After the college entrance exam, he began to become a male god of extraction.

Xia Qingyun had a good memory, so she repeated Old Xia's words to Xu Qin verbatim.

"Tell your dad that I thank your uncle for pointing out my mistake.

"Okay, I'll tell him later."

Xu Qin made a few notes.

For example: a sense of national and global responsibility.

He thought this made sense because the science fiction works he had been reading recently were all famous works, and many of them conveyed certain emotions, including national and familial love, friendship, or noble emotions such as sacrificing oneself for righteousness.

At first, Xu Qin thought these emotions were pretentious and incomprehensible to someone like him who was used to the simple and straightforward pleasure of online novels.

Because of the online novels he had read before, such as harem novels where the protagonist could trade cryptocurrencies every day, or novels that focused on fighting and killing from beginning to end.

But now Xu Qin is targeting published literature, which is a completely different style of writing from online novels, and the readers are not the same group.

For example, published literature is something that high-ranking officials like Xia Qingyun's father would read, but online novels are unlikely to be read by Old Xia, unless they are very well written and historically accurate.

"Take your time... but how many words do I need to write for this book?"

Xu Qin thought for a moment, "Let's start with 200,000 words!"

Two hundred thousand words is quite a lot; even if you write ten thousand words a day, it would still take twenty days.

This is Xu Qin's initial plan. If any new ideas emerge later, he may write more.

Moreover, if it becomes popular, they can continue writing a second or third part after the first one is finished; many people do this.

Xu Qin opened the science fiction channel of Chiyu Forum, preparing to release his new book.

Book title: The First Year of Xincheng.

There's no real importance to the title of a book. Anyone who frequently reads published books knows that some titles have little to no connection to the content, or even any relation at all. They're not the same as online novels, and give the impression that they were just titles written by a pretentious intellectual on a whim.

However, the title of the book "Xu Qin" is indeed related to its content. "First Year" refers to the first year of a new era, which begins in the new city.

summary of the story:

"There was a collapse in a place on the outskirts of the new city. Someone discovered that it was an ancient tomb and reported it. But for some reason, something extraordinary was found, and the area was quickly surrounded by the army."

Immediately afterwards, an archaeological team arrived. This team entered the ancient tomb and, through a mysterious passage, arrived in a world with a technological level far more advanced than Earth. There, they met an exceptionally handsome man.

Later, it was learned that this was Chi Yu, the imperial deity and general from the Longhan era.

According to the "Biography of Chi Yu": Chi Yu was the brother-in-law of Emperor Xuanwu. He was over eight feet two inches tall, with a magnificent appearance, tall and brave, and his demeanor was unlike that of an ordinary person...

In summary: Chi Yu is a handsome guy who is 1.9 meters tall.

A few minutes later, Xu Qin submitted the article to his homepage.

It's already past 11 p.m., and no one is reviewing it anymore. I can only wait until tomorrow for it to be approved.

So Xu Qin simply went to sleep.

The next day came quickly.

Xu Qin finished washing up and eating at 10 a.m. and sat down in front of the computer.

"New City Year One" has been approved.

Collections: 1166.

Comments: 325.

"Huh? Such a good start?"

Xu Qin was a little surprised, after all, the review was only approved at eight o'clock, and it had only been two hours since then.

I think it's probably due to the popularity brought by the previous book.

Xu Qin opened the comments section.

"The author's opening is great; it feels like a huge improvement over the first book."

"This opening is very engaging and makes you want to keep watching."

"The author is actually a student from Chi University?"

"He wrote at the beginning that he has been admitted to Chi University and officially updated his academic qualifications and school information, so the author has just graduated from high school. This level is promising, let's look forward to it."

"Where are the people who said the author couldn't even get into a junior college? Speak up!"

In the Chiyu Forum, academic qualifications and the level of the institution are highly valuable. If your academic qualifications are too low or your institution is not prestigious, it will be difficult to get by.

Now that Xu Qin is wearing the golden badge of a bachelor's degree from Chida University, he is truly as rich and powerful as a dragon, and no one can look down on him because of his academic qualifications or the university he attended.

Xu Qin glanced at the comments briefly, then focused on exercising and reading.

He felt he was becoming somewhat addicted to reading.

Reading is actually a very boring thing, unless the book can make you feel really good. But Xu Qin reads hard science fiction, which is hard to say how good it is. Especially since the published literature is full of literary youths, it's hard to say what kind of stupid plots they can write.

However, Xu Qin is different. Now, with the added advantage of "textual affinity", Xu Qin will receive obvious "positive feedback" whenever he reads a book. With positive feedback, he will naturally get hooked.

Because reading books can rapidly improve one's skills.

Around 3 PM, Xu Qin started typing.

More than 10,000 words in two hours.

Xu Qin's progress is evident in the changes between the lines, most directly in his improved writing skills, which have become more concise.

"If reading books can make me improve, maybe my book will actually become a hit?"

Xu Qin's writing style is so engaging that it allows him to reach the level of an "excellent writer." It would be truly unreasonable if an excellent writer couldn't produce a best-selling work.

What happens if I become famous?

If it becomes popular, sell the copyright.

When it comes to copyright, Chiyu Forum gives authors a lot of freedom. Unless you sign a contract with the forum and pay for a membership, the copyright of the book is entirely under the author's control.

If you sign a contract with the forum, the forum will give you greater and more exposure.

Furthermore, if your book becomes a hit, the forum will connect you with major publishing houses and film and television companies to help your book generate greater revenue. In this case, the copyright will be jointly managed.

These are two paths. Generally speaking, top writers take the first path, while those at the middle and lower levels take the second.

However, most great writers start from the second type and only choose the first type after they become famous, because the copyright of the first type is in the hands of the writer, who can freely dispose of the copyright of his work.

Therefore, the Chiyu Forum offers a high degree of freedom.

The reason is quite simple: Chiyu Forum has many profit models, and the revenue from the literature section is negligible compared to the overall income of Chiyu Forum.

Otherwise, how could Chiyu Forum be valued at over 500 billion? It can't be supported by just one literature section.

At 8 p.m., Xu Qin finished his dinner and then checked the data on the forum.

Collections: 8663.

Comments: 1269.

Ten hours later, the data had increased significantly.

"This book is going to be a hit. The author's imagination is beginning to show. However, I personally feel that the author's imagination needs to be further explored. He gives me the feeling that he is brewing something big. Keep up the good work, author. It's just that the writing style is still a bit lacking."

"This author's imagination is truly impressive. As for their writing style, I'd say they're at a mid-level for this forum. But is this author a prospective college student? If so, the quality of this book is truly a gift from heaven!"

……

Besides numerous positive reviews, Xu Qin discovered that the book had also received some donations, with the total amount shown in the backend exceeding 1300.

The amount isn't large, but it's only for one day.

Returning to the homepage, Xu Qin refreshed the page and discovered a recent notification he had missed.

The signing announcement came directly from the forum.

"Should we sign a contract?"
