It's almost Lunar New Year, and Feng Yu has nothing to do. He is not interested in playing games, mainly because he has no company.
Luckily, he had novels to keep him company. Qidian website had become the biggest Chinese original literature base. More and more web novelists chose to join Qidian because of the benefits, professional editors, and more readers. Qidian also had many business partners.
Some authors, when their novels are published, become writers in the traditional sense of the word in people's minds. Some novels are adapted into TV dramas, and some novels are adapted into games, and the authors are very satisfied.
Of course, there were still countless failed authors struggling. Some of them could not continue after writing tens of thousands of words. Some of them only had a dozen or dozens of subscriptions, but they still managed to write millions of words.
Some treat it as a hobby, some treat it as an extra income, and some treat it as a career.
Of course, in the eyes of many people, full-time authors were unconventional and not doing their job properly. But because of the high expectations of readers, they are reluctant to leave.
A few months ago, Qidian website launched a reward function. This function attracted a lot of rich readers after it was launched.
They can reward the author to express their love for the book, and at the same time, urge the author to write more chapters.
Feng Yu looked at the homepage of Qidian. It is slightly different from before, mainly because of the changes in the recommendation and ranking list.
Feng Yu clicked on the ranking list and started to browse through it to see if there is anything that suits his taste.
This book is not bad. I can save it and download it into my e-reader.
This is not Feng Yu's taste. Forget it.
Ah, this book is interesting. Just a few chapters in the beginning and Feng Yu is already immersed in it. Feng Yu could not help but finish reading it.
The number of words is too little. Why are the authors so slow at updating?
To enjoy the novel, Feng Yu sent 100,000 Qidian coins to the author and left a message. "Didn't you promise to reward me 10,000 coins for one chapter? Don't forget to update another 10 chapters tomorrow. "
A certain author, Qiongsi, was looking at the statistics of his novel.
After he graduated from university, he gave up his stable job in a state-owned enterprise and devoted himself to writing online novels. Because of this, he was constantly reprimanded by his family. Even his classmates and friends thought that he was possessed.
But he loved this. He wanted to write the story in his heart so that more people would recognize it. As long as everyone insisted on using the original version, he would be able to make a living.
The results of this new book weren't bad, but compared to those gurus, the difference was huge. To put it simply, his books did not receive many rewards.
Just look at the tips from those Almighties. They were much more than his royalties.
When he refreshed the page, he suddenly saw a row of red words. Did someone give him a huge tip?
He looked carefully. Yes, it was a reward of 100,000 points. He had a leader now!
However, his expression immediately changed. According to his promise, 10,000 coins for one chapter meant that he had to write 10 chapters.
However, with the rewards, there was motivation. He disconnected from the internet and started to type crazily.
The next morning, Feng Yu opened the webpage and saw that the author had really added ten chapters.
Feng Yu finished reading it in one breath, but he still wanted more. Without saying anything, he tipped the author another 100,000 points.
Qiong Si, who had stayed up all night writing, woke up when it was almost dark. After going to the toilet, he did not even bother to eat and refreshed the webpage to check the data.
What? Another red!
When the first red appeared, Qiong Si was very happy. However, when the second one appeared, he felt a little powerless. But since he had made a promise, he still had to give it his all.
After two consecutive days of red, Feng Yu casually gave his monthly votes to this new book. This caused this new book to overtake the previous one on the monthly votes list.
Feng Yu refreshed the webpage and saw a notification. He opened it and saw that Qiong Si wanted to add him as a friend on QQ.
"Tycoon, thank you for your support. Looks like I can have a good New Year this year."
Feng Yu's face darkened. Tycoon? This guy is a tycoon!
Feng Yu looked at the tycoon lying at his feet and shook his head helplessly.
"It's fine. I saw that your writing was to my liking, so I casually tipped you. Can you update faster? If you can, I can still give you a tip. "
Qiong Si really wanted to tip him, but he really could not take it anymore. "Tycoon, my hand speed might not be that fast. I'll have to disappoint you."
"I see." Feng Yu was indeed a little disappointed. But thinking that this author probably did not have any manuscripts, he said, "It's okay. You can update as much as you can. I'll go and tip you again."
Then, Feng Yu sent another red.
Many people realized that a new book, a new book by an author who was not famous, actually received so many tips. That should not be the case.
Moreover, they also realized that only one person had tipped more than the others for this book. This must have been done by the author himself!
The next day, when Feng Yu looked at the book again, he realized that there were many comments in the book review section. Some said that this book was really good and that he liked reading it. Some said that this author was cheating by tipping himself to get on the rankings. Some were advertising for their own books or books that they liked.
There were even some people who were cursing. He did not know what they were thinking. Was it jealousy?
When Feng Yu saw a book review, his pupils shrank.
There were actually people scolding him, saying that he was a scammer and that he was blind!
You guys don't like it, but I like it. What did I do to you guys by tipping?
Seeing that Feng Yu went online, Qiong Si explained the situation to Feng Yu. It turned out that those people who were fighting with him for the new book rankings were using fake reviewers to attack his book. After all, the new book rankings had at least a thousand yuan in prize money.
Feng Yu only replied with an "Oh". This made Qiong Si a little confused. What did he mean?
But very soon, he understood. That was because a row of red appeared on his book again!
This was really a tycoon. He was rich and willful. He just casually tipped hundreds of thousands of coins?
"Write well and try to be as fast as possible. Don't bother about those fake reviewers. The real readers will not leave you. I have high hopes for you."
Qiong Si was very excited. Meeting such a reader was the happiest thing.
But he did not know that there were not many people in the world that Feng Yu had said "I have high hopes for you." Everyone that Feng Yu had praised was now a successful person in everyone's eyes.
After this tipping, many fake reviewers quietened down. Tipping? With Qiong Si's small amount of royalties, tipping would be a huge loss.
Needless to say, this was definitely a real reader who did not lack money.
Therefore, a row of readers left comments below, asking Feng Yu to go over to their side to review their books.
And a certain veteran author suddenly saw Feng Yu's online username. He was surprised to find out that this was the legendary gold medal reviewer of online novels.
He had always thought that he had left online novels. Was he back now?
