Chapter 23: Return to Sweet City
Ye Kai will not write any more web novels in the future.
Because of his uniqueness, online novels are often millions of words. Even two million, three million word web novels abound, and it is a waste of time to write them.
If you only write some literary works and essays, then at most about 500,000 words.
Even if there is a very popular novel to open a second one, it can be delayed and written when there is time, unlike online novels, which have to be written as soon as they are written.
During this time, the Legend of Sword and Fairy finally began to exert its strength, and the charm of the words was undoubtedly revealed in Ye Kai's hands, so that every character in the novel appeared vividly in the reader's mind.
A work that has not been signed, cannot be rewarded and subscribed, actually won the first place on the recommendation vote list, and the only regret may be that the number of words in this novel is too small.
There are only 600,000 words on the Internet, and for readers, many books will not be read at all without raising a million words.
There are also more than 10,000 comments, and Ye Kai is now opening the author's background at one point, all of which are messages threatening him to continue updating, and if he doesn't update, he will lock him in the room to update a chapter and eat a bite of food.
Hehe, I'm afraid of your threats?
Be naΓ―ve! Scare you first.
Ye Kaixian posted the news of Xianjian's suspension on Weibo, listening to the wails and threats of countless readers, which made the number of Weibo fans rise by tens of thousands.
The next day, after discussing with Rip Culture, Ye Kai announced the news that the physical book was about to be released, and even sent out the finished physical book cover.
This is the first author of the first Origin Novel Network in the past ten years, and the first Origin Novel Network has not signed a contract with the Origin Novel Network, and is directly preparing to sell the physical book.
The news of Ye Development caused a debate within the world.com.
Ginkgo stood in front of the editor-in-chief Feilong, a little helpless.
"There was no such precedent before, and we took the initiative to sign the electronic copyright of the physical book. Who knew that Ye Kai would jump out of us and sell the physical book directly?"
Feilong's face was expressionless, and his finger tapped fiercely on the table: "I don't care what it was like when you signed him, but now the result is that we have become someone else's laughing stock." β
He stood up, pointed at Ginkgo biloba and said fiercely: "Since he has chosen to be born, he has intentions, and hopes to be rewarded in the world, if you can see the potential of this book earlier, even if you only sign the electronic copyright?"
Let's operate it a little bit, and by now, it's a hit, how much money does your choice make the company lose? Seriously, now that he takes the book to other websites, how much traffic are we going to lose?"
If you don't make a profit, you will lose, and you can even say that it is a diamond that slips out of your fingers.
The public works are recommended to the first place on the list, and this news can even be on the Chronicle of the Novel, such a book is actually not signed in the world, what if other websites get the electronic copyright?
If Ye Kai chooses to skip the station to release the online version, will the readers of the world follow suit?
Now it is a traffic society, whether it is a celebrity or a website, as long as there is traffic, you can make money, and you don't even have to think about quality.
Nowadays, those remakes are like this, traffic IP + traffic stars are equivalent to making money lying down.
When they were discussing how to contact Ye Kai again to buy electronic copyrights, Ye Kai was on his way home.
In the past two days, Ye Kai's Weibo fans have skyrocketed, and some former friends have known about it, and then Ye Kai's parents also knew about Ye Kai's resignation and traveling.
However, the second elder did not accuse Ye Kai, but just gave him time to go back and have a look.
What else can I say, after working outside for so long, Ye Kai himself was also a little homesick, so after living in Hu Nan for a few days, he returned to his hometown Tiancheng.
Sweet City is rich in sugar cane, so its name has not changed since ancient times, and it has always been called Sweet City.
The geographical location of Sweet City is not particularly good, since the ancient city was built, there have been three earthquakes recorded in history textbooks, and after entering the modern era, there is also one.
At that time, Ye Kai was preparing for the college entrance examination, and the earthquake came without warning, and the earthquake close to magnitude 8 made even Xiangjiang and Thailand feel a strong earthquake.
Ye Kai's father ran a factory at that time, and when the earthquake occurred, not only all the equipment was destroyed, but also twelve workers died.
It was a small business, where could it afford this kind of loss, and even the house allocated after the earthquake was given to the family of a deceased person by Ye Kai's father, and the originally wealthy family went bankrupt.
Such a family change caused Ye Kai's score in the college entrance examination to drop by two hundred, resulting in the end he could only choose to enter an art school, that is, Southwest University of Communication and Communication.
In fact, Ye Kai didn't want to repeat his studies, but in that case, his family would have to bear his own life and tuition fees for a year, so he chose to go out to college early.
After leaving for college, he had very little time in Sweet City.
I stayed in Rongcheng to work during the winter and summer vacations, and I only came back two or three times to work after graduation, and it has been a full year since Ye Kai last went home.
During the Spring Festival last year, Ye Kai was outside to take private orders, stay up all day, and didn't have time to go home for the New Year, so when the second elder heard that Ye Kai resigned to be a traveler, not only did they not complain about Ye Kai, but they were even very happy.
At least I can see my son often.
The sky in Sweet City is gray, and the industrial pollution in such a third-tier town is very serious, and the air quality is mostly lightly polluted. When the weather is bad, it can reach heavy pollution.
Ye Kai has always wanted to buy a house in a foreign city, in fact, he just wants to make his parents' life better.
When passing by Wanda Plaza, Ye Kai walked into a barbecue restaurant.
The restaurant is less than three meters wide, and part of it is a bar, so the aisle is just over one meter long, and the restaurant can accommodate a total of six tables.
"Mom. β
Li Meimei, who was chasing the drama at the bar, looked up in surprise, sure enough, her son was back, and she thought about this voice every day.
"Xiao Kai is back? Alas, you are back, otherwise your mother would have forgotten what you look like. β
Li Meili hurriedly walked out, pinched Ye Kai's face, and compared her height. "It's still grown? It should be 1.8 meters now, right? The face is getting more and more handsome, have you found a girlfriend?"
"Mom......" Ye Kai shouted helplessly.
"Okay, okay, mom won't talk about it, my son is so handsome that no girl likes it. β
"Where's Dad?"
"He went grocery shopping, and he was so happy to know that you were coming back......"
"Ahem......"
Ye Xiuqiang walked in from outside the store with a large number of dishes, his face was serious, and he stared at Li Meili and said, "Nonsense." β
"Yes, yes, yes. β
Li Meili was not afraid of him, so she said a few perfunctory words, and then pushed Ye Kai to the store, and by the way, turned over the closed sign, and no longer received diners.
"Let your dad show you a hand, barbecue for a few years, and the craft is getting better and better. β
"Ahem......"
Li Meili said and turned around and shouted, "What are you coughing up, go and cook." β
Ye Xiuqiang couldn't cry or laugh, and said: "You have to let me say a few words to Xiao Kai, this is not yet the meal, who cooks so early? You didn't eat at noon or Xiao Kai didn't eat?"
Raising his hand weakly, Ye Kai said, "I really haven't eaten it." β
