"Gano?" Xi Yujin noticed that Ganuo seemed to have something to say.
Gano came back to his senses and covered up, "I was thinking about...some difficulties in translation."
He was an out-and-out warrior among the Zerg. The Zerg had a strict hierarchy, and even entertainment activities were treated differently. In his brain bank, art was simply a desert. Apart from the melodramatic texts that were easy to understand, he rarely felt the emotions in other texts, and only translated the texts accurately out of his keenness in deciphering codes.
But it still lacks a bit of artistry. Xi Yujin didn't care about this before, and Gano himself didn't notice this point either. But today, this idea suddenly came to his mind.
Yu Jinnuo's friends are all novelists, so he will try to work hard in this area... maybe they will have more common topics in the future?
I just hope that the two of them can chat more as Yu Jin wishes.
Ganuo wasn't so sure.
Xi Yujin on the opposite side immediately made up his mind to create more aliases and make more money in order to stabilize the cooperative relationship between the two.
"The artistry of writing is related to rhythm." He said, "If you don't mind, I will teach you to read the writing of Blue Star later."
Ganuo nodded silently.
Xi Yujin asked again expectantly: "What about the language of Ganuo's hometown? Can I learn it? This way we can communicate better."
Ganuo refused calmly: "We Zerg have very strict control over writing."
Xi Yujin noticed that Gano always avoided talking about his race, and kept his doubts to himself, not openly. As long as they spent enough time together, they would understand each other.
But back to the original question.
Only when Xi Yujin makes enough money can they have the premise for long-term relationship.
Xi Yujin switched to work mode and reviewed the evolution of all things rigorously. First of all, there was the rumor about Yongye. There must be a reason for everything. He didn't believe that there was really a wanted criminal in the universe who thought Yongye was the same kind after being released from prison, because the methods of "Mr. Zhong's Detective Cases" all originated from Earth. The real wanted criminal should think he was talking nonsense.
He reopened the post on the book club forum and read every reply, feeling something was wrong.
Suddenly, he remembered that he had written down some recruitment information for writing jobs when he was looking for jobs in the Ten Thousand People Square, and he quickly took it out and looked through it.
His eyes stopped on a job advertisement on Feiya Novel Network.
Recruitment requirements are: certain writing skills are required, familiarity with the forum scoring mode and book list sharing mode, and having a senior account is preferred.
Judging from the experience of earthlings, this is simply □□.
Xi Yujin has already guessed a little bit of the truth: Yongye's performance is good, which makes his peers jealous, so Feiya Novel Network sent some trolls to discredit him on the forum.
The page switched to Feiya Novel Network, and he noticed that the plot track of the essay contest had been put up for sale, and there were also special guests of the contest, five well-known novelists from the Panqu Galaxy.
"It seems that the release of the emotional track was delayed in order to allocate publicity resources to the extra special guests," he pondered.
Xi Yujin was determined to find out the real culprit that was preventing him from making money. He clicked on the page of the special guests, and at the top was their promotional photos. Five yellow ginseng spirits of different heights took a photo together holding their works, all showing shy smiles.
The scene was too horrifying, so he turned off the computer, looked at Ganuo opposite him and calmed down, then turned on the computer again, quickly scrolled through the photos, and went straight to their gallery.
A series of slogans are hung on both sides of the work library, such as "The winding galaxy shocks the new star and leads the new trend of online literature", "Originality is immortal, a masterpiece that uses soul to compete with AI".
The most eye-catching work in the middle is titled "I Never Lose When Landing in a New Galaxy."
In the story, a skinny ginseng spirit was bullied and excluded by his own kind. During an interstellar journey, the spacecraft crashed and the skinny ginseng spirit landed in a fern galaxy. In the eyes of the fern star people, the protagonist was tall and mighty, with round and powerful tentacles, so he was very popular.
The subsequent plot is similar to the common revenge plot. The protagonist falls in love with a fern star and plans to travel together. However, the fern star is of noble status and is forced to marry the moss star system.
The protagonist starts with the small fern soldiers and beats them all the way to the giant fern. The moss people come to support. The protagonist continues to beat the mini moss all the way to the ocean moss, and finally succeeds in traveling with his lover.
Readers generally believe that this book has many innovative highlights. For example, the protagonist no longer seeks revenge because his travel companions are killed, but seeks revenge in order to be able to travel with his companions. For example, ordinary online novels only destroy one galaxy, but the protagonist destroys two. The originality index is very high, as high as 50%.
The author also uses a novel writing technique, which is to divide the poem into sections. In each section, there is almost only one sentence, and many text emoticons (such as ORZ) are added, which is straightforward and easy to understand, and the emotions are clear at a glance.
"I Never Lose When I Land in a New Galaxy" has set the entire novel platform on fire once it was released!
Other authors quickly followed suit, and four of them were also well-liked. Their representative works include "I, the Ginseng Spirit, Landed in a Galaxy Where Tentacle Quantity is Supreme", "Can Such a Shrunken Me Be Liked", "What's Wrong with Trying to Settle in a Strange Galaxy After a Spaceship Crash", and "What! I'm the Number One in Combat Power in This Galaxy?". This gave rise to a new genre of refreshing writing, the Landing Stream. Readers happily called them "Original Pentagrams".
Xi Yujin: Ah, this.
Xi Yujin turned off the computer again and tried to think about these novels without prejudice.
To be honest, he was really interested. He really wanted to see how the ginseng spirit fought against the giant fern and moss coalition. It must be thrilling, with grass and trees flying everywhere and the sun and moon losing their light. Which chapter did this scene appear in? Could he skip it immediately and watch it?
He is so curious, no wonder this kind of book is so popular.
"Falling Stream" is a big hit in the Panqu Galaxy. But the original work is only authorized to be serialized in the Panqu Galaxy, so readers in other galaxies only know the name but not the text. Now they have landed in the semi-finals of the Feiya Novel Network's essay competition, and serializing their refined versions has naturally attracted a lot of traffic.
"No wonder the prizes for the emotional track are half as much, it turns out that the champion of the plot track has already been decided..." Xi Yujin verified all the details and figured out his opponent who was in the dark step by step. "If I were Feiya Novel Network, I would improve the quality of the prizes for the plot track. In addition to paying the invitation bonus for the guests, it could also be used as a publicity gimmick, which is killing two birds with one stone."
"Xun Ming, it's your fault that you were born at the wrong time..."
So what about the Canghai?
Xi Yujin collects relevant information published recently.
It turns out that the Falling Stream was so popular that it was successfully published after being serialized online. Feiya Novel Network also won the online publishing rights for them in the Pangshi Galaxy.
"The original author of 'Falling Stream' has landed in the Sidestone Galaxy! Pre-sale event for the physical book, purchase in the previous universe and receive the author's autograph!"
"Physical book pre-sale event 2, recommend a friend to buy the book, and you can get a 20% discount if you buy the book together!"
"Physical book pre-sale event three, post relevant book reviews and have a chance to participate in the lucky draw for peripherals..."
In this universe, the number of physical books published is quite large, so there are almost no activities such as author autographs. However, the ginseng spirit has an advantage that it has a lot of tentacles and can sign 10 at a time, so this promotional event attracted many new readers.
Of course, no one is interested in Canghai's "The Tomb Code"...
After getting the information, Xi Yujin started typing without stopping. Today's typing task has not been completed yet. In Ganuo's opinion, it was just to comfort his so-called close friends again.
His pen accidentally punctured the manuscript paper, and he had to change the manuscript paper with an expressionless face.
It was rare for him to be unable to control his strength. It seemed that he needed to not only practice literature, but also find time to stretch his muscles.
…
The hot posts in the book club forum are updated very quickly.
In the interstellar age, information exploded, and hot words were updated every second. The previously hotly discussed Eternal Night Xun Ming has long disappeared from the forum homepage. This is very common among cosmic creatures. Now everyone is discussing the coiled galaxy! Original Pentagram! Publication pre-sale event!
>Title: Is it worthwhile to pay to read online articles and then buy physical books? Online articles are much cheaper than physical books.
-Of course it's worth it! It's well known that physical books are luxury goods, and online publications are cheaper than physical books. Travel life is so boring, it's good to embellish it with some light luxury goods.
>Title: Has the dispute among the three courts come to a conclusion?
-Agree. The ability of the "Original Pentagram" is really great. They not only write books, but also save hundreds of millions of hungry readers of cool articles! They are great authors who fight against the AI of the intelligent machine race on their own! Although there are also authors who write physical books very well, or authors of other genres who write online articles very well, they cannot compare with the "Original Pentagram" in terms of achievements.
-Doesn’t Yongye count as the pioneer of detective-style online fiction?
-Who is Yongye?
-Can Yongye fight against AI?
-Yongye's writing is too brain-intensive to read. I don't want to read it after reading two short stories. Before going to bed, I just want to read a story with a cool plot. I just caught up with the original five-pointed star serialization and am waiting for the next chapter with difficulty.
>Title: Are you going to join me in the pre-sale activity of Feiya Publishing? I used to only read physical books, not online articles, and I was not interested in this. But this pre-sale activity attracted me too much. Feiya is indeed a professional businessman, and I was willing to be cheated again.
- Feiya has found the right novelist this time and successfully entered the publishing industry. Maybe it will be the only chamber of commerce left in the Pangshi galaxy in the future...
Discussions like these filled the forum. But there were still a small number of readers who couldn't forget Yongye and his friends. After all, fighting can also bring out feelings. They searched for keywords and pushed up related posts from time to time.
Xun Ming has been delaying his updates recently, and his readers have gradually become united as one. All sorts of bizarre quarrels have turned into "Xun Ming, you jerk, don't let me find you offline."
Yongye's readers still have many questions that have not been answered. Why was the post in which he said he was a former universe wanted criminal deleted? Only screenshots of unknown origin and so-called internal employee conversations that were photoshopped to look real were left, casting a shadow on Yongye's true identity.
Unlike what Xi Yujin guessed, in fact, the creatures in the universe do not have that much sense of morality. They will not stop reading just because the author is a wanted criminal. The universe is too big, and the probability of readers encountering a wanted criminal may be lower than the probability of encountering a new black hole. It is better to care about the new black hole. Everyone is just pretending to condemn it on the surface.
In fact, it feels... more exciting.
Members of the Materialistic Reading Club were much more timid.
They chose their words carefully, sent emails to inquire about Yongye's specific situation, and closed their eyes to pray for the blessing of the god of materialism.
After an unknown amount of time, Yongye finally replied:
"Hello, I have applied for a certificate on the Blue Star official website. The address is EARTH:001. I hope your platform can post a notice to inform readers. Thank you very much."
The Materialistic Reading Club breathed a sigh of relief.
A member clicked on the Blue Star official website and saw a notice in the "Blue Star Citizen Affairs Publicity Office":
"Citizen Yongye has a good credit and no bad record. He has made many contributions to the Blue Star Forum. This is to certify this." The signature is Yu Jin's calligraphy style.
There is a galaxy that proves that Yongye is really a good guy.
The Materialistic Reading Club was completely relieved and quickly wrote a clarification announcement on the Materialistic Library. One member had great respect for Yongye and carefully browsed the Blue Star official website, muttering: "It turns out that Mr. Yongye came from this galaxy."
The member clicked on the list of writers on the Blue Star official website and found that Yongye's name was not on it. Among the many unfamiliar names without translations, it only recognized "Yu Jin", which was the only name with translation. It was a little surprised. Is there a writer better than Mr. Yongye?
It rummaged around and found the link to the official website of the Reader, and clicked on the URL to jump.
"Wow, this is a completely unfamiliar style."
The members of the Materialistic Reading Club all rushed to the laptop and exclaimed in amazement at the ink painting style.
"But this magazine only has two issues. Is this the best magazine on Blue Star?" Some members also felt something was wrong.
"You'll know after you take a look."
80% of the first issue of the Reader magazine has been translated. They guessed and understood the short story, and they were still not satisfied. They all sighed that the Blue Planet is a galaxy with rich cultural heritage. It may be a literary sanctuary! The embers marked on the cover page also cast a mysterious veil in their eyes.
"Thanks Mr. Yongye, I found a new place to read articles. I will subscribe immediately."
The member happily returned to the homepage and clicked the subscription button. He scrolled down again and was pleasantly surprised to find a comment section. He quickly clicked in to see if there were any like-minded people there, as there were still many terms he didn't understand.
“Come and see!” The members suddenly burst into screams. “Mr. Yongye has also left a message in the comment section! He is a reader of the Reader. Haha, I must leave a message quickly so that all creatures can see that my ID is attached to Mr. Yongye!”
"No future..." The other members looked at it with disdain, but out of disrespect for the other party, they still walked over to see what message it would leave.
So all creatures watched the page slide down again, and saw that someone had already replied to Yongye's message.
An unexpected person.
All the seafood creatures reacted in an instant. Before their brains realized what it meant, their bodies realized it first. Their faces and limbs slowly raised their arcs of surprise as if a slow button had been pressed. Those with suction cups opened their suction cups, and those carrying shells lifted their shells. Everything was so slow until the shocking news was finally processed and transmitted to the brain at lightning speed.
“That’s impossible!”
The members in front of the computer quickly used two fingers to enlarge the screen, allowing the most incredible name to occupy the entire field of vision.
All creatures leaned back, as if struck by the light of that name:
"Mr. Yongye actually knows...?"
…
An alien was returning to the spacecraft with a book it had just bought.
It is called Bobo. It has made a lot of money in its star-hunting journey and is keen on enjoying the joy of physical books. It has heard a little about the reputation of the Flash Empire, so it doesn't care about their essay competition. It likes to buy books randomly in bookstores, and it is happier to find a good book than to find a new star.
It just randomly bought a copy of "The Tomb Code", which came with a booklet. It first flipped through the booklet and took a quick look. Experienced readers can already get a general idea of the quality of the book from the preface.
When it saw the word "embers", its heart skipped a beat. The star hunters who had returned from the fringe not long ago seemed to have talked about this name, but it could also be a coincidence.
The preface was full of thanks and had little value. The graphic descriptions at the end were somewhat interesting, and he read a few pages with great interest, which raised his expectations for the main text.
After enjoying these appetizers, it’s time to enjoy the main course.
Bobo then began to read the main text of "The Tomb Code". While reading, three universe times passed in the blink of an eye.
When he turned to the pause in a certain chapter, he suddenly woke up from his reading rhythm and took a breath of cold air. He quickly picked up the attached booklet and turned to a more detailed analysis according to the instructions in the text.
It stopped at the page "The Tomb of Hundreds of Hanging Upside Down". Looking at the explanation above, the Tomb of Hundreds of Hanging Upside Down is actually a place for piranhas to breed. Outsiders who come to the tomb will fall into the restraint lock and become food for piranhas. However, there is a hole under the river, and the power of the tide can be used to break this trap.
“There are so many interesting things in the underground world!”
"Too mysterious..." Bobo exclaimed in amazement, "How did the author come up with this?"
“What are the culture of spells, the culture of the Eight Diagrams, and the culture of the Book of Changes?”
Bobo quickly flipped through the booklet and found that the gift was as interesting as the main text. Unfortunately, the booklet was limited in content and could not provide a detailed introduction. Bobo searched the Internet for related entries but found nothing. This feeling of being very curious but unable to find a solution was really torturous!
It can only read the main text with regret, but is also attracted by the bizarre plot of the main text. The first-person perspective makes it extremely immersive, and it is afraid with the protagonist when it is scary, and laughs with him when the protagonist is funny. The plot is ups and downs, and the relationship between the protagonist and his brothers is also quite interesting.
However, the whole book comes to an abrupt end when the protagonist encounters new troubles.
“How come it’s gone!”
Bobo howled to the sky. He looked closely and saw the cover of the book was titled "The Tomb Code 1: River and Sea"
"Fortunately, there is a next volume, but when will the author publish it? No, I have to ask the bookseller." Bobo couldn't put down the book and its gifts, and thought the packaging was exquisite and cute. He couldn't help but read it from the beginning again.
Before dialing the bookseller's communication channel, Bobo thought of a book club forum and quickly went there to share.
As soon as you enter, the screen is full of "Original Five-pointed Stars", and before that it was full of "Eternal Night", and before that it was full of "Xun Ming". At first glance, it is a topic related to online literature. Only those readers who have been spoiled by online literature will have a new topic every day.
Bobo doesn't like online novels, thinking they don't have a deep feeling when reading. But Canghai's novels are just the opposite, they need to be read carefully and repeatedly, and there is a deep sense of history in the interesting stories. So it seems that these book lovers don't know the goods.
Popo specifically searched for "The Tomb Code" and found the discussion post with the most replies.
"The Tomb Code is so good! I had been thinking about it for a long time during the preview. In the end, only one physical volume was published, and it's not even finished! I bought the physical book, so why do I still have to endure the torment of serialization?"
Bobo quickly followed up with a post to praise it.
The poster added: "But there is also a drawback, many of the technical terms are hard to understand."
Bobo replied: "Didn't you receive the gift? The explanations in the accompanying booklet are very interesting and it aroused my greater curiosity."
"What!" The poster was very shocked. "The novel published by Flash Empire has free gifts? It seems that I was too impatient to take the free gifts. I hope the bookstore owner will keep them for me. I bought five copies."
"Are there any bookstores that still sell The Tomb Code? I went to many bookstores, and they mainly sell original Pentagram books. They don't stock Canghai's novels."
"I have the coordinates of that bookstore. It's at XXX in the Xth commercial district of XX star. There are a lot of books in that bookstore. Every shelf is filled with them. I won't say any more. I'm going to go get the gift first."
The poster said a few more words.
"I think the charm of physical books is completely incomparable to online novels. Not to mention the outliers like the original Pentagram, just take the previously popular Eternal Night. The case-solving is very fresh, but it's a pity that it's too short. The last chapter was finally longer, but the new chapter has not been updated yet. The same goes for Xun Ming. I can just follow the serialization every day. He has become a bit of a bummer recently, so of course he will end up being forgotten by readers...
Canghai is still better! Physical books provide a better reading experience, can be used to decorate the appearance, and you don’t have to worry about bad writing! ”
After saying all this, the poster quickly ran to the bookstore to get his gift back.
Today, the bookstore still had few customers buying The Tomb Code, and the tall and thin merchant looked into the distance with melancholy. He saw the poster rushing over, and remembered that he was a big customer who bought five copies yesterday, so he immediately greeted him with a smile and took out the packaged gifts.
The poster took the gift and saw a strange customer rushing over in a hurry, picking up the book "The Tomb Code" from the bookshelf and ready to pay. The tall and thin businessman was slightly pleased. There was business as soon as the store opened today, so it seemed that he could hope not to lose so much money.
"The publicity of Shining Empire is not enough, so we can only rely on the hard quality of Tomb Code."
The poster felt a little worried, but soon became excited about getting the booklet.
On the way, it couldn't wait to open the package, turned to the first page of the gift, and the big words "Preface" caught its eye.
Um?
Not sure if I’m dazzled, look again.
ah? ?
It almost stuck the pages of the book in front of its eyes, and the names of the two famous novelists were reflected in its big eyes.
…
"I'm so pissed! Xun Ming, this meteorite spirit!"
In this universe, pigeons are a species that often procrastinate. Because they once missed a war with hawks due to their procrastination, they are also called "peace doves." For novelists who often procrastinate, readers give them the nickname "pigeon spirits."
Those novelists who dig holes without filling them are called "meteorite spirits", which means that their works are full of holes.
The most angry curse that readers can throw at the meteorite spirit is nothing less than “the meteorite spirit will be shattered!”
Recently, Xun Ming has been updating less and less frequently, and often updates on time. In the eyes of readers, he has evolved from "Xun Ming Da Da" to "Pigeon Spirit" and then to "Meteorite Spirit". If "Fairy Tale of Life and Death" is paid, they will be even more angry.
Some readers were extremely dissatisfied and were squatting in the pit with difficulty.
Until today, they happened to discover that Xun Ming’s personal column could be clicked into!
By accident, they found the official website of "Reader" and caught a glimpse of Xun Ming's comment section with their extremely keen intuition.
In their excitement, they didn't care who was chatting with Xun Ming, and just responded with a large number of replies:
"Xun Ming!! Update!!"
…
"Quack, quack! We, the Flying Ducks, have let the Materialistic Library be so arrogant for so long. We have already shown some mercy!" The big yellow ducks opened champagne to celebrate in the conference room. The bubbles washed over their feathers, making them shiny.
"And once we make a move, even the Flash Empire will be powerless to resist! Quack!" The Yellow Duck Boss flapped its wings and shouted, telling of its great blueprint, "After occupying the publishing platform, we can then monopolize the energy platform, and then use this as a springboard. We will have the final say on the prices of the entire Pangshi Galaxy! The Flying Duck Chamber of Commerce will move towards greatness!"
"Go, to, great!"
“Oh no!”
A little yellow duck rushed in, breaking the joyful atmosphere in the meeting room.
"Boss! Traffic monitoring data shows that the search volume for our five foreign players is decreasing... while the discussion of 'Blue Star' is rising rapidly!"
