Chapter 6: A Chinese Ghost Story

Next to him, Yang Yuhuan was grabbing a bunch of Ziyan grapes and eating it, when he heard Bai Yu's muttering to himself, he said: "Oh! Lao Bai, you said the 'Liaozhai Essay' event! This is an event held on the website, it has been a while, why? You don't know?"

After that, he looked at Bai Yu suspiciously again, and really felt that his best friend might have been dropped.

"Hehe!" Bai Yu sneered: "Of course I know, master......"

This 'Liao Zhai Essay' event is an essay on the homepage of the website, Bai Yu hasn't had time to know yet, but now that he sees it, he suddenly clicked on the title with curiosity, entered the page, and read the content.

After more than ten minutes, Bai Yu closed the page, and a strange light began to flicker in his eyes.

The so-called 'Liaozhai Essay' is led by Dianniang Chinese Network and co-hosted by Liaozhai Shijia a kind of essay competition similar to promoting new authors, during the competition, as long as the new authors who have opened up the world of consciousness, derived the origin of the heavenly book, and lit the literary lamp, they can participate in the competition, create a short work similar to "Liaozhai Zhiwei", and participate in the essay competition.

When the competition ends, the top ten authors in the competition will be rewarded by Dianniang Chinese Network and Liaozhai Shijia, and if their works are recognized by the divine book "Liaozhai Zhiwei", they can get special rewards from the rules of heaven and earth.

"Chat about the essay?" Bai Yu pondered for a while, a light flashed in his eyes, he knew that this might be an opportunity for him to officially enter the fantasy version of the online literature circle.

"What?Lao Bai?Do you want to participate in this 'Liaozhai Essay' event?" Yang Yuhuan looked at Bai Yu's expression, and immediately knew Bai Yu's thoughts, so he leaned over and asked.

"Of course!" Bai Yu asked, pointing to the content of the consultation, "Fatty, don't you think this is an opportunity for me?"

"This ......" Yang Yuhuan pondered for a moment and said, "This is indeed an opportunity......

He thought of some details about the essay contest.

Generally speaking, when new authors create, they usually write novels with relatively simple world structures, relatively small patterns, and relatively low power systems, which are easier for authors who have just entered the online literary circle, while works like Xianxia and Fantasy have already involved relatively advanced power systems, which are by no means easy for ordinary newcomer authors to control, and it is easy to write down.

Moreover, such escalating cultivation novels often need to consume more popular writing, and the new author has just become the author, and the popularity is not obvious, and choosing a difficult type of creation at the beginning can easily lead to the exhaustion of popularity, the extinguishing of the literary light, and the dissipation of the original heavenly book.

Therefore, unless there is that kind of peerless talent Gaidai demon talent, ordinary people will not create this kind of upgraded cultivation type novel in the first place.

However, this 'Liao Zhai Essay Contest', like other competitions on the website, is one of the essay competitions that exist under the rules of heaven and earth on major websites, and is held separately or jointly with the family every few years or decades, which is one of the ways for major fiction websites to discover new authors.

In the process of this competition, all participating authors, under the blessing of the rules of heaven and earth, can write novels with the same popularity far more words than at other times, which greatly increases the success rate of authors' creative works.

"So...... Lao Bai, you have decided, do you want to focus on the Xianxia Sacred Dao first?"

"Hmm!" Bai Yu nodded and whispered, "Chat about the essay? I must rise in this essay contest." ”

Bai Yu knows that in the fantasy version of the online literature circle, events such as the 'Liaozhai Essay Contest' are definitely the opportunities that countless newcomer authors dream of, because in the process of the event, with the blessing of the power of heaven and earth, the same popularity can create more novel chapters, which is conducive to creation, and reduces the lack of popularity and exhaustion of popularity in the creative process, which in turn leads to the eunuch of the work.

Because once such a situation occurs, you will not be able to become an author again for almost the rest of your life, and you will be cut off from the path of cultivation.

What makes countless newcomer authors even more interested is that in such an event, in addition to the regular recommendation, the website will also open up a special section for the recommendation of entries, so that newcomers can get more recommendation opportunities and accumulate fan popularity.

In addition to these, all new authors who participate in the competition, whose works can be ranked in the top ten in the comprehensive ranking, can receive rewards from Chinese and Saga that hold the competition, not to mention other special rewards after winning the championship.

Moreover, this essay is different from the past, it is actually related to the divine book "Strange Tales of Liao Zhai", you know, "Strange Tales of Liao Zhai" is a divine book created by Pu Songling, the ancestor of the Liao Zhai world, and once the essay collection activity is related to the divine book, it is absolutely extraordinary.

"It seems that I am determined to win this 'Liao Zhai Essay'!" Bai Yu clasped his hands, his eyes were full of fighting spirit, and he vowed to get a good ranking in this competition, at least within ten places, and even be recognized by the divine book "Liao Zhai Zhi Wei".

"Lao Bai, I support you!"

Yang Yuhuan saw Bai Yu's determined look, and immediately supported without hesitation: "But Lao Bai! The Liaozhai essay contest has been started for a while, and there have been many new authors who have participated in the essay contest and created a lot of works. ”

"Of course!"

As the saying goes, only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one not be defeated, the 'Liao Zhai Essay Contest' has already been opened, and countless essay works have been created, and Bai Yu also feels that he needs to understand the information of these works.

If you want to do it, Bai Yu clicks on the webpage and enters the essay channel of 'Liaozhai Essay' to read the entries in it.

One work after another was dazzling, and Bai Yu roughly checked and read it.

An hour later, Bai Yu closed the channel pages.

"Although there are many excellent articles, many of which are excellent, it seems that ...... There is no such thing as a book that makes an eye-catcher. Through what he learned just now, Bai Yu found that the entries in the competition are basically short films, with a small number of words, including 18,000 words, 350,000 words, and no more than 100,000 words, which are short stories.

Secondly, Bai Yu saw that among all the works in the competition, including the novels that ranked first in various data, the best ones were just spiritual energy, and after the book was completed, the real novels were at most 'spiritual books' level works.

"Spirit book?" Bai Yu's heart moved, and suddenly his eyes looked at Yang Yuhuan eagerly.

Lingshu, this is the grade of the original novel, Yang Yuhuan, as the author of a novel who has already created a novel, naturally has formed a true novel.

"Dry ...... What are you doing?" Seeing Bai Yu's wolf-like eyes, Yang Yuhuan immediately covered his chest.

"Hey, hey, contribute the original novel of your "Taoyuan Villa". ”

"I knew ......" Yang Yuhuan was depressed, but he still didn't hesitate, his heart moved, a flash of inspiration flashed in his hand, and a blue-green book slowly appeared in his hand.

This book is all blue-green, there are several landscape patterns on the cover, and a few strokes outline the great rivers and mountains, a farmhouse nearby, a few acres of paddy fields, old cattle farming, yellow dogs watching the house, a good pastoral landscape.

There are four big characters engraved on the book: Taoyuan Villa, which is the novel that Yang Yuhuan is serializing.

"Here you go!

Bai Yu snatched it and began to flip through it, reading carefully and quickly, and gradually gained something.

Although this "Taoyuan Villa" is only a true novel at the level of a spiritual book, not to mention anything else, in terms of pen power alone, it can be regarded as the best choice in the online literature circle of the predecessor, but in the fantasy version of the world, it is just a spiritual book.

Bai Yu knew through understanding that after the novels of this world were created by the author, they would form the true books of novels on the origin of the heavenly books of the consciousness world, and the true novels were divided into eight levels, namely: mortal books, spiritual books, law books, treasure books, Taoist books, heavenly books, divine books, and holy books.

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

After a cursory look at "Taoyuan Villa", Bai Yu's thoughts gradually became clear and enlightened.

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

Bai Yu reads the works of the top few in the competition and feels carefully.

Strictly speaking, the first time you write a novel, you can create a work of the grade of the spiritual book, and its author can already be regarded as a genius, but the "Liao Zhai Essay" is an essay contest related to the divine book "Liao Zhai Zhi Wei", although the work of the spiritual book is good, but it is not enough to be recognized by the divine book, and the work that can be recognized by the divine book must at least be a work at the level of the "treasure book", and the Tao and qi are intertwined in order to arouse the resonance of the divine book.

"It seems that I still have to do my best to enter this competition?" Bai Yu's eyes flashed with wisdom, and he decided to create a masterpiece that could win the championship in one fell swoop.

It's just that this kind of work can't be written out of it, Bai Yu still knows how many catties and taels he has, and he can't create it on his own.

After careful consideration, Bai Yu decided to write a famous article from his previous life, and this work will be the foundation of his online writing career.

That's right! As you can see in the title, Bai Yu has already made up his mind for his entry, which is "A Chinese Ghost Story".
