Reborn, I achieved legendary status with a single book.

Chapter 123, 18,000 words, is just a record on Qidian, not mine.

"Tsinghua, Jiaotong University, Aurora University... they are all top students."

"Come, come, it's the first time we've met. I'll definitely interview you all when we have the chance in the future!"

A brief introduction.

Wang Yu said cheerfully to everyone.

Then Wang Yu looked at Xiao and asked, "Xiao, how did you meet Chen Yang?"

Xiao glanced at Chen Yang, but didn't reveal his identity. She smiled and said, "Don't misunderstand, Chen Yang and I are just ordinary online friends. I only met him today because I knew he was going to Shanghai for university. I almost didn't recognize him."

Xiao glanced at Chen Yang a few more times.

No wonder she didn't recognize her.

Chen Yang changed his hairstyle mainly because of the media frenzy surrounding it.

Since he usually wears a hat, many people who weren't particularly familiar with Chen Yang didn't notice him.

Of course, there is another important one.

Although there are photos of Chen Yang in the media, they are all from his senior year of high school.

During his senior year of high school, Chen Yang's hairstyle and clothing were quite student-like.

Now that I'm in university, I'm more relaxed and adult-like.

In addition, Chen Yang is 18 years old now and has just come of age.

They are still growing.

Female transformation.

Boys change a lot as they grow up.

If he were to date several girls, there would be countless variations.

"Hey, Sister Wang Yu, how did you meet Chen Yang?"

"Me... I originally worked in the media industry. Back when university had just started, I interviewed Chen Yang at the school gate. Then, I wanted to follow up a bit further and see what university life was like for everyone."

Wang Yu naturally wouldn't reveal anything else about Chen Yang.

Luo Lu's situation is nothing to worry about.

Li Hanxiao said, "Chen Yang, I admire you, I admire you."

Wang Mingming and Li Xue are wonderful people.

They dared not say much.

At most, he would chat with Luo Lu and Li Hanxiao for a few minutes.

As for Chen Xuewei, Xiao Tongxue, and Wang Yu.

The two knew in their hearts that the relationship these people were talking about was definitely not what it seemed on the surface.

It took more than an hour to finish the meal.

Xiao told Wang Yu to go back first and find Chen Yang another day.

The others also dispersed.

Chen Yang accompanied Chen Xuewei for a walk at the school gate.

As they walked, Chen Xuewei said, "Chen Da, you really have a way with women."

Chen Yang was a little embarrassed: "I didn't do anything."

"It really is."

Chen Xuewei said, "Look, everyone comes to you, it's not like you're going to find others, right?"

"Yeah."

"You're right, my foot."

Chen Xuewei rolled her eyes at Chen Yang: "I should have applied to Aurora University back then."

"Don't be like that, Aurora University is nowhere near as good as Tsinghua University. If I could get into Tsinghua, I would definitely apply to Tsinghua."

The next few days.

Chen Yang then accompanied Chen Xuewei on a tour of Shanghai.

and.

Chen Yang also took Chen Xuewei to find Zhang Lin.

Yes.

Ever since Zhang Lin was recommended to the Shengda Esports Team by Chen Yang.

Shengda has really nurtured Zhang Lin in this area.

At the same time, Zhang Lin also told Zhang Lin some news.

There might be a Shanghai University Student Esports Tournament held at the end of the year.

Chen Yang nodded.

His suggestion is being pushed forward.

It might be impossible to launch a nationwide initiative all at once; let's start with a single region.

But this is also a good omen.

But it was only when Chen Yang and Chen Xuewei found Zhang Lin that things changed.

Chen Yang then discovered that another female classmate was also there.

This female student is Qiu Hong.

When I saw the autumn red.

Chen Yang and Chen Xuewei were both dumbfounded.

Qiu Hong covered her face, too embarrassed to see anyone.

Finally, he came up with a lame excuse, saying that he wanted to come to Shanghai to see the city, since he had never been there before.

Zhang Lin happened to be in Shanghai, so I contacted him.

Zhang Lin just smiled.

Then he chuckled a few times.

Chen Yang knew.

This kid is awesome, he actually got the first blood.

"Can it hold up?"

Chen Yang nudged Zhang Lin and whispered.

Zhang Lin said, "Nonsense, seven times a night, okay?"

"Brilliant."

……

Two days later.

Chen Xuewei is preparing to return to Taipei.

As she was leaving, Chen Xuewei said, "I'm going back now, aren't you going to give me a hug?"

Chen Yang was a little embarrassed: "We're already so familiar with each other, what's there to hug?"

Despite saying that, Chen Yang still opened his arms.

Subsequently.

Chen Yang felt a soft sensation in his chest.

All that was heard was a slightly shy voice asking, "Did you feel it?"

"What?"

"You filthy scoundrel..."

Chen Yang touched his nose: "Wei Zi, if you keep tempting me like this, I won't be able to resist."

"I thought you were a saint. Have you noticed that I'm actually quite cunning?"

"It's alright, it's alright. But, how about... going back in a few days? Anyway, the National Day holiday isn't over yet."

"What do you want to do?"

"Feel your temperature again."

He hugged Chen Xuewei tightly.

Chen Xuewei blushed and pushed Chen Yang away, saying, "You, you, you don't have a chance now. I'm going back to Taipei."

"Oh, when will I have the chance?"

"Look again."

Chen Xuewei waved her hand and was about to enter the station: "By the way, aren't you going to tell me what happened with that genius writer from a while ago?"

"You're so smart, do I really need to tell you?"

"understood."

Chen Xuewei was very happy.

Some time ago.

When Chen Xuewei heard that there was a genius writer in Aurora University.

The first thought.

Chen Xuewei immediately thought of Chen Yang.

It wasn't until she saw Chen Yang's silhouette during the interview that Chen Xuewei became even more certain.

of course.

If it were anyone else, they definitely wouldn't have thought of it.

The main problem is the lack of directionality.

When you don't think about it that way, just seeing a back view, you would never guess who that person is.

But if you've set your sights on one particular person...

When you look at this photo again.

You can see it at a glance.

……

On Qidian.com, another written interview was conducted with Chen Yang.

It's not that Qidian.com is particularly keen to promote Chen Yang. It's just that Chen Yang broke such a record, and if we don't give him some publicity, how can we do justice to the website's development?

"Congratulations on your novel 'The Great Thousand Worlds' breaking the average rating record since the establishment of Qidian.com."

Gu Yue interviewed Chen Yang via QQ.

"Thank you."

"Could you share the secret to this?"

"There's no secret to it, just keep updating."

"Many people say that I should learn how to write songs, maybe it will improve my grades."

"Pfft..."

Chen Yang knew.

This refers to an event that occurred some time ago.

of course.

Gu Yue was joking. He continued, "It feels like the latest chapter is going to open up a completely different map."

"It's not about opening another map, it's about entering a dungeon."

What does "entering a dungeon" mean?

"It's similar to opening a new map, but this map is still within the large map, so it's not exactly a new map. It won't take you to a completely new and unfamiliar place. It's more like playing a dungeon in a game."

"Wow, Bu Yangda, this is yet another brand new idea? But how do you connect dungeons in a game with a fantasy storyline?"

"I'll update the latest chapter tonight, then everyone will know."

"I'm incredibly excited."

Gu Yue is both Chen Yang's editor and a fan of Chen Yang's books.

He basically follows the updates every day.

Of course, he is also learning.

……

"Without Yang Da, we're going to come up with another big innovation."

"Hmm, running dungeons. I really don't know what the 'running dungeon' part means in the game."

"I don't know either, but I'll definitely take good notes tonight."

Backstage at the Writers' Center, a group of authors who had seen Chen Yang's interview made comments from time to time.

Chen Yang on the other side.

But they were rushing to finish the latest chapter's plot.

The 18000 mean constant is just a record of the starting point.

It doesn't belong to Chen Yang.

Chen Yang did not stop there after breaking through the 18000 average.

He also wanted to take this uniformity and stretch it into an even larger space.

How to achieve a uniform average?

Running dungeons is a good way to do this.

The so-called "running a dungeon" here.

It uses the same writing style as in the game.

In games, when you go to a dungeon, it's usually a group of team members entering a place.

Once they enter this place, no one else can enter.

Then, fight monsters and level up in this map to obtain equipment.

Put it in the fantasy genre.

It's the same, actually.

He can have the same settings.

You're just saying it in a different way.

A map may contain all sorts of adventures and magical treasures, but it cannot be entered by other higher-level players.

If other high-level experts enter, then there will be no room for other low-level cultivators.

Then.

At this point, a restriction can be added to this map, prohibiting experts above a certain level from entering.

If someone with a higher cultivation level forcibly enters, the map will activate a restriction, either destroying the space or killing the expert.

However, Chen Yang's instance is more interesting than ordinary instances.

When the main character enters the instance.

All he could see was a towering pagoda that seemed to pierce the clouds, appearing before him.

This tower is called the Tower of Babel.

The Tower of Babel has 100 floors.

You must clear each level before you can proceed to the next.

In a fantasy novel, this would be a classic tower-climbing trope.

The so-called tower climbing.

That is, it is a process of continuous advancement, layer by layer.

There is a TV series called "Tai Chi Master".

The protagonist enters a seven-story pagoda.

Each floor of the tower is overseen by a master.

To pass the level.

You must defeat the master guarding each floor.

This setting perfectly unleashes the exhilarating feeling of upgrading the fantasy genre.

of course.

The concept of this 100-story tower was not entirely Chen Yang's own creation.

Chen Yang also drew inspiration from the setting of the anime series "Sword Art Online".

Or.

The 100-story tower in this story isn't necessarily a setting from Sword Art Online.

The Tower of Babel concept has been present in games for a long time.

For example, in the game "Legend of Mir 2", there is a map of the Tower of Babel.

The monsters and the magical items that drop are different on each floor.

But whether it's a game or something else.

When the 100-story Tower of Babel appeared, it truly stunned all the onlookers, leaving them speechless.

"A 100-story Tower of Babel, terrifying, terrifying."

"It's exciting to think about applying it layer by layer."

"It's not just about applying layer after layer; there's something even more satisfying."

"What's even more enjoyable?"

"Besides upgrading layer by layer, he can also keep showing off and slapping people in the face."

How do you show off and then slap someone in the face?

"Look. The protagonist is definitely going to break through 100 floors, right?"

"Correct."

"If at this point, when the protagonist has reached the 99th floor, he has to return to the 10th or 40th floor to complete some task, other characters who are still struggling on the lower floors will probably see the protagonist as a god."

"Damn, isn't this just high-level players returning to the newbie village map to stomp on newbies?"

"Yes, that's what it means."

All I want to say is, update.

This setting was introduced.

Sometimes, Chen Yang doesn't need to write the subsequent plot.

They've been anticipating this for a long time, with countless imagined scenarios and exciting moments.

……

On the other end of the computer.

A slightly chubby young man looked on incredulously.

"This is a genius design."

This person's name is Tomato.

The work he is currently writing is called Stellar Transformation.

Although his data has been very, very good since the beginning of "Stellar Transformation".

but.

Even if the data for "Stellar Transformation" is very good.

Above him.

There is still one work that surpasses him.

"This idea is absolutely brilliant."

"Yes, once the 100-story Tower of Babel is introduced, countless plot points and exciting moments... come about just like that. If it's well-developed, this plot could easily be written into 30 words."

"30 words... So, the average daily rating of 'The Great World' will have to rise."

"Correct."

Other groups of authors were also constantly chatting.

"18,000 is just the starting point's record, but... it's not his record."

Tomato looked at everyone's chat in the group and couldn't help but say something.
