After the college entrance examination, life began to follow one's heart

Chapter 102: Invisible Pretense, Xu Lin Wants to Earn a Million per Month? Liu Longsheng is Emo

Xu Lin did not respond to Ranzhi’s latest message.

How long should I write?

Xu Lin thought that at most he would just look at the feeling, for example, if the tone was still there, that is, the writing could flow smoothly and be completed in one go. It might be at most a few hundred thousand words, but he would not do it if it was more than that. Why don’t you say to make it as long as a certain personal master?
Also, romance novels with a single female protagonist are inherently difficult to write long, unless the author digs deep into the side stories of the various supporting characters, constantly works on the supporting characters, and expands on some plots that have no actual relevance to the male and female protagonists and the main storyline.

But this is not Xu Lin's style.

Xu Lin is currently curious about one question.

He asked Ranzhi, "How many rewards has this book received so far?"

Ranzhi: "Mr. Xu, let me take a look, wait for me!"

A while will pass.

Ranzhi sent a screenshot over.

Total rewards: 1325680.66 yuan.

Xu Lin widened his eyes slightly.

More than 1.3 million?
Ranzhi: "But Mr. Xu is giving a total reward, and the website will take half of it. (Grinning teeth.jpg)"

Ranzhi: "And today, the 28th, the rewards from now until midnight on the 30th have not been calculated yet. According to the momentum of your book, Mr. Xu, there will be a considerable amount of rewards in the next two days. We are also attracting many new readers. We found that many of these readers have become paying users because of your book, and the conversion rate will continue to increase!"

Xu Lin didn't read his message much, just opened the calculator.

1325680.66÷2＝662840.33 yuan!
More than 660,000!
Xu Lin’s current savings is only over 57 yuan, and with the latest payment, it’s more than million yuan!
There are still two days left, and the rewards are still continuing. I don’t know how much they will increase.

"By the way, I almost forgot!"

“Does tax still need to be deducted?”

Xu Lin asked Ranzhi again: "How much tax was deducted?"

Ranzhi: "It's about 0.112, but Mr. Xu will have to pay some taxes next March. You are a high-income earner! grinning.jpg"

Let’s talk about it next year!

Xu Lin calculated again and found that with a tax deduction of 0.112, he would have to deduct more than 7.4 yuan.

"Not bad, I'll get at least 590,000 by then!"

"No harm done!"

Xu Lin, who was already in a good mood, felt even better now.

After finishing the chat with Ranzhi.

Xu Lin was in a good mood. He typed from nine o'clock in the evening to eleven o'clock in the evening. For two whole hours, Xu Lin kept typing on the keyboard. With the surge of inspiration and a very good mood, Xu Lin managed to write 35,000 words.

Xu Lin usually works on outlines and writes novels in the dormitory. Xie Zhengrong and the other three people in the dormitory don’t know about it, and they don’t come over to see what Xu Lin is doing. Moreover, when someone comes over, Xu Lin will quickly switch pages.

Because he doesn't like others seeing him typing.

How fast is the page switching speed?
Xu Lin felt that his speed might be just a little slower than Feike's.

In short, the page changed in a snap.

But tonight, Xu Lin took a long time to type, and he was in a very good mood.

When Liu Longsheng passed by, he took a curious look from a distance.

In Xu Lin's dormitory, there are three people including Liu Longsheng. Although they are all students from key universities and are top students in high school, none of them is nearsighted. Instead, their eyesight is better than each other.

Not to mention Xu Lin. On top of his excellent physique, he also has the most exaggerated eyesight.

Closer to home.

Liu Longsheng took a look from a distance of two meters.

What is Xu Lin doing?
He stared.

Speaking of which, Xu Lin’s writer background is still open, but it is a small page moved to the upper left corner of the screen.

With Liu Longsheng's eyesight, he saw it.

"My Twenty-Six-Year-Old Miss Maybach"?
novel?

Although Liu Longsheng didn't read novels often, he had browsed through them occasionally, and his high school roommates often discussed online novels. He had heard of works like "Fights Break Sphere", "The Great Ruler", "Perfect" and so on.

However, Liu Longsheng has never read it, and he is not interested in online literature. He thinks that although this thing is entertainment and can kill time, it is also a waste of time. How could I, Liu Longsheng, waste time on such meaningless things?
Now, Xu Lin secretly writes online articles?

Liu Longsheng didn't think much about it at first.

But Liu Longsheng changed his mind and wanted to see what Xu Lin wrote.

Instinctively, Liu Longsheng hoped that Xu Lin would write badly, so that he would feel superior.

When Liu Longsheng was in high school, his essays always received high scores and were often used as model essays by Chinese teachers in each class of his grade. He was usually sure to be in the top three when he participated in essay competitions.

Therefore, Liu Longsheng is very confident in his writing style.

I'm going to criticize you harshly!

Writing is the area that I, Liu Longsheng, am good at!
Liu Longsheng wanted to see how Xu Lin wrote it.

With such excitement, Liu Longsheng returned to his seat and opened the browser to search.

Name: My twenty-six-year-old Miss Maybach?

Liu Longsheng entered this line of words in the search box.

Soon various links appeared.

“Let me see which website you wrote this on?”

There were all kinds of random websites on the Internet, and finally Liu Longsheng found the website where Xu Lin wrote the book.

"That's it!"

Liu Longsheng was excited.

"You even have to download software? What a mess!"

"It doesn't matter!"

"Oh! A waste of my data!"

Liu Longsheng finally downloaded the software, opened it, and searched for the book title.

Soon, Xu Lin's book came out.

Book title: "My Twenty-six-Year-Old Miss Maybach"!
What is the title of Gou Ba's book?
Author's name: Mr. Xu.

The surname is Xu, right?

People like Liu Longsheng who don't read online novels are just laymen, so he doesn't understand the performance of Xu Lin's book.

collect?

Five hundred thousand collections today?

So many collections?
Is this data manipulation?

Liu Longsheng understands the current state of the internet. For example, some influencers boast millions or even tens of millions of followers, but how many of them are actually real? A livestream reveals this: many are simply purchased, fake followers. Meanwhile, some influencers with tens of millions of followers might only get a few thousand or tens of thousands of likes on a video. Therefore, follower counts sometimes don't really mean anything.

So in Liu Longsheng's opinion, Xu Lin's collection and traffic are both fake.

Monthly ticket: 7.

What does it mean?
What is a monthly ticket?
Glory Four Stars?

A total of 115 works received this honor?

Liu Longsheng was not interested in these things, and he didn't understand them. After all, he had never been exposed to online literature, so he didn't know the situation of this website.

Comment: Forty thousand?
Forty thousand comments?
Liu Longsheng fell into deep thought.

If you watch short videos, you will know that if a short video has tens of thousands of comments, it may have hundreds of thousands or even millions of likes.

This is no longer an ordinary short video!

"Isn't this a fake comment?"

With this doubt, Liu Longsheng clicked on the comments and started reading.

"Great author, this is such a great piece! Su Geng, I can't sleep at night!"

"My friend is dying, and he wants to see the end of this book. Can the author add more chapters? He also said he won't be able to rest in peace until it reaches three million words!"

"I'm crying my eyes out! This book is definitely the best treasure of the year!"

"The author is going to be deified!"

"It's so well written, I love it so much. Five Silver Alliances are presented to you!"

……

“This is just a post to brush up the comments!”

Liu Longsheng was very suspicious.

Then he tried to speak in the comment section.

"Still need to log in?"

Liu Longsheng then logged into his account and logged in directly through QQ.

He then commented in the comments section: "Why are there only good reviews? Are they just spamming the comments? I didn't expect the author to be this kind of person, haha!"

Liu Longsheng just looked at how others responded to him.

However, he underestimated the readership of Xu Lin's book.

As soon as the comment was posted and refreshed, there were dozens of replies. Some readers were polite, but some directly cursed his ancestors.

"Is your mother still alive?"

"I was fishing for fish, but I got numb!"

"Hey kid, your wife is here with me!"

"Brother, this is a mess. This book is now second on the monthly ticket list, on the verge of number one. And on the sales list, even though it hasn't even hit the shelves yet, it's already number one! The results are obvious to everyone!"

"Hey, stop trying to make a name for yourself online. I'm still short of a cement mixer on my construction site. Come work for me!"

It was filled with insults, and Liu Longsheng couldn't even find any comments that agreed with him. And when he refreshed the page, there were dozens of comments.

Liu Longsheng also quickly refuted, but Xu Lin's readers were too powerful. As the saying goes, two fists cannot beat four hands, not to mention that Xu Lin had a whole group of Thousand-Armed Guanyin on his side.

"Grass!"

After being scolded for more than ten minutes, Liu Longsheng almost exploded with anger.

"What's Gouba?"

Although Liu Longsheng was scolded, he still refused to accept it and did not believe the results of Xu Lin's book. After all, he did not read online literature, so he naturally did not understand the current results and content of Xu Lin's book.

"correct!"

Immediately, Liu Longsheng took a screenshot of the novel details page and sent it to the high school dormitory group.

Liu Longsheng lived in a dormitory with six people and five roommates when he was in high school.

Three of my roommates read a lot of online literature.

"Brothers, is this book a good grade?"

Liu Longsheng has good relationships with his roommates in the dormitory. Now that he is in college, the dormitory group has not become quiet, and they plan to get together during the National Day.

At this point, their dormitory group is still active.

So Liu Longsheng sent out the screenshot, and the dormitory group became even more lively.

"This book is a very popular new book recently!"

"I'm following this too. The author is going to be a god!"

"Are you guys reading this book too? My girlfriend's been following it lately and asked me to read it, but I haven't made the time to do so yet."

"The author of this book is going to be a legend, earning at least a million a month in royalties! Just one book could make him financially independent!"

"Over a million a month?"

Liu Longsheng quickly spoke up: "Is this true? How is this possible?"

Liu Longsheng didn't know much about online literature, and now he couldn't believe it even more.

My roommate explained, "That's for sure. A million isn't even enough. This book is a top-selling title, so this kind of income is normal. Liu Longsheng, put yourself in his shoes and you'll understand. As the industry leader, isn't this kind of income normal? The top people in every field have high incomes; it's inevitable."

"There was an author called Qingluan Fengshang who earned over nine million yuan in royalties per quarter. That translates to a monthly income of three million yuan!"

Liu Longsheng was no longer calm.

Xu Lin earns a million a month just by writing a novel?
What's going on with this horse?
If you earn a million a month, you can buy two high-end e300s in a month, right?

"Brothers, is this true? Don't lie to me!"

Liu Longsheng didn't want to believe it, and for a moment he couldn't accept it. People are just like that. They don't care at all when they see someone else's monthly income online. Besides, what does the wealth of those wealthy tycoons have to do with you or me? It doesn't matter at all. So no one cares how much these strangers earn. It doesn't matter.

but!

It would be very uncomfortable if someone you know suddenly became rich.

The despicable part of human nature is that people despise those who have nothing and hate those who have something. They are afraid that their brothers will suffer, and they are also afraid that their brothers will drive Land Rover.

"Really? Brother, how could I possibly lie to you? Why don't you click on the book club list for this book, in the lower left corner, and see if there are eight Gold Alliance members? One Gold Alliance member earns 100,000, so eight makes 800,000. The website takes half of the commission, which means this author, Mr. Xu, will pocket 400,000 from these eight Gold Alliance members alone when his royalties are paid next month! Even after deducting taxes, that's at least 300,000, right?"

Liu Longsheng clicked on it and saw the eight so-called golden alliances.

Get 400,000?
An e300, right?

Liu Longsheng was shocked to the point of being horrified. He never expected Xu Lin's book to be so exaggerated!

In other words, from now on, he could earn a million a month? Ten million or more a year just by writing novels?
Liu Longsheng couldn't accept it for a moment.

"Liu Longsheng, why are you suddenly asking about this book? Have you read the online article as well?"

"Haha, I remember you never read online novels before."

My roommate is still talking.

Liu Longsheng didn't want to talk anymore. How could he say that this book was written by his roommate?

At this time he opened a certain AI.

Q: Is the book "My Twenty-Six-Year-Old Miss Maybach" really popular?
The answer came quickly: Hello, yes, regarding your question, we analyzed the following data... So on the whole, this book will become a phenomenal work in online literature!

"Grass!"

Liu Longsheng was really broken down, feeling that even the AI ​​had betrayed him.

"I just don't believe it. How can this book be written so fiercely?"

Liu Longsheng, who still couldn't completely accept the fact, finally opened Xu Lin's book and read it with a very critical spirit of disdain.

However, the moment Liu Longsheng clicked on it, he was attracted by the beginning at first sight, and after reading more than half of the chapter, Liu Longsheng could no longer extricate himself.

"Oh shit!"

"What kind of garbage is this?"

Liu Longsheng was not convinced in his heart, but he actually thought the book was well written.

"Rubbish!"

"What a fucking rubbish!"

"Grass!"

"Why is it gone?"

After more than half an hour, Liu Longsheng finished watching it. While he was still not satisfied, he was also completely defeated on the spot.

Later, he fell into a deep sense of regret and guilt and could not extricate himself.

Liu Longsheng felt that he shouldn't have clicked on this book, just like he learned traditional skills from watching movies in junior high school. Feeling guilty, he deleted all the videos and URLs. But after a few days, he couldn't help but search everywhere, and finally began to regret, delete, regret... and so on.

Now, he is obviously unhappy with Xu Lin, but now he is actually obsessed with his work.

I'm rough!

Liu Longsheng's defense was broken directly by emo.

He then went into the bathroom and ran cold water for half an hour, trying to cleanse his mind and soul with the cold water.

But Liu Longsheng still felt that his spirit and soul could not be cleansed, and the cold water was not cold enough!
You know, on such a hot day, taking a cold shower is very refreshing.

Just as he came out of the bathroom and returned to his seat, the moment he turned on his mobile phone, Liu Longsheng saw the update reminder of Xu Lin's book.

It turned out that Xu Lin updated four more chapters more than ten minutes ago.

Ten thousand words!

After a fierce ideological struggle, Liu Longsheng finally couldn't control his hands and opened the book again.

After watching it, Liu Longsheng fell into emo again.

Liu Longsheng looked like he was cheated on tonight and didn't even sing.

Hu Donghai, who was watching an anti-Japanese film, felt strange, because Xu Lin and Xie Zhengrong's beds in the dormitory were on the bathroom side, and Liu Longsheng and Hu Donghai were on the door side. So usually when Liu Longsheng sang, he would sing behind Hu Donghai. Now that the singing had stopped for so long, Hu Donghai was a little uncomfortable for a while.

"Lao Liu, why don't you sing?"

At this time, Liu Longsheng was lying on the bed, motionless, and not playing with his mobile phone.

"I'm going to sleep first."

Liu Longsheng replied weakly and lay there like a corpse.

"Oh, like this."

Hu Donghai didn't think much about it and continued watching his anti-Japanese war movie.

Xu Lin didn't know about Liu Longsheng's situation. After typing, he went into the bathroom to take a shower.

He went to bed before twelve o'clock tonight.

It is worth mentioning that the novel mission has now refreshed new progress.

[Mission: My agreement with Miss Maybach.]

[Progress: Novel release (completed), novel contract (completed), public display (completed), promotion and take-off (completed), invisible show-off (completed)]

"What's with the invisible pretense?"

Xu Lin didn't understand this progress for a while. This was the progress that just appeared, but Xu Lin didn't have any details, so he couldn't understand the situation.

There was nothing to say all night, and time quickly came to the next day.

Today is September 9th, and the day after tomorrow is National Day.

So we will have a holiday after class tomorrow afternoon.

Xu Lin took a look at the holiday notice and found that National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival were consecutive holidays.

It's a seven-day holiday though.

Xu Lin felt it was not bad. After all, when he was in his third year of high school, he only had two and a half days off for National Day and half a day off for Mid-Autumn Festival.

Seven days is a very long vacation.

On the 29th, Lei Haolong and Yu Xinyan both sent him messages.

Yu Xinyan: "Xu Lin, have you bought a ticket home?"

Lei Haolong: "Xu Lin, have you bought your tickets for National Day?"

Xu Lin replied one by one and said he didn’t buy it.

Yu Xinyan immediately said, "Then I'll buy you a ticket! Hehehe!"

Xu Lin: “OK.”

Yu Xinyan: "Tickets for the morning of the 1st!"

Xu Lin: "Then let's go with number 1!"

Yu Xinyan knew Xu Lin's ID card by heart, and in just a few minutes, she bought a ticket for Xu Lin. They had two seats, Xu Lin was on 13F and Yu Xinyan was on 13D. Xu Lin's seat was by the window, which was the best seat, so Yu Xinyan reserved the good seat for Xu Lin.

Then Yu Xinyan took a screenshot and said, "I've bought it! Let's go back together then!"

Xu Lin: "Lei Haolong is here too!"

Yu Xinyan: “Yeah.”

Lei Haolong also wanted to take the same train as Xu Lin. After asking Xu Lin's train number, he also bought a ticket for Xu Lin's train, but in a different carriage.

Lei Haolong: "Done!"

Xu Lin: “OK!”

Lei Haolong added, "Xu Lin, my parents said they'd let you come to my house and visit us someday!"

Xu Lin: "Okay!"

Xu Lin: "Do you want to bring mooncakes?"

Lei Haolong: "Mooncakes? What the hell? Mid-Autumn Festival hasn't even arrived yet!"

Xu Lin: "Mid-Autumn Festival is on the 6th, we can't go there empty-handed!"

(End of this chapter)
