Chapter 963: Chapter 894: Heaven’s Deficiency, Earth’s Scarcity Chapter 963: Chapter 894: Heaven’s Deficiency, Earth’s Scarcity The post was live for three seconds.

Lin Yuan looked and realized it was just a temporary network hiccup. He didn’t pay it much mind and was about to repost when his finger hesitated slightly.
Sothing’s not right!
Lin Yuan had a sudden realization.
He almost forgot the phrase “The greatest duty of a hero is to serve their country and its people,” which had an original line in “The Return of the Condor Heroes,” spoken by Guo Jing to Yang Guo.
If Yi An said this first, what would Chu Kuang say?
Was Chu Kuang supposed to copy Yi An’s book review?
What kind of author copies a reader’s book review?
Lin Yuan felt sowhat fortunate; this tily network glitch saved Chu Kuang from being criticized by readers for plagiarizing Yi An’s review.
Cancel the post.
Lin Yuan decided to keep Yi An undercover.
Blue Star was not short on people like Professor Wang.
With such individuals around, the various designs within “The Legend of the Condor Heroes” would naturally not escape their eyes.
Analyzing the martial skills of The Legend of the Condor Heroes;
Ranking The Legend of the Condor Heroes top experts;
Down to the structure of the characters;
Even the study of fictitious history.
Every topic about The Legend of the Condor Heroes was spreading its influence with great montum, making the novel increasingly resonate deeply with people—
Especially with the hearts of the people of Zhao Continent!
Chu Kuang managed to leave a profound impression on the Zhao people because of this book.
This newly joined rged continent now viewed Chu Kuang extraordinarily favorably.
Of course.
The popularity of “The Legend of the Condor Heroes” remained undiminished in the regions of Qin, Qi, Chu, Yan, and Han as well.
However, unlike the people of Zhao,
The readers from Qin, Qi, Chu, Yan, and Han actually expressed dissatisfaction with the book!
A reader complained:
“Everything’s great with this book by the old rascal, except that he gives out too few lunch boxes, so there are hardly any tear-jerking monts from start to finish. Weren’t the Zhao people mocking us before? I really want to see the old rascal ruthlessly tornt the readers of Zhao Continent, what’s going on now, hey?”
“The old rascal doesn’t tornt readers anymore, there goes my youth!”
“Has the old rascal changed his ways? This Legend of the Condor Heroes is so stirring, not a single hiccup from start to finish, he really has bowed down to the market (dog head)”
“Old rascal, I beg you to tornt us!”
“So he’s really going against the readers, huh? When we hope he doesn’t tornt anybody, he tornts us terribly, and when we hope he’d give the Zhao Continent readers a hard ti, he ends up not tornting at all?”
“Throwing hard punches at us but ekly nodding along with Zhao Continent?”
“It’s one thing for him to write a book specifically for Zhao Continent, but did he really have to write sothing so thrilling? Not a single important character dies, isn’t that letting those Zhao people off too easy!”
It’s unfair.
The readers from Qin, Qi, Chu, Yan, and Han felt imbalanced.
Especially since the Zhao people had previously mocked them.
This had left the readers from Qin, Qi, Chu, Yan, and Han fuming internally, eager to see the old rascal tornt them thoroughly; and yet, who could have predicted that the old rascal wouldn’t play by the rules at all!
The very mont when he should’ve been toughest!
He suddenly beca kind!
Look at the storyline of “The Legend of the Condor Heroes”!
The ones who died happened to be characters readers weren’t deeply connected to, whose emotions were not yet fully engaged.
Like a few from the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan with minor storylines, or complicated figures like Yang Kang; beloved characters remained safely alive!
Could it be the old rascal genuinely turned over a new leaf?
…
Back ho.
My sister, my little sister, and mom were huddled together, engaged in an animated discussion about sothing.
Seeing Lin Yuan,
Mom laughed, “You’re back just in ti, we’re planning to go on a trip, do you want to join us?”
Lin Yuan paused, “A trip?”
My sister explained, “Big Yaoyao and mom are ho all the ti, and I’m afraid they’ll get bored. The company is about to have a few days off, so I thought it’d be nice to take them out for a trip. Transportation is so convenient these days, it’s easy to go anywhere.”
Lin Yuan asked, “Where to for the trip?”
My sister excited, “I want to go to Mount Hua. Your good buddy Chu Kuang recently wrote ‘The Legend of the Condor Heroes,’ right? The part about Duel Atop Mount Hua in the book was so thrilling that now many people are influenced by this novel to visit Mount Hua. Even the local advertisers at Mount Hua are using the hype around the Duel Atop Mount Hua to promote tourism!”
Travel to Mount Hua?
Lin Yuan was sowhat surprised.
Blue Star and Earth share quite a few similarities, such as so histories preceding the Second Emperor of Qin, Hu Hai.
In terms of geographical locations, the two worlds also have many similar places—for example, Mount Hua exists on Blue Star just as it does on Earth.
But what Lin Yuan hadn’t expected was
that Mount Hua’s tourism was being boosted because of the concept of Duel Atop Mount Hua from ‘The Legend of the Condor Heroes.’
However, after so thought, Lin Yuan suddenly didn’t find it strange anymore.
‘Grave Robbers’ Chronicles’ by Nanpai Sanshu repeatedly ntioned Changbai Mountain, resulting in Earth’s Changbai Mountain tourism benefiting greatly from the novel. This was similar to how ‘The Legend of the Condor Heroes’ stimulated tourism for Mount Hua.
This is the power of novels.
They may seem like just bunches of text, but their impact on people is actually huge.
“Sure.”
Lin Yuan didn’t refuse.
Spending more ti with family by traveling together seed like a good idea, and he didn’t have anything else to do since he was recently writing ‘The Return of the Condor Heroes.’
Novels can be written anywhere.
Even writing while on a trip is completely okay.
Without discussing the trip itinerary with the family, Lin Yuan went upstairs, turned on his computer, and casually looked up recent news about Mount Hua.
Indeed, as my sister had said,
due to the concept of Duel Atop Mount Hua from ‘The Legend of the Condor Heroes,’ a lot of people were traveling there.
In the comnts section, so even suspected Chu Kuang of taking money from Mount Hua’s officials to so vigorously promote Mount Hua in the novel—
This was one of the rare instances on Blue Star when a novel influenced tourism to a particular location.
Not dwelling on these matters anymore,
Lin Yuan opened the docunt to continue writing ‘The Return of the Condor Heroes.’ With the recent efforts, he had completed half of the novel.
This included the plot where Little Dragon Maiden’s chastity is compromised.
For this part of the story, Lin Yuan fully respected the original work.
Emotionally, Lin Yuan really wanted to change the Dragon Rider’s storyline. The part where Little Dragon Maiden is defiled by Zhen Zhibing is definitely a sore point for countless fans of ‘The Return of the Condor Heroes,’ forever an unresolved grievance.
But:
Yang Guo’s arm amputation and Little Dragon Maiden’s loss of chastity echoed the novel’s the of “incompleteness.”
Jin Yong’s novel went through several revisions and yet this segnt of the story remained, indicating that, artistically, it was necessary. Hence, Lin Yuan decided to be rational about it and keep the plot.
Even if readers might not like it.
It wasn’t Chu Kuang’s first ti writing plot points that upset readers anyway.
After all, having been called the old rascal for so many years, the persona was established, and one more act of mischief wouldn’t hurt.
Alright then.
Unknowingly, Lin Yuan had started to accept the setup that Chu Kuang was the “old rascal.”
——————
ps: The character of Dragon Rider aligns too well with Chu Kuang’s persona, so you understand. However, the part about Yi An is a copy… Following everyone’s suggestions, let’s have Chu Kuang answer what “Hero’s Mate” is.
