Reborn, I achieved legendary status with a single book.

Chapter 108 Challenging the King of History, Moon View.

The next day.

Chen Yang and Gao Gang parted ways.

Although Takaoka saw how popular the book signing event was in Shanghai, he was thinking of holding another one in Taipei.

However, Chen Yang refused.

One signing ceremony had already exhausted him.

Besides, he really doesn't have time right now.

I've already wasted a lot of time coming to Shanghai.

After returning home, I still have to compete against a bunch of big shots.

Before going home, he planned to buy a house near Aurora University.

"Nanshan Guanlan County".

This is a property development that Chen Yang had his eye on before coming to Shanghai.

This property is located not far from the east gate of Aurora City.

It only takes about ten minutes by bicycle, and the price is reasonable, just over 1 yuan.

Most importantly, this property is a completed building.

The down payment is 3%.

Chen Yang's initial down payment of 20 yuan was not enough.

Later, I learned that my sales had reached 15 copies.

If calculated based on royalties, the total is 30.

I paid 10 before, and I still have 20 left.

Chen Yang then asked Gao Gang for an advance of the remaining 20 yuan for the simplified Chinese publication.

Although some of them do not quite comply with the regulations.

But considering the potential of "The Great World", Takaoka agreed immediately.

Adding them all together, that makes 40.

With 40 yuan, Chen Yang chose a large four-bedroom apartment.

"Sign the contract."

"Swipe your card."

"Apply for a mortgage."

The other party was very efficient.

It was all done in one day.

If we weren't broke.

Chen Yang really wanted to find a renovation company to renovate one bedroom and one bathroom first.

However, Chen Yang was not in a hurry.

It's July now.

I wrote a lot in July, which covered the initial renovation costs.

……

However, in July, Chen Yang encountered a problem.

This is troublesome.

That is, Yueguan, which was ranked fifth on the Qidian monthly ranking and ahead of Chen Yang, suddenly rose to prominence.

His original daily updates were 6000-8000 words.

Recently, the numbers have been frequently exceeding 10,000.

"So fierce?"

"It was already curled up like this back in 07?"

Chen Yang was extremely puzzled.

He believes that writing 1 words a day was already quite impressive in 07.

did not expect.

The Moon Goddess, a dignified being who once possessed the highest rank of Platinum, is actually this powerful.

Is he aiming for platinum or something?
Chen Yang felt a pang of sadness.

After looking at the book review section, Chen Yang instantly understood.

"Turns out he lost money in the stock market."

When Chen Yang saw a group of readers in the book review section joking that Uncle Guan had lost money in the stock market again and had to seriously write, he laughed until his stomach hurt.

Stock trading really can ruin your life.

In his previous life, Chen Yang lost so much money investing in stocks that he vomited blood.

It's not just Chen Yang.

In my past life, there were a lot of authors, even some who were considered top-tier authors.

I always lose a lot of money in the stock market.

Even now, having been reborn, Chen Yang still feels a bit apprehensive about stock trading.

its not right.

Logically speaking.

06 and 07 were a major bull market, how could he possibly lose money?
Afterwards, Chen Yang checked the current stock market situation.

Chen Yang understood.

It turns out I ran into 530.

On May 30, 2007, the A-share market plummeted.

This downward trend continued until July.

It wasn't until August that A-shares broke through upwards again.

However, for those who are unaware of the historical trajectory, they have already been scared into selling at a loss.

As for Chen Yang...

Although I roughly know the course of my past life.

However, he doesn't really want to get involved in stocks.

One is that Chen Yang is currently broke.

All the money was used to buy a house.

the second.

Even if you have money, it doesn't necessarily mean you can make a lot of money by investing in stocks.

For example, Chen Yang now takes 40 yuan to invest in stocks.

Not to mention that Chen Yang was a complete novice in stock trading in his previous life and didn't even know which stock was so amazing.

Even if I know.

Even if you catch a winning stock and make ten times your initial investment, it's still only a little over 400 million.

Moreover, these ten times the time required usually take ten years or more.

Unless Chen Yang has a system in his mind that knows the detailed daily trends of every stock.

Otherwise, you can only leave it there for ten years or so before you can make money.

Since there was no system, Chen Yang didn't completely give up on stocks, he just wasn't that interested in them.

If I have some spare money later, I can invest it.

But now that he needs money, Chen Yang doesn't really want to put it in the stock market.

Countless people in past lives have confirmed this.

People can't earn money beyond what they know.

Even if you just get lucky and make a profit all at once.

Then, inexplicable events will occur, and you'll lose all your money.

I should just focus on writing my book.

……

"We've run into a tough opponent."

The monthly ticket battle is not like a real-life battle.

I'll shoot you, and you'll fall.

The monthly ticket battle is a month-long struggle.

With both books performing well, neither author necessarily has a killer feature that surpasses the other.

Chen Yang's "The Vast World" is certainly good.

But Yue Guan's "Return to the Ming Dynasty" is also incredibly impressive.

Even from the current perspective...

It's a bit more popular than Chen Yang's "The Vast World".

otherwise.

How come he's ranked ahead of Chen Yang?

"war."

Chen Yang was not discouraged at all.

"Return to the Ming Dynasty" is strong.

But his "The Vast World" is no less impressive.

It's just that he can't explode onto the scene right now.

After all, a novel doesn't always have a climax.

After the previous climax, the plot is now entering the setup phase.

The plot isn't that intense, so there will be relatively fewer monthly votes.

However, there are also strategies for the preparatory phase.

There's not much to say.

When the strengths are roughly equal for the time being, the key to victory is innovation and updates.

The Moon View can write 1 characters.

Then I can code 11,000.

If 11,000 is too many to divide into chapters, then let's go with 12,000.

Because of summer vacation, Chen Yang changed the word count from 2000 words per chapter to 3000 words per chapter, which is more common now.

12,000 means 3000 words per chapter, and four chapters per day.

The detailed outline had already been prepared, and Chen Yang simply typed it out in front of the computer.

"Brothers, here's 12,000 for today."

After updating 12,000 words that day, Chen Yang added a sentence at the end of the chapter.

There is no doubt about it.

This sentence means "I'm asking for your monthly votes."

The group of readers naturally understood Chen Yang's code.

With 12,000 votes for 4 chapters, there was a small surge in monthly votes.

……

"1."

"sure."

On the other side of the internet, there was a man surnamed Wei.

Seeing that a book next door had updated 12,000 words in a single day, he also picked up his keyboard and started writing.

Yes.

He is Yue Guan, the author of "Return to the Ming Dynasty".

Since May, his stocks have been deeply trapped.

Two months have passed, and I still haven't gotten out of this predicament.

Left with no other choice, he had to cut off his own flesh.

He vowed never to trade stocks again.

He focused his main energy on writing books.

He naturally knew that the boy next door was his rival.

He had previously struggled to keep up with this kid's daily updates of 1 words.

Fortunately, he made some adjustments recently.

You give me 1, I'll give you 1.

But he didn't expect that.

This guy has released another massive update, reaching 12,000 words.

But Yue Guan is not one to give up easily.

Although he is not a teenager.

But he was in his prime, so why would he be afraid of losing?

It's just 2000 words more than 1. If you can write it, so can I.

in one breath.

Following Chen Yang's standards, Yue Guan updated 12,000 pages.

The two of them had a great understanding.

It has been updated for seven consecutive days.

For seven days, there was a burst of 12,000 words per update.

This was a feast for the eyes of book lovers on both sides, allowing them to enjoy reading to their heart's content.

……

"I feel like Moon Observation and Unseen God are having a PK battle."

"You only see it now?"

"Uh, you guys already knew?"

"nonsense."

The showdown between Chen Yang and Yue Guan attracted the attention of many people in the industry.

In particular, the fact that both of them updated their posts by 12,000 words each has intensified the competition within the industry.

"One is fifth place and the other is sixth place, so there is bound to be competition between them."

"Given that the difference in monthly votes between the two is not particularly large, although Yue Guan is in fifth place, there is no absolute certainty that he can maintain fifth place. Bu Yang Shen is in sixth place, and if he doesn't release a lot of new chapters, it will be impossible for him to catch up with Yue Guan in a short period of time."

"So, one wants to win, and the other doesn't want to lose."

"As a result, both of them moved up one rank."

such a result.

This left people in the industry speechless.

Let's refresh the monthly ticket rankings.

At this time, Yue Guan was ranked fourth, and Chen Yang was ranked fifth.

Yes.

Two big shots going head-to-head.

However, it pushed the previously fourth-ranked "Buddhist expert" down.

……

"continue."

Although they moved up one place.

But Chen Yang did not stop.

He continued with 12,000 updates.

but.

Chen Yang isn't the type to write 12,000 words in one go.

Chen Yang made a writing plan during the summer vacation.

He writes 6000 words between 8 a.m. and 12 p.m.

Take a 2-hour break at noon.

Write 6000 words between 2 PM and 6 PM.

That's how you write 12000 words in 8 hours.

If inspiration strikes, I can sometimes write up to 15,000 words.

This is a writing habit that Chen Yang has recently developed.

In his previous life, he stayed up all night every day, which made his body unhealthy.

He was reborn in this life with the body of a young boy.

In addition to the year of senior high school.

This made Chen Yang's life more regular.

The body is the capital of revolution.

This is what the instructor said.

For Chen Yang

One's health is the foundation for writing.

The better your health, the more words you can write, and the stronger your inspiration will be.

Regular typing not only allows Chen Yang to maintain such high typing efficiency, but also keeps his body in optimal condition.

Being in the best possible state of mind is essential for generating the most efficient plot and inspiration.

so repeatedly.

Under this pattern, Chen Yang was able to sustain a long period of rapid updates.

……

but.

In contrast to Chen Yang's side.

There's something not quite right about the situation at Yueguan.

After losing money in the stock market.

Although Yue Guan devoted all his energy to writing.

However, the output of 12,000 for a whole week left him extremely exhausted.

most of the time.

He had to write all night to earn 12,000 words.

If it happens only occasionally, it's nothing to worry about.

But the guy behind him was too fierce, and he dared not relax for a moment.

In order to avoid being violated by him, Yue Guan continued to update 12,000 words.

in this way.

Three more days have passed.

this day.

Yue Guan finished writing 12,000 words in another all-nighter.

After finishing writing, he washed his face and then went to sleep.

I woke up again.

It was already 5 p.m.

My head feels a little dizzy.

but.

He got up to write.

I took a shower.

He's feeling better.

I ate some more.

Tsukimi sat down in front of the computer once again.

It's just a contrast to the constant stream of inspiration that had been popping into my head before.

I don't know why this time.

He felt like his mind was completely blank.

He sat in front of the computer for an hour, but didn't type a single word.

He went outside for some fresh air.

Then come back.

Another hour passed, and still not a single word was typed.

He made himself a cup of tea.

The tea was refilled three times.

Not a single character has been typed.

So and so.

It was already 22 PM.

Looking at the vast blank Word document, Yue Guan noticed that the ashtray in front of him was already overflowing with cigarette butts.

He actually finished typing today's words last night while staying up all night.

But he knew that the situation today was very bad.

He felt that something was very wrong with him.

He used to write.

This is a very happy thing.

but now.

He felt that writing had become like submitting homework, or even a painful thing.

This made his inspiration increasingly worse.

Many readers have even said that the quality of his recent chapters has dropped significantly.

He knew he couldn't go on like this.

He must return to his original state.

"Toad, do you recognize your unattractive appearance?"

"do not know."

"Didn't he violate your anus before?"

"Holy crap...can't you speak properly?"

"Just kidding. But my chrysanthemum is in danger too."

"He used his ultimate move?"

"What's your secret weapon?"

"Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Finger".

"Pfft... No, not at all."

"Then what did you say?"

No.

Sighed.

I checked the monthly overall rankings.

At that time, he was still ranked 4th.

But he knew.

In a few days.

He will return to 5th place.
