The young guard stepped forward, dressed in camouflage combat uniform, standing in front of the old man with high spirits. He saluted with a sunny face and said hello: "Hello, old commander, guard Zhang Xiaolong sends his greetings. I have read all these books, so let me introduce them to you."
"Hey, it's you, kid! Okay, then introduce him to me." When people get older, they like energetic and cheerful children.
"Yes, please wait a moment." Zhang Xiaolong put down a pile of books and quickly pulled out a finely crafted tome from the pile. "This book is called 'The Immortal Supports the Head', and it's one of the most popular immortal cultivation novels right now. However, this book was written in 2009 by the author Xiao Yuer, who was a sophomore in high school. At the time, the immortal cultivation world depicted and constructed in this book was absolutely novel. It can be said to have pioneered the immortal cultivation novels of the time, and also established this book's status as one of the originators of immortal cultivation novels.
Therefore, this book is also Xiaoyuer's first representative work.
This book tells the story of a Huaqing history PhD student who, while restoring ancient artifacts in a museum with his professor, is injured by a strange ancient toxin. His body then melts and he travels to a world of immortal cultivation. Although he's in this world, because he's of the lower class, the cultivation techniques are as difficult for him as it would be for an ordinary person to access the rare and precious books in the emperor's study.
"...But fortunately, my doctoral degree was in Taoist culture. Therefore, he created a manual for his own cultivation, and luckily, it was successful.
The techniques described in the book have been authenticated by some Daoist authorities and are said to be genuine Daoist cultivation techniques. Even the talismans mentioned in the book are genuine Daoist talismans.
…
Because it touches on many aspects of ancient Chinese culture and conjectures about human civilization, this book is more profound and insightful than other immortal cultivation novels! It is said that this book alone generated hundreds of millions in revenue for the Qimingxing website at the time.
"Hundreds of millions?" Wang Dazhu looked at the guard Zhang Xiaolong. "Are you bragging? Can a novel really generate hundreds of millions?"
Zhang Xiaolong glanced at him and said proudly, "Commander, this is still a conservative estimate. Do you know how popular this book was when it came out? It's said that the first edition sold out in less than an hour. It was unavailable in many places.
There was even a news story at the time about someone who had actually mastered the physical training techniques described in this article. A traditional martial arts inheritor even claimed the technique, saying it was a fusion of several traditional martial arts techniques. He praised the author's talent and said the technique could be widely adopted.
By the way, the recipes mentioned in the novel are said to have been certified by many Chinese medicine practitioners."
The old man was so excited when he heard that Xiao Yu's book was actually recognized by the orthodox school that he reached out and pushed Wang Dazhu aside: "Go away, go away, don't waste my time. Xiaolong, you continue. I'm waiting to hear the whole thing and recommend it to other old guys tomorrow."
Wang Dazhu: ...You really have some ideas! Other leaders may not like them!
"Okay, Chief." Zhang Xiaolong continued with great energy, "Xiao Yu'er spent over a year writing the first book, totaling over three million words. Although the number of words is large, it contains the essence. Personally, I think it is really good."
"Xiao Yu'er's second novel is also his representative work. It was published during the summer after he graduated from high school. It's called 'Earth Reinvention,' and it's hailed as a cross-century, epic science fiction novel." Zhang Xiaolong was clearly a little excited when he spoke here, but he tried hard to suppress his excitement and continued, "The book tells the story of a college student who is unemployed upon graduation. Unable to find a job, he has to return home to inherit his grandfather's dilapidated house. Just as he is about to rely on farming to make a living, he accidentally enters another world through his own cellar. And that world is actually the real Earth. There, technology has already connected with the universe.
...This classmate, by picking up garbage, brought the technology of the real Earth world to his own world and established his own technological empire.
This book has even been voted the most patriotic novel by netizens. This is because the protagonist, upon discovering that he can actually bring back technology and develop it, immediately surrenders himself to the nation. The reason is that he is the only one who can cross the world barrier.
When this book came out, it was noticed by the higher-ups because it involved some confidential scientific and technological issues, and updates were suspended for a month.
"This kid wrote a novel and even alarmed the higher-ups?" Wang Dazhu was shocked again.
The old man also sat up straight with excitement, his eyes shining: "Tell me quickly. I really like this little guy more and more."
Zhang Xiaolong nodded heavily, looking proud of being a book fan. "That's right. As long as you read his books, there's nothing you can't like about him."
The reason for the alarm was that drone technology and chip technology are both urgent issues we need to address. Xiao Yuer wrote about this in his novel, including some supposedly core technology details. This was reportedly verified. However, he was probably warned not to discuss core technology analysis regarding AI, quantum computers, and so on.
"Core technology, and analysis? How did he know that?" Wang Dazhu was incredulous. These core technologies were still being researched in other countries, and even if this guy was a J-spy, there was no way he could know that.
Zhang Xiaolong frowned. "It's said to be a fabrication, a dream. When the higher-ups were investigating him, they took his notes. It's said that when Xiaoyuer was writing novels, he sometimes got really obsessed. Not only would he stay up all night, but after a few days in a row, he'd just go to sleep like crazy. And then, probably, whatever he thought about during the day, he'd dream about it at night, and the first thing he'd do when he woke up was write down what he'd dreamt about."
