Chapter 235 A Massive Influx of New Users

The once empty comment section of Initial D is now filled with numerous readers.

[From Weike!]

[What a coincidence, I also came from Weike!]

[+2 from Wechat!]

[After reading the first ten chapters for free, I have to say this comic is really good!]

[I never expected such a niche subject could be made into such a beautiful comic! I initially clicked on Qu Yin's recommendation and only glanced at it, but I couldn't stop reading. I finished the free chapters in one go, and since that wasn't enough, I came straight here.]

A breath of fresh air in the world of hardcore comics!

It's rare to see hardcore comics drawn in such an easy-to-understand way! I love it!

[I was so tired of those old-fashioned comics, it's great to change things up! They got me so excited, I almost kicked the chain out of my bike chain while riding today!]

[A really good comic! I've already recommended it to my friends!]

Prometheus and Mistelin were stunned by the endless stream of comments; they had never expected so many people to appear.

"I didn't expect this method to actually work! Are Qu Yin and Qian Jian's promotional power really that strong?"

While the two were looking at each other in bewilderment, the data department of World Snake Library was also dumbfounded. They suddenly saw that the number of downloads of their own APP was growing rapidly, and the number of new registered users was also increasing rapidly. Before they could figure out what was going on, they saw that most of the new users flocked to the comics section and clicked on a comic called "Initial D".

"What's going on? We haven't been running any new user registration campaigns lately."

The data department staff were completely bewildered, having no idea what was going on. However, they vaguely recognized the situation, and after thinking for a while, someone finally exclaimed.

"I remember now! When 'The King's Avatar' was first released, the number of new registrations also surged!"

Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly understood.

Indeed! When "The King's Avatar" was released, Qu Yin helped promote Qian Jian, which attracted a lot of viewers and increased the number of app downloads.

"Judging from the current situation, could it be that a masterpiece has been released in the comics section?"

Everyone felt that this matter could not be delayed, so they immediately reported it to their superiors.

When Gray Snake learned of this, he was stunned. He couldn't care less about continuing to read "The King's Avatar" and immediately got up and rushed to the comics department.

"Prometheus, what's going on here?!"

As soon as Gray Snake entered the door, he started shouting, his voice was very loud.

He was also very puzzled, because the comics department had previously had the worst data in the entire company, and the user data was also very bad. He was even planning to lay off the department after the New Year.

But I never expected this to happen. These two guys must have done something behind my back, otherwise it would be impossible for so many new users to suddenly appear.

Moreover, such a big thing happened, and these two guys didn't even report it to me beforehand. They really don't respect me at all!

The gray snake grew angrier and angrier, deciding that it had to teach the two a lesson no matter what! It would punish them severely by deducting their year-end bonuses!

However, when he entered the room and shouted, he found that no one paid any attention to him. Prometheus and Mistelin were both huddled in front of the computer, their two little heads staring intently at the screen without moving.

Gray Snake frowned and stepped forward: "What are you looking at?"

He walked behind the two of them and stuck his head out to look at the screen.

On the computer screen, there was a comment section for a manga called "Initial D," which was scrolling and refreshing wildly. The number of comments had already reached 99+, but new comments were still appearing.

Gray Snake glanced at the list and found that it was full of unanimous praise and admiration!

The horrifying scene left the gray snake speechless, unable to utter a single word.

He had only ever seen this situation before, when "The King's Avatar" was being updated!

At this moment, Gray Snake seemed to understand something. It turned out that the data in the comics section was growing at a crazy speed because of this comic called "Initial D"!

Whose work is this? How could it have such a terrifying impact?

Could it be that some great comic artist was dragged over by the two of them?

The gray snake was completely baffled. Seeing that the two people in front of him hadn't noticed him at all, he couldn't help but cough loudly.

"Cough cough!"

Prometheus and Mistelne then came to their senses and turned to see the gray serpent.

"Editor-in-Chief?"

Their tone was filled with excitement and joy, showing no regard for Gray Snake's feelings.

Gray Snake said in a low voice, "What have you two done? How come there are suddenly so many new users? And they've all gone to your comics section?"

"Is such that"

Prometheus recounted all that had recently happened.

Upon hearing that the voice was introduced by Qian Jian, Gray Snake was taken aback.

This comic is by Zhiyin, and Zhiyin is an acquaintance of Qianjian.

How are these two people so similar? Both wrote their first book, both were promoted by music composers, and both became instant hits?

Are all the people who play this song this awesome?

This scene is exactly the same as Qianjian's!

"The King's Avatar" has now become a legendary work, so can "Initial D" also achieve the same?

If this book can be as good as "The King's Avatar", wouldn't it be amazing to have two masterpieces published in just one year? Boss Kevin might even think more highly of me!

Thinking of this, Gray Snake's breathing became somewhat rapid, and his tone of voice softened considerably.

"Since this Zhiyin is a friend introduced by Qianjian, and seems to be quite capable, you must keep him in check. If he has any requests, just tell me directly, and try your best to agree to them!"

Upon hearing Gray Serpent's words, Prometheus and Misteline nodded in unison.

In this situation, anyone who doesn't rush to curry favor with them is a complete fool.

"Alright, since this is normal, I'll be going now. You guys keep up the good work! If you can retain even 10% of these new users, your department will be saved!"

Upon hearing this, Prometheus and Mistelne became excited again.

The two were determined to treat Zhiyin as their savior, since the survival of the comics department depended entirely on him!

After the gray serpent left, Prometheus immediately gave the order.

"Quick! Get Initial D to the top spot in our manga section! Mistelin, talk to the publicity department again and see if you can get some promotional resources!"

Chapter 236 Chain Reaction

Her eyes were full of fighting spirit.

"Whether we can turn things around this time depends entirely on this comic book!"

Prometheus had a very clear idea: Zhiyin's drawing skills were not low. As long as the plot was good enough, he could quickly draw a manga. "Initial D" was just the first part. There would definitely be a second, third, and fourth part in the future!

This is just the beginning!

As long as you make Zhiyin feel comfortable and get her to stay, why worry about her comics department not rising to prominence?

And Zhiyin will surely become her trump card, just like Qianjian!

After leaving the comics department, Gray Snake rushed back to his office. He quickly turned on his computer, went to World Snake's comics section, and searched for "Initial D" to read.

He wanted to see what kind of comic book could attract so many people.

He finished reading it quickly, then took a deep breath, couldn't help but chuckle, and shook his head.

"Another niche subject. It seems that Qianjian's friend is indeed very similar to him. Both of them like to take the paths that others are unwilling to take."

"But that's good too. Taking a niche path means less competition. As long as you can hone your work, it's only a matter of time before you become popular."

He thought for a moment and said, "It seems I should give it a push and ask the publicity department to help promote it. After all, if this book really becomes a bestseller, I'll benefit from it too."

While the World Snake Book Library was busy, other publishers also sensed something was amiss.

Because of the previous appearance of Thousand Swords, World Serpent was already in the spotlight, watched by countless people. Not to mention the sudden appearance of so many new users now, it simply couldn't escape their notice.

Comic Party is one of the top companies in the comics industry. Their comic magazine, Comic Party, is popular all over the world. Almost every reader who likes comics has their magazine at home.

After noticing something was wrong with the World Serpent, the Comic Party immediately convened an emergency meeting.

"Now everyone should know what's going on. World Snake has suddenly seen a large number of new users. Tell me, what exactly happened?"

"I just received the latest information that a new comic has suddenly been added to the World Serpent comics section, and all those readers are new users who registered just to read that new comic."

"What new comic? How can it attract so many people? Is it possible? It must be a scam?"

"Could it be a new work released by some great comic artist?"

"Not a big name, but an author named Zhiyin."

"Zhiyin? I've never heard of that name before. Who is he?"

"Who he is is not important. What is important is that he knows Qu Yin and Qian Jian. His comic attracted so many readers because he received recommendations from those two."

Upon hearing this, everyone present gasped, and the temperature in the entire conference room dropped several degrees.

"It's actually Qu Yin and Qian Jian recommending it at the same time? What exactly is Zhi Yin's relationship with these two?"

"Who knows? Anyway, the updates on Weike are still there. You can search for them yourselves."

"Could it be that World Snake went to Qu Yin and asked her to do the promotional ads?"

"Impossible! Qu Yin never accepts advertisements. Many companies have approached Anti-Entropy, wanting Qu Yin to take on commercial orders, but she has been rejected. Let alone a small World Serpent?"

"So it seems these three really do know each other? Are Qu Yi and Qian Jian doing free publicity for Zhiyin?"

"In that case, it seems that this is indeed the only possibility."

The group looked at each other, their faces grim.

The appearance of such a person in the World Snake Library is not a good thing for them. A large number of readers have been attracted away, and their traffic will also be affected.

But there's nothing they can do about it. After all, it's perfectly normal and reasonable for friends to recommend each other, and they can't interfere.

It can only be said that the world of snakes is really lucky. Last time, a thousand swordsmen appeared and wrote a hit novel called "The King's Avatar". Now they have met another one called Zhiyin and wrote "Initial D". It's a perfect start.

The people in the meeting room were silent for a moment, and finally the editor-in-chief of the Comic Party said, "Give me a heads-up and tell all the editors in the company to put down their work and watch 'Initial D' tonight, and then submit a summary!"

"Huh? Why is that?"
