Reborn, I achieved legendary status with a single book.

Chapter 240 This must be a top-tier author's alternate account, it definitely is. (Please subscribe)
"I watched the video explanation, what do you think?"

"Wow, quite a few people are reading this book. This is my first time reading a book online, so I'll take a look."

"Is this the book 'Sword Comes,' which I, Qi Jingchun, have hoarded all the compensation money accumulated by the town over three thousand years?"

Methods of driving traffic through videos.

It can be said that it opened the eyes of people in the industry.

Many people didn't expect this.

This video explanation format has surprisingly attracted so much traffic.

In fact, this is easy to understand when viewed from a later perspective.

Just like some novels.

It started off well, but didn't become a huge success.

However, once Douyin (TikTok) attracts traffic, there is an instant surge in traffic.

At this time, Tudou.com could not compare with Douyin in later generations.

However, in 2010, when smartphones were not yet particularly popular, reading books was one of the more mainstream ways to access information online.

of course.

This kind of traffic generation is actually complementary.

The live streamers on Tudou.com also want to gain traffic by editing or playing content related to "Sword Comedy".

even.

At this time, Li Hanxiao was a popular videographer on Tudou.com.

At this point, a cosplayer appeared.

She played one of the female characters, Nguyen Thu, the daughter of Nguyen Qiong, the last saint of the town.

She was the reincarnation of the God of Fire.

It can clearly see all the good and evil in the world.

They can even see through people's hearts.

Therefore, she disdains all those outstanding individuals who try to approach her in various ways.

Because she can see clearly what these people are planning to do with her with just one glance.

But only Chen Ping'an.

Yet, he was utterly sincere, his heart as pure as clear well water, without any impurities.

This even moved Ruan Xiu, who was the reincarnation of the God of Fire.

"How about it."

When Li Hanxiao was dressed as a young girl named Ruan Xiu, Chen Yang was stunned.

"Does it look good?"

"nice."

"What's so beautiful about it?"

"It's beautiful everywhere."

"Then tell me the most beautiful place."

"Legs, and..."

"Where else?"

"You can tell by looking where my eyes are."

"Don't look around. If you were Chen Ping'an, you would have been eliminated by Ruan Xiu immediately."

Li Han smiled and said, "Chen Yang, you have to keep it up. Look, a newcomer has become famous, while your new book is still flopping."

"It's okay, let him be famous."

Chen Yang continued to stare at certain more attractive spots.

This made Li Hanxiao feel embarrassed: "Please don't keep looking at me like that."

"It would be such a waste not to watch it."

"There's no need to keep watching it."

"Staring at it means you like it. Um, um, can I touch it?"

Chen Yang touched his nose and felt like he was about to get a nosebleed.

You can't touch it.

Besides, it can't be done in public.

As a photographer, Chen Yang took hundreds of photos of Li Hanxiao in cosplay.

of course.

There are also some snapshots that Chen Yang took, which he kept for his own enjoyment and didn't want others to see.

Although Li Hanxiao would glare at Chen Yang every time he took a bunch of random photos.

However, seeing Chen Yang's perverse sense of humor, Li Hanxiao simply ignored him.

……

"8 collections".

Seeing that the number of favorites had exceeded 8 so quickly, Chen Yang was amazed by the video's influence.

Think about it too.

Words.

Although it was also very exciting, there was no sound, no pictures, and no visuals.

It all depends on the reader's imagination.

And it looks rather tiring.

Where else can you find videos that are easier, simpler, and have a wider reach?

The influence of many books in later generations came after they were adapted into films and television series.

However, videos have their advantages.

Written language also has its advantages.

The imagination conveyed by words can sometimes be more powerful than that of sound or video.

After all, there are some scenes that many videos may not be able to depict.

same.

Without these texts, there would be no video.

"Okay, I'm here."

Seeing the crowd of readers urging him to update, Chen Yang released the latest chapter.

The latest chapter continues the story from the previous chapter.

"Sir, are you leaving?"

The two walked together, and Qi Jingchun kept giving instructions to the young Chen Ping'an.

Although Chen Ping'an had not read many books, he could only listen to lectures outside the school window when he had free time.

This made Chen Ping'an extremely grateful to the gentleman.

He had no parents from a young age.

The gentleman cared for him like an elder.

This warm current warmed Chen Ping'an's entire life.

But listening to Qi Jingchun's earnest teachings, he also noticed something amiss and asked a question.

Qi Jingchun said, "Yes, I have to go."

"There are too many people outside who want me dead, and I have no choice but to give them my own options."

See here.

The book lovers were moved to tears once again.

"Mr. Qi, are you going to die?"

"Yes, he may be going against the will of Heaven."

Why would he defy the will of Heaven?

"To save the lives of more than 6000 people in the town."

"He should just leave. Didn't he say that a gentleman doesn't save people? Why doesn't he do that when it comes to himself?"

Such a fascinating character, no reader would want him to die.

But that's how the story unfolded.

of course.

There are also some things they can't understand.

Why did he teach Chen Ping'an that a gentleman should not save someone?

If saving someone means risking your own life, then it's better not to save them at all.

A gentleman may be a gentleman, but he need not be pedantic.

If it were me...

They certainly wouldn't risk their lives.

"Actually, sir..."

Some readers actually have some understanding in their hearts.

but.

They were unable to articulate Qi Jingchun's level of understanding.

They continued watching.

Qi Jingchun parted ways with the young Chen Ping'an.

Qi Jingchun met one of his junior fellow disciples, Ma Zhan.

Ma Zhan was a disciple of the Sage of Literature.

Because his talent was not as great as that of some other disciples, such as Qi Jingchun, he remained unknown. He taught at the school alongside Qi Jingchun.

Qi Jingchun asked him to lead a group of students to the Cliff Academy to study after his death.

Although Ma Zhan was unknown, he was actually a person with inner talent.

Upon learning that Qi Jingchun was determined to defy the will of Heaven, Ma Zhan tried to persuade Qi Jingjie to leave the town.

Two people playing chess.

Ma Zhan sat opposite Qi Jingchun, playing chess while asking, "What does it mean that heaven and earth give birth to a virtuous person, and a virtuous person governs heaven and earth?"

Qi Jingchun replied, "Heaven and earth give birth to and nurture the virtuous, and the virtuous should govern heaven and earth."

Ma Zhan then asked, "Then what is the meaning of 'learning should never cease,' and 'the indigo plant is extracted from the indigo plant, yet it is bluer than the plant itself'?"

Qi Jingchun replied, "Learning has no end. By building upon the foundations laid by our predecessors and expanding our knowledge, we can eventually surpass our teachers in learning."

Ma Zhan placed a piece, his expression a mixture of bewilderment and extreme agitation: "If that's the case, why did you act so rashly? Why insist on sacrificing a hundred years of cultivation and a thousand years of enlightenment for a small town that can only hold five or six thousand people?"

talking.

Ma Zhan slammed his hand on the table and stood up: "You are Qi Jingchun, the teacher's most valued disciple, a scholar who is expected to establish a school and become a founder."

This is how the game is played.

It's not in the original work.

Chen Yang made some modifications.

He included the adaptations from the anime here.

Actually, the original work also conveyed a similar meaning.

However, the original text uses narration, which is only meant to inform readers.

But if Ma Zhan had said these words, they would have carried even more weight.

Even Chen Yang.

As he finished writing this chapter, he looked at it and his emotions were also stirred by Ma Zhan.

As an outsider.

Sometimes, it's hard to understand why Qi Jingchun does what she does.

Qi Jingchun is no ordinary person.

He's a god.

He is a saint.

No.

He could even establish a religion and become its founder; he would be the number one person in the world.

Such a person.

In his eyes, all living beings are nothing at all.

Just like how people from the mountains, such as Cai Jinjian, view people from the foot of the mountain.

of course.

Cai Jinjian was inherently evil.

But some of them are not bad mountain people.

They wouldn't bully ordinary people for no reason, but the sense of superiority is always ingrained in their bones.

Therefore, Ma Zhanhui was puzzled.

Let alone Qi Jingchun.

Ma Zhan asked himself if he was so foolish that he would not give up his life for these people from the foot of the mountain.

"why?"

"why?"

The final result.

Everyone knows.

That is death and the annihilation of one's spiritual path.

Qi Jingchun did not answer.

The sound of students reading aloud filled his ears.

This is a sound he has often heard during his 60 years of teaching in his small town.

Qi Jingchun believes that she has not made much of a contribution to the town.

To talk about contributions

The number of students I've taught is only a small fraction.

"Heaven and earth give birth to the virtuous man, and the virtuous man pays homage to heaven and earth. The virtuous man is..."

Qi Jingchun stood up and said to Ma Zhan, "All living beings are equal. No one can arbitrarily take away another's life or death, let alone the life and death of more than 6000 people."

Ma Zhan was even more agitated: "Have you forgotten what the master said about distinguishing between the noble and the lowly?"

Qi Jingchun frankly said, "Sir, your knowledge is undoubtedly vast, but your reasoning may not be entirely correct."

Ma Zhan said, "Ritual is the means to rectify one's conduct."

Qi Jingchun calmly said, "A wise man yields when it is time to yield, and he extends when it is time to extend."

Ma Zhan roared, "A gentleman will not save someone."

Qi Jingchun said, "A sage should not shirk his duty!"

boom.

this moment.

To all readers who have made it this far.

I felt that this book was shining brightly.

They felt that the words in the book were as if they had come to life, displaying their brilliance to the fullest.

They were so dazzling, so awe-inspiring.

"A virtuous person will not save someone, but a sage will not shirk his duty."

"A virtuous person will not save someone, but a sage will not shirk his duty."

"A virtuous person will not save someone, but a sage will not shirk his duty."

Those who have read "Notes from the Thatched Cottage of Close Observation" will know that there is such a story in the book.

The story says that a light will appear above the head of a scholar.

The more accomplished a person is in their studies, the more radiant they become.

If they were just scholars or the like, the light above their heads might be like stars, flashing on and off.

Even more accomplished scholars shine like the moon.

Even more powerful are those like the saints.

The light above their heads is the sun.

They came out.

All the stars, the moon... have disappeared.

Qi Jingchun, this scholar, appeared like the sun shining brightly in the darkness.

He illuminated everyone.

"The words of the gentleman are like the sun illuminating the world."

The shock in my heart came wave after wave.

All the readers who hadn't understood before now understood.

Yes.

Qi Jingchun was very disappointed with this world, but he still repeatedly told Chen Ping'an not to lose hope in it.

Qi Jingchun clearly told Chen Ping'an that a gentleman would not save someone.

But when it was his turn...

He said, however, that he, Qi Jingchun, would shoulder the responsibility of the Heavenly Retribution accumulated over three thousand years in the town.

Why is that?
This is because.

A sage should not shirk his duty.

……

"I have learned a great deal from this chapter. May Mr. Qi rest in peace."

"A sage, he did not shirk his duty; tears welled up in my eyes."

"Damn it, which bastard made me discover this book so late? I hate you."

"Brother, you should thank that friend. It's not too late for you to find out now. If you had found out a few years later, you would have been spitting blood."

"This is really well written. I used to think that online novels were just for beginners. Today, I'm wrong."

"Yes. If it were this enjoyable at the beginning, this book could probably rival the legendary book 'The Unsung God'."

The comments section was already exploding.

of course.

Countless colleagues in the industry also suffered losses.

"Brothers, the latest chapter of Sword Comes is truly amazing. I feel like I'll never reach this level in my entire life."

"I saw it too. A gentleman wouldn't save someone. A saint, on the other hand, would step up without hesitation. That's fucking awesome."

"The saying 'A gentleman does not save others' comes from Mencius, and 'One should not yield to what is right' comes from the Analects. The two sentences combined have such great power. When I was reading them, I thought I was reading the classics of the ancient Chinese philosophers, not an online novel."

"I think this book will become even more popular."

"Definitely. But is this really written by a newcomer?"

"Impossible. This must be a master's alternate account, it must be."

The group of fellow authors said excitedly.
