Gui Wu woke up, washed up, and went out to buy some fried buns and a cup of soy milk.
He returned to the study, turned on the computer, and while the computer was starting up, he happily ate the fragrant pan-fried buns and took a sip of soy milk from time to time. At this moment, he must be happy.
Because his expression was very satisfied.
Under the computer desk, Erlang's legs were still shaking happily. If his mouth hadn't been filled with fried buns, he might have hummed a little tune.
Finally, the computer started up.
He logged into QQ proficiently and planned to check out several author groups. By browsing the chat records in several author groups, he could quickly understand the latest developments in the industry.
According to his experience, this is more useful than going to the author forum and reading posts one after another.
Because the spring water is warm and the duck is a prophet?
Whenever there is any news in the industry, there are always some authors in the author group who will be the first to receive the news and then share it in the group.
As for...is it appropriate to compare authors to "ducks"?
Never mind it!
As long as the fried buns are delicious and the soy milk is delicious, some problems are not worth wasting brain cells on.
but……
As soon as he logged in to QQ, he received a private message.
He clicked on it and saw that this private message was sent by his friend in the industry - Lao Goose, the author of "My Big Star Girlfriend".
But the content of this private message is: "Feng shui is turning, this time it's your turn to be blown up by him, haha, what do you feel now? Tell me to make me happy?"
Gui Wu frowned.
He muttered: "What do you mean? Who blew me up?"
After thinking about it, he quickly logged into the starting point and found the monthly ticket list.
The next moment, he was stunned.
Because he saw that "Evil", which was ranked third on the overall list last night, had fallen to the fourth position today.
The one that replaced "Evil Spirit" in the third position was "Ring of the Immortal Dragon".
This made him silent for a while, and he did have some thoughts in his heart.
Gui Wu, the author of "The Immortal Dragon Ring", had some knowledge of the struggling salted fish. The "past and present life" of this salted fish had made a fuss in Qidian before. He, Gui Wu, did not live in a vacuum, so he had naturally heard of it.
of.
So he knew it was a salted fish wearing a vest.
If you tear off the vest, it is the author of the book "My Decathlon" - I, Lao Sun.
He remembered very clearly that the previous book "My Decathlon" had exploded with Lao Goose's "My Big Star Girlfriend" more than once, and he had even made fun of Lao Goose about it several times!
And his "Evil Spirit" has surpassed "My Decathlon" several times.
He was somewhat proud of this matter, but today...
At this time, he already understood what Lao Goose meant by what he said in the private message just now: "Every time things turn, this time it's your turn to be blown up by him."
"Sure enough, things have turned around!"
Gui Wu swallowed the fried buns in his mouth and let out a sigh.
Then he replied to Lao Goose in a private message, "What do you think? This book's monthly sales have been growing very fast recently. I had expected that it would be a hit this month. But you, when will you publish a new book? I can't wait.
The flowers have all faded!"
Lao Goose's reply was quick, "Just be tough! I guess you didn't expect that things would change so quickly, right? Hehe."
This private message was sent, but before Gui Wu could reply, Lao Goose sent a new one.
——"As for the new book? It's coming out soon! Just wait!"
Ghost Dance: "Has the name of the new book been decided? What is it called?"
Lao Goose: ""Little and Big Witches"!"
Ghost Dance: "..."
Gui Wu: "You are awesome, this name is quite arbitrary, but to be honest, just because of the title of the book, I really want to read it, really!"
Old Goose: "Oh, then you wait a few more days."
…
This morning, when Sun Quan saw "The Ring of the Immortal Dragon" reaching third place on the overall list, he was not very excited. His goal this month was to be first on the overall list, so reaching third place would not excite him.
The goal hasn’t been achieved yet, so what’s there to be excited about?
He just breathed a sigh of relief and felt more confident.
He glanced at "Ghost Lantern 2" by the way. It was still seventh on the overall list, so there was no need to worry about it for the time being.
He was a little lucky that the author of "Ghost Lantern 2", Ba Xia, was a typical handicapped person. He could not guarantee that he would update a chapter every day, otherwise the performance of this book on the monthly ticket list would not be what he saw.
With a faint smile, Sun Quan logged into the author's backend and uploaded a chapter of today's update. After thinking about it, he posted another monthly chapter.
Now that "The Ring of the Immortal Dragon" has reached third place on the overall list, he finally dares to show his ambition a little bit and no longer has to hide it.
Because he knows in his heart that if an author himself does not dare to say what ranking he wants to compete for, the enthusiasm of readers to vote will be very low.
I saw him thinking for a moment and writing a short chapter asking for votes, the content of which is as follows:
"Thank you all for voting for this book this month. We are now third on the overall list, so thank you all very much! Brothers and sisters, please accept my thanks!
Well, now that we’ve said goodbye, let’s get down to business?
For example: In the remaining eight days of this month, how about we make another push?
It seems that we have never experienced the scenery higher up! Do you want to experience it?
I want to feel it!
So, are you willing to help me realize this wish?
Not much! Just these eight days, I will fight for this month this year. Before the Chinese New Year, I will not fight for the monthly vote list again. This is my promise!
So, will you vote with the monthly votes in your hands?"
…
With such a short single chapter, Sun Quan hesitated slightly when he clicked to publish it, because once this single chapter was published, it would be equivalent to declaring war on the two books that ranked first and second on the overall list.
Reveal his ambitions to the outside world.
It would be somewhat embarrassing if it didn't succeed in the end.
But he hesitated for a moment, and then clicked "Publish".
What was everyone’s reaction after reading this single chapter?
He was a little curious, so he logged into QQ and stared at the movements of the salted fish group.
It was around 9 o'clock in the morning, and the Xianyu School was completely quiet.
A minute passed and no one spoke.
Three minutes passed and still no one spoke.
Five minutes have passed, and the group is still silent.
Sun Quan couldn't help but glance at the network status of his computer. He wondered if his network was offline? It was very normal for the network to be offline these days.
Just when he couldn't help but want to refresh the starting page to see if it was disconnected, someone from the salted fish group finally spoke.
He Zhuo: "Does anyone know what brand of height-increasing medicine is effective? I want to buy some and try it."
Sun Quan was stunned.
I thought to myself: I just posted the chapter asking for votes. Several minutes have passed. I have already revealed my ambition in the chapter. What height-enhancing pills are you asking about?
Fortunately, a few people finally appeared in the group and spoke.
Although the first four people were all replying to the question about height-increasing drugs, the fifth person finally mentioned the single chapter he had just posted.
Who stole Huanran: "The single chapter that Xianyu just posted is quite interesting. He wants to compete for the first place this month!"
Then, the discussion in the group finally turned in the direction Sun Quan wanted.
Biologist: "Really? I'll go take a look!"
Hanshi Chenxiao 0607: "I would like to ask the author what he said about not competing for the monthly vote list before the Chinese New Year. Did he mean before the Chinese New Year? Or before the Chinese New Year? If it is based on the Gregorian calendar, it would be late November now."
Ji Yao: "Pfft, if he was talking about the solar calendar, that would be so shameless!"
Qiutu Weiyu: "Haha, haven't you experienced the shamelessness of our boss before?"
She was extremely happy: "Hey, I just like his shameless energy! Don't tell me, I really want to see him asking for monthly tickets in January!"
…
In front of the computer, Sun Quan, who turned into a screen-peeping dog, was silent.
When he wrote that single chapter, he was clearly talking about before the Lunar New Year. How come these guys in the group misunderstood me so much? Am I really so shameless?
Did you remember the wrong person?
After thinking about it, he silently closed the chat box of Xianyuqun.
Then he suddenly laughed.
Not to mention, after being told this by these guys in the group, he really wanted to compete for the monthly vote list again in January.
It's a pity that this idea can only float in his mind for a while, because he knows very well that the first major plot of "The Ring of the Immortal Dragon" is about to end, and the life of the male protagonist Lin Erdan is about to be completed next month.
There should be a new plot after Lin Erdan's rebirth.
It will definitely take at least one or two months of preparation before we can once again have a plot suitable for competing for the monthly vote list.
…
As for whether the single chapter he just posted was effective?
Just look at the monthly ticket increase of "Undead Dragon Ring".
Sun Quan came to Zhongfa at 9 o'clock in the morning. When he was about to go downstairs for dinner at noon, he took a look at the total number of monthly tickets for "The Ring of the Immortal Dragon" and found that in just about three hours, the total number of monthly tickets had increased by more than 400 votes.
, and "The Tomb of God", which came in second place, only had 600 votes left.
Is there any reaction to "Kamizuka"?
With some curiosity, Sun Quan clicked on the page of "God's Tomb" and glanced at the title and update time of the latest chapter of "God's Tomb".
I found out that "The Tomb of Gods" was not updated this morning.
No monthly stamps were issued either.
This is in line with his understanding of Chen Dong, the author of "The Tomb of Gods". Chen Dong seems to rarely update in the morning.
…
After lunch, Sun Quan turned on his computer and checked the monthly difference between the two books again.
I saw that the difference between "The Ring of the Immortal Dragon" and "The Tomb of Gods" is only about 400 votes.
He clicked on the page of "God's Tomb" again.
I found that Chen Dong still hadn’t updated, and he still hadn’t sent a single chapter asking for monthly tickets.
Is it because Chen Dong still doesn't know that his "Ring of the Immortal Dragon" is on the monthly voting list? Or even though he knows it, he doesn't take it to heart? He has no intention of starting a monthly voting battle with him?
Sun Quan didn't know, and he showed no mercy.
While there was no response from "God's Tomb", he uploaded another chapter update and asked for monthly votes on the chapter title.
After doing this, he stopped looking at the monthly ticket list and prepared to start coding this afternoon.
…
at dusk.
He once again refreshed the starting point monthly vote list.
Unexpectedly, I discovered that the gap in monthly votes between "The Tomb of Gods" and his "Ring of the Immortal Dragon" has widened again. The gap in monthly votes between the two books has once again widened to more than 600 votes.
