FWTS Chapter 137

 "Scared shitless! So many tycoons!"

"I dare not refresh, as soon as I do, a long list of Alliance Masters pops up!"

"Not just a long list, you could practically turn the page!"

"Haha, all the front row seats are taken by usernames from the 'Not' series!"

"Haha! I just want to ask, what's with 'Not but is'?"

"And 'Not because lonely but miss you'!"

"These guys are clearly up to something! Is this some game to guess which celebrity you are?"

"Not celebrities, they're all from the Sky Tycoon group!"

"I mean, what does 'Not a valid Win32 application, how to solve' mean? Why do I feel like my brain isn't enough?"

"You don't understand the world of tycoons!"

"Or maybe there's a traitor among the tycoons, haha!"

...

The comments section of Hou Muyun's new book "Nine Heavens" was even more lively. The rate at which comments were increasing seemed explosive, with over 100,000 discussions in just a few minutes!

Absolutely mind-blowing!

...

The Dragon Sky Forum was also exploding.

"One minute, a hundred Alliances! I have to ask, who else?"

"Exploded! Eight hundred Alliances in ten minutes for Yunhou's new book!"

"Damn, is this a direct challenge for the supreme position by the strongest dark horse of the year?"

"So scary! Is this pace aiming for a million Alliances?!"

"Yunhou is destined to become a legend in the online literary world!"

"This reminds me of that article 'Feasibility of Internet Celebrities Making Millions by Writing Novels'. I just want to ask, which internet celebrity has this kind of appeal?"

"Eight hundred Alliances in ten minutes means at least eight hundred thousand Huaxia Coins! Can anyone tell me how much this is equivalent to the appearance fee of a third-tier celebrity?"

"Appearance fee? Forget third-tier, even some second-tier celebrities don't have this kind of price for a year of endorsements!"

"I heard that Fan Ye's appearance fee is 60,000 per minute! When I first saw the news, I thought it was outrageously expensive and prestigious! But now, looking at Yunhou's momentum... Although it's because of the release of a new book, it also shows his popularity!"

"Envious!"

"Even envy can't bring it! Setting aside Yunhou's other identities, just in terms of novels, he absolutely deserves this treatment! At first, when I saw him live and all the fights and appearances on programs, I thought he was just a publicity stunt and felt disgusted. But after reading his books, especially 'Sword Master Chronicles', I was completely convinced. In fact, every writer is somewhat arrogant, regardless of how much income they have. IP hype doesn't necessarily impress, but what ultimately makes you respect is the author's unique and decisive style!"

"Just finished reading the teaser! It brought both immediate shock and endless imagination and imagery. This writing prowess is undeniable!"

"After 'Master of Xuan Yuan Sword' became popular, there were quite a few imitations and follow-ups. The followers might have some small success, but none of the imitators survived! Aside from the creativity and plot arrangements, writing prowess is definitely the most important factor!"

"Those who imitate me live, those who resemble me die!"

"Twelve hundred Alliance Masters!"

"Am I the only one who noticed that there are so many Alliance Masters but not a single one is a millionaire? Even those in the front row are stuck at just over nine hundred thousand followers!"

"Yeah, it's kind of eerie! Normally, by this time, not only millionaires but even ten millionaires would have appeared!"

"It's spooky!"

...

"I'm not refreshing anymore, I'm going to sleep! I'll watch the live broadcast when I wake up!"

"I want to sleep, but damn it, how can I sleep!"

"Ah, it seems like no one in the online literary world is sleeping tonight!"

...

Whether or not no one was sleeping, Hou Muyun slept quite well.

He knew that the Sky group had organized an "activity," claiming it was to stir up some excitement. Hou Muyun understood their intentions and naturally couldn't stop them. To be somewhat pretentious, he was afraid of dampening everyone's enthusiasm. However, he had also mentioned to the administrators several times not to spend too extravagantly.

Subsequently, the website also reached an agreement with the Sky group that no single reward before going live would exceed one million. It was rare that everyone cooperated well.

Hou Muyun naturally refreshed a few times at midnight and knew there would be many Alliance Masters, but he didn't expect so many.

The next morning, when he woke up, the number of Alliance Masters had already surpassed the 2000 mark! Additionally, Hou Muyun noticed that his points had increased more than before yesterday, probably due to the new book release. His current points had accumulated to 310,000 after these days. Checking the location of the package, after several days of consumption, some timed skill cards had been used, freeing up two slots. He hadn't drawn any cards yet and planned to wait until the end of the noon live broadcast of the new book release before deciding. He had some preparations to do in the morning.

After getting up, he went to the studio and spent some time updating the main text of "Master of Xuan Yuan Sword" with five chapters. As for the manga, there were still two episodes in stock. Then he began to organize the things needed for the new book release event. After having an early lunch, he entered the live broadcast room at exactly twelve o'clock.

"Hello, everyone! First of all, I want to thank everyone for their support for the new book!"

"Today's live broadcast, as many friends may know, is considered a new book release event. Although it's called a new book release event, it's actually just a chat with everyone. There are some things about the new book and some questions that you may be interested in, as well as some news I want to share with you."

"Oh, by the way, I'm sure someone will ask where I am right now, right? It's not the place I stayed in Rui City, nor is it a hotel in various cities. It's actually a music studio I'm setting up. Hmm, that's one of the messages I want to share with you. After this music studio is established, it will mainly facilitate writing and recording songs in the future. Didn't many people suggest that I set music to some of the lyrics and titles? I'll do that here in the future, and I'll try to get it done and show it to you as soon as possible."

"Let's talk about the new book now."

"First, the most concerned issue for everyone, updates. During the public period, it will be 50 days, and I'll try to update three times a day, which is about 500,000 words per upload. I actually wanted the public period to be a bit longer, but obviously, no one wants me to have only three updates a day. It should be on the shelves in March, and after that, the updates will naturally increase. I won't say how many updates there will be, but I can promise that the update volume for the first month on the shelves will not be less than 1 million words!"

"About the new book 'Nine Heavens'..."

In the following live broadcast, Hou Muyun chatted about many things related to the new book without spoilers. He also showcased the manga illustrations of the characters and some scene drawings that would appear in the early stages of the book, and eventually they would all be signed and given away as prizes. Additionally, he announced that the manga would begin updating a week later. He also talked about his old books, stating that the second spin-off would begin updating today, and the manga version of "Sword Master Chronicles" would also begin serialization today.

Next, of course, he couldn't avoid the topic of the TV drama "Master of Xuan Yuan Sword." He confirmed some of the online rumors related to himself, such as being a screenwriter and investor, while debunking some untrue rumors. As for other rumors, Hou Muyun naturally did not mention them.

...

Hou Muyun rarely talked so much with netizens, except for the New Year's Eve last time. Usually, during live broadcasts, he rarely interacted with netizens, so this kind of chatting was definitely unusual and somewhat uncomfortable.

"Let me take you on a tour of the studio. It's still under preparation and a bit messy, feel free to look around."

Hou Muyun switched the live broadcast to his phone and led everyone around. When they arrived at the rehearsal room, he smiled and said, "The live broadcast time is almost up. I'll sing two songs for you and then go update the chapters."

He set up his phone.

"Two songs, both written recently, and both related to the novels. They haven't been recorded yet, so just listen casually."

"The first song, 'Sword Heart,' was specially written for the plot of 'Seeking the Sword' in 'Master of Xuan Yuan Sword.'"

"The second song, 'Flowers Blooming Slowly on the Side of the Road,' I'm sure everyone knows who it's written for, right?"

"I know that in 'Sword Master Chronicles,' everyone was deeply affected by Mo Huan's death. It's not that I'm cruel, I'm also very reluctant. Although I'm the author, don't laugh at me, but some characters I can't control. If I controlled her, she wouldn't be the Mo Huan you all love so much. Just like her name, flowers bloom slowly on the side of the road, but she returns slowly. For us, the most beautiful thing is to wait for her to come back slowly when the flowers bloom, and for her, the most beautiful thing is to always be on the road!"
