Reborn since 2005

Chapter 41 Declaration of War

In the following time, Chen Li did not publish a single chapter, but left a message at the end of the published chapter, hoping that everyone would support him by voting for recommendation.

He made it clear that he wanted this recommendation to be number one.

Not for anything else, just for the common honor of everyone.

"I don't want to fight anyone. This time, I just want to maintain our dignity."

At the end of the chapter, Chen Li wrote these words.

Although it is not stated explicitly, readers can understand why he suddenly added this paragraph.

This is tantamount to declaring war on that book.

Such a declaration of war will stimulate his readers as well as the readers of the other party.

In the next few days, there was no need for Yan Xin to provoke any more, as readers on both sides were stimulated.

Once this kind of thing starts, it is beyond the author's control.

To integrate the author and the reader into a whole, to enjoy the benefits of this whole, we must also bear the disadvantages of this whole.

Authors often have to be coerced by their readers.

——This is an online novel serialization model, not the previous physical book model. If it is abandoned by readers, the data of a serialized novel will collapse, and it will not even be able to eat a bowl of rice.

Chen Li had his reasons for not retreating, and the author opposite also had his reasons for not retreating.

The readers of that book are also very powerful. They voted the book they supported to the second place in the recommendation vote, and once surpassed "Fights of the Sky" to take the first place.

But it was quickly overtaken again.

The incident got so big that Chen Li's editor called him and asked him to delete the declaration of war and calm down the situation.

In this regard, Chen Li could only say that once the rhythm started, he could no longer stop it.

What is at stake now is the honor of his readers. If he surrenders and retreats at this time, his readers will feel betrayed by him.

Regressing means losing all readers.

Unless he quits the Internet literary circle.

Otherwise he can't retreat.

In the chat with the editor, he also expressed his grievances - he didn't provoke anyone, he suffered such humiliation for no reason, and now he was asked to give in, which he couldn't understand.

Who is causing trouble can be seen from the timeline.

He was simply forced to fight.

On the surface, it seems that the reader opposite caused trouble first.

Chen Li felt aggrieved and was unwilling to back down, which made it difficult for his editor to say anything.

I can only tell him to control the pace and compete, but at least don't abuse him.

——For platforms, they are actually happy to see such competition.

The purpose of publishing so many lists is to encourage them to compete.

But if you scold someone too fiercely, problems may arise.

Chen Li agreed - he also didn't like to see those heart-wrenching words from the readers opposite.

He said that he could publish a single chapter to persuade his readers not to criticize in the book review section opposite, but he also hoped that the author opposite could do the same thing.

The editor said: "This is no problem. A certain master also has this idea, that is, competition is okay, but don't intensify conflicts."

Under the persuasion of the website, both authors posted individual chapters, urging their readers not to go to other people's book review sections to curse.

However, the single chapter also expresses the same meaning - they want to compete for the recommendation list.

Of course, there is a sense of protecting the collective honor, but I also feel that this kind of competition is good for myself.

In order to mobilize readers' enthusiasm, the author opposite usually only updates two chapters a day, but now he updates three chapters a day.

Amid such competition, Chen Li moved from the middle shift to the morning shift.

In the end, the first place on this week’s recommendation list was won by “Fights Beyond the Sphere”.

But it's not over yet.

It’s a new week, there’s a new list, and Chen Li still wants to compete.

Thanks to the appeals of authors on both sides, fewer and fewer people go to the book review section opposite to curse.

However, the data is even stronger.

The two books compete fiercely on the recommendation list. They basically take turns to be ranked first, far ahead of the books behind them.

Last week, "Fights Break the Sphere" won the first place in the recommendation list. That's because in the first two or three days, the major players did not compete for this list. It relied on readers' conscious votes to enter the top ten. It was already too late to make efforts later.

After two days, the total number of votes for a week cannot be exceeded.

In this new week, the previous data will be cleared and everything will start again.

Although the statistics of "Fight Breaking the Sphere" are very strong, readers who have accumulated experience from several works of the other party are not weak in combat effectiveness.

The readers on both sides mainly fight on the recommendation vote list. You come and I go back and forth, killing each other like crazy.

This sudden burst of passion also brought the recommendation votes of both of them to unprecedented heights.

The rest of the books on the list can only be moved away.

It is also very common for the boss and the second child to fight and kill the third, fourth and fifth children.

Most of the time, "Fights Break the Sphere" is in the first place, but sometimes it is surpassed by the opponent's book.

This also made Chen Li quite nervous, fearing that someone would accidentally take away the number one spot on this week's recommendation list.

I am not in the mood to go to work, and my mind is focused on winning or losing on the list.

At this time, each list is still a list that has not been polluted, and can only rely on real votes, and you can't get it by having money.

This also makes Chen Li, a small security guard, qualified to compete with the famous master.

The traffic it brings is indeed huge, and the new collections added every day are an important motivation to support Chen's efforts.

After get off work, I go to the Internet cafe to read the data first and then code.

Often a chapter is not finished, so I exit first, look at the data and comments, and then continue coding.

During the morning shift, he spent more time coding.

After getting off work at three o'clock, I went to the Internet cafe and worked until almost midnight.

Code out at least four chapters every day.

On the most day, I coded five chapters, totaling more than 17,000 words.

He really tried his best.

This time arm wrestling with the top masters aroused the passion in his heart, and he turned this passion into code words.

This is not only reflected in the fact that more content is coded every day, but also in the novel's writing style becoming more passionate, more in line with the style of the original work, and more able to arouse people's emotions.

——In the past, he only wrote such a novel according to Yan Xin's ideas, using passionate plots and passionate characters, but he did not have that kind of passionate feeling.

But now he feels that way.

His condition is better.

At this time, Yan Xin could provide very little help in writing, but more of providing him with psychological guidance, helping him channel negative energy, and then taking care of his life - for example, every day

At six o'clock in the evening, I went to the cafeteria to pick up food and deliver it to him.

September 30th, the day before "Fights Break the Sphere" was released.

The collection of this book already has more than 90,000 people.

On the recommendation list, "Fights Break the Sphere" ranks first.

This book will be available for VIP at midnight on the 1st.

When delivering food to Yan Xin at noon the day before, Chen Li asked him:

"Yan Xin, tell me, should I compete for next month's monthly vote list?"
