Jin Mu opened his mouth.

But he did not say anything in the end.

However, Jin Mu's concerns did not completely disappear.

In fact.

Jin Mu's concern was also the concern of many Internet users who supported Chu Kuang.

When everyone saw the official announcement from David that his new book for the Literary Duel with Chu Kuang was actually the second half of "A Legend Across the Sea", some users started questioning online:

"Is this against the rules?"

"David has an unfair advantage in this.

"Unless Chu Kuang's work is a sequel to 'Shuke and Beta', this disadvantage could be overcome."

"Indeed."

"After all, David defeated Bai Jie. His first half of 'A Legend Across the Sea' is already famous."

"Due to the fame of the first half of the book, a large number of readers will undoubtedly buy the second half even if its quality declines."

"Just like if Chu Kuang wrote a sequel to 'Shuke and Beta', I would definitely purchase it." Experience more on My Virtual Library Empire

"..."

Soon, some people from the Yan Continent expressed their helplessness:

"The Literary Duel is an established tradition initiated by us, the Yan People. Over these years, similar situations have occurred a few times. However, we have not prohibited such behavior. We only strive to avoid it."

To put it simply:

While this approach is controversial in the Yan Continent, it is not explicitly stated in the rules of the Literary Duel that it is forbidden.

Because this approach is controversial, hardly anyone in the Yan Continent would resort to it, to avoid being criticized for their unworthy method of winning the duel."

But David is not from the Yan Continent, he does not share these concerns.

Even if David took this step, he could completely excuse himself by saying that he had no prior knowledge of this issue.

In fact.

That's exactly how the Han people explained it:

"The Literary Duel is a tradition of the Yan people, we Han people do not fully understand it, and believe that the same goes for David."

"If it exists, it is reasonable. Since there is no clear regulation stating that this is improper, then there is no problem."

"Chu Kuang can write sequels to his other fairy tale stories."

"The first half and the second half cannot tell the same story, so they can be considered two novels."

"Besides, the success of the first part of 'A Legend Across the Sea' was all thanks to David's efforts."

"..."

It is said that "where you sit determines where you stand."

The Han people definitely stand on David's side.

Even though the Han people's explanation could not satisfy everyone, even those from the Yan Continent who invented the Literary Duel and who were eagerly hoping for David's defeat, could not criticize David.

Who was it that did not prohibit such behavior in their own Literary Duel project? The Yan People.

However, this inevitably casts a shadow over Chu Kuang's new book.

Both of their new works haven't been published yet, but David has already taken the lead through this method.

"This is a tough situation."

Some people worried for Chu Kuang: "Although Chu Kuang's fairy tales are also great, as we all know, Chu Kuang is best at writing short fairy tales. His long fairy tale 'Shuke and Beta' is indeed wonderful, but it's not necessarily at a higher level than Bai Jie's. However, David beat Bai Jie and now he has taken the initiative in the rules."

Chu Kuang is the King of Short Fairy Tales.

His long fairy tales are impressive, but both the industry insiders and ordinary readers agree that Chu Kuang's long fairy tales are not as excellent as his short ones.

Which is normal.

Chu Kuang's "Fairytale Town" includes many top-level short fairy tale stories from Earth. It is the culmination of the works of more than one fairy tale master.

All are the essence of the top fairy tales on Earth.

While "Shuke and Beta" is amazing, it is just one long fairy tale written by Teacher Zheng.

To have this kind of evaluation is completely normal.

At this time, someone optimistically said:

"What if the fairy tale by Teacher Chu Kuang is actually a sequel to 'Shuke and Beta'?"

This eased some people's minds a bit.

If it was a sequel to 'Shuke and Beta', there was still room to play. The foundation of the previous work was equally massive!

It can tough it out with the second half of 'A Legend Across the Sea'!

At this time, only Jin Mu knew that there was no sequel to 'Shuke and Beta' at all.

Chu Kuang's new fairy tale is called "Alice in Wonderland". It is a completely new fairy tale story.

There was no secret, it didn't need to be kept until the end.

So...

A few days later, Silver Blue Books communicated with Jin Mu over the phone and took the opportunity to announce the news of Chu Kuang's new fairy tale, as a form of early promotion.

"Chu Kuang's new fairy tale 'Alice in Wonderland', the release date is yet to be decided, please stay tuned!"

The internet was abuzz in no time.

Chu Kuang's new fairy tale is called 'Alice in Wonderland'!

It's not the sequel to 'Shuke and Beta' that some people were anticipating!

David is still getting the better deal!

Chu Kuang is still at an innate disadvantage!

At this moment.

Suddenly, some people find the title "Alice in Wonderland" sounds a little familiar.

Some make the connection:

"Holy crap! Could this Alice is the same Alice mentioned in Xian Yu's song 'Fairytale Town'?"

The song "Fairytale Town"?

Many people instantly think of the song lyrics!

A lot of people can sing that song.

And the lyrics are deeply engraved in their minds.

A line in the song says, "Heard that Mad Hat likes Alice."

When the song was released, Chu Kuang openly said, "The unknown characters mentioned in the song 'Fairytale Town' will successively appear in my future fairy tales."

And it was indeed so.

After the release of "Fairytale Town", Chu Kuang wrote his first long fairy tale novel about Shuke and Beta from the song lyrics.

And now.

Alice, from the song, is about to make her debut!

Some people dug up Chu Kuang's original post and reflected it emotionally:

"Chu Kuang is truly amazing. Turns out, even back then, he already had the idea of creating 'Alice in Wonderland'."

"Weren't 'Harry Potter' or something also mentioned in the lyrics?"

"And Peter Pan. I remember that name because it's interesting."

"I recall Pinocchio being mentioned."

"Right, and the Little Prince."

"So many of them."

"Back then, many netizens said that each name in the song lyrics was a plot yet to be revealed."

"Turns out, Chu Kuang still has many fairy tales to be written."

"This 'Alice in Wonderland' is the start, just like 'Shuke and Beta'."

"Mad Hat likes Alice, that lyric, indicates that Mad Hat should also appear in his new book."

"..."

For a moment, many people marveled at Chu Kuang's brilliance.

Starting from 'Shuke and Beta'.

To the upcoming 'Alice in Wonderland'.

Continually corresponding the song lyrics to characters, validating what he had originally claimed!

From Shuke and Beta, to Mad Hat and Alice...

The characters in the song really are making their way onto the stage.

Even last year, or earlier, Chu Kuang had already sketched out a blueprint for his future fairy tales!

Some people made a tally and were shocked:

Chu Kuang has given advance notice for six of his fairy tales!

Question is:

How many authors on Blue Star dare to hint at their future works through a song?

The answer is, not many!

At this point, the only one is Chu Kuang!

Many writers don't even know what their next work will look like.

After all...

It's impossible to predict when inspiration will strike.

But Chu Kuang did it!

Not only did he give advance notice for six fairy tales, but he also successively brought those works to life!

The first one is out, and the second is about to be released!

This proves that Chu Kuang's hints were not baseless!

"If they are short fairy tales, then it's easier to conceptualize. But if they're all long tales, then it's insane."

Someone said uncertainly.

At this moment.

It seems that Silver Blue Books has also noticed the fans' discussions, and they updated their tribe's official microblog:

"Just had a conversation with Chu Kuang's manager. The unfamiliar characters mentioned in the song 'Fairytale Town' are from his future long fairy tales, including stories that are millions of words long!"

Fans: Σ(°△°|||)︴!!!

There really is a fairy tale universe in Chu Kuang's mind!

————————

ps: This explains why we altered a few lyrics in 'Fairytale Town'. We wanted to hint at the upcoming six fairy tales. It would be interesting when people revisit the song after all six fairy tales have been released and realized each tale is a classic. That's it for today, and as usual, asking for monthly votes~
