  It's just another kilometer of road, but after several days of exercise, this section of road is much easier for Li Minghui. At least he won't be panting and needing a long rest like before.

  Looking around the cramped and slightly crowded basement, Li Minghui let out a faint sigh. Previously, he had no choice but to stay in this small underground room, but now that the popularity of his novel was on fire, he couldn't bear to stay here for even one more day. However, the manuscript fee wouldn't be paid until it was published, and Li Minghui's current funds were limited, so he couldn't afford to splurge. The rent in the Imperial City was too expensive; even renting a small room would cost at least 3,000 gold coins per month, not to mention the deposit and other expenses. Without at least 20,000 yuan on hand, it was impossible to consider moving out.

  "Endure for another month at most, once the payment comes, I'll leave this place!"

  Li Minghui secretly encouraged himself, who would have thought that the author of "Zhuxian", which is now extremely popular and rapidly rising in popularity, still lives in a small underground room typing away, no one could have imagined.

  Actually, if Li Minghui were to speak out, then whether it's the wealthy landowner searching for book lovers everywhere or the lonely sweet potato, they could all support Li Minghui. However, he is not someone who likes to owe others favors. Although those two are willing to do so, Li Minghui is unwilling. He doesn't like owing people favors and also doesn't like using the name of books to borrow money from readers who truly love "Killing Immortals".

  "It's just a month, it's been over a year and I've made it through, so sweet. Can't I hold on now?"

  Thinking so in his heart, Li Minghui's mentality has recovered to an optimistic state. Immediately, he started cooking. As the saying goes, "people regard food as their heaven", filling his stomach is now Li Minghui's most urgent need.

  Fortunately, Li Minghui was already familiar with cooking. In less than an hour, a large bowl of fragrant stir-fried noodles was ready. He quickly finished the noodles and after washing the pot and dishes, it was already time to start work.

  At this time, after such a long period of mental preparation, he had already recovered and didn't hesitate at all. He lit a cigarette, opened his computer, but instead of going online or logging into TT, he opened a Word document. With a burst of energy, Li Minghui started creating, taking a deep breath before beginning to write.

  An IQ of 134 is enough to support the creation of software, and after 134 minutes, such a long time, plus Li Minghui's typing speed, it's now a different story. Thus, more than two hours later, an article of nearly 8,000 words was freshly baked.

  After being satisfied with it for a while, feeling that the writing style and other aspects had improved again, Li Minghui corrected the typos and saved the Word document, entering the singularity.

  Familiar with the road, the first to log in to the author's background, refreshed the page, clicked on book management, and suddenly found that at this time, the "Xian" had been collected for more than 140,000 times, approaching the 150,000 mark.

  After clicking on "Slayer of Gods", enter the Slayer of Gods page, and new data has been released.

  Total clicks: 3,876,897

  Member weekly clicks: 348,796

  Total recommendations: 213,987

  Total words: 226,879

  At this point, more than half a month's time, the Immortal Slaying has already updated 2.2 million words, close to 2.3 million, which is an extremely powerful update speed. And at this time, the plot of the Immortal Slaying has also officially entered its prime, which can be seen from various data. The current Immortal Slaying's daily new collections have approached 10,000, and the recommended votes are close to 30,000, with clicks and other metrics increasing rapidly.

  Of course, this is also related to the three generals' big push. As a four-star recommendation, the three generals' big push is much more powerful than the usual three generals' recommendation, almost comparable to the strong recommendation. You know that the strong recommendation is the king of public chapter recommendations, and the three generals' big push can be compared with it, which shows its influence.

  It's no wonder that this powerful recommendation can be obtained. On the one hand, it is Qidian's care and attention to detail, which indeed makes "Zhu Xian" a popular book. On the other hand, it is also Li Minghui's powerful effort, with the excellent plot of "Zhu Xian" combined with Li Minghui's rapid updates, although he is a newcomer, this recommendation is not surprising at all.

  This has made the data of "Xian Xia" even more brilliant. The weekly click ranking list is naturally stable at number one, while the weekly recommended list is quite impressive. Since the "Tu Hao Piao Hong Tu Ban" version was released, the recommended votes for "Xian Xia" have already surpassed those of "Hong Guo Da Shen", opening up a gap that continues to expand.

  Of course, this is also related to the Hongguo Dashen. The recent updates are not very powerful, and frequent requests for additions naturally lead to a continuous loss of face. Although the deity's reputation has not been affected in the slightest, the recommended votes unrelated to income have started to decline.

  In such a situation, it was possible for Xian to complete the two ultimate lists!

  Opening the book review section, Li Minghui found something was off. At this time, he seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly logged in to TT.

  As soon as he went online, TT immediately made a crazy response, opening each one and quickly browsing through them before Li Minghui knew that the question he wanted to ask had indeed appeared.

  "Slander!"

  Yes, it's a smear. As mentioned earlier, most online writers are otaku who don't have many tricks up their sleeves, but they genuinely enjoy writing and reading web novels. However, there is another group that values the increasing profits of web novels and has entered this line of work, giving rise to a type of professional troll known as "web novel water army".

  These people wander among various books, belittling other books one by one. The low-level ones are fine, but the high-level ones are detestable. Their language can infinitely magnify a book's shortcomings, and on the surface, it seems to be that way.

  Online reviews are like fast-paced books. Some readers, if they read these negative comments, can't help but be influenced and naturally have some reservations in their mind, so they might give up on this book and move on to the next one.

  It's now clear that "Zhu Xian" has caught the attention of online trolls, who have begun to comment recklessly. However, Zhu Xian is just one person and needs to face a large army of trolls. For a time, it was impossible to completely delete the comments, which led to the situation Li Minghui saw earlier - the book review section had been occupied by trolls.

  Entering book reviews, what catches the eye is unscrupulous blackening comments that mislead readers!
