It was the spring season of the Southern Kingdom. The bluestone road stretched straight to the west gate.
In front of a magnificent mansion, there was a flagpole about 20 feet high on both sides of the stone altar, with green flags fluttering at the top.
In front of a magnificent mansion, there was a flagpole about 20 feet high on both sides of the stone altar, with green flags fluttering at the top. On the flag on the right, there was a majestic lion embroidered with yellow silk thread. The flag fluttered in the wind, making the lion look even more lively …
Wang Pu habitually lit a cigarette and glanced at the text displayed on the screen.
Unlike many web readers who were used to reading ten lines at a glance, Wang Pu often read books in detail, especially the opening chapters of new books, which he would read very seriously.
Because he believed that the beginning of a book could reflect the skill of an author. If the beginning was good enough, he would have the confidence to keep reading. If the beginning was not good enough, there was no need to waste time.
This was the tragedy of Lao Bai. If he was an amateur reader, he wouldn't care at all. He could eat anything if he had a good appetite.
Different from Lao Bai who had a sense of superiority, Wang Pu wouldn't sneer at the amateur readers, because Lao Bai used to be an amateur. Instead, he envied the latter for having so many books to read.
And without the support of a large number of amateur readers, web novels wouldn't have developed to such a scale today.
The beginning of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer gave Wang Pu a good feeling. It didn't have the plot of destroying heaven and earth, transmigration, reincarnation, or a very traditional style. The writing was excellent, and the words could catch people's attention.
The most important thing was that there were no typos.
This made Wang Pu feel very comfortable and gave him a reason to continue reading.
As he read deeper, Wang Pu found that the "Jianghu" described in the book was very fresh to him. Although there was no dynasty background, it was completely different from the empires and dynasties in the popular fantasy novels. It gave him the feeling of reading an unofficial historical novel.
Unconsciously, Wang Pu was drawn in. His mood fluctuated with the experiences of the protagonist, Lin Pingzhi, until the appearance of "Brother Linghu" in the mouth of the little nun, Yi Lin.
This was not the style!
This very long narration vividly showed the image of a brave and resourceful chivalrous man, which was exciting and made people clap the table and applaud. It was exactly the style of the protagonist.
In comparison, the previous protagonist, Lin Pingzhi, was a far cry!
It was a big taboo for a supporting role to be more outstanding than the main character!
Wang Pu couldn't help but worry. He didn't know what would happen next. However, just as he was about to reach the itch, he was shocked to find that it was gone.
No more? How could it be gone?
It just hadn't been updated yet.
"Holy sh * t!"
Wang Pu couldn't help but curse out loud. As a result, the cigarette in his mouth fell down along with the long ash, falling right onto his pants.
"Holy sh * t! F * ck me! "
Wang Pu patted it a few times in a flurry. Fortunately, the cigarette had already been extinguished and did not burn his pants.
"What are you looking at? Why are you so excited? "
"Almighty", who was sitting next to him, peeked over and asked curiously.
Wang Pu shook his pants and said with a smile, "It's a novel written by a real god. Do you want to read it?"
"Almighty" shrugged, looking disinterested — he only liked to play games.
"Reading novels is so boring. Come and play" Fairy and Devil "with me. It's fun. I'll carry you!"
Wang Pu glanced at his screen in disdain and said, "It's this kind of scam money free online game again. I won't fall for it. I don't have that much energy."
Wang Pu had played a few online games before. They were all said to be free, but in reality, it was impossible to play without spending money. He wasn't like "Almighty" who relied on playing games to earn money. Where would he have the time and energy to be tortured?
Wang Pu didn't bother with "Almighty" anymore. He put his attention back on the new book. He left a comment in the comment section, "Good book. Work hard to update it. I'll definitely subscribe to all of it after it's published!"
He thought for a while, then clenched his teeth and selected a reward of 588 Book Coins!
Although this amount of Book Coins wasn't much, it was really not easy for Wang Pu, a veteran reader. He came from an ordinary family. He worked in Jiangcheng and had to send money back every month.
Subscribing to all of the original books was the greatest support Wang Pu could give to an author. Normally, he wouldn't donate much unless it was a work that he really liked.
He liked the first few tens of thousands of words of "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer".
Other than leaving a reward, Wang Pu also went to the group to promote the book. "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer recommended by Old Bookworm is really good. I personally recommend it!"
The replies from the group members were very quick.
"Give me a link. I'll read it. If I don't like it, I'll slap Old Wang to death!"
"I read it just now. It's not bad. I feel like the style is more towards physical publishing."
"I don't like this theme. I gave up after reading a bit."
"Little White is not a white. It's a bit too traditional. I don't like it either."
"I have high hopes for this book. The author is very capable!"
"Recommend it too …"
Many people in the group had read "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" because of Old Bookworm's recommendation. Some liked it, some didn't, but overall, the positive comments overwhelmed the negative ones.
For the veteran readers, who were difficult to please, this was already very good!
But Wang Pu was not satisfied. He thought this book should be strongly supported. So he went to other readers' groups and reading forums to recommend this book to other readers.
"The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" was not good in Waves. It didn't even have 60,000 to 70,000 words. The editor must have made a mistake. Wang Pu didn't want such a good book to be buried.
Many capable authors gave up because of the poor performance in the first few chapters. Wang Pu didn't want to see the author named "Memory of Present and Past" to suffer the same fate.
He even wanted to persuade the author to change to another website. If the east was not bright, the west was bright!
And with Wang Pu's efforts to recommend, the data of "The Smiling, Proud, and Proud Wanderer" in Inspur Books has increased significantly. The number of clicks, recommendations, and collections all climbed, especially the number of collections, which quickly rose from dozens to more than 200.
Correspondingly, the comments in the book review section also increased. Several readers gave their support and rewards.
Compared to the popular new books on the website, this result was not worth mentioning. But compared to the previous dismal results, it was undoubtedly a little better.
But at this moment, Lu Chen hadn't tasted this feeling yet. He was secretly with Chen Fei 'er to a local movie theater in Jinling to watch his first movie.
The name of the movie was — The Great Han Emperor.
