At the end of July, Li Xiaoci officially joined the Flower Planters' Association.

There is no particularly grand ceremony to join the Writers' Association, anyway, it will be announced on the Weibo of the Writers' Association, and Li Xiaoci only needs to sign it.

Although the various benefits and benefits after joining the Writers' Association, such as publicity, connections, resources, etc., are not important to Li Xiaoci, there is one key point, that is, if she is recognized by the literary world and joins the Writers' Association, it means in disguise that the literary world recognizes the status of light, and many light families are no longer inferior "writers" but writers in the real sense, and even reached the pinnacle of this field, it is not an exaggeration to be called a writer, just like Jin Yong Gulong in martial arts writers.

Therefore, Li Xiaoci can not join the Writers' Association, but it is still necessary for the sake of the entire light industry.

Do you suddenly feel so great?

Then......

A few days later, the matter of Mo Shao's joining the Writers' Association was also officially announced.

The three-dimensional public who didn't know about Li Xiaoci also talked about it after they were full.

Some were shocked at how Li Xiaoci looked so young, some lamented that my flower family was full of talents, some doubted ghostwriting, and some questioned whether Mo Shao was Yin Zuwen's illegitimate daughter (Li Hailong: Huh? ）。

As for the fellow authors in the light industry, they all sincerely sent their blessings on Weibo.

"The devil is awesome!"

"Congratulations to Mo Shao, he deserves to be my idol!"

"Mom, this photo is too cute, right, I really want to violate the magic boy."

"Hmph, the queue that violated the demon is already lined up for three streets, little brother, you can go to the back and line up by yourself."

"Did you join the Writers' Association? Teacher Mo Shao is really the first in the world! ”

"My wife is awesome!"

If it is an ordinary fan shouting like this, it will be forgotten, after all, Li Xiaoci has become the public wife of the house circle, but she also couldn't imagine that this group of colleagues who write light words are also shouting with wives and wives, sure enough, the light family is a group of gentlemen without discipline!

But that's right, those pornographic and obscene light, how can people with discipline write it, like Li Xiaoci himself, who threw discipline or something into the new sunset when he wrote the "Magic Sword Academy" series.

Thereupon......

With the end of "Since the New World" and the end of trivial matters such as the joining of the Flower Planters Association, Li Xiaoci also returned to the most leisurely daily life in the previous two years.

In the morning, I sat leisurely by the window in the café, playing with the ship mother or something, and I got SSR and went to Weibo to post a wave, and then watched the non-chiefs under Weibo brush all kinds of "Ou eat spears". Although it is said, the blue route is his own game, but Li Xiaoci still can't help but indulge in it, after all, in his previous life, he was so angry that he retreated from the pit because of his black face and poverty, and now, this has become his own game, what are you afraid of?

Even if you rush money into the kryptonite gold, you will also rush it to yourself, and you will come and go, and you won't spend money at all!

Alas, it's not too cozy.

However!

Just when Li Xiaoci was leisurely here......

On the side of the online literature circle, a relatively big thing has also happened, that is, the starting point Chinese network has undergone a gift currency reform, after the reform, there is no so-called "gift coin", and all the starting coins given by the system are no different from the starting coins of normal recharge.

This matter makes no difference to the reader, and it is still used as usual anyway, but for the author, it is definitely something to rejoice in. Because in this way, even if you subscribe with a bonus, the author can still get the subscription money, which is equivalent to the reader reading the book and the platform paying.

And Li Xiaoci's idea of making this decision is also very simple, just to make his own authors a little more comfortable.

If the gift is not money, it is equivalent to pit the author, and now the gift is money, the reader's reading experience is still unchanged, and the author can get a subscription, why not, as for the platform, it doesn't matter if she suffers a loss, even if she wants to suck blood, she will suck the blood of those mobile game players and steam players, and it is impossible to start with her own people, she is very conscientious!

But!

What Li Xiaoci didn't expect was ......

This giveaway reform quickly caused a series of ripple effects.

Online Essay Forum.

"Damn, the starting point of the coin reform has been reformed? Now the bonus is also a subscription? ”

"Wow, really? If the bonus coins at the starting point are also subscriptions, I'll go to the starting point now to open a new book! ”

"It's true, I went to ask a few of my friends at the starting point, and the bonus coins over there after the reform are real coins, and the subscriptions to all books are skyrocketing, and the thieves are terrifying!"

"Mom chicken, there is a batch of pits on the snowflake Chinese network, and the bonus coins received by one sign-in are enough to read my two chapters, my readers only need to sign in every day, what is the difference between this and reading books for free?" I can't even afford instant noodles now! ”

"Let's go, I'm going to the starting point."

"I can't imagine that the starting point is so conscientious!"

The gift of coins, in fact, was first thought up by the operation planning of the starting point, but because of the excellent effect, it was immediately copied by the planners of other online literature platforms, so that now other websites in the online literature circle in addition to the starting point basically have the gift of coins.

Of course, like the original starting point, the bonus currency must not be counted as a subscription, otherwise wouldn't it be a website to pay for the reader? In the final analysis, those investors who come to invest in online literature websites are here to make money, not to do charity, and if they don't pit the author, then do they still pit themselves?

As a result, after the starting point completed the gift reform, the authors who hit the street poured into the starting point to open new books, so that other websites suddenly found that they had no fresh blood injected!

There are fewer new books, and fewer and fewer authors willing to write them, so what's the difference between this and chronic suicide?

As a result, there are only two options left for these websites, one is to cancel the coin giveaway mechanism and give up the benefits of the coin, and the other is to carry out the coin reform like the starting point and post their money upside down to the readers.

Of course, whether it is the former or the latter, it will definitely suffer in the end.

"Why, the starting point is too insidious, isn't it?"

"Vicious competition, this is definitely vicious competition!"

"Yes, the starting point is too unkind."

Soon, in the Star Reading Network, Snowflake Chinese Network, and the World Bookstore...... and other online text platforms, such scolding was also heard.

In their view, the starting point is undoubtedly vicious competition, just like everyone in the vegetable market unifies the price of something, but the starting point takes the initiative to reduce the price to attract customers, forcing others to follow the price reduction, thus falling into a vicious circle of continuous price reduction, this is not vicious competition?

As a matter of fact......

Of course, this is not vicious competition, let alone a vicious circle.

Because the starting point of the gift reform is only from the gift to the real money, there will be no next cycle.

The reason why the CEOs of these sites are so angry is simply because they don't want to give money.

The reason is simple: if you can go to the author's money, then why sacrifice your own interests?

As for the conscience of the capitalists? Inexistent.

And for the crisis of these online platforms, Li Xiaoci still knows nothing.

Of course, even if he knew, Li Xiaoci probably wouldn't have any guilt.

Maybe you'll laugh out loud.

Thereupon......

That night, in a secret QQ discussion group, Xingchen Reading Network, Snowflake Chinese Network, Tianxia Bookstore, and Milkshake Reading ...... A total of 18 first-tier and second-tier online literature platform bosses and editors-in-chief all gathered together.

Since the reform of the starting point coin, the daily new increment in the library of these platforms has begun to decrease significantly, and even the new increment of one of the platforms has decreased by as much as 20%, that is to say, one-fifth of the authors who would have come to their website to open books have all gone to the starting point, which is already a very scary number, and over time, if they do not make changes, this number will get bigger and bigger.

So how do you make a change?

Do you cancel the bonus, or do you follow the starting point and pay out of pocket?

Of course not, if it were, this group of people would not be present at the QQ discussion group tonight.

"I won't beat around the bush, everyone knows the current situation, and the starting point is to use the gift coin reform to seize the market, which is obviously breaking the rules of tacit agreement between us." The person who spoke was Chen Jinlin, the owner of Snowflake Chinese, "Either we will compromise with the starting point, or we will join forces to fight against the starting point, what do you think?" ”

"Nonsense!"

"Joining forces, of course."

"the compromise!"

"But the key is how?" Someone asked.

Subsequently, Chen Jinlin said: "The most important thing for readers on the online article platform is, of course, the content, and what is good-looking is the foundation of the existence of a platform. ”

"Boss Chen means ......"

"Dig the foot of the wall, dig the foot of the wall like crazy! Dig up all the top 10 gods in each channel at the starting point! No, even the top fifteen authors can dig and dig! Together, let's make the starting point a third-rate online literature platform without great writers! While typing in the discussion group, Boss Chen's face gradually showed a sinister smile unique to capitalists, "Don't forget, we have eighteen websites here, and we add up to several times the starting point. Without the support of those core writers, who would want to go to the starting point to read books? No one wants to read a book, and what fool would go there to write a book? Don't forget, the most important thing about a website is the content! ”

After seeing Boss Chen's proposal, the others were immediately moved.

First of all, the effect of digging a great god writer is definitely much simpler and more direct than slowly cultivating a great god by yourself, and the major platforms often dig back and forth in private, but it is still too unbelievable to want to hollow out the great god of a website, especially the other party is still the starting point of the first brother of the online article, and has a large number of great god writers who support website traffic, how can you have so much money to dig these great gods? Digging up one or two is already a bloody investment, okay?

However, there are eighteen online literature platforms present, and the most second-tier platforms are second-tier platforms, and even the first-line platforms such as Snowflake Chinese Network and Xingchen Reading Network are already very close to the starting point in terms of strength...... It's not impossible.

"Do it...... It's not good, isn't it too moral......" Luo Sheng, editor-in-chief of Xingchen Reading Network, hesitated.

"Editor-in-Chief Luo, there is nothing that is not moral, it is the starting point that breaks the rules first, and we can't be blamed for this." Chen Jinlin replied with a sneer.

“…… All right. ”

As a result, the eighteen high-level executives of the online literature platform in the discussion group reached a unanimous agreement and established an anti-starting point alliance.

A big war, on the verge of breaking out.
