I found a cell phone from ten years ago.

Chapter 28 My classmate is actually a great writer on the Internet?
Li Xu, Xiao Yu and Yu Enxin played at the skating rink for the entire afternoon and did not leave until the evening.

After leaving the skating rink, Li Xu sent them back to the Normal University.

He walked them all the way to the downstairs of the girls' dormitory, and only turned and left after seeing the two of them enter the dormitory.

After leaving the Normal University, Li Xu did not return to school, but took a taxi to Dacheng Famous Store.

That night, he worked so hard in the Internet cafe that he hardly got any rest and typed all night long.

At around 6 o'clock in the morning, Li Xu paid his bill, logged off the computer, and walked out of the Internet cafe, feeling sleepy and tired.

After taking a taxi back to school, he didn't even bother to wash up and went straight to bed.

I slept until about five in the afternoon.

After waking up, Li Xu felt relaxed. He hadn't slept for such a long time in a long time.

I slept very soundly and didn't have any dreams.

"Brother Xu, are you awake?"

Hearing Xu Haoyang's voice, Li Xu subconsciously looked under the bed and noticed that the dormitory was full of people.

Not only He Weichen, Xu Haoyang, Shen Qiang, Li Guanfu, and Zhao Jiazi were there, but Jiang Yong and others from the next dormitory also came.

In addition, there was a thin boy wearing glasses, but I don’t know who he was.

"What... is going on?" Li Xu asked in surprise when he saw all of them staring at him.

"Did you write "Lord of Mysteries"? "The unknown boy asked impatiently.

Li Xu didn't say anything, but looked at He Weichen and the others with a questioning look.

"This is the Cao Jianfei I told you about. He also writes novels on Qidian.com like you," He Weichen introduced.

Hearing this, Li Xu immediately understood what was going on. These people must have seen his novel.

He nodded to Cao Jianfei and said, "Yes, I wrote it."

"It was really written by you!" Cao Jianfei was surprised and a little bit unbelievable.

"What good will it do me if I lie to you?" Li Xu said, then jumped down from the bed using the ladder.

"You're hiding it so well! Your novel has become so popular online, and you haven't even revealed a single word.

If we hadn't discovered it, would you have continued to hide it?" He Weichen patted Li Xu's arm and said with a smile.

"Yes, Brother Xu, you are so awesome! There are more than 50,000 people reading (collecting) your novel." Xu Haoyang said excitedly.

"Actually, you don't have to hide it like this. It's not a bad thing. People will only be happy for you when they know it." Jiang Yong pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose and said with a smile.

After hearing this, Li Xu just smiled and didn't respond.

Jiang Yong is the disciplinary committee member. Because he has been skipping classes frequently in the past month, this kid has come to him many times to lecture him on "truths".

The implicit meaning of his words was to advise him not to continue being stubborn and that it was not worth it to delay his studies in order to write novels.

"Well, Brother Xu, I see that your novel has more than 30 words. Is it going to be on the shelves soon?" Cao Jianfei asked.

Li Xu nodded at him, "Yes, it will be on sale on November 11st."

"Then you have to work harder! You must seize this opportunity. If you can become a legend with this book, that would be amazing!

"Then I can brag to others that I have a classmate who's a great online writer," Cao Jianfei said with a slightly excited smile.

"What does 'Great God' mean?" Li Guanfu asked curiously.

"The great writers are the most powerful and top-notch online writers. They also earn the highest royalties and can make millions a year," Cao Jianfei explained with envy.

"Brother Xu, is what he said true?" Shen Qiang asked in disbelief.

Not only him, He Weichen, Xu Haoyang, Li Guanfu and others also didn't dare to believe it.

In this day and age, millions of dollars is an astronomical figure for ordinary students like them. They may not be able to earn that much money in their entire lives.

And this is just the annual income of that great author?

Li Xu shook his head slightly. "He's exaggerating a bit. Even among great authors, there aren't many who can earn millions a year. Besides, it's not that easy to become a great author."

"Brother Xu, I believe you can do it! Didn't Shen Ji become a god thanks to his book 'Buddha's Book'? Your book 'Lord of Mysteries' is no worse than 'Buddha's Book'."

Cao Jianfei seems to be more confident than Li Xu himself.

Li Xu looked at him, smiled and said, "Then I'll borrow your good words!"

"Mystery" is the representative work of the future platinum god, and it seems to have created a mysterious genre.

In addition, he also prepared a trick up his sleeve. Li Xu was actually very confident that he could become a legend with just one book, but there was no need to brag about it.

No matter how much you say, it is better to prove it with results.

"How much money can you make if your novel is put on the shelves?" He Weichen asked.

Hearing this, Xu Haoyang, Li Guanfu, Shen Qiang and others once again turned their attention to Li Xu, who was also what they cared about and were most curious about.

Li Xu pretended to hesitate for a moment and said, "This... is hard to say."

"It's hard to say, it's inconvenient to say, or what?"

"There's nothing inconvenient to say, but before a novel is released to the shelves, no matter how popular it is, it's just empty talk. There are too many books that performed well before being released to the shelves, but flopped afterward."

Cao Jianfei interrupted and said, "Brother Xu, you are too modest. Your book collection should be over 60,000. Even if the subscription ratio is 10 to 1, it should be at least 6,000. If you update 6,000 words a day, you can make at least 10,000 or 20,000 a month, not counting rewards and benefits."

Li Xu looked at Cao Jianfei again.

This kid knows quite a lot.

"Ten thousand or twenty thousand?" Xu Haoyang couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Damn, Brother Xu, you're going to get rich!"

Shen Qiang, Li Guanfu, Zhao Jiazi and others also looked at Li Xu with envy.

Cao Jianfei had previously said that Li Xu had the potential to become a great author and earn millions a year, but that was too far away and, in their opinion, too unrealistic.

Ten or twenty thousand a month is actually a lot!
Ten or twenty thousand in this era will be equivalent to thirty or forty thousand in a dozen years. It is a real white-collar worker. Even at a famous university like Ningbo University, which is ranked among the top ten in the country, the starting salary for graduates is only five or six thousand.

Cao Jianfei continued, "Brother Xu, I see you've already been a leader for five or six times. Your book rewards must be close to ten thousand, right?"

"What is a reward?" Shen Qiang asked.

"Rewarding means that readers think your novel is well written, so they spend money to reward you directly. You can get the money without having to wait for it to be put on the shelves." Cao Jianfei explained.

"The reward is only about 10,000 yuan. The platform takes half of it, and I have to pay taxes. The total amount I get is probably only 3,000 or 4,000 yuan, and the money will not arrive in my account until next month," said Li Xu.

"Three or four thousand is not a small amount; most people don't even earn that much in a month.

"It's like I've been writing for a month or two and haven't made a penny. I don't have a contract, so I'm not even eligible to receive rewards. It's so miserable!" Cao Jian said with both envy and helplessness.

"Brother Xu, when the royalties come in, you have to treat us!" Xu Haoyang said with a smile.

Li Xu glanced at him and nodded, "Okay, I'll treat you to pork tenderloin pancakes then."

"You make so much money, and you just treat me to pork tenderloin pancakes?" Xu Haoyang complained.

"Then I'll treat you to pork tenderloin pancakes for a whole semester. Isn't that generous enough?" Li Xu said with a smile.

He Weichen, Shen Qiang, Li Guanfu and others couldn't help but laugh.
