Reborn, I achieved legendary status with a single book.

Chapter 270: My New Work - A Rebirth Novel. (Please Subscribe)
The popularity of "Sword Comes" continues.

Among the many online novel commentators and streamers on Tudou, the one with the highest viewership is Jianlai.

As for the reason.

One is that Sword Comes was already popular.

Another one is.

The explanation of "Sword Comes" is engaging and enjoyable, unlike some other novels that are only explained briefly over a few minutes.

But then the sword came.

Each volume, even each chapter, could be explained for who knows how many minutes.

Even a single line in a novel can often be a foreshadowing.

This also gives Jian Lai a strange sense of superiority.

Often, those who haven't read the novel before are immediately awestruck by the explanations of "Sword Comes" online.

"The sword is still killing people."

"Hmm, now every chapter without an immortal is considered a failure."

"There's no other way. The barbaric demon race has invaded the vast world. It would be abnormal if no one died."

"However, despite the invasion of the barbaric demon race, seeing the unity of Treasure Bottle Continent gives us hope for the vast and righteous world."

"The most exciting line is this one: 'Those who wish to save the world from collapse, please rise up...' Every time I think of it, my blood boils."

The Sword Comes continues to be updated.

Two months of summer vacation have passed in the blink of an eye.

Talk about it.

During the two-month summer vacation, Chen Yang wrote a lot of words.

Of course, besides writing, Chen Yang did a lot of other things.

For example, I participated in some activities.

Several of these events were quite significant, and while they didn't have a major impact on the online literature's performance in the short term, they did improve its reputation.

For example, participating in the National Library's book collection activities during the first month of summer vacation.

For the first time in its history, the National Library of China has included the first online novel, namely "Sword Comes".

Then, the week before last, Chen Yang attended a meeting on the online literature criticism system.

This is something we've been pushing for.

Currently, all parties attach great importance to this area and have developed the first version of the online literature review system plan.

Chen Yang took a look and thought it was acceptable.

This system differs from the traditional literary system.

But there are also similar ones.

What they have in common is their literary quality, such as characters, language, plot, and structure.

In addition to these literary qualities, online literature is also a form of literature.

It also incorporates factors such as reach, influence, and subject matter innovation.

At the same time, it differs from traditional literature in its writing style, structure, and language, and has greater innovation.

Although online comments currently do not have a significant impact on online articles.

Whether or not there are expert reviews, everyone's work is the same.

But this is only the beginning.

Some years later.

If online literature becomes mainstream like traditional literature.

Then.

This comment system is very important.

Also.

Last week, Chen Yang and Shengda participated in several roadshow events together.

The so-called roadshow.

Shengda is preparing to list Shengda Literature on the stock exchange.

Yes.

Shengda Investment started by acquiring a large number of websites, publishing houses, and so on.

He did all this for the day the company went public.

Just a pity.

Although online literature is still performing quite well at present.

But ultimately, his plate isn't particularly big.

This is not the first time Shengda Literature has held a roadshow.

In the past few times.

Shengda Literature's roadshow failed.

Or.

The valuation of Shengda Literature by various investors did not meet Tianqiao's expectations.

Chen Tianqiao believes that Shengda Literature's IPO should reach a valuation of $50 billion.

However, currently, investors are only willing to offer $30 billion, or even less.

no way.

The valuation of online literature has always been like this.

Not to mention now.

Even in 2025, the combined market capitalization of a number of online literature platforms will only be around $50 billion.

Although he fell from a peak of hundreds of billions.

Therefore, Shengda had no choice but to bring Chen Yang out.

But a pity.

Although Chen Yang's appearance added a lot of highlights to this roadshow.

The valuation of Shengda Literature by various investors has also increased by several hundred million US dollars.

However, it still did not reach the $50 billion target set by Brother Tianqiao.

finally.

This roadshow was another failure.

This also means that Shengda Literature's IPO has been interrupted once again.

If we include the previous two times...

This is the third failed IPO.

By convention.

Three roadshows failed.

That basically means it will be very difficult for Shengda Literature to go public again.

Chen Yang, on the other hand, also scoffed at this.

The path to capital investment in online literature still has a long way to go.

of course.

Actually, the factors at play here are not necessarily related to online literature.

The reason why Shengda Literature failed in its three roadshows was partly due to problems within Shengda itself.

Although Shengda made a fortune during the early days of the internet.

However, in recent years, Shengda has declined significantly.

Not to mention other losses, such as those incurred by Shengda Box, which amounted to over 100 billion yuan.

In the gaming sector alone, Shengda's revenue and profits have been declining again and again.

Another, more important one.

Those are some internet companies that didn't seem very big before, but now they have become monsters.

For example, Tencent, Baidu, Alibaba...

Previously, these penguins were just little brothers compared to Shengda.

but now.

The younger brother became the older brother.

At the same time, Shengda can no longer provide much support to literature in terms of resources.

If at this point, Shengda Literature were replaced by Penguin Literature or Baidu Literature.

Then his market value will exceed $50 billion in no time.

But.

Chen Yang couldn't control these things.

These are all capitalists' business; Chen Yang only needs to focus on writing his novel.

……

2010 October.

In the new semester, Chen Yang is now a senior.

There aren't actually many classes in the senior year.

Many students went to do internships one after another.

Li Hanxiao also went.

She went to teach in western China.

cough cough.

This journey to the west eventually led to Ganzhou, where Chen Yang was located.

No need to doubt.

Jiangxi Province was one of the provinces included in the Western Development Plan.

Take Ganzhou City, where Chen Yang lives, for example; several of its counties are classified as impoverished.

Chen Yang remembered that in his previous life, one of his classmates had also applied for the Western Development Program or something.

As a result, he was later directly assigned to the county next door.

Later I checked.

have to.

My fellow villagers are also quite poor.

However, judging from the videos Li Hanxiao recently filmed, she seems to be doing quite well in Chen Yang's hometown.

They were filming videos while attending class.

Chen Yang called Li Hanxiao.

Li Hanxiao also asked Chen Yang, this local tycoon, to donate some money to buy extracurricular books for the students.

Chen Yang agreed.

Chen Yang also knew this.

While teaching in rural areas, Li Hanxiao also worked to improve the local learning environment, for example, through the videos she made.

In addition to gaining a lot of traffic, she also gathered the strength of people all over the country in her videos.

Many netizens who saw Li Hanxiao's video donated goods or money, making a significant contribution to the local area.

"Great Master Hanxiao, I admire you, I admire you! My hometown is counting on you."

Chen Yang made a phone call to Li Hanxiao.

Upon receiving Chen Yang's call, Li Hanxiao was quite excited and said, "Hehe, I'm also using my identity as a video blogger to teach in rural areas and support mountainous regions at the same time. By the way, are you in Xinfeng, Ganzhou?"

"Yes."

"Okay, I'll go there sometime and see what your hometown is like."

"Do you want me to send you my home address? My mom's cooking is amazing."

"Ah... this... I'd rather not, I'd be too embarrassed to go to your house. But send me the address, I'll sneak a peek and see if you live in a mansion."

"Alright, I have to show you our mansion."

Don't say it yet.

On weekends.

Li Hanxiao actually went.

She went to Xinfeng with several colleagues.

The purpose of the trip was to visit the eighteen counties of Ganzhou.

But he actually went to Chen Yang's hometown.

However, Li Hanxiao didn't dare to go inside; she just looked around from the outside.

"Hanxiao, what brings you here? Do you have any classmates staying here?"

"Yes, I've come to take a look. It's very nice, with a real sense of life."

Although Chen Yang also bought a commercial apartment for his parents in Xinfeng.

But my parents still live in a self-built house.

It refers to houses built around the county town... similar to those in the countryside, with individual courtyards.

It's just that the location is a bit better, in the county town, and the transportation is relatively convenient.

However, it is said to be in the county town.

However, because it was a self-built house, this area was originally a rural area.

The whole place looks a bit like an urban village, but it has a very lively and down-to-earth atmosphere.

"Oh, is it a male or female student?"

"I won't tell you."

"Haha, he's obviously a male classmate. Wow, Hanxiao, would you like to come in and sit down so you can meet your future in-laws in advance?"

"Your in-laws are the ones who should be addressed as such."

Just saying.

Chen Meihua, however, came out of the house.

Seeing the group of young girls outside, Chen Meihua smiled and said, "Young ladies, you must be from out of town."

"Yes, Auntie, we came to Ganzhou to teach in a rural area. Today, we came out with some colleagues to take a walk and see the different counties in Ganzhou."

“Teaching in a rural area? Great! Xinfeng is a bit poor, and we don’t have much to offer. By the way, we grow navel oranges. Although they’re not fully ripe yet, I ate a few a few a few days ago, and they were quite sweet. Come, come, come sit at my house, and I’ll give you some navel oranges to try.”

Chen Meihua was very hospitable and invited Li Hanxiao and several colleagues into the house.

Several colleagues followed Chen Meihua into the house with smiles on their faces.

"I'm sorry, my family isn't well-off. This house is over 20 years old, so it's a bit old. The only thing that's nice is that the yard is a bit big."

Chen Meihua tidied up and then took out a few navel oranges: "Don't be fooled by the fact that the navel oranges aren't yellow yet, they're still edible."

talking.

Chen Meihua then used a knife to cut the navel oranges open and distributed them to everyone.

"Wow, so sweet."

"Yes, it's so sweet even though it's not fully ripe."

Several female colleagues were somewhat surprised.

They thought the navel oranges were sour at this time.

Seeing the group of girls praising it from time to time, Chen Meihua smiled and said, "Yes, navel oranges are the most famous in Xinfeng."

"Isn't this the hometown of navel oranges in China?"

Li Hanxiao added a sentence.

"Yes, yes, young lady, you know Xinfeng very well."

Chen Meihua said, "By the way, young lady, did you just graduate from university?"

"Not yet, I'll graduate in a year."

"Oh... speaking of which, my rascal will graduate in a year. I wonder if he's learned anything at school these past few years. If he hasn't learned anything by the time he graduates, I'll have him come back and help his mother grow navel oranges."

"Pfft... Auntie, you're letting that talented guy come back to grow navel oranges? Are you really willing to do that?"

Li Hanxiao couldn't help but laugh as she spoke.

"Ah... young lady, do you know my rascal?"

"Uh...uh...I've heard of it, I've heard of it...I think it was reported in the media back then?"

"Oh, it must be a stroke of good luck for the Chen family. This brat could only score around 500 points in his second year of high school, but he made such great progress in his third year, scoring over 600 points all of a sudden."

Li Hanxiao and the others stayed at Chen Yang's house for more than an hour before leaving.

When going back.

Li Hanxiao's face remained red.

Li Hanxiao's colleagues jokingly asked, "So, how did it feel to meet your in-laws today?"

……

Where is Chen Yang?

Naturally, they didn't know that Li Hanxiao had actually gone.

Recently, Qidian (a Chinese online literature platform) asked all its writers to register a Weibo account.

Chen Yang knew.

The initial goal was to build the author's reputation in a more comprehensive way.

After all, Qidian is the leader in the online literature industry.

But let's be honest.

Qidian is just a book-reading website, and its influence is not necessarily that strong.

Many readers may read online novels, but many do not know which author wrote these works.

People like Chen Yang, who are relatively famous, are alright.

Some of them aren't particularly famous, so people simply can't remember them.

Even Chen Yang might not be known to everyone.

In the realm of wireless reading, many readers simply don't care who the author is; they just bury themselves in reading the novel.

Chen Yang also registered an account.

Because Weibo is verified.

Qidian quickly verified Chen Yang's Weibo account, displaying a yellow "V" icon.

[Author whose pen names are unremarkable, Dragon and Snake, Sword Comes, Battle Through the Heavens, The Great Thousand Worlds...]

Ok.

The introduction is pretty impressive.

Well... cough cough, I only have 1 followers.

Chen Yang was somewhat depressed.

I'm a platinum author on Qidian, and I only have 1 followers. That's pathetic.

"Hey guys, has anyone been following my Weibo? Let's get my followers to 100 million!"

Chen Yang shouted in the book club group.

If you don't have 100 million followers, what are you doing on Weibo? It's embarrassing to even talk about it.

Chen Yang doesn't aspire to reach tens of millions like those big internet celebrities of later generations, but he still wants to break a million.

"Not boasting about his godhood, 1 followers is not bad."

"Yes, many of us don't use Weibo. I just registered myself."

"Keep it up, Bu Yang Shen! I believe you'll soon have over 10 followers."

People were teasing Chen Yang in the group chat.

Chen Yang stroked his chin: "Then I'll start a novel on Weibo and see if anyone comes."

"Wow, Bu Yangshen... is he planning to start a novel again?"

"Hmm, writing about swords is a bit tiring, so I'm taking a break."

"Wow, I love your kind of spice things up, God Bu Yang."

Upon hearing that Chen Yang was going to release a new book, all the book lovers were incredibly excited.

True.

Sword Comes is indeed very good.

But we can't just keep watching the swordplay all the time.

Say.

Chen Yang's new books are always top-notch in terms of creativity, and some are even pioneering works in their respective categories.

These novels certainly can't compare to "Sword Comes" or "Battle Through the Heavens"...

But for casual and relaxing reading, it's incredibly enjoyable.

Like "Rising to Prominence".

I have a system for showing off and then slapping people in the face.

That was simply indescribable!

"What new book are you planning to publish, 'Bu Yang Shen'?"

"let me see."

There were quite a few classic books that weren't finished in my past life.

This is a suitable time to start a book.

However, Chen Yang will not write about some of the more classic works that are too long.

The main reason is that Chen Yang's new book is just a change of pace.

Same as before.

He did it simply so that he could enjoy writing it.

If we were to create another classic, we'd be exhausted.

"Let's start a reincarnation novel."

After thinking it over, Chen Yang decided on the genre of his new book.
