Reborn, I achieved legendary status with a single book.

Chapter 27 A Grandmaster, Unremarkable in Appearance.

"Teacher Zhang, how many points do I get for winning first prize in the New Concept Writing Competition?"

"10 points."

Are there any other competitions that could give me extra points?

"Yes, for example, winning first prize in the Ye Shengtao Cup Essay Contest can also add points. However, this is not a direct addition of points, but rather requires meeting certain policies and conditions to receive points."

"If I win both the first prize in the New Concept Writing Competition and the first prize in the Ye Shengtao Cup, will I get even more points?"

"You think beautifully."

Zhang Yu rolled her eyes at Chen Yang and said, "Points for different awards cannot be combined; you can only choose one."

"That's it."

Chen Yang suddenly had no ideas.

"You're not thinking of participating in the Ye Shengtao Cup or other major competitions to get +100 points, so that you can get 500 points on the college entrance exam and get into a prestigious university."

"Haha, Professor Zhang Yu, how did you know?"

"It's good to be confident. However, if you are confident, I can actually sign you up for the Ye Shengtao Cup Essay Contest."

"Thank you, Teacher Zhang. It must have been quite a hassle for you to come all this way to participate in the competition."

"You boy."

Zhang Yu smiled and thought to herself, "This little guy is quite confident."

Suddenly, Zhang Yu was looking forward to Chen Yang's results in the New Concept Writing Competition.

……

The playground of No. 2 Middle School.

After the 15-minute break between classes ended, Liang Wan suddenly walked up to Chen Yang and asked, "Chen Yang, what were you doing taking leave the other day?"

"I'm sick."

"is it?"

Before Chen Yang could answer, Liang Wan said with a smile, "New Concept English."

"..."

Chen Yang was taken aback: "How did you know?"

Chen Yang, who dislikes being in the limelight, had previously told Zhang Yu that he didn't want to make this public.

Unexpectedly, Liang Wan knew about it.

"Secret."

Liang Wan said, "Wow, what a talented young man! You've even participated in the New Concept Writing Competition. Will you become a great writer like Han Han and Guo Jingming in the future?"

"I just signed up for the competition. Besides, there are thousands or even tens of thousands of participants; how can everyone become a great writer?"

"That's true. But being able to participate in the New Concept Writing Competition is already quite an achievement. Could you teach me how to write essays? My mom says my essays are really bad."

Chen Yang had a bit of a headache and said, "I really don't know how to teach. However, you can take a look at my essays."

"Okay."

"Don't talk nonsense about the New Concept Writing Competition."

"Understood, great talent."

……

Two weeks' time.

finally.

"I Come From Billions of Light Years Ago" has successfully topped the monthly ticket chart for new books.

People in the industry were very excited and kept saying on Sky.com that as long as the book is good, even the best writers will have to back down.

Thus, another saying became popular: "A good article can be broken."

Ok.

Chen Yang's new book gave them hope.

As long as the book is good, I'm not afraid of anything, even facing a brush.

Chen Yang was also very excited.

Being number one on the new book chart also means he can receive a reward of 1 yuan.

In addition, there's the cost of a two-week subscription.

Breaking 20,000 this month is no problem.

In fact, Chen Yang could have earned more.

For example, update more often.

But there was really no other way.

I have to attend classes, review, and write... It's already pretty good if I can manage two chapters a day.

but.

While Chen Yang won the monthly ticket champion on the new book chart,
A series of works imitating "I Come From Billions of Light Years" have also appeared on Qidian.

no way.

The series of classic plot devices in "I Come From Billions of Light Years" are simply too classic.

Especially when the character Chen Beixuan appeared.

It pushed Chen Yang's tactic of showing off and then slapping people in the face to its peak.

These plots and tropes are classic pretentious scenes that I summarized after experiencing more than 20 years in my previous life.

Even works by ordinary authors can't compare to Chen Yang's.

Therefore, whenever the authors thought of various pretentious and face-slapping plots, Chen Yang's various scenes would appear in their minds.

Sometimes, they even unconsciously imitated Chen Yang's scenes.

There are too many such imitations.

Accidentally.

Recently, a large number of new urban fantasy novels on Qidian's new book chart have followed the same formula as "I Come From Billions of Light Years".

……

"Brother Bu Yang, may I interview you?"

In the Qidian new author group, data maniac Xiao Chao sent a message to Chen Yang.

"Xiao Chao, you're actually in our group?"

Chen Yang was somewhat surprised: "You're the idol of everyone on SkyNet."

"What idol? I'm just someone who has a lot of data and is recognized by everyone. Compared to you bestselling authors, I'm just a nobody."

"You're too kind. An interview is fine, but I can only accept written interviews."

"Haha, of course, I'm not some famous media person or anything, I just do written interviews."

Xiao Chao sent an emoji, and then formally said: "First of all, congratulations on winning the monthly ticket ranking for new books."

"Thank you."

"When you posted your single chapter aiming for first place, did you ever consider that someone might rig the votes?"

"I didn't think of that at the time."

"You've seen others rigging votes, yet you still say you're aiming for first place. Are you really that confident?"

"It has nothing to do with confidence; it's really just a belief. As long as that belief is there, I won't have any regrets even if I don't win first place."

"Awesome! No wonder your plots are so classic. This kind of conviction is something that ordinary authors can't write. I, Chen Beixuan, have never needed to explain my actions to others. Hahaha, please allow me to say it out loud."

Xiao Chao was also impressed, and then asked again, "Have you been looking at the recent Qidian new book rankings?"

"Sorry, I haven't been paying much attention to the new book charts lately. What's up? Has a great new book come out?"

"No, not at all. But there have been a lot of works that imitate 'I Come From Billions of Light Years'. Why don't you take a look?"

"Let me see."

Chen Yang opened the Qidian website and scrolled down to the new book list.

really.

I randomly picked a few books, and they were all imitations of my own works.

"I saw it."

"Brother Bu Yang, I'd like to ask if you mind."

"As long as it's not plagiarism, I don't mind some borrowing."

"Brilliant."

Xiao Chao gave three thumbs up.

Chen Yang explained, "It's not about being amazing or anything. Look at those masters who created a series of genres. Like the Primordial Era genre, the Ethereal Cultivation genre, the Online Game genre... We actually borrowed from their works, and they didn't object at all. Besides, as I've said before, I'm just an author who writes light novels. My books aren't anything profound or mysterious. If my books can give people some inspiration and experience, I'll be happy."

"I'm truly impressed, Brother Bu Yang."

this time.

Xiao Chao was genuinely convinced.

"It's not that serious. Actually, I do have some selfish motives."

Chen Yang said, "The more people imitate me, the more it proves that I write well. Word of mouth spreads, and more readers will come to read my book. You see, I haven't recommended anything for the past two weeks. But, since it was released, the average daily sales have been steadily increasing."

Chen Yang sent Xiao Chao a screenshot.

Half a month's time.

Chen Yang's average order value has increased from 7000 to 8000.

Compared to my previous life, this is not fast.

However, for a market that wasn't particularly large in 06, such an increase was already quite remarkable.

To know.

Chen Yang's 7000 initial subscriptions were almost the limit for urban-themed subscriptions on Qidian in 06.

"By the way, could you please post this interview on Sky.com?"

"can."

Chen Yang nodded.

"Okay, thank you, Brother Buyang."

Xiao Chao ended the interview.

Then I edited this interview and posted it on Sky.com.

At the end of the article.

Xiao Chao wrote a sentence:

In terms of pioneering genres, it doesn't stand out and hasn't created major categories like the Primordial Era genre, the Cultivation genre, or the Online Game genre.

But the fact that so many people are following suit and imitating the plot of "I Come From Billions of Light Years" is surprising.

I can say that.

Despite his unassuming appearance, he was already a grandmaster.
