Reborn, I achieved legendary status with a single book.

Chapter 5 You're not some big shot, are you?

"Today, we would like to commend several students. Chen Xuewei achieved a total score of 656. Ai Yonghuan also achieved a total score of 640."

"But I also need to criticize a few students today: Zhang Lin, 300 points. And Chen Yang, 390 points."

Ok.

Chen Yang's estimate was slightly off.

Chen Yang thought the total score would be above 400, but he didn't expect it to be 390.

Actually, 390 points is around 400 points.

But scoring only a little over 300 points across all six subjects is somewhat embarrassing.

However, Chen Yang's mindset is still okay.

These days, besides writing, he spends his time reviewing his textbooks.

Scoring 390 points isn't great right now, but Chen Yang feels he's improving every day.

"Chen Yang, you usually score around 500 points, how come you only got 390?"

His deskmate, Zhang Lin, was also extremely puzzled.

It's perfectly normal for him to score 300 points.

Not only is it normal.

He scored 300 points, which was an exceptional performance.

If he doesn't perform exceptionally well, he'll score over 200 points.

But it's not normal for Chen Yang to score over 300 points.

Although Chen Yang wasn't one of the top students in the class, he was still quite good.

Getting into a second-tier university shouldn't be a problem.

"Chen Yang, what's wrong with you?"

The student sitting in front of me, Chen Xuewei, also turned around.

Chen Xuewei and Chen Yang have known each other since childhood; they can be considered childhood friends.

When she heard the homeroom teacher say that Chen Yang's total score was only 390, she frowned, then took out a notebook and handed it over: "Your decline is too great. Here are my notes, take a look."

"Thanks."

Chen Yang and Chen Xuewei grew up together and have a very good relationship.

Chen Yang didn't stand on ceremony and was about to open Chen Xuewei's notebook.

A voice rang out from the other side: "Chen Yang, did you go to an internet cafe to play games during your vacation the other day? Let me tell you, if you go to an internet cafe again, you won't even get into a second-tier university."

The voice belonged to Ai Yonghuan, the class's academic representative.

However, Chen Yang has never liked this guy.

Although his grades were decent, he was rather arrogant and spoke rudely.

It wasn't just Chen Yang who disliked him; many people in the class disliked him.

in memory.

It seems that I have a minor conflict with Ai Yonghuan.

"Hey Ai Yonghuan, what business is it of yours if Chen Yang goes to an internet cafe? Just focus on your studies, why are you worrying so much?"

Chen Yang didn't say anything, but Zhang Lin glared at Ai Yonghuan.

Ai Yonghuan said unhappily, "Zhang Lin, it's fine if you give up your studies, but don't drag Chen Yang down with you."

"Get out of here..."

Zhang Lin was about to retaliate.

Chen Yang patted Zhang Lin on the shoulder: "Never mind."

Then he glanced at Ai Yonghuan and said, "Thank you for your concern, our class's academic representative."

"Look, Zhang Lin, Chen Yang is still more enlightened."

After retorting to Zhang Lin, Ai Yonghuan turned her head away.

"Chen Yang, that's not right. You usually argue with Ai Yonghuan all the time."

Seeing that Chen Yang remained calm, Zhang Lin asked in confusion.

"I don't have the energy to argue with him."

"Too."

Zhang Lin nodded, but after looking at Chen Yang, he added, "Well, I think you really shouldn't go to internet cafes lately."

"How do you go?"

"Didn't Ai Yonghuan say that I gave up on studying? You're still pretty good. With a little effort, getting into a second-tier university shouldn't be a problem. No, you used to do quite well on exams. With a little effort, see if you can get into a first-tier university."

"I'll think about it later. But I do think it would be a shame to give up now that there's still a year until the college entrance exam?"

"Brother, I don't want to give up either. Look, I usually only get around 200 points on tests. Do you think I can get 500 points if I try harder?"

"Let's try our best and see if we can get a score of over 400."

"400+ is still a vocational college degree."

"It's better than 200 points."

"Can't you get into a vocational college with a score of just over 200?"

"That makes sense."

Ok.

That's how it is in Jiangxi Province.

Even if you score over 400 points, you can only go to a vocational college.

I need to get a bachelor's degree.

A score of 500 or above is required for a regular second-tier university.

……

"Huh, this book has over 800 favorites?"

Qidian editor Gu Yue stared at the backend.

Looking at this book called "I Come From Billions of Light Years".

He is currently being ranked for recommendation.

This is his job.

When he's ranking books for recommendation, he usually looks at the data for new books in addition to reading them.

However, new books generally don't perform well if they aren't featured on recommendation lists.

Most of the time, the number of favorites is around 100. Those that perform well might have a little over 200.

But this one really puzzled him.

The book had over 800 favorites in just 5 days after its release.

To know.

This is without recommendations.

Reaching 800 favorites through this kind of organic traffic is a feat that only top-tier creators possess.

Of course, this doesn't mean that the new books by those top authors will be instant hits.

The main reason is that the expert has a loyal fan base.

As soon as they publish a book, die-hard fans come to collect it.

But for new authors, that's completely impossible.

first timing.

He suspected that the book's data was inflated.

However, after looking at the backend data stream, he found that the data increase was very even, and it did not seem like it was being manipulated.

Strangely enough, he started reading the book again.

"Wow, this book is great!"

This is different from the first time I read this book.

The first time Gu Yue looked at this book, she only glanced at it, for about ten seconds.

Don't doubt his professionalism.

For editors.

With just a quick glance, he can get a general idea of ​​how well you've written.

Are you a beginner or a veteran?

Whether you can write or not is obvious at a glance.

At the time, he was very busy, so he just thought the book was okay and signed it.

But after carefully examining the work, he discovered that this new book was more than just good.

……

"Brother Buyang, why aren't you replying to my messages?"

"I'm sorry, I don't have internet at home. I can only access the internet at internet cafes."

"It's nothing. Have you recommended your new book yet?"

"Here comes Fenqiang."

"Damn, other people's new book recommendations are usually text-based, but your new book is directly featured and strongly recommended?"

"Just some luck."

"You're being modest. I was thinking, you're not some big shot, are you?"

"What big shot?"

Chen Yang shook his head: "I'm a newbie, okay?"

"Okay, I think your book is very well written. It's quite different from the current mainstream urban fantasy genre. It's very enjoyable to read, and I've become a fan."

"Thanks, please subscribe when it's released."

"That is required."

After chatting with Dangdang for a while, Chen Yang went offline.

He can only go online for about half an hour a day now, sometimes just ten minutes or so, to update a chapter.

Moreover, they always sneak into internet cafes.

The main issue is that they are giving extra lessons. The school has always been critical of students going to places like internet cafes.

Sometimes, in order to stop students from going online, the school will send people to various internet cafes to arrest them.

"Thirty-two, come and take a look at this book."

After Chen Yang went offline, Dangdang asked about another author, "Thirty-Two," in the group chat.

Thirty-two is a veteran author and a well-known author on Qidian.com.

He chose this pen name because he started writing online novels when he was 32 years old.

"Am I from billions of light-years away?"

"Yes, you've seen it?"

"No, I think the title is quite good, very creative."

“I think so too. Moreover, I think his creativity extends beyond just the title; the text itself is even better.”

"Yeah, let me take a look."

The link was sent by Dangdang at 32:00.

It’s better not to look at it.

one look.

Thirty-two fell silent.

He turned around and looked at his new book again.

immediately.

He chose to delete with one click.

After a while.

Dangdang sent another message to Thirty-Two: "How's it going? How's the writing?"

"Cough cough..."

"how?"

"I'll be releasing a book in a while."

"why?"

"Compared to Bu Yang's 'I Come From Billions of Light Years,' I think my new book is a pile of shit."

"..."

Thirty-two said helplessly.
