Back to 1997, I became the originator of online literature

Chapter 425 One Alliance Leader After Another Appears
Then, I saw two new data entries added to the middle of the page for "The Romance of Chinese Martial Arts".

One statistic is the number of monthly votes—188.
Another statistic is the number of people who tipped this week: 16.

Below the number of people who have given tips, there is also a scrolling list of tipping information.

For example, Stardust rewarded the moon with 500 Qidian coins.

Seven Stars Electric gave a reward of 1000 Qidian coins.

Evil Child Liu Yidao donated 10000 Qidian coins.

and many more.

These are considered relatively large donations; most donations are 100 Qidian coins.

Even so, it's still surprising that 16 people have already given tips to "The Legend of Chinese Martial Arts" since the tipping function was just launched today.

So many readers are willing to give tips?

Have any of my readers given me a tip?
The author had this idea in his mind, excitedly opened the page of his own work, and quickly scrolled to the page for monthly tickets and reward information.

result?

Monthly pass count: 3.
0 people have given a tip.
The smile that had just appeared on her face froze on her face.

After a long pause, he finally managed to utter a single word: "Damn!"

……

As time goes by, more and more people have noticed that Qidian has added a bestseller list, a new book monthly ticket list, and a reward function.

Many people have noticed that the top spot on both lists is occupied by the same book – "The Romance of Chinese Martial Arts".

The second-ranked book is Lao Zhu's "Nine Sons".

The third place goes to Rosemary's "Flirting Scholar".

The emergence of these two lists has not only attracted the attention of many authors, but also tens of thousands of readers.

As everyone knows, Qidian has launched paid reading, and these two lists include the best-selling paid works.

There's a common psychological phenomenon: although many readers dislike Qidian's paid reading model, they subconsciously believe that the quality of paid works is definitely higher than that of free works.

Under this psychological influence, many readers can't help but try reading the works on the bestseller list and the new book monthly pass list.

As a result, some observant people noticed that the data for the works on these two lists seems to be growing very rapidly today.

For example: number of clicks, recommendation votes, number of people who have favorited the content, number of monthly votes, number of people who have given tips, etc.

Any data that can be seen shows that its growth rate is significantly faster than that of works on other lists, sometimes even much faster.

The authors of these works have naturally noticed that their works have seen a significant increase in various metrics today.

Like an old pig.

He was initially quite disappointed with the subscription numbers for his novel "Nine Sons" after it was released. He didn't expect that with over 50,000 favorites, he would only get a little over 1,000 subscribers.

I felt really bad.

But when he logged on at noon today, he saw that the number of people who had collected his book had increased by more than 700, and the number of subscribers for each chapter seemed to have increased by more than 100.

The monthly pass count has exceeded 300, and 22 people have given tips. A rough calculation shows that the tips received this morning alone have exceeded 180 yuan.

I immediately felt energized.

Their eyes brightened considerably.

I thought to myself: This amount of donations is great! If I received this many donations every day, even if I had fewer subscribers, I could still earn a lot of royalties, right?
Out of curiosity, he clicked on Zhongyuan Yidianhui's "The Romance of Chinese Martial Arts".

It has been noted that the monthly ticket count for "The Legend of Chinese Martial Arts" has exceeded 1700.

The number of people who have given tips is already 88.

Although most of them tipped 100 Qidian coins, quite a few people tipped 500, 1000, or even more than 2000 Qidian coins.

He actually saw 7 readers who tipped him 10000 Qidian coins.

One person even tipped 50000 Qidian coins.

"so much?"

His eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

He had thought he had already received a lot of donations, but he never expected that the number of donations in "The Romance of Chinese Martial Arts" would reach this level.

How much is 50000 Qidian coins? Someone's actually willing to tip that? 50000 Qidian coins... maybe 500 yuan?

Are there any readers that rich?

While he was lost in thought, his fingers unconsciously manipulated the mouse and clicked to refresh the page. Surprisingly, a donation record of 100000 Qidian coins appeared on the refreshed page.

1000 yuan?
He was stunned.

Suddenly I felt my hand was acting strangely. Why did I refresh the page? Why did I refresh it? Wasn't I just asking for trouble?
He thought for a moment, then went back to the pages of his book, "Nine Sons," and refreshed the page to see if there were any surprises.

A little surprise appeared.

Two more people will donate.

However, the two extra ones don't seem to be donations of more than 1000 Qidian coins, and there's no sign of a donation of 100000 Qidian coins.

……

When Cao Sheng gave Baojianfeng his suggestion, he said that the reward amounts could be set at 100 Qidian coins, 588 Qidian coins, etc.

However, when Baojianfeng actually executed the command, all the values ​​were set to integers.

Such as 100 Qidian Coins, 500 Qidian Coins, 1000 Qidian Coins, etc.

……

A situation similar to the original timeline appeared before many people's eyes.

In the original timeline, when Qidian first launched the tipping function, although the industry was full of criticism, it did not affect the enthusiasm of readers who were not short of money to tip.

Some readers tip a book simply out of curiosity.

The first batch of readers who gave tips made quite a splash.

The readers who tipped the most were remembered by many readers and authors across the site, becoming the "tycoons" in many people's eyes.

He has become a celebrity in many book review sections.

Readers who donate small amounts are usually thanked by name at the end of the chapter, and this novel experience further stimulates the interest of many readers in donating.

Just like today, while many people are still debating whether anyone will actually tip, the number of tippers for Cao Sheng's new book "The Romance of Chinese Martial Arts" is already rising rapidly.

Although most people only tipped 100 or 200 Qidian coins, the number of people tipping was very large.

There are quite a few people who tip 1000, 2000, or even 5000 or 10000 Qidian coins.

After all, his book has far more subscribers than other works released at the same time.

Five days after its release, the highest number of subscribers for a single chapter of this book has risen to over 7300.

The total number of collectors has also increased from 108,000 when it was first released to more than 120,000.

With so many readers, it's perfectly normal that hundreds of people enthusiastically gave rewards on the first day that Qidian launched the reward function.

Among them are many wealthy readers.

For example, the first person to tip 100000 Qidian coins was "Royal Sword Descends to Hell".

After donating 100000 Qidian coins, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms: Swordsmanship" topped the fan rankings for the novel, and his name was followed by the title "Alliance Leader."

The book review section for "The Romance of Chinese Martial Arts" also became lively.

Firstly, as long as you tip 50000 or more Qidian coins at once, a notice in red font will appear in the book review section, which is very eye-catching.

Secondly, many people are discussing in the book review section whether "Rowing to Hell on a Sword" is the first alliance leader to appear on Qidian.
Magic City.

Inside a nicely decorated internet cafe.

The young man, whose online name was "Royal Sword to Hell," smiled as he looked at the posts discussing him in the book review section of "The Romance of Chinese Martial Arts."

I'm in a great mood.

Unlike most readers who oppose Qidian's introduction of paid reading, he has been ridiculed by his friends since he became obsessed with reading novels in the past two years. They say that reading novels is a form of entertainment for poor people, especially reading novels online, which is the cheapest form of entertainment.

Because it's free!

What angered him the most was that when he occasionally posted in the book review section to discuss the plot of the book, he was not only always refuted, but also often ridiculed, and he was not respected at all.

This left him feeling quite uncomfortable. Because in reality, aside from his friends from similar backgrounds, who would dare speak to him like that? Who would dare disrespect him?

But ever since he became fond of online novels, he has never received any respect in the book review sections.

Just very unhappy.

So when Qidian announced the launch of paid reading, he was quite happy, thinking: Hurry up and launch paid reading! It would be best to have some kind of platinum membership or black card membership to show off the status of readers who read genuine works.

result……

He was quite disappointed with the membership tiers introduced by Qidian.

The highest rank is only a premium membership.

He had no chance to show off his wealth, even if he wanted to.

Until today, I saw that Qidian has launched a tipping function again.

His eyes lit up immediately.

He smiled, especially when he saw that the highest reward amount was 100000 Qidian coins.

I thought to myself: Although it's still a bit petty, it should be able to distinguish me from the average reader.

With this mindset, he immediately recharged his membership, spending 1000 yuan in one go and exchanging it for 100000 Qidian coins.

Then he donated all the money to "The Romance of Chinese Martial Arts".

Sure enough, after spending 1000 yuan on the tip, he finally distinguished himself from most ordinary readers. Not only did a notice appear in the book review section in big red font, but the words "Alliance Leader" were also added after his username on the fan list.

Most importantly—many people in the book review section are discussing him.

For example: "Flying down to hell on a sword, he must be the first alliance leader on the entire site, right? He's damn rich!"

"Flying down to hell on a sword! Do you still need friends?"

"So fast, even the alliance leader has appeared, this is absolutely outrageous!"

"So, someone who was reading this book with me is so rich? They just gave the author a thousand yuan as a tip?"

"Can anyone tell me what the motivation is for tipping the leader of the alliance? Is it because they have so much money they don't know what to do with it?"

……

and many more.

Seeing this made him feel indescribably comfortable.

He posted a thread in the book review section, just to give it a try.

"Supporting Zhongyuan Yidianhui! I'll give you a small reward as a token of my respect!"

After the post was published.

He kept refreshing the page, eager to see how others would comment.

Will you still disrespect me?
Soon, he saw a completely different treatment than before.

A few moments later, his post received many more replies.

1st floor: "Holy crap! A tycoon has appeared!"

2nd floor: "Little Alliance Leader, no need for formalities? Are you that rich?"

3rd floor: "Flying Sword to Hell, I think I criticized you before, my apologies!"

4th floor: "Leader! What does your family do? How come you're so rich?"

5th Floor: "Flying to Hell on a Sword, you're so rich, why are you still reading novels? Are clubs not fun anymore? Or are the beauties not sexy anymore?"

……

respect!

Finally, in these comments, Yujianxiaheji finally felt respected.

Even if these book lovers only respect his money, it still makes him feel good.

Finally, no one treated him like a nobody anymore.

……

Another city.

A netizen with the online name "Evil Child Liu Yidao" was also browsing the book review section of "The Romance of Chinese Martial Arts".

Naturally, they also witnessed the glory of the alliance leader "Royal Sword to Hell" in the book review section.

"The first alliance leader on Qidian?"

He muttered to himself, his eyes darting around.

Seeing the praise from other readers for this alliance leader in the post by Yu Jianxia Diyu, Xie Tong Liu Yidao felt a little tempted.

He's not short of money either.

This morning I also tipped "The Legend of Chinese Martial Arts" 10000 Qidian coins, worth 100 yuan.

When he tipped "The Romance of Chinese Martial Arts" 100 yuan, he didn't think much about it. He just felt that the works of Zhongyuan Yidianhui in recent years had brought him a lot of joy and emotion, and added a lot of fun to his dull life.

So he wanted to casually tip 100 yuan to express his support and gratitude.

Who would have thought that a leader who tipped 1000 yuan could be so glamorous?

Is it true that giving a 1000 yuan tip will get you so much praise?
really?
I'll give it a try!

Thinking this, he started to recharge his account. He first recharged 900 yuan, thinking that he had already tipped 100 yuan in the morning. With another 900 yuan, he should be able to get the title of "Alliance Leader".

but……

He then thought: If I give more tips, my ranking on the fan list will be above that of Yujianxiadihe.
At that time, it should be even more glorious than flying a sword to hell?

With that thought in mind, he recharged his account with another 100.
Then he donated all the money to "The Romance of Chinese Martial Arts".

Soon, his donation information appeared in the donation section of "The Legend of Chinese Martial Arts".

A notice in red text also appeared in the book review section.

Very conspicuous.

However... there seems to be a delay in the information on the fan ranking; his username hasn't been shown to be at the top of the fan ranking yet.

But when he opened the full fan list, he saw his username at the top of the list.

As expected, he trampled the sword-wielding hell technique under his feet.

This scene made him smile, and he felt incredibly pleased.

……

"Another alliance leader has emerged?"

After such a post appeared in the book review section, many people quickly noticed that "The Romance of Chinese Martial Arts" had indeed produced another leader.

This scene not only shocked many fans of the novel "The Romance of Chinese Martial Arts".

It also deeply affected the hearts of many authors and readers on the Qidian website.

Even many authors, editors, and readers on other websites were deeply affected.

Because all these people are paying attention to Qidian's paid reading, and among the first batch of works released on Qidian, undoubtedly... Zhongyuan Yidianhui's "The Romance of Chinese Martial Arts" is the most popular.

Therefore, when two leaders appeared in succession in "The Romance of Chinese Martial Arts", many people were stunned, as well as the readers' financial resources.

Many people have always assumed that people who read novels are poor.

It wasn't until they saw that two leaders had appeared in "The Romance of Chinese Martial Arts" so quickly that many people realized that while most readers of the novel might not be wealthy, some of them were quite rich.

1000 yuan... Many office workers don't even earn 1000 yuan a month.

However, in the case of "The Romance of Chinese Martial Arts," some people tipped the author without even blinking an eye.

Just how rich are these two readers?
Just as everyone was still discussing the two leaders of "The Legend of Chinese Martial Arts", news suddenly came from "Nine Sons" - "Nine Sons" also has a leader.

Before everyone could fully react...

More news has arrived—a new leader has emerged in the "Fengyue" community.

One by one, wealthy readers, seemingly unwilling to be left out, spontaneously leaped out of the water, attracting countless onlookers and gasps of amazement.
