I found a cell phone from ten years ago.

Chapter 101 Million-Dollar Manuscript Fee
"Guanfu, this is yours." Li Xu said, took out another apple and handed it to Li Guanfu, then took out two more apples and threw them to Xu Haoyang and Shen Qiang respectively.

"This is for both of you."

Since He Weichen and Zhao Jiazi were not in the dormitory, he put the apples on their desks.

After dividing it, there was only one apple left in the bag.

Li Xu was going to give this apple to Liu Xin.

"Is there any share for us?" Xu Haoyang reached out to catch the apple thrown by Li Xu and said with a smile.

Shen Qiang was playing with his phone with his head down, seemingly chatting with someone. After he took the apple, he just said "Thank you, Brother Xu" and continued playing with his phone.

Li Guanfu packed up his books, put on his backpack, said goodbye to Li Xu, Shen Qiang and others, and went out.

Judging from the situation, he should have gone to the study room to review with his girlfriend.

Li Xu pulled out a chair, sat down at the desk, opened his laptop, and went to the writer's area.

Today is a holiday, and he is going to date Luo Jiahui in the evening and go to the city to play, so he plans to update the novel in advance.

After a month, the performance of "Mysterious" has increased a lot.

The total collection has exceeded 300,000, and the average subscription has also exceeded 30,000, making it the fourth work on Qidian.com to have an average subscription of over 30,000 after "Panlong", "Tun Xingkong" and "Fighting Break Sphere".

That’s right, at this time, two of the novels with an average subscription of over 4 on Qidian.com were written by Tomato.

The rapid growth of "Mysterious" in performance, with more than 120,000 collections and more than 10,000 average subscriptions in less than a month, was largely due to the popularity brought by Li Xu's continuous hype.

Organizing raffles, treating fans to dinner, and using the gimmick of being the "youngest online literature master" have all become a hot topic in the online literature circle.

Online writers are generally low-key, even the great ones. None of them are as high-profile as Li Xu, who loves to show off.

It can be said that he may not be the most powerful god, but he is definitely the most famous and popular one.

Especially since he found a girlfriend like Luo Jiahui, who is more beautiful than a model, this is really eye-catching.

All I can say is that no matter what era, beauties are always the most eye-catching.

The photos taken by Luo Jiahui at offline gatherings were even uploaded to forums such as Tianya and Hupu, and were sought after by many people.

Nowadays, she has gained some fame on the Internet and can barely be considered an Internet celebrity.

There are internet celebrities in this era, such as the Milk Tea Sister who quickly became popular online last year because of a photo of her holding a cup of milk tea.

The performance of "Daogui" is also quite good. Although it is not as good as "Gui Mi", after two or three rounds of recommendations, it currently has more than 30,000 collections.

However, the reputation of this book is extremely polarized. Those who like it love it very much, while those who don’t like it can’t get into it at all.

Even in the comment section, fans of "The Mystery" and readers of "The Dao of Gui" were arguing fiercely.

After updating the novel, Li Xu logged into Qidian again and clicked on the monthly ticket list to take a look.

It’s the end of the month again, and the competition for the monthly ticket rankings has become fierce.

Li Xu did not compete for the rankings this month, but "Mysterious" still received a lot of monthly votes, more than 11,000, ranking second on the monthly ticket list.

Ranked first is Tudou’s “Fights Break Sphere”.

This month, "Fights Break Sphere" is extremely popular. With only seven or eight days left until the end of the month, there are already more than 16,000 monthly tickets.

The reason why there are so many monthly tickets is not because Tudou has updated a lot this month, but because the popularity of "Fights Break Sphere" has completely exploded after being serialized for more than a year and a half.

It is estimated that in the next few months, "Fights Break Sphere" will win the championship consecutively.

It can only be said that Li Xu is lucky. If it were this month, with "The Mystery" and "Fights Break Sphere" competing for the top spot, even if they updated frequently and added some extra tricks, they might not be able to win.

After closing the webpage, Li Xu leaned back in his chair and silently calculated the royalties in his mind.

Although he only updated three times a month, with occasional extra chapters, and had updated less than 300,000 words in a month, only a quarter of the number of words updated last month, his royalties continued to increase. He estimated that he could earn around one million (before tax).

This number far exceeded his previous expectations.

This is mainly due to the increase of more than 12,000 in average subscriptions. Last month, the average subscription was more than 21,000, and now it is more than 33,000, an increase of one-half.

After the average subscription increases, not only will the income from newly updated chapters increase, but old chapters will also generate new income.

Even if it is one million, it will be more than 800,000 after tax deduction, plus the 500,000 or so he has now.

In other words, he will soon have his first million in his life?
Thinking of this, Li Xu couldn't help but feel happy.

Money is a person's greatest confidence, especially for men.

At this moment, Shen Qiang, who had been busy sending messages, suddenly put away his phone and stood up from his chair excitedly.

He opened the closet and started humming a song while changing his clothes.

Seeing this, Xu Haoyang asked curiously, "What are you going to do?"

"I just made a date with a girl." Shen Qiang said with a proud smile.

"You're dating a girl again?" Xu Haoyang was a little surprised.

Why say again? Because this is not the first time Shen Qiang has asked a girl out.

He had dated two girls before, but after meeting once or twice, nothing happened.

"Don't worry, buddy, I'm sure it will succeed this time." As if he had guessed what Xu Haoyang was thinking, Shen Qiang said confidently.

After hearing this, Xu Haoyang didn't believe it at all. Shen Qiang had said the same thing the previous two times.

After quickly tidying himself up, Shen Qiang went out excitedly.

Li Xu closed his laptop, reached out to pick up the remaining apple, and stood up to go out.

He planned to go to the University of Finance and Economics and give the apple to Liu Xin.

"Brother Xu, are you going out too?" Xu Haoyang couldn't help but ask when he saw Li Xu was about to leave.

Li Xu also left, and he was the only one left in the dormitory.

Li Xu glanced at him and was about to speak when his cell phone suddenly rang. He took out his cell phone, answered the call, said a few words briefly, and then hung up.

Then he put the apple back on the table and quickly left the dormitory.

Li Xu went downstairs and walked outside the building. He saw Yu Enxin standing under a tree not far away.

She was dressed sweetly and cutely today, with two ponytails and a khaki canvas bag in her hand.

Li Xu walked over slowly and said with a smile, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

Yu Enxin saw Li Xu and a happy smile instantly appeared on her face, but when she heard his words, the smile on her face froze slightly. She curled her lips and said, "If nothing happens, can't I come to see you?"

After saying that, she took out a beautifully packaged peace apple from her canvas bag and handed it to Li Xu.

"this is for you."

Li Xu took the apple, looked at it in his hand, and said to Yu Enxin with a smile: "Did you come here specially to give me an apple?"

It was obvious that the apples were carefully wrapped by Yu Enxin herself using colored paper, which was completely different from the common apples with uniform packaging that he bought.
