Chapter 16 The Current Situation of the Literary Circle
No matter how much Gu Wenzhou likes to act cool and profound, he is still just a 15-year-old boy after all.
He was originally quite confident in his gaming skills. After all, he could use this skill to make money by playing games for others.
However, today, when he saw his sister's awesome "Ghost Blade" killing everyone in the Glory Peak Thousand Division, he was really shocked.
Originally, he always thought that Gu Qingge was ordinary and unremarkable in every aspect, even in terms of appearance. As a younger brother who grew up following his sister, he was used to it and immune to it.
Gu Wenzhou felt that as such an ordinary sister, his smarter brother had to help her in return.
He never had any idea that his parents favored his sister. In fact, he also favored her too, so almost half of the money he earned from playing for her was transferred to his sister in the name of his parents.
It’s just that the stupid sister didn’t realize the truth at all.
At this moment, he seemed to have gotten to know his sister all over again, and was even happy that he and his sister had a common hobby.
He did not delve into why his sister had changed so much, nor did he have the wild idea that his sister had a real soul in her body, and it was just an empty shell before.
He had been keeping his thoughts to himself, and even though he made money by playing games for others, he didn't dare to say anything because his parents had very traditional and conservative ideas. They hoped that he would study hard, play games and become a professional player, but they definitely would not agree.
In fact, when Gu Qingge wanted to apply to an art university, her family had a lot of resistance. If it weren't for the fact that her grades were really average and her physique was so good, her parents would probably still oppose it.
"Sister, I want to tell you something." Gu Wenzhou said solemnly.
Gu Qingge had already minimized the game client, then opened the browser and went to "Qidian.com".
"Go ahead, little brother." Gu Qingge said casually.
For a proud and arrogant brother like Cou, you have to subdue him in the areas he is best at before he will obey you.
"I want to play professionally. Since you also play Heroes of Glory, you should know what it means that I can reach the top of the Glory rank with a 77% win rate." Gu Wenzhou's tone was full of pride.
"Is this a difficult thing? Why are you so proud?" Gu Qingge attacked him mercilessly.
Gu Wenzhou was immediately upset. His sister had just slaughtered a group of people with Phantom Blade. Maybe this hero was her special skill. So he was not convinced again: "Sister, how about we have a few one-on-one duels sometime?"
Gu Qingge smiled. "Haha, sure. I'll tell you the truth. You're pretty proficient in this game right now. If you were to go pro, you could be a second- or third-rate pro. Is that your goal?"
Gu Wenzhou said firmly, "Of course not. I want to become the best professional player, lead my team to win China's first S-League title, and break South Korea's dominance of this game. Restoring the glory of Chinese esports is our responsibility!"
In this parallel world, "Honor of Kings" has just reached the S5 season, but since the S2 season, the South Korean team has always won the championship.
Chinese e-sports is actually quite strong, but it just failed in the game "Honor of Kings", as if South Koreans are naturally better at this game.
In China's current "Heroes of Glory" domestic league, many teams have foreign players from South Korea, because this is the only way to achieve good results.
Hearing Gu Wenzhou's words, Gu Qingge's expression was subtle, mainly because she was a little familiar with the phrase "It is our duty to rebuild the glory of XX", but it was a pity that the person who said this and realized it was not a Chinese.
"You, my little brother, are quite ambitious. In that case, you should listen to your sister and practice your skills. If you are in a hurry to become a professional now, you can only be a youth trainee and play in the secondary league." Gu Qingge said lightly.
"Isn't this what should be done? They say we should play in the secondary league first to build up our professional awareness." Gu Wenzhou asked doubtfully.
"The truly top professional players all shine right from their debut in the top leagues. Now that there's no requirement to play a certain number of games in the secondary leagues before making a top-tier appearance, then strive to debut directly in the top league. Anyway, don't rush into professional football just yet. Follow my instructions for everything."
Gu Qingge's arbitrary and unquestionable look immediately stunned Gu Wenzhou, making him subconsciously choose to listen to his sister.
Anyway, what made Gu Wenzhou feel relieved was that at least his sister did not object to his professional career and seemed to be giving him advice. This made him feel at ease, after all, he had the support of his family.
At this time, Gu Qingge finally turned his attention to "Qidian.com" to see what kind of online literature was popular in this world.
After clicking on a few of the top-ranked online novels and browsing the beginnings, she couldn't help but frown, simply because the quality of their writing was really disappointing.
It turns out that because the publishing industry in China is very relaxed and developed and there is no piracy, many talented authors have started to publish physical books. Even many excellent authors who started out writing online articles have been poached by editors of physical books.
The physical book market is flourishing, with all kinds of exciting literature popular and various awards being given out. It is collectively referred to as the popular literature circle, which is distinguished from pure literature.
The most influential award in China's popular literature circle is the "Qiu Tian Award", and the most influential award for pure literature is the "Beichuan Award".
Qiu Tian and Beichuan were both famous writers in the history of China in this world, and are no longer alive.
However, Qiu Tian's popular novels are still being adapted into various film and television dramas, and Beichuan's sharp and satirical essays have been included in Chinese textbooks.
Therefore, online literature is actually a very niche genre in this world, and is almost entirely written by amateur authors or pure new authors who write casually.
New talents who are truly confident in themselves will directly submit their works to the "Newcomer Award" and "Monthly Award" that are given out almost every month in physical magazines, and will not waste time writing online articles.
Gu Qingge originally thought that the online novels in this world also had the influence of the original world, but the result was like this?
"Qidian.com" is even a subsidiary of Qidian Publishing House, and it is a way for the publishing house to discover new talents.
Excellent online articles on "Qidian.com" will be published in the popular fantasy novel magazine "Qidian", so that the authors can receive royalties.
After Gu Qingge roughly understood the current situation of online literature, he felt that his original plan to write shit-feeding novels had failed, because there were too few readers online and he couldn't cheat anyone at all.
So she decided to write a popular and best-selling novel as her debut work, so that she could make her name with her new pen name "Nan Gezi".
