487: 'Three Dark Days': A newcomer trying to climb over me to the top? Not so easy!

"Da Xia Chinese Website, hurry up and drag a few programmers out to sacrifice to the heavens! How could they manage to create a bug like this? It's unbelievable!"

"Fix this bug quickly. It's such a low-level bug; it really lowers people's impression of the site."

"Exactly. So many of us are subscribed to the Great Gods' books, yet the sales figures still can't beat a newcomer's. This is just…"

"Fix it, hurry up and fix it! Damn it, seeing that newcomer standing on top of our Great God for even one second makes me feel so annoyed."

...

The fans of the Great Gods were in an uproar. Everyone had originally thought they would be able to push that newcomer off the sales chart very quickly.

But they hadn't expected that because of a website bug, all their efforts would be in vain. This feeling was incredibly stifling.

The readers were furious, but for the website's editors, their expressions at this moment were different.

Take Editor Xiao Yun, for example; she was currently looking completely stunned.

She naturally knew that the website would never have a bug in such details; it had never happened before either.

Then why, even now, could 'battle through the azure sky' still suppress 'battle heaven boundless dao sovereign' in sales figures?

There was only one answer!

That was that the overall single-day subscription data for 'battle through the azure sky' was currently still at a leading level.

It wasn't because of some bug on the website, as the angry readers and fans had speculated.

"My god! Is the subscription data for 'battle through the azure sky' really that terrifying? It can actually suppress 'battle heaven', which was originally in first place?"

"Although it did release two hundred thousand words of new chapters as soon as it went live."

"But being able to surpass 'battle heaven' in sales means the initial subscription data for this book is also quite terrifying!"

Editor Xiao Yun's expression became increasingly excited.

It was just a pity that due to website rules, even though she was an editor, she couldn't see the author's initial subscription data at this moment.

This data would only refresh in the early hours of the next day.

"If it can hold onto the first place on the sales chart, even if just for one day, it will be very beneficial for the book's performance. I hope it can hold on!"

Editor Xiao Yun thought to herself.

But she also knew this would be a very difficult thing to do, because she knew those Great God authors would absolutely not let it go.

For Great God authors, face was inherently a very important matter.

Now that they were being ridden on top of by a newcomer, these Great God authors must be feeling very stifled.

Otherwise, why would they, who always liked to delay their updates, have started updating early in the morning?

Wasn't it just because they wanted to push the newcomer 'Young Master Xu' off the ranking list as soon as possible?

But now, an unexpected situation had occurred.

Although the Great God authors updated early to attract readers and fans to start their subscriptions for the new day.

They hadn't expected that even so.

They still couldn't push 'battle through the azure sky', this newly released book, off the sales chart.

...

In fact, those Great God authors on Da Xia Chinese Website were also dumbfounded at this moment.

"What the f*ck, what is the background of this 'Young Master Xu'? Is a newcomer really this hard to deal with?"

"Looking at the situation in the comments section, most of my readers have already subscribed, but I didn't expect that new book to still be on the chart!"

"Fortunately, my ranking on the chart is a bit further back. The person most annoyed right now must be 'Moon Black Three Days'."

"Let's see what 'Moon Black Three Days' does next. As someone who has always occupied the first place on the sales chart and wants to fight for the number one spot on the monthly ticket chart this month, he certainly won't admit defeat."

...

Just as the other authors were discussing.

'Moon Black Three Days' had a slightly greenish complexion at this moment.

He had originally thought that as long as he released new chapters and his fans subscribed, he could easily take back the number one spot on the sales chart.

But who knew the result would not be quite what he had imagined.

Now the new chapters had been released, and he had even asked his fans to subscribe quickly.

But on the sales chart, his work, 'battle heaven boundless dao sovereign', was still ranked in second place.

The four characters of 'battle through the azure sky' in first place looked so stinging to his eyes.

"Something's wrong, something is very wrong. A new book shouldn't be able to have such results, unless…"

'Moon Black Three Days' paced back and forth, muttering to himself:

"For a newcomer's new book, no matter how good the hype was before going live, over ten thousand initial subscriptions is already incredible."

"After all, he chose the fantasy channel, which has always been the private territory of the Great Gods."

"So even if this 'Young Master Xu' released 200,000 words upon going live, how many people actually subscribed?"

"Unless, in addition to using the method of explosive updates, he also carried out tipping operations to refresh the sales chart."

Thinking of this, 'Moon Black Three Days' felt he had figured out his opponent's strategy.

This was also the reason why, even though their group of Great Gods had updated their chapters early, they still hadn't managed to push that newcomer off the sales chart.

Because the other party wasn't just relying on subscriptions to climb the chart, but also relying on the special method of tipping.

It was just a pity that Da Xia Chinese Website didn't highly promote the 'tipping chart'.

Therefore, in the website's exposure mechanism, the information on this chart was also severely lagged; often, tips from the previous day would only refresh the next day.

'Moon Black Three Days' felt that it was precisely because of this that he hadn't thought of the 'tipping' method right away.

"If you had discussed it with us nicely, we Great Gods might have given you some face."

"After all, a newcomer with good results might have the opportunity to meet us offline to chat and drink in the future."

"But you started climbing the charts so quietly; aren't you looking down on us veteran Great Gods too much?"

'Moon Black Three Days' snorted coldly and muttered to himself:

"A newcomer wants to step on my head to get famous? It's not that easy!"

"You like tipping, right? As a newcomer, you have to pay for it yourself, but we Great Gods have rich fans."

Very quickly, 'Moon Black Three Days' sent a few messages in a small reader group with only a dozen or so people.

The content of the messages was his speculation about the sales chart being occupied this time.

Then he hoped that the fans who were well-off could help him out a little, so he wouldn't be stepped on by a newcomer.

After 'Moon Black Three Days' sent the message.

There was a response in the reader group very quickly:

"I was just wondering how 'Great Yue Hei''s book got pushed to second place; so there's this kind of inside story."

"Great God, don't worry, I'll go support you with a golden alliance right away, I guarantee I'll knock that newcomer down!"

"Your hand speed is still the fastest, 'Yue Di Na', you beat me to it."

"Alright then, you go ahead and get a golden alliance. If it doesn't work, I, 'Red Mountain Looking for Bear', have a second golden alliance prepared."

"It's rare for 'Great Yue Hei' to ask for help proactively. I hope the other party is a bit formidable."

"Anyway, we have to fight for the monthly ticket chart this month, so warming up a bit in advance is not bad…"

"'Great Yue Hei', you can rest assured about this matter; us brothers will arrange it for you properly."

"No matter how much that kid on the other side spams tips, it's impossible for him to be more formidable than all of us combined."

...

With the verbal support of these rich fans, 'Moon Black Three Days' felt more confident and replied:

"Many thanks to everyone for your great help; 'Moon Black' thanks you all here."

After replying, 'Moon Black Three Days' waited for the real-time refresh of the sales chart while starting to calculate:

"With the support of a one-hundred-thousand-yuan golden alliance from 'Yue Di Na', it should be enough to suppress that kid."

"The golden alliances from others can be used when we pull for monthly tickets at the end of the month…"

"Huh, why has it been so long and there's still no tip from 'Yue Di Na'? Could it be that they were delayed by something?"
