"Brothers, I've published a book. It's called My Legendary World."
"Are you aiming for the 100,000 yuan prize for the first place?"
"I'm not that good. I'm aiming for the 1,000 yuan prize."
How should I put it?
Actually, the authors who wrote online were not necessarily rich.
The reason why they still wanted to write was because of their hobby and their desire to express themselves.
However, no matter how strong their desire to express themselves, they could not make a living.
It was really depressing to have no money after writing so many words.
This was also the reason why so many authors went to the Legendary World when the essay competition was launched.
Even if they did not aim for the 100,000 yuan prize for the first place, they could at least fight for the top 10.
Even if they could not fight for the top 10, they still had the 1,000 yuan prize for 300,000 words.
Although 1,000 yuan was not a lot, it was still quite valuable in 2002. It could at least sustain them for more than a month or even two months.
Of course, it was not easy to write 300,000 words in two months.
Web novel authors in 2002 did not have a professional nature like later generations.
There were no professional authors at this time.
At this time, everyone generally updated very slowly. It was as slow as a tortoise.
If an author could update a chapter a day at this time, it would be like a rocket.
Most authors would either update a chapter a week, half a month, or a month.
However, in the face of 1,000 yuan, it was still possible to finish it in two months if they worked hard.
…
"Brother Jian, come, come. Let's eat here."
Lunch in the cafeteria.
Chen Yu was no different from the other employees. He also sat in the cafeteria to eat.
Zhang Jianming carried a plate. Chen Yu asked Zhang Jianming to sit with him.
"Damn, Brother Jian, you're really good. You're eating so much."
Seeing Zhang Jianming carrying a plate full of food to him, Chen Yu laughed.
"It's not just me. Look at the others."
Chen Yu took a look. It was true.
"Who asked you to make such good food? The female employees in the company are saying that they have gained a few pounds recently and can't get married."
"Haha, everyone will be in the mood to go to work if you eat well."
Chen Yu was quite generous about this.
"By the way, Brother Jian, how's the business in 5173?"
Recently, Chen Yu had been paying attention to the Legendary world and hadn't paid much attention to 5173.
"Everything is normal. Our business is growing fast. Basically, as long as it's a listed game company, they are willing to work with us. However, 17173 is still in operation. "
"Don't worry. 17173 has a big platform like Sohu, and they still have some business. But they don't have much competition for us."
"Boss Chen, you were too ruthless. You beat 17173 until he lost his temper."
"That's how the business world works. If we're not ruthless, we'll be the ones to die."
Zhang Jianming felt the same way.
Although Huanyu Technologies had not been established for long, it had gone through many battles.
Some killed their opponents.
Some were still fighting.
Some of them hadn't fought yet, but they might fight in the future.
"By the way, Boss Chen, what do you think about the internet café management system?"
"Why did you think of the internet café management system?"
"A few days ago, Fatty Wang asked me to go to his place. I saw that all three of his internet cafes had installed the internet café management system. They have to pay a few hundred yuan every month."
"Haha, Brother Jian, do you want to do it?"
"A little."
Zhang Jianming said, "I asked the company's technicians to do some research. This internet café management system isn't difficult. It only has functions such as online, offline, timing, locking, turning on, charging, billing, statistics … etc. I think with our company's technology, we can also make one and sell it cheaper than them. "
"Wow, Brother Jian, you know how to expand the business."
"5173's business is on the right track. It's a lot easier, so we have more time."
"Okay, make a proposal and give it to me."
Chen Yu nodded.
When he was learning programming, he had thought of developing an internet café management system software.
But later, when he entered the gaming industry, he forgot about the internet café management system.
Now, looking back, there were other software companies occupying this market.
But it was fine.
Although Chen Yu hadn't entered this area for the time being, it wasn't difficult for him to enter.
After dinner, Chen Yu returned to his office.
After drinking a cup of tea, he remembered the Legendary World Essay Competition he organized with Qidian a few days ago.
He didn't know how the authors were doing.
When he logged onto the website, Chen Yu first looked at Eunuch 32's.
After all, he was an author that Chen Yu specially found. He was still quite important to him.
The Legendary World's King's Descent
This was the title of the book written by Eunuch 32.
The name was quite good.
However, after Chen Yu read the text, Chen Yu seemed a little disappointed.
"No creativity, no uniqueness, this won't be popular."
Although Chen Yu didn't write it himself, his foresight was incomparably advanced.
With just one look, Chen Yu found that Eunuch 32's book was quite average.
It wasn't bad, but at least the writing was quite strong. It was quite good at telling stories.
But that wasn't what web literature was all about. It was about creativity.
What was the point of an uncreative web literature?
Fortunately, he didn't bet on him at that time.
After closing the book, Chen Yu prepared to look at the situation of the essay competition.
In just a few days, more than 700 works had signed up for the Legendary World Essay Competition.
Everyone's performance was quite outstanding. The highest word count had already reached 50,000 words.
It should be said that everyone was working very hard.
Chen Yu clicked on a work that was temporarily ranked first on the list.
He clicked on it.
"Average."
Chen Yu closed it.
He clicked on the second place's work.
"Very average."
Chen Yu was a little disappointed. He continued to look at the third place's work.
"Very average."
After reading more than ten books in a row, Chen Yu was actually not satisfied with any of them.
What was going on? There were more than 700 authors. Could it be that no one could write better?
Chen Yu was a little puzzled.
Logically speaking, this shouldn't be the case.
Although there were more than 700 authors with average talent, there were also some who were very talented.
But why didn't any of them stand out?
This was indeed a little strange.
Without figuring out the situation, Chen Yu opened the website again and flipped through the books one by one.
Because the essay competition had just started a few days ago, most of the books were a little short. He finished reading each book in a few minutes.
After reading for two to three hours, Chen Yu closed his eyes.
He was summarizing the characteristics of these books.
It seemed that most of them were writing strategies for the Legendary World.
How to fight monsters, how to fight bosses, how to earn gold coins, how to PK.
At most, they would add some short stories in the game.
But these weren't the online games he wanted?
Didn't the real online games bring the game helmet into the dreamlike game world?
Eh?
Game helmet.
The words "game helmet" flashed in his mind.
Chen Yu finally understood why some online games were written in such an unattractive manner.
