Chapter 538 Are We Watching the Same Journey to the West?
Wu Yunfei had never been sought after by so many people before. The time he was most sought after was in high school.

At that time, because he was good at physics and looked good, many girls would come to him during breaks and study time to ask him to explain physics problems.

Unfortunately, Wu Yunfei didn't know how big an advantage he had at that time, and he just explained the questions to others honestly. Sometimes when he met someone who was stupid, he would even scold him.

Now that he is in college, all he sees are his classmates leaving as soon as get out of class is over.

The flowers and splendor of the past have long become a thing of the past.

Fortunately, Wu Yunfei became a celebrity with tens of thousands of followers because of a comment he casually posted about a grandfather reading a novel.

Moreover, this number of 10,000 fans is about to reach 100,000. How can he not be excited!
"updated?"

When Wu Yunfei saw the update of "Journey to the West", his eyes lit up. He clicked on the book page, subscribed to all the subsequent chapters and prepared to read.

But at this moment, he found his website mailbox that kept beeping.

However, Wu Yunfei, who translated Journey to the West, was so anxious to read it that he ignored it.

Two hours later.

Wu Yunfei has finished reading the newly updated ten chapters. After calming down the excitement brought by the plot for a while, he opened the book review area and prepared to write a translation post.

But just when he finished translating a chapter and was ready to publish it, he found that the 'Publish' button could not be clicked!

"No way, Wan Gu's website is too rubbish!"

Wu Yunfei was a little anxious.

Translation is not a unique skill. Does anyone know if there are other people who see the benefits and are also translating?

After thinking about it, Wu Yunfei didn't wait any longer and directly clicked on the website feedback page and added the WeChat chat number of Wan Gu customer service.

In two minutes, the application was approved.

This made Wu Yunfei feel better.

“Hello, my account cannot post messages. Please fix this problem.”

Wu Yunfei quickly expressed his request.

"Hello, please send me your account name and unique identification number."

"Flying on the clouds, 70384923..."

"OK, wait."

Seeing that the customer service had accepted the message, Wu Yunfei was no longer anxious.

I clicked on the book review section and looked through it, but found that there were no other translated posts.

This made Wu Yunfei feel relieved and a little complacent at the same time.

Although his level of classical Chinese is not top-notch, but under the guidance of his grandfather, he has reached some level.

Not to mention that in this group of fantasy novels, Wu Yunfei felt that no one could read faster or translate better than him!

Just then, WeChat chat rang.

"Hello, we have checked and there is no similar problem on the website, but there is a problem with your account."

"Huh? What's the problem?"

Wu Yunfei looked confused. Is there something wrong with the account?
He is a loyal reader throughout the ages, so what problem could there be?
"For the specific situation, our staff has sent an email to your mailbox on the site. Please go and check it. If you have any questions, you can consult again."

Wu Yunfei frowned and opened the mailbox of Wangu Literature Network.

Sure enough, a message different from the private message appeared in the list.

The sending time is in the morning.

"Tsk, why is it still marked in red?"

Wu Yunfei was speechless and immediately opened the email.

After reading it, Wu Yunfei's face turned green.

He didn't remember much of the whole article, but he only remembered four words.

Suspected of piracy!

He just translated some ancient Chinese text, how could he be suspected of piracy?
Suddenly, Wu Yunfei thought of something.

The first ten chapters of "Journey to the West" are free, but starting from the eleventh chapter, it will be charged.

And he didn't think about this at all yesterday and just translated all twenty chapters.

He translated it, but he even posted it just to fight back against the trolls!
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is pirated.

But fortunately, no profit was made from this.

Just then, the WeChat message came again.

"Hello, my supervisor just told me that if you didn't intentionally pirate, we will set up a new permission for your account. Do you agree?"

Seeing the customer service's words, Wu Yunfei hurriedly asked.

"What authority?"

"If you still want to continue translating, we will give your account permission to post paid posts. The price of the posts will be the same as the price of the main text of Journey to the West. At the same time, you can draw 10% of the Wan Gu coins, which cannot be withdrawn. Other functions remain unchanged."

When Wu Yunfei saw this, he would not hesitate any more.

"I promise!"

Five minutes later, Wu Yunfei wiped his sweat as he looked at the republished paid translation post.

"Fortunately, Wan Gu was generous. If it had been any other website, we would have probably received a lawyer's letter!"

After Wu Yunfei posted the paid post, those in the book review section who were planning to continue getting it for free became unhappy.

"What's going on! How did I just find out about paid posts?"

"Yeah, is this Yun Shangfei a member of the Wan Gu official team?"

"Stop talking nonsense above. I've looked at your account. If you've spent 10 Daxia coins in Wan Gu, it shouldn't be an ordinary account. Why are you so angry because you can't get something for free?"

"Haha, I was wondering yesterday why Yun Shangfei dared to translate paid content. I just clicked on the paid post and saw that he was sanctioned by Wan Gu."

"But Wangu did a great job. Knowing that Yun Shangfei had no intention, he not only exempted him from the problem, but also opened a paid post function for him. I haven't seen paid posts in other book review areas. Could it be that this content was specially created for Yun Shangfei?"

"Okay, it's confirmed. It is indeed a specially created content. Some readers who often do novel analysis on the website have received a message from the website that the paid posting function has been activated."

"Wow, Wan Gu is awesome!"

"But now, doesn't that mean we can't get the analysis of the big guys for free?"

"Hehe, it's best not to get it for free, because it filters out most of the people who haven't read the book and are still talking nonsense after hearing a few words."

"You know what, there are fewer random comments in Yun Shangfei's post today. Most of them are discussing the plot."

The discussions in the book review section of "Journey to the West" naturally caught Chen Shuangxue's attention.

That wasn't actually what she had in mind.

When she was talking to Chen Shuren on the phone yesterday, she happened to mention Yunshangfei, and Chen Shuren gave her a suggestion.

Add a paid post feature.

Originally, Chen Shuangxue's idea was to let the programmer set up the Yunshangfei account separately.

But Chen Shuren denied it.

After listening to Chen Shuren's subsequent statement, Chen Shuangxue did not insist any more and directly called the leader of the technical department over when it was almost time to get off work.

When the leader of the technical department heard Chen Shuangxue say that she wanted to develop a paid post function within one day, he touched his Mediterranean hairstyle.

But before the leader of the technical department could say anything, Chen Shuangxue gave him a big promise.

After this function is developed, the technical department will be given three additional recruitment quotas, and all employees involved in this development will be given three additional days of paid vacation.

The leader of the technical department immediately agreed to such a generous reward.

Thus, today’s paid post function came into being.

Although the paid posting function on the site received good feedback, Chen Shuangxue was still a little confused.

“Can this really be made into a community on its own?”

Yesterday, Chen Shuren told Chen Shuangxue that the paid posting function was just a temporary test.

Look at user feedback and cultivate user habits.

At the same time, Wan Gu Literature Network can also develop a paid community where everyone can post paid posts and earn Wan Gu coins.

At this time, the analysis masters in the Wangu Literature Network can directly give them the "big shot" certification.

This marks them as different from ordinary users.

Chen Shuren also told Chen Shuangxue a lot about the concept of paid communities.

Chen Shuangxue didn’t understand whether some of them made sense.

But she listened anyway.

Therefore, the three additional positions in the technical department are actually for people working on the paid community.

"Whatever, let's try it first."

Chen Shuangxue thought so.

The days passed by.

The classical Chinese version of "Journey to the West" also reached its final few chapters.

At this time, the book review section was filled with wailing.

"Why is it over? Isn't this story too short?"

"Yeah, how many words are there? It doesn't fit the style of old thief Mu!"

"The number of words in the classical Chinese version is indeed not large, but if you look at Yun Shangfei's translation, it's about 600,000 to 700,000 words, right?"

"That's a lot."

"But I always feel that this book is not very enjoyable to read."

"You're still not satisfied. You've already retrieved the scriptures, but you're still not satisfied. How can you be satisfied if Tang Seng returns to secular life?"

"No, I mean, this plot feels a little weird, but I can't really put my finger on it."

"Really? I feel the same way."

"I don't understand, I don't understand, but I actually enjoyed watching it."

While everyone was discussing, Wangu Literature Network hung up a banner again.

"The vernacular version of Journey to the West, compiled by Mu Linsen himself, will give you a different view of Journey to the West."

Many people on the website were dumbfounded when they saw this banner.

"What's going on? Why is there a vernacular version?"

“What’s the difference between the vernacular version and the translated version?”

“No difference, right?”

"Then what should I buy? I've read all of Yun Shangfei's translations!"

"But can Yun Shangfei's translation compare to Mu Linsen's?"

"...Shit, didn't I just waste so much money reading the translation?"

Some people are not wrong, some people are secretly happy.

At Zero Point Literature Network, Bu Anliang was chatting with one of his editors when he saw Wan Gu's stupid move and started laughing.

"If this isn't stupid, what is? There is already a vernacular version, but the fans of the book don't stop translating it in the book review section. Just wait and see, the sales of this vernacular version will definitely be cut in half!"

The new editor was one of Bu Anliang's favorites. He was young, had ideas, and the books he signed had great potential.

At this point, the new editor spoke up.

"Cut in half? How much does it mean to cut in half?"

The smile on Bu Anliang's face suddenly froze.

Yeah, that’s a lot, right?
With Mulinsen’s appeal, the minimum requirement is at least two million.

Even if it's cut in half, it should still be one million, right?
Just this one million is enough to make 99.9% of the authors breathless, and for the remaining 0.1%, not every book can achieve sales of one million.

Speechless, Bu Anliang looked at the new editor with a bad look.

"It's probably less than one million."

Bu Anliang said so.

It was under this circumstance that the pre-sale of the vernacular version of Journey to the West began.

At noon that day, as soon as the time came, the data of 0/100 million started to soar.

With every refresh, the data starts jumping rapidly.

3万/100万……13万/100万……33万/100万……56万/100万

In just half an hour, 55 copies were pre-sold.

This data left Bu Anliang, who was observing in the office, speechless.

But it's not over yet.

After 24 hours, the data has overflowed.

123 million/100 million!
But Wan Gu did not end the sale.

After the 24 hours were up, another campaign was launched.

Collector's Pack!

It includes both the classical Chinese version and the vernacular version, and the price is only 15 Daxia coins more expensive than buying the vernacular version alone!
Of course, if you have purchased the vernacular version before, you can directly add 15 Daxia coins to upgrade to the collector's edition.

The benefits of the collector's edition are more than just these.

Also included is an electronic version of the "Journey to the West" which has just been completed and can be watched for free on Wan Gu Literature Network.

In addition, one hundred autograph cards of Mulinsen will be randomly placed in the collector’s edition gift pack.

Among them, the two people whose signature card numbers are 6 and 66 can get the collection of all Mulinsen’s novels!
When such an activity was launched, those who had not purchased before went crazy, and those who had purchased before wanted to upgrade their cabins!
There are also loyal fans of Mulinsen who directly ordered hundreds of sets!

Just for that one autograph card.

After all, this guy Mu Linsen not only never does book signings, he doesn't even give out autographs!
If this is obtained, wouldn’t it mean that it is among the top 100 copies of Daxia?

Moreover, Wangu also said that these signature cards are numbered, and other signature cards will also be numbered in the future!
What does this mean?
This means that the earlier you get the autograph card, the more awesome it is!

As a result, after the pre-sale of the collector's edition started, it soared to 200 million in just one hour!
Of course, there are "upgrades" among them, but the two million pre-sale still makes many people shut up.

However, whether it is Lingdian, Yangfan or other novel websites, no one saw Wan Gu quietly launch a community forum on this day.

Two days later, some readers who received the book and read the vernacular version followed the URL on the last page of the book and came to this community forum.

I saw an analysis post about Journey to the West.

When they saw this, they were dumbfounded.

"Fuck, I'm not watching the same Journey to the West as you guys, am I?"

"This analysis is so damn real! So real that I don't dare to open Journey to the West again."

"I really followed the poster's analysis and watched Journey to the West in reverse. Damn, it really makes sense!"

"The Great Sage has already died, I don't believe it! You are ruining my journey to the West!"

Readers come here with curiosity.

But when I left, I felt like I was crazy.

So, many people began to delve into the details.

They need to find strong evidence to refute those posts!
However, the more they analyzed, the more fearful they became.

Because they convinced themselves.

Instead of finding loopholes, they confirmed the authenticity of those posts.

As a result, a topic titled "Are we reading the same Journey to the West?" became a hot search topic.

The Wan Gu Forum also appeared in everyone's eyes for the first time!
