for updates, and urge for updates!"

"Can sending razor blades prompt updates? Can sending monthly tickets prompt updates? If neither works, can sending razor blades plus monthly tickets prompt updates?"

"I have a friend who likes this book very much and wants to know the author's contact information and address..."

The book "Chinese Paladin 1" became popular on the Chinese website at an incredible speed. It is outrageous that a new book that has not been put on the shelves is even more popular than the top ten books in the monthly ticket ranking.

Li Changle was completely unaware that his fingers had been hurt by the strings from practicing guitar all this time. Li Changle sighed.

Until calluses form on my fingers, I'm afraid I'll be unable to get rid of the pain.

Practicing guitar is really painful and happy. The pain is physical pain, and the happiness is spiritual happiness.

Songs that he couldn't play before can now be played easily. Li Changle is no longer satisfied with the acoustic guitar, and bought an electric guitar, effects pedals, speakers and a bunch of other equipment.

Thinking about my finger injury, my typing speed has decreased. I used to be able to save 10,000 to 20,000 words of manuscripts a day, but now I can only barely save 6,000 words a day.

It's best to be cautious in everything, because what if you don't have any manuscripts saved by then? It seems that a few days ago, there were quite a few readers of the novel "Chinese Paladin 1".

After thinking about it, Li Changle simply posted a separate chapter to explain the situation.

Thank you all for your support of Chinese Paladin 1. Because I injured my finger while practicing guitar these days, my typing speed and efficiency have decreased, so the daily update has been reduced from 6,000 words to 3,000 words. I will resume updating once my finger recovers. Thank you for your understanding!

My dear, there is more to this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It will be even more exciting later!
