Someone asked Xu Lin when he would start a new book.

Xu Lin never planned to write webnovels again.

Seeing many people asking, Xu Lin picked a comment to reply: "Not sure if I'll write again, I'll think about it later."

Xu Lin has already reached the peak in the webnovel world, so he's not too keen on continuing there.

Staying in the webnovel circle, making money is a breeze for him, but Xu Lin wants to showcase something else, to challenge a new circle, so it's very likely he won't stick around fishing in the webnovel scene, as there's no point anymore.

If he had to say, if he continues writing in the future, Xu Lin might consider reality literature.

For example, something similar to the "3 Body Problem."

No matter how high you aim in webnovels, it can't compare to the pinnacle of physical books.

The various copyrights of physical books, or the variety of awards, are far beyond what webnovels can achieve.

Take the book "3 Body Problem," how famous is it? Financially, the author receives royalties to the point of numbness, award-wise, the author also receives accolades to the point of numbness, and as for reputation? In the science fiction field, Liu is also very renowned; when it comes to sci-fi texts, no one can bypass him.

This is the weight of reality literature, something webnovels can never surpass.

Of course, I'm only talking about the pinnacle of both fields, because when it comes to reality literature, many people are still struggling.

If Xu Lin continues writing books, he might consider reality literature.

But Xu Lin likes imaginative things, that is, sci-fi genres.

In reality literature, you can't exactly throw in a fantasy novel or a xianxia novel, obviously not.

But, sci-fi is different.

Thus, Xu Lin revised his concluding remarks, adding two paragraphs at the end.

The first paragraph was Xu Lin saying that he might consider reality literature creation next year, probably in the science fiction field.

The second paragraph was Xu Lin recommending the works of his four disciples, which means the works of Toutuo and the others.

Actually, there are five disciples, but Moonlit Night hasn't published a book yet.

Once Xu Lin updated his remarks, people immediately responded.

On one hand, they were surprised that Xu Lin was going to explore reality literature, on the other hand, surprised that Xu Lin actually had disciples?

"Is the author going to write sci-fi texts, like the 3 Body Problem?"

"Looking forward to it! I'll definitely support the author when it's published!"

"The author is currently writing urban romance, can he handle sci-fi texts well? Such a big genre leap!"

"I think with the author's writing skills, it should probably be fine."

"Writing skill is one thing, but real-world sci-fi is different from webnovel sci-fi. Real-world sci-fi emphasizes logic and real prowess; in webnovel sci-fi you can ramble, and everyone might accept it, but in real-world sci-fi, countless experts are watching you, any issue and you'd be scolded. Like, I'm an engineering Ph.D., if your sci-fi writing deals with my research area, it has to pass my scrutiny."

"Indeed, real-world sci-fi demands logic, real prowess, and grand imagination. Still, I'm looking forward to it, the author's writing skill surely won't be bad!"

This was about Xu Lin's new book, and also about Xu Lin mentioning his four disciples.

"The author has disciples?"

"Let me take a look!"

Many people immediately went to see Wu Chengfeng and the others' books.

But of course, not everyone did.

Actually, many of Xu Lin's readers only read Xu Lin's book, fundamentally not being webnovel readers.

And among them are some readers or authors, who are active in the webnovel community and track various novels.

When people pulled up the rankings, they found out.

Xu Lin's so-called four disciples occupied the top five of the ranking list.

In the two most important lists, the subscription list and the sales list, Xu Lin ranked first, followed closely by Wu Chengfeng, Toutuo, Asura, and Shifang.

And people who frequently follow the lists would notice, these five books have been this way since Shifang and Asura came up, and before, it was consistently Xu Lin, Wu Chengfeng, and Toutuo in the top three positions.

Readers who don't pay much attention to webnovels naturally don't understand what this means, but those who frequently do, especially authors, are unsettled.

"Holy crap! Xu Ju's four disciples, each have over a hundred thousand average subscriptions!"

"To be exact, one with over two hundred thousand, one nearly two hundred thousand, and two over a hundred thousand!"

"Awesome! Is this the power of the elite among elites?"

"This is terrifying! This is the power of the supreme giant with a million average subscriptions, not only being a deity himself but his disciples are all deities too!"

Authors were overwhelmed.

No damn webnovel training class, no big author mentor or editor could even compare.

What do you call a true elite?

Not only is someone an elite themselves, but their four disciples are also elites!

This matter stirred intense discussions in various author groups.

Xu Lin returned to this side of the chat, just to find the big-shot wellness group was already crazily @ing him.

He went into the group to take a look and saw everyone discussing the matter of his four disciples.

Xu Lin said, "Didn't Chengfeng mention before that I'm his mentor?"

Wu Chengfeng had mentioned this when Xu Lin started his book, saying his mentor opened a book, and even helped draw some traffic for Xu Lin.

But so much time has passed, many people forgot, and back then not many took it seriously.

Wu Chengfeng also chimed in, "Mr. Xu is indeed the mentor of us three, Toutuo and the others. If not for his guidance, we'd still be flopping."
