Chapter 90 Xu Qin's Million-Dollar Forum Bet! Da Bai Wants to Buy a Bikini?

In fact, even this morning, Guo Zhenyun didn't take Xu Qin's book seriously.

At that time, the difference in their collections was still 500,000.

With this level of difference in collections, it's wishful thinking for the other side to try and catch up.

Besides, he is Guo Zhenyun, a veteran. How can a newcomer like you think he can surpass me?

As it turned out, it was already afternoon.

With readers occasionally notifying him, he watched as the gap in collections gradually narrowed.

To this day, the gap has narrowed from the initial 500,000 to 180,000!

Good news: The number of items collected has visibly skyrocketed.

Bad news: That's because the price of the building next door is skyrocketing.

The gap between the two is now just over 180,000.

Guo Zhenyun was genuinely getting anxious.

He posted in the comments section of "Looking at the Moon" that if the other person surpassed him, he would give them a reward of 300,000 yuan.

A mere 300,000 is nothing.

But if I really get overtaken, I'll lose face.

Moreover, it is widely known.

In the copyright world, being able to become the number one new book of the month is a hard indicator, representing that your book is indeed very strong.

At that time, the value of the copyright will increase by at least one or two levels.

For example, if a book doesn't become the number one new book of the month, let's say its film and television rights are worth five million.

However, if you can secure the top spot for the new book, the film and television rights price for that book can be increased by more than two million, or even directly to eight figures.

This is the value of being the first to publish a new book.

It's not just a forum writing honor.

There are only twelve books per creative channel in a year (twelve months).

Seeing that the duck that was about to be eaten might fly away, Guo Zhenyun became really anxious.

"Old Guo, I've done the calculations, and there are only a little over 180,000 left. The gap in collections will soon be even."

"I reckon Lao Guo will be overtaken tomorrow. I have to say, Xu Gongzi next door is really on fire!"

"Yesterday's update by Young Master Xu was a huge hit! Word spread like wildfire, attracting many casual readers today. And since the forum's intelligent recommendation system works best with reader feedback, I predict that tomorrow, the last day of 'Looking at the Moon,' the recommendation effect for Young Master Xu's book will be even more phenomenal!"

"Today's update is going to be another bombshell. I just took a quick look, and this young master Xu's writing is superb, his ability to structure plots is extraordinary, especially his grasp of 'romanticism'—tsk tsk, he's in a league of his own on the forum. Speaking of which, no one in the literary world can handle 'romanticism' yet."

"Young Master Xu is a pure, top-tier genius. I've read three of his books in a row, and his progress is so obvious. To say it's been a leap forward is an understatement. He was born to do this."

"Guo Degang might be targeted!"

As Guo Zhenyun scrolled through the comments section, he noticed that there were more and more comments supporting Xu Gongzi. Although there seemed to be more comments supporting himself, people are always more sensitive to things they don't like.

"Damn it, how could I possibly lose?"

"I absolutely cannot give up first place!"

Guo Zhenyun's idea was to revise the outline overnight, such as bringing forward the climax of the story and adding more episodes to speed up the pace.

The forum's intelligent recommendation mechanism relies on reader feedback; the greater the reader feedback, the stronger the push.

The reason why Mr. Xu's side is generating so much buzz today is because of this.

"That guy surnamed Xu is too cunning; he actually blocked the plot during the big promotion. It was my carelessness!"

Lao Guo sat in front of the computer adjusting the outline.

At this time.

A message popped up on Feiliao.

Guo Zhenyun has a reader group, and a reader tagged him: "Old Guo, Young Master Xu has called out to you."

Is Young Master Xu calling out to me?

Guo Zhenyun was in a sensitive period regarding the words "Young Master Xu," so he immediately clicked on the message and saw a screenshot of Xu Qin calling out to him.

"Old Guo, they're shouting at you from the other side, can you really stand for that?"

"If it were me, I definitely wouldn't be able to tolerate it."

"Old Guo, don't lose! The value of being number one for a new book is enormous. If you lose, the copyright value of your book will decrease by at least two million!"

"Two million is an understatement. Add up the value of all those copyrights, and wow, it's probably eight figures!"

In response, Guo Zhenyun posted a message in the group: "Brothers, don't worry, I'll update with over 20,000 words tomorrow. This is a climax, and it's a complete story loop. Trust me, he's a newbie, there's no way he can catch up to me. Besides, there's still a gap of nearly 200,000 words, this is nothing!"

Following that came a series of voices supporting him.

After Guo Zhenyun finished speaking, he immediately entered the forum, thought for a moment, and then specifically tagged Xu Qin: "Young Master Xu, do you dare to challenge me?"

Xu Qin had only spoken for half a minute when he was still on the forum, so he happened to see Guo Zhenyun's post pop up.

"A duel?"

Xu Qin replied to the other party: "How do you plan to play?"

Guo Zhenyun replied instantly: "I think 300,000 is too little, and it's just me playing around without you participating, so it's meaningless. Let's change the rules this time. I'll put up 1 million. If I'm defeated by you, I'll give you 1 million directly, without going through the forum reward system. It's the same the other way around. If you lose, you give me 1 million. How about it? Dare to accept?"

In the past three years of his creative career, Guo Zhenyun has earned more than 30 million yuan. Although he has spent it all lavishly, he has high expectations for his future.

At only 24 years old, he hasn't even reached his creative peak yet; he's still on the rise.

He didn't care about a million.

In the future, he will have countless millions.

Of course, Guo Zhenyun didn't want to pay the one million for this competition.

To be more precise, Guo Zhenyun felt that he could not possibly lose.

He brought forward a complete climax of the plot, a plot he had designed months ago and was sure to be a hit, but an unexpected event occurred this time, so he had to bring it forward.

However, this had little impact. Guo Zhenyun still believed that he was capable enough to sweep everything away, especially this newcomer, Young Master Xu.

He has to win decisively.

Guo Zhenyun believed that once he presented this scenario, it would be a piece of cake for the young master Xu on the other side to despair. As long as the other party dared to accept his bet, Guo Zhenyun could actually make a million.

But then again, can Young Master Xu refuse now?

The message I posted with the @ tag is visible to everyone; it's not a private message.

With so many people watching you, you're not going to answer?

Is he still a man?

Moreover, Guo Zhenyun also had the intention of creating hype. If he won the million-dollar challenge, it would increase his popularity.

The writers on the forum also have celebrity characteristics.

If you can create hype and attract followers, then people will send you a lot of money to recharge your account, which is commonly known as "exploding gold coins".

Guo Zhenyun has a clear train of thought.

A million is not something he can just casually play around with.

the other side.

"A bet of one million?"

With the three million given to him by Chi Tingxuan, Xu Qin now has over four million in savings.

Now you want to put up a million to gamble?

Should I answer or not?

Xu Qin hesitated.

Xu Qin sent messages to Xia Qingyun and Yu Zhaoyan to inquire about this matter.

"Xiao Qin, you can do it! Take first place!" Xia Qingyun cheered.

Yu Zhaoyan: "Xu Qin, you're not Young Master Xu, are you trying to find an excuse to chat with a beautiful woman like me?"

Yu Zhaoyan: "But in my opinion, Young Master Xu will definitely win; his skill level is clearly superior to Guo Zhenyun's!"

Xu Qin saw the reply.

Both girls supported him.

Although Yu Zhaoyan's perspective is purely from an outsider's point of view, she is a fan of her own book and likes it very much. Therefore, she has a biased view and cannot be too trusting.

Therefore, Xu Qin did not lose himself.

He looked at his update that he hadn't posted yet for today.

"I'd rather believe in myself!"

Xu Qin's update today marks the end of the climax and the official conclusion. He is very confident in this part of the plot and also in his ability to use cheat codes.

Therefore, Xu Qin replied to Guo Zhenyun's message: "I accepted, don't renege on your promise!"

Guo Zhenyun replied almost instantly: "Would I renege on my debt? You underestimate me too much. But Young Master Xu, you're doomed to lose. Get a million ready!"

Xu Qin did not reply to the other party.

The conversation between the two was visible to everyone, and readers and passersby from both sides flocked to it in an instant.

"Wow! A million-dollar bet? Wow, that's incredibly extravagant!"

"That's incredible! How many years would it take me to earn a million?"

So, who do you all think will win?

"I'm on Guo Degang's side. Guo Degang currently has 180,000 more favorites than Xu Gongzi, and Guo Degang just said in the fan group that he's going to update more than 20,000 chapters tomorrow. He's going to really push himself!"

"I think Mr. Xu is very strong, but he probably can't surpass Mr. Guo. After all, Mr. Guo's level is more mature, and his overall writing skills are more mature than Mr. Xu's."

"I think Young Master Xu can win; I have great confidence in his talent."

On the forum, opinions varied widely regarding the million-dollar bet.

A poll thread appeared shortly afterward:

Xu Qin 37; Guo Zhenyun 63.

Compared to Xu Qin, Guo Zhenyun is an established author with a substantial track record, while Xu Qin is a newcomer.

In particular, Guo Zhenyun later commented that tomorrow's update would be explosive.

People are obviously more willing to believe established authors who have achieved success.

Young Master Xu?

A rising star.

It depends on the situation.

As for Xu Qin, the update for today was officially released at exactly 12 o'clock.

At this point, the difference in the number of items collected by both sides was exactly 180,000.

"Xu Qin, the million-dollar bet has begun. Do you think Young Master Xu will win?"

Shortly after Xu Qin updated, Yu Zhaoyan sent a message.

"Big White, didn't you just say you trusted me?"

"Xu Qin, are you trying to tease me again?"

Yu Zhaoyan: "Fine, I'll just pretend you're Young Master Xu for now!"

Xu Qin: "Once I win, I'll make a million, and I'll treat you to some fun (sunglasses)."

"Where should we go for fun?"

Yu Zhaoyan added a question mark emoji; she likes going out and is very curious right now.

Xu Qin: "It's so hot today, let's find a place to swim."

"swim?"

"Yes, how about it?"

"That's fine, and I haven't swum in a long time, Xu Qin. Let me tell you, during my summer vacation—"

Then Yu Zhaoyan told Xu Qin about her experience of swimming in the lake alone during the summer vacation.

Yu Zhaoyan is really brave; during the summer vacation, she traveled to more than a dozen cities by herself.

Keep in mind that she is only eighteen years old. At that age, not to mention girls, many boys wouldn't dare to go out on their own.

But Yu Zhaoyan dared.

Now, Xu Qin was shocked to hear that she actually dared to go swimming in the lake alone.

Were there any people around at the time?

"I swim by myself, where is anyone?"

"Big White, are you really not afraid of death? You dare to go swimming in a lake in the middle of nowhere all by yourself. Who knows, one day your body might be found by a fisherman."

A fisherman can catch anything except fish.

"I'm a very good swimmer. My mom was a swimmer, and a national champion at that. But she retired shortly after marrying my dad. And I know my limits."

"Many people who drown are swimmers. You're asking for some restraint? But if you're so brave, why are you afraid of snakes?"

"I'm only afraid of snakes, nothing else."

Yu Zhaoyan sent another message: "Then let's go swimming outdoors on Saturday. I'll look for a place where we can swim."

"Let's go outdoors later. We can find a swimming pool on Saturday."

"Let's find a private swimming pool," Xu Qin suggested.

"Why a private swimming pool?"

"Because I'm too handsome and have a great physique, I don't want to be stared at by other women or even gay men."

"Xu Qin, you're so narcissistic! I haven't even mentioned that others were watching me!"

Yu Zhaoyan added a "picking nose" emoji.

"Then when we go to a private swimming pool, you can only show me (the sunglasses)."

"7

"Want me to wear a bikini for you?"

"If you're willing, Da Bai (lewdly)."

"Dream on, Xu Qin, you lecherous scoundrel! Pretending to be a gentleman, now you've finally shown your true colors!"

After chatting for a few more minutes, Xu Qin said he was going to take a shower and go to bed.

Yu Zhaoyan then logged out of Feiliao.

Big White wasn't ready to sleep yet; she planned to look for a suitable private swimming pool.

A private swimming pool is one that is distinct from other swimming pools where a large group of people swim together.

In other words, on Saturday, it was just the two of them, Xu Qin and I, swimming together, with no one else around.

Thinking of this, Yu Zhaoyan suddenly remembered the bikini that Xu Qin had mentioned.

Yu Zhaoyan had never seen a bikini in real life, let alone worn one herself.

She then opened an online shopping platform and searched for: bikini.

Soon, numerous pictures of bikini models appeared on the page.

"What kind of nonsense is this? How can you wear clothes like this in public?"

"This is way too revealing! Is this clothing for humans?"

Yu Zhaoyan blushed because some of the bikinis barely covered the vital parts, just a small piece of fabric, like underwear, with the front barely covering the size of a palm, and some even just a rope around the buttocks.

What kind of provocative woman would wear clothes like this?

"I will absolutely never wear a bikini!"

Yu Zhaoyan thought to herself, and then immediately logged out of the shopping platform.

But three seconds later, Yu Zhaoyan inexplicably reopened the search and started searching again.

Then, almost without thinking, and blushing, I ordered a rather revealing red bikini.

"Xu Qin, you big pervert!"

Finally, Yu Zhaoyan sent a message to Xu Qin.

Xu Qin just came out of the shower at that moment.

"Big White, what does that mean?"

However, Yu Zhaoyan did not reply.
