Chapter 140: Chapter 135: Villa_i

Lin Yuan also noticed the book discussion on the internet.

This was as he expected.

As one of the three exceptional novels of the early network novel era dubbed by netizens, it was not surprising that “Zhu Xian” had such a heated topic.

This could also be seen in the sales.

When “King of the Net” was serialized, its average sales rank was about eleventh in the field of youth fantasy novels in the Qin Continent!

However, the sales of “Zhu Xian” in the first month of release rushed into the top ten of the youth fantasy readers!

It is currently ranked tenth.

Some people might find it weird, why does the author write “Zhu Xian” so hyped, but the ranking is only tenth?

In fact, this ranking is already incredibly high.

Because “Zhu Xian” has a major flaw, that is, the word count!

The previous “King of the Net” at least produced five volumes.

But the book “Zhu Xian” is only in its second volume!

Each volume sold is counted as a sale of the novel.

Others have dozens of volumes of past serialized content to help boost sales, but Lin Yuan only has so much content to sell, of course the sales will suffer.

And if a novel’s plot remains consistent…

More often than not, the more words a work has, the higher its sales volume, because the work’s influence will affect more and more people over time.

In other words.

Those with less content naturally suffer in comparison in terms of sales.

You can imagine, if Naruto or One Piece didn’t have such a long series, would these two works still have such a significant impact?

Let’s take a more obvious example.

You can look at the top ten bestsellers on Point Mother.

How many books can rush into the top ten in sales when they reach hundreds of thousands of words?Findd new 𝒔tories on nov/e(l)bin(.)com

Without recommendations, or without large rewards, the works that can occupy the top ten sales on Point Mother for a long term are basically those with word counts in the millions!

Because only when there are many words, will there be more chapter subscriptions each day.

The same is true for the sales of novels in the Qin Continent.

You’re trying to compete with those who sell volumes of content, with just one or two volumes?

How can you compare?

It’s naturally a disadvantage.

This is also why Silver Blue Books previously wanted to persuade Lin Yuan to write “King of the Net” longer.

If “King of the Net” could be written longer without compromising the plot, it would have no major problem becoming one of the top ten bestsellers in the future.

Of course.

As long as Chu Kuang does not fail in his writing, the sales ranking of “Zhu Xian” will inevitably go up once more volumes accumulate, this is a matter of course.

This time.

Silver Blue Books has high hopes.

“YangFeng” even asked Chu Kuang for a novel outline plan when “Zhu Xian” Volume II was released, whimsically thinking that the grand background of this story wouldn’t end so soon, right?

But when “YangFeng” saw the “Zhu Xian” outline plan sent by Lin Yuan, his smile instantly froze.

“Eight volumes?”

Chu Kuang plans to write “Zhu Xian” in eight volumes?

Yes, indeed, it’s an improvement, three volumes more than “King of the Net”.

But the problem is…

Eight volumes isn’t much either!

It’s still a bit short of two million words!

He became anxious, reported to the chief editor immediately, and the chief editor reported it to the general editor.

The general editor was also at his wits’ end, just shook his head, and asked “YangFeng” to try to persuade him.

“Yang Feng:”…”

Last time “Web Literature” was too short, “YangFeng” was tasked to persuade Chu Kuang to write more, but Chu Kuang completely ignored him.

Can it work this time?

He plucked up his courage to make a call.

When Lin Yuan answered the phone, as soon as he heard it was about stretching out the story again, he immediately refused, “The word count is already set.”

“Alright.”

“YangFeng” was helpless, feeling his role as an editor was too humble.

Neither the chief editor nor the general editor dared to forcibly urge Chu Kuang to write more, so he definitely didn’t have the guts. He could only let Chu Kuang have his way.

Lin Yuan had no other options.

This time it wasn’t the System messing things up, the original “Zhu Xian” had just over 1.5 million words, and the System even helped him add another 100,000 words.

Next time.

Definitely next time.

He hoped that the System would have a moment of conscience and provide him with a long novel next time, preferably one that would allow him to serialise it to ten million words.

However, for Lin Yuan.

Writing more books also has its benefits.

Because now, Chu Kuang, his pseudonym, has two novels earning money together.

It’s not that “King of the Net” won’t be popular after it’s completed.

New readers will still buy books, but the number of these new readers is surely not comparable to the serialisation period.

This share of the profit, Silver Blue Books is still ready to pay on time.

With this money.

Combined with the royalties from the songs under Xian Yu’s name, there are already an extra 20 million deposits in Lin Yuan’s bank account!

Twenty million!

House prices on Blue Star are not exaggerated. A price of nearly 20 million is enough for Lin Yuan to choose a pretty nice villa.

Lin Yuan is even considering whether to buy a villa in Su City?

With his character, of course, it’s hard to make such a decision, but if it’s for his family, Lin Yuan is willing to consider this.

After all, in the future, his sisters will be in Su City.

Perhaps, he will also develop long-term in Su City in the future.

Not to mention, Lin Yuan also has the idea of bringing his mother to Su City. He doesn’t want to leave his mother alone in his hometown.

When she gets older, without her children by her side, she will inevitably feel lonely.

Moreover, Lin Yuan also has his own friends. In the future, when his friends come over, they can have a place to stay. With many rooms in the villa, there is no fear of crowding.

As a child, they were all afraid of being squeezed.

Mainly now he has always been living in Ms. Zhao’s house. She didn’t even collect the rent, so Lin Yuan felt a bit embarrassed about bringing his family here to live.

Now that he has money, it’s better to buy a house sooner and return Ms. Zhao’s place.

He simply mentioned this idea to his older sister.

“Buy a villa?”

Upon hearing this, Lin Xuan started laughing: “Of course it would be nice to live in a villa, who wouldn’t want to? But we can’t afford to buy one, can we?” “Are villas in Su City very expensive?”

“Villas in Su City start at least at ten million, do you think that’s expensive?”

Lin Xuan had heard from colleagues about house prices in Su City and knew that a senior executive at Silver Blue Books lived in a ten-million-worth villa.

Lin Yuan said, “Let’s buy one then.”

Lin Yuan wanted to take care of this matter before leaving Qin Continent.

Lin Xuan was stunned.

Do you treat a villa as Chinese cabbage?

Can you just say you want to buy one and then you can?

After a long silence, she stared at Lin Yuan and said, “You make so much money from composing?”

Lin Yuan replied, “It’s okay.”

Actually, he also had royalties from Chu Kuang.

As all contracts have been upgraded, the commission has increased a lot.

The income of Xian Yu and Chu Kuang combined, it’s very easy to earn more than ten million a month!

And in the future his income will only become higher and higher.

“Can you really afford it?”

Lin Xuan asked in shock.

Suddenly, Lin Xuan remembered that Lin Yuan had casually given her 500,000 to buy a car…

It seemed, it might really be possible?

She suddenly felt that her own brother was the biggest obstacle in her life!

With such a brother, she couldn’t find a reason why she needed to strive.

“Let’s settle then.”

Lin Yuan didn’t ask for his mother’s opinion again. If his mother had a comment, he could push it onto his sister.

Lin Xuan was a bit stunned: “Settled?”

Lin Yuan nodded: “Sister, let’s take a leave of absence from your work tomorrow, and we can go house hunting together.”
