Chapter 189 Opponent
After Gu Qingge sent out the 20,000-word update, readers who had already fallen in love with "The Great Ruler" were immediately excited!
"Teacher [Nan Gezi]'s update is so awesome! He updates as much in one day as others do in a week!"
"It was so enjoyable to read. I feel this book will be a hit if it can keep updating like this."
"Are you dreaming of eating peaches? And you're still updating like this? This is obviously a saved draft from Teacher [Nan Gezi]. He definitely can't keep up the pace!"
"Isn't this book already a hit? Teacher [Nan Gezi] can handle any subject matter!"
"I absolutely love this update! I'm voting and giving tips. I hope [Nan Gezi] can continue to maintain this level of length and endurance!"
…
In addition to these excited readers, there are of course fellow authors in the industry who are also quietly paying attention to Nan Gezi's new fantasy work "The Great Ruler".
For example, the super rookie king [Tianyu Wuheng] who is serializing "Sword Cutting the Eight Desolations" in "Tianhuo" magazine.
This author, who is very good at writing fantasy and fairy tales, is named Zhao Heng and is only 25 years old this year.
When he was in college, he loved reading martial arts, fantasy, and fairy tales. The more he read, the more he felt he was out of books to read. He even posted a message on a book recommendation forum to criticize the books. However, he was ridiculed by other readers of the books, who said, "If you like it, read it. If you don't, get out. If you can do it, go ahead. If you can't, don't talk."
Zhao Heng was so angry that he actually went up himself.
So, he simply wrote a short fantasy novel and submitted it to the "Newcomer Award" of "Skyfire", and unexpectedly won the gold award.
Later, he wrote his first long serial work "Rebirth of the Strongest Martial Emperor", which created the so-called "rebirth of the strong" trend and sold very well.
In this way, he won the Rookie of the Year award of Skyfire magazine. As a newcomer, the popularity of his works surpassed many famous authors, so he also had the title of "Super Rookie of the Year".
He was a person who enjoyed settling scores, so he went back to the book recommendation forum and dug up his own posts to refute them. This made him realize his mistake.
Zhao Heng later realized that he was actually quite talented in writing fantasy and fairy tales.
His character of taking pleasure in revenge indeed makes him a natural writer of cool stories.
Moreover, he types quite fast. When he was serializing in magazines, he was somewhat dissatisfied with the fact that he only had to submit 20,000 words each time per week.
You should know that the author's royalties are naturally related to the number of words. The more words the manuscript has, the more royalties he can get.
However, when writing a serial for a magazine, there is of course a limit to the number of words that can be submitted. After all, the magazine also has works by other authors, and it cannot publish only the works of Zhao Heng.
In such a situation, the strong rise of "Qidian.com" after its change of ownership and revision naturally attracted Zhao Heng's attention.
He thinks that the VIP charging system of "Qidian.com" is very good, and he can update as much as he wants on "Qidian.com" without any word limit.
"Perhaps this 'Qidian.com' is more suitable for authors like me who type fast." Zhao Heng thought.
When Zhao Heng paid attention to "Qidian.com", Nan Gezi's "Those Years" was all the rage on the Internet.
Zhao Heng has never been interested in youth. Although there are female protagonists in the fantasy fairy tales he wrote, they are all single female protagonists, and the female protagonists are all tools, basically used to attract hatred for the male protagonist or to facilitate the male protagonist to change maps.
However, what made Zhao Heng more envious was that "Those Years" was announced to be adapted into a movie shortly after it was completed.
Qidian.com also vigorously promoted this, saying that its website operation copyright and IP capabilities are particularly strong, and that it has received investment from Tencent. If there are works suitable for adaptation into games in the future, its game adaptation copyright will be very easy to sell.
This kind of publicity made Zhao Heng excited.
Then he also discovered that although "Qidian.com" had purchased the electronic copyrights of many works and enriched its library, it really did not have any top authors in the field of fantasy and immortal heroes.
Obviously, those veteran fantasy writers who have already made a name for themselves in magazines will not easily give up their base. At most, they will sell the electronic copyright to "Qidian.com" and simply regard it as an additional source of income.
Zhao Heng was also hesitating whether he should take advantage of the opportunity that "Qidian.com" did not have any top authors of fantasy and fairy tale themes to test the waters on "Qidian.com".
It was in this situation that "The Great Ruler" came into being!
Zhao Heng never thought that [Nan Gezi], who had just written a youth story in his previous book, would dare to try the theme of fantasy and fairy tales.
He originally went to watch Nan Gezi's "The Great Ruler" with a strong sense of superiority, because he didn't think the other party could write a good work by rashly trying this subject.
As time went by, even he, an author who is very good at fantasy and fairy tale themes, became fascinated by it!
Of course, Zhao Heng has also watched the TV series "The Twins of the Immortal World". This drama is a masterpiece in his mind, especially the role played by Gu Qingge, which he likes very much. He even wants to write this role into his own novel and let her be the heroine.
However, Zhao Heng did not expect that this [Nan Gezi] was even faster than him. It can only be said that he, Zhao Heng, was not licked enough.
When it comes to licking Gu Qingge, no one is better than [Nan Gezi]!
Zhao Heng also noticed the amount of updates to "The Great Ruler" that day, but he did not make a fuss like those ordinary readers.
In Zhao Heng's opinion, [Nan Gezi] must have some drafts saved. Publishing 20,000 words a day is nothing at all. If he has the ability, he can really write 20,000 words a day and publish another 20,000 words.
Zhao Heng is quite confident in his typing speed. He can write 20,000 words a day, but it's okay to have an occasional burst of writing. But it's naturally impossible for him to write like this every day.
He felt that [Nan Gezi] definitely couldn't do it!
After Zhao Heng finished watching "The Great Ruler" in one breath, he felt that he was also stimulated and inspired, and he suddenly had the idea of "double opening".
Anyway, his magazine article "Sword Cutting the Eight Desolations" does not require him to update it very much. The editor even hopes that he will write slower and strive for perfection.
Zhao Heng was simply too tired to complain about this. What the hell was the point of striving for perfection? All he wrote was fast-food, satisfying writing that made both himself and the readers happy. He had never had any literary pursuits.
Inspired by [Nan Gezi], Zhao Heng directly registered an author account on "Qidian.com". His new pen name is very down-to-earth, it is called [I love eating tomatoes and potatoes]!
He feels that only in the field of online literature can he fully unleash his passion!
The new book "Wu Po Cang Qiong" has been uploaded, aiming at "Zhan Tian"!
[Nan Gezi], let's have a passionate battle between men...
I don't believe your update will be better than mine!
