Start as a top student after transmigrating.

"Did you guys see the original masterpiece?"

"Of course I read it. How can you copy a masterpiece if you don't read it?"

"Hey, how can you call it plagiarism when it's something we scholars do? It's just learning from it."

"I noticed this book when I was browsing the new book charts. It was really amazing. It topped the charts during its new book season, defeating a bunch of big names. I didn't expect it to continue dominating the charts after it was released."

"It's one thing for a new book to be slaughtered, but I didn't expect that even the platinum-level books by top authors on the overall charts couldn't stop it."

"The fighting spirit is terrifying."

This is the most discussed topic among many authors. Regardless of whether they have read Battle Through the Heavens or follow it, they are all shocked by the sales data.

They proclaimed the new king's ascension to the throne.

This was followed by intense curiosity.

"Which extraterrestrial demon went to the starting point to prove its Dao?"

"I heard he's a newcomer."

"A newcomer? Don't be ridiculous. Even the most talented newcomers usually only start to shine in the mid-to-late stages. To think they can dominate the charts from the very beginning is just a joke."

"Who could possibly have such skill?"

"I didn't believe it at first either, but the news came from Shidian. I have a friend who works at Shidian. They said their editors have confirmed that the author of Doupo is a complete newcomer and a student."

"Hiss~"

In an instant, countless authors were filled with fear.

If you were to say that it was an extraterrestrial demon going to the starting point to prove its Dao, or that some great god changed his identity, people could still accept such terrifying achievements.

But how shocking it is that a newcomer, with his fighting spirit, can overturn the altar and attempt to ascend to the top.

At first, some people didn't believe it, thinking it was just excessive publicity to spread influence, but as the author from the starting point kept sending messages to confirm it.

All that remained was awe.

And there's also extreme curiosity.

Who exactly is this expert in Dou Qi?

However, there is no answer to this question. Not to mention external sites, even the author of this site cannot find the answer.

"Boss, who exactly is this Young Master Yan?"

"The authors from the San Da area, huh?"

"I asked, but San Da refused to reveal anything."

"Don't ask anymore. I'm just writing a book on San Da's platform. Yan Shao isn't even in our author group. He's acting too mysteriously."

For a time, the pseudonym Yan Shaoyou seemed to reveal a veil of mystery, and countless authors wanted to know his true identity. Many even discovered the book club and rushed to subscribe and join.

As a result, they were all chased and received in the wind and waves, and could not get in touch with Chen Dong at all.

However, it cannot be denied that this wave has brought considerable popularity to Battle Through the Heavens.

At 4 PM, Doupo's first subscription successfully surpassed 10,000, breaking the record set by Shidian. Shidian even sent a congratulatory message, and various splash screen recommendations were given profusely.

"Holy crap, it actually broke 10,000 first-day subscriptions."

"This should be the first book on Shidian to break 10,000 initial subscriptions."

"To be precise, this is not just the starting point, but a record for the entire online literature industry. I hereby declare that the biggest dark horse hit of the year has been born."

"It's only four o'clock now, and there are still eight hours until the first subscription period ends. Given the current level of attention Doupo is getting, and the operational efforts of Shidian, I'd guess Doupo's first subscription will reach 15,000."

"15,000 is terrifying. I'd be lucky if it reached 12,000."

"Don't underestimate the influence of first-day subscription records. For the first masterpiece to break 10,000 first-day subscriptions, Qidian will definitely not miss this opportunity to crush its competitors. It will definitely operate and recommend it to the extreme to maximize the record."

"The first subscription exceeding 10,000 is already a milestone. As long as Battle Through the Heavens doesn't collapse, it will inevitably break various records and create multiple milestones, becoming a masterpiece in the online literature world."

"It's hard to believe this is the work of a newcomer."

Is this a newcomer?

This is god!

The entire online literature community expressed similar sentiments, with everyone, from struggling authors to established masters and top-tier platinum-level writers, having to acknowledge the terrifying success of "Battle Through the Heavens."

……

Countless people are paying attention to the results of Battle Through the Heavens.

Watch its monthly subscriptions slowly increase, watch its first-time orders keep rising, watch it rise from the ground up, watch it create miracles.

By 8 p.m., Battle Through the Heavens had finally broken through the obstacles ahead and topped the monthly ticket rankings. Even without a fan base or guaranteed monthly tickets, it still relied on its rapid updates and compelling storyline to reach the top and dominate the competition.

At 10 p.m., the top-selling chart changed hands completely, announcing the ascension of a new king.

Some have roughly estimated that, based on the number of subscriptions, the number of words updated, and today's reward amount, Doupo's daily sales may set a new record high.

2008.02.01.

This day is known in the online literature world as Doupo Day, destined to be a glorious moment for Doupo.

However, Chen Dong did not pay much attention to it.

After returning from Jiang Lina's house, I called the village chief of Fangshan Village and got in touch with Ye Wanwan successfully in about ten minutes.

"Brother Dong."

Ye Wanwan was delighted to receive Chen Dong's call, her bright and radiant smile as beautiful as a gardenia in bloom.

"Have you packed your things? What time are we leaving tomorrow?" Chen Dong asked with a smile.

"Yes, everything's packed. We'll leave first thing tomorrow morning and should arrive in the city around 2 PM." Ye Wanwan was a little excited.

This was something she had never experienced before, being cared for by anyone. In the past, when she was away studying, apart from her grandmother, she was practically irrelevant to the world.

It's different now.

Some people will follow her schedule, and some will be concerned about when she will arrive.

"You set off early this morning and won't arrive until this afternoon. You're not planning to walk out of the village, are you?" Chen Dong seized on the detail in Ye Wanwan's words.

Based on the itinerary of accompanying Ye Wanwan home before the Lunar New Year, although it took a long time, the journey by car would take at most four or five hours, and Ye Wanwan, who never slacks off, would definitely eat very early.

Most likely, people won't want to spend money on transportation on the way out of the village, so walking is their first choice.

As expected, Ye Wanwan fell silent upon hearing this. Her hand gripping the phone tightened slightly, causing her fingers to turn white, but she couldn't utter a single word.

It's like a child who has done something wrong and is caught by their family, not knowing how to react.

"I knew you wouldn't spend money on transportation. You'd rather walk than take a car. You're such a silly girl," Chen Dong said with a helpless smile.

"I, I'm not stupid~" Ye Wanwan stubbornly retorted.

"Hey, so you've learned to talk back, huh?"

"No, no, I just..." Ye Wanwan hurriedly tried to explain.

"Just what? Just don't want me to interfere?" Chen Dong interrupted her.

"No..."

"Not what? Not my business?"

"I...you...Brother Dong, you can take care of me." Ye Wanwan was so anxious that she was almost incoherent. Finally, she gritted her teeth and whispered these words.

Her tone carried a hint of shyness, but it sounded more like a decision.

"That's more like it."

Chen Dong's lips curled up, and he couldn't help but imagine the silly girl's flustered appearance as she tried to explain herself, with a timid and hesitant look on her face.

My mood instantly improved.

It's great to see you tomorrow.

"I'm calling you tonight to tell you not to try to save me money on travel expenses. If you save money, you're wasting time. You can use that time to study and earn more money in the future. You need to learn to invest and not lose big for small gains, understand?" Chen Dong instructed.

"Oh," Ye Wanwan said softly.

"If Jiang Lina hadn't gotten into some trouble, I was planning to come to Fangshan Village to check on her, so don't force me to come, understand?" Chen Dong said.

"No need to trouble Brother Dong so much, I can get to Qingjiang by myself..." Ye Wanwan said hurriedly, afraid that Chen Dongzhen would make a special trip.

"What's the trouble?"

Chen Dong's smile widened as he teased her, "You didn't actually think I came to Fangshan Village just to pick you up and take you back to school, did you?"

"Why do you have such a big face? I just wanted to come see Grandma."

Upon hearing these words, Ye Wanwan's face instantly turned bright red, and she gripped the phone even tighter.

She bit her lip, looking utterly wronged.

"Bad Dong-ge..."

She muttered to herself, "You tease and bully me even on the phone. You're so mean. I missed you so much and was so happy to receive your call."

All you do is bully me.

hum~

"What did you say?"

Chen Dong thought he heard Ye Wanwan say something, but her voice was too soft for him to hear clearly.

"No, nothing..." Ye Wanwan suddenly felt a little guilty, afraid that Chen Dong would hear what she had just said and that she would be bullied again when they got back.

Chen Dong didn't think much of it, but he guessed that Ye Wanwan must look aggrieved after being bullied, and her watery eyes might even be filled with tears.

Just thinking about this scene makes me want to laugh.

But he restrained himself and didn't tease her any further. He simply said softly, "Alright, I'm done teasing you. It's getting late, you should go home now."

"Spend some more time with Grandma, tell her not to worry, that you'll be fine out there, and that we'll go back to see her after our college entrance exams are over."

"And don't try to save me money on travel expenses. If I find out you've run away from the village, I'll teach you a lesson, you hear me?"

Chen Dong's last words were delivered with a hint of ferocity.

In the past, Ye Wanwan might have been afraid of being bullied, but at this moment she just pursed her lips and gently nodded, because she could feel the full concern for her in Chen Dong's words.

"That's settled then. I'll be waiting for you at the station tomorrow at noon."

This was the real purpose of Chen Dong's call, but he left it at the end, hanging up before even giving Ye Wanwan a chance to respond.

On the other end of the line, Ye Wanwan was about to say something when she heard a dial tone. She froze on the spot and didn't put the phone down for a long time.

The blank expression on his face gradually turned into a smile.

After greeting the village chief, I turned on my flashlight and happily returned home.

A kerosene lamp was lit in the main room. Grandma hadn't rested yet and was busy packing Ye Wanwan's luggage.

"Grandma, keep these two pieces of clothing."

When Ye Wanwan saw her grandmother packing clothes, she quickly stepped forward to stop her. The clothes were given to her by Aunt Zeng Ling, and she brought them back specifically for her grandmother.

Winters are cold, and there aren't many warm clothes available. Besides, Grandma gave her everything. In the past, she either had a fire to warm herself or this cotton quilt in the winter.

"Grandma doesn't lack clothes. This one bought for me by Xiao Chen is enough." Grandma smiled and gently patted Ye Wanwan's hand.

But Ye Wanwan was very stubborn; she neither spoke nor let go.

"Okay, okay, I'll keep two."

Grandma knew how stubborn her granddaughter was, and she had no choice but to accept the gifts. Fortunately, there were two more sets, so her granddaughter shouldn't get cold outside, especially with Xiao Chen taking care of her.

"Take these peanuts with you."

Grandma put the clothes aside and carried several bags of peanuts.

"Grandma, I don't want it, you keep it for yourself."

Ye Wanwan shook her head to stop her. Every time she left home, her grandmother would always try to give her all the good things, never thinking about herself.

"What are you thinking about? This is what I prepared for Xiao Chen and the others. Don't you dare steal any," Grandma said with a smile.

Ye Wanwan was suddenly choked, biting her lip and blushing slightly.

Dong-ge teased her like that just now, and now Grandma is teasing her like that too.

Grandma has gone astray.

"Look at you, Grandma has prepared something for you." Grandma smiled even more happily at Ye Wanwan's appearance, but her kind smile seemed to have a deeper meaning.

"And these insoles, bring a pair for each of your friends, and also for Xiao Chen's parents." Grandma put several pairs of hand-embroidered insoles inside.

"Huh, where are the pairs?" Grandma counted and found that there were no pairs left.

She's been embroidering these past few days since she had nothing to do. Her eyesight isn't very good, so she wears reading glasses. Ye Wanwan is very understanding and helps her embroider whenever she has free time.

"Oh, I haven't finished embroidering those two yet. I'll put them in later once I'm done," Ye Wanwan said quickly.

"Alright, alright..." Grandma glanced at Ye Wanwan, her smile becoming increasingly meaningful. How could she not understand the little girl's thoughts? She wondered why the girl had run inside after eating and playing.

"grandmother."

Ye Wanwan lowered her head, her face turning even redder with embarrassment.

"Girl, don't forget what Grandma said."

"Um."

Ye Wanwan understood what her grandmother meant. Her face darkened for a moment, but she smiled and nodded.
