Chapter Forty-Four: Initial Subscription Results

  Niú Guǐ Shé Shén is one of the top gods on the internet, and is also the undisputed number one in e-book subscriptions. From his debut to now, he has published 5 books, each with over 10 million subscribers on the main platform, not to mention the additional ones. With these achievements, Niú Guǐ Shé Shén quickly became a top god on the internet, with an unshakeable divine status.

  Niú Guǐ Shé Shén's real name is Zhù Jiā Chéng, a middle-aged man over 40 years old who has been active in the online literature world for more than 8 years. Behind Niú Guǐ Shé Shén, there are many die-hard readers supporting him.

  He is the only Supreme God who has read "The Legend of the Condor Hero", and once almost missed coding because he was chasing after it. So, for the strength of this book "The Legend of the Condor Hero", Niu Gui She Shen is the clearest, that exquisite writing, tightly knit plot, vivid character portrayal, although unwilling to admit, indeed surpasses many of his own works. Not just himself, but also the books of several other Supreme Gods who are on par with him can't compare to this book.

  And probably only those who can write books like "Jiǎo" have the guts to make remarks like "war god".

  Such an excellent book hasn't gained much popularity yet, on the one hand, because it has relatively few words, only around 3 million characters. People who read online know that many readers won't click on books with less than 10 million characters. So a word count of 3 million can't attract some people to get hooked. On the other hand, Lu Li's foundation is too weak, although relying on one book "Fantasy City" has gathered a lot of fans, but compared to these top authors who have accumulated fans over several years, it's still far behind.

  In terms of book quality, "The Legend of the Condor Hero" surpasses all its competitors. In terms of popularity and number of fans, it is not far behind several top-notch novels. As for the title of that post on Tianya Forum, Niubixing doesn't comment.

  If Lüdi is a great god, then it's highly likely that even the few supreme gods including himself can only be exploded by chrysanthemum. But for now, victory or defeat is still an unknown number.

  The once fiery passion of the now over-40 Niubixianshen has long since dissipated, perhaps only to be found in his books. But now, he's experiencing that same thrill as when he was a newcomer, bursting through others' defenses.

  It's been a long time since I've been so excited! The cow demon and snake god in front of the computer showed a toothy grin, their expression becoming focused. To be able to fight with such a master is truly something to look forward to. Originally thought that last month's battle with several other top gods was already intense enough, but this month is even more fierce.

  The ox demon and snake god have already sensed the boiling of hot blood.

  The next morning, Lu Li didn't get out of bed to check the subscription status of "The Archery", but instead followed his own schedule, exercising in the morning, practicing vocals, and attending classes. It wasn't until evening that Lu Li returned to his dormitory after dinner and opened his computer.

  As soon as he went online, Lu Li received a lot of information.

  The first message is from the editor of Gu Feng: "I checked your pre-order situation through the background, although it's not 24 hours yet, but looking at the current situation, it's particularly good, keep going. By the way, this is our group for authors in Group 8, you're also a published author now, add me."

  The second one is from Liu Xiaowen: "Lu Li Da, how many pre-orders does 'She Qiang' have?"

  There are still many posts asking about the first subscription results, just like Liu Xiaowen. Then there are group messages in the "farewell" group, which also mostly contain guesses about the first subscription results, and several large groups discussing who will come in first.

  After reading these messages, Lu Li joined the YY group number given by Gu Feng and then closed these messages.

  In the web 8 group, Lu Li also used the name Lu Li and sent a sentence: "Hello everyone, new person reporting."

  Lu Li did not expect that his message would be like a stone thrown into the calm surface of a lake, causing many people to respond.

  "Wow, our group has a super strong player, I want to cling to their thigh. Naming is really hard."

  "Lu Di Da, lead our 8 groups towards brilliance!" I am not a handsome guy.

  "Lu Li Da, seeking foster care!" La **year.

  "Lu Li Da, ask a question, how many pre-orders does 'The Archer' have?" I asked seriously.

  "Right, Lu Li Da, asking for explosive first-order subscription!" I'm not a handsome guy but I've come with enthusiasm.

  "Lu Li Da, explode out and let me worship you on the streets." Heartbroken.

  ……

  Lu Li looked at these replies asking for patronage and leg-hugging, couldn't help but smile wryly. However, regarding those who were clamoring to explode the first subscription, Lu Li thought they were still okay.

  But Lu Li himself didn't know the pre-order situation of "The Archer" yet, and replied: "As for the subscription situation, I haven't looked at it myself. I just opened my computer to go online now, and I'll take a screenshot later."

  After sending this message, Lu Li directly closed the chat window and let the group icon flash there.

  Lu Li's response to the explosive news of the first subscription in the group caused a violent reaction, with many people who usually lurked coming out to join in the excitement, expressing their anticipation for the first subscription of "Shooting Star" and hoping that Lu Li could create a miracle after all they were also authors of Group 8.

  Group 8 has always been a group of authors and works that can't hold up the scene, and the web also assigned Gu Feng, a new editor who had just graduated from university, to this group. It's clear that Group 8 is not looked highly upon. On the Tiankong Forum, many old-timers say that Group 8 is no good, and whenever someone new says their author number is in Group 8, these people always say, "Hurry up and reapply for a number, Group 8 is no good."

  As authors of Group 8, these people may not say anything in their daily lives, but they all have a grievance in their hearts.

  Now, Lu Li, a newcomer, is arguably the best performing author in Group 8 and has the most potential to become a top author. They naturally hope that Lu Li can achieve good results, so they can save face too, and finally, someone from Group 8 can hold their own on stage.

  Moreover, although they are all authors, for this book "The Archery" which is currently the best in the group, they also followed and read it, and as a result, they were deeply trapped. So their expectations for "The Archery" are also very high.

  Ludie opened the web and checked the current data of "Shooting" through the author's background.

  Clicks: 14,538,902; Recommendations: 2,568,498; Favorites: 307,281. It has been around 17 hours since the pre-order started, and currently, there are 1,367,038 subscribers.

  Ludie didn't know how good this score was, after all, the online literature situation in this world was still quite different from that of Earth.

  Ludie remembers that on a certain point in the previous life's earth, the highest collection on the list was "Panlong" this book, exceeding 900,000. And as for subscriptions, Ludie remembers that at some point, reaching 3,000 subscriptions could enter the premium channel, so it seems that Ludie's achievement is simply against the sky.

  But the web novel situation in this world is different, with one website monopolizing the market and no pirated websites available. To read books, you can only read online originals or physical copies. So although the web novels in this world have not yet developed to the same level as on Earth, the authors' income and various data are much higher than those on Earth (the web novel situation in this world has been introduced several times, so many of the data are relatively high, and will no longer be explained).

  But this also makes it difficult for Ludi to analyze the data and determine whether it's good or bad. Compared to Earth, it feels too good. But compared to some of the big shots here, Ludi feels like he's a street rat.

  It seems like I still have a lot to learn!

  Lu Li sighed and sent a screenshot of the pre-order situation to the 8-author group, writing: "Alas, the current pre-orders are over 1.3 million, feeling much less than the number of collections." At the end, Lu Li added an emoticon with a sigh.

  After this screenshot and the words typed by Lu Li were sent out, they immediately suffered a siege from many authors in the group.

  "Wipe it off, great god, you're here to sell cuteness, 130,000 pre-orders and you're still complaining, truly a rich man doesn't know the hunger of a poor man."

  "The land is full of cuteness, identification complete." I'm very serious.

  "Do you still want to live? Lu Li's 'The Great True One' has sealed the gods." Heartbroken.

  Lu Li still didn't know better and asked: "Uh, is this score good?"

  "Lu Li Da, you're shamelessly showing off, be careful or heaven will strike you with lightning." Heartbroken.

  "Stop pretending to be cool!" Lao Li said with a laugh.

  "Continue to hug big legs." Naming is really difficult.

  ……

  Lu Li looked at these authors' responses and only then did she realize that her achievement was actually very good, with 150,000 pre-orders in 24 hours.

  It's said that even the works of top authors, when they're first put up, have at most 300,000 advance orders. Once the word count exceeds 1 million, subscriptions will increase again. After all, many people don't like waiting for updates while reading a book, so they'll wait until it's finished before starting to read.

  As a newcomer, Lu Li's achievement can be said to have reached the limit, and the foundation is still slightly inferior. Although it has not yet reached the standard of a great god, it has also made many authors in the group envy. This is the rhythm of a book becoming a classic!

  As long as Lu Li continues to maintain such achievements, I believe that the next book will be able to enjoy the treatment of the highest god.

  Lu Li felt a bit more confident after understanding this information. She remembered that Liu Xiaowen and others had also asked about her subscription situation before, but she hadn't replied yet.

  For Liu Xiaowen and others, Lu Li is very important. These people are not only their own fans, but also help manage the book review area and manage the book friend group. In his heart, Lu Li has already treated them as friends. Moreover, Lu Li has decided in his heart that he must give these old members some benefits in the future.

  Ludie just copied the screenshot to the "Separation" group, then closed YY and started typing. Although the initial subscription achieved good results, it was still uncertain to compete for the top spot on the monthly ticket list, so Ludie didn't relax at all.

  But Lu Li didn't know that with the arrival of dawn, the Tiankong Forum was once again bustling.
