I found a cell phone from ten years ago.

Chapter 55: First Monthly Ticket Winner
Tudou@Li Xu: "You're going to compete for the rankings this month, right?"

Li Xu @Tudou: "Yes, I'll fight for this month. Brother Dou, how about you give me the upper hand? (joking emoticon)"

Ten seconds later.

Tudou@Li Xu: "Okay, then I won't compete this month."

Looking at Tudou's reply, Li Xu was a little surprised. He had just asked tentatively, but he didn't expect Tudou to agree so readily.

Did Tudou really want to give in? He certainly didn't want to, but he couldn't compete with this "pervert" Li Xu.

He had been pushing himself to write four or five chapters a day for the past few days, working himself to the bone, sleeping only four or five hours a day. But he couldn't handle Li Xu's daily blast of 70,000 to 80,000 words, which was completely exhausting.

Not to mention, Li Xu did not play by the rules and organized a "lottery event".

Tudou has thought about following suit and organizing a "lottery event" as well.

But firstly, I feel a little embarrassed, and secondly, if I lose now, at least I have an excuse. If I follow Li Xu's example and still lose in the lottery, I will be so embarrassed.

Now that Li Xu took the initiative to offer him a way out, he hesitated for a moment, but decided to go down it. He really didn't want to argue with this "pervert" anymore.

At this time, Tudou @ Li Xu again: "No, brother, how old are you? Why do you call me Brother Dou? (laughing and crying expression)"

Li Xu couldn't help but smile after seeing it, and replied: "I was born in the 90s, Brother Dou, are you also born in the 90s?"

In fact, he knew that the potatoes were from 89 and said that on purpose.

Tudou @ Li Xu: "Are you a post-90s generation? Don't lie to me! (Scared emoji.)"

"Is this true, Li Xu, are you really a post-90s?" Tomato @Li Xu.

"Old Li, it's wrong for you to pretend to be young!" Old White Crane @Li Xu.

……

When the experts online in the group heard Li Xu say that he was born in the 90s, they were quite surprised.

There are no people born after 90 in this group. The youngest is Tudou, who was born in 89. He is also the most proud and high-spirited one.

He started writing novels at the age of 18, and his novel "World of Warcraft Sword Saint's Journey into Another World" made him the youngest new writer on Qidian. At the age of 20, he became the youngest platinum writer on Qidian with "Fights Break Sphere".

This year he is ranked among the five great writers in the Central Plains and has become one of the supreme gods of online literature.

However, after Li Xu joined the group, he was no longer like that.

Li Xu: "I was born in 91 and I'm just a freshman this year."

After hearing what he said, Potato, Tomato, Old White Crane and others became even more unconvinced.

Tudou@Li Xu: "Freshman? You're ridiculous. If you were a freshman, I'd still be in high school."

Old White Crane: "Actually, I'm still in high school."

……

It is acceptable that Tudou could write "Fights Break Sphere" at the age of 19, but it is a bit too exaggerated to say that he could write a book like "Guimi" at the age of 19.

At this time, the administrator, the no longer wandering Toad, suddenly sent a message: "Don't doubt it, Li Xu was really born in 91."

This statement instantly caused an uproar in the group, and several lurking experts came out.

Don't call me a skeleton elf @李徐: "You are actually a post-90s generation? (incredible emoji)"

Who is Yue Guan? "You can write "Mystery" as a freshman? You are more exaggerated than a potato."

Shen Ji @ The Toad That No Longer Wanders, The Dancer Who Can’t Dance: “You two knew this a long time ago, right?”

...Ordinary readers and authors may not know Li Xu's real age, but it is not a secret to some editors of Qidian, as well as veteran authors such as Dancing Who Can't Dance, Toad Who No Longer Wanders, and I Am Not Blood Red.

These veteran masters all grew up with Qidian and are as familiar with the editors as brothers.

Especially the Toad who is no longer wandering, he can be said to have made an indelible contribution to Qidian's current status.

The book "Tian Peng Zong Heng" can be said to have saved Qidian, supported the paid reading service on Qidian, and prevented the system from dying.

After hanging out in the group for a while and chatting with big names like Tu Dou and Lao Bai He, Li Xu logged out of QQ.

Afterwards, he logged into the writer's backstage and wrote a note stating that "the manuscripts have been sold out and the rules for adding more chapters have been changed."

The rules for adding chapters have been changed from adding one chapter for every 100 monthly votes to adding one chapter for every 500 monthly votes.

Less than a month after the novel was put on the shelves, Li Xu updated it with over a million words. The total word count is now close to 160 million, while "Mystery" only has a total of 440 million words.

The update speed is too fast. It's time to slow down and control the update speed.

Moreover, Tudou has already given in, so there is no need to keep updating and begging for votes or pursuing him relentlessly.

……

After Tudou announced that it would give up competing for the list, Li Xu's road to the list was no longer a surprise. For the next three or four days, "Mysterious" remained firmly at the top of the overall list.

Finally, at midnight on December 12st, the total number of monthly tickets was fixed at 1, and with an absolute advantage of more than 24182 votes, it successfully won the monthly ticket championship in November.

"Fights Break Sphere" ranked second with 19125 votes.

The third place is "The Evil Lord of Another World" with 10314 votes, the fourth place is "A Mortal's Journey to Immortality" with 8597 votes, the fifth place is "The Immortal Rebellion" with 5914 votes, and the sixth place is "The God of War" with 5668 votes.

……

Don’t think that it’s miserable that many great players on the list can’t get more than 10,000 monthly votes. You should know that the number of monthly votes on Qidian is generally so small at that time, and 3,000 to 4,000 monthly votes can make it into the top ten of the monthly ticket list.

In dormitory 416.

Li Xu sat in front of his laptop, watching "Mysterious" successfully win the championship, and he couldn't help feeling a little excited.

He became a legend at the age of 19 with just one book. It can be said that he created a legend, and it is probably difficult for anyone to surpass it.

Although not a single word in this book "Mystery" was written by Li Xu and it was all copied, this did not affect his sense of accomplishment at all.

Don't worry about it so much. Wait until he is worth hundreds of billions in the future, and then reward the future platinum writer who wrote "The Mysterious". Just a few hundred million or tens of millions will be enough.

What is this called? The rich lead the poor!
"Brother Xu, now that you have won the monthly ticket championship, does that mean you are a great player?" Xu Haoyang, who was standing next to Li Xu, couldn't help but ask.

Before Li Xu could speak, Cao Jianfei, who was also standing nearby, excitedly said, "Of course, Brother Xu, you must be a great author. Even if you are a great author, few people can win the first place right after their new book is released."

Seeing that "Mysterious" won the championship, this kid was even more excited than Li Xu himself.

Moreover, it was not just the two of them. Shen Qiang, Li Guanfu, He Weichen and others also stood behind Li Xu and witnessed him winning the monthly ticket championship.

Li Xu glanced at Xu Haoyang, smiled, and said casually, "He's a potential great player, but it depends on when he can get a great player contract at Qidian."

The titles of Platinum Author and Great Author were first proposed by Qidian. Only those who obtain the Great Author contract from Qidian can be considered true Great Authors.

Otherwise, no matter how outstanding your performance is, if you can't get the title of a great god at the starting point, it will be difficult to declare yourself a great god.

This is also why so many authors are keen to write books on Qidian. Many people have a dream of becoming a god.
