It was quickly half past eleven.

Lu Yang saw that Cao Xue's mobile phone on the desk vibrate, it should be the alarm set by Cao Xue, and Cao Xue, who was reading a book, was disturbed by the vibration of the mobile phone out of the world in the book.

I saw a strand of hair hanging down to my cheeks with my fingers, and then smiled and began to clean up the things on the desk, and when I got up, I seemed to finally feel Lu Yang's gaze behind me, and looked back with some confusion.

Seeing that she finally looked back, Lu Yang did not dodge, nor did he lower his head, and showed a smile to her like the previous times.

These days, Lu Yang often appears in Cao Xue's sight, and every time Cao Xue looks back, she sees Lu Yang's smiling face looking at her, so there is no doubt that Cao Xue has long remembered Lu Yang.

People who always pay attention to themselves are always easy to remember, especially women with keen senses are even more sensitive in this regard.

Seeing that it was the boy who was watching her from behind this time, Cao Xue was a little speechless, and she probably guessed what that boy meant.

However, this boy is a little different from the boy who approached her before, after so many days, he is still watching her from behind, and he has not accosted her until now.

This allowed her to avoid the embarrassment of being suddenly accosted by a strange boy, and because of this, she didn't have any objection to Lu Yang.

Women are always a little tolerant of boys who like them.

Out of politeness, Cao Xue returned a faint smile this time as she had done the previous times.

……

Lu Yang has been sitting in the back row of the classroom, smiling at the back of Cao Xue's departure. I felt a little happy that Cao Xue responded to his smile again.

……

After returning to the rental house, Lu Yang turned on the computer again and took a look at the popularity of "Doomsday Wasteland".

Although I knew in my heart that it had only been a day since "Doomsday Wasteland" was officially uploaded, and it was impossible to increase its popularity much, I still couldn't help but pay attention to it.

Sure enough, when he opened the author's backstage, Lu Yang saw that the collection of "Doomsday Wasteland" had only increased by two.

When I opened the webpage of "Doomsday Wasteland", I saw that the number of clicks had only increased by seven or eight, the number of recommended votes had not increased, and there were two more advertising posts in the book review area.

The book review section of "Doomsday Wasteland" is almost full.

Lu Yang was a little angry when he saw it.

The consequence of his anger was that Lu Yang logged in to his personal account and used his identity as the administrator of the book review area to delete all those advertising posts.

Let you **~ Mao have no discipline at all! It's too much! It's almost full of your book review area.

The advertising posts were all deleted, and Lu Yang finally felt a little more comfortable.

I turned off my computer and went to bed.

The new book has just been uploaded, but in order to increase a little popularity, there is no moderation, and tens of thousands of words are uploaded a day.

Gotta take it easy!

Because the starting point Chinese network has a new book list for new books.

The new book list only includes novels of less than 200,000 words and no interruption for three consecutive days.

If the word count is published too quickly, "Doomsday Wasteland" will soon be kicked out of the list because the word count exceeds 200,000 words, even if it is on the new book list in the future.

Being able to stay on the list for a few more days can make a huge difference in attracting popularity to a new book.

Even in 2003, there were tens of thousands of authors who wrote novels at the beginning.

And there are hundreds of new books that are updated every day.

It's not easy to stand out from the hundreds of new books without paying attention to the small details of every aspect.

……

The next morning, after Lu Yang got up, he first put some water in the pot and boiled it, prepared the next bowl of noodles, and solved the breakfast problem with the leftovers from last night.

Then hurry up and wash up.

When the teeth are brushed, the water is boiling, quickly put the noodles into the pot, and then quickly wash your face,

When the face was washed and the noodles were just boiling, Lu Yang hurriedly added half a bowl of cold water into the pot.

Then increase the heat, and after seven or eight seconds, the noodles in the pot are boiling again.

It's done.

Lu Yang hurriedly scooped up the noodles with a colander and rinsed them with cold water.

Then I mixed the noodle soup in the pot with a bowl of soup base, and then put the noodles that had been washed through the cold water in the bowl.

After the noodles are cooked, they are washed with cold water, and they will taste smoother, and this trick was naturally learned by Lu Yang before he was reborn.

Then pull all the leftovers from last night into the noodle bowl, and breakfast is served.

Because there is vegetable soup mixed with noodles, the taste of the noodles is quite good.

Lu Yang took the bowl to the study and turned on the computer, and ate noodles while logging in to the author's backstage.

After the author's background was opened, Lu Yang saw that three more had been added to the collection, which was an unexpected joy.

Lu Yang smiled and passed a new chapter up, and then opened the page of "Doomsday Wasteland", and found that the number of clicks had also increased by more than a dozen, the number of recommended votes had increased by four this time, and there were two more supported book reviews in the book review area.

Although the number of hits has not suddenly reached 100, and the number of recommended votes is less than 20, it has been rising after all, and it is better than being motionless.

Lu Yang could only comfort himself in his heart.

In 2003, it was much more difficult to sign a contract at the starting point than a few years later.

If the number of clicks is less than 100,000, and the recommended votes are less than four or five thousand, it may be all fun.

Of course, the collection is the most important number, Lu Yang remembers, in 2003, if he wanted to sign a contract at the starting point, the collection seemed to need about 500.

For those who have not written a novel at the beginning of 2003, it is difficult to understand the difficulty.

At this time, there were far fewer people reading novels at the beginning than a few years later.

How difficult it is for a rookie author who doesn't have any fame, an obscure new book that doesn't have any recommendations from the website, to accumulate almost 100,000 hits, four or five thousand recommendation votes, and almost 500 favorites.

Readers who pay attention to newcomers and new books are inherently very few.

There are hundreds of new books competing together.

A newcomer's new book is unlikely to be on the list of new books at first.

Because the new book list only includes the top 15 works.

In 2003, all new books, both old and new, were able to compete on only one new list. Unlike a few years later, there is still a new book list of public authors and new book lists of signed authors, there is only a lone new book list.

A new book, trying to enter the reader's sight, often only takes a dozen seconds a day.

How did those ten seconds come about?

Update!

Update a new chapter, and the new book may appear in the "Latest Updated Novel" area at the bottom of the homepage of the website for more than ten seconds.

That area is not large, and can only display the latest updates of dozens of books at the same time.

Tragically, it is no longer just a few hundred new books vying for a place in this area, but thousands of works that have been continuously updated across the site.

So, when you're unlucky, you send a chapter, and it can only be displayed here for more than ten seconds, and you'll be squeezed out by other works.

Of course, once in a while when you're lucky, or when the site is having a convulsion, you can be there for a few more minutes after you update this chapter.

Newcomers and new books, it's so sad!

Therefore, for a long time, there has been a saying in the circle of online writers.

――The water at the beginning is very deep!

How deep is it?

An author who can easily become famous on other websites, after coming to the starting point, it is likely that not a single bubble will pop up, and he will disappear from everyone.

Even when the gods of many other websites come to the starting point, they can't bubble up a few bubbles.

Why is the water at the starting point so deep?

Without him!

There are just too many authors!

Tens of thousands of authors, the best authors in the entire online literature circle, almost 90% are concentrated at the starting point. If you want to be famous at the starting point, strength and luck are indispensable!

Without excellent writing, or the speed of the codeword, it is basically impossible to defeat tens of thousands of opponents.

Then again, though.

The starting point is also a fair place! No matter who wants to become famous, you have to speak with real skills, play other tricks, even if you can make you popular, you will be quickly killed.

(The new book had a hard start, a few years after leaving the online article, few people remember my old wood, if you think this book is okay, please support it, recommended tickets and collections are OK, please everyone, thank you.) ）
