March 1st, Tuesday …
The house that Pei Qian bought last weekend was officially handed over.
Pei Qian received the various documents and keys of the house after finding a company that specialized in inspection.
However, there was no furniture or home appliances in the house.
Pei Qian had originally intended to let his parents live in this apartment. He did not intend to buy furniture and appliances according to his own preferences. Thus, he specially made a trip home, gave his parents a key each, and asked them to help tidy up when they had time.
Pei Qian's plan was perfect:
He would say that he was busy with work and could not leave (which was true). Thus, he had no time to deal with these messy things after buying the house. He would ask his parents to take some time to choose furniture and home appliances. After they were done, Pei Qian would reimburse them.
That way, the style of the furniture would be more in line with his parents' aesthetics.
After everything was tidied up, he would ask his parents to take some time to stay there for a few days, saying that it would add some liveliness to the new house.
After living like this, his parents would naturally give the house away after they got used to it.
As for Pei Qian himself, he could think of other ways to get a bigger place for himself.
After a busy weekend, Pei Qian was in a much better mood now that he had completely cast aside all the troubles in the company.
The only thing that he was not too happy about was that his parents kept asking about Fei Huang Workspace's new movie after returning home. Pei Qian helplessly told them the truth. In the end, his parents were very happy and dragged Pei Qian to watch it again. They even carefully found Pei Qian's name in the list of behind-the-scenes personnel.
Pei Qian had nothing to say about his parents' public execution of their happiness based on their own pain. He could only cry silently in his heart.
All in all, after a period of recuperation, Boss Pei was full of energy!
The real battle in the next month would directly determine the success or failure of this cycle!
The two games developed by Tengda Games and Shang Yang Games would be released this month.
Otto Technologies should also be holding a news conference and officially selling them.
These were all projects that Pei Qian had high hopes for. If all of them were lost, it could completely offset the pain brought about by the high box office of the movie!
Little Sun drove to Shenhua View in a serious manner.
Pei Qian sat in the backseat and took out his cell phone on a whim, seeking some mental comfort.
Recently, he was most satisfied with the transformation of Zhongdian Chinese Network's authors' class.
Ever since they spread the Tengda spirit to this class, the number of updates by all authors had been declining. The more they wrote, the shorter they were!
Even Ming Yu, who used to be a model worker, didn't update at all. He only wrote seven to eight thousand words a day.
For other authors, seven to eight thousand words was already a lot, but for Ming Yu, who could easily write fifteen thousand words, this number was cut in half.
Pei Qian was very happy about this.
Although the impact of fewer updates by these authors on the website was negligible and would not be of much help to Boss Pei's money-losing plan, it was a very happy thing to see such a slacking mentality spread!
Contributions to the present generation will benefit the future generations!
Pei Qian did not open Zhongdian Chinese Network's application to read them. He only wanted to see if the authors' word count had decreased again.
There was no other way. Boss Pei was such a boring and easily satisfied person.
However, when he opened the app this time, it was not a list of books that popped up, but a screen of recommendations.
"The Butterfly Game has been released!"
"The butterfly flaps its wings and sets off a storm!"
"A brand new urban theme that has broken many records on the website since it was serialized!"
"Bookmark and subscribe to receive a random Zhongdian Chinese Network Coin Gift Pack!"
Pei Qian was stunned.
The recommendation for this new book seemed a little too strong, right?
The screen could be said to be the best recommendation resource on the website. Not many books seemed to get this resource the moment it was released.
"The Butterfly Game? Why don't I have any impression of this title? Is it a new book that appeared recently? "
"There's no pen name on the screen. Is it a new author? If it's written well, I can't delay it. I have to pull him over to learn the Tengda spirit immediately! "
Pei Qian clicked on it subconsciously.
However, Pei Qian was stunned when he saw the author's pen name.
"A tentacle monster that writes desperately? Isn't that Cui Geng?
"He's still writing?!"
Pei Qian felt very confused. He had a lot of favor for Cui Geng, the author, mainly because Cui Geng played a very key role in spreading the Tengda spirit in the class.
However, Pei Qian's impression of Cui Geng was still at his' finished speech 'and' special observer 'position.
Pei Qian understood Cui Geng's income. Based on his average subscription rate and salted fish's update rate, his monthly income would be about ten thousand yuan at most.
The special observer's salary might not be that much, but the actual value was obviously more than that with the various subsidies and benefits of Tengda.
Moreover, his position did not have specific work tasks. He would still earn money even if he played games without restraint every day.
What motivation did Cui Geng have to update with such a comparison?
Pei Qian was a little confused. A salted fish who had no reason to update had started a new book and even published it. This … seemed to be a problem.
He looked at the word count of the book again.
260,000 words were published!
The first chapter was published on New Year's Eve, February 2nd!
In other words, this book had been written for less than a month, and it had already written 260,000 words. What's more, there were ten chapters after it was published. That added up to 280,000 words!
He wrote 280,000 words in a month?
How could he still be a salted fish? He was already worthy of the title of "The Tentacle Monster Who Writes Desperately"!
Pei Qian felt a little dizzy.
Could this fellow have made some money, become inflated, and found a ghostwriter?
On second thought, that was not possible. Ma Yiqun would not tolerate such a thing happening.
However, no matter what, writing 280,000 words in a month was obviously not the Cui Geng that Pei Qian knew!
Either there was something wrong with Cui Geng.
Or there was something wrong with Pei Qian's understanding …
Pei Qian quickly clicked on The Butterfly Game to read the main text.
He read chapter by chapter, from the protagonist's golden finger to a game designer who had no intention of making money at all, accidentally making a lot of money …
The more Pei Qian read, the more he felt a magical sense of déjà vu.
"This … isn't this me?!"
The content of the book seemed to be repeatedly flogging a corpse, and the comments of the readers made Pei Qian feel like he was being mocked by countless people.
"Oh my, this book is so funny, hahahaha …"
"Long-timer, hurry up and update. I can't wait to see which unlucky person's' dreams' come true '."
"This main character is really interesting. If you say that he's doing a good deed, he always fills in other people's wishes and ends up thinking in the opposite direction. But if you say that he's doing something bad, he does help other people achieve success in the secular sense, leaving only a dumbfounded supporting character!"
"I'm really curious how the brain of a low-timer works. How can he come up with such a lame plot!"
"You're still calling me a low-timer? Call me Brother Tentacle! Big Brother will publish it in a month. Are you convinced?! "
"I've always wanted to ask if this pen name has changed? Not only is the style and theme different, but even the attitude has changed drastically. In the past, it was good enough to wait for one chapter a day, and I was often left standing. Now, I usually get four or five chapters a day! "
"I think it's because of the author's class that the website organized. All the authors who attended that class wrote better and better books."
"I'm going to read the books that I'm chasing right now!"
Pei Qian quickly scanned through the readers' comments, trembling with fear.
It seemed like … this book … was very well received?
Pei Qian suffered a huge blow.
To him, this matter was not as simple as Zhongdian Chinese Network gaining a good book. More importantly, was Cui Geng a competent 'special observer'?
Could a special observer who suddenly started writing diligently still be called an observer? How could he have the time to observe other people if he only cared about writing every day?
He had completely let down Boss Pei's expectations of him!
Pei Qian was very anxious. He refreshed the page and saw that there was a new chapter.
"I'd like to report a piece of good news to everyone. It's only been twelve hours since the first VIP chapter was uploaded at midnight. This book has reached eight thousand subscriptions, breaking Zhongdian Chinese Network's previous record!
"There's still twelve hours left. I think the final figures will be between 12000 to 15000. This is a huge breakthrough for both me and the website!
"Therefore, before the final results are out, I hope that everyone can click in and support me. If you think this book is good, please subscribe to the first chapter. Let's create a new record for Zhongdian Chinese Network!
"I'm also working hard on my writing. Once midnight passes, I'll update ten thousand words!
"Thank you, everyone!"
Pei Qian looked a little dazed.
"F * ck …"
Based on normal natural growth, the next twelve hours would not be as fast as the beginning. It would be normal for the book to reach 13000 subscriptions.
However, this was a great opportunity for Zhongdian Chinese Network. That was why Ma Yiqun was using all the resources on the internet to promote The Butterfly Game!
There were two peak periods in the afternoon and evening in the remaining twelve hours. Based on such a crazy recommendation quota, the number of subscriptions might actually double!
The biggest problem with Zhongdian Chinese Network previously was that no book had really become popular despite the benefits of lower and mid-tier authors.
Cui Geng's original book had an average subscriptions of around five thousand. It was already ranked forty to fifty in Zhongdian Chinese Network. Cui Geng's results were also very high among all the authors who participated in the class.
Ma Yiqun and Pei Qian were very clear about this.
That was why Pei Qian rejected Ma Yiqun's request to poach great authors from other websites. He wanted Ma Yiqun to spend his money on middle and low-tier authors.
In the end, he never expected that this study class would produce a top author!
If the book had eight thousand subscriptions, it would not be a big deal to get it from a big website like Zhongdian Chinese Network. There might be dozens of authors there who could get that kind of data.
However, if the book could reach 15000 subscriptions, it would be considered a very important author even on Zhongdian Chinese Network!
In other words, from now on, Zhongdian Chinese Network would not have any great authors or good books!
What's more, that was not the worst thing.
The worst thing was that Ma Yiqun was using so many resources to promote this book so that it could have a publicity effect. He wanted to set a benchmark for all authors.
What he meant was: Do you see that? Write well on Zhongdian Chinese Network. You can also get fifteen thousand subscriptions!
If you maintain this number of subscriptions, it would not be a problem to write thirty to forty thousand subscriptions!
Zhongdian Chinese Network had good benefits for lower and mid-tier authors. Many authors did not come because they felt that the website's upper limit was not high enough.
However, now that someone had proven that the website's readership had increased and the upper limit had been raised, more authors would definitely come over!
The same logic applied to readers. In the past, many readers felt that Zhongdian Chinese Network did not have top-notch books. They only used this website as a spare tire. They read on Zhongdian Chinese Network and only came over occasionally to take a look when there were fewer books.
However, now, the readers' stereotype of 'Zhongdian Chinese Network did not have good books' had naturally changed!
All in all, Cui Geng's The Butterfly Game had a profound impact on Zhongdian Chinese Network. It marked the beginning of Zhongdian Chinese Network's next stage!
Pei Qian looked at Cui Geng's single chapter, speechless.
Boss Pei's comeback did not seem to be going very smoothly.
