Honkai Impact 3rd: Join Anti-Entropy at the start and dominate the entertainment industry.

And that mall prize of 100000, is that for real?

He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.

In any case, the rewards have increased, and who could resist a gold prize selection box? Besides, that all-around voice looks pretty impressive.

Bai Qianqu curiously clicked on "All-Around Voice" and immediately gasped.

[All-around voice: Able to imitate anyone's singing voice and utilize 80% of their abilities.]

With this, wouldn't I be able to sing everyone's songs? Even if I only use 80% of my ability, it would still be terrifying, since the remaining 20% ​​can be made up for by skill and emotion. And if that's not enough, I still have the [Singing, Dancing, and Rap Potion], right?

P.S.: Family! It's the last day! Let's make one last push! (???) Just one free post, generated out of pure love!

Chapter 172 A Phenomenal Bestseller

With the combination of a versatile voice and a singing, dancing, and rapping potion, you can perfectly sing any song.

Of course, the prerequisite is to repair your voice.

"Ten million, ten million." Bai Qianqu was still a little conflicted, but if she could really obtain the [All-Around Voice], she would definitely have to spend ten million.

"In any case, let's finish the mission first. The penalty for failure is really unbearable."

After making her plans, Bai Qianqu contacted Raven directly.

At this time, "The King's Avatar" had entered a period of rapid development, with the number of people reading the online novel and buying the paper book increasing rapidly, and World Snake Bookstore made a lot of money from it.

Furthermore, because many people actively downloaded the World Snake app to watch "The King's Avatar," the app gained many new users, which naturally boosted the readership of many other works as well.

Raven's status among the world snakes has risen rapidly during this period. He is now very arrogant and walks with a swagger.

In recent meetings, she, who used to only dare to sit at the back, has taken the initiative to sit at the front. She talks loudly and confidently at every meeting, and her triumphant appearance makes Jackal very unhappy.

But what can you do if you're unhappy? This world is all about strength and results. Because of the success of "The King's Avatar", Raven is now the most dazzling snake in the world.

At this point, Raven wished he could treat Qianjian like a little ancestor. As long as Qianjian could consistently produce 30 words every month and successfully complete the story, it would only be a matter of time before "The King's Avatar" became a legendary work.

Once "The King's Avatar" becomes a legendary work, I, as the editor in charge of the book, will definitely receive a large bonus, the pressure of the mortgage will be greatly reduced, and I will have the capital to speak in the world of snakes.

Moreover, a number of game-related novels have recently emerged. Although there is a suspicion of following the trend, it has indeed turned the originally niche game genre into a minor hot topic.

However, Raven has been a little worried lately because Thousand Swords has never made any requests or offered any opinions.

In the past, authors of successful novels would immediately request various promotional resources, such as featured recommendations, rolling recommendations, and best book recommendations. These prominent recommendation lists would bring many readers to the novel.

Those with outstanding performance may even demand a larger share of the contract to gain more profits.

On the other hand, Qian Jian seemed unusually quiet. It seemed that apart from posting articles, he spent the rest of his time doing other things and seemed to completely ignore the novel.

Raven muttered to itself, "Does Thousand Swords have other side jobs?"

She put aside these random thoughts and opened Qianjian's chat window—

The new month is approaching, and she wants to inquire about the progress of Qianjian's novel.

Although she currently has a 300,000-word manuscript in hand, she has not completely relaxed, after all, "The King's Avatar" is now her lifeline.

Just as she sent a greeting message, Qianjian replied, but upon seeing this reply, Raven's heart almost exploded.

[Qian Jian: I will no longer write "The King's Avatar".]

The raven was completely bewildered.

[Raven: Not writing? What do you mean? Do you want to cut the book?]

[Qianjian: No, it's just that I want it to end.]

The ravens were frantic!

Judging from Qianjian's tone, this guy wants to cut up the book and even wants to write a terrible ending!

How is this possible? !

Cutting off a book is actually quite common. Some authors will cut off a book to cut their losses when it is not doing well, because if a novel does not do well at the beginning, it is difficult to recover later, and continuing to write it is a waste of time.

But that was only when their grades weren't good!

But what's the current situation with "The King's Avatar"?

That's a phenomenal hit novel in the gaming genre right now!

It has almost become the representative of game-themed novels. The storyline is very solid, the plot development is excellent, and the characters are vividly described. Although there are some minor flaws, they do not detract from its overall excellence. Under the test of the market, this book has passed the test perfectly.

Looking outside, every time a new chapter is released, it attracts a large number of reader interactions and comments.

To put it more bluntly, even if the quality of the later parts of the novel declines, as long as it doesn't disappoint readers, there will still be a large number of readers willing to pay for it.

Even if there are some flaws, after readers have finished criticizing it, won't they still obediently come back to continue reading despite their reluctance?

That's the power of a bestselling book! Even if you haven't read the novel, you've almost certainly heard of it!

A large readership gives Qianjian such confidence!

But why is he coming to me now and saying he doesn't want to write anymore?

Could it be that he encountered some kind of misfortune? Or perhaps he suffered a breakup?

The raven quickly spoke up in an attempt to salvage the situation.

[Raven: Teacher Qianjian, why aren't you planning to continue writing? Have you encountered some difficulties? If you have any problems, just tell me, and I'll do my best to help you! Please don't stop updating! If you stop updating, I'm doomed, 55555, if you stop updating, I'll cry and roll around on my knees in front of you!]

Raven even tried to appeal to emotions.

[Qian Jian: Don't be like that, I don't have any difficulties. It's just that the novel is finished, and I don't need to write anymore.]

Raven: Huh? (Cat nodding image)

Her mind didn't process it for a moment.

[Raven: You mean, you've finished writing the whole novel? The finale?]

[Qian Jian: Yeah, I still have over four million words of drafts saved up. I'll send them all to you later.]

Raven:

Several million?

Raven almost choked on his breath when he heard that!

If someone has 100,000 words in their drafts, that's already considered amazing. You have 4 million words in your drafts?

Besides, how long has it been since the book was first published? Two months, I guess?

Even if you didn't eat or drink and wrote for 24 hours straight, it wouldn't be this fast, right?

Is this what they call writing the final chapter as soon as the book starts?

Raven was of course unaware that Bai Qianqu possessed the [Tentacle Monster] state; if she were to unleash her full power, she could easily produce 20 words a day.

After thinking for a long time, Raven finally came to a conclusion: Bai Qianqu had already written this book long before he sent it to him!

He submitted his completed novel directly!

Thinking about it that way, it does make sense.

Raven was both amused and exasperated. Who submits a novel as soon as it's finished? Aren't they afraid of it not being accepted? How confident can they be in their work?

Subsequently, Qianjian's image became even more mysterious in her mind. A single-player novel with five million words is something that not just anyone can do.

After figuring it out, Raven touched his heart and let out a long sigh of relief.

She almost thought she was going to die.

[Qianjian: Let me take another look, I'll send it all over in a few days.]

Raven was still completely bewildered. Reason told her that this was not true, but Qianjian didn't seem to be the type to joke.

Chapter 173 Saving the Discarded Department from Crisis!

That's four million words!

If it were any other novel, it would probably be three or four volumes long!

She shook her head, deciding not to dwell on the matter for now. The truth would naturally emerge in a few days anyway. She continued, "Teacher Qianjian, what are your plans after finishing this book? Are you planning to take a break or continue writing the next one?"

Bai Qianqu thought for a moment and decided to ask about the short story first: "I'm still observing. I'd like to ask about short stories first. Does your World Serpent accept short stories?"

The raven blinked blankly: "We do accept submissions, but are you submitting a short story?"

"Yes."

"That's quite a coincidence. There's an event going on right now, jointly organized by several publishing houses, called the 'Short Story Awards.' The top three winners will receive substantial cash prizes and extensive promotional support from various platforms. This event starts every December, so if you want to submit short stories, it's a good idea to participate now."

After hearing Raven's words, Bai Qianqu quickly searched for the event and soon found the event page.

Just as Raven predicted, the prize money for the top three winners of this event is quite substantial, with the first-place winner receiving a whopping 200,000!

Back when Raven organized that event, they only gave out 100,000.

Bai Qianqu looked at the submission requirements again: "No restrictions on subject matter, but the word count must be under 20,000 words. The requirements are quite broad. Okay, I'll submit it here."

Raven continued, "This competition is a long-standing tradition, held every year. This year marks its tenth anniversary, so the prizes are the most generous ever. However, correspondingly, the number of participants is also the highest, making the competition extremely fierce. Many renowned short story writers have also entered the competition. May I ask if you can write short stories? Ah, not to question your abilities, but just to remind you that this prize money is not easy to obtain."

"Moreover, your readership is mainly composed of fans of long novels. If you write short stories, you will face the predicament of having a weak fan base, which will put you at a disadvantage in the competition."

Hearing Raven's words, Bai Qianqu nodded to herself.

The importance of a fan base goes without saying, especially in this kind of competition, where the difficulty faced by those with fans and those without is completely different.

But he had no choice; if he didn't participate in this event, his short stories would probably get even fewer readers.

Bai Qianqu's lips twitched as she recalled the system's "high-difficulty" mission.

Why do you act so foolishly for no reason?

Saying something like "very simple" without thinking will surely backfire!

But it's too late to regret it now; after all, there's no going back.

Raven was still trying to persuade Bai Qianqu: "Teacher Qianjian, most of your fans are now following you because of 'The King's Avatar'. If you write another novel with a gaming theme, you will definitely gain the support of the vast majority of your fans."

Bai Qianqu did not express her opinion on this.

He can't possibly write all his novels on the same theme in the future. He can't just stick to one theme because it has a lot of fans, can he?

Bai Qianqu continued, "I saw that your World Snake app has a comics section. Do you also collect comics?"

Hearing this question, the raven was even more confused.
