Chapter 138 Urging for Updates

"If I may ask, has Lin Yuan practiced the Sunflower Manual or the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual?"

"Hahahaha—you are indeed quite presumptuous."

"Why do you say that?"

"A eunuch!!!"

"This novel has been on hiatus for even longer?!"

"Stop using watching 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes' as an excuse; it's already been shown on TV twice."

"I'm not Sister Li!"

The novel "Lin Yuan" has been on hiatus since the second day after its release, and it has been two months since then.

At the beginning, when the TV series was airing, there were indeed no complaints from the audience.

I can only read five or six thousand words of a novel in a day, but I can watch two episodes of a TV series for more than an hour.

Moreover, the TV series is excellent, depicting the martial arts world they imagined, providing readers with a top-notch alternative.

Especially after the TV series achieved phenomenal popularity, readers were filled with a desire to share and a sense of superiority, posting comments everywhere.

Amway, getting people to get hooked.

During those twenty-odd days, many people even reread the novel "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

However, just when they were fully expecting to finish watching the TV series and then immediately read the novel *The Smiling, Proud Wanderer*, with a constant stream of intellectual nourishment—

Lin Yuan hasn't updated!

What was Lin Yuan doing at that time?

While browsing Weibo, I saw many people praising the actors who played various roles in the drama.

Then came the famous one-yuan copyright fee incident, which further elevated Lin Yuan's already superior status.

He seems to be truly putting his values ​​into practice.

Jianghu hero, martial arts master, martial arts grandmaster—these titles were all bestowed upon Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan has not responded to this matter.

Just when everyone thought he had gone to quietly write, he still didn't update.

As the days passed, there was still no movement from either the novel or Lin Yuan.

This sparked discontent among a growing number of readers.

At the very least, there should be some explanation!

"Teacher Lin Yuan, is the ending still not finished? *facepalm emoji*"

Upon seeing the message from Li Xiaoqing, Xu Jinyan replied, "Soon."

He told the editor that he planned to release the final 100,000 words all at once to soothe everyone's wounded hearts.

Li Xiaoqing: "Teacher Lin Yuan, some readers are already clamoring to burn down the editorial department. [Facepalm emoji]"

Lin Yuan: "—Aren't you going to use your sword?"

Li Xiaoqing: "Send it too!"

Li Xiaoqing: "This was just dismantled in the last few days."

Li Xiaoqing: "[Image].jpg"

Xu Jinyan clicked on the link and saw a clean table with various knives neatly arranged: a utility knife, a paper cutter, and...

Scalpel, scissors, kitchen knife, cleaver —

He even found a crescent-shaped knife inside, which looked rusty, and he didn't know what kind of knife it was.

He marked it and sent it over, asking, "What kind of knife is this? It looks like an old item."

Li Xiaoqing sent him another photo, seemingly with a note attached as if a reader had sent him a knife, worried he wouldn't know what it was for:

Hello, Master Lin Yuan. This knife is called a castration knife, also known as a bird-falling knife, and it has a history of over a hundred years.

The knife weighs three jin and four liang, is six inches and two fen long, and is made of an alloy of copper and gold. It is said that knives made of this material are less likely to cause infection and are widely praised.

Of course, if you're not used to old-fashioned items, I've also included a modern "Happy Brand" razor blade, which works just as well.

May you soon achieve mastery of your divine skills!

Master Lin Yuan, a man of both literary and martial prowess. May you reign supreme over the martial world for eternity!

Xu Jinyan: "————"

While suppressing a laugh, Li Xiaoqing typed, "Teacher Lin Yuan, you don't need to mind it. The readers were just joking with you."

Lin Yuan: "For my next novel, I definitely won't take a single day off."

Li Xiaoqing: "Teacher Lin Yuan, many of the letters sent by readers are actually very touching."

Lin Yuan: "Thank you for your hard work."

That's true. Since no one knew Lin Yuan's identity, the readers sent the items to the Creation World.

Because there were so many things, the Creation Platform specially set aside a room to store Lin Yuan's various items.

They would also take his photos regularly, even of the letters from readers.

Li Xiaoqing: "It's not hard work, it's what I should do."

She continued, "By the way, Mr. Lin Yuan, today Lei Jun, the founder of Xiaomi, contacted the platform to express his love for your novel and, as a reader, urged you to update it soon."

After typing this, Li Xiaoqing couldn't help but sigh. How many big shots had come here?

Zhou Hongyi of 360, Ding Sanshi of NetEase, and Song Weiping of Greentown Real Estate —

Each of them is a leader in their respective industry, and each of them is someone she would never have met before.

Even such people like Lin Yuan's novels and look forward to Lin Yuan updating them soon.

Even in public, these people often talk about Lin Yuan's martial arts novels.

Take Lei Jun for example. He once said, "There are no shortcuts to making hardware or doing self-developed products. Just like Guo Jing, it all depends on hard work day after day and the accumulation of years."

"One should retain a Linghu Chong-like open-mindedness in one's heart and not be bound by fame, fortune, or scale."

Xu Jinyan was somewhat surprised when she saw the message forwarded by Li Xiaoqing. Lei Jun was also urging her to update.

He went through the list of well-known entrepreneurs relayed by Li Xiaoqing and suddenly realized that one person seemed to be missing.

What about Jack Ma?

He's a well-known martial arts enthusiast!

Meanwhile, inside Director Hu's company.

He is currently holding a preparatory meeting with his team for the TV series "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer".

Casting, filming locations, theme song, costumes, props, script adaptation, martial arts style, budget—a myriad of tasks, yet all progressed simultaneously.

"Director, regarding the script adaptation, the novel isn't finished yet, the characters' endings are incomplete, and the subplots and foreshadowing haven't been resolved. We can't just make it up ourselves."

Director Hu carefully considered the situation and said, "The character designs for each role are quite complete. Let's polish the earlier parts first."

"I'll go ask Lin Yuan later."

Director Hu thought to himself, "I'll contact Jin Yan later."

"Director, when do we start casting?"

The casting director looked at the thick stack of resumes in his hand, his face showing a bittersweet happiness.

There were just too many! Actors of all age in the entertainment industry submitted their resumes.

Since the hit drama "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", who hasn't been envious of the popularity of Li Yitong, Hu Ke and others?

The casting director suddenly asked, "Did Mr. Lin Yuan recommend any actors this time?"

Seeing everyone looking at him, Director Hu said, "—I'll just ask while I'm at it!"

Just then, his phone received a call from an unknown number.

He'd gotten used to it; there were always some influential people who could find his phone number anyway.

There were all sorts of people recommending roles, investing, and venues.

He didn't mind these things; in short, everything was for the sake of making a good drama and living up to Teacher Lin Yuan's trust.

Hello.

However, this time, after hearing the self-introduction on the other end of the phone, he immediately sat up straight.

"Mr. Ma, please speak!"

"ah?!

'

"6

"Feng Qingyang?!"
