The next day, when Zack woke up, he saw that the "old auntie" named Annie hadn't bothered him again, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Whether she was really an "old auntie" or not, Zack had a guess.
Ninety percent, she wasn't.
People who read his books on the novel website usually weren't too old. Although not everyone, most of them should be under thirty, especially female readers.
Secondly, there was her WeChat avatar.
It was her cat, but the cute special effects added around the avatar were clearly something a teenage or early twenty-something girl would do.
But even if she wasn't an "old auntie," what difference did it make? Zack wasn't interested in chatting with her.
The main reason was that this girl could reward him with two hundred thousand yuan without hesitation. She was definitely from a wealthy family.
A kind of wealth that Zack couldn't comprehend at present.
Young and wealthy, these two attributes together likely meant a troublesome and willful personality.
This was evident from the way she had obtained his WeChat.
This kind of woman wasn't someone Zack could handle right now. Their consumption views and values were different, making it difficult to become friends in such a situation.
She might be his fan, but what use were fans? Kids from this social class were almost always well-informed.
Many idols in the eyes of their fangirls weren't even qualified to celebrate the birthdays of these people's families.
In this situation, the so-called idol star aura was useless to these kids.
That's why those handsome male idols and stars rarely married beautiful and wealthy women, because those women didn't see them as idols.
"Plus, what if she's ugly? Then I'd be at a loss!"
After finishing his breakfast and sitting in front of the computer, Zack muttered to himself.
Men who go for ugly but wealthy women are only after their money.
But Zack had the Life Reset Simulator. Although he might be poor now, he believed he would become wealthy soon.
Since he didn't lack money, he should of course go support poor female college students!
"Hey, maybe it's some little girl secretly using her parents' money to reward? Recently, the news often reports kids spending their parents' money on live streamers."
Zack rubbed his chin. This situation was indeed possible.
What if he encountered such a situation and was asked to refund the money? Then he would refund it.
Since the effect of the reward had already been achieved, Zack didn't care about the hundred thousand yuan after the percentage.
In this sense, it was the same as the principle of rewards given by live-streaming platform unions to their streamers, aiming at traffic and news effects.
"Instead of wasting time chatting with this wealthy girl, it's better to work hard and become wealthy myself!"
Rubbing his hands, Zack stopped thinking too much and dove back into his writing career.
Women were never as important as money. That was Zack's current mindset.
...
On the first day, sales reached eight hundred thousand yuan, and Zack could probably earn five hundred thousand yuan.
The second day's subscription sales were even higher than the first, but without the reward, Zack's income dropped to around four hundred thousand yuan.
He continued to update at high intensity until his daily income stabilized at around one hundred thousand yuan, and the data no longer fluctuated significantly.
Zack calculated carefully that, excluding the later major income from film and television adaptations, the pure subscription income of this book should be around five million yuan.
This number wasn't too high, even now. Some master-level authors on this website earned far more than that from a single book subscription.
The main reason was that "Notes of Tomb Raiding" had too few words overall.
Zack planned to finish it at one million five hundred thousand words, so naturally, the subscription income only reached five million yuan.
Zack started writing this book in July. Including the free chapters, his July income was only around one million yuan.
The income for July was paid out in mid-August, and August's income would only be paid out in September.
That wasn't what Zack wanted.
His goal was to increase his capital as much as possible and try to complete the life experiences of the asset management tycoon during the summer break.
Nobody knew if he would have so much free time after school started, and he didn't want to wait until September.
So, after considering his words carefully, Zack approached Waite and asked him to talk to the company, claiming that he urgently needed to buy a house.
He wanted to know if the company could release his income for the first half of August in August instead of September.
If the company didn't agree, Zack was even willing to take out some money to compensate for the company's losses.
As a student at the Imperial Capital University of Finance and Economics, Zack knew that this would cause a loss to the website.
Normally, the money for August would be paid in September, allowing it to generate interest in the bank.
Supermarkets, as business entities, actually earn money in this way.
In terms of pure commodity profits, supermarkets don't earn much.
However, because supermarkets have a large amount of cash flow, they delay payments to suppliers, allowing this huge cash flow to generate interest and thus earn substantial interest.
After hearing Zack's request, Waite went directly to the company's senior management.
"The editor-in-chief and the deputy editor-in-chief have agreed. You don't need to take out any money, Zack. You'll get whatever you're entitled to, and the company will adjust the accounting for this part."
Waite's message put Zack at ease.
Zack's book had great potential, and the company wouldn't risk upsetting him for a few tens of thousands of yuan.
It just showed that capable people could enjoy privileges wherever they went.
This way, after receiving his manuscript payment in August, Zack would have around 2.7 million yuan in cash.
This amount of money was insignificant in the capital market.
But for Zack, it was enough to leverage a larger investment.
...
As it entered mid-August, Zack saw that he had at most three days left to finish the book. He felt a surge of energy.
This painful writing life was finally coming to an end, and a bright future was beckoning him.
Just when Zack had less than ten thousand words left to finish the book and could slowly release the content over the next month,
An article on Weibo sparked a huge discussion.
"Tomb Raiding Rampant? "Notes of Tomb Raiding" Is Corrupting Young People!"
Zack furrowed his brow. It had finally come.
Before writing this theme, he had actually anticipated this, as tomb-raiding themes were suspicious of being illegal.
