America 1869: A Doppelganger Every Day

Chapter 107 Golden Crow? Superman! The Gilded Age

Li Changsheng was certain: this famous American writer had become his fan!

Having finally met an American fan, Li Changsheng naturally wanted to treat him well.

Moreover, the other party is a well-known writer. If I can influence him to incorporate some Chinese elements into his works, it will be of great benefit to promoting Chinese culture.

So Li Changsheng invited Mark Twain to lunch, and then started chatting with him before the food was served.

"This latest invention research? I do have some ideas, but there's no finished product yet."

"However, I can tell you about the plot of my new book, Golden Crow. After all, the new book is already finished and is currently being serialized."

"As I said at the beginning of the story, the ancient war between the witches and demons almost wiped out the ancient divine beast Golden Crow clan."

"Later, the last remaining little golden crow was defeated by the goddess Nuwa and became her disciple. The little golden crow then established its own dojo."

"And naturally, someone needs to help manage everything in the dojo."

"As a disciple of the goddess Nuwa, he chose the human race created by Nuwa."

"In this process, the Golden Crow and a human woman mated, giving rise to the Golden Crow clan."

"Although this race is also called the Golden Crow Clan, it should be more accurately called the Golden Crow Human Clan."

"Originally, the Golden Crow humans would not intermarry, since strictly speaking, they are all brothers and sisters."

O

"But there is a country on this continent called the Kingdom of Women."

"The river in the Kingdom of Women is called the Mother-Child River. Drinking it will allow you to conceive and give birth."

"In order to ensure the continuation of their race, the women of the Golden Crow clan gave birth to their children using the water of the Zimu River, thus forming the third generation of the Golden Crow clan."

"These humans are born with the abilities of the Golden Crow. As the incarnation of the sun, the Golden Crow not only has the ability to shoot rays from its eyes, but also possesses great endurance, strength, speed, and even its defense and healing speed are extremely powerful."

"His every breath is like a solar particle explosion; if he wanted to, he could blow out a hurricane."

"His gaze is like sunlight; even in a closed room, as long as a little light shines through, he can see what is hidden inside."

"His hearing is so abnormal that he can hear any sound on a planet, even telegrams and telephone calls."

"Moreover, as the offspring of a god and a human, he was born with the ability to fly and survive in the universe."

"Most importantly, he can become stronger just by sunbathing."

"The third generation of the Golden Crow race all remained in the Earthly Immortal Realm when the three realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man were divided."

"Some even remained in the celestial realm."

"However, their descendants were not capable enough to meet the standards of becoming immortals, so they were all left in the human world and various other worlds."

"Every world has its place to live."

"And in this universe we live in, there is such a planet where the Golden Crow people live."

"When the protagonist's parents sensed that the planet was about to explode, they prepared their newly developed escape pod for their son."

"The other Golden Crow Clan members believed it and left in their spaceships."

Those who do not believe will remain on the planet.

"As a result, not long after the protagonist's parents took him away from the planet, the planet exploded."

"A large number of Golden Crow people died as a result, and the lucky ones survived and wander in the universe."

"Our protagonist accidentally triggered a cosmic wormhole, traversed countless galaxies, and landed on Earth."

"This is the background of the story. It hasn't been serialized yet, but it will be revealed little by little as it's serialized later."

.

Mark Twain said excitedly.

"Wonderful, truly wonderful."

"Your story is clearly a fusion of your translations of the Eastern masterpieces Investiture of the Gods and Journey to the West."

"You adapted this new story based on these two ancient myths."

"I believe it will get even more exciting from here on out."

Li Changsheng also smiled and said.

"I also think the later parts are very exciting, after all, this is the first time I have tried to combine mythology with modern times."

"So far, the response seems pretty good, but it remains to be seen whether even more people will like it as the story unfolds."

"I just heard Mr. Qingfu say, 'Sir, your new book is finished. I wonder if you would like my Huamei Weekly to serialize it for you?'"

"If your story is compelling enough, I believe it can be serialized in my newspaper in multiple countries."

"Although the price isn't too high during the serialization phase, if it's successful, I believe you'll receive a large sum of royalties after the book is published."

Mark Twain solemnly took out a stack of manuscripts from his pocket and placed them on the table.

"Li, I came to you because I want my book translated into multiple languages. I am very confident in my book. If you can serialize it in other countries, I believe many people will be interested, and it can then be published in other countries."

Li Changsheng took the manuscript and looked at the four big characters "Gilded Era" on it, and immediately realized that he had struck gold.

The serialization of this book will definitely cause a huge sensation, make your newspaper more popular, and make you more money.

At the same time, once the serialization is nearly complete, publishing the book will significantly boost sales.

This is another considerable income for me.

After all, although Li Changsheng had not read the book, he had heard of it.

In his previous life in a parallel world, he knew about this book, not because he had read it, but because he had seen clips of the TV series of the same name.

I've seen reviews of this book in the comments section.

The comments section says this book is one that influenced an era in America.

It is also a book that has given rise to the name of the next era.

Because starting this year, America has truly entered the Gilded Age, also known as the Golden Age by capitalists.

This book is considered the beginning or prelude to the Gilded Age.

It was precisely this that vividly exposed the corruption and greed of American capital, leading to the complete outbreak of this recently emerging economic crisis.

Once this book is serialized, published, and even achieves a certain sales volume, it will inevitably attract more writers to submit their work.

Prior to this, the Huamei Weekly and Huamei Daily, in addition to serializing Li Changsheng's own works, also serialized some of his alternate works.

These clones are also well-known authors in other countries.

However, the clones were only responsible for writing the books. For a short period of time, these authors did not appear because Li Changsheng had not yet figured out which clone to assign these titles to.

He was also thinking that he would assign these author titles to his clones when he had enough space to manage them.

The huge sales of the Chinese American Weekly and Chinese American Daily in recent years have nothing to do with the works serialized in them.

Even Li Changsheng's works are not actually read by many people.

What truly attracted these people were the prophetic messages published in the Chinese American Weekly and the latest developments from around the world.

Other newspapers can't get this latest news; only the Chinese American Weekly can.

While this is an advantage, it also requires a large number of clones to work together.

If we can break through this barrier, then we can reduce the amount of information in this area in the future and mainly serialize works by well-known authors.

Just as Li Changsheng had predicted, the book caused quite a stir when it appeared in the Huamei Weekly.

The economic downturn has already forced some businesses to cut costs and exploit their workers.

As a result, after reading this book, these workers are now unwilling to take on work that is not their responsibility, and unwilling to overwork themselves.

A sentiment of strikes and confrontation began to grow.

At the same time, Li Changsheng's clone, Bickley, also began to take action in the Far East.
