Chapter 59: Astonishing Remuneration (Seeking Collection and Recommendation)

  Time is coming soon on December 15th, yy's day for paying manuscript fees.

  When Lu Li received the transfer message at noon and saw his manuscript fee, he was really frightened. Just the reward from Letian Zhiming, after deducting the share, there were more than 6 million. Moreover, there were also rewards from Chenmo Jingjing, Wang Lao Er's father, and a series of rewards from Wang Meng. These were just some super-large rewards. Other rewards were small in amount, but they couldn't be underestimated, and when gathered together, they also formed a large sum of money.

  Moreover, Lu Li's manuscript fee for this month is not limited to the rewards from readers, because "The Archery" is a premium book with a high subscription rate. By the end of the month, the average subscription had already reached around 500,000. And this month, Lu Li updated nearly 500,000 words as VIP content.

  This works out to a manuscript fee of around 2-3 million. The main station's results are already so against the sky, "Shooting Hoops" has naturally been sent to other channels early on, and even opened up a green light, with updates almost synchronized with the main station, so channel revenue is also considerable

  Although there is only one station, the channels are not few. This is almost the same as on Earth. The difference is estimated to be that these channels come from yy and the manuscript fee is settled once a month, and will not be settled once every six months.

  Adding income from other channels, Lu Li's manuscript fees directly broke 20 million.

  At first glance, compared to other wealthy writers who earn tens of millions a year, Lu Li's royalties are nothing, but this is just Lu Li's income for one month. Moreover, this is still the first book that Lu Li has put on the shelves and has achieved such results. In addition, the simplified and traditional Chinese publication rights, as well as film and television game adaptation rights of "The Archery" are estimated to be in Lu Li's hands, so relying on the popularity of "The Archery", this book will bring much more income to Lu Li than this.

  Lu Li thought that when he received his manuscript fee last month, he was already lamenting the high income of online writers. But now it seems that even last month's lamentation was a bit premature. No wonder countless people in this world and space have devoted themselves to online writing, although few succeed, but once successful, their high income will also make many people envy.

  Of course, Lü Li would never have entered the online literature world if he didn't have the resources from his past life to support him, because on Earth, Lü Li had once been a street vendor for a period of time.

  "It seems that buying a house back home this year won't be a problem." Lu Li muttered to himself as he walked along the road of Huaxia Music Academy.

  Lu Li didn't send the money back home now, but instead planned to wait until he got back himself before doing these things.

  But not far from Lu Li, in a community in Huajing City, Yuan Xiaodong was now grinning from ear to ear, unable to close his mouth.

  Last month, Yuan Xiaodong opened a betting post on the Tianya Forum with this ID, which was to bet on the monthly ticket battle of "The Legend of Arching". Originally, entering the top ten would have been enough for Yuan Xiaodong to make a big profit, because almost everyone didn't think highly of "The Legend of Arching" and bought that it couldn't enter the top ten.

  Even if a few people bought "The Archery" and made it into the top ten, the odds are still the same, so Yuan Xiaodong lost to these few people, but he earned more. It's just that because someone questioned the score of "The Archery" was brushed, these people also refused to admit it, and did not give Yuan Xiaodong Tianyuan coin.

  It wasn't until later, after the revelations of a certain someone, the official announcement from yy, and various interviews, that no one dared to question whether "The Archer" was a cheat, and they had to acknowledge the emergence of yet another great master.

  Now that it has been proven that "The Archery" is not a brush, the people who made the bet naturally don't want to owe anymore, and slowly they all paid the Sky Coin to Yuan Xiaodong. And today, the last person who made the bet also paid the Sky Coin to Yuan Xiaodong.

  Yuan Xiaodong immediately went to the black market of the Sky Coin and sold these Sky Coins for RMB. Although the Sky Coin and yy coin are in a ratio of 100:1, which is not very valuable, but with a large quantity, it's also quite impressive.

  At this moment, Yuan Xiaodong was looking at the extra money in his online bank account, grinning from ear to ear. To think that after posting the betting thread and seeing the poor monthly ticket sales of "The Archer" earlier, Yuan Xiaodong had almost cried, but unexpectedly "The Archer" not only made it into the top ten, but also climbed to the top five, and in the end, Le Tianzhiming single-handedly sent "The Archer" to the championship.

  Such a god-level twist stunned countless people, but for Yuan Xiaodong, it was a pleasant surprise.

  "Hmm, now that I have a good game ID, I can buy some great equipment and utterly destroy that guy who killed me last time." Yuan Xiaodong thought to himself, seemingly envisioning the thrilling scene of him dominating in the game.

  Of course, this income can be said to be entirely due to the credit of "Shooting Eagle", Yuan Xiaodong still topped up some YY coins and expressed his gratitude before going to play games.

  Although Lu Li's income is already considerable, he still works very hard at writing. The reason is that Lu Li feels the pressure of time, not for any other reason, but because there are too many classics in his mind, and if he wants to move them all, it's impossible. However, Lu Li really wants the earth's works to shine with due light here as well.

  Being able to help Lu Li gain income and change his life circumstances is one aspect, but on the other hand, it's also because Lu Li can't see anything familiar in this world, except for history, music, movies, and these things are completely different from Earth, making Lu Li feel like he has arrived at a completely strange place.

  When a person suddenly leaves the place where they have lived for decades and goes to a completely unfamiliar place that they can never return to, the feeling of strangeness is really unbearable.

  Although this place is extremely similar to Earth, Lu Li always felt that something was missing. Perhaps, by moving some things from Earth over here, when these things shine in this world, he would consider this place as Earth.

  Moreover, just moving Luo Li already feels like there isn't enough time, let alone when it comes to moving music and movies later on. Luo Li's schedule will be incredibly tight. Furthermore, he still has to learn many things, with unprecedented pressure coming his way.

  Lu Di returned to his dormitory and began typing away with all his might.

  But now, Lu Li sat in front of the computer for half a day and didn't type out a single word.

  Ludian had already finished moving the entire content of "The Archery" yesterday, and now he has started coding the next book. This book also makes Ludian very entangled.

  I previously impulsively released the news about "The Shooting of the Divine Eagle Trilogy", so next I'll have to start posting "The Divine Eagle" book. What's been troubling Lu Li is one of the plotlines, and I'm afraid that by then I'll become the public enemy of readers.

  Thinking of Jin Dashao back then, it was because of this kind of plot that readers were blocked at the door. What difficulties will he encounter again? Hopefully, when the time comes, book friends won't give themselves too many "surprises".

  But since the words have already been spoken, Lu Li cannot take back what he has written. Lu Li also thought about bringing out the last part of the trilogy first, but felt that this was not a good idea either. Even Lu Li thought about slightly modifying that plot to make it perfect, so there shouldn't be any trouble.

  But Lu Li thought about it and denied this idea. To say nothing of the fact that after such a change, with his current level of writing skills, he would be unable to perfect the plot of "The Divine Eagle" before and after, let alone the description of the word "love", which might not have that kind of flavor.

  Since "The Divine Eagle" is widely regarded as a romance novel, Lu Li did not want his changes to make the book's "romance" lose its luster.

  It was at this moment that Lu Li sat in front of the computer, feeling very conflicted, and hadn't written a single word for half a day.

  Just as he was hesitating, a phone call came in.

  Lu Li picked up the phone and saw that it was Zhao Wenkui from Hua Xin Publishing House calling. He answered the call.

  "Hello, is this Lu Li? The publishing contract for 'Shooting' has been drafted. When can we sign it?"

  Upon hearing Zhao Wenkui's words, Lu Li knew that the publication date of "The Archery" was approaching and replied: "I'll have time tomorrow, but I don't know if you're available?"

  "Convenient, convenient." Zhao Wenkui was delighted to hear Lu Li's words. Now is the best time for the publication of "Shooting Hoops", the earlier the better.

  "Okay, then you name a place and I'll come over when the time is right." Lu Li said.

  "Let's meet at 'Friends' Teahouse in Huajing City tomorrow then." Zhao Wenkui said directly.

  "Alright, see you tomorrow."

  "Friend" tea house, Lu Li didn't know how to get there, but when the time came, she could take a taxi and find it. Lu Li wasn't picky about anything else either. It's just that tomorrow's classes will probably be delayed for a day.

  "Right, let's see if Huaxin Publishing House has any intention of holding a book signing event. At that time, we can give the book friends a preventive shot at the book signing event, and I estimate that the situation will be better by then." Lu Li thought to herself.

  Actually, Lü Li originally wanted to hold a signing event, not because he was vain and wanted to be famous, but just to promote "The Eagle Shooting Heroes" properly. Moreover, Lü Li didn't feel uncomfortable about being exposed, as he never intended to hide behind the scenes, but rather planned to mix with the entertainment industry.

  It seems that the publishing house doesn't have such intention now, which makes Lu Li feel a bit awkward. Does he need to bring it up himself? How will people from the publishing house look at him then?

  Lu Li smiled wryly, feeling overwhelmed. However, he shook his head and threw away these thoughts, as time was extremely limited now. Where could he still consider so many things? When the time came to face difficulties, he would deal with them then; for now, it was more important to focus on writing diligently.

  With this thought, Lu Li's hands, which had been still for half a day without typing out a single word, finally sprang into action and began to fly across the keyboard.

  "A woman from Yue picks lotus flowers by the autumn water's edge, her slender sleeves and light silk robe revealing a glimpse of golden bangles. The reflection of the flower in the water is like a face, its fragrance shared only with the tangled threads. At Chicken Mountain Creek, the wind and waves are late, the mist is heavy and the smoke is light, no sign of companions on the way back. Faintly, the song of the returning boatman can be heard from afar, longing drawing near to the Jiangnan shore..."

  On the computer screen, the number of words is slowly increasing.

  Special thanks to Junjun Lin and Huang He for their rewards.
