Chapter 43: A New Book Search

Lin Nan frowned slightly and looked at the middle-aged man about forty years old sitting opposite him, as if he was thinking about something, and only said after a long time: "You mean you want me to write another novel?" ”

Xie Simiao nodded very seriously, the reason why he wanted to see Lin Nan through Lan Li was to get a new book from Lin Nan.

Although there is already a "Seeking Immortals" recommended by Lin Nan, for the new magazine "Fantasy Journal", the manuscript is still lacking, not only is the quantity not sufficient, but also the quality does not achieve the expected effect because of the small quantity.

If the first issue had been released in this way, the contents of the magazine would have been likely to disappoint readers and ruin the brand of Fantasy, which had just been in operation.

But quality improvement doesn't happen overnight, especially now that the number of manuscripts is severely underwhelmed, and there are so few works available for screening.

Therefore, in order to improve the overall level of the upcoming "Fantasy Journal", the only feasible way Xie Simiao thought of was to ask Nanshan Yi, the pioneer of fantasy literature, for a brand new novel.

According to the popularity of Lin Nan's pen name Nanshan Yi, coupled with his large number of fans and book friends, if "Fantasy Journal" can publish Lin Nan's new book, then it can completely make up for the shortcomings in other aspects, I believe that even if it is just for Nanshan Yi's new book, there will be many people to buy "Fantasy Journal".

"But I don't want to write a new book recently...... "Lin Nan has always been very planned to do things, and in his original plan, he would not write a book before the college entrance examination, and he would have to deal with the college entrance examination while resting, so he could only refuse Xie Simiao.

Lin Nan's reaction Xie Simiao naturally guessed it a long time ago, Lan Li had already told him before he decided to come to Lin Nan, but there was no way to come to Lin Nan, if it wasn't for the time when it was necessary, Xie Simiao would not pull down his face and beg for someone who was dozens of years younger than him.

Although Lin Nan refused, Xie Simiao did not give up, but continued to persuade: "Now the magazine "Fantasy" is facing a severe test, and there are big problems in the quantity and quality of manuscripts......

From Lin Nan's meager sharing of fantasy literature writing skills and precautions, and recommending excellent works, Xie Simiao can see that Lin Nan is very concerned about the new literary classification he created, so now he is directly using the development of fantasy literature to persuade Lin Nan.

Sure enough, Lin Nan's brows furrowed after hearing Xie Simiao say this, he knew that what Xie Simiao said was not wrong, if the first issue of "Fantasy Journal" could not satisfy readers, although the result would not be as serious as Xie Simiao said, but the development of fantasy literature would definitely stagnate for a long time, and his previous efforts would be completely in vain.

This made Lin Nan have to think about it carefully, so he could only sigh and say to Xie Simiao: "Editor-in-chief Xie, let me think about it carefully, and give you an answer tomorrow!" ”

……

Lying on the bed, Lin Nan looked at the ceiling, but his mind was constantly thinking about what suitable novel could be written.

The reason why he was reluctant to write novels before was partly because he didn't have enough time, and partly because there really wasn't a good bibliography to choose from, and now it was clear that the time had to come.

In fact, when he was separated from Xie Simiao, Lin Nan had already decided to write a novel for the sake of the emerging fantasy literature.

The reason why he wanted to spend one night was not really thinking about whether to write or not, but thinking about what to write.

There are countless fantasy literary masterpieces in the past life, but most of them are not suitable for the current situation in this world.

The fantasy literature of this world has just started, and most of the readers' appreciation level has stayed at this stage.

Lin Nan sifted through the hundreds of fantasy literary masterpieces in his mind according to the conditions, and finally decided how many he wanted to write!

After making a decision, Lin Nan rolled over and got up from the bed, sat down in front of the computer, and began to type characters on the keyboard.

"In the legendary era of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, with the death of the world's recognized leader Shennong, the five ethnic groups of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth began to move. It was in this turbulent wilderness that a young man was born and began a thrilling legendary journey by chance......"

Shennong, Tuoba Ye, Chi You, Concubine Yu, Gu Shooting Fairy, Emperors of the World, Ten Gods of the Great Wilderness, Lin Nan entered the extremely familiar characters and plots in his memory into the computer word by word through the search engine.

This night, Lin Nan stayed awake all night, as if he was enchanted and entered the words in his mind into the computer in front of him, until seven o'clock in the morning, Lin Nan felt a little tired, and fell asleep directly on the bed.

After a night of hard work, he was already very tired, and the results of his hard work all night were stored on his computer desktop, which was a document called "Sou Shen Ji"!

Lin Nan slept directly until noon, took out his mobile phone and saw that there were seven or eight missed calls, all of which were from Xie Simiao, and Xie Simiao was already impatient to think about it.

So Lin Nan immediately called Xie Simiao back and agreed to Xie Simiao's request to write a new fantasy novel for "Fantasy".

Xie Simiao, who got Lin Nan's promise, returned to Haidu happily at the moment, but Lin Nan could only sigh secretly, he had found a trouble for himself.

After washing up and eating something, Lin Nan first called his homeroom teacher to make up for the leave, and then returned to the room to continue writing "Sou Shen Ji".

"Sou Shen Ji" can be said to be a landmark work in the time and space of Lin Nan's previous life, and it is also very suitable for the current situation of fantasy literature in this time and space, so in the end, Lin Nan chose "Sou Shen Ji" as his third novel in this world.

Of course, there are still some flaws in "Sou Shen Ji", although the flaws are not hidden, but if these flaws can be removed, then it is naturally excellent, such as the "magic" mentioned in the original book, if it is replaced with words such as "fairy law" and "Taoism", it will obviously be more in line with the oriental fantasy culture.

Of course, there are still some problems like this, and Lin Nan will make some changes at the same time as writing on these issues, so that the only flaw in this work will also be erased.
