"Damn, even when Chengfeng failed, he still made millions a year!"

"I'm shutting myself off!"

"But now Chengfeng is earning two million a month!"

"Xu Ju, are you still accepting apprentices?"

"Same question, are you still accepting apprentices? I really want to improve!"

After that, it was just a whirlwind of improvement.

Xu Lin interrupted, "No more apprentices."

"Crying!"

"Lord Xu, how am I supposed to live without you?"

"Boss, curious, now that it's finished, what was your average subscription score?"

"A long time ago, it was already over a million average subscriptions, now it must be at least 1.5 million, right?"

"I'm also curious about what Lord Xu's manuscript fee was last month."

"Also curious, it must have broken ten million, right?"

Speaking of which, Xu Lin hadn't checked his subscription score for a while, same with the manuscript fee.

On the sixth day, he refreshed the manuscript fee, but Xu Lin didn't pay much attention. It was only because someone reminded him that he remembered his latest manuscript fee, which he hadn't checked yet.

Actually, at that time, Ranzhi also sent a message to notify him to check the manuscript fee, as there was a surprise, but Xu Lin's QQ was set to block background notifications, so if he didn't log in, he wouldn't know the exact notification.

These past few days, Xu Lin wasn't paying attention to anything.

First of all, what was the average subscription score?

Xu Lin opened the author's backend and took a look.

Latest average subscription: 1,805,689!

One million eight hundred thousand!

And the manuscript fee?

Xu Lin also took a glance.

Manuscript fee: 14,458,694.36 yuan!

At the moment he saw the manuscript fee,

Xu Lin posted screenshots of two chapters in the group chat.

Generally speaking, in the web novel circle, you can't randomly post such screenshots, or you'll be reported by jealous peers, and a minor issue could get your book taken down, but there's a type of author who doesn't care, and that's the big shots, the ones whose books are hot. Report all you want, the website will back them up.

After Xu Lin posted it, the entire big shot group was in an uproar.

More than 1.4 million before tax, that's the annual income for many Platinum big shots, and it's the ceiling in this industry. But Xu Lin made that much in a month, 6 million more than last month.

Seeing the uproar in the group, Xu Lin said, "Calm down, it was just high last month, it might be high this month too, but now that it's finished, the serialization is over, the manuscript fee will definitely drop later."

"Calm down? Can I calm down? Boss reached financial freedom in just two or three months!"

"That's very advanced financial freedom. Like me, in a third or fourth-tier small city, and being a homebody, two to three thousand a month is enough. Xu Ju, that 8 million from before was already enough for my financial freedom!"

"But for the boss, it probably doesn't mean much, right? The boss is already mingling in the entertainment industry now."

"I'm curious, how much has the boss earned from songwriting now?"

Again, several people asked Xu Lin how much he had made from songwriting.

Xu Lin replied with five words, "Over six million, I guess."

After sending that, Xu Lin exited and returned to Ranzhi to chat about other things.

In the group, when they saw Xu Lin said he earned over six million from songwriting, these capable authors and even the big shot Platinums were all shutting themselves off, knowing that Xu Lin was simply not in the same world as them.

However, Xu Lin didn't pay any more attention to their messages.

With Ranzhi, as the novel concluded, although it was only the morning, the latest notification was that other rights for Xu Lin's novel would also be released. This was the website announcing it so that licensing companies could take over.

This time, it was the comics and publishing rights.

But these were all trivial and didn't bring much money, so Xu Lin directly let the website talk to the licensing companies, and he didn't go this time.

But according to Ranzhi, since this novel was very popular, the comic and publishing rights could be negotiated with very good licensing companies. For example, on the publishing side, it could be published by a very dominant publisher domestically, and relatively, the licensing price would be higher, as small publishers wouldn't have the money to buy major rights.

"By the way, Mr. Xu, the Twelve Kings list is coming out in a few days, just letting you know."

Ranzhi sent another message.

"Ok."

"Mr. Xu, do you have a headshot or a half-length photo? Send one over! Grinning.jpg"

For the Twelve Kings, a headshot is required.

Xu Lin had no intention of showing his face. He was different from web novel authors. Web novel authors could show their faces, but their readers weren't too concerned with what the authors looked like. Even as a big shot, no one would recognize them outside, and none of the web novel authors were particularly handsome.

But Xu Lin was different. Going forward, he was aiming for the entertainment industry.

So Xu Lin wasn't going to show his face, otherwise, it might affect his real life later, or even disturb the peace of those around him.

Xu Lin replied, "I'd rather not, I don't want to show my face for now."

Ranzhi: "Mr. Xu, you're so handsome, it's a pity not to show your face. You're better looking than those male celebrities in the entertainment industry!"

Xu Lin: "That won't do. I'm hitting the hot searches quite often now. If people know what I look like, it'd be trouble!"

Xu Lin sent over a picture of Ultraman Gaia.

"Let this one do!"

Among the numerous Ultramen, Dina has the most fans, especially in China, where most people love Dina the most. But Xu Lin preferred Gaia. As a child, he watched Gaia descend from the sky, shattering the earth, and thought it was incredibly cool. From then on, Gaia was like his Ultraman White Moonlight.

Ranzhi: "Ultraman is fine! Grinning.jpg Sunglasses.jpg"

The novel part came to a close.

At five in the afternoon, Xu Lin drove out to meet Rong Xiyi and the other two.

The two girls had gone out since noon, shopped for two hours, then went into the cinema to watch a movie, and afterward came out to buy milk tea and continued shopping.
