Song Fan and Zhang Xu entered the industry at about the same time, but Song Fan was much luckier than Zhang Xu, and his first book achieved good results.
When Zhang Xu published his new book, he asked Song Fan to recommend it in the book. Even so, Zhang Xu was cheated by Song Fan several times.
Would he be so generous as to promote a novel by an unknown writer?
Zhang Xu thought he knew Zhang Xu very well, but he was not that kind of person.
I don’t know what kind of magic potion the author of “Ghost Lighting the Lamp” has fed to his friend.
When Zhang Xu saw Song Fan say that his new book's ranking would drop, he became anxious.
At this moment, I didn't care about my friend's sarcasm and quickly clicked on Qidian.com.
Zhang Xu's new book was just published this week. Although it only has 30,000 words, it has a good readership because of the foundation laid by his previous books. It reached the eighth place within a few days of its publication.
But when he saw it this time, Zhang Xu was stunned.
When Song Fan checked the books two days ago, he found that the book "Ghost Lighting the Lamp" was not on the list.
Impossible, he must have seen it wrong.
Zhang Xu rubbed his eyes in disbelief. Even if Zhang Xu rubbed his eyes blind, the ranking would not suddenly go up.
Song Fan was not in a hurry when he saw that Zhang Xu had not replied for a long time. He thought with schadenfreude that this guy must be shocked, so he should let him digest it himself.
After a while, Song Fan sent a message: "How is it? Believe it, isn't it awesome?"
Zhang Xu: “…”
Zhang Xu has become autistic.
After coming back to his senses, Zhang Xu stopped typing. He was really curious about which big shot wrote this book under a pseudonym. The more he got into writing, the more he knew how great the book's achievements were.
A tomb-raiding novel?! This is about to become a new genre.
After asking around, Zhang Xu finally confirmed one thing.
The book "Ghost Lights Up the Lamp" is not a pseudonym of a big shot. The author is actually a newcomer!
A newcomer could finish his own novel so easily and without any suspense?! And this was even when the number of words in his novel was even less than mine.
Based on this popularity, no one in the industry would think that this book would not be a hit.
This book does not contain any such things as opening high and closing low.
Zhang Xu sat in front of the computer and couldn't help muttering, "Looks like Qidian is going to produce another big shot."
Ningxia typed the last word and published the second chapter before the end of evening self-study.
I rubbed my aching wrist and just as I was about to get off the plane, I received a message from the editor.
[Jam Bun]: "I'm curious, why is your novel chapter always a thousand words shorter than others? Is it just a habit?"
Zhuang Yuan initially thought that this was just Ningxia's personal habit. After all, the novel had not been put on the shelves yet. At worst, he could change it to 3,000 words per chapter after it was put on the shelves. However, he found that readers had been complaining in the comment section these two days.
Ningxia was confused by the question. If a chapter is not 2,000 words, how could it be 5,000 words?
etc,
Ningxia then remembered that this was a parallel world, not the original Earth.
As soon as Ningxia opened the novel, she found that the comments below the novel "Ghost Lights the Lamp" were all readers complaining about how short it was, which made Ningxia laugh and cry.
What can I do?
[Being a Landlady]: "I thought everyone's chapters were 2,000 words each, so..."
[Be a Landlady]: "I'll make up the word count today."
Zhuang Yuan: “…”
What else can he say?
[Jam Bun]: "How much did you write today?"
Ningxia has no nonsense,
[Be a Landlady]: "A little over 8,000 words. I saved 2,000 words for the draft, and the rest has been published."
Zhuang Yuan: “…”
When Zhuang Yuan saw the number eight thousand, he thought he had seen it wrong.
Until now, Zhuang Yuan still didn't know that Ningxia only wrote for two or three hours a day, so he was not surprised at all that Ningxia posted two chapters a day.
But today is different. Zhuang Yuan knew that Ningxia only started typing around six o'clock in the afternoon. Even if he started typing as soon as he went online, it has only been a little over two hours so far.
Eight thousand words, what a concept!
Writing a novel isn't just typing; it requires conceiving details and thinking, so this speed...
unless……
There is only one possibility, that is, Ningxia had already conceived the details of the story of "Ghost Lighting the Lamp" in his mind.
Otherwise, how could I write so smoothly?
Zhuang Yuan has been an editor for so long, and he has seen many authors who can only write 2,000 words a day. They are all stuck in writing.
Although the authors' speed has increased significantly since the website started charging, they still can't write 8,000 words in two hours!
What a monster I signed.
[Jam Bun]: "Eight thousand words? Does that include the saved drafts?"
As soon as the message was sent out, Zhuang Yuan realized it and asked himself a stupid question.
Zhuang Yuan slapped himself in frustration and quickly tried to make amends.
[Jam Bun]: "You coded this in two hours?!!"
Ningxia felt that her editor was stupid, [Being a Landlady]: "Is there a problem?"
Of course there is a problem.
And the problem is big.
At this time, Zhuang Yuan typed with such force that he almost poked the key in half.
[Jam Bun]: "At your current rate, let's say you can write 2,800 words an hour, eight hours a day, that means you can write at least 22,000 words a day!"
"Don't tell me you only write for two hours every day!"
[Be a landlady]: "Yes."
[Jam Bun]: “…”
Seeing Ningxia's certainty, Zhuang Yuan immediately went crazy.
[Jam Bun]: "No, my goodness, there are so many readers clamoring for updates every day, driving them crazy. Can't you see?"
