Chapter 1003 -930: Ranking of Scenic Spots
“Pfft!”
“These tourist spots are way too real, aren’t they? As soon as they saw they had a part in ‘Heaven-Reliant Dragon Slayer,’ they couldn’t wait to send an invite!”
“Honestly, that old rascal is just too awesome!”
“Who else but Chu Kuang could write a martial arts novel that influences the tourism of Blue Star’s major scenic spots to such an extent?”
“I bet these tourist spots wish they could worship Chu Kuang like a god!”
“Even Kunlun Mountains have shown up, even though in the novel it’s just mentioned that the Kunlun Sect is one of the Six Great Sects…”
“Just a casual mention and they’re over the moon. If anyone could actually get Chu Kuang, the publicity would be off the charts. If they pamper him and he’s happy enough to give them another shoutout in his novel, the effects are almost predictable, just like how Mount Hua struck gold before!”
“People are still flocking to Mount Hua!”
“This time, after the release of the novel, it seems like Mount Emei and Mount Wudang are the most popular spots, the former because of Guo Xiang and the latter because of Zhang Sanfeng along with the protagonist Zhang Cuishan.”
Netizens guessed right.
These tourist spots were all on the same wavelength!
However, netizens didn’t know that at this very moment, these tourist spots were secretly competing with one another!
…
Shaolin Temple.
There were grievances.
“We were the first to suggest inviting Chu Kuang, and now the other scenic spots are shamelessly copying us!”
“Exactly!”
“Did those minor sects not see that ‘Heaven-Reliant Dragon Slayer’ starts with our Shaolin Temple’s scene?”
“Not just them, other places with Shaolin Temples have also been itching to move. After all, Qin Continent isn’t the only place with a Shaolin Temple.”
“Nonsense!”
“We’re the authentic one. Since Chu Kuang is from Qin Continent, the Shaolin Temple he writes about must be the one here on Qin Continent.”
…
Mount Hua.
The staff was excited.
“Why didn’t we think of inviting Chu Kuang earlier? He wrote about the Duel Atop Mount Hua in ‘The Legend of the Condor Heroes.’ If we could get him here, our visitor numbers could surely rise even more!”
“But it seems like Chu Kuang never makes public appearances.”
“That doesn’t matter, we have to show that we’re willing!”
“Our oversight was huge this time. I suspect that because we didn’t publicly express our gratitude before, Chu Kuang was displeased, hence there wasn’t much about the Mount Hua Sect in his new book.”
“We let Wudang and Emei walk away with our advantage!”
“Send an invitation and tickets to Silver Blue Books immediately, and ask them to forward it to Chu Kuang, ah no, to Master Chu Kuang!”
…
Mount Emei.
Ecstatic beyond measure.
“Hahahaha, it’s finally Mount Emei’s turn. I was so jealous of Mount Hua’s booming tourism!”
“I’m head over heels for Guo Xiang!”
“I propose that in this year’s Mount Emei tourism brochure, we talk about the relationship between our Emei and the heroine Guo Xiang!”
“I agree!”
“How about we organize an event at our spot, selecting a female star to play the role of Guo Xiang and be our spokesperson, of course, making sure we pay enough for the rights!”
…
Mount Wudang.
Bustling with excitement.
“Chu Kuang’s new book has the protagonist Zhang Cuishan as a disciple of Mount Wudang, and the founder of the Wudang Sect, Zhang Sanfeng, is even Wudang’s patriarch. This is a huge advantage for our tourism promotion this year!”
“We must get in touch with Chu Kuang!”
“The treatment that Mount Hua got, it’s our turn now!”
“In terms of the novel’s portrayal, we’ve even surpassed Emei and Mount Hua this time, not to mention Shaolin with its abundance of mentions—it’s not even worth discussing!”
…
Elsewhere.
Kongtong Mountains.
“We had too little presence.”
“Just being mentioned by Chu Kuang is good news!”
“You’re right. Other spots weren’t even mentioned at all!”
…
Finally.
Kunlun Mountains.
“It seems our role is about the same as Kongtong.”
“We must curry favor with Chu Kuang. To him, it’s just a matter of crafting some plot, but to us, it means a great deal.”
“If he could just give us a bit more of a role, that would be wonderful!”
…
The prerogative of these scenic spots wasn’t bad.
Almost immediately after they issued invitations to Chu Kuang online, the “Six Great Sects” invitations appeared at Silver Blue Books.
Silver Blue Books was caught between laughter and tears.
“Well, I’ll be.”
“All these scenic areas are getting lively,” someone said.
“Must be the advertising effect. The success of Mount Hua has made it the envy of everyone.”
“Chu Kuang’s novel has too much influence!”
“Right, otherwise, would the Dragon Maiden Incident have had our company surrounded for so long?”
“Send these to Chu Kuang, although he might not be interested, since he never shows his face.”
…
Meanwhile,
Other scenic areas on Blue Star that hadn’t been mentioned were feeling rather sour.
“Why didn’t the Six Great Sects include us?”
“Should we get in touch with Chu Kuang, offer him some advertising fees, and invite him to promote our scenic area?”
“After all, we’re a ten-star scenic area!”
“Our fame far surpasses that of the Kongtong Mountains.”
“Not just Kongtong—our fame surpasses Wudang, Emei, and the likes!”
“Wait a minute.”
“I’ve thought of someone.”
In the office of a certain scenic area, a manager’s eyes suddenly lit up.
…
At the same time, in Shadow Studio.
Lin Yuan and Jin Mu were looking at the table full of invitations from various scenic areas, both at a loss for words.
Suddenly,
Jin Mu spoke up: “Is this like a different form of the Six Great Sects attacking Bright Summit?”
As Lin Yuan’s agent, or rather secretary, Jin Mu had already finished reading “Heaven-Reliant Dragon Slayer” and naturally knew the novel’s most iconic scene:
The Six Great Sects’ siege of the Bright Summit.
The reason Jin Mu mentioned this was because in that story arc, the Six Great Sects are portrayed in a rather unflattering light.
Not to mention,
Zhang Wuji’s parents were driven to death by the Six Great Sects.
Of course,
The Wudang Sect was excluded.
Because the Wudang Sect has always been supportive of the protagonist.
However, the depiction of the other five sects is, indeed, quite disgraceful.
Now that these scenic areas are so eager to please Chu Kuang, who knows what they would think if they found themselves portrayed negatively in the book?
“No big deal,”
Lin Yuan said after thinking for a moment.
Scenic areas are scenic areas, sects are sects.
Besides, in each sect, there are good and bad people, right?
Even Mount Wudang produced someone as hated and annoying as Song QingShu?
“That’s true,”
Jin Mu figured these scenic areas probably wouldn’t take issue with Chu Kuang over the novel’s content.
Just then,
Lin Yuan’s phone rang.
He answered, and before long, he hung up.
Jin Mu curiously asked, “Something up with the company?”
Lin Yuan shook his head: “Some scenic areas contacted Xian Yu, wanting to invite Xian Yu to write some poetry or something for advertisement.”
Updat𝓮d from freewēbnoveℓ.com.
“Ha!”
Jin Mu laughed: “Looks like West Lake’s success story made everyone realize that besides Chu Kuang, Xian Yu is also in high demand. Are you planning to accept?”
“It’s worth a try.”
Lin Yuan was mainly considering the issue of Prestige Value.
If he successfully helped boost a scenic area’s reputation, the return on Prestige Value would be quite generous!
“Which one approached you first?”
“Mount Lu,”
Lin Yuan replied.
Jin Mu was taken aback: “Mount Lu, if I remember correctly, is a nine-star scenic area on Blue Star. They’re said to be hopeful of entering the top tier of ten-stars this year. They must be inviting you as part of their final push. Have you been to Mount Lu?”
“I have.”
Lin Yuan had traveled to many places with his family, including Mount Lu.
“Well, that’s fortunate.”
Jin Mu smiled: “It just so happens that they’re re-evaluating scenic area ratings this year.”
On Blue Star,
Scenic areas were graded on a ten-tier system.
Scenes like Mount Hua and Mount Tai were ten-star scenic areas, whereas Mount Lu was a nine-star scenic area.
The ranking of the scenic areas was mainly determined by relevant departments based on factors such as the scenic environment and visitor flow, among others.
Every five years, there is an evaluation.
And this year just happens to be the fifth year, so there will be a re-evaluation by the end of the year, which is also why the scenic areas are giving extra attention to promotion this year.
