When the ginseng spirit was a child, he realized the charm of novels and immediately had a dream of becoming a writer, imagining that he would have a physical book signed with his pen name. Later, he came across the cool online novels and was amazed by them. He was addicted to them for a long time. But after reading too much, he felt that there was no creativity, so he picked up a pen himself.
The first time it created something, the document was empty, and it wrote two lines and didn't know how to continue. It then realized that those simple sentences that it thought were easy were actually so difficult to write. It began to have a sense of awe for every word.
The second time, his creative passion came back, he wrote 3,000 words, read them over and over again, and thought he was the next hot writer. But after he published it, there were no hits at all. Under the repeated blows of cold data, he realized that he was indeed a bad writer.
After several attempts at creation, it always finished hastily, and never finished a work. Until it came into contact with AI writing. It seemed to be a stool, and as long as it stepped on it, it could see a different scenery.
It generated the first AI article, tried to revise it several times, and after sending it out, it unexpectedly received a lot of praise.
“Well written, better than other AIs.”
"This article is quite innovative. I look forward to the author's next chapter."
It suddenly realized that it was smart. It might not have a talent for writing, but it had a talent for "editing". The AI novels it edited were better than those edited by other novelists.
It became even more excited, using AI to generate a large number of articles, updating them stably and quickly. Its awe of words was gradually worn away. It was like a child who had not learned to run, and it sat directly in a mechanical wheelchair and flew into the sky. The scenery in the distance was so beautiful, and countless praises lifted it up high, and it thought it had grown wings.
But no.
It's all an illusion.
It wanted to use AI to generate another revenge novel, and then change it into Xun Ming's latest "The Mastermind", but there were too many things to change. It couldn't think of an original plot, and the empty and powerless sentences couldn't build the world in its own book.
No, it still speaks one sentence.
"We give up..."
The duck waiter next to him opened his eyes wide in shock and hurried to find his superior.
After hearing this, the yellow duck boss trembled a few times and fell like a dead leaf. It sighed and said hoarsely: "Is this your last resort? Embers. Make the opponent lose in a fair way."
Several hundred astronomical units away, Xi Yujin saw that the ginseng essence had not updated any more. He thought that he had finally eliminated the variables in the plan and he relaxed a little.
Boss Huang Ya said seriously, "In that case, let the judges give the final scores truthfully. The grand prize of the plot track will be given to Xun Ming as a personal favor. I hope we can have business dealings in the future."
The big white duck said: "Xun Ming has three novels, and they are all in the top three in popularity. Do you want him to take the top three awards? This, this is the licensing fee originally intended for Panqu Galaxy..."
Yellow Duck Boss: "Business can only win if you lose. We still have the fourth and fifth place prizes, which can be used to make the licensing fee for Ginseng Essence. This way the loss is not too big."
On the Chaoping, Xi Yujin looked through the essay solicitation advertisement on Feiya Novel Network and found that the top five prizes were particularly generous. He stared at the fourth prize, which included tempered replaceable glass. Thinking of the fact that the Chaoping was always broken for various reasons, he suddenly felt a little moved.
He won the award based on his own strength, not by taking advantage of Feiya Novel Network!
On Feiya Novel Website, Five Ginseng Spirits issued a notice of "suspending updates" and promised to refund the money unless they could write 100% original articles and would not write again.
Many readers in the forum were shocked.
Recently, 100% originality has become synonymous with Xun Ming, and the intention of this notice is obvious.
"This is truly admitting defeat to Xun Ming."
"I am also convinced by Xun Ming. If it weren't for Xun Ming's articles, I wouldn't have known that there are so many routines in online cool writing. AI writing may have its merits, but it can never replace original writing. The soul of text cannot be copied mechanically."
"Be careful of the Omnics, you stepped on their landmine, hahahahahaha, but I agree with you."
"Xun Ming has responded. He said he never looks back at the loser. Although he didn't take advantage of the opportunity to kick someone when he's down, he's still arrogant. All the ginseng spirits have admitted defeat. Now there really is no novelist who can stop him."
"As long as he is willing to update, I will forgive him."
“Wait, a lot of AI-assisted novelists I know have also left messages on the Reader!”
The number of visits to the official website of "Reader" has reached its highest peak in recent times.
Whether it is Feiya Novel Network, Wuwu Library, or some small websites, all novelists who have used AI to write cool novels have left a message under Xun Ming's extremely arrogant reply.
"We will get a ticket to communicate with you one day!"
"I decided to learn to write novels from scratch, and polish my favorite plots, characters, and rhythms bit by bit. I have always had a story that I really wanted to share with readers, but because I relied too much on AI, I didn't dare to create the work completely by myself. You gave me the courage!"
"I also want to write about farming and management, because I am a grass, I love soil, and my dream is to cover the spaceship with soil. Your novel has inspired me, and I hope we can have a fateful meeting!"
More and more novelists have expressed their desire to learn the genre founded by Xun Ming and are willing to acknowledge Xun Ming as the founder.
Previously, Renshen Jing commented that Xun Ming might have created a new genre. The "possibility" mentioned here means that there must be many novelists imitating and learning from him, and there must be many different works under a certain category before it can be called a genre. Xun Ming's creation is valuable for its creativity. He wrote out the rough outline of this routine almost at the beginning, which inspired the inspiration of novelists.
Because of this cosmic morality, imitation is not a shameful thing. On the contrary, if the novelist being imitated is imitated too many times, he may develop a spiritual power abnormality. There is no data to clearly record this, it is only a legend.
Before those novelists who followed the trend even started writing, Xi Yujin felt his head getting hot.
“Hiss——” He covered his head, looked at his palms, slowly stretched out his five fingers, and then clenched his fists, “My skin seems to be a little warm recently. I am obviously a star spirit?”
After exploring for a while and failing to find the answer, Xi Yujin had to give up. He saw the novelists who left messages and thought that Xun Ming should have something to say given his personality.
"Reader" literary and leisure column.
Xun Ming: There is no one stronger than the strongest, the peak is always the loneliest ^-^
As soon as this post was published, it received a lot of criticism about Xun Ming's character.
On various novel websites, novelists began to upload new works, saving up manuscripts with enthusiasm and nervousness. They tried their best to finish old works, and those who could not continue writing could only follow the website's regulations. The online literature world of the Pangshi Galaxy was temporarily depressed. But one day in the future, it will be rejuvenated with a completely different vitality.
Xun Ming is destined to become a guiding light for many novelists.
Now, the novelists who are still learning about coming of age can only leave a sincere message on the forum;
"Actually, I really like Xun Ming's personality,"
Can I let Xun Ming laugh at me like this one day?"
…
Xi Yujin probably would never know what these novelists were thinking. He was just about to make his next move when the Materialistic Reading Club suddenly sent him an email.
"Materialism... defense meeting? Am I not just a writer?" Xi Yujin quickly read the email and felt a little troubled.
The essay contest of the Materialistic Reading Club has always required not only the popularity of the novel, but also the core of the novel to conform to their thoughts. Therefore, one of the items in the final is the academic defense.
Xi Yujin noticed that the email also came with a bank of related questions, saying it was a small token of his appreciation.
The headquarters of the Materialistic Reading Club is thousands of star systems away, providing technical, literary theory, and talent support to all branches. The reading club in the Pangshi star system is just a small branch, and has no right to change the schedule, so it can only go around the corner to give Xi Yujin the passcode.
Xi Yujin took a look at it, found it interesting, and modified his scheduled schedule.
The three court essay contests have come to the finals. It seems that the Flash Empire is the easiest and has the highest favorability among Xi Yujin. It didn't even ask Canghai to fill the hole immediately. Perhaps in the eyes of the Flash Clan, this delay is just a short nap. Readers are not so anxious about the speed of publishing physical books. Luxury goods always need to be polished slowly.
That Xi Yujin's plan can be further optimized.
He put on Canghai's vest and replied to Xun Ming.
Canghai: My liver is not moving anymore...
Canghai: Xun Ming, you are really awesome!
Readers reacted quickly and bluntly: "It's over. Xun Ming is really going to be arrogant for a while now. He defeated the ginseng spirit. Is this how the internal fight in the Blue Star literary world will be decided?"
"I used to think Xun Ming was not worthy of being included in the trio, but now I think Xun Ming is the strongest of the trio... Have you forgotten that he actually started out writing emotional novels? His melodramatic novels are the ones that break through the readers' imagination and are so good. I recommend all readers to read them. They are super sweet, even better than cool novels."
"So Xun Ming now has four pits, four different types. No one can match this achievement, right?"
Some readers who were waiting for Canghai to fill in the gaps thought that Canghai was the most normal of the three, praising Xun Ming so calmly. Have you forgotten how Xun Ming looked down on Blue Star novelists before?
"I don't know how Xun Ming will respond. He will probably frame Canghai's praise of him. I'm a little scared to read it. But I still have to say it a thousand times. Canghai's "The Tomb Code" is ten thousand times better!"
As a result, Xun Ming's response was beyond the expectations of all creatures.
Xun Ming: You are also very good
Canghai: No, no, no, it’s very difficult for me to fill a hole, and I’ve been staying in the small dark room recently.
Xun Ming: I should be in the small dark room next to you. This ember is too ruthless.
Canghai: Let's go out and play together after we get out. You can write so much and write so well. I have no inspiration recently. I am very happy and look forward to seeing your updates.
Xun Ming: Well, no, actually, your book "The Tomb Code" is very well written, incorporating a lot of folk culture, exploring underground tombs with words, and the uncertainty of life and death is interesting. You need to find more information to write a book than I do. Of course, I am not admitting that you are great, I am just saying that you don't need to do this. I always look down on any novelist, and I don't mean to target anyone in particular. You are... great in and of yourself.
Canghai: Wow
Xun Ming: I also bought your book, it’s nothing, I just bought it when I had some free time.
Readers from different IPs:
-Wow
-Wow-oh-
-If I admit now that I write badly, can Xun Ming praise me for my good writing? Waiting online, very urgent
- I didn't expect you to be so stubborn
-Canghai's praise is sincere. If it were me, I wouldn't scold him either.
Amidst a long series of readers’ memes, one reader noticed that a reply from Yongye seemed to have been swallowed up, so he quickly turned back to read it.
Yongye: I didn’t quit.
As if realizing that his reply was not noticeable, Yongye sent another one.
Yongye: It’s ridiculous, I didn’t quit.
Xun Ming: @Eternal Night, okay, let’s play another game.
Canghai: Hahaha @Yujin, if you don’t care I will just continue watching the show
Xi Yujin put on different vests and simulated the speaking tones of different personalities, which made their relationship change dramatically step by step. He needed attention and popularity. In the publicity, "a big guy wrote a good article" and "a big guy wrote a good article to diss his friend" can attract completely different attention.
With his deliberate promotion, many eyes gradually turned to the stage he built in cyberspace with his own hands.
It's time to pull out the pseudonym Yu Jin. Although this pseudonym mainly wrote inspirational stories before, it doesn't seem to be very high-end, but it doesn't matter, creating a character is a necessary skill for a novelist.
"But Yu Jin should not participate in too many interactions with other avatars." Xi Yu Jin carefully modified the subsequent dramatic dialogues. "After all, Yu Jin is more like me. Letting 'me' mix with a group of virtual images is a bit like playing cyber house in the interstellar era..."
The name "Yu Jin" is naturally different from other aliases. As Xi Yu Jin wrote, his emotions became more complicated.
Finally he put down his pen, covered his face and sighed:
"It's over. I feel so immature in my shoes."
He left the two typing machines to continue working diligently while he went out to relax.
Gano was also working diligently. The current translation version has two common words of the Pangshi Galaxy. Xi Yujin read some of the manuscripts. One language was as wild as a doctor's handwritten prescription, and the other language was made up of spots, which made people panic. He gave up the idea of learning these two languages. Because the nomadic language accommodates the languages of many nomads, it is simple and easy to learn, with free grammar. Any race can understand a little, and communication is more efficient.
When Jia Nuo saw him coming, his expression seemed to change. Xi Yujin thought that from the first time he met him till now, Jia Nuo's expression had become much richer.
Gano stopped writing and said, "Yu Jinnuo's workload has increased dramatically recently. Are you resting well?"
"I'm doing this." Xi Yujin handed over the manuscript of "House of Lies".
Ganuo took it and remembered the main content of this online article, a person made up many identities and played the whole world to his heart's content. Xi Yujin's best friend always thought of some unheard-of novel routines.
"It will be very busy next time." Xi Yujin said, "Thank you for accompanying me, Ganuo."
…
Xun Ming and Yong Ye started fighting again!
This time the two novelists seemed to be really angry with each other and there was no overt interaction anywhere.
Feiya Novel Network and Wuwu Library are supporting the two novelists respectively and doing their best to accumulate publicity resources.
It is said that they came from the same place, lived on the same spaceship, and were locked up in different small dark rooms to finish their manuscripts. No reader could explain why this literary fight started. It was clearly just a barrage of messages at the beginning. The two protagonists of the literary fight also talked about the outline of the new article. It was clear that the protagonist of the literary fight had reconciled with another novelist just a second ago.
Human nature is so complicated that it is impossible to see through it through the Star Network. The spectators looked at those seemingly plausible sentences, made wild associations, and wanted to find the person involved and question him face to face.
Xun Ming updates the story in a dancing style. He occasionally updates three chapters of "Chaos Wind" and then jumps to update "House of Lies". He even updates "Fairy Tale of Life and Death" a lot.
The plot of a cool story is always large. Even if many unnecessary side stories are deleted, the main text is still very long. "Fairy Tale Love" is coming to an end. To the surprise of many readers, Xiaoming and Lihua actually have a good ending. The two have overcome various obstacles along the way, and in the end they only need to break the window paper to be together. Readers follow Xun Ming's updates and read different stories. They feel like they are going to have a split personality, and they feel even more deeply that Xun Ming is amazing.
Yongye’s habit is to update a case, take a break, and then update another case.
With each case that unfolds, Mr. Zhong gets closer to Mr. Shi.
In the last case, Mr. Zhong came to the scene of a theft according to Mr. Shi's suggestion. A family's hard drive storing important data was missing, and member A was very anxious. Mr. Zhong proposed to search the spaceship that was about to be burned, but when he opened the door of the spaceship, a body fell out. The autopsy results showed that the person died a few days ago, but no one had entered the spaceship before, and no member of the family had died. Who was this body, and where was the missing hard drive?
The theft case turned into a murder case in a closed room, and the family was not very cooperative, thinking that the hard drive was more important than human life, and they lied many times. Mr. Zhong encountered many obstacles, and recalled the shadow of the "nursery rhyme murder case", which made him have a splitting headache. Fortunately, the sheriff arrived in time, and after a big fuss, he actually pulled out a new clue. The corpse had sent a blackmail letter to a family member C, demanding that he would not send the hard drive unless he paid money.
After assisting in the investigation, the police officer identified a notorious family member, Member B, as the murderer, and this person also confessed.
But Mr. Zhong was still worried, so he asked the sheriff to help him secretly ambush near the family and finally found evidence that two family members had contact with the deceased. He judged that this was a joint crime.
So he went on stage again, sorted out the evidence, and pointed the finger at one of the suspects, member C. The evidence was that Mr. Zhong had found the lost hard drive. After the police checked, they arrested member C.
At night, member A sneaked into the room where the evidence was stored and planned to exchange the hard drive he had obtained with the evidence hard drive. As a result, he was arrested by Mr. Zhong and the sheriff who were guarding there. Mr. Zhong pointed out that member A was the real murderer and the arrest of member C was just a cover.
It turned out that the hard drive contained confidential documents of a certain company. The deceased stole the hard drive and planned to sell it to the competitor of the company, that is, member A of this family. Member A wanted to buy it but didn't want to spend money. The deceased then found the notorious member B. Member B started fighting after a disagreement and knocked the deceased unconscious. Because he was too scared, he ran away. Member C saw this, took the hard drive from the deceased, and locked the deceased in the spaceship, deciding to let the other party and the spaceship burn together.
However, member A happened to come to the spaceship that was about to be burned, and found the dead man still breathing, so he killed him. Member A was the deadly murderer, but he couldn't find the hard drive, so he called the police and lied that he had lost the hard drive, so that the guy who stole the hard drive for the second time would not dare to act rashly. When Mr. Zhong was still staring at his house, member A simply forged a blackmail letter and pushed the crime onto member C.
When Mr. Zhong arrested member C, he took out a new hard drive, which made member A suspicious. Member A tried to steal the new hard drive and make a copy, but was caught red-handed.
The truth came out, but Mr. Zhong was not happy.
[Mr. Zhong: "I don't like to solve cases with lies. I don't want to become more and more like Mr. Shi."
Sheriff: "You are on the side of justice, why are you the same as your childhood friend?"
Mr. Zhong: "What if one day I am not on the side of justice?"
This "The Unknown Corpse Theft" does not have any amazing crime techniques, but the logical reasoning is very solid, and it feels different to read. Readers seem to have entered a logical maze, and are confused by Yongye's various interferences. In the end, Yongye himself draws a red line to point to the exit, telling everyone clearly that this is the truth.
Readers enjoy talking about the tricks in the book.
"This is truly a Yongye-style detective novel, with a distinct three-act truth structure. In the first act, the truth found by other investigators, represented by the sheriff, is usually false. In the second act, Yongye personally piles clues in front of the readers, trying his best to mislead them. In the third act, Yongye tells the final truth through Mr. Zhong, saying that the previous reasoning is all lies."
"I finally understand why Yongye and Xun Ming quarreled. Yongye's three-act style is a kind of showmanship. He must be a very proud novelist."
"I prefer cases with more obvious logic. I didn't dare to say it before, but the method used in "Children's Song Murder Case" is quite incredible, with some incomprehensible bugs, which gives people more of a shock to the soul."
"I have a vague feeling... there are so many genres of online literature, right? There are also some genres within detective novels?"
Detective novels were unheard of in this galaxy. Everyone was reading it for the first time, and they believed almost everything Yongye said. And few novelists followed suit. Even if there were, they were still in the learning stage, summarizing Yongye's writing techniques one by one. Those readers who made the most active guesses might become new detective novelists in the future.
"If there are genres within detective novels," a reader suddenly had an idea, "would there be a genre where readers and detectives start from the same starting line? I would also like to try to solve the case with all the clues in front of me, of course I'm just talking..."
“It felt hard to write.”
“It is impossible to imagine such literature.”
"Only Yongye is writing detective novels right now, maybe we can look forward to it."
"I guess I can only write about it after the follow-up comes out. It's impossible for Yongye to write about all the case routines, right?"
"It seems that Yongye's new case uses a new method?"
Readers occasionally discuss the classification of detective novels, but they are more looking forward to the content of Eternal Night's new cases.
Yongye updates frequently. This time, it didn’t take long to rest and a new case, “Assembly Poisoning Case,” came out immediately.
Mr. Shi continued to invite Mr. Zhong to the next crime scene, and Mr. Zhong arrived as promised.
The murder method was bizarre. The victim was poisoned and died in public during a gathering. Everyone was a witness and everyone was a suspect. After the autopsy, strange strangulation marks were found on the victim's body.
According to the testimony of the eyewitnesses, no one could be ruled out as a suspect. Mr. Zhong thought that Mr. Shi had actually gotten involved, so this must not be a simple case of poisoning, so he ignored the poison and started with the strangulation marks, simulating the strength and height of the person who made the strangulation marks.
Mr. Zhong questioned all the witnesses alone for the second time, and then gathered everyone at the crime scene and said that he had found the murderer.
And the murderer is everyone.
Everyone lied, creating a situation where "anyone is suspected and no one is innocent."
The deceased was a man of many crimes, but he was released after only five years in prison due to money transactions. But what about the children who were tortured by the deceased? Five years later, these children are not even adults, and they and their families will live in the shadow for the rest of their lives. So these relatives changed their appearances and ambushed the deceased for a year under the guidance of Mr. Shi, tricking him into coming to this gathering. That night, everyone strangled the deceased and forced him to drink poison, drinking the anger of revenge for these years.
They are certainly guilty, and if Mr. Zhong exposes them to the public, they will go to jail. The wealthy families behind the deceased can make their lives worse than death.
What should Mr. Zhong do?
Mr. Zhong, who has always upheld justice and vowed to clear the names of all the dead, hesitated at this moment.
Readers outside the book were also extremely worried.
In the end, Mr. Zhong left in silence, making this poison murder a "perfect crime." When he left, his shadow was very long.
[Mr. Zhong walked to the end of the corridor, and suddenly a familiar voice came:
"Hehe, hehe - another mystery has been solved, I'm so happy. Sometimes, we have to be the judge and the law enforcer. If there is no fair court, then we will just hammer the clapper ourselves."
It’s Mr. Shi.
"I'll wait for you at the next scene..."
"Bang!"
A gunshot stopped Mr. Shi's speech. The sheriff, who arrived late, shot and smashed the phonograph next to Mr. Zhong.
"I'm fine." Mr. Zhong said, "Let's leave."】
After the end of "Assembly Poisoning Case", readers not only lamented that Yongye had developed a new method of collective crime, but also explored the relationship between the protagonists. Mr. Zhong's image became more three-dimensional in each case. He always silently observed clues, abided by various morals, and occasionally had a headache because of the shadow of the past. Readers have been following it for so long that they have unknowingly developed feelings for it.
"Wow, is Mr. Shi too strong? Mr. Zhong's mental state is getting worse and worse. I'm so worried. Fortunately, the sheriff is here. The two of them have been partners since the first case, and they must be fine by the end! I have forgiven the sheriff for always misleading me."
"The sheriff is clearly telling you that the suspect is not the murderer."
"Mr. Zhong and Mr. Shi are inextricably linked, and I look forward to their final showdown."
Some readers recalled that when Xun Ming wrote the outline for Yong Ye, he wrote the ending in which Mr. Shi and Mr. Zhong both died. At that time, readers did not have deep feelings for these two novelists, and just talked about this matter occasionally.
But now when I think of it, I suddenly wake up in the middle of the night with cold sweats pouring down my face...
Or, for the sake of the readers, Yongye should not reconcile with Xun Ming?
Most of the new readers did not understand the concerns of this small group of readers, and shouted that the two sides should fight! They also went to Xun Ming to add fuel to the fire, and their original intention was just to ask Xun Ming to update more.
Xun Ming has indeed been updated a lot.
But he has opened a new hole!
Xun Ming: Filling in the blanks is not my strong point. I heard that someone has a lot of innovative routines in his cases, so here is "The Million Gods Gamble". What is the routine of writing a cool story to the extreme? It's mine.
As a kind of fast-moving entertainment product, the ultimate core of online literature must be to get something for nothing.
