Chapter 0010 Talking about money hurts feelings

Xing Ke turned on the computer and logged in, he had read a lot of online articles, and naturally he also had an account at the starting point, and the nickname of the starting point was 'Kai'a'.

Of course, since she wants to have a good relationship with Lin Xiang, she must also be aware that this account is Xing Ke's.

So Xing Ke picked another selfie and made it the avatar of the starting point account, but this avatar is too small, a little blurry, and it can't be seen clearly, if it's not an acquaintance, it may not be recognized.

"Recharge 10,000 yuan first. ”

Xing Ke had 100,000 yuan of activity funds in hand, and he didn't think about it so much, so he directly recharged 10,000 yuan, which is 1 million starting coins.

After the recharge was completed, Xing Ke searched for "My Heart is in Your Hands".

It turns out that this is an urban book, and it is not exactly a romance novel by Wenqing, but a light fantasy theme set in a modern city.

Looking at the introduction of this book, it should tell a series of stories about a special heart that can preserve memories and feelings, and it is constantly transplanted to heart patients.

It's quite creative, Xing Ke glanced at the book review area again, and the readers' comments were almost only positive, and there were many book reviews that discussed the plot.

"It's actually multiple protagonists?" Xing Ke was a little surprised.

To be precise, this book is not an online text, nor is it a constant protagonist, but a collection of short stories, interspersed with these short stories is a special heart, if you have to say a protagonist, it is this heart.

Xing Ke clicked on the first chapter of the book and looked at it a few times, and couldn't help but nodded: "The writing is also quite good." ”

However, the data in this book is terrible.

There are more than 700,000 words of books, and the collection is less than 3,000, and there are not many recommendation votes.

According to what Xing Jiu'er said, Lin Xiang's monthly manuscript fee is less than 2,000, and it also includes 600 yuan for full attendance, and minus a little reward money, so if you calculate it, it is estimated that there is not even 500 per book.

However, Xing Ke soon discovered the reason why the book was so poor.

The first is that the writing is good, which leads to the text being too pretentious, which is a bit brain-consuming to read, and does not match the smooth and straightforward mainstream online text, the second is that the title of the book is too scummy and unattractive, and the third is that the plot is a bit too sadistic, and the protagonist of each short story is almost either dead or disabled.

Not to mention other reasons, these three points alone are fatal enough, and no matter how hard you write, you can only fall into the embarrassing situation of 'applauding or not'.

"Let's add a readership first and see how it goes. ”

Xing Ke touched his chin, logged in to QQ, and searched for the readership of "My Heart in Your Hands" according to the Q group number on the introduction of Lin Xiang's book.

After applying to join the group, it didn't take a few seconds to get through.

"Welcome newcomers, fan value screenshot verification. ”

The old rule is that fans are worth more than 1,000. ”

As soon as he joined the group, there were two administrators who reminded Xing Ke of what fan value screenshots he sent.

Xing Ke was slightly stunned, a little confused, and knocked out a sentence: "What fan value screenshot? Where can I see it? Isn't this a readership?"

"Yes, it's another pirated reader, I guess I don't even know where the genuine subscription is. ”

"Newcomer, why don't you go to the starting point and book it all, or I'll have to kick you. ”

"This is the rule of the readership, if the fans are not worth enough, they will kick it. ”

Although Xing Ke also read genuine books at the starting point, he only read books and voted, rarely studied the value of fans, and did not know where to read fans.

Moreover, he just came to the readership to see the situation, and he has not subscribed yet.

Xing Ke was about to post a message when he was going to subscribe now, but [Group Owner] 'Yu Xiang is not dispersed and the people are empty' suddenly sent a message: "Forget it, don't kick him, anyway, I plan to finish the book recently." ”

Xing Ke couldn't help but be stunned, he just came in, Lin Xiang didn't write it?

"Finish the book, finish it so quickly?"

"It's only more than 700,000 words. ”

"Sister Xiangxiang, didn't you say you could write two million words before?"

"The artist chapter hasn't ended yet, and the queen's ending hasn't been given, why is it over?"

"Sister Xiangxiang, do you want to be unfinished?"

However, the reaction of other real readers was much more fierce than his, and more than seventy people in the entire readership exploded in an instant because of Lin Xiang's words.

"Listen to me first. ”

"Be quiet. ”

In the swiping speech, Lin Xiang's speech was quickly drowned, and in desperation, he had to suddenly launch a general ban, and even the administrator couldn't speak.

After everyone was silenced, Lin Xiang continued to speak: "Let's be quiet for a while." ”

"I don't want to finish the book if I can, according to my outline, this book is only half written, and there are many, many more plots and characters that I want to write about. ”

"But it can't be helped. ”

"The results of this book are really poor, it has been four months since I wrote it, but now it has only been ordered for 400 yuan, and last month's manuscript fee plus full attendance and reward, it was only 1,500 yuan. ”

No one in the group could speak, and Lin Xiang slowly said: "It can be said that I bowed to life." ”

"I've been learning about online literature in the past few months, and I'll try to get closer to the mainstream in the next book, at least to earn money to support myself. ”

Lin Xiang said: "So, I'm sorry, I'll finish this book in the next few days." ”

Xing Ke looked at Lin Xiang's speech, thought for a while, and couldn't help but look back at Xing Jiu'er, and said curiously: "Jiu'er, do you know Lin Xiang's grades or manuscript fees for the next book?"

"I don't know, there's no record keeping of this information. Xing Jiu'er shook her head, "But there must not be much, otherwise when the debt company comes to force the debt, she will not be able to come up with the money." ”

"Okay. Xing Ke nodded thoughtfully.

In the readership, Lin Xiang said before closing the ban: "There will always be regrets in life, everyone knows my character very well, I don't eat the food that comes to me, and I don't have to send me red envelopes privately." ”

After the ban was lifted, not many people in the group spoke.

There's no way, they can't help much, most of them are just ordinary students, and the monthly living expenses are not enough to read books, let alone reward and support the author.

Some financially well-off readers are willing to help, but Lin Xiang is reluctant to accept money.

If it's a reward, it's a bit too much of a loss, the author can only get half of the reward money, and it's only five hundred yuan to reward an alliance leader, it's okay to reward one or two times, but often rewarding the alliance leader is, unless it's really rich, no one will want to spend money in vain.

What's more, this book is abusive, and many readers are eager to send blades to the author, let alone give a reward.

"Sister Xiangxiang, then you can accept our reward, right?"

In the readership, a reader suddenly asked.

"That's it, it's a big deal that I play a little less Warcraft, and I can take out fifty yuan as a reward every month. ”

"If everyone in the group gives a reward of 50 yuan, 70 people will have 3,500 yuan. ”

"The author can only get half of it, but there are more than a thousand. ”

"I probably can't...... My dad only gave me ten dollars a week for pocket money. ”

There are also some readers who found that the group was crowdfunding, and when they thought of spending dozens of dollars more every month, some readers began to withdraw from the group.

Lin Xiang glanced at it and said helplessly: "I understand everyone's kindness, I'll give you a bottom, now I also need money, and the monthly manuscript fee is at least about 6,000 yuan." ”

"Six thousand?"

"Sister Xiangxiang, you only have a manuscript fee of 1,005 now, that is, we have to reward 4,500 ......"

"The author is divided into four and a half thousand...... That is, to reward 9,000, more than 70 people in the group, each person needs more than 100. ”

"Why did someone leave the group? There were only 58 people left. ”

"Alas, it would be nice if there was a big guy who rewarded every day. ”

It is not certain whether talking about feelings hurts money or not, but generally speaking, talking about money will hurt feelings, especially the amount that exceeds the range of psychological expectations, and it is normal to hurt feelings.

"You're about to finish the book?"

Xing Ke looked at the speeches in the readership group and couldn't help frowning slightly.

At least there must be a channel to do what he likes, if Lin Xiang finishes the book, how can he get closer to him by rewarding?

"She also has a place to live for free now, with more than 1,000 manuscript fees per month, and she can survive with a little saving, why does she suddenly need 6,000 yuan in manuscript fees?" Xing Ke was a little puzzled.

"Forget it, let her get through it first. ”

Xing Ke shook his head slightly, opened the page of "My Heart is in Your Hands", clicked on the reward option, selected one of the rewards, and then confirmed with a light click-

The next moment, a bright red post appeared in the book review section:

[[Reward] The heart is surging, I hate to see each other late, although the million is huge, it is difficult to express my love!

1 is followed by six zeros, which is one million starting coins.

At the starting point, this is the Silver Alliance Leader!

The silver alliance leader with a one-time million reward is going to make a site-wide announcement, and as soon as Xing Ke's reward comes out, a site-wide message was immediately sent out on the mobile app at the starting point to notify all readers.

Xing Ke looked at his masterpiece and couldn't help but sigh, "Tsk, Silver League, I haven't seen many books with Silver League for so long, and 10,000 yuan is out." ”

In the past, he just supported genuine subscriptions, voted for authors, and didn't reward at all.

That is, after work, when the economy is well-off, he began to reward and support his favorite books, but the amount is not large, and he has not even rewarded the alliance leader, let alone the silver alliance worth millions.

10,000 yuan, many young people who have just worked only have a salary of a few thousand yuan a month, how can they get 10,000 yuan to reward a web novel?

"Of the 10,000 yuan, Lin Xiang also got 5,000, plus her own manuscript fee, at least more than 6,000, it should be enough, right?" Xing Ke showed a smile at the corner of his mouth.
