Chapter 209 Top Ten Fiction Contest and Entering the Restricted Area
In the early morning, Xiaoyao Building of Yufeng Fiction Academy.

In the corner of the office, a television is playing the news.
"The latest news from this station is that the poisonous snake incident in the Yufeng competition area of ​​the Xiaoyao Cup Novel Contest has made significant progress. Last night, the shadowy man appeared at the Tianhai No. The snake venom on his body."

"Currently, the physical signs of these writers have returned to normal, and they have gradually regained consciousness."

"According to Professor Ma, the chief physician of the hospital, the pill given by the shadow man is called Xuexin Dan. It may be an exclusive secret recipe prepared by the shadow man himself, because there is no such medicine as Xuexin Dan in China."

"In interviews with reporters from our station, many writers and their family members expressed their respect for the Sombra Man, saying that the Sombra Man is a miracle doctor who saved the world..."

……

After watching the news, more than 100 judges in the office breathed a sigh of relief.

There are 39 participating writers in the Yufeng competition area who have been infected by snake venom. If any accident happens to these writers, it will undoubtedly become an indelible stain on this year's novel competition.

Now 39 writers have turned the corner, and a stone hanging in their chests has finally been let go.

However, the poisonous snake incident still had an extremely negative impact on the Yufeng competition area.

Although the venom of the snake has been resolved, the 39 writers are still very weak and need to recuperate for several months.

As a result, these writers could no longer participate in the novel contest and could only choose to withdraw.

Many of the 39 writers were among the top contestants in the Yufeng competition area. Now that they have withdrawn from the competition, the ranking of the Yufeng competition area will naturally undergo a major change.

"Among the top 10 in the Yufeng competition area, 8 people were infected with snake venom and could not continue to compete." Chairman Zhang Qingchen sighed, "The top 10 in the Yufeng competition area need to be re-selected. Those who were originally ranked 11th to 18th Writers are now directly in the top ten."

Guo Dedao: ""Ten Evil Men" was originally ranked 11th, so isn't it going to be ranked 3rd now?"

"In terms of character portrayal skills, "Top Ten Villains" should have entered the top three. It's just that this novel mainly portrays villains, with too much negative energy, so it suffered a big loss in the ranking." President Zhang Qingchen said, " If "Ten Villains" wants to go further in the finals, it must properly add some positive characters in the novel."

Vice President Zhao Changchun reminded: "Old Zhang, haven't you read today's draft of "Ten Evil Men"? Fu Changding has added a new character in the work, called 'Shadow Man'. In the novel, The shadow man became the opponent of other villains, known as the 'terminator of villains', he is a very positive character."

"Really?" Zhang Qingchen immediately picked up the manuscript of "Ten Evil Men" and read the latest chapter.

After ten minutes.

"The latest addition of the 'Shadowman' character in "Ten Evil Men" has added a lot of color to the work!" Zhang Qingchen said with satisfaction, "The crimes of the top ten villains can be ended by the 'Shadow Man'. The value orientation is completely different, and it has become a positive energy story of punishing rape and eradicating evil. As long as this level is maintained, the performance of "Ten Villains" in the finals is still very exciting."

Zhao Changchun deeply agreed: "I was worried that Fu Changding only knew how to describe villains, but now it seems that he is also very good at describing heroic characters."

Fu Changding grew up on Alcatraz, he saw villains every day, and almost never saw good people.Therefore, Fu Changding is not good at portraying positive characters in novels.

It was only after seeing the Shadowman that Fu Changding found the inspiration to describe positive characters, so he added the role of "Shadowman" in "Ten Evil Men", bringing the work back on track.

"Ten Wicked Men" Becomes a Story About Sombra's Conquerment of Ten Wicked Men

……

Over the next two months, the novel contest continued.

According to the regulations of the competition, the competition schedule for each division is 100 days.Within 100 days, each participating writer must add a new character to the work.

When the sub-division ends, the number of characters in the work will reach exactly 100.

Because the more characters there are, the more difficult it is to create, and the quality of the work will decline.As the competition continued, some writers who participated in the competition were unable to do so and chose to give up one after another.

By the 50th day of the competition, half of the participating writers had been eliminated, leaving only 254 people.

On the 70th day, 165 people remained;
On the 80th day, 125 people remained;
On the 90th day, 101 people remained;
On the 100th day, the number of participating writers was less than 95, only [-].

The jury conducts a comprehensive appraisal of 95 works by 95 writers.

The appraisal results show that among the 95 entries, there are 27 one-star novels, 23 two-star novels, 29 three-star novels, 15 four-star novels, and only one five-star novel .

It is "Ten Evil Men" written by Fu Changding.

After adding 100 characters to the novel, the quality of "Ten Evil Men" has not declined significantly, and it still maintains the standard of the opening chapter, which is almost impeccable.

The excellent performance of "Ten Villains" amazed many book appraisers at the selection meeting.

It is already an extremely difficult task to describe 100 lifelike characters in a novel, and many writers can't do it in their entire lives.

"Top Ten Villains" not only successfully created 99 villain characters, but each villain character has its own characteristics, and there are almost no repetitions. It can be regarded as an "encyclopedia of villain characters", and it is a rare masterpiece of character creation in recent years.

After repeated discussions by the jury, Fu Changding's "Ten Villains" won No.1 in the Yufeng competition area and successfully advanced to the finals of the novel competition.

When the competition in the Yufeng Division came to an end, the competitions in the other three divisions also ended one after another, and the top 10 players in each division were eligible to participate in the finals.

40 top writers from Renliyun will compete for the championship of this year's Xiaoyao Cup Novel Contest.

……
When the finals started, Liu Xing became more relaxed.

Because the finals will be in charge of the new judges, Liu Xing no longer serves as a judge.

So, he continued his plan of cultivating immortals.

While most scholars watched the live broadcast of the finals of the novel competition in front of the TV, Liu Xing stayed in his room reading novels every day.
The finals lasted for more than two months, so he read novels for more than two months.

More than two months later, Liu Xing's obsessed novels of the Shadow Man have reached 10 volumes.

……

Meteor Book Bar, General Manager's Office.

Sitting at his desk, Liu Xing picked up two fairy tale novels and glanced through them.

""Legend of Sword and Fairy", a fairy tale novel, four-star, matching 21.84%!"

""The Legend of Mortal Cultivation of Immortals", a fairy tale novel, four-star, matching 24.84%!"

Liu Xing sighed secretly. Although the matching degree of Xianxia novels has improved again, the extent of improvement is still very limited.

The difficulty of fascination in Xianxia novels is really as difficult as reaching the sky!
Liu Xing now has only 4 novels of the Shadowman left in his hand. Even if he is absorbed in all the 4 novels of the Shadowman, the match between "The Legend of Mortal Cultivation of Immortals" and "Legend of Immortal Heroes" is still far from 30% and.

"It seems that more Shadowman novels must be found."
Withdrawing his thoughts, Liu Xing picked up "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" and checked it again.

[Book Title] "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty"

【Type】Martial arts novel

【Grade】Five-star
[Matching degree] 36.7%
"The matching degree of "The Legend of Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" has improved very fast, it is close to 40%, and it can be slaughtered after a period of time."

Just as he was thinking, the office door suddenly rang.

The female assistant Xiaomei reported that Wu Guokun and several well-known writers visited.

Not long after, Director Wu Guokun walked into the office. Behind him, there were several familiar faces. After careful identification, he found that it was the writer who had been poisoned by a poisonous snake a few months ago, including Mo Ming.

Mo Ming was originally one of the top ten writers in the Yufeng competition area, and had a chance to advance to the finals of the novel competition.Unfortunately, after the poisonous snake incident, Mo Ming chose to retire due to his weakness.

"Xiao Liu, there is great news!" Director Wu Guokun said with a smile as soon as he came in, "There is a good show in the sixth season of the 'Shadow Man Cup' essay competition."

Liu Xing was curious: "What's wrong?"

"There are a group of heavyweight writers to participate." Director Wu Guokun pointed to a dozen writers beside him, and introduced, "Mo Ming, Wu Shengtai, Nie Daxuan and others are all preparing to participate in the sixth season of the essay competition."

It turned out that Mo Ming and other writers were going to participate in the "Shadowman Cup" essay contest in order to thank the Shadowman for saving his life.
The fifth season of the "Shadowman Cup" essay contest has ended, and the sixth season is about to start.

The sixth season is the last season of the essay contest. Mo Ming and other writers decided to write a novel about the Shadowman before the end of the essay contest to express their respect for the Shadowman.

These writers are all first-class writers in China, and writers of this level are generally not interested in essay competitions organized by non-governmental organizations.

Today, more than a dozen top writers suddenly decided to participate in the Sombra Man Cup Essay Contest, which instantly raised the level of the "Sombra Man Cup" essay contest by several notches.

Mo Ming and others have very profound creative skills, but they still maintain a very humble and rigorous attitude towards creation.

In order to write a good novel about the Shadowman, these writers came to Meteor Books in person today, with the purpose of collecting more materials about the Shadowman.

They heard that Wang Lanlan had seen the shadow man several times, so they came here to learn from Wang Lanlan.

Therefore, Wang Lanlan became the writing consultant of this group of writers.
……

For the next week, Mo Ming and other writers lived in Meteor Book Bar, and while consulting Wang Lanlan about the Shadowman, they began to conceive a novel about the Shadowman.

As for Liu Xing, continue reading the novel of the Shadow Man.

In addition, he is also paying close attention to the progress of the finals of the Xiaoyao Cup Novel Contest.
After two months of competition, the top 10 finals have been produced.

Among the top 10, there are 3 people in the Lianhua competition area, 3 people in the Moon watching competition area, 2 people in the Treading Snow competition area, and 2 people in the Yufeng competition area.

Among them, Fu Changding was among the top ten finalists in the Yufeng competition area.

Although the top 10 of the competition have been produced, the specific ranking of the top 10 has yet to be determined.

According to the rules of the competition, the top 10 writers will enter the forbidden book area of ​​Story City.

In the forbidden-book area, 10 contestants will have a new round of competition, and finally decide the ranking of the top 10.

……

The night is deep.
Yufeng Novel Academy, in the guest room of Xiaoyao Hotel.

Fu Changding sat alone on the bed in a daze.

Although he has advanced to the top 10 of the novel competition, he is not happy.Once in the forbidden book area, he will participate in the plan to steal the book tomb and steal the forbidden book. After the plan is over, he will be captured and returned to Alcatraz.

This is not the life he wants.

Whoosh!
At this time, a black shadow flew into the room, and instantly fell to the ground in front of him.

"Shadow man!" Fu Changding was overjoyed, jumped out of bed, and said, "Tomorrow I will go to the forbidden book area to participate in the final round, what should I do now?"

Liu Xing said: "Don't worry, you don't need to enter the restricted-book area tomorrow."

Fu Changding didn't understand, so he asked, "What do you mean?"

"I will rescue you today." Liu Xing explained, "From tonight onwards, you will be completely free."
Fu Changding was slightly taken aback, seemed a little unbelievable, and confirmed: "I can really go?"

"You have done everything that needs to be done, and I will handle the rest." Liu Xing reminded, "I can take you out of the hotel, but for safety reasons, you cannot show your face in public for the time being, and you need to live in seclusion for a while. "

Fu Changding nodded: "As long as I can escape from the clutches of Alcatraz, I am willing to live in seclusion for a lifetime."

As soon as the words finished, Liu Xing waved his right hand and made two puffs, making Fu Changding dizzy, and then took him out of the hotel.

After settling in Fu Chang Ding, Liu Xing returned to Xiaoyao Hotel.

When he came back, he had already disguised himself as Fu Changding with the disguise technique.

Liu Xing is going to pretend to be Fu Changding and enter the forbidden book area. On the one hand, he will participate in the finals of the novel contest, and on the other hand, he will look for the whereabouts of the fifth book tomb.

"I'm afraid there will be a fierce fight in the forbidden book area."

Sitting in the hotel room, Liu Xing thought to himself.
In the past three months, Liu Xing asked his killers to closely monitor the secret passages of Yufeng Fiction Academy in an attempt to find people from Alcatraz Island.

So far, nothing has been found.

After the poisonous snake incident, the people of Alcatraz never appeared again, and no other accidents occurred.

Liu Xing suspects that the people in Alcatraz Island may have made full preparations, which means opening the forbidden book area and starting to steal book coffins and forbidden books.

"Where will the book tomb be buried in the forbidden-book area?"

Liu Xing has never entered the forbidden area, and he knows almost nothing about this forbidden area.The restricted area is so big, it is not easy to find the book tomb.
Boom boom boom!
Just as he was thinking, the door rang.

Liu Xing got up and opened the door, only to see a hotel waitress standing at the door, she said: "Mr. Fu, you ordered supper."

"Night supper?"

Liu Xing was slightly taken aback. He had heard Fu Changding say that the people from Alcatraz sent him information by giving him supper.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

After sending the waitress away, Liu Xing hurried back to the room with the supper.

Supper is pork rib soup and fish balls.

Liu Xing looked at the pork rib soup, but found nothing.

Afterwards, he took out a knife to cut open the fish ball, and when he cut to the 18th fish ball, he found a golden paper hidden in the fish ball!

He took out the golden paper, spread it out, and found that there were some patterns printed on it, which looked like a map of an island.

"Could this be the map of the forbidden-book area of ​​Story City?"

In the upper left corner of the golden map, there is a golden five-pointed star mark, which is particularly conspicuous.

"The marked place is the burial place of the book tomb?"

Seeing this, Liu Xing was quite relieved. With this map, it would be much easier to enter the forbidden book area.

……
The next morning, Liu Xing's novels met with the top ten writers of the novel competition.Afterwards, they took a black train together and went to the forbidden-book area of ​​Yufeng Story City...
