The slanting sun was gradually setting, painting the sky with shades of orange and red twilight. Unconsciously, dusk had fallen, and a gentle evening breeze brought a touch of coolness, rustling the leaves.
In Lin Chuan’s small rented room, the tightly drawn curtains allowed the golden glow of sunset to peek through, casting a pale yellow light that draped over Lin Chuan and the Little Landlady, as if accompanying a primordial hum.
“Xinxin, we haven’t eaten all day.”
“Okay, then let’s have dinner first.”
“First?”
“We’ll eat dinner… then continue.”
“You little temptress!”
“…”
Night came quietly and then swiftly passed. The moon hid as the sun rose, and the sun sank as the moon shone bright, in an endless cycle.
In the blink of an eye, it had moved from June 8th to June 10th.
The morning light at dawn cast patterns on the curtains, the square patches of light hit Lin Chuan’s eyes, signaling the arrival of another day.
Lin Chuan merely stirred.
The Little Landlady instinctively turned over, tightly hugging Lin Chuan, lazily and affectionately leaning against his chest, her face flushed and alluring.
“Xinxin, it’s time to get up and see the world outside.”
Lin Chuan embraced the Little Landlady, kissed her forehead, and said with a smile.
For the past two days, Lin Chuan had been reconnecting with the Little Landlady, paying little attention to the outside world.
“Carry me out of bed.”
The Little Landlady pursed her lips slightly, revealing a contented smile on her blushing cheeks.
“Okay!”
Lin Chuan smiled slightly, picked up the Little Landlady in his arms. After two days and nights of intense action, he was a bit sore and weak, but lifting the Little Landlady was not a problem at all.
Get up, get dressed, have breakfast.
Lin Chuan sat at the dining table, opened his mobile phone, and looked at the world.
Multiple news reports stated that the gangs active in the Old Street Factory District had been entirely uprooted.
The Old Street Factory District was now denounced by the whole network, with loud calls for anti-fraud action, and various parties issued statements, promising a joint ‘operation’ targeting the factory district, with the Old Street Factory District as the primary focus.
The Anti-Fraud Center app had soared in popularity, with an astonishing number of downloads, and had just opened nationwide.
He also saw a picture.
——Old Bao sitting in the driver’s seat inside a car, a photo of him riddled with bullets.
At this moment.
Lin Chuan’s lips curled up, revealing a slight smile.
Everything progressed as anticipated, and the Old Street Factory District would soon cease to exist.
‘Ding dong ding dong.’
Nine o’clock sharp.
It was Youyou sending a message: “Darling, good morning!”
“Youyou, good morning. Is there some good news you want to tell me?” Lin Chuan smiled and replied.
“How did you know that?”
On the other side of the network, Youyou revealed a bright smile.
“Just a guess.” Lin Chuan said with a smile.
Right then, Youyou sent a message: “Congratulations on achieving the 20,000 Average Subscription achievement!”
Reached the 20,000 subscription achievement?
Lin Chuan’s face froze for a moment, and he immediately opened the author’s assistant background to check the Average Subscription score of “All-In”.
——Average Subscription 20,967.
Well, he had inadvertently broken through the 20,000 mark!
“An unexpected pleasure.”
Lin Chuan grinned broadly and said with a smile.
Indeed, his original intention was to merely expose the Old Street Factory District, sparking social discussion and achieving the goal of eradicating it. However, he did not expect that this surge of traffic would also benefit his work.
On May 26th, “All-In” had just achieved the 10,000 subscription milestone.
Now, the 20,000 Average Subscription figure had far exceeded Lin Chuan’s expectations.
“And there’s another piece of good news!”
Youyou sent another message.
Lin Chuan raised an eyebrow: “Did the results of the Anti-Fraud literary contest come out?”
June 10th was the day the final results of the Anti-Fraud literary contest were to be announced.
“Yes, guess what prize you won?” Youyou replied.
“Which prize?”
Lin Chuan’s eyebrows lifted.
In Modu’s Sailing Novel office, Youyou looked very happy and immediately sent Lin Chuan a number: “1.”
First prize!
Lin Chuan clenched his fist, his face radiating an exhilarated smile, and a “Nice” spontaneously escaped his lips.
“What’s nice?”
Just then, the Little Landlady brought over a glass of breakfast milk and handed it to Lin Chuan.
Lin Chuan, sitting on the chair, wrapped the Little Landlady in his arms and said with a smile, “My ‘All-In’ has reached 20,000 Average Subscriptions and won first prize in the Anti-Fraud literary contest.”
“Doesn’t that mean it’s going to be adapted into a film or TV series?”
The Little Landlady’s eyes lit up.
The first prize of the Anti-Fraud literary contest was unique and belonged to the front line of film and TV adaptations.
Lin Chuan nodded, “It should be.”
Film and TV adaptations were the obsession of web novel writers, not just a simple matter of achieving success, but more importantly, about gaining public recognition and breaking out of the niche. A novel getting adapted for the screen meant that the author’s stories were breaking out of the web novel circle and entering the public eye.
That was another growth track for web novel writers—IP derivatives from their novels.
Web novel IP derivatives include, but are not limited to, digital collectibles, audiobooks, publishing, music, fan creations, game rights, animation adaptations, and film and TV adaptations.
Ordinary web novel writers find it hard to come into contact with ‘novel IP derivatives.’
Within the Sailing Novel Website, after reaching the major refined product level, writers would gradually get in touch with ‘novel IP derivatives,’ but even most major works and ordinary 10,000-subscriber milestones generate limited ‘novel IP derivatives.’
This is one of the reasons why many 10,000-subscriber, Heavenly King, and Influent Author writers were gunning for the Anti-Fraud literary contest prizes.
The success of adaptations into animation or film could take a work to a new level, breaking out of the web novel circle to the mainstream society and achieving widespread market recognition.
For instance, the film adaptation of “Joy of Life” was a great hit, and “Joy of Life 2” is highly anticipated and currently hotly discussed.
“All-In” winning a film and TV adaptation marked a significant societal acknowledgement for Lin Chuan!
In the web novel circle, he could now stand tall.
