I asked you to write a book, not to disclose your criminal record!

Chapter 65 Going to sea!

The next day, early in the morning.

In the old city area, the morning light shines through the hazy clouds and shines on this mottled city, as if covering Anling with a layer of golden gauze.

The wind sometimes gently blows across the street, raising a cloud of dust, and sometimes brings some irregular sounds, like an old cat snoring on the street corner, and sneaks into Lin Chuan's narrow rental house.

yesterday.

Lin Chuan first set up a firewall for the Forbidden City, and then played a game with Lao Wang and others, so he went to bed early.

This morning, what woke Lin Chuan up was not the wind or the morning sun, but the leisurely breeze.

Ding dong ding dong.

9: 00.

Youyou sent the message on time.

"Treasure~"

"Get up."

"Woo——"

Lin Chuan stretched, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and pressed his temples. After waking up, he replied Youyou: "Youyou, I'm here."

"Have you had breakfast?" Youyou asked with concern.

"not yet."

Lin Chuan replied to the message while brushing his teeth.

"Baby~ I need to tell you something about the situation in "Hacker Kingdom." Youyou sent a series of messages.

In the rented house, in front of the washbasin covered with old tiles.

Lin Chuan's hand holding the toothbrush froze: "Is the data not good?"

Youyou replied: "Well, I arranged a recommendation for you yesterday. This recommendation will have a lot of exposure."

Lin Chuan frowned, feeling something was wrong: "How is the conversion effect?"

“A little bit worse.”

Youyou replied with three words.

Then she sent a background data chart.

[04/02 Qihang Novel's "Editor's Recommendation" Recommendation Effect]

【Work: Hacker Kingdom】

【Collection count: 2607. 】

【Average number of subscriptions: 318. 】

[Reading conversion rate brought by recommendation: 4‰, average level: 12‰]

[Retention rate of chapters brought by recommendations: 67%, average level: 50%]

Reading conversion rate is the ratio of the number of recommendations to the number of readers.

4‰!
"Only four thousandths?"

Lin Chuan's eyes narrowed, and he immediately stared at one of the data, his brows slightly tightened.

Big Recommendation, Small Trumpet, Editor-in-Chief's Recommendation, and Bestseller Selection are the four mainstream recommendations with the highest exposure in Qihang Novel Recommendations.

If a novel is included in one of the recommendations, but there is no obvious improvement in performance.

Then, it can basically be declared GG.

The early morning wind blew the curtains of the rented living room, fluttered on Lin Chuan's body, and got into his shorts. Lin Chuan's whole body was covered with goose bumps.

So cool!
Tongzi, can you please subscribe?

The system quickly gave a reply -

'Host, subscriptions are not counted in real popularity.'

'Currently 318 popularity points, still 5682 points away, host, keep working hard.'

hiss!
Lin Chuan took a deep breath and murmured, "5682 popularity points, that's a bit far off. Am I going to fail at the hacker level?"

I just tasted the sweetness brought by the ability of "top hacking technology" yesterday, and today the data of the novel woke me up.

No wonder no one has written hacker-themed novels in recent years.

It’s so cool!
"Treasure~"

"Don't be discouraged yet."

Seeing that Lin Chuan hadn't replied for a long time, Youyou guessed Lin Chuan's mood at the moment and quickly said something to comfort him.

Lin Chuan calmed down and said, "Youyou, I'm actually fine."

"That's good. My editor-in-chief Mingyue and I have some ideas about your book 'Hacker Kingdom'." Youyou replied quickly.

"Youyou, you say, I can hold on." Lin Chuan forced a smile and waited for Youyou's analysis. Soon, Youyou sent a series of messages.

"Bao, Sister Mingyue and I agree that there may be two reasons why your reading conversion rate is so low."

"First, the reading threshold of "Hacker Kingdom" is a bit high."

"As editors, Sister Mingyue and I read through the first 100,000 words and found it very tiring because it was too professional."

"This profession is different from the professionalism of a killer. It is difficult for outsiders to understand the professionalism of a hacker."

“Second, there are very few domestic audiences for this topic.”

"When the hacker theme of Qihang novels was popular, it was the time when the hacker culture wave was set off in China, but it has been ten years since then."

"If we want to recreate the glory of hacker themes in the past, we have to set off another wave of hacker culture in China."

at this time.

Lin Chuan leaned back in his chair, frowning.

The two reasons Youyou mentioned hit the nail on the head.

The novel "Hacker Kingdom" has a high reading threshold and a small domestic audience for its subject matter, which is why its current performance is so dismal.

However, the solution mentioned by Youyou, "to set off a wave of hacker culture again", is extremely difficult.

"That's true." Lin Chuan was quite helpless.

"Bao, let me ask you a question."

"Youyou, ask."

"Are you confident in the quality of the book 'Hacker Kingdom'?" Youyou asked.

Lin Chuan frowned and thought for a moment: "Yes."

After he has mastered top-notch hacking skills, he will carefully review "Hacker Kingdom" generated by the system based on his experience, and the quality must be top-notch.

But, the result was a flop.

"Baby~Then wait for my good news!" Youyou sent a message.

……

Magic City, Qihang Novel Office Building.

Youyou put down her phone and looked at the Excel spreadsheet "Overseas Work Application Form" on the computer screen. She clenched her fist and typed in the relevant information of "Hacker Kingdom".

Recently, Qihang Novel has started to prepare for its "novel going overseas".

That is, publishing the novel overseas.

Every editor is eligible to recommend works, but the minimum requirement is an average subscription of 10,000.

Logically speaking.

Lin Chuan's "Hacker Kingdom" has an average subscription of 318, and has absolutely no chance of entering the ranks of "novel export".

However, Youyou wants to give Lin Chuan a chance.

Lin Chuan is the most promising author under her, with two consecutive masterpieces expected to reach 10,000 subscriptions.

If "Hacker Kingdom" fails completely, Youyou is worried that it will hit Lin Chuan's self-confidence and he will never recover.

Therefore, Youyou made up his mind to promote "Hacker Kingdom" overseas.

Her idea was simple: hacker culture was not popular in China, so she would promote it overseas.

Hacker culture is flourishing overseas.

Especially the northern bear.

But the idea is simple, but the implementation is difficult.

So, after filling out the "Overseas Works Application Form", Youyou took a deep breath and then walked towards the office of the editor-in-chief of Qihang Novel.

"no!"

In the office, the editor-in-chief just took a quick look at the results of "Hacker Kingdom" and rejected it outright.

Youyou pursed her lips and tried to say, "Editor-in-chief, the author of this novel, Lin, has written two masterpieces in succession."

"The Tazza took the first place in the 'Competition of Heroes' category. The Professional is expected to reach 10,000 orders. If Hacker Kingdom can be exported overseas, I believe it will achieve outstanding results."

The editor-in-chief frowned slightly, but still shook his head: "Youyou, it's hard for me to explain to my superiors that I'm going to publish a work with only 300 average subscriptions overseas."

Youyou gritted her teeth and said, "I can guarantee it!"

"What guarantees do you have?"

"Based on...based on my year-end bonus!" Her long and slender eyelashes trembled slightly, and a look of determination appeared on her delicate face.
