Chapter 111 - Contribution App and New Ranking

For several days, Yang Song's daily action was none other than going to the White Dragon Abode to cultivate in the morning and coming back home at night.

On this day, Yang Song got a call from Zhang Qinqin early in the morning.

"Dad, the app for our family is ready. I will send the link to you now, and if you have anything to add, just tell me."

"Good. By the way, it's been several days now, how is the company doing?" Yang Song thought about the popularity of the website and was curious about its statistics.

"Everything is very good so far. Currently, our website has almost 20 million users, among them, there are 13.9 million registered users. The income we have received is over 100 million C dollars."

"I see," Yang Song nodded. It was not even a week yet, but the company had already earned over 100 million. This showed that the future of Grassynovel was absolutely stable.

"This old man has a suggestion; you can ask the developers to create a lottery wheel where readers can spin once per day to get various rewards, for example, Great Energy Pill and Spirit Energy Pill. Of course, you have to lower the chance of winning them too. Right, it's best if you do it now," Yang Song added.

"This idea is very good, dad, I will surely inform the developer team after this," Zhang Qinqin replied excitedly. In her heart, she wondered why had she not thought of this awesome idea? Anyway, she could praise her father-in-law for having a great business mind.

"Then let's end the call here."

After hanging up the phone, Yang Song let out a slight smile while mumbling, "I hope Runningnovel is still doing well now."

Speaking of this Runningnovel, it actually had its own mother company which supported it from behind, this was the reason why this company could dominate the literature industry these years.

Now that his Grassynovel had come into being, that rubbish Runningnovel should feel sluggish for a while.

Yang Song could also foresee that Runningnovel would surely copy the genres of his company and try to make a comeback with it. However, Yang Song had already thought of a way to counter that.

He would use the simplest and crudest yet most effective method – offer better conditions for the authors. As long as the conditions and benefits that his company could offer were better and more satisfying that Runningnovel could, then Yang Song could think with his toe that the authors on the other side would surely 'relocate' to his company.

By then, the rise of Grassynovel would be undoubtedly unstoppable in the online literature industry. And Runningnovel would fall behind and become a second-rate website.

Maybe Runningnovel could ensure its readers by copying Grassynovel's novels, but that was far away from being able to make its status up to par with Grassynovel, because the novels on Runningnovel were generally cliché martial arts novels, and they more or less took over the majority of the entire website.

Buzz!

At this time, the vibration of his phone pulled Yang Song's back from his thoughts. Zhang Qinqin sent the link to download the contribution app software over.

But before downloading the app, Yang Song first wrote his idea to acquire Runningnovel's authors and sent to it Zhang Qinqin.

After Zhang Qinqin replied back with an "Okay", Yang Song clicked on the link to download the app.

After a few seconds, the app was downloaded successfully.

The app had a simple "Yang" word as its icon and its name was "Contribution".

After opening the app, Yang Song found that it was actually similar to a forum. All the members could upload videos and photos, however, to claim contribution points, they had to submit proofs in the "Contribution Points" option.

Then, the management team would inspect and evaluate the proof, then, the management team would give them Contribution Points based on the level of the contribution.

Yang Song, as the absolute master in this forum or this very application, could do anything he wanted, for example, he could generate infinite Contribution Points and give them to all the members.

There was also the "Store" option where members could browse various items and exchange them with Contribution Points.

Currently, only Yang Song had the power to upload items in the Store. By saying that, it meant that Yang Song could give permission to the management team or someone to upload the item in the Store.

After someone bought the item, a notification would be sent to Yang Song, and Yang Song would tell them the time to receive the item.

In this app, there was also a chat function. In the chat function, there was a ready-made group where all the Yang Family members could chat. Of course, people could also chat one-on-one personally and they could also create their personal group chat.

Overall, this app was more or less like a social media platform, the only difference was only the Yang Family members were allowed here, and only Yang Song had the ability to add new members.

Yang Song was quite satisfied with this app, and he did not have anything to add at all. Zhang Qinqin did a good job making this app.

At this moment, only Yang Song and Zhang Qinqin were seen here because it still needed Yang Song's consent to allow other members to download it.

Yang Song then sent a message to Zhang Qinqin allowing her to let other members download the app.

…

After several days, the family ranking of the Yang Family also jumped away from the area under the jurisdiction of Martial City.

At this time, the family influence points were being generated each second and the main culprit of this was of course Yang Mingfei who had become famous due to the fact that he beat other top players and won the 'number one' title.

Next, Yang Mingfei would have to battle against other top players from other parts of C Country.

By now, all the top players of other cities had already been announced. When all of them battled against each other, there would be a live broadcast nationally.

Speaking of the current ranking of the Yang Family, Yang Song was quite stunned by the number of the top families visible on the ranking board.

In the entire Martial City, there were actually 298 top families, approaching 300, that were considered to be powerful. And the Yang Family ranked 250th among the 298 top families.

"There are 249 families that I have to beat." Actually, the Yang Family ranked 250th since yesterday, but until now, it still had not risen. This portrayed how difficult it was to climb and how deep the water was in Martial City.

Some normal people might not know it, but as far as Yang Song knew, there was a rumor stating that there were over 200 families that had inexplicable links with the seven Grandmaster martial artists.

But don't forget that was just in Martial City alone. In Yang Song's estimation, he could guess that most top families in C Country all had connections with the seven Grandmasters, and the number of those top families accounted to the range of thousands, as far as Yang Song concerned.

The mission to become the top family in C Country seemed very difficult, however, Yang Song felt that it was actually a matter of time instead of the matter of difficulty. Yang Song was confident in this because he had his third son – Yang Haoxi, who was also a Grandmaster martial artist.

It was just that he had not come out of the abyss, or he had not found a way to come out for now.

Thinking of his third son, Yang Song immediately opened the "Family Influence" panel and inspected Yang Haoxi's status.

As Yang Song expected, that guy was still alive and he was still in the abyss. But there was one thing that made Yang Song feel puzzled: "Why did an abyssal beast king abduct Yang Haoxi?"

Yang Song also felt quite tricky when he thought of this.

"Does it want to establish a peaceful relationship with humans? Or does it have other ulterior motives? Or it actually… wants to mate with… Yang Haoxi?"

Yang Song gulped and imagined the fact that he would have an abyssal beast as his daughter-in-law. No, before he could even fully imagine it, he already shivered all over.

Speaking of Yang Haoxi's spouse, she had passed away when Yang Mei'er was just a few months old due to an incurable disease that even the top martial doctors could not cure.

Looking back, it was also quite strange. Yang Haoxi's wife was actually a genius in martial arts, but she actually got an unknown disease. Now that Yang Song thought about it again, he felt that it should've had something to do with her special physique that was related to… cultivation.
