Volume 1: A sound on Wall Street, Xinxiang City is busy copying books Chapter 42 Determiners
Subtitle of this chapter: Friends of Women and Hipster Killers
"You can become a master by wearing the Republic of China? Go away!" The system's literature entries are different from economics. There is no subject classification, only various language classifications: Chinese (Sino-Tibetan language family and its dialects), English, Russian, French, German, Japanese, Hindi, Spanish, Arabic, other languages (Esperanto, minority languages, extinct languages, and half-dead languages like Latin), a total of ten.
Each language is divided into four forms according to the four-part literary system: novels, prose, poetry, and film and television drama.
Each form has different styles, schools, types, etc. For example, under the four forms of literature, there are styles such as romanticism, schools such as stream of consciousness, and types such as horror and supernatural.
Under each division is a specific author!
So how do you calculate B coins?
Spend 1 B coin to get a random draw under the literature category.
Spend 10 B coins and you can get a random draw under the language category under the literature category.
Spend 100 B coins and you can randomly draw one of the four forms under the literature category, language category, novels, essays, poetry, and drama and film.
Spend 1,000 B coins and you can randomly draw a work from each of the four categories: literature, language, novels, essays, poetry, and drama and film.
You need to spend 10,000 B coins to randomly select one from all the works of a specific author!
Let's take an example. For example, if Yuan Yanshu wants to redeem a copy of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", which is a must-copy for literary masters who came to the Republic of China, theoretically, he needs to use 10,000 B coins to draw 15 times.In order to guarantee that you will win, that is to say, if Master Yuan is not a good person, a total of 150,000 B coins will be needed to redeem this novel!
This is still considered good. If it was Gu Cheng's "A Generation" instead, it would cost at least millions.
"What's wrong with the host?"
"I have something to say, but I don't know whether I should say it or not..."
"Pika...chu! Sizzle, sizzle..."
"Has the host calmed down?"
"Cold, cold, calm down you horse..."
"Pika...chu! Sizzle, sizzle..."
"Okay, okay, okay, I'm calm now. By the way, Master Ball, I have a question, why is the price of a randomly selected novel of several million words the same as a modern poem of a dozen words?"
"Because... Host, you have also written a 'novel' of over a million words on the Internet. Do you think its literary and commercial value can be compared with the one or two hundred words of Gu Cheng's "A Generation"?"
Yuan Yan was convinced by this. The value of a literary work is not really determined by its length.
"Host, please stay calm. This system also has a prop reward mechanism. There are three types of props: cards that increase the host's attributes and skill points, qualifier passwords specifically used to redeem works, and another type of props is heaven-defying equipment."
"A qualifier password specifically used to redeem works? Master Ball, explain it to me."
"Okay, in order to take care of the host's relatively low IQ, I'll let you try a few. The system gives the host a one-time qualifier password for free: food. Please use it immediately, it will be invalid after one minute."
“Why food?”
"Didn't the host eat too much?"
"...Okay then, Master Ball, password: food, 100 B-coins for a novel in English literature."
"Ding ding ding, congratulations to the host for winning..."
"Wait, wait, Master Ball, wait a minute." Master Yuan had to call a timeout to calm himself down, because this book was really good! It was rare that the Master Ball system treated him well, and he really couldn't believe it.
Yuan Yan suddenly took a few deep breaths before asking, "Is this... a novel or a movie script?"
"Host, it's novels. The first and second times were both literary works with women as the theme, which is indeed the host's style. This system reminds the host that as long as you draw 100 works with women as the theme, you can activate the 'hidden talent: friend of women'. If you draw 1,000 books, you can advance this hidden talent to - the weird uncle who takes Loli to see goldfish, the new male teacher in the aristocratic girls' school, the soldier bodyguard of the rich lady, the spring boudoir landlord with black stockings and pretty white-collar workers, the male public relations who helps middle-aged and elderly women regain their youth, the handsome Taoist priest who charms female ghosts without losing his life... one of them, please keep working hard."
"Nu ni lao jie, li ni lao jie!" Yuan Yan suddenly didn't even have the energy to argue.
"The system gives the host a one-time qualifier password for free: Modern. Please use it immediately. It will become invalid after one minute."
The concept of modern is too broad. Our Master Yuan didn't dare to waste B coins this time, so he said weakly: "Password: Modern. 10 B coins are drawn from Chinese literature."
"Ding ding ding, congratulations to the host for winning "Above the Moon"."
“Above the Moon… What kind of modern literary work is this???!!!”
"Modern poetry. Bob Dylan can win the Nobel Prize for Literature. Please don't look down on folk customs and square dances."
"I'm speechless... By the way, if you draw 100 modern poems, what hidden talent will be unlocked?"
"The hidden talent for modern poetry is a high-level talent. You need to draw one thousand poems to unlock it. It is called the (Female) Literary Killer, but the host can also choose the (Male) Literary Killer. This system does not force or discriminate. If you draw ten thousand poems, you can advance to..."
"Alright, alright, give me the next qualifier."
"The system gives the host a one-time qualifier password for free: famous. Please use it immediately, it will be invalid after one minute."
Famous is also a pretty good qualifier, so this time Yuan Yan suddenly took a chance and said, "Password: Famous. 1 B-coin literature, randomly selected."
"Ding ding ding, congratulations to the host for winning Vardanank."
"What the hell is this?"
"The famous Armenian novel "The Battle of Vardan". This system reminds the host that as long as you draw 100 literary works in the category of "other languages", you can stimulate the "hidden talent: Shang Boliang of the Republic of China'. If you win one thousand copies, you can..."
"No! What's the use of this crappy talent? It's worse than the Friend of Women and the Hipster Killer!"
