After being defeated by Qingmei, I became a top player

Qingyu ignored those who came to ask him if he was the editor of Mu Linsen after the classical Chinese version of "Journey to the West" was released.

After last night, he knew which people were useless to socialize with and which ones were worth making friends with.

Of course, this is also because Qingyu doesn’t have time to respond.

There are still hundreds of thousands of words in the vernacular version of Journey to the West that need him to proofread, and he enjoys this job.

I was even so busy that I didn't have time to pay attention to the authors of the books I signed.

Muzi Li is one of the authors of Qingyuqian.

Mu Zili was approached by Qingyu at that time.

When he learned that Qingyu had changed his job and his old book was just in the final stage, he agreed to Qingyu's request.

But who would have thought that just two days after giving the new book to Qingyu, Qingyu started to remain silent.

Even if he replies sometimes, it is always very late, and it is never as high as before, when he would reply within five minutes.

Muzi Li once thought that he was being abandoned as soon as the book was signed.

For this reason, Muzi Li also complained in various author groups.

It is not kind to say that Qingyu is not kind.

He said that Qingyu was a man who could not write books under his guidance.

At that time, many people in the group asked about the whole story and felt very sympathetic towards Muzilii.

We are all novelists, and we know that every novel is the result of our hard work, so we naturally hope to get more attention.

But suddenly this attention disappeared, and I was backstabbed by an editor I thought was good. This is a little hard to accept.

Because of this, Muzi Li was depressed for several days and hurriedly finished the old book.

But today, just after I confronted Qingyu and said I didn’t want to write the new book anymore.

The ancient Chinese version of "Journey to the West" is now available.

When he saw the word "Qingyu" in the editor's column, the first thing Mu Zili did was to withdraw the message he had sent out.

Unfortunately, three minutes had already passed and I couldn't go back.

There has never been a time when Muzi Li hoped so much that Qingyu's network was bad and the message was leaked.

Unfortunately, this kind of thing never happened to him.

Half an hour later, Qingyu replied.

"Are you having any difficulties? If so, I can help you. You can tell me and we can solve it together. After all, it's not easy to open a new book."

When Mu Zilii saw Qingyu's words, he almost cried.

"Thank you for your encouragement, Mr. Qingyu. I just thought about it again and decided not to cut it."

Mu Zili said as if he had finally come to his senses.

"Oh? That's great. Please keep updating more in the future. Mu Da has recently published a book, so the traffic must be a bit higher. I happen to have few people under me, so I can still give you some recommendations."

"But I've been a bit busy lately, so I may not be able to reply in time. If you have anything to say, please leave a message. If you're in a hurry, just call me. You also have my phone number."

After reading it, Muzi Li felt ashamed.

For the first time, he felt that his thoughts were a little despicable.

"Got it, Master Qingyu, I will continue writing well."

After Muzi Li finished chatting with Qingyu, he clicked on several other author groups.

At this time, there were already 999+ messages in the group, and among these messages, many of them were @him.

Muzi Li knows what those @him are saying without even looking at it.

After thinking for a long time, Muzili didn't know what to say. After thinking for a while, he directly sent out the screenshot of the chat between Qingyu and him.

The last caption reads: "I am too mean, Master Qingyu, you are the God forever!"

"If anyone has a new book that needs to be contributed, you can send it directly to Qingyu's email address. If you don't mind, I can also help convey the manuscript."

As soon as this sentence came out, the group exploded.

"Fuck, I want you, Brother Li, to help me submit my manuscript. I want to have the same editor as Mu Da!"

"I want one too. I want one too. I've been working on this new book for a year. I'm handing it over to Master Qingyu this time!"

"Qingyu is such a good editor. Not only does he not look down on other authors just because he is Mu's editor, but he also comes out to discuss solutions when other authors want to cut their books."

"He really made me cry to death!"

When Mu Zili saw that he had brought so many authors to Qingyu, the sadness in his heart was relieved a lot.

After thinking about it, he added another sentence.

"Don't worry, everyone. Qingyu should be busy with Mu's new book recently, so wait a minute. I'll contact you after I ask Qingyu when he's free!"

After saying that, a bunch of "awesome" and "thank you" were sent out.

At the same time, several other authors under Qingyu were also showing off in different groups.

There is not too much frills, you just need to show a screenshot of your Wanguwenxue.com writer background in the group and let others see that the name in the editor column is Qingyu, and you can gain a lot of "big guys" and "awesome".

……

The events in the writers' group are just small joys within the circle.

Outside the writer's circle, the picture is quite different.

The comment section of the classical Chinese version of "Journey to the West" has changed from "expectation" and "quick post" in the beginning to a screen full of question marks now.

"Who can tell me what this novel by Mu Da is about?"

"See for yourself what was said!"

"My friend upstairs, I don't know if he saw it, but you definitely didn't."

“This book is so well written!”

"Tell me more about it upstairs. What's the good thing about it?"

"Fortunately, ordinary people can't understand it, and those who can understand it are not ordinary."

"…You are so cultured!"

What Chen Shuangxue expected happened. Most people could not understand the ancient Chinese version of "Journey to the West".

But it is precisely because of this incomprehensible nature that the popularity of Mu Linsen’s new book has reached a new level.

When someone posted a group of photos online, the new topic about the new book became hot.

The first photo shows a middle-aged man wearing glasses, looking at a computer screen while pretending to flip through a dictionary.

The second chapter is a picture taken of the screen, which shows the first page of the classical Chinese version of "Journey to the West".

The third and fourth photos are almost the same, both contain the content of the first chapter of Journey to the West.

The only difference is that the time in the lower right corner of the third computer is 22:00, and the time in the lower right corner of the fourth computer is 23:00.

For a full hour, the middle-aged man was still reading the first chapter.

So, a topic appeared on the hot search.

[Today, have you read "Journey to the West" by looking up the dictionary? ]

Under this topic, most people are not chatting, but posting pictures.

All the pictures are screenshots of "Journey to the West".

Some are chapter one, some are chapter three.

Whenever a screenshot of Chapter 5 comes out, I’ll be addressed as “big boss”.

You have to know that it has only been two hours since the book was published.

Anyone who can read Chapter 5 in two hours is either a big shot or a pretentious person.

Although some people doubted its authenticity, most people did not delve too deeply into it.

It wasn't until someone posted a screenshot of Chapter 20 that it aroused public outrage.

"Why are you pretending to be so cool? You've already read the 20th chapter? If I were to write it in plain language, it would take you half an hour to read the 20th chapter, right?"

"Don't worry about this idiot. Let him show off on his own."

"Go away, go away, this place is too fetishistic, don't go near it." When more and more people began to mock this comment, the owner of this comment sent another message.

The content of the message links to a post.

And the post is a post against everyone.

……

"I was just posting this casually, but I didn't expect you guys to like it so much. So I'll argue with you guys."

"First of all, I didn't read Chapter 20. I was reading Chapter 1, but something happened and I went out without turning off the computer. When I came back, my grandfather was sitting in front of the computer and happened to be reading Chapter 20, so I took a picture of it."

"I really didn't expect that people on the Internet are so violent and jealous. Can a picture break your defenses?"

"Why, you can't stand seeing others being better than you?"

"If I post this, someone will definitely say that your grandfather must have been joking!"

"I'm sorry, it's not."

"My grandfather is an honorary professor of ancient Chinese literature at the university. I asked him and he has read all the updated chapters of Journey to the West. I also asked him to read me a chapter."

"Of course, having said this, there are bound to be people who doubt me and say that I am talking nonsense and want me to publish the proof that my grandfather is a professor of ancient Chinese literature."

"No need to post it, just search my grandfather's university and you will see his title."

"Of course, I also added a final layer of insurance to prevent some trolls from being too lazy to click on the link and watch it themselves."

"In a moment, I will post a translation of the ancient Chinese text of Journey to the West every ten minutes, for ten chapters in a row."

"Of course, I stopped posting because I didn't want the trolls to understand Journey to the West."

"Want to see it? Sure, beg me!"

……

After reading the post, the netizens did not say anything, but waited.

Sure enough, the translation of the first chapter of "Journey to the West" came out.

After watching it, everyone said it was very exciting.

For those who read slowly, it only took me ten minutes and I finished translating it the second time.

So, some persistent people kept up with the updates until after 1 a.m., and only then did they finish reading the translation of all ten chapters.

But ten chapters, who would read it?
After reading the translation and feeling the charm of Journey to the West, those people started to act up.

"I'm sorry, I'm a troll, please translate it!"

"Please, translate two more chapters. I can't sleep if you don't translate!"

"I'm a troll, I admit defeat, please translate it!"

"What happened to the Great Sage? Was he rescued in the end?"

"Yeah, what's wrong with the Great Sage? Can't the Golden Cudgel break the Five Elements Mountain?"

Leave messages and comments one by one.

For a moment, this post became extremely lively.

Some people who like Mu Linsen's books but couldn't understand them will be completely amazed after reading this translation.

"So, Xianxia is so good-looking?"

Some martial arts readers who have never read fairy tales went directly to read other fairy tale novels with this idea in mind.

At first glance, he is silent.

Only then did they realize that it was not that the fantasy novels were interesting, but that the person who wrote them was Mu Linsen!

……

the next day.

After Wu Yunfei got up, he saw his post criticizing the trolls and it went viral.

He was shocked to see tens of thousands of replies directly under the post.

"Did we disturb the trolls' nest?"

Wu Yunfei didn't even bother to brush his teeth. He directly opened the post and read some of the replies. Only then did he know what was going on.

Suddenly I couldn't laugh or cry.

Originally it was just to annoy the trolls and the argumentative people.

The result was to whet the appetite of real book fans.

After thinking about it, he directly translated the last ten chapters and sent them out.

Suddenly, Wu Yunfei's fans increased by 20,000.

You know, he was originally just an unknown little person, who just followed some friends and had barely 40 fans.

As a result, this wave increased 500 times!
Suddenly, Wu Yunfei seemed to have found his way.

Unfortunately, only twenty chapters of the classical Chinese version of "Journey to the West" were published. Even if Wu Yunfei wanted to continue translating, he had to have some translations.

Just after Wu Yunfei published the translation of the last ten chapters, Qingyu found Chen Shuangxue with a little worry.

……

Office of Chen Shuangxue
"Editor-in-Chief Chen, have you read this post?"

Chen Shuangxue glanced at Qingyu's phone, and when she saw that it was the translated post, she nodded.

"I read it, it's quite interesting. One reader translated it, and a group of readers urged me to update it."

"If I didn't need the attention, this post would have been blocked."

Chen Shuangxue said this with a smile.

To put it in a positive way, this post is a book lover translating his favorite book.

At worst, it's piracy.

Because most of those who follow the posts have not subscribed to "Journey to the West", but they see paid content without subscribing. If this is not piracy, what is it?
However, Chen Shuangxue is not a pedantic person and knows that the owner of this post did not do it on purpose.

"It's getting pretty hot now. I'll have someone contact the owner of this post and make it a paid post."

After hearing what Chen Shuangxue said, Qingyu was confused.

This is not what he meant!
"Editor-in-Chief Chen, what I mean is, if this person has already completed the translation of Journey to the West, then how can we sell the subsequent physical vernacular version of Journey to the West?"

After hearing this, Chen Shuangxue nodded in sudden realization.

"You are worried about this."

Chen Shuangxue smiled and said, "Actually, you don't have to think about this. You are the editor of the vernacular version of Journey to the West. You should know the difference between Mu Da's vernacular version and the vernacular version translated by this person better than I do."

"the difference?"

Bai Yu was stunned for a moment, then he looked at the post on his phone and read the translations.

After he recalled the contents of Mu Da's vernacular version, he finally understood what Chen Shuangxue was talking about.

Suddenly, Qingyu patted his head.

"I'm worrying too much."

After saying that, Qingyu walked away with a blushing face.

Returning to his seat, looking at the contents of the vernacular version of Journey to the West that needed to be proofread later, Qingyu murmured, "How can Mu Da's writing be compared to that of the translator?"

That’s right, on one side is the vernacular version written specifically by Mu Linsen, and on the other side is the pure translation style.

That is to say, those readers who cannot understand classical Chinese are just eating anything they can get.

As long as Mulinsen’s vernacular version appears, there will naturally be a comparison.

Moreover, the translated version now also has to be charged, so when the time comes, whether to pay to read the translated version or to read the original work, everyone knows the choice.

"Never mind, proofread quickly!"

Qingyu stopped looking at the information on the Internet and began to concentrate on proofreading work.
