Chapter 170: Immortal Cultivation Raiders and Billion Dollar Essay

"Xiao Li Feidao is a good example. With a flash of light, Xiao Li Feidao has been released, and the knife has been inserted into his throat. His eyes are wide open, and he will not believe it until he dies. No one can clearly see how Xiao Li Feidao is. shot..."

In the reading room of Meteor Book Bar, Liu Xing was reading "Sentimental Swordsman Ruthless Sword".

As the words flowed, pictures of little Li Feidao emerged in my mind.

"Sentimental Swordsman Ruthless Sword" is a novel with a stream-of-consciousness style. When reading, Liu Xing also needs to transform the text into various emotions, and use emotions to substitute into the novel.

Liu Xing himself is not a sentimental person. For him, this kind of emotional transformation is more brain-intensive than the visual transformation.
After four hours, he was a little tired, and the reading came to an end.

[Book Title] "Sentimental Swordsman Ruthless Sword"

[Genre] Martial Arts Novels (Stream of Consciousness)
【Grade】Five-star
[Matching degree] 58.4%
Liu Xing breathed a sigh of relief, and the matching degree finally changed, which was 3.4% higher than last time.

According to past experience, it takes about four months to get absorbed in "Sentimental Swordsman Ruthless Sword".

The original matching degree of this novel is as high as 55%, which is already very high. However, even with such a high matching degree, Liu Xing can only focus on four books a year at most.

The more novels he absorbed, the closer Liu Xing was to becoming a fairy.

Therefore, Liu Xing naturally hopes that the time spent in each novel can be shortened, so that he can absorb more novels.

"Is there any way to shorten the time required for each novel to be absorbed?"

Liu Xing frowned, thinking secretly.

He recalled the novels he had been fascinated by. It took more than half a year to be fascinated by "The Eight Parts of the Dragon", "Legend of Chu Liuxiang" was fascinated for nearly half a year, and "Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "Yi Tian Tu Long Ji" took a relatively short time to be fascinated. It took more than a month, mainly because the two novels used the "method of different situations" to fascinate...

Thinking of this, Liu Xing's eyes suddenly lit up!
"The same series of novels, the speed of fascination is the fastest!"

As long as the story background of the novel is the same, you can use the same situation method to get absorbed.In this way, the efficiency of trance will be greatly improved.

"If you can create a large number of novels with the same story background, the speed of fascination will be faster, and the speed of cultivating immortals will also be faster!"

When this thought flashed through his mind, Liu Xing's blood boiled all over his body.

Because this may be a shortcut to cultivating immortals!

The only problem now is: How to find a large number of novels with the same background?

In the book coffin, there are actually novels that meet the standard of "same land and different feelings", such as the previous "Dragon and Ba Bu", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "Yi Tian Tu Long Ji".

For another example, works such as "Sentimental Swordsman Ruthless Sword", "End of the World. Bright Moon. Knife", "Flying Knife, See Flying Knife" and other works written by Gu Long belong to the series of Xiao Li's Flying Knife, which are also in line with the "same situation in different places". love" standard.

The speed of these novels can be accelerated, but the number of these novels is too small, not enough.

To get into the fairy tale novels, Liu Xing needs to be absorbed in a lot of novels.
"How to find a large number of novels with the same story background?"

When this question was raised, an idea immediately flashed in Liu Xing's mind - solicit essays!
As long as the essay solicitation is held, a large number of writers can create different stories around the same background.

By then, all the novels created will meet the standard of "same land and different feelings".

"This method seems to work!"

Liu Xing pondered for a while, and felt that the idea of ​​soliciting essays was worth a try, which might be a shortcut to immortality.

Since it is a solicitation of essays, there needs to be a bonus for soliciting essays.The larger the number of bonuses, the more writers will be attracted to participate, and the more high-level works will be.

Liu Xing's current net worth is only tens of millions, which is not enough to hold a large-scale essay solicitation activity by himself.

He is now a committee member of Fiction Street, and decided to organize this essay solicitation activity in the name of Fiction Street, in conjunction with more than 100 bookstores in Fiction Street.

……

The next day, Liu Xing contacted the other eight committee members of Fiction Street (committee Huang Baijing had disappeared from Fiction Street) to discuss the plan of holding an essay solicitation activity.

For Liu Xing's essay solicitation plan, the other eight committee members were a little surprised, because for so many years, Novel Street had never held a large-scale essay solicitation activity.

Writing an essay may seem simple, but it is not.

Because it is very difficult to select excellent works from a large number of entries, which is the same as finding star novels from waste books.

Therefore, essay solicitation activities have always been considered a thankless act, and non-governmental organizations are generally reluctant to hold them.

Most of Huaxia's essay solicitation activities are officially organized by the Reading Alliance.

It is precisely because of this that when Liu Xing proposed that Fiction Street should hold an essay solicitation activity, all eight committee members questioned the feasibility of this activity.

However, Liu Xing is full of confidence in this essay competition because he has a good eye for books.

The good works in the competition cannot escape his eyes. As long as excellent works can be found in the competition, these works can bring high profits to the booksellers in Fiction Street.

As for Liu Xing, he will have a large number of novels with the same background, thus speeding up his cultivation.

"Commissioner Liu, your idea is quite good, but the risk is too high." Li Ming, the owner of Liming Bookstore, said, "The essay submission requires a lot of capital investment. If you can't find a good book from the entries, then the funds will be collected." Not coming back."

Huang Heping, the owner of Heping Bookstore, has a different opinion: "I think Xiao Liu's proposal is worth a try. If the theme of the essay is well chosen, it can also be used to raise the popularity of Novel Street, which is good for everyone."
Everyone expressed their views one after another.

The nine committee members were divided into three camps. The three committee members headed by Liu Xing supported holding the paper solicitation activity, the three committee members headed by Li Ming objected, and the three committee members headed by Sun Jiang did not express their views.

"How about this?" General Manager Sun Jiang suggested, "Let's go back tonight to think about it and vote tomorrow. What do you think?"

All members agreed.

……

In the evening, the underground secret room of Bohai Book City.

"Boss, I want to hear your opinion on something." General Manager Sun Jiang reported, "Today, Liu Xing, the owner of Meteor Book Bar, proposed to hold a large-scale essay solicitation activity in Fiction Street. Do you think we should support?"

"A large-scale essay competition?" Liu Xing said, "Liu Xing has a good idea, why don't you support it?"

General Manager Sun Jiang reminded: "Boss, the essay solicitation activity is very risky, and the possibility of failure is very high."

Liu Xingyu said earnestly: "I said, Xiao Sun, why are you living longer and returning? Liu Xing is just a 19-year-old boy, and he has the courage and courage to innovate and constantly challenge new fields. How about you? Look at yourself, timidly, looking forward and backward, what can you do in the future?"

"The boss taught you a lesson." General Manager Sun Jiang said, "So, you support the essay competition?"

"Of course I support it." Liu Xing said again, "Xiao Sun, next year you will be elected as the president of Fiction Street. If you don't perform well, Liu Xing might take away the position of president. I was very optimistic about you. Yes, you have to take good care of it!"

"Don't worry, boss, I will work hard!"

……

The next day, the nine committee members of Fiction Street formally voted.

The result of the vote was completely within Liu Xing's expectation, with 6 votes in favor and 3 votes against.

As a result, the proposal for the solicitation of essays was successfully passed.

In the evening, Liu Xing and other nine committee members immediately held the Booksellers Meeting in Fiction Street. More than 100 booksellers gathered in Xiaoyao Building to discuss matters related to the essay solicitation activity.

One of the most important things is to raise prize money for the essay competition.

After deliberation, all the booksellers in Fiction Street will share the prize money for the essay solicitation, and each bookseller will pay a certain amount on a voluntary basis.

The essay solicitation activity was organized by the Fiction Street Management Committee, and more than 100 booksellers responded positively and donated generously.

The amount paid by each bookseller ranges from 10 yuan to 500 million yuan, including 500 million yuan for Meteor Book Bar, 500 million yuan for Bohai Bookstore, 500 million yuan for Liming Bookstore, and 500 million yuan for Wang Hao, the son of the richest man in Tianhai City.

More than 100 booksellers have accumulated, and the total amount raised is 1.2 million yuan!

All the money will be used as prize money for this essay contest.

When the amount of this bonus was exposed by the media, it aroused widespread concern from all walks of life in China.

This is one of the folk essay competitions with the highest prize money in China's history.

After the 1.2 million yuan prize money was raised, the Fiction Street Management Committee began to solicit essay topics on the Internet.

Netizens were very enthusiastic about the essay solicitation activity, and they participated in the selection of the essay solicitation theme one after another.In just half a month, more than 2000 themes were shortlisted.

Afterwards, more than 50 netizens conducted secret ballots on these essay topics. In the end, the three topics that received the most votes were: [Shadow Man], [Book Coffin] and [Book Grave Notes].

Among them, [Book Tomb Notes] received 12.4 votes, [Book Coffin] received 16.7 votes, and [Shadow Man] received 24.8 votes, ranking No.1 with an absolute advantage.

In the past half a year, the shadow man has been the hottest topic in China. Everyone is full of curiosity about this mysterious middle-aged uncle who appears and disappears.

It's a pity that most people have no chance to see the Sombra, and many netizens hope to buy novels about the Sombra to satisfy their fantasies about the Sombra.

Therefore, in the solicitation of essay topics, the topic of "Shadow Man" became the biggest dark horse and stood out.

After the voting results came out, the theme of the paper solicitation activity was determined.The requirements for this essay competition are very simple, the entries must be related to the shadow man.

At the same time, this year's essay competition was named the "Shadow Man Cup" essay contest.

The entire competition will last for 18 months, and the final winner will receive a high bonus of 1.2 million yuan.

When news of the essay solicitation activity spread, writers from all over the country flocked to Fiction Street soon.These writers are here to compete.

The Shadowman had appeared on Fiction Street before, and many writers believed that the Fiction Street was the best place to create novels with the theme of [Shadowman].

Seeing so many writers haunting Fiction Street, Liu Xing was quite relieved.

The more writers there are, the more good works there are, the faster Liu Xing will become a fairy...

……

When the essay competition was in full swing, Liu Xing continued to read "Sentimental Swordsman Ruthless Sword".

The essay contest will last for more than a year, and before the end of the essay contest, the novels in the coffin are still his best reading choices... ——
