Chapter 548: Wang Situ's Counterattack
On the other side, Wang Ming put down the monitoring headphones in his hand with a confused look on his face... repeatedly confirming that he should have heard correctly just now.
Wang Situ...
Isn't this my uncle's pen name?
The head of state is actually my uncle's fan?
This fact is so shocking that Wang Ming couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. He felt that his mind was already in a mess.
……
……
At this moment, there are only 5 hours left before the end of the double monthly vote war.
Lie Mengmeng used her mobile phone to check the rankings. The first place, Braised Pork Knuckle, has received 1.6 million votes, and the second place author, Braised Pig's Trotter, has received 1.58 million votes. The two sides are biting each other very hard and neither of them is willing to give in.
After the single chapter that just didn't hurt, Wang's father's monthly votes have just reached 800,000... Although it has increased by nearly 400,000, the gap with the first and second place is getting bigger and bigger.
However, Wang's father didn't seem to be in a hurry at all. He was calmly smoking a cigar and watching the TV series. He didn't even bother to watch the live TV vote count.
In fact, Lie Mengmeng has her own understanding of the competition for the monthly ticket list.
In the early stage of the monthly ticket list, it was a fight between authors. The number and quality of the author's updates often determined whether readers would vote enthusiastically; and in the middle and late stages, it basically had little to do with the author, and the rest was a fight between local tyrant readers...
"I just asked the editor-in-chief's office and confirmed that the two teachers, Red Braised Elbow and Braised Pig's Trotter, were not swiping votes. They each have a heaven-level sect behind them to support them..." In fact, when she said this, Lie Mengmeng already had a feeling of despair in her heart.
What is the concept of a heaven-level sect? Now a Ming faction heaven-level sect has a net profit of hundreds of millions a year. It is not strange to vote for the author you like and allocate part of the funds to issue monthly ticket red envelopes.
Before, Lie Mengmeng thought that there was a problem with the number of votes for these two authors, because she was simply unaware of the situation, because after all, at six o'clock, the two of them had nearly one million monthly tickets. Now, to issue monthly ticket red envelopes, one monthly ticket requires 5 fairy golds, and such a large number of monthly tickets is definitely not something that ordinary people can afford.
"Oh, a Heaven-level sect, quite impressive!"
When Wang's father heard what Lie Mengmeng said, he couldn't help but smile.
Lie Mengmeng almost vomited blood after hearing this. This is not just a little impressive... it's quite impressive!
How many Heaven-level sects are certified by the domestic government now? No more than fifty... Being able to attract a Heaven-level sect as a backer is equivalent to attracting a financial group to support behind the scenes.
"Brother, don't you have any big guys like Heaven-level sects in your fan group? No Heaven-level... Earth-level is fine..." Lie Mengmeng couldn't help asking.
After all, judging from the current fan base, Wang's father's total number of fans must be more than the other two authors, and it is impossible that he doesn't have big-level fans.
"Oh, you are talking about this. Someone did come to me before. He said he was from the Spirit Sword Sect." Wang's father said.
"Spirit Sword Sect?" Lie Mengmeng was surprised: "This... This is a heavenly sect! Brother! And the heavenly sect that supports the braised pork elbow is the Spirit Sword Sect!"
"Oh, I know!" Wang's father said: "But they asked to put sect advertisements in my book, and I refused."
Lie Mengmeng: "Why... Why did you refuse..."
Wang's father habitually pushed his black-framed glasses: "Real fans won't make so many requests."
Lie Mengmeng: "..."
Wang's father looked at Lie Mengmeng's nervous expression and couldn't help laughing: "Why do I feel that you are more nervous than me?"
"The gap in this monthly ticket battle is too big... If we lose, I guess some fans will leave and go to others." Lie Mengmeng sighed, hesitant to speak.
In fact, what he said was a conservative estimate. After all, Wang's father is a veteran god on the website and has dominated the list for many years. If someone surpasses "God Slaughter" in this battle, it will definitely be used as news hype.
In addition, the other two authors now have the support of the Heaven-level Sect behind them. If this wave of momentum rises, Lie Mengmeng feels that Wang's father will have a hard time in the future... Because Wang's father refused the advertising placement of the Heaven-level Sect. If the person behind the Heaven-level Sect is a chicken-hearted person, he might suppress Wang's father.
However, Wang's father still has a calm expression that Lie Mengmeng can't understand.
Wang's father: "Hehe, don't be nervous, just wait and see."
The foundation of the Heaven-level Sect is indeed very strong...
But the problem is that the "Heaven-level Sect" of these two authors are all left over from their own consumption!
Compete with him for the top spot?
...
...
This monthly ticket war that started around the double monthly ticket event has attracted unexpectedly much attention.
After Wang Ling finished his homework, he scanned the list and found that Wang's father was in the third place. He immediately opened some forums and news software. Sure enough, this monthly ticket battle had been made into a news report...
[News title]: "The Fall of God? Wang Situ, the veteran god of Xiuxian Chinese website, fell behind by a huge gap in the monthly ticket battle for the first time!"
There are many similar news reports, which dominated the screens of major news channels and hot search terms in just a short moment.
When Lie Mengmeng and Wang's father were talking downstairs, Wang Ling actually heard something about the "Heaven-level Sect" backing the two authors who were competing for votes.
Wang Ling estimated that these news might be the result of this Heaven-level Sect behind the scenes...
In fact, in previous years, there were many cases of cooperation between sects and popular authors. Popular authors placed advertisements in books for sects, and sects responded by competing for monthly tickets or rewards to support the authors and provide support behind the scenes.
This is due to the current market situation. There are many immortal cultivation novels on the Internet, and popular authors often construct their own novel worldviews based on modern cultivation. Therefore, sect leaders have long been eyeing this advertising business, and some sects even find some novel authors to specially customize a "immortal cultivation novel" with their own sect as the background for their own sect.
However, originally, it was mostly the earth-level sects that looked for authors to cooperate, because the earth-level sects lacked students.
But I don't know when it started, the heaven-level sects also joined in the fun...
The class group was talking about it. In fact, there were many people in the class who were fans of Wang's father, but after all, they were all students. Five immortal golds for a monthly ticket, where did the students get the money? Wang Ling felt that as a student, it was good enough to be able to subscribe to the genuine version! Saying that you have no money to read pirated copies under the name of a student party is never an excuse.
Diulei Zhenjun has been following Wang's father's books!
So after seeing the news, Diulei Zhenjun immediately began to support him in the group: "Everyone! Senior Wang's book "The Live Broadcast Life of the Immortal King" is now ranked third in the monthly vote list! Can you please mobilize the power around you to help Senior Wang canvass for votes?"
The Dharma King was the first to respond and immediately sent an OK gesture; "No problem! I will vote for Senior Wang now!"
Cai Lian Zhenren sent a fist gesture; "I don't read this kind of novel very much, but I still support Senior Wang. I will contribute 100 monthly votes."
Dongye Immortal: "But Zhenjun, our power alone is not enough. The gap is a bit big."
Diulei Zhenjun nodded: "Everyone vote first, I have already posted an event in my cultivation forum, and I am crazy about calling for Senior Wang! Whatever you say, you have to support Senior Wang!"
As he was speaking, Diulei Zhenjun directly sent out the event link.
Wang Ling clicked on the link and saw four large characters on the event homepage: The Battle of Marineford...
