Chapter 598: Li Luo, the Keeper
There is a popular saying in the online literature circle.

Ten thousand subscriptions depend on strength, and a huge hit depends on luck.

That's about the idea.

Of course, this is not entirely true, but there is some truth to this statement.

If a relatively high-quality book wants to become truly popular or even go viral, it often needs the right time and place.

The timing of Li Luo's book "Daqian Night Patrol" can be considered bad, but it can also be considered good.

The difference is that it happened to coincide with the period when the serialization of "Sacred Ruins" was at its hottest and topped the charts, before the red-haired old monster developed kidney deficiency.

With the first two parts of "The Great Ruler" and "Perfect World", "Sacred Ruins", as the third part, became extremely popular and dominated the Qidian list for nearly a year.

By April 17, when Li Luo published the book, it was only halfway through The Sacred Ruins.

But to be honest, it’s not bad.

At this stage, "One Thought Eternal" on the list is still being serialized, but the decline is already evident.

In addition, there are "Fighting Frenzy", "Douluo Dalu 3", "Tian Dao Library", and "Cultivation Chat Group".

Works like "Food Supplier", "Rebirth of the Urban Immortal Cultivator" and "Release the Witch" were also produced during this period.

"Horror Park", which has been serialized for several years, can occasionally make it to the list due to someone's occasional updates.

The urban "My 1979" and the historical "Taking the Warehouse to Daming" have become distant memories.

Li Luo just recalled it briefly before realizing that these were actually works from 2017.

During this period, Lao Ying was still writing his "Rebirth of Wealth" and had not yet shown his talent.

When Cuttlefish wrote his Dog Food Grandmaster, it was considered by readers at the time to be an absolute low point and it did not meet everyone's expectations.

Please spare my life, the king of elbows will not be born for several months.

Mao Ni's "Fighter of the Destiny" is nearing its end.

The newspaper vendor hasn't even started writing his sister's book.

Zhaizhu’s “The Shepherd’s Notes” is still lying in the draft box.

It can be said that this period is the transition period when the new gods and the old gods gradually replace each other.

Hmm... I forgot about a certain great god.

Li Luo glanced at Xu Youyu, who was still lying in his arms with a flushed face, and muttered secretly in his heart.

Our future god of going to bed early is still serializing her "Gu Dao Chang Qing" at this time.

This is also because in 16, the competition for the Rookie of the Year award among "Food Supplier", "Release that Witch" and "Rebirth of the Urban Cultivator" was too fierce.

Finally, Qidian changed its strategy of competing for the Rookie of the Year every year and instead launched the new concept of the Twelve Heavenly Kings.

According to Li Luo's speculation, when the king of pop is selected in the middle of this year, Xu Youyu will probably be on the list.

If her performance continues to improve, she might be able to compete for the top spot by the end of the year.

As for his own book...

After talking about the right time, the next thing is naturally the right location.

This is the function that Li Luo has been waiting for for a long time and finally arrived.

It can be said that the reason why the previous book "My Great Lord, Spare Me" became the first book on Qidian to exceed 100,000 average subscriptions is closely related to the launch of this function.

In other words, the direction of the subject matter of Qidian gradually turned to the light-hearted and humorous type, which is also closely related to the appearance mentioned in this chapter.

Behind this, it is also inextricably linked to the development of the times.

Li Luo doesn't care about so many things, but since there is such an opportunity, he might as well give it a try.

Currently, the chapter-by-chapter function is only available for a limited number of their new books.

As for other new book authors who participated in the testing activity for this chapter, although there were several veteran masters, none of them quite understood the opportunities here.

Only Li Luo truly understands the key.

"Speak."

Xu Youyu recovered in Li Luo's arms, crumpled the tissue in his hand into a ball, and threw it into the trash can on the ground next to him.

"Although this chapter seems interesting, is it really as good as you said before?"

"We'll know what happens after we see what happens." Li Luo was not completely sure about this.

Although we now have a first-mover advantage, there are also hidden dangers.

For example, most readers have just come across this chapter and may not be able to adapt to it immediately.

But Li Luo can personally come out to guide the situation.

After hearing Xu Youyu's question, Li Luo simply took out his mobile phone, opened the first chapter of "Daqian Night Patrol", and directly posted a comment on the chapter title.

[Rekindled]: I started reading this book on April 2017, 4. I check in here! I will come back after it is finished~
Then he went to the last sentence at the end of the third chapter and posted a message about this chapter.

【Rekindle】: How can this be enough? Where are the drafts? Send them out now!
The reputation of "Reignited" was already big. After the book was published, not only did readers tell each other about it, but they also received various rewards.

Many familiar authors heard that Chongran had published a new book and came to show their support, and the leader gave him rewards as if they were free.

At the previous annual meeting, the two platinum masters that Li Luo had invited specially formed a silver alliance.

As a result, a new book of "Daqian Night Patrol" with only more than 8,000 words had its banner displayed twice on the App page, and was exposed to all readers of the entire site.

As soon as Li Luo's two comments on this chapter were published, countless replies popped up below.

[666, is it okay for the author to check in by himself? ]

【Then I'll check in too! 】

【Check in! 】

[Tell me! Are you still going to write your old book? ]

【catch! 】

Another line in this chapter also quickly became lively.

[I was just about to say I agree, but when I saw the nickname, wow, he's pushing himself to update? ]

[How dare you say that? ]

[Oh? So you have a draft saved? Bring it up quickly! ]

[Fuck you, do you have drafts for old books? I see you update them at a fixed time every day, there must be something fishy going on! ]

Xu Youyu looked at Li Luo's tricks and was immediately surprised: "Can you play like this?"

After saying that, she couldn't wait to open her phone, and using her own author account, she went to post under Li Luo's post.

Within minutes, she was caught by other readers.

[Going to bed early is here too? Go update now! Stop reading! ]

[You! Yes, you! Don’t run away! Lock them all in the small dark room!]

Although this was the first time for readers to come into contact with Ben Zhang Shuo, they had often output it in other places on the Internet. They were familiar with Ben Zhang Shuo, which had similar barrage effects, and quickly learned the basic gameplay.

In addition, Li Luo intentionally or unintentionally made jokes and played tricks between the lines in the first three chapters, which easily fooled many people. "I think I understand a little bit, no wonder you chose this cheat code." Xu Youyu said in this chapter, holding his mobile phone for a long time, and then gradually came to his senses.

"What do you mean?" Li Luo raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile.

"I originally thought that your system of converting resentment into righteousness was just an ordinary practice of golden fingers." Xu Youyu pondered and said, "But now it seems to be very consistent with this chapter."

"It's a little hard to tell what's going on in the beginning, but it's only in the middle of the third chapter, during the daily family interactions, that some clues are revealed."

"As for the brother and sister you designed, the brother is relatively honest and simple-minded, and he is also young, while the sister is a little older and is quirky in private, but she pretends to be well-behaved and sensible in front of her parents."

"So in some daily trivial matters, the younger sister always likes to put the blame on the younger brother. If she steals sweets or catches a bug, she will blame it on the younger brother, which makes the younger brother feel a little bit of resentment."

"The protagonist then intervenes as a third party, describing a daily interaction with jokes, and incidentally absorbs his brother's grievances and turns them into righteousness."

"The two little guys' personalities are well-established, and their daily interactions are relaxed and interesting. They are well-written in this chapter, which enhances the interaction among readers."

“The protagonist doesn’t do nothing, and handling household chores can also help with his cultivation, so readers won’t be impatient with this kind of daily content, and the rhythm is well transitioned.”

Xu Youyu has been making progress in the past two or three years of writing books.

In particular, he often discussed things related to online literature with Li Luo. In this regard, he was much more sensitive than the average person and could quickly analyze the advantages of it.

The faster he spoke and the more he analyzed, the brighter his eyes became, and the more he felt the details and ingenuity in Li Luo's design.

When people do something and are suspected by others, they will feel resentful to a certain extent.

Some matters involve life and death, and the anger and resentment can be so great that it covers half the sky.

Some are just daily trivialities, and the grievance is like a wisp of smoke. Even if the protagonist does not deal with it, after a few days, the person involved will not care about it and it may dissipate on its own.

This design, when put into the main storyline, can serve as a driving force for the protagonist to join the Night Watch, and also pave the way for taking over difficult cases later.

At the same time, it can help with daily details and be used to create some interesting characters.

"What about the fiancée design?" Xu Youyu asked again, "I remember you said in the previous discussion that the main plot of this book is to kill the emperor, the golden finger is useful, and the emotional line is the fiancée design."

"Yeah." Li Luo nodded. "You'll know if you read Fighter of the Destiny."

"The protagonist and his fiancée have never met each other. The engagement was arranged by their elders."

"Then, the two met in private, in another secret identity and manner, but neither knew the other's true identity."

"So when two people secretly develop feelings for each other, they will naturally resist the open marriage."

"At this time, if you were the protagonist and the heroine, what would you do?"

Xu Youyu blinked and said without hesitation: "Of course I'm going to cancel the engagement."

"If we cancel the engagement, we have to meet, right?" Li Luo said with a smile, "What do you think the scene will be like?"

"Yes..." Xu Youyu's mouth twitched, "It's a bit socially dead."

"It's actually a very old-fashioned way of using information asymmetry, but it's turned into a fantasy version of a netizen meeting in person." Li Luo reminded, "Similar writing methods can also be very interesting if you put them in an urban setting."

"For example?" Xu Youyu knew that Li Luo had many ideas, so he couldn't help but ask.

"For example, the protagonist is an online writer, and the heroine is an illustrator who draws sexy illustrations for his novels." Li Luo said without hesitation, "But in fact, the protagonist is the heroine's junior in the same university, and the heroine is also the protagonist's sophomore assistant. Doesn't the story tension come immediately?"

"That sounds interesting." Xu Youyu stroked his chin and thought carefully, then couldn't help but sigh, "You're always so suspenseful, writing but not writing. I really want to lock you up and not give you food if you don't write."

"Sister Yu will definitely not bear it."

"Oh, how do you know if you don't try?" Xu Youyu raised his eyebrows, then turned over and sat astride Li Luo, looking as if he was going to execute him on the spot.

Just then, there was a knock on the bedroom door.

Ying Chanxi's voice came from the corridor.

"Li Luo, Senior, I washed some fruit. Can you open the door and come in?"

Two or three seconds later, Ying Chanxi pushed open the bedroom door, holding a plate of fruit in his hand, and put it down on the desk.

At this time, Xu Youyu was already sitting cross-legged on the bed.

Li Luo sat at the desk seriously, picked up a grape and put it into his mouth.

"How's the new book going?"

Ying Chanxi put his right hand on the back of the chair, did not leave in a hurry, and asked Li Luo.

"Not bad." Li Luo said this, and took out his mobile phone to take a look, and found that the Silver Alliance prompt was floating at the top of the App again.

The title of the book displayed is still "Daqian Night Patrol".

"Huh?" Li Luo was stunned for a moment, clicked into the Silver Alliance's page, and took a look at who gave the reward.

If the reward is from a big author, then it is considered a favor, just like a red envelope. If the other person publishes a new book in the future, you still have to return it and make a note of it.

However, after seeing the words [Sheng Sheng Never Stops] displayed above, Li Luo held his forehead in helplessness.

This girl is really a waste of money.

Even if Aunt Yuan gives you more pocket money than you can spend, you can't be so wasteful.

"What is this?" Ying Chanxi saw him staring at the phone screen in silence, and couldn't help but come over to take a look, "Is this the Silver Alliance? Who gave you the reward? Hmm..."

After seeing the nickname of the person who gave the reward, Ying Chanxi suddenly stopped talking.

After tasting some fruit in Xu Youyu's room, Li Luo got up and said goodbye and returned to his bedroom.

In my free time in the afternoon, I continue writing and save as many drafts as possible.

Just before evening, he received rewards from [Xixi Bu Xixi] and [Go to bed early and you will grow taller] from the Silver Alliance.

On the first day of publishing the book, I received rewards from five silver alliances and dozens of alliance leaders.

"Daqian Night Patrol" has not yet been put on the shelves for charging, but it has already rushed to the top of the best-selling list, even "Sacred Ruins" was pushed down one place and gave up the first place.

As for Li Luo's "I'm Really Not a Star", it is still hovering around the top ten, and is naturally suppressed by the new book.

Even though it was only one day, the traffic was full.

After only half a day of being published, the number of collections of this book soared to 100,000, and it also topped the list of new books.

Although it is a water collection blessed by the Silver Alliance, it is enough to show how fierce the momentum of this new book is.

[Qianzhou]: The number of readers on the first day exceeded 10,000, but this is due to many external factors, and it may decline in the future.

[Qianzhou]: Whether you can remain stable in the future depends on your subsequent content.

This chapter of the new book about the rekindling of the Red, Platinum and Gold alliances talks about the test launch of new functions, plus the bombardment of the five Silver alliances, so it is normal to have this effect.

Li Luo was not surprised or surprised at all. He just kept a calm mind and accompanied Ying Chanxi to the driving school to take the third subject test the next day.

When I returned to school for evening self-study in the evening, I was urged by Zhu Yufei and other loyal fans to update their works.

"We are now also genuine readers." Zhu Yufei laughed, "We all use the genuine Qidian App to read books!"

When Li Luo heard this, he rolled his eyes.

I wonder who are the people who turn to piracy as soon as the products are put on the shelves and charged?

You have the nerve to say that.

Look at my deskmate and the person sitting in front of me, they are the real sponsors.
