Reborn, I achieved legendary status with a single book.

Chapter 106's royalties exceeded 20 yuan.

After the scores are released.

Just to be on the safe side, Chen Yang still referred to the college entrance examination admission process from previous years.

Applying to universities is a complex subject.

In his previous life, Zhang Xuefeng was a professional in this field.

Fortunately, Chen Yang didn't choose a major because he thought it would be more lucrative or have a better future.

He just wants to find an easy and easy major to get a pretty good university degree so he can write more.

This made things much easier.

I checked the data.

Chen Yang ultimately applied to Aurora University to study Chinese Language and Literature.

The reason for reporting it is Aurora.

I felt a bit more at ease with Aurora University because I went to participate in the New Concept Writing Competition with Teacher Zhang Yu last time.

When Teacher Zhang heard that Chen Yang had applied to Aurora University, she excitedly told him, "From now on, I'll call you my junior brother."

College application period is over.

Then we'll wait for the notification.

Chen Yang continued typing as usual.

In the last week of June, Chen Yang attempted to break into the top 5 of the overall monthly rankings.

But a pity.

They didn't make it.

Chen Yang was not discouraged.

The fifth place on the overall monthly list is Yue Guan's "Back to Ming".

This book has also broken out of its niche.

His breakthrough was even more impressive than Chen Yang's.

After all, "Back to the Ming Dynasty" is a historical novel, and it's about the very popular Ming Dynasty.

This gives it a natural advantage over other themes in terms of breaking into new audiences.

At the same time, Yue Guan is not as Buddhist-like as some other authors.

He was originally a veteran on Qidian.

We attach great importance to the overall monthly rankings.

For the past month, he has been constantly begging for monthly votes.

finally.

Chen Yang finished the month's ranking competition in 6th place overall.

However, it will be on July 1st.

Chen Yang made preparations immediately, and after updating the novel with 10,000 words, he immediately started asking for votes.

The beginning of the month is the best time to ask for votes.

Because some readers spent 15 yuan last month, according to the rules, they will receive a guaranteed monthly pass next month.

If we don't ask for it at this time.

Many readers will then use that monthly pass for other books.

Back in May, Chen Yang hadn't thought things through properly and missed the guaranteed monthly pass at the beginning of the month.

Despite her efforts afterward, she could only rank 10th on the monthly list that month.

At this time, there is no need to attend classes, and there are no other distractions.

If we don't fight for it now, when will we ever get another chance?

In fact.

The effect was also very obvious.

On July 1st, the first day of the month, Chen Yang's "The Great World" ranked 6th in the total monthly votes.

The preceding sections are: Buddha's Origin, Journey to the North, Tomb of the Gods, Dust of History, and Return to the Ming Dynasty.

Same as last month.

It can be said.

The top five rankings are basically secure.

Buddha was too sharp and outspoken. Ever since he became number one in the second half of 06, he has remained number one.

The book "Zhi Bei You" is said to contain half of a heavenly book.

Although it's a bit exaggerated, his strength is terrifying.

Chen Yang had heard of the author of this work in his previous life.

Needless to say, the Tomb of the Gods is Chen Dong's masterpiece that made him a legend.

Even though this work is a fantasy that blends Eastern and Western elements, it is still written with a grand scale and fully demonstrates the charm of fantasy.

Since its huge success last year, "Back to the Ming Dynasty" has maintained a high level of popularity.

In addition, Yue Guan's writing style is quite mature, and he has countless literary youths and female fans.

Next up is Chen Yang's "The Vast World".

"Daqian World is performing very well. It entered the top 10 in May, the top 6 in June, and was also 6th on the first day of July. I wonder if it can beat Huiming, which is 5th."

"It's possible, but very difficult. The top five books above 'Back to the Ming Dynasty' are all hugely popular works. They are truly masterpieces. You see, even Toad's works can't make it into the top five. To surpass 'Back to the Ming Dynasty' will definitely not be so simple."

"Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Finger".

"Pfft... This move is indeed very powerful, but it can't be used too often, right?"

"That's true. However, today is the first day of July, so let's check again at the end of the month."

Many people are paying attention to the Qidian monthly rankings.

Chen Yang continued to write 10,000 words every day, just like before.

Now it's time for real action.

However, Chen Yang was not discouraged because he hadn't yet defeated the 5th place chrysanthemum.

Isn't there still a month left?
A lot can happen in a month.

……

The royalties for June have been paid out.

June saw significantly more cases than previous months.

The subscription fee was used to update 250,000 words in June.

Except for a few days in early June when I had to take the college entrance exam, I wrote 6 words every day.

The average price has been raised to 12,000.

The subscription fee is 45000 yuan.

Adding the 3000 yuan from the top 6 monthly rankings, that's 48000 yuan.

The growth rate was not as rapid as in later periods.

The main issue is that the price increase for high-end orders is relatively slow.

This is also because the base number in 07 was still too small.

If this were in later generations...

With an initial order of 8000, the average monthly order is easily 16,000, or even 20,000.

However, the current base is too small, so the growth of high-end orders is relatively slow.

High subscription refers to subscriptions from new users.

New user subscriptions don't come quickly, so average daily subscriptions are naturally harder to increase.

However, Chen Yang also noticed that the traffic on Qidian is accelerating significantly.

In addition, there are the full attendance benefits and other systems that Qidian introduced last month.

It is believed that subscriptions on Qidian will see significant growth by the end of this year.

Of course, Chen Yang's income in June was not just 48,000.

Last month, three more volumes of the traditional Chinese version of "The Great World" were published in Taiwan.

I've already transferred the money to Chen Yang; it's still 3 yuan.

Meanwhile, Chen Yang also obtained the data from Taiwan.

"The Vast World" has made it into the top ten best-selling online novels in Taiwan.

That adds up to 78,000.

That's not all.

The simplified version gave Chen Yang a pleasant surprise.

After Takaoka attempted to publish the simplified Chinese version of "The Great World," he would occasionally send messages to Chen Yang.

It is said that "The Vast World" sold well.

But Chen Yang didn't know exactly how well it sold.

But there is no data.

However, Gao Gang had already paid Chen Yang 10 yuan in royalties.

They also said.

This is the first batch.

There will be more later.

This reminded Chen Yang of Tang San.

What made Tang San a king?
It's not based on electronic royalties.

He relies on offline channels.

Simplified Chinese characters, comics, and various copyrighted IPs.

Think of this.

Chen Yang was making plans in his mind.

In addition to consolidating our online presence, we also need to continue expanding offline.

future.

Perhaps he and Tang San will even have a PK battle offline.

Chen Yang continued calculating.

If you add up the 10 simplified characters, that's 17.

In addition, Chen Yang received 30,000 yuan in April.

Chen Yang's secret stash had grown to 20 yuan.

20 was not a small amount in 07.

Chen Yang's father worked for decades, and the total family fortune he earned was only around 30 yuan.

In just a few months, Chen Yang made 20 yuan.

Moreover, Chen Yang's earnings from this manuscript can also be used to predict this.

Chen Yang's royalties will increase even more in the future.

It's 20 every few months now.

In the future, it could be 20 a month, or even more.

Buy a house.

The first thought that came to Chen Yang's mind was to buy a house.

of course.

I won't buy from Xinfeng.

Buying in a small county town wouldn't be of much value.

Later, I can come back and buy a bigger one with a better environment for my parents.

but now.

Consider big cities first.

Magic City.

first timing.

Chen Yang chose Shanghai.

Shanghai is a big city, and I will be going to school there in the future.

Buying a house there would be the most suitable option.

In addition, I also have to write.

Chen Yang couldn't possibly stay in his dorm room coding. So he turned on his computer and checked housing prices in Shanghai.

"good."

In 07, housing prices in Shanghai weren't this outrageous.

Chen Yang checked and found that the average price was around 11,000.

Of course, there are also some that cost more than 2 or 3... those are luxury homes in really good locations.

As for places like Tomson Riviera, those are even more outrageous.

But Chen Yang knew.

Even if the current price is around 11,000, it could rise to over 50,000 or even 100,000 in the future.

20 can be used as a down payment.

With my future royalties, I can easily afford the mortgage.

even.

Chen Yang felt that he could pay off his mortgage a year early.

"Chen Yang, has the royalties arrived yet?"

Just thinking about it.

Just then, Takaoka called.

Chen Yang said, "Received, thank you very much, Mr. Gao."

"No need for thanks, we're just cooperating. But I really didn't expect online novels to sell so well. We've reprinted another 10 copies of your 'The Vast World.' Um, I was wondering if you have time to come to Shanghai?"

"Magic City?"

"Ok?"

"I just want to hold a book signing event to create some excitement. Of course, all expenses for food and accommodation will be reimbursed here."

"Okay, when?"

"If you agree, I'll make the arrangements and let you know when the time comes."

"Ok."

"By the way, why don't you shout something in your book too, liven things up, it'll be good for our book sales."

"OK."

hang up the phone.

Chen Yang mentioned the book signing event in Shanghai in the book club and in the latest chapter.

The post was published.

The book lovers were all excited, saying they wanted Chen Yang's autograph.

……

"Chen Yang, come to the internet cafe."

"Playing games at an internet cafe again?"

"Otherwise, we've already filled out our applications and are waiting for the acceptance letters."

"Pfft..."

Chen Yang laughed: "We still have to wait for the college admission notice."

"Don't underestimate junior college; come quickly, I'm feeling a bit down on my own."

"Row."

Chen Yang knew that Zhang Lin had been in a bad mood lately.

Ten minutes later.

Chen Yang went to Lenovo Internet Cafe.

At this moment.

Zhang Lin is playing World of Warcraft.

Chen Yang didn't turn on the phone; instead, he moved a stool over and sat down next to Zhang Lin.

He now has internet access at home.

I have no interest in going to internet cafes anymore.

After Zhang Lin finished a game of Warcraft, Chen Yang said, "Not bad. You haven't practiced Warcraft for a year, but your skills haven't deteriorated much."

Zhang Lin's skills are indeed quite good.

This reminded Chen Yang of his previous recommendation to get involved in e-sports.

But a pity.

I had a chance last year.

But Zhang Lin gave it his all.

Then that team will no longer wait for Zhang Lin.

"What's the use of being alright? I contacted Shengda again a few days ago. They said they've already filled all their positions. Sigh, I wish I had gone directly to Shanghai last year."

Chen Yang laughed: "Didn't you say you wanted to give it a shot? You've changed your mind?"

"No, it's just..."

"Is Qiuhong ignoring you?"

"No, we've been taking walks together every day for the past few days."

"Not bad, what else is there to add?"

"I have low self-esteem, okay?"

Zhang Lin was a little embarrassed: "She scored over 600 points and reportedly applied to Wuhan University. As for me, I only got 400 points, so I'll just go to a junior college. I don't want to hold her back."

"I really admire you."

Chen Yang took two bottles of Coke: "Let's have one."

"It's okay, really. Who knows what the future holds? Didn't you say that a junior college is still a university? Junior colleges can produce talented people too. Besides, what did you apply for again?"

"E-commerce".

"Yes, if you work with Jack Ma in the future, you'll definitely have a bright future."

"I also want to be Jack Ma's little brother, but he doesn't want me."

"Don't overthink it. Your opportunity hasn't come yet. When it does, Qiu Hong will have to stand on tiptoe and look up to you."

"Stop comforting me."

Zhang Lin was still somewhat depressed.

But then Chen Yang suddenly remembered something: "Hey, which game team did you just mention?"

"Shengda."

"Shengda, the Shengda that made Legends?"

"Yes, they set up several professional teams, and even created second and third teams. I could barely make it into the third team, but I missed the opportunity."

"That's not necessarily true. Zhang Lin, how about this, let me think of a way for you?"

"Can you help me think of a solution? What solutions do you have?"

"The mountain man has his own clever plan."

Chen Yang said with a smile.

Of course, Chen Yang didn't have any brilliant plans.

His solution, however, was to start from the very beginning.

You might ask.

What does the starting point have to do with esports?

The starting point and e-sports are of course unrelated.

But the starting point was also invested by Shengda Investment.

In addition, Qidian and Shengda Games occasionally engage in business dealings.

For example, last month.

Qidian launched a legendary writing contest, which was met with a huge response from authors.

With that connection, things will be much easier.

of course.

Chen Yang doesn't necessarily believe that Zhang Lin will make a name for himself in esports.

But esports is far from reaching its peak.

In the future, with the emergence of League of Legends, Honor of Kings, PUBG Mobile, Huya, Douyu, and Douyin Live, etc.

Even if you don't become a top professional player, you can still make a decent living in this industry.

This is also why Chen Yang previously suggested that Zhang Lin pursue e-sports.

Walking this path doesn't necessarily mean you're actually playing a match.

If you really have the ability, it's not impossible.

However, the series of businesses that have emerged from this area are actually more profitable than online literature.

……

After going back.

Chen Yang then made a phone call to the editor-in-chief and team leader.

Then he talked about Zhang Lin's matter.

of course.

Chen Yang can directly call the station manager, who is also Bao Jian's phone number.

However, Chen Yang is not someone who doesn't know the rules.

He is still under the jurisdiction of Group 3 at the starting point.

Even though he knew Bao Jian, Chen Yang didn't want to call him right away.

The captain found it strange to receive a call from Chen Yang.

However, after hearing Chen Yang's meaning, he laughed.

"You've got a good eye for people. You know what, we at Qidian and Shengda Games have actually had quite a bit of contact."

“I know the manager of the esports department over there. I’ll give him a call.”

"Captain, thank you so much. I'll treat you to dinner in a few days."

did not expect.

This is really possible.

That night.

The captain replied again, telling Chen Yang to take Zhang Lin to Shanghai in a few days.

If there are no technical issues, then Zhang Lin can stay at Shengda.

Chen Yang excitedly called Zhang Lin.

Zhang Lin thought he was dreaming.

After confirming with Chen Yang several times, Zhang Lin excitedly hugged Chen Yang and said, "Dude, I don't know how to thank you."

"What's there to thank me for? I didn't do anything big."

"This is a huge help. But I'm really impressed with you; you even managed to get things done with Shengda."

"That's right, Chen Tianqiao is my older brother."

"Pfft... That's ridiculous."

“Really, look, Chen Tianqiao’s surname is Chen. I’m also surnamed Chen. I’ll check his family tree with his later to see what generation he belongs to. If his generation is lower than mine, he’ll have to call me uncle.”

of course.

It doesn't matter if they are from different generations.

Chen Yangke is the Yingchuan Hall of the Chen Clan, the largest and earliest hall of the Chen Clan.

Other Chen clan ancestral halls are branches of the Chen clan Yingchuan Hall.

For example, the Yimen Chen family in Jiujiang is a branch of the Yingchuan Hall of the Chen family.

If this were the old headquarters, Chen Tianqiao would have to call himself Chief Chen.

"Hahaha……"

Zhang Lin was so exasperated by Chen Yang's words that he almost spat out water.

That evening, Zhang Lin took Chen Yang to get a foot bath, saying he wanted to thank Chen Yang for his great kindness.

Facing a warm and friendly young lady.

Chen Yang said to Zhang Lin with disdain, "If you ever come to this kind of show alone again, I'm cutting ties with you."
