Chapter 145 Keep Mystery

The gold medal of the "Demon City Popular Novel Award" has a prize of 500 silver dollars, while the prize of the "Zhang Yuanji Newcomer Writer Award" has a prize of 300 silver dollars.

Therefore, the income from these two awards alone brought to Wang Defu was 800 silver dollars, and their purchasing power was almost equivalent to the 80,000 yuan he used to in that world.

However, if you want to buy a car of this era of 800 silver dollars, it is obviously a little short of it. At most, you can only buy a second-hand car. To buy a slightly higher-end car, you will need at least 2,000 silver dollars.

After all, in this era, cars are undoubtedly a well-deserved luxury goods and are the most cutting-edge vehicles of technology. Even in a big city like Suzhou, there are not many cars, let alone supporting gas stations, etc. Only in a world-class metropolis like the Magic City and the Imperial City, cars are not so rare. Those who can drive taxi companies are well-known companies in the entire empire.

Therefore, when it comes to cars, we cannot look at it from the perspective of later generations. Perhaps only Wang Defu, a future person, wants to buy a car and drive it. Even if the car can only be driven in the Magic City, it cannot drive it for a long distance at all.

Whether it is the bonus of these two novel awards or the royalties of the novel "Dragon Head", it is obviously impossible to give Wang Defu immediately, and this is all about the process.

Commercial Press's attitude towards Wang Defu is definitely considered friendly, because logically speaking, these two highly valued awards need to be received by Wang Defu himself, otherwise it will be regarded as giving up the award.

However, Wang Defu did not want to expose the true identity of "Mo Cun" so soon. He felt that it would be interesting to use this pseudonym to make a mystery. Moreover, using this pseudonym, he could create works that cater to readers without any psychological burden. Even if some literary critics scolded "Mo Cun" for being vulgar, he would not take it to heart.

"Mo Cun" is vulgar, what does it have to do with him, Wang Defu?

Wang Defu himself can only create novels, essays, and essays at the level of classic works. It is difficult to pick his thorns in terms of literary and ideological nature.

And because of the major he studied, his works are often philosophical, which always makes his works naturally have a high-end and generally lack-level critics dare not comment on Wang Defu's works randomly, for fear of being laughed at.

Wang Defu directly asked his senior editor of Novel Monthly to receive the certificates and commemorative medals of these two awards, which seemed to have caused a small stir in public opinion.

Just on the day they received the award, whether it was Xu Tianxiao, the author of "Love and Demon City", or Chang Heege, the author of "The Beauty of the Country", they all came to receive the award in person. Perhaps they were still very unwilling to accept that their work won the silver award, but they were really curious about who the creator of "Dragon Head" was.

After Xu Tianxiao knew that his work was not as good as "Dragon Head", he accepted his fate. However, he still conspired to think that "Dragon Head" has made sales, and the other party has such a big background, so he must be very rich. He spent money to buy his work directly, creating the market that it is very popular. It doesn't seem to be a loss-making deal...

It was not until Xu Tianxiao went to read "Dragon Head" in person without believing in evil that he was completely convinced. He just felt that his luck was too bad. Why did the "Demon City Popular Novel Award" happen to have a work like "Dragon Head" that crushed him in all aspects in terms of creative level?

Xu Tianxiao felt that he was really unfair to lose. He only blamed himself for losing his mind and did not read "Dragon Head" himself, so he went to the media to make a joke.

It may be only the creators who can understand the gap between him and the "new writer" Mo Cun. He found that he originally thought that "Love in the Demon City" can be used in all aspects. Compared with "Dragon Head", no matter the writing style, idea, and novelty of the subject matter, it is too far behind. Moreover, his works are very watery. There is no way, and it is impossible to guarantee that it is full of practical information forever. However, "Dragon Head" is really full of practical information. All the writings and inks are basically telling a wonderful story, and there will never be any unnecessary description or discussion.

Even Xu Tianxiao thought that he would definitely not lose money when he bought such a good book. He even regretted that he had not bought the hardcover version.

Therefore, Xu Tianxiao, who was completely impressed by the creative strength of "Mo Cun", wanted to meet this "new writer" who suddenly appeared. Why put quotes on the four words of the new writer? Of course, he felt that the other party might just be a newcomer who wrote popular novels for the first time, and may have a great reputation in other literary creation fields.

This is not Xu Tianxiao's random guess, but a fact that has been recognized by the popular novel circle. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain that the "Zhang Yuanji New Writer Award" was also awarded to Mo Cun, not to mention that after "The Dragon Head" was best-selling, many media with great influence praised the work "The Dragon Head".

Xu Tianxiao wanted to take this opportunity to receive the award and apologize to the boss "Mo Cun". If possible, he would also want to ask the other party for advice humbly.

Xu Tianxiao is quite modest when facing someone stronger than him. This may be the reason why his second work has made such great progress.

The song of "Chang Hate" is not as good as Xu Tianxiao's inner drama, but it is natural for her to be curious about "Mo Cun". There is no way. The recent turmoil in the popular novel world of "Dragon Head" in the Mo Cun is really unexpected.

Fortunately, Chang Hege has always been low-key, otherwise if she could not help but make some remarks against "Dragon Head" in the media, she would probably be as embarrassed as Xu Tianxiao.

Another talented woman, Liu Xianran, blocked the gun for her and attracted a lot of firepower.

However, Chang Hege was not very interested in Liu Xianran. Her purpose in writing novels was still very pure. She just liked them and had no interest in the feminist system. As a result, Liu Xianran criticized her for not winning the gold medal and was restricted by the fact that she was not awarded a gold medal, which made Chang Hege feel very disgusting.

The person involved did not feel that her rights were limited. After all, the "Dragon Head" was written well, and she was convinced by the other party. Could it be that she should be treated preferentially because she is a female author?

What kind of feminism is this? It is simply belittlement of women. If feminists are all this kind of thing, then the status of women will probably be lower and lower...
