Chapter 28: *The Legend of the Condor Heroes* exposed by Yang Mi?!

The thoughts of the netizens in the live stream were also the true thoughts of the six guests.

Why are you, a retired celebrity, so showy?

Watching Ye Xuan’s back as he left, the six guests stared at each other, falling into silence.

How many treasures is Ye Xuan hiding?!

He can write books, raise pigs, and use light-body techniques?!

Is there anything Ye Xuan can't do?!

For a moment, everyone’s curiosity about Ye Xuan reached its peak.

On the other side, Ye Xuan, who had left first, suddenly received a call.

"Hello, Editor-in-Chief Hua?!"

The call was from the editor-in-chief of the Machinery Industry Press.

Even without seeing him, Ye Xuan could almost see Editor Hua dancing with excitement.

"Pig-raising master, no, Mr. Ye, I’m here to report the sales of *The Old Man and the Sea* and *One Hundred Years of Solitude*..."

As soon as he finished, Ye Xuan realized what was happening.

Ever since he handed the publishing rights to the Machinery Industry Press, the first month’s sales figures must have come out.

Ye Xuan subconsciously compared them to the data from his past life.

In his memory, the annual sales of *One Hundred Years of Solitude* and *The Old Man and the Sea* in China were nearly ten million copies.

Conservatively estimating, the two books together could probably sell two million copies in a month.

Just as Ye Xuan was guessing, he heard a distinct gulping sound on the phone.

Then, Editor Hua’s solemn voice rang out.

"Mr. Ye, we are very grateful that you gave us the opportunity to publish these two books.

*One Hundred Years of Solitude* sold 2.6 million copies this month, and *The Old Man and the Sea* sold 3.1 million copies..."

Ye Xuan was slightly stunned by the numbers.

Together, the two books exceeded 5 million copies?!

You have to know, the entertainment and culture of this era were far behind his past life.

Ye Xuan suddenly brought out two masterpieces that transcended the era, essentially starting a brand-new literary age!

It was like a refreshing rain falling in a dry, barren cultural desert!

Which literature lover wouldn't be ecstatic?!

Which writer wouldn't clap and laugh?!

Editor Hua’s voice on the other end was equally shocked. After thanking Ye Xuan profusely for a long time and mentioning that the royalties would arrive shortly, he ended the call.

Soon, a text message about the royalties arrived on Ye Xuan’s phone.

"Your account ending in 2334 received 22,103,806.00 on July 8th at 14:32..."

Twenty-two million!

And that was just the copyright fee for one month for two books!

Even if the subsequent popularity wasn't as high as the beginning, over the years, it would definitely be a huge sum!

If an ordinary person saw this number, they would probably be overjoyed.

But Ye Xuan, after looking at his phone, calmly put it away.

After all, to him, money was just a string of numbers.

Just then, the God-Level Choice System was triggered again.

The familiar voice appeared in his mind once more.

[Congratulations to the host for triggering a new choice. Please select the option you prefer from the following.]

[System: Option 1, increase appearances on the *Let's Farm* program, reward: music work *Jiangnan*.]

[System: Option 2, decrease appearances on the *Let's Farm* program, reward: martial arts work *The Legend of the Condor Heroes*.]

Once the two choices appeared, Ye Xuan thought about it.

After all, he had already retired and didn't want to have too much involvement with the entertainment industry.

He had already shown his face a few times on the show, which was enough to fulfill the old village chief’s earnest wishes.

He might as well just lie flat at home.

With that, Ye Xuan answered immediately.

"I choose the second option."

As soon as his voice fell, the system’s electronic tone rang out.

[Congratulations to the host for choosing the second option. Obtained martial arts work *The Legend of the Condor Heroes*.]

As the mechanical voice faded, the finished book of *The Legend of the Condor Heroes* appeared in Ye Xuan’s mind.

His eyes lit up with surprise.

*The Legend of the Condor Heroes*, this was the peak of martial arts in countless people’s hearts!

How many people’s martial arts dreams originated from this?!

Excited, Ye Xuan couldn't wait to open his computer and start typing.

On the other side, the program was still in full swing.

The six guests finally managed to herd the twenty pigs onto the transport truck and sent them to the market, starting their pig-selling business.

However, compared to the shock Ye Xuan had brought earlier, their daily routine seemed truly unremarkable.

Even the netizens in the live stream started calling for Ye Xuan.

"This is a bit boring..."

"So slow!"

"The days without Ye Xuan are truly lonely!"

"Can the production team film more of Ye Xuan..."

"The whole segment is meaningless, not exciting at all. Compared to Ye Xuan’s footage earlier, it’s much inferior..."

The director had long noticed the downward trend in live stream data.

Seeing the number of online viewers drop from the peak of 300,000 to 100,000, the director felt bitter.

He also wanted to film more of Ye Xuan.

He had just told everyone to film more of Ye Xuan, but then Ye Xuan stopped appearing!

The director felt a rare sense of resentment.

He sighed deeply, and as his phone screen lit up, he took a casual glance, and the next second he jumped up.

"What?! Participating in the show is too much trouble, and Ye Xuan is too lazy to show up?!"

The six guests had just returned from selling the pigs and happened to hear the director’s wail.

For a moment, the expressions of the guests became complex.

Who among the guests wasn't a top-tier celebrity with a net worth of millions?! ===== CHAPTER 56 =====

Yet who wasn't politely doing whatever the production team asked?!

How could they be like Ye Xuan, showing up when he wanted and lying flat when he wanted?!

Thinking of this, they actually started to envy Ye Xuan’s carefree lifestyle!

Now that the pig-selling task was complete, the production team needed someone to report the situation to Ye Xuan.

Yang Mi still remembered Ye Xuan’s previous rejection of her, and since she was most interested in him, she immediately volunteered.

The camera team followed Yang Mi closely.

"Next, let’s go see what Ye Xuan is doing..."

As soon as this was said, a huge wave of traffic flooded into the live stream following Yang Mi.

"Oh, I’ve been waiting for Ye Xuan to appear!"

"Finally get to see Ye Xuan..."

"I wonder what little Xuan is doing..."

"I miss this tough guy so much!"

......7 groups

By now, Yang Mi had arrived at Ye Xuan’s office.

The door wasn't locked, just ajar, so Yang Mi habitually knocked first.

"Is anyone there?!"

A villager saw Yang Mi looking for Ye Xuan and greeted her in a simple, rustic accent: "Sit for a while, the factory manager will be here soon."

Nodding to thank the villager, Yang Mi looked around the office.

Unknowingly, her gaze was drawn to the glowing computer screen in the office.

Walking to the computer, Yang Mi subconsciously read the words on the screen.

"*The Legend of the Condor Heroes*?"

As soon as the five words were out, Yang Mi was stunned.

That sounds like a book title?!

This scene was fully recorded by the cameraman behind her.

At this moment, not only Yang Mi realized it, but the audience in the live stream also realized it!

This... could this be Ye Xuan’s new book?! ===== CHAPTER 57 =====
