Seeing this, Sun Quan, the peeping dog, grinned, took out a tissue and wiped the oil on his hands, and decisively typed to join the group chat.
Someone has already promised not to rush him to update tonight, so what else does he have to be afraid of?
By the way, as a writer, sometimes I really want to join the group chat in a book fan group, but the problem is that I often don’t dare to bubble up in the group.
Because as soon as something bubbles up, he will immediately say to him: "What are you talking about? Go back and code!"
A closer look revealed that the person scolding him was probably an old book fan with whom he had a good relationship, so he was instantly discouraged and could only say "Go right now!" and then get out in despair.
Sometimes I am chatting well with everyone in the group, and suddenly someone urges me to update.
Fortunately, that night, the friends in the group were very friendly, no one told him to go back to code, and no one urged him to update.
Speaking of which, the size of his book fan group is now very large, from a small group of 200 people at the beginning, to a super large group of 500 people, 1,000 people, and now 2,000 people.
At present, this super large group with a maximum limit of 2,000 people is almost full of members.
And Sun Quan no longer plans to upgrade this group. There are really too many people in this group. When it is busy, the speech records in the group are like flooding the screen. A sentence is posted to the group, but many people have not read it yet.
Qing was suppressed without a trace.
For this reason, some people in the group have long complained. Of course, there are also people who like this kind of group chat atmosphere, because there are enough members in the group, and often a small topic can quickly turn into a lively chat scene.
But then again, if it were not 2007, many people would not be able to access the Internet conveniently. If we had to wait a few years and wait for the era when everyone has a smartphone, there would be authors like Sun Quan who have popular works with more than 9,000 subscriptions.
, it is impossible for his fan base to be less than 2,000 people.
That night, Sun Quan spent nearly two hours in the group chat before ending the group chat, went to wash up, and then rest.
…
Because he didn't go to bed until nearly 3 o'clock in the morning, he got up very late the next day. It was almost 10 o'clock in the morning when he stretched out and opened his eyes refreshed.
After opening your eyes, the first thing you do is to take off the cotton in your ears.
There is no way. Recently, after the business of the store was handed over to Kuang Longfei, the time Sun Quan went to bed at night was not certain. Sometimes after 12 o'clock, he was in a good state of mind and did not feel sleepy at all, so he would just continue to code.
Chapter manuscript, if you do it like this, you will naturally not be able to get up the next morning.
But there were always various noisy sounds from downstairs reaching upstairs, reaching his ears, and waking him up.
Once woken up, it is difficult to fall asleep again.
But if he doesn't continue to sleep, his mental state will be poor throughout the next day, and his coding efficiency will not be satisfactory. After being woken up by the sounds downstairs several times, Sun Quan can only find a way to solve this problem.
Finally, he came up with the idea of putting a small ball of cotton in each ear before going to bed.
Not to mention, the effect is pretty good.
Just like today, if it weren't for these two small balls of cotton, how could he have slept peacefully until now?
Get up, get dressed, go downstairs to wash up, have breakfast...
The next step is to go upstairs, go to the small room, turn on the computer, open the starting point, log in to the author's backend, and check the number of royalties for February.
Yes! Today is the first day of the month again, the day when Qidian announces the amount of royalties paid by each author last month.
——49984.5 yuan
When this number came into Sun Quan's eyes, he felt as satisfied as an old farmer who felt so at ease when he saw that the crops in the field had a bumper harvest this year.
If I were to buy steamed buns, could I buy a mountain of steamed buns?
"It's almost 50,000..."
There was a bit of regret in the tone of Sun Quan, a bitch.
If someone is as cheap as he is, someone will naturally deal with him!
When he hummed a little tune and opened the Qidian City channel and found the urban monthly ticket list, he immediately lost the mood to hum a little tune because the number one spot on the urban monthly ticket list was no longer his "My Decathlon".
It’s Gui Wu’s “Evil Qi”.
"Evil" 887 votes.
"My Decathlon" 658 votes.
"Evil" ranked first, and "My Decathlon" ranked second.
The third place "My Celebrity Girlfriend" has significantly fewer monthly votes than the two of them, with only 322 votes.
"My Decathlon" had more than 300 votes more than "My Celebrity Girlfriend", but Sun Quan was not happy at all. It was only the first day of March, and the title of the city's monthly ticket champion was lost to Gui Wu's "Evil"
Taken away.
Although he had long been mentally prepared that he would not be able to hold the first place in the city's monthly ticket this month, but he was sitting in the second place from the beginning, and the gap in his heart was still a bit big.
Is "Evil" so popular in its second month on the shelves?
Before today, Sun Quan didn't see any sign of "Xie Qi" exploding in popularity. At least at midnight last night, there was no trace of "Xie Qi" in the top ten positions on the Qidian monthly ticket list.
With a dark face, Sun Quan clicked on the page of "Evil", and then clicked on the table of contents page. He wanted to see if Gui Wu had updated the book in the early morning. For Sun Quan, this was very important!
Sun Quan remembered clearly that when he went to bed last night, "My Decathlon" was still the number one in the city's monthly votes.
If Gui Wu had released several better chapters in the early hours of the morning and snatched away his title of No. 1 city monthly ticket holder, then he would still have some confidence in regaining this title.
Because now he is not afraid to fight with others for updates.
However, if Gui Wu hadn't snatched away his title of No. 1 city monthly ticket holder through explosive updates, then Sun Quan's... hope of regaining it would be slim.
Because that means there is a big gap in the quality of their two books, and this gap is often not something that can be made up by more updates.
Besides, Gui Wu’s update speed is not too slow.
…
As a result, Sun Quan discovered that Gui Wu did not post updates in the early morning, but at about 8 o'clock this morning, he posted three chapters in a row. After three chapters, he also posted a chapter asking for votes.
And after 8 o'clock, it's only about two hours away from now...
In just over two hours, he blasted his "My Decathlon".
Sun Quan frowned. This reality was different from what he expected. Gui Wu didn't update it, right? Gui Wu published three chapters in a row this morning.
Therefore, "Evil" did not rise to the top solely based on its excellent quality.
Logically speaking, this situation is more consistent with the first one he guessed, but it is not completely consistent. After all, Gui Wu only updated three chapters in a row today, and the amount of updates is not as exaggerated as he imagined.
Sun Quan frowned and pondered for a while, without saying a word, and found the starting point monthly ticket list.
He also wanted to see the rankings of "Evil" and "My Decathlon" on the monthly vote list today.
He needs to refer to the ranking on the monthly ticket list to determine whether his monthly ticket is low this month or whether "Evil"'s monthly ticket is high. The reference object is the top ten on the monthly ticket list.
The monthly vote list can be found quickly.
"Evil", which only briefly stayed on the monthly charts in February, is proudly ranked fifth on the charts today.
And his "My Decathlon" was at the bottom of the list, barely ranking tenth.
This is a sad fact.
Sun Quan stared at the ranking on the list for a long time without blinking.
He knew he was jealous.
He couldn't help but be jealous. Last month, he worked hard and took advantage of the updates from the great masters during the Chinese New Year to get the fourth place in the monthly vote list.
In just 28 days, more than 500,000 words were updated. Isn’t this a waste of life?
But Gui Wu's "Evil Qi" only updated three chapters today, and it ranked fifth on the overall list.
Yes! This kind of comparison is not very scientific, and it shouldn't be compared like this, but Sun Quan saw the gap in the quality of "My Decathlon" and "Xie Qi".
There is no other explanation!
It is only possible that there is a big gap in the quality of the two books, which would lead to such a monthly vote list effect.
Sun Quan once again realized that he was at a disadvantage by using the book "My Decathlon" to compete with these great masters for the monthly vote list. Before his rebirth, the book "My Decathlon" was only a starting point for a high-quality work.
.
Although that is the quality standard in 2019, in 2006 and 2007, it has the advantage of dimensionality reduction. It is like if someone takes an ordinary game ten years later to compete with those games now, there are definitely advantages, but
Now it seems that the advantages of his book "My Decathlon" are not big enough to compete with the current top works.
What's the difference?
Sun Quan mentally compared his book with the top nine works on the list one by one, and gradually came to a realization.
As for essay pens, he asked himself that his current writing skills were adequate. Of the top nine works on this list, there would be no more than three that clearly surpassed him in terms of writing skills.
Attention! What we are talking about here is obviously exceeding, which is the kind of gap that ordinary people can see.
In terms of creativity, my book "My Decathlon" is actually quite creative. The male protagonist improves his various attributes and skills by collecting positive energy, and it can also increase others' favorability towards him.
This kind of creativity should be said to be very innovative in 2006 and 2007.
However, every era has its own popular trends. Nowadays, fantasy and fairy tale-related creativity are more popular. There is no other reason! Readers love to read it!
Most of the current readers got into online writing by reading fantasy and fairy tale novels, such as "My Decathlon", which have become more inclined to urban creativity.
This is not to say that urban novels are not popular, but it is a natural disadvantage in terms of style.
Just like the urban and rural-themed movies and TV series in the film and television industry, when compared with blockbusters such as martial arts and fairy tales, they are not on the same level in terms of style.
Staring at the books on the monthly ticket list, Sun Quan frowned and thought for more than an hour before looking away.
Sun Quan, who usually seemed a little unruly in front of others, looked a little deep in his eyes at this time. He lit a cigarette and adjusted his mental state for a while. He exhaled and stopped thinking about things, but started today's work.
Update, and then get ready to start today’s coding task.
After all, he is no longer in his early twenties. He will not immediately reduce the number of updates of "My Decathlon" because he is jealous of the sharpness of "Evil" and prepare new books with better creativity to compete with works such as "Evil".

Let’s first earn all the money that can be earned from “My Decathlon”.
