After dinner, Qin Yun and the others returned to the dormitory, and each opened their laptops.
"Guys, want to play a couple of rounds?"
Seeing the icons on the others' computers, Zhao Kanghao said with a smile.
"Fellow enthusiasts, huh."
"I'll play mid-lane, my Yasuo is awesome."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Pang and Cheng Daxiong's eyes lit up.
However, Qin Yun, Li Hanyu, and Liu Xin all shook their heads in refusal.
Qin Yun and Li Hanyu said they wouldn't play, and as for Liu Xin, he said he didn't know how to play. He clicked on his somewhat outdated computer, trying to connect to the Wi-Fi like the others.
In response, Zhao Kanghao and the others didn't say anything; the three of them enthusiastically opened League of Legends, started adding friends, and began a trio game.
Meanwhile, Qin Yun was looking at the textbook in his hand, seemingly very interested in its content.
Li Hanyu was typing on the screen, occasionally sending a WeChat message, chatting with someone unknown.
Qin Yun glanced at Li Hanyu's computer screen, a look of surprise in his eyes, but he didn't ask and turned back to his textbook.
About twenty minutes later, a game ended, and Zhao Kanghao's complaining voice rang out: "Daxiong, you're such a noob, didn't you say your Yasuo is awesome? You got wrecked by the opponent."
"Ahem." Upon hearing this, Cheng Daxiong coughed a few times, scratching his head sheepishly and said, "I just started playing during summer vacation, give me a few more days, and I'll carry you guys to victory."
After saying a few words, he looked at Li Hanyu by the side table and curiously asked, "Li Hanyu, what are you doing typing so much on the computer?"
With his words over, Zhao Kanghao and the others also looked over out of curiosity, then gathered around.
Cheng Daxiong couldn't make out what it was, but Zhao Kanghao exclaimed, "Li Hanyu, you're writing a novel, let me see, you've written up to Chapter 240 already."
At this point, Zhou Pang was also surprised and curiously asked, "Li Hanyu, what's the name of the novel? Let me search it up."
It seemed both he and Zhao Kanghao were fond of reading novels.
Watching the two of them, Li Hanyu said with a smile, "My novel is serialized on Qidian Chinese Network, and it's called 'Path of Star Origin'. "
"Let me search for it."
Zhou Pang evidently had the Qidian APP, quickly searching and clicking open.
"Wow, it already has over forty thousand fans, this book's doing pretty well, isn't it?" Zhou Pang asked promptly.
"Seeing that this book launched on August 1st, how many collections does it have? How are the subscriptions going?"
He seemed to be quite familiar with these.
Li Hanyu smiled and said, "Now it has over twenty thousand collections, and an average subscription of over 1600."
"Wow, that's impressive." Zhou Pang exclaimed, "Have you estimated how much you might earn this month?"
After speaking, Cheng Daxiong asked curiously, "Zhou Pang, you mean Li Hanyu can earn money from writing this novel?"
He wasn't very knowledgeable about these things and never read novels.
"Of course, many people earn money writing novels nowadays. Those famous authors can easily earn tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands each month."
Zhou Pang said, "One of my brother's classmates is a full-time writer, and now he earns over 20,000 a month."
"Can you earn that much?" Cheng Daxiong was completely amazed.
What Zhou Pang said had somewhat shattered his worldview.
Looking at Li Hanyu, Cheng Daxiong couldn't help but ask, "Li Hanyu, can you earn that much too?"
More than 20,000, to him, seemed like a huge amount. In the first half of his university semester, his parents gave him a combined 6,000 for living expenses, with the next batch of money coming during winter break when he returns home.
"Not that much."
Li Hanyu smiled and said, "I update three chapters daily, wrote 180,000 words in August, adding full attendance, rewards, and website bonuses, I might get around 6,000."
"6,000?"
Everyone in the dormitory exclaimed, especially Cheng Daxiong, who felt envious.
This way, he could earn his living expenses for half a semester in just one month.
Qin Yun was also watching, slightly surprised that there's such talent in his dorm. He reads a bit of novels too, so he understands the situation.
Such achievement definitely surpasses most people on the website.
"That's amazing, Li Hanyu, you can earn 6,000 just after a month of writing novels, there are so many people working now who don't earn more than you." Zhao Kanghao remarked.
"And it's not just that. As the word count increases in the novels, your income will rise higher. In a few months, earning 10,000 a month won't be a problem for Li Hanyu anymore," Zhou Pang said with a smile.
This made Cheng Daxiong even more envious.
If he earned 10,000 a month, what couldn't he buy?
"Li Hanyu, can I ask how to write novels?" Cheng Daxiong couldn't help but ask, "Not talking about earning 6,000 a month, but if I can earn 2,000, I'd be satisfied."
Apparently, he's very interested now.
"Well..."
Li Hanyu pondered for a moment after hearing Cheng Daxiong's words and said, "Writing a novel is basically the ability to create stories. I don't know how to teach that, but Daxiong, if you want to write, you can start by reading a few novels. I naturally learned to write after reading many novels."
"Haha, Daxiong, writing novels isn't that easy. I wrote one over the summer, kept at it for a month, and in the end, nobody read it and the website didn't sign me, so I quit." Zhou Pang laughed.
"How many novels have you read?" he asked.
Upon hearing this, Cheng Daxiong shook his head and said, "I haven't read any."
Zhou Pang was speechless for a moment, having not read a single novel, and now he wants to write one? Dude, are you kidding me?
"Alright, let's stop talking and proceed to the second match."
Zhao Kanghao wasn't very interested in Li Hanyu's novel writing business nor how he earns 6,000 a month, so he spoke openly.
"Qin Yun, are you playing?" He looked at Qin Yun, who was reading, and asked, "This is really easy to get into, not playing it in the dorm is boring."
Liu Xin's computer instantly seemed unsuitable, playing League of Legends would lag, Li Hanyu needed to type, and Qin Yun had a new Huawei computer, so it wouldn't lag when playing.
Now he saw that Qin Yun didn't seem busy.
Qin Yun smiled and refused, "You guys go ahead."
He really wasn't that interested in playing and only played a few times, knowing his own level.
While reading, Qin Yun was also paying attention to the others in the dormitory.
Zhao Kanghao, Cheng Daxiong, and Zhou Pang had relatively outgoing personalities, speaking freely, with Zhao Kanghao having the best family background among them, though aside from clothes, both his phone and computer were Apple products.
As for Cheng Daxiong's family and Zhou Pang's family, they seemed average, both using phones priced around two or three thousand yuan.
Li Hanyu was the same, but he seemed more mature than his peers.
As for Liu Xin, he spoke very little, hardly talking at all, giving off a socially anxious vibe. Judging by his phone and computer, which were all old, it seemed his family wasn't well off.
