章 153: Chapter 153: Nuonuo, you actually dare to come to my house alone in the middle of the night, aren't you afraid...
Today, the website's data grew several times stronger than Jiang Xu had anticipated!
Over twenty thousand new users registered, and more than eight thousand became paying users.
The total recharge amount for the day exceeded three hundred thousand.
This left Jiang Xu a little dumbfounded.
What's going on? Why is the growth so massive?
Jiang Xu quickly started investigating.
But after searching for quite a while, he couldn't figure out where this sudden surge in traffic had come from.
The data for the forum and Weibo were both normal; there was no sudden influx of traffic from either source.
So, Jiang Xu checked the comment areas of a few best-selling works.
He didn't make any significant discoveries there either.
Jiang Xu began to ponder, stroking his chin: "The traffic couldn't have just increased for no reason, could it have been..."
He dialed Jiang Xiaoyan's number, but she hung up.
At this time, she should have been in class.
After about five minutes, she sent a text: Are you calling to ask about the sudden increase in website traffic?
No mistake, it's your sister's doing.
I asked a friend whose family runs an online advertising business to put in some ads for our website.
They should run for a week, just wait and watch the fun unfold.
I have to go to class now, so that's all for now. Remember to find me tonight.
Jiang Xu was taken aback.
It seemed he had underestimated Jiang Xiaoyan's capabilities.
This was indeed a pleasant surprise.
Continuous advertising for a week should result in a speedy growth of users.
If so, by the end of the month, the total recharge amount might exceed five million.
Jiang Xu then checked to see if any of the top-ranked books on his site were being pirated.
The situation was quite good.
The internet wasn't being regulated too strictly at the moment.
Jiang Xiaoyan could launch attacks against domestic piracy websites from abroad.
Moreover, this wasn't against the law.
After all, pirated copies were essentially a tumor that the law didn't protect.
Jiang Xu was in a good mood.
He downloaded Subject One online, printed it out, and put it in his backpack.
Then he shut down his computer and went to school.
On the way, he could already feel a hint of coolness in the air.
A good number of leaves had turned yellow and fallen.
Jiang Xu looked around at his surroundings.
He still had more than half a year left.
After that, he would be going to another city for university.
Perhaps he could buy a house near the university in advance.
After all, Jiang Xu would have a girlfriend by then.
If they wanted to meet up regularly, going to a hotel might pose the risk of hidden cameras.
Having his own place would be more secure.
It all depended on how much money the website could make by the end of this month.
Arriving at the classroom, everyone was studying.
Fu Yanjie, who used to be the last to arrive, now made it a point to get there early every day.
The whole class was enveloped in a nervous atmosphere.
This made Jiang Xu rather curious.
Fu Yanjie had never been this diligent before, and the atmosphere in the class shouldn't have affected him that much.
After class, Jiang Xu sat next to him, slinging his arm around him: "You've changed these days, working so hard."
Fu Yanjie gave a smile more bitter than crying: "Damn it, do you think I want to?
Last week, when I came home.
I saw my dad placing a large bundle of long, thin sticks with spikes on the table.
He told me, from now until the college entrance exam, every test.
If my mark falls outside the top twenty-five in the class.
For every rank I drop, he will hit me once with that stick.
For example, if I rank fortieth, fortieth minus twenty-five would result in fifteen hits.
Also, I won't receive any allowance, and they'll freeze my bank cards."
"I see," Jiang Xu nodded, "Then you better put some effort into it."
"Otherwise, they'd just become a good-for-nothing who inherited their parents' billions."
The surrounding classmates: "...."
Returning to his seat,
Jiang Xu gave An Nuonuo the printed-out Subject One question papers: "Try to finish it all in these two days, and sign up for the driver's license test on Saturday."
An Nuonuo: "Oh."
Time quickly flew to Saturday.
Jiang Xu took An Nuonuo to sign up for the driver's license examination.
During this period, getting a driver's license was quite easy.
What's more, unlike ten years later, there was no need to wait for a long time.
Nuonuo had already memorized all the Subject One material, and after she paid the fee, an exam was scheduled for the same day. She passed it immediately.
She registered for an automatic license, which was much simpler than the manual one.
On Sunday, An Nuonuo started learning Subject Two.
Meanwhile, Jiang Xu stayed home to write.
"Martial Universe" was quickly reaching three million words.
He planned to write up to five million words.
The library on the website had also exceeded a thousand books.
"Bang bang!"
As the door knock sounded, Jiang Xu answered, and the office door was pushed open.
Lin Nan, wearing an OL outfit and black stockings, walked in.
Her face was full of worry: "Boss, the website next door has started to massively imitate our popular books.
I took a look, and observed an influx of genres such as the divorce trend, failure trend, and urban soldier king-type books in the recent days."
Although the scale of the Nuomimi Novel website was not very large at this moment,
there were several novels on the site that had already become popular.
Apart from "Martial Universe", there were several other urban soldier king and Xianxia novels that were also popular.
From a genre point of view, it was much stronger than the competitors.
During this period, it was estimated that some readers were attracted from the competition.
Jiang Xu had anticipated this.
There was no helping it.
Once an idea became popular, a large group of people would surely imitate it.
Jiang Xu said, "Keep an eye on it, as long as they are not plagiarizing or copy-pasting our books, don't worry about it."
The biggest difference between us and the competition was that we had no piracy, whereas our competitor was riddled with piracy.
Once the reader base was established, we could start recruiting authors.
At that time, we might be able to snatch quite a few authors from the competition.
Such small tricks would not have a big impact.
Lin Nan had come in with a worried face.
But Jiang Xu's words made her beam with joy, "Boss, you're so capable."
Jiang Xu: "You haven't even seen where I'm truly capable."
Lin Nan: "Huh?"
"Ahem." Jiang Xu changed the subject: "Never mind, you can go back to work."
"Oh..."
By around nine in the evening, at home, Jiang Xu once again opened the website's backend.
Today's data growth was very impressive as well.
New registered users were twenty-six thousand.
New paying users were nine thousand eight hundred.
Total recharge amount for the day was six hundred and eighty thousand.
The data was much better than yesterday's.
It was probably because it was the weekend.
Now it was already mid-October, and the total recharge amount had reached over three million two hundred thousand.
If this trend continued, it would definitely exceed five million by the end of the month.
Jiang Xu, satisfied, turned off the computer and prepared to sleep.
Suddenly, Jiang Xu's ears perked up to the sound of the door opening from outside.
Then he saw An Nuonuo walk in.
She was holding a plastic bag.
"Um, I bought some Barbecue, do you want some?"
"Heh heh." Jiang Xu approached her, rubbed his hands and cornered her: "It's the middle of the night, aren't you afraid of me..."
