Yu Xinyan: "Did you have a crush on someone before?"

Xu Lin: "Babe, that's a private question."

Yu Xinyan: "Sneaky smile.jpg Blushing.jpg I'm just curious."

Xu Lin: "Let's not talk about it now, I've got something to do."

"Alright then."

Yu Xinyan felt a bit down, "I almost forgot, you still have to drive. Where are you now?"

Xu Lin initially wanted to explain that he was going to a hotel, but he was too lazy to type so much.

So he simply replied, "Almost there."

Xu Lin opened QQ, ready to chat with Ranzhi.

At the same time, Xu Lin took out two rice dumplings, unwrapped the leaves, and started eating them directly. With his current appetite, the two rice dumplings quickly ended up in his stomach.

Xu Lin burped twice and glanced at the energy bar.

[Energy (99/100): Fully charged.]

"One rice dumpling can raise it by 9 points?"

Xu Lin eagerly opened Ranzhi's profile and chatted with them for a while to confirm the format of the lyrics contest.

Xu Lin looked at the contest's prize criteria and was quite shocked, "The first prize is actually 800,000 yuan?"

Ranzhi: "Our website is sincere, right? Grinning.jpg Sunglasses.jpg"

Xu Lin: "I didn't expect there to be a cash prize. I thought it was just a no-prize lyrics contest to pass the time."

Ranzhi: "We wouldn't do that. Mr. Xu's influence is obvious on our website, and we hope to have more collaborations with you in the future."

Xu Lin: "Honestly, I feel like joining in to win that 800,000 yuan! Grinning.jpg"

Ranzhi: "With your writing skills, Mr. Xu, winning 800,000 yuan should be no problem, right? To be honest, if I had the ability, I'd go for it too! Many of my colleagues said they want to try it. Who wouldn't be tempted by that 800,000 yuan? Or even going for the other prizes isn't a bad idea! Haha.jpg"

Xu Lin: "Forget it, I better not get involved. If I take the top prize, I'd feel embarrassed."

In the next month, Xu Lin would be receiving a few million in manuscript fees, so he wasn't eyeing the 800,000. Of course, he could release a set of lyrics later without directly participating in the contest.

Besides, the goal of this contest was to make waves, and compared to that, the prize money was insignificant. Once he made waves, he could mingle in other circles in the future.

Moreover, if he participated and took the prize money, there might be suspicion of foul play, so it wasn't necessary.

Xu Lin: "Are the top ten rewarded based on voting?"

Ranzhi: "Yes, it's based on voting, but to prevent anyone from maliciously rigging votes, our website will be monitoring closely."

Xu Lin: "Okay, sounds good."

After chatting for a bit longer and confirming there were no issues.

Half an hour later, the lyrics contest that Xu Lin collaborated on with the website went live.

The top ten prizes were announced.

First place, 800,000 yuan.

Second place, 500,000 yuan.

Third place, 300,000 yuan.

Then from fourth to tenth place, prizes were 100,000 yuan, 80,000 yuan, 50,000 yuan, 30,000 yuan, 20,000 yuan, 10,000 yuan, and a PS5 + GTA6 Ultimate Edition disc.

People tend to focus on the best things, like the top ten prizes here; for prizes like 30,000 yuan, 20,000 yuan, or even a PS5, people wouldn't even look at them. They'd start considering from 50,000 upwards, not to mention the 800,000.

When the event was released, everyone who saw the pop-up, whether readers or authors, clicked on it immediately.

"Wow, this lyrics contest is so fierce? The first prize is 800,000 yuan?"

"Awesome! Just writing some lyrics can win you 800,000 yuan? And even the third prize is 300,000 yuan, that's insane!"

"You're all so excited, do you even have the skills for this?"

At the same time, Xu Lin also released a single chapter mentioning the lyrics contest.

Additionally, Xu Lin took a photo and included the music score.

You need a score to write lyrics, right?

This contest would last for seven days.

As soon as Xu Lin's single chapter was out, the people waiting for updates clicked in immediately, and they were all stirred up.

"Whoa, here it comes! I'm going for that 800,000!"

"Don't just assume it's easy. Lyrics might look short, but how about your high school essay scores?"

"I scored 138 on my college entrance exam's Chinese section, is that good enough?"

"I'm actually a PhD in Chinese Language and Literature!"

"Enough talk, I'm definitely trying this contest!"

With the event launch, the entire website was in a frenzy, with heated discussions across major book circles and book groups.

With the first prize directly at 800,000 yuan, such a large amount was highly enticing. Everyone was eager to try, from authors to readers. But for now, it's limited to the website, as the event lasts for seven days, waiting to see if it'll ripple further. Whether it can break through remains to be seen.

"I looked at the author's music score, and I'm also working in the music field. This score is really high quality!"

"Here's a professional speaking! The level of this score is high. Everyone has heard the author's performance, and it sounds like a masterpiece, so it's normal for the score to be of high quality!"

"I originally wanted to write lyrics too, but after seeing the score, I feel my skills aren't enough. Writing lyrics would just tarnish the author's composition, and I don't dare to embarrass myself."

"The author is a true talent, amazing at both writing and composing! And theoretically, if the author is this good at writing, they should be able to compose too, right?"

There was a lot of discussion in major book circles and book groups, and the news continued to spread.

The prizes were 800,000 yuan for first place, 500,000 yuan for second, and 300,000 yuan for third.

These sums were incredibly impressive.

Even the 300,000 yuan for third place was enough to buy a nice car in real life.

Anyone with a bit of skill couldn't resist the temptation, but there were also many without the ability to write lyrics. After all, those huge sums were tempting, who wouldn't want them?

People who read novels often feel, to some extent, that they could do it themselves. Xu Lin, before he became successful, used to think this way too. Imagining what the authors wrote as complete nonsense, and he'd think he could type better words by bashing a keyboard on the floor.
