the next day!
Hot news!
The media is excited!
"The writer ranking list will be updated at midnight on December 1st, with Xu Ping, Chu Kuang, and Lu Yang competing for the top spot!"
"The Blue Star Writers List was suddenly revised, the red names are close to the data, Chu Kuang Luyang may sprint into the top ten?"
"Xu Ping, top ten goalkeepers?"
"The gap between the three great writers may be less than one book?"
《Competition among the top ten writers is fierce! 》
《Everything is possible in the next writer list! 》
"An expert analysis shows that the gap between Chu Kuang, Xu Ping and Lu Yang may be only as thick as a layer of paper!"
It was the same morning.
Lin Yuan worked all night and had already written more than half of the new book. As for what to write about, he actually thought about it for about twenty minutes last night. He felt that choosing the work was more tiring than writing the book itself.
Because of time.
First of all, it must be a short story.
The second is the type of subject matter.
Lin Yuan wants to choose a type that can become popular in the shortest time.
After numerous rounds of screening, Lin Yuan narrowed down the genres to science fiction, mystery, and fairy tale, which are the three most suitable for short stories.
However, the fairy tale selection space is the smallest.
Because Lin Yuan has almost written all the most amazing fairy tales on Earth, there are only a few left that can be used, so he will remove them first.
There is a lot of room for choice in mystery and science fiction.
However, Chu Kuang's achievements in the field of science fiction are slightly lacking.
On the contrary, when it comes to reasoning, Lin Yuan has a very high popularity base in all continents.
Not to mention the Sherlock Holmes, which later became so popular that it even caused a riot among readers;
Chu Kuang’s early mystery novel “Poirot” alone was a phenomenal work that triggered a sales frenzy!
Then this wave of writing reasoning is the best solution!
After all, Lin Yuan’s goal is to become famous quickly, and the readership base of mystery writing is there, which is definitely more advantageous than writing science fiction.
As for which short mystery story to write
This problem is obviously much simpler.
Lin Yuan directly chose "The Devotion of Suspect X"!
This is the best short or medium-length mystery novel in Keigo Higashino's creative career!
The entire book is about 150,000 words long. Lin Yuan finished 80,000 words last night and specially exchanged energy potions with the system for this purpose. Otherwise, he would not be able to stay up all night and still be full of energy.
The remaining 80,000 words
Lin Yuan planned to finish it in the evening.
Continue to use energy potions to resist fatigue.
People outside said that Chu Kuang typed very fast, but in fact, that was just his normal speed. In order to break into the top ten before the end of the month, Lin Yuan had a rare burst of energy!
…
Zhongzhou.
Xu Ping, who is currently ranked tenth on the Blue Star Writers List, got up early.
Xu Ping couldn't remember the last time he got up so early.
But there was no other way. His ranking on the writer list was in jeopardy. He had to kill Chu Kuang and Lu Yang, otherwise the goalkeeper would have to be replaced.
“It was originally planned to publish the book in April next year.”
Xu Ping turned on his computer and started working: "If I don't slack off, I can probably finish this work by February next year. Before that, neither Chu Kuang nor Lu Yang can publish a new book earlier."
The former has just finished writing two books.
The latter is a bit older.
Although I am about the same age as Lu Yang, I have already finished writing most of my book. I will definitely be ahead in terms of completion speed. If that doesn't work, I can consider sending out half of it first, but this has its drawbacks. A new book is still more suitable to be read in one go.
Then roll it up!
I don't believe that I can't kill you!
Xu Ping started typing on the keyboard!
He types very fast because he practiced it when he was young. The fact that he was ranked tenth on the Blue Star Writers List is also related to his typing speed. Writing fast is a great advantage for a writer!
Although not as fast as Chu Kuang.
But this time I have to be the early bird!
No, it's the early bird that catches the worm!
I guess Chu Kuang is currently lying on his bed quietly enjoying the aftereffects of "The Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils", and even fantasizing about writing a new book to surpass his own ranking
…
Qinzhou.
Lu Yang also got up early to work.
I am old now, and my typing speed is a bit slow, not as fast as young people like Chu Kuang. I have indeed just finished writing a book, but so what
My "A Thousand-Mile Journey" is a long novel!
Who says my new book has to be a long one
Wouldn't it be possible to seize the time and write a short story
Chu Kuang and Xu Ping would never have imagined that during the period when they stopped writing, in addition to secretly working on a novel, they had also accumulated an idea for a short story, and they would start writing it after they finished writing "A Thousand Miles of Boating".
This idea is absolutely hot!
Lu Yang is very confident!
The length of this short story is about 80,000 words. Now Lu Yang only needs to perfect the creativity and integrate the ideas, and he can complete it in a very short time!
How short
One month
That's about it.
Now Lu Yang has come to terms with it. He is indeed no match for Chu Kuang. Under normal circumstances, he might always be suppressed by Chu Kuang in the future rankings.
but!
This is a rare opportunity!
Lu Yang could easily take advantage of Chu Kuang and Xu Ping not paying attention and quietly kill them both, and briefly enjoy the feeling of being in the top ten!
hey-hey.
I can finish this short story within a month, but their new book will be published at least until next year, right
…
night.
On the global network.
Netizens have been enthusiastically discussing the news about the writer rankings, and this discussion has been going on for the entire day.
“The competition for the top ten is fierce!”
“The gap between Chu Kuang Luyang and Xu Ping on the Blue Star Writers List is so small, maybe the ranking will change in December?”
"It shouldn't be that fast, right?"
"At least until February."
“This time it all depends on who publishes a new book first.”
“Whoever’s new book comes out first will have the upper hand.”
"Although a new book can take the initiative, if it is too bad, it is better not to write it. However, for the three of them, the chance of writing a bad book is still very small. They are all top writers with no record of failure."
"In terms of speed, Chu Kuang is definitely the fastest!"
"Not necessarily. Lao Xu hasn't published a new book for a year. He feels the pressure now, so the new book should be out soon."
"yes."
"Although Chu Kuang is the fastest writer, he just finished writing two novels, and both of them are long novels. I guess his brain is temporarily empty."
"We must conserve our energy for this wave."
"So although Xu Ping is a little dangerous, it's not a big problem overall. Lu Yang is definitely slow at his age in writing books, and Chu Kuang has written millions of words this year, and he is exhausted both physically and mentally."
"I'll kill you while you're sick."
"Lu Yang wanted to sneak attack Chu Kuang but failed. However, while he was exhausted, he also almost consumed Chu Kuang. On the contrary, Xu Ping, whose ranking was somewhat dangerous because of this, is now full of energy and is most likely to complete the new book in a very short time!"
However.
Just when all parties were discussing frantically.
Chu Kuang suddenly posted a blog post:
New book preview: In half an hour I will publish a new novella of mystery "The Devotion of Suspect X" on my blog.
That’s right!
Novella!
As a powerful writer, it would be too stingy to announce that the new book is a short story. After all, it has 150,000 words. It is completely fine to call it a novella. Some people even dare to call it a novel with only 150,000 words.
I, Chu Kuang, have never been short!
As for why the preview was issued
Because Lin Yuan only has a few thousand words left to finish the book!
He went to the bathroom during the filming and used the preview to generate some hype, but Lin Yuan had no idea how much of a shock this news would cause to the outside world!
…
Comment section!
"Are my eyes blurry?"
"The old thief said his new book will be published in half an hour!?"
"new book?"
"Are you sure there's nothing wrong?"
"That's impossible. It's only been a short while since Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils was completed!"
"The new book is a novella?"
"The word count for a novella should be at least 100,000 words, right?"
…
On the Internet!
"Hurry and check out Chu Kuang's blog. He said his new book will be published in half an hour!"
"What?"
"Don't be ridiculous. Even if he is a master coder, he can't be this fast."
“Fuck!”
“It’s true!”
“He said it himself in his blog!”
"Nima!"
"How come this monster's new book is written so quickly, and he's planning to publish it directly online!?"
…
Zhongzhou.
Xu Ping was typing when his cell phone suddenly rang. It was a call from a writer friend in the circle.
He answered.
The person on the other side yelled directly: "Old Xu, your anus is in danger!"
Xu Ping and Xiao Ju were nervous: "What the hell do you want to do to me!"
The other party was stunned for a moment: "What the hell, what can I do to you, it's Chu Kuang who is interested in your chrysanthemum, his new book will be released in half an hour!"
Xu Ping was simply stunned.
Chu Kuang’s new book will be released in half an hour
How the hell is this possible? Hasn't he already written two books in a row? Doesn't he need to lie in bed and have a good rest
What a psycho!
I'm so damned excited, but I'm still not as fast as him!
The rankings came out last night, and this guy’s new book will be finished tonight!
Could it be that this guy doesn't need to sleep, rest his brain, or think when he writes a book
…
Qinzhou.
Lu Yang looked excited. After thinking hard since this morning, he had almost figured out the ideas for his new short story book. Now he could start writing!
Before you start writing.
Lu Yang turned on his mobile phone and checked the time, and suddenly saw a message push on his blog account.
Suddenly!
Lu Yang was stunned!
Chu Kuang's new book is ready!
What the hell is this push?!
Isn't it just to amuse me?!
I have seen people write books quickly, but Lu Yang has never seen anyone write a book as fast as him!
You just finished writing the Harry Potter series a few months ago, and you immediately wrote Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils to compete with me. Then, I wanted to take advantage of you and Xu Ping's inattention with my new book, so I quickly wrote a short story that I had thought of a long time ago to attack you, and now you tell me that you have even written a novella!
How can this be called a strong coder!
This is simply a tentacle monster!
This moment.
Lu Yang was shocked!
Xu Ping was also shocked!
Readers all over the world are stunned by Chu Kuang's efficiency in writing books!
