Reborn, I achieved legendary status with a single book.

Chapter 129 Chen Yang, Proving the Dao of Platinum.

"President Chen is here."

"Which Mr. Chen?"

"Chen Tianqiao."

"What?"

Many authors in the crowd seemed incredulous.

To know.

What level is Chen Tianqiao?
Although the initial investment came from Shengda Investment.

However, Qidian is just one of Shengda's series of investment businesses.

It could even be said that it's not a very large business.

Even if Shengda comes.

Typically, a senior executive is sent.

But now, upon hearing the name Chen Tianqiao... many authors were taken aback.

Subsequently.

When it became clear that it was indeed the real Chen Tianqiao, the scene erupted in cheers.

"It really is Chen Tianqiao."

"Wow, this is amazing."

"The richest man."

Yes.

In the early 2000s, Chen Tianqiao was a very influential figure on the internet.

Back when Ma Huateng, Ma Yun... and others didn't know how to make money.

Chen Tianqiao, however, made tens of billions of yuan through games, becoming the richest man in China.

"Hello fellow authors, I've actually been wanting to come for a long time, but I've been too busy with work. Baojian has been inviting me to the Qidian Annual Meeting for several years now, and I feel that if I don't come, everyone will think that Shengda doesn't value Qidian."

Although Chen Tianqiao is a big shot.

But he spoke very politely.

Moreover, he loved reading when he was young.

He even said that he once thought about becoming an author.

But the author didn't become one; instead, he became an internet mogul.

But fate did not extinguish his love for literature.

Later, he invested in Qidian.

And it has increased its investment by another 1 million yuan this year.

"This is Tang San."

"This is the divine strategist."

"This is Chen Dong..."

Bao Jian led Chen Tianqiao and introduced the authors present to each of them.

"The youngest one, if I'm not mistaken, is rather plain-looking."

Looking at Chen Yang, Chen Tianqiao said with a smile.

"Mr. Chen, just call me Chen Yang."

"Chen Yang, what a great name. You caused quite a stir across the country a while ago. Even the top scorers in the imperial examinations paled in comparison."

"It's mainly because the media got overly excited; there's really nothing wrong with it."

"How could it be nothing? He's a top author on Qidian.com, a top student at Aurora University, and he's at the very beginning of the university semester. News like this would go viral anywhere. By the way, you should actually call me senior."

"Oh, is Mr. Chen also a graduate of Aurora University?"

"I graduated from Aurora University with a degree in economics in 94."

"Wow……"

Chen Yang immediately addressed him, "Senior, I hope you'll take good care of me in the future."

"Haha, of course, of course. If I don't take care of you, junior, who will I take care of?"

Chen Tianqiao was also very happy.

Especially when he saw Chen Yang, Chen Tianqiao had even more to say: "By the way, although I didn't attend your speech at noon, I did listen to it, and I also participated in the West Lake Sword Debate you mentioned."

Bao Jian explained, "President Chen participated in the Third West Lake Sword Debate."

Everyone applauded.

Then Chen Tianqiao said, "Baojian, I think Chen Yang's suggestion of a 'West Lake Sword Competition' for online novels is an excellent one. How about we hold next year's Qidian annual meeting at West Lake?"

"Okay, let's arrange it at West Lake."

The sword nodded excitedly.

……

"Brothers, what's the news from the Qidian annual meeting? Hurry up and update!"

"Yes, yes, I've been following it closely."

"Sorry, I was eating just now. Continuing with the update... Currently, a group of top authors from Qidian are also eating. I'll let you in on a little news: President Chen is here too."

"Who is Mr. Chen?"

"Chen Tianqiao".

"Holy crap, even a big boss like Chen Tianqiao has come."

"So, do you know how important this year's Qidian Annual Meeting is?"

"So, what the CEO of Shengda Games said this morning about adapting online novel game IPs is true."

"Not only is it true, but it will definitely be selected from all the works on Qidian."

"Wow, this is big news."

On SkyNet, the Qidian Annual Meeting was once again being broadcast live.

"I wonder which game I'll choose?"

"I think we should start by talking about the genre. It's likely to be a virtual genre, such as fantasy or martial arts."

"Could it be that Buddha is the Tao?"

"The Buddha is the Tao, which is impossible. Let alone adapting it into a game, there would be problems even with publishing it."

"Oh, that's true. Tang San's work should have quite a few opportunities."

"Yes, and Chen Dong's too."

"Tomato also has one; his Stellar Transformation is really strong lately."

"There is also a high probability that the 'Great Thousand World' does not praise the gods."

The group chatted occasionally.

"Alright everyone, that's all for today's Qidian Annual Meeting update. We'll continue tomorrow."

"Hey, it's only 9 pm, are all the experts already asleep?"

"No."

"So what did they go to do?"

"It's a private program, so it's not easy to update it anymore."

"Wow, a private program? This is even more interesting! Let's gossip a bit: what have all these big shots been up to?"

"hey-hey."

Stop chuckling and just tell me.

"Sorry, I really can't say. See you tomorrow."

“I said.”

……

It's really nothing.

After the dinner.

Chen Yang and several bigwigs went for a foot bath.

The toad hired him, and he said he went to experience it last night and his technique was excellent.

This has piqued everyone's interest.

This experience.

Indeed, the technique was excellent.

"Don't exaggerate, which work do you think Shengda will choose for IP adaptation this time?"

"That's what the toad said."

"I do not know."

Chen Yang shook his head: "I'd rather it be mine."

This made everyone laugh: "I want mine too."

However, the toad said, "I think you are the most promising."

"How to say?"

“Look, Chen Tianqiao is your senior now.”

"Uh... you can count that?"

Chen Yang said, "There is such a connection between us, but he's a big shot. He invests hundreds of millions in a single game. It's impossible for him to act recklessly just because I'm his junior."

"Correct."

Others agreed.

However, Toad added, "That was all nonsense. The main point is that I think your 'The Great Thousand Worlds' is really suitable for adaptation. For example, the dungeons you created. Like the previous 100-floor Tower of Babel, wow, it's so visually appealing and makes level design very easy. And the series of martial arts techniques and magical treasures in your work... are also very suitable for adaptation into games."

"I think Mr. Chen is probably more concerned about the impact of the work. After all, if an IP adaptation doesn't have enough impact, even the best setting and content... can still flop."

"Yes. However, your work really has a lot of potential. If your work is actually adapted, remember to treat us to a meal later."

"Okay, I'll call 10 girls for you then."

"necessary."

……

The next day.

The annual meeting of Qidian continues.

This day is also the most important day of Qidian's annual meeting. It is also the day that countless authors and readers care about the most.

Yesterday or something.

These are all things that happen within certain circles.

Only the authors seem to care.

Even the author may not be completely concerned.

After all, things like adaptations and games... are irrelevant to many authors.

Available today.

According to sources, the new list of top experts will be officially announced at today's annual meeting.

"The new list of top authors on Qidian is about to be released."

"Hmm, some more amazing authors are about to become gods."

"Yes, please announce it soon."

Many authors are looking forward to the list.

of course.

In principle, these lists have nothing to do with them.

They are just small-time authors.

but.

The release of these lists of top performers is proving to everyone time and time again that you can do it too.

Yes.

You can do it too.

Compared to other industries.

All the authors know this.

The starting point cannot be said to be absolutely fair.

However, Qidian, or rather the online literature sector, is a relatively fair community.

If you have the ability, you can get promoted.

If you write well, you can become a master.

If we change the location...

Excuse me.

Don't even mention having any special abilities, you could have superpowers.

If you can't access it, you just can't access it.

This is why so many authors enjoy online novels and writing in general.

Besides liking it.

More importantly, this is a place where their dreams can become reality.

Perhaps they are the masters this year.

tomorrow.

You could be the master yourself.

……

"I'm happy to announce this year's list of top players again."

Compared to yesterday.

Baojian is much more relaxed today.

"Okay, let's not play riddles. First one, Zhi Qiu, representative work 'Dust of History'."

The name "Zhi Qiu" was displayed on the big screen.

"Not bad, the strength is just right, but the attitude is too Zen."

"Yes, if we update more frequently, we might be able to take it a step further."

The young war correspondents have started updating SkyNet in real time again.

A host of authors have also begun to offer their comments on the newly emerging top authors.

"Second place, Luoshui, whose representative work is 'A Journey to the North'."

On the big screen, the words "Zhi Bei You" were clearly visible.

we can even say.

The title of the work "Zhi Bei You" is more significant than the pen name "Luo Shui".

"Half a book of celestial secrets, what a pity, what a pity."

"It should have been platinum."

"His strength is still very strong, otherwise he could become a top author even if he stopped updating."

"There's nothing we can do about it, this book is just too stylish and too well-written."

Obviously.

Many authors do not agree with Luo Shui's decision to stop updating.

However, it's not clear yet how much impact this hiatus will have on the future.

"Third place, Fang Xiang, whose representative work is 'The Legend of the Master'."

Fang Xiang also achieved legendary status with a single book.

His "The Legend of the Master" is indeed a classic.

"Fourth place..."

There were more spots for top-tier experts in 07 than in 06.

This year, nine authors on Qidian received contracts to become top authors.

"Let's congratulate these 9 authors on becoming rising stars."

applause.

"Is that all?"

"What about not praising God?"

"Wasn't it supposed to be platinum?"

"Sigh, looks like I won't be able to reach Platinum this year."

Many authors were somewhat disappointed to see that Baojian didn't seem to continue reading the list.

"Brother, it's alright."

Xu Acai, who was standing next to Chen Yang, held Chen Yang's hand and comforted him, saying, "You can definitely do it next year."

"Thank you, sis."

Chen Yang nodded; he was actually quite calm.

Although he was a little strange.

However, he is not on the website's side.

Websites have their own considerations.

They will take into account various factors when determining the requirements for a top-tier or platinum-level contract.

just.

Just when everyone thought that the list of top players to be invited had come to an end.

Baojian said again, "I wanted to step down just now, but seeing everyone's anger, I felt that if I stepped down, I would be cursed to death by my fellow authors and readers on Qidian."

"Alright, now for the grand finale."

Baojian opened the document and announced loudly, "This year's platinum author on Qidian is..."

boom.

The title of platinum author was announced.

Countless people stood up abruptly.

"Damn it, I thought there wouldn't be any Platinum this year."

"Haha, Baojian knows that if he doesn't announce it, he'll be beaten up by everyone."

"Absolutely. With such an amazing author, if he's not a platinum author, who is?"

At this moment, everyone looked at Chen Yang.

"Don't look at me like that."

Chen Yang was also somewhat excited, but he remained rational.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Chen Yang said, "If you keep looking at me, and Bai Jin isn't me, I'll be very embarrassed."

This said.

Everyone burst into laughter.

"Unyielding God, if it weren't for you, Bai Jin, I would have gone up and fought the sword."

"Really?"

"real!"

Ning Zhiyuan, Guan Pingchao... and other authors nodded heavily.

the other side.

At this moment, countless writers in the SkyNet community also stood up excitedly.

“Do not exalt the gods.”

“Do not exalt the gods.”

“Do not exalt the gods.”

They said loudly.

"As everyone wishes..."

on site.

Unremarkable in appearance, yet the name Chen Yang... kept coming.

Baojian nodded and said, "That's right, he is indeed unremarkable in appearance."

"From today onwards, he is our Qidian Platinum Author."
