The provincial capital of Guangxi Province.
After leaving the Xingfu Marriage Agency, Li Jiamei drove to the pedestrian street of Chaoyang Square and went shopping.
Apart from engaging in the sex trade in recent years, her other hobbies are no different from those of normal women. She also likes delicious food, shopping, and dressing up.
Now that I've suddenly arrived in a strange city, I naturally have to enjoy myself by sightseeing.
The shopping time passed quickly, and Li Jiamei felt a little hungry. She looked at the time and found that it was already past 1 p.m. She didn't want to go to the restaurant at this time, so she planned to find some special snacks nearby to fill her stomach and find a place to have a good meal in the evening.
In the city center, most snacks are hidden in street corners and alleys. Li Jiamei is experienced and found a snack bar called "Dragon Fat Pig Blood" in just a few minutes.
This snack bar is very small, only a few square meters, with three small tables inside.
At this time, the three small tables were all full of people, and there were several women dressed up in fancy clothes waiting in line, filling the small shop and making it look extremely popular.
Looking at the shop's sign, there is a bowl of steaming 'Dragon Fat Pig Blood' printed on it. The picture looks very tempting and one cannot help but want to buy a bowl to taste it.
After just one look, Li Jiamei decisively went to queue up.
The boss is a mature man in his thirties, with a strong build and a masculine look. With a smile on his face, he keeps asking customers whether they want to add this or that.
This snack is already prepared. It only needs to be paired with pepper, sesame oil, dried chili powder and winter vegetables, and then poured with a spoonful of long-simmered bone soup, and it will be a bowl of extremely delicious "Dragon Fat Pig Blood".
In order to cater to the tastes of different customers, the boss specially prepared minced garlic, chopped green onions, coriander and the like. If the customer wants them, he will add them, otherwise he won’t.
Because it is simple and only takes a dozen seconds to serve a customer, it was soon Li Jiamei's turn.
"Boss, give me some chopped green onions and coriander." Li Jiamei said as she scanned the code to pay.
"Okay, pretty."
The boss responded, then very skillfully added chopped green onions and coriander, and finally poured a spoonful of steaming bone soup on it. It looked really appetizing.
After taking the snack from the boss, Li Jiamei didn't care about anything else, walked to the side with it, and started eating while standing.
Of course, Li Jiamei is not the only one who eats while standing. The customers here can generally be divided into three types: those who come by chance and there are tables available for seating, those who come to take away their food, and those who eat while standing.
They are all small shops in street corners and alleys, and people are not so particular about them. It is still a beautiful sight to see beautiful women standing at the door and eating.
The dragon fat pig blood has a very smooth texture, fresh and spicy taste, and is very appetizing. Li Jiamei praised it in her heart. She really made the right choice for this snack, and the taste did not disappoint her.
After eating a bowl of dragon fat pig blood, Li Jiamei felt full of energy again and continued shopping.
…
On Qidian.com, the monthly ticket list has been really turbulent in the past two days. With the sudden explosion of the veteran god Sanchi Hantan, his fans who had been silent for several years were screaming like chicken blood. In just one night, he jumped from the 18th place in the monthly ticket list to the second place.
He stayed at the second place for a day, and then on the next day, Sanchi Hantan released three new chapters, which finally ignited the enthusiasm of fans. No one on the monthly ticket list could stop this veteran god from showing his prowess.
After seven years, "Three Feet of Cold Pond" once again topped the monthly ticket list.
However, this ascent to the summit was short-lived.
That night, Zhanshen Zhengdao, who had fallen to second place, published a battle chapter titled [Brothers, please accompany me in Zhanshen Zhengdao]. The content of the chapter was extremely passionate, and his goal was not concealed at all. He bluntly stated that he would kill gods and prove the way this month to prove that he, the new god, was not in vain.
As soon as this battle chapter was released, his wealthy fans cooperated and launched a wave of reward frenzy, and for a while, the Gold Alliance and the Silver Alliance were everywhere.
In less than three minutes, Zhanshen Zhengdao once again took the top spot in monthly votes, and surpassed Sanchi Hantan by tens of thousands of votes, showing great strength.
When this single battle chapter was passed on to the book review section and book friend group of Sanchi Hantan, it immediately caused an uproar. All the fans were so angry that they cried out, saying that the other party wanted to kill a god to prove his truth. Although he did not name any names, the whole network knew that the person he wanted to kill was the veteran god Sanchi Hantan.
Some radical fans went straight to the other party’s book review section and started cursing.
The other side's fans were not willing to be outdone. In addition to cursing at the other side in their own camp, many fans also rushed to the other side's book review section to curse.
There are also black fans on both sides who come out to fan the flames and play Infernal Affairs.
For a while, the book review sections on both sides were in chaos, keeping the operations officers on both sides busy.
The popularity of the first and second place in the monthly ticket list was already high, and the fight between the fans of both sides instantly attracted a large number of passers-by to watch, calling their friends and eating the show with excitement on their faces.
While the two sides were in the midst of a commotion, Chen Mushan, one of the parties involved, was having dinner with a beautiful woman and didn't care at all about Zhanshen Zhengdao's provocation.
"Great writer, why has your book review section suddenly become so chaotic? So many people suddenly come out to scold you. What's going on? Have you offended anyone?" Fang Yun couldn't help asking while eating.
Chen Mushan said in surprise: "Mr. Fang, you are still paying attention to my book!"
Fang Yun smiled and said, "In fact, when I was in junior high school, I was also addicted to novels for a while. However, there were no online novels at that time. I only read martial arts novels and romance novels. Later, reading novels affected my studies too much. After my academic performance declined, I dared not read novels anymore.
Later, I was busy with study, work, and other things, and I never picked up the novel again.
Now that I know you as a great writer, I want to see what works you have written. When I looked at your book review section the night before yesterday, it was fine. I don’t know what happened today, but a lot of people came out to scold you. I read some of the comments and it seems that it was fans of another book who came to scold you, so I asked if you offended anyone! "
Chen Mushan was secretly happy when he heard this. Given the other person's status, if he didn't have a good impression of him, he would not have wasted time watching his works and getting to know him in many ways.
"I didn't offend anyone, but competition is inevitable in any industry, and our industry is no exception."
At this point, Chen Mushan took out his mobile phone, skillfully opened the Qidian website, and displayed the monthly ticket list. He handed it to Fang Yun and said, "Boss Fang, this monthly ticket list is the most authoritative list in our industry. Tens of thousands of authors on the entire website participated in the competition. The works that can rank in the top ten are all very good.
Any work that is qualified to be ranked first is qualified to be called the annual hit.
In order to compete for this monthly ticket list, countless authors have racked their brains and even spent millions to get on the list. When I first became famous, I was also a frequent visitor to this monthly ticket list, basically occupying the top three all year round, and occasionally taking the first place.
However, in recent years, I have achieved financial freedom. Writing is now a hobby for me. I no longer work as hard as I did in the first few years after I became famous. Therefore, I will no longer compete for this list. "
Fang Yun took his phone and saw at a glance that his work was ranked second. She understood and said, "I understand. You haven't participated in the ranking competition for a long time. You suddenly appeared in the competition. It must have affected the interests of other authors. That's why you were targeted."
Chen Mushan smiled and said, “Actually, I didn’t intend to compete for the list this month. It was just that I met Mr. Fang the day before yesterday, and I was so happy that I wanted to share it with fellow book lovers, so I sent out all the ten chapters I had saved.
I have been updating one chapter every day for the past few years, but suddenly I updated ten chapters, which made my readers very excited. Then they spontaneously organized themselves to vote for me...
Then, that God-killer published a single chapter on the battle...
The result is what it is now!"
Fang Yun glanced at Chen Mushan. She didn't expect that the incident was caused by her. She said with a smile, "So, the author named Zhan Shen Zheng Dao, he actually wants to take advantage of the opportunity to hype it up?"
Chen Mushan said, "That's a bit like that. After all, he entered the industry late, while I have been famous for many years and have a high status in the industry. He almost named me and said that he wanted to kill me to prove his truth. If he succeeds, his fame will definitely rise to a higher level. If he fails, he won't lose anything. After all, his status in the industry is still quite a distance away from mine."
Fang Yun understood and then asked, "Then how are you going to deal with this?"
Chen Mushan sighed, "At this point, I have no choice but to accept the challenge. After all, the other party has almost named me. If I don't accept the challenge, the fans who have always supported me will be disappointed."
Fang Yun nodded and kept this in mind.
Next, the two stopped talking about books and started talking about other topics.
The meal lasted nearly two hours.
After returning home, Fang Yun began to study the reward function mentioned by Chen Mushan. This function was simple and she understood it after a quick look. She did not recharge immediately, but picked up her phone and made a call.
As soon as the call was connected, Fang Yun asked directly: "Mr. Fan, does your group have a Qidian website?"
Mr. Fan replied, "Yes, Mr. Fang, Qidian is the novel website under our group."
Fang Yun said, "I want to top up some money. I remember that those live streaming platforms offer discounts for large top-ups. I wonder if your Qidian website has any top-up discounts?"
Mr. Fan laughed and said, "Of course there are discounts. The large-amount recharge channel on our platform is 28% off, but that is the discount for other customers. If you want to recharge, Mr. Fang, I will give you the lowest discount of 55%. I wonder if you are satisfied?"
Fang Yun smiled and said, "Satisfied. Thank you, Mr. Fan!"
Mr. Fan said politely, "Mr. Fang, you can take care of our group's business. If anyone wants to thank you, I should thank you. How much do you want to top up?"
"Then charge 1,000 W first, and we'll talk about it later if it's not enough."
"Okay, no problem, I'll call you right away to arrange it, and you can top up in three minutes."
"OK, that's it for now. I'll treat you to a meal another day, Mr. Fan."
The two exchanged a few polite words before hanging up the phone.
Three minutes later, Fang Yun recharged 1 billion points through the large-amount recharge channel. Because of the 55% discount, she only spent 5.5 million yuan in total.
Five and a half million RMB is an astronomical figure for ordinary people, and they can never earn that much money in their lifetime. But for Fang Yun, who is worth billions, this amount of money is just a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of her wealth.
Totally not worth mentioning.
After recharging some coins, Fang Yun took a look at Chen Mushan’s book review section and found that it was still as messy as before, with all kinds of abusive posts flying around, and the operation officer couldn’t delete them all.
Fang Yun snorted, and then started her first reward.
…
A residential area.
Zhanshen Zhengdao was typing in his study room. Perhaps because he was in a good mood, he felt that he was in a particularly good writing state today. Inspiration was pouring in like diabetic mellitus, and line after line of text was typed out.
In less than half an hour, he typed more than 4,000 words, which was incredibly fast.
Just when he was in great shape, a phone call suddenly came in.
If it was an ordinary person's call, he would not answer it. After all, this kind of typing state is rare, just like a monk's enlightenment, which can only be encountered by chance. Once the train of thought is interrupted, it is impossible to enter this typing state again.
But when he glanced at his phone and saw that the person calling him was the operations officer, he had to stop and answer the call.
Because he knew that the operations officer would never call him unless it was something important. At most, he would send him a WeChat message and wait for him to reply when he was free.
And once a phone call is made, it proves that something big has happened.
It turned out that his feeling was not wrong, something really big had happened.
…
Ever since the reward function was launched on Qidian.com, rewards from various wealthy people have broken records again and again.
Initially, it was the alliance leader’s reward, which was also called the floating red reward, because at that time when you rewarded the alliance leader, a red official reward post would pop up.
At that time, whoever could become popular and dominate the social media would be the most popular person at that time.
On a night when there was a battle for monthly tickets, a wealthy fan kept giving out rewards by sending red coins. This process lasted for more than half an hour, and he gave out a total of 20 million Qidian coins, which directly placed the book on the altar.
The next day, even the official Qidian.com put up a banner on its homepage to celebrate this event.
Afterwards, rewards of tens of millions of coins became common, until a wealthy fan gave rewards exceeding 100 million coins, once again breaking the reward history.
The subsequent launch of the Silver Alliance and the Gold Alliance allowed rewards to break records again and again.
In a monthly ticket battle last year, the work that won first place received a total of 500 to 600 million points in rewards that month, once again breaking history. Many authors even asserted that this record may not be broken within five years.
But what no one expected was that the record was broken again before even a year had passed.
This time, the reward record broke through 1 billion points for the first time in history, which shocked everyone.
The entire online literature community of editors, authors, and readers were all excited!
