Reborn, I achieved legendary status with a single book.

Chapter 174 I am the No.1 Online Novelist!!! (Please Subscribe)

"I suddenly realized that compared to Chen Yang, that Guo Xiaosi is simply a clown."

"You're only realizing this now."

"I was young and didn't understand back then. I used to like him quite a bit. I liked his 'How Many Flowers Fall in Dreams' and his talent. Now, looking at him, he is indeed quite talented, but he disgusts me now."

The revelation of Chen Yang's identity truly excited onlookers across the country.

Many people already had a good impression of Chen Yang.

At that time, however, everyone thought it was just media hype.

But now.

When Chen Yang's true identity was revealed, people realized that the media hadn't been hyping him up; he was genuinely capable.

Not only are they very capable, but they have also always been very low-key and humble.

The re-exposure of this identity has caused an even greater sensation than before.

"Sigh, Chen Yang used to be too low-key. Now I'm being laughed at by others."

"Me too. I also cursed Chen Yang at first, and now I'm too embarrassed to speak in the group."

"Actually, Chen Yang was already quite famous before, you guys just weren't taking it seriously."

"You mean the incident involving Chen Yang that caused a national sensation last time?"

"No, Chen Yang was already famous before last time."

"No."

"Heh, do you remember the saying, 'No one can inspire my lofty ambitions, so I will tread through the snow to reach the mountain peak'?"

"Holy crap, Chen Yang said that?"

"Of course, that's not all. You've heard of the saying 'Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river.'"

"Damn, he said that too."

"Also, remember how terrifying it was a while ago?"

"Pfft... Don't tell me he said that too."

"That's right, that's what he said too."

……

As a result, the organizations that were exposed also gained considerable attention.

The first to be affected is Shengda.

Shengda's "The Great World" was originally just a hit in the gaming industry.

just now.

Countless netizens, however, turned their attention to "The Great World".

Some people who had never played games before wanted to try out "The Great World".

Next up is the China Film Group.

Numerous organizations, investors, media outlets, directors, actors, and entertainment industry figures are all paying close attention to the film and television adaptation of "The Great Thousand Worlds." Rumors circulated that several top stars were vying for a role in the production. Whether this was true or not, it was obviously false. Nobody would accept roles so quickly. However, even though the news was fake, the mere mention of the "The Great Thousand Worlds" adaptation benefited many actors in the industry, resulting in a significant increase in their fan base.

There's also the Sprout magazine.

Immediately, countless students called the Sprout Magazine to inquire about the competition and submissions.

Also.

Aurora University also gained some attention.

In particular, the advertisement on Aurora University's official website welcomes everyone to apply.

This left many students both amused and exasperated.

"Aurora is arrogant this time."

"Damn it, do you think I don't want to apply?"

"My question is, with a score of 63.6, can I apply to Aurora University?"

"Of course I can apply, but whether I'll accept you is another matter."

"Hahaha……"

of course.

Qidian.com also benefited greatly from this incident.

In addition to the surge in IP traffic.

Even more alarming is that the number of new books added to Qidian.com's database has increased from a few hundred per day to more than 3000 per day.

Although most of the works here are created out of curiosity or casually.

But once the quantity is sufficient, a series of masterpieces might be born.

Even without masterpieces.

Qidian.com's promotional campaign was a resounding success.

Many netizens have been asking, "Can elementary school students write online novels?"

"Yes, yes, Chen Yang was a middle school student when he started writing online novels. You are a little less capable than him. He can earn 1400 million, and you can probably earn 400 million."

"Holy crap... I'll really write it then."

"come on."

……

On Chen Yang's side...

Over the past two days, I've once again experienced the feeling of being the center of attention on campus.

Fortunately, Chen Yang has been at Aurora University for almost a year.

Many students are also quite familiar with Chen Yang.

Although it still shocked everyone, as a top student from Aurora University, the excitement only lasted a few days.

Then, things gradually calmed down.

Occasionally, when Chen Yang walks around the campus, many students will come up to take photos with him.

Chen Yang was very approachable and always satisfied his requests.

……

All of the above.

For Chen Yang, change is secondary.

What truly made Chen Yang realize the significant change was the public's attitude towards online novels.

This is also what Chen Yang is most concerned about.

Just a few days ago, Chen Yang participated in an event organized by the Shanghai Writers Association.

The event involved visiting various organizations in Shanghai.

Upon learning of Chen Yang's arrival, various organizations in Shanghai were incredibly excited, as if they had just met a celebrity.

It's not just Chen Yang's side.

Other online writers also shared their thoughts within the industry.

They said.

Recently, there has been a noticeable increase in activities related to online novelists.

At the same time, when they participate in activities, whether it is traditional writers, other media, or the general public.

They have become incredibly interested in online writers.

Chen Yang knew that this interest likely stemmed from the initial shock of Chen Yang topping the list of China's richest writers.

But such a change will certainly change their views on online literature.

As it is now.

In their hearts, they realized that although reading online novels might not seem like much, writing good online novels could actually make money.

At the same time, online articles are not necessarily unacceptable. If you are like Chen Yang, you can not only be considered respectable, but also gain national attention.

This will be of great benefit to the future development of online literature.

……

"answer me."

"Why? Baby, why?"

"Look me in the eyes and speak!"

Ok.

On the other hand, Xiao Si wasn't so lucky.

His subsequent public feud, however, has led many netizens to frequently visit Guo Jingming's blog to see how others have been proven wrong.

have to say.

The fighting power of these netizens is truly astonishing.

This kind of slap in the face is truly unique.

The famous quotes that occasionally pop up in Xiao Si's comment section can become a hot meme almost every day.

"These netizens are incredibly savvy; they've really slapped us in the face!"

"They are all die-hard fans of the online novels, as well as some online novel readers and authors."

"Pfft... No wonder they're so good at slapping faces, isn't that exactly what they excel at?"

Upon learning the truth, the onlookers were also stunned.

However, they wouldn't sympathize with Xiao Si either.

It's his own fault for bringing this on himself.

If you're ranked second, fine, but why go and question who's first?

If you can earn over 1000 million, why can't others?

More importantly.

There's something fishy about Xiao Si's 1300 million.

As it is now.

Even after being repeatedly proven wrong by netizens, Xiao Si didn't dare to show his face.

He wouldn't dare take that risk.

He actually only earned around 1000 million last year, not 1300 million.

The figure of 1300 million represents the total number of books published by the publishing house.

However... not all of these quantities were sold out.

In other words.

Guo Xiaosi included unsold book sales in his income. He also concealed some details regarding royalties.

This would have been normal in the past.

But now...

These things can't be exposed to the light of day.

but.

This wasn't what upset him the most.

Guo Jingming originally planned to hold a major book launch to strongly promote his new book, Tiny Times.

influenced by.

It's not that Tiny Times can't be released.

But as for sales... the publisher is already planning to reduce the size of the first printing.

……

"Chen Yang, it's nice to see you again."

"Ms. Liu Jie, I'm sorry to have taken up your precious time."

"Don't mention it. But I never expected to be asked to interview you again."

Ok.

Liu Jie, a reporter from News 30 Minutes, has once again visited the Aurora University campus.

"Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river... I think this saying needs to be changed."

Looking at Chen Yang, Liu Jie said.

"Change to what?"

"Change it to: Thirty days east of the river, thirty days west of the river, never underestimate a young man's potential."

"Pfft..."

Chen Yang was amused by Liu Jie.

Don't say it yet.

It really is.

In just thirty days, Chen Yang's identity underwent a dramatic transformation.

At the same time, the last line, "Never underestimate a young man's potential," is a perfect reflection of reality.

He topped the list of China's richest writers, and the cry of "Don't underestimate the poor young" is timely.

"Just kidding, let's get started."

"Ok."

After some casual conversation, the interview with Liu Jie officially began.

Because it's CCTV, the interviews cover relatively serious topics.

This is also what mainstream media values ​​most.

Liu Jie said, "First of all, congratulations to Chen Yang on topping the list of China's richest writers."

"Thank you."

"We have noticed that Chen Yang, you are entering the Chinese Writers Rich List for the first time as an online novelist."

"The China Rich List of Writers does not explicitly define me as an online novelist or as a writer. However, I am indeed an online novelist. The media buzz is also because of my identity as an online novelist."

What are your thoughts on online novelists?

"I think it's just a name, I don't have much of an opinion on it."

"But in the past, many people had a prejudice against the term 'online novelist'."

"Since it's prejudice, it's obviously wrong. As we see now, people are gradually changing their views."

"Is this the reason you agreed to be included in the Chinese Writers' Rich List?"

"You could say that I've always felt there's no difference between online writers and traditional writers; they're both writers, just with different genres and serialization platforms."

"But there's one thing that many people don't understand, and the public will ask, why do online novelists make so much money?"

"This is related to the type of work."

"So, online novels are more appealing to the general public and more relatable?"

"On the surface, yes, but the deeper reason is that online literature inherits elements of traditional Chinese culture. For example, the Four Great Classical Novels, if placed in today's context, would inherently possess the genes of online literature. Furthermore, before the Four Great Classical Novels, we have had countless legendary stories, myths, fables, and so on passed down through the ages—these are all popular genres. Our online literature inherits these traditions, which gives it an advantage in terms of popularity and adaptation compared to other types of literature."

"Chen Yang, you mentioned this point last time as well."

"Yes, I mentioned it last time, but not many people paid attention."

“I think there will be a different reaction after you say it this time.”

"I also hope that."

Chen Yang nodded.

He simply wants to bring online literature into the mainstream.

On the one hand, Chen Yang himself is an online novelist.

on the other hand.

The better the online literature industry develops, the more money he can earn.

Logically, this makes perfect sense.

Of course, there's one more.

A good reputation for online literature is extremely beneficial to all authors engaged in it.

This benefit extends beyond just income; it also includes an individual's reputation in society.

This is especially true for some less successful authors.

For example, authors whose first subscriptions are less than 100.

Put it before.

On the one hand, they felt ashamed of their achievements and were embarrassed to tell others.

On the other hand, they are not well-regarded by the outside world.

Many times, under such double pressure, some people leave the industry.

But it's different now.

Even if the income is not high for the time being, at least... the outside world is more tolerant of this identity.

"Chen Yang, people say you're the number one online novelist. What's your opinion on that?"

At the end of the interview, Liu Jie raised a very important question.

Chen Yang was also somewhat excited about this topic.

he knows.

If this topic is answered well...

In the future, he might actually become the number one online writer.

I thought about it.

Chen Yang said, "Teacher Liu Jie, I feel both apprehensive and expectant about this title."

"How to say?"

"What I fear is that I am not capable enough, and others will criticize me to death. But on the other hand, I want to work towards that goal."

"Actually, I saw it. This is our second interview, and I can feel your passion for online literature, as well as your protection and promotion of the entire online literature ecosystem. I also hope that the entire online literature industry will develop better and better. In this way, I will be able to see more excellent online literature works."

"Does Ms. Liu Jie also read online novels?"

"If I said I wanted to urge you to update the chapters, would you believe me?"

"Haha, Ms. Liu Jie, if you're going to urge me to finish this interview, then you'll have to end it sooner."

"Okay, the top online writer's words still carry weight. Let's end the interview here."

Without further ado, Liu Jie quickly finished her work.

……

That night.

In the 30-minute news segment, Chen Yang's second interview was broadcast.

Chen Yang officially appeared before the public as the number one online writer.

of course.

For those outside the circle, they may not have much of a feeling about it.

but.

For those in the industry, that would cause a huge sensation.

"Brother Bu Yang, you're awesome."

"The number one online writer, truly deserving of the title,"

"Bu Yang Shen, if you weren't a little bit better than me, I wouldn't be convinced."

Ok.

If it were any other author, the title of "Number One Online Writer" would definitely be fiercely contested within the industry.

But if it's Chen Yang...

this moment.

Let alone the fact that ordinary authors have no objections.

Even the top authors had no objections.

of course.

Chen Yang still modestly said a few words in the group: "Don't say that, it's too provocative."

Xiaoyao Wanli said, "Yes, you're just stirring up trouble. I'm envious, I'm really envious. But there's no use in being envious, my strength doesn't allow me to challenge you."

"Hahaha... Don't be modest, you 'Bu Yang Shen'. Don't you see, there's even a post about you on SkyNet?"

"What post?"

"No, look."

The author, Guan Pingchao, shared a link in the group.

Chen Yang clicked on it to take a look.

The title above reads: Chen Yang, the No.1 Online Writer.

The main text states: Who agrees? Who disagrees?!
