Xu Lin: "Not bad."

Ranzhi: "Next month, Mr. Xu's royalties will break ten million, and my commission starts at one hundred thousand! Hehe.jpg"

Ranzhi: "Let me congratulate Mr. Xu in advance on breaking ten million royalties!"

Xu Lin: "Handshake.jpg"

Ranzhi also replied with the same emoji.

Then, Ranzhi responded: "Mr. Xu, the website wants to use your royalties for a bit of promotion and release a new call for submissions, is that okay?"

"How so?"

"It's like this..."

Ranzhi explained a bit. It's essentially promotion within the author community; with high income like this, other sites do it too. They promote how much certain authors earn monthly to attract more talented authors to contribute quality works to the site. Generally, other sites promote authors earning tens of thousands monthly, but Xu Lin's eight million-plus is unprecedented, very exaggerated and indeed worth promoting, and it will draw traffic too.

Xu Lin thought it was fine, "No problem, you guys can decide."

Ranzhi: "I'll report it, sorry to trouble you, Mr. Xu!"

"No problem."

Xu Lin chatted with him for ten minutes.

Then he clicked into the big shot wellness group. Many people there were @ing Xu Lin, curious about Xu Lin's royalties last month. In fact, many authors across the web fiction world were curious about Xu Lin's royalties because they were unprecedented. No one had reached such heights before, and no one knew how much he would earn.

Xu Lin clicked in and replied: "Eight million-plus, I guess."

"Damn! The master is here!"

"Big boss, how much? Eight million-plus?"

"Whoa? That fierce?"

"Big boss, are you joking?"

Many people were blown away, shocked and incredulous, all continuing to ask Xu Lin.

And Ranzhi chimed in at this point.

Ranzhi said, "It's true, Mr. Xu's royalties were over eight million five hundred thousand last month; it'll definitely break ten million next month!"

This stirred up a huge wave, leaving everyone stunned.

Xu Lin didn't say more as the teacher had called on him during class, so he had to get up and answer.

The website released the news at noon.

Content: Congratulations to our site's writer, Mr. Xu, for breaking eight million in royalties...

Afterward were promotional materials that shook the entire web fiction world. Countless authors were envious, jealous, or exhilarated. Envy and jealousy were normal, and for many, the excitement made them want to achieve the same, so that was normal too.

Moreover, besides the promotion, there was also a new call for submissions with very attractive incentives.

This call for submissions was for a single female lead, older woman and younger man romance theme. There had been a similar call before, but this time the effort and rewards were greater, aiming to attract quality authors. For example, the first prize was two million, very exaggerated.

Xu Lin's current book sparked interest in this theme, and the site was seizing the opportunity to roll out the submission call again.

With promotion and the submission call, a flood of authors would surely be attracted, including many quality ones.

Xu Lin didn't pay attention to this.

After class at noon, carrying two rice dumplings, he went to the cafeteria, where Ning Yuhuan soon appeared.

"Senior, over here!"

Xu Lin waved, and the senior hurried over.

"Where did you buy the dumplings?"

Ning Yuhuan was curious.

"My mom made them; we're having dumplings for lunch."

"Oh oh!"

Ning Yuhuan suddenly understood, sat down, and they both peeled the dumpling leaves, eating in a corner of the cafeteria.

"Is it tasty?"

"Tastes even better than last time!"

"Of course, this time the dumplings are fresher. My mom came to Jiangdu and made them yesterday."

"Ah, Auntie is here?"

"But she left this morning; I'll find a time to introduce you to her."

"Hmm hmm!"

Ning Yuhuan nodded earnestly, wondering if this was meeting the parents. For a moment, Ning Yuhuan felt nervous, wondering if Xu Lin's mom would approve of her, considering Xu Lin's family's good conditions and his mom having a law firm.

"Are you free tonight?"

"I am." Ning Yuhuan nodded.

Xu Lin smiled: "Let's go out tonight and have some fun."

"Where to?" Ning Yuhuan was curious.

Xu Lin then opened the earnings details in the backend and handed the phone to her.

"I'm getting paid in a few days. Uh, tonight we'll have dinner, wander around, and buy some things to celebrate."

"Ah, this much?"

Ning Yuhuan was stunned by the astronomical figure of over eight million in royalties.

Last time, the pre-tax seventy thousand was already outrageous, but this time, over eight million?

"Because it's the top-selling book on the site right now, so this royalty is somewhat normal."

In fact, normal top sales for a month are two to three million, but Xu Lin's case was seriously exceeding the norm.

"Amazing!"

Ning Yuhuan didn't know what to say, partly shocked and scared, and partly happy for Xu Lin.

Xu Lin was outstanding.

Moreover, recently, Xu Lin's song has topped various charts, and many in her class discussed it.

Xu Lin's excellence was something Ning Yuhuan admired.

Xu Lin advised: "Don't bring any books when we go out tonight, just relax."

"Then I won't bring any."

The afternoon classes ended quickly.

After class, Xu Lin left school with Ning Yuhuan.

"Xu Lin, did you run off?"

Rong Xiyi messaged Xu Lin.

Xu Lin: "Yup, see you tomorrow."

Rong Xiyi: "Middle finger.jpg"

Rong Xiyi: "I bought pretty clothes, but forget it if you don't see them."

"What clothes?"

"Not telling, unless you come back."

"Then see you tomorrow!"

"Haha!"

Rong Xiyi thought, My lingerie arrived, and I have thirty pieces. I was going to show them to you tonight, and you could do whatever you wanted, but you're with another girl.

What a bummer!

"Yaoyao, let's go out and have fun, stay at my place tonight!"
