I found a cell phone from ten years ago.

Chapter 9: Becoming a God Starts with Advertising

With a bang, the dormitory door was knocked open from outside. Li Xu was awakened and sat up from the bed.

I saw a boy with fair skin and a gentle demeanor, wearing big-framed glasses, walking in with difficulty dragging two large suitcases.

"Did I wake you up?" Seeing that Li Xu was dazed and seemed not to have woken up yet, the boy wiped the sweat from his forehead and said embarrassedly.

"It doesn't matter." Li Xu picked up his phone and took a look, and found that it was already past 9 o'clock.

He read novels too late last night and didn't fall asleep until four or five in the morning, when it was already slightly light.

"My name is Li Guanfu, what's yours?" the boy asked politely.

"Li Xu."

"Then we are relatives. I'm from Guangdong, where are you from?"

……

After chatting with Li Guanfu for a few words, Li Xu got out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash up.

Originally, he just wanted to see if he could find some descriptions about the period after 2010 in the rebirth novel "I Really Didn't Expect a Warm Man After Rebirth".

So I read very quickly at the beginning, just skimming through it and then moving on to the next chapter.

But when he saw the second female lead, Chou Tzu-yu, appear, he was immediately attracted and watched the show until dawn without realizing it.

Is there really a girl as perfect as Xiao Zhou in real life?

She is stunningly beautiful, intelligent, has a high emotional intelligence, and is gentle and obedient to the man she likes.

It's simply the ceiling level!

Li Xu couldn't help but sigh lightly. It was probably difficult to have such a thing, so novels would always be just novels.

Another thing that struck him as quite coincidental was that the protagonist of this book also had the surname Li, Li Zhe, and his mother's hometown happened to be the same village where his family lived.

Therefore, when I saw the scene where Li Zhe took Xiao Zhou back to his hometown to celebrate the New Year, the image came to my mind all at once.

Especially the small clinic where the two of them spent New Year's Eve together, which was at the west end of the village. He had passed by there countless times since he was a child.

After washing up and coming out of the bathroom, Li Xu found that Li Guanfu was busy packing his things. His two large suitcases were opened, taking up most of the space in the dormitory.

"Why did you bring so many books?" he asked when he noticed that one of the large suitcases was filled with books.

"These are the books I want to read, and there are some that I may need, so I brought them all here." Li Guanfu said with a smile.

Wouldn’t it be enough to bring a few books that you read frequently? Can you handle so many books?
Li Xu couldn't help but shook his head in his heart, opened the cabinet, took out a can of eight-treasure porridge and the leftover beef jerky from yesterday from his backpack and started eating.

This is his lunch.

After finishing his meal, Li Xu changed his clothes, said goodbye to Li Guanfu, and left the dormitory.

When he arrived at Dachengming Store, he did not go directly to the Internet cafe, but first bought a 2G USB flash drive on the first floor, and then went up to the third floor.

Entering the Centennial Impression, Li Xu still found a machine in a remote corner.

After turning on the machine, he first went to the starting point to take a look, and was somewhat surprised to find that "Lord of Mysteries" had passed the review.

31 clicks, 23 recommendations, and 10 collections.

“This popularity is too bad!”

Li Xu muttered softly.

As an outsider, he had no idea that for a work that had only been in the library for less than half a day and whose author was a complete newcomer, these data were actually quite good.

Li Xu scrolled down again and looked at the comment section, and found that there were only 3 comments, one of which was an advertisement.

"Well written, keep it up!" "Write faster!"

"A new author came to visit with 'The Heir of Ancient Martial Arts'. Let's support the author!"

Should I also do some advertising myself?

"The Mysterious" is definitely a good book with impeccable quality. The reason why it is so bleak now is mainly due to the lack of exposure channels and not many people can see it.

Thinking of this, Li Xu created a new document, edited an advertisement, and then began to look for popular books on the newcomer list, click list, and recommendation list, and posted advertisements one by one.

After spending more than half an hour and sending out hundreds of advertisements, he felt a little tired and stopped.

I hope it will have some effect!

After resting for a few minutes, Li Xu took out the Honor Magic6pro, opened "Mysterious", and started typing.

From before 11 o'clock until after 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Li Xu kept typing until he felt tired and hungry and could hardly write anymore, so he stopped.

In nearly four hours, he wrote out 7 chapters, more than 25000 words.

My hand speed has improved a little compared to yesterday, almost reaching about 110 words per minute.

I clicked on "Mystery" again and took a look, and found that the number of clicks increased to more than 160, the number of recommendation votes increased to 56, and the number of collections was almost 30.

This encouraged Li Xu a lot. He quickly revised the manuscript and uploaded two more chapters of more than 7,000 words.

If he hadn't known that the new book couldn't be updated too quickly, and that 4000-6000 words a day would be best, he might have uploaded all seven chapters in one go.

After saving the remaining five chapters into a newly purchased USB drive, Li Xu got up and left the Internet cafe, intending to go downstairs to buy something to eat.

The food court on the basement floor of Dacheng has many special snacks, such as plum blossom cakes, pork loin pancakes, duck blood noodles, rice with gravy, etc.

Although it was already past dinner time, there were still a lot of people in the underground floor, and some of the more popular stalls even had queues.

Li Xu walked around and bought a roujiamo, a serving of grilled cold noodles, and a bottle of water for less than 10 yuan in total.

Then, he walked out of Dacheng Store with his things, found a corner where there were not many people and sat down. He took out his Honor Magic 6 Pro, ate roujiamo and grilled cold noodles, and watched short videos.

After eating and resting for a while, Li Xu got up and returned to the Internet cafe.

He planned to write more drafts while he still had time, otherwise when the military training started in two days, he might not have much time to write.

……

At around 9 o'clock in the evening, Li Xu walked out of the Internet cafe tiredly.

From afternoon to evening, he worked non-stop to write 10 chapters, a total of 34000 words.

That day, he wrote a total of 17 chapters, more than 59000 words, and his hands were cramped from typing.

Li Xu walked towards school while rubbing his sore fingers.

In fact, when he typed the last 3000 words, his fingers were no longer under his control and he made many typos, but he still insisted on finishing that chapter.

I have to take a break tomorrow and stop working so hard, otherwise my hand will probably be broken.

Write less code and then revise the manuscript.

He hasn't had time to revise the chapters he wrote today.

In fact, Li Xu didn’t know what an amazing thing he had done. If other writers knew that he had “written” almost 10 words in less than hours, they would definitely be shocked.

Even those recognized tentacle writers in later generations could only write 20,000 to 30,000 words a day at most, which pales in comparison to him, a true "plagiarist".
