Chapter 20 Ignore
Moreover, Chen Yan also gave Tian Jingyi a strong feeling of "sexual tension".
Many boys, though handsome, give the impression of lacking sexual drive in their words and actions, exhibiting not only a lack of sexual tension but also a kind of sexual retraction.
Chen Yan gave Tian Jingyi a very strange feeling in terms of sexual tension.
Generally speaking, most men with strong sexual drive will show it in their appearance. Such men usually have a more rugged look and a strong sense of wildness.
However, Chen Yan's appearance is clean and gentle, and he doesn't give people the feeling of a wild beast, but rather a kind of brother next door.
But this does not diminish his powerful sexual tension, especially when he is exercising. Every movement—running, swinging the racket, smashing—is imbued with a strong masculine aura.
His mild appearance did not diminish his charisma; instead, it created a subtle contrast, much like a seemingly ordinary but actually potent liquor that can easily intoxicate someone.
Today, when Chen Yan made his move, the tension he exuded reached its peak.
'Those muscles don't even look that big, so why do they give off such a fierce vibe?' Tian Jingyi muttered to herself as she lay in bed, then unconsciously rubbed her legs together before clamping the blanket tightly between them.
The next second, her phone, which was on the bedside table, lit up. She picked it up and saw that it was a message from Zhao Zheng.
In the past, Tian Jingyi would reply to messages as soon as possible, but now she was in the middle of casting a spell, and it was already late, so she could use the excuse that she went to bed early last night to make excuses.
Without the slightest hesitation, Tian Jingyi flipped her phone over, pulled the blanket up slightly, and then slowly reached down with her left hand.
……
Chen Yan was unaware that he had been used as material for a spell. In his view, what happened at the badminton court was just a minor ripple in his life.
Right now, or throughout the entire summer vacation, there is only one thing that matters most to him.
Codeword!
With daily updates of 100,000 words, plus the occasional burst of updates due to readers reaching the top rank, by mid-August, Chen Yan was writing and posting almost every day.
Meanwhile, with the word count surpassing 150 million, the new book has officially entered its mid-term... For a writer like Chen Yan who focuses on early-stage growth, he has now completely left his comfort zone.
At the same time, with the daily bursts of updates, the detailed outline has completely fallen behind, and some plot points have become dry and unengaging.
However, Chen Yan did not reduce the number of updates or plan to spend time making detailed outlines.
As an online novelist, he is well aware that as long as the update frequency increases, readers' tolerance for the book will also increase significantly.
No matter how well-written a 4,000-word update is, from the moment a reader starts reading, they come with a critical attitude.
At the same time, this amount of updates is not enough to develop even a small plot point, which can easily make readers feel that the content is "padded".
Updating 10,000 words a day may not be a huge amount of content, but it can help advance the plot. Even if the writing is slightly worse, readers won't care too much.
As for updating 50,000 words a day, as long as the plot is written smoothly, readers will automatically ignore some minor mistakes and stand on the author's side, actively defending the author.
In fact, as a form of fast-food literature, online novels are rarely read with a critical eye. As long as the update frequency is high, 99% of the problems can be ignored.
Therefore, even though Chen Yan's plot was not as outstanding as in the early stages, and even the plot that brought up the exciting moments became a bit formulaic, the results continued to rise. By the end of August, the average subscription rate had risen to 15,000.
Because of the high frequency of updates, the new book has been hovering around the 50th place on the monthly ticket chart for a long time, and even broke into the top 30 at one point.
……
2122000 words were published in August.
Chen Yan leaned back in his chair, looked at the data in the Word Statistics section of the Writer Assistant, and let out a long sigh.
In August, I updated more than two million words, averaging more than 70,000 words per day. Including the fees from other channels, I should have earned at least 800,000 yuan in royalties.
Then, taking into account the [Tentacle Monster] buff, you can get an additional 120 million in profit.
'Finally, I have a little money...' Chen Yan rubbed his hands together, looked at the computer screen, and a knowing look flashed in his eyes.
The new book is almost three million words long, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, it should be finished next month, just before the "Tentacle Monster" skill expires. ...
Ten o'clock in the evening.
Chen Yan went to bed on time, planning to play on his phone for a while longer before going to sleep.
However, after playing for only two minutes, I received a message from Shen Dong.
Shen Dong poked you.
[Chen Yan: ?]
[Shen Dong: Have you seen the messages in the class group chat? School starts on the 11th.]
[Chen Yan: I saw it, so what?]
[Shen Dong: I just found out, and it seems two people are really going to be moving into our dorm.]
[Chen Yan: !]
Chen Yan: [Unlucky, jpg]
[Shen Dong: Let's wait and see. If we really can't get along, we'll rent a place outside.]
Shen Dong: I'm truly impressed.
[Shen Dong: (Despair, jpg)]
Chen Yan was also a little annoyed at this moment, after all, a perfectly good double room had suddenly been occupied by two more people...
Let's take a look at these two roommates' living habits first. If they're really sloppy, then it's not too late to rent a place outside.
After chatting with Shen Dong for a while, Chen Yan put down his phone and went to bed on time, seeing that it was getting late.
……
Two days before school starts.
After finishing a night of badminton practice, Chen Yan and Tian Jingyi walked out of the gym side by side and chatted as they walked toward the elevator.
"School's starting soon, how are you going to get there?" Tian Jingyi casually started a conversation.
"My dad will take me there."
"I see." Tian Jingyi pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and then decided to reveal her true intentions.
"Well, I feel like the way we're training now is pretty good. How about we go to the school gym and train like this after school starts?"
Chen Yan: "..."
After thinking for a moment, he did not refuse too bluntly.
"I have to play with my roommate. Why don't you invite your old partner to practice doubles together?"
Upon hearing this, Tian Jingyi's expression stiffened.
She knew all too well how unwilling Zhao Zheng was to play against Chen Yan. If it were just a matter of being outmatched technically, that would be one thing, but at that time Zhao Zheng clearly had the upper hand technically, yet Chen Yan still managed to crush him with sheer physical strength.
Judging from Chen Yan's current skills, if the two were to fight again, Zhao Zheng would probably have his Dao Heart shattered.
After all, Zhao Zheng had been her basketball partner for a long time last semester, so Tian Jingyi felt she should show him some sympathy.
"Forget it, Zhao Zheng prefers one-on-one..."
