After receiving Su Tan's big red envelope, Hayden opened it when he returned to the bedroom at night, and found a thick stack of interstellar coins inside.
Looking at it at a glance, he knew clearly that Su Tan might have withdrawn all of his first month's manuscript fee, divided it into two halves and gave it to Suning and him, leaving nothing for himself.
Under the dim and warm desk lamp, Hayden was holding the smallest red envelope in his life, but suddenly he couldn't help but curl his lips, as if he had received the happiest gift.
And Su Tan, who returned to the bedroom, had just finished taking a shower, turned on the computer, and clicked to open the novel file.
He is in a particularly good mood today.
The novel was rated as one of the top ten excellent novels on the subject of the ancient earth, and it was posted on the promotional column of the novel's homepage, and there was a two-week recommendation period.
Withdrawing the first manuscript fee, I bought gifts for my father and a red envelope for my cousin, and shared my happiness with the two of them.
Then, he tasted a whole table of delicacies cooked by the robot Suning with the newly received smart kitchen utensils and recipes, which whetted his appetite and couldn't help but eat.
While wiping the water from his hair, Su Tan couldn't help but recall the Xiaoshi tea that his big cousin once sent, and now he misses it very much.
He raised the corners of his lips, calmed down, settled down, put his fingers on the keyboard with a concentrated expression, and then began to code the words with concentration.
"Era of Conquering the Earth [Quick Travel]" has published more than 400,000 words, and is approaching the release node of 500,000 words, so the plot of the novel should also arrange a big breaking point in due course.
So far, the protagonist of this novel has fast traveled through three worlds, namely modern times, the Tang Dynasty and the Republic of China, and each world has aroused great attention and heated discussions among readers.
Some people are attracted by the immersive life on the ancient earth he described, some people are attracted by the ups and downs and magnificent historical events, and there are voices who want to research whether the world described by Su Tan is true or not, and the lost planet of ancient civilization. How much fit there is.
Under such a huge heated discussion, Su Tan decided to add fuel to the fire, showing the world with the most Chinese characteristics in front of the readers. That is-
Xian Xia.
Immortality and immortality have been the goals that people of all dynasties and generations have longed for since ancient times. Countless myths and novels have been derived from this. Even in Huaxia's online novels since 2000, Xianxia has always been a popular subject for a long time.
The prehistoric style, the mortal style, the cultivation style, the classical fairy tale style... Countless novel genres have sprung up.
And for interstellar people, such a wild imagination that completely breaks their inherent concepts will trigger huge heated discussions and comments.
Su Tan is sure that once the world of Xianxia comes out, it will firmly attract all the curiosity and amazement of the readers.
The story he was going to write was about an ordinary young man who traveled from the stars, and by chance, he was accepted by an immortal as an outer disciple, and a vast and magnificent world of cultivating immortals slowly unfolded in front of him.
The idea in Su Tan's mind has already taken shape, and he organized it into an outline. At this time, he writes in detail according to the context and main line of the outline, which feels extremely smooth.
The ten fingers tapped on the keyboard quickly like clouds and flowing water, and the plots of the novel flowed out from the fingertips one after another, and landed on the computer screen.
"In the second year of Hongli, Qingyun Mountain in Jingzhou.
Cheng Juan opened his eyes and woke up, only to find himself squeezed into a small carriage. The dilapidated and small carriages were crowded head to head, with more than a dozen children squeezed in, and each other's breath was filled with damp and hot air, mixed with the smell of livestock straw, which was not very pleasant.
Cheng Juan was in a daze when the carriage stopped suddenly and the curtain was lifted.
'Albatron Gate has arrived! get out of the car! '
Under the sound of urging, a car of children was hurriedly driven out of the car, only to see—
A vast and steep mountain range suddenly appeared in front of everyone's eyes, covering an area of dozens of miles. Surrounded by more than a dozen large and small mountain peaks, a large peak in the center stands like a moon surrounded by stars, and a precipitous, towering and endless stone ladder extends from their feet to the depths of Yunfeng.
All the children were shocked by this vast and magnificent scene. What they didn't expect was that in the blue sky of the distant peak, a fairy in white flew over with a flying sword—"
As soon as this chapter of the novel was released, the comment section under the article immediately exploded.
"North Pole Meow: Meow Meow Meow? What is Immortal Cultivation?!! I, why do I feel that my brain is not enough?"
"Gatling who rose up: Is there still such an operation??? It's inexplicable!"
"Ruan Meng Deep Dolphin: The author, please explain in detail! What exactly is cultivating immortals? Is it the same as our mech training? How can a person ride a thin sword and fly in mid-air without using fuel? It does not conform to the principles of mechanics Ah! And how can immortals live to be five hundred years old? Ask for a method! I want to learn too!"
…
Under this chapter, the comments suddenly increased five times than usual, and even some authors who usually don't show their faces and like to dive to read articles have been blasted out one after another, asking one question after another in surprise.
Regardless of whether the readers like the world of cultivating immortals or not, the attention has been properly held.
Su Tan smiled lightly as he swiped through the comments, watching readers' curiosity fall into the world of cultivating immortals, and they were given such fantastic worlds as flying to the sky without fuel, taking pills for immortality, borrowing another five hundred years from the sky, and so on. Grabbing his heart completely, he couldn't help but smile.
But when he suddenly came across a comment buried in many comments, his eyes stopped suddenly.
"Crap me out: Hehe, it's too fake. In order to attract people's attention, the author didn't even need the lower limit, and wrote such a fake world. Do you dare to pat your chest and say that the ancient earth really had this era? "
Su Tan's eyes sank.
Cultivating immortals has always been a legend in China with a long history, from Qin Shihuang's five hundred virgins seeking immortality, to the prosperity of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism in different dynasties, to the Shaolin, Wudang, Qingcheng, Emei and other sects that have been handed down.
Although all these cannot directly prove the existence of cultivating immortals, it is undeniable that such claims have a long history and have a profound historical origin and cultural foundation.
And as an out-and-out Chinese, Su Tan has an infinite sense of intimacy with Xianxia novels.
This was established from the classics of mountains and seas he read when he was young, and the comic strips of strange novels that he read, and it was in his eyes that he peeped under the desk in middle school. Can you easily deny Xianxia
Su Tan took a deep breath, looking at the questioning and mocking post, he had already received a lot of follow-up posts with praise and approval, and a tall building was built.
He thought about it, and typed a line of words firmly and forcefully in the reply to the post—
"You figured it out :-D"
Immediately, the comment area was silent for a few seconds, and then a large number of comments suddenly erupted.
Especially the person who questioned and ridiculed him earlier returned even more quickly at this time.
"Scumbags come to blow me up: Heck, admit it! You finally admit what rubbish you wrote!"
Su Tan raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect that the other party would make an inch of progress, from the comments to the level of personal attacks, it can be seen that the other party is not a simple reader.
After confirming that this "little scumbag" was not a friendly army, Su Tan calmed down, and calmly replied: "Well, then you hit me [a cute smile]?"
Seeing this cute counterattack, "Little Scumbag" was immediately trembling with anger, and angrily quarreled with him in the comment room.
"Scumbag, come and blast me: If you are in front of me, I will beat you to death! Trash!!"
This time, Su Tan did not continue to argue with him, he simply ignored the provocative and insulting comments, and posted a new post, explaining to readers: "Cultivation of immortality has existed in ancient times, and it is now The civilization of ancient China runs through from the beginning to the end. The ancients once said in a poem: Bodhi does not have a tree, and a mirror is not a stand. There is nothing in the first place, where is the dust. Let’s encourage everyone.”
Under this comment, supportive readers have upvoted it one after another.
"Ruan Meng Deep Dolphin: Great, we all understand, always support, no matter what you write, I like it!"
"North Pole Meow: The landlord next door is too conceited, why should he say no? Show evidence!"
"Night Rose: Looks good, add more!"
…
Su Tan chuckled, and replied in unison, "Thank you for your understanding, I hope that the comments will be harmonious, and don't be serious. If you like it, you can spread more flowers, if you don't like it—"
He raised his eyebrows in distress, and wrote with a smile: "Then I can't help it. See you next time if you are destined."
All of a sudden, there was joy in the comments.
"Ruan Meng Shen Dolphin: Da Da, do you want to be so cowardly? I thought you would say that you didn't like it, so you would throw bricks and beat people [laughing and crying]!"
"North Pole Meow: 'I can't help it'. Hahahaha, I feel like I see a very distressed and helpless look in front of me."
"Night Rose: Domineering! People who don't like
— no dicks :). "
…
Looking at the comments, Su Tan couldn't help but smile. He thought, the reader is so cute, do you want to add more
While thinking about it, suddenly, a deep-water torpedo appeared in the comments of the novel.
"Smoke Scar: I like it."
Su Tan's gaze paused, and the corners of her lips raised when she saw this straightforward encouragement.
However-
"Smoke Scar: I like it!"
"Smoke Scar: I like it!!"
"Smoke Scar: I like it!!!"
…
"Smoke Scar: I like it enough."
Su Tan's heart skipped a beat.
