Chapter 53: *The Legend of the Condor Heroes* was exposed by Yang Mi?!

At this moment, the inner voices of the netizens in the live stream were also the true thoughts of the six guests.

Why can a celebrity who retired from the industry be so talented?

Watching Ye Xuan's back as he left, the six guests stared at each other in silence.

Just how many treasures are hidden in Ye Xuan?!

He can write books, raise pigs, and even knows Qinggong (Lightness Skill)?!

Is there anything Ye Xuan can't do?!

All of a sudden, 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-in-Chief Hua's excited gestures through the phone.

"Pig-raising tycoon, no, Mr. Ye, I'm here to report to you the sales figures for *The Old Man and the Sea* and *One Hundred Years of Solitude*..."

As soon as the words fell, Ye Xuan reacted.

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

Ye Xuan subconsciously compared them to the data from his previous 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 in his mind, he heard the sound of someone swallowing hard on the phone.

Immediately after, Editor-in-Chief Hua's solemn voice sounded.

"Mr. Ye, we are very grateful that you entrusted us with the publishing opportunity for these two books.

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

Ye Xuan was slightly stunned upon hearing these numbers.

The two books together actually exceeded 5 million copies?!

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

Ye Xuan suddenly brought out two masterpieces that transcended the era, basically starting a brand new era in literature!

It was like a refreshing, hearty rain suddenly falling in a parched and barren cultural desert!

Which literature enthusiast wouldn't be ecstatic?!

Which writer wouldn't clap and laugh?!

Editor-in-Chief Hua's voice on the other end couldn't hide his shock either. 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 this was just the copyright fee for two books for one month!

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 at this moment, money was just a string of numbers.

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

The familiar voice appeared in his brain once more.

【Congratulations to the host for triggering a new choice. Please select your preferred option from the following.】

【System: Option 1, increase appearances on the *Let's Farm* show, reward: music work *Jiangnan*】

【System: Option 2, decrease appearances on the *Let's Farm* show, reward: Wu Xia work *The Legend of the Condor Heroes*】

With the two choices out, Ye Xuan immediately began to think.

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

He had already appeared on the show a few times, which could be considered as not letting down the old village chief's painstaking efforts.

Next, he might as well just lie flat at home.

Since that was the case, Ye Xuan answered immediately.

"I choose the second option."

As soon as the voice fell, the system's electronic sound rang out in succession.

【Congratulations to the host for choosing the second option, obtaining the Wu Xia work *The Legend of the Condor Heroes*】

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

A look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

*The Legend of the Condor Heroes*, this was the peak of Wu Xia in the hearts of countless people!

Didn't the Wu Xia dreams of so many people originate from this?!

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

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

The six guests had finally managed to herd the required twenty pigs into the transport cages, sent them to the market, and started their pig-selling business.

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

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

"This is a bit boring to watch..."

"Really dragging it out!"

"The days without Ye Xuan are truly lonely as snow!"

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

"The whole segment is not interesting at all, no excitement to speak of. Compared to Ye Xuan's shots earlier, it's really inferior..."

The director had also long noticed this trend of declining live stream data.

Seeing that the number of online viewers had dropped 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!

At this moment, the director felt a rare sense of resentment.

Sighing deeply, he saw his phone screen suddenly light up. He took a casual glance, and the next second, he jumped up.

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

At this moment, the six guests had just returned from selling the pigs and happened to hear the director's wail.

All of a sudden, the expressions of the guests became complex.

Who among the guests present wasn't a top celebrity in the circle, each with a net worth of tens of millions?! ===== CHAPTER 56 =====
