Chapter 12

“Neat!” Cai Pingtong blurted out a word when he saw the spot where Xu Yuan finished his chapter.

It was not without reason that Battle Through the Heavens garnered 100,000 subscriptions on the first day of its release. It had broken the website record!

Xu Yuan was stuck at the spot where Xiao Yan went to the Cloudtop to fulfill the three-year agreement.

All the stories began when Nalan Yanran recklessly broke off the engagement. After that, Xiao Yan discovered that Sr. Yao’s soul was hidden in the ring his deceased mother left him. He was finally able to work out the reason why he had become a loser.

It turned out that Yao Lao, who was sleeping in the ring, had been feeding on his reiki, causing his cultivation progress to move backward. For that, he had been the subject of taunting and teasing for three years.

For what was worth, Yao Lao felt that he had owed Xiao Yan. So he became his teacher and taught Xiao Yan everything he knew. He taught Xiao Yan how to refine medicine, how to cultivate reiki, and how to collect Blue Flame.

The two of them had gone through ups and downs and almost had themselves killed on some occasions. On the way, they even met Hai Bodong and Yun Yun, and other powerful people. The loser who had once been looked down upon by everyone gradually rose to prominence. Finally, he had returned as a king and was ready to fulfill the agreement he had made with Nalan Yanran three years ago.

Of course, Nalan Yanran also fell in love with Xiao Yan’s other identity.

The readers simply loved so much about the plot and could not stop reading on!

Although Xiao Yan was definitely able to defeat Nalan Yanran, who had once humiliated him, what was actually involved in the process was simply exhilarating.

It was to the extent that many people were waiting for the author to charge for the article. It was better to say that charging for the article gave the author even more motivation and allowed him to finish the rest of the article!

So, following the 100,000 subscriptions, there was another wave of generous rewards!

Xu Yuan looked at the data and finally nodded his head in satisfaction. He did not expect the data on the first day to break the website record. The editor-in-chief even personally sent him a congratulatory message.

At the same time, he also brought Xu Yuan some good news. In the midst of the fans throwing money to celebrate the book’s release, the title of silver leader had been snatched away!

Although it was not Xu Yuan’s first time writing stories online, he was still not very familiar with the rules of the parallel world’s websites. He was also not very clear about the title of a fan, so he made some time and went online to search for it.

As everyone knew, Netland also had a complete set of titles for the fans of works. It was to let the fans use more practical actions to support the books they liked.

On a scale of one to ten, the ranks of fans included: apprentice, disciple, deacon, branch leader, hall master, protector, elder, sect leader, grandmaster, and alliance leader.

These titles could only be obtained by spending real money on books. Many authors had to be grateful when they had fans who were at the level of an elder. They had to write a few hundred words to express their gratitude, not to mention having a sect leader or a grandmaster.

Throughout the entire website, there were very few books that had a grandmaster-level fan. The sect leader only existed in the legend.

However, the legend actually happened for Xu Yuan.

There was a big fan named “Freya”. On the first day that “Battle Through the Heavens” was released, he directly donated 10,000,000 gold, which was equivalent to 15,000 dollars! And this was only a one-time reward!

The appearance of this big shot had once again broken the record of the highest reward on the website! It was a great addition to the topic of Battle Through the Heavens.

“This Freya is so rich. She just transferred 15,000 dollars. Isn’t she worried about the fact that the story may have a bad ending?”

“This is the first time I’ve seen a platinum leader. Can I request to be her friend?”

“She’s so generous. I’m so goddamn jealous of her. Oh my god!”

“What’s there to be jealous about? Mr. Shu’s article is worth this price. If I was rich, I would also be a platinum leader no matter how much it would cost me!”

“Stop bragging if you don’t have money. Just do your best to support the book. For me, I’ll just donate 800 dollars as a small gift.”

“I don’t have that much money. I mean, I’ll put in 300 dollars.”

Just like that, the inexplicable competition began. The readers were like a bunch of aimless sheep. When a rich man took the lead, they would try their best to follow the rich man and support him. Some of them would donate money, while others would gain the book more views.

Xu Yuan sat in front of the computer with an old-fashioned calculator in his hand, calculating how much money he would earn today.

Thanks to Freya’s leadership, Xu Yuan had calculated that the reward was already as much as 30,000 dollars! This was a number he could not even dream of getting in the original world!

Just this reward alone was enough to break the first day’s sales of Netland, not to mention the following earnings in the future. Many authors were so envious that they could not eat well.

Although Xu Yuan could not get all of it, 15,000 dollars was still not a small amount for him!

After receiving so much money from the readers, it would be inappropriate of him if he didn’t say anything. Therefore, he decided to show up in the comments section to thank all the fans for their tips.

Just as he was about to send the message, a friend request popped up, interrupting his train of thought.

At this moment, in the villa in the upscale residential area of Yanlos, a beautiful lady was holding a cup of coffee in one hand and a phone in the other. She was lying on the leather cushion on the balcony, replying to the message in an elegant manner.

“Excuse me, Miss Tingfu.” The door clicked open. An old man stood at the door respectfully and slightly bowed to the girl’s back.

“What’s the matter, Uncle Bai?” Wan Tingfu put the coffee cup aside and said without turning her head.

“It’s time to go shopping with Miss Emily. The car is already downstairs. Look…”

The butler called Uncle Bai saw that Wan Tingfu was still in her pajamas. He immediately lowered his eyes and waited for Wan Tingfu’s order.

“No, I’m not going.” Wan tingfu waved her hand impatiently. “Emily’s taste is so bad. She only recognized a few branded bags. Shopping with her is a waste of my time!”

She sniffed and waved her hand to tell uncle Bai to turn her down.

Eve after uncle Bai gently closed the door, her eyes still did not move away from the phone, staring fixedly at the account that used the withered tree as the profile picture.

“Hello, Mr. Shu, your profile picture is really interesting.”

Wan Tingfu’s eyes contained a smile and her thin lips were slightly opened. Just by looking at the style of the profile picture, she felt that Mr. Shu should be a sentimental young man.

She then looked at her own gem crown profile picture. Anyone who was slightly more careful would be able to tell that this was a live-action shoot.

Wan Tingfu never hid her identity as a tycoon on the Internet. What she liked the most was to have people pursue her and please her.

Previously, she liked to hang out in the live streaming and music circles. Each time when those streamers saw “Freya” popping up on their channel, they were immediately exhilarated because they knew she might come with a generous tip. That was why they would butter her up even before she started to tip them. As a result, there were many accounts created to imitate Freya’s name. The people went out of their way to tease those insignificant live streamers who were greedy for money. Such behavior not only damaged the reputation of “Freya” but also deprived Wan Tingfu of one of her few hobbies. What was originally a one-on-one service had now turned into a play between the live streamers and anyone whose screen name was Freya. For them, they would play up to anyone who shared this name.

Such behavior made Wan Tingfu feel deeply bored. So she shifted to the online literary circle. And coincidentally, she met the mysterious and interesting “Mr. Shu.”
