Chapter 7: A Chinese Ghost Story

The "Strange Tales of Liaozhai" essay contest held by the origin novel network, because it is a short story-based competition, the competition period is only one month, and more than half of it has passed so far, and there are only ten days left, during which countless new authors have already participated in the competition, uploading and serializing their works on the website, and even the competition on the evaluation list has entered the white-hot stage, Bai Yu wants to enter at this time, and get at least the top ten in the final evaluation, which can be said to be extremely difficult.

There are no rules for the evaluation of the newcomer essay contest, which is completely dependent on the data of the work, and the clicks, collections, recommendations, rewards, comments and completeness of the works are comprehensively considered, and the evaluation begins on the day the competition begins.

In this way, those entries that upload serialization earlier will inevitably have an advantage, and many entries have already thrown those behind them eight streets.

At this time, Bai Yu re-entered, the disadvantage was already very obvious, if you want to get good results, the only way is to speak with your works, create an amazing masterpiece, and form a complete explosion crushing for the rest of the entries.

"It's not easy to create a novel that crushes the rest of the entries!" Bai Yu pondered, this essay competition can't go through the public stream, and it is very difficult for him to do it alone.

If you want to get a good ranking in the competition, the most important thing is the entry, and after Bai Yu calmed down, he began to conceive his own entry.

It's just that for a while, Bai Yu couldn't think of any good ideas, so he decided to take a look at the rest of the entries first, know himself and his opponent, and understand the situation of the rest of the entries in the competition.

Thinking of this, Bai Yu clicked on the webpage and entered the evaluation list interface specially opened by the website for the "Strange Tales from Liaozhai" essay contest.

Looking at this, Bai Yu was really a little surprised, because some of the works at the top of the evaluation list were quite good, and some were even more popular than the works created by some star authors.

But after a little thought, Bai Yu understood.

Such an event as the essay collection of "Strange Tales from Liaozhai", the attention of the majority of readers is extremely high, it can be said that Dongxia Huazhou is the attention of the whole network, as long as the book is good, many readers are more willing to support such a newcomer's work, and it is not surprising that the results are good.

Thinking about this, Bai Yu no longer paid attention to the data results of these works, but clicked on some of them and looked at them seriously.

After more than two hours, Bai Yu closed the pages.

By reading some of the entries just now, Bai Yu found that most of these entries are some short and medium essay works, because the competition stipulates that all entries must be completed within one month before the evaluation is effective, so these entries that Bai Yu saw are basically not many words, according to the ordinary code word rules, these works should be around 100,000 words after the end.

Of course, this is not absolute, some talented authors, their own literary atmosphere is enough to support a large number of their daily creations, then the number of words in their works will be more, and some works are late, the number of words will be less, there are about 100,000 words, tens of thousands of words, or even only about 10,000 words, according to the classification of online articles, they belong to short works.

Secondly, Bai Yu went to see a lot of comments in the comments of the event, and one of them was that the majority of readers agreed that in order to get the top ten in the "Strange Tales of Liaozhai" essay, the grade of his works must at least reach the level of "spiritual book", and the best works that can become champions should not be lower than the grade of "law book" or even "treasure book".

"Spiritual Books, Dharma Books, Treasure Books?"

Bai Yu knew through memory that after the works of this world were created by the author, the original novel would be formed in the divine domain, and the true book was divided into eight levels, namely: mortal book, spiritual book, law book, treasure book, heavenly book, Taoist book, divine book, and holy book.

Among these true novels, except for the most ordinary books, the original novels of other levels have their own different uses, which is one of the manifestations of the author's strength.

In previous competitions such as "Strange Tales from Liaozhai", all the champions were undoubtedly the works of the lowest 'law book', and even in a newcomer essay contest more than ten years ago, the winning work "Divine Ancestor" even reached the level of 'treasure book'.

Creating such a work will not only enable the author to get a good ranking in the competition, but also help the author accumulate fame in the initial stage, laying a solid foundation for the future online literature road.

After understanding these messages, Bai Yu had an understanding in his heart.

A rookie author, the first part is very important, equivalent to Daoji, not only determines the author's starting point, but also has an abnormal help for the author to accumulate popularity and fans, in the words of Bai Yu's previous life, that is, don't lose at the starting line of life.

"It seems that I still have to do my best to participate in this competition!" Bai Yu's eyes flashed with wisdom, and he began to calm down, trying his best to conceive the work he was about to participate in.

In Bai Yu's opinion, the works that can get a good ranking in the essay competition must be extremely suitable for the holy book "Strange Tales from Liao Zhai", but Bai Yu doesn't know much about the fantasy version of "Strange Tales from Liao Zhai", and I don't know if there is any difference from the normal version of "Strange Tales from Liao Zhai".

Thinking of this, Bai Yu searched out the holy book "Strange Tales from Liaozhai" and read it briefly.

But it didn't take long for Bai Yu to be a little surprised.

It stands to reason that there should be more than 490 chapters in the whole book of "Strange Tales from Liao Zhai", nearly 500 articles, each with a unit, which is equivalent to a chapter of other novels, but Bai Yu found that the number of "Strange Tales from Liao Zhai" in this world is far from reaching this number, only less than 400 articles.

"Huh, what about the others?" Bai Yu was surprised, and a light flashed through his mind.

Bai Yu felt that his luck had come, since there were less than 400 "Strange Tales from Liaozhai" in this world, where did the number of articles that should have existed go? Did it disappear? What if I created the number of articles that should have existed?

Bai Yu's heart fluttered, and he quickly read the table of contents of "Strange Tales from Liaozhai", looking for the missing articles.

After a few breaths, Bai Yu suddenly showed ecstasy, because he saw that on the table of contents, there were some articles that should have been there, and there were many original famous articles through the ages, such as "A Chinese Ghost Story"!

Bai Yu quickly locked his eyes on this article, as a famous article that has been passed down through the ages, "A Chinese Ghost Story" is not on "Strange Tales from Liaozhai".

"It's developed!" Almost instantly, Bai Yu decided what he wanted to participate in.

Just wrote "A Chinese Ghost Story".
