Since you are interested in reasoning, it is natural to do market research.
Lin Yuan spent several days understanding the reasoning market on Blue Star.
Just as Lin Yuan imagined...
Most of the reasoning is from the Blue Star orthodox school, which is the most popular school at present and also the way reasoning was originally formed.
So this is also the recognized traditional school in detective novels.
This type of story is mainly based on logical reasoning and puzzle solving, with thrilling and bizarre plots and intriguing tricks. The whole plot is unfolded through logical reasoning, and there are often tricks such as murders in closed rooms or on isolated islands...
In other words, Blue Star readers prefer pure reasoning.
Since it is pure reasoning, of course we should choose traditional works.
There is also the term "benge" on Blue Star, but more people call this type of novel "traditional reasoning."
After all, this is the model that everyone is most familiar with.
Big names like Agatha Christie and Conan Doyle on Earth are all representatives of this category.
The orthodox school of mystery can satisfy readers who enjoy solving puzzles. Usually, the readers and detectives are put on the same level as much as possible, with the same number of clues. Some orthodox detective novels will contain a declaration of "challenging the readers."
For example, Quinn, the master of reasoning on Earth, likes to do this.
This type of novel will clearly tell readers in the work, "At this point you already have enough clues to solve the mystery."
This challenges the reader to solve the mystery as well as the detective.
Therefore, emphasis on fairness and rational logic are the characteristics of this type of reasoning.
Readers can have the fun of guessing riddles while reading the book.
This type of novel is definitely the origin of detective novels. In fantasy novels, it is called the authentic Xuanmen.
Classic subject matter, orthodox reasoning!
After understanding the market and knowing his general direction, Lin Yuan can customize novels.
No need to think about saving money this time.
Because of the recent box office of "The Piano Tuner" Lin Yuan made a lot of money!
It was so big that Lin Yuan felt a little swelled.
To the point where Lin Yuan directly told the system by name: "I want to order a mystery novel by Agatha Christie."
Well, this name should be familiar to everyone.
Agatha Christie, also known as "Grandma" by mystery fans.
An English female detective novelist and playwright, one of the three great masters of mystery literature!
In Europe and the United States, there is a person in the mystery world who is as famous as Agatha Christie, his name is Conan Doyle, the author of the "Sherlock Holmes" series.
The third one is Japan’s Matsumoto Seicho, who I won’t introduce in detail here.
In short, Lin Yuan aimed at the three great masters right from the start, and after comprehensive consideration, he decided to start with A-Po.
The system accepts all requests: "Do you want to customize it precisely to a certain work?"
"condition?"
"It costs extra money."
Lin Yuan's text system comes with voice effects:
“I choose random.”
Of course, Lin Yuan wanted to directly customize works such as "And Then There Were None", which are the most mature and influential works in the style of A-Grandma.
However, the price of grandma's masterpiece must be terrifying.
The more precise the customization, the more expensive it is.
Or randomly cheap.
In addition, even if it is random, it is not aimless randomness, but relative randomness with precise direction. After all, Lin Yuan has already determined the author of the work.
It’s grandma!
Most of Grandma's works are of good quality, so Lin Yuan is not worried about his hand being sloppy.
"Ding Dong, congratulations to the host for winning the work "The Mystery of Roger". The customization price is 8 million. Do you want to customize it?"
"custom made."
Lin Yuan's eyes lit up, and then he shook his head with a strange expression.
I finally wanted to try out a traditional theme and follow the orthodox reasoning route, but I didn't expect the system to give me a relatively special work under the name of an old lady.
However, this work is of good quality.
So Lin Yuan can totally accept this price.
Yes, among all of Ada Cho’s works, “The Mystery of Roger Affair” may not be recognized as the best, but it is definitely a work that Ada Cho cannot fail to mention!
The story is somewhat special.
But this is the work that made A-Po famous in her early days!
Especially after gaining relevant memories through reading, Lin Yuan felt more and more that this was a good customization.
Although he felt that it would be better if he could randomly get "And Then There Were None" or "Murder on the Orient Express", well, "Death on the Nile" is also good.
Even so, he was already very satisfied!
Even if it is not a very good fortune, it is still a good fortune.
However, this novel also has a special feature:
Once the reader knows in advance who the murderer is, there is no point in reading the novel.
so…
No spoilers here.
A hint to everyone:
If you don't want to miss out on the joy of reading because of someone's spoilers, it is strongly recommended that readers read the novel as soon as possible.
After customizing the novel, the next step is to adjust the background.
The following days.
Lin Yuan started with ease.
As time went by, it was finally March!
March in Qinzhou is spring.
Although there is still a chill in the air, all things have begun to revive.
And for many short story lovers, March is also the day when Chu Kuang releases new short stories on the tribe!
Therefore, many people logged onto the tribe as soon as possible to find Chu Kuang’s new work—
A short story titled "A Bowl of Plain Noodles"!
The correct translation of the original title should be "A Bowl of Clear Soup Soba Noodles".
In order to make readers feel more involved, Lin Yuan did not use buckwheat noodles, but directly chose "Yangchun noodles".
Some Chinese translations on Earth are also handled in this way.
It doesn't matter what surface it is.
What matters is the content.
Apparently, Shen Jiarui, who is currently ranked in the 20s, also thinks so.
At this time, all the new works to be released in March have been published by the tribe.
Shen Jiarui clicked on the work titled "A Bowl of Yangchun Noodles" without any hesitation.
The story begins in a noodle restaurant.
Very relevant.
The time is New Year's Eve.
The writing style is narrative: Just as the last customer left and the owner said he was closing, the door creaked open. A woman walked in with two children. The two boys, about 6 and 10 years old, were wearing brand new sportswear. The woman, however, was wearing a short, diagonal plaid coat that was out of season.
Shen Jiarui raised his eyebrows.
Chu Kuang's writing style is mostly short and has its own characteristics.
For example, in "The Necklace", there is always a strange tone between the lines. Shen Jiarui didn't know that it was the style of the translated text.
But this time, Chu Kuang's writing style is closer to his earlier short story "Artificial Beauty".
It is not difficult to pronounce and the tone is normal. This is the most common way of writing.
Will there be a shocking reversal this time
What Chu Kuang is best at is the ending of a short story, which is a reasonable yet unexpected twist that shocks the readers on the spot!
Shen Jiarui had been shocked by Chu Kuang several times.
If it is still that kind of reversal creation, Shen Jiarui is a little scared.
But as Shen Jiarui read, he gradually realized...
This story has no reversal.
This time, Chu Kuang actually changed his writing style and used narrative words to write a serious short story.
