Are you trying to force me to become a star?

Chapter 141, the ending of "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer," and a preview of "The Return of the Condor Heroes."

The casting for "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" is in full swing.

Fans of each actor are keen to recommend their idols for a particular role online.

The novel's fans held a poll in their reader group asking "Who would you most like to see in the role?"

Linghu Chong, Ren Yingying, Lin Pingzhi, Yue Lingshan, Yue Buqun, Zuo Lengchan, Dongfang Bubai, Feng Qingyang —

Looking at the characters available for voting, readers' first reaction was, "How come there are so many memorable characters?"

"Now that's what you call a group portrait!"

"Including 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes,' the character development is absolutely superb!"

"No wonder those actors were so eager to get in there."

"Many singers live off one song for their entire lives, and I think it's similar to playing an important role in Lin Yuan's novel."

Ultimately, for an actor to be remembered, they either need outstanding acting skills or a breakout role.

"Relatively speaking, acting skills are easier to hone than roles are hard to come by."

"If Lin Yuan writes a few more books of similar quality, he'll truly become the living father of actors in the Chinese entertainment industry."

"Will they be given titles like 'Zhang Yimou Girl' or 'Stephen Chow Girl'?"

"Lin Girl? Yuan Girl? Yu Girl?"

"What the heck is a 'mermaid girl'?"

"Longing for fish while standing by the water!"

'

'

"Don't overthink it. I'm starting to wonder if Lin Yuan has already castrated himself?"

"Don't be so pessimistic—what if you die!"

"Ha ha ha ha----"

"I'm telling you! You guys are going too far! I won't allow you to talk about Teacher Lin Yuan like that!"

"???"

"What's going on?"

"Isn't he the one who usually yells the most?"

'

'

"Lin Yuan has updated—he's added 100,000 words, and the novel is now complete!"

""

Two months later, "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" finally came to its finale.

Before the hiatus, the plot reached the point of Yue Lingshan and Ning Zhongze's deaths.

And the so-called ending is composed of the endings of each individual character.

Zuo Lengchan, died.

The Songshan School has been basically wiped out!

Yue Buqun died.

The Huashan Sect has been basically wiped out!

Ren Woxing died.

All the ambitious ones have been wiped out!

Master Mo faked his death and escaped, then went into seclusion in the mountains.

The old master Feng went into seclusion in the back mountains and no longer cared about the martial arts world.

Linghu Chong took out the zither, and Ren Yingying held the jade flute. The two played the zither and flute in harmony, and performed a duet of "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer"!

The most tragic character in the entire book, Lin Pingzhi, is forever trapped in the dark prison of West Lake.

Many readers, upon reaching this point, are overwhelmed with mixed emotions and a profound sense of melancholy.

The story begins with him, a dashing young man in fine clothes, riding a horse with a sword in hand, overlooking the vast and open landscape.

He should have been the most morally upright and wholesome young man in the entire book.

But when you're in the world of martial arts, you're not in control of your own destiny.

When he is mentioned again in the final chapter of the novel, he is described as a blind, destitute man who has avenged himself with blood and blood, and whose life is now devoid of light.

(End of the book)

#The Smiling, Proud Wanderer has ended#

"Six months, one million words—another martial arts world has come to an end!"

"After reading 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes,' my heart was burning with emotion; after closing 'The Smiling, Proud Wanderer,' I felt a profound sense of desolation."

"Guo Jing teaches us to uphold the righteous path, while Linghu Chong teaches us to let go of our attachments."

"The Legend of the Condor Heroes is about chivalry, while The Smiling, Proud Wanderer is about humanity."

"Once you're in the game, you're not in control of your own destiny."

"Teacher Lin Yuan's words become more and more meaningful the more you think about them."

"The Smiling, Proud Wanderer! What is laughter? What is pride?"

"Laugh at the absurdities of the martial world, and remain true to your heart and live a carefree life."

Xu Jinyan glanced at the trending topics and then turned her attention to her system.

The last time there was such a large-scale increase in skill points was after the live stream of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

Now, more than two months later, the main changes on his panel are:

[Positive Emotion Score: 1000, 0000]

[Negative Emotion Value: 1500, 0000];

【Skill:】

Tai Chi: Specialization (4500/6000)+;

[Culinary Skills: Expert (4500/6000)+];

[Calligraphy: Professional (1500/3000)+];

Upgrading the three skills cost approximately 4500 skill points.

The negative emotions over the past two months mainly stemmed from the novel's hiatus, which garnered a total of around 50 million views.

The positive emotions mainly came from graduation live streams, one-yuan copyright fees, and daily revenue, accumulating to around 40 million yuan.

Nowadays, even if he does nothing, he can earn more than 20 yuan a day in positive earnings. This is the benefit he has gained as his fame has grown.

He became increasingly certain that he had made the right career choice: his emotional system was naturally suited to being a star.

As for the negative benefits, he was somewhat worried.

The Smiling, Proud Wanderer ended with a major climax, but it was also the last climax.

It's unlikely that there will be any significant income in the short term.

He pondered for a moment and decided to follow the old routine once again: release a preview of his new book.

Just like last time, he posted a Weibo message: "I'm sorry, I haven't updated recently."

"To express my apology, I am posting all the subsequent content at once."

"I finished watching the TV series version of 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes' a month ago, and I still wanted more."

"I saw Guo Jing standing on the city wall of Xiangyang, the setting sun like blood, banners fluttering in the wind;"

"I saw Huang Rong nestled beside him, a hero and a beauty, a perfect couple."

"I suddenly feel that the story of 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes' is not over yet —"

"So, I paused updating 'The Smiling, Proud Wanderer' to jot down some inspirations and prepare a new book—'The Return of the Condor Heroes'."

"Novel sequels have always been a huge challenge for creators, and I'm terrified of ending up with a disappointing conclusion—"

"Therefore, I will be working on projects in seclusion from now on."

"Stay tuned!"

"I hereby guarantee that I will not take any leave during the serialization of 'The Return of the Condor Heroes'."

#Lin Yuan's "The Return of the Condor Heroes"#

#Lin Yuan's New Book#

#Sequel to The Legend of the Condor Heroes#

As expected, Lin Yuan has now become a very important figure.

The slightest movement, and it immediately trends on social media.

His deep ties to the entertainment industry make him even more attractive to the public.

"Just finished one book, and you're already starting another?"

"Inspiration never runs dry, right?"

"No wonder he disappeared recently. He didn't even give a reason for stopping updating his novel. Turns out he went to start a new book."

Is the Jing-Rong romance about to start again?

"Looking forward to it! Looking forward to it! Looking forward to it!"

"I'm not looking forward to it! Please, please don't write a sequel! Sequels never end well!"

"At best, you'll get criticized; at worst, you'll be expelled from the author's register!!!"

"Think twice before you leap into the abyss!"

'

'

However, Lin Yuan did not respond to either the positive or negative opinions.

It's possible that, as he said, he's really gone into seclusion to create!

And if you were to ask who is the most excited person at this moment, it would be the original cast and crew of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

We just got upgraded, and now we have to do it again?!

Lin Yuan is such a good father!

Li Yitong couldn't wait to contact Xu Jinyan, as she had just been worried about not having much interaction with him.

And here comes the topic!

"Jinyan, do you know what Lin Yuan's new story is about?"

"Defend Xiangyang?"

Xu Jinyan: "————Yes."

Li Yitong: "That's fantastic!"

Xu Jinyan: "————What's so great about it?"

Li Yitong: "???"

"Teacher Lin Yuan praised my portrayal of Huang Rong!"

Xu Jinyan: "————Lin Yuan said this is a story 20 years later, and the main characters are no longer Guo Jing and Huang Rong."

Li Yitong: 6
