After several hours, Zhou Lei stopped typing. His fingers were exhausted. He removed his Idea Gla.s.ses for fear that they might give him ideas that were too good to not resume typing!He turned his head down and looked at his hands. Both of them were reddish, swelling and shivering.
"Ahh, this was too hard. Is there something to alleviate this pain, System?"
"Shop Category locked. Host, please spin the roulette first and get [Medicine] category."
"Eh, later," Zhou Lei unenthusiastically replied.
He looked at the doc.u.ment. At the bottom left corner, it said: 400,051 words. He then turned his attention to the time. It was 4:32 pm. He remembered that he woke up on 12:29 nn.
The first time he typed, he typed for four hours, and he got himself 40,000 words, and thus, 20 chapters.
This time, he typed for four hours as well, but he got ten times more words, 400,000, and thus, ten times more chapters, 200.
Almost the same amount of time, yet the number of words was drastically different!
"What made this dramatic change?" Zhou Lei thought. "Is it because I was so pumped up earlier?"
Whatever it was, he didn"t care. What he cared about was the fact that he had typed more than 400,000 words in only four hours!
Is that even possible?!
I don"t think so!
Me neither!
Eh, who are you?
No one!
Uhh...
Anyways!
He already decided on releasing every single one today.
On his first twenty chapters, only five were out. That meant that there were still 15 chapters in the previous stockpile. Add to that the recently made 200 chapters, and the novel was already a really long one!
"Hehehe, I only needed 5 chapters, but I ended up with 195 more than needed... I"m too hardworking!" Zhou Lei said.
A System prompt appeared in front of Zhou Lei as he said that.
Quest: Be modense
Description: In all of the j.a.panese novels, the dense but modest main character always gets all of the girls. This is the way to be popular.
Reward: 1 Mind-Controlling Cube, 10 upgrade points
Zhou Lei was confused for two reasons.
"Eh, System, didn"t I turn off notifications?" he asked.
"Host, this is a quest and therefore cannot be turned off," System answered.
"Oh... then why did you show me this quest again? I already know about it," Zhou Lei asked.
"Host, please be conscious of your actions, as they were in conflict with the quest earlier," System answered again.
"Ahh, what conflict? I didn"t do anything that was not modest, did I?" Zhou Lei replied.
"Host, please listen," System said before playing a recording.
"I"m too hardworking!" the recording said before it stopped abruptly.
"..."
"..."
"...What, that"s it?" Zhou Lei was dumbfounded.
"Yes, host. Please refrain from doing such acts in the future," System advised Zhou Lei.
"Err, okay then." Zhou Lei didn"t think this was that big of a matter.
He then copied and pasted every single chapter into separate ones, after which he published them immediately. Doing this took a whole 30 minutes.
"This took too long, man..." Zhou Lei complained.
.....
On Webnovel.com.
The Power Rankings were always in a fixed state for the past few months. The top three was comprised of "Library of Purgatory"s Path", followed by "Half Marks Completely Visible Marriage", and then "The Queen"s Avatar". These three frequently mixed positions with each other, but none ever stepped outside the top three.
This status quo was maintained until two days ago when a Level 5 user published a novel called "Conqueror of the Realms", which blew up upon release.
The whole landscape was changed!
The one on top was not a contracted novel, which meant that it was absolutely free for anyone to read! The rest on the top 10 of the Power Rankings were all premium and needed payment before one was granted access to read.
The reviews on the novel were sparkling!
With more than a thousand reviews and counting, the 4.9-star rating was very impressive.
People all over the internet were talking about it. It actually gave Webnovel.com a lot more exposure!
They came for "Conqueror of the Realms", but they discovered that the other novels were, although not even in the same league as the former, at the very least, entertaining to read!
With only 5 chapters out, it had already captivated the hearts of almost every reader on Webnovel.com.
The comments section on the latest chapter.
[Ah, I don"t want to know what will happen to his father :"]
[Is this gonna be like those cliche novels? Im still in tho if it is]
[That cliff man, it"s depressing]
[LOL "Everyone spit blood, enough to form a river" LOL]
They eagerly waited for the second chapter of the day.
A student in school was listening to cla.s.s diligently.
Suddenly, the phone rang, and everyone"s attention was directed toward him. He smiled awkwardly and took his phone out. He looked at his phone and saw a notification from the Webnovel.com app.
"Conqueror of the Realms released a new chapter 6, First Realm Problems".
"Yes, Chapter 6 is out...," said the student as he tapped the notification and prepared to read it.
The teacher noticed that the student was still using his phone and gently cleared her throat.
The student quickly realized and smiled again, but this time, he put the phone back in his pocket.
It rang again.
"Ah.... wait, let me set it to silent," the student declared as he took out his phone again and tapped on the speaker icon until it went from "Sound", to "Vibrate", and finally, "Silent".
After that, he looked at the notification that caused his phone to ring.
"Conqueror of the Realms released 2 new chapters".
"Ooh, two new chapters." The student was visibly pleased when he saw the notification.
Suddenly, another one appeared.
"Conqueror of the Realms released 3 new chapters".
Then another one, then another, and another!
"Conqueror of the Realms released 4 new chapters".
"Conqueror of the Realms released 5 new chapters".
"Conqueror of the Realms released 6 new chapters".
...
"Conqueror of the Realms released 213 new chapters".
"Conqueror of the Realms released 214 new chapters".
"Conqueror of the Realms released 215 new chapters".
The student ended up falling into a daze.
A ma.s.s release of 215 f**king chapters?!
What the f**k?!
