Chapter Seventy Graduation

  "Come on, cheers!" In a private room of the Hua Jing Hotel, Lu Li and others stood up together and clinked their glasses. Of course, Lu Li and several girls had drinks in their cups.

  Today is the day of graduation from Ludi University, Jiang You, Meng Qi, Da Xia, and three brothers in the dormitory, plus Lin Guoqing and Bao Hongshu, a total of nine people sat at a full table.

  Today's meal is both a celebration of university graduation and a farewell dinner before everyone parts ways.

  "Lao Si, you are now the undisputed number one in the online literature world. I don't know what your plans are for the future, will you continue to write online novels?" Gao Mu asked Lu Li after finishing his drink.

  It turns out that several people in the audience were friends of Ludi, and they sat together because of him, so naturally Ludi became the center of attention. At this moment, when Gao Mu asked his question, everyone's eyes also turned to Ludi, wanting to know what he would say.

  Takahashi is right, Lü Li can be said to be the first in the web literature world now.

  Ludihuan still remembers that in 2012, with the comments of Liu Bi as a foundation, the number of readers of "The Divine Eagle" has been increasing continuously. As the plot develops, many people have already become deeply engrossed and cannot extricate themselves.

  After these people finished reading the updated chapters, they came back to their senses and enthusiastically recommended "The Return of the Condor Hero" to those who were still watching, thus entering a virtuous circle.

  Lu Li was relieved to see the data of "The Condor Hero" start to pick up and improve. To be honest, although he had persisted in not modifying "The Condor Hero", looking at the dismal data had still made Lu Li feel very depressed. But after having a change of heart, it was different now. Although compared to the popularity of "The Eagle Shooting Heroes", it was still somewhat lacking, Lu Li was already content. After all, this was an online novel, and the plot point where Little Dragon Maiden was killed by Hong Qigong was indeed a poisonous one that couldn't be more toxic. Yet, there were still people willing to come back and continue reading, which was already quite good.

  Liu Xiaowen and other core members of the mainland alliance saw this trend at that time, and immediately set out to rebuild the mainland alliance, which gradually absorbed many members and continued to grow.

  As Lu Li decided to speed up the update, all of his updates maintained an average daily update speed of 10,000 words, and occasionally burst out. After "The Divine Eagle" ended, in about three years, Lu Li updated one after another "The Legend of the Condor Hero" trilogy's last part "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils", "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber", "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer", "The Deer and the Cauldron" and other Jin Yong works that Lu Li liked.

  After these works, Lu Li's book friends found that Lu Li's style suddenly changed, because Lu Li had already started moving Gu Long's works. Compared to Gu Long's works, Lu Li liked Jin Yong's better, so for Gu Long's, Lu Li only chose a few of his own favorite works, such as "The Little Li Flying Dagger", "Xiao Shiyi Lang", "Lu Xiaofeng Chuanqi" and "Juedai Shuangjiao".

  Lu Li is currently updating "Jue Dai Shuang Jiao", which is nearing its completion.

  There is another point to be made, which is that the current web novel wuxia channel can almost be said to be single-handedly supported by Lu Licheng. Because since Lu Licheng's book became a hit and rose to fame, the online literature world welcomed an explosive development, with all sorts of new and strange ideas constantly emerging, and new authors constantly rising to prominence, it was truly an era where heroes emerged in large numbers, and online literature flourished like never before.

  But the immortal fantasy and xianxia that were popular in the previous world have already appeared, and wuxia is starting to decline. If it weren't for Lu Lian propping up the wuxia genre, perhaps many people wouldn't even bother looking at wuxia novels when reading online.

  Under such circumstances, many big-name authors turned to writing fantasy novels or quit the online literature circle altogether, leaving no news, and were missed by many book fans.

  But now, Lu Li's status in the web literature world can no longer be described as a supreme god. As Gao Mu said, it is more suitable to say that he is the undisputed number one person in the web literature world.

  At this moment, Lu Li heard these words and hesitated for a while. After scanning the crowd in the room, he said: "It's certain to continue writing web novels, but I also need to transform. The decline of martial arts is an inevitable trend, so it's necessary to switch to fantasy and supernatural genres." After saying this, Lu Li paused and continued: "Of course, many people present may not know that in the few years I've been writing web novels, I've also made a lot of money and set up my own entertainment company. So in the future, I might venture into the entertainment industry and try my luck in another field."

  Lu Li said this with an inexplicable glow in his eyes, after all, he had been longing to become a superstar for a long time, and most importantly, he originally studied directing.

  Ludley thought back to the past few years in college, constantly learning music knowledge, learning various instruments, vocal training, and performance skills. Although he couldn't say he was proficient yet, he had already mastered most of the basic music knowledge, and his voice had taken shape, which was quite good. As for performance, this was probably something he would have to learn throughout his life.

  During the four years of university, Lu Li was constantly asked by his class teacher Shen Pengjun to focus on music, so he also moved a lot of famous songs from his previous life, completely shutting up Shen Pengjun. And Lu Li transferred the usage rights of these songs to Langdi, and also earned a considerable income.

  But none of these matter, what matters is - four years of tempering, four years of preparation, now it's time to show off one's skills.

  Even someone as calm and collected as Lu Li couldn't help but reveal a look of excitement when saying these words, which was noticed by everyone present.

  "No wonder, it turns out you had already planned ahead. I was wondering why the entertainment company came to buy your film adaptation rights and you refused them all. It turns out you were preparing for yourself." After listening to Lu Li's words, Bao Hongshu was the first to speak up.

  After jointly developing Weibo, Bao Hongshu and Lu Li's relationship has become even closer, so they both know the inside story about what happened on the internet.

  Bao Hongshu was right, in recent years many entertainment companies have come to him wanting to buy the film and television adaptation rights, but Lu Li has refused them all. Isn't writing these things also laying the foundation for his future entry into the entertainment industry? So naturally he can't just hand over the film and television adaptation rights to others.

  Apart from Lu Li, the person who was most excited on the scene was Jiang You. He still remembered the bet he made with Lu Li, and now that he heard what Lu Li had to say, he realized that his good friend had already planned everything out long ago. But could he really achieve a better result than Zhou Shan in the remaining six years or so? Jiang You's heart was filled with uncertainty.

  "You little scamp, you really have everything planned out, don't you? It seems like Weibo is also settled then?" Bao Hongshu said after some thought.

  Lu Li heard the words and smiled slightly, nodding her head. To be honest, Weibo was just something Lu Li suddenly thought of at the writers' conference that year, and it wasn't planned long ago like Bao Hongshu said.

  However, upon hearing Bao Hongshu's words, the others present did not know what was going on, because Lu Li had never told them about Weibo.

  "Huh, what's Weibo talking about again?" Wu Chuan asked, not understanding and being a bit impatient.

  Looking at the old godly Ludi, Bao Hongshu had no choice but to reply: "I'm guessing you still don't know, Weibo was jointly developed by Ludi and me, of course, all the creative ideas were put forward by Ludi, I just provided some funding at that time. And Weibo is also a product under Ludi's entertainment company."

  After hearing Bao Hongshu's words, everyone present was shocked. It turned out that the Weibo used by more than half of the Chinese people in the Great Fire of Huaxia was actually created by Lu Li. Was this a joke?

  Gold will always shine, although Weibo was not used by many people at the beginning of its launch, but after Lu Li and Bao Hongshu, two online literature gods, successively used Weibo, the number of registered users on Weibo kept increasing.

  After people used Weibo, they found that it was a very good real-time interactive tool. Not only could you follow the dynamics of your idols at any time, but also share many information in your daily life with countless netizens at any time and anywhere, which quickly attracted countless young people to play Weibo.

  Under Lin Gengxin's promotion and operation, Weibo has been accepted and used by more and more people. The number of registered users has exceeded half of the population of China. With its increasing influence, many entertainment stars have also opened their personal Weibo accounts, passed VIP certification, and become big V users.

  After a long time, Wu Chuan was the first to react, completely disregarding his image as he spoke to Lu Li: "Boss, take my leg, I beg of you to support me. I can pick up soap, warm the bed sheets, and go from the living room to..."

  But Wu Chuan's words were cut off by Cao Jinping, who had reacted and slapped him: "Save your dignity, you may not be embarrassed but I'm ashamed to say that I know you."

  Everyone burst out laughing after hearing Wu Chuan and Cao Jinping's words.

  Lu Li heard this and was moved in his heart, so he spoke to the crowd: "Since everyone is here today, I'll make my words clear. We are all very good friends. If you're willing to follow me, Lu Li, and develop together, then when I have meat to eat, I absolutely won't let you only drink soup. And in the future, we can still meet often."

  "No choice, brother, I have to follow Lizi." Jiang You was the first to respond to Lu Li's words.

  "Count me in too, as long as you don't mind, Fourth." Takagi followed closely behind.

  "Boss, you've all gone, how can I be left behind?" Wu Chuan said hastily.

  "Lao Si, I estimate that it's impossible for me to go now, but if there's a chance in the future, I'll definitely visit your company." Cao Jinping didn't respond.

  "Old Three?" Cao Jinping finished speaking, and Gao Mu and Wu Chuan looked at him with confusion. The four people in the dormitory had lived together for four years, and their feelings were not ordinary. Now, lacking anyone was not what two of them wanted to see. Lu Li also looked at Cao Jinping, hoping he would give an explanation.

  "I have my own difficulties, don't stare at me, I'll come when I have the chance." Since Cao Jinping said so, the three of them also didn't dare to say anything more.

  "I can only do comics, does your company want it?" Da Xia also said.

  Ludie nodded after hearing it, and Daxia also confirmed to join Biele Entertainment Company. As for Lin Guoqing, he had long been tied to Ludie.

  Meng Qi watched as one by one everyone joined Lu Li's entertainment company, while she herself didn't know how to do anything, and couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
