After marrying Tianhou, I suddenly became popular

Chapter 73 A Novel That Counts

An Lan's exclamation instantly attracted the attention of all the editors in the third editorial department.

"Xiaobai contributed? It's not time for the second volume of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" to be published!" An editor opposite An Lan scratched his head in doubt.

"Yeah, did he finish the second volume so soon?" said an editor returning from coffee.

"It's not good to finish writing early. Other authors want us to press for the manuscript. Xiaobai finished writing early like this." An editor was very envious.

His words expressed the feelings of most editors.

Unknown authors are not counted. Some well-known authors always have countless excuses to procrastinate on the day of submission, and finally have to ask the editor to hand in the manuscript.

"An Lan, it's better to be happy alone than to be happy with others. Please post it for everyone to see. I've been waiting for the second volume for a long time." The editor opposite An Lan had already stood up and was about to come to her side.

"That's right, An Lan, since the second volume of Xiaobai has been released, let us read it in advance. Don't worry, we will make up a copy and buy it for collection after the second volume is published."

""Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is poisonous, I am most looking forward to the second volume!"

The editors said so much, An Lan couldn't get in even if he wanted to.

Finally, when everyone stopped talking, An Lan interrupted and said, "It's not the second volume of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", it's a short story."

"Short stories? Xiaobai writes short stories?"

"What are you doing! Why isn't it the second volume, I'm so happy!"

"Short stories are not easy to write, and they are more difficult to control than long stories. Can the short story of the tomb robbery story be unfolded?"

"It's not a short story about tomb robbery."

An Lan forwarded Li Xiaobai's contribution to the large group of the third editorial department, and said, "I posted it to the group, you can check it out yourself."

With that said, she also clicked on the submission file.

To be honest, when An Lan saw the name of "Country Teacher", An Lan was not particularly interested in this short story.

Rural teachers see realistic themes as soon as they see their names. Who cares about realistic themes these days? Life is already hard enough, so don’t feel uncomfortable in novels.

But because it was written by Xiaobai, she still downloaded it and read it slowly, and then she couldn't control it. It took more than ten minutes to finish reading this [-]-word short story.

After reading it, An Lan looked up and found that the other colleagues in the editorial department were in the same state as her, from doubtful to interesting to awesome!
"Xiaobai is Xiaobai! The writing is so good, this is completely the layout and structure of a master of short stories. Could it be that Xiaobai used to be a master of short stories?"

"As far as this imagination is concerned, I don't think any other author except Xiaobai can think of it. Combining rural teachers and aliens, the two lines are ingeniously integrated, and the excellent humanistic care is excellent. Give me a review after reading it." An inexplicable feeling and helplessness!"

"Xiaobai can't be some hidden science and technology expert, he hid his vest and came to our master to write a book. In fact, he still has a big one on Jiuxing's side."

Like the city and supernatural themes of Master Culture, the main theme novels published by Nine Star Literature are science fiction novels.

"and many more!"

An editor suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly searched on the computer: "Is Xiaobai planning to use this short story to participate in the Starry Sky Awards?"

"Star Award?"

Some editors thought about it, and suddenly realized: "Absolutely, but the Starry Sky Award essay is a science fiction essay, and the submissions for this essay in previous years were all submitted to Nine Star Literature."

"Tell the editor-in-chief, maybe this year our Master Culture can also make a fortune in the Star Awards." Some editors became excited.

The Starry Sky Award is the largest essay award for domestic science fiction novels, and the winning works can be directly sent abroad to participate in the world science fiction Hugo Award selection.

In the past years, there were internal fights in Nine Star Literature, and other publishing houses could only watch from the sidelines. For a long time, publishing houses other than Nine Star Literature didn't pay much attention.

It doesn't matter to us if you pay attention, why should you pay attention? Isn't it good to have the time to dig out new authors?

The editor-in-chief of the third editorial department quickly came out of the office and said: "I discussed with the editor-in-chief, and our Master Culture will promote "Country Teacher" to participate in the Starry Sky Awards. Why can the authors of their nine-star literature write about our Master Culture? Tomb-robbing novels, we cannot participate in the Starry Sky Awards essay."

"The editor-in-chief has let it go. "Country Teacher" should not only be promoted, but also forced to be promoted. Readers of science fiction must know that science fiction is not unique to Nine Stars, and our Confucius culture also exists."

"If the judges of the Star Awards like it, they can even compete for a few awards."

After receiving the approval from the editor-in-chief and the editor-in-chief, An Lan immediately contacted Xiaobai.

Immediately afterwards, Master Culture Publishing House posted a message on its official website and Weibo:
"Xiaobai's new work, "Country Teacher" will meet you in three days. It is a different sci-fi, but the same unconstrained style."

As soon as this news came out, it immediately attracted the attention of countless people.

Especially the readers who like "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", they have been waiting for the release of the second volume after reading the first volume of Jingjue Ancient City.

So seeing Master Culture saying that Xiaobai's new book is coming, the first reaction of Fentuo readers is that the second volume of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is coming?

The time is wrong!It's not yet time for the second volume to be released, and there is still nearly half a month left!Did the publisher release it in advance?
It is normal for readers to have such suspicions. The time between the first volume and the second volume of the publishing house is one month.

This has been the case over the years, readers have long been used to it, and it was also the same when waiting for the second volume in the past, which was very uncomfortable.

When everyone clicked on the feed of Confucius Culture, they realized that this was not the case. It was not the second volume at all, but a science fiction novel.

"Science fiction, why is it called "Country Teacher" such a realistic name?"

"Did Xiaobai drift away? If I don't write the second volume, what kind of science fiction will I write?"

"It made me look forward to it in vain. The wallet is ready, so you just give me this?"

"Anyway, since Xiaobai wrote it, I still have to buy it."

"Didn't you realize that this is a short story? It wasn't published in the original version, it was published in a magazine."

"Isn't it strange that an urban magazine prints a sci-fi article?"

These are all the readers of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern". Because of the tomb robber incident and the subsequent lawsuits between the publisher and the newspaper, "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is more famous than the novels that have been famous for many years, which leads to a large number of fans and readers. Considerable.

However, these people were a little disappointed when they found that it was not the second volume.

But there are also people who are either readers of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", or just passers-by, who clicked in after seeing the tweets of Master Culture.

"My master actually has science fiction novels. Isn't this kind of novels only available in Nine Star Literature?"

"What's so good about submitting a science fiction article of Confucius Culture? Good science fiction articles are all in Nine Stars, and everyone in China knows it."

"At first glance, it seems that the Confucius culture was launched to make up the numbers. The name of the science fiction novel is definitely a hot chicken novel."

When readers were discussing, Confucius Culture's move also attracted the attention of several editorial departments in the same industry.
