Transforming into twin actresses, offering a glimpse into the cutthroat world of entertainment.

Over time, I lost interest in reading novels.

It's like eating abalone. You might enjoy it occasionally, but if you eat it every day, at every meal, you won't have much of an appetite anymore, and you'll feel nauseous and want to vomit.

"Take a break..."

Rubbing her eyes, Gu Qingyao decided to go to the bathroom to use the toilet, wash her hands, clear her head, and wake up.

At the entrance to the restroom, several male editors were smoking. They were from the second group of Feilu Novel Network, responsible for the martial arts and fantasy genres. Like Gu Qingyao, they had come to the restroom to have a smoke and relax after reviewing novels for so long.

"Have you found any promising candidates today?" asked an editor who was already bald.

"Seedling" is an industry term referring to a novel of good quality.

An editor's monthly bonus is related to the subscription fees of the novels they have signed.

A wildly popular novel can not only make the author a fortune, but also allow the editor to profit.

"It's tough, I've been out of work all morning." An editor in a floral shirt shook his head; you could tell from his voice that he usually enjoyed fishing.

"I haven't done it yet, but there are a few that are pretty good. I've already approved their contracts. Now it's up to them to see how they perform."

Novels on Feilu Chinese Website can apply for a contract once they reach 50,000 words. However, signing a contract does not guarantee that you will make money; it mainly depends on the quality of the novel.

At this moment.

One editor said, "The main problem is that martial arts and fantasy novels have become niche genres. The top authors have all gone to write fantasy and urban novels, so it's hard to find high-quality martial arts and fantasy novels."

The words fell.

Everyone nodded.

This statement resonated with everyone.

Fantasy, or xianxia, ​​can be said to have developed from wuxia. Since fantasy novels became wildly popular online and became the mainstream genre, wuxia and xianxia have gradually declined and become extremely niche, especially wuxia, which is so niche that almost no one writes about it, except for die-hard wuxia fans and fan fiction.

Not to mention, it's impossible to produce any high-quality or blockbuster novels in these two genres.

As for urban novels, due to their ability to immerse the reader, they have always been a top-tier genre in online novels.

When in doubt, writing about the city is the way to go.

"There's no hope for martial arts and fantasy films. I've already applied to the higher-ups to see if I can go to the sixth group."

"Group Six? Isn't that the group that handles paranormal and science fiction? That doesn't seem like a good fit either?"

"It's better than being stuck in the second group eating dirt."

"That's true! Although supernatural science fiction is a niche genre, there are always some supporters who are willing to pay for the novels they like."

"..."

Gu Qingyao did not participate in the discussion.

She was a new employee, just promoted from intern to full-time, and was practically invisible in the second group.

I'm not familiar with these long-term employees.

After leaving the restroom, she returned to her workstation.

As a tomboy who has loved watching martial arts and fantasy dramas since childhood, she is very fond of martial arts and fantasy themes.

Although both of these themes are currently unpopular, she has not given up hope.

Every time she reviews a work, she wants to find a martial arts or fantasy novel that can be considered a masterpiece.

This is what motivates her to work overtime these past few days.

Unfortunately, the more I searched, the more disappointed I became.

"Let's read a few more books, then we'll go eat." Gu Qingyao glanced at the time; it was almost lunchtime.

She opened a new novel.

However, the title of this book made Gu Qingyao frown slightly. The novel was called "Covering the Sky".

Chapter 40 Youmingyue is a complete newbie...

It's not that there's anything wrong with the book title.

Rather, this naming method is outdated.

Nowadays, most online novel titles are chosen to contain sensational elements.

Such as:

Thanks for the invitation. Living in the city, my immortality has been exposed.

The King of Soldiers Returns, But His Daughter Is Sleeping in a Pigsty

I built an assassin dynasty and slaughtered across the heavens.

"Traveling Back to the Song Dynasty, My Wife is Pan Jinlian?"

and many more……

Titles like "Covering the Sky" are usually only chosen by top-tier authors.

But can their level of attention and readership be the same as that of newbies?

completely different!

Newbies who try to use their naming conventions are practically asking for trouble.

"Sigh, yet another newbie just starting out."

Gu Qingyao glanced at the author's pen name: You Mingyue.

really.

He's a complete newbie!

However, it's also quite bizarre that this pen name is the same as the stage name of the twins who wrote "Red Cliff".

"I guess he's just lazy."

Gu Qingyao shook her head.

This kind of situation is common in the online literature community. For example, an author likes to eat potatoes, so he adopts a pen name that means "loves to eat potatoes." Another author likes to eat tomatoes, so he adopts a pen name that means "loves to eat tomatoes."

As a result, a trend of using vegetables as pen names has even emerged in the online literature circle.

Compared to the various whimsical pen names used by female authors, male authors tend to choose pen names rather casually.

My mind was a jumble of thoughts.

Gu Qingyao clicked on the first page and began formally reviewing the novel.

The story begins.

Taking Voyager 2, a space probe launched by the United States more than 30 years ago, as a starting point, it took a picture in space and transmitted it back to NASA.

"In the desolate universe, nine enormous corpses lay there silently..."

NASA received a set of mysterious data transmitted back by Voyager 2. After a difficult process of deciphering and reconstructing it, they saw an incredible picture.

Extremely shocked!

"God, what did I see?"

"How is this possible? I can't believe it!"

"..."

Gu Qingyao raised an eyebrow: "Starting with suspense? Not bad."

In fact...

This kind of opening is already considered good among the novels she reviewed this morning.

The writing is skillful and has no major flaws.

Keep watching.

Scene transition.

Five years have passed.

Inside the International Space Station, which orbits the Earth, several astronauts who were on a space mission looked out of the station and their expressions changed simultaneously, their pupils contracting sharply.

In a time when the existence of God has been almost denied, their minds were strongly impacted, and they witnessed an incredible scene.

Outside the International Space Station, in the cold and dark universe, nine enormous structures lay motionless, as if they had been there since time immemorial.

Those were actually nine dragon corpses!

It is exactly the same as the dragon in ancient Chinese legends.

However, they have lost their vitality.

"That is……"

After being deeply shocked, the astronauts gasped as they witnessed an even more astonishing scene.

At the tails of the nine enormous black dragon corpses, thick black iron chains, hundreds of meters long, were bound, leading to the dark cosmic space behind them, where a twenty-meter-long bronze coffin hung silently...

Kowloon pulls the coffin!
