Chapter 71 071 New Reader Ranking Rises
Chapter 71
The moment he saw the skull on the Thousand Buddha Scarf, Shi Juan's heart almost jumped into his throat.
He knew that this night party would not be able to pass peacefully, but the direction of the story still aroused his curiosity.
Who did it?
Shi Juan thought about it carefully and only knew that Xipin had cheated Shen Fangyi. However, it would be very difficult for Shen Fangyi to reach out to Xipin without anyone noticing.
But Xipin was finished now.
At a night banquet, with all kinds of people around, the first person to fall was Concubine Xi.
Teriyaki Chicken Legs has played villains in both "Infinite World" and "Cooking Food". The character of Xibin can be considered a high-level villain in the first two articles. Not only is she difficult to deal with, she doesn't even have any clear shortcomings.
Although she had not yet reached the position of concubine, she had a place in the emperor's heart, which was the key to her regaining favor.
As for other concubines, some lived in seclusion due to old age, while others were forgotten by the emperor after being favored once or twice because they were boring. Xipin had a strong presence.
"Princess Xi felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar. Her usually calm and composed face was now tinged with fear. She glanced around and saw Shen Fangyi, who was very far away from the main seat. Shen Fangyi had a smile on her face. When her eyes met, Concubine Xi clearly saw Shen Fangyi's red lips slightly parted, and she uttered four words - Sister, farewell."
"How on earth did she do that?"
"Countless thoughts flashed through Xipin's mind, but reality did not allow her to think too much. The thousand-buddha scarf had been thrown into the fire by Eunuch Xia. Xipin wanted to explain, but once the thousand-buddha scarf disappeared, no one would listen to her explanation."
"Besides, she could clearly see the anger in the emperor's eyes. The queen mother's face was also dark. Xipin even heard the queen yelling 'queen mother'."
"Lock up this slave girl. I want to see what her real intentions are!"
"She entered the palace at the age of fifteen and was content with a simple life. Even if she was suppressed and humiliated by the imperial concubine, she could bear it. Her birth destined her to be unable to be arrogant and domineering. She only wanted to earn a good reputation for her family and parents. When she was old, the emperor took pity on her for the years of companionship and gave her the title of virtuous concubine. She would be content with her life."
"She has been in the palace for more than ten years, but she never thought that at the end of her life, she would only be called a "slave"."
…
"My lady, Concubine Xi has passed away."
"Where's the moon pattern?" Shen Fangyi took down the wick. Without Xipin, the lights in Chuxiu Palace seemed to be much brighter than before."
"I don't know if Yue Wen missed Concubine Xi or something else, but she kept saying it wasn't me and fainted. I'm afraid... she doesn't have much time left."
"After all, she and I are master and servant. Ask someone to go and see her. Don't be reluctant to use medicine. Ask the imperial physician to take a closer look."
"After the maid left, Shen Fangyi opened her palms. They were still a pair of precious hands, but she knew that she was different from before."
"The golden thread was woven by the Hufu embroidery ladies. The thread used was locally produced and dyed with golden thread grass. The candles prepared for the Queen Mother's celebration were made of camellia oil, which the golden thread grass would turn pale with."
"The two embroidery threads appear to be the same color, but in fact..."
Shi Juan: “…”
Other readers: “…”
[Really, after watching this scene, I really feel like I have a pig brain! ]
[…Ahhhh, this is so exciting! Oh my god, how did…how did you come up with this? ]
[If the author didn’t spoil the plot for me, I would not be able to sleep all night because of thinking about the plot. Now the author has spoiled the plot for me, and I still can’t sleep!!!]
[+1+1, although I guessed that Xipin would be offline, I didn't expect it to be this way. My god, the palace fighting is really exciting, with swords and sabers everywhere. ]
The release of "Palace Concubine" went smoothly, but the plot of Concubine Xi's death sparked heated discussions. Shi Juan clearly remembered that when he started reading the latest chapter of "Palace Concubine", the number of comments started with 3, but now it has started with 4.
Most readers were as shocked as he was.
Open the forum, half of the posts on the front page are discussing the latest chapter of "Palace Concubine"——
[Have you read "Palace Concubine"? The latest chapter! If you don't shout "WTF" after reading it, I'll kneel down! ]
【After watching "Palace Concubine", you will know what it means to kill without shedding blood. 】
[Exciting! So exciting! Ahhhh, the writing style of "Palace Concubine" is much more plain than "Infinite World", but in my heart, it is really exciting! ]
[None of the women in this palace are easy to deal with. They are terrifying.]
[Go watch "Palace Concubine", highly recommended! ! ]
Readers who opened the forum were equally shocked.
Clearly, not long ago, someone expressed his “disappointment” with “The Concubine”, but now, this group of people are actually promoting “The Concubine”.
The death of Concubine Xi can be said to be a new climax of the serialization of "Palace Concubine" so far.
Before this, readers have witnessed the death of Qi Yun and Shen Fangyi losing her child. These two plots happened suddenly and the foreshadowing was not long enough. The character of Xibin is the first real villain in "Palace Concubine". She is a stumbling block on the road to the heroine's rise.
Xibin has a complete background and detailed plot portrayal. Readers all know that she is a difficult character and have also thought about how she will end.
But the plot at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet was still surprising.
It’s so… bizarre.
No one thought of it.
It wasn't poisoning, it wasn't intentional pushing, nor was it Shen Fangyi standing up to accuse Xipin of causing her to lose her child. Instead, it was a method that no one knew about that caused Xipin to lose her life invisibly.
Although Concubine Xi was smart and alert enough, she still fell into the trap and was completely caught off guard.
[Oh my god, the palace is so scary, the king is so scary. ]
…
The early performance of "Palace Concubine" was not as good as that of "Infinite World", and Lin Shu was mentally prepared for the lower profits. Sure enough, his backstage income was only about 60% of that of "Infinite World".
Before Lin Shu felt anything, Cheese Bean came to comfort him: "Legs~ This result is already very good, don't feel pressured!"
Lin Shu: “…I don’t feel any pressure.”
The next day, the gold list rankings were released, and "Palace Concubine" made it into the top 200 of the gold list, but its initial ranking was much worse than "Infinite World", ranking 108th.
[Sure enough, even if it’s Teriyaki chicken legs, writing about ancient themes shows signs of failure. ]
The person who posted the message originally thought that his idea would attract a lot of response. After all, the ranking of "Palace Concubine" on the first day was indeed average, which was a big setback since Teriyaki Chicken Leg was written.
However, the reply he received was -
[Looking at so many posts on the front page, do you really think "Palace Concubine" will flop? ]
[Half of the discussion is about "Palace Concubine". This article will definitely go viral.]
[I read it today because of the recommendation from the forum. The paid chapters are super exciting. You will definitely regret it if you don’t read it! ]
[Let’s talk about this topic again tomorrow. As we all know, discussing the subscription of Teriyaki Chicken Legs too early will lead to being slapped in the face. Knicks Entertainment has rich experience in this regard.]
And sure enough, the next day, "Palace Concubine" climbed from 108th on the gold list to 54th, a full rise of 54 places. In the history of online literature, such a rapid climb in ranking is rare.
Of course, compared with "Infinite World", this result is still not outstanding. The number of words in "Palace Concubine" is even more.
It’s just that “Infinite World” is a recognized hit, while “Palace Concubine” is an ancient theme, and its acceptance by readers is not as high as that of “Infinite World”.
The paid chapter of "Palace Concubine" is indeed very exciting, but the paid chapter of "Infinite World" is also not bad.
[Isn't Teriyaki Chicken Legs too good? The ranking of "Palace Concubine" is actually poor among his works. Other authors should be happy if they can achieve such a result, right? ]
[I must remind you that if "Palace Concubine" can climb to 26th place, it will create history in the online literature section for ancient themes. ]
[The palace fighting is so exciting and fun to watch. I didn’t expect the harem of a monarchy to be so exciting! ]
Readers speculate that with the current trend of "Palace Concubine", it will not be a problem for it to break into the top 20 and create a record for ancient themes. If it continues to climb higher, "Palace Concubine" will definitely be in the top ten of the gold list, and fifth place on the gold list is not completely hopeless.
However, whether one can make it into the top three or even first place on the gold list remains a mystery.
New themes always face too many challenges.
What's more, it is difficult for "Palace Concubine" to continue to create hot spots like "Infinite World".
The ranking of "Palace Concubine" on the third day confirmed the readers' predictions - on the third day, "Palace Concubine" climbed to 36th place.
On the fourth day, ranked 27th, the speed of climbing the list has slowed down.
But at this time, "Palace Concubine" had already created a record for ancient themes.
Day 5, 20 people.
Day 6, 15 people.
Day 7, 2nd place.
【？ ？ ？ ？ 】
[…No, is there something wrong with this ranking? ? ?]
[Wasn't he ranked 15th yesterday? How did he suddenly jump to second place overnight? ! ! ]
According to the normal upward curve, it would be normal for "Palace Concubine" to enter the top ten of the gold list after being on the shelves for a week. But even if it is in the top ten of the gold list, the ranking of "Palace Concubine" should be a little lower. How come it suddenly rose to the top?
[Engraving entertainment cheating? ]
[Is Sculpture Entertainment crazy? Even if they cheated, they should have increased their rankings a little bit every day. Why did they cheat so much on the last day and make everyone suspicious? Besides, there is no need for Sculpture Entertainment to cheat. The detection mechanism is so strict, and they will be fined if they are caught.]
[Is it because MSK has made an effort? ]
[Probably not. ]
[…Teriyaki Chicken Leg is a great player now, so there’s no need to make things so ugly just for the sake of ranking on the gold list, right?]
[…It seems that someone asked the official, and the platform said that the reader subscription of Li Enxing IP has skyrocketed.]
【? What's going on? I heard that Teriyaki Chicken Legs is no longer on Lien Star? 】
[The surge in subscriptions means that it has reached 5% of the total population of Lien Star. ]
【？ ？ ？ ？ ？ ？ ？】
As we all know, the proportion of online literature audiences in the current population of the Blue Galaxy is not high. Specifically, if we look at a certain planet, about 1% of the residents on each planet are reading online literature.
Li En Star is currently the planet with the least population in the Blue Galaxy, but 5% of Li En Star’s total population also means that Teriyaki Chicken Legs has gained readers from at least one planet overnight.
[Isn’t this too outrageous? ]
【Brush? ! ! 】
[If the rankings are really manipulated, this should be the biggest scandal since the establishment of the online literature section, right? ]
However, before the readers' anger reached its peak, some readers of Li Enxing's IP took the initiative to explain:
[Um...we are from the neighboring Abyss Galaxy.]
[I heard there is an article about the secret history of the palace here, so we came here to take a look. After all... we also have an emperor. ]
Readers: “…”
Sure enough, teriyaki chicken legs will attract readers from all corners of the world.
This time he even attracted aliens!!!
