Leaves fell all around

In late autumn, it coalesces into a blanket.

There was a dog that ate ghosts.

Passing through country lanes or jungles

It wagged its tail alone.

He proudly raised his head, glaring angrily ahead.

The wind scattered the ghosts

The dog pounced on empty air.

—Song Runrun

Xu Fan looked at the poem and also expressed some admiration.

It must be that girl who wanted me to help her read the poem, otherwise why would she have sent it twice in a row?

So he thought for a moment and sent Song Runrun a text message: "Your poem is really well written."

After sending it, Xu Fan read the poem twice more, and he found it very pleasant to read.

Moreover, the more I read it, the more I felt that it had a special meaning that I still couldn't understand.

So he stopped thinking about it, closed his email, and opened Qidian again.

Just then, the system notification sound finally rang.

Xu Fan was pleasantly surprised to find that the Hundred Alliances mission had been completed.

===Chapter 296 The Master of the Flute===

"Ding! Congratulations, host, for completing the side quest: Publish the novel 'Ghost Blows Out the Light' and adapt it into an audio novel, gaining 100 Alliance Masters."

Congratulations, host, on receiving your reward: two parallel world songs, "Blue and White Porcelain" and "The Thief of Time." Congratulations also on acquiring the identity of a master of the xiao (vertical bamboo flute).

The system's reminder in his mind surprised Xu Fan.

This should be the fastest and easiest time for me to obtain the title of instrument master.

As a master of the xiao (vertical bamboo flute), Xu Fan naturally possessed perfect skills in playing the xiao, and he couldn't help but feel excited.

He actually remembered being quite familiar with the xiao (vertical bamboo flute), not because he could play it.

In reality, he can't; at most, he can only make a loud sound.

The memory was familiar because he remembered that his father had a bamboo flute and played it exceptionally well, but he was too clumsy to learn it.

But at that moment, he suddenly felt like laughing.

Dad!

Look, I've suddenly become even better than you.

Xu Fan really wanted to show off in front of his father, but unfortunately, he didn't know where he was.

The two songs are from parallel worlds. "Blue and White Porcelain" has a more ancient style, but it is different from "Broken Bridge and Lingering Snow" and has a unique flavor.

Another song, "Time Thief," captivated Xu Fan with just one line of lyrics.

Time is something that catches you off guard. Sometimes it's sunny, sometimes it's windy, sometimes it's cloudy, and sometimes it's rainy. You can't fight against the passing of time, yet you still miss the past. It steals away your youth but leaves you behind.

The more music Xu Fan acquired, the more he admired that world.

The parallel world mentioned by that system is roughly the same as the world I live in, and even some historical figures are similar. For example, Li Bai existed in a certain dynasty and was a famous person.

But in that world, Li Bai was known as the "Poet Immortal," while in their world he was merely a very famous and unrestrained poet.

For example, the writer Zhu Ziqing exists in this world and in that world.

Xu Fan also wrote an essay called "The Back View," but whether their life trajectories were the same is unknown.

Xu Fan studied the two songs from the parallel world. He also wanted to study the xiao (vertical bamboo flute), but found that the fat man had not bought the instrument in the studio, so he lost interest for a while.

Then, his thoughts returned to the premise of the Hundred Alliances mission. The mission reminder he had just received must have been the reward from the last alliance leader.

Xu Fan turned on his computer to check who the hundred alliance leaders were.

But when he opened the details page, he was completely stunned.

The top-ranked Gold Alliance Master tipped over 50 million audiobook coins, which is equivalent to 500,000 yuan in cash.

The second-place winner also received over 400,000 audiobook coins in donations.

Xu Fan couldn't help but complain, "Are they all this rich? The two of them have almost a million in cash combined, just to listen to a book?"

Xu Fan wasn't very familiar with online novels; he only had a general understanding of them, since many people around him read them.

But he never dreamed that these big fans would be so crazy.

Perhaps it's because "Ghost Blows Out the Light" is just too popular.

While Xu Fan was in shock, Xiao Gu and others in the Qidian editorial department were already in an uproar. The popularity of "Ghost Blows Out the Light" could no longer be described as just "popular".

Since last night, hundreds of alliances have emerged, and there are even eleven Gold Alliance Leaders, with the top two receiving nearly a million in cash.

While they were getting excited, they had already arranged for graphic designers to record images, communicate, and plan.

Soon, Qidian.com launched a massive promotional campaign across all its channels, propelling the novel to new heights once again.

As a result, "Ghost Blows Out the Light" suddenly became a super popular phenomenon in the online literature world, a suspenseful tomb raiding novel that dominated all other novel categories and directly topped all the charts on Qidian.com.

The author of "The Dragon Walking in the Mortal World" has become incredibly popular, the most popular dark horse online novel author of the year, unmatched by anyone.

To be precise, it only took him a little over a week to get on this list after publishing his book.

Do not doubt, and do not question.

After all, everything from the novel's publication to now has been traceable.

Since its initial publication, the book has been updated with 180,000 words, attracting numerous editorial staff members, including editor Xiao Gu and the editor-in-chief.

They started with a small-scale promotion, and the results were already beyond what many people achieve when they first open a book.

Subsequently, with the editor-in-chief's authorization, a multi-channel promotion strategy was launched, which was the breakthrough that led to the book's widespread popularity online.

It's not a novel; it's a gradual process, going from 10,000 words to 100,000 words, and it needs to be promoted slowly.

This book started with 180,000 words and was updated in increments of 60,000. This level of promotion cannot be viewed through the lens of ordinary promotion methods.

After this multi-channel promotion became a huge success, Xu Fan personally voiced the audiobook and adapted it into an audio novel, which was then promoted in advance before its release.

Naturally, it attracted a lot of support, and thus, the dark horse "Dragon Walking in the Mortal World" became an unstoppable hit.

The update speed of 60,000 words has astonished all authors in the online literature circle.

The update speed is inhuman.

Whether Xu Fan is even human is another matter, but at least the editor-in-chief, Xiao Gu, is overjoyed.

He didn't know if the Xu Fan behind "The Dragon Walking in the Mortal World" was the Xu Fan he hoped for.

If so, then he truly is a genius; if not, then they are all geniuses.

However, he admires Xu Fan for his singing, but he is grateful to Xu Fan behind the "Dragon Walking in the Mortal World".

Because she is the editor, the more popular Xu Fan's book becomes, the more benefits she will definitely receive.

Salary is the most direct aspect, but there are many other hidden factors as well.

Therefore, Xiao Gu immediately called Xu Fan to express her approval of him and even suggested meeting to discuss the details of the subsequent promotion.

But Xu Fan had already lost interest.

After completing the mission, he had no further intention of continuing.

But he's not one to start something and then leave it unfinished, so he'll definitely finish updating the book "Ghost Blows Out the Light". He also plans to record one volume of the audiobook version, and then hand over the rest to Xiao Gu and the professional recording team she found.

Xu Fan refused to meet with her.

Although judging from her voice, Xiao Gu must be a beautiful editor, but what does that have to do with me?

Seeing Xu Fan hang up the phone, Xiao Gu felt a little disappointed, because he really wanted to know if "the dragon walking in the mortal world" was Brother Fan.

But after thinking about it, she still laughed. If they couldn't meet, then they wouldn't meet.

But with such a popular novel, I need to get more recommendations.

Xu Fan never thought that his editor, Xiao Gu, would be disappointed because she couldn't see him, nor did she think that Xiao Gu would find him more recommendations.

He hung up the phone, looked at Zhao Feiyang who was stretching and still wanted to go back to sleep, shook his head, and turned off the computer.

He went over and covered Zhao Feiyang with the blanket he had kicked off before leaving the room to buy some food.

But as soon as I stepped out of the room, my phone rang again.

Caller ID: Han Zilu

===Chapter 297 Three Themes===

Xu Fan thought about the time; it should be late at night in Gran Country right now.

After answering the phone, I couldn't help but ask, "Why aren't you resting so late?"

After hearing Xu Fan's words on the other end of the phone, Han Zilu hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm a little scared."

Xu Fan was taken aback. Could it be that you read Chinese online novels while you were abroad?

That's what he thought, but he still asked, "What's wrong?"

Xu Fan was somewhat surprised when Han Zilu made this call, but he didn't think too much about it.

Xu Fan knew that, for Han Zilu at this moment, he was perhaps her greatest support.

Or perhaps the position he offered her sparked her interest in the future.

And these are the biggest supports that allow her to survive.

Han Zilu said, "The surgery is the day after tomorrow."

Xu Fan thought for a moment and said, "Everything will be alright."
