Wu Yue deeply felt that Chief Editor Hu Jian's previous praise for this book was far too understated! This was clearly an out-and-out wuxia masterpiece!
Just these tens of thousands of words at the beginning, like a magical power, deeply moved him, the Chief Editor of Shengshi Fenghua.
If such a book were not given the best promotion, it would simply be a blasphemy against wuxia!
And so, Hu Jian, who had just returned to the Wuxia Department, unexpectedly received a call from Chief Editor Wu Yue.
"Old Hu, you almost made me miss a wuxia divine book! Thankfully, I was curious and read the first few chapters. I agree with your recommendation to upgrade the promotion; tomorrow, we'll directly give it a small homepage feature! If the effect is good, we'll go straight for a big feature! This time, I'm going to fiercely slap the faces of those who say wuxia is dead!"
Wu Yue's voice came almost roaring.
However, upon hearing Wu Yue's excited words, Hu Jian's expression quickly changed from initial surprise to a flushed excitement!
That's right, Wu Yue's words truly deeply stimulated him.
Who said wuxia was dead? Then what was this "amorous swordsman ruthless sword"?
Just like that, without Su Yu's knowledge, his new book quietly appeared on Shengshi Fenghua's official website's small feature at midnight.
And the title of the small feature was prominently written in enlarged and bolded font: "little li flying dagger, unparalleled in the world, one strike, never misses!"
Such an arrogant and chuunibyou-filled title, as soon as it appeared, attracted the attention of many night-owl bookworms like a magnet.
And so, many people directly clicked through the link.
As a result, these people were shocked by the novel's category as soon as they entered.
Damn it, it was wuxia! And the book title "amorous swordsman ruthless sword" was a bit too old-fashioned, wasn't it? And the author's name Gu Zhou Suo Li Weng? A new author?
Wuxia, the book title, and the author—these three points directly deterred more than half of the bookworms.
However, half of the people who entered still chose to take a look first.
However, when they found out that the book only had eight chapters and just over forty thousand words, another two-thirds of the people left.
But, when the remaining people, with skeptical minds, began to read this wuxia novel, they felt as if they had fallen into a magical world and could no longer get out!
This also led to the comment section, which had not a single comment, reaching 999+ directly after Su Yu woke up the next day and opened the author's backend.
"This is definitely the best wuxia novel I've read in years! Rewarding ten thousand chinese yuan, begging the great author to update!"
"little li flying dagger, never misses! This setting is awesome! It's just that there are too few words, not enough to read! Rewarding fifty thousand chinese yuan, Suo Li Weng, come out! Add more updates!"
"Who said wuxia is dead? Do you really think my little li flying dagger's blade is dull? Rewarding one hundred thousand chinese yuan, author, come out and write! Even the donkeys in the production team aren't this lazy!"
"Am I the only one who feels Li Xunhuan is a bit cowardly? For the sake of so-called brotherhood, he actually gave up his beloved Lin Shiyin! Is this fair to Lin Shiyin?"
"I'm blindly guessing that Long Xiaoyun isn't a good person! Rewarding one hundred thousand chinese yuan, author, update me to death!"
When Su Yu saw these comments with special effects that came with the rewards, he was completely stunned.
When he signed the contract yesterday, he learned about author income. He could get 70% of these readers' rewards.
And one chinese yuan could buy ten chinese yuan, so the highest reward of one hundred thousand chinese yuan was actually ten thousand chinese yuan!
Moreover, Su Yu carefully counted, and he actually received over five hundred thousand chinese yuan in rewards overnight!
This was simply crazy! Was writing books so profitable? Or were there too many rich people in Blue Star China?
However, Su Yu stopped thinking about these things.
After all, everything happening before his eyes clearly indicated that his new book was starting to get popular!
Su Yu turned his gaze to the system's reputation value interface. Sure enough, the reputation value, which was over 90,000 before he went to sleep last night, had now reached 140,000!
If it were just music, it would be impossible to increase so much at once, but with the reputation brought by the novel, it was very easy to understand.
At this rate of increase, reaching a million reputation points within seven months would not be a problem at all!
At this moment, Su Yu's green bubble also prompted a sound. Su Yu saw that it was actually a message from Chief Editor Hu Jian.
Chief Editor Hu Jian: "Brother, last night the Chief Editor agreed to change your book's promotion to a small feature. Now the recommendation performance is very good, and the next big feature is stable! During this period, you absolutely cannot stop updating, otherwise, it would be a pity!"
Alright, while Hu Jian was delivering good news, he was also reminding Su Yu not to drop the ball at a critical moment.
Su Yu: "My typing speed is very fast, Chief Editor, rest assured. The two chapters updated today will be automatically published at eight o'clock!"
Su Yu was a little speechless. Was he really that unreliable? Did a Chief Editor need to remind him again and again not to stop updating?
Hu Jian breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Su Yu's reply.
He was really afraid that today's young people would be too self-indulgent and not take the current recommendation resources seriously.
Chief Editor Hu Jian: "By the way, for this novel, you don't really plan to end it before five hundred thousand words, do you? Can't you write a bit more content?"
Su Yu: "Chief Editor, for the quality and reputation of the novel, I can't just pad the word count, can I? And I'm not just writing this one novel and then stopping; you can't drain the pond to catch all the fish."
Su Yu knew what Hu Jian meant; he was just afraid that the novel would be too short to capitalize on the current momentum.
But the system only gave him that much word count, and he didn't want to add unnecessary details.
Moreover, a good reputation would be of great benefit to the release of his future works.
Chief Editor Hu Jian: "Alright, just pretend I didn't say anything! Just ensure the quality of the work. It's just that the word count for the book to be put on shelves can't be the twenty thousand words stipulated by the website. How about this, I'll go discuss it with the Chief Editor and try to get you ten thousand words for it to be put on shelves!"
What else could Hu Jian say? If the quality of the novel declined due to padding the word count, that was not what he wanted to see.
Now, many people who love wuxia novels have come to regard Su Yu's "amorous swordsman ruthless sword" as the hope for the revival of wuxia!
Su Yu: "Then thank you, Chief Editor! Also, it's best not to rush to sell the film and television adaptation rights of the novel. I don't want my work to be sold cheaply."
Su Yu brought up the issue he was relatively concerned about at the moment: "little li flying dagger" was a very big IP!
If Shengshi Fenghua sold it cheaply, he would truly feel heartbroken.
Hu Jian replied speechlessly: "Don't worry, the people in the operations department are shrewd!"
Just as their chat ended, it was eight o'clock in the morning, and chapters nine and ten of "amorous swordsman ruthless sword" were automatically updated.
Instantly, countless readers came flocking...
