Sun Quan thought about it and realized it was true.
If she hadn't reminded him, he wouldn't have remembered it.
However, there is no turning back. Now that you have broken up, let's stick to it to the end!
With this in mind, he replied to her: "Just think that I don't want to buy you a gift! In short, let's stop here!"
After sending this message, Sun Quan didn't wait for Wu Jing's reply for a while. I don't know what she was feeling at this time. She must be very angry, right?
He felt relieved. He really had no interest in continuing a relationship that had ended long ago.
During lunch time, Sun Quan ordered a dish of pickled fish and a bottle of cold beer from Kuang Longfei. During this period, Kuang Longfei spent most of his time cooking in the kitchen. He took a break from the busy work and came out to have a drink with him before returning to the kitchen.
When checking out, the beer money was waived.
…
Returning to the rental house, Sun Quan collected the things he purchased today, turned on his computer, and logged into his author backend at Qidian.
Mainly to check the data of the book I am currently serializing.
There are three books in his author's backstage.
The bottom one is the first book he wrote when he first entered this field - "The Legend of Qingfeng".
The number of collectors shown behind the work is: 37
It was obvious that this book was an absolute hit. Not to mention selling it for money, it had not even signed a contract. It was cut early with less than 20,000 words.
Sun Quan glanced at it and stopped paying attention.
The middle book is a book that earned him tens of thousands of dollars during his college years and brought him money, honor and confidence. The number of collectors shown at the back of this book is 15,774.
The title of this book is: "The Demonic Sword of Online Games".
The top one, which is the book he is currently serializing and updating, is "Blood Sword of Online Games".
The current number of collectors is 7464.
Clicking on the page of this book, Sun Quan saw that the book currently has more than 170,000 words, more than 540,000 clicks, and 18,000 recommendation votes.
There are over a thousand comments in the book review section.
From the data point of view, in the Internet literature environment of 2006, the data of this book is not very bad.
According to Qidian's practice, I will probably write another 20,000 to 30,000 words, or 30,000 to 50,000 to 50,000 words, and then I can put it on the shelves and sell it for money.
But his brows furrowed.
Because in his memory, this book, which followed his previous book, had good data in all aspects before it was put on the shelves, but the number of subscribers after it was put on the shelves was far lower than he expected.
The number of first-time reservations within 24 hours seems to be less than 300.
Absolutely a hit!
He clearly remembers the first 24-hour subscription of the last book "Online Game: The Demonic Sword" when it was released. There were more than 700. By the time he finished writing the book, the average number of subscriptions for each chapter was more than 1,100.
So he made some money.
So, when he started a new book, he didn't dare to change the subject just to be on the safe side, and even the title continued the style of the previous book. Then during the new book period, many readers of the previous book followed, and all aspects of the data seemed to be the same.
good.
But as soon as it was put on the shelves, the cruel reality emerged, and the first order was less than 300.
Such first-order results, if placed on an author with a fast coding speed, might be able to make some money based on the update speed.
But his hand, Sun Quan, was handicapped, and his coding speed was never very fast.
The income of online article authors is directly linked to the number of words updated, because online articles are charged based on the number of words in a single chapter. The faster they are updated, the more they earn, and the slower they are updated... If you want to make money, you need to average the number of words per chapter.
The number of subscribers cannot be too small.
And with an initial order of less than 300, with Sun Quan's hand speed, he could barely survive starving to death. If he wanted to live a nourished life, not worry about food and clothing, and still have some money left to please his girlfriend, that was what he wanted to do.
Don't even think about it.
Because this book was a hit, Sun Quan was short of money for more than a year and often had to rely on instant noodles to make ends meet.
It was also during that period that Wu Jing broke up with him and went to other places.
He doesn't hate her!
Years of experience have long made him understand that if you don't have the capital to earn a living, it's normal to fall out of love when you're in poverty.
He had experienced similar experiences several times.
Wu Jing was just the first female fan to leave him because his work was in the public eye.
There were three more behind him, and they also left him when his works were sold out on the street.
For him, such helplessness is inevitable.
In his previous life, he had been involved in the online literature field for more than ten years, and he had written more than a dozen books. His talent in this field was not very high, and his coding speed was not very fast, so he often fell into trouble.
The income of online article authors depends entirely on the popularity of their works.
If your work is sold out, your income will be very low for a long time.
If you read two or three books in a row, you may have to spend all the money you made before.
Most women who have already entered society are very realistic.
When she sees no hope in you, she will want to leave.
But Sun Quan couldn't ensure that every one of his books would produce results, so his emotional tragedies happened again and again.
The more times he did it, the more he would get used to it.
It was also because of this that he gradually realized a truth - writing is a dead end.
But now...
Looking at the three books in his author's backstage, especially the new book he was serializing recently, he laughed.
——It’s different now!
He returned from 2019 to 2006, just like a college student who suddenly returned to elementary school.
Even though that college student's grades may be average, he will still feel relaxed when he returns to elementary school.
Can't you compare with college students in the same group? Can't you compare with elementary school students?
Well, this metaphor may not be appropriate. The great author in 2006 may not be comparable to Sun Quan today, but at least he is now confident that he can earn the first pot of gold from his works.
After all, no matter what, in 2019, his works could earn over 10,000 yuan a month.
…
Clicking on the "Online Game Blood Sword" that he was currently serializing, Sun Quan read a few chapters with a smile, and then closed the page.
As he expected, from his current perspective, this book does have many problems, such as: sluggish writing, insufficient selling points, unclear main line, insufficiently novel background setting, etc., a bunch of problems.
The book was written in such a way that it would be difficult for him to save it.
Since he already knew that the book's performance was very poor when it was put on the shelves, he naturally did not want to continue writing it.
What's more, if he continues to write, he has to read all the previous 170,000 words. Otherwise, he will not be able to continue writing a work that has passed so many years. Only the devil can remember what he wrote more than ten years ago.
.
Close the page and exit the author backend.
He created a new document and decided to write a new book from scratch. There was no need to create a concept, character setting, outline, outline, anything like that.
Because he was copying the book that had just been banned before his rebirth - "My Decathlon".
This book was banned based on the standard of not being able to describe anything below the neck. Obviously, the review standards for online articles in 2006 were not so strict. He copied it without touching the line at all, and just used it to make his first pot of gold.
