Calls from major booksellers kept ringing, employees almost ran out, each busy to the point of confusion.
"Rising Dragon Bookstore wants to order another fifty thousand copies!"
"Four Seas Bookstore wants to order one hundred thousand copies!"
"Didn’t they just order one hundred thousand copies? Why are they ordering again?"
"They’re selling out too quickly!"
"All these calls are urging for more stock!"
"Even more popular than Chu Kuang’s previous novels!"
"The situation is different."
"This is Xian Yu’s first time on the author rankings, all based purely on one ’Xian Yu Anthology’. What a significant achievement!"
"After all, Chu Kuang wrote so many novels to achieve this ranking, Xian Yu’s side is clearly concentrated into essence."
The order volume from Silver Blue Books shows just how explosive the bookstores’ sales of ’Xian Yu Anthology’ are.
A student bursts into the room holding a pile of books, excitedly telling his roommates:
"The bookstore was packed, Daddy barely squeezed in."
"Let’s see how the writing is."
"Is there even a need to say? It’s amazingly written, I read it!"
"You’ve read it yet you asked me to bring it?"
"I only read the old edition, heard the new one added some works, that’s what I’m most looking forward to!"
"Then let’s read it together."
While chatting, everyone in the dormitory starts reading the ’Xian Yu Anthology’.
Someone screams: "Oh my gosh!"
The guy who bought the book is even more impressed: "What kind of divine poetry is this!?"
The guy who claimed to have read the old edition is so excited he’s shaking: "Masterpieces! Masterpieces! They’re all masterpieces! From now on, Xian Yu is my idol!"
Entertainment industry.
Including Yu Dynasty.
Several celebrities suddenly posted updates.
These updates mainly include pictures of them reading the ’Xian Yu Anthology’.
Of course, they are mostly staged shots.
"The sunlight is just right, perfect for reading ’Xian Yu Anthology’."
"Fans, my little cuties, you’ve all read this book, right?"
"In hand, the new edition of ’Xian Yu Anthology’."
"I love Teacher Admirable Fish’s line: ’One must reach the peak to view all the little mountains’."
"In the newly added works, there’s more than one classical composition, don’t just focus on the poetry, folks."
"In the new classical compositions, there’s a piece ’On Horses’, extremely brilliant!"
"What’s shabby about it? A great ’Ode to My Humble Abode’!"
"I always thought I was Teacher Admirable Fish’s music fan, today I realize I’m also his book fan, it’s written so well!"
All recommending it on social platforms.
Lin Yuan didn’t initiate anything.
This is the entertainment industry spontaneously recommending ’Xian Yu Anthology’!
Writers also fully read ’Xian Yu Anthology’.
The newly added articles left countless people in awe, Xian Yu’s literary style remains magnificent!
"A genius of world-shaking talent!"
"A character like a Poem Immortal!"
"A character like a Maestro!"
"Those articles are also perfectly crafted!"
"Deserving of being the man who wrote ’Song of Water’."
"People say heroes come from youth; I always thought this was inspirational for young people. Now I realize this is our lament of the older generation!"
"Just by this anthology alone, his literary talent could claim to be the best in the world today."
"Seems like the author rankings are still too low for him."
"This ranking will continue to rise soon."
"How can such a person exist in this world?"
Xian Yu’s ranking is about to rise!
This is the first reaction of countless readers after reading the new ’Xian Yu Anthology’.
And before the rankings rise.
The sensation brought by this book is far from over.
After most of the entertainment industry recommended this ’Xian Yu Anthology’ to readers.
Many top-tier Blue Star tycoons are also recommending this book!
Blue Star Rich List, several moguls spoke up:
"I think this is one of the must-read works in life."
"Suitable for recommending to people of all ages."
"Prefer Xian Yu’s articles, those classical compositions are charming, like ’Record of the Peach Blossom Spring’."
"Favorite is ’Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng’."
"It doesn’t contain business tips, but it does have realms of life."
"Not every book contains beauty like jade and houses of gold, but ’Xian Yu Anthology’ truly does."
"The best literary work."
"A poetry realm with no predecessors, a lyrics realm with no successors!"
People across many continents are shocked, Lin Yuan merely brings a part of Earth’s countless dazzling cultural treasures over thousands of years and it’s enough to shake this era!
The Blue Star author rankings start to change, seeing Xian Yu originally ranked eighth, charging forward forcefully.
Upon reaching sixth, Lin Yuan himself seemed to find it amusing.
Is this not stabbing oneself fiercely?
However, this isn’t the end.
Until the end of November, Xian Yu’s author ranking finally stabilized, staying at...
Chu Kuang, consequently, fell to seventh.
Faced with this scene, many netizens couldn’t help but chuckle intriguingly amidst the shock.
"Chu Kuang the old rascal worked so hard to reach sixth, and ends up being backstabbed by Xian Yu, falling to seventh."
"Fish Papa is too fierce!"
"Only third, I feel Xian Yu’s literary talent is already peerless worldwide."
"It truly is peerless literary talent, but the individuals on the author rankings are comprehensive, not just poetry, they’ve got to write novels too, and novels take the main factor, Xian Yu being able to reach third place solely with ’Xian Yu Anthology’ is already a very extravagant result."
"If these poems were Chu Kuang’s creations, then Chu Kuang the old rascal would be first now?"
"Certainly, but that’s impossible."
"Why don’t you say combine Chu Kuang’s novels with Xian Yu’s head?"
"Then Xian Yu could also climb to the top in an instant."
Lin Yuan looked at Xian Yu’s stable author ranking with a smile.
Xian Yu ranked third globally!
Chu Kuang ranked seventh globally!
If the two pen names were combined, Lin Yuan would instantly be first!
There’s no suspense about this!
Because compared to the authors ranking ahead, what Chu Kuang lacks is only literary quality.
The author rankings pay great attention to the influence of literary quality, Xian Yu ranks ahead of Chu Kuang precisely because of the literary quality of his works.
The rankings don’t only consider literary quality.
If the rankings only considered literary quality, Xian Yu should be first now.
Not being first evidently is because aside from literary quality, Xian Yu’s works are missing something.
What’s missing is novels.
After all, it’s an author ranking.
And contemporary understanding of authors is primarily about writing books.
No matter how strong the literary quality of poetry, it’s an undeniable fact that Xian Yu has never written novels.
If Xian Yu could write a few works like ’Siege’, charging to first should be no difficulty now.
What Chu Kuang lacks, Xian Yu has.
What Xian Yu lacks, Chu Kuang has.
No wonder netizens joke that combining Xian Yu and Chu Kuang would instantly rank first.
The two clearly have a relationship of complementing each other’s strengths.
It’s precisely because of this subtle scene that Lin Yuan suddenly foresees...
The day of Chu Kuang being exposed is drawing nearer.
However, what’s most needed to consider next isn’t the exposure issue.
Because Xian Yu’s personal music concert is about to begin!
The Golden Hall announced a message:
[December 12th, Xian Yu’s first symphony will be grandly performed, welcome individuals from all sectors to attend and enjoy!]
Music industry shock!
The youngest Maestro in Blue Star’s history, Xian Yu, ranked at the forefront in global music charts, is finally attempting a symphony!
ps: Haven’t updated for several days, too many physical issues, Polluted White’s situation in this aspect is somewhat known to old readers, saying too much seems like playing the victim, not mentioning feels like slacking, overall Polluted White’s body probably shares common topics with mosquitoes, fortunately today apart from the right ear being uncomfortable there’s no other issues, rare opportunity to try and write more.
