Chapter 81 I'm your landlord, is this how you treat your landlord?
Chen Mo sat on the sofa in the living room, looking at the data for the author's backend for "The Immortal Clan in the Mortal World," still feeling somewhat incredulous.
These past few days, he hasn't had time to pay attention to the novel because of the project; he's just been uploading his drafts regularly.
To my surprise, the data has changed dramatically tonight.
The number of favorites jumped from over 5,000 to 20,000.
The number of reads has reached 13,000.
This data, during the new book launch period, in the third round, is simply terrifying for a newcomer.
Chen Mo then opened the new book list and found that he had already climbed to the top of the category list and the third position on the overall list.
The first two are both established platinum-level authors with over 100,000 subscriptions to their previous works, boasting a massive readership.
For a newcomer like myself to reach third place is already a miracle.
He also ranked second on the monthly ticket chart for new books, with more than 3,000 monthly tickets.
The comments section for the latest chapter is bustling with activity, as readers discuss the plot and speculate on what will happen next.
On the donation leaderboard, there are three more alliance leaders and one silver alliance leader.
These are all backed by real money.
Chen Mo took a deep breath, a sense of accomplishment welling up inside him.
Although writing novels was originally just a side job for him to pass the time and earn some extra money, he is now very happy to see that so many people like his work.
That feeling was truly magical.
Does this also mean that one day I can earn tens of thousands of yuan a month in royalties, just like Su Xiao?
He opened QQ and saw the editor's avatar flashing.
[Huya]: Momo, are you there?
[Huya]: Did you know that your book's data exploded?
The message was sent in the afternoon, but Chen Mo was busy with the project and didn't see it.
He replied quickly.
[Chen Mo]: Sister Huya, I just saw the message, thank you!
[Chen Mo]: I've been busy with some things at the company these past few days and haven't been checking the backend much. I didn't expect the data to increase so quickly.
[Huya]: You've finally shown up.
[Huya]: I thought you got arrogant and stopped talking to me.
[Chen Mo]: How could I dare? There were just some problems with the project, and I was extremely busy.
[Huya]: Okay, I forgive you.
[Huya]: I just want to tell you that you currently have 11,000 real reads, which is definitely top-notch among newcomers.
[Huya]: Keep updating regularly, maintain the current pace and state, and don't crash.
[Huya]: I have already applied for the splash screen event and the first pre-order event for you, and they should be approved.
[Huya]: The exposure will be greater then, and the results can be pushed even higher.
[Chen Mo]: Okay, I've got it.
[Huya]: Also, don't be too aloof. Sometimes, you should check the backend every day and reply to some of the readers' comments.
Interaction is key to high reader engagement and consistent reading.
[Chen Mo]: Okay.
[Huya]: Okay, I won't bother you anymore. Go back to writing. Remember to save up your drafts so you can update more frequently when it's published.
[Chen Mo]: Hmm.
After ending his conversation with the editor, Chen Mo put down his phone, leaned back on the sofa, and began to conceive the plot of the novel.
Thanks to the recent system task rewards, his literary attribute points have increased to 83, giving him new insights and inspiration for plot development and character creation.
He closed his eyes, and the world of the novel naturally appeared in his mind.
He also put himself in the shoes of the protagonist.
As Chen Mo thought, he constructed scenes, designed dialogues, and arranged foreshadowing in his mind.
One by one, the characters came to life in his mind, and the plot segments naturally connected.
Before he knew it, he had already conceived the plot for the next thirty chapters.
From entering the "Heavenly Abyss Secret Realm," to encountering ancient ferocious beasts, to meeting a mysterious girl, and finally uncovering the secrets behind the secret realm—
Every chapter has its highlights, and every paragraph has foreshadowing.
Chen Mo opened his eyes, picked up his phone, opened the notes app, and quickly wrote down what he had just come up with.
He wrote very quickly, his fingers flying across the screen, lines of text appearing one after another.
By the time Chen Mo had memorized all the plot outlines, half an hour had passed, and it was already 11 p.m.
He then noticed that Cai Yanyan was still curled up on the sofa, fast asleep.
He had turned off the TV sometime earlier, and the living room was quiet except for the sound of his even breathing.
"Still sleeping? I wonder what you did all day, you're so tired!"
Chen Mo picked up the remote control, turned up the air conditioner temperature a little, and then picked up his phone to continue checking the data in the author's backend system.
In less than an hour, the comment section received hundreds more comments, most of which were urging for more updates.
"Author, is there going to be another update today? I want more!"
"This book is so good, I read thirty chapters in one go and couldn't stop."
"When will the protagonist break through? I'm getting so impatient!"
"Could that mysterious girl who just appeared be the female lead?"
"The author's writing is excellent, with delicate descriptions and vivid characters, much better than those formulaic novels."
"I've already tipped, please add another chapter!"
As Chen Mo read these comments, a smile unconsciously crept onto his lips.
The recognition from readers is the greatest encouragement for authors.
He thought for a moment and left a message in the author's notes section of the latest chapter.
Thank you all for your support! I'm so excited and have decided to add an extra chapter tomorrow!
After sending the message, he opened the donation leaderboard and sent thank-you notes to each of the new alliance leaders.
After finishing all this, Chen Mo put down his phone, thinking to himself that if the new book continued at the current pace, it would be available for purchase in another week.
If the first subscription can break five thousand, or even ten thousand, then this book will truly be a success.
At that time, the royalties should be quite substantial.
I wouldn't dare say over 100,000, but breaking 10,000 should be achievable
Thinking this way, Chen Mo suddenly felt more confident.
Even if things don't go well at work in the future, and I have to quit, at least I still have the path of writing novels to take.
Moreover, as his literary talent improved, he became more and more adept at writing.
Perhaps, I can really make a name for myself on this path.
Just as Chen Mo was lost in his thoughts, Cai Yanyan on the sofa suddenly stirred.
She groggily opened her eyes, stared at the ceiling, and after a few seconds of blankness, realized where she was.
"Um--
'
She stretched, and the blanket slipped off, revealing a large expanse of fair skin.
Because of her sleeping position, the strap of her slip dress slipped to one side, revealing glimpses of her chest.
Chen Mo glanced at it subconsciously, then quickly looked away.
But Cai Yanyan had already noticed.
She sat up, adjusted her bra strap, and looked at Chen Mo with a playful smile on her lips.
"Is it pretty?"
Chen Mo: "————"
He hadn't expected the woman to wake up so suddenly, and that he'd been caught red-handed.
However, now that he's been discovered, he doesn't intend to deny it.
"It's alright."
Chen Mo calmly replied, "She's still not quite as good as the women on Douyin."
"fart!"
Cai Yanyan retorted, "The women on Douyin all use beauty filters. If you're so capable, come down in person and compare with me!"
'
"7
Chen Mo remained silent.
Women's competitive spirit in this area is frighteningly strong.
However, men seem to be the same way; they also care about the duration, and they themselves need at least half an hour or more.
After all, for most people, being able to last more than ten minutes is already quite an achievement!
"Alright, stop competing."
Chen Mo stood up and said, "It's getting late, you should go back too."
"Are you kicking me out so early?"
Cai Yanyan pouted, looking aggrieved, and said, "I'm your landlord, and this is how you treat your landlord?"
"Landlords can't just stay overnight at their tenants' houses."
Chen Mo said expressionlessly, "Hurry up, I need to rest."
"Okay, okay."
Seeing Chen Mo's resolute attitude, Cai Yanyan knew that there was no point in staying any longer, so she had no choice but to stand up.
She picked up her bag, slowly walked to the door, turning back every few steps, her eyes filled with reluctance.
"Brother Chen Mo, are you really not going to let me stay?"
"Not keeping them."
"Then I'm leaving?"
"Take care and don't bother seeing me off."
"Are I really leaving?"
"6
Chen Mo watched her act, finding it amusing, but his face remained expressionless.
Just as Cai Yanyan's hand touched the doorknob, Chen Mo suddenly called out, "Wait a minute."
Cai Yanyan's eyes lit up, and she immediately turned around, looking at him with a smile.
"What, you can't bear to part with me and want me to stay?"
"no."
Chen Mo said expressionlessly, "Before you leave, leave me the key you have."
Cai Yanyan's smile froze instantly.
She looked down at the keys in her hand, then looked up at Chen Mo, a hint of guilt flashing in her eyes.
"This—I forgot."
She tried to bluff her way through.
"Forgot?"
Chen Mo raised an eyebrow: "So, do you remember now?"
"I remember now, I remember now."
Cai Yanyan chuckled twice, took the keys out of her bag, and handed them to Chen Mo.
""
"for you."
Chen Mo took the key, checked it, and only felt relieved after confirming that it was his.
"Alright, you can go now."
'
""
Cai Yanyan felt a little disappointed as she watched Chen Mo put the key away, but she still pretended to be indifferent.
"Let me go, who cares?"
After she finished speaking, she opened the door and went out.
As she reached the door, she suddenly turned back and said to Chen Mo, "Little brother Chen Mo, remember to think of me tomorrow~"
'
'
Chen Mo ignored her and closed the door directly.
Cai Yanyan stood outside the door, looking at the tightly closed door, and sighed.
"This man, really—"
She shook her head, clicked her high heels, and left.
Upstairs, Chen Mo walked to the window and watched Cai Yanyan's sports car drive away from the community before turning back to the living room.
After tidying up the cups and snacks on the coffee table, he went into the bedroom to take a shower and go to bed.
Too much happened today; he needs a good rest.
Meanwhile, in a large, single-level apartment on the other side of the city.
Su Xiao was dreaming.
She dreamt that she and Chen Mo got together, and while they were shopping and on a date, a woman suddenly appeared. She couldn't see her face clearly, and she wanted to take Chen Mo away from her.
"You're Chen Mo's girlfriend?"
The woman said disdainfully, "Seeing it today, it's indeed small enough. It's really unfair to Chen Mo!"
"Where am I small?"
Upon hearing this, Su Xiao became agitated and puffed out her chest defiantly, saying, "Mine is not small at all."
"Yeah?"
-
The woman exposed her breasts and said, "Shall we have a contest?"
"————" Su Xiao.
Looking at the other person's magnificent figure, she was so ashamed and angry that she didn't know what to say for a moment.
Because I'm really not as big as the other person!
"I'm sorry, I like bigger ones," Chen Mo said to her, then took another woman's hand and left.
"Chen Mo~!"
Su Xiao panicked and quickly shouted it out.
Startled, she opened her eyes and found herself still in bed.
