I'm a sophomore in college, what the heck is this "male god cultivation system"?

Chapter 16: 100,000 words updated daily
With 99% of authors unable to even manage 10,000 words a day, writing 100,000 words a day is undoubtedly a bolt from the blue.

Soon, Chen Yan saw readers' reviews of his book in various book clubs.

Holy crap, 100,000 words a day?! Is this even human?!

At first I thought each chapter was 2,000 words, but when I clicked in, they were all 10,000-word chapters. Amazing.

[I was originally planning to let it rest for another two months, but the author is updating 100,000 words a day, so what am I going to say? Let's just start reading!]

I suspect this book was completed before it was released.

Less than two hours later, Chen Yan received a message from the editor.

[Editor Shimizu: (Surprised, jpg)]

[Editor Shimizu: Dude, with you updating so fast, can you even keep up with your backlog of chapters?]

Chen Yan didn't say much, but simply took a picture of the manuscript catalog and sent it to the editor.

In terms of drafts, Chen Yan has an abundance. To paraphrase a line from "Bright Sword," he has "never had such a rich draft in his life."

With a writing speed five times faster, Chen Yan ensured at least 50,000 words of updates every day during the forty-day new book period. When the book was released, he already had 1.3 million words in reserve, making it more than enough to write more chapters at once.

After a while.

[Editor Shimizu: (Thumbs up, jpg)]

[Editor Shimizu: When did you write this book? The word count is enough to complete several novellas.]

Chen Yan: (laughs, jpg)

[Chen Yan: While I was still writing my previous book, I would occasionally write about this one.]

[Editor Shimizu: That's good. Keep it up. I estimate we'll reach 10,000 subscribers in less than a month.]

……

Although the editor predicted that Chen Yan would reach 10,000 subscriptions within a month, judging from the subsequent developments, this view was undoubtedly much conservative.

On the fifth day after its release, which was the first day of August, Chen Yan's new book successfully surpassed 10,000 subscriptions, and the upward trend continues.

This achievement is not only due to the frequent updates, but also to the anti-piracy measures that Qidian has already implemented.
Even though it was only available for the last five days of July, the 500,000 words of updates, along with income from various channels, still brought Chen Yan a little over 140,000 yuan in royalties.

In addition, with the buff from [Tentacle Monster] that grants an extra 10% of the manuscript fee for every 1000 increase in average subscriptions, Chen Yan can earn an additional 14.

However, the 140,000 in earnings from the system were credited directly to my account, while the remaining 100,000 in royalties would not be credited until the 12th.

……

Badminton court.

"boom."

"boom."

"boom."

The badminton shuttlecock flew back and forth in mid-air, drawing silvery-white arcs.

Chen Yan didn't exert much effort, always maintaining a level where he was slightly better than Tian Jingyi, but not by too much.

Only in this way can a badminton novice maximize their enjoyment. Seeing Tian Jingyi, who was already exhausted from her swings and panting, Chen Yan casually asked, "How are you feeling? Do you need to rest for a while?"

Tian Jingyi, who had been on high alert, nodded repeatedly upon hearing this and said pitifully, "Let's rest for a while."

After saying that, Chen Yan put down his racket, walked to the bench in the rest area, picked up a bottle of mineral water, and gulped it down. In the blink of an eye, three-quarters of the bottle was gone.

Meanwhile, Tian Jingyi sipped her water, glancing at Chen Yan out of the corner of her eye with a strong sense of unease, her eyes full of puzzlement.

'I wasn't this good before.' Tian Jingyi muttered to herself, subconsciously recalling her memories of playing doubles in the school gymnasium.

She remembered clearly that at that time, Zhao Zheng was technically superior to Chen Yan, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to outmaneuver the opponent like a dog in the early stages. Chen Yan's victory was entirely due to his strong stamina, and in the later stages, he directly scored continuously and crushed Zhao Zheng.

Therefore, in Tian Jingyi's opinion, putting aside physical strength, in terms of technique alone, Chen Yan is much stronger than her, but slightly inferior to Zhao Zheng.

However, after experiencing it firsthand these past few days, she began to question how she could have had such thoughts in the first place... Every time she hit the ball with all her might, her opponent could easily return it with a leisurely stroll.

It was as if the opponent had completely figured out his playing style and had achieved near-perfect compatibility with him.

This was a feeling she had never experienced when playing with Zhao Zheng.

Although we don't know exactly how strong Chen Yan is, it's certain that he's far superior to Zhao Zheng.

'How come someone so strong would be in such a sorry state back then?' Tian Jingyi really couldn't understand it. It didn't seem like the other party was just pretending to be weak.

But if Chen Yan wasn't acting at the time, what other explanation could there be?
Could it be that the other party has made such progress in such a short period of time?
When Tian Jingyi glanced at Chen Yan out of the corner of her eye again, Chen Yan caught her red-handed...

"Why are you looking at me?" Chen Yan had noticed Tian Jingyi's unusual behavior a while ago, but he hadn't pointed it out directly. He didn't expect her to be doing it more and more frequently...

"Ah...ah, I'm just a little curious, you weren't this good at basketball when you played in school, were you?"

Realizing she'd been caught peeking, Tian Jingyi stopped pretending and stared straight at Chen Yan, her face full of curiosity.

"Oh, I practiced for a while afterward and discovered that I have quite a talent for badminton," Chen Yan said casually.

However, no matter how Tian Jingyi looked at it, she felt that the other party was just showing off. How could someone be so talented as to make such progress in such a short time?

Thinking of this, Tian Jingyi glanced at Chen Yan again, looking at his clear jawline, and then turned her head away somewhat awkwardly.

'How come his looks have improved by leaps and bounds just like his basketball skills!'

Tian Jingyi was certain that Chen Yan was definitely more handsome now than when they first met at the stadium.

It's not that he was ugly before; in fact, Chen Yan was quite good-looking back then, with a clean and youthful vibe, but there's a significant difference compared to now.

If I had to describe it, he used to be the kind of handsome guy who you had to look closely to find in a crowd, but now he's a super handsome guy who stands out from the crowd and can be found with just a quick glance.

However, what frustrated Tian Jingyi the most was that she couldn't find any reason why Chen Yan had become more handsome... Although his overall appearance had improved, she couldn't find any changes in his facial features, skin, or hairstyle.

Seeing that they had rested enough, Chen Yan casually asked, "Want to continue playing?"

"Mmm." Tian Jingyi nodded repeatedly as if waking from a dream. "Take a taxi, take a taxi."

Chen Yan made an OK sign and then hit a standard high clear.

However, the moment the ball was hit, Chen Yan saw a five or six-year-old girl run onto the court. Judging from their trajectories, Tian Jingyi was clearly going to collide with the little girl.

"Wait a moment……"
