Chapter 1346 - 1121: Harry Potter, the Door to the Vault

Yes.

Chu Kuang is preparing a big move.

Don't be fooled by the number of novels Chu Kuang has written over the years.

In fact, some of his works don't quite qualify as big moves.

For example, his early works like "Zhu Xian".

While these works were indeed popular with many young readers in Zhong Continent at the time they were published, their influence has significantly diminished over time. Placed on the global stage, they wouldn't stir much of a ripple.

Looking across the world.

Chu Kuang's true representative works at the moment are Journey to the West, the Sherlock Holmes series, the Hercule Poirot series, and the Fairytale Town series, among others.

Even "The Martian Rescue," a science fiction novel that won the Galaxy Award, or several other works that sparked enthusiasm across various continents, are only secondary global representative works in the broader literary landscape.

Now, with the global merger.

The world stage has become incredibly vast.

Chu Kuang must come up with heftier works to truly stand out.

Children's literature happens to be a very promising entry point.

Lin Yuan hasn't forgotten Chu Kuang's fairy tale universe.

Xian Yu's song "Fairytale Town" mentioned multiple fairy tales.

Among them, most of the fairy tales have already been written by Chu Kuang, leaving only two unfinished!

One is "The Little Prince"!

The other is "Harry Potter"!

Fans from Qin, Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, and Wei frequently urge Chu Kuang to complete the puzzle by filling in the last two pieces of "Fairytale Town"!

Given the influence of these two missing pieces in his previous life, Lin Yuan has every reason to believe:

Once these two pieces are completed, Chu Kuang will undoubtedly become Blue Star's true "Fairy Tale King"!

But which one should he write first?

After all, the lengths of these two works are entirely different.

The former is less than 100,000 words and can only be considered a mid-length fairy tale, while the latter is a monumental series totaling nearly three million words.

As for weight?

Both works are at the "big move" level!

Whichever one is chosen won't tarnish Chu Kuang's current world ranking!

...

Returning to his room.

Lin Yuan didn't hesitate for long.

He decided using the simplest method: "Counting soldiers and generals, riding horses into battle. With money drink wine, without money get lost..."

Oh wow.

The result pointed to "Harry Potter," so that settles it—he'll write this novel!

Harry Potter series.

It is divided into seven parts in total.

"Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone"

"Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets"

"Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban"

"Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire"

"Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix"

"Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince"

"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows"

The sequence must be followed; otherwise, the storyline won't connect logically.

The first book is "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone," which totals over 200,000 words—a manageable project for Lin Yuan.

With that thought.

Lin Yuan immediately spent a fortune to commission the System for the work, then opened his computer document and began typing furiously.

Soon.

On the screen appeared the title of the first chapter of the first book in the Harry Potter series:

"The Boy Who Lived"

Then.

The first chapter began:

[Mr. and Mrs. Dursley, of Number Four, Privet Drive, were proud to say that they were perfectly normal, thank you very much. They were the last people you'd expect to be involved in anything strange or mysterious, because they just didn't hold with such nonsense...]

With the cultural integration and fusion of Blue Star's continents.

Lin Yuan didn't need to worry about maintaining Harry Potter's Western background; he only needed to make minor revisions to Earth-specific details.

The reading habits of Blue Starians suggest:

They view any genre, story, or setting with a tolerant and embracing perspective.

...

Indeed, over 200,000 words isn't a massive undertaking.

Lin Yuan completed the first book of the Harry Potter series in less than a week.

"Finally unlocked this treasure trove."

Lin Yuan smiled as he looked at the content of the first book.

The Harry Potter series is a treasure trove!

Why?

Because on Earth.

The Harry Potter series has been translated into over seventy languages and has sold more than five hundred million copies worldwide!

Each book sold better than the last!

The Harry Potter movies, based on the books, became the highest-grossing film series in the world!

The box office for each subsequent movie surpassed the previous one!

By the time the final movie was released, the total box office revenue reached 7.8 billion US dollars!

Converted to Celestial Dynasty currency, that's roughly 50 billion!

It's the most profitable movie series globally!

And let's not even mention the merchandise.

For instance, in certain countries.

There are magical products like Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans (iconic candies frequently mentioned in the HP novels), Quidditch uniforms, and socks made by house-elves.

All of it generates licensing fees!

Leveraging the impact of the work itself and countless merchandise development, author J.K. Rowling became the world's highest-earning author!

Even up until Lin Yuan's time-travel moment.

J.K. Rowling was still one of the richest authors globally.

Make no mistake.

Chu Kuang's various novels are incredibly profitable.

For example, the Sherlock Holmes series has long since made a fortune through its merchandise.

But the Harry Potter series' future earning potential could far surpass all of Chu Kuang's other works!

If this isn't a treasure trove, what is?

Speaking of treasure troves, their full exploitation takes time.

Lin Yuan, of course, couldn't expect to earn such astronomical amounts immediately.

Only when movies and merchandise explode in popularity would the treasure trove be fully mined.

Thinking of this.

Lin Yuan felt a wave of eager anticipation.

He immediately sent the manuscript to Jin Mu's email, instructing him to forward it to Silver Blue Books for preparation for publication.

The issue of rights wasn't a concern.

Chu Kuang is a shareholder of Silver Blue Books; his contract terms are considered top-tier in the industry.

The profits from future series development were guaranteed to flow into Lin Yuan's pockets.

...

Meanwhile.

At work, Lin Xuan screamed with excitement upon receiving the manuscript titled "Harry Potter"!

"It finally arrived!"

Her brother's words from a few days ago were true!

Chu Kuang had indeed written a mid-to-long children's novel!

Specifically, a bona fide long children's novel!

This first installment alone was over 200,000 words!

That night.

On the blog.

Silver Blue Books officially announced:

"The 13th-ranked global top-tier author of Blue Star, Chu Kuang, has just completed a new long children's literature work, the first installment of the Harry Potter series: 'Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone,' which will be released globally on the 20th of this month. Stay tuned!"

The present is unlike the past.

With Zhong Continent now part of Blue Star's global merger, Chu Kuang's novels would no longer be restricted to one continent but sold worldwide!

Especially in Zhong Continent!

This is the only market Chu Kuang hasn't fully dominated globally.

Thus, Silver Blue Books treated this release with unprecedented seriousness.

And the moment Silver Blue Books announced Chu Kuang's new book.

Readers from every continent turned their attention toward it!

This is Chu Kuang's first book release since being ranked 13th on the global chart!
