Chapter 5: Are you a human?
Are you really human? Or are you a celestial being hidden in the metropolis
So aloof? Even the cute deity and the questioning deity have actively sought support, yet there has been no response? The world is too cruel
... ...
It was still surprising that my application was approved immediately; without waiting for him to say anything, the editor with the online name "Cang Hai" took the initiative to send me a message
Before Wang Dashan, among dozens of clicks, there was one super genius who could sense something from the combination of the artistic essence related to the works
Tang Zhun was left dazed by this million-dollar alliance, and it took him several seconds to catch his breath, exclaiming, "No way, could it be that someone has already gained or experienced something from the works I uploaded?"
Apart from a simple thank you, he did not know what else to say
Isn't it amazing
As soon as Tang Zhun quickly finished typing a line of text in the vast sea, he received a prompt for a group invitation
Looking at the various messages, Tang Zhunba smacked his lips, suppressing his curiosity, and finally began to reply, "Thank you."
Wen Da, I would like to ask you about that numerical combination related to your work. Um, I don't know how to express it, Wen Da, are you a human?
... ...
Is this the editor of the legendary aloof industry leader? There shouldn't be any mistake, right? Tang Zhun looked again at the Penguin number given by the signing editor with confusion and tentatively replied with an "mm".
He is also certain that he does not know Wang Dashan, the leader of the Golden Alliance, yet the other party generously offered over 100,000 as a reward, begging for his contact information, book club?
Only those second-generation players who are just dabbling would be so arrogant. Not only towards these great figures, but also indifferent towards me, the editor.
Wen Da, are you Wen Da? I am Wang Da Sha, no, Wang Da Sha is my alias Qi Hang, my real name is Wang Ji Yang
You are the embodiment of literature conveying the way? Finally, I have encountered a living one, greetings to you, great master
Whoever wanted him to add, received a response in just over ten minutes? Did the editor work overtime?
Where is the Dao God? It has been a long time since I last saw any activity from them
This is indeed a signing message, the legendary backend message!
Tang Zhun watched it several times and found it not overwhelming, then excitedly added the editor's Penguin account as reminded in the text message. Everything was a brand new world, something he had never encountered in his previous life. However, it was now evening, and Tang Zhun felt that even if he added the account, he would likely only receive a reply tomorrow
Tang Zhun did not expect that his posture would provoke a reaction from one or two hundred authors in the 6 urban clusters
He entered the group in a completely dazed state, and as soon as he joined the group, it exploded with activity
Among those who seek to curry favor with the deities and seek patronage, ninety percent are merely joining the fray
The master is indeed aloof
There must be something wrong!
He had no intention of paying attention to these matters and took the initiative to add Wang Dashan's penguin account
As lines of text and images flooded the group after Tang Zhun joined, the speed of the barrage was overwhelming. At this point, even he, with his slow reaction, realized that something was amiss
The first adorable figure of the galaxy, a city deity whose popularity is undeniable, consistently attracts tens of thousands of followers, with several adaptations in film and television, generating a substantial annual income in the tens of millions.
Is he even human, or is he a celestial being? How can he respond to this? He possesses the literary power of interstellar civilization, yet it is somewhat strange. That kind of literature is an understanding of the natural cosmic principles, integrating the comprehension of these principles into words and writings. It seems to be somewhat similar to the practice of immortality.
Zhang Lezhhao did not expect that many of the inferences born from his erroneous perceptions, which arose from a series of misunderstandings, were actually correct
... ...
"Great Cang Hai, were you really a deity just now? You must have mistaken the person."
Today, when Tang Zhun opened his book page for the first time, he was quickly astonished. The fan leaderboard was filled, with the first place being the Golden Alliance Leader, who had received over 11 million starting coins as a reward
Amidst the chaos of various thoughts, Tang Zhun inadvertently closed the group and temporarily muted the messages. Even so, he still received seven or eight pop-up notifications from QQ accounts shortly thereafter
After feeling embarrassed, he rubbed the corner of his mouth and said, "So aloof, tsk, it's ninety-nine percent likely that he's just a second-generation player. Otherwise, how could a newcomer not be excited after meeting so many greats?"
The emergence of Shenwen is slightly inferior to the first Meng by a notch or two, and several million a year is quite relaxed; this is also one of the top few in the entire group.
... ...
Therefore, this matter is quite peculiar
As the messages gradually turned into mild complaints, Zhang Lezhao sat at his desk in the Donghai City Editorial Department, feeling a wave of embarrassment.
With a hint of sarcasm, Zhang Lezhhao quickly typed, "Alright, alright, everyone disperse. At this moment, the person must be connecting with the Golden Alliance to convey their message through literature, so there is no time to waste chatting with you all. Hurry up and get back to writing."
By the way, I will add you to the author group, which consists of all the urban literature authors from our group 6
Wen Da, you finally added me. I have been waiting since last night, and I haven't closed my eyes until now. Wen Da, you...
It is wrong; it should be called the Way of the Gods, clinging to the powerful!
What the heck, is this Wen Da?
Tang Zhun is indeed a second-generation individual, at least in this world. Moreover, Tang Zhun is genuinely chatting with the Golden Alliance. However, after adding Wang Dashan's QQ number, Tang Zhun quickly found himself speechless due to the pop-up messages from the other party
However, after such a long time, the person who joined the group has shown no response, which has led many authors to express their frustrations. Most web writers tend to have a more introverted nature and are relatively simple-minded, at least not as complicated as other real-world industries.
Worship the great deity, their daily income is comparable to our annual earnings, I humbly request to be supported!
It is fortunate that a person who is thirty years old has been reborn, still relatively mature, and has smoothly navigated the signing process without any turbulence. Without even opening his own pages, he took the opportunity, while it was not too late, to run off and print the contract. After completing these tasks, Tang Zhunze returned to the computer to start managing the editorial WeChat account.
Tang Zhun still found it hard to believe that his book had only received a few dozen clicks. No, before he left home today, the page had only a few dozen clicks, but now the number of clicks had exceeded ten thousand. However, there was no contract and no recommendations. Such an explosive increase in clicks must have been entirely due to the millions of followers attracted by Wang Dashan.
Apart from Wang Dashan, who is a rare genius even in the future interstellar civilization, there is no further explanation.
His review section has exploded, with thousands of replies to the reviews
... ...
Although there were complaints, it is important to consider that the authors under him are still conveying the message through their writing, so some regard must be given to their dignity
Time and again, in the urban literature scene, there are one or two hundred writers making waves. Not to mention the ordinary authors, even a few true masters standing at the pinnacle of online literature have come out to join the fun, displaying all sorts of humorous antics
Just now, both of them jumped out, equally ignored
Apart from this leader, the next batch is much simpler, consisting only of a few apprentices and trainee fans, a few hundred launch coins, and a few dollars worth of fans
After finishing a cigarette and rubbing his forehead, Tang Zhun logged into his author backend right after setting sail, only to be startled by a text message. "A contract message? How could this be? The opening isn't great, and the performance has been terrible these past few days. The content doesn't appeal to me, an old bookworm. I just lack the ability to write something exciting, yet I've received a contract message after just over 20,000 words?" The opening isn't great, and the performance has been terrible these past few days. The content doesn't appeal to me, an old bookworm. I just lack the ability to write something exciting, yet I've received a contract message after just over 20,000 words?
However, in his heart, Zhang Lezhao has indeed labeled Tang Zhun as a second-generation individual, a dilettante, and someone difficult to communicate with. As for such an author? It is better to let it be, as one can never tell when they might lose interest, and there is no need for him to invest much effort.
