Chapter 205 Novel Tops the Newcomer Chart #1
"Good girl." Upon hearing Jiang Chengcheng's words, Sirius finally returned to his usual self, gently stroking her head with a smile in his eyes, indicating his satisfaction with Jiang Chengcheng's answer.
扣…
扣…
Just as the atmosphere between the two was filled with unspoken ambiguity, the car suddenly stopped, and there was a soft knock on the door.
"Boss, we've arrived," the driver's voice came from the front seat.
Even though the curtain in front of the car was drawn, Jiang Chengcheng still felt incredibly embarrassed when she came to her senses. The other person had most likely heard her talking.
Jiang Chengcheng's face was flushed red, and she wished she could find a crack in the ground to bury herself. But then she thought about how she had just spoken in Chinese, so the driver shouldn't be able to understand what they were saying, right?
Of course, Jiang Chengcheng could only comfort herself with this thought.
Perhaps sensing Jiang Chengcheng's shyness, Sirius subtly raised the corners of his mouth before speaking.
"Shy? It's okay, you'll get used to it sooner or later."
Sirius's words were less of a consolation and more of a declaration of dominance. Without waiting for Jiang Chengcheng's reaction, he took her hand and led her out the door. This place was remote and not many people usually came here. If Jiang Chengcheng couldn't adapt now, she would only be more nervous when there were more people around.
"I...I can walk by myself." Jiang Chengcheng was so nervous that she seemed unable to speak. Her usual sharp tongue was nowhere to be seen.
“…Alright.” Sirius didn’t want to push Jiang Chengcheng too hard. After all, the gradual approach was more effective in winning people’s hearts. So, he reluctantly let go of Jiang Chengcheng and the group walked into the villa.
Little did he know that Jiang Chengcheng wasn't just nervous at this moment; she was thinking about how to confront Lin Xingyun and the others after returning to China. After all, the group of people who had been protecting her should have realized something was wrong by now, even if they were completely clueless.
In fact, Jiang Chengcheng's guess was correct. When Jiang Chengcheng visited Sirius, Xiao Shan was still hesitating whether he was overthinking things and that the two were just ordinary friends.
But when Jiang Chengcheng went to the Kremlin with Sirius, then returned to his home, and even walked out of the car hand in hand, if Xiao Shan still couldn't understand what was going on, all these years of hard work would have been for nothing.
Xiao Shan thought it over and over again, agonizing in the shadows for a long time, and finally decided to keep it a secret for the time being, and wait for an opportunity to talk to Jiang Chengcheng alone first.
After all, he was there to protect Jiang Chengcheng, not to monitor her.
.........
the other side.
After Jiang Chengcheng returned to the villa, she was assigned to a room next to Sirius's bedroom.
Since it wasn't too late, Jiang Chengcheng opened the website on her phone, wanting to see what the status of her novel was.
When Jiang Chengcheng's novel was first released, the number of visitors was not ideal because it was a small account. After discussing with Jiang Chengcheng, Yingxue thought that they should wait until the novel reached 15 words before promoting it, so that more people would stay.
Jiang Chengcheng had been spending time with Sirius for the past few days and had accumulated quite a few manuscripts, now totaling over 200,000 words. Today, she decided to check the recommendation results.
Jiang Chengcheng opened the backend of her work and saw messages flooding in, along with countless likes and rewards. With a nervous heart, Jiang Chengcheng opened the comment section, which was almost entirely filled with praise.
"Author, please update soon! I really want to see what happens next in the story."
"It's so well written, I can't wait to see what happens next."
"Wow, that's amazing! The author seems to have just registered a new account. Did some industry bigwig create a new account?"
"I guess so, otherwise who could write a novel this well right from the start?"
"Reaching the top of the newcomer chart in less than ten days, and with less than 500,000 words, I never dared to dream of such a thing!"
"There must be someone behind him! Do you even need to ask? Have you ever seen an author get a featured spot right from the start? If it's not related, I'll take my head off and let you guys kick it around like a ball."
"Not necessarily, didn't the person upstairs say it could also be a secondary account?"
"Ah! I can't believe anyone hasn't read this novel yet! Highly recommended! It's so good!"
"I wonder what the protagonist will do next. If he makes the wrong choice, it could be fatal!"
"Don't worry, he has the protagonist's halo, why should we worry about him? My brother Tie will definitely be fine!"
Seeing the comments below the article, Jiang Chengcheng realized that she had actually reached the top of the new author list. This speed was indeed explosive. After all, although it was the new book list, most of the books on it were probably works by top authors with more than 500,000 words and an update time of up to 2 months. Jiang Chengcheng's ability to surpass all others with 200,000 words in less than 10 days was enough to demonstrate her strength.
The most outrageous thing is that Jiang Chengcheng's new work, "Void King," is not only number one on the newcomer list, but it has also entered the top 100 on the monthly ticket list and the popularity list, and it is showing a steady upward trend. You should know that the monthly ticket list and the popularity list are the real top-level places that top-notch writers can only reach after a long period of hard work.
Jiang Chengcheng has now reached the top 100 with just one unfinished novel, which hasn't even started yet. This is extremely rare, even in the entire online literature world. Not to mention that she only has 200,000 words so far. It is certain that as long as she maintains her level and doesn't write poorly, this will definitely be a masterpiece that dominates the online literature world once it is finished.
Of course, along with the high quality of the novels and the rankings, there are also questions from fans of various top authors about the content of the novels. Some extreme fans may even maliciously leave negative reviews to reduce the number of readers. However, Jiang Chengcheng is currently at the bottom of the monthly ticket ranking and popularity ranking, so there are not many people deliberately targeting her work yet. But as long as Jiang Chengcheng's ranking continues to rise, there will only be more and more people looking for trouble in the future.
However, Jiang Chengcheng wouldn't care about these things. After all, the requirement of her novel contract was completion, and there was no stipulation on whether it would be a major hit or a minor hit. Jiang Chengcheng didn't need to make trouble for herself over such a thing.
Jiang Chengcheng glanced at the comments and the novel rankings before posting today's novel. To her surprise, within two minutes of posting, comments kept refreshing, mostly urging for updates, with a few nitpicking.
"I've caught an author! Get back to updating! These few chapters aren't even enough to fill a tooth gap!"
"Don't make me beg you! Go update the story now!"
"Ha! So you're the author of those trashy novels that stole my chili pepper ranking list? I don't see how good they are at all! I don't even know what they're writing!"
"You're hilarious! What kind of garbage did Chili Pepper write? Doesn't he have any self-awareness? Does eating too much 's' mean he can't eat a big meal anymore?"
"Yeah! You still look at it even though it's ugly? You're so capable! You can't even hold a garbage bag as much as I can!"
It has to be said that Jiang Chengcheng's new fans are really fierce. When they see someone deliberately picking a fight, they go up and unleash a barrage of insults, making the other party retreat at lightning speed!
