RBCT Chapter 39 The Founder of Fantasy Novels
Chapter 39 The Founder of Fantasy Novels
The official team behind the novel "The End" acted quickly.
A week after the event ended, a fantasy writing contest was launched.
The rewards were also exceptionally generous.
The first-place winner of the essay contest will receive a direct allocation of resources worth tens of millions of yuan and a prize of 500,000 yuan.
The top ten entries will receive prizes, but the difference is significant compared to the massive resources allocated to the first-place winner.
...
As usual, after lunch, Fan Xiaochen returned to his dormitory, lay on his bed, picked up his phone, opened the Endpoint Novel App, and started reading the latest chapter of "Covering the Sky" with great enjoyment.
As he read, he kept exclaiming, "It still has to be the old rascal Zhuifeng! So much content, 20,000 to 30,000 words a day, and occasionally a super update! He's practically a god!"
Since its release, Xu An has been updating very frequently.
Updating 20,000 to 30,000 words daily is just routine.
"Covering the Sky" has also successfully entered its later stages.
The latest chapter is about Ye Fan's Sacred Body reaching its peak.
"I am the Heavenly Emperor, and I shall slay all enemies in this world!"
"Holy crap!"
"Ye Fan is so damn cool! He's so incredibly handsome!"
"Old thief Chasing Wind, you're practically my god!"
Fan Xiaochen got excited and tried to jump up like a carp, but ended up wriggling around on the bed like a fish that had just come ashore.
"It was so difficult, so incredibly difficult!"
"In the post-ancient era, our human race has finally produced another Emperor-level warrior!"
After reading the latest chapter, there was nothing more to read. Fan Xiaochen felt as if he were being bitten by thousands of ants, and his whole body felt extremely uncomfortable.
"Old rascal, please, please, please update with just one more chapter!"
He left a commentary at the end of the chapter.
I clicked into the homepage of [Chasing the Wind].
Suddenly, he noticed that the homepage description had changed.
The pioneer of fantasy novels, he proposed a fantasy theory that is based on an alternate world, integrates traditional Eastern fantasy elements, does not strictly adhere to reality, and fully unleashes imagination, thus creating the fantasy genre for the first time.
"Holy crap!"
Fan Xiaochen's eyes widened. "Damn, that old thief, Chasing Wind! He's become the founder of a new sect!"
With a heart full of excitement and trembling hands, he took a screenshot and ran to the Sky Forum to publish his latest discovery.
As soon as the fantasy writing contest was launched, countless new and old authors flocked in. In just one week, the number of fantasy books, which originally only had one book, "Covering the Sky," increased by more than a thousand in the blink of an eye.
Xu An's status as the founder of the fantasy genre has been recognized by countless authors.
When Xu An found out, he just smiled. In the end, he was just picking up scraps from another world.
He returned to Yunshan Town and resumed his previous leisurely life.
His daily update volume is still increasing; he wants to finish it quickly, write another book, and strive to complete his current role's tasks as soon as possible.
Before I made money, all I thought about was making money.
Now that he has earned enough money to achieve financial freedom, he is starting to look forward to his next identity.
Of course, in essence, Xu An's pursuit is still to become stronger and more powerful.
He was able to achieve financial freedom entirely thanks to the identity granted to him by the "system".
His anticipation of his next identity is essentially a pursuit of upward mobility.
During the period when Xu An accelerated his updates, the fantasy genre flourished.
One of the incidents involved plagiarism.
Many readers have pointed out that a fantasy novel on the new book list is a complete clone of "Covering the Sky," with almost identical plots, only the name has been changed, and even some chapter titles are exactly the same.
This was met with resistance from many readers.
After the incident escalated, the authorities acted swiftly, removing the content from the platform.
An announcement was issued.
Drawing inspiration from others' excellent works is commendable, but plagiarism will never be tolerated.
Because many fans of "Covering the Sky" tagged Xu An, he also commented briefly.
In short, he supports learning from other people's excellent works. Only by emulating excellent works can one's own work become better. However, learning from others is absolutely not the same as plagiarism.
He doesn't mind others borrowing various settings from "Covering the Sky." He would be honored if it could help other authors, but he hopes that while borrowing from it, everyone can add their own elements.
The setting and writing style can be similar, but they cannot be completely identical in appearance, content, and structure.
The days passed by.
The Spring Festival is also approaching.
Early in the morning, Xu's mother called Xu An and his son to go out with her to buy New Year's goods.
Pork, duck, chicken, lamb, beef, fish...
I'm buying all kinds of meat.
When Xu An was a child, the New Year was the time he looked forward to the most.
Not only do they get new clothes, but they also receive lucky money and get to set off fireworks.
But as he's gotten older, he's long since lost that initial anticipation and joy for the Lunar New Year.
Some say that the more developed a society is, the weaker family ties become.
Xu An disagreed.
However, as times change and people get older, the festive atmosphere of the New Year is indeed fading.
Nowadays, people sitting together barely have anything to say to each other; they're all looking down at their phones.
Xu An often thinks that it was more fun to run around with his friends when he was a child and there were no cell phones.
The advent of mobile phones has both brought people closer together and increased the distance between them.
"An'an, your second aunt just called. Her car broke down on the way. Can you drive over and pick them up?" Xu's mother was busy in the kitchen.
For the New Year's Eve reunion dinner, the entire Xu family will come back.
There were three siblings in Xu's father's family.
Xu's father was the eldest brother, and he had two younger sisters who had married out of the family.
Xu An's grandparents were taken to their place by his second aunt a long time ago.
"I understand!"
Xu An picked up his car keys and went downstairs.
I called my second aunt on the way to ask where they were.
After receiving the location from his second aunt, Xu An stepped on the gas and headed towards the location indicated by the navigation.
-
"Ugh, this is so annoying, this piece of junk car." A young girl stood by the roadside, looking annoyed.
There was also a middle-aged couple and an elderly couple nearby.
The middle-aged woman spoke up: "Chu Niannian, don't get angry at me there. Your brother has already driven here to pick us up. He'll be there in a bit."
Chu Niannian turned her head away, snorted, squatted down, and took out her phone to play by herself.
"Xu Cui, don't be mean to Niannian. It's the car's fault anyway, what does it have to do with Niannian?" the old lady said, frowning.
"Hey, Mom, I'm disciplining the child right now. I'm telling you not to spoil her so much. Look at her now, she has the worst temper of anyone else. It's all because you spoiled her," Xu Cui said with dissatisfaction.
"It's my own granddaughter, if I don't spoil her, who will?" the old lady said, stamping her foot.
Xu Cui had no choice but to look to her father for help.
To everyone's surprise, the old man turned his head away, pretending not to see, and took out a cigarette, calling his son-in-law Chu Lang to go to the side to smoke.
"Sigh." Xu Cui sighed, feeling very tired.
My daughter was spoiled since she was a child, and she has a somewhat willful personality.
The elderly father could never stand up for himself in front of the mother.
As for her husband, he always acts as a peacemaker whenever anything comes up.
