After the college entrance examination, life began to follow one's heart

Chapter 101 Daily Life, Two Outlines Collaboration, Novel Push Takes Off
At 5:30 in the afternoon, Ning Yuhan's part-time job was over.

After getting eighty yuan, Ning Yuhan came out holding Xu Lin's hand.

"Eighty dollars in hand!"

Ning Yuhan said happily, "Hubby, what do you want to eat? I'll treat you!"

"You decide!"

Xu Lin thought to himself, I can’t just say we’re having a big meal.

Ning Yuhan said she would treat everyone to this meal. It was money that the senior sister had saved bit by bit, so it wouldn't be a good idea for her to spend hundreds of dollars on a meal at once.

Unless you go to a small restaurant, two or three dishes may cost less than a hundred yuan, or at most a little over a hundred yuan, and Northeastern cuisine is famous for its large portions.

Xu Lin plans to take her out for a big meal next time.

Although he doesn't have a lot of money in his pocket now, there are hundreds of thousands of dollars lying there. If he just eats some delicious food, these hundreds of thousands of dollars can keep him fed for a long time.

Even if a meal costs several thousand yuan, it can last for a long time.

The next month, Xu Lin received his first payment of royalties, which was at least several hundred thousand yuan. This was all reward money, and the novel had not yet been put on the shelves.

Speaking of which, Xu Lin recently saw king crabs while watching short videos.

He wants to try king crab sometime.

The senior student is frugal and can’t stand eating too expensively, and she also feels sorry for Xu Lin’s money.

The two people have completely different consumption concepts.

"Then let's walk around and see what to eat!"

Ning Yuhan hugged Xu Lin's hand.

The two came to a nearby shopping mall.

This is not a bustling urban area, but another urban area of ​​Jiangdu, so this shopping mall is not luxurious, but it has a strong atmosphere of life.

At this time in the afternoon, office workers have already left work, and many people have come out with their families, making the atmosphere more lively.

Ning Yuhan was treating everyone tonight, so she took Xu Lin into the mall.

She walked around and saw quite a few restaurants.

"How about we have hot pot?"

Ning Yuhan looked expectantly.

Xu Lin smiled and said, "Hot pot costs more than eighty!"

"three hundred!"

Ning Yuhan held up three fingers, indicating that she would spend three hundred yuan to treat the meal.

"Three hundred, are you sure?"

"Absolutely true!"

"Then it's a deal, Senior Sister!"

"At least you won't be hungry!"

The two then entered this Chaoshan beef hotpot restaurant.

Hotpot is the same everywhere in the country, basically the same, it just depends on whether the beef is real.

Xu Lin and his friends ordered a shabu-shabu hotpot, four plates of beef, a serving of beef balls, and some other side dishes.

Most of the food was eaten by Xu Lin, and Ning Yuhan couldn't eat much either.

Fortunately, the beef in this hot pot restaurant tastes pretty good, at least it is not low-quality beef.

When we checked out, the total was 326.

When Xu Lin saw Ning Yuhan pay the bill, he leaned over and asked, "Do you feel any pain in your flesh?"

"No! I feel very happy!"

Ning Yuhan took Xu Lin's hand and said, "As a couple, you should pay a little and I should pay a little. Otherwise, I don't feel good if you always pay the most."

Xu Lin also didn’t know whether Ning Yuhan was the so-called treasure girl on the Internet.

As night falls, the lights are on.

After coming out of the mall, the two of them shopped for another half an hour.

Finally, Xu Lin found a hotel nearby. The price was just over 500 yuan, about the same as the last time, but the room was bigger. Xu Lin also thought the decoration and layout were nice, so he chose this one.

"Honey, do you think I smell like hot pot?"

After Ning Yuhan came in, she sniffed her clothes and felt that they smelled like hot pot.

"Can you smell me?"

Xu Lin asked Ning Yuhan to come over and smell it.

Ning Yuhan shook her head: "You still have that fragrance!"

Ning Yuhan had met Xu Lin before and knew that Xu Lin had a very special scent, fragrant and charming. She would feel particularly safe and comfortable if she held Xu Lin in her arms while sleeping.

“Does it taste like hot pot?”

"no!"

Ning Yuhan shook her head again and asked Xu Lin to ask her if she smelled like hot pot.

Xu Lin leaned in and smelled it.

"A little!"

"what!"

Ning Yuhan quickly said, "Then I'll go take a shower first!"

Ning Yuhan also likes cleanliness, and she got scared when she heard Xu Lin say that he smelled like hot pot.

"Senior, I was just kidding. It really doesn't taste like hot pot."

"No, I need to take a shower!"

"Okay, then hurry up and take a shower. I'll wait for you!"

"Big pervert!"

Ning Yuhan glared at him.

Xu Lin smiled and said nothing.

Although Ning Yuhan is a girl, she is not as slow as other girls in taking a shower. For example, Chi Linyue seems to take more than half an hour to take a shower.

Oh, and there’s my mother, Ms. Ren.

Xu Lin remembered that Ms. Ren would always take a shower for more than half an hour.

This is a question that Xu Lin, as a boy, has never figured out since he was a child.

You know, for boys, ten minutes is considered too long for a shower, but when the weather is cold, it may only take one or two minutes, just a rinse.

However, we must first exclude the special group of bathroom singers.

Ning Yuhan took a quick shower and came out in about ten minutes.

When Ning Yuhan came out, she saw Xu Lin already naked and lying against the head of the bed.

Ning Yuhan just took a look and her pretty face turned red. She covered her face with her hands as if by reflex.

Let’s talk about what Ning Yuhan is wearing at this moment.

She had her long hair tied up and was wrapped in a bath towel, revealing her beautiful swan neck, delicate collarbone and white shoulders.

At this moment, Ning Yuhan was as beautiful as a lotus emerging from water, charming and attractive.

Xu Lin didn't say anything, just patted his thigh.

Hearing the sound of Xu Lin slapping his thigh, Ning Yuhan was still covering her cheek, but she had moved over and finally climbed onto the bed.

Xu Lin slapped his thigh and asked Ning Yuhan to come over.

However, as soon as Ning Yuhan crawled to the side, Xu Lin reached out and pulled her over. With Ning Yuhan's exclamation, Ning Yuhan was pulled into Xu Lin's arms, and the bath towel on her body fell off at this moment.

Ning Yuhan was so scared that she wanted to wrap the bath towel around herself again, but she saw Xu Lin throw the bath towel aside.

"Xu Lin!"

Ning Yuhan pursed her lips and frowned, looking like a cute angry child.

"Call my husband!"

"Xu Lin!"

"Senior sister, if you call Xu Lin again, I will force you to call me brother!"

"husband!"

Ning Yuhan immediately backed off.

Because Xu Lin would do bad things to her while asking her to call him brother, Ning Yuhan of course never called him brother. And because of this, Xu Lin never gave up his evil intentions.

"Haha...senior sister, sooner or later you will call me brother!"

"No, I won't shout!"

"Don't worry, take your time, you will shout sooner or later!"

Xu Lin put his arms around Ning Yuhan, looked at her and said, "Let's go to bed late tonight. Tomorrow is Sunday."

Ning Yuhan closed her eyes, said nothing, but nodded.

Xu Lin didn't say anything else and immediately kissed her.

Ning Yuhan's face was flushed.

"I want to try the same thing as last time." Xu Lin whispered.

Xu Lin has always been obsessed with this.

Ning Yuhan glared at Xu Lin with her beautiful eyes.

"Then close your eyes!"

"Isn't this just like trying to cover up one's mistakes and stealing the bell?"

Xu Lin didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Ning Yuhan covered his eyes.

Ning Yuhan just couldn't let go.

Oh, and she turned off the lights.

However, the bathroom light was on, so the light in the room seemed quite dim.

But at this moment, the figure swayed...

Time quickly came to the next day.

Today is Sunday, and the two of them didn't go to bed until after two o'clock last night.

Because she had been busy for too long, Ning Yuhan was exhausted and didn't wake up until after seven o'clock.

Her biological clock usually wakes up around six o'clock, so waking up after seven o'clock is really beyond the limit.

So she quickly woke Xu Lin up.

After they finished washing up, they checked out at around nine o'clock.

After eating something in the morning, Xu Lin accompanied Ning Yuhan to a large Xinhua Bookstore nearby to read.

Ning Yuhan picked up a copy of "Walden" to read.

Where is Xu Lin?
He wandered around the bookstore and finally brought back a book called "Poetry Appreciation" by a great man.

It is about five centimeters thick, and the front has some photos and calligraphy of great men.

Xu Lin couldn't understand calligraphy, but he thought of an idiom.

flamboyant?

It is this feeling.

Then he turned to the formal poetry section.

"He Xinlang·Farewell to a Friend", "Qinyuanchun·Changsha", "Nian Nujiao·Kunlun"...

Xu Lin did not read the appreciation content, but simply looked at the poems themselves. Ms. Ren asked him to recite poems when he was a child, and he did not need to read the explanations or even the appreciation. She just asked him to recite them, saying that when he reached a certain age, Xu Lin would understand these poems by himself.

When Xu Lin was a child, he memorized a lot of poems, such as 300 Tang poems and 300 Song poems.

However, Xu Lin had long forgotten it, though he remembered bits and pieces, like the previous sentence but not the next. Soon, with his exceptional memory, Xu Lin memorized all the poems in the book.

"Meeting is fate, buy a copy!"

Xu Lin looked at the price.

99 yuan.

The price is acceptable.

"Senior, are you buying books?"

Xu Lin saw Ning Yuhan still reading "Walden".

It was said to be from a famous book, but no one knew what it was about. Xu Lin was not interested in these famous books.

Ning Yuhan nodded, "I want to buy this one!"

She looked at the price, 78 yuan.

"Then buy this one together with mine later!"

Xu Lin suddenly had an idea, "Which other book do you want to buy? Let's buy them together!"

Ning Yuhan looked at the bookshelf in front of her and pointed at one of the books: "I also want to buy a copy of 'The Biography of Lin Huiyin'!"

"Okay, take it, I'll give it to you later."

Xu Lin also looked to see what other books he could buy.

He looked around.

The great man's "On Protracted War"?
It's a very thin book, and not very big.

Xu Lin took it away.

I've heard of its name before, but never took a look at its contents.

When leaving later, Xu Lin paid for Ning Yuhan's two books together, which totaled more than two hundred yuan.

In the afternoon, Ning Yuhan also went to correct homework, and Xu Lin still accompanied her.

Today, the boy who asked Xu Lin if he smoked Liqun also came. There were four boys in total at the scene, all of whom came to accompany their girlfriends.

It’s just that the three of them had to help their girlfriends correct their homework, so Xu Lin didn’t have to, so he just sat there playing with his phone.

Xu Lin definitely didn't have the patience for a part-time job like this, which involved grading homework. It was just repetitive and boring.

Eighty yuan for an afternoon is not too much, but not too little either. Many college students may not have fifteen hundred yuan for living expenses per month. There are thirty days in a month, which means that the average daily expenses of many college students are less than fifty yuan. It is not so bad in ordinary cities, but this is Jiangdu, a super first-tier city, and the price level is different from other cities.

But precisely because making money is not easy, Ning Yuhan enjoys saving money.

Night soon fell and nothing happened during the class meeting.

After the class meeting, Xu Lin went straight back to the dormitory.

He first logged into his secondary account.

In fact, Asura and Shifang had already submitted the manuscript last night and revised it according to Xu Lin's requirements.

Xu Lin then came online and after receiving the file, he started to read it.

Both of their manuscripts were much better than yesterday's. Xu Lin saw that there were a lot of revisions compared to yesterday, at least they were not minor revisions.

“It seems like they’re taking it very seriously.”

"Let me think about it..."

Xu Lin began to think about it.

Asura and Shifang on the other side were also waiting. After they finished the manuscript last night, they discussed and studied it with each other for a long time. They sent it to Xu Lin only after they felt that there was no problem. Then they waited until now. They also knew that Xu Lin was not often online.

After an agonizing wait, I finally received the notification from Xu Lin that he had received the documents.

The two were excited and nervous.

This feeling is just like how they felt when they were waiting for the college entrance examination results to be released. Every second felt like a year.

Finally, after more than ten minutes, both of them received the message.

Xu Lin replied uniformly: "Okay, passed."

"I'm so stupid, I passed!"

"We're taking off!"

The two of them were chatting privately, both very excited, sending voice messages one after another, and their words were so excited that they were incoherent.

Shifang: "Thank you, Big Boss!"

Ashura: "Thank you, big man! I bow down to you.jpg"

Reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles, and traveling ten thousand miles is not as good as having a noble person to guide you.

Reading thousands of books corresponds to learning theory.

Travel thousands of miles and practice accordingly.

It is very clear if there is a noble person to guide you. Without anyone to guide you, most people will stumble and fall, and half of their life will have passed in a daze. Looking back, they still have accomplished nothing, but they have wasted half their life and will never have another chance.

Now, for people like Shifang and the others, passing Xu Lin's test is equivalent to becoming a true disciple in fantasy novels, and they are destined to have a bright future.

Xu Lin didn't waste any time and sent them two outlines.

Shifang is a high-level martial arts outline, and Asura is a fantasy outline.

Xu Lin replied in unison: "Take a look and reply to me later."

It was the first time for both of them to see Xu Lin's outline. There were also Toudao and Wu Chengfeng in the group who had Xu Lin's outline, but they hadn't read it either. Now they could finally see the real thing.

This kind of outline is useless to authors of average level, as they won't be able to give full play to their work. However, if an author has a certain level of talent, such as Shifang, they will be able to see the level of the work.

Shifang privately chatted with Ashura: "This outline here is amazing! This is the first time I've had a direct understanding of the idiom 'perfectly flawless'!"

Ashura: "Me too, this is the first time I've seen a big boss's outline. It's amazing, truly interconnected. Even just looking at the outline makes me excited. This story has such a strong storyline!"

In the field of online literature, content is king. Having fun is one thing, but the story must also be good to win the market.

"There are also many new settings that I haven't seen in all the years I've been reading the book. I think it might even start a new trend!"

"The big boss gave me this outline, and it feels like a textbook. I wonder if I can write it well?"

"Do your best! Not to mention Afeng, Toudao is also making progress and will soon be ahead of us. If we don't work hard, we'll just have to look up to them!"

The two chatted for a while and then replied to Xu Lin.

"Master, I will do my best!"

"Master, I will try my best!"

They both changed their words in tacit agreement.

Xu Lin didn't say anything and sent the contract to the two of them.

The unified reply is: "Print it out, make two copies, and send them to this address. I will have someone send you a copy later."

The address is Ms. Ren’s law firm, and all of this was arranged with the help of Ms. Ren.

Xu Lin sent another message to Ms. Ren to remind her.

"Two copies at once?"

Ms. Ren was curious.

Xu Lin: "Ms. Ren, I will be rich next year. When I have enough money, I will buy you a big villa in Jiangdu and find you sixty, seventy, eighty, ninety beautiful daughters-in-law!"

"Why not the manor?"

"Ms. Ren, I'll buy you a manor when the time comes! Struggle.jpg"

"You're so young and you're already drawing cakes! Picking your nose.jpg"

Ren Yan couldn't understand Xu Lin's way of making money. The main reason was that she didn't know much about the online literature industry, and she also didn't understand Xu Lin's abilities.

But this little bastard only earns a few hundred thousand now, and he says he's rich enough to buy a villa.

Ren Yan didn't take it to heart. As a mother, she knew her son was not a serious person.

Ms. Ren replied, “Okay, I’ll help you get the contract done when the time comes!”

Ms. Ren didn't know that Xu Lin would soon become famous in the entire online literature circle.

After finishing the chat with Shifang and the others, Xu Lin opened QQ again.

Yesterday afternoon, Ranzhi said that "My 26-Year-Old Miss Maybach" would be streamed on short video at 6 pm. I don't know what happened now.

Xu Lin’s chapters these days are scheduled, but he hasn’t even logged into the writer’s backend, so he doesn’t know what’s going on.

After logging into QQ, Xu Lin clicked on the chat interface of Ranzhi.

From yesterday till now, Ranzhi has received more than forty messages.

Xu Lin took a glance.

The meaning is just one thing: the short video of Xu Lin’s book is very popular.

Mr. Xu: “Just came online.”

Random finger: "!!!"

Ranzhi: "Mr. Xu, you are finally online!"

Ranzhi: "The push effect is very strong. The collection increased by 200,000 in one day. Take a look at your background and I won't say more!"

The editor-in-charge can actually see the author's performance data.

At this time, Xu Lin clicked on the writer's backstage.

Before a book is put on the shelves, its performance is nothing more than three data: monthly tickets, collections, and follow-up readings.

After a day of short video streaming, Xu Lin's performance reached a new level.

Current word count: 7.6 words.

It has only been a few days since Xu Lin published a book, but he updates it quite frequently, sometimes several thousand words a day, sometimes tens of thousands of words.

Collection: 574569.

Monthly ticket: 6.9.

Ranked second, the first place can hardly hold on.

Follow-up reading: 262987
Xu Lin heard that this was not an effective follow-up reading. In addition, the follow-up reading was based on the data collected the day before yesterday, and was not the latest.

“How much effective follow-up reading is there?”

"The day before yesterday, 184091! Even if you put your book on the shelves now, the number of subscribers will be at least over !"

Ranzhi replied immediately: "Mr. Xu, your book is too popular. The data is exploding, and the promotion has only started for one day. It will continue in the future. As the editor-in-chief, I don't know where the upper limit of this book is!"

Ranzhi: "Mr. Xu, the success of your book is too exaggerated. It depends on whether you can maintain it in the future. Also, I really hope you can write longer. Whether from the perspective of the editor or the reader, hundreds of thousands of words are not enough!"

Now the websites are all paying attention to Xu Lin's book and understand the huge potential of this book, but when they heard that Xu Lin only wrote a few hundred thousand words, they became anxious and asked Ranzhi to persuade Xu Lin.

You know, it’s a win-win situation for the author and the website.

And the website wins in more aspects, such as the subsequent copyright operation, the website can get the lion's share.

Or without going too far, let's just talk about the current traffic promotion. Xu Lin's book has brought a lot of new readers to the website. It depends on how many conversions there are later. In the era of the industry's stock market, it is already good if the website traffic remains unchanged. Traffic diversion is a huge problem, and excellent works are needed to play the role of traffic diversion.

The website has made many traffic-attracting measures tonight, but there is no doubt that it is almost the end of the year, and Xu Lin's book is the strongest. Hundreds of thousands of new readers came yesterday, and the number is still continuing. Even these new readers have to rely on Xu Lin's book to stay.

Just as Ranzhi said, he didn't know the upper limit of this book.

Because Xu Lin's book is different from other books. For other books, the website knows the potential, and no matter how high the level is, it is only at the level of a great writer.

But Xu Lin's book is different, the writing level is unprecedented in the online literature world.

I didn't know and thought it was some master who came to the online literature world.

But the background check shows the identity information.

Xu Lin.

Eighteen?
He looks quite handsome in his ID photo.

It’s impossible for the elders in the family to use the ID cards of the younger generations to write books, right?

The website knew that an unprecedented genius had come to the online literary world to inspire people with his writing.

But you can’t just write a few hundred thousand words and be done with it, right?
Nowadays, the popular books for men are at least over two million words.

The website is overwhelming.
