Reborn, I achieved legendary status with a single book.

Chapter 164, "The Great World Online," is now in its official closed beta test.

Chapter 164, "The Great Thousand Worlds Online," is now in its official closed beta test.

"This is terrifying! Is this even possible?"

Looking at the trending topics list, "Terrifyingly terrifying" has made it onto the trending list.

The authors in the circle were so shocked that their mouths were practically agape, as if they could swallow an egg whole.

As for those netizens who complained about how terrifying it was on Sky.com, they were all instantly dumbfounded.

"I was wrong, I didn't praise God, I'm sorry."

"I was wrong too. Actually, being this terrifying is quite nice. I suddenly realized that he seems to have a lot of magic."

“I do not proclaim God, truly, I have truly realized my mistake.”

of course.

This dramatic reversal made industry insiders realize the terrifying nature of "Battle Through the Heavens".

Yes.

Getting on the trending topics list isn't something you can do easily.

He needs to trend on social media; he needs a huge following.

There's no popularity.

No matter how bizarre the event, he could never make it to the trending topics.

The reason why something as terrifying as this can trend on social media is because of its immense popularity.

Just like the saying goes, "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river."

Although this is a classic statement.

But the underlying logic tells you that this is because of Battle Through the Heavens' immense popularity.

Without the support of this popularity, no matter how classic your writing is, it will be difficult to break into the mainstream.

"I'm almost afraid to estimate how many subscriptions Doupo will get after it's released."

"Yeah, the data is terrifying, it's trending on social media all the time."

"Yes, Bu Yangshen can be called the prince of trending topics. He has been on the trending topics list countless times since he started writing books."

"Strength is strength, and you can't argue with that."

"It's so scary."

"Yes, it is terrifying."

……

The recording process for the song "Beijing Welcomes You" is progressing very quickly.

Initially, this song was intended to be a male-female duet, as Chen Yang suggested.

As a result, the Olympic Organizing Committee responded very well after the song was recorded.

It is said that the higher-ups listened to this song, liked it very much, and gave instructions.

I highly recommend this song for the 100-day countdown to the Olympics.

to this end.

The organizing committee then prepared a version featuring a star-studded performance.

Chen Yang also accepted the invitation.

However, the invitation to Chen Yang was not for him to sing.

The reason for inviting Chen Yang is that we hope he can give us some advice during the recording.

This is normal.

After all, this song was originally composed by Chen Yang, so they would definitely respect the original creator's opinion first when recording it.

Chen Yang took a look and found that they had arranged for the recording to take place on a weekend, so he agreed.

A few days later.

Chen Yang came to Taipei once again.

It's still the entrance to Tsinghua University.

When Chen Xuewei saw Chen Yang again, she was stunned: "Chen Yang, don't tell me you're teaching at Tsinghua University."

"Haha, I want to too."

"Then what are you doing in Taipei?"

"secret."

"So secretive?"

"Not really, I'll take you somewhere tomorrow."

"Where."

"You'll know then."

The next day.

Chen Yang brought Chen Xuewei to the Bird's Nest.

When you see countless celebrities and singers that you only see on TV appear in front of you.

After a few seconds of stunned silence, Chen Xuewei asked a group of celebrities for autographs.

Ok.

While idol worship should not be encouraged.

But which young man or woman doesn't like a certain celebrity or singer when they're young?

Let's take a look at the lineup that came to record "Beijing Welcomes You" this time.

Liu Huan, Sun Yanzi, Wang Lihong, Han Hong, Zhou Huajian, Liang Yongqi, Yu Quan, Cheng Long, Ren Xianqi, Jolin Tsai, Sun Nan, Bibi Zhou, Wei Wei, Huang Xiaoming, Han Geng, Wang Feng, Karen Mok, Tan Jing, Eason Chan, Yan Weiwen...

Fifty or sixty well-known singers and celebrities.

It'll make your eyes blurry.

Even Chen Yang, who isn't particularly interested in celebrities, has a few favorites.

Like Zhou Huajian.

I like Zhou Huajian because I enjoy listening to his series of songs with a strong Chinese style.

Swords and dreams, laughter in the martial world, unresolved sutras... these are all classic tracks.

Especially the difficult scriptures.

This song is said to be one that even Zhou Huajian, nowadays, can no longer sing.

Another example is Brother Cheng Long, who is a star among stars.

"Teacher Chen Yang, do you think my singing style is acceptable?"

"Row."

"Teacher Chen Yang, what do you think of this sentence?"

"can."

"Teacher Chen Yang..."

Although Chen Yang came.

But he came just to join in the fun.

Chen Yang didn't care about any guidance or advice.

These are all famous singers; they don't need Chen Yang to guide them on how to sing.

His current task is simply to take photos with Chen Xuewei and a group of singers.

"Chen Yang, you've been hiding a lot of things from me."

After recording for several hours, on the way back, Chen Xuewei said to Chen Yang.

Chen Yang smiled and said, "What do you mean by hiding it? What do you want to know about me? I can't tell you everything."

"Of course you can tell me."

"Then let me tell you, I can be a 'seven-times-a-night' man. Do you want to hear it?"

"Go to hell..."

"You wanted to know my secret, so why are you covering your ears? I'm telling you, I have other things..."

……

The recording of "Beijing Welcomes You" didn't take too long.

Chen Yang treated it as another day of fun in Taipei.

The next morning, Chen Yang returned to Shanghai.

Why are you in such a hurry to come back?

One is writing.

Another thing is that the closed beta test for "The Great World" starts today.

Chen Yang used to love playing games.

Not to mention.

This game is adapted from his own novel.

This feeling is truly indescribable and exciting.

Chen Yang finished typing early.

At 2 PM, Chen Yang entered the game.

Ok.

Shengda had already created an account for Chen Yang and even gifted him a lot of in-game currency.

"Not bad."

"The visuals are great, very fantasy-style."

Chen Yang kept giving it a thumbs up as he watched.

This made him even more excited.

It feels like your work has been made into a TV series or movie.

It's even more enjoyable than TV dramas and movies.

After all, games allow you to control the characters within them and experience the world more directly.

"Ok, Ok."

Although I haven't played it yet, the graphics look great, and it has some of the style of Jade Dynasty.

It seems that Shengda wants to follow the path of Zhuxian.

Chen Yang then looked at the specific gameplay, the shop, and various items.

Ok.

This game should be a free game.

no way.

Although many people say that paid games are more balanced and more fun.

However, despite the general trend of free-to-play games, free-to-play games still make up the majority of the market.

However, Chen Yang glanced at the shop and saw that many of the items were similar to QQ Show items, such as clothes, mounts, and so on.

Even if there are some magical treasures, cultivation techniques... and the like.

However, the added attack power is limited, similar to the skin attributes in later games like Honor of Kings.

Do you think these attributes have been increased?

Indeed there is.

But whether the increase will affect your combat ability is basically negligible.

However, since these skins are quite pretty, Chen Yang felt they would sell well.

"Try going outside for a walk."

Controlling his character, Chen Yang prepared to go outside and enjoy the scenery.

I don't want to just be outside all the time.

He was immediately targeted, and a short while later, he was killed.

"Uh...no way, he's dead already?"

Chen Yang logged back in.

Then proceed with the same steps.

And the result was the same.

I hadn't been out long when I got banned again.

"Damn, this game is so unfriendly! I get killed as soon as I start playing. Am I that hated?"

They came back for the third time.

From a distance, Chen Yang saw several people heading towards him.

As Chen Yang ran, he said, "Dude, I have no grudge against you, why are you trying to kill me?"

"Hey, I'm going to kill you! Instead of updating properly, you're playing games."

"Pfft... You know who I am?"

"You're not exactly handsome, but even if you turned into a ghost, I'd still recognize you."

"I……"

Chen Yang was in tears.

have to.

This account was created for him by Shengda, and the name was chosen based on his pen name.

Ok.

Now I've become the target of everyone's venting.

It's not just these players who want to kill themselves.

They also posted a message on the public channel: "Bu Yang Shen is online. Brothers, if you see him, kill him immediately."

Someone quickly replied: "Yeah, that guy, he rarely updates, and he still has time to play games. Hahaha, I killed him once."

"Brothers, come here and fight the boss. This guy Bu Yang Shen must have been given too much equipment by the official team. He has so many magic items on him. Let's loot his equipment!"

And so, this is how the art style came about.

Wherever Chen Yang appears, hundreds of players will chase after him.

"GM, GM, are you there? Please adjust my attributes."

Chen Yang immediately contacted the GM: "Sis, how am I supposed to fight them all by myself?"

The GM was very clever and immediately increased Chen Yang's attributes.

then.

Chen Yang instantly became the big boss in the game.

and.

The official Daqian World game team also launched a game event: hunting down the original author of Daqian World, who is not good-looking.

Anyone who can kill the seemingly unremarkable person will be rewarded with 1 RMB.

Simultaneously.

Once you kill the unassuming man, all his equipment will be destroyed.

At this moment.

More people rushed towards Chen Yang.

"Wow, I've become the big boss."

However, this way of playing is quite novel.

Chen Yang was controlling his character while battling against a group of players.

finally.

I played for three hours.

Chen Yang was killed by one player amidst attacks from countless other players.

"The game is still very enjoyable."

"Playing games adapted from your own works would be even more fun."

However, we ended up playing for quite a long time.

Chen Yang had other things to do.

Offline.

Chen Yang took a shower.

I probably won't have much time to play anymore.

The main problem is that Chen Yang has to teach classes while also writing.

Playing online games is fun, but everyone knows it takes too much time.

It's fine to play around with it occasionally for leisure, but Chen Yang will probably create a new account later.

If the author still uses the pseudonym "Unremarkable," the gaming experience will be terrible.

A bunch of players came and knocked him out again. How can this game be played?

……

On the first day, there were no classes in the afternoon.

Chen Yang went to the starting point.

The captain was already waiting for Chen Yang at the door: "Brother Bu Yang, have you eaten? Come on, let's grab something to eat."

Chen Yang waved his hand: "I ate at school. I heard the tipping was settled."

"Yes, that's why I reported it to you immediately."

"What kind of report is this? It's like I'm the CEO of Qidian."

"Haha, your status at Qidian is about the same as the CEO."

With Chen Yang by his side, the two arrived at the Qidian office building.

Bao Jian, Cang Jian Jiangnan, Gu Yue, and other senior executives from Qidian were already waiting in the office.

"Don't be so arrogant, it's so early."

"I'm so excited to hear that the tipping system has been finalized. This is a huge benefit for us authors."

"It is indeed a benefit. However, we still have many questions about this tipping system, and we hope you can give us some suggestions. This is our initial proposal for the tipping system."

Chen Yang glanced at it and said, "It's alright, but I think the maximum single donation amount should be raised to 1000 yuan."

"Is 1000 yuan too much?"

"I think it's fine. After all, tipping is not a subscription; it's entirely voluntary for readers. If they have the money, some readers will support them. So this isn't a burden for readers. They can tip or not, it's perfectly fine. Of course, if someone is generous, they can tip more. Since there are generous readers, 1000 yuan isn't too much."

In his previous life, Chen Yang had seen far too many nouveau riche.

"By the way, if someone tips 1000 yuan, they should also be given a certain title, such as 'Alliance Leader'."

Following the path he had taken in his previous life, Chen Yang offered many suggestions.

While tipping is a form of benefit for authors, it is still a way to reward them.

But we also need to give book lovers some exposure.

Otherwise, if someone gives a tip and there's no response, who would bother giving tips?

The wealthy people not only like your work but also like to tip you.

But no matter how much you tip, you have to let everyone know that you're a big spender.

Even in the era of live streaming, he still has to be called the top influencer, right?

"In addition, I think that for those who tip more than 500 yuan at the same time, the book review section can automatically display a message in red bold. We can set a few messages first, or let the readers edit them themselves."

Anyway.

As long as someone gives a tip, everything will be done to serve the book lovers who give tips.

However, Chen Yang was really looking forward to the reward system.

But on the other side.

Many people in the industry expressed concern upon learning about the tipping system.

of course.

Worrying doesn't mean not having expectations.

They were actually looking forward to it too.

However, despite their expectations, they felt that the launch of this tipping system wouldn't bring about much of a qualitative change.

At most, you can earn an extra few dozen yuan a month from tips.

You need to think more.

It's probably unlikely.
