My Life Reset Simulator - Chapter 6

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Xu Yuan exclaimed that the idea of writing online novels was excellent! In an instant, he even thought of a pen name.

“I should be Mr. Shu !” Xu Yuan wrote these words on the paper in satisfaction, which was his pen name from the original world.

After all, Lei Yong entrapped Xu Yuan, not Mr. Shu. Online novels that were separated by a screen provided another kind of protection for Xu Yuan.

Once the direction was determined, he should determine the subject.

There were many types of online novels, such as science, military, tomb-robbing, farming and some other kinds. There were so many choices, which made Xu Yuan hesitate.

He first ruled out science or military fiction.

The main reason was that the audience for these two subjects was relatively small, and they were very professional. Although Xu Yuan had talents and could write really fast, there was too much information that needed to be looked up in the early stages of these two subjects. It really did not meet the need to earn quick money.

The subjects of tomb-robbing and farming were not bad but it was very difficult to make a stir with one book. It might take several years of continuous writing to get results.

However, Xu Yuan did not have so much time to waste there. After all, this unreliable system would end at any time, voluntarily or passively.

It was not a good thing for Xu Yuan if it would take him a lot of time.

The more important thing was that Xu Yuan discovered that some online novels of the two worlds were connected. Every time he thought of a suitable subject, he would search online to avoid being sued for plagiarism.

Unknowingly, Xu Yuan kept busy from 9 pm to 12 pm, but he still could not find a suitable subject.

He pinched the space between his eyebrows tiredly and felt kind of frustrated.

Even if Xu Yuan had opened his eyes a little earlier, he could have continued to write original articles in the parallel world instead of considering the unfamiliar and somehow familiar way of online novels.

The author who should have been in high spirits was now sitting in front of the table, struggling to find a different path. What a pity.

Xu Yuan let out a long sigh and said, “I am so unlucky.”

He suddenly had an inspiration and stood up. The stool suffered too much force and fell straight down.

“Bang!”

The wooden stool smashed onto the floor. The sound was particularly clear in the quiet night, causing the neighbor downstairs to curse in dissatisfaction.

“What are you doing not sleeping at night? Busy hanging yourself? Do it quietly!”

The place he rented was filled with all kinds of people. It just so happened that the person downstairs was the one who liked to scold harshly.

However, Xu Yuan was not angry at all. The sentence that he was muttering to himself just now suddenly gave him inspiration. It reminded him of a very popular Fantasy in the original world “Battle Through the Heavens”.

He quickly searched, and his fingertips were almost rubbing sparks on the keyboard. He discovered that this article did not exist in the parallel world!

Table would turn so one had to be humble. What a well-known saying.

Wasn’t it the current situation of Xu Yuan?

Xu Yuan had become famous at a young age. Originally, he had a bright future, but now, he was cheated into signing a contract to sell himself to Lei Yong and earn money for others. His life was also in Lei Yong’s hands. His life, which had just begun to improve, was about to fall to the bottom.

The main character in the book, Xiao Yan, was in the same situation. He was praised by the clan as a genius but then became a loser. He was even humiliated by his fiancee publicly breaking off the engagement and was laughed at by everyone.

However, Xiao Yan did not become depressed because of this. He made a three-year promise. Then he met his mentor by chance. After training hard, he finally returned to his peak.

Table would definitely turn.

Xu Yuan slapped the table and cheered up. He felt his blood boiling and his entire body filled with energy.

What was even more amazing was that Xu Yuan simply went through Netland and found that the subject of fantasy had a wide audience. There were a lot of articles, which could make the readers’ eyes dazzle, but very few of them were top-notch.

Perhaps because this subject was an old one, most of the authors followed the template step by step. He found few new ideas.

This kind of market environment was just right for “Battle Through the Heavens” to enter.

After all, in the original world, the final draft of “Battle Through the Heavens” had more than five million words. In the three years of serialization, it had received 130 million hits, and its cumulative sales had exceeded three million copies!

Until now, there had been very few novels that had broken this record.

However, because it was a novel with a million words, which was too long, it was criticized by the readers for its poor writing style.

Now, in the parallel world, with the bonus of the talent [Fountain of Ideas], Xu Yuan could be optimized on the basis of the original text.

After all, the content itself was very topical, so it didn’t need too much embellishment. Xu Yuan was very confident that as long as it was published, it would definitely be popular!

“But isn’t five million words a little bit too much?” Xu Yuan wrote down the number on the paper and found that there were six zeros behind it!

He picked up the cup of water and silently calculated the amount. Just take it as if the duration of his stay was one month. Five million words divided by thirty would be a hundred thousand words, which meant that he had to write a hundred thousand words per day!

“What the f*ck?” He almost choked to death on his own water. “Holy sh*t! I can’t even finish with eight arms!”

Although he liked “Battle Through the Heavens” very much, he had to cut out some of the contents in order to prevent himself from being exhausted to death. Fortunately, the early part of the original article was very attractive to readers.

He only needed to speed up the pace a little and leave some interesting jokes about Hai Bodong and others.

Enough jokes could trigger the discussion of the readers, making it convenient for the second spread and saving a lot of effort for Xu Yuan.

The most important thing was that with fans, Xu Yuan could turn the article into intellectual property, games, movies, and television copyright, which all would benefit him.

This would definitely make Xu Yuan earn money when just lying in the bed.

Xu Yuan nodded his head in satisfaction. Although before that, he had to work hard as a bee. As long as he did not die from writing, he would write until he died!

He walked to the window and took a deep breath, suppressing his upset feeling. Without any delay, Xu Yuan immediately started writing. First, he tried to finish the outline of “Battle Through the Heavens”.

The first three chapters were the key to attracting readers. The main character, Xiao Yan, had inexplicably become a loser from a genius, which set the suspense. Although he had been looked down upon, he still had the gentle and kind childhood sweetheart, Xiao Xuner with him.

Originally, he thought that life would continue to be so mediocre. He never expected that his arrogant and cold fiancee, Nalan Yanran, would come and break off the engagement. Nalan Yanran acted rashly and relied on the faction of the Misty Cloud sect behind her to forcefully break off the engagement without giving the Xiao clan any face. With great anger, Xiao Yan directly divorced his wife and made a three-year promise!

Lines of words seemed to have been prepared in Xu Yuan’s mind long ago, waiting to be printed with both hands of him. The monotonous keyboard sound was like a piece of simple music, sounding alone in the quiet night.

When the sun was about to come out, Xu Yuan stopped writing and sat on the chair to stretch.

After completing the first three chapters, he opened the largest and most-visited Netland, took two minutes to register an author account, and sent out all three chapters at once. Then he just started to wait for feedback from readers.
