Before the article officially went on sale, Xu Yuan waked around the neighborhood for laps on purpose.
The environment of the neighborhood was relatively bad. To make it worse, the only three trees in it had been spoiled by the naughty children nearby. Now all their leaves were gone. The flower bed that was supposed to be planted with shrubs was now planted with a few half-dead green onions instead, with puppies that were not chained fertilizing them.
Be that as it may, there were grandpas and grandmas that could be seen everywhere in the neighborhood gathering together to enjoy the cool weather. They played cards and made small talks among themselves. Some of them could be seen waving their bamboo-woven fan. All these adding up, the summer vibe was already there.
Xu Yuan deliberately came at the time when the residents would come out to take a walk after dinner.
He had spent a few days in a row typing words at home. It was as though he was in jail. He knew that he would go crazy if he did not get some fresh air outside.
Among the crowd, Xu Yuan easily spotted Aunt Feng. Usually, if he saw Aunt Feng talking to people with high spirits, he would act cautious and stay away from her. The last thing he wanted to do was meet her.
To him, Aunt Feng had a special ability. She could comment on any breathing creature that walked past her. It would be a waste of her talent if the neighborhood committee did not invite her to check on everyone’s information.
However, today, for the first time ever, he sat down not far from her in order to hear some casual conversations from her.
“Well, did you hear about that kid from the Xu family? The kiddo from Unit 3. He was signed by an impressive writing company. He is going to be a great writer!”
Xu Yuan listened attentively. He did not expect that he would be the subject of her speech. There was but one Xu family in the entire neighborhood.
“That’s amazing. I saw his mother buying fish and meat every day. I think she was trying to provide him with more nutrition.” Another aunt added.
“That’s right. Another writer is rising to prominence. It’s reasonable to feed him better, or else there’s not much higher he can rise.”
“Hahaha, that’s right. These two days, his mother has been in a quite good mood. I wonder what kind of masterpiece her son has created at home!”
Xu Yuan laughed coldly. These aunties had a magical charm with their words. It was just that their words were half-happy and half-ironic. No one could tell if they were envious or jealous.
When he sensed that the aunties were shifting their subject to his mother, Xu Yuan coughed lightly in an attempt to interrupt them.
They did not notice when Xu Yuan arrived behind them. They did not know how long Xu Yuan had been listening to them either. The aunties all had awkward expressions on their faces. Only Aunt Feng seemed to be fine as she warmly greeted Xu Yuan.
“Xiao Xu, I haven’t seen you in a long time. It’s rare to see you come down here.”
“I’ve been working at home for a few days and I just wanted to come down and take a walk.”
“Look at him, this kid is so hardworking. He can already earn money to support his family at such a young age. Oh right, my granddaughter is from the same school as you. If you have nothing to do, you can do your homework together!”Aunt Feng changed the topic.
Strictly speaking, Xu Yuan was still a student preparing for the college entrance examination. However, because Lei Yong was too honorable, he asked for two days off from school.
Aunt Feng had made it clear. She aimed to bring her granddaughter and Xu Yuan closer in the most critical year. That meant that her granddaughter was doing not so well at school.
Hearing this, the rest of the aunties did not want to lose in the competition either. They rushed up to explain how outstanding their granddaughter or grandson was, expressing their willingness to study together with Xu Yuan.
For a moment, they were just gossiping about the food of Xu Yuan’s family, and now they treated him as a delicacy, not willing to let him be snatched away from them.
Xu Yuan did not expect them to be so open about such things. Eighteen-year-old high school students were already considering starting a relationship. No matter what he said to call them off, they would not listen to him.
Each of them was as bold as a soldier. There was simply no stopping them.

“Hahaha, I suddenly remembered that I still have something to deal with. You guys have a good time!” Xu Yuan said and ran downstairs.
He was leaning against the gray wall at the top of the stairs, and his chest was heaving up and down. After such a commotion, he finally came back to life. That little bit of frustration disappeared under the fierce attacks of these aunties.
All of this was because of the release of “Battle Through the Heavens” today. Xu Yuan was not an over-confident person. He would always base his observation on data. Be that as it may, he felt that nothing was completely right or wrong.
In such a complicated mood, he returned to his room and opened Netland.
He wrote a few simple comments before releasing the first chapter that charged.
Cai Pingtong was equally agitated at this moment and so were the followers of Battle Through the Heavens. They were well-versed in the rules of Netland and were all wondering if this book would be able to maintain its previous good results after it was released.
The moment the new article was released on the website, the number of subscribers continued to rocket. At first, everyone seemed to be waiting for this moment. The numbers that kept climbing were dazzling. At one point, Cai Pingtong even forgot to breathe.
He was so nervous that he kept sipping water in his cup. He didn’t even know when it went empty.
He couldn’t believe his eyes.
After reading the last 200,000 words of Battle Through the Heavens, he estimated the number of subscribers would rise to 40,000. and this was the best result he could have expected.
But what Xu Yuan could do was completely beyond his expectation.
In the end, the number of subscribers slowed down when it hit 100,000. Cai Pingtong breathed in a breath of cold air as he watched.
100,000!
The first time it was released, the number of subscribers was already 100,000! Not to mention that it would increase intermittently later on. Even the editor-in-chief had never seen such a scene before! The other editors watched this scene with their mouths wide open. It would be a lie to say that they were not envious. If no one was watching them, their jaw would have dropped to the ground.
100,000 words was a terrifying number! It was possible that writing a million words might not even reach this result by the end of it!
Mr. Shu actually did it on the first day! The screenwriter who did not follow up for various reasons also quietly opened the first chapter of the book at this time. Those who followed up on the article could not wait to read the following chapters.
In terms of selecting good timing, Mr. Tree was an absolute expert!
At the same time, in the online article forum, the miraculous results of Battle Through the Heavens had also stirred up a storm of discussion.
“F*ck, no way. Just when the first chapter was released, 100,000 people rushed to spend money on it. This really looked like some made-up sh*t.”
“Are you stupid? Who can pull it off in such a short time? They are not that rich.”

“What makes them so addicted to the book? I wasn’t even this punctual on double eleven. Did they just leave the website open the whole time?”
“Haha bro, you don’t seem to be a stan of this book. You’ll understand why if you check out the last chapter before the following chapters were released.”
“Is it that magical? I don’t believe it. I’m here to judge.”
Being kept in suspense by some netizens, the rest of them couldn’t help but contribute to the views and subscription of the book even if some of them were just here to delight themselves.
With their help, the number of subscriptions rose again and climbed to another peak!
