Chapter 113: Fighting for the Top Spot Once Again
On the 9th, Lu Li finished filming with the crew early and returned to the hotel to write his thoughts on the novel's release. Since "The Archer" topped the monthly ticket chart for the first time in its debut month, Lu Li had rarely competed for the top spot again, no longer placing as much importance on the monthly ticket chart as he did initially.
At first, Lü Lí attached great importance to the monthly ticket chart mainly because at that time he was still a newcomer in the online literature circle and urgently needed such a list to boost his reputation. The promotion of this list is also very powerful. Moreover, for every new author, the honor brought by this list cannot be ignored. So Lü Lí had almost an obsession - must win the monthly ticket chart championship.
But now Lu Li already has his own stable reader circle and has long been indifferent to some rankings, with no intention of competing.
But even if Lu Li didn't fight for it, the people in Lu Meng's camp often organized monthly ticket battles to help Lu Li win first place many times. Every time this happened, other authors would secretly sigh that they were unlucky and just so happened to be competing with Lu Meng at the same time.
But this time it's different, the five gods who disappeared for many years have returned and challenged themselves. Lu Li's long-lost fighting spirit has also been raised, ready to compete with this legendary ancient god.
"Gunsmoke rises again, can Lu Meng be stopped?"
This is the title of Lu Li's speech on his work being put on shelves.
"It's been a long time since I've asked for monthly tickets, but you guys have never disappointed me and helped me gain many honors! I still remember the crazy updates of "The Legend of the Condor Hero" a few years ago, with nearly 500,000 words updated without disappointing readers! The subsequent content of "Jade Dynasty" is exciting enough, please believe that I won't disappoint you. Now the five ancient gods are coming to war, and Lu Li has taken over. In August, the smoke will rise again, can Lu Meng be defeated? I hope everyone will lend me a helping hand, cast your monthly tickets, and have a thrilling battle with the ancient gods!"
Ludou No. 9 posted this pre-launch speech in the evening and waited for the launch at midnight.
Soon, in the separate group built by Lu Li at the beginning, Liu Xiaowen said as the alliance leader: "The 'Xian' will be launched at dawn, and this month's ticket list cannot be lost. Everyone notify their respective groups to go."
"Received." Peach Blossom Hut in Peach Blossom Valley.
"Received." Body length is 1 meter and 7 centimeters.
"Received." Divine Fist.
……
Nowadays, the fan group of Lu Han has grown a lot compared to its early days. In addition to the original ten major group leaders from Taohua Village and Taohua An, there are many more loyal fans who are core members of the Luhan Alliance.
At this moment, Liu Xiaowen's news arrived, and these people rushed back to their own groups to inform them. Soon, more and more book fans saw the listing speech published by Lü Lì. Some old book fans who had participated in the monthly ticket ranking competition of "Shooting Hoops" were excited and shouted: "Brothers, let's go to the book review area, Lü Lì is making a big move, we can't fall behind."
"Everyone, Lu Li is calling out to Lu Meng, are you all still there?" asked Xiao Yan Qin Feng.
"Never left, always been." Hero's true colors.
"It's been a long time coming, but finally going to fight for the monthly ticket chart, Lu Li Da should have done this a long time ago." - Sha Po Tian.
"Ah, I reckon the days of competing for the top spot won't be many after Lu Li's departure. If it weren't for the Five Gods' appointment, Lu Li probably wouldn't have competed at all. Although Lu Li will still continue to write web novels, his focus has already shifted towards the entertainment industry."
"What's wrong with that? As long as there are books by Lu Li Da to read, it's fine. And Lu Li Da only produces high-quality works in the entertainment industry, we should support him." Emperor.
"The emperor is right, at first I liked Lu Lide's music, but after listening to his new album, I have become a fan. However, I am still a bookworm, and this is not contradictory. All we can do is support." - Jian Shi Dao
"That's right, Lu Li Da once promised not to give up writing web novels, this is the gospel of our book fans, Lu Li Da has always kept his promises, I believe he won't go back on his word." - Leng Yu Ye.
"You guys who are so worried, what's the point of being so anxious? The most important thing now is to help Lu Li Da compete for the monthly ticket ranking. Don't underestimate the power of Wu Shen." Long-awaited pride.
"We must do our best." - Young Master Qin Feng.
"Go all out." Chaotic World Blade.
"Wu Jun is indeed powerful, but our Land Alliance isn't weak either. Everyone, let's work hard." Leng Yu Ye.
……
The gaps in the code words also went to the book review area and took a look at the posts of book friends, with a faint warmth flowing through my heart. These supporters have always been there, even if the style has changed constantly, even if it's now martial arts turned into fantasy, they've all followed along the way.
Time seems to be passing slowly, and it's been a long time since Lu Li had such a feeling. Is he even longing for battle himself?
Stop typing and look at the time on the phone, thinking silently.
Lu Li took a look at the time and found it was still early, so she opened up Xian You's webpage. She saw that San Si wasn't around, but had already posted an announcement about going online, with the title "I'm back".
"For many reasons, I left this circle for many years and came back to find everything unfamiliar. There are many new faces and new types. But what does it matter to me? I'm still the same old me, I've come back, 'Wu Jun' fans, do you still remember me? If not, please support my comeback with a battle against Lu Li! At dawn, "Xian You" is launched, the long-awaited feeling fills my heart. Now that I've returned, please vote for me with your monthly tickets! August will be even more wonderful because of us."
The words of Bu San Bu Si and Lu Li's book launch are almost the same, both evoking memories in readers. One is because it has been a long time since they last competed for the top spot, and one is because they have left online literature for many years.
After finishing reading, Lu Li continued to look at the book review area and found that this side was no less than the "Xian" book review area, extremely lively.
"With our five elements at peace, Lu Meng may be powerful, but what does that matter? Our former glory is what was truly brilliant. Let us restore the glory of old." - General.
"The general said it well, restoring the glory of the past. Although Wu Shen has been away for many years, his writing style and composition are still there. 'Xian You' is magnificent and majestic, with ups and downs in the plot, even when writing about Xian Xia Wu Shen, it's still written so wonderfully."
"No words can describe it, 'Xian You' is well-written and must be supported." - Can Ying.
"In this fiery month of August, let the battles be even more intense. The Wu army is ready, waiting only to go into battle." - Military General.
……
Ludie couldn't help but sigh, the ancient great god was indeed an ancient great god, even after disappearing for many years, its popularity had not diminished from back then. However, Ludie was even more excited, this kind of battle was what made things interesting.
"The Immortal's Journey" has a similar number of words to "The Great Sage", both have been updated to around 350,000 words. Lu Li quickly took a look at this mediocre work and found that it had a style similar to the tomatoes on Earth in his previous life, with an extremely grand and magnificent background, and the plot was also very exciting.
Now that there is a category like Xian Xia, it's even more unrestrained and unbridled. The book is written with an extraordinary grandeur, making the reader's blood boil with excitement.
Lu Li didn't have much time to look closely, just glanced at it and found that the time was almost 12 o'clock. Lu Li entered his own author background, preparing for the update at dawn.
At 1:00, Lu Li directly updated 10 chapters and turned off the computer to sleep. After all, he is not only a web writer, but also a screenwriter and deputy director of the "Yitian" crew, and tomorrow he still needs to participate in filming, so he naturally has to ensure sufficient sleep.
As Lu Li updated these 10 chapters, "The Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation" has now been updated to around 380,000 words, and the story is also getting better.
Before the previous chapters were put on shelves, Zhang Xiaofan and his four fellow disciples went down the mountain for a trial, which was very enjoyable for readers. At this time, Gui Wang, alias Wan Renwang, said something to Zhang Xiaofan that subverted his beliefs, as if foreshadowing something.
In addition to the updated 30,000 words, at this moment, both the righteous and evil sides have gathered at Liubo Mountain. Zhang Xiaofan saw his senior sister Tian Ling'er and Qi Huan being affectionate with each other, and he couldn't control his murderous intentions, so he was scolded by his master. Bi Yao, who had already secretly developed feelings for Zhang Xiaofan in the Blood Drop Cave, also met him here. After the Ghost King appeared, he even directly advised Zhang Xiaofan to join the demonic sect, which was seen by his senior brother Xiang Yicai from the Qingyun Gate. Zhang Xiaofan's situation seems to be getting more and more dangerous.
Readers saw Lu Li update 10 chapters at once and were so excited that they took action.
Very soon, the 24-hour subscription of "Zhān Xiān" grew crazily, and the monthly ticket also increased continuously, even quickly surpassing many authors who had been on the shelves at the beginning of the month, making many authors envy.
Like Lu Li, it seems that he had already prepared the draft and directly updated ten chapters, with a promise of additional updates.
On Tianya Forum, a live post "The Battle Between Xian Xia and Xian You" attracted many people's attention.
"By the end of June, two great gods can be said to have attracted the attention of most people - Lu Li, who has switched to fantasy novels, and Wu Shen, a legendary god who has returned. These two great gods also made an appointment to compete with each other, and their data has been neck and neck since the release of their new books. Today, at dawn, both books went on sale simultaneously. From Lu Li's and Wu Shen's pre-sale speeches, it seems that they want to compete for victory in the monthly ticket rankings. I'm not talented, but I'll open a live broadcast post to report the battle situation between the two books in real-time, making it convenient for everyone to watch. It's still early now, and the 24-hour pre-order data for both books will be announced tomorrow at this time. Currently, 'Xian Xia' has 103 monthly tickets, while 'Sanyou' has 109 monthly tickets, slightly ahead. It seems that Wu Shen, a legendary god from ancient times, hasn't retreated in the slightest despite his disappearance over the past few years."
"The landlord is a good person, but these two books are too scary, right? It's only been so long and the monthly votes have already reached this many?"
"The upstairs is really making a big fuss, the world of great gods you don't understand, this is still the first day and both bookworms haven't exerted their strength yet, otherwise it would be even more frightening." Grandpa passed by unnoticed.
"The upstairs is correct, thinking of the year when Lu Li first competed for the championship and scared many people to death with his knowledge of fate, thinking of the mysterious alliance behind Wu Shen that was not inferior to Le Tian Zhi Ming, it's really wonderful." Regret.
"Yes, I also don't know if Le Tian Zhi Ming and the five gods behind him will take action this time. It's really exciting to see them come out and fight." - Lingying.
"This is hard to say, we can just watch and see." Sinking.
Lu Li didn't have time to pay much attention to the monthly ticket situation because he left the hotel early the next day to watch Jiang You film "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber".
