Wang Xie, who received a new task, was no longer able to complain.

The dog system has now made no secret of his "bad intentions".

In addition, can't the punishment of the system be changed? Even if you learn from other systems, you can threaten me with "obliteration".

But what can I do, I don't have to accept it upside down.

But Wang Xie still has a lot of questions in his mind that need to be asked systematically.

For example, he is going to use a new vest, although Wang Xie himself is low-key, but this feeling of wearing a vest and loading a cup is not a bit like a brocade night walk.

"System, system, come out for me." Wang Xie plans to ask the system carefully.

"Yes."

"Why should I start a second career?" Wang Xie asked angrily.

"The main reason is that there is a lot of music with a certain literary background, and if many lyrics can't fit the literary background, then the audience will definitely not resonate, and the song will not be popular."

Wang Xie somewhat understood, for example, if he wrote some songs specially composed for literary works on earth, he would definitely sound a little confused, such as how many classic songs there are in the four famous novels alone.

But Wang Xie thought about it, and the system was avoiding the important, so he continued to ask, "Then why do I have to take a pen name?" ”

"The pen name is for the good of the host, what if someone else finds out about the host and dissects the host?"

Wang Xie felt that the system was a little dishonest and must have hidden something, so he continued to ask, "Then why can't you expose your true identity in front of the public in front of a marquis-level writer?" ”

"Well, it's, well, anyway, it's for the good of the host, and the host will know about it later."

Good guy, this is pure cheating, Wang Xie feels that his system is a bit cheating.

"So what if I don't take it?"

"The host has taken it by default."

"Haven't I picked it up yet? What about my OK button. ”

"The last upgrade was optimized."

"Why didn't you notify me?"

"The system forgot."

“……”

I can't make it up, I can't make it up, Wang Xie wants to pull the system out and beat it up.

As the saying goes, fate is like that, if you can't resist, then enjoy it silently.

However, as the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles.

Wang Xie, who had already accepted his fate, began to silently search for relevant information about the [King of Short Stories] essay contest on the Internet.

The system is really stuck.

Wang Xie found that the official release time of the [King of Short Stories] essay contest was 12 noon today, that is, more than 2 hours ago.

The main collection area of the "King of Short Stories" essay contest is Dahua District, which is jointly organized by the Dahua District Writers Association and the Ministry of Culture.

The main purpose of this competition is to add more cultural exchange content to this culturally barren world, after all, novels can be adapted into a series of cultural works in TV series, movies and music.

By the way, in order to promote the traditional culture of Dahua District, although the culture of Dahua District has become the global mainstream, it is also regarded as some achievements when it is carried forward from time to time.

The requirements for the "King of Short Stories" essay contest are relatively simple:

Everyone can participate, with almost no requirements, whether it's a newcomer, an old bird, or a long-established writer.

Of course, if ordinary people participate, there is definitely no advantage, and they may not even be able to pass the first round of review.

After the review, all the novels that pass the review will be uploaded to the special essay area for display, and each registered user can vote for the novels they like.

10 votes per person per day, with a maximum of 5 votes for a single novel. Of course, if it is found that the ticket has been swiped, it will be disqualified and publicized.

In addition, there are not too many requirements for the submission format, one is that it must be a short story, and the other is that it must be as close as possible to the traditional culture of Dahua District.

Wang Xie scratched his head after reading it, although he knew that the general public basically watched the excitement, but how many people in the novel circle wanted to be famous, not to mention that maybe there would be many great gods who would wear vests to go into battle.

However, Wang Xie thought about it, and sure enough, the system came prepared.

Does the system give its own "Strange Tales"?

It's too funny.

"Strange Tales of Liao Zhai", referred to as "Liao Zhai", commonly known as "The Legend of the Ghost Fox", is a work by Pu Songling, a famous novelist in the Qing Dynasty.

In the history of literature, it is an indispensable collection of short stories in Chinese literature.

The book has a total of 491 articles, and the content is very extensive, talking mostly about foxes, immortals, ghosts, and demons, so as to summarize the social relations at that time, and reflect the social outlook of China in the 17th century.

In the time and space of the earth in which Wang Xie himself lives, Feng Zhenluan commented on "Liao Zhai" in 1818, saying that "contemporary novelists must be the first in this book".

This year's "King of Short Stories" essay contest requires that it be as close as possible to the traditional culture of Dahua District, and "Strange Tales from Liao Zhai" talks about foxes, fairies, ghosts, and demons, and reflects the social relations at that time through them, which is too close.

What's more, Wang Xie briefly flipped through it in his mind just now, both the ancient Chinese and the vernacular version are used, so if the ancient version is used directly, wouldn't it be closer.

Wang Xie sighed, he was clearly arranged.

Later, Wang Xie browsed the official website of the essay contest again and confirmed that the next time for the competition was January 1, which is only about 1 week away.

Wang Xie couldn't help but stroke his forehead and sighed lightly, this dog system really doesn't want to leave any rest time for himself.

Just when Wang Xie had been greeting the maker of the "system" in his heart, the novel circle had already exploded.

Xiao Budi is one of them.

Xiao Budi is 35 years old this year, and he was originally a short story writer who became famous at a young age, but because he was young and frivolous at the beginning, and some liked to chase fame and fortune, although he was relatively prolific later, the quality of the works he issued was average, so he has been hovering in the rank of viscount novelist.

Later, after listening to the persuasion of the short story master, he began to practice in retreat, slowly precipitating himself and polishing his works, and just when he was about to re-release a new work, he came across this competition.

Xiao Budi's first reaction was ecstasy, he thought that this was an opportunity given to him by God; Later, he turned into worry, because he didn't know how many great gods would come out this time.

So he's now keeping a firm eye on the novelist's VV group to see what others have to say.

At this time, everyone has basically received the news, and the group has already been lively.

"I'm crazy about novels: everyone talks about how to do it this time."

"I'm the second in the world: what else can I do, just rush."

"Friends of the novel: Forget it, I won't join in the fun with a little bit of a street like me."

"Rising Star: What do you do with knight-level novelists, aren't you afraid of losing and ruining your reputation?"

"Song Linquan: What are you afraid of, I just change my pen name, if I win, I will announce who I am, and if I lose, I will slip away."

"I'm crazy about novels: it's over, all the knights are going to be on it, I guess it's gone."

“……”

After Xiao Budi read all the chat records, he thought about it, wrote a paragraph and sent it to the group and @ the group owner.

"Xiao Budi: Will Old Man Nan participate? @南景园"

After Xiao Budi sent the message, there was an instant silence in the chat group.

Nanjingyuan, a well-deserved master of novels, is good at short stories, the only two marquis-level novelists, and Qu Jin, another marquis-level novelist who is good at novels, are known as the kings of the north and south in the novel world.

The quiet atmosphere in the group lasted for several minutes before I saw the message from the account "Nanjingyuan".

"Nanjingyuan: My grandfather is not very good at using a smartphone, he dictated that I type, please bear with me."

"Nanjingyuan: I will not participate in the essay contest this time, please strive to be the first and contribute more to the prosperity of the novel industry."

"Nanjingyuan: In addition, I heard from an old friend that other novelists of the novel and novella will also participate in the essay collection this time, please introduce the old friend @Qu Jin for the specific situation."

After reading the content posted by the old man of Nanjingyuan, everyone in the group was shocked, but they were still patiently waiting for the reply of the other great god.

After a while, Qu Jin also replied.

"Qu Jin: Novelists are all family, no matter what long, medium or short stories, as long as they have the ability, they can apply for the competition."

"Qu Jin: I'm in the Writers' Association now, and I heard that there will be many such opportunities in the future, and everyone can also participate, such as the essay contest for novels, the essay contest for ranger novels, the essay contest for classical novels, etc., as for who can carp and jump over the dragon gate, each depends on his ability."

After Qu Jin's words were finished, the group exploded.

"I am the second in the world: this... Is there a scuffle in the whole fiction industry? ”

"I'm crazy about novels: I can't say the same, many celebrities won't make a move, it's nothing if you win, and it's not glorious if you lose."

"Song Linquan: That's true, because what can prove the novelist is only the traditional sales, not one or two competitions."

"Rising Star: But it also provides a platform to get ahead, and there should be more newcomers and old birds who can't get ahead."

"Song Linquan: @萧不第, will Brother Xiao also participate?"

"Xiao Budi: It depends on the situation."

"I'm crazy about novels: let's do it, guys."

“……”

Xiao Budi looked at the VV group that was still scrolling the screen, and couldn't help but secretly think in his heart.

He knew what Song Linquan meant when he asked him, because he regarded himself as a fierce rival and wanted to touch his bottom.

But Xiao Budi didn't really care much, he was more concerned about whether novelists above the viscount level would participate in the competition, that was the real rival.

As for Song Linquan, a small baron-level novelist, what qualifications can he be taken into account.

He sharpened his sword diligently and conscientiously for seven years, not to compete with a baron-level novelist, but to launch a clarion call to charge a count-level novelist.

This time, he will announce his return to the whole circle.

As for congratulatory gifts, let's use the champion's trophy.
