Online literature has been around for 25 years. Some people have divided the development of online literature over the past 25 years into several stages. The first stage is the Stone Age (1998-2000).

In 1998, with the establishment of portal websites, the method of using 36K "modem" dial-up to access the Internet appeared in China. With the advent of the Internet age, online literature also began to take shape on the Internet.

"First Close Contact" and "The Legend of Sun Wukong" are representative works of the Stone Age, the embryonic period of online literature.

The second stage is the Bronze Age (2000-2003).

During the first boom period of online literature creation, "Story of the Wind and Wind", "Tales of the Demonic God" and "Purple River" were all famous works that were popular during this period.

The third stage is the Iron Age (2003-2005).

Works such as "The Mystical Journey", "Zhu Xian", "The Magic Apprentice", "Legend of the Little Soldier", "The Legend of the Heavenly Eagle", "Profanation", "Boiling Blood of the Beast", and "The Strange Hero" were born in this period.

The fourth stage is the [Golden Age (2005-2008)].

"The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Buddha is Tao", "Legend of the Evil God", "The Best Prince", "The Best Butler", "Back to the Ming Dynasty as a Prince", "Joy of Life", "Infinite Horror", "Evil Spirit", "God's Tomb" and other works are representative works of this period.

The fifth stage is the [Wireless Era (2008-2015)].

There was an explosion of works during this period, and there are too many good works to list them all.

The sixth stage is the [Big IP Era (2015 to the future)].

In the 25-year history of the development of online literature, Qidian.com has dominated the industry for 20 years and is the undisputed leader in the industry. No other website can compete with it.

The monthly ticket rankings of Qidian.com are also unique in the industry in terms of value.

Qidian is the place where countless authors dream of gaining enlightenment. If one wants to gain enlightenment at Qidian, the most important indicator is to win the first place in the monthly ticket list at least once.

An author who has never won first place in the monthly ticket list is not qualified to be called a top writer.

Precisely because the monthly ticket list of Qidian is of high value, there has been a fierce battle every month since Qidian created the monthly ticket list. All new and old authors who want to prove themselves have been fighting for the first place in monthly tickets.

In the early years of the competition for the monthly ticket list, those veteran authors were relatively restrained. They all worked hard to write, exchanging updates for monthly tickets. When the performance of the books was not much different, whoever could make a breakthrough would get first place.

The competitive atmosphere at that time was still very good, and the competition between authors was basically a gentleman's competition. No matter how fierce the competition between two books on the monthly ticket list, the authors had a very good relationship in private, and there was a sense of mutual appreciation.

It was not until the wireless era that new gods began to rise up one after another, and some people began to lose their moral principles. The competition for the monthly ticket list was no longer based on frequent updates and canvassing for votes, but on all kinds of tricks.

Especially since Qidian changed the monthly ticket rules, more and more monthly tickets are given as rewards, and the competition for the monthly ticket list has completely become a competition for the rich. Whoever has more sponsors will get first place.

Under this competition mechanism, those veteran masters who once dominated the monthly ticket list began to lose interest and withdrew from the competition one after another.

Of course, there are three main reasons why these veteran masters withdrew from the monthly ticket ranking competition:

First, they have won too many first places in monthly ticket lists in their creative careers. Their pen names have become a golden signboard. Various copyrights can be sold at sky-high prices before a book is uploaded. The ranking on the monthly ticket list is no longer important to them.

Second, with the change in the monthly ticket competition mechanism, self-funded rewards have become the mainstream. In addition, young people have no sense of martial ethics, and veteran masters no longer want to participate in this kind of competition.

Third, the veteran masters have been creating for more than ten years, and their health and energy are not as good as before. Some of them can no longer work hard, and they have started to update their works in a Buddhist way, without the energy to compete for the charts.

The above are the main reasons why those old masters who once stood at the top no longer participate in the monthly ticket competition. Today’s monthly ticket list is dominated by new gods.

Chen Mushan entered the industry in the golden age and became famous in the wireless era. He has won the first place in monthly tickets countless times and has also won the first place in the annual list. He is one of the veteran masters with very strong strength.

However, after entering the era of big IP, he, like other veteran masters, gradually stopped competing for the monthly ticket list.

Last night, he was so happy that he released all the ten chapters he had saved at once, which directly attracted the attention of all the old fans who had been silent for several years. Then, under the organization of the operation officer, everyone started to compete for the monthly ticket list.

After more than ten days of fierce competition, the ranking on the monthly ticket list has become clear. If nothing unexpected happens, there will not be much change until the end of the month.

But with the explosion of Chen Mushan, his works became popular.

In just one night, he rushed from 18th place to 2nd place and pointed his spear at the ** of the 1st place.

As a result, after being calm for a few days, the Qidian monthly ticket list suddenly became turbulent again.

Ranked at No. 1 is a work by a new god, whose name is Zhanshen Zhengdao. He signed the great god contract just last year. Now that this work is performing well, he became interested in it and began to operate it with all his strength to compete for the monthly ticket list.

On the one hand, it is to compete for the title of platinum writer, and on the other hand, it is to sell various copyrights.

At this time, in the core group of Zhanshen Zhengdao, Zhanshen Zhengdao was discussing with several rich fans how to deal with the powerful opponent who was coming with great momentum.

Shen Yiming: "Master Zhanshen, I don't think we need to be nervous. I looked at the book. From the time it was uploaded until yesterday, it was only updated once. I don't know what happy event the author encountered yesterday, so he suddenly exploded. I estimate that from today onwards, the update rhythm will return to the previous level. It should not pose a threat to us."

Open? A: "I agree with this statement. Old masters like Sanchi Hantan have long since laid down their hands. They have made enough money. Now writing is just a hobby for them. They won't work as hard as before."

Imagination in the Heart: "You are wrong. According to the information I received, the operation officer of that book has already spoken in the V group, saying that San Chi Han Tan intends to compete for the monthly ticket list this month. The strength of this veteran god should not be underestimated. He has a lot of die-hard fans. I think we should prepare early."

Slaying Gods and Proving the Way @Imagination in the Heart: "Is there any movement from the local tyrant over there?"

Imagination in the heart @Zhanshenzheng said: "Don't worry about this. The local tyrants over there have long disappeared. Apart from the few silvers that were rewarded last night, the others are just scattered alliance leaders."

Xiao Zhang's father @斩神证道: "At present, we have two ways to deal with it. One is to fight head-on. You post a battle chapter, and those of us who are gold and silver will post it, directly increase the number of votes and knock down the arrogance of the other side. The second is to choose to avoid the limelight for the time being, and then do something stupid to the other side at the end of the month."

The second uncle's father: "If we fight head-on, the outcome is unpredictable, and the losses are huge. After this month, I think we will all be injured and it will take several months to recover. Therefore, I prefer to steal the tower at the end of the month."

Bald Little Dad: "Actually, I think it's more fun to fight head-on. Although it will cause great losses, San Chi Han Tan is one of the most powerful veterans. If we can defeat him head-on, then the pen name of Zhan Shen Da Da will be truly worthy of its name."

Killing the Gods @Guard Little Daddy: "That makes sense. When I entered the industry, those veteran masters were no longer competing for the top spot. I had no chance to compete with them. Now that I finally have the chance, I think a head-on confrontation is the best choice. Anyway, my status in the martial arts world is not as good as theirs, so it's normal to lose, but if I succeed in killing the gods, the rewards will be huge."

The few local tycoon fans in this core group have all read at least two or three books by Zhanshen Zhengdao, and none of their total rewards is lower than that of the Golden Alliance. He was able to sign a contract with a big god last year, and these local tycoon fans gave him a lot of help.

Now, after Zhanshen Zhengdao made his choice, several wealthy people expressed their full support for him.

With confidence in his mind, he started typing excitedly.

…

After her bank deposit successfully exceeded five million, Li Jiamei decisively stepped ashore and said goodbye to the past completely.

The next day, she drove her beloved BMW towards the provincial capital of Guangxi Province. As she was not in a hurry, she found a place to eat and rest for two hours at noon, so when she arrived at the provincial capital of Guangxi Province, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening.

Women are most vulnerable to snack streets. This is Li Jiamei's first time in the provincial capital of Guangxi Province, so she naturally would not miss Zhongshan Road, a snack street that is famous throughout the country.

So, she drove straight there without having dinner yet.

After parking the car, Li Jiamei walked into Zhongshan Road.

The entire snack street is brightly lit, with crowds of people surging in the middle of the road. The stalls on both sides are filled with a wide variety of delicious food, from local delicacies to specialties from all over the country. It can be said that there is everything.

Li Jiamei's eyes lit up as she looked at the food. She wanted to eat this and that. She had only walked less than a hundred meters on this snack street that was less than a kilometer long, but her stomach was about to burst. This was only the food she picked out that was small in portion but that she wanted to eat very much. There were still many other foods that she had not had time to taste.

Li Jiamei touched her full belly with a feeling of unsatisfied feeling and decided to come back tomorrow.

There is no need to say more about booking a room and resting.

The next day, Li Jiamei had the famous local Laoyoufen for breakfast, and then drove to the Xingfu Marriage Agency according to the navigation instructions.

"Hello, beautiful lady, if you are looking for a marriage partner, please fill in the information first."

As soon as she entered the matchmaking agency, a man with burn scars on his face greeted Li Jiamei politely and handed her an information form.

All of Master Jiang's fans knew the identity of the burned man. Li Jiamei naturally knew him. She took the form, glanced at it, and then asked politely, "Hello, Mr. Lan, is Master Jiang here?"

Lan Zhihui smiled and said, "Master Jiang is not here, but you can rest assured, beautiful lady. Even if Master Jiang is not the one who personally matches up the clients of our matchmaking agency, the clients' matches are all selected by Master Jiang himself."

Li Jiamei nodded and said, "I know this, but my situation is a little special, so I want to talk to Master Jiang in person. I wonder where Master Jiang is now? When will he come back?"

Since Lan Zhihui joined the matchmaking agency, he has met some special clients from time to time. He is no longer surprised by this. When he heard Li Jiamei say this, he took out his mobile phone and said, "Wait a moment, beauty. I will make a phone call for you."

"Thank you, Mr. Lan!"

"You're welcome!"

As he was speaking, Lan Zhihui called the big boss Jiang Feng.

As soon as the call was connected, Lan Zhihui asked directly: "Boss, a beautiful customer said her situation is a bit special and she wants to talk to you in person. When will you be back?"

Jiang Feng said, "I will probably be back tomorrow afternoon. Please ask the client to leave a phone number and I will contact her when I get back."

Lan Zhihui said: "Okay, I got it!"

"Well, then hang up!"

"OK!"

After the boss hung up the phone, Lan Zhihui looked at Li Jiamei and said, "Beauty, my boss said he will probably be back tomorrow afternoon. You can leave your phone number and he will contact you when he comes back."

Li Jiamei nodded and said, "Okay, please write down my number."

"Well, you say!"

"1105469020"

"Okay, I'll make a note of that!"

"Then I'll be leaving first. Bye!"

"Well, bye!"

…

Hangzhou City.

Jiang Feng was shopping with his girlfriend.

After arranging for Fang Yun to meet Chen Mushan the day before, he took Pei Ying's ride to Hangzhou the next day, intending to spend two days with his girlfriend before going back.

Men and women in love are very magical. They have endless topics to talk about, want to be together all the time, and can ignore each other's shortcomings and only see each other's good.

Men may not like shopping, but they can spend the whole day shopping with their girlfriends without feeling tired. Women may not be interested in games, but they can enjoy playing them with their boyfriends.

Jiang Feng never liked shopping. If he wanted to buy something, he would go straight to the destination, buy it and leave.

He had once gone shopping with his sister Jiang Xue, and it was truly a torture.

She goes into this store to try on a few pieces of clothing, then goes into that store to try on a few pairs of shoes, then goes back to try on a few bags, and then goes to look at the decorations. On a commercial street, my sister can go from the first store to the last, but she doesn't buy anything.

If it were just that, it would be fine. The key point is that after she finished reading, she went back to each store to look for things to buy...

Anyway, since then, whenever his sister asked him to go shopping, he would try to avoid it.

However, shopping with his girlfriend is a different experience. With his girlfriend holding his arm, they shop here and there, but Jiang Feng is not bored at all and feels that it doesn't matter if they keep shopping.

This made him feel strange. Why did it feel different when shopping with his sister and with his girlfriend?

After strolling for more than two hours, Huang Lingwei was finally satisfied. Seeing that it was already noon, she asked, "Honey, let's go eat. What do you want to eat?"

"I'm fine with that. We'll eat whatever you want."

"Then let's go eat hot pot!"

"Well, let's eat hot pot!"

…

at the same time.

The provincial capital of Guangdong Province.

Xiao Min said to Wang Wenjie excitedly, "Honey, my album has been completed. Both the physical and digital versions can be pre-sold online!"

Wang Wenjie was also happy for his wife when he heard this, and immediately patted his chest and said, "Wife, leave the album promotion to me, I promise to do it beautifully for you."

"Well, thank you, husband!"

"You're welcome. Once you've fulfilled your dream, we'll have a child!"

“Hmm~”
