My house collapsed from the top, and the system just came?

North America, Children's Literature Association Headquarters.

This has always been a calm, peaceful place.

Even the staff inside, everyone exudes the temperament of a scholar, and is very elegant in every gesture.

until today.

The long-lasting tranquility was broken, and there were exclamations and screams everywhere.

Many people were walking around in a hurry, completely losing their grace.

"God!"

"I can't imagine it."

"Where did this Xilou come from?"

"The global fairy tale circle was shocked? It even surpassed the revision of "World Fairy Tale Encyclopedia"?"

"Does he really want to challenge so many people at once?"

"Aren't Chinese people always quiet, reserved, and secretive? How could such a madman be born?"

"..."

Soon, in the conference room, the senior management of the Children's Literature Association held a meeting.

The president had a complicated expression: "Everyone, today's meeting is not about the revision of "World Fairy Tale King", but about the PK between Xilou and a group of fairy tale kings. Now that both parties have accepted the challenge, the pressure is on us. After all, their challenge is to let members of our association be the referees. What do you think?"

Suddenly, there was a lot of noise.

"This is a matter between them, why should we get involved?"

"You're right, don't pay any attention to it at all."

"It's impossible to ignore it, because we made an announcement at the beginning, saying that we would select outstanding works from this showdown to be included in "World Fairy Tale King"."

"Yeah, we can't stay away."

Everyone has their own opinion.

The president listened for a while, signaled everyone to be quiet, and then said: "Because this is a matter in the fairy tale world, we must be involved, and we cannot turn a blind eye. There is no doubt about this. And there is no need to worry about the negative impact of this matter. On the contrary, the challenges from both sides have just made the fairy tale circle more popular, which has a great role in promoting the promotion and publicity of fairy tale works around the world.

And I think that under such heat and pressure, it is more conducive to the production of excellent fairy tale works.

Therefore, I decided to officially intervene in the duel between the two sides.

I will select a team of referees from the association to be responsible for this.

The referee team has several tasks:

First, review the works of both parties to ensure their basic quality.

Second, on the premise of anonymizing the names of all writers, the works of both parties will be published to the world.

Third, he is responsible for collecting all data about the work, such as votes, popularity, reactions from children and adults, etc.

Fourth, the results will be announced one month later. "

soon.

Everyone voted by a show of hands and passed the president's resolution.

Half an hour later, the Children's Literature Association announced that it would formally intervene in the PK between the two parties as a referee and open submission channels. From now on, both parties can submit their fairy tale works to the judging panel.

So far.

This unprecedented showdown has officially begun.

…

On Instagram, Xilou’s followers quickly soared from zero to more than six million in just one day.

When the next day came, it had already exceeded the 10 million mark!

It can be said that this rate of increase in fans has left countless celebrities dumbfounded.

In one day, he became an internationally famous figure with tens of millions of fans.

However, in the comment area, almost all fans from all over the world were ridiculing, and other than that, they were just spectators.

"Just wait, the West Building will definitely be ravaged by more than 20 fairy tale writers."

"I really can't imagine where Xilou got his courage. I'm scared just thinking about it."

"Sometimes overconfidence is not a good thing."

"Hahaha, publishing ten fairy tales at once? It's ridiculous."

"Sit back and wait for a slap in the face."

"Sit back and wait for a slap in the face."

"..."

In the fairy tale circle, Frederick, Lucas and others were already very familiar with each other.

At this moment, they are communicating with each other on some international communication software.

Frederick: "Guys, none of us can lose this time."

Lucas: "Don't worry, I have no problem here. With this new work of mine, if I lose to an unknown person, I, Lucas, will quit the fairy tale circle from now on."

Ryan: "Although I don't have the confidence to compete in the "World's Fairy Tales" this time, there is still no problem in beating Xilou."

Gabriel: "To be honest, although I was provoked by Xi Lou to officially start a PK with him, I still didn't take it to heart. My goal is still the "World's Fairy Tales"."

Ilaya: "What Mr. Gabriel said is absolutely true. It's just the West Tower. There's no need to care about it. My goal is also the "Encyclopedia of World Fairy Tales."

Brett sneered: "Besides being arrogant, Xilou also has no brains. He thought that everyone hiding their names and competing on a fair basis would be beneficial to him. But he didn't know that for those of us to be famous today, all He came up through absolute strength. On the contrary, without the blessing of the author's fame, it is equivalent to not having the support of Huaxia's huge fans. If he did not hide his name, with the support of fans, he might really be able to win against us. One or two people. But now, he has cut off his arms and doesn't even have the slightest chance."

Everyone's words revealed pride.

Which side has more fairy tales in the top ten?

Hahaha!

They have only one goal: in this PK, they want Xilou to take all the top ten and make all ten of Xilou's works finish at the bottom. If anyone's fairy tale is surpassed by Xilou, just wait to be ridiculed.

Frederick: "My work has been submitted."

Brett: “Mine is voted in too.”

Lucas: "Vote."

Joshua: "Vote in."

Lancelot: "voted."

All new works have been submitted to the Children's Literature Association judging panel.

Next, just wait to be crushed!

This time, they are going to crush this arrogant guy Xilou into slag.

There is no second outcome!

…

China, Yunhai Media.

Fu Hong found Wang Mo, but at this moment her face was almost flushed and her hands were shaking uncontrollably.

She looked at Wang Mo's expression, almost full of fanatical admiration: "Ah Mo...I have already submitted all ten fairy tales to the Children's Literature Association. They replied: All works will be released globally in five days. . Of course, since all works do not have the name of the author, they cannot be published offline and can only be published online. Because the Internet is now developed, the effect of online publishing is not worse than offline. And online publishing is also more conducive to data collection.”

"Um."

Wang Mo nodded and asked, "Have you arranged for an illustrator to draw the relevant illustrations?"

In his opinion, in a fairy tale work, although the story content is the most important, the illustrations are also very important. Exquisite illustrations can often leave a deep impression on readers at first glance, and they may even remain unforgettable for a lifetime.

Therefore, illustrations must ensure quality.

Fu Hong immediately said: "The Children's Literature Association said that in order not to leak the author's information, they will arrange illustrators to draw the works. But don't worry, Ah Mo, the Children's Literature Association has always had the world's top illustrators. The illustrations that come out will definitely not disappoint you.”

"good."

Wang Mo has read through the "Encyclopedia of World Fairy Tales" in the past two days and knows that the illustrations in it are indeed from the hands of famous artists, and each article is very beautiful.

After paying Hong to leave.

Wang Mo lay back on the chair and looked out the window.

I thought to myself: "The ten fairy tales this time should be enough for me to open the door to international literature, right?"

Think about it.

He said firmly: It’s definitely enough!

After all, the ten fairy tales he selected were all world-famous and popular fairy tales in their previous lives, and any one of them reached billions of people.

In fact, Wang Mo originally planned to give 26 fairy tale writers who challenged him a one-on-one challenge by writing a fairy tale for each of them. But he felt that might be a bit too much, so in the end he just chose ten fairy tales.

After all, I will still have to work internationally in the future, so I have to give the other party some face, right?

…

Children's Literature Association Headquarters.

Although it was already night, the office area was still brightly lit.

More than twenty members of the referee team are busy.

"Reporting to the team leader, Lucas' work has arrived."

"Reporting to the team leader, Frederick has sent his work."

"I received Joshua's fairy tale here."

"..."

Everyone is reporting on their work in an orderly manner.

There are even exclamations often heard.

"Oh, God! Frederick's new book is so beautifully written."

"This is Ryan's new fairy tale? Isn't it great?"

"Lucas is indeed the eternal god! This fairy tale is enough to be included in the classics."

"..."

When the sound comes and goes in the office area.

Matthew, the leader of the referee team, was opening his mailbox because he had just received a call from Huaxia, saying that Xilou’s work had been sent to him.

"Xilou really sent ten fairy tales?"

There was curiosity in Matthew's eyes, and he wanted to know if Xilou had really produced ten fairy tales of excellent quality.

Different from others, in fact, Matthew has carefully read the five fairy tales submitted by Xilou in the past few days. He feels that except for "Monkey Catching the Moon" and "Crow Drinking Water", which can only be regarded as average, the other three are all good. Excellent enough. Maybe "Scarecrow" is a little more profound, but "Ma Liang" has definitely reached a world-class level. Although this time it was scrapped because the data did not meet the standards, there is a high probability that it will be able to do it in the next revision. Selected into the "Encyclopedia of World Fairy Tales".

Therefore, Matthew still recognized Xilou's strength.

However, regarding this incident, he still believed that Xilou was too arrogant.

Publish ten fairy tales at once?

Challenge more than twenty fairy tale writers at once?

so crazy.

"Maybe he is a young man who is a little too impulsive..."

Matthew thought to himself.

It’s not easy to produce a top fairy tale writer in China, but don’t let one challenge ruin it.

"well……"

He didn't think that Xilou's behavior this time was wise at all. Xilou's reckless actions will most likely end in a disastrous defeat and ridicule by the entire network.

Sighed.

Then I opened the mailbox and downloaded the encrypted file to my computer.

is a PDF file.

When I opened it, I saw that all ten fairy tales from the West Tower appeared inside.

The first page is a table of contents of ten fairy tales.

Matthew looked intently and saw clearly:

The first article: "Snow White".

The second article: "The Ugly Duckling".

The third article: "Little Red Riding Hood".

Chapter 4: "Cinderella".

Chapter 5: "The Little Match Girl".

Chapter Six: "Sleeping Beauty".

Chapter 7: "The Frog Prince".

Chapter 8: "The Daughter of the Sea".

Chapter 9: "Thumbelina".

Chapter 10: "The Emperor's New Clothes".

Just looking at the titles of these fairy tales doesn't tell you much.

Matthew immediately clicked on the first fairy tale: "Snow White".

[In a far away country, there lived a king and a queen who longed to have a child. So I prayed to God sincerely. "Oh God! We are all good kings and queens. Please give us a child!" Soon after, the queen gave birth to a lovely little princess. This girl's skin was as white as snow and her cheeks were as red as red. She was like an apple and had smooth black hair, so the king and queen named her "Snow White". 】

At the beginning, Matthew still had a trace of laziness in his eyes.

But gradually, he sat up straight, picked up his glasses, and his eyes became focused.

ten minutes later……

"this……"

Matthew re-read the title of this fairy tale: "Snow White", and for a moment he didn't know what kind of judgment to make.

His expression became serious.

Because he felt that the style of Xilou's story seemed to have changed.

The previous five fairy tales all reveal a strong oriental cultural style.

However, this story seems to fit perfectly with Western culture. This surprised him. After all, it was incredible that an Easterner understood the characteristics of Western literature so well.

The key is the plot of the story: a Snow White, a magic mirror, seven dwarfs... these contents were invisibly burned into the depths of his mind after he read the story.

He rubbed his brows.

Matthew read the second fairy tale: "The Ugly Duckling".

"Um?"

When I saw the ugly duckling finally turning into a beautiful white swan, I was stunned and stared at the words on the computer in a daze.

The first "Snow White" has been engraved into his soul.

At this moment, the second chapter "The Ugly Duckling" actually shook his heart again.

Matthew was a little out of breath.

He took a few deep breaths to calm himself down, and then started reading the third story: "Little Red Riding Hood".

"God!"

After Matthew finished reading the third fairy tale, he could no longer calm down and exclaimed for the first time.

The first article is if it is an accident.

The second part is about strength.

And when the third article appeared, there were no words to describe Matthew's inner turmoil at this moment.

This time, he sat there and was stunned for a long time before continuing to read.

Next is the fourth fairy tale: "Cinderella".

When you see half of it.

Matthew clearly felt that his breathing became heavy again.

"Hiss~~~"

It's late autumn now and the weather is very cool. However, Matthew felt that his whole body was hot, and a layer of dense sweat gradually formed on his forehead.

Cinderella's feet matched the glass slippers, and Matthew's heart sank.

Yes.

sink...

He can become a core member of the Children's Literature Association, he is a world-class editor, and he has extremely vicious eyes when it comes to reviewing fairy tales.

But at this moment, his eyes were no longer vicious or scrutinizing, only the shock that made his heart palpitate.

"The little match girl..."

This is the fifth story.

The poor little girl huddled in the street in the heavy snow, struck one match after another, and finally froze to death on the street in her fantasy.

Matthew's heart was touched inexplicably, and he felt that his realization was a little hazy. He stretched out his hand to wipe it, and found that he had tears in his eyes without knowing it.

At this moment, more than an hour has passed.

Matthew felt that he had never read so slowly. He chewed each word, cautiously fearing that they would disappear.

Then comes the sixth fairy tale.

It's called "Sleeping Beauty."

Matthew no longer regards himself as a referee, but as a devout reader, watching and touching. This is a story about a prince rescuing a princess that many fairy tale writers have already written badly.

But this time, Matthew was still attracted to it. It was not until the curse was finally removed and Sleeping Beauty woke up that he breathed a long sigh of relief.

Matthew looked up.

He didn't dare to look any further.

Six fairy tales, six stories, made his heart tumble six times.

Only then did he realize that his hand holding the mouse was already soaked in sweat without even realizing it.

"rest."

"calm."

Matthew sat on the chair, rubbed his eyes, took a few deep breaths, shook his absent-minded head, and then clicked on the next story with all his strength.

"Frog prince."

For someone who has been immersed in children's literature for more than twenty years, he knows that one's imagination is limited. Even the most outstanding fairy tale king in history only wrote a few classic works in his lifetime.

So after he read the first six fairy tales, he felt that his imagination had already reached the limit of human beings.

But it wasn't until he finished reading "The Frog Prince" that Matthew discovered that only he and other fairy tale writers had limited imagination, not including Xilou.

"Oh, God……"

He murmured and opened the eighth fairy tale with his trembling right hand.

He is still the cliche prince, but this time it is the mermaid who lost her beautiful singing voice to the evil witch in order to pursue her love. She endured great pain and became a human being, abandoning everything to pursue her love. However, he left sadly in the end.

Reluctance, depression, pain... After reading "The Daughter of the Sea", Matthew was moved again. There are very few fairy tales that are beautiful yet poignant, but this is still the first time he has seen one that is so poignant.

With red and sour eyes, he looked at the ninth story: "Thumbelina".

This time, I was finally no longer sad and miserable.

But it was the little Thumbelina that made him almost see another fairy tale world, with eyes full of curiosity.

It turns out that the imagination of the fairy tale world breaks through the limits, and there are stories like this presented.

"..."

At this moment, Matthew couldn't even express his surprise.

Just stared at the screen blankly.

Then naturally I turned to the last story.

"Emperor's New Clothes……"

The innocent fairy tale and the profound irony are clearly revealed in this fairy tale.

"But he's not wearing any clothes!"

When Matthew saw the innocent child say these words, he felt a kind of heat welling up in his heart, going straight to his forehead. It was a kind of shock that he saw the world on the phone rising infinitely at this moment, which almost made him feel overwhelmed. He knelt down and worshiped.

finally.

it's over.

Read all ten fairy tales.

Matthew sat on the chair and didn't speak for a long time. His eyes were still fixed on the computer, but they seemed empty, and his thoughts were wandering to nowhere.

that's all.

After a long time, he smiled bitterly: "Challenge? Ha."

…

Matthew glanced at the time and realized that he had been sitting in front of the computer for nearly three hours without realizing it. Ten short fairy tales took him such a long time, which was unprecedented.

But he still felt that time passed so quickly.

Various images still appeared in his mind, and he couldn't get rid of them.

For example: Snow White and the dwarfs, the ugly duckling who turned into a white swan, the running away Cinderella, the little girl curled up in the snow and lighting a match, the Sleeping Beauty who has been sleeping quietly for thousands of years, the tragic mermaid princess, the little Thumbelina...

Too much too much.

After a long time.

Matthew's thoughts finally returned.

The surrounding noise gradually became heard.

"The new work Steven sent this time is really incredible."

"It's so well written! Brett's fairy tale, I would like to call it a classic."

"Wow! This fairy tale is so cleverly conceived."

"Oh my God, everything is above the classic level."

"That boy from the East is miserable."

"Yes, he will definitely be trampled to pieces."

"Actually, Xilou is not weak either."

"No matter how strong you are, you can't compete with so many fairy tale kings. No one can compete with you."

"..."

Various discussions reached Matthew's ears.

Matthew rubbed his eyebrows again and said a second time: "Heh."

not far away.

After reviewing a piece of work, the deputy team leader next to him came over, his eyes shining: "Hey! Matthew, I have to say that I must thank Xilou this time. Although he will most likely become cannon fodder this time, he This challenge has enabled these fairy tale writers to produce their most proud new works."

"oh?"

Matthew raised his eyebrows and looked at the deputy leader.

The deputy team leader was still excited and said: "Excellent products, all of them are excellent products. Frederick, Brett, Lucas... the stories brought out by everyone are all great works. It seems that this time the West Building is It really pissed them off. It's just a pity for Xilou. I'm afraid that after this PK, he can only be ridiculed by netizens all over the world, and then withdraw from the international stage in despair. Oh, by the way... I saw you just pounced After working in front of the computer for two or three hours, whose work are you looking at?”

Matthew: "In the west building."

The deputy team leader exclaimed: "Did Xilou's manuscript come over? Did he really send over ten fairy tales?"

Matthew: "Yes."

"Hey, you're really brave."

The deputy team leader pouted and said with a smile: "But ten fairy tales won't take such a long time, right? Is it because there are too many complaints that you can't comment on?"

Matthew had a complicated expression.

After a while.

He forced a smile: "The complaints are false, but there is no way to judge whether the comments are true."

"What's the meaning?"

The deputy team leader had doubts in his eyes, feeling that Matthew's words were telling a riddle.

Matthew had no explanation.

He pushed his computer directly in front of the deputy team leader: "Here, you can see for yourself."

"Um?"

The deputy team leader looked strange and stepped forward. (End of chapter)
