Huayu: Were you ever a top star before writing nonsense?

Chapter 189 A Novel Within a Novel, Are You Really Writing It?

In the early morning, the damp, cold air carried the chill of early winter, and the wind felt like a knife scraping against the face.

Shanghai, editorial department of Dianzian.com (Shanghai).

Qin Shu walked gracefully towards her workstation. Her colleagues, who were already seated, cast envious and jealous glances at her.

A person's fate can change in an instant. Thanks to signing Shen Can's contract, Qin Shu now not only receives a high salary every month, but is also the "lucky charm" that Boss Wu often talks about.

Nowadays, the number of paying users on Diaanniang.com is growing rapidly every day, and more and more authors are joining Diaanniang.com.

The entire website presents a vibrant and thriving scene.

The reason for this huge change was that Qin Shu signed Shen Can's novel.

"Sister Shushu, please let me pray."

Qin Shu walked to her workstation and was about to sit down when He Jiang, a new intern in the editorial department, immediately stopped her.

Before she could speak, He Jiang, who came from the Chaoshan region, put his hands together and bowed to her with the same devotion as if worshipping a Buddha.

Qin Shu: "————"

The art style is really weird.

I always feel like I'm being treated like a "lucky cat".

According to He Jiang, it's about "praying to the koi fish to sign a good fortune," and she also hopes for wealth from all directions and great success.

Are you saying that everyone in the Chaoshan region is so superstitious? Even girls believe in it?

Qin Shu looked at her other colleagues in the office and saw that some of them were also eager to try.

I was speechless.

Of course, if she were in someone else's shoes, she would probably also want to offer a prayer and try her luck with the superstition, hoping to have some good fortune.

The online novel editing industry is sometimes very luck-dependent. Some books may seem ordinary at the beginning, but they have great potential and can become hit books.

Some books start off amazingly, but then fall flat after a short while.

"What did you wish for yesterday?" Qin Shu asked curiously.

According to He Jiang, you shouldn't ask her about the wishes she made today, because they won't come true if you tell her. But you can ask her about the wishes she made yesterday, because they've expired.

He Jiang was a pretty girl with a slender figure. She pursed her lips slightly and said, "Yesterday—oh, I remember now, I signed a book the day before yesterday. The book is called 'Warcraft Sword Saint's Interdimensional Adventures.' I wish this book would be a big seller."

The author of this book is Tiancan Tudou. Although his writing style is immature and not as good as Shen Can's, I feel that he has a bit of talent and can be given a chance.

He's quite a funny person; he said he was influenced by Shen Can to come up with the idea of ​​starting a book called "Dian Niang".

Qin Shu smiled and nodded.

This is not surprising.

As Shen Can's novel "The All-Round Artist" becomes increasingly popular, many people have developed a dream of becoming online novel authors under Shen Can's influence.

However, most of them were learning from Shen Can to write urban entertainment system novels.

Simply put, it's following the trend.

Others have integrated the system into other genres, such as fantasy, martial arts, and supernatural.

Before *The Omnipotent Artist*, novels involving systems on Diaoniang.com were usually *Infinite Flow* novels, a genre pioneered by zhttty's *Infinite Terror*.

Shen Can was the first author to use a system as a cheat code, and he pushed system novels to unimaginable heights. Therefore, he is also known as the "Grandmaster of System Novels".

This man is always good at forging new paths.

After chatting with He Jiang for a few minutes, Qin Shu plopped down at her workstation.

Turn on your computer, open the editing backend, and open QQ.

Suddenly, the QQ avatar started moving, causing her pupils to contract.

It's Shen Can's QQ avatar that's flashing!

His QQ profile picture is very simple, just a cartoon gray raccoon.

But Qin Shu felt as if she were being electrocuted.

Shen Can is a cold and aloof male god. Under normal circumstances, he will not take the initiative to contact her. Once he does contact her, it must be something important.

Qin Shu opened the message and instantly perked up.

really.

The next second, Qin Shu suddenly stood up from her chair, her eyes wide and her mouth agape, her enormous breasts heaving.

"A slight smile is captivating!" Qin Shu's breathing became rapid.

As Shen Can's editor, she also checks the updates of "The All-Round Artist" every day.

Naturally, the protagonist already knew that in the novel, he had already published the novel on a novel website.

She had also wondered if Shen Can would actually write this novel into a real-life story.

It is indeed quite outrageous.

However, given Shen Can's practice of creating songs from the novel, it doesn't seem like a difficult thing for him to write a novel within a novel.

At this moment, Qin Shu was filled with shock. Imagining it was one thing, but actually writing it down was another.

Other people can just write whatever comes to mind when writing this kind of plot, but you actually wrote it?

Dude, is this right?!

When Qin Shu's colleagues in the office saw what she was doing, they all stood up and gathered around her.

In an instant, everyone's eyes widened.

Holy crap!!

"He really wrote Weiwei into the story!"

"Which author is like him? It's outrageous!"

"This author is so dedicated!"

'

"Awesome."

66

""

Colleagues were not only shocked, but also envious.

Shen Can is about to release a new book, which means Qin Shu is about to sign another blockbuster novel.

Given the popularity of "The All-Round Artist," it's almost a certainty that "Love O2O" will become a hit novel.

The mere fact that Shen Can wrote a novel within a novel is enough to make countless readers willing to click on the novel and try it out.

Qin Shu sat back down in her chair and checked the other messages Shen Can had sent.

"We will continue with the same collaboration model as 'The All-Round Artist,' with the copyright belonging to me and a 90/10 split. If you agree, please mail the contract to the Shanghai Theatre Academy as soon as possible."

send!

What are you sending?

Would sending it there be enough to showcase Dianniang's city? Would she still be able to meet up with her senior brother?

"I'll make the trip myself." Qin Shu replied to Shen Can with a happy expression, then got up and walked quickly toward the editor-in-chief's office, completely ignoring the fact that her chest was jiggling as she walked, a truly spectacular sight.

As the editors watched Qin Shu's retreating figure, they couldn't help but exclaim, "Damn, what luck—she truly deserves to be called a lucky charm!"

"I want to slap myself twice. Back then, I said Shen Can's 'The All-Round Artist' was nonsense, and I missed out on a fortune."

"That's fate."

""

He Jiang looked at Qin Shu, took a deep breath, and thought to himself, "She's so glamorous."

As an intern editor, she had very few book signing opportunities.

"Potatoes, potatoes, can you please do me a favor and let me be this glamorous too?" He Jiang thought again.

Shanghai Theatre Academy.

Shen Can was in class; after all, he was still a student.

-

However, anyone who has been to university knows that it's impossible for a mature college student not to slack off in class.

At this very moment, Shen Can is slacking off—chatting with someone via text message.

In the era of feature phones, there wasn't much fun that mobile phones could offer.

But today is different.

The person he was chatting with was Liu Yifei.

Hmm, it's probably her.

This woman is only two years older than him, but she's still his older sister.

According to her own account, she revealed her identity to Li Jinming and then obtained her contact information.

Shen Can felt that it was time to give Li Jinming a lesson on telecom fraud prevention. He shouldn't believe everything he was told; what if he was a fraudster?

Is it impossible for Liu Yifei to lie to you?

I'd rather be Qin Shi Huang.

"Really? I don't believe it. I'm not sure if you believe me. Prove that you are my beloved fairy."

On the other end of the phone, Liu Yifei was fuming, her fists clenched tightly.

This person keeps calling her "my beloved fairy," but when the real person actually comes to him, he has to provide proof himself.

Liu Yifei: "How can you prove it? I'll call you, and you can hear my voice."

Shen Can: "Please don't, I'm in class right now, it's not convenient for me to answer the phone."

"What should we do then?"

"That's your problem to consider; I'm only responsible for setting the questions. For your answer just now, I can only give you 82 points, because I already have the remaining 18 points."

Liu Yifei:

"————"

18?

What a mess.

Liu Yifei wasn't going to waste time chatting with Shen Can anymore and went straight to the point: "I've read your novel. Let's make a deal. Could you please not write any romantic scenes between the main character and Shen Xiaoli? I'll give you a Gold Alliance Master title, okay?"

Shen Can narrowed his eyes as he read the text message.

Could it really be Liu Yifei?

If it really is her, this mother and daughter are quite interesting.

Heavenly Fairy Mom: Don't write about my daughter.

Fairy: Don't write about my mother.

Tactical lean back, what kind of taboo literature is this?

Although Liu Yifei was criticized for looking like a "flower blooming" when she laughed, her face is still very striking.

"Are you really Liu Yifei?" Shen Can asked.

Liu Yifei: "It really is me."

"You actually read my novel?"

"Hey, didn't expect that, did you?"

"No, I just thought of that book review: 'How big is your psychological trauma?'"

"It's a big deal, about what I just mentioned—"

"Oh, we'll talk about that later. I haven't planned out the main character's romantic storyline yet."

"I like single female leads. I really like the romance between the protagonist and Jiang Wanning in your novel."

"But many readers want me to create a harem and want to see the main character's romantic relationships with Shen Xiaoli and An Feng."

"They're mother and daughter, how could you write that? Isn't that immoral?"

"Then I'll only write about An Feng."

"No way. I haven't even settled accounts with you yet, how can you just use my name?"

"Parallel universe, sister. Besides, you're not using that name anymore, so why don't you let me use it?"

"Um???"

"Let me ask you a question: If you and your mother both fell into the water, who would you want me to save?"

"...

."

Liu Yifei sent a long string of exclamation marks.

Her anxiety finally subsided; Shen Can's "excitement" wasn't an act, and his mental state was genuinely beautiful.

Throughout the entire class, Shen Can chatted with Liu Yifei via text message, or rather, teased Liu Yifei.

To be fair, this girl is indeed quite naive, perhaps because she has been well protected.

Meeting an "uncle" like Shen Can, who has "seen it all," is like a little rabbit entering a tiger's den.

After finishing all his classes in the morning, Shen Can prepared to leave the school and return to his rented apartment.

Considering he was already a multi-millionaire, he planned to talk to the landlord to see if he could buy the house outright.

In 2007, you didn't need to worry about losing money after buying a house in Shanghai. As long as the location was right, you could buy it blindly.

Even if they move in the future, it will be easy to find a buyer to take over the property.

As for my work going forward, it's quite simple.

First, the production of the music video for "If the Moon Has Not Yet Come".

Secondly, there is another commercial performance before the end of the month.

Thirdly, the novel "Love O2O" was released.

Fourthly, the audition for Chinese Paladin 3.

Although the role of "Xu Changqing" had already been decided with Tangren Media, Cai Yinong still wanted him to try on the costume.

"Could it be that Director Li Guoli is not confident in my acting skills?" Shen Can wondered to himself.

He didn't know the specifics, but he would deal with it as it came.

Shen Can was walking on the campus road. Since he wasn't wearing a mask, many people on campus frequently cast glances at him as he walked.

"It's Brother Chan."

"Our top male actor from the Shanghai Theatre Academy."

"Shen Can is becoming more and more popular."

"How can someone be so awesome?"

"I miss the days when Shen Can lived on campus; I could see him every day back then."

'

The students at the Shanghai Theatre Academy genuinely admired him, their eyes shining as they looked at Shen Can.

Many students couldn't understand how Shen Can, who was busy writing novels, attending classes, and creating songs every day, could so easily produce hit songs.

What exactly is his brain made of?

Will his talent never run dry?

He's cheating, isn't he?

Now, anyone can see all kinds of news about Shen Can online as long as they go online.

About his music, about his novels, even about who he confessed to and who he confronted.

Even some official media outlets have mentioned him.

There's no way around it; there are just too many people who fawn over foreign things these days, even many celebrities. They all try to establish themselves as public intellectuals, but they're always insecure when it comes to the West, always saying that the moon is rounder abroad.

Since a patriot has finally emerged, it's natural to use him as a role model.

When Shen Can reached the school gate, he put on a mask.

His eyes caught sight of a familiar figure—the editor, [Ruthless].

A pretty young woman with a good figure was holding a file folder tightly in her hand and holding a mobile phone as if she was about to make a call.

Shen Can walked towards her.

"You've worked hard. Would you like to grab a milk tea together?" Shen Can said to Qin Shu with a smile.

Qin Shu looked at him, her eyes smiling.

"Love O2O" is scheduled to be officially released at noon on the 27th.

This novel is not long, with a total of about 15 words.

After discussing it with Qin Shu, Shen Can set the word count for the first 10 words to be published as a paid chapter, which is 5 words.

However, he doesn't expect this novel to earn much in subscription fees on Diaoniang; his focus is on IP development.

He intends to exploit this novel extensively.

The announcement of Shen Can's new book immediately ignited a sea of ​​excitement among fans, with countless people expressing their anticipation.

"I knew it! Shen Can spent so much time writing about 'Love O2O' in 'The All-Round Artist,' he would definitely write about it."

A blockbuster masterpiece is coming soon!

"The romance between Bei Weiwei and Xiao Nai in 'The All-Round Artist' is making me smile like a proud auntie, I can't wait to see it!"

"To be honest, I'm already looking forward to Weiwei's TV series."

"6

"Hahaha, could we have Tianxian's mom play Bei Weiwei, Shen Can play Xiao Nai, and Liu Yifei play Bei Weiwei's roommate Zhao Erxi?"

"Damn, your words disgust me. Have you been corrupted by Shen Can too? Have you become unclean? Tianxian Ma plays Bei Weiwei, and Zhao Erxi watches her dating Shen Can? I can't believe you even came up with that idea!"

"Shen Can, hurry up and get 'Dreaming of Jianghu' done."

"You mean you want to play the games from the novel? Damn, that's a tongue twister."

"This is the most outrageous novelist I've ever seen. He's really planning to release all the works in his novels. That's awesome!"
