Writing Web Novels In America-Chapter 52 New Yorker
Chapter 52: Chapter 52 New Yorker
The same night, Wang Jian exploded the website by updating "Arcane Throne" with fifty Chapters, totaling an insane amount of over 100,000 words.
Truth be told, this wasn’t the highest number on the site. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
After all, many authors had uploaded complete manuscripts that were rejected by publishers.
But considering Wang Jian had published "I’m a Great Mage" and the first volume of "Arcane Throne" within two months, he already counted as a well-known bestselling author.
And those bestselling authors who worked on an outline for a year, wrote the main body for three years, trimmed and revised for another year, finally cobbling together hundreds of thousands of words—who had seen anything like this?
That night, not only was George Martin greatly affected, but even other bestselling authors who paid attention to the website felt their worldviews shattering crisply.
In the midst of their astonishment, the plot of "Arcane Throne" officially unfolded.
The "Periodic Table of Chemical Elements" shocked the Otherworld Great Magicians with their tremendous power and noble status.
The protagonist, by deciphering "Special Relativity," was starting to gain the power reminiscent of a humanoid nuclear bomb.
Comments such as "God’s poop, this is too damn fun," "The combination of magic and science, awesome!" flooded the comment section.
Fantasy novel enthusiasts who had always regarded "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Hobbit" as classics experienced for the first time the intriguing charm when reality reflects into fantasy.
This left them unable to stop, sighing, "The author has removed his crown chakra, the imagination is just infinite!"
While frantically making payments and reading...
After finishing the current Chapters, these readers, who refreshed the webpage all night long, felt an inexplicable surge of excitement.
They began to discuss the storyline frantically in every communicable place, speculating what the protagonist would do next.
Wang Jian, who also hadn’t slept all night, could only be dragged by Tom and Rossi to see the selected office location.
"If I keep this up, I’m going to work myself to death one of these days," Wang Jian sighed as he walked into the chosen office building.
Located in Queens County near Flushing, New York,
the area is surrounded by Queens College, Kennedy Catholic High School, and others.
Of course, such a high-end place certainly wouldn’t come cheap.
So, Wang Jian and team were planning to rent the top floor of the office building, the 8th floor.
Because there was no elevator, the rent was half the price of other floors.
Wang Jian watched Dorsey and several computer science students following him, gasping for breath.
Thinking for a moment, he said, "You guys lack exercise. The company is setting up here so that in the future, climbing up and down to work will strengthen your physical fitness."
Dorsey and others, looking at Wang Jian’s sincere face, were so moved that their mouths twitched all the way to the back of their heads.
The 8th floor was about 300 square meters in area, enough for office desks, computers, and so on.
But Dorsey then questioned, "Where do we put our servers?"
Wang Jian glanced at him and asked, "Can we afford to buy servers?"
Mr. Dorsey paused and then helplessly shook his head.
"For now, let’s rent Cisco’s servers," Wang Jian said as he walked to the center of the room. "The company will tentatively set up three departments."
"Dorsey, you’re in charge of the computer network department, mainly providing technical support, and you can hire four employees."
"Tom, you handle copyright promotion, and for now, you’re on your own."
"I’m responsible for the website’s content, and we also need to hire a few editors."
"That’s the framework of the company for now."
"As for the procurement of office supplies, could you two discuss and manage that?"
Tom and Dorsey looked at each other and then nodded.
After Wang Jian handed them a check for 100,000 US Dollars, with a reminder to keep shopping receipts, he planned to leave and return to his apartment.
But when he was hailing a taxi outside and was pushed by someone behind him who tried to steal his ride,
he again felt the atmosphere of the Financial District, different from Brooklyn and the Bronx District.
Wang Jian, relying on his robust physique and relatively agile limbs, pulled the middle-aged man off the taxi.
The taxi driver praised, "You can tell, you’re a qualified New Yorker."
Wang Jian scratched his head and responded with a smile, "It’s all thanks to the good influence around here."
About fifteen minutes later, he returned to his apartment.
First, he had a casual bite to eat, then he prepared to get a good night’s sleep.
Just as Wang Jian had just lain down in his bed,
the doorbell rang again.
Who,
who the hell is it?
Grinding his teeth, Wang Jian got out of bed and walked towards the door.
When the door opened, golden hair came into Wang Jian’s view.
Was this woman, dressed in something similar to a school uniform and sporting twin braids to look younger, Lily?
Wang Jian rubbed his eyes, hardly daring to believe it.
But Lily had already walked through the door, saying to him, "I’ve just finished the enrollment procedures for Gene."
"Thank you, thank you for everything you’ve done for me."
As the words fell, Lily lifted her head to look at Wang Jian.
She saw him staring straight at her.
A little shy but also somewhat proud, she leaned down and tugged at her over-the-knee cotton socks.
Wang Jian swallowed hard, stammering, "You don’t... don’t need to thank me."
"I heard from Lynn that you’re now not only a bestselling author but have also set up a website," Lily said, looking down. "I don’t have many skills to help you."
"So, I thought I’d see if I could help you with some household chores."
Wang Jian looked over the apartment, now trashed beyond recognition by three guys, and couldn’t help saying, "That would be fantastic."
Then he added a caution, "Don’t touch the computer."
After that, he turned and left.
Lily watched Wang Jian yawn and walk back to the bedroom, closing the door behind him.
Suddenly, a string of question marks popped into her head.
Does he really take me for a nanny?
She sat on the sofa, pondering for a moment.
Finally, clenching her teeth, she muttered to herself, "It’s not the first time, why be coy?"
Then, she took out a breath freshener, spritzed a little, and also walked into the bedroom.
A moment later.
A sound emanated from the bedroom.
"If love is true and everlasting, then why worry if the days go by slowly?
"On the day my success and fame arrive, I’ll commemorate your integrity."
...
Who knows if all women have a tendency to idolize men of higher status than themselves?
At any rate, Wang Jian felt that Lily’s behavior this time was different from before.
When Lily got up and really began to tidy the house,
Wang Jian pondered the nature of their relationship and fell into a deep sleep.
At this moment, in Silicon Valley, inside the company zip2, a rather handsome man logged into a recently popular website and started reading the second volume of "Arcane Throne."
Shortly afterwards, the young man reached the paid Chapter.
"Eh," he muttered to himself, "I have to use my Visa card? What a hassle."
"Is there an easier way to make a payment?"
A moment later, his eyes lit up as he logged into ebay and amazon, both recently drawing attention from major venture capital firms.
"None of them have a simple payment method," he pondered. "This, this is absolutely fantastic!"
