Chapter 20 Unprecedented(1/2)
It was still early, so Fang Nian used the computer in the Internet cafe to start typing.
He hadn't used a computer to code for a while, and it was almost as easy as scrolling on the keyboard. In just 41 minutes, he finished writing two chapters of more than 6,000 words.
After saving the manuscript to the QQ space log, Fang Nian read the message sent by Donggua.
“The subscriptions in the second hour didn’t drop back much, they were a bit fierce.”
After briefly replying to Donggua's message, Fang Nian got off the plane and left the Internet cafe.
Yes.
At present, the first chapter has been subscribed 3780 times...
Fang Nian returned to school with ten minutes left in the fifth period.
The sixth class happened to be mathematics, and Fang Nian, who had originally planned to change his mind, gradually got better at following the teacher's teaching ideas.
It happened to be geometry and mathematics that he didn't understand very well.
There are all kinds of auxiliary lines in a mess, which seems very confusing at first glance.
But after clarifying it, it was not complicated, and Fang Nian found it quite interesting.
During dinner in the evening, Fang Nian looked at the messages sent by Donggua on his mobile phone.
"I just updated 5 chapters for you. The increase in the afternoon has decreased. The current first order is 5,700, which is less than 3,000 from the historical record. If we count 24 hours, it will definitely be broken."
Fang Nian understood the meaning of this sentence.
There is a saying that the first order should only be counted up to 24:00 on the day it is put on the shelves.
Another theory is that it needs to be counted for 24 hours, that is, until 12 noon tomorrow.
But now it means that no matter what, "I Want to Be Rich" is a hit.
Fang Nian replied with a few words: "It's okay, I'm already fine."
Fang Nian doesn't have much desire to break Qidian's existing historical record before 24 o'clock according to what outsiders say.
Originally I just wanted to make some pocket money.
He is very satisfied with his current results, and it is foreseeable that he will receive a considerable amount of royalties next month.
You will have more choices in the future.
Seeing that Fang Nian was so calm, Winter Melon didn't say anything more.
After turning off the lights and lying in bed at night, Fang Nian received the latest news from Donggua.
"Broken! Little Broken Bowl, you broke the historical record held by Qidian!!!!"
“The historical record of Qidian’s first booking will be set at what point, it will be created by you!!!!”
I can feel the excitement of Winter Melon, just the pile of exclamation marks is enough to explain everything.
Before Fang Nian could reply, another new message came through.
"As of this second, the first order has been 8,633, and the average order is around 7,000. The subscriptions for the newly updated five chapters are also increasing rapidly!"
It was such a good advantage in the afternoon, but it took three or four hours to break through the final 3,000-plus.
It's actually a bit difficult.
Looking at the message sent back by Donggua, Fang Nian did a rough calculation and found that based on the current results, the total number of subscriptions was over 100,000.
Fang Nian echoed Dong Gua’s excitement: “The historical record was just broken, is it true?”
"..."
Winter Melon: "Really!"
"If the first order exceeds 10,000 before 24:00 today, there may be unexpected gains."
"It's so late, you should rest first, I have to keep an eye on it! Let's see what the historical record of the starting point will be!"
"..."
Fang Nian: "Okay, I'm so sorry that I can't experience it myself."
Fang Nian did not pay too much attention to the vague meaning revealed in the winter melon news.
If she could tell, Winter Melon would definitely tell her directly. If she couldn't, it would be useless to ask.
"..."
Although his grades were very good, Fang Nian still maintained a normal attitude and started coding.
He had to write as many stories as possible while he was still full of passion for expression.
The desire to create is actually limited within a certain period of time.
Only by accumulating many manuscripts, during the period of sluggishness, can we have the capital to write a word willfully and keep updating until the book is successfully completed.
When time gradually passed to 0:00 on August 19, Fang Nian happened to complete the coding ahead of schedule.
After switching to QQ, I saw messages slowly appearing one after another.
"In less than half a minute, the record of 10,000 bookings on the first day has been reached. It is unimaginable that I will be a witness, spectator and witness of all this."
"Xiaopowan, I have read your manuscript in advance. With your level of creation, your results will definitely break all records along the way."
"I think you may have booked a platinum contract in advance."
"..."
"The final first-time subscription score was 10,169, the total subscriptions were just over 130,000, and the average subscription was about 8,700."
“The average subscription alone can break Qidian’s six-year shelf record, which is amazing!”
"..."
Fang Nian smiled.
I have to admit that the care and intensity that Dong Gua devoted to the book "I Want to Be Rich" far exceeded that of the author himself.
Naturally, excitement will be exceeded.
Seeing such results, Fang Nian intertwined his fingers, slowly moved his knuckles, and silently calculated in his mind that today's approximate income may reach 7,000 yuan.
Such achievements were something that Fang Nian in his previous life could not envy for a long time.
A night of silence.
The next morning, when Fang Nian was busy coding and studying according to his usual habits, a paragraph was moved from the forum to the book review area, and then sent to Fang Nian by Donggua.
"As usual, I opened the web page on my computer and casually scanned the first screen of the website's homepage, and then I was attracted by the huge red banner..."
"..."
"On August 18, 2008, Qidian published the first book in the history of online literature with over 10,000 first-order orders and was written by a new author!"
"..."
"At first I just clicked on "I Want to Be Rich" with the attitude of giving it a try, and then I was attracted. Maybe I was the 10,170th subscriber!"
"To be able to achieve such an achievement is well deserved. From every supporting role, I can see the entire living conditions of the people around me!"
"The golden finger setting of 'System' is so perfect that it can adapt to all literary categories and will develop into an absolutely mainstream story genre!"
"10169, a new milestone at the starting point, is what I like..."
"..."
As early as nine o'clock in the morning, a banner was pulled out on the homepage of Qidian.com.
At 23:49:51 on August 18, 2008, the first day of online literature subscriptions across the entire network created a new peak!
"10169! This number will be the starting point for a long time!"
"..."
Then Fang Nian saw the new message sent by Donggua.
"Congratulations."
"The homepage of Qidian has specially put up a homepage promotion for your book. This is unprecedented publicity. From 9 o'clock to now, in just over an hour, your book has received an explosion of collections, approaching 100,000 collections, and subscriptions are also increasing.
The sharp increase is considered as compensation for you."
Fang Nian: "Thank you, Winter Melon."
He didn't delve into the word 'compensation' in Donggua's words.
Many times, it is difficult to be confused.
If you insist on getting to the bottom of this kind of thing, there is a high probability that it will be a piece of cake.
Totally unnecessary.
Winter Melon: "Don't thank me. I'll tell you another good news. After a simple estimate, your book's income yesterday should be around 15,600 yuan. After sharing, your income may be close to 8,000 yuan!"
Fang Nian: "Ah?!"
Miscalculated.
To be continued...
