Chapter 27: Novel Contestation
These days, in addition to preparing for the experimental center, Deng Shuai is always paying attention to the Nebula Cup novel of the R17 galaxy to participate in the competition, which is a big matter related to his money bag. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Previously, when Deng Shuai handed over "Star Odyssey" and "Time and Space Traveler" to the Queen Ant, he was busy with the release of T236 and didn't have much time to communicate.
However, Deng Shuai remembered that the queen ant said to herself at that time that because the selection of this award is both commercial and literary, so you should not have too much expectations for the award, as long as you can make the novel famous in the process of participating in the competition, which is conducive to future sales, then it will be a success.
There is a reason why the queen ant said this, because all the works participating in the selection must first go through a round of reader voting, which has a month to go. Only the top 100 works on the readers' voting list will be shortlisted for the final competition, and the final ranking will be determined by the judges.
So here's the problem, Deng Shuai's submissions were sent almost on the eve of the readers' voting. So in just one month, how many readers will be willing to pay to download and read his novels and vote for him?
Other authors have been publishing books for four or five years, and they have a large number of die-hard readers from the beginning, and it is very difficult for a new book to fight its way through it.
The above reasons also cause the queen ant to temporarily not pay enough attention to the two books "Star Odyssey" and "Time Traveler", and has no hope of winning awards, she values the long-term interests of sales and publishing, and she is still busy with various selection activities.
Although the queen ant doesn't pay attention to it for the time being, she still recommends 2 books on her personal webpage similar to our Weibo.
""A Star Odyssey" and "Time Traveler", two completely different novels from Blue Star, are worth having."
As King Kolafit, the great galactic trader, the queen ant has a high reputation throughout the galaxy, and there are hundreds of thousands of fans who follow her, and as soon as her Weibo is refreshed, some people go to the participating novels to find books according to their names.
Kantaki from R88 is one of the guardians of an interstellar transport fleet, the interstellar transport voyage is long, except for encountering interstellar pirates to fight, he is bored and bored most of the time, if you can't find yourself some fun, the boring interstellar life will make everyone crazy.
Kantaki passes the time by reading all kinds of novels, and as an interstellar combatant, science fiction is certainly his true love.
"Kantaqui, the transport fleet is almost on the planet R86, we will replenish some supplies there, will we make a short stop, the females there are gentle and beautiful, do you want to have fun with us?" A group of guards with horns on their heads passed by Kantaki and extended an invitation to him.
"Hehe, don't seduce this kid, he hasn't even grown horns on his head, he's not an adult yet, if he dares to go, his dad will definitely beat his ass."
"Poor Kantaki, I can only hide in the spaceship and read novels."
"I really don't know why his father is so strict, I have been there I don't know how many times when I was his age."
"So you're still a poor bastard."
The group of guards laughed and drifted away, leaving Kantaki alone.
However, Kantaki didn't feel lonely, he counted the days, this was the day when the Nebula Cup was held, just in time to take advantage of the fleet's stay in the port to download more novels, you must know that the cost of downloading during the voyage was astronomical, he didn't dare to connect to the Internet casually.
As the fleet docked at the port, Kantaki also took out his own electronic communication equipment, and he skillfully connected to the R86 port network, entered the Nebula Cup website, and found the novel competition area, which was presented in front of his eyes one by one.
However, Kantaki was disappointed that he had already read most of the works in it, and the entries were from within six years, many of which were bestsellers, and he was no stranger to it as a lover of novels.
There is also a work discussion area in each novel, and he clicks into a novel he once read, "The Adventures of Mercury", and there are people in the discussion area who are asking for spoilers.
"May I ask if the little sea people have a big revenge in the end?"
"You don't have to look at it to guess the ending, does the author dare to let Xiaohairen have no revenge? If so, I'll send him an energy gun. ”
"It's because of you violent readers that the author writes worse and worse."
"You can do it, how do you say you should write it?"
"This book is the best novel I've read this year, everyone go and vote for the author to help the author be shortlisted for the Nebula Cup."
"Well, let's go to the polls!"
Kantaki smiled slightly when he saw this, "The Adventures of Mercury" is not bad, but for an old bookworm like me, it is not amazing enough, in terms of my reading of tens of millions of books, if I am asked to write, it is estimated that I can write it, and it is not enough for me to cast a precious vote.
Kantaki thought a little smugly, casually closed "The Adventures of Mercury", and read the introduction of a few other books, as long as he hadn't read it, this kid clicked to download, download is to buy, anyway, he has this hobby, and he is not afraid of spending money.
"Wandering in the stars? This book is so strange, and the number of downloads is so small, has it just come out? Kantaki clicked in and took a look, first stunned, and then with a little surprise on his face, it was actually recommended by Queen Kolafit, and the quality should be guaranteed.
The author is Blue Star's I eat octopus.,It's a strange name.,I haven't heard of it.,But he wasn't surprised either.,The whole galaxy.,There are all kinds of strange planets.,Don't say you haven't heard of it.,Even if there are hundreds of names.,So the official name of the R galaxy alliance is R+ number.,So you won't be mistaken.。
Kantaki habitually pulled down, first look at the comment area, the number of downloads is very small, but the comment area is very lively, Kantaki is a little excited, indicating that this book has something to see.
"Thank you for my Wang's recommendation, the first divine book of this year in the novel area has come out, don't explain! See for yourself. ”
"Brain-dead, at first glance, it's Ant-Man, what else will you do besides kneeling and licking your queen."
"Don't say that, Corafit's basic ability to appreciate is still there, but it's a pity that their pitifully small brain capacity doesn't have enough creativity, so they can only appreciate it."
"I'm going, I just downloaded it and read it roughly, I don't blow it or black, the name of this year's first divine book can't run, don't say much, read it for the second time right away."
"Is there really such a god upstairs?"
"Vote, you have to vote, it's a complete shame that such a book is ranked outside the 800 places."
"Damn, what is this book about? There is only one sentence in the introduction: Martin and his friends have a thrilling and exciting interstellar journey. ”
……
Seeing this, Kantaki had been aroused by these people's enthusiasm for reading, and he pulled it down, and clicked to download the novel without even reading the price.
As soon as he finished downloading it, Kantaki couldn't wait to read it.
