Chapter 7

Returning to the house without Liu Qin, Luoyang felt an emptiness within.

"Let's start writing." A slight smile curved at the corner of his mouth, and Luoyang sat back down in front of his computer.

Thus... the lonely life of a writer began anew.

However, over the next two days, besides the regular updates, Luoyang also spent time stockpiling chapters in case of emergencies, which made him busy once again.

The melancholy brought by the parting was somewhat alleviated by the busyness.

...

At 9:00 AM on Monday, the sun was high in the sky, but Luoyang was still asleep. He had gone to bed very late last night, so he was sleeping in today.

He didn't know that at this moment, *Wushuang* had already been featured as the top recommendation on the Xingchen Novel Network.

Unlike the author, who was indifferent to the performance of his work, Editor Xiaoyuan had been sitting in front of the computer since early morning, constantly refreshing the page, her beautiful eyes fixed on the performance chart of *Wushuang*.

As a new editor, Xiaoyuan knew that *Wushuang* could very well be the turning point of her career!

But—without verification, there was always some uncertainty. Even with great confidence in the book, Xiaoyuan was still nervous and anxious.

However, after *Wushuang* had been on the recommendation for three hours, Xiaoyuan in front of the computer could no longer control her excitement!

Because all the data for *Wushuang*... had exploded!

The number of recommendation votes increased from 9,952 to 15,386!

The total number of clicks increased from 5,460 to 10,616!

The total number of favorites increased from 2,330 to 6,296 in just three hours!

"Nearly 4,000 favorites in three hours, and the clicks and recommendations are skyrocketing... This performance is simply out of this world!" Xiaoyuan was almost too afraid to imagine what would happen if this trend continued for a week. Although she knew that the most significant increase usually happens on the first day after a recommendation, the current trend suggested that even if the growth rate slowed down, it wouldn't be much lower.

This time, she had really hit the jackpot!

In the past, such a level of increase in the fantasy category had only been seen with well-established authors on the Xingchen Novel Network.

For a new author to achieve such results on their first recommendation was truly terrifying!

So when Xiaoyuan saw the three-hour performance of *Wushuang*, she was so excited that her whole body was trembling—she had expected the data to explode, but not to this extent!

"After all, *Wushuang* is just a new book by a new author..." After being stunned by the data, Xiaoyuan muttered to herself.

As for the book review section, it was now flooded with countless rewards!

"Clapping and standing up, no reward can express my admiration! Weak Machine rewards *Wushuang* 1,000 Xingchen Coins!"

"Clapping and standing up, no reward can express my admiration! Paradise Not Lonely rewards *Wushuang* 1,000 Xingchen Coins!"

"Clapping and standing up, no reward can express my admiration! I Call Feng Shuo rewards *Wushuang* 500 Xingchen Coins!"

"Clapping and standing up, no reward can express my admiration! Tides rewards *Wushuang* 500 Xingchen Coins!"

The uniform rewards amounted to over 4,000 Xingchen Coins in just five hours!

Even after deducting half for conversion to Long Yuan, it still exceeded 2,000 Long Yuan—there were many wealthy and passionate readers.

The comment section of *Wushuang* was also boiling with excitement—

"I just discovered a book of this caliber! Here's my reward, please update!"

"I found a great book, please update, it's not enough to read just a little..."

"White City? Who is this god in disguise?"

"Too intense, I've decided to follow this book to the end, no matter what happens!"

"If this book maintains its quality, it will definitely be a masterpiece of fantasy! It's so thrilling, I'm already pumped up after just 80,000 words."

"I'm a very picky old bookworm who had lost interest in fantasy, but after reading this book by chance, I feel like I'm back to when I first started reading web novels. It's written so well!"

"Please recommend similar rebirth stories, this idea is so exciting! I haven't seen such a good fantasy in a long time!"

"To be honest, every time the protagonist breaks through, I'm captivated! This is the most brilliant fantasy idea I've ever seen, no exaggeration!"

The comment section was almost entirely positive, and any negative comments were quickly drowned out by the overwhelming number of positive ones.

Before the recommendation, the book was only ranked 22nd on the new author list. After just three hours on the recommendation, it had surged to the top of the list with a force that left all others in the dust.

The ground was littered with the remains of the defeated.

————————

In the editorial department of the Xingchen Novel Network.

The editors had also noticed *Wushuang*.

Especially when they saw the data in the backend, they all sucked in a sharp breath, shocked by the performance of *Wushuang*! "A boss has appeared this period! Check out this author called White City!"

"Is the backend data wrong, or is there a system issue? *Wushuang* is a new book by a new author, it shouldn't be this strong, right?"

"Or... is White City a new pen name for a famous author?"

"It's been investigated, the data is absolutely real, and the author is indeed a new one!"

"Then... this period, we've got a major dark horse!?"

"This performance isn't just a dark horse, it's the birth of a new god!"

"The data looks like it's been manipulated, is White City really a new author..." one editor muttered, finding it hard to believe.

"Data manipulation and piracy are illegal in our country, so it's impossible for this book to have fake data. The backend monitoring is not a joke, they've confirmed the data is extremely real." Another editor said with certainty.

The other editors nodded.

In our country, piracy is completely eradicated, and penalties for data manipulation, plagiarism, and other offenses are severe, so the protection of intellectual property is very robust.

Therefore, the performance of *Wushuang* is absolutely real.

"*Wushuang*! Such terrifying data! Who is White City's editor?" The chief editor was also shocked by the performance of *Wushuang*.

He excitedly ran to the Xingchen Novel Network's editor group chat to ask, as he hadn't encountered a book with such potential in many years!

"Not our group..."

"Not our group either..."

"Not our group..."

Editors from each group chimed in, and the author White City was unfamiliar to all of them, clearly not signed by any of them.

"It's my author, I think it belongs to Group 20..." a timid editor spoke up.

"Xiaoyuan!" When they saw the avatar of the cute anime girl in the group chat, all the editors were shocked.

This... a rare breakout author that a new editor had discovered?

Group 20 was a newly established editorial group, and Xiaoyuan was the only editor, with consistently poor performance. No one expected her to quietly produce an author with such explosive data!

"I should have stayed up late to review more manuscripts, maybe I would have found *Wushuang*!" Many editors thought, regretting their decision.

Envy, admiration, shock, jealousy... all these emotions flashed through the editors' minds.

"Congratulations!"

"Congratulations, Xiaoyuan!"

"White City, with proper cultivation, could become a new god!"

No matter the emotions, they were hidden in their hearts, and the editors, some genuinely and some not, congratulated Xiaoyuan in the group chat.

Xiaoyuan was so shocked she almost couldn't speak, her eyes welling up with tears at the congratulations from her seniors, who had never been so polite to her before.

"Xiaoyuan, you did a great job!" The chief editor also typed, clearly very satisfied with Xiaoyuan.

Judging by the performance, as long as White City maintains the quality, he will definitely become another god on the Xingchen Novel Network!

After all, gods are scarce resources on any website, and each new one is worth celebrating. So the chief editor was in an extremely good mood.

"This month, we must give Xiaoyuan a bonus!" the chief editor said happily.

"Thank you, Chief Editor! Thank you, everyone!" Xiaoyuan typed, silently adding, "Most of all, I should thank White City..."
