"Such a beautiful book might no longer be available at any time! No, this is absolutely unacceptable! I also want to watch the final battle between Lu Bu and Liu Bei!" Hu Tao jumped up from the bed.
Even a week ago, Hu Tao would not have thought that he would have such a big mood swing over a certain book. But now facing the Romance of the Three Kingdoms in his hand, Hu Tao felt that he had to make a move and find a way to keep the book and let the poor author continue writing.
The only way is to let this book have more readers, and the number of recognized readers must reach 1,000, and give him a God-given literary contract. Only in this way can he continue to concentrate on writing books.
But the question is, how could Hu Tao, an ordinary person like him, help a novel to be recognized by 1,000 people? After all, this is something that many rich people in big chaebols cannot do.
These rich people can spend money to buy recommendation votes from readers, but they cannot spend money to make readers love any book in their hearts. It’s not like no one has done this before. There was once a rich man who gave money to hundreds of thousands of people so that they would sincerely approve of the books written by his son and repeatedly read them.
But in the end, this kid never became a signed author until his death. Even though there were hundreds of thousands of people who paid to read this book, not even 1,000 of them could be found who sincerely approved of it, so later No matter how rich you are, you have to admit that Tiansend Wenyue only depends on the quality of the book itself, not other things.
Hu Tao thought about it and finally opened a software called OO on his mobile phone. This is a social software similar to QQ in this world. The functions are basically the same, just with a different name.
Hu Tao has joined at least more than 20 different groups on OO. All of these groups are reader groups. There are groups of readers and fans of a certain book, and there are also some book recommendation groups that recommend books to each other.
The first thing Hu Tao did was to find these book recommendation groups, and then post a link to the book page of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" with the sentence "Super sacred book, absolute fairy grass seedling, everyone must read it!" "
As a result, in just a minute or two, the book promotion message I sent out shamelessly was covered by a series of other chat messages. These are large groups with more than 1,000 people. The refresh rate of various messages in the group is Soon, Hu Tao's news naturally stopped causing any fluctuations.
In desperation, Hu Tao found the administrators of these groups. After saying all the good things, he asked the group administrators to send a notification. This notification would directly remind all members that they had discovered a good book and recommended that everyone read it. Take a look or something.
This is the most effective way to promote the book group, but only the administrator has such authority. Hu Tao also persuaded the group management because he was very senior in the group.
As a result, Hu Tao was kicked out of these groups in just half a day. The reason was that Hu Tao was an advertising brother who was paid to advertise, and the recommendations he recommended were all rubbish novels.
Almost all book recommendation groups have a rule, that is, they must recommend good novels and never recommend junk. After all, this is the reason why people join book recommendation groups, just to find a good book.
If you dare to recommend rubbish novels in the group, you will be kicked out of the group directly according to the group rules.
As a result, after Hu Tao asked the administrator to recommend it, within a few hours, at least fifty or sixty group members were yelling at Hu Tao in the group, saying that he recommended a trash novel that they could not understand at all. It must have taken money from the author or something.
With so many group members criticizing a book at the same time, the administrators naturally kicked Hu Tao out without hesitation.
Seeing that several of the groups he had been in for more than three years kicked him out, Hu Tao felt unbearable. Just when Hu Tao was about to accept his fate, he suddenly found a private message. Hu Tao.
"Don't be angry. I have read this novel three times. I feel it is the best and most interesting novel I have read this year. The readers in the group are all newbies and cannot appreciate this novel at all. , you ignore them!" The speaker was a group friend named Da Jiangdong Qu. He had chatted with Hu Tao a few times before, but the relationship was not close. Unexpectedly, he took the initiative to comfort Hu Tao today.
It was rare for someone to stand on his side. While Hu Tao boldly comforted him, he also poured out all the troubles he encountered today, and finally said helplessly, "I am actually a person who never recommends books to others, but if this If no one appreciates this book, there will never be a follow-up to this book."
"Blank!" Da Jiangdong on the opposite side responded with emotion, "You are a bastard. You just whetted my appetite. Now I am still waiting to see how Uncle Liu Huang beats Dong Zhuo. Now tell me, this book will be published soon." No more down there?”
"What can I do!" Hu Tao rolled his eyes.
"..." The other side of the chat was silent for a while, and then said, "Do you have 10 recommendation votes?"
"have!"
"That's great. Just wait for me and I'll get you to go to a group. You can go to the group and help promote this book!"
"Forget it, book recommendation groups are useless. I pushed in 7 promotion groups at once, but now 6 of them have kicked me out. It's useless!"
"No, this group is different. The group you joined before has no restrictions. Most of them are novice readers. But the group I will take you to next is different. The minimum requirements for group members are A personal account starts with 10 recommendation votes!" Da Jiang said proudly.
10 recommendation votes?
According to the rules of the library, 10 recommendation votes require at least 100,000 hours of reading time. In other words, the readers who can enter this group are those who have spent 100,000 hours reading novels in their lives.
As Hu Tao, who also has 10 recommendation votes, he knows very clearly that when novels see his talent, those bloody novels will not be able to read at all. Only those very excellent novels can attract readers. Readers like him are interested in reading it.
In other words, the readers in this group should be people with the same high pursuits as myself.
"This group may be useful!" Hu Tao felt a glimmer of hope in his heart, but he also asked with a hint of curiosity, "Why don't you recommend me to the group instead of asking me to join?"
"Each person in the group is only allowed to recommend one book per month. My quota has been used up, so you can only join!" After saying that, Dajiang sent an invitation to Hu Tao.
Hu Tao immediately agreed to the invitation and entered a website called "Do you want fairy grass?" 》In the group.
The number of people in this group is not large. There are currently only more than 300 people. It is the smallest group among all the book recommendation groups that Hu Tao has entered.
But this is normal, after all, there are too few readers who can have ten recommendation votes.
"welcome green hands!"
"It's rare that another old turtle comes ashore!"
Several accounts popped up in the group to welcome Hu Tao. Hu Tao didn't talk nonsense and got straight to the point: "Everyone, I have a book here. It's called Romance of the Three Kingdoms. It's very well written, but the author is a student who took the literary test. Students, if we don’t get God’s blessing, this book will probably have no future, so we need everyone’s help.”
"The newcomer is very brave. He immediately pushed the book as soon as he came in. I seriously doubt that he came here to advertise!" Someone directly questioned, and then Dajiangdong went on to say, "I brought him in, and I have finished reading this." This book, this is indeed a good book!”
Da Jiangdong Qu is obviously very prestigious in the group. With him as a guarantee, no one questions Hu Tao's identity. However, some people curiously asked, "How good is this book? Are you sure we will all like it?" ?”
"How should I put it? This book is an extreme. In the eyes of people who can understand, this is a sacred book, even the best new book this year. But in the eyes of people who can't understand, this is a garbage book. , even reading one chapter is a waste!" Da Jiangdong said.
"Dear gentlemen, "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is indeed a good book, but the author's style is very special. He will create many terms that have never been heard of, and will not explain these terms in the novel, so it will cause many people to I don’t understand what it means.”
"I have prepared a noun explanation here, explaining more than 30 nouns in it. If you encounter something that you don't understand, you can refer to this table to understand it. However, there are still some nouns that I have not understood until now. I need to understand what it means, but it doesn’t affect reading very much, so please understand it!”
As soon as these words were said, the group was silent for a long time.
"Cow!" said one person.
"It's really cool. This is the first time I've seen a book that requires a glossary of terms! Just because of this, I'm interested. I'll go take a look!"
"I'll go too, it's so interesting. I just like this kind of weird novel!" A dozen readers immediately jumped out of the group, looking eager to try it. Hu Tao was so moved that he almost shed tears.
"I told you, for this kind of good book, you can only find close friends in such a group!" Dajiang said proudly.
