Reborn, I achieved legendary status with a single book.

Chapter 120 If you don't become a god, when will you ever be the best in the world?!

"Bu Yangda, have you received the text message about the second round of promotion?"

"Just received it."

"come on."

"Gu Yueju, I feel like your 'keep going' has a hidden meaning."

"What do you say?"

After receiving the recommendation text message, Gu Yue sent a message to Chen Yang.

Chen Yang smiled and said, "So you want me to boost your performance?"

"Pfft..."

Gu Yue choked a little.

But actually, that's true.

In some ways, it is indeed boosting one's own performance.

However, this performance is not that simple.

This performance.

That's incredibly awesome.

"Without exaggeration, the average score for fantasy works is 18,000. If you can break this record, then you will be the number one writer of fantasy works."

"I'll try."

"Oh, right, let me add something. The highest average rating for fantasy novels is also the highest average rating for Qidian. You know what that means, right?"

"OK."

How could Chen Yang not understand?

Anyone who broke the highest equilibrium in their previous life had an incredibly terrifying reputation.

Like a young man.

squid.

Chen Dong.

But before these equilibrium-breaking events occur.

Tomatoes are the most potent among them.

Why was Tomato a top-tier player on Qidian? Why was it an evergreen player on Qidian?

The reason is that tomatoes have repeatedly broken the average starting point record.

Tomato's first book, Star Peak Legend, is just so-so, let's not talk about it.

However, after the Legend of Star Peak, the appearance of Inch Light directly broke the highest average starting point.

Later, Stellar Transformation broke that record once again.

But this is not over yet.

Tomato's Panlong, Swallow the Starry Sky, and Nine Cauldrons... have once again broken records.

Such achievements have established Tomato's superior position at the starting line.

Even if Tomato writes books later on, the copyright fees may not be the highest.

But his online subscriptions have never been able to be shaken by many.

In other words, Tomato became more laid-back later on, which gave other young writers the opportunity to emerge.

And now.

A tremendous opportunity presented itself to Chen Yang.

Once Chen Yang breaks the starting point average record.

Then.

His position is unshakeable.

He will be at the top of the industry for at least a certain period of time.

I chatted with Gu Yue.

Chen Yang received a phone call from Gao Gang.

Takaoka has transferred a new batch of copyright fees.

This is a large sum.

There are 80 in total.

The royalties came from 40 copies of the book.

However, Takaoka withheld 11% of the royalties.

So it's a little over 67.

Chen Yang found this automatic deduction method quite convenient.

That way I won't have to pay it myself.

More importantly.

In addition to transferring the royalties, Takaoka also stated that the potential of "The Great World" is still being realized.

As for how many copies it will sell, Takaoka is no longer making predictions.

It all comes down to the market.

Once the market sells out, they will keep printing more.

Take care of some miscellaneous tasks.

Chen Yang didn't say anything more.

I immersed myself in writing.

……

"Sorry, sorry."

Early in the morning.

Chen Yang rode his bicycle to school.

While I was thinking about the plot of last night, I accidentally bumped into a girl with my tire.

Chen Yang quickly got out of the car.

How do you ride a bike?

"I'm sorry, I was lost in thought just now. How about I take you to a nearby hospital to get checked out?"

"Never mind, I'll be more careful next time."

Although the girl glared at Chen Yang, she generously didn't pursue the matter further.

Although the girl didn't pursue the matter, her legs started to feel uncomfortable after just a few steps.

In this situation, Chen Yang couldn't easily leave. Seeing the Aurora logo on her clothes, he asked, "Excuse me, are you also from Aurora?"

"The same to you?"

"Yes, or I can give you a ride to the school doctor."

"This……"

The girl felt a little uncomfortable.

But after taking a few steps, his right foot really hurt badly, so he had to nod and say, "Okay, I'll sit on your brace."

"Sit tight."

For safety reasons, Chen Yang supported him the whole way.

Are you a freshman?

"I just got into Aurora University this year. What about you, classmate?"

"You're a seasoned pro, a junior. What's your major?"

“Chinese Language and Literature.”

"Pfft..."

The senior student laughed when she heard this: "It's not easy to find a job with your major."

Chen Yang laughed and said, "It's really not easy to find a job. I mainly want to slack off."

"Moyu, what does 'moyu' mean?"

"It's just laziness."

"Slacking off, taking it easy... Hahaha, that's an interesting word. But you're really strange. Aurora University is a prestigious school, you went through so much to get in, and you're just thinking of slacking off."

"I couldn't help it, high school was too tiring, so I just wanted to relax a bit in college."

"Look, your thinking is wrong. University is a place where you should strive."

"Makes sense."

Chen Yang nodded.

"arrive."

The two walked while chatting.

It only took about ten minutes to get to the school gate.

Seeing that others were paying attention, the senior student felt a little embarrassed and got off the bus. After walking a few more steps, she realized that her foot was fine. She said, "I just walked for a while, and my foot is fine. I don't think I need to go to the school clinic."

"Okay then."

Chen Yang nodded: "By the way, if you feel unwell later, please call me anytime. I'm really sorry, I will definitely pay for your medical expenses. Or, I can pay for your medical expenses first, so you won't have to come looking for me later."

As he spoke, Chen Yang reached for his money.

But the senior waved her hand and said, "Don't worry, I won't bother you again. Be careful when you ride your bike in the future; other people aren't as kind as me. Goodbye."

……

Aurora University has a strong humanities program.

Although Chen Yang applied to the Chinese Language and Literature Department, he was planning to slack off.

However, there were several teachers teaching this major, and Chen Yang always attended his classes very attentively.

For example, Professor Cheng An, who teaches ancient literature, is a very accomplished person.

In the past few days, Professor Cheng An has been talking about a classic work from the Southern Dynasties, "The Literary Mind and the Carving of Dragons".

Many people have heard of this book.

But many people probably don't know what this book is about.

It is actually a literary theory article.

Equivalent to literary criticism.

But this is not just literary criticism.

In addition to his commentary, he also offers his own views on literary writing.

For example, the book's research on "qi".

Liu Xie, the author of *Wenxin Diaolong*, believed that...

Writing should have momentum.

However, the students were completely baffled by this purely theoretical work.

Many of them even started to doze off.

Yes.

At Aurora University, some students also sleep during class.

Chen Yang listened with great interest.

It's not that he's good at literary theory research, nor that he has high literary literacy.

The main point is to apply what Chen Yang has learned.

He wrote so many words in his past lives and even now.

Although he hadn't studied some of the theories discussed in the book, he demonstrated their effectiveness in practice.

For example, the qi mentioned here.

Although Chen Yang believes that his understanding of Qi is not exactly the same as the Qi in the book.

But they all lead to the same goal, albeit through different paths.

"Chen Yang, you seem to be nodding frequently as you listen. It looks like you have a good understanding of qi. Could you tell us your understanding of qi?"

Sometimes it's frustrating when no one pays attention in class.

Cheng An naturally knew that the book "Wenxin Diaolong" was too obscure and difficult to understand.

Let alone students.

Even he himself might not fully understand some of the theories involved.

But seeing Chen Yang listening with great interest, Cheng An felt a sense of relief.

"Professor Cheng, I think the 'qi' that Mr. Liu Xie mentioned refers to many aspects. I believe that 'qi' here refers to the writer's 'qi.' Before writing, a writer must have an indomitable spirit. Then there is the 'qi' of the work itself. What is the core of a book or an article? This core is the 'qi' within it."

Furthermore, there's the protagonist's aura. The protagonist's aura best embodies the core of a book. In summary, I think the aura Liu Xie refers to is the unified aura of the author, the work, and the protagonist… As for other auras, I haven't grasped them yet.”

"Good, good... That's an excellent answer. Everyone should learn from Chen Yang."

It was rare for Cheng An to say "good" several times in a row.

have to say.

What Chen Yang just said was indeed very good.

Not only is it good.

Moreover, what he said was very practical.

After thinking for a moment, Cheng An asked again, "Chen Yang, do you usually write novels?"

"Occasionally."

"Then you can try it more. For example, whenever you have time, you can go to the 'Literature and Art' section of Tianya Forum and post your novels, poems, etc."

"Thank you, Professor Cheng. I'll give it a try another day."

……

A few days later.

Chen Yang's "The Vast World" has been featured on the cover for the second time.

Featured recommendation is the most popular type of recommendation on Qidian.com.

The featured position during the PC version era is different from the featured position after the advent of smartphones.

After the advent of smartphones, he had a lot of recommended spots.

But in the PC era.

His recommended placements are limited to category recommendations, homepage recommendations, and so on.

The more popular the recommendation, the higher the standards he needs to meet.

Such as Sanjiang Push, Strong Push, etc.

But whether it was a push from the three rivers or a strong push, it wasn't as effective as a major push.

Because of the strong promotion by Sanjiang, there are more than a dozen spots available each period.

Over a year, that's more than 1000 positions.

But a major push.

There can only be one major promotion per day.

There are only 365 spots available in a year (365 days).

But in fact.

There are far more than 365 works available on Qidian.

Therefore, not every author who gets published will receive a major featured recommendation.

In other words.

Getting a major push notification is already quite an achievement.

What is even more rare is.

Chen Yang is now receiving his second major promotion.

……

"Brother Bu Yang, congratulations, congratulations on another featured recommendation."

"Yeah, I've never been featured on the official Twitter account, not even twice."

"I'm so envious and jealous. I think, Brother Bu Yang, you should leave the group. Our new author group isn't suitable for you."

In the group of new authors.

A group of familiar author friends congratulated Chen Yang.

Chen Yang said, "Don't do that. If I leave the group, how am I supposed to pretend to be a newbie?"

Everyone gave Chen Yang the middle finger.

However, it was just a joke.

But for Chen Yang...

I have the utmost respect for the authors in the group.

Back then, Chen Yang was just like them; wasn't he also a newbie?

He might have even been tricked into joining the group back then.

but now.

They've already become gods.

Not just becoming a god.

His novel, "The Vast World," topped the monthly ticket chart.

Not only did they reach the top, but they also recently caused a nationwide sensation.

This is the second time the platform has been shut down.

Thinking back to when Chen Yang joined the group.

The author, Dangdang, felt a surge of passion and blurted out, "If you don't become the best, when will you ever be number one in the world?!"
