Chapter 28: Chapter 28: This time, shouldn’t be going in again, right?

Lin Chuan looked at the message from Youyou, the editor, and was stunned for a moment before responding with a ‘confused.jpg’ emoticon.

Youyou replied instantly, “Lin Chuan, you finally responded to my message!”

Lin Chuan frowned slightly and replied, “Youyou, what’s up?”

Youyou: “Swindler, it’s become a quality piece!”

Lin Chuan was still lying in bed, sleepy-eyed.

But, when he saw this message from editor Youyou, he “sprang up from the brink of death,” completely losing the urge to sleep, his pupils focusing sharply on the word ‘quality’.

Quality piece!

A quality piece, a work with more than 3000 Average Subscriptions, in Sailing Novel is like a grain of sand in the ocean, inconspicuous.

But!

In just one day’s time, Lin Chuan’s million-word volume of Swindler, from an Average Subscription of over 100, surged to 3000 Average Subscriptions, a truly astonishing feat.

Put another way, it might be more illustrative.

In a single day, “Swindler” achieved chapter subscription numbers reaching 1,215,260.

Converted into manuscript fees, that’s 60,000 yuan!

Lin Chuan swallowed, taking a deep breath.

He had indeed considered that after repeated publicity, “Swindler” would see a surge in results.

But he had never expected it to become a quality piece overnight!

Finally, he’d made a breakthrough!

“Indeed, traffic is the code to wealth.”

Lin Chuan couldn’t help but remark, “If it hadn’t been for this publicity campaign and the huge influx of traffic, for ‘Swindler’ to achieve quality status would have been an indefinitely remote possibility.”

Even the fragrance of wine fears the depth of the alley.

Without recommendations, without traffic, few people have the chance to see it.

And Lin Chuan’s divine maneuver in the anti-gambling publicity was equivalent to a self-initiated recommendation.

In fact, it could be considered a ‘self-rescue.’

After all, he was competing with Handon and Hongmei, who debuted simultaneously, clashing themes with Handon’s “King of Cheating.” And the system had explicit Popularity Value requirements, leaving him trapped in a dark room with no way out.

Fortunately, Lin Chuan broke free.

“Lin Chuan, aren’t you going to publish some thoughts on becoming a quality piece?”

Youyou sent another message.

Between the lines, you could sense Youyou’s satisfaction.

A smile appeared on Lin Chuan’s face as his fingers tapped swiftly on his phone: “First off, I’d like to thank my editor. Writing books under editor Youyou for many years, I’ve always been at the bottom. Now, fortunately, I have achieved a quality piece…”

On the other end of the phone.

Youyou’s mouth curved upwards, looking at Lin Chuan’s string of thoughts, shining brightly like peach blossoms: “Alright, no need to thank me just yet, there’s more good news.”

Lin Chuan’s pupils dilated, his fingers pausing in their rapid typing before he quickly typed out another message to Youyou: “There’s more good news?”

“Go check out Heroes Compete,” Youyou replied.

Heroes Compete?

Lin Chuan thoughtfully recalled.

He vaguely remembered that this was a special event created for The Two Heroes, Handon and Hongmei, to battle it out.

“That’s right!”

Lin Chuan suddenly remembered, “My book is also part of this event; I should be able to get a decent reward.”

He got out of bed, turned on his computer, and checked the Heroes Compete leaderboard.

The next second.

Lin Chuan’s pupils shuddered.

[No.1: Swindler (Mr. Lin), Popularity Value: 316,000.]

[No.2: Number One Sword Immortal (Hongmei), Popularity Value: 83,000.]

[No.3: King of Cheating (Handon), Popularity Value: 73,000.]

Leading the Heroes List!

This… what does this mean?

For a moment, Lin Chuan found it hard to express his feelings, perhaps only the words “holy shit” could succinctly convey his emotions.

“How about it, isn’t that good news?” Youyou sent a message.

“It’s fantastic!”

Lin Chuan hurriedly replied.

Youyou continued, “The duel of the two giants, but you’ve completely crushed them both, 316,000 Popularity Value far in the lead. Even the chief editor says that in this event, no one can surpass your ‘Swindler’.”
