Chapter 86, The Beginning of "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer"
2015 11 Month 17 Day.
"I'm so envious of people who write good novels!"
"The Legend of the Condor Heroes only ended a few days ago, and I already have new inspiration, for a different world than the original Legend of the Condor Heroes. I'm looking forward to it!"
2015 11 Month 24 Day.
"Qilin has won the championship again. Xu Jinyan is really strong. No wonder Teacher Lin Yuan asked Xu Jinyan to write the theme song."
"Although I was mentally prepared, I was still a little disappointed to see that the novel was still only 30 words long."
2015 12 Month 1 Day.
Why hasn't the novel been updated yet?
"How many drafts does Lin Yuan need to prepare?"
"Actually, it's not that I can't understand it. After all, The Legend of the Condor Heroes just ended less than a month ago, and authors always need to take a break."
2015 12 Month 8 Day.
"It's been a whole month since 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes' ended! Lin Yuan, you should be aware of that."
2015 12 Month 15 Day.
"The new book announcement has been going on for a whole month! Lin Yuan, don't you have any sense of propriety?"
2015 12 Month 22 Day.
"It's winter solstice again, but I'm not happy."
I read "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" again.
"There's simply no substitute. Other martial arts novels just don't have this feel at all. Only fan fiction is barely worth reading."
2015 12 Month 29 Day.
"Why release this new book announcement? I've already taken my pants off, and you're telling me it's only for admiring from afar and not for touching?"
"I estimate that Lin Yuan the old thief will release his book on New Year's Day."
"You have to send me a book for the New Year. Don't force me to beg you on my knees!"
2016 1 Month 5 Day.
"Canglan Entertainment is holding its annual meeting today. As expected of the number one music company, their achievements are outstanding."
"Xu Jinyan alone is worth half a company."
"You old scoundrel Lin Yuan, I'll f*** you!"
"Even if I, Liu Xiaobing, starve to death, die outside, or jump off a building, I will never read another of Lin Yuan's novels again..."
The next day, "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" was released with 100,000 words!
Liu Xiaobing: "Wow, it smells amazing!"
……
……
"Finally, an update!"
"One hundred thousand words in one go, awesome!!"
"Sometimes, people need to be more tolerant and understanding of each other."
"The first chapter has the same familiar feel; the plot is truly captivating."
"The protagonist is having a tough time; his entire family was wiped out right at the start?"
"Good heavens, Shaolin, Wudang, Emei, Qingcheng, and the Five Mountains Sword Sects, so many martial arts forces."
"Didn't Lin Yuan say the protagonist is from Mount Hua? Why do I get the feeling that Yue Buqun isn't a good person..."
"I'm a little confused about who the main character is."
"These 100,000 words alone give me a completely different feeling from 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes'."
"The main storyline of 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes' is a bit too simple. In 'The Smiling, Proud Wanderer,' it is clear that the characters are no longer stereotypical, and the story is told through multiple lines of narrative, both overt and covert."
"The Legend of the Condor Heroes begins with a complex historical backdrop, while The Smiling, Proud Wanderer seems to have the martial arts world itself as a society, with characters possessing stances, ambitions, and desires... It's truly a different kind of martial arts world!"
"..."
2016 1 Month 6 Day.
The day after the annual meeting ended, Xu Jinyan updated the first 100,000 words of "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer".
The entire novel *The Smiling, Proud Wanderer* is also around one million words long, with the first 100,000 words corresponding exactly to the first four chapters of the original text.
The Fuwei Escort Agency was wiped out, Lin Pingzhi entered the martial arts world for the first time, Linghu Chong saved Yilin, and then the scene moved to the most popular tourist destination in all the worlds - Liu Zhengfeng's retirement.
Next, he plans to continue updating with over 10,000 words a day to help his dear family members cool down.
Actually, although he is a bit unethical in terms of updating, overall, his average daily word count is not small.
Take "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" for example. He wrote a million words in four months, averaging more than 8,000 words a day, which is already a very conscientious work by an author.
Readers can finish a wonderful novel in a short time without it ending badly, and they can also gain a lot of emotional value in a short time.
It has been about seven weeks since the initial announcement of the new book.
He monitors the feedback received by the system every day and even created a data table.
Since the system only displays the source of the emotion value and doesn't specify whether it was generated by Xu Jinyan or Lin Yuan, he only has a general conclusion:
On the positive side, Xu Jinyan's image is impeccable, and his "philanthropic" personality is not yet widely known, coupled with Lin Yuan's identity...
This results in him accumulating approximately 25 positive emotional points per day without doing anything.
Regarding negative emotions, readers were most tolerant and understanding during the first week after the new book's announcement, so Lin Yuan likely benefited very little.
As for Xu Jinyan, even the most outstanding celebrity will always have someone who doesn't like him, resulting in him accumulating an average of 2 negative emotion points per day in the first week.
In the second week, some people were dissatisfied, averaging 10 per day;
In the third week, the number of dissatisfied people increased, averaging 20 per day.
Week 4: 400,000; Week 5: 800,000; Week 6: 1.6 million; Week 7: 3.2 million.
To summarize his earnings across the entire internet over these fifty days:
The income over these fifty days has reached a new historical high, with a cumulative positive sentiment of 1250 million and a cumulative negative sentiment of 4424 million.
After contributing approximately 25% of personal income tax, this is automatically deducted by the system; it's impossible not to... oh,
—The system is proprietary, so we don't need to pay for it.
The above is his income information; below is his expenditure information:
Having experienced the benefits of upgrading his "Tai Chi" skill to the professional level last time, he focused his attention on this.
The system's positive sentiment value reached 4150 million, and the negative sentiment value reached 4425 million.
After reserving 1000 points of hidden energy:
[Tai Chi: Professional (401/3000)+] --> [Tai Chi: Specialized (1/6000)];
[Cooking Skills: Profession (480/3000)+] --> [Cooking Skills: Profession (1030/3000)];
My Tai Chi skills have reached the expert level, and my culinary skills have reached one-third of the professional level.
He saw no immediate hope of reaching the master level in Tai Chi, so he redistributed his remaining skill points:
While elevating Tai Chi to the master level, culinary skills are also elevated to the expert level.
As for the feeling of elevating Tai Chi from a professional level to a specialist level:
—He progressed from being able to feel the force to being able to feel the blood and qi.
His blood and qi rose from his dantian, rushed up his spine to his shoulders and neck, swirled and turned, and then rushed to his temples, where a thin stream flowed around his eyes, making all the minor ailments he had recently developed from typing disappear.
He even went to the hospital for a physical examination and found that he was so healthy that he was almost unrecognizable!
He opened his eyes and exhaled a long breath, unsure if this counted as a breakthrough to the legendary Dark Force...
Anyway, even in the dead of winter, he was wearing a short-sleeved shirt outside and was neither too hot nor too cold; he stayed up all night and was still full of energy the next day.
A significant increase in strength and physical attributes is inevitable; as for whether he will possess the ability to injure through the body...
During the dinner at yesterday's company annual meeting, he patted Xiao Wang's arm, channeling a tiny bit of energy into it with his combined qi and blood. Anyway, nothing seemed wrong at the time...
As for what happened later, we'll find out then.
