The gentle breeze blows through the willows, and the fragrance of flowers is intoxicating. It is the spring season in southern China.
On Ximen Street in Fuzhou Prefecture, the bluestone road stretches straight out and leads directly to Ximen.
In front of a magnificent mansion, a two-foot-high flagpole is erected on the two stone altars on the left and right. A green flag is flying on the top of the pole. The yellow silk thread on the right flag is embroidered with a majestic lion with teeth and claws. The flag
Blowing with the wind, the lion appears more vigorous and alive
Wang Pu lit up a cigarette out of habit and scanned the text displayed on the screen line by line.
Unlike many online readers who are accustomed to reading ten lines at a time, Wang Pu often reads books very carefully, especially the opening chapter of a new book.
Because he believes that the opening chapter can reflect an author's skill. If the opening chapter is good enough, then you will have the confidence to keep reading. If the beginning is nonsense, then there is no need to waste time.
This can be regarded as Lao Bai's sorrow. If you are a novice reader, you don't care at all. If you have a good appetite, you can eat anything.
Unlike many Lao Bai who have a sense of superiority, Wang Pu will not be sarcastic towards Xiaobai readers, because Lao Bai himself came from Xiaobai. Instead, he will envy the latter for having many books that they can read.
And without the support of a large number of novice readers, online writing would not have developed to the scale it is today.
The opening chapter of "The Swordsman" gave Wang Pu a very good feeling. It didn't involve the routine of time-traveling, reincarnation, cheating and cheating with golden fingers. It didn't look like a very traditional style either. The writing was excellent and the words could catch people's attention.
.
Most importantly, there are basically no typos.
This made Wang Pu feel very comfortable and gave him a reason to continue reading.
As the reading gradually deepened, Wang Pu found that the "jianghu" described in the book gave him a very fresh feeling. Although it did not have any dynastic background, it was completely different from the imperial dynasties in popular fantasy novels.
It feels like reading an unofficial vernacular novel.
Unknowingly, Wang Pu was drawn in, and his mood fluctuated with the experiences of the protagonist Lin Pingzhi, until the appearance of "Brother Linghu" in the mouth of the little nun Yilin.
This style of painting is wrong!
This long narration vividly shows the image of a brave and resourceful knight. It is so gripping that people can't help but marvel at it. It looks like the protagonist.
In comparison, the previous protagonist Lin Pingzhi is really far behind!
It’s a big no-no if the supporting characters are far more outstanding than the protagonists!
Wang Pu couldn't help but worry, not knowing what would happen next. However, just when he saw the itchy spot, he was shocked to find that the back was gone.
No more? How could it be no more?
It hasn't been updated yet.
"Fuck!"
Wang Pu couldn't help but curse out, but the cigarette butt in his mouth fell down along with the long ash, and fell right on his pants.
"Fuck! Fuck!"
Wang Pu hurriedly slapped it a few times. Fortunately, the cigarette butt had been extinguished long ago and his pants were not burned.
"What are you looking at? Are you so excited?"
The "great god" sitting next door looked over and asked curiously.
Wang Pu shook his pants and said with a smile: "This is a novel written by a great master. Do you want to read it?"
The "Great God" shrugged, looking uninterested as he only liked playing games.
"It's so boring to read novels. Come play "Fairy and Demons" with me. It's very fun. I'll take you!"
Wang Pu glanced at his screen with disdain and said: "It's another free online game that cheats money. I won't be fooled, and I don't have that much energy."
Wang Pu has played several online games before, all of which are said to be free but actually cannot be played without spending money. He is not like a "great god" who makes money by playing games, so how can he have the time and energy to abuse them?
Wang Pu ignored the "great master" again. He turned his attention back to this new book and left a message in the comment area: "Great book, please update it. I will definitely order it all after it is released!"
He thought for a while, then gritted his teeth and ordered a reward of 588 reading coins!
Although this amount of reading money is not much, it is really not easy for Wang Pu, an old white reader. His family background is ordinary, and he has to send money back every month while working in Jiangcheng.
Full subscription of genuine works is Wang Pu's greatest support for the author. Usually, he seldom rewards unless he comes across a work he really likes.
He likes the first tens of thousands words of this book "The Swordsman" very much.
In addition to leaving messages for rewards, Wang Pu also went to the group to promote: "The book "The Swordsman" recommended by the old bookworm is really good. I recommend it based on my personal review!"
The response from the group members was quick.
"Give me a link and I'll go take a look. If it doesn't look good, I'll come back and shoot Lao Wang to death!"
"I just read it, and it's quite good. I feel that the style is obviously leaning towards physical publishing."
"I don't like this subject matter. I gave up after reading it for a while."
"No Xiaobai, no Xiaobai. It's a bit too traditional, and I don't like it very much."
"I am very optimistic about this book. The author is very capable!"
“Same recommendation”
There are many people in the group who have read the book "The Swordsman" because of the recommendation of old bookworms. Some like it and some don't, but overall the positive comments outweigh the negative ones.
This is already not easy for the old white readers who are hard to understand!
Wang Pu was not satisfied. He believed that this book should be strongly supported, so he went to other reader groups and reading forums to recommend this book to other book friends.
The statistics of "Swordsman" in Inspur Reading are very bleak. There are no contracts for 60,000 to 70,000 words. The editor must have made a mistake. Wang Pu didn't want a good book to be buried.
Many capable authors were discouraged and gave up because of poor performance. Wang Pu did not want to see the author named "Recalling the Past and the Past" suffer the same fate.
He even wanted to persuade the other party to change the book station to distribute books. If the east is not bright, the west is bright!
Thanks to Wang Pu's efforts in recommending "The Swordsman", the number of "Swordsman" in Inspur Reading has increased significantly. Clicks, recommendations and collections have all increased, especially collections, which have quickly increased from dozens to more than two hundred.
.
Correspondingly, there have been more comments in the book review area, and several readers have given rewards and support.
Although compared to the popular new books on the website, this achievement is insignificant, but compared with the previous dismal results, it is undoubtedly a bit bitter-sweet.
It's just that at this moment, Lu Chen has not tasted this taste. He and Filia Chen secretly went to a local movie theater in Jinling to watch his first movie.
The name of this movie is Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.——

Note: Part of the content is excerpted from Jin Yong's "The Swordsman". In addition, I would like to explain that the book is copied to create an IP plan for the protagonist and to serve in film and television dramas, so I won't spend too much pen and ink on it. You don't have to worry about this book.
It becomes a flow of copying books. (To be continued.)
