Chapter 69: Lin Family's Wishful Thinking
Chapter 69
Before "Cooking Food" topped the gold list, the most popular topic in the online literature section was the "sadomasochistic" series vigorously promoted by Knicks. However, as "Cooking Food" and "Infinite World" became popular one after another, readers' tastes gradually changed from abuse to pleasure.
During the serialization of "Cooking Food", the changes were not very clear, but by the time "Infinite World" was completed, the Jinbang had almost achieved a big change - first, the subject matter became more diversified, and secondly, many authors might not write about food and infinite flow themes, but the hearty plot and refreshing rhythm have become the common points of many Jinbang works.
In other words, teriyaki chicken drumsticks changed readers' tastes.
But now, teriyaki chicken legs are not to the readers' taste - judging from the current plot of "Palace Concubine", the word "cool" is not reflected at all.
[I have a feeling Shen Fangyi is going to make a big move.] 】
[Among the supporting characters, the ones with a relatively strong presence now are Concubine Xi and Concubine Wang. Many other characters rarely appear. It feels like Teriyaki Chicken Legs is playing a big game. According to my estimation, the length of "Palace Concubine" should not be too short. 】
The launch of "Palace Concubine" was very quiet, with only enough advertising pages reserved in the online literature section and a small amount of publicity in the novel discussion area of Star Network - the competitors were calm, so Carving Entertainment did not need to put too much effort.
In fact, before Qiao Da came out of nowhere, the publicity of online writers was relatively low-key. The authors wrote quietly and the readers read quietly. Competition existed but it was not fierce and complicated, unlike later when the authors would fight each other to the point of bloodshed.
After Qiao Da became obscure, the online literature section enjoyed a rare period of peace.
Although the data of "Palace Concubine" is not as good as that of "Infinite World", the value of the name "Teriyaki Chicken Legs" is well-known in the online literature section.
Therefore, more people are paying attention to "Palace Concubines" than expected.
"Palace Concubine" is a brand-new subject. It is still in its free period, but both the author and the readers can glimpse more possibilities from the tip of the iceberg it reveals.
Apart from the fact that the heroine is not strong enough at the moment, what else is missing from "Palace Concubine"?
If you count them carefully, "Palace Concubine" has far fewer shortcomings than you might imagine.
…
For Lin Shu, this is also the most comfortable listing since he registered as an online author. There are still voices that are pessimistic about "Palace Concubine", but given that "Cooking Food" and "Infinite World" have turned around so quickly, no one dares to make a conclusion about "Palace Concubine" too early.
"Infinite World" has been completed for a long time, but it is still ranked very high on the gold list.
Especially after the news of the game production came out, many players came to read the article specifically to sort out the plot.
When it comes to drainage, teriyaki chicken legs are recognized as strong.
It is still unknown whether "Palace Concubine" can attract traffic at the moment, but with the unique talent of teriyaki chicken legs, it may really be able to attract subscriptions from some corner.
Lin Shu himself is not particularly worried. The pace of "Palace Concubine" is not fast and it is a bit slow. The plot has not yet reached the real climax. Once the pace picks up, readers will naturally read it.
In order to conceive the paid chapters, Lin Shu did not go out for several days. Whenever he had free time, he thought about where to lay the foreshadowing and where to set the climax. He only occasionally read other works to relax.
When writing a night banquet scene, Lin Shu suddenly ran into a writer’s block.
In one scene, he has to portray the emotions of the emperor, harem, eunuchs, palace maids... and many other characters at the same time, and assign appropriate lines to them.
The concubines have different appearances, different attire, and different personalities. When setting the setting, Lin Shu found it difficult to make all the characters appear in the same scene and achieve the results he wanted. In fact, this chapter was more difficult to write than he imagined.
Some characters are leaving, while others are making their grand entrance.
After finishing this part of the story, Lin Shu felt that a lot of his hair had fallen out.
He deliberately turned off his communications and didn't even contact Cheese Bean, for fear that his attention would be distracted and the plot he wrote would be incoherent.
After the communication was restored, Lin Shu discovered that Cheese Bean did not contact him. The other party should also know that he was writing paid chapters. Instead, the account that contacted him the most was an unfamiliar account.
But Lin Shu soon realized that this account was actually... not unfamiliar.
After several unsuccessful attempts to contact Lin Shu, the other party sent him a message:
"I'm Lin Bo, I need help from you."
Lin Shu only took a glance and then forgot about the other party's request.
During the writing process, Lin Shu refused any contact that would cause him emotional fluctuations. Although the Lin family no longer had any influence on him, Lin Shu was worried that he might accidentally create a character similar to Lin Bo.
But "Palace Concubine" did not leave room for Lin Bo.
…
"No one answered?"
Lin Bo nodded slightly.
Zhang Mei then put on a gloating expression: "He has already declined the offer, how could he possibly care about you?"
Last time, Zhang Mei thought that since Lin Shu and Xie Jue appeared in the same shopping mall, they might know each other, but no one in the Lin family listened to her.
After General Mu stopped paying attention to her, Zhang Mei returned to the Central District. Just a few days after her return, she saw Lin Shu and Xie Jue appearing on the hot searches in a swaggering manner.
It would have been fine if these two people showed up, but the Lin family was ridiculed because of it.
There are all kinds of opinions!
It is said that the Lin family took Lin Yuzhou back for his identity as a healer. Not to mention the dignity of a healer himself, Lin Yuzhou is young and can take the opportunity to get close to the upper-class family of the Emperor's Planet.
But now, the value of a healer is not that high. The government and the military don’t even like to mention healers in their reports. The Lin family’s plan failed.
It was also said that the Lin family wanted to get Lin Yuzhou on board but declined, but Lin Yuzhou failed and Lin Shu succeeded instead!
[This is just a waste of time!] 】
The Lin family was so angry that they tacitly agreed not to mention Lin Shu's name, but one day, Lin Bo suddenly started contacting Lin Shu.
But he failed to contact Lin Shu once, so he could only send Lin Shu a message first.
Lin Bo did not give up and continued to contact Lin Shu. This time the call was finally connected and a hint of joy flashed across his face.
After a few seconds, Lin Bo's expression turned from sunny to cloudy.
Lin Shu actually hung up the phone directly!
"He has grown wings now and thinks he is different from others." Zhang Mei snorted coldly, "He has never thought that even if he has a good relationship with Xie Jue, he has nothing. He is an orphan. Why would Marshal Xie and his wife accept him?"
Zhang Mei remembered very clearly that when the scandal between Xie Jue and Lin Yuzhou first spread on Starnet, Marshal Xie and his wife came out to explain it very early.
When Zhang Mei said this, Lin Yuzhou's eyes flashed slightly, but he has always been low-key in the Lin family, so no one noticed it.
"He might think you want to harm him." Zhang Mei continued, "The Lin family is willing to accept him again. At least he won't go out without a name."
If Lin Shu is willing to return to the Lin family, according to Lin Bo's plan, the Lin family is even willing to give him the house in Dixing and the company's shares. Lin Bo can even grit his teeth and give up the Lin family's manor in the suburbs.
Zhang Mei was of course unwilling, but for the future development of the Lin family, she had to make concessions with pain.
But Lin Shu refused to answer the call?
A long time ago, Zhang Mei felt that Lin Shu was not as good as Lin Bo. Ever since she knew that Lin Shu was not her biological son, Zhang Mei wanted to kick Lin Shu away when she thought about how much resources of the Lin family Lin Shu had wasted over the years.
The Lin family has raised Lin Shu for so many years, shouldn't Lin Shu give back?
How dare he not even answer the call?
"We don't have to think too much. With Lin Shu, who knows if he will be dumped by Xie Jue one day? The matter has not been finalized yet, so why should we cling to him?" Zhang Mei said, "Do you really think Xie Jue would be interested in someone like Lin Shu?"
"Yuzhou is so much better than Lin Shu, but he didn't refuse..." Zhang Mei knew she had said something wrong and stopped talking halfway.
Lin Yuzhou smiled slightly and didn't care.
Lin Bo felt that what Zhang Mei said made sense. If possible, he naturally did not want to pin his hopes on outsiders, but wanted to rely on the Lin family itself to reverse the current decline.
However, his expectations were high, but the reality was far from satisfactory.
The reason why the Lin family was able to create a career in Emperor Star was, firstly, that people were made by the times, and secondly, the Lin family's backer was still there. With the other party's words, the Lin family had fewer troubles in the business world and was able to get a lot of inside information.
The person behind the scenes was actually the connections of Zhang Mei's father and Lin Bo's grandfather, so even though Zhang Mei got into a lot of trouble, Lin Youyuan and Lin Bo could tolerate her.
Although the backstage person is gone, Lin Bo's grandfather is still around. He can't help much with big things, but he can have a say in small matters.
"Let's wait and see. It would be better to contact Lin Shu."
No matter what will happen to Lin Shu and Xie Jue in the future, Lin Shu is now clearly one of the channels of communication with Xie Jue - since the Xie family made a public statement, all contact between the Lin family and the Xie family has been cut off.
The reason why the Lin family is facing difficulties is also related to the attitude of the Xie family.
It might be hard to convince him to refuse, but Lin Shu... based on their understanding, he was not a difficult person to talk to.
Even in Lin Bo's eyes, even if Lin Shu successfully "hooked up" with Xie Jue, it must be that Lin Shu used some trick and the two would still separate.
He kept looking down at Lin Shu.
Since childhood, Lin Bo has always looked down on Lin Shu, thinking he was stupid, and even didn't want to admit that Lin Shu was his younger brother. The contempt lasted for too long, so he was also looking forward to "hooking up" with Xie Jue. Lin Yuzhou and Xie Jue were the match of a healer and a rising star in the military, and Lin Shu had to resort to shameful means.
Unless you are crazy, you will regard Lin Shu as your lover.
Of course, some superficial work still had to be done - not long after, Zhang Mei's account posted a photo of the Lin family. Of course, Lin Yuzhou was not included in the photo.
[…Forget it. My words may sound harsh, so I won’t say any more for now.] 】
[Hahahaha, didn’t you say before that Lin Shu was a poor bastard? How come they are in love again? 】
[…Why didn’t you use this family’s face when filling the soil to build the star? I feel like I can go to the next abyss galaxy without taking a spaceship just by stepping on this family’s face. 】
[It's so funny. There's always one missing from the four. Either this one or that one is missing. Lin Yuzhou and Lin Shu can't appear on screen at the same time. 】
Lin Shu also noticed the photo on the hot search, but he was busy writing and didn't care about Zhang Mei's family impact at all.
Xie Jue, who had been on vacation at home, approached Lin Shu silently: "I want to see your childhood photos."
Lin Shu: “…”
Why does this person have such a long vacation?
He declined, saying that he was a patient and had been abused while working for the military, and the military should give him a long vacation as compensation.
Lin Shu glanced at him.
Is this the reason why you keep busy every day in your pajamas, visiting friends, playing with bears, and walking the dog?
