On the Tribe forum.

Netizens were still laughing at the Yan people for going as far as to flatter their former arch-enemy, Chu Kuang, just to get back at the Han people. Suddenly, they saw that David had beaten Bai Jie and, astoundingly, had proposed a Literary Duel to Chu Kuang, accompanied by a blatantly provocative image. They were all taken aback--

"What the--!"

"Challenging Chu Kuang?"

"David is so audacious!"

"The Yan people have been playing this game well, using Chu Kuang as a pawn against David. It looks like David’s been properly stung this time!"

"Can this really happen?"

"Everyone is always saying how cunning the Yan people are, but look at the Han people now. They’re even more so, as evidenced by their impressive ability to cause trouble. With this one move, David has both stepped on the Yan people and offended Chu Kuang. So he wants to kill Chu Kuang too, following Bai Jie’s defeat?"

"..."

Everyone knew that the Yan people were goading the Han people, continually emphasizing how David was inferior to Chu Kuang. It was meant as a joke, but they hadn’t expected the Han people to actually take up the fight with Chu Kuang.

The Han people were truly arrogant!

If it weren’t for this proud nature, the Yan people’s crude tactics wouldn’t have been effective. David, a typical Han man, didn’t hesitate at all. He immediately launched an attack as soon as he felt provoked. Not only did he present a duel invitation, but he also attached a very provocative picture.

However…

When they saw Chu Kuang accepting the duel, replying with the same two English letters that David had used when accepting Bai Jie’s duel invitation, the netizens began to feel adrenaline pumping!

"Haha, Chu Kuang said ok!"

"No one can be more arrogant than Chu Kuang!"

"Worthy of being the big shot who once took on nine challenges at once. It’s clear Chu Kuang is using David’s own tactic against him. He’s treating David with his own medicine!"

"I love Chu Kuang’s personality!"

"The Qin Continent’s Chu Kuang has the demeanor of an emperor!"

"As always, Chu Kuang’s response is so domineering. David has already demonstrated the correct usage of ’OK’ once. this word reversed means ’KO’!"

"..."

The Literary Duel between Bai Jie and David attracted a lot of attention, so much so that it even made the trending list. As a sequel to this duel event, The duel between David and Chu Kuang attracted even more attention!

"Chu Kuang is about to write a fairy tale!"

The people of the Qin continent were most excited because Chu Kuang was from the Qin continent and had once suppressed the Yan continent’s fairy-tale circle on behalf of the Qin continent. So, the Qin people all supported Chu Kuang, and many considered this duel as the fairy tale showdown between the Qin and Han continents. Read exclusive chapters at NovelBin.Côm

In addition, the Yan people were also exhilarated!

They had initially been worried that Chu Kuang would not want to intervene, but unexpectedly, David was very cooperative and was successfully provoked by the Yan people’s goading strategy, directly leading to a duel with Chu Kuang!

"I’m speechless about this move!"

Even some Yan people patted their chests and declared, "If Chu Kuang successfully suppresses David this time, I will never say a bad word about Chu Kuang again. I will become his hardcore fan!"

This was not just empty talk.

The Han people had been too harsh on the Yan continent’s fairy tales, and no one from the Yan continent could deal with David. So even though Chu Kuang wasn’t from the Yan continent, if he defeated David, he would become the savior of the Yan people, and their resentment would be gone forever.

...

Lin Yuan was not preoccupied anymore. He found this situation neither crunchy nor sweet. Rather than continuing to observe, he thought about how to solve this problem. He began to consider what fairy-tale work he should use to duel David.

"Harry Potter?"

Lin Yuan suddenly thought of this work. Although some people say that "Harry Potter" reflects the adult world, when the novel was released on Earth, its genre was indeed classified as a fairy tale.

This classification is very ambiguous.

According to the standards of Blue Star, "Harry Potter" could also be considered a fantasy novel. But defining it as a fairy tale is not a big problem either.

However…

Lin Yuan quickly dismissed the idea of writing "Harry Potter," not because of the controversy over the novel’s classification, but mainly because the length of the book is quite long. Lin Yuan was currently in a hibernation mode and didn’t want to write a long story.

He would write it later.

For now, he needed a shorter fairy tale. Just earlier, he had released the song "Fairy Tale Town" which mentioned many fairy tales, and all were the plots that Lin Yuan had set aside before. Why not take this opportunity to fill in one more plot.

Thinking about it this way.

Lin Yuan began to look for one.

About ten minutes later, Lin Yuan finally chose a suitable work. In the song "Fairy Tale Town," there was a lyric that goes, "I heard Mad Hatter likes Alice..."

Lin Yuan almost sang it out loud. @@novelbin@@

The fairy tale referred to by this lyric was "Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland." The Mad Hatter was an important character in the fairy tale, and Alice was the protagonist.

A little girl.

Lin Yuan felt that this work was ideal for a literary duel with David. David’s fairy tales tended to lean towards Earth’s Western fairy tales, and Alice’s series was also a western fairy tale from Earth. The styles of both sides of the literary duel would not have too much of a difference.

Another key point was:

This novel could make a hit!

On Earth, the Alice series was considered one of the most influential novels of the 19th century. The renowned Chinese author Shen Congwen had published a satirical novel, "Alice’s Journey to China," mimicking the writing technique and style of this book, even disguising it as a sequel to Alice to reflect the darkness of society at that time.

Beyond that.

The famous Western fairy-tales like "The Wizard of Oz" series and "The Chronicles of Narnia" series were partly inspired by "Alice in Wonderland." This novel was translated into more than a hundred languages and its derivative works spanned the areas of art, music, drama, fashion, film, TV series, radio dramas, and games, demonstrating the significant influence of the work!

Well.

Lin Yuan admitted that these were all excuses. He chose "Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland" because the length of the novel was not long, and he could write it out in a short period of time. This was a decision influenced by his lazy nature--

The Alice series has two parts.

The first part was only about seventy or eighty thousand words, which was not quite enough for a novel publication. So, he decided to write out the second part as well. After all, even both parts combined were not more than two hundred thousand words.

Lin Yuan gave himself a thumbs-up.

Even a lazy person must have self-awareness.

He shouldn’t present such a short novel, even if he was in his hibernation mode. There would be no need to worry about this if he published both parts at once. Even for an online writer with high update frequency, writing nearly two hundred thousand words in a month would signify him as a diligent author.

Updating five or six hundred thousand words in a single month?

No question. That person must be cheating somewhere.

At this moment, Lin Yuan had another idea. Beethoven had a piece which seemed to be called "To Alice." Although this "Alice" was not the same character, who "Alice" referred to was pretty vague and there was no way to trace the exact idea--

Could this be an opportunity for cross promotion?
