Xun Ming’s new book is called “Chaos Wind”.
Xi Yujin defines it as a traditional classic refreshing novel. All literary developments have their own time context. If it is too advanced or too retro, no matter how well it is written, it is likely to be well-received but not popular. As the first work of Xun Ming's transformation, many forces are watching, and Xi Yujin must play it safe.
Xi Yujin first reduced the map and moved the story to a suitable galaxy. These few words of settings may not be noticed by many readers, but they constitute the underlying logic of the whole book.
In the story of "Chaos Wind", a cosmic black tide surrounds the entire galaxy. The chaotic shadows born from the cosmic black tide wreak havoc in the galaxy, destroying homes and killing all living things. However, under the influence of the shadows, the people of this interstellar evolved superpowers of different attributes. Later, at the cost of the lives of countless superpowers, a sealing wall was finally built to temporarily protect the safety of the galaxy.
The protagonist's name is Ji Feng, and he's just an ordinary and a little weak wind-type psychic.
When he was twelve years old, he returned to his village, but fainted for no reason. When he woke up, the whole village was slaughtered by a mysterious person. The only dying aunt next door told him that the murderer was a black shadow that escaped, but he should not remember the hatred and live his own life.
How could the protagonist not feel heartbroken? He vowed immediately to become the strongest superpower in the future and avenge the lives lost in the village.
He applied to the Academy of Supernatural Powers, but was looked down upon because of his ordinary wind-related supernatural powers.
When hearing that the protagonist was practicing supernatural powers for revenge, others sneered: "Just you? Then your whole village died in vain! Your graves have become a place for others to hunt for food."
Ji Feng could not tolerate others insulting his dead relatives and friends, so he immediately challenged them during the entrance competition.
At this time, Ji Feng was still a weak first-level entry-level psychic, while the opponent was a first-level full-level psychic, so of course he was beaten badly. But at the critical moment, Ji Feng suddenly exploded with his psychic power and knocked the opponent down.
Ji Feng then discovered that in addition to his wind-related abilities, he also had another powerful ability of unknown attributes. He subconsciously hid it.
Ji Feng won the entrance competition, but was accused of cheating and was rejected by the college. As fate would have it, he was transferred to a remote small college, Daxia College.
This small academy was very strange. It was an old and run-down school, but it had many strict requirements for new students. Ji Feng passed all of them and became the only new student in this run-down school.
Ji Feng didn't know at this time that he would start a life of danger and opportunities here.
And meet lifelong friends...
"Wouldn't it be weird to have best friend characters appearing in books all the time?"
Xi Yujin did some research and found that the creatures in the universe had serious misunderstandings about the Blue Planet and the "human beings" that often appeared in the books.
Most people believe that humans are a species with two hands and two legs, no external skeleton, no lush fur, and no smooth and elastic skin.
Different creatures have their own opinions on the division of human gender. The discussion originated from a puzzle in Yongye's book:
"What has four legs in the morning, two legs at noon, and three legs in the evening?"
The answer is human.
Therefore, the cosmic creatures naturally misunderstood and believed that men and women were only distinguished by organs, and the real genders were children, adults, and the elderly. Human gender will change over time, and most people are homosexuals and will only date people of similar age.
The cosmic creatures are quite justified in this misunderstanding. Because according to most interstellar biological evolution theories, a binary gender society is very fragile and it is almost impossible to survive to the interstellar era. Single-sex special cases like the Flash Tribe survive because they are too long-lived. Most races have three or more genders.
During the writing process, novelists can divide the gender of the characters according to their own race, or they can choose to "set gender writing", which only distinguishes gender but does not set gender content, and let readers put themselves in the role. That is, it is stated that the character is female, but it will not introduce what it means to be female.
"Setting gender" is quite fashionable. But it is still too far-fetched to think that human gender is children and the elderly! Xi Yujin briefly introduced the universal worldview of human beings in "Chaos Wind": Humans have only two biological genders...
As I was writing, I decided to open a separate document to record the settings of Blue Star: Blue Star people evolved from humans, and each Blue Star person will have his or her own destined asteroid...
The typing machine No. 1 next to him was typing desperately under the drive of mental power, and it seemed that he was working much harder than Xi Yujin.
I feel that having only one coding machine is not enough, so I'll modify the settings of the Blue Star people.
Humans live on Earth. Later, due to a series of historical events, they differentiated into blue-star people who can live on stars. Blue-star people can capture many asteroids in their lifetime, but only the one closest to them is the destined asteroid...
After casually making up the evolution history of Blue Planet, Xi Yujin continued to perfect the setting of "Chaos Wind".
After the protagonist Ji Feng entered the school, he found that this place was very mysterious. The sloppy principal seemed to be a genius who had fallen from the previous generation, Wen Zou Zou's classmates were descendants of a big family, and even the gatekeeper grandfather had unfathomable strength.
Ji Feng is just an ordinary student who studies hard here and ignorantly enters the mysterious world of people with super powers.
The number of people with special abilities is small, and the battles do not easily involve life and death. Instead, a team battle method called "Sandbox Realm" is adopted.
In the "Sandbox Realm", each team has 5 to 8 members, who guard two sides in different terrains. Each side has a camp tower. If the camp tower is destroyed or all members of one side lose their combat ability, the battle is declared over.
The protagonist Ji Feng encountered many adventures in the school competition. By chance, he got all the legendary figures or classmates with secret life stories to be his teammates. From then on, this dream team defeated all the gods and Buddhas and aimed at the championship of the university league.
Xi Yujin had carefully considered the design of the protagonist's teammates.
Because of the influence of "Fairy Tale of Life and Death", some cosmic creatures believe that the best friend on Earth is equivalent to a partner. This will cause readers to misunderstand the main theme of other novels, and he must correct this mistake in time.
So there can’t be only one close friend in Chaos Wind.
He wants to set up a group of close friends!
Friend A is a genius classmate who looks down on the protagonist when they first meet, but is actually a soft-hearted person who secretly helps the protagonist organize a team.
Best Friend B is a sickly but kind senior from the Department of Healing. He helps the protagonist a lot and occasionally coughs up blood, but his true personality seems to be more manic.
Best friend C is a rich second-generation who only cares about getting credits and saving energy. He would rather lie down than sit. He kept his distance from the protagonist's enthusiastic people at first, but later he fell in love with them.
Best friend D...
Of course, there are female characters in the dream team, and Xi Yujin also carefully designed the bond and friendship between them. Then, boys and girls with different personalities and extraordinary abilities teamed up to fight wits and courage in the "battlefield" and swept the battlefield.
At first glance, this is no different from the common "revenge flow" in the universe, but Xi Yujin tends to shape characters and focus on cultivating team spirit when writing.
The passionate youth of the boys and girls, with pain and laughter, blood and tears, supported each other all the way. The moment when they finally won the championship was the most satisfying!
After inputting a thick stack of manuscripts, Xi Yujin began to sort out the outlines of Xun Ming's other three plots.
Online writing is actually developing in the direction of more and more exciting points and more and more plain writing. However, this universe does not have a plastic type that can dig deep into the exciting points of the article, but is born as an AI amateur writer with one click. What Xi Yujin needs to do is to develop different branches for the plot-oriented online writing, so that readers will realize that they will actually like to read this!
The traditional kingly way is the most easily accepted by the public.
The second is the farming management flow.
Travel is engraved in the DNA of all cosmic creatures, and farming literature is almost extinct. But it doesn't matter, spacecraft infrastructure is also infrastructure. Xi Yujin has already figured out how to integrate this genre into the interstellar environment.
There are two pits left. Xi Yujin chose the behind-the-scenes mastermind style, and the unearned money style. The behind-the-scenes mastermind focuses on manipulating everything in the fog and playing the whole world with excellent strategies. Unearned money is the inevitable trend of cool writing. There is no creature that does not like to get unearned money from the sky. Although vulgar, the public likes it.
There are other schools, which will be introduced in the future depending on the timing.
As a result, different work introductions appeared on Xun Ming’s Blue Star homepage.
"True or False Wealthy Family" has been completed.
"Fairy Tale of Life and Death", update is suspended.
"Chaos Wind", currently being serialized.
"Starship Management APP", in draft.
"House of Lies", in draft.
"A Million Gods' Gamble", currently in draft.
Soon, Xun Ming’s Blue Star homepage received tens of thousands of views.
after a while.
"I feel like I've written enough... Do you want to take a break..."
Xi Yujin was slumped in his chair, and Typesetter No. 1 was also slumped in the sofa, listlessly.
"No, I have to keep working on it!"
Xi Yujin thought of the weak Blue Star, and a sense of crisis made him jump up immediately. The code machine No. 1 beside him also jumped up with a whoosh.
"I'm here to update Eternal Night this time... Please put Canghai aside for now. I will help you explain the reason to the readers."
"Reader" literary and leisure column.
Canghai: I made an appointment with Xun Mingyongye to go out for a field trip today, but they didn’t come at the last minute, saying they had to write an article.
Canghai: Could it be that I’m the only one who hasn’t updated?
Canghai: Hello, friends, are there any novelists who are free to pay attention to me? Hello?
…
The reader Wenwen is reading "Chaos Wind" with full concentration.
It rarely touches plot-oriented cool stories, because it doesn't like the omnics, and thinks that the omnics ruin plot-oriented cool stories. Almost all articles are the same old routine, even the rhythm and the coolness are unchanged. It is already known that the protagonist will become the strongest in the galaxy, everything is predetermined, so what is the fun?
Ginseng Essence has been promoting their works as "the light of originality" with a 50% originality rate. Wen Wen also took a look at them out of curiosity, but was soon disappointed.
The Ginseng Spirit uses a relatively fresh routine at the beginning, but some of the world settings are completely unfresh, and some of the sentences for plot twists are exactly the same as other articles. The 50% repetition is as annoying as a fly on food.
The overall framework of the article is still set by AI for organisms.
So when Wenwen read "Chaos Wind", she immediately felt very different.
Xi Yujin didn't touch AI. Firstly, he spent 100,000 dust sands to buy it and wanted to play with it for himself; secondly, he felt that writing was a personal expression and it was a bit strange to stick it with AI. He didn't know how to solve the copyright problem of AI in this universe. Moreover, the amount of reading in his previous life was enough for him to complete his writing.
"There's a kind of... fresh feeling." Wen Wen murmured, "According to reading habits, the protagonist should be slapped in the face in the first chapter, but it's written that after the village is destroyed, the protagonist is still looked down upon... It's very strange and interesting."
AI supporters once said that AI has calculated the best formula for cool stories, and we just need to fill in the content according to that formula. It’s not that there are no novelists who deny it, but those who deny it are not very good at writing, so no matter what ideas there are, it is a convention to use AI to write cool stories.
And Xun Ming gave the answer today, which does not follow the AI routine. The imagination of the story and the exciting plot alone can attract readers to read on!
A world full of black tides.
Humans have evolved into people with special powers, which are divided into gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, and the mutant system... Blue Star's writing seems to like the "five elements" setting very much.
The psychics use their different powers to cooperate with each other and defeat powerful enemies by surprise.
Wen Wen has already seen the plot of the team formation within the academy in one breath.
At the beginning, it was still nervous, thinking that the protagonist would follow the routine of being looked down upon, trying his best to slap others in the face, being knocked down, and then turning the tables by relying on the golden finger.
Yet the interior of the academy is strange, but safe.
The college teachers would scold them harshly: "The strength of one person can only save one person. But a perfect team can save the world! The team needs you, but you also need the team."
The protagonist and his friends listened to the lecture dejectedly. Although it was the protagonist who suffered setbacks, Wen Wen did not feel unhappy. Instead, she felt that the protagonist's growth was traceable and he was more like a living person.
Yes, the words written by living things are certainly more soulful than those written by AI!
In the story, the protagonists resolved their misunderstandings with each other in the face of various difficulties, gradually became willing to trust each other, and for the first time experienced the benefits of "trust". In the difficult training, they still gritted their teeth and refused to let go of their companions' hands...
Wenwen also felt warm in her heart when she saw this.
Its species does not have such a thing as a school, but it has learned about human schools through "Fairy Tale of Life and Death", which is a place where creatures in their infancy gather together and are taught by professionals. The creatures who are classmates thus develop the purest friendship.
When it was reading the book, it was not a thrilling scene, and it was just a small training session for the protagonists. But watching the protagonists still abide by the agreement and hold their companions' hands tightly until they fainted, it felt like a tremor ran through the body, as if it suddenly saw the starlight in the right direction in the dark space.
And seeing the protagonist suddenly come up with a quick mind, figure out a way out, and lead everyone out of the predicament step by step, everyone laughed and hugged each other. Wenwen was more excited than seeing the protagonist blow up a galaxy.
The hard-working qualities of an individual shine like a star.
When a group of people work together for the same goal, it is as bright and charming as the starry sky.
Ah! It wants to cry too! This is the protagonist's dream team! They must be together! They will definitely win the final victory!
The plot progresses to the stage where Daxia College enters the preliminary round of the college league, playing against a third-rate college.
The dream team of Daxia College shocked all the spectators as soon as they made their move. Wenwen also became excited. There was still a lot that their dream team had not shown. When they showed their full strength, they would definitely shock the entire galaxy!
After the preliminary round, Xun Ming did not describe the celebration party of Daxia College, but instead wrote about the post-match atmosphere of a third-rate college.
It turns out that the third-rate academy knows that it is a third-rate academy. They almost always play once in the league and are destined to be runners-up. But losing is something you can never get used to. The atmosphere in the third-rate academy is very depressed.
Even a student with special abilities who appeared for a few minutes cried and said, "If only I had practiced better before, I could have lasted a few more minutes."
Seeing this, Wenwen was suddenly struck in the heart.
It can certainly feel happy for the victory of the protagonist, but it can empathize with the failure of the supporting characters the most. Because most creatures have to admit their mediocrity. Most creatures have thought that if they had worked harder before, they might have been more successful.
I have regretted and felt remorseful, but I still make the same mistakes over and over again.
On the next page, the president of this third-rate college spoke out:
"We always want to win, but someone has to lose. We often see the glory of victory, but we don't see the losers who come one after another... So do the losers ever gain anything? Unfortunately, losers always have one less honor than winners. All we can do is learn to accept our imperfect selves...
You have done a great job, but everyone go back and write me a 3,000-word review! "
Wenwen laughed out loud when she saw the last sentence, and then fell into deep thought.
Xun Ming seems to be writing cool novels, but he seems to be different from other novelists. In his works, not only does the protagonist have his own life, but other characters are also trying hard to live.
And defeating a flesh-and-blood enemy is obviously more fulfilling than defeating an obviously less intelligent enemy!
The protagonist needs a foil. Because every game is visibly difficult, the protagonist's victory further highlights his wisdom and strength.
After the game, Jifeng was surrounded by his teammates celebrating. At that moment, he smiled shyly, and Wenwen felt like her heart was melting.
To be fair, in terms of excitement, it is indeed not as brainless and exciting as the routine novels. But if Wen Wen had to choose between the two, it would definitely choose "Chaos Wind".
No other book can describe the thrilling feeling of being gripped by your heartstrings, the joy of shedding tears for something other than fighting! Dream team! We must win!
It opened the book club forum, wanting to share its reading experience in detail with fellow book lovers.
“I can guarantee that any reader who likes plot-oriented and cool novels will not regret opening “Chaos Wind”, because even I, who have a prejudice against cool novels, was fascinated by it… Xun Ming is as good at writing about emotions as always, and touching people’s hearts with details. If I didn’t know the details, I would really think that Xun Ming is a warm-hearted big brother.
Let’s not talk about these for now. In short, Xun Ming’s answer this time tells everyone that he can also write plots, and they are 100% original!
I have a feeling that he will lead a new genre, and it will be a genre with greater influence than the drop stream!"
As a result, a shocking post directly shocked it.
"Wow! Xun Ming's new book creates a new way of melodramatic writing! One to many close friends! Let's bet on who will be the final winner!"
That's friendship! This is a storyline! Not a melodrama!
But think about it, it’s quite good… The protagonist has a family feud and is healed by his friends, so isn’t it normal for them to be together when they grow up?
It actually... also has a biased supporting role...
Xun Ming, can you please let me believe in you again?
Wenwen calmly contributed to this post.
Because of the promotion of this post, many loyal readers of love stories also read it and praised it with great enthusiasm, although the focus was a bit off:
"Xun Ming is indeed the god of melodramatic writing! So exciting!"
As for the readers who are interested in the plot, the discussion of this article directly crushed the serialization of Ginseng Spirit.
College team-up, supernatural competition, and passionate youth!
Every reader of the novel is extremely excited! They wish they could be ten years younger, or travel through time and space to play games with the protagonists. They seem to be making progress and fighting together with the protagonists.
There were discussions about tactics.
"The protagonist Jifeng is so charming. Although he is still a child, he is calm and smart on the field. He even came up with the 'empty city plan' and went directly to the back of the enemy camp to steal the tower! Using the weak to defeat the strong is so cool!"
There is discussion capability.
"The protagonist has dual powers, wind and chaos. Can he defeat the senior's mutant light in a 1v1?"
There is also discussion about the plot setting.
"This Daxia Academy seems to have many secrets. Everyone, pay attention. This character is called Qiongqi. According to the clues mentioned in "The Tomb Code", this is one of their Blue Star cultures..."
Many readers also thought of the literary battle with the ginseng spirit.
The ginseng spirit designed the "descending flow", while Xun Ming is using the "college flow" to fight against him?
"Everyone has designed a new strategy, and both have innovated from the revenge strategy. I think this game is a tie."
"But the details are very different. The Landing Flow is new at the beginning, but the details of the Academy Flow are all new. The group battles are so attractive, and everyone in them is so good. I can't stand those protagonists who fight alone now, I think they are too stupid."
"I think in terms of development potential, the Academy style is better than the Descending style. I always don't know what to write about the Descending style in the later stages, and their combat power is super inflated. But the Academy style can think of different ways of fighting, but I don't know how Xun Ming wrote it. Did he really write love stories before?"
The Feiya Chamber of Commerce and the Ginseng Spirit held another meeting to urgently formulate the next plan.
The ginseng spirits read "Chaos Wind" over and over again, trying to find the formula for a good story, but they didn't find it. However, all the plot connections were so natural. As they read, they also wanted to have a superpower and play in the competition!
"Our popularity should be able to last for a while... Damn, why did the assassination plan fail?"
However, a prompt sound suddenly sounded. In the forum, the original five-pointed star discussion post could no longer be seen.
It turns out that Yongye has been updated! The new chapter is also a long case, "The Nursery Rhyme Murder Case".
And also attached a paragraph:
"I am writing this to fulfill an appointment with a friend. I am a little late. I hope you can forgive me."
That’s right, Xun Ming not only scolded the ginseng spirit, but also laughed at the Eternal Night Sea…
Is this... an internal fight in the literary world of Blue Star?
