Reborn, I achieved legendary status with a single book.

Chapter 109 The Red-Haired Old Monster, Emperor Chen Tian.

I do not know how it is.

The Moon View, which was originally competing fiercely with Chen Yang, has recently seen its updates drop to 6000 words.

Many readers expressed their dissatisfaction in the comments section.

Chen Yang also read it.

He wasn't quite sure why the monthly updates were decreasing.

But I've been writing for over a decade.

He knew all too well the writing process of professional writers.

The decrease in updates to Moonview may be due to the previously frequent updates causing the storyline to fall behind.

It's also possible that the body can't handle the high-intensity typing.

Another possibility is that they want to be lazy.

However, the probability of slacking off is relatively small.

Those who are destined to become great masters will be given a series of opportunities by fate.

However, Chen Yang couldn't control these things.

he knows.

This is an opportunity.

Others are updating less frequently.

Chen Yang, on the other hand, did not decline at all, still updating 12,000 words at a time.

A few days later.

One rises while the other falls.

"Back to Ming Dynasty," which ranked fourth, was blown out of its chrysanthemum by Chen Yang.

There was no gunfire.

There wasn't much fanfare involved.

This PK battle marked his rise to 4th place on the overall monthly ranking.

However, Chen Yang still felt incredibly excited.

The previous life of Moon View can be described as a historical platinum.

Such a renowned author was surpassed by himself.

Although Chen Yang knew.

This has only been a month.

Exceeding it this month doesn't guarantee it will be exceeded next month.

but.

It's already been violated once.

There will be no problem next month either.

wrong.

It won't explode next month.

Next month, Chen Yang will not give any authors whose anuses he previously violated a chance.

……

Time flies by.

August is almost here.

07 7 Month 31 Day.

Chen Yang will finish updating the last chapter of today.

Throughout July, Chen Yang updated 350,000 words.

The mean squared value was also pulled up to 13000 at this point.

Although the payment for the manuscript has not yet been made.

But Chen Yang did the calculations himself.

His royalties this month reached approximately 82,000 yuan.

In addition to the 3000 yuan for fourth place on the overall monthly ranking, there is also a full attendance bonus of 900 yuan.

That's about 86,000 yuan.

There is a month's worth of royalties.

It was enough for Chen Yang to do some simple renovations on his house and pay the mortgage for the month.

8 month 1 number.

It was a very good day.

Chen Yang received an admission letter from Aurora University.

The notification was personally delivered to the Chen family by postal workers.

When the parents received the admission notice, Mr. Chen's hands trembled slightly.

The postal worker also smiled and said, "Congratulations, congratulations to the Chen family for producing such a high achiever."

The mother, Chen Meihua, was also very excited. She went inside and wrapped six eggs in red paper as a token of good fortune.

The staff member didn't refuse, and said with a smile, "Then I'll accept it. I'll share in the Chen family's good fortune and see if my brat has such good luck next year."

"Son, you open it."

"Dad, come here."

"My hands are shaking a little right now."

"I……"

Chen Yang was both amused and exasperated: "Fine, I'll open it."

He accepted the acceptance letter from his father with both hands.

The admission letter from Aurora University is blue and features the university's main gate.

The back cover displays Aurora University's motto: "To be learned and resolute, to inquire and to reflect."

This quote comes from the Analects.

The general idea is that we should absorb knowledge from various fields, but we should not forget our aspirations while learning.

Ask questions diligently and consider the current situation carefully.

The parents didn't know what that sentence meant.

But they knew how valuable this acceptance letter was.

Chen Yang slowly opened it.

The contents are similar to most undergraduate admission notices.

It says.

Chen Yang.

You have been admitted to the Chinese Language and Literature program at our university. Please register for enrollment on August 27th with this admission notice.

Principal Su Yiyang.

Time: XXXX.
Chen Yang read it out word by word.

The parents excitedly looked at the acceptance letter over and over again.

It took more than an hour for things to calm down a little.

But after a while, he started to get excited again.

“Hey Meihua, your son got into Aurora University. You should tell your older sisters and your brother-in-law.”

"I almost forgot. You too, hurry up... and tell them the good news."

Then he took out his phone.

I've been busy for several hours.

The elderly couple only stopped after Chen Yang had typed two chapters in the room.

But then they discussed when to hold the graduation banquet.

Chen Yang interjected, "Mom and Dad, well, for the graduation banquet, just invite your aunts, uncles, and other close relatives for a meal. Don't make it so big; it's not a good thing."

After thinking about it, Chen Yang's parents agreed to his request.

Although it wasn't a big event, Mr. Chen was still incredibly excited.

He also said that he would take Chen Yang back to his hometown to pay respects to his ancestors tomorrow.

Chen Yang agreed.

……

Day two.

Chen's father took Chen Yang back to his hometown.

My hometown is a small village in the county seat. It's called Xiche Village.

Most of the villagers in Xiche Village have the surname Chen.

Because they are all Hakka people, they have retained many Hakka customs.

For example, ancestral halls.

Ancestral halls are where Hakka people in southern China prove their roots.

The family genealogy is displayed in the central hall of the ancestral hall.

The father and son returned home.

All the uncles and aunts in the village looked over at the same time.

Because Chen Yang was born in a county town, many people did not know him.

But my father grew up here.

After getting off the bus, Chen's father greeted everyone from time to time: "Brother Feiliang."

"Brother Houzhong."

"Brother Houcai".

"Uncle Qingxiang".

Chen Yang followed his father's example and addressed all the uncles and elders.

When the villagers saw Chen's father, they all gathered around and said, "Houguang, you haven't been back to your hometown for quite some time."

"I'm busy in the city, that's all."

"Yes, you run a furniture business in the county, and I heard you've made a lot of money."

"Sigh, don't even mention it, all the stores in the county have gone out of business."

"What do you mean by closing down? You've been smart since you were little. Do you think I don't know you? Do you have some other big business? This is your kid."

"Chen Yang, hurry up and call him uncle."

"He called, he called! Your son looks like he'll amount to something. Hey, what's the situation this time? Why are you coming home?"

"Well, the kid got lucky and did pretty well on the college entrance exam."

Wow, you got into university!

"Yeah yeah."

"What university?"

"It's not a good university either, it's called Zhen, Zhen..."

"Aurora?"

"Yes, yes, it's Aurora University. You know... why is the name of this university so strange? Aurora and Dan, this is the admission notice, yes, it's called Aurora University."

As he spoke, Mr. Chen took out the admission notice.

"Houguang, wow, Aurora University is one of the top ten universities! My goodness, everyone come here, Houguang's son got into university, and he got into Aurora University, one of the top ten universities."

This said.

Other villagers also came over.

The grandfather, whom Chen's father called Uncle Qingxiang, was also excited as he looked at the admission notice again and again.

Then he said, "Houguang, you're amazing. Our village has never produced a top student from one of the top ten universities. You're home to pay respects to your ancestors, right? Come, come, let me open the family genealogy for you."

Actually, quite a few talented people have emerged from the village.

There are several graduate students and a few doctoral students.

However, none of these people graduated from prestigious universities, so there is some regret about it.

side said.

Uncle Qingxiang led everyone into the ancestral hall.

He then took out the key and opened the ancestral hall's genealogy door.

"Houguang, what's your son's name again?"

"Chen Yang".

“Look, they talk about ancestor worship, but they don’t even remember his generation.”

“Uncle Qingxiang, I just couldn’t remember. Chen Mingzhang, that’s the name written when it was added to the family genealogy.”

There is a mnemonic rhyme for the generational names of the Chen family.

[His grace and benevolence are boundless and profound; his wisdom and benevolence are ever-present.]

Chen Yang's father belonged to the "Hou" generation and was named Chen Houguang.

Chen Yang belongs to the Ming generation.

Therefore, his generational name is Chen Mingzhang.

The name on the family genealogy is also Chen Mingzhang.

"Chen Mingzhang, what a good name! It means 'bright as the sun and moon, and literary talent for the world.' Here, this is your family genealogy. Mingzhang, your grandfather's name was Chen Yiguang, your great-grandfather's name was Chen Wenkui, and his name on the genealogy is Chen Weiwen. Your great-great-grandfather's name on the genealogy is Chen Zeming, also known as Chen Taiming..."

“Our Chen family lineage originally came from Yingchuan County in Henan Province. 400 years ago, we moved to Longyan, then to Ganzhou, and finally to our Xiche Village. Some of our descendants moved to Meizhou, Shaoguan, Shantou, and even further to Southeast Asia.”

Grandpa Qingxiang is a respected elder in the village.

Holding the family genealogy, he read out the names of the Chen family ancestors.

He also introduced Chen Yang to the history of the Chen family's continuous migration from north to south.

Chen Yang also benefited greatly, and felt as if he had found his roots.

“Great! Our Chen family has been here for over 400 years, and finally we have produced a top student who is admitted to one of the top ten universities. Mingzhang, you must study hard in the future, and remember that your hometown is Xiche Village.”

"Grandpa Qingxiang, I will never forget."

"By the way, Houguang, why don't you hurry up and light the incense and set off the firecrackers?"

"Come on, everyone, let's all help out."

Grandpa Qingxiang carefully placed the family genealogy book and even asked someone to help set off firecrackers.

Chen Yang respectfully offered incense to all the ancestors in the ancestral hall.

The woman with her child next to her kept telling her children, "You must study hard in the future, just like this older brother, get into a prestigious school, and bring honor to your family."

……

"Meihua, you should come back to my hometown with me today."

“Let me tell you, this time when we went back to our hometown, my son really made me proud.”

"You know Uncle Qingxiang, right? He personally opened the family tree for me, and he would have even opened the middle gate if I hadn't stopped him."

As soon as I got home.

Mr. Chen said excitedly to Chen Meihua.

Chen Yang quickly said, "Mom, don't listen to Dad. I'm not qualified to open the middle door yet."

To open the middle gate, one must be the top scholar (状元).

In his previous life, the martial arts champion Su Bingtian returned to his hometown and opened the middle gate.

It's quite good that Chen Yang got into one of the top ten universities.

But we're still a long way from the middle gate.

Don't tell me it's not open.

Even if it were open, Chen Yang couldn't accept such a grand gift, and would never dare to.

However, Chen's father was still incredibly excited to return to his hometown this time.

I had a great time drinking with my mother in the evening, talking about interesting things from our hometown.

……

Chen Yang wasn't too excited.

Chen Yang knew exactly how he got into Aurora.

If it weren't for good luck this time, I wouldn't have been able to recall some major questions from my past life.

In addition, they received an extra 10 points on the college entrance exam.

Otherwise, where would the so-called top ten universities come from?

However, Chen Yang was quite happy to be admitted to Aurora University.

At least my parents' wishes have been fulfilled.

"Mom and Dad, you drink, I'm going to do my calligraphy."

I told my parents.

Chen Yang returned to his room and turned on his computer.

A new month, a new journey.

This time, Chen Yang's goal is to be in the top 3 of the Qidian monthly ranking.

Currently ranked 3rd is none other than the Red-Haired Old Monster, Emperor Chen Tian.
