January's urban monthly voting list should be regarded as the easiest time for Sun Quan to compete for the list since his new book was put on the shelves. To be precise - he didn't compete at all in January, but from the beginning to the end of the month, his "My Ten"
"Xiangquanmeng" has always been at the top of the city's monthly voting charts.
Like a big devil, no one dares to challenge other works on the list, not even try it.
The reason?
The main reason may be that other authors on the list already know that the author of this book is a tentacle monster, and it is very scary to update it.
This kind of deterrence is possessed by almost every tentacle monster author, making it impossible for many competitors to even think about competing.
Just like that, at the end of January, the champion of the urban monthly voting list still belongs to "My Decathlon".
What surprised Sun Quan was that on the last day of this month, a leader was finally born on the list of fans of his book.
——The handsome Wen Hao.
An online name that he was very familiar with was the second book fan who joined his book fan group "Huaguoshan".
Not easy!
Finally, we have a leader and finally achieve zero breakthrough.
In joy, Sun Quan logged on to QQ, ready to say thank you to the handsome Wen Hao. He is a polite child.
As a result, as soon as he logged in to QQ, he found that the handsome Wen Hao had already sent him a private message.
So handsome Wen Hao: "Old Sun! Why did you write (omitted 500 words here) when the hero and heroine went to bed in the last chapter? Who are you looking down on? I have subscribed to all the chapters, and there are still 500 words left.
Money? I just gave you a reward from the alliance leader, and I’m warning you! If there is a similar plot in the future, don’t omit it! Not only am I not short of that little money, but my brothers are not short of that little money either! Remember?”
"???"
Sun Quan looked confused.
Is it because of this that the leader rewarded me?
He is depressed.
I thought I was really reading my book, and I was so impressed that I couldn’t express my excitement without this reward!
I worked on it for a long time, just wanting to read the five hundred omitted words.
The style is too low! The three views are not correct!
My old man: "I'm sorry! I'm a conscientious writer, and I can't describe anything from the neck down!"
Sun Quan replied to the handsome Wen Hao with an arrogant look on his face. He wanted to tell him very straightforwardly - he, Sun Quan, was not that kind of person at all.
The real reason is of course that he didn't dare.
He knows in his heart that it is absolutely OK to write about content below the neck. In the current Internet environment, no one will have trouble with him. Even occasionally writing a little plot in that area can also increase the subscription and sales of this book.
Number of people and amount of reward.
However, the shadow 404 left on him before his rebirth was too deep.
Before 2019, the Internet literary circle had experienced several 404 waves.
2015? Or which year?
Sun Quan remembers that the 404 wave was very fierce. The starting point was more than 1.1 million books, and the number dropped by 1 million.
Before his rebirth, the 404 wave in 2019 was even more destructive. The supernatural channels were almost wiped out. The urban supernatural channels were collectively closed for a week. A large number of books in other channels were cut to pieces.
He, Sun Quan, had originally written 12 books in his more than ten years at Qidian. However, after several 404 waves, he only had 3 solitary books left to his name.
His efforts of more than ten years seemed to be just a dream. There was everything in the dream, but when he woke up, it was just those three books.
It is true that all conditioned phenomena are like bubbles in a dream, like dew or lightning, and should be viewed as such.
Now, he has the opportunity to go back to 2006 and continue to code. Does he still dare to try the law?
Every book I write is the accumulation of my own hard work. If I can avoid it, I will deliberately write content from the neck down for the sake of immediate profit.
He also hopes that after he dies, the works he has written will always exist, proving that he, Sun Quan, has been in this world.
The handsome Wen Hao sent him a message back.
——"I'm kidding you. To be honest, I like your book very much. It's very creative! However, you don't describe it below the neck. Isn't it too exaggerated?"
Sun Quan said "ha" and replied: "Thank you!"
As for the reason, he didn't explain it.
…
The calendar turned over and the time came to February 1st.
The day when Qidian Author Backstage announces the amount of last month’s royalties.
The poor man Sun Quan was naturally thinking about this matter. He worked hard for a month on coding and updated 10,000 words every day. What was it for? Is it just for a dream?
Can dreams fill your stomach?
At around 9:40 in the morning, after refreshing the author's backend again, he found out the amount of his royalties for January as expected.
——44178.5 yuan
If you break 40,000, you can probably get more than 39,000 after tax.
This number is more than last month, but the number of words in his January update is tens of thousands less than that in December, but the number of manuscript fees has increased by several thousand.
The reason was similar to that of Ming Jing. It must be because the number of subscribers to his book had increased.
With this amount of royalties for January, Sun Quan has no reason to be unhappy.
But when he opened the city monthly ticket list, he sighed again.
Today is February 1st. The book "Evil" that he has been paying attention to for a long time has finally been put on the shelves. It was put on the shelves at 0:00 this morning, but at this time, it has already entered the top ten of the urban monthly ticket list and is currently ranked fifth.
Gui Wu's strength was indeed as strong as he remembered.
And this book "Evil Qi" is the pinnacle of Guiwu's work. In Sun Quan's memory, it was a classic that won the first place in Qidian's monthly voting list several times.
As early as when he learned that the book "Evil Qi" was released, Sun Quan had thought pessimistically that after "Evil Qi" was released, Sun Quan would no longer be the champion of the urban monthly ticket charts.
Now it seems that "Evil" is on the shelves, and it is indeed coming with a lot of momentum.
He clicked on the new book monthly ticket sales list on the homepage of Qidian. As he expected, "Evil" was far ahead, occupying the first place on the new book monthly ticket list.
The number of votes is more than three times that of the second place, and there are currently more than 500 votes.
By the way, since Qidian launched the tipping function last month, allowing readers to exchange tips for monthly passes, the upper limit of monthly passes on the monthly pass list has significantly increased.
To put it simply...it might have been possible to secure the top spot on the new book monthly ticket sales list with 1,000 votes, but now on the last day of the month, it might take 2,000 votes to secure the top spot.
However, Gui Wu's book "Evil" performed much better than the new books that have been released in recent months. It received more than 500 votes on the morning of its release.
Reason told Sun Quan that although he is currently the champion of the city's monthly vote list, he probably won't be able to hold this position for a few more days. Maybe tonight or tomorrow he will be overthrown by Gui Wu's "Evil".
If he started asking for monthly tickets from now on, he might be able to sit for a few more days, but he probably wouldn't be able to last a few more days.
But, just give up and admit defeat?
He found that deep down in his heart, he felt a little unwilling.
"Evil" has just been released! So what if it's Ghost Dance? Am I going to be scared to death by him as soon as the battle starts?
If I lose the first place in a day or two, will my face still be bright?
What would the authors and readers of Qidian think of me? Is it far worse than Ghost Dance?
Once this impression is left to the outside world, will it be possible for me to reach the heights of Ghost Dance in the future?
no!
Anyway, hold on for a few more days!
After all, my current average subscription is about eight thousand. At least now, my readers should be no less than Gui Wu!
Sun Quan's fighting spirit aroused in his heart, and without hesitation, he sent out today's guaranteed update of 12,000 words in one go. As for the afternoon and evening? All the chapters that will be released at that time will be added.
