Chapter 10: A large number of readers flocked to it.
After she pressed the tip button, Grandma Liu saw a fan icon appear.
"A round fan?" She hurriedly rummaged through her box and found that a round fan was indeed missing.
The system was also calling out to Lin Liuyi, "Host, there's a new reader who has given a reward!"
Lin Liuyi hurriedly opened the back office, "Where? Where? It's not there, it's still the same amount of money, are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"
"No, host. The reward is still with me. It's a bit special; it's not an energy item and it's indivisible." The system seemed a little conflicted.
"What is it?" Lin Liuyi asked curiously after hearing the system's question.
"It's a fan. Host, there are two options. The first is that the entire fan belongs to me, but I'll lose energy when I exchange it for energy, and we'll split the profits after deducting the loss. The second is that the fan belongs to you, and after you sell it, we'll split the profits according to the selling price. Which one do you choose?"
There was no need to even think about it; Lin Liuyi would never allow anything that belonged to him to be lost. "I choose the fan to be mine!"
"Okay, I'll send the fan over now."
"Wait a minute! Are you sure this fan can be sold?" Lin Liuyi suddenly thought of this question.
"Not sure, but the fan has arrived."
Lin Liuyi saw a fan icon appear on her tipping page. She clicked on it with her mouse, and a beautiful fan appeared directly on her computer keyboard.
At that moment, she realized that the system really did look like a system.
She reached out and picked up the round fan, which was embroidered with a cluster of delicate orchids, their posture elegant, with the stamens faintly visible among them, and two fluttering butterflies.
Even Lin Liuyi, who was unfamiliar with embroidery, thought that this round fan was exceptionally well-embroidered.
"What a windfall! Could this be a tip from an embroiderer?" Lin Liuyi held the fan, twirling it around with obvious delight.
"I don't know, but she seems to have left you a comment."
Upon seeing this, Lin Liuyi immediately checked the comment left by the other party. "They actually asked me what sweet potato is?"
"Sweet potato? I've only ever heard of sweet potato. Is she mistaken?" Lin Liu had her doubts, but she still answered Old Lady Liu.
Grandma Liu was even more disappointed upon hearing Lin Liuyi's answer. If even the owner of such a magical storybook didn't know what sweet potatoes were, then was this thing really poisonous and completely useless?
Lin Liu thought about it for a long time, and realized that she had never heard of "sweet potato".
"Get rich? Have you ever heard of such a thing?"
"No, host."
"Sweet potatoes, the sweet potatoes in the field, could they be potatoes?" Lin Liuyi had a flash of inspiration and thought it was very likely.
She quickly copied and pasted the description of potatoes, along with their cultivation and consumption methods, into the comments, hoping it would be of some help to this seemingly ancient reader.
Old Mrs. Liu was already in despair. She had thought she had encountered a miraculous opportunity that would be a chance for the Liu family to rise again.
Unexpectedly, this is the final result.
She was just about to go out and ask her son to throw away the sweet potatoes, since they were poisonous, when she heard another reply comment.
After she clicked on it, she heard a woman's voice rambling on about something she didn't understand. She only perked up at the last two sentences.
"Hello reader, I have never heard of sweet potatoes, but we have something called potatoes here. I have already told you about it, and you can refer to it yourself."
Grandma Liu listened carefully again, and the more she listened, the brighter her eyes became. That's right, this sweet potato is a potato, only it has sprouted.
After figuring it out, she quickly called her youngest son to plant the sprouted sweet potato.
After Lin Liuyi replied, she didn't pay any more attention to it; her mind was now completely occupied with the round fan.
What Lin Liuyi didn't expect was that her book suddenly attracted a large number of readers.
The reason is that her book suddenly entered the monthly dark horse list due to a large amount of donations, and the Shizi website directly posted an article titled "Shocking! A newbie actually received a large amount of donations and entered the monthly dark horse list!"
The eye-catching title instantly attracted a large number of passersby, and countless authors and readers began to flock to Lin Liuyi's novel.
"Come and check out this new book that suddenly burst onto the dark horse list." A passerby remarked.
"I heard this author receives over 20 yuan in tips a month!" Some were surprised.
"With so many tips, I'm going to see what kind of book this is!" There were also those who didn't believe it.
"I envy the big shot, he can receive so many tips!" There were even more envious comments.
"Could they have hired someone to boost the numbers?" Some even felt a pang of jealousy and resentment.
Regardless of who they were, Lin Liuyi's book suddenly became a hit, with readership skyrocketing.
So much so that when she opened the backend, she was first stunned by the bright red notification.
"What's wrong with my book?" She quickly opened the message.
I discovered that not only did she receive congratulatory messages on the platform, but countless new comments were also posted.
"It seems that your book has entered the website's dark horse list, attracting a large number of readers!" The system quickly understood the ins and outs of the matter.
"Because of the tips?" Lin Liuyi knew his own level; he had written so much and still failed. The only reason he could enter the dark horse list was because he had received too many tips this time.
"Yes! Binding to the system is worthwhile, isn't it, host!" The system made no attempt to hide its smugness.
"What a bargain!" Lin Liuyi was very grateful for the little system, but he couldn't stand the other party's smug look.
She quickly checked the messages and new comments on the site. As always, the site congratulated her on entering the dark horse list and encouraged her to keep up the good work.
Readers' comments were varied. Some thought her writing was pretty good, while others thought it was just average, and some even gave negative reviews, saying that what she wrote was rubbish.
Lin Liuyi read through them all, her curiosity piqued as to which wealthy woman had tipped her.
"Get rich, the readers on the site can't see the comments you distributed, right?" Lin Liuyi pondered the reader comments for a moment and discovered something different.
"Of course, host. Those are people from other worlds, displayed by the system using energy, and only you can see them. However, your comments are visible to everyone."
Hearing the system's explanation, Lin Liuyi thought it was quite good. She was worried that it would be difficult to explain if others saw it.
Looking at all the comments in the backend, Lin Liuyi could imagine how good the reading data would be tomorrow, and it seemed that tomorrow's royalties would be something to look forward to again.
