Back to 1997, I became the originator of online literature

Chapter 293: Wonderful and shocking "War of the Liches"
Chapter 292: Wonderful and shocking "War of the Liches"
But no matter which editor, as long as they saw the manuscript of Zhongyuan Yidianhui's new book, even if they had already forwarded the manuscript to their superiors, they still couldn't help but take a look at the content of Zhongyuan Yidianhui's new book.

Without exception, these editors read it in silence and were soon immersed in the plot of "Hong Huang Romance".

The plot of this new book is not progressing very fast at the moment.

But Cao Sheng wrote very steadily.

After writing books for a long time, his writing skills have improved.

His writing may not be particularly outstanding, but it is comfortable to read and his writing is very smooth. This alone makes him better than countless writers of this era.

The hero in the book traveled to the primitive world and turned into a crow.

Gradually adapting to the living environment of the primitive times, and perseveringly looking for opportunities to become stronger, the seemingly boring plot makes people feel as if they are in the story because it is described in enough detail.

When the editors of Xinchang were reading this episode, they did not know that Cao Sheng was consciously imitating the writing style of the beginning of "The Blood of the Beast" when writing these plots.

He has read a lot of books.

Among them, the writing style at the beginning of "The Blood of the Beast Boils" left a deep impression on him.

Because in the first few chapters of "The Blood of the Beast is Boiling", the protagonist is struggling to survive on a deserted island.

Cao Sheng has also seen some other works of similar style.

Such as "Robinson Crusoe" and some novels and movies about survival on a desert island.

This kind of story starts with only one protagonist and the plot is very boring at first glance.

But as long as it is written in enough detail to make the readers feel immersed in the story, it will have a special charm.

What's more, the plot at the beginning of "Honghuang Romance" is not boring.

In this primitive world full of dangers, there are huge figures looming in the jungle late at night, fierce fighting, and the protagonist practices the ancient method of eating air as a crow, and gradually becomes a demon. For people of this era, it is extremely novel.

The plot of Chapter 18 seems very long.

When you are immersed in the story, you will finish reading a plot of tens of thousands of words very quickly.

After watching it, I felt unsatisfied and itchy.

But with this kind of novel subject matter, even if they wanted to quickly find a similar work to satisfy their cravings, they couldn't find one.

And this is one of the main reasons why the works of pioneers are generally extremely popular.

All this is because readers were intrigued by this book, but couldn't find similar works to satisfy their cravings.

When similar works come out, it is difficult to surpass the quality and creativity of the pioneer's work.

In this episode, Cao Sheng also demonstrated a novel training system.

——The method of eating air.

The first level of the method of eating air in "Hong Huang Yan Yi" is to actively swallow the air of the morning glow. After you have practiced to the point where you can feel the air in your body, you use the internal air to warm your eyes day after day, until your eyes can see the colors of the various airs in the weather.

The second level is to choose a type of Qi you want to swallow after your eyes can see the colors of various Qi. Different Qi will produce different effects after being swallowed into the body.

The third level is to wait until the Qi in your body becomes strong to a certain level, and then use the Qi in your body to warm your body and strengthen yourself day by day.

The fourth level is to use one's own Qi to control the same energy between heaven and earth to form various magic techniques.

The fifth level is to have insight into oneself, understand one's strongest talent, and awaken one's innate supernatural powers.

……

What is the crow's innate magical power?
When the editors of Xinchang saw this cultivation system, they naturally became curious.

But until they finished reading Chapter 18, they still didn't see what innate magical power the protagonist had awakened. They only knew that the protagonist had awakened a magical power.

What surprised them most was that at the end of Chapter 18, the protagonist suddenly heard a grand voice coming from the sky. The voice claimed to be Hongjun and invited all sentient beings in the three realms to visit his Taoist palace.

Hongjun?

Is Hongjun going to preach?

Has the protagonist's chance arrived?
Can the protagonist fly to Hongjun’s Taoist Palace?
As a crow, is he qualified to listen to Hongjun's teachings?
I have so many questions that I can't bear them because I can't see the follow-up content.

……

Xinchang’s boss Lan Tianhu saw the manuscript of Cao Sheng’s new book when he logged into his email at around 3 p.m.

"The Greatest Romance? Such a serious title?"

Lan Tianhu was very happy to see Cao Sheng’s new book.

But the title of the book surprised him.

However, he did not think much about it. What he wanted to know more was whether the idea of ​​the new book was new enough and whether the text was interesting enough.

As he published more novels, he realized a truth: for a publishing house like Xinchang that focuses on fantasy literature, its lifeline lies not in anything else but in whether the works are good enough.

Only when there is enough creativity and the plot is exciting enough can it attract teenagers to the greatest extent.

The main reader group of fantasy literature is teenagers.

With some trepidation, he clicked on "The Legend of Hong Huang".

He was more afraid that the book would fail than Cao Sheng.

Because of Zhongyuan Yidianhui's works, they have become a golden signboard of Xinchang in the past two years and a magic weapon to attract readers.

If Zhongyuan Yidianhui's new book fails, Zhongyuan Yidianhui may just lose a little money, but Xinchang will lose a lot.

Just like a line in a TV drama said - "You only lost a leg, but she lost her love!"

And what is Xinchang's "love"?
It’s reputation! It’s industry status! It’s the face of Lan Tianhu!

In front of the computer.

Lan Tianhu's mind was gradually immersed in the plot of "The Legend of Honghuang".

After reading a few chapters, he paused and squinted his eyes to think for a while, wondering if the idea of ​​the book was new enough and if the plot was interesting enough.

New is definitely new!

In his entire life, he has never seen any modern author write a novel about the ancient times.

The several ancient giant beasts described in the first few chapters of "Hong Huang Yan Yi" were lifelike and gave him a great sense of novelty.

When the protagonist just traveled to the primitive world, he saw two god-like and devil-like figures fighting fiercely in the sky. The mountains and rivers were shattered and cracks appeared in the space. This scene also made him look forward to the subsequent contents of the book.

Because he knew that since Cao Sheng wrote such a fighting scene at the beginning, he would definitely make the protagonist powerful to that extent later on.

Moreover, the stories about Hongjun's preaching, the war between wizards and liches, and Nuwa's creation of humans mentioned in the book's introduction also made him eager to see those plots.

"A little gray in the Central Plains..."

Thinking of this, he smiled and whispered Cao Sheng's pen name, thinking: He is worthy of being the number one in online literature and he did not disappoint me.

When he finished reading Chapter 18, the smile on his face was the same as that of a man in the old days when his wife finally gave birth to a son after giving birth to nine daughters in a row.

There is a feeling of being high-spirited.

Yes!
The content of these 18 chapters seems to be just a one-man show by the protagonist.

But there is so much on display.

The plot of each chapter is closely linked. Although it seems that the plot progresses slowly, it gradually unveils the mystery of a corner of the prehistoric world.

The cruel living environment full of dangers, the excitement of the protagonist becoming stronger little by little, the anticipation of Hongjun's upcoming preaching... and so on.

His expectations for the subsequent plot were completely raised.

There is also the protagonist's strong obsession with revenge. In the process of becoming a demon, the ruthlessness he showed when fighting with various birds and beasts again and again makes his blood boil.

He already had a premonition that Cao Sheng was going to write another hit, a hit that would be even more popular than "The Tomb of the Gods" and "The Linglong Pagoda of the Mysterious Heaven and Earth".

A good work will give people a special feeling in the first few chapters.

Some people say that this is the temperament of the work.

Some people say that an expert can tell whether something is good or not just by taking a look.

Some people say that writing is natural and is the result of a master's hand. A classic work is so natural that it does not seem like something humans can write.

Cao Sheng’s previous works never gave Lan Tianhu this kind of feeling.

Although he had only read 18 chapters of "Hong Huang Romance", he felt that it would be a classic.

After reading 18 chapters, not only did he not see a single typo, he couldn't find any faults at all.

……

Lin Yongtang is the proofreading editor of Xinchang.

His job was very boring. He just proofread one work after another every day. For the works of ordinary authors, he could just do a perfunctory job, glance at them roughly, and pass the proofreading without changing a single word.

However, he would carefully proofread the works of a few popular authors, and try his best to pick out and correct all the typos in the manuscripts.

As a proofreader, he didn't see Cao Sheng's new book today.

But I received the manuscripts for the last three episodes of "The Linglong Tower of Heaven and Earth".

He likes this book.

So, when I received these three episodes of manuscripts, I was in a good mood and the corners of my mouth curled up slightly.

I happily started proofreading these three episodes.

He became the first reader of these three volumes of manuscripts.

The more I watch, the better it gets.

He never dreamed that this book would lead to the movie world of Lich King.

When he first saw the name of this movie world, he frowned a little, and for a moment he didn't understand the specific meaning of Lich King.

I thought that a person from Zhongyuan Yidianhui created the two original races of witches and monsters and constructed a movie world.

I still feel a little disappointed.

No interest.

But as the introduction to the movie world of the first part of "Warcraft" appeared, his eyes suddenly lit up and his anticipation was instantly aroused.

The story of the ancient struggle between the witch clan and the demon clan?

Are they the witch and demon tribes in myths and legends? Are there the twelve ancient witch ancestors? Emperor Jun? Donghuang Taiyi? Prince Jinwu?
As the contents of these three episodes unfolded bit by bit, Lin Yongtang gradually forgot his proofreading duties and he was unconsciously immersed in the story.

Became an absolute book lover.

I completely forgot my role as a proofreader.

If the first episode of "Honghuang Romance" only unveiled the mystery of a corner of the Honghuang world, then the "War of Liches and Wizards" plot in the last three episodes of "The Linglong Tower of Heaven and Earth" is a series of highlights.

Each character that appears is more awesome than the other.

The Twelve Ancestral Witches, who do not cultivate their spirits but only their bodies, call themselves the descendants of Pangu, worship Pangu as their father god, and have extremely powerful bodies.

The demon race, led by Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi, are more powerful than each other. For example, Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi are actually three-legged golden crows born from the Sun Star. The River Map and Luoshu and Donghuang Bell are their companion magic weapons.

Are you envious of a creature born with a unique magic weapon?

There are also the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Array, the Zhoutian Star Array, and so on, which even saints dare not provoke easily.

Especially in the third part of "War of Liches", when the great Zhoutian Star Array began to activate, the stars in the sky seemed to light up one by one, and began to bloom in the sky with far greater brilliance than before. The shock it brought to the world and Lin Yongtang was so great that Lin Yongtang felt his scalp tingling.

After finishing reading all three scripts, Lin Yongtang was stunned for a long time.

Staring blankly at the computer screen.

Looking at the three words "The Complete Book", he felt both unsatisfied and lost, as if he had just been in the exciting era of the war between wizards and liches, but was suddenly kicked out of this era, making him return to being an ordinary social animal in modern society.

The psychological gap is extremely strong.

He suddenly felt that his life was boring.

He really wanted to live in the era when wizards and liches fought for supremacy. He would be willing to do so even if he was just an ordinary little demon in that era, or an ordinary little wizard in the wizard clan.

But the reality is so cold.

He couldn't go to that mythical era.

He had no chance to change his fate.

Thinking that these three episodes were all written by Zhongyuan Yidianhui, he smiled. At this moment, Zhongyuan Yidianhui's status in his heart was infinitely elevated. He became the most awesome writer in his mind, no doubt about it!

Now thinking back, looking at the book "The Linglong Tower of Heaven and Earth", whether it is the creativity of the book or the original movie worlds that appear in the book, especially "War of Liches and Sorcery" that appears in the last three episodes, they all make him look up to it.

He thinks this is a masterpiece!
Looking at the entire Chinese literary world, he can't think of any other work that can compare with it.

At this moment, in Lin Yongtang's heart, even the works of Jin Yong, Gu Long and Huang Yi are not as good as Zhongyuan Yidianhui's "The Mysterious Tower of Heaven and Earth".

Of course, this is just his personal feeling.

In the era of online literature, many readers are deeply addicted to online literature and cannot extricate themselves. Many people are like Lin Yongtang. After reading a certain online literature, they suddenly feel that they have read the most awesome work of this era, and there is no other.

Suddenly I felt that the works written by traditional writers were completely incomparable to the online novel I just read, whether in terms of creativity or the thrill of the plot.

Of course, these are all the advantages of online literature.

It is precisely these advantages that have caused the readership of online literature to expand rapidly, and within a few years, it has become one of the cultural wonders of the world.

……

Lan Tianhu called Cao Sheng again and again.

None of them worked.

This surprised Lan Tianhu.

He also wanted to have a few words with Cao Sheng in person to discuss the share ratio of the royalties for "Hong Huang Yan Yi" and the subsequent plot of the book!

The main purpose is to keep in touch with Cao Sheng.

The book "Hong Huang Yan Yi" greatly improved his value judgment of Cao Sheng.

He felt that Cao Sheng was undoubtedly the number one in the Chinese literary world.

At least he is the number one in the field of online literature.

What he didn’t know was that Cao Sheng was in class at school and his phone was on silent.
