Chapter 434 I just ask you, are you in pain?
When the deputy team leader approached, he was still wondering: Has the team leader lost control of his expression today?
He really couldn't understand the complicated expression on Matthew's face when he talked about letting him read Xi Lou Fairy Tale: he was confused, shocked, and confused.
Even the deputy team leader saw worship from the depths of Matthew's eyes.
"Worship? What the hell!"
The deputy leader muttered in his mind.
He thought he had made a mistake and made Matthew worship Xilou? It’s even more outrageous than when the sun rises from the west.
Read the book first.
The deputy team leader felt that he could finish reading ten fairy tales very quickly.
His review speed has always been very fast.
This is also the origin of his nickname "Knife Hand".
but.
The deputy team leader didn’t expect that.
One minute... two minutes... ten minutes... one hour... two hours.
This time, the deputy team leader read longer than Matthew, and even read the next story for longer and longer. It was not until more than three hours later that the deputy team leader raised his head blankly: "Team leader?"
Matthew smiled and said, "Have you finished reading?"
The deputy team leader nodded: "Yes."
Matthew: "How?"
The deputy team leader opened his mouth, closed it again, and finally choked out a few words: "Fairy Tale Circle, the sky is about to change..."
The next few days.
God knows how the staff at the Children's Literature Society got through it.
Anyway, their internal staff knew that in a short period of time, when they mentioned the name "West Tower", there was no longer any disdain or ridicule, but a look similar to worshiping God in their eyes.
…
Five days later.
At the time agreed by the Children's Literature Association, the works of Xilou and twenty-six fairy tale writers were officially released.
This fairy tale work is published globally.
Since it is not offline, it is released simultaneously on the Children's Literature Association's official children's websites, social platforms, children's education platforms, and almost all other online platforms related to children in more than 100 countries around the world.
Its influence can be said to far exceed offline.
Covering more than 80% of children's families in the world and almost all Internet users.
certainly.
In addition to the release of fairy tales, the Children's Literature Association also opened a voting session on the largest social accounts in each country.
Each audience member has five votes to vote for their favorite works.
Netizens who had been waiting impatiently for a long time all flocked to the event.
"It's here, it's finally here!"
"so excited."
"Hahahaha, the big food abuse moment has officially begun."
"I finally get to see Lucas' new work again."
"After three years of waiting, Lancelot finally launches a new fairy tale again. I'm so looking forward to it."
"The key is that the names of these people have been concealed. Can you tell who is who?"
"Each fairy tale writer has his or her own writing characteristics, and I think I can distinguish between 70 and 80% of them."
"It doesn't matter if you can't judge, just appreciate it."
"..."
Thousands of netizens around the world immediately opened the Internet and began to read the masterpieces of more than 20 fairy tale writers.
…
Dan sells.
Frederick was sitting in some childlike house. Because he feels that a fairy tale writer must keep himself and the surrounding environment full of childishness in order to create good fairy tales.
"A new journey has begun!"
Seeing that the Children's Literature Association officially released 36 fairy tale works (26 stories by 26 fairy tale writers + 10 stories by Xilou), Frederick's eyes burst out with blazing light.
He had a grand wish in his heart: this time, he just wanted to take advantage of the popularity of Xilou to enter the Chinese market. But now that things have developed, his wish has changed. He wants to be included in the "Encyclopedia of World Fairy Tales"!
He firmly believes it!
The fairy tale he came up with this time must be able to do it.
Forget about West Tower.
What Lucas!
What Lancelot!
He ignored them all.
"Thank you, Xilou, for giving me this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I think my "Crystal Princess" will definitely win the top three in this challenge, and even reach the top of the list, and then be selected by the Children's Literature Association."
Frederick clenched his fist fiercely.
"Crystal Princess" is the most satisfying fairy tale work he has created for more than 20 years. He has this confidence.
"Well, let's first take a look at other people's works and see how the quality is."
Although Frederick is full of confidence, he also knows that his competitors are very strong this time. There are several people who are the world's top fairy tale kings.
What if someone else’s work is better?
soon.
He saw the latest 36 fairy tales uploaded on the official website of "Fairy Tale World".
Sure enough, none of the stories have author names.
No one is sure whose work they are.
Open the first fairy tale called "Candy Adventure". The story is about a group of cute candies who, in order to escape the danger of being eaten by humans and animals, embark on an exciting and thrilling escape. But in the end they were all eaten by a child.
The story is humorous and very suitable for children.
After Frederick read it, his expression became more solemn: "Looking at the style of this story, it should be written by Ilaya or Damian. My work is not as good as it. It seems that "Crystal Princess" can only be ranked Second."
then.
He finished reading the second fairy tale "The Garden Elf", and now he couldn't hold himself back, because this fairy tale seemed to be better than his work.
"It's not a big problem. I probably saw the two best fairy tales. "The Crystal Princess" ranks third, which is acceptable."
Frederick thought to himself.
But then, he frowned more and more.
Because he has read five more fairy tales. Three of these five fairy tales are obviously higher than his works, and the other two are on par with him.
In other words, it seems that "Crystal Princess" can only be ranked sixth at most.
"What's going on? Have all these fairy tale writers exploded?"
Frederick was secretly frightened, as if a ladle of cold water had been poured on his head, and all his good wishes were in vain at this moment.
Shit, top three.
Shit, it’s qualified to be included in the “Encyclopedia of World Fairy Tales”.
Now he has only one wish: he hopes to keep the top ten and never fall below the top ten.
After all, with his fame and strength, he can rank ninth or tenth among this group of people. If the work cannot even keep its ranking in the top ten, then this competition will be a waste of money. On the day when the author's name is revealed, his reputation will probably fall instead of rising.
"Steady! Must hold steady!"
Frederick clenched his fists hard and continued reading.
Then, he saw "Snow White"...
As a world-class fairy tale writer, he knows the importance of this fairy tale best.
After reading it, he almost felt a surge in his heart.
who is it?
Lucas?
Joshua?
Steven?
Which fairy tale king was inspired again and created such a stunning fairy tale?
He was sure that based on the quality of this "Snow White", it would be a classic enough to enter the top ten in Blue Star's fairy tale history!
No matter who created this fairy tale, let alone being included in the "World Fairy Tale Encyclopedia", the author will definitely become the world's top fairy tale king!
Frederick's whole body was numb.
but!
Don't be numb first!
Because next, he saw "The Ugly Duckling", "Little Red Riding Hood", "Cinderella", "The Daughter of the Sea"...
At first, Frederick was just shocked.
As I watched, I became dumbfounded and numb.
Until the end, he just sat there, his whole soul gone.
He felt an invisible thread strangling his neck, making it so painful that it was difficult to breathe.
Bullshit top ten!
Looking at this situation, I may not even be able to keep the top twenty, and I can only be reduced to cannon fodder at the bottom.
"It's over...it's over..."
Frederick felt that the world had become gloomy, and he felt crazy: "What the hell, you are all secretly making progress. Is it only me who has regressed in cooperation? With the writing style of "Snow White", ten Eighty-nine times it is Joshua's new work. "The Ugly Duckling" is most likely written by Lucas... Farke! Farke!"
All these people have abandoned him! ! !
Although it is difficult to determine the author of a fairy tale alone, Frederic can still vaguely see the style of some works and determine whose hand they are from. After all, apart from these authors, he couldn't think of another person with such a level.
Thinking of this, Frederick could no longer control his inner grief and anger, and contacted his friend Joshua.
This bastard!
He actually wrote "Snow White"! ! !
…
at the same time.
Joshua has also finished reading all the fairy tales. His eyes are empty, his whole person has collapsed, he is dumbfounded, and he is dull...
"Am I... useless?"
Unlike Frederic, Joshua is the top fairy tale king in Blue Star today. This time he thought that he would be able to secure first place in the competition with his new work "Garden Elf" that he had worked hard on for several months.
But now, he found that his fairy tale couldn't even make the top ten.
The ten fairy tales he just read were like ten mountains pressing on his head, giving him a deep sense of powerlessness.
He was originally a very conceited person, and he also had conceited capital. With one of his fairy tales included in the "World Fairy Tale Encyclopedia", he has always been the leader in today's fairy tale circles. Both the name and the work have spread throughout the world.
But now, he was shocked to find that in this competition, so many works were better than his own.
The negative psychological impact made Joshua almost depressed.
However, what frightened him even more was that the article "Sleeping Beauty" was too similar to the writing style of his friend Frederick, so it was most likely written by him.
Haha, I didn't expect... I didn't expect... Unknowingly, Frederick had already surpassed him.
He was happy for the other person.
But also sad for myself.
Just then, the phone rang.
Joshua took a look and answered the phone: "Frey..."
Just spoke.
Frederick's raw voice rang in his ears: "Joshua, congratulations to you. I didn't expect that your strength would rise again after not seeing each other for a long time."
Joshua: "???"
Frederick: "I didn't expect you to create such a wonderful fairy tale."
Joshua: "???"
Are you making fun of me?
After calming down, Joshua still felt that he should not be as knowledgeable as his friends, so he forced a smile: "Frederick, congratulations, you will surpass me from now on."
Frederick: "Huh?"
Joshua: "Stop pretending."
Frederick: "???"
Joshua was angry: "What the hell, you're still hiding it, do you really not regard me as a friend? Very good, then let me suffer alone!!!"
Snapped!
The phone hangs up.
On the other side, Frederick was also angry.
Mudd!
Who is pretending?
It became like this when I wrote "Snow White" by myself!
You are pretending to be stupid and in pain.
I am the one who is really in pain, okay! ! !
"Beverage our relationship! We will break our relationship from now on!"
Frederick roared into the air, his already depressed mood now becoming even more painful.
Think about it.
He called Gabriel again. In his opinion, the "Cinderella" article was most likely written by the other party. So he was also going to congratulate him.
The call just got through.
Gabriel's hoarse voice rang out: "Frederick, congratulations. You will definitely have a place as the future fairy tale king of Blue Star."
Frederick: "???"
Grass!
I came to congratulate him again. What happened to each of these people?
Did you mistake a certain fairy tale work for one you wrote?
But it’s impossible!
His "Crystal Princess" has its own strong style.
But Frederick didn't know that he thought it was one thing, and others guessed it was another thing. With preconceived ideas, the probability of others making a wrong judgment is too great.
Before he could speak, he heard Gabriel continue to sigh: "It must be that I am falling behind. After this competition, I will probably retire."
Frederick frowned.
Damn it, I met another pretender.
He forced down the turmoil in his heart and asked calmly: "You won't say that you are in pain now, right?"
Gabriel smiled bitterly: "Of course."
He is a world-class fairy tale king. In this duel, he has no hope of entering the top ten. Isn't it painful? I have thoughts of committing suicide.
However.
Frederick heard it.
Snapped!
Hang up the phone.
Damn you, you are in pain! Of course you are stupid!
You guys are all here to perform sadistic tricks, right?
Suddenly, Frederick understood: "I know, these people must have seen that my works are at the bottom level, so in order to sympathize with me, they deliberately pretended to be painful. Yes, that's definitely the case. .”
After all, his works also have his own characteristics. If you are familiar with him, you will most likely be able to distinguish them. Just like he could tell that "Snow White" was most likely written by Joshua.
But!
Frederick, who figured it out, became even more angry.
Because this kind of sympathy is not rare for him!
It even made him feel more humiliated.
Taking a deep breath, Frederic contacted his third friend, Lucas.
He is still very confident about Lucas, because the other person is a bold and informal North American bearded man, and he does not believe that the other person will treat him poorly.
Then……
Lucas was quickly contacted.
Soon, he heard Lucas's voice: "Congratulations..."
Frederick's face turned dark immediately, and he said coldly: "You don't want to congratulate me too, and then say that you are in pain, right?"
Lucas was stunned: "How...how do you know?"
Frederick broke through his defense in an instant, and one word popped out from between his teeth: "Get out!"
Snapped!
He threw the phone directly.
in faraway North America.
A bearded man listened to the busy signal on the phone, his face full of confusion and confusion: "I... am really in pain. Why did you all throw your phones down when you heard me say I was in pain today?"
Yes.
This wasn't the first time Lucas heard someone throw a cell phone.
Just now, he had spoken to several people on the phone, and when they heard him saying that they were in pain, they got angry.
This made Lucas almost collapse.
Heaven.
earth.
Are you not even allowed to suffer now?
You have created good fairy tales one by one, why don't you allow me to suffer the pain of being thrown into the street?
unacceptable! ! !
Woohoo.
The bearded Lucas felt as wronged as a child.
…
Of course, Lucas didn't know that except for him, the other 25 fairy tale writers all had bitter faces and were all doubting life.
Each one is more depressed than the other.
Each one is more painful than the last.
They had looked like proud roosters a few hours ago, but now they were all crestfallen.
Because they discovered that there was no chance that their work would make the top ten!
The key is that they also feel that the top ten works are all written by their friends or a few other acquaintances, which is the most painful thing.
Forget it if you can't do it yourself.
Others are still good at it.
Once they fall together, the gap in their hearts widens infinitely.
and……
What made them hate it even more was that none of these guys admitted that those articles were written by themselves. They all pretended to be as miserable as themselves.
Pretending to be your sister!
Labor and management are the most painful, okay?
It's so hateful to be nakedly humiliated by you guys! How abominable!
So to the end.
When everyone calls each other, they become more direct.
Don’t congratulate the other party.
Don't complain about yourself.
Ask directly: "I just want to ask you, are you in pain?"
Then, they replied one by one.
"I'm in pain."
"how do you know?"
"It's really painful."
"I'm useless."
"..."
No one smiled and said it was okay or that they played well.
Madhu, you are a liar. You are all miserable and deny your achievements, so who wrote these works? It’s not like it was all written by Xilou, right?
That's enough! ! !
…
When Frederick, Lucas and everyone else were in pain, self-doubt in life, and at the same time dissatisfied with the attitudes of others.
In distant China.
Wang Mo is admiring the illustrations drawn by the Children's Literature Association for his ten fairy tales.
It was indeed the top association in the fairy tale world. Each of the ten illustrations was so exquisite that it took his breath away.
For example, in the illustration of "Snow White", the scene depicts Snow White dancing surrounded by seven dwarfs. The noble beauty of Snow White and the magic of the dwarfs are undoubtedly highlighted. People can be deeply attracted at a glance.
"Awesome! Beautiful!"
Wang Mo couldn't help but admire.
With these good illustrations, it will definitely add a lot of color to fairy tale works.
After admiring it for a long time, he opened the works of other fairy tale writers.
Although he is full of confidence in himself, after all, they are a collection of ten of the most classic fairy tales such as "Andersen's Fairy Tales" and "Grimm's Fairy Tales", which have dominated countless dynasties on the earth. If they can't even compare to the works of several contemporary fairy tale writers from Blue Star, then it's too inferior.
But he still wanted to see the quality of these people's work.
Soon, he opened the work.
""Garden Elf", "Crystal Princess", "Starry Night Appointment", "Adventures on the Rainbow Bridge"..."
Wang Mo nodded secretly.
In terms of quality, these fairy tales are indeed well written, and they often even have plots and settings that make his eyes shine. In particular, Wang Mo was amazed by several works such as "Garden Elf". It seems that these top fairy tale writers in Blue Star are all very capable.
Just when Wang Mo was sighing.
Yuan Xiong had already abandoned everything and rushed over: "Ah Mo, did you really take ten fairy tales to compete with those world-class fairy tale writers?"
Wang Mo smiled and said: "How can this be false?"
Yuan Xiong: "You guys are really getting more and more crazy. Can you compare? If you can't compare, international trolls are no worse than domestic trolls, and they will even bring the country and nation to humiliate you. "
Wang Mo smiled: "It should be no problem."
Yuan Xiong knew Wang Mo's urine properties.
Seeing him say this, it should be a sure thing.
But he still asked: "Which are the ten fairy tales you wrote? Let me take a look."
"good."
Wang Mo pushed the computer over, "This...this...and these articles were all written by me."
Yuan Xiong wrote down their names and read them one by one.
At first, he was careless. As a mature and stable middle-aged man, how could he be interested in children's fairy tales. The joys and sorrows of adults and children are never understood.
It's like his son particularly likes "Ma Liang, the Magic Brush", but to Yuan Xiong, it looks childish and ridiculous.
But after a moment, Yuan Xiong let out a sigh.
Then his eyes widened and he began to read word for word.
"Ouch, dwarf?"
"This magic mirror is quite interesting."
"Fuck, a girl the size of a thumb?"
"This little girl is so pitiful."
"Hahaha, the emperor's new clothes are so ironic!"
It wasn't until the end that Yuan Xiong closed the computer and looked up at Wang Mo with a complicated expression: "Your imagination is really... amazing."
Ten fairy tales, ten imaginations that amazed him.
This is why Yuan Xiong, an adult, has read them all.
There was a pause.
Yuan Xiongcai said: "Forget it, I was originally worried that you had a hothead and fell in love with those international fairy tale writers. But I asked Fu Hong two days ago. She said that you were not impulsive, but deliberate. Move. I just came here out of curiosity today to see what ability you have to compete with so many top fairy tale writers. Now it seems that my worries are completely unnecessary. But now I have some doubts about your true intention of provoking this PK. ”
He knew Wang Mo very well.
There are only more than 20 fairy tale writers, but they can't make Wang Mo take such a big step.
So Yuan Xiong said firmly: "I think if you come up with these fairy tales, let alone better than Joshua and Lucas. The whole fairy tale circle will be turned upside down by you. Are you planning to take advantage of this opportunity?" , let Xilou enter the international market?"
"Brother Xiong, you understand me!"
Wang Mo snapped his fingers and smiled.
Yuan Xiong snorted: "I've been sleeping with you for so long, and I still don't understand you. But... are you sure?"
Wang Mo smiled and said: "Absolutely."
When he spoke, his eyes were full of calmness.
All is ready except for the opportunity.
Now.
Just wait for the international response.
Or……
In fact, there is no need to wait.
Because the current international network no longer has the peace it once had.
Like a flat thunder.
Exploded! (End of chapter)
