Sun Yaohuo’s long hours of practice were fruitful.
Lin Yuan had dinner with him and within two hours, the official version of “Red Roses” was recorded.
Handing the song over to 01’ Zhou, the rest was up to the company’s arrangement.
Night fell.
Work was over.
The invigorated Senior Sun Yao Huo was as enthusiastic as ever, driving Lin Yuan back to his residence.
“Goodbye.”
Lin Yuan waved.
After taking a shower and lying in bed, time before sleep was quite enough, so Lin Yuan simply called out the System: “Did you say that the first customised novel can be done at a 50% discount?”
System replied, “Yes.”
Lin Yuan was in a dilemma.
He got paid a few days ago.
He had about five million in his card.
How much should he pay for his customised novel?
They say you get what you pay for, so Lin Yuan wanted it cheap, yet he wanted the customised novel to be good.
Finally.
Lin Yuan gritted his teeth and said, “I’ll pay four million, but you have to give me a novel that originally costs eight million in your system.”
“Host, confirm customisation?”
“Please hurry before I change my mind.”
The operation took only about ten seconds. A prompt rang in Lin Yuan’s mind: “The system has completed the deduction. Congratulations to the host for acquiring the refined version of “XianXia World” novel “Zhu Xian”!
At the same time.
Lin Yuan received a text message deducting four million from the bank. The only thing that comforted him was that this money was ultimately donated by the system.
Following that.
Lin Yuan was a bit excited. At last, it wasn’t a manga adaptation. In terms of value, the novel “Zhu Xian” is pretty good!
Here to explain.
The System’s pricing of products doesn’t represent the actual value of the products. Please do not take it personally.
Lin Yuan can customise a song from the System with five hundred thousand, but the real value of this song is certainly more than five hundred thousand.
Same goes for the Bronze Treasure Chest.
This treasure chest can unveil a popular song “Balloon”.
While another chest can unveil the signature “Red Roses”.
Despite the difference in the value of the songs, they both came out of the Bronze Treasure Chest.
There’s no reasoning in such matters.
Some people got a Dragon Blindfold for just one buck.
While others spent thousands to pull a pile of junk.
“Wait.”
Lin Yuan suddenly realised that he seemed to have overlooked something.
XianXia novels?
In Blue Star, it seems not very popular.
To get to know the novel market of Blue Star, Lin Yuan carried out some research.
Although it’s a world of global ethnic and racial integration, Eastern thinking dominates. Therefore, the myths and legends of Blue Star are very rich, which arc the creative elements and foundation of XianXia novels.
But the unfortunate thing is…
These XianXia stories are more or less stuck in the stage of myth and legend, and few people create based on these elements.
The most recent XianXia novel dates back to eighty years ago!
Back then, there was a novel called “Immortal and Demon War”, which was a XianXia theme.
Its status was similar to that of “Shushan Swordsman” on Earth, and had a significant impact on many people!
However, after that, there was no excellent XianXia text anymore.
Over time, this topic became less and less popular.
What does the otherworldly adventure theme belong to?
Lin Yuan defines the otherworldly adventure theme as fantasy.
Otherworldly Fantasy.
These popular novels in the Qin Continent, although not entirely copying Western fantasy background, tend to be more original in their worldview.
Simply put, it’s like those fantasy stories in web novels that take place in the Eastern context—
Even if there’s occasional interpolation of XianXia settings in the story, they’re basically mentioned just in passing.
But fantasy and XianXia are different after all.
The former can be arbitrarily set, regardless of whether it’s soul ring or fighting spirit, stories that can justify themselves are good stories.
The latter draws nourishment from legendary myths and various folk tales, and even some ancient books that have been handed down. There’s a fundamental difference in style.
Of course.
The countless folk tales that have been passed down from ancient times to the present are circulating. The development of Taoism and Buddhism is also so thriving. Numerous works passed down can become the basis for XianXia novels. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be “Immortal and Demon War”, which was highly popular eighty years ago.
Under such circumstances.
Will the XianXia novel “Zhu Xian” find a market?
After a brief hesitation, Lin Yuan gradually had an answer.
Remember, it was like this on Earth at first.
After Huanzhulouzhu’s “Shushan Swordsman”, XianXia novels practically disappeared.
Not until a hundred years later, when web novels were on the rise, did novels like “Piaomiao’s Journey” rekindle the XianXia genre.
The subsequent “Zhu Xian” was only two years apart from the former.
Therefore, Lin Yuan firmly believed that the performance of “Zhu Xian” would definitely not be poor.
Its function might be the same as “Piaomiao’s Journey”, making XianXia in the market shine again.
Lin Yuan even thought the system did it on purpose.
Whatever the market lacks, the system has him break new ground.
There weren’t many people writing about sports before, the system gave him “King of the Net”.
Now because not many people are writing XianXia, the system gave him “Zhu Xian”.
This world is based on martial arts. Many years ago, martial arts were truly glorious.
Additionally, the foundation of “Immortal and Demon War” had been laid.
It’s just short of “Zhu Xian”, a novel that’s innovative enough yet still retains the characteristics of XianXia, to explode the market…
“Read.”
A thought crossed Lin Yuan’s mind. The complete content of “Zhu Xian” appeared in his head instantly.
“So that’s how it is.”
Just like “King of the Net” before.
The “Zhu Xian” provided by the system was edited, also known as the refined version of the system.
The plot wasn’t much revised.
It was mainly the details.
After all, “Zhu Xian” was created later.
The birth of this novel was about two years after “Piaomiao’s Journey”, thus it was based on the readers already having some understanding of XianXia.
The readers of this world hadn’t witnessed the laying of the foundation with “Piaomiao’s Journey”.
Hence, the readers of this world still had an understanding of XianXia that was stuck in the “Immortal and Demon War” era eighty years ago.
The revised “Zhu Xian” of the system was based on this reason.
The content strengthened the sculpting and output of XianXia concepts, displaying a vivid XianXia world in more detail, allowing readers to understand more clearly what XianXia novels are!
“The system has a good writing style.”
Lin Yuan couldn’t help but praise.
The system replied, “The system chose Luoyang’s writing ability as the template. Whether it was the last novel or “Zhu Xian”, they were created by modifying his ability.”
“Who is Luoyang?”
“A writer from a parallel universe.”
Lin Yuan nodded, approving this writer’s strength, but he didn’t ask more. Anyways, he was not surnamed Luo, so it was irrelevant to him.
