Chapter 41: His Money is Mine
A hundred million was a piece of cake.
She was still the same as before, hanging out with Lin Li while stringing along Brother Lin Xuan.
Qin Ruoyao’s eyes gleamed as she looked at Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan rubbed his arm; why did he have this feeling of being preyed upon? Last night, Su Hua had also stared at him like that when he was eating. He felt no discomfort, just nervousness. This gaze made him feel downright nauseous.
It took Wang Dahé a long time to process the news that Lin Xuan was the author “Ah Xuan.” Pride swelled in his heart—such an awesome author turned out to be his good buddy!
And Brother Xuan wouldn’t have to worry about money anymore!
Previously, Wang Dahé was thrilled that the novel he followed got updated with hundreds of thousands of words every day, but now he thought it wasn’t appropriate.
“Brother Xuan, you should update fewer words,” Wang Dahé advised. “Just follow other authors and update four thousand to ten thousand words per day. That way, you’ll earn money for a longer period.”
“I just want to make a quick buck and then run. I need to shorten my earning cycle, so I’ll finish the novel as soon as possible,” Lin Xuan replied.
He planned to create his own novel app.
Writing on Feiyue Station was not only for making money but also for building his reputation, attracting readers to the app he would found.
He had an amazing space where writing tons of novels was no big deal. After all, one minute in the real world equaled one hour in the space. He could write several million-word novels in a day and use them to solidify his readership.
Having a stable pool of readers on a novel app with good benefits attracts authors to start new books, more good books bring more readers, creating a virtuous circle.
Lin Xuan mainly started this station to provide IPs for his future film company, and earning royalties from reading was just a bonus. Although these were small amounts, money is never too much.
“Brother Xuan, are you short on cash?” Wang Dahé asked worriedly. “You didn’t get into gambling, did you?”
There are many online scams. Once you’re addicted to online gambling, it’s easy to get stuck—losers want to recover, winners want to keep winning, and whether you win or lose is entirely controlled by the house.
“Brother Xuan, online gambling can ruin families. Don’t believe it!”
“What are you thinking?” Lin Xuan rolled his eyes. “Am I that kind of person?”
“Oh, if not, that’s good,” Wang Dahé sighed with relief.
“What do you plan to do with the money?” Wang Dahé started speculating again. Could it be that the female benefactor abandoned Brother Xuan and asked for her money back?
Lin Xuan: “Start a company.”
Wang Dahé: “!!!”
The other students in the class: “!!!”
Lin Xuan actually wanted to start a company… Some students came from wealthy families, some from average ones, but they were all still juniors in college. Starting a company seemed far-fetched for them.
Some male classmates showed admiration in their eyes.
This Lin Xuan was really something.
“Tsk, starting a company? This Lin Xuan thinks he’s all-powerful after earning some money from writing novels, doesn’t he know his place? Wait and see, Yao Yao, I guarantee he’ll end up losing everything.” Luo Yuan sneered and turned around to say disdainfully to Qin Ruoyao.
Qin Ruoyao clenched her fists.
No way! Lin Xuan can’t start a company; his money is meant for her to spend. If he loses it all, what will she spend?
“Brother Xuan, how come you’ve become so incredible after the summer break?” Wang Dahé almost knelt down and called him father.
“How about it? Do you want to work at your old man’s company later? Your old man will take care of you.” Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow.
Wang Dahé: “Father-in-law!”
Had he solved his employment problem before graduation? Having a good buddy backing him was just awesome!
“Good son.”
“By the way,” Lin Xuan tossed a printed book to Wang Dahé, “this contains some computer knowledge, learn it.”
All this stuff was from the space, which contained knowledge from different worlds.
From what he read, there shouldn’t be just one alternate world, but several, and they were quite advanced in various aspects. He might as well borrow their knowledge and successful experiences. Why waste such opportunities?
Wang Dahé flipped through the computer book Lin Xuan gave him and immediately fell in love with it, his eyes shining as he looked at the content.
“Holy crap, Brother Xuan, where did you get all this good stuff?” Wang Dahé marveled while reading.
Other classmates widened their eyes.
This novel was wildly popular, yesterday several people tipped over ten thousand yuan, let alone reaching the top of the male frequency reading list within a day…
Lin Xuan was the author… was this even real? There’s no way he could be this amazing!
“Yes.” Lin Xuan nodded, admitting it. There was nothing to hide.
Boom!
The classmates who had read Lin Xuan’s novel completely exploded.
After seeing the novel, Luo Yuan quickly opened the Feiyue Novel APP and deleted it, leaving a bad review.
[Yao Yao Loves You: What kind of trashy novel is this? As a guy, he has no backbone, a pure soft male, I don’t understand why there are so many five-star reviews, six stars given, no thanks.]
Li Siyu exclaimed in surprise, “Lin Xuan actually writes novels.”
“Si Yu, is the novel they mentioned famous?” Qin Ruoyao frowned and asked.
“Wait, let me check.”
Li Siyu opened her QQ group. She had also written novels for money before, but they flopped, and she lost patience and stopped writing. She joined many author groups and occasionally bragged about her data or faked pictures to fool others.
When others asked her which book it was, her answer was always to protect her pseudonym because otherwise, her book might get reported due to jealousy.
Recently, Lin Xuan’s novel became famous because of its massive updates and explosive data. It was hotly discussed in those author groups.
[Holy crap, this author is so cool, the writing style is incredibly immersive! The plot design is sweet where it should be and thrilling when needed!]
[I wonder how much his earnings are over these two days. His daily sales have already topped the charts.]
[I calculated it. Yesterday’s subscription volume plus tip revenue amounted to twenty-eight million! Today, although the automatic recommendation and homepage promotion are gone, his subscription volume hasn’t decreased, tips have increased, and with so many chapters, many people are chasing the story. Estimated today’s income is fifty million!]
Fifty million!
Li Siyu’s eyes widened, “Ruoyao, some authors said he could earn eighty million in these two days!”
“What?” Qin Ruoyao froze. How could writing novels make so much money?
“Si Yu, is it a mistake?” Qin Ruoyao doubted, face full of suspicion. How could Lin Xuan be so capable? Otherwise, how could he have earned so little working before? His monthly salary wasn’t enough to buy her a bag!
“It should be correct,” Li Siyu shook her head. “This person is a renowned data expert; his estimation won’t be wrong.”
Qin Ruoyao smiled happily.
If calculated, forty million a day, that’s over ten million a month. These popular novels would also sell copyrights.
Once this one is finished, he’ll start another, and the money would keep flowing endlessly.
Lin Xuan was her lickspittle, and all this money would eventually be hers.
Lin Li only spent a few thousand yuan on her each month. If Lin Xuan had over ten million, she wouldn’t worry about money at all.
Qin Ruoyao decided she must focus on staying with Lin Xuan.
No!
As soon as this thought emerged, she rejected it. Lin Li didn’t have much money now, but Lin Li would inherit Starlight Entertainment in the future, with annual revenues of tens to twenties…
