The next day.

Lin Yuan opened his computer to find that "The Legend of Wukong" was trending!

Only after reading the comment section did he understand why.

Surprisingly, there had been organic promotion.

It seemed that he didn’t need to think of other ways to publicize "The Legend of Wukong".

Looking at the comments again.

Lin Yuan smiled.

One comment read:

"After reading ’The Legend of Wukong’, I look forward to the ’Journey to the West’ TV series even more. Even if they air at the same time, now I am no longer worried about whether to watch ’The Primordial Chaos’ TV series first. As it turns out, I still like Monkey the most."

This was exactly why Lin Yuan wrote "The Legend of Wukong".

He wanted to compete for the audience with "The Primordial Chaos"!

And the existence of "The Legend of Wukong" would surely make Sun Wukong’s popularity rise even more!

After reading "The Legend of Wukong".

Who wouldn’t feel pity for that proud monkey?

But when this "Journey to the West" fanfiction went viral, fans of "The Primordial Chaos" felt a bit sour.

There were countless fanfictions of "The Primordial Chaos" in the "Fanfiction Library".

But none of them had ever reached the popularity of "The Legend of Wukong".

Facing such a behemoth as "The Primordial Chaos", Monkey seemed to be even more invincible and formidable.

This novel also sparked a new wave of interpretation on Journey to the West among its fans —

This time, the discussions were all centered on the assertions made in "The Legend of Wukong".

Some agreed with the novel’s viewpoints:

Others thought the interpretations were too dark;

But regardless of whether they agreed with the interpretations of "Journey to the West" in "The Legend of Wukong", it didn’t prevent everyone from appreciating this novel.

It was simply stunning.

So, Yi An, a little-known author until yesterday, gained some fame today.

This could be seen from the fact that not long after Lin Yuan registered Yi An’s Tribe account, he gained millions of followers.

"Followed, Teacher Yi An truly understands ’Journey to the West’!"

"I especially like Teacher Yi An’s interpretation of ’Journey to the West’!"

"No fanfiction of ’Journey to the West’ will ever surpass ’The Legend of Wukong’ in the future."

"I tried to search, and sure enough there is a Tribe account, I quietly followed the big shot."

"..."

The comments were all from fans who had just started following Yi An.

In terms of scale, Yi An certainly could not compete with Chu Kuang and the Admirable Fish, and even Shadow’s popularity was enough to crush Yi An.

But Lin Yuan was already very satisfied.

The previous three pseudonyms had too many excellent works, and Yi An, with only "The Legend of Wukong", was of course not enough.

There was still a long way to go in the future.

After thinking about it, Lin Yuan followed Chu Kuang, Admirable Fish, and Shadow with Yi An’s account.

After all, he might analyze the works of these three pseudonyms in the future, so he might as well look like a fan.

However, he didn’t follow them back using those three pseudonyms.

Noticing the three people Yi An followed, the comment section had quite a few jokes:

"It turns out that Teacher Yi An is also a fan of the Three Bros!"

"What a pity that Chu Kuang, the old rascal, didn’t follow back."

"I wonder what Chu Kuang, the old rascal, thinks of ’The Legend of Wukong’."

"The old rascal Chu Kuang: Isn’t Yi An thinking too much?"

"The old rascal Chu Kuang: So my ’Journey to the West’ has such a deep intention?"

"Even with ’The Legend of Wukong’ trending, Chu Kuang doesn’t show any intention to follow Yi An back."

"..."

It could be seen from the comments:

Netizens had no clue about the special relationship that might exist between Yi An and the Three Bros.

This made Lin Yuan breathe a sigh of relief.

For now, Yi An had completed his mission.

This pseudonym could rest for now.

Lin Yuan had other things to do next.

Mainly because Tong Shuwen, the director of the music variety show "Our Song", suddenly contacted Lin Yuan:

"Teacher Admirable Fish, did you watch last night’s battle for the top four?"

"Yes, I did."

Lin Yuan answered.

Even though he was no longer participating in "Our Song", Lin Yuan still cared about the follow-up competitions of the show.

Basically, he found the time to watch every episode, including the battle for the top four that Tong Shuwen mentioned.

The competition was broadcast last night, not long after Lin Yuan had uploaded "The Legend of Wukong", so he watched that episode.

The competition determined the top four singers, who were Fei Yang, Shu Yu, Liang Ziyuan, and...

Jiang Kui! @@novelbin@@

Fei Yang and Shu Yu were respectively the Overlord and the Swan in "The Masked Singer".

It was perfectly normal for these two to make it to the final four.

However, the fact that Liang Ziyuan and Jiang Kui made it to the finals surprised many.

Liang Zi Yuan was the Robot in "The Masked Singer" and hadn’t made it to the top four in that competition.

As for Jiang Kui, she was the only singer who wasn’t a King of Singing or Queen of Singing among the final four.

Her reaching the final four this time made more people believe that Jiang Kui had the chance to become a young Queen of Singing!

"As long as you saw it."

Tong Shuwen chuckled, "For the next episode, it’s the semi-finals and finals. The singers choose their own songs for the finals, but for the semi-finals, we gave them the right to choose their own composers, and one of the singers chose you."

"Who?"

"Jiang Kui."

Lin Yuan wasn’t surprised, "So, I just need to write her a semi-final song?"

Tong Shuwen chuckled, "Yes, and also, Fei Yang chose to collaborate with composer Teacher Yin Dong, Shu Yu chose composer Teacher Ye Zhiqiu, Liang Ziyuan chose composer Teacher Wu Long..."

Lin Yuan was surprised, "No one chose Teacher Yang?"

Tong Shuwen sighed, "Shu Yu originally wanted to select Teacher Yang Zhongming, but he did not have time."

No time?

Lin Yuan nodded, "I see."

Tong Shuwen laughed, "So please come to the music hall tomorrow, rehearse with the singer, the program will be officially broadcast on March 1st."

"March 1st?"

A thought struck Lin Yuan.

He was originally planning to release "To Alice" for the charts on March 1st.

But now it seems, why not directly give Jiang Kui a song that she could use for the March charts?

It could also ride the wave of "Our Song"’s finals.

In this case, "To Alice" would not be needed for now.

So, what kind of song should he give to Jiang Kui?

After the call, Lin Yuan fell into thought.

Two minutes later, Lin Yuan’s phone rang again.

Lin Yuan answered.

On the other end was the voice of Jiang Kui, "Teacher Admirable Fish, I would like to choose you as my partner for the next episode..."

"I know."

"You agreed?"

"Yes."

"Thank you, Teacher Admirable Fish!"

There was a hint of excitement in Jiang Kui’s voice.

Lin Yuan used the opportunity to ask, "What kind of song do you want?"

"Huh?"

Jiang Kui seemed to have never considered this question, and timidly said, "Whatever you give, I will sing..."

"You choose."

"I don’t know."

Jiang Kui was a bit at a loss. Who writes songs like this?

Seeing that Lin Yuan was silent, she became a bit nervous and tentatively said:

"Something sweet?"

Lin Yuan paused, then said, "See you tomorrow."

He already knew what to choose.

It would be a sweet song.

Jiang Kui’s voice singing this type of song might just bring out the effect Lin Yuan wanted.

——————————

ps: The hint for this song seems too obvious, hahaha.
