Chapter Ninety-Five's Realization

  "Xiao Jin, I heard you've started your own business recently. That's quite impressive! How is it going?" Qian Yun asked casually as they sat at the dinner table.

  "It's still okay, overall the development prospects are still good." Su Jin said confidently.

  Qian allowed himself a mouthful of food and said, "This is good, having prospects means having hope. In fact, in the current Huaxia, any industry has great potential, the key is whether you can persist. Focus on one field, refine one field. Only then can you achieve results."

  "Yes, Uncle is absolutely right." Su Zhan hurriedly agreed.

  "Well, that's good. Actually, it's already quite an achievement for someone of your age to have accomplished this much. I've read the book you wrote, not bad," said Qian Yun.

  "Ah? Uncle Qian has read my book?" Su Zhen asked in surprise. He really hadn't expected this, as his writing was mainly aimed at young people, namely students and teenagers. It was rare for someone of Uncle Qian's age to have read it.

  "Yes, 'Back to the Ming Dynasty as a Prince'." Qian Yun said with a smile.

  "Ah, so it's 'Hui Ming'." Su Jin understood. If it was indeed "Hui Ming", then there might be some hope, as this book currently has a very high reputation in both the online and real-world cultural circles. It is called a rare classic in the internet world, a standard work of internet history.

  "Well, from this it can be seen that your level of history is quite good, many things are true historical facts." Qian Yun said.

  Su Jin smiled somewhat awkwardly and said, "Hehe, it's still not possible, although I've tried my best to stick to the facts when writing, some things are still lost in translation." This was true, although Su Jin had made as many revisions as possible to the original version of "Return to Ming", he still hadn't completely achieved his goal.

  Qian Yun waved his hand and said seriously, "No, no, you've already done quite well. After all, the first requirement is storytelling. But real history is very cruel, which conflicts with the nature of this show itself. It's not necessary to follow historical data strictly, Jin Yong's works are also based on history as much as possible, but some parts have been adapted."

  "If a book relies entirely on history, it loses its originality. But if it's completely fabricated, it's not interesting for us. The best choice is like what you did, relying on history in general but making slight changes in details. More than 99% of the plot in 'Hui Ming' is true, which is already remarkable."

  "Yes, Uncle Qian is absolutely right." Su Zhen said seriously.

  Listening to Qian Yun's words, Su Jin suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment. After all, he couldn't become a history book, and as a web novel, the first thing to consider was its entertainment value.

  As a seasoned reader, Su Jin deeply understands that YY is the foundation of online literature. No matter what genre the book belongs to, as long as it's an online novel, if it loses this characteristic, it can't be successful. Of course, with the development of the times, readers' tastes are also constantly improving, and in later generations, simple unreasonable YY no longer has much market value. Readers pursue reasonable YY. But whether it's unreasonable YY or reasonable YY, they're all YY.

  If a novel loses its YY, it can no longer be called a novel. But what is YY? For historical novels, the most YY moment is when history changes. This is where readers like to read the most, also known as the climax that authors often talk about.

  Of course, saying so does not mean that Su Zhe's original idea was wrong. In fact, his idea was not wrong at all. The success of "Hui Ming" is a proof. It's just that some corrections were overdone. Later generations' experience has proven that relying on historical networks and history categories is impossible to gain readers' recognition.

  But it's not necessary to rely entirely on history, because history is too rigid. This way, you can't create suspense or climax. It's also hard to get readers' recognition. The best approach is what Qian Yu said: roughly follow the historical facts, but make some minor changes in details.

  "Uncle Qian, thank you! Your words have helped me a great deal!" Su Zhan said with a grateful face.

  "Really? Hehe, no need to be so polite, do we still need to be like this between us?" Qian Yun was somewhat surprised, earlier he just spoke out of feeling and didn't think it would have any effect on Su Yan. But since he couldn't understand, he didn't think much about it and gladly accepted Su Yan's thanks.

  "By the way, Xiao Jin, I heard that you're busy writing a book and rarely go to school now. Is that true?" Qian Yun asked.

  "Uh, this... recently been quite busy, and I've been going to school less often." Su Zhen said somewhat awkwardly.

  "This won't do, Xiao Jin. Don't blame Uncle Qian for saying this, but school is still the best place to go. It can provide you with the best supplement. If you don't have talent, it will give you talent; if you have talent, it will make your talent shine even brighter. Most importantly, studying is a privilege that you can only enjoy at this stage. If you miss it, you'll never find such an opportunity again." Qian Yan said seriously.

  Su Jin smiled wryly, thinking to himself: "Boss, how can I tell you that I'm a time-traveler who knows the future and knows this is the best era? Even if I said it, would you believe me?" Despite his inner complaints, Su Jin still nodded repeatedly, his face full of agreement.

  Seeing Su Jing's good attitude, Qian Yun was suddenly very happy and felt that he had done something that even Su Hangfeng couldn't do. He finally surpassed him, knowing that they were classmates since childhood, going through elementary school, middle school, university, and eventually returning to the ancient city together for work.

  Two people are the best of friends, yet also rivals. It can be said that they compete everywhere, but unfortunately, they always end up being one-upped by Su Yan. Even when it comes to having children, they were surpassed by Su Xingfeng, with others having a son while they had a daughter!

  Unexpectedly, he suppressed himself at this time. Haha, it's really the heaven has eyes. For a moment, Qian Yun felt that his life value had been greatly reflected. Suddenly excited, he wanted to give Su Zhen another ideological education. Unfortunately, Qian Mu obviously didn't plan to give him this opportunity.

  Qian Mu, who had already recognized Su Jin as her future son-in-law, was clearly displaying the characteristic of a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law with increasing satisfaction. With a loud roar, she rushed towards Qian Yun and said, "Old man, why do you have so many words when eating? Just sit there properly. Did little Jin come here to be scolded by you?"

  Qian Yun, who was just about to show off his skills, suddenly seemed to have been doused with a basin of cold water, and he became limp. He smiled awkwardly and said: "I'm not seeing Xiao Jin happy, just casually saying something, why react so fiercely? Eat, eat."

  Su Jin and Qian Ling, who were sitting on one side, exchanged a glance at Qian Yun's expression and couldn't help but secretly laugh.
