Chapter 169 (1/2)

The perfect opening

Theoretically speaking, works like “Beautiful April” that are not repeatedly bumped up via continuous online updates would find trouble kicking off. After all, it had only been published in a magazine

Unless it is adapted into a manga or animation, how would it ever compete with popular webnovels with words alone?

Currently, the most famous novel on the net would be “The strongest king” (It might not be the most famous in Qidian novel website, but it had considerable influence on the net. It could easily pop up in the hot topic search bar of Weibo, and all kinds of MAD [1] versions of the novel would flood a certain website).The death of Yu Shengfan was the line that should not be crossed, yet it was, to great effect, anyone who was unsatisfied with the death of little fish had to admit

Since then, Rosemary’s work had been improving, at a rate matched only by the growing depth and maturity his writing! Many new, distinctive characters would make their entries one after another, eventually mingling together to churn out wholesome, proper drama that stems from their various complex interactions, along with their quirks and imperfections

Many readers were so absorbed in the book and felt that they had traveled into the story world. They were like some fans in the story who had started to pick their own favorite (In-story) teams to support. Among them was the “Glory squad” led by Lin Feng, who had the most number of fans. He was the leading protagonist in the whole story, his position only bolstered by the fact that THE one and only Little Fish would forever live on in his glory.

Besides Tang Yongkai, he was also able to recruit other players with potential into his “Glorious squad.” He would be able to reach the summit if everything goes according to his plan.

Sadly, no matter how deeply absorbed the readers were, they could never really travel into the story world. Hence, they could only use money to satisfy themselves in the real world. Rumors had it; there was a female godly tycoon planning to book the space of a very costly advertisement block to celebrate Lin Feng’s birthday!

This might sound ridiculous, but this was the truth. “The strongest king” had that kind of intense influence where the characters inside had become virtual idols. It will not be surprising if one of the characters becomes the spokesperson of a certain brand in real life.

Zhao Youyue, as the Sect Master who had the highest fan base for “The strongest king,” actually knew most of the female readers, including that female godly tycoon. She was just a university student, but she was filthy rich. She was the daughter of a coal tycoon, and she was loved by her parents very much, and had even more allowance than Zhao Youyue

We could never imagine the world that godly tycoons lived in. Apparently, this female godly tycoon also watched live web streams, and had tipped one of the male streamers one million, on the condition that he does not fall in love for the next five years. Much spoilt, filthy richness.

Actually, if Zhao Youyue introduces this tycoon to her own live web stream and spreads the right words among the godly tycoon readers, she might have their attention and get a sponsorship to continue promoting Little Fish. However, she did not do so, and nobody knew that Zhao Youyue was Yu Shengfan.

Just when “The Strongest King” was about to dominate all the other works and top the search list, a story called “Beautiful April” came out of nowhere and triggered a storm of youthful noise. It has only been published for six weeks, such success was nothing short of a miracle!

This was all thanks to people like Jiang Qing who could not contain their excitement after reading the story, mostly due to the character – “Chu Luoxun.”

Most students were creatures of poverty, but they all had hearts filled with burning passion. They all had the strong desire to express their feelings. In this era where everyone has a handphone, they could choose to express their emotions on the internet!

“The story “Beautiful April” was simply charming, I was being fed dog food non-stop! Oh, and that the new character Chu Luoxun was really something, such a goddess!”

“I had a strong premonition that Chu Luoxun would become very popular in the future! She had been fleshed out so nicely, and I could always feel her brimming with life, whenever I read about her. Moreover, her music is so magical that you could hear it through the words on the paper!”

“It’s definitely a first for me. I’d have never thought that my ears could enjoy a novel. It was like being soaked and dunked in the world of good music.”
