Reborn, I achieved legendary status with a single book.

The last question in Chapter 17: Is your surname Chen?

"Well written, even better spoken."

"I think that's why we enjoy watching 'I'm From Billions of Light Years'."

"Or rather, this is why we like reading online novels."

Everyone in the chat room was excited.

Many authors were also deeply affected by this.

This inspiration wasn't just from Chen Yang's writing insights shared in the chat room.

More importantly, Chen Yang shared his insights on "the Chen family producing dragons".

In fact, many authors who write online novels hope that the protagonist is like Chen Fan in "I Come From Billions of Light Years".

Or perhaps, readers will identify with the protagonist and hope to bring honor to their ancestors.

But a pity.

Many online articles clearly intended to address this point, but failed to fully express it.

Or rather, the performance wasn't perfect enough.

But Chen Yang completely unleashed this perfection.

That's why everyone was excited when they saw "Chen Family Produces a Dragon".

"Although 'I Come From Billions of Light Years' did not create any new genre, the fact that he was able to write 'The Emergence of the Chen Family' already shows the potential of a grandmaster."

"Yes, in the future, whenever people recall the Chen family's outstanding talent, they will definitely remember that he was not good-looking."

"If that's the case, then this year's list of top authors on Qidian will probably need to include one more name."

Some veteran authors on Qidian (a Chinese online literature platform) expressed similar sentiments.

……

"Bu Yang Da just gave a very good presentation. I even wanted to invite him to give a lecture at our Qidian editorial department, but due to time constraints, I'll now hand the time over to you. I will randomly select three audience members, and you can ask Bu Yang Da any questions you may have."

Then, Gu Yue randomly selected three audience members.

The first viewer asked: "Uncle Bu Yang, could you please update more each day? You only have two chapters a day, and what's even more infuriating is that each chapter is only 2000 words, while others have 3000 words."

"This, this..."

Chen Yang felt a little embarrassed when he said that.

It's hard to say about him.

Don't be fooled by the fact that each chapter is 2000 words during the public release period.

Wait until I publish it, then you'll see how many words each chapter has.

Chen Yang wished each chapter could be 1 words.

However, Chen Yang was good at making excuses, and said, "The main reason is that I don't have much time during the day, and I usually update at night. So each chapter is only about 2000 words."

However, this is also a real problem.

Chen Yang had to attend classes during the day, so he could only write some things secretly at night.

Maintaining two chapters a day is already quite good.

"Hey Mr. Bu Yang, um, could you please share some nude photos of you?"

"Pfft..."

Chen Yang, with tears streaming down his face, said, "It's impossible for nude photos to be released. A handsome man like me should remain a bit mysterious."

The third audience member asked: "Master Bu Yang, why are there so many female characters in your works? Are all of these female characters going to be added to your harem?"

"Spoilers are not good. However, everyone loves beauty. If the protagonist isn't attracted to so many beautiful women, I think that would be a problem."

After the three questions were answered, the chat room was flooded with messages again.

"Host, why only select three audience members?"

"Why not pick 10 audience members?"

"Yes, why not draw 100?"

"I also wanted to ask if Bu Yang has a girlfriend."

"Oh, you're a woman?"

"No."

"It's not you asking about the price."

"I have a very pretty female classmate who I'd like to introduce to Bu Yang University."

"What good will this do you?"

"I want to exchange it for the draft manuscript of Bu Yangda."

"I pfft..."

Then, Gu Yue continued, "Finally, we would like to ask Bu Yangda, what would you like to say to us?"

"There really is one."

Chen Yang said.

Chen Yang had prepared well in advance for this interview.

"First of all, to all the readers, if the book is released online, I hope you will support the official version. Of course, I can't stop you from reading pirated versions. After all, everyone's situation is different. Some of you may still be students, and some of you may not be able to afford it. But if you are able to support the official version, I hope you will."

Chen Yang's words received positive feedback from the readers in the chat room.

Then, Chen Yang said, "Gu Yueju, may I make a suggestion to Qidian?"

"Please tell me." "Could the rules for the Qidian Monthly Ticket Ranking be changed?"

"what do you mean?"

"I'm not saying we don't need a monthly ticket ranking; I think it's a very good competitive mechanism. However, the current monthly ticket ranking only has competition, not rewards. That is to say, whether it's first place, second place, tenth place, or one hundredth place, they are all the same. At most, the first place has some honor, and everyone knows that they are number one."

"And what do you think?"

"How about we give the top 10 on the monthly ticket ranking a reward? For example, let's give the first place 1 yuan first."

The current Qidian monthly ticket ranking does not have a reward system.

While 1 yuan might not have been much in my previous life, it was a decent income in 2006.

In addition, the number of subscriptions on Qidian in 06 was not as large as it would be in later years.

This 1 yuan is very important.

As for why Chen Yang said it so directly, it's because it's a win-win situation not only for the author but also for Qidian.

In addition, in his previous life, Chen Yang communicated directly with editors and fellow authors, focusing on the essentials rather than engaging in complexities like those found in real life.

Everyone here is genuine and says what they mean.

"I……"

Gu Yue was already dumbfounded.

He truly hadn't expected Chen Yang to make such a suggestion.

However, the authors in the chat room wholeheartedly agreed: "Yes, that's very well said. I agree with not being arrogant."

"I agree too."

"Yes, let's give the first place a prize of 1 yuan first."

"The first place winner gets 10,000 yuan, and the second place winner should get at least 8000 yuan."

"Yes, yes, everyone who makes it into the top 10 will receive a reward."

Seeing the support from many authors in the chat room.

Some readers were amused as well.

"Interesting, really interesting."

"I was wondering if Bu Yangda's new book will be available next month?"

"Nonsense, why bother talking about this if we're not going to put it on the shelves or promote it?"

"Pfft... Bu Yangda, what are you up to? We heard everything from next door."

The readers burst into laughter.

Obvious.

Everyone could see that this guy was just trying to benefit himself.

"I need to report this to my supervisor."

The host, Gu Yue, glanced at the editor-in-chief beside her, then at the editor-in-chief on her right, and said nothing.

The editor-in-chief of Qidian was also amused: "It seems this author is quite remarkable, as he's already offering feedback to Qidian. In that case, let's have a meeting later to discuss it."

"Thank you, Bu Yangda. I have one last question. This is a question that countless readers have wanted to ask."

Gu Yue then asked a final question.

"You asked."

"Excuse me, is your surname Chen?"

this sentence.

A loud bang echoed in the live stream room.

Everyone knows.

This isn't as simple as asking if Chen Yang's surname is Chen.

This person, surnamed Chen, has a very important connection.

Is your surname Chen?

"It's possible, but it's also possible it isn't."

"Didn't you say that many of the main characters in the book have the surname Chen because the author's surname is also Chen?"

"That seems to be the case. However, Chen is a common surname, so it's normal for many people to make their protagonists surnamed Chen. Furthermore, surnames like Chen, Ye, Su, Qin, Lin, etc., are standard surnames for protagonists in online novels, and they sound quite imposing. Therefore, many authors who don't have the surname Chen also make their protagonists surnamed Chen."

"Damn, does that Bu Yangda actually have the surname Chen?"

The viewers in the chat room were extremely anxious.

They stared at the screen, their eyes unblinking.

Chen Yang naturally knew what Gu Yue meant by asking this question.

But we've already come this far.

Keeping a low profile is no longer an option.

Without hesitation, Chen Yang nodded and typed a single word on the public channel: "Yes".

This one word.

The chat room exploded with a bang; it felt like a novel had come to life, an indescribable excitement.
