Sun Quan came downstairs with a cheerful face, then got on his bicycle and left with a smile on his face.
upstairs.
Yuan Shuiqing blushed and took the key to open the door and entered the dormitory.
…
The following days seemed a bit dull to Sun Quan.
But very fulfilling.
He goes to a driving school every morning or afternoon to learn driving, and at other times he codes, cooks, or goes on a date with Yuan Shuiqing. During these busy days, his daily coding volume is inevitably affected.
Sometimes I can write four or five chapters, and sometimes I can only write two or three chapters.
As a result, the number of manuscripts he had on hand gradually decreased.
For this reason, he was a little worried. He was worried that if the manuscripts were all used up, how would he get the first place in the city's monthly vote list next month?
Perhaps, next month will be the last chance for his book to take the first place in the urban monthly ticket list, because he has long noticed that the new work "Evil Spirit" by the great god Gui Wu, just like the life before his rebirth, has been firmly ranked among the new books in the new book period.
Not to mention the first place on the list, the growth of various data also far exceeds the second place on the new book list, and it is completely a hit.
In his memory, the book "Evil Qi" is indeed a hit, and can even be said to be the pinnacle of Gui Wu. After it was put on the shelves, it has been a strong contender for Qidian's monthly ticket rankings, often taking the top spot on Qidian's monthly ticket list.
champion.
Can the book "My Decathlon" compete with "The Evil Spirit"?
Sun Quan didn't feel the slightest bit sure.
He also wanted to have the ambition to compete with "Evil Qi", but... people need to be self-aware. If they are not strong enough, they are not enough. That is a gap that cannot be bridged by ambition.
Even if his update speed is faster than "Evil Qi", it doesn't matter. He knows very well that the quality gap between the two books cannot be equalized by the update speed.
According to his estimation, "Evil" will most likely be released next month, so next month should be his last chance to take the top spot on the city's monthly voting list.
He wanted to seize this opportunity.
If you can sit at the top of the city's monthly vote list for one more month, you can improve the data of "My Decathlon" to another level, especially the average chapter subscription. Every additional improvement is worth money!
Therefore, in order to keep his manuscripts saved and to ensure that he would still have the confidence to compete for the top spot in the city's monthly vote list next month, he began to shorten his rest time.
At the same time, I also gave the instructor of the driving school a cigarette to help with the instructor's work and reduce the time he spent going to the driving school to learn to drive.
After all, he knew how to drive and had a driver's license and a car before he was reborn.
The coach's work was completed, and Sun Quan finally had a lot of coding time again.
The number of words in the archived manuscript has finally stopped decreasing and is still increasing little by little.
Occasionally, he can find time to think about the character setting and outline of "The Ring of the Immortal Dragon".
December passed so uneventfully, and the time came to January 2007.
January 1, New Year’s Day.
In the morning, Sun Quan checked the amount of his manuscript fee last month on the author's backend - 38,864.5 yuan.
Including his store's net profit of nearly 10,000 yuan last month, excluding the tax on manuscript fees, and the publisher's 13,500 manuscript fees for three episodes, his income in December was 55,000.
appearance.
Fifty-five thousand...
In this era, in some towns and villages, you can buy a commercial house of 100 square meters.
Sun Quan felt a little more confident. He was a powerless little guy. If he wanted to be strong, he only needed money!
With the stimulation of the royalties, he is even more determined to win the first place in the city's monthly ticket sales list in January. Taking advantage of Gui Wu's "Evil Qi" not yet being released on the shelves, he will win the first place in the city's monthly ticket sales list for another month.
If "Evil Qi" doesn't come out, who can compete with it?
In January's urban monthly ticket sales list, "My Decathlon" also had a pretty good start. Starting from January 1st, this book has been humbly at the top of the city's monthly ticket list, standing out from the crowd.
Is it because there are more readers paying for subscriptions, so there are more people voting monthly?
Or is it because other books on the list have lost their will to compete for supremacy after being beaten by "My Decathlon" for two consecutive months?
Or...a combination of the above two reasons?
For Sun Quan, it doesn't matter what the reason is. What's important is that he must maintain this advantage and must secure the first place in the city's monthly vote list this month.
He has the mentality of drawing his sword and looking around for rebels.
Anyone who dares to jump out and challenge him will be stabbed with a sword.
Result, no!
Lao Goose's "My Celebrity Girlfriend" helped him suppress other works on the list, but Lao Goose seems to have no intention of challenging him at the moment.
Under this situation, Sun Quan went to the driving school to take the subject two test and passed the test smoothly.
…
In the middle of the month, he successfully obtained his driver's license.
That night, Sun Quan made an appointment with Yuan Shuiqing to have hot pot.
It's getting colder and colder recently, so it's more comfortable to eat hot pot at night.
The two of them ordered a red soup pot, a lot of meat and vegetables, and a bottle of white wine. When he was pouring wine for Yuan Shuiqing, Sun Quan said with a smile: "I have got my driver's license. You can accompany me this weekend."
Go choose a car! With a car, it will be more convenient for us to go on dates in the future! We can also go out for a ride in the evening and go home for the New Year, and we don’t have to squeeze into the train with big bags!"
Yuan Shuiqing sighed softly while putting vegetables into the soup pot: "You! How long have you just graduated and you are always thinking about buying a car... How much money have you earned? Are you burning up?"
Sun Quan laughed, "It's inconvenient not to have a car! Now we both have a place to live, so there's no rush to buy a house. But without a car, it's too troublesome to go home during the holidays. I won't buy a good one, so I'll just buy one."
The one with a price of 70,000 to 80,000 yuan will be opened first, why? Don’t you want to?"
Yuan Shuiqing was a little helpless. She looked up at him and pursed her lips, "Do you have enough money? Do you want me to get you some?"
"Can you get me some?"
Sun Quan was stunned for a moment, then smiled, leaned back on the chair with a smile, and was about to say something when the cell phone in his trouser pocket rang.
"Wait a minute! I'll answer the phone first!"
He reached for his cell phone.
Yuan Shuiqing nodded, "Well, you can take it!"
Taking out his cell phone, Sun Quan looked surprised when he saw the caller ID. It was his cousin-in-law calling him.
He had exchanged mobile phone numbers with this cousin a long time ago, but since the exchange of numbers, the cousin has never called him or sent a message.
This was the first time she called him.
What does she want from me?
Sun Quan was puzzled, frowned slightly, and answered the phone.
"Hello? Sister-in-law!"
"Ah Quan! Did you know that there was a fire in your house? Your house was completely burned down. Your mother was so anxious that she wanted to die. We finally stopped her just now. I advise you to come back quickly! Your father now says
Without saying a word, she just sat there blankly. Your mother didn't know when she couldn't think about it anymore. You'd better buy a ticket and come back to persuade them!"
When the call was connected, Sun Quan had just said hello when he heard his loud-voiced cousin telling him the sad news.
At that time, Sun Quan was confused.
Because before he was reborn, his house had never been in a fire, and his house had never been burned down.
