Shaoting was still He's editor at this time, but he was just being polite to him. He also went through many investigations for his contribution to the Shanghai Morning News—he almost read all the magazines and newspapers published in Shanghai.

In fact, it’s not that I didn’t think about publishing the “New Moon” magazine of “Spring Breeze” before submitting the manuscript. After all, the martial arts novels and romance novels serialized in “New Moon” read from Shaoting and feel that this magazine should also be able to accept “Da Dao” Story and style.

But "New Moon" is a weekly magazine. Considering this, all magazines become the choice of newspapers after they can be serialized every day.In the serialization of most newspaper novels, except for those with a particularly serious style that obviously do not publish novels on the theme of "Avenue", there are only three or four newspapers to choose from.

"Shanghai Morning Post" is the local newspaper with the largest circulation in Shanghai. Although Xu Shaoting chose the morning paper as the first to submit articles, considering that this newspaper definitely has a lot of manuscripts, it rarely adopts newcomers for serial novels. The novel I wrote is very confident, but I am also prepared to fail the draft.

Besides, now that it is known that Editor He is the editor-in-chief and has been working for ten years, he has never seen any novels, so Shaoting only regards what Editor He said as his personality is such that he likes to exaggerate.

If Editor-in-Chief He knew that he thought so, he would be wronged to death.

Yesterday, he took the manuscript from the editor who reviewed Qianfengmingyue's novel, and sat directly on the chair next to the editor. For their profession, a 10-word novel can be read in about [-] minutes, and an article Whether the manuscript can be passed, you will know after reading the first [-] words or even the first [-] words.

When I first read "A Great Way to Immortals", Editor-in-Chief He glanced at the ten lines and thought that the narrative style of this writing is very smooth, and it is the first time I have seen such a style of writing, and it also has a very personal style.

After Editor-in-chief He finished reading the first three chapters, he couldn't help but say, "This author is really imaginative. How did he think of constructing such a complete practice system? There is such a world?"

The editor who was watching it for the second time with his head turned his head and said with a smile: "You continue to read, the following plot is more attractive than the first three chapters."

After reading the full text, Editor-in-Chief He continued to turn the next page, only to realize that the manuscript ended here, and the first sentence was to shout: "Why does the plot stop here!"

Immediately, I couldn't hold back my excitement and said loudly: "Of course such a good story must be published. I always say that reviewing manuscripts should not be personal. If this manuscript is reviewed by another editor, will it not be sent to me? ! "

But because Editor-in-Chief He's tone was so excited, anyone with a discerning eye would fall under the pomegranate skirt of this novel, causing the editors in the editorial department to whisper in private:

Obviously the editor-in-chief, you are the first to review the manuscript with your own taste!

---

"The protagonist accepted the trial of the demon girl, opened his eyes and was surrounded by the boundless long night, the blurry figure that appeared in front of him said softly and sadly: Ah Yun, from now on, the king's heart is like mine, and I will never fail— —”

At this moment, Editor-in-chief He couldn't wait to recite the ending of the thirty chapters after he had finished speaking, and asked eagerly, "What are you sure about?"

"Who is this figure in the long night?"

"Is he a man or a woman? What's the relationship with Ye Yunqi?"

Xu Shaoting: "Don't get excited, let's have a cup of tea first."

"What kind of tea?" Editor-in-Chief He smiled embarrassedly, and he shook his head, "I lost my temper in front of Mr. You really know how to break chapters. I got your article "The Great Way of Immortals" from yesterday. I have read the manuscript five times so far."

Shao Ting couldn't believe it: "Is... so beautiful?"

But I also feel that Editor-in-Chief He is not lying. After all, he even recited the passages of the original text, so he really thinks that "The Great Way" is very beautifully written?

The good looks made him a "Mr." in one fell swoop.

"Don't call me Mr., you can call me Xiao Xu or Shao Ting." Xu Shaoting really couldn't bear this title, he rubbed his face, "How can I bear the word Mr.?"

Just like a writer of online novels can at most say that he is an author, who dares to say that he is a writer.

Editor-in-Chief He frowned, and Shao Ting's heart tightened, wondering if he had said something wrong.

Editor-in-Chief He frowned and said, "Mr. Qianfeng, I said that I have been in the industry for ten years. With all due respect, you don't seem to think that the "Day of the Great Way" you wrote is an excellent work?"

"It can be called a masterpiece...but that's all." Shaoting carefully chose his words, and looked at Editor-in-Chief He very cautiously, "It's just a work that is above the average line. You can say that it's good-looking and refreshing. It's a great read...but it's by no means a masterpiece, and it doesn't deserve too much praise."

"Have you read many books?" Editor-in-Chief He sighed, then looked at the young boy in front of him with a pair of extremely patient and kind eyes.

Xu Shaoting: "It's still...a lot."

But he naturally reads the most online novels, and of course there are many high-quality novels in them. The classics are all read in elementary school and junior high school.

Oh, Readers, Youth Digest, Aphorisms, Children's Literature, Science World, and Huahuo, magazines of various styles like this are also read every month. I don't know if they are considered serious books if they haven't been missed?He has read the full texts of Liu Cixin's short science fiction stories in these magazines.

"Since you've read a lot of novels, you should know that no one has ever written a novel like "The Great Way of Immortals." Editor-in-Chief He's face became agitated again when he said this, "Never, from the writing style to the various setting backgrounds—— You are No.1, don't you still know?"

"This comprehension system, this background world combined with fairy tales, after this novel is published, you are the founder of this genre!"

"I—" Shaoting opened his mouth wide.

What the hell!

Only these two words can express his mood, and because his brain is not slow to turn, let’s be considered a smart person, and because those who have read "The Great Dao" before are either family members or Shen Lingjun, who don’t often read novels, even if they read The subject matter was also selected, so no one found out that the story setting of "The Great Dao" is so...

Unique.

No more.

It's exactly what Editor-in-Chief He said: With such a setting and world background, this novel is destined to be the founding father of comprehension novels.

And Shaoting soon realized another thing, he didn't know who was the first founder who wrote a cultivation novel, and set the settings of Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Jindan, Yuanying, etc., but he knew, If Dao Dao was published in this era, he would have changed history and pushed down the original founder of the mountain...

Thinking of this, Shao Ting didn't dare to take on such an honor. Editor-in-Chief He saw the solemn and serious expression on the young man's face.

Seeing that the young man said clearly without pretending: "Editor He, the story of "The Great Dao" is my original creation, but the background and practice level settings in it--this cultivation system and subject matter are not my idea. The author of these is someone else."

Editor-in-chief He was stunned immediately, and then asked: "Which author is it?"

"He..." Shao Ting made a sad look, "He can't write novels in this era."

Editor-in-Chief He also paused, was silent for a few seconds and lamented, "Did you get hit by something?"

Xu Shaoting shook his head: "I can't say more about that."

Editor-in-chief He said: "Then are you authorized to use these settings?"

Xu Shaoting thought about it: "The setting is open and the story is original. Please rest assured about this. And I would like to ask, has your newspaper decided to serialize this novel?"

Editor-in-Chief He nodded affirmatively: "I have already decided to adopt this novel. I will visit you today. In addition to finalizing the serialization matters with you, I also have my own selfish motives."

After Editor-in-Chief He finished speaking, he first took out the contract signed with the author from his briefcase. When discussing the signing conditions, Editor-in-Chief He became business-like for the time being, but also because he liked the novel, so he still gave the young boy in front of him extra leniency.

For example, if a new author wants to serialize a novel, he should not have the qualifications. Editor-in-Chief He waved his hand and allowed it.

Another example is the manuscript fee. Newcomers should get the lowest grade. If the manuscript is well written, it can be doubled or tripled. Editor He directly paid Xu Shaoting the manuscript fee of [-] yuan. This price has already published many novels. Only "senior" authors can get the thousand-character manuscript fee.

After negotiating these conditions, Xu Shaoting signed, and he continued: "When publishing Chapter 1, please indicate that the background settings are provided by the author's friends, and these background settings are open to authorization. Anyone who wants to use them to write new stories, It's all possible."

Editor-in-Chief He nodded. These were trivial matters, so there was no need to go against the author's request. He just picked up the teacup and drank a cup of tea. Editor-in-Chief He cleared his throat, and the enthusiasm in his eyes surged again.

Shaoting leaned back silently, his expression was somewhat similar to that of his younger sister Zhenzhen, but Zhenzhen didn't hide it, and Editor-in-Chief He would cover it up a bit.

With this enthusiasm, Editor-in-Chief He said very earnestly: "I hope you don't underestimate this novel by yourself. I have already said it, but the following words are that I have long wanted to communicate with you. To be honest, I originally came to the door to finalize the contract with the author. I don't need to do the work, but in order to talk to you, I took this job."

"Mr.'s novels are very well written. There is no doubt about this. The emphasis on vernacular novels is that they can be understood and are interesting to read, not like the stereotyped essays in the past. If you don’t know the basics, even if you finish reading it, you don’t know what you’re talking about.”

"And it is precisely on the point of being easy to understand that Mr. has completely achieved his own unique style of writing. Compared with most vernacular novels I have read, the reading experience is the best."

After saying this, Editor-in-Chief He looked deeply at the boy in front of him.

Xu Shaoting only felt a little messy, and he thought strangely: the original sentences are written in a more colloquial way, so it can be like this... Is it a compliment?
