《Supreme Grandpa 》Chapter 33: Editor
Advertisement
At Runningnovel, an editor in charge was sitting in front of the computer while rubbing his eyes tiredly from time to time.
"When will this type of shameless writer disappear from the surface of the planet? On the first day of publication, there are only 20,000 words, but he gifted himself a 10,000-dollar reward?"
This editor was currently on the page of "Battle Through the Paradise".
After seeing this book on the list, he was dumbfounded instantly. Whether it was from the title or the introduction, this thing did not seem to be a subject that could catch fire.
According to the style of the works on Runningnovel, the name of each book was very exquisite. Generally speaking, it was like "The Strongest Swordsman", "I Found a Tier 7 Cheat Book at the Beginning", "I Can Practice Martial Arts Even Lying Down", "My Sister is the Grandmaster", and so on.
Only with this kind of title that allowed readers to see the highlights of this book at a glance, and what the core content was about, would others click into it.
And the facts had proved that it was true. The best-selling list of the Runningnovel website was full of such content.
As for the synopsis or something, the protagonist must be written in a blast at the beginning.
For example:
1: After looking at the most difficult technique in the entire martial arts world for a while, he decided to choose it. Unexpectedly, in less than 20 days, he had become a master of power from an ordinary person! For Gang Richuan, a hidden genius, practicing any technique was common as eating and drinking.
2: Wang Liu suddenly arrived in the world of martial arts and inexplicably became a three-year-old genius child. To boot up his luck, he found a top-level secret book at the beginning.
He knew medical skills, knew the art of war, knew how to create strategy, knew martial arts, and knew everything.
3: When he woke up, he found that his master had been promoted to the Grandmaster.
In the beginning, he just wanted to work hard to be a big disciple, eat and wait to die. But then, he accidentally became a peerless expert under the care of his master, and finally stood on top of the world.
In the concept of synopsis, only these kinds of brief introductions were the version that the website should have.
"Look at the introduction of this book. This world is dominated by Fighting Spirit, there is no martial arts, no magic, only Fighting Spirit that has multiplied to the peak? What the hell is this Fighting Spirit? Also, according to this meaning, Fighting Spirit is multiplied? Battle Through the Paradise, does it mean that it is a novel that relies on some kind of awesome power to multiply wildly, and finally, pierce the sky and arrive at the paradise?"

He just wanted to complain and complain wildly at that!
However, after thinking of this, the editor's pupils shrank slightly, "Damn it, this shouldn't be a 'great spring book, right? If that's the case, the trouble will be big! I'll take a look and condemn it in advance..."
The Runningnovel website had always severely punished against 'spring book'. If the author under the editor's name wrote pornography, the editor would also be jointly and severally liable. He had been fined several times, and he did not want to be scammed again.
With that, he opened the first chapter.
"Hmm, what's this about? Why is it so different from the synopsis? Why is the protagonist trash at the beginning? Why are the side characters so strong?"
As he read through, he began to frown and mutter to himself from time to time. If not for fear of being deducted, he would definitely press the exit button on the spot.
"Huh…"
It was just that, as he got more and more involved, his expression, from displeasure and contempt at the beginning, slowly became serious. Then serious, and finally, his breathing began to increase.
One page!
Two pages!
Three pages!
"Whoa, this scene is so damn good. Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west, don't bully the hero and deceive the poor! This Nalan bitch is too much! Slap her on the face, immediately use that old grandfather to beat her!"
The editor was so fascinated to the point that he couldn't help but yell excitedly.
Quickly, he clicked the mouse again, wanting to see the content of the next chapter.
"Sorry, this is the last chapter, please vote for the author to support him!"
As he saw this line of words, this editor instantly became unhappy, as if halfway through, the other party suddenly said, "Can it get up? If it doesn't work, I'm going to sleep!"
He felt that a foul breath was in his heart and it couldn't be sent out no matter what.
"Damn, why didn't this guy upload more? Only 20,000 characters were uploaded on the first day, are you a human or not? Can't you update more?"
He cursed fiercely.
However, after he finished scolding this sentence, he found that something was wrong again. Didn't he just complain about this book? Wasn't he looking for pornography? Wasn't he preparing to criticize the author?
The plot of this novel had nothing to do with his favorite martial arts at all. It was obviously a brand-new worldview and a brand-new setting, but why did it, for some reason, look so cool and so exciting?

Maybe, it was going to be a big fire?
Such an idea suddenly appeared. As a senior editor of Runningnovel, even though he was biased, he was still quite professional. He had read countless books, and his tastes were also very unique.
Although the title of the book "Battle Through the Paradise" was rubbish, the introduction was too low, the plot was so special. The more he read it, the more he wanted to see more. Was this book a drug? If not, how could it make people so obsessed with it?
"Maybe, this book can become a big hit! With its current style, it will usher in a new era of online writing."
The editor murmured, and at the same time opened the book review area. After all, to measure the quality of a book, in addition to the collection and recommendation votes, the most important thing was what other readers thought. The role of the book review area was very crucial for a book.
"Is this author poisoned? What kind of writing style is this? What the fuck is Dou Qi? Will there be Leg Qi and Horse Qi as well? Rubbish, I better go read other martial arts books! This book will be bombed out to the 'slump area' for sure!"
This was the most popular comment, with 188 likes and 53 replies under that.
If before, the editor might have agreed with this comment. But now, he thought this book friend was likely to be slapped in the face.
"What kind of junk book is this? Even a shit in it doesn't make sense! Someone even gave a reward? Damn!"
"Damn, this book is too rubbish."
"Junk book! With just the title alone, it makes me have a stomachache. I shouldn't be wasting my time here. There is something wrong with the person who rewarded it."
"It's great to have money, it can make me happy!"
"No way, I want to report it! It's too shameless!"
The first few book reviews were all about cursing the author. However, when the editor continued to look, he gradually discovered that occasionally several other reviews appeared in the curse.
"Doesn't anyone find out that this book is really unique? The author's writing style is very cool! Author, please update it soon!"
"I'm kneeling to beg the author to update more!"
"Kill that woman! She must be killed!"
"My review can be summed up in one phrase, the Book of God!"
Of course, under these well-written book reviews, it was natural that some book friends scolded them as a tribute. The scolding was horrible, but after reading it, the editor's eyes were getting brighter.
"Those fans only read the introduction and the title of the book, but didn't read the content at all! This book really has the potential to become a big hit! Let's contact the author first to sign."
In the background of the website, the author only left a number.
After that, the editor added that number and sent a message.
"Here."
After he sent such a word, he leaned on the chair and waited patiently!
As the editor of Runningnovel, he naturally had a sense of pride. According to his usual habit, as long as he sent a word 'Here', the authors would see it, and they would definitely reply instantly.
However! One minute has passed, two minutes passed, and five minutes had passed. On the other side, there was no answer at all!
...
When Yang Haodong sat in front of the computer in his office, he was also very dazed.
"How long have I just published the book, and someone has already rewarded me 10,000 dollars? If this continues, when some wealthy warriors see it, won't they reward me with various resources? This is a good opportunity to get rich."
After thinking of this, Yang Haodong immediately became motivated.
Clatter, clatter…
With his two hands, ten fingers, and combined with the concentration of a martial artist, his speed of typing became as fast as a missile. The sound of typing on the keyboard resembled the sound of rain in this office. As for the fact that the editor had just added him as a friend and sent him a "here", he ignored him.
"This kind of person is the most disgusting! What do you mean by 'here'? Do you think you're great just because you're an editor?"
Yang Haodong was speechless!
