Chapter 438: 416 Yan People Have Arrived_1
Lin Yuan could almost envision the glow of golden prestige value overflowing through the cracks of the fairy tale series, making people salivate with envy…
What good would endless publication of his own work do?
Could it be as easily prestigious as an officially recommended book?
Lin Yuan hadn’t forgotten the fear of being dominated by compulsory extracurricular books throughout his childhood:
It’s important to know that there are always some extra-curricular books that teachers require must be read.
Even if these extracurricular books have nothing to do with textbooks.
In Lin Yuan’s sparse memories from a previous life, he vaguely recalled struggling to chew on “How the Steel Was Tempered,” a book he had no interest in when he first entered middle school, and even memorized famous quotes from it.
Later, on his junior high school exam paper, there were even questions relevant to it, like the author’s long foreign name.
So many memories have been forgotten, but this one remains quite clear, proving how difficult it was for Lin Yuan at the time.
And that’s the power of compulsory extracurricular books!
Now the Literature and Art Association plans to compile such a fairy tale series, apparently to be listed as a must-read for elementary students.
Lin Yuan had no doubt about the influence of the Literature and Art Association.
The extracurricular reading books must be compulsory!
The kind that students can’t skip!
Thinking about this, Lin Yuan felt a strong sense of responsibility:
How can we let children read stories they are not interested in by force?
We must save the children!
Extracurricular reading is about making use of students’ rest time for further study. How can it be boring?
Think about the pain the children endure.
The reading has to be interesting, spectacular enough!
It should be a treat, not torture for children!
The more Lin Yuan thought about it, the more it made sense, even implanting an intense sense of mission within him.
He must write!
Not just write, but write a lot, for the sake of prestige…
No, no, *clears throat*, for fostering children’s interest in extracurricular reading!
“What are you thinking about?”
Lin Xuan curiously looked at Lin Yuan.
She saw Lin Yuan stand there, grinding his teeth, then looking solemn, then resolute, then greedy in his gaze…
“Nothing.”
Lin Yuan laughed, turned his head and ran back to his bedroom.
As the door closed, he immediately shouted, “System, the most beautiful woman in the world…”
Oops, wrong line. Let’s try that again.
Lin Yuan formally asked, “System, what are the best fairy tales on Earth?”
The system, with the potential of an artist, stated: “There’s no best, there are only equally excellent works.”
“I would like to customize some fairy tales, can you suggest some?”
“System highly recommends ‘Andersen’s Fairy Tales’, ‘Grimm’s Fairy Tales’ and ‘The Thousand and One Nights’. Host can read these for free and select interesting works for customization. After customization, the memory of non-customized works will disappear.”
“Understood.”
Lin Yuan said, “Start reading, starting with ‘Grimm’s Fairy Tales’.”
He had the memory pill, allowing him to speed read, but using it here was meaningless. It would be better to spend some time reading them one by one. Although it would take a bit more time, it could save quite a bit of money.
But the downside of saving money is that Lin Yuan spent the next few days engrossed in fairy tale books.
Until… Chinese New Year!
…
What’s the most lively thing about Chinese New Year?
That must be the Spring Festival Gala, a show watched by the entire family.
The Spring Festival Gala has always had the highest viewership every year, especially after Blue Star initiated merge mode, the enthusiasm for it has become even more exaggerated.
No other programs can compete with the Spring Festival Gala in terms of viewership!
Last year, “The Red Sun”, composed by Lin Yuan was performed during the Spring Festival Gala, which greatly boosted the company’s morale.
This year’s Spring Festival Gala also indirectly involved Lin Yuan.
An old man stood on the Spring Festival Gala’s stage, passionately reciting “Prelude to Water Melody: How Long Will the Full Moon Last”.
Jin Mu mentioned that someone would be reciting “Prelude to Water Melody” at the Spring Festival Gala to Lin Yuan before, but Lin Yuan didn’t take it seriously, as the copyright fees paid by Blue Star Television were not high.
It wasn’t until the recitation began that Lin Yuan remembered it.
Lin Xuan was excited: “It’s your poem!”
Lin Yao also clapped her hands: “The recitation sounds so good!”
Mother smiled and said: “Now the Yan people know you too!”
Mother’s words were not without basis.
With the arrival of the Spring Festival, even though it’s not yet officially the first of January, the cultural wall of Yan Continent has been removed.
This also means that Yan Continent has formally joined Blue Star’s grand merger!
Qin, Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, Wei, the integration process of the seven continents is more than half completed!
Hence, this night, not only can the people of Qin, Qi, and Chu participate in this Spring Festival celebration, but the Yan people can as well!
Online.
The newly merged Yan people started interacting with the netizens of Qin, Qi, and Chu on the internet while watching the Spring Festival Gala:
“This poem is great, the talent in Qin, Qi, Chu is indeed remarkable!”
A Yan person exclaimed.
“This poem was written by our Qin man, Xian Yu, there is a song about this poem called “May We All Sustain in Fortitude”, friends from Yan Province can give it a listen!”
A Qin person enthusiastically introduced.
“It feels weird to have Yan Continent referred to as Yan Province, haha, I will go listen to it now.”
The Yan person replied.
There were Yan people teasing: “Do you Qin people poop?”
A troll netizen from Qin replied: “Qin people don’t. We grew up eating dew drops and drinking rainwater.”
A Chu person laughed: “Do you at least need to pee?”
A Qi person also joined in: “I heard that you Yan people duel at the drop of a hat, if you are not fighting, you are on your way to fight, is that true?”
“That’s true.”
The Yan person proudly replied: “Yan people dominate all sports events in Blue Star, and the cultural atmosphere of Yan people is also predominantly of a combative nature. For instance, this Xian Yu you mentioned, his poem is not bad, but I estimate someone will challenge him tomorrow. We Yan people can write a poem that pacifies the world and ride a horse that stabilizes the universe, we are known to excel in both literature and martial arts! ”
“That’s cool!”
A Qin person immediately said: “I suggest that your music industry challenges Xian Yu. This person is very popular, but his skills are average, he is all bluff.”
A Qi person followed: “I suggest that your novelists challenge Chu Kuang. This person is a novelist, his skills are alright, but he is too arrogant. Many people can’t stand him anymore, in society he is called the old rascal Chu Kuang.”
A Chu person got excited: “Are your comics good? Go challenge Shadow quickly, I haven’t come up with a reason yet, but a challenge will do, as long as you dare to challenge, I will admit that you Yan people are awesome!”
“…”
Ever since the grand merger process began, these interchanges between the merging continents have been a standing item, which happen concurrently with the Spring Festival Gala.
Following the highly amused netizens.
The Literature and Art Association suddenly issued a shocking piece of news.
“Our association will invite representatives from various cultural circles to officially compile the “Blue Star Fairy Tale Collection”, the initial version of which will include thirty classic short fairy tales…”
Once the news was out!
The fairytale circle exploded!
The Yan people were extremely excited, especially the fairytale authors amongst them: “We like this welcome ceremony, let’s start with fairy tales, please enjoy the storm of combat brought by Yan people!”
