Study System: I'm a 38-Year-Old Student-Chapter 121 - 95: The Father-in-law and Mother-in-law Are Both Shocked!
Pioneer Novels is the number one paid website, and many well-known online authors originate from this site. Having a book ranked in the top ten of the monthly tickets on Pioneer Novels is quite an achievement.
It is precisely because of this that Lin Xiamo decided to tell her father about Shen Qiushan’s novel writing today.
"What are you two arguing about in the middle of the night!"
Lin Moxuan was so excited earlier, his loud voice woke up the light-sleeping Chen Qingzhu, who rubbed her sleepy eyes and walked into the living room.
"Momo said that Shen Qiushan is writing a novel!"
"And he even said he plans to pay for his college tuition and living expenses by writing a novel!"
"Isn’t that just wishful thinking!"
Lin Moxuan said, curling his lips.
"Huh?"
"Is there such a thing?"
"When did Qiushan start writing novels??"
Chen Qingzhu was also greatly surprised, looking at her daughter Lin Xiamo with a face full of skepticism.
Faced with their doubts, Lin Xiamo didn’t say much. She opened the Pioneer Novels app and clicked on the monthly ticket rankings, pointing to Shen Qiushan’s book as she said, "This novel website is the largest paid novel site in the country, and this book is written by my brother-in-law. It’s currently ranked eighth on the entire site!"
"This?"
The elderly couple exchanged glances, both focusing on the rankings Lin Xiamo was showing.
"’I Really Didn’t Want to Reincarnate’...."
Chen Qingzhu read out the name of the book ranked eighth. Since her retirement, she had more free time. She hadn’t read online novels but had recently become obsessed with short dramas, many of which had plain and abstract names.
For example, "The Overbearing CEO Fell in Love with Me, the Nanny," "Rebirth in the 80s, Intelligent Battle with the Evil Mother-in-law," "After the Divorce, I Became a Billionaire," and so on! 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
After seeing so many of these drama names, "I Really Didn’t Want to Reincarnate" seemed quite normal to Chen Qingzhu.
"What a ridiculous title!"
"Can this even be considered a novel?"
Lin Moxuan sneered, rolling his eyes. He had the habit of reading but never touched online novels, preferring to read historical books or famous works from home and abroad.
Therefore, to him, online novels were "literary junk!"
"Dad, you’re a leader in the education bureau, you should have a bit of modern thinking. Many people read online novels now, young people love them, and it’s a common way to relax."
Lin Xiamo tried to change her father’s prejudice against online novels.
"No matter how popular it is, it’s still considered lowbrow!"
"There’s no deep thought or meaning to it!"
Lin Moxuan still had a look of disdain.
"Dad, now’s not the time for a value judgment."
Lin Xiamo sighed, "The existence of online novels isn’t to give classes or act as a moral guide; it’s a fragmented form of entertainment that allows people to unwind amid their busyness."
"Work and study are already tiring, no need to read a novel that educates us!"
Chen Qingzhu nodded in agreement, "Momo’s right. It’s just like watching short dramas—it’s about having a bit of fun, nothing more. You can’t expect it to have deep meaning!"
"Young people today are under a lot of pressure, they need a way to relax."
Faced with criticism from both, Lin Moxuan didn’t continue the topic, instead looking at the monthly ticket ranking and asking, "So what if it’s ranked eighth?"
"Can it earn enough for college tuition and living expenses?"
On this topic, Lin Xiamo was ready to chat. She immediately opened the main page of "I Really Didn’t Want to Reincarnate," then opened the fan rankings and explained, "This book has already started selling, meaning readers have to pay to read it."
"I haven’t asked about the specific subscription income, but you’ve seen the fan list, right? Just the reward money from readers for this book is already around 260,000 to 270,000 yuan."
"Look at these Silver Alliance members, each has rewarded more than 10,000 yuan..."
"What??"
"Spending 10,000 yuan to read a novel!"
"Are you talking about R Coins?"
Lin Moxuan and Chen Qingzhu were both shocked, their eyes widened in disbelief.
"Yes!"
"It’s R Coins!"
Lin Xiamo nodded affirmatively; she had plenty of authority on this matter, having rewarded 3,000 yuan herself to boost the Star Shining Value for a character she liked.
"What kind of family can afford this!"
"Spending so much money on a novel?"
Chen Qingzhu mumbled softly, looking at the fan list.
Readers on the list had all kinds of unique nicknames. The top one was called [Oranges], the second [Life is Like a Dream].
The third was even more abstract, called [Taro Milk Tea Meow]!
Might as well be a child’s name.
But kids these days are so rich!
Spending 10,000 yuan on a web novel!
It must be the parents being overly indulgent, spoiling the kids...
When Lin Moxuan heard that just the reward income was 260,000 to 270,000, he was stunned for a while, then incredulously said, "Just this one ridiculous novel can make so much money?"
"Momo, is this information accurate? It couldn’t be Shen Qiushan bragging, could it!"
"He’s good at that!"
The fact that Shen Qiushan was writing novels had already shocked Lin Moxuan, let alone making so much money from it; he naturally didn’t believe it.
"Tips and rewards can’t be faked; it’s all real money."
Lin Xiamo continued, "The 260,000 to 270,000 I mentioned is just from reader rewards, and the income from sales is certainly not less than the reward income!"
