MMB Chapter 49 When Success Comes, Let's Raise a Glass and Recall Our Original Aspirations
Chapter 49 When Success Comes, Let's Raise a Glass and Recall Our Original Aspirations
It was already 8:30 p.m. when I returned from Shen Qingyue's house.
As soon as Chen Mo entered his home, the system interface popped up in front of him.
[Host has completed the temporary task "Brave Chef". Task reward has been issued.]
[IQ +1, EQ +1, Courage +200]
[Current attribute update:]
IQ: 72 (Good)
Emotional Intelligence: 76 (Good)
System Level LV1: 4900/10000
Chen Mo looked at the updated attribute panel and was in a good mood.
Although each one was added a little, little by little, he has already deeply experienced the hidden benefits these attributes bring to his daily life and work.
After taking a shower, Chen Mo habitually sat down in front of the computer.
This time, however, he didn't start writing the novel immediately, but instead opened his phone's notes app.
This Friday night, I'm going to climb Mount Emei with Lin Wei. I can't go like last time, bare-handed.
Hiking at night, especially on a mountain over 3,000 meters above sea level, requires thorough preparation.
Chen Mo checked online for travel guides and watched several videos sharing experiences of climbing Mount Emei at night, and then he had a better idea of what to do.
He started making a list of the items he would need in his memo.
After listing everything, Chen Mo looked at it and realized there was quite a lot of stuff.
He plans to take some time tomorrow at noon to go to a nearby outdoor equipment store to buy everything he needs. Anyway, he won't be leaving until after get off work on Friday, so he'll have plenty of time.
After finishing this task and closing the memo app, Chen Mo opened the author's backend and prepared to start writing for the day.
He paused for a moment when he logged into his account.
The number of favorites for "The Immortal Clan in the Mortal World" is a staggering 4723.
When I checked yesterday, it was only a little over three thousand.
In just over a day, it has increased by more than a thousand?
Chen Mo rubbed his eyes to make sure he wasn't seeing things.
He quickly clicked on the detailed data.
New favorites: 1227
Total votes: 8562
Monthly pass: 423
Total donations: 786 yuan
Book club comments: 99+
The follow-up data is even more astonishing, almost doubling from over 1500 to 2680.
The ratio of collections to reads is simply divine.
Chen Mo opened the book club's online community and took a closer look at the latest comments.
"The author writes so well; the traditional flavor of Xianxia (fantasy martial arts) is back!"
"The writing is delicate, the characters are well-developed, and the pacing of the plot is well-handled."
"I'm following the updates every day, I can't wait any longer, please update more!"
"Even the donkeys in the production team wouldn't dare to be this lazy!"
"I've donated 100 book coins as a small token of my appreciation. Keep up the good work, author!"
"This book has the potential to become a god!"
"I came in through a recommendation, and once I started reading, I couldn't stop. I'll subscribe to support the author after it's published. Keep it up!"
The reviews were overwhelmingly positive, with only a few helpful suggestions, all delivered in a gentle and substantive manner.
Chen Mo scrolled down and saw several familiar IDs.
Those were long-time readers who had been following my work since I first started reading it.
Now she has become a "opinion leader" in the book club community, actively helping new readers answer questions and maintaining a positive atmosphere in the comments section.
A warm feeling welled up in his heart.
It feels really good to be recognized and liked.
After closing the book club, Chen Mo opened his author group.
He usually blocks messages, and they won't pop up unless he clicks on them himself.
At this moment, hundreds of messages have already been sent to the author group under the editor's command.
He casually scrolled up and saw that everyone was discussing their own book.
Tongya: "@Everyone, go check out the number ten book on the Xianxia (fantasy/martial arts) new book chart, 'The Mortal Immortal Clan.' The data is exploding! It gained two thousand favorites in one day, and almost three thousand people are following it."
Chen Mengqing said, "I've read it, and it's indeed well-written. The writing style is mature and doesn't seem like that of a newcomer."
Blood Flows Three Thousand Feet: "I'm so envious, jealous, and hateful! My book, which was competing with it at the same time, only gained five hundred more favorites..."
Good Dream: "This book is about to take off."
PigeonNotPigeon: "Is the author in the group? Come out and say hi @SpicyTofuBrain"
Durian Garden: "This newbie seems to rarely speak in the group, so I guess he's a part-time writer, not a full-time one."
Chen Mo glanced at the discussion in the group, smiled, and remained silent.
It's even more important to stay calm in times like these.
But at that moment, the editor's private chat window popped up.
Editor Huya: "Are you there?"
Chen Mo: "Yes, Huya."
Editor Huya: "Your data and recommendations during the new book launch period are excellent. Keep up the current momentum and mindset."
Editor Huya: "As long as this book continues to be written at this level, it's only a matter of time before it achieves success."
Chen Mo: "Understood, thank you Huya, I will continue to work hard."
Editor Huya: "Yes, keep the updates consistent and maintain quality. Feel free to contact me anytime if you have any questions."
Chen Mo: "Okay."
Chen Mo closed the chat window with the editor, leaned back in his chair, and smiled slightly.
It would be a lie to say I'm not happy.
He started writing online novels with a try-it-out mentality, but unexpectedly, he actually made some progress.
With nearly 5,000 favorites and almost 3,000 reads, this show has a good chance of becoming a top seller on its first day of release.
For a newcomer, this is already a very good result.
But Chen Mo knew in his heart that this was only the beginning.
The real test comes after it goes on sale.
He read other authors' complaints and chats in the group and learned that many books were incredibly popular during their initial release, but then collapsed immediately after being published, with readers' interest plummeting.
Then the author had a mental breakdown and never recovered.
He can't be like others and open champagne halfway through the game.
There's a saying: "When you succeed, raise a glass and recount your original aspirations."
Chen Mo felt that it wouldn't be too late to share the joy with others once the book achieved stable results.
Otherwise, if he flaunts it everywhere now and then collapses later, he'll become a laughing stock.
Chen Mo closed all the web pages, opened the document, and began to write diligently.
The data feedback is good, so the state of mind is naturally good, and I am more confident in writing. This is a positive logic.
Therefore, he still plans to write more and save some manuscripts.
After all, I'm going for a night hike on Friday, so I definitely won't have time to write on Saturday and Sunday. I need to prepare for the update in advance.
In the quiet room, Chen Mo was completely immersed in his creation, losing track of time.
He only stopped when his phone alarm rang, reminding him it was time to sleep, and glanced at his work.
I actually wrote 8,200 words today.
After saving the document and shutting down the computer, Chen Mo got up and stretched his stiff shoulders.
Then I prepared to wash up and go to bed.
……
Over the next few days, the work proceeded smoothly as planned.
The project under Chen Mo's leadership is progressing smoothly, the team is working well together, and several key milestones have been completed on time.
In the meantime, he reported his work to Shen Qingyue once.
When they met at the company, Chen Mo acted quite naturally, just like a normal superior and subordinate.
Reporting progress and listening to instructions were done without any overstepping of boundaries.
But he vaguely felt that Shen Qingyue's gaze towards him seemed somewhat unnatural.
Although she still maintains a cool and capable demeanor on the surface, speaks clearly and makes decisive decisions.
But her gaze would occasionally dart away from his, and her tone was slightly faster than usual.
Moreover, her cold didn't seem to be getting better.
