Three days have passed since the contract signing for "The Legend of Shushan Swordsman" was declined.
In the past three days, Hao Yun didn't code a single word, and didn't listen to the editor's advice to try other sites. Instead, he reflected on the reasons for his rejection every day and night.
And the reason why he is so interested in this novel is not because he loves literature.
Just out of idleness...
Dean Li Guoping, who encouraged him to participate, could not have imagined that this guy would have completed the entries and submitted them at the beginning of the month.
In fact, Hao Yun himself did not expect that he was such a genius.
In the following days, he basically went to the computer room to clock in every day, and then found a corner to kill time. After all, no matter how boring it is here, it is more comfortable than going to the playground to bask in the sun.
If Dean Li found out that he had handed in the paper early, Hao Yun was really worried that the old man would drive him back to the playground.
"Is it really because of the new speed?"
Be reasonable.
Although the writing of Shushan Swordsman is a bit retro, it still tells the story seriously. Even if you don’t get used to the readers of this era, it’s not like you can’t even sign a contract, right
Besides, the fairy tale theme is quite new in this world.
At least so far, he has not found a fairy-themed novel after browsing all the major online literature platforms.
Browsing through the messages urging updates in the comment area, Hao Yun suddenly felt a little regretful and at the same time made up his mind.
"Whether it's for this reason or not, I'll finish writing the first volume first."
Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated and immediately edited an author's statement and sent it out.
[Sorry to keep everyone waiting! It's been a bit urgent these past two days, I'm quite anxious, and the updates are intermittent. Starting today, there will be two updates every day until the end of the month. I hope you all can help me vote.]
Click Send.
Within two seconds, a few lines of comments popped up in the book review area.
[That's it? !]
[Gan! I thought it was updated!]
[Dare you call it an explosion after two updates? !]
Good guy, are these anti-fans staring at the book review section every day
I don’t know which one was sent by that bitch Lao Zheng.
Guessing that these three comments were probably all his readers, Hao Yun didn't have the same understanding as them. He closed the work page at the speed of light, switched to the document and started to pass the boring time with code words...
…
Since the last time he entrusted "The Legend of Shushan Swordsman" to his old friend, Liu Ye put this matter aside for the time being and didn't care about it anymore.
As for Editor Wang, he didn’t ask him why the book hadn’t been signed yet.
After all, in the field of online writing, it is common for things to disappear as soon as they are written. After all, there are only a few who can persevere, and ordinary newcomers do not deserve special attention from his editor-in-chief.
More than half a month passed like this. Liu Ye finished his day's work as usual and was about to go home from get off work early when his old friend Qijian suddenly called.
"Good brother, do you have the WeChat account of the owner of Huanzhu Tower?!"
"Yes, yes..." Hearing this strange question, Liu Ye frowned and asked, "What's wrong? Didn't he go to your place?"
It's been more than half a month.
He had to read dozens of newly added books every day, and he almost forgot about it.
"What the hell!" Qin Jian said in a fit of laughter and tears, "I've been waiting for almost half a month and I still haven't seen anyone!"
"No way? I asked him to go to your place." Suddenly thinking that he was still in the company, Liu Ye glanced around guiltily, lowered his voice and continued, "It's not convenient for me to talk here. I'll contact him The method will be recommended to you on WeChat!”
Qin Jian said excitedly: "Thank you, brother!"
After hanging up the phone, Liu Ye immediately pushed the WeChat account of the owner of Huanzhu to Qijian.
Soon, a message came back from the other side.
[Thank you! (Holding fists)]
"When did this guy become so polite?"
Liu Ye smiled and shook his head, and was about to turn off the phone screen. However, at this moment, he suddenly thought of this guy's strange reaction before, and he couldn't help but have a doubt in his heart.
This guy actually made a special call for something that could be asked on WeChat.
It’s so abnormal!
Thinking of this, Liu Ye immediately opened the Xiake.com app and found the "Shushan Swordsman Biography".
When he saw the date of the latest chapter update, he almost spit out blood on the keyboard.
Damn it!
Why is this guy so tough
Still updating? !
Not only is it still being updated, but the update speed is faster than before.
In half a month, the latest chapter has reached the 41st chapter, and the plot has also advanced to the Dagao Dynasty of "Fighting Fa at Ciyun Temple", throwing out the introduction to the next volume "Li Yingqiong Learns Taoism".
Liu Ye only glanced at it briefly before his eyes were caught by the wonderful content.
The reaction in the book review area is also expected, with posts such as "Fuck that's awesome", "This is so cool!", and "Hurry up and update it!" being flooded with posts.
Looking at the collection again, it turned out to be 10,000. Although 10,000 collections on Xiake.com are not an outstanding achievement, the reading rate has reached a terrifying half. The fan stickiness is catching up with those great masters who have published more than a dozen popular books, which is incredible.
Looking at this astonishing data, Liu Ye was stunned.
Isn’t this a recommended book
Look at the accounts in the book review area. If you click on any two accounts, they all have subscription records, and they are not spam accounts that have not seen a single subscription record after being registered for hundreds of days. Looking at the content of the book review, it is not the kind of one-size-fits-all format posted, and the possibility of it being copied is very slim.
After working as an editor for so many years, it’s not like I haven’t seen the author Liu Ye bite the bullet and write.
But this was the first time he had seen an author who was so stubborn and achieved such success in a work that was neither recommended nor signed.
This, this is too hard, right? !
…
While Liu Ye was looking at the book review section of "The Legend of Shushan Swordsman" with a confused look on his face, Hao Yun, who was far away at Jiangcheng University, was also looking at his WeChat account with a confused look on his face.
Originally, he was finishing the manuscript for the second volume and was about to go to the Writer's Backstage to take photos of these chapters and update them automatically. However, a strange account suddenly added his WeChat account through a friend's recommendation.
The button to agree to the addition was pressed.
Before he could ask "Who are you?", a soul torture came from the opposite side.
[Don’t you even read private messages from readers’ accounts?]
A private message from a reader account
What is that
At this moment, Hao Yun suddenly remembered that after the author account on Xiake.com was created, a reader account with the same name would be created by default. However, he usually doesn't read books, so naturally he doesn't log in to the reader account often.
Thinking of this, he immediately opened the Xiake.com app and searched for a while before finally finding the private messaging function.
After filtering out those useless private messages urging updates, he quickly saw a different guy.
That user's avatar looked like a sword, and he had dozens of unread messages. The latest message was sent this afternoon, and the earliest message can be traced back half a month ago...
[Brother, you haven’t signed a contract yet?]
[…]
[Don’t bother, you’re already twenty chapters in and haven’t signed yet. There’s no way you’re going to sign! Why don't you try reading at Sea Lion? I heard the benefits there are good!]
[Okay, I won’t pretend anymore. In fact, I am the editor-in-chief of Sea Lion Reading. I won’t say who it is. Just add me on WeChat and you will understand.]
[Seven Swords! I am Seven Swords! I am the Seven Swords of Sea Lion Reading!]
[Fuck! Please pay attention to me! ?]
[? ? ?]
Confused by the messages that filled the screen, Hao Yun slid his thumb to WeChat and slowly sent a message.
[?]
This guy…
Who the hell is it? ?
