Chapter 13: The Novel of the World
After searching for a few keywords at random, Lin Mu opened the online novel station of this world.
This novel station, like the previous life, is also called Dianniang, and even the classification of various novels is mostly the same.
The only difference is that there are no "fantasy" and "Xianxia" and other fantasy novels in the category.
Martial arts novels, in online novels, still occupy a large proportion.
On the monthly ticket list, currently leading with more than 7,000 votes, is a novella martial arts novel called "Seven Spells of the Wind and Wild", and the author is named "Heshuo".
Lin Mu swept it, the book is only more than 100,000 words just now, and it is in the development of the plot, but the comments in the comment area are very good, and the number of people who reward is enough, and the first fan value has reached more than four million points, which is converted into soft sister coins, which is enough for 40,000 yuan.
At present, his reputation is not able to buy those novels, but Lin Mu still registered an author number and preemptively registered the ID of "One Page Book".
After reading it for a while, Lin Mu opened several other online novel stations.
The classification inside is the same as that of Dianniang, but on the page, it is not as concise as Dianniang.
Obviously, the entire novel industry has entered a relatively stable creative period, and new types of novels have not yet appeared.
After reading the online novel station, Lin Mu learned about the situation of the physical novel again.
Physical novels, in this world, are proof of the quality of novels, even on the industry's leading websites like Dianniang, there are only a few dozen authors who can publish their own online texts into implementation books.
And it's the kind of physical sales that lags behind.
The only exception is the writer He Shuo, who topped the monthly ticket list, and his physical book "Beauty Cooks in a Pot", ranked in the top ten in terms of physical book sales, with sales of about 600,000 copies in half a year.
It's also his best-selling novel.
……
After looking at it for a while, Lin Mu searched for some other information.
The answer surprised him a little.
For example, the cultural development in this world is not strong, although similar to "The Seven Spells of the Wind and Wild", the protagonist has the ability to be non-human and can have some special energy, but there is still no "internal force" that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
In this way, martial arts novels have great limitations, and the focus of description is on human affection, love and hate, and character conflicts.
The focus is so small, resulting in martial arts novels not having their own unique characteristics, and after the quality falls, the decline of its literary status is completely conceivable.
For example, martial arts novels also have a common name, called "Dabuzishu" because of their large number of pages.
Most authors can only attract attention through fragrant plots, and in the eyes of people, they are something between vulgarity and literature.
In addition, without martial arts novels, which are the most popular literary form among Chinese people, the local pop culture in China will be greatly overshadowed, so that vampires and superpower comics in Europe and the United States, soap operas and assassin ninja culture in Japan and South Korea have greatly influenced domestic popular elements.
Lin Mu saw that this was the case, just when he looked at the webpage, even the games recommended on the webpage were what kind of soldiers of the United States, Ninja Creed or something.
"Huh, there's a long way to go! There are so many excellent and wonderful novels, it's a pity that I only remember them!"
Lin Mu rubbed the corners of his eyebrows, and before he knew it, it was already dark outside the window, and his stomach was a little hungry.
A burst of fish fragrance came, Lin Mu's nose moved, opened the door of the room, and there were already three or four side dishes in the living room, and Su Taohua was holding a pot of fish soup on it.
"Hehe, today is the first day you lived, don't say that the beautiful landlady treats you badly, come and eat!" Hearing Lin Mu open the door, Su Taohua smiled casually.
Lin Mu is also not polite, fish soup has always been his favorite, and this meal is full of stomach.
Chatting at the dinner table, Lin Mu also learned some things about Su Taohua, her parents are working in other places, after finishing school, she simply returned to her hometown and applied for a position as an English teacher in a high school, and she was happy and relaxed on weekdays.
And Lin Mu also talked about the situation in his own family.
Parents work outside, there is a younger brother Lin Ye at home, the younger sister Lin Lin is in the fifth grade of primary school, and is taken care of by her grandfather, which is the most ordinary left-behind child here.
Speaking of these situations with Su Taohua, Lin Mu also suddenly remembered that in the past two months, he had been so focused on writing, making money, and reading books that he had forgotten to go back to take a look.
What's more important is one thing that Lin Mu has never realized, the parents in the previous life are exactly the same as the parents in this life!
Could it be that I'm not crossing at all, but ......
Is this the other world's me?
"Forget it, I'm running out of money now, wait until I earn the manuscript fee next month, and then buy some things and go home!"
……
After eating, it was only more than seven o'clock, and after Lin Mu helped clean up the dishes and chopsticks, he went to the rooftop to skillfully intercept Kune Do.
Wang Peng's incident made him realize the danger, he has no foundation at all now, and when facing danger, he can only rely on his own fists.
The other party can't leave a chance to win for himself every time!
On the rooftop, Lin Mu wrapped a quilt around a stone pillar, which seemed to be used to build a clothesline, and now Lin Mu wrapped a quilt and used it as a sandbag.
……
After taking the letter from "Martial Arts Story", Lin Mu was about to return to his seat, but saw the squad leader Cui Tingting, with a surprised look, and handed him a slightly thinner envelope with the logo of "City Education Newspaper" on it.
"I didn't expect Lin Mu to be so powerful now, now not only has he published a novel in "Martial Arts Story", but even the city education newspaper has been ......" Cui Tingting thought to herself, and couldn't help but flash a trace of envy in her heart.
Girls always pay more attention to talent than men, and the city education newspaper, although it is a newspaper in the system, is still an honor that represents cultural identity for ordinary students like her.
Lin Mu thanked him, returned to his seat, and opened the envelope.
The first thing I saw was the remittance slip.
"Huh, it's only five hundred?"
Lin Mu frowned, but when he saw the reply, he understood a little more.
The first section of my own, mainly to introduce the background of the story, is not too many words, a few checkered drawings, and also a portrait of a single animal, in order to make it easier to read.
The manuscript fee of the newspaper is much less than that of the magazine, and in a newspaper like the Municipal Education Newspaper, it is basically 50 yuan, which is considered high.
Putting the remittance slip into his wallet, Lin Mu opened the newspaper again.
The newspaper is an eight-page sheet, and there is no doubt that the front page has nothing to do with Lin Mu, it is a group of white-shirted leaders who guide the country.
Pouting, Lin Mu flipped through the content below.
"Before I start writing, I have a routine introduction to the environment, which is a bit tricky...... At a certain time, in a certain universe, on a certain planet, there was a certain big country, and because the name was too loud, it would not be said.
This big country has a very long history, anyway, people know that it has been unique for thousands of years, not only has it cultivated a super shell, but also amphibious, meat and vegetarian are not taboo, it can be attacked and defended, and it is easy to play. The image point is that it is a turtle, and the spirit of the king is leaking, right? The countries of all sizes mixed in the same world, if they can be apprentices to the turtle, they will be shot by the envious eyes of the surroundings.
