"Xiaohui, have you thought this through? If you don't work the full month, you won't get the bonus!"

The fat woman threatened Li Minghui when she saw his determination.

"Hehe, the contract doesn't say that. If I work one day, I get one day's pay. If you deduct my money, I'll go to your company to get it. I don't believe I can't earn my hard-earned money!"

Li Minghui wasn't a naive young man; he had hit the fat woman's weak spot.

Finding people to do the work is an unwritten rule. If it remains unspoken, everyone can live in peace. But if it becomes public, the fat woman won't be in a good position. She doesn't need to lose so much just for a few hundred dollars.

…………………………

After successfully retrieving his salary, Li Minghui felt a bit lost for a moment. After all, he had lost a job, and he was quite disappointed.

But then Li Minghui perked up. With the creative software, he had an extraordinary talent for writing novels. Combined with his unparalleled advantage in this world, he was confident he could make a name for himself with countless creative ideas from his previous life.

Thinking about this, Li Minghui felt much better. Looking up at the slightly gray sky of the capital, he no longer felt so much disgust but felt a surge of excitement. He said to himself, "Li Minghui, since you've come to this parallel space, you should work hard and live better!"

He went to the telecommunications office to get the internet set up, signed up for six months of unlimited internet, and had someone adjust his computer. This cost him another 300 yuan.

But to upload web novels, he had to go online, which was a must. The previous Li Minghui, to save money, always used his phone to read news and download novels. Now that he finally had broadband, he was quite excited.

After returning home, he first activated the creative software. After two hours, he had written 4,200 words, and his state was better than ever. Since he had quit his job and had nothing to do, Li Minghui went to Qidian Chinese Network.

Qidian Chinese Network is a website in this world that has been established for ten years. It has the most professional team. For future considerations, Li Minghui thought about it and registered on this website. This is the largest web novel website in this world, with millions of readers. Developing on this website is the most likely way for Li Minghui to become a god of web novels.

He registered a new account. Although the previous Li Minghui had an account, the nickname was a bunch of numbers. Creating an author account is associated with the nickname, so his pen name couldn't be a bunch of numbers. Using another pen name that wasn't linked to the nickname felt awkward to Li Minghui.

The new account registration was quick. He bound it to his phone and, since he would use this account in the future, he completed the real-name verification to ensure account security. After everything was set up, Li Minghui clicked on the author section.

Fortunately, Qidian's author registration is very convenient, with step-by-step prompts. Li Minghui followed the prompts and set his nickname and pen name to "Ming Huiguang."

Next was the author introduction. As a five-year-old bookworm, Li Minghui, now in a position of power, was ready to make a name for himself. After completing the registration, he was prompted to create his first new book.

Li Minghui thought for a moment and, with some excitement, entered the name "Zhu Xian." Fortunately, the name wasn't registered. For the genre, Li Minghui naturally chose the "Xianxia" category. The first letter of the work was "Z," and the custom tag was "Passionate Classic."

After making all the choices and filling in the new book introduction, the new book was finally created, and he could upload the first chapter for the editor to review.

All this information was already in Li Minghui's mind. As a reader with a five-year reading history, he naturally knew all this, including the rules of Qidian's various ranking lists, which he knew very well, so he didn't waste time.

He smoothly uploaded more than 3,000 words, ensuring that it was readable and had a suspenseful ending. Li Minghui completed the upload of the first chapter.

Next was the waiting. The review process takes time. Li Minghui thought that since he was online, he might as well check out other new books and compare them with his own.

Qidian's new books are divided into four lists: the new book list for signed authors, the new book list for public authors, the new book list for new signed authors, and the new book list for new authors.

There are even two lists for new authors, plus a list for semi-new public authors, showing the website's emphasis on new authors.

This continuous blood-making mechanism is the reason Li Minghui ultimately chose this place. Here, as long as your work is of high quality, you will eventually have a chance to stand out. "Zhu Xian," a classic masterpiece from his previous life, Li Minghui believed that with the help of the creative software, it would shine even more brightly in this world!

Li Minghui didn't log out of the website but downloaded all the new books on the homepage to his phone, lay on the bed, and slowly read them, secretly comparing the strengths and weaknesses of these works.

As an old bookworm, his ability to appreciate works was quite good. He specially marked some good books as references and found the reasons why other works made it to the lists.

However, the phone could only show the works themselves, and the reasons for making the lists required a closer look. For example, good recommendations, regular updates, attracting readers, or fast updates, etc., were all reasons. Of course, there was one reason Li Minghui didn't want to think about, as it wasn't the right path and would harm both himself and others.

Since it was related to his future, Li Minghui didn't skim through the articles as he used to but carefully examined them. He noted down some touching sentences and expression techniques as his own text reserve. Although he had a five-year reading history, he used to read for pleasure and didn't think too much. Now, reading this way made him slowly understand more, even though he still lacked talent, his experience had increased.

Time passed quickly. With four lists and 48 books, Li Minghui had only read a few and studied even fewer. It was already noon.

"Ah, it's already twelve o'clock!"

Unconsciously, it was already time for lunch. Li Minghui put down his phone, went to the computer, and refreshed the author section. He found that the review information had not yet been sent.

He turned off the computer. Li Minghui thought for a moment and decided to go out to buy some groceries. Although he had quit his job, he still needed to eat and couldn't neglect himself.

He changed his clothes and went out. At this moment, his phone rang. Li Minghui took it out and saw that it was a message from his leader, Zhang Wei.

He opened it and read, "Fifth, I got Cheng Juan's number for you. Be proactive, don't let my efforts go to waste!"

Looking at the phone number, Li Minghui hesitated for a moment but still saved it to his phone: "Sigh, my leader is good to me, I know, but what should I send?"

After thinking for a moment, Li Minghui decided to deal with it later and first take care of lunch.

It must be said that Li Minghui's emotional intelligence is too low. Zhang Wei's message at this time was naturally a hint to invite the girl to dinner, but he didn't have the emotional intelligence for that!

At this moment, Zhang Wei was in a security room in a residential area, with his legs crossed, humming a tune. "Hehe, I've created such a good opportunity for the fifth. This guy can secretly be happy. Having a leader like me is his luck!"

But Zhang Wei didn't know that without his guidance, this guy wouldn't have the awareness to actively invite a girl out.

Going to the nearby supermarket, he bought some discounted and reduced-price vegetables. After thinking for a moment, he also bought some pork. Li Minghui was satisfied and paid for the items and went back.

He made a bowl of noodles for lunch, which made him quite happy, but he didn't know that a girl was hungry, waiting for him to invite her to dinner.

After dinner, his mental energy was restored. Today, Li Minghui didn't immediately activate the creative software but carefully reviewed the day's reading. Although these might not be useful, Li Minghui felt he should do it. "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step; a river cannot be formed without small streams." Therefore, learning is very important. Web novels may seem simple, but they still require learning. Learning from other authors' strengths and correcting his own weaknesses would help him accumulate more and write better novels using the creative software.

"Alright, let's start!"

Feeling a lot of insights, Li Minghui sat in front of the computer, opened a Word document, and activated the creative software with a clear mind.

As usual, he wrote for two hours, and inspiration and ideas kept coming. Perhaps his writing speed had improved, or perhaps today's review work was really helpful. After two hours of using the creative software, Li Minghui found that he had written 5,000 words.

Two hours, 5,000 words, this had already broken his previous highest record. After reading it carefully, the article was smooth and engaging, giving a sense of enjoyment.

He then spent half an hour reviewing the article, correcting typos, and closed the Word document with satisfaction. He logged back into the Qidian website's author backend.

As soon as he entered the backend, Li Minghui saw that Qidian had sent a congratulatory page. His article had passed the review and could be searched within 48 hours.

"Yay, that's great!"

Li Minghui cheered with joy. The first step was finally successful, although this step wasn't much. Even the people at Qidian, except for the review editor, didn't know about this book. Li Minghui was still very excited.

He refreshed the backend page and saw that the number of collections was still 0. Li Minghui wasn't disappointed but uploaded the second chapter of 3,000 words.

"Alright, with so few words and just passing the review, it's normal for no one to see it!"

Li Minghui quickly thought of the reason. Although it was a new website, it was quite extraordinary. Many people read on Qidian, but fewer people looked for books in the update list. His book had few words and an unremarkable title, so why would anyone read it?

After thinking it through, he stopped worrying and turned off the computer to rest early.

To be honest, although he didn't have to go to work today, studying the books in detail was quite tiring. Li Minghui was already very sleepy. As soon as his head hit the pillow, he fell into a deep sleep.
