Chapter 433 - Zhongdian Chinese Network’s First Order (2/2)
Did he earn some money and found a ghostwriter?
That was still impossible. Ma Yiqun would not allow something like that to happen.
No matter what, writing 280,000 words in just one month was not something the Cui Geng that Pei Qian knew would do!
Else, it was Cui Geng who was problematic.
Else, it was Pei Qian’s understanding that went wrong…
Pei Qian quickly opened the ‘The Butterfly Game’ novel to read.
He read chapter by chapter, from when the protagonist obtained a golden finger to make an unintentional game designer profit so much…
Pei Qian felt a growing sense of deja vu.
“Is… isn’t this me?!”
The content of this novel emphasized repeatedly about his successes, and the readers’ comments made him feel as though he was being laughed at again and again.
“This bast*rd’s novel is too funny, hahahahaha…”
“Quickly update, lazy bum! I can’t wait to see which unlucky idiot’s ‘dream being realized!”
“This protagonist is rather interesting. You might say that he was doing something good, granting orders’ wishes on a whim but always obtaining the opposite effect. If you say that he was doing something bad, he was indeed doing something that had every sense of the meaning of success. He was only left with a face of confusion!”
“I wonder what kind of thought process this lazy bum has! He can even think of such a scenario!”
“You’re still calling him lazy bum? Call him the Tentacle Beast! He made such a massive update in one month, making it to pay-to-read. Do you yield!”
“I really want to know if someone else is using this pen name. The difference in style and material is too large. Even his state experienced massive changes. Previously, it was a gift to be able to get one chapter. Now, he sometimes updates four or five chapters a week!”
“It seems like it’s the efforts of the authors’ class organized by the website. The works of authors who went to the class are getting better.”
“I’ll @ the books I’m following right now!”
Pei Qian quickly glanced at the comments of the readers, his heart turning cold.
It seemed like… this book… has great reviews?
Pei Qian was shocked.
This was not as simple as Zhongdian Chinese Network having another good novel. More importantly, was Cui Geng worthy of the ‘special observer’ role?
How could a special observer start to write fervently every day? Would he still have the time to observe if he were to write so much?
He had absolutely let down Boss Pei’s expectations for this role!
Pei Qian was very anxious. He refreshed the application by accident, causing a new article to pop out. “I’d like to report a piece of good news to everyone. It has been 12 hours since the first VIP chapter was uploaded from 12am. This book has 8,000 subscribers now and has broken Zhongdian Chinese Network’s record!
“There are still another 12 hours. The estimated total subscribers would be within 12,000 to 15,000. It’s a very large breakthrough to both me and the website!
“I hope that everyone could come in to support before the final results are out. If you think this book is alright, please subscribe. Let us create a new record on Zhongdian Chinese Network!
“I’m also working hard on my writing. I’ll update with a 10,000-word chapter once midnight strikes!
“Thank you, everyone!” Pei Qian was feeling a little dizzy.
“What the f*ck…?”.
If they were to go by normal circumstance, the last 12 hours would definitely not be able to attract as much traffic as the first 12 hours. Putting the estimate at 13,000 subscribers was a very normal figure.
However, this was an excellent chance for Zhongdian Chinese Network. Ma Yiqun, therefore, was using everything at his disposal at Zhongdian Chinese Network to promote it!
The rest of the 12 hours had two peak readerships: during afternoon and night. It was possible to double the readership!
Zhongdian Chinese Network’s greatest problem had been that the lower and mid-tier authors had always had average benefits, but no novel had really great results.
Cui Geng’s original book had an average of 5,000 subscribers which put him at rank 40-50 on Zhongdian Chinese Network. Cui Geng was also one of the better achievers in class.
Ma Yiqun and Pei Qian were both very aware of this fact.
Pei Qian, therefore, rejected Ma Yiqun’s request to poach masters from outside to spend the money on the mid and low-tier writers. However, he did not think that this class could actually still produce a super author!
An 8,000 subscribership was nothing compared to a large site like Infinite Chinese Network. Perhaps a dozen authors there could obtain such traffic.
However, an author with a 15,000 subscribership would also be a prominent author in Infinite Chinese Network!
That meant to say that from then on, Zhongdian Chinese Network would also have masterpieces and prominent authors!
Moreover, that was not the crucial point.
The most crucial point was that Ma Yiqun used so many resources to promote one novel also for publicity to show the rest of the authors a kind of exemplary behavior. It meant: ‘Did you see it? You could also get a 15,000 subscriber if you were to write well on Zhongdian Chinese Network!’
If it were to persist, the average subscribership might even hit 30,000 to 40,000 without a problem!
The originally lower and mid-tier authors had good benefits on Zhongdian Chinese Network. Many authors did not go on board because they felt that there was not enough visibility on the website.
However, there was evidence that there was ample readership on the website. The upper limits had been raised so more authors would definitely come onboard!
It was the same logic for readers. Many readers previously might feel that there weren’t many top-quality good books on the Zhongdian Chinese Network and treated this website as a spare tire. They would only come here when there were no other good books on the Infinite Chinese Network.
However, the stereotype of ‘Zhongdian Chinese Network did not have any good books’ would naturally have changed for the better!
In short, Cui Geng’s The Butterfly Game would have a long term impact onZhongdian Chinese Network. It symbolized Zhongdian Chinese Network’s advancement to the next stage!
Pei Qian was speechless looking at Cui Geng’s chapter.
Boss Pei’s happy place did not seem to be particularly peaceful today…
