Chapter 88

【ps: Here's the third update, let's count it for the 16th. I have to go back to the company tomorrow, so it will be a busy day. I'll update in the evening, so don't wait in the morning~】

Tong Yan was stunned. What did this mean? Were they planning a rebellion or something?

Just as he was feeling awkward, the deputy moderator and the group leader, Wo Ben Xiaozhang, who had been awake all along, spoke up.

Wo Ben Xiaozhang: "You two, stop messing around. If you have votes, go and cast them. We still need to catch up with the ones ahead of us!"

Qing Lian Bu Yao: "Exactly, people have already voted. You two shouldn't hesitate anymore."

Xiao Yao 820: "Finally, I can go to sleep now."

Yi Xiao Ji Duo Chou: "Wu Ji, I just have one question. Why has my favorite Ge Mei appeared so little recently? What do you mean by that?"

Shuijiao De Lanmao: "And what about those tribal widows? Why did the ambiguity just stop? Are you going to keep them or not!"

It turned out that due to the sudden change in the style of "Furious Thunder," many readers had become dissatisfied. Although they weren't here for the erotic scenes or the women, and the panda cub Qiu Dan was the most popular character, the sudden marginalization of the widows and Ge Mei had upset those who liked them. They had expected Tong Yan Wu Ji to release some benefits when the book went VIP, but instead, the story became more and more tame, even marginalizing the cute little Ge Mei.

Because of this sudden change, the group had been in an uproar. Many readers were dissatisfied, and with Tong Yan busy with exams, he had no time to manage the group. Zhang Xiao didn't want to affect Tong Yan's exams over this, so it was only now that Tong Yan found out.

Tong Yan Wu Ji: "Actually, none of the female characters who have appeared so far are the main heroine. She hasn't shown up yet, please be patient. She will be a very charming girl."

Yi Xiao Ji Duo Chou: "Then why did you write about them before?"

Shuijiao De Lanmao: "Exactly, the little widow, sigh."

Tong Yan Wu Ji: "I'm really sorry for the change. I didn't think it through before. Now my ideas are clearer, and I believe this is a better choice."

Jiu Long Dao Wang Mo: "I trust Wu Ji. I've already subscribed and voted, but really, just two chapters?"

Tong Yan refreshed the backend. It was just 12 o'clock, and the chapters had been released for ten minutes. The subscriptions for the two chapters were 47 and 45, and there were already 7 monthly votes. Indeed, some people only supported the first chapter and didn't continue. Guajie and Huabiao had mentioned this situation to him before, so he wasn't surprised.

Tong Yan Wu Ji: "I'll add more updates in two days."

Yi Xiao Ji Duo Chou: "If you add more, I'll subscribe again."

Shuijiao De Lanmao: "Then I'll vote too."

Wo Zhu Chui Guo De Feng: "Weren't you two going to boycott it completely?"

Yu Shiguang Dui Zhi: "I've heard that too."

Wo Ben Xiaozhang: "Don't discourage them, everyone who votes and subscribes is great. Don't forget our goal!"

Yi Xiao Ji Duo Chou: "No cavities!"

Xiao Xiao Shu Tong: "..."

Amidst the laughter and scolding, Tong Yan chatted a bit more, then closed QQ. He had a broad fan base, and the homepage recommendation had kept "Furious Thunder" in the top five of the weekly click-through list. The number of followers had surged from 13,000 to 19,000, not far from the 20,000 mark. However, from the reactions of some group members, he knew that the sudden change in style had caused some readers to temporarily hold back or even leave.

Tong Yan regretted it, but not the change itself. He regretted the abruptness of the change. If he had planned the plot better and delayed it a bit, he could have mitigated the readers' dissatisfaction. As most readers thought, the biggest draw of the book wasn't the women.

Tong Yan checked the subscription status again. The subscriptions for the two chapters were 101 and 97, and the number of monthly votes was 18. It seemed not every subscriber had voted.

It had been less than half an hour since the chapters were released. Tong Yan noticed that his rank on the monthly vote list was 221. In front of him was Sa Leng's "YY King of Media Empire," and behind him was Gui Yu's "Taoist Immortal of Confucianism." The former, Sa Leng, had become famous with "YY King" (originally named "Dragon"), but the sequel didn't perform well and updates were infrequent. The latter, "Taoist Immortal of Confucianism," was popular in the physical market and didn't care much about online subscriptions, so it updated every so often. Both were examples of authors who became famous with one book, and with Tong Yan Wu Ji in between, it might be a sign that he would also become famous with one book.

However, Tong Yan Wu Ji was still very young. Even among the new books of the month, "Furious Thunder" was outside the top ten. But considering that the VIP chapters had only been up for half an hour, the book and the author still had great potential.

Tong Yan wanted to keep refreshing the backend to check subscriptions and monthly votes, but he had an exam the next day, so he had to go to sleep. The computer was taken over by Old Liu, who had recently gotten a QQ account and made a few (female) friends. He often stayed up late, truly showing that age doesn't determine one's spirit.

The exams started, and as Tong Yan entered the second exam room, he forced himself not to think about subscriptions and monthly votes, but his mind wouldn't listen. Fortunately, the first subject was Chinese, and doing the questions was like a reflex. Writing the essay was as natural as drinking water, and he finished everything in less than an hour. After a quick check, he started to daydream, wondering how many subscriptions and monthly votes there were.

He had the chance to go back to the dorm at noon, but Tong Yan didn't touch the computer. He needed to maintain a good mental state for the afternoon exams, so he had to temporarily bury his intense curiosity.

Because he had something on his mind, Tong Yan made a few mistakes in physics and biology, but he caught them during the check. He was afraid there might still be some small errors, but there were no obvious ones he couldn't solve. This exam focused more on the basics rather than expansion, and with his solid foundation, he could handle it with ease.

Even during the exam period, evening self-study wasn't canceled. Tong Yan stayed until 10 o'clock, just about to go back to the dorm, when Song Rao appeared quietly and invited him to take a walk on the small playground.

Tong Yan didn't hesitate; of course, he would go. He hadn't held Song Rao's hand enough, and if he had the chance, he wanted to hold both of her hands.

Tong Yan wasn't sure what their relationship was. When he held Song Rao's hand, she didn't refuse, but when he invited her to the small forest, she pulled her hand away and put on the old Song family's stern face, "We have exams tomorrow, can you stop daydreaming!"

"I'm not daydreaming. I just wanted to sing a song for you, 'Ten Years.' Have you heard it? I just learned it."

In the end, the two of them didn't go to the small forest to sing "Ten Years" because Tong Yan saw Wang Tiehan leading people to sweep the area. They wisely chose to go back to their respective homes.

Tong Yan had wanted to go online for a long time, but he didn't dare to go to Old Liu's place before the lights were out. Half an hour after the lights were out, Tong Yan sneaked out of the dorm.

After opening Qidian, Tong Yan first logged into the author backend, entered the VIP section, and saw that the subscriptions for the two chapters were 1791 and 1755, with a total of 3544 subscriptions and an average of 1773!
