Chapter 228: Chapter 213 Preliminary Completion _1
While retaining many exciting scenes from “Tomb Raid,” the System added some text that enhances the eerie atmosphere, as supernatural events are inevitably designed in tomb-robbing novels.
What the System does is to make readers feel a hair-raising tension when
reading the novel…
Are horror films scarier or horror novels?
Most people would probably find horror films scarier because the visual graphics can stir emotions deep in people’s hearts.
But if the text is well written, it can also create a strong atmospheric effect, which, although different from movies, influences human emotions in much the same way.
Lin Yuan thinks…
The System’s version of “Tomb Raid” is horrifying!
Some of the text is so vividly descriptive that it creates a visual image just by reading it.
Not to mention some parts that seem ordinary at first glance, but are terrifying upon closer inspection.
So, Lin Yuan’s summary of this version is, Tomb Raid plus!
Of course.
Only the places that are supposed to be scary are scary. If it’s just scary for the sake of being scary, then it’s not interesting.
Obviously, the System also understands this. So in this version of “Tomb Raid,” when it comes to depicting scenes like tomb traps, it doesn’t focus on describing the so-called horror, but emphasizes two characteristics:
Ingenious!
Thrilling!
The ingenuity lies in the design of the traps and tombs, the technical level displayed in them is always amazingly clever.
The thrill comes from the danger of these traps, because one wrong move
could lead to total ruin.
Many times, the Lieutenant Goldfinder is faced with life-and-death situations.
Maybe it’s because the main character of the original “Tomb Raid,” Hu Bayi, is so powerful and always gives the impression of being calm and cunning, that the system has ramped up the difficulty level, making Hu Bayi also face some frustrating dangers.
As the system had said before, the adaptation of the novel is actually modeled after great authors…
Lin Yuan now admires the author who was chosen by the system, because with this adaptive capability, the author has elevated all aspects of “Tomb Raid” to a new level!
Lin Yuan has sporadic memories…
When he read “Tomb Raid” in his previous life, he didn’t feel it was so horrifying and mysterious but just found it novel and slightly thrilling.
So by the time he arrived at the later volumes, he was somewhat fatigued.
But in this life, in this version of “Tomb Raid,” each volume is self-explanatory.
The atmosphere it creates is unique and intriguing, which makes it irresistible.
This leads to the sensation of cold sweat pouring down when Lin Yuan is writing.
Ordinary people facing the bizarre and unknown often react this way, and Lin
Yuan is no exception.
You see…
Lin Yuan has been afraid to watch horror films since he was a little boy. He remembers he used to be so scared watching a zombie movie that he’d burrow under the covers.
Consolation phrases like “An innocent man does not fear ghosts knocking at
his door” are of no help to Lin Yuan.
Especially since he’s done plenty of guilty things like secretly eating egg yolks without his sister knowing.
So under such circumstances, Lin Yuan must screw up his courage to write a version of “Tomb Raid” that’s more suspenseful and thrilling than the original. How could he not be panicked?
But when he thinks about the fact that “Tomb Raid” cost him ten million, Lin Yuan gathers up his courage!
If he were to not write this expensive novel simply because he’s scared, it would be a complete waste!
Courage can be trained.
Lin Yuan once heard a juicy piece of gossip from Jian Yi.
Apparently, a friend of Jian Yi’s would wet the bed after watching a horror movie as a child, and this situation hadn’t improved until the age of seven or eight.
So, Jian Yi’s friend decided to train himself to overcome his fear, and the method was…
To force himself to watch a horror movie every day!
After doing this for a month, Jian Yi’s friend really wasn’t as scared of horror movies anymore, and he no longer wet his bed after watching them.
In the end, Jian Yi reminisced, “My friend is now just like me, not afraid of horror movies at all.”
Lin Yuan admires Jian Yi’s friend very much.
The situation he’s facing now is somewhat similar.
At the beginning of writing the System’s version of “Tomb Raid,” he was very afraid.
But as he continued to write more and more, the fear in his heart seemed to decrease a lot.
Because most of the things in “Tomb Raid” are explainable, regardless of whether the explanations are far-fetched. As long as it can be reasonably explained, that’s enough, after all, a tomb-robbing novel is fundamentally based on imagining reality.
Many supernatural events, once you understand the principles behind them, actually aren’t that scary.
As for why Lin Yuan has so much spare time to write…
Because Lin Yuan took a leave of absence!
ActuaUy, from the time Lin Yuan got Maestro Yang Zhongming’s character card, he had a strong feeling that there was no need for him to continue studying the music composition courses at university.
Staying in school was just a waste of time.
Previously, considering things like credits, Lin Yuan had been enduring.
But now, Lin Yuan found that he had a lot of things to do, so he decided to make use of his time in school and take leave for classes he didn’t need to attend.
Originally, Lin Yuan thought this would be quite troublesome.
But when he told his counselor that he would often be taking leaves in the future, Lin Yuan distinctly saw the counselor’s expression light up with a relieved smile.
Lin Yuan wondered if he was mistaken, why would a teacher be happy about their student taking leave?
The smile flashed across the counselor’s face, then in the next moment, the counselor returned to being serious
Seriously approved the leave.
Lin Yuan began to feel that he indeed might have misunderstood. His teacher did not like him taking leaves.
But whether his teacher is happy about it or not has nothing to do with Lin Yuan. He does not disrespect the teachers or the school; it’s just that he’s really not learning anything useful anymore.
The effects of Yang Zhongming’s character card and the mentoring halo are much more helpful than attending any university.
Even for some non-specialized courses, Lin Yuan can use a Memory Pill to “eat” books and bypass that, flipping quickly through a book and remembering all the knowledge points
There’s no higher learning efficiency than this.
In short, although Lin Yuan is still a college student, he can now manage his own time freely.
He chooses to spend the time he used to spend on school in his own studio.
Drawing comics in the morning.
Writing novels in the afternoon.
Very clear scheduling.
Thanks to his ample writing time, Lin Yuan’s “Tomb Raid” has been updated at a rapid speed.
In less than ten days, Lin Yuan was able to finish the first volume “The Ancient City of Jingjue.”
“Phew.”
He let out a breath and contacted YangFeng, the editor of Silver Blue Books, “The new book is done. Can it be released next month?
“Send it to me to check out!”
The moment YangFeng received the message, he immediately got excited!
Solution is a double meaning word which means to dissolve or find an outcome or explaination for something.. The mass publication by Qin Qi’s side is a predatory move to seize the market, the release of Chu Kuang’s new book at this time might provide a huge help to Silver Blue Books!
