After the college entrance exam, he began to become a male god of extraction.

August arrived quickly.

Xu Qin's life continued as usual: exercising, reading, and constantly improving and growing.

Ten days have passed quickly since Xu Qin obtained the "Ten Times Fitness Acceleration".

With the tenfold acceleration of fitness training, Xu Qin's one month was equivalent to ten months for others.

Ten days is more than three months.

Including the workout time from the month or so before I got the fitness acceleration.

This is equivalent to Xu Qin having been working out for four or five months.

Therefore, Xu Qin now has a distinct sense of line all over his body, and his overall outline has emerged.

For someone who is 1.9 meters tall, the significance of this achievement goes without saying.

Anyone who is tall knows that it's not easy for people over 1.8 meters to get fit, let alone build muscle.

With this accelerated pace, it's estimated that Xu Qin will be able to achieve the thin skin he desires in about a month.

Currently, thin muscles are one of the most popular body types for men, according to current aesthetic standards.

Regarding "New City Year One".

At this point, the growth in collections had basically stopped, but there was still one collection worth 103 million.

It is also Xu Qin's first book to have a million-level collection.

So on the 10th, Xu Qin sold another copyright.

Audio copyright.

50,000 yuan, for a standard license, not an exclusive license.

However, audio copyrights are the least valuable. If you put them on an audiobook platform, the price you can sell them for is not high; 50,000 yuan is already quite good.

The author receives 30% of the revenue after deducting production costs.

Xu Qin did a quick check and found that audiobook copyright authors don't actually receive much in revenue sharing, unless it's a wildly popular book.

Despite having millions of book collections, Xu Qin's books are only considered mid-tier.

On the Chiyu Forum, popular books are rated based on the number of collections: three million collections is considered a minor hit, six million collections is a major hit, and ten million collections is considered a sweeping hit across the entire internet.

However, there are no more than sixty books with tens of millions of favorites on the entire Chiyu Forum, and less than two hundred on the entire platform.

As for the number of readers in the literature section of Chiyu Forum, it exceeds 200 million, while the science fiction channel alone has more than 40 million readers.

Xu Qin has a book with a million collectors in his hands, but this is only the beginning.

In August, Xu Qin has received 110,000 yuan so far, including more than 60,000 yuan from tips last month and 42,000 yuan after taxes on audio copyrights.

Another month with a monthly income of over 100,000.

Today, Xu Qin's savings are close to one million, which can be considered a considerable amount of savings.

On the 13th.

Zheng Fanghong sent me a message.

Xu Qin was informed that his novel "New City Year One" had passed the review process.

Books must undergo internal review by the publishing house, as well as official review.

The most crucial factor is still official review.

After all the reviews were approved, we're just waiting for the physical book to be officially released on the 25th.

On the 13th, Zheng Fanghong also met with his investor.

Zheng Fanghong's investor is Shang Yanzhou, who was named one of the top 100 outstanding young entrepreneurs by Xincheng last year. He works in the emerging technology industry and has been making a name for himself in recent years.

A few years ago, Shang Yanzhou was simply an investor, and Tianhuo Publishing House was one of the many projects she had invested in.

The reason was that Shang Yanzhou had written a romance novel as a hobby, and then self-funded its publication by Tianhuo Publishing House.

This is one of the reasons why she invested in Skyfire Publishing House.

At that time, Tianhuo Publishing House was already struggling and could not withstand the crushing pressure from industry giants, and it was on the verge of collapse.

It was Shang Yanzhou who saved Tianhuo Publishing House.

Later, Zheng Fanghong shamelessly went to their door twice to ask for investment, and they did invest a little; otherwise, Tianhuo Publishing House would have been gone.

"General Manager Shang!"

Zheng Fanghong walked into the office, his posture not exactly respectful, but certainly somewhat humble.

The girl sitting in the chair at the back of the office was only twenty-five or twenty-six years old.

Shang Yanzhou is a very beautiful girl.

Among the top 100 outstanding young people in Xincheng, her assets rank only 93rd, which is quite inconspicuous in the crowd.

But in reality, she is one of the most famous people.

The reason is that she is too beautiful. Although she rarely appears in the public eye, even a fleeting glimpse by the media is enough to amaze people. Some of the top beauties in the entertainment industry have stood next to her and paled in comparison.

When Shang Yanzhou saw Zheng Fanghong enter, her eyes flickered slightly and her eyebrows lifted gently.

"Mr. Zheng, is there something you need?"

Shang Yanzhou assumed the other party was coming to ask for investment again.

Investing in Tianhuo Publishing House would obviously be a losing proposition, because the publishing industry is basically monopolized by large publishing houses, making it difficult for mid- to low-level publishing houses to survive.

After several years, she had long since given up hope of breaking even.

Fortunately, she didn't invest much.

"Ahem, Mr. Shang, it's like this. I recently signed a book contract, and I have a feeling that maybe this time, my publishing house will be able to survive. This book is destined to be a bestseller, so I wanted to let you know."

Zheng Fanghong placed a copy of "The First Year of Xincheng" on the other person's desk.

Shang Yanzhou is Zheng Fanghong's benefactor. She has invested in Tianhuo Publishing House three times, and now she owns 33% of the company's shares.

Zheng Fanghong's trip here was also to report on his career progress to the benefactors who had supported him.

Zheng Fanghong pointed to "New City Year One" and said, "President Shang, you can take a look at this book."

"Hmm, I'll watch it when I have time!"

Shang Yanzhou nodded slightly, not taking it to heart.

Zheng Fanghong continued, "The author of this book is called Young Master Xu, whose real name is Xu Qin, the Qin of the Qin state. He is currently only eighteen years old, a young man of exceptional talent and ability. Perhaps he will become a great writer in the future!"

"A great writer?"

Shang Yanzhou had a question.

Zheng Fanghong coughed lightly, "His literary talent is truly exceptional. This is only his second book, and it's exceptionally well-written. Currently, as a newcomer on the Chiyu Forum, this book already has over a million favorites, which is quite an achievement. He might just soar to great heights soon!"

"Um."

Shang Yanzhou nodded slightly, still not very interested.

Then she heard Zheng Fanghong say a few more words, all of which were Zheng Fanghong's praise for this "Young Master Xu".

Finally, she glanced at Zheng Fanghong. "Mr. Zheng, is there anything else?"

"there is none left."

Zheng Fanghong understood the underlying meaning. Besides, he was indeed fine. He was just here to report, and perhaps his publishing house could be saved because of it.

Now that everything was alright, Zheng Fanghong left.

Shang Yanzhou was left alone in the office. She glanced at the book "New City Year One" on her desk and casually opened it to the first page.

Synopsis: A place collapsed on the outskirts of the new city. Someone discovered it was an ancient tomb. After the report was made, something happened and the military quickly sealed off the area. Subsequently, an archaeological team entered and passed through a mysterious entrance. In that incredible space-time, they saw General Chi Yu of Longhan.

"General Chi Yu?"

Shang Yanzhou wasn't particularly interested at first, but after seeing the name, his interest was piqued.

As Chi Yu's hometown, Xincheng has many things named after him, which are both sacred and endearing.

Moreover, Shang Yanzhou graduated from Chiyu University.

As for Zheng Fanghong's statement that this book will revive Tianhuo Publishing House and that it has the potential to be a bestseller...

Shang Yanzhou didn't take it too seriously, assuming that Zheng Fanghong was exaggerating.

There are countless heroes in the world, so how can one become a great writer simply by saying so?

But just as Shang Yanzhou was about to read "The First Year of Xincheng".

dong dong!

A knock sounded on the door.

"Come in!"

Her busy work schedule quickly dampened her interest in reading and temporarily made her forget about the book.

Xu Qin was unaware of this.

With less than two weeks left in summer vacation, Xu Qin's daily routine remained unchanged.

I exercise, read books, occasionally log in with Wei Guoyu, and I also went to an internet cafe for an all-nighter three times.

In addition, I went to the city library with Xia Qingyun to read books.

It was during this period that Xu Qin felt that the characteristic of "textual affinity" was becoming somewhat difficult to utilize in order to improve his writing skills.

Xu Qin hasn't written any books during this period, but he has practiced his writing skills quite a bit, and the feeling is still quite obvious.

The usefulness of "textual affinity" for improving writing skills seems to have reached its limit.

In terms of features.

Xu Qin's missing silver trait still hasn't appeared.

But once, when he went to a coffee shop with Wei Guoyu, he got a bronze-level trait: Disguised Business Person (referring to Starbucks' pretentiousness).

That's all.

The day was the 25th.

morning.

"Xu Qin, when you see Qingyun's parents later, remember to greet them politely, like uncle and aunt!"

My mother gave me these instructions.

"Ms. Lin, there's no need to explain, right? I'll do it, don't worry!"

His mother had repeatedly reminded him, and Xu Qin had heard it several times.

He understands basic manners.

Xia Qingyun went to report today, driven there by her parents, with Xu Qin accompanying her.

Actually, Xu Qin was a little reluctant, feeling that it would be better for his mother to drive him there.

But Xia Qingyun and her group agreed.

Xu Qin had no choice but to follow the car.

Mom checked her phone. "Qingyun's mom said they'll be outside the complex in a few minutes. Let's go down!"
