Chapter 600: Just testing your lung capacity
Lin Xiuhong was sitting in the driver's seat of the Fit at this time, trying hard to maintain the reserve that an elder should have.
But I still couldn't help but hold the steering wheel tightly with both hands, rubbing it up and down quietly, feeling the texture and feel of the car.
To be honest, this car is definitely not as good as the one Li Luo bought for Li Guohong before.
But if Li Luo really spent so much money to buy it, Lin Xiuhong would probably just feel sorry for the money.
Sitting in the driver's seat, Lin Xiuhong listened to Ying Chanxi explaining the origin and various configurations of the car while carefully starting the engine.
After driving Li Luo and Ying Chanxi around the community twice, Lin Xiuhong parked the car contentedly.
"I'm not saying anything bad about you, but next time at least let us know in advance." Lin Xiuhong actually liked this car very much, but at this time she still tried to purse the corners of her mouth that were slightly raised and said to them, "I said we would buy it during the summer vacation, and now Xixi can't drive it."
"Aunt Lin is here." Ying Chanxi said with a smile, "Aunt Lin will drive for me first. I will only use the car on weekends at most."
"Okay." Lin Xiuhong accepted it reluctantly, "I really can't do anything about you."
"Auntie Lin is the best~"
After getting out of the car, the three went upstairs.
While having lunch at noon, Li Luo was looking at his phone while picking up food and taking a look at the current situation of Qidian.
After about half a month of activity testing, Qidian found that this thing mentioned in this chapter does have many benefits.
So this thing was quickly brought to the table and promoted to all the books currently being serialized.
Therefore, readers of all the books, including "I'm Really Not a Star" and Xu Youyu's "Gu Dao Changqing", can publish this chapter.
But Li Luo's "Daqian Night Patrol" has the first-mover advantage after all, and Li Luo often uses the author's account to publish content within the chapters.
Therefore, in just half a month, the dozens of chapters of "Daqian Night Patrol" have accumulated a considerable amount of wealth.
Well...actually it is the interaction of a large number of readers in this chapter.
Under normal circumstances, Li Luo updates three chapters of 6000 words every day during the release of his new book.
Readers who read quickly may be able to scan it in just a few minutes.
Even if you watch it slowly, it will only take about ten minutes.
As a result, since this chapter started talking about this, the time it takes to read a chapter can sometimes even increase several times.
In April, there were only a few new books available at the start of this chapter.
And "Daqian Night Patrol" is the place with the largest traffic, the author is the best at making it lively, and the readers have the strongest feedback.
Naturally, it attracted a large number of readers who were keen on reading this chapter.
Once this snowball momentum is formed, with advantages accumulating bit by bit, the momentum of Li Luo's new book will be unstoppable.
Originally, according to Qianzhou and the editor-in-chief, when platinum masters like Li Luo publish books, it will be particularly lively.
Even if many readers are not the author's target audience, they may come to join in the fun and see what the author is writing because of his fame and after hearing that he has published a book.
But if the beginning of the book is not particularly appealing, most people will just put it on the bookshelf and let it gather dust instead of reading it all the way from the beginning.
Therefore, there will be a peak period of reading of the new book in the first two days after the book is released, but in the following week, the number of readers may decline.
However, the data trends in Li Luo's book "Daqian Night Patrol" are completely different.
From over 10,000 readers on the first day of the book's publication, to 12,000 on the second day, and then to 14,000 a week later, it has been growing steadily almost every day.
In the second week, although the increase was not so obvious, it still grew steadily to 15,000 followers.
You have to know that at this time, Li Luo had only spent half a month writing this book, and the total number of words was less than 100,000.
Editor-in-chief Hongdou was originally a little worried about Li Luo's expulsion from the party and dismissal from office, but now it seems that she was worrying too much.
The main reason is that Li Luo's direct transition from urban entertainment to fantasy is too big a leap.
"I'm Really Not a Celebrity" is Li Luo's first book.
No matter which editor it is, they would not be particularly optimistic when faced with this situation.
It’s just that editor-in-chief Hongdou felt that Li Luo was still young and had a teenage mentality, and probably wouldn’t listen to advice, so she simply let him try it out on his own.
After hitting a wall and failing once, you will realize that writing online articles is not such a simple thing.
According to the editor-in-chief Hongdou, Li Luo's second book could try to transform into a serious urban novel.
Then see if I can add some fantasy elements to urban writing, and finally make a complete transformation.
But no one expected that Li Luo's "Daqian Night Patrol" would reach the peak as soon as it was presented.
This momentum alone is far superior to his previous book.
"Your new book won't affect your studies, right?" Lin Xiuhong asked when she saw Li Luo reading on his phone, "Can you handle updating two books at the same time?"
"Didn't the results of the second mock exam come out? The results didn't drop." Li Luo said, "It didn't have much of an impact."
"You were ranked second in the grade in the second mock test, right?" Lin Xiuhong asked, "The overall ranking seemed to be around 80?"
"No. 89."
"How much is Xixi?"
"No. 7."
"Look at this." Lin Xiuhong raised her eyebrows and asked, "Why is Xixi ranked 7th, but you are only 89th?"
Li Luo: "...Then why don't you ask Xixi why she is only ranked 7th? Why don't you come back with 1st place?"
"That overall ranking is different." Ying Chanxi explained to Lin Xiuhong, "It's the overall ranking of the best dozens of high schools in the province. It's almost equivalent to the college entrance examination ranking."
In fact, Lin Xiuhong just wanted to find an excuse to speak.
It is true that Li Luo is getting better and better, and has completely exceeded the scope of normal children.
This made her, as a mother, feel a little lost in the feeling of being a parent.
"Just enjoy your life." Li Luo said with a smile, "Instead of worrying about this, you might as well go to the villa and take a look whenever you have time."
"Although Steward Liu is watching, we still have to check on them occasionally, right?"
"Dad is tinkering with his hot pot restaurant all day, and you have nothing to do, so it would be a good idea to go and keep an eye on the renovations."
"Do I need you to tell me that?" Lin Xiuhong rolled her eyes at him. "Of course I'll go check out the renovations. They've spent so much money."
While chatting at the dinner table, Li Luo continued to read his novel.
In addition to "Daqian Night Patrol", his "I'm Really Not a Star" has also been in good shape recently.
I had originally written about five or six million words, and was basically in the process of writing a long novel for retirement.
As a result, the impact of the double traffic from the new book actually brought a lot of benefits to "I'm Really Not a Celebrity".
Now that the chapter has been opened, the new chapter has also become lively. Some people even shared their tickets to Yuan Wanqing's concert in the chapter.
Seeing this, Li Luo suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Yan Zhusheng who was eating obediently beside him: "What date is Aunt Yuan's concert in Yuhang City scheduled for?"
"The seventh of this month." Yan Zhusheng said, "This Sunday."
"How are the preparations going?" Li Luo smiled, looking at Yan Zhusheng's profile and said, "It's time to sing a new song again."
"Mom and her team will probably be here the day after tomorrow." Yan Zhusheng counted on his fingers, "By then I'll have to take some time off to help with rehearsals and practice."
"Yeah." Li Luo nodded. "What do you think of the video I recommended to Aunt Yuan?"
"It's all filmed." Yan Zhusheng nodded, "I just recorded the song last week and the video is still being edited."
"That's definitely in time." Li Luo said with a smile, "It's just right for the promotion of Little Joy."
"Will you come then?" Yan Zhusheng blinked, staring at Li Luo intently, "Mom asked me if you want to sing too?"
"Me?" Li Luo was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "I'm not a professional singer, so I won't go up and make a fool of myself, right?"
"Your singing skills are not bad either." Yan Zhusheng said seriously, "Don't I usually teach you?"
Li Luo: "...How dare you say that?"
Although Li Luo’s singing skills are indeed not bad, and Yan Zhusheng occasionally teaches him some techniques on how to use his voice correctly, he is definitely not as good as a professional like Yan Zhusheng.
All I can say is that she is qualified to participate in "The Voice of China". If she performs well, she may be able to advance to the next few rounds of eliminations.
His strength lies mainly in creation.
When he sings offline, his level is impressive enough to impress people.
Li Luo never gets stage fright when attending concerts organized by the rock club at school.
But if you really go on the concert stage and compare yourself with professional singers like Yuan Wanqing and Yan Zhusheng, it will be easy to expose your own voice flaws.
but……
Looking at Yan Zhusheng's expectant expression, Li Luo still couldn't bear to refuse.
Especially when I think of Yan Zhusheng's unintentional complaint a while ago, saying that he seldom went out on dates with her alone.
Li Luo thought about it and nodded, saying, "Then ask Aunt Yuan. If she agrees, I will go on stage with you."
"Okay~" Yan Zhusheng's eyes lit up, and he nodded like a chick pecking at rice, and immediately agreed.
After hearing what Li Luo said earlier, Yan Zhusheng thought he was going to refuse.
As a result, there was a sudden turn of events, which made her very happy.
"Are you going to sing at someone's concert?" Lin Xiuhong asked worriedly, "Don't cause trouble for your Aunt Yuan."
"We'll just sing that one song, a new song from Little Joy." Li Luo said simply.
"Aunt Lin, Li Luo is fine." Yan Zhusheng quickly said to Lin Xiuhong, "He's actually a great singer. We can just rehearse him a few times when the time comes."
When Ying Chanxi heard this, he immediately looked sideways at his sister.
How many times do you want to arrange it?
It's obvious that you just want to take more leave and spend more time alone with Li Luo, right?
This little abacus is really loud!
But Ying Chanxi had no other choice. He couldn't just take a leave of absence and watch the rehearsal just to keep an eye on them, right?
I can only let my sister win first.
……
June 5, afternoon.
Li Luo and Yan Zhusheng each wrote a leave note in Kong Junxiang's office, then said goodbye and left, walked out of the teaching building and came to the school gate.
Xiaowen, the assistant in charge of pick-up and drop-off, was sitting in the nanny car at this time.
Seeing the two people coming out of the Affiliated No. 1 Middle School, he quickly opened the car door and waved to them happily: "Long time no see!"
"Hello, Sister Xiaowen." Yan Zhusheng greeted obediently, and Li Luo also greeted her. The two of them sat side by side in the empty seat in the back row.
"These two days are for basic rehearsals." Xiao Wen told the driver to drive and then said to the two of them, "Zhu Sheng is already very familiar with it, but this should be Li Luo's first time, right?"
"Yeah." Li Luo nodded, "That must be the first time."
"Zhu Sheng still has a song to sing with Sister Qing, but you only have the new song to sing with Zhu Sheng." Xiao Wen said, "When the time comes, you just need to get in touch with the band teachers and get familiar with the planning of the movement lines on stage."
"No problem." Li Luo nodded in agreement.
The nanny car drove for more than half an hour and finally arrived at the concert parking lot.
Li Luo and Yan Zhusheng followed Xiaowen into the gymnasium entrance and came to the lounge first.
"You two get ready first. I'll go ask when it's your turn to rehearse." After Xiaowen said that, she walked out of the lounge and gave the space to the two of them.
As soon as Xiaowen left, Yan Zhusheng immediately turned his head to look at Li Luo, with an eager expression in his eyes.
Li Luo glanced at her, took a half step back, and said with a smile: "Hey, what do you mean? Are you going to take advantage of me?"
"That's not impossible." Yan Zhusheng blinked and gradually approached Li Luo. "Sister Xiaowen also said just now that this is your first time. I can teach you."
"Where did you learn all this?"
"I learned it from your book."
"When did I ever write something like this? Don't talk nonsense."
"It's clearly written in it." Yan Zhusheng said seriously, "When the fox demon pretending to be the daughter of an aristocratic family interacted with the protagonist, didn't she say something similar?"
Li Luo: “…”
Well...he was mainly led astray by Ying Chanxi and Yan Zhusheng.
Ever since they asked him last time which female character in the new book resembled whom, whenever he wrote about fox spirits, he couldn't help but put himself in Xu Youyu's shoes.
As I wrote, the vixen-like scent could no longer be concealed.
"The rehearsal will definitely take a while." Yan Zhusheng moved closer to Li Luo and pressed himself against him. "We can practice for a while first."
"What are you practicing?" Li Luo held her slender waist with his hands and couldn't help pinching her twice. "Aren't we here to sing?"
"Singing requires the support of lung capacity." Yan Zhusheng said seriously, his hands entangled around Li Luo's neck like vines, "Let me test you first."
After saying that, she stood on tiptoe and tested him seriously and responsibly.
Li Luo and Yan Zhusheng did not separate until both of them were out of breath and there was a knock on the door.
Xiaowen knocked on the door and waited for a few seconds before opening the door and poking her head in. She then said, "You two are about to start your rehearsal. The band teacher is waiting."
