Chapter 46: The Monthly Ticket War (1)

  Things on the internet did not affect Lu Li's real life, and he still lived a regular life as usual. It was just that at night, Lu Li's typing speed had increased significantly, and his stored manuscripts were also constantly increasing.

  As the days of November dwindle, the peaceful atmosphere is slowly shattered by fighting and becomes increasingly tense.

  The first to take action was the yy great author You Shui Yi Huang. On the 15th, You Shui Yi Huang released a single chapter in the related works of his work "Qing Yi Men".

  "This month has already passed halfway, and the Qing Yi Men is currently ranked eighth in the monthly ticket rankings. I thought that after last month's top gods competed for the monthly ticket rankings, this month would let go, but unexpectedly, the battle of the top gods will continue. And You Shui also collided with two other great gods' books, and even a new author who wants to fight against the gods emerged, making this month's monthly ticket competition unprecedentedly cruel. However, if a new author dares to compete, why shouldn't I? You Shui admits that compared to the top gods, there is a gap, but what does that matter? You Shui still wants to compete. Here, I'll open a single chapter and ask for monthly tickets from my brothers and sisters in the You Alliance. You Shui promises here that if the monthly tickets increase by 500, he will add one more update, with no upper limit!"

  The effect of You Shui Yi Huang's single chapter is very obvious. The next day, the monthly ticket count for "Qing Yi Men" surged sharply, rising all the way to fifth place on the monthly ticket chart, just behind the top three and another book, surpassing two other big-hit works that were also released this month. Moreover, the number of votes is infinitely close to fourth place, and it's only a matter of time before it exceeds fourth place.

  Of course, You Shui Yi Huang also fulfilled his promise in the single chapter and started to update more according to the increase in monthly votes. For a time, the momentum of Qingyi Gate's monthly vote surge was even more fierce. Of course, compared to the three supreme gods, the number of votes is still somewhat different.

  To know, these three high-ranking gods only spoke at the beginning of the month that they would compete for the list this month. For half a month, there has been no request for votes, but their monthly votes have continued to rise, which is the foundation of the high-ranking gods.

  Seeing the momentum of "Qing Yi Men", two other top authors, Ao Wu Ya and Zhan Ge, couldn't sit still and started posting single chapters to solicit votes. Their works "Su Yi Ren Sheng" and "Wu Ying Jue" quickly rose in the monthly vote rankings, respectively climbing to fourth and fifth place, while "Qing Yi Men" fell back to sixth place. In front of them, it was still the works of the three top gods.

  At this point, the works of three top authors have started to show a neck-and-neck situation on the monthly ticket chart. One moment I surpass you, and immediately you surpass me again, with the three works constantly rotating in the 4th, 5th, and 6th positions on the monthly ticket chart.

  Of course, with the start of the three-person war, the number of monthly votes also increased significantly, and it is now very close to the difference between the third-ranked "Till High God Dog Biting Dog" work "Deng Gao", and even surpassed it for a short time.

  The three supreme gods still didn't make any move at this moment, because they all knew that the real start of the war had not yet arrived, and it was still a bit too early.

  And "Shooting God" which claims to be a rival of Warframe, is currently unknown in ranking and has no chart.

  Although the collection of "The Legend of Archery" has been steadily increasing over the past few days, and the subscription results have already broken through 200,000, the monthly ticket growth is a bit slow. Half a month has passed, and "The Legend of Archery" hasn't even entered the top ten in the monthly ticket rankings, with a astronomical number of votes difference from the first place. Lu Li is starting to get anxious at this time. However, Lu Li doesn't know where the reason lies, logically speaking, with the support of Liu Xiaowen and others, the monthly ticket results shouldn't be so poor.

  At night, Lu Li looked at the monthly ticket list and saw that three great works had already started to kill each other fiercely. He opened the "Separation" group and asked: "Is everyone here? Now the monthly ticket results of "The Archery" are dismal, does anyone know the reason why? Can you help come up with a solution?"

  "Hmm, actually, it's a matter of foundation. You don't pay much attention to book reviews, so you don't know that the people who reward you are basically just a few, and the amount they reward is far less than what the big shots and top gods receive. So, relying on these people alone, the monthly vote ranking doesn't look optimistic." Mosquito replied. She was in charge of the book review section and was more familiar with the rewarding situation.

  Lu Li was still a bit puzzled by this answer and asked: "But my subscription is not bad, it has already broken through 200,000, almost as good as the great god, right?"

  "Hmm, Lu Li, I think you're overthinking this. Reading web novels is relatively cheap, subscribing to a chapter only costs a few cents, and 'The Archer' is an extremely good book, naturally someone will spend money to read it." This answer was given by Xin Cai Mi Qing, a person who has been reading web novels for many years.

  After clapping for "The Legend of the Condor Hero" for a bit, Xin Cai Qing continued: "Spending money to read books doesn't necessarily mean these readers will spend more money to reward or vote for Da Da. This is also what Miao Zi said about the problem of foundation - those big shots' readers are willing to reward and vote, and behind each big shot there are many wealthy readers."

  "As soon as the words were spoken, this milk also said: "Don't look at our fan group developing very quickly now, but the loyal fans are estimated to be less than 10,000 people in total. More people only spend money to watch and don't reward or vote for the month, so the cohesion is much worse compared to the big gods. You know that their readers all have their own fan groups, with extremely high cohesion. Although many of us are working hard now, advertising 'The Eagle Shooting Heroes' everywhere, it's still very scattered."

  At that time, other people in the group also expressed their agreement with this statement. After all, it's something that can be seen at a glance. "The Legend of Mi Yue" is very popular and has many fans, but many people are not enthusiastic about competing for the monthly ticket chart.

  Lu Li looked at the responses from these people in the group, and for a moment, her confusion was cleared up. However, she still furrowed her brow, wondering if her high-profile announcement about going to war with Shen Yi's "Above the Gods" would become a joke after all?

  Looking at Lu Li for a long time without speaking, the mosquito hurriedly replied: "Lu Li, why don't you also open a single chapter to ask for votes? Just like the other three gods, use updates to ask for votes."

  Seeing the mosquito's proposal, Lu Li's depression finally alleviated a bit. He patted his forehead with his hand, wondering how he had forgotten this. Hadn't he stored so many drafts for just this occasion?

  "Um, okay, I'll try this method first." Lu Li replied in the group.

  Ludi was just about to close the chat and start writing, but Liu Xiaowen sent over a private message.

  "Boss Lu, I'd like to discuss something with you."

  "Huh, what's up, you say." Lu Li quickly replied.

  "It's like this, silence is precious you know? Originally he was also going to come and apply for the group leader position, but he's managing a not-so-small company, so he's very busy and didn't have time to take care of these things, so I recommended other people. I hope big brother can add him to the 'Bie Li' group."

  "Okay, no problem, you invite him to the group. By the way, thank him on my behalf, I rarely chat and haven't thanked him yet." Lu Li saw what Liu Xiaowen said and directly agreed.

  For this reader who directly gave "Fantasy City" a million yuan, Lu Li naturally knew that when he was recruiting the group owner, Lu Li had intended to give him a spot, but later saw that he didn't have this intention and instead recommended others, so he gave up.

  He didn't even add this person on YY, and unexpectedly, this person was managing a large company.

  "Hmm, this is a big local tyrant, haha." Liu Xiaowen saw that Lu Li had agreed and replied with a sentence.

  Lu Li stopped chatting and started writing the chapter to be sent out tomorrow. Whether it was for the boastful words he had previously spoken, or "The Legend of the Condor Hero", a classic wuxia novel that he exceptionally revered on this earth, Lu Li decided that he must strive, striving until his head was broken and bleeding, otherwise he would not be able to justify moving this work to Jin Dashao, nor would he be able to justify the opportunity for rebirth and the golden finger given by heaven, even more so, he would not be able to justify the support of fans like Liu Xiaowen.

  Many people on the internet have already forgotten that there is a book called "The Archer" with good results, and all their attention has been focused on the struggle between the top few gods and the highest god in the monthly ticket rankings.

  And on Tianya Forum, there are people posting updates and predictions about the latest developments of the monthly ticket rankings every day.

  But without exception, no one mentions "The Shooting Star" anymore. In fact, this is not surprising, and on the monthly ticket PK list, you have to flip back several pages to find "The Shooting Star".

  Yuan Xiaodong was also paying close attention to the latest news on the monthly ticket chart, but as time passed, his heart grew cooler. Looking at his own betting post where over 1,000 people had bet that "The Legend of the Condor Hero" wouldn't make it into the top ten, he realized that he would have to pay out thousands of yuan when the time came, and this time it really was a painful blow.

  As for what Lu Li and the people in the "parting" group chatted about, only a handful of people knew, and "The Eagle Shooting Heroes" had also slowly faded out of people's sight.

  Lu Li saved the new chapter she had written and prepared to send it out tomorrow. After finishing these tasks, Lu Li shut down her computer and started pestering Gao Mu to teach her how to play the guitar again. The monthly ticket battle was important, but Lu Li didn't want to disrupt her own plans because of it.

  Ludi's guitar learning has also been going on for almost a month. Takagi told Ludi that in at most half a month, the basic things would be completely taught to Ludi. Unless Ludi wants to learn more about the guitar. So in another half a month, what's left for Ludi is to practice and get familiar with guitar skills.

  As for the piano, Lu Li currently doesn't have time to start learning. After all, he has to code at night, attend classes and study in the library during the day, and even weekends are already scheduled with performance training classes. Learning guitar is also because it's more convenient to learn in the dormitory. So, the piano can only be pushed back for now.
