Back to 1997, I became the originator of online literature

Chapter 506 Ahri's Advertisement Goes Live
However, this was the time when Cao Sheng was writing in the afternoon.

Therefore, no one answered when William Zhu dialed the number.

In fact, before Zhu Weilian dialed Cao Sheng's number, he knew that Cao Sheng would most likely not answer the phone at this time.

He already knew roughly what time Cao Sheng was writing each day.

He was just a little impatient and, with a bit of wishful thinking, tried dialing Cao Sheng's number.

"As expected, it wasn't answered..."

Zhu Weilian chuckled self-deprecatingly, took the phone away from his ear, thought for a moment, and then edited a message to send to Cao Sheng, hoping that Cao Sheng would see the message and call him back as soon as possible.

The creativity and quality of Cao Sheng's new book have somewhat exceeded his expectations.

He originally thought that Cao Sheng's new book was commissioned by Tencent, which was equivalent to writing an essay on a given topic. He was afraid that Cao Sheng would have difficulty writing anything new, and the quality would be questionable.

Unexpectedly, he was amazed after reading the first two chapters of "Cultivation Chat Group".

Is this a custom-made article?
Can customized articles be of this high quality?
With such a high-quality new book, he naturally wanted to get it published on his own website as soon as possible, even if it was published on both Qidian and other platforms, he wouldn't mind.

It's better than getting nothing at all.

……

Huizhou.

Cao Sheng sat in front of the computer, his eyes fixed on the document on the screen. His hands were rapidly typing on the keyboard. Although the speed at which he typed the keys hadn't increased, he could clearly feel that the text on the document was appearing much faster.

This seems like an impossible thing.

If the speed at which your fingers tap the keyboard hasn't increased, how could the speed at which text appears in the document be faster?

In fact, it is entirely possible.

Because when he used to type, he was used to spell out the pinyin of every single character. This can't be entirely blamed on him; it's just that he's learned pinyin so well that he can remember the complete pinyin of almost any Chinese character he's ever seen, and he can even remember the phonetic symbols correctly.

This is evident from the fact that he almost always got all the multiple-choice questions right on his Chinese language tests from junior high to high school.

But it was precisely because he was so good at pinyin.

Therefore, when he was learning to type, he developed the habit of typing each character in full pinyin.

For most people, typing every single character in full pinyin is probably difficult.

For Cao Sheng, however, it posed no challenge whatsoever.

However, spelling out every single letter of every word inadvertently slows down typing speed.

This is inevitable.

Today, he is consciously changing this habit.

He wanted to increase his word count per hour.

Otherwise, with two books being serialized simultaneously, he would need to spend far too much time writing every day.

Although he enjoys writing, he doesn't like being a writing machine every day, writing from morning till night, day after day.

Therefore, he decided to gradually change his typing habit of using full pinyin.

Of course, there are bound to be difficulties.

First of all, typing with full pinyin has become an instinct for him, and it's a bit difficult to overcome this instinct.

Secondly, if you don't type out the full pinyin of each character, it's difficult for the displayed text to accurately point to the character you want.

He is gradually adapting to his new typing habits.

Try to type several words at the same time. By reducing the number of letters, the resulting words will be more accurate.

After finishing a chapter, during a break, Cao Sheng drank tea while considering another question: Should he learn the Wubi typing method?

He had heard long ago that the Wubi typing method was very efficient, much more so than Pinyin.

He used to resist memorizing the Wubi input method radicals, feeling that they had no rules and required rote memorization to remember them.

But he really dislikes rote memorization.

but now……

The simultaneous serialization of two works made him want to learn the Wubi input method again.

However, he doesn't even have enough time to type every day, so he probably won't have much time to practice the Wubi input method.

I don't know how long I'll need to practice to improve my typing speed using the Wubi input method to the speed I can achieve with full Pinyin input.

He could only suppress this thought for the time being. After resting for a while, he continued writing the second chapter of the afternoon.

……

The same afternoon.

A passenger plane bound for Huizhou slowly landed at Huizhou Airport.

As the passenger plane came to a stop and the gangway was lowered, passengers lined up to disembark. Wang Zuxian, wearing a fisherman's hat and large sunglasses, descended the gangway unhurriedly, accompanied by her assistant.

As she got off the plane, she glanced twice in the direction of Huizhou Teachers College.

That's where Cao Sheng used to study.

She was originally attending a press conference for a certain brand in Guangzhou.

She accidentally saw the news online that Cao Sheng and Huang Qingya had broken up. She had always wanted to come to Huizhou to meet Cao Sheng, so she made up her mind and flew to Huizhou today.

However, she hasn't informed Cao Sheng yet.

She wanted to rest first so that she could appear before him in the best possible condition.

News reports of his rumored affair with Qian Zhenyu... Qian Zhenyu in the photos made Wang Zuxian feel pressured.

She's not young anymore, after all.

In her youth, she was very confident and unafraid to compete with any woman in terms of beauty.

but now?
Qian Zhenyu in the photo is so beautiful and so young.

Therefore, she planned to find a hotel to rest and recharge before coming to Huizhou, so that she could appear in front of Cao Sheng in her best condition.

Worried that I'm not pretty enough...

This feeling made her feel very conflicted.

When I was young, did I ever worry about this problem?
Back then, with her fair skin, beautiful face, and long legs, plus the added bonus of being the "most beautiful ghost" Nie Xiaoqian, female celebrities who weren't pretty enough didn't dare to stand next to her for photos.

But now she doesn't have the confidence she used to have.

As Wang Zuxian stepped out of the airport and got into a taxi, she looked out the window at the lush greenery and white-walled, gray-tiled houses... and her desire to successfully conceive as soon as possible grew stronger.

She felt the ruthlessness of time more deeply as she grew older.

She feared that if she delayed any longer, Cao Sheng would lose interest in her more and more.

She is even more worried that she is too old, and even if she successfully gets pregnant, she will not have enough time to watch her child grow up.

She wants to be a mother.

I want to watch my children grow up, see them get married and start their own careers, and see my grandchildren born...

What should a person pursue in this life?
What is the true meaning of life?
When she was around 20 years old, she believed in enjoying the wonders of the world, the process of gradually climbing to the top of the industry, and the sense of accomplishment of looking down on all the mountains after reaching the top.

Can……

As she grew older and her youth faded, her thinking gradually became more traditional.

I can't help but think: as a woman, only after experiencing marriage and childbirth can one's life be considered complete.

So, during those years, she longed to get married.

But ultimately it failed.

Now, inspired by Cao Sheng, she only wants to experience motherhood, and desires a child who bears some resemblance to her and carries her blood. ...

Huizhou Teachers College.

Sitting in the classroom, Tan Yu, who was giving a lecture, had her eyes on the blackboard, but her mind was wandering far away.

The rumors about Cao Sheng and Qian Zhenyu have been spreading widely online and at school these past two days. She already knows that a beautiful woman named Qian Zhenyu has appeared next to Cao Sheng.

It was also learned that Cao Sheng and Huang Qingya broke up during the Spring Festival this year.

Although she felt in her heart that Cao Sheng did not love her.

Or rather, it didn't rise to the level of love.

but……

Cao Sheng is currently single, which has made her unable to suppress some thoughts that she wouldn't have dared to have before.

He has to have a girlfriend, so why can't that girlfriend be me?
Although Qian Zhenyu is beautiful, I'm not bad either, am I?

Come to think of it, Qian Zhenyu's temperament is quite similar to mine.

Did Cao Sheng only get involved with this woman because she resembled me?

wrong!

The news report says that Qian Zhenyu was his high school classmate. If this news report is true, then…

Oh no! Could it be that Cao Sheng is with me because I resemble Qian Zhenyu in temperament?

Am I the replacement?

Upon considering this possibility, Tan Yu frowned, and her expression turned grim.

She didn't want to be a substitute for any woman.

A voice inside me seemed to say: So what if I'm her replacement? Who says a replacement can't rise to the top? If they were truly a good match, why would he be interested in me, a mere substitute?
If I can replace her once, I could potentially replace her forever!

So, after the second period in the afternoon, Tan Yu, who still had two more periods to go, packed up her books and notes and left the classroom quickly with a cold face.

She couldn't concentrate on the next two classes.

She was going to Cao Sheng's place.

She put on her newly bought sexy lingerie.

She wanted to make him feel so happy that he wouldn't want to leave, and that she was better than Qian Zhenyu.

……

Just as Tan Yu was returning her books and notes to her dormitory and preparing to change her underwear, the internet suddenly erupted like a spring breeze, with thousands of pear trees in full bloom.

The "pear blossom" here refers to the advertisement image featuring Ali (Ali).

Ali is almost replicating the advertising model that Tencent used before.

Even their spokesperson, like Tencent, is Cao Sheng.

Suddenly, an advertisement image appeared at the top of the homepage of one novel website after another; the same endorsement advertisement appeared on the homepage of one news website after another; and the advertisement for Ali appeared in the most prominent position on the homepage of one forum after another.

In the picture, Cao Sheng sits smiling behind a table with rows of express delivery packages on it. He holds out his arms to indicate the packages on the table, and a sentence is written in the shape of a megaphone next to his mouth: "I love online shopping! I love shopping on Alibaba!"

In an internet cafe in Cao Sheng's hometown county.

A young man saw an advertisement image on a gaming forum, looking at the gray figure of Cao Sheng in the image.

He knew that Zhongyuan Yidianhui was someone who had come from the local area.

Just then, he suddenly saw the advertisement featuring Cao Sheng. He chuckled and muttered to himself, "Zhongyuan Yidianhui... This guy is really doing well. He's even endorsing another advertisement. Impressive!"

……

Beijing.

The Third Young Master had just published a chapter of his draft through the Qidian author backend. He casually clicked on the webpage, which redirected him to the Qidian homepage, and immediately noticed that the advertisement content at the top of the Qidian homepage had changed.

Upon seeing Cao Sheng in the advertisement image, the Third Young Master curled his lip in exasperation.

I'm really jealous.

It seems like all the good things in the online literature world have fallen on Cao Sheng.

Even for advertising endorsements, they all hire Cao Sheng.

First, Tencent hired Cao Sheng to endorse QQ, and now Ali, an e-commerce company, has also hired Cao Sheng as its spokesperson.

Cao Sheng... was like a mountain, pressing down on him and the other writers.

I wonder how much longer Cao Sheng will suppress us?
Fortunately, his recently released book, "The Mad God," is doing well.

Over 1100 orders were placed in the first 24 hours.

With an average of over 10,000 words updated daily, the average number of subscriptions per chapter has been rising quite rapidly, currently reaching over 2400.

On the Qidian monthly ticket ranking and recommendation ranking, his own novel "Mad God" also made it into the top ten.

This gave him hope of getting ahead.

He hadn't expected that updating more than 10,000 words a day would have such a good effect on increasing the average number of subscribers. The faster he updated each day, the fewer readers he lost each day. In addition, with such a large number of updates, the website was giving his book better and better recommendation slots, which made him believe that the average number of subscriptions per chapter of his book could continue to rise.

"The short-term goal is to reach over 3000, and the medium-term goal... is to reach over 5000!"

In front of the computer.

The Third Young Master murmured to himself.

He had a strong desire to stand out from the crowd; he was unwilling to remain mediocre forever.

……

Xuan Yu also saw the Ali advertisement featuring Cao Sheng at this moment.

His new book, "The Legend of the Little Soldier," was released around the same time as Tang Jia San Shao's "The Mad God."

Before writing "The Legend of the Little Soldier," he had already written several similar works.

"The Legend of the Little Soldier" is a culmination of his experience and story framework from his previous works.

He had a premonition that the book would be a hit shortly after its publication.

Because the data for this book has grown much faster than his previous books.

And the facts did not disappoint him.

"The Legend of the Little Soldier" performed exceptionally well during its initial release period, once topping the Qidian New Book Chart. However, it was later dethroned by the rapidly updating "Mad God." Unwilling to accept this, he added several extra chapters and climbed back to the top of the New Book Chart.

Later, it took turns occupying the top spot on the new book charts along with "Mad God".

It far surpasses the third-ranked work in all aspects of the data.

When the game was released, "Legend of the Little Soldier" achieved the top spot in first-day subscription data among all games released at the same time.

Currently, his book is ranked in the top ten of Qidian's monthly ticket list, recommendation list, and weekly click list.

On the monthly ticket ranking, it even climbed to third place.

It is second only to Cao Sheng's "The Romance of Chinese Martial Arts" and Lao Zhu's "Nine Sons".

The name "Xuan Yu" has recently become synonymous with a rising star on Qidian.com.

But today, seeing Cao Sheng's image on the new advertisement on the Qidian homepage, Xuan Yu couldn't help but smile bitterly.

He thought to himself, "It seems that... I was able to get third place on the monthly ticket ranking because that's all I could get, while you, Zhongyuan Yidianhui... got first place on the monthly ticket ranking because the highest you can get on the monthly ticket ranking is first."

He stared at Cao Sheng's endorsement advertisement for a while, took a deep breath, closed the Qidian webpage, opened the document, gathered his emotions for a moment, and then began to seize the time to write.
