Chapter 4: Eight Extremes Grandmaster
Unknown to Jiang Bai, the webnovel industry of this world was much more developed than his previous world, thanks to the overall higher awareness the populace of this world had toward copyright. Moreover, this book was completely original and unconventional in this world, first of its kind. Thus, the book was able to perform even better than he had expected.
"Congratulations, young man. Your reputation is rising. You have obtained 12 prestige points." The system's voice rang out in Jiang Bai's mind while he was in midst of lamenting about how remarkable Zhu Xian was.
"Twelve prestige points? What have I done to earn them?" Jiang Bai blanked out. He could not understand how had he obtained the 12 prestige points. The only thing he had been doing was sleeping. Even during yesterday when he mustered his courage and left seven gaping wounds on Liu Bin's head, he had only earned five prestige points. And now, he had earned 12 prestige points while sleeping?
"Renown is also a part of prestige. Young man, your pen name is getting popular, with many people taking note of it. Thus, you have obtained prestige points."
"Unfortunately...you haven't been able to earn much as the book was newly published. However, the rate of prestige you can earn using this method is very low. Out of every 100 views, perhaps only one of them will be deeply interested with your book. And this one person would only be able to give you 0.01 prestige points. In short, you can only earn one prestige point per 10,000 views. And with the 120,000 views you have gotten last night, you earned 12 prestige points."
"Congratulations, young man. You have discovered another source of prestige points. You are making progress in your path to become a tyrant.” It did not take the system long to give Jiang Bai an answer. That caused Jiang Bai's excited heart to become even more excited. He was originally worrying over how he should be making more prestige points. But now, it would seem like he had discovered a bright and wide path of progress. Making 12 prestige points in one night? How much would he make by the time the book was finished?
From the initial result, Jiang Bai stood to gather over 100 million views by the time the book ended! In his previous world, Zhu Xian had earned about 30 million views. Here in this world, the views would definitely be higher. If he could gather over 100 million views, he would be able to make over 10,000 prestige points. The mere thought of that made his blood surge in excitement.
"It's really too bad that I only remember a couple of books from my past life, and Zhu Xian is also the comparatively shorter one. Sigh, looks like the path of literature is closed for me. I guess I should look for a proper job. I need to focus on making enough to feed myself for now."
Jiang Bai sighed for a bit before tossing that to the back of his mind. With 17 prestige points in hand, he still needed to deal with his financial problem. But he was in no rush. His first task at hand was to finish his job.
Tap. Tap. Tap. Tap. Once again, Jiang Bai buried himself in his work. Time passed and before he knew it, one month passed. He finished writing the book of 12 million words.
After releasing 20 free chapters, in a miraculous way, Jiang Bai's book was converted into pay to read after 20 days of release. Moreover, he had obtained a generous number of donations and subscriptions. He had also gathered over 9,810,000 views, with 17,000 subscribers at his peak and averaging at about 10,000 subscribers. This result made Jiang Bai a considerable amount of money.
On the first day the book was converted into the pay to read system, Jiang Bai had released 100,000 words at one go, creating quite a sensation on the internet. Zhu Xian took the internet by storm. It almost seemed like everyone was reading the book. Discussions on Qingyun Sect, Zhang Xiaofan, and so on popped up everywhere on the internet.
The popularity had earned Jiang Bai a good sum of money, and coupled with the donations by the various readers, he found with shock that after deducting the hosting website's cut, he had still made about RMB 3,800,000. Unfortunately, half the book had been released by now, signifying that the book was ending soon. Even so, he was still so excited he nearly leaped up in joy.
"Over 3.8 million...a month ago, I was still worrying over food. Now, with this money, I have nothing to fear anymore! I will be able to add as many hams as I wished when eating instant noodles! Wait, no, I won't even have to eat instant noodles anymore!"
"Now that I'm rich, what should I do?" After calming down from his initial excitement, Jiang Bai started wondering how he should be spending the money. He was able to get Second Fatty to make an exception for him and transfer part of the money to him today. As for the remaining balance, he would receive them at 10th the next month. With money in hand, his new issue was what to spend the money on. Should he buy a new house first?
Jiang Bai soon gave up on that idea. In Tiandu, even after spending RMB 3.8 million, he would only be able to afford a two bedroom apartment. He was no idiot. He would rather spend the money on himself than on a house. With money, his first focus was to reward himself with a good meal. He would think about the other stuff in the future.
Reaching this conclusion, Jiang Bai stood up and left his room. Since he had just finished writing, he had some free time so he decided to spend a few days relaxing and think about the future when the future came.
"Ding! Congratulations, young man. Your initial stage of acting tough is a great success. Not only have you earned a lot of money, you have even earned some prestige. You have successfully accumulated a total of 1,000 prestige points, earning yourself one free mid-tier lucky draw attempt. You will get your next free lucky draw attempt when you accumulated 10,000 prestige points. You may also spend 1,000 prestige points for one low-tier lucky draw, or 10,000 prestige points for one mid-tier lucky draw." "
The system's voice rang out right after Jiang Bai was done cleaning up and changing. He was on his way out the house, but he stopped upon hearing that.
Next, the slot machine appeared before Jiang Bai again. As usual, there were nine slots, but unfortunately, no description was given for any of the rewards this time. A large question mark was on each of the slots, and there were no black slots this time around.
There were three white slots, three blue slots, and three purple slots. Evidently, the quality of this lucky draw was higher than his previous lucky draw. The only downside was that Jiang Bai could no longer see the reward pool. Since he could not see the reward pool, there was nothing for him to think about. With his eyes shut, he started the slot machine.
The slots started moving rapidly and after a short while, the arrow stopped on a purple slot.
"Congratulations, young man. You have obtained a purple reward, Grandmaster Tier proficiency in Eight Extremes Fist."
The next moment, Jiang Bai's body started shaking as a gush of energy appeared in the air around him before rushing into his body. His entire body was enveloped by a warm and comfortable feeling, as if he had returned to his mother's womb.
After an unknown period of time, Jiang Bai woke up. The sun on the sky was already replaced by the moon. He stretched and discovered that his entire body was stinking badly, and he also had a layer of black sticky substance on his skin. The realization put in him great discomfort.
At the same time, Jiang Bai’s mind was flooded with the various stances of the Eight Extremes Fist, and he knew all of them so well it was as if he had practiced them for several decades. When he casually punched at the air, a whooshing sound could actually be heard as his fist streaked across the air.
Jiang Bai felt incredibly good, his entire body seemingly filled with power, as if he could kill a cow with one punch. In fact, as a genuine Eight Extremes Fist Grandmaster, it was actually possible to kill a cow with one punch. Of course, the current Jiang Bai was unaware of that.
Supreme Ultimate, the stabilizer of civilizations, and Eight Extremes, the force charting the world's course. There was a reason for that saying to exist. And from that saying, it was obvious how powerful the Eight Extremes Fist was.
After a shower, Jiang Bai changed into a new set of clothing in satisfaction. While enduring his raging hunger, he left the house, preparing to get something to eat. Right after he stepped out his house, he saw a woman dressed in a pink skintight dress with a seductive figure.
She was around 20 years old, and was incredibly beautiful. She had tiny puffy lips, a pair of amorous eyes, high nose bridge, and fair tender skin. In Jiang Bai's previous and current life, this woman was definitely among the most beautiful woman he had ever seen, even after including all the celebrities he had seen in the TV before.
Jiang Bai wasn't exactly a pervert, but when he laid his eyes on the woman before him, he could no longer shift his gaze away. The woman was currently drunk. Leaning on the wall, she glanced at Jiang Bai. A mocking smile surfaced on her face as she said, "What are you looking at? Have you never seen a drunken woman before?"
