After the college entrance examination, life began to follow one's heart

Chapter 100: Rong Xiyan’s new friend? Is the novel going to be streamed on short videos?

There were quite a lot of people at this comic exhibition at the convention center, and it was full of heads at a glance.

No matter what, Jiangdu is a big city.

Comic conventions in big cities like this usually attract a lot of people.

Rong Xiyan and the others also arrived at their destination.

There were four other girls coming with Rong Xiyan, one of whom was her good friend from high school, Zhong Haohao.

The other three girls are named Xia Xiyao, Lei Luqi and Nie Xiaoju.

Rong Xiyan met them for the first time today. Among them, the girl named Xia Xiyao was the one Rong Xiyan talked to the most.

Xia Xiyao is very beautiful, about 1.73 meters tall, with a good figure, and is also a great beauty.

In addition, she has the style of a cool girl, with a brown baseball cap on her head, a necklace around her neck, a gray vest on her top, and black straight-leg overalls on her pants. The overall look gives people a cool feeling, especially the vest which shows off her perfect figure to the fullest.

At first, Rong Xiyan didn't want to interact with strangers, but after coming here and meeting Xia Xiyao, Rong Xiyan felt that this trip was not in vain.

Rong Xiyan has always been cautious about making friends, and not just anyone can become her friend. For example, Rong Xiyan did not play with Li Sinan and the other three in the dormitory.

However, sometimes, making friends can be very simple for Rong Xiyan. In her words, making friends is all about feeling.

For example, Xia Xiyao gave Rong Xiyan a very good first impression, so Rong Xiyan was willing to make friends with her.

Therefore, Rong Xiyan gained a lot from this trip.

At this time, Rong Xiyan looked at the huge crowds of cosplayers, among whom it seemed that all the popular characters from Chinese and Japanese comics as well as games could be seen. Moreover, as a large-scale comic exhibition in Jiangdu, there were also various famous cosplayers from all over the country coming.

However, Rong Xiyan is not very interested in cosplay. It's just that it's the weekend now, and someone like Rong Xiyan with few friends would be so bored if she stayed in the dormitory alone.

It just so happened that Jiangdu was hosting this large-scale comic exhibition.

She wanted to ask Xu Lin out last night, but Xu Lin didn't know what was good for him.

Ah!
Rong Xiyan felt that she would never ask Xu Lin out again in the future.

Xu Lin has been so fascinated by Ning Yuhan, a scheming girl, that he doesn't want to leave her anymore.

"Xia Xiyao, which characters do you like?"

Rong Xiyan said: "This is my first time at a comic convention."

"This is my second time going to a comic convention, and I think it's quite interesting!"

Xia Xiyao took off her baseball cap and smoothed her long hair, giving people a sense of charm.

"Then let's line up and go in!"

Rong Xiyan snapped her fingers.

However, just as Rong Xiyan and the others were queuing up, Rong Xiyan felt that she seemed to see a familiar figure.

"Huh? Did I read it wrong?"

Rong Xiyan once again looked carefully at the team in front.

Xu Lin?!
About ten meters ahead, Xu Lin was chatting with a girl while hugging her shoulders.

Rong Xiyan was too familiar with Xu Lin. With his height and figure, he definitely stood out from the crowd. And the girl he was hugging in his arms now, wasn’t she Ning Yuhan?
"What a piece of shit!"

"I asked him out but he refused, so he snuck over here with his girlfriend!"

"Pooh!"

Rong Xiyan was indignant, but then she thought, if he didn't come with his girlfriend, who else could he come with?
After all, people are full of contradictions, and Rong Xiyan is no exception.

"Rong Xiyan, what are you looking at?"

Xia Xiyao was curious and saw Rong Xiyan looking forward, as if she had discovered something.

"Nothing, I just saw a classmate."

"Where are you?"

Xia Xiyao asked casually.

Rong Xiyan pointed at Xu Lin in front of her, and then the four girls saw Xu Lin.

"Looking at the back, he looks very handsome!"

"The back view is really handsome!"

"Isn't that the Back Killer?"

Zhong Haohao and the other three girls discussed that Xu Lin's back was indeed good-looking, and he looked like a handsome guy at first glance.

However, as we all know, both boys and girls have killer backs. Some people look good from the back, but it’s a different story when they turn around.

Rong Xiyan shook her head and said, "No, my classmate is quite handsome."

At this moment, Xu Lin bent down and kissed Ning Yuhan, then turned to look towards the entrance of the convention and exhibition center, and his profile appeared in the sight of Xia Xiyao and the others.

"Oh! Xiyan, your classmate is so handsome?"

Zhong Haohao exclaimed.

Nie Xiaoju and Lei Luqi also said that Xu Lin was very handsome.

Although we can't see the whole face, a side profile is enough to explain the problem.

Xia Xiyao also said: "He is indeed quite handsome."

Nie Xiaoju said, "Yaoyao, this guy is already very handsome from the side!"

"Looking at his profile, this boy is indeed a handsome guy! Xiyao, you are asking too much!" Lei Luqi also said.

Xia Xiyao nodded without objecting.

Soon, people lined up and went in one after another.

The convention center was full of people wearing all kinds of cosplay. In Ning Yuhan's words, they were a group of people in strange costumes.

In addition, there are audiences like Xu Lin and others who come to the comic exhibition.

There are also many photographers with cameras everywhere taking pictures.

There were a lot of people at the comic convention, so Xu Lin hugged Ning Yuhan to prevent her from getting lost.

"Is it fun?"

Xu Lin asked Ning Yuhan.

Ning Yuhan shook her head. "It doesn't look very fun, and some of the girls seem to be wearing revealing clothes."

Ning Yuhan was talking about those girls who wore less clothes. For example, some character cosplays exposed the northern hemisphere, some were big, some were small. There were also some that exposed the southern hemisphere, such as the blackened Fate Lion King cosplay, which exposed the southern hemisphere.

As for dressing like this, it is actually normal at comic conventions. As long as you are not naked or involve any kind of suggestion, no one will care about these things at all.

Many people may not know that in some cities, adult exhibitions can also be held, and quite a lot of people go there. There are all kinds of adult products in them. Of course, this kind of exhibition cannot be promoted online, but it can be held in reality.

So what does the little bit of exposure at the comic convention count for?
However, Xu Lin doesn't like this circle because it is well known to be very chaotic.

Xu Lin smiled and said, "Let's just watch. Don't worry about these things. Look at those female internet celebrities. Aren't many of them posing coquettishly?"

"Uh-huh."

Ning Yuhan was silent for a while, then shook her head and said, "I don't like this."

"Then let's just take a walk and leave?"

"Uh-huh!"

Xu Lin took Ning Yuhan for a walk.

But after walking around for more than ten minutes, Xu Lin felt that it was just so-so.

This was his first time attending a comic convention.

Many boys come to comic conventions, and they are looking for all kinds of beauties, but the girls around Xu Lin are much prettier than these weirdos with makeup.

You have to know that most girls are just ordinary girls without makeup, and cosplay like this basically requires heavy makeup. With the help of makeup and outfit, girls with only 30% appearance can look 70% or 80% beautiful. How beautiful they are depends on how good their skills are.

This is the amazing thing about the four major evil spells in East Asia.

If your skin were whiter, you would be very nice. This is the reason why they say white skin can hide all ugliness.

Half an hour passed in a flash.

Xu Lin was preparing to leave with Ning Yuhan.

Just then, Xu Lin and his friends ran into Rong Xiyan and the other five girls.

In fact, Rong Xiyan did this on purpose.

The comic convention venue is so large and packed with people that it's basically shoulder to shoulder. If you don't pay attention, it's normal to pass by others without noticing.

"Xu Lin, didn't you say you wouldn't come today?"

Rong Xiyan folded her hands, looking very interested.

At the same time, her eyes fell on Ning Yuhan.

When Ning Yuhan is silent, his facial features are very heroic and intimidating.

"We're all ready to leave."

Xu Lin looked at the girls around Rong Xiyan and asked, "Are you here with your friends? Won't you introduce them to me?"

Zhong Haohao was the most lively, and without Rong Xiyan having to speak, she started introducing them: "Classmates, my name is Zhong Haohao, and this is Xia Xiyao, Lei Luqi, and Nie Xiaoju! The four of us are freshmen at Jiangdu Conservatory of Music!"

"My name is Xu Lin, Lin means handsome and elegant, and this is my girlfriend Ning Yuhan!"

"Hello, my name is Ning Yuhan!"

Ning Yuhan also responded politely.

"Xu Lin, are you ready to leave?"

Rong Xiyan asked hurriedly.

"Yes, we have to get busy."

Xu Lin chatted with the girls for a few minutes and then left with Ning Yuhan.

"Xiyan, your classmate's girlfriend is so beautiful!"

Seeing Xu Lin and the others leaving, Zhong Haohao couldn't help but say.

Lei Luqi was quite envious: "That girl is really beautiful, and she feels so oppressive. Her facial features feel so aggressive. I dream of looking like her! And she seems so elegant!"

"Let me look like this in my next life!" Nie Xiaoju couldn't help but say.

Zhong Haohao was also excited: "Xiyan, Yaoyao, this is the third time I've seen such beautiful girls. Oh my god, I envy you guys so much for your natural beauty!"

"That girl just now is really pretty, with very unique facial features."

Xia Xiyao thought about it.

She is similar to Rong Xiyan, with softer facial lines, unlike Ning Yuhan's very aggressive style. Not to mention that it is rare in real life, even on the screen, there are so many beautiful female stars, but there are very few beauties with very aggressive faces.

"That's all..."

Rong Xiyan murmured to herself. She was not convinced by Ning Yuhan and thought that Ning Yuhan was a thief. She had just put on her college uniform to show Xu Lin, and Ning Yuhan confessed to Xu Lin, and Xu Lin agreed.

Didn't he just agree without even knowing who Ning Yuhan was?
Rong Xiyan really didn't understand why Xu Lin could be so straightforward in his feelings. He seemed to agree just because she was a beautiful woman.

bother!
As if sensing Rong Xiyan's emotions, Xia Xiyao asked, "Rong Xiyan, what did you just say?"

"nothing."

Rong Xiyan shook her head slightly.

Xia Xiyao suddenly whispered, "Do you like that boy?"

Just now, Xia Xiyao could clearly feel Rong Xiyan's hostility towards Ning Yuhan.

A girl can be hostile to another girl for many reasons, or just a few.

And there was a boy there just now, and Rong Xiyan was hostile to Ning Yuhan, so the answer seemed very obvious.

"No."

Rong Xiyan shook her head again.

When Xia Xiyao saw Rong Xiyan's reaction, she knew that Rong Xiyan liked Xu Lin, or at least had a good impression of that boy.

However, Xia Xiyao didn't know Xu Lin either, after all, they had only met once.

As for Xu Lin, Xia Xiyao only thinks he is handsome.

So Xia Xiyao didn't ask any more questions.

Then the girls continued to visit the comic convention.

After Xu Lin and Ning Yuhan left the convention and exhibition center, they had lunch outside at noon.

It wasn’t a big feast, just a bowl of noodles per person.

But Xu Lin asked for five taels, a very large portion.

In the afternoon, Xu Lin took Ning Yuhan to the institution where her homework was to be corrected, also riding a shared bicycle.

Because there is no direct subway to this place, there are buses, but they are very troublesome.

Ning Yuhan used to take the bus there. The bus had a fixed route and stopped at every station. It took an hour to get from the University of Finance and Economics to the destination, and taking the bus was extremely uncomfortable.

Xu Lin took a shared bicycle and arrived in half an hour.

After arriving at the destination, the same boy from last time accompanied my girlfriend, but last time there were three boys, this time there were only two boys left.

Xu Lin was a little curious, so he casually asked the girl, "Classmate, where is your boyfriend?"

Last time, this brother had given Xu Lin some cigarettes and asked, "Brother, do you want to smoke Liqun?"

So Xu Lin had an impression of him, but Xu Lin didn't smoke.

"He's busy with other things!"

"Oh!"

Xu Lin suddenly understood.

The girl looked at Ning Yuhan and said to Xu Lin, "Classmate, your girlfriend is super good. Not only is she beautiful, but she's also a super nice person!"

"Thank you for the compliment!"

Xu Lin smiled.

At 2:30 in the afternoon, the homework correction began again.

Xu Lin was right beside Ning Yuhan, helping her correct her homework. It was a thick pile of homework, quite a lot.

In order to prevent his phone from running out of battery, Xu Lin bought a power bank from the Meiyajia store across the street.

Xu Lin played the game for a while and felt bored.

Then he opened the QQ.

The novel's editor, Ranzhi, sent a message.

"Mr. Xu, I'll start streaming the short video of 'My 26-Year-Old Maybach Lady' at 6:00 PM sharp. Let's see how it goes!"

"Your novel is so explosive! On our platform, the new book has already achieved significant results, and the short video streaming is likely to take off!"

Xu Lin looked at it for a while.

Curious: "What is the use of short video streaming?"

"Simply put, it's about attracting traffic. Mr. Xu, you should also know that this is the era of short videos and traffic. Whoever controls the traffic controls the future. Our online literature development is also keeping pace with the times. On the basis of high-quality books themselves, through attracting traffic, it is possible to take off. We previously had a book that attracted traffic very successfully through short videos. Now the author has become a great writer. Your book has achieved great success and is also very popular. Short video promotion is likely to be very successful!"

"Then I understand."

Now is the era of short videos, and all walks of life can no longer be separated from the Internet and short video ecosystem.

In an era where traffic is king, embracing traffic is equivalent to embracing the future. Besides, short videos have created too many myths.

"Mr. Xu, are you really not planning on making this book longer? A book of this level should be long!"

"I'm not interested in writing long. A few hundred thousand words is enough to show my point."

"Okay Mr. Xu! Grinning teeth.jpg"

There is no choice but to get involved.

What an awesome author, he is so willful.

Ranzhi: "Mr. Xu, as the editor-in-charge, I'm actually a fan of your book too. I love this book so much, and so do the hundreds of people in our editorial department. I'd like to ask for both me and them: does the heroine really exist? It feels so well written, so lifelike, as if she were right in front of me! (Grinning teeth.jpg×3)"

Mr. Xu: “She really exists!”

Xu Lin clicked on the small account.

Only accept daily settlement.

There was a lot of news coming from Asura and Shifang.

Both of them brought a manuscript, which was the manuscript that Xu Lin asked them to write last night.

Ashura: "Big man, please take a look! Even if I curse at you!"

Are you an M? Why are you still cursing?

Xu Lin took a glance.

Shifang: "Master, please give me some pointers. I will seriously learn from your opinions!"

Xu Lin opened the manuscripts one by one.

It didn't take long for Xu Lin to finish reading. He read very quickly and could tell the level of the work at a glance.

In fact, in Xu Lin’s opinion, both Shifang and Asura were not well written, but they were full of sincerity.

The number of words is quite high, with each person's manuscript having more than 20,000 words. Ashura has the most words, with more than 25,000, but less than 30,000.

Think about it, from last night till now, it’s only been a dozen hours, and this amount has already happened.

Moreover, the plot is not boring and there is a lot of useful information.

So, on the whole, both of them took it very seriously and it would not be said to be something written randomly.

Xu Lin feels that attitude is very important. When I speak, you have to listen, and after listening, you have to do it. This is crucial. If you listen but don’t do it, what’s the difference between that and not listening?
Xu Lin does this to make more money for himself, and at the same time, it will help them make progress and have a brighter future.

So it's a win-win situation.

The manuscript of Ashura takes place in a classroom. The protagonist Xu Lin, the villain Liu Longsheng, and the neutral Xie Zhengrong and Hu Donghai are forced to participate in a dangerous game, similar to Russian roulette. If you lose, you will die. So he added a few characters, including the clown who created the game, and passers-by who participated in the game with Xu Lin and others. At the beginning of the story, a person failed the game and was shot to death, creating a strong sense of crisis at the beginning.

Being able to create a strong sense of crisis is also a kind of writing style, like some awesome horror novels, which will send chills down your back and make you feel like there are many people walking around in the room. This is the author's strength.

Overall, Ashura is a talented writer with mature writing skills.

Shifang's manuscript takes place in a house. In addition to the four characters given to him by Xu Lin, Shifang also added some male and female characters. With more than 20,000 words, he created a very concise story with twists and turns again and again. It feels even more outrageous than "Thunderstorm", but his writing style is indeed very strong. Multi-level reversals also require very strong writing skills.

Although 20,000 to 30,000 words may not seem like a lot in online literature and only take a few minutes to read, in fact, this number of words already constitutes a complete story. In the past, martial arts novels had to be handwritten, and many of them only had tens of thousands of words. Hundreds of thousands of words took a long time to write, and handwriting might take one or two or three years. Moreover, typing on a computer allows for easy revisions, but you can imagine how troublesome it is to make revisions to handwritten text, and you don't know how much paper is wasted.

“My requirements are too high and they can’t write.”

Xu Lin was not very satisfied with the manuscript and originally wanted to pass it. However, Xu Lin thought about it and realized that his current level was equivalent to that of a doctor, while Asura Shifang and the others were just elementary and junior high school students. If he set too high requirements, these two people would not be able to write it.

Junior high school students don’t know advanced mathematics, right?
"Just one more small request!"

Xu Lin sent a message to Shifang: "Intensify the conflict. It's like being on the verge of flipping the table but holding back, as if it's about to explode completely in the next second."

Send to Ashura: "Strengthen the sense of crisis and make the conflict more intense."

These statements are actually quite general, but people at different levels can see different things.

As the saying goes, superior people don't need to be taught, average people can do it quickly, and inferior people can't do it even if they are taught.

The level of distinction here refers to people's understanding.

Ashura: "Got it! I'll change it right away!"

Shifang: "Thank you for the advice, Big Boss. I'll get busy now!"

The two then started chatting privately.

Shifang: "Have you received any news from the giant?"

Shifang also asked Xu Lin to copy the message to Asura.

Ashura: "I received it too. The message is this..."

Shifang: "What does this mean, Big Boss? Can we pass?"

Ashura: "I think we can pass. At least the big guy didn't deny us, but we have to fulfill his request!"

Shifang: "I think so too. Get it done before tonight!"

Ashura: "Charge!"
