I found a cell phone from ten years ago.

Chapter 32: "Mystery" is now available

At around 12 o'clock, Xu Haoyang, Shen Qiang, Li Guanfu and others gathered around Li Xu again.

"Why hasn't it been put on the shelves yet? It's already 12:07." Xu Haoyang leaned over to glance at the screen and said.

"Not so fast, the editor still needs to work on it." Li Xu said as he refreshed the page of "Mystery" again.

"Brother Xu!" The dormitory door was gently pushed open, and Cao Jianfei walked in tiptoeing.

"Why are you here?" Li Xu turned his head and looked at the other person.

"I'll come and take a look." Cao Jianfei said, walked to Li Xu and also glanced at the screen.

“Isn’t it on the shelves yet?”

Li Xu didn't say anything, but refreshed the page of "Mystery" every two or three minutes.

At 12:17, he refreshed the page again and saw the VIP logo appear under the public section.

This means the novel is now available on the shelves.

"Okay."

As soon as they heard that the novel was on the shelves, He Weichen and Zhao Jiazi quickly got out of bed and gathered around.

Li Xu opened the writer's backend, copied the saved manuscript, and started uploading chapters.

One chapter, two chapters, three chapters... He updated 10 chapters in a row before stopping.

"Brother Xu, can you please check how many first orders there are?" Cao Jianfei urged.

"It shouldn't be much. It's only been a few minutes."

As Li Xu spoke, he clicked on the data center, entered the password to enter the VIP area, and found the subscription details.

VIP first chapter, 462 subscriptions.

He refreshed the page again and the number changed to 506.

"More than 10 subscriptions in less than 500 minutes? Brother Xu, your book will definitely get over 24 subscriptions in the first hours." Cao Jianfei said excitedly.

This guy seemed even more excited than Li Xu himself, as if his own novel was on the shelves.

After hearing this, Li Xu just smiled and didn't respond. He clicked on the page of "Mystery" and took a look.

I found that there are more than 100 monthly tickets, and 2 more alliance leaders have been added, so there are currently 9 alliance leaders.

There are twenty or thirty large rewards of more than 5000 points (Qidian Coins), and countless small rewards.

Seeing this, he quickly updated another 7 chapters.

Among them, 4 chapters are added for the leader, 1 chapters are added for rewards of 500, and 500 chapter is added in advance because the monthly votes reach . It is estimated that the monthly votes will exceed by tomorrow morning.

After the update, Li Xu exited the writer's backstage and said to Cao Jianfei:

"It's quite late. You should go back to the dormitory and get some sleep. You have classes tomorrow morning."

"Brother Xu, then you won't check the subscription anymore?"

"No, let's talk about it tomorrow."

"Then I'll leave?" Cao Jianfei felt a little reluctant and left.

Li Xu then said to Xu Haoyang and Shen Qiang who were still standing nearby, "You two should stop standing here and go back to bed. I want to go to bed too.

After saying that, he stood up.

"Brother Xu, you don't need the computer anymore, right? Then I'll use it for a while." Seeing Li Xu leave the computer, Li Guanfu immediately got off the bed again.

After Li Xu went to bed, Xu Haoyang and Shen Qiang also climbed onto the bed. Only Li Guanfu was left in the dormitory sitting in front of the laptop.

"Brother Xu, if your novel has over ten thousand subscriptions, can you earn ten or twenty thousand every month?" Shen Qiang raised his head from the bed, looked at Li Xu's bed, and asked with envy.

"That's about right." Li Xu said in an ambiguous tone.

Although he is reluctant to disclose his income, there is no need to be too secretive.

With Cao Jianfei, a half-expert, around, it would be impossible to conceal the matter completely.

"I never thought our dorm would produce a great writer! Li Xu, if you ever become a great writer, don't forget us roommates," He Weichen said half-jokingly. "Yeah, Brother Xu, you mustn't forget us," Shen Qiang echoed with a smile.

"Don't flatter me. Who can predict what will happen in the future?" Li Xu said with a long sigh.

"Brother Xu, I believe you will become a great player in the future." Xu Haoyang said in a confident tone.

At the same time, in dormitory 2, Building 308.

Guan Jiayu got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and found Jiang Jingni and Lu Fang still sitting in front of their netbooks. She couldn't help but say:
"It's almost 1 o'clock, why aren't you two sleeping yet?"

"Jia Yu, come here and take a look!" Lu Fang waved to Guan Jiayu.

Guan Jiayu walked over and saw the page for "Lord of Mysteries" on the screen. She said speechlessly, "Are you two still reading his novel?"

"Li Xu's novel has 12 alliance leaders. I roughly calculated that he has earned to yuan just from tips. Adding the money from subscriptions, he must make to yuan a month!" Lu Fang's tone was full of envy and a hint of sourness.

"Not that much. It seems that the money earned by the authors has to be split in half with the website. He should only get more than 20,000." Jiang Jingni corrected.

She then said to Guan Jiayu, "I've read a little bit of Li Xu's novel. It's really well written. No wonder it's so popular online."

"I never thought there was such a talented person hidden in our class!"

Jiang Jingni said the last sentence in a tone full of emotion.

Lu Fang glanced at her and said with a hint of sarcasm, "Didn't you say before that he wasn't doing his job properly?"

"I only said that he shouldn't skip classes. The rest of the words were said by you." Jiang Jingni quickly retorted.

"Who told him to hide it from us? Otherwise, people would misunderstand him," Lu Fang defended.

"Okay, it's the middle of the night. What are you two arguing about? Just go to sleep." Guan Jiayu interrupted their argument.

……

On Monday, a little after 6 o'clock in the morning, He Weichen, Xu Haoyang and others got up, put on their clothes, got out of bed, washed up, and prepared to go to the playground for morning exercises.

After Xu Haoyang finished washing up, he saw Li Xu was still sleeping, and couldn't help but say: "Brother Xu, why hasn't he woken up yet? I'll go wake him up."

He Weichen tried to stop him and said, "Don't call him. I saw he was still awake at two or three o'clock last night. Let him sleep a little longer."

"Brother Xu was a little excited last night and couldn't sleep!" Li Guanfu joked.

"If I could earn 10,000 or 20,000 yuan a month, I would be a hundred times more excited than Brother Xu." Shen Qiang said with a smile.

Several people chatted and laughed and left the dormitory together.

When Li Xu woke up, it was already past 7 o'clock.

Last night, he looked very calm and composed on the surface, but in fact he was still a little excited inside.

Plus, I had already slept all day, so I didn't feel sleepy at all when I lay in bed.

I kept fiddling with my phone and watching videos until after 3 o'clock. I felt a little sleepy and finally fell asleep.

Li Xu sat up from the bed and glanced at Xu Haoyang and Shen Qiang who were sitting next to the computer.

"Didn't you two go to morning self-study?"

"Brother Xu, are you awake? If you don't wake up, I'm going to wake you up." Xu Haoyang turned his head and said with a smile.

"Brother Xu, we brought you breakfast, please eat it quickly." Shen Qiang pointed to the three buns and a bag of milk on Li Xu's desk.

"Thanks!"

Li Xu got out of bed, went to the bathroom to wash up, then sat down at the desk, picked up the buns and started eating.

"Brother Xu, don't you see how much the subscriptions have increased? I just checked and found that your book has 3 more leaders, and there are more than 500 monthly tickets." Xu Haoyang couldn't help but say.

"No, let's talk about it tonight."

Li Xu finished his bun in a few bites, drank his milk, then stood up and said, "Let's go to the classroom. Class will start soon."
