Reborn, I achieved legendary status with a single book.

"Sigh, Bu Yangshen is playing games again."

"Now that he's achieved his goal, what else is he going to do but play games?"

"No, I don't mind him playing games, I just really want to read his new book."

"Yes, apart from the books on not exalting God, I'm not interested in any other books."

As a benchmark for online literature.

Chen Yang has always been the direction of the development of online literature.

Countless people are also keeping a close eye on Chen Yang's latest work.

However, in recent years...

Chen Yang's update speed has slowed down considerably.

Especially after the end of "A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality", Chen Yang did not write a new book for more than a year.

"Don't rush me. If Bu Yangshen has an idea, he will definitely write it. Besides, we all have to consider the situation. Online novels have been around for over a decade now, and everything that could be written has already been written. If we write anything else, it will probably be difficult to reach the same peak as before."

"It seems so."

Many people nodded.

Where is Chen Yang?

He continued his game streaming.

of course.

His gaming livestreams don't mean he has nothing to write about.

Chen Yang still has many works to write in his mind.

That's why I'm not writing about it for now.

Firstly, the updates were too frequent in previous years, leaving little time for rest.

Even if he were to write something later, Chen Yang would try to slow down the pace.

But that's not the most important thing.

The most important thing is.

Chen Yang plans to accumulate more fans through live streaming platforms.

Yes.

The internet has developed to its current state.

A series of platforms and a series of big names have emerged one after another.

Of the original BAT companies, B has long since fallen behind.

Previously popular online platforms, such as blogs and microblogs, are not particularly popular for the time being.

The hottest trend right now is short video platforms.

How popular are short video platforms?
Even Alibaba and Tencent are very wary of it.

Chen Yang isn't involved in the internet industry, so he doesn't have any particular interest in these short video platforms.

But he wanted to build up his popularity on such a platform.

That's right.

Writing a novel is not just about writing.

He also needs to expand his influence.

While online literature reading platforms also have decent traffic, their overall traffic is far less than that of these short video platforms.

But things are not the same as they were back then.

Even if it's just to write a work similar to what I wrote back then.

But reaching the same level as back then is basically impossible.

It's not that my skill level has declined.

Instead, many users are distracted by a range of internet products.

Just like how people spend more time watching short videos than reading novels.

even.

I spend significantly more time watching short videos than reading novels.

Chen Yang is someone who embraces the internet.

Naturally, they also pay close attention to short videos.

Moreover, online articles and short videos are closely related.

For example, short dramas.

Even if we disregard this aspect, using short videos as a means of attracting traffic is still acceptable.

This is not just Chen Yang's wild idea.

Many of the novels that became wildly popular in later generations did so by attracting viewers through short videos.

However, the methods of attracting traffic through short videos in later generations are quite mysterious.

It remains to be determined what users like and dislike regarding short videos.

Chen Yang does not need to drive traffic to his products for the time being.

All he needs to do is increase the popularity of his account.

This is not.

Chen Yang gained 200 million followers on short videos after only one month of live-streaming his gaming sessions.

"Thanks for your support, brothers. We've reached 200 million followers. Let's play a game to celebrate."

Chen Yang said this in the live video.

A group of fans were moved to tears, saying, "Bu Yang Shen, you've reached 200 million followers! Aren't you going to start a new book?"

"It's a promise, I'll start a new book when I reach 1000 million followers."

"1000 million? Forget it, that would take forever."

"Tch, don't believe me? For a top-tier author like me on Qidian, gaining followers on short video platforms is a piece of cake. In just one month, I've already gained 200 million followers."

"Two million followers and ten million followers are two different things... Two million followers are easy, but ten million followers are basically impossible."

"Looks like I'll have to use my ultimate move."

"What special move?"

"I want to do live-streaming e-commerce."

"Pfft."

Everyone stared in disbelief: "Bu Yang Shen, what kind of goods are you carrying? Are you short of money?"

"No shortage."

"They don't lack anything, yet they still sell products."

"I'm doing this to gain more followers."

"Holy crap, they gain followers by selling products?"

Everyone blinked, utterly puzzled.

What kind of logic is this?

They've seen people gain followers by live streaming, posting short videos, showcasing their talents, and leveraging celebrities.

I've never actually seen someone gain followers through live-streaming e-commerce.

Of course, this doesn't mean that selling products can't increase followers.

But in general.

To sell products through live streaming, the first step is to build a certain number of followers through various means.

For example, by creating short videos, providing content, and then spending money...

Judging from Chen Yang's words, it seems that he wants to increase his fan base to 1000 million through live-streaming e-commerce.

"Bu Yang Shen, you're not joking with us, are you?"

"No joke."

"Really?"

"Okay, I'll start tomorrow."

……

[Breaking news! Breaking news! The god of escapism is launching a new business: live-streaming e-commerce!]

[The top online writer enters the live-streaming e-commerce industry: Support or Oppose?]

This news spread throughout the industry immediately.

Some fellow authors were dumbfounded.

Some people also criticized Chen Yang for neglecting his duties.

Others say, "What level are they at? What's wrong with pursuing your hobbies?"
However, most people are not particularly optimistic about Chen Yang's live-streaming sales.

"I think Bu Yangshen just wants to have some fun."

"Yeah, just experiencing life. Maybe after doing live-streaming e-commerce, I'll write an awesome novel."

"Hehe, actually, Bu Yangshen's live stream is quite funny. Regardless of how well the products sell, I'll go check it out tomorrow."

Chen Yang's influence in the industry goes without saying.

And for those outside the circle, there are quite a few as well.

Many media outlets outside the industry are also extremely excited about Chen Yang's entry into the live-streaming e-commerce world.

"Everyone, I heard that author Chen Yang is going to do a live-streaming e-commerce event?"

“I’ve heard about it too. I’m speechless. He really needs the money.”

"Not really, I guess they just want to try it out. I think it's quite interesting, after all, live-streaming e-commerce requires eloquence. Writers are generally very eloquent."

"Being eloquent and being able to sell products via live streaming are two different things. Have you seen any authors who are very good at selling products? If you ask me, the more talented you are, the less likely you are to be able to sell products."

"I've noticed that too. Look at those top livestreamers selling products; what's really impressive about them isn't their eloquence, but their tricks. And then there's the '123' call for the link."

"puff……"

……

Don't say it yet.

Chen Yang's live-streaming sales event the following day attracted quite a few people right from the start.

Chen Yang was only online for a short time.

But there were already more than 1000 people.

"Yo yo yo, Bu Yangshen, your live stream is actually quite decent."

Many fans commented on the decorations in Chen Yang's live stream room.

Chen Yang was a little embarrassed: "Hehe, this live broadcast room isn't mine, I borrowed someone else's."

As for whose it is borrowed.

It naturally belongs to Li Hanxiao.

Li Hanxiao got involved with short videos very early on.

Through her hard work over the years, she has become a top internet celebrity with tens of millions of followers.

Meanwhile, the company has signed many livestreamers, and its sales performance ranks among the top ten in the entire internet.

I heard Chen Yang is going to be a live-streaming e-commerce seller.

Li Hanxiao was overjoyed and lent Chen Yang a live-streaming room.

"Oh my, you're even borrowing someone else's live stream room? Are you planning to play one game and then leave?"

"Who said I'm going to get 10 million followers?"

Here we go again.

"That's...that's what we're doing today, selling products."

talking.

The assistant brought the first product: Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor).

"The first item I brought today turned out to be alcohol. To be honest, I'm not a big drinker. As for this Erguotou, I don't know if it tastes good or not. Anyway, the link is here. If you like it, buy it; if you don't, don't."

From the very beginning, Chen Yang's sales pitch left everyone speechless.

"Take the photos if you like them, don't take them if you don't."

What kind of live-streaming sales is this?

"You're so unprofessional, you need to introduce your product."

Following everyone's suggestion, Chen Yang nodded: "Yes, we really should introduce the product. As for wine, it is said that it was first created by a man named Du Kang, who is said to be the ruler of the Xia Dynasty. During the Xia Dynasty, productivity had reached a certain level. When there was surplus grain, they would store it. However, the storage methods at that time were not very good. They would just pile all the grain into hollow trees or caves."

"One day, Du Kang saw many animals appear where he stored his grain. Upon closer inspection, he found that the animals seemed to be dead, motionless. Then Du Kang smelled a fragrant aroma, and without thinking, he tasted a few mouthfuls and found it delicious and sweet. So he took this liquid back to share with others. Thus, wine was invented, and this is the legend of Du Kang making wine."

"However, when it comes to wine, the most famous one is none other than Li Bai. Du Fu once said that Li Bai could write a hundred poems after drinking a bucket of wine. Besides being a great poet, Li Bai was also an excellent drinker. It is said that when he was young, Li Bai was not successful and went to Chang'an to visit a group of high-ranking officials. However, at that time, Li Bai was not famous, and many officials did not see him. Later, while drinking at a tavern, he unexpectedly met an old man who also loved wine. Li Bai challenged the old man to a drinking contest, and only then did Li Bai realize that the old man he was drinking with was He Zhizhang. So Li Bai handed He Zhizhang the poem 'The Road to Shu is Hard' that he had written long ago."

"The road to Shu is difficult, more difficult than ascending to heaven..." He Zhizhang slammed his fist on the table and exclaimed that Li Bai was a banished immortal descended to earth after reading only the first line. From then on, Li Bai had the nickname "the banished immortal".

Chen Yang's knowledge of history is average.

But at this moment, when Chen Yang was selling products, he talked about Li Bai from history.

The viewers in the live stream listened with great interest.

"Later, with the recommendation of He Zhizhang and Princess Yuzhen, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang finally summoned Li Bai. However, Li Bai was arrogant, and although he was by the emperor's side, he was not given much importance in the three years that followed. At most, the emperor would summon Li Bai when he wanted to jokingly recite poems and songs. Li Bai felt that his talent was not being valued, while Emperor Xuanzong thought that Li Bai was nothing special. Then came the familiar story of being granted money and dismissed. Emperor Xuanzong gave Li Bai a sum of money, and Li Bai left the palace."

Chen Yang is an online novelist.

Her storytelling skills are superb.

Some friends who initially just came to watch Chen Yang's live-streaming sales were now placing orders without even realizing it. And that's not all.

The live stream room originally had only a little over 1000 viewers.

Don't know why.

Because Chen Yang didn't promote any products during his live-streaming sales event, but instead talked about other things, his popularity skyrocketed.

Many netizens who came across Chen Yang's live stream were also amazed by his live-streaming sales methods.

Is this live-streaming e-commerce?

"correct."

"But why isn't the host introducing the product? He's just telling stories."

"Hehe, I don't know either. But the story the host told was quite moving."

unconsciously.

The number of viewers in the live stream exceeded 1.

But Chen Yang's story is not over yet.

Chen Yang continued, "Li Bai, who was granted gold and released, prepared to travel the world. On his journey, he met Du Fu, a young admirer of his, and later another poet, Gao Shi. The three traveled together, visiting sacred mountains and practicing alchemy... They developed a deep friendship. But no one expected that their friendship would come to an abrupt end decades later."

Ok.

Chen Yang was referring to "Chang'an Thirty Thousand Miles" at this point.

……

[An unassuming writer tried his hand at selling goods and achieved great success.]

[The top online writer sparked a live-streaming e-commerce craze.]

[A platinum-level author on Qidian.com gained 1000 million followers overnight.]

The live-streaming e-commerce industry has collapsed; the phrase "123 up the link" has become a derogatory term.

knowledge is power.

This moment was perfectly embodied in Chen Yang.

To everyone's surprise.

Chen Yang's live-streaming sales method, which involves minimal product introduction, has broken industry records.

In the entire live-streaming e-commerce industry, Chen Yang has jumped into the top 10.

"Bu Yangshen is simply a reincarnation of a genius."

"I never thought that live-streaming sales could be done like this... I didn't introduce a single product in two hours, but I sold out all of them."

"Yeah, now when I see those streamers with links on 123, I feel like I'm looking at idiots."

"Wow, that's 2000 million fans! Does that mean a new book is coming soon?"

……

Yes.

The new book is indeed coming soon.

Whether it's live-streaming e-commerce or live-streaming gaming, Chen Yang does it all.

He will never forget that he is an author, and a web novel author at that.

The most important thing an author should do is write.

Although Chen Yang has already written many works.

but.

As long as Chen Yang is still able to write, he will continue to write.

Not to mention.

There's still a series of classic works he hasn't finished writing in his mind.

"Bu Yangshen has over 2000 million followers on short videos. Shouldn't he be writing a new book?"

Some die-hard fans were urging Chen Yang in the group.

Chen Yang nodded: "It's time to write a new book."

……

"The God of Unspeakable is about to start a new book."

"Sure?"

"It's confirmed, it was said by Bu Yang himself in his fan group."

The news of Chen Yang's new book spread throughout the industry in an instant.

"I wonder what kind of work it will be this time."

"Yes, I've seen so many of Bu Yangshen's works, and each one is a surprise. I wonder if I can still feel that same passion this time."

"Absolutely, the God of Nobunaga never lets us down."

of course.

Not everyone thinks that way.

It's not that people dislike Chen Yang.

It is really.

Online literature has been developing for nearly 20 years now.

I've already written all kinds of online novels that I was going to write.

In recent years, some online novels have either lacked originality or received lukewarm responses.

Even top-tier experts are struggling, unsure of which direction to take.

Like Tang San.

He is now basically expanding his writing around the Douluo IP.

Although Shenji is still creating, his later works have seen a rapid decline in popularity.

After "Mang Huang Ji", Tomato's works such as "Snow Eagle Lord" and others have not regained their former glory.

Chen Dong has been consistently active, and his online subscription figures have been steadily improving, but unfortunately, his IP adaptations have not made much progress.

It can be said.

Of the Five Greats of the Central Plains, only Chen Yang remains.

There are some conspiracy theorists.

The reason Chen Yang hasn't released a new book in so long is because he's worried that he might end up like the other four authors.

Even without taking action, he can still maintain his peak performance.

If I were to make a move...

It's estimated that it will be surpassed by the younger generation.

……

Time flew by.

Chen Yang's new book is coming soon.

"Sent."

"Bu Yang Shen has released a new book."

I don't know who posted that on Sky News.

Thousands of book lovers, fans, and industry authors... immediately entered Chen Yang's author center.

"It actually went up."

What is the title of the book?

"Heaven-shading."

"Covering the sky?"

What is it about?

"I haven't watched it yet, but just reading the synopsis makes me feel really excited."

What does the introduction say?

"Nine dragons pulling a coffin!!!"

……

Chen Dong, a top-tier platinum author, has also been paying close attention to Chen Yang's new book recently.

He has been writing prolifically in recent years, producing several works.

The performance of each work has been continuously improving.

Even his current work has already reached 20 views.

Such results.

It also surpassed the most popular of the previous five most popular players in the Central Plains.

Based solely on online subscription figures.

Chen Dong is second only to Chen Yang.

Chen Dong has always regarded Chen Yang as someone he is trying to catch up with.

Only sometimes.

You can't catch up just because you want to.

Chen Dong knew.

He lacked that mysterious and enigmatic quality that Chen Yang possessed.

Chen Dong calls this thing "God".

The spirit of vitality.

Only when a work contains a "god" can it truly radiate its charm.

Vaguely.

In recent years, Chen Dong felt that he had grasped something.

But that's not specific.

"Heaven-shading."

On SkyNet, someone leaked information about Chen Yang's new book.

Looking at the title of this book.

Chen Dong felt like he'd heard that name somewhere before.

Subsequently.

Chen Dong entered the pages of "Covering the Sky".

In the depths of the universe, where coldness and darkness coexist, nine enormous dragon corpses pull an ancient bronze coffin, existing since time immemorial.

This is an extremely stunning image captured by a space probe in the desolate universe.

With nine dragons pulling a coffin, did they return to ancient times, or arrive at the other side of the starry sky?

A vast world of immortals and heroes, bizarre and mysterious.

Blood boils like a volcano, passion surges like a vast ocean, and desire is an endless abyss...

Ascending the Heavenly Road, singing as we go, a flick of the finger can blot out the sky...

This is a brief introduction to Chen Yang's new book.

Just like what everyone on SkyNet said.

Nine dragons pulling the coffin.

This highly imaginative scene sent chills down Chen Dong's spine.

And the last sentence.

Ascending the Heavenly Road, singing as we go, a flick of the finger can blot out the sky...

Chen Dong suddenly rang out.

Correct.

That's the sentence.

Chen Dong remembers.

Chen Yang wrote this sentence when he wrote "The Vast World".

then.

He thought Chen Yang was just describing a fantasy world.

did not expect.

This one sentence actually made "Covering the Sky" a success.

[Ascending the Heavenly Road, singing as we go, a flick of the finger can blot out the sky.]

He was reciting these words to himself.

Chen Dong felt that mysterious feeling had returned.

……
