Chapter 34 Genius
Liu Yuan was taken aback when the word "fantasy" appeared.
Xu An continued, "Traditional fantasy martial arts often draw heavily on mythological systems, and many of the background stories and other elements incorporate folk myths and legends."
"Covering the Sky" is based on a fictional world, integrating elements of immortals, martial arts, supernatural powers, alien races, and the laws of heaven and earth. It does not strictly adhere to reality or copy traditional immortals and heroes, but fully unleashes the imagination of fantasy.
"Fantasy, where you create your own realms, cultivation methods, races, and the vast world."
"Compared to the fixed magic, knights, dwarves, elves, and medieval worldview of Western fantasy."
"Fantasy can be understood as a fictional world where everything is created by oneself, a brand new world with extraordinary power."
"It's not impossible for a strong person to shatter the void with a flick of their finger and become the master of the universe."
"Therefore, I think fantasy is a more suitable genre for 'Covering the Sky'."
The fans sitting below are mostly people who enjoy reading novels.
Everyone was stunned by Xu An's "fantasy theory".
Only those who enjoy reading novels and have read many novels can understand the shock value of Xu An's "fantasy theory".
The live stream chat has been flooded with comments from countless netizens.
Smart people can already imagine that the Endpoint Novel Network will definitely open a new fantasy category, which will surely attract many authors.
The era of great strife, created by Xu An, has quietly begun at this moment.
The symposium is still in progress.
After the fans at the scene asked questions, Xu An looked at the live broadcast screen and then answered the questions from the fans in the live broadcast room.
At the beginning, there were all sorts of problems.
Ask about the creation of "Covering the Sky," the subsequent plot, and Xu An's criteria for choosing a partner.
Later on, many fans in the live stream asked how to write a good "fantasy" story, and what the essential elements of a "fantasy" story are.
Until one o'clock.
This marked the official end of the symposium.
The fans left the venue in an orderly manner under the guidance of the staff.
The two-day event has now come to an end.
Xu An breathed a sigh of relief, having not worked at this intensity for a long time.
After that, the head of the editorial department called me into his office to discuss the "fantasy" matter in detail.
...
"The ocean is no match for a river" means I watched the entire live stream.
He wanted to see what kind of person could write "Covering the Sky" and break the records for first-day subscriptions and average subscriptions in the online novel circle as a newcomer.
Even though Xu An mentioned him halfway through, which made him very upset, he still managed not to leave the live stream.
He was completely convinced after seeing Xu An's theory of "fantasy".
Having cultivated the "Western fantasy" genre for so many years, he is well aware that "Western fantasy" is a foreign culture.
"Fantasy" is different; it is another category that extends from local cultures such as Xianxia (fantasy martial arts).
As a veteran author, you can say he's proud, old, and ugly, but you absolutely cannot say he doesn't understand online novels.
He has an extraordinary sensitivity to online literature.
When Xu An uttered the word "fantasy," he knew that online literature was about to undergo a major transformation.
Or rather, because of Xu An, online literature is about to see the rise of a completely new major category.
"I have to admit, this kid is truly a genius..."
On the Sky Forum.
Xu An's theory of "fantasy" has become a hit.
Countless people are discussing fantasy and how to write fantasy novels.
This is a completely new track, and currently only Xu An is on it. It is foreseeable that countless authors will flock to this track in the future. As long as they write something that becomes a hit, it will be a game-changer.
Who knows, he might even earn the title of a fantasy master in the future.
Xu An is trending again.
This time, however, it became a hit in the online literature community.
Xu An's theory of "fantasy" directly and violently bombarded the entire online literature circle.
Countless authors and readers are discussing it.
......
The event concluded successfully.
We said goodbye to Manager Zheng and the others.
Xu An took out his phone to contact Zhao Chuan, and saw a friend request.
He clicked on it and thought it was someone else, but it turned out to be Chen Xiaoyu.
Looking at the message on her friend request, Xu An couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Click "Reject" decisively.
If nothing unexpected happens, he will never have any contact with this kind of woman again in his life.
After contacting Zhao Chuan and arranging a time and place, Xu An walked alone along the riverbank.
As December approaches, the weather in Jiangdu is gloomy and carries the unique coolness of Jiangdu.
Xu An tightened his clothes, cleared his mind, and walked forward aimlessly.
There weren't many people on the street, perhaps because it was cold and no one wanted to go out for a walk.
My phone suddenly rang.
When Xu An took it out and looked at it, the caller surprised him slightly.
Press the connect button.
A clear female voice immediately came from the phone's receiver.
"Mr. Xu, are you done with your work?"
Xu An couldn't help but chuckle at Zhang Leyao's self-reference: "Finished with work."
"Are you free tonight?" Zhang Leyao asked.
Xu An hesitated.
Zhang Leyao, sitting opposite, immediately felt anxious. "Hey, Xu An, you're not going to stand me up, are you? I've already booked the restaurant."
Hearing her call him by his name directly, instead of calling him "brother" anymore.
Xu An knew she was anxious.
"I have plans tonight. If you don't mind, you can come with me," Xu An said.
Hearing the first half of the sentence, Zhang Leyao was a little angry, but when she heard the second half, her anger immediately subsided.
"Would it be convenient for me to go with you?" Zhang Leyao asked hesitantly.
"What's inconvenient about this? It's just having a meal with my top-ranked rich fan," Xu An said.
"Oh, okay, then I'll cancel the hotel reservation?" Zhang Leyao said tentatively in a low voice.
"Go ahead and quit. What time do you get off work?" Xu An asked.
"Can I leave work early tonight? Six o'clock is fine?" Zhang Leyao asked.
"Okay, I'll send you the address later, you can just take a taxi there," Xu An said.
"OK."
hang up the phone.
Xu An continued walking aimlessly along the riverbank.
While staying in Jiangdu, he had never been able to clear his mind like this, walking slowly and appreciating all the scenery along the way.
In order to make a living, he moved too fast, so fast that he never had a chance to stop.
If people move too fast, they will miss many beautiful moments in life.
Sometimes, slowing down—not just in terms of pace, but also in terms of mindset—may reveal many of the beauty and opportunities hidden in everyday life.
This era is a wide and broad road, with many cars running on it. However, most people are on a bus without brakes, constantly moving forward, while the passengers inside can only sit there.
Through the car window, you might occasionally catch a glimpse of something beautiful.
But more often than not, you find yourself helplessly moving forward until you reach the final stop and get off...
Zhang Leyao stood in front of the mirror, applied some lipstick, turned around, picked up her bag, and prepared to leave. As soon as she turned her head, she saw Sister Li standing next to her.
"Sister Li, I'm going to leave work now," she said.
Sister Li smiled at her and said, "Go ahead, go ahead."
Zhang Leyao's cheeks flushed slightly under Sister Li's gaze, and she hurriedly left as if fleeing.
"I wonder which guy it is that Le Yao has taken a liking to."
