Back to 1997, I became the originator of online literature

Chapter 76: Leading the Trend, Dinner

Cao Sheng didn't know that he had led Taipei's Ke Jingteng astray, nor did he know that he had also led Tainan's Pi Zi Cai astray.

But he knew that he seemed to have led many authors under the banyan tree astray.

One night, after he finished writing a chapter, he took a break and logged into Under the Banyan Tree, browsing the web casually.

I accidentally saw Li Xunhuan serializing a book called "Under the Fairy Sky".

Then I read Xing Yusen's "The Heir of the Loose Immortals", Annie Baby's "Legendary Taoist Companions in the World of Cultivation", and Jin Hezai's "Dark Cultivation"...

When he saw these works, he was a little surprised, but not very surprised.

Surprisingly, these authors didn’t seem to have written these works in their original time and space.

It is not surprising that he had already anticipated that "I Want to Become a God" would appear on the Internet in 1998 and would definitely affect many people.

Just like after he read works such as "Legend of Dragon Warrior" and "I am the Great Master", he lost interest in traditional types of novels, even traditional martial arts.

After seeing the wild imagination of online literature and the protagonists' unbridled pleasure, how many people would still be interested in traditional works?

Even traditional martial arts novels pale in comparison to online literature.

Is the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms very powerful?

Do you want to take a look at the Great Wilderness Prisoner Heaven Finger?
Is Six Meridians Divine Sword so awesome?
Is it cool to have a flying sword?

Duan Zhengchun is very lucky with many women?

Did you know that it is a common practice for a male protagonist in online novels to have a harem? There are even indescribable details in the description!

What? You just want to see Duan Zhengchun's woman?

Want to know more about the fan works of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils"? The male protagonist took in all of Duan Zhengchun's women, including Duan Zhengchun's daughters! Don't you want to see it?
Of course, online literature is far from developing to that point.

But Cao Sheng's "I Want to Become an Immortal" has opened the door to a new world for everyone and has influenced some authors.

He was happy to hear this.

……

One evening.

As the bell rang, Cao Sheng took his textbooks and notes and walked out of the teaching building with his classmates, preparing to go to the cafeteria for dinner.

But just as he walked out of the teaching building, he saw Huang Qingya in a beige dress standing by the flower bed in front with a smile on her face. When he saw her, she raised her jade arm and waved to him repeatedly.

"Fuck! Is this woman waving at me?"

Cao Sheng heard a classmate's low cry from behind him.

I also heard the surprise of several other classmates.

"She's so white..."

“I like this figure!”

"Excellent!"

……

Cao Sheng was surprised that Huang Qingya came to see him again.

Then he remembered that the last time she left, she seemed to have said that she would help him deliver the membership card of the Writers Association in a few days.

Are you sending me a membership card today?

With these questions in mind, he walked up to Huang Qingya with a smile, "Sister Huang, are you here to give me the certificate?"

Huang Qingya pushed the glasses on her nose and nodded with a smile, "Yes! We agreed on that last time! I have urged you to get the certificate these few days, otherwise you will have to wait a few more days for it to come out."

As she spoke, she lowered her head, opened her handbag, took out a green-covered membership certificate and handed it to Cao Sheng.

This was the first time Cao Sheng had seen this thing.

He immediately took it and said, "Thank you for taking the trouble to come again. Thank you very much!"

Huang Qingya smiled as she watched Cao Sheng looking down at the certificate and jokingly said, "If you really want to thank me, why not treat me to a meal? It just so happens that I haven't had dinner yet!"

Cao Sheng looked up at her and said with a smile, "What's wrong with that? It's my honor to have dinner with a beauty like you. Shall we go out and find a restaurant?" Huang Qingya was indeed very beautiful.

Especially her peach-like figure, which was very attractive to him.

Huang Qingya smiled and nodded, "Okay! Then I won't be polite."

Cao Sheng: “Let’s go!”

So, the two of them walked out of the school gate together. When they left, Huang Qingya took her bicycle, but did not ride it. Instead, she pushed the bicycle and walked side by side with Cao Sheng.

This scene attracted a lot of attention along the way.

Handsome men and beautiful women always attract attention.

Cao Sheng was handsome to begin with. After he became famous and had money, his clothes also became more upscale. The saying "fame brings good fortune" was also reflected in him.

Coupled with the mature temperament of a reborn person, he would attract attention when walking alone on campus. What's more, today there is a peach-like Huang Qingya beside him?
Huang Qingya not only has a good figure and good looks, but also wears gold-rimmed glasses. She is both sexy and bookish. Not only do the boys on campus like to look at her, but the girls can't help but glance at her.

Walking out of the school gate, Cao Sheng frowned.

Because he suddenly remembered that there were no high-end restaurants near the school gate. The hotels and restaurants nearby mainly serve students, and the most common ones are food stalls. The highest-end one should be Huizhou People's House, but the quality of Huizhou People's House is just so-so, and they still take the economical and affordable route. There are always oil stains on the tables, and the sound insulation of the private rooms is also very poor. Although the food tastes good, it is not exquisite.

He felt it was not appropriate to take Huang Qingya to a place like that for dinner.

However, some restaurants with a certain level of class and fame, such as Laojie Yilou, Zhuangyuan Yijia, Tianranju... are all some distance away from their school.

"Sister Huang, let's take a taxi, shall we? Just lock your bike on the side of the road."

After a brief hesitation, Cao Sheng and Huang Qingya made a suggestion.

Huang Qingya blinked. "Take a taxi? Where do you want to treat me to a meal?"

Cao Sheng: "How about the first floor of Old Street?"

Huang Qingya nodded. "That place is nice, but it's quite expensive. You're still a student, why don't you just find a small restaurant nearby? Don't spend money!"

Cao Sheng laughed, "It's okay! Although I'm still a student, I'm not a poor student anymore. Let's go! Lock the car on the side of the road and we'll take a taxi."

As he was about to hail a taxi on the roadside, Huang Qingya stopped him, "Hey! Forget it, don't take a taxi! Why waste that money? Can you ride a bike? If you can, just ride my bike and take me there!"

Ok?
Cao Sheng looked back in surprise.

A moment later, he rode Huang Qingya's bicycle. Huang Qingya sat on the back seat, with a pair of white jade arms around his waist, her chest pressed against his back. They walked away in the sunset.

Cao Sheng felt that the dinner tonight was worth it.

When they arrived at the place and got off the car, Huang Qingya blushed a little and was too embarrassed to look Cao Sheng in the eye.

It was not until the food and wine were served and they both drank a few glasses of wine that she regained her composure.

Then we talked about Cao Sheng's works.

Huang Qingya: "I've finished reading your book "Living with a Flight Attendant" a long time ago. I bought a copy specially to read it. It's really touching, especially when Ran Jing died. I felt my heart was broken and I couldn't stop crying. How could you be so cruel to write Ran Jing to death? Can't there be a happy ending?"

Cao Sheng chuckled, "You can't blame me for this. It's you young literary people who like this kind of work. I'm just catering to your preferences."

Huang Qingya rolled her eyes at him and said, "You're talking nonsense! Who told you that we literary youths like this kind of work?"

Cao Sheng asked back: "So you don't like this book?"

Huang Qingya: “…”

After a moment of silence, she nodded helplessly, "Okay! I do like your book. Now that I think about it, if Ran Jing hadn't died, I would definitely not have been moved to tears when I read this book."

Then she talked about Cao Sheng's "I Want to Become an Immortal".

"By the way, I recently read the latest chapter of your book "I Want to Become an Immortal" under the banyan tree. This book is so special that I can't believe you also wrote it. It is so different from your previous book. How did you come up with this story?"

……

With food, wine and endless common topics to talk about, they finished a whole bottle of red wine without realizing it.

It was fine while she was drinking, but when she paid the bill and came out of the store, Huang Qingya was staggering and could hardly stand when the night wind outside blew.
