Study System: I'm a 38-Year-Old Student-Chapter 79 - 72: Who Doesn’t Have an Alt Account!

Shen Qiushan is certainly not aloof. Recently, he’s been deeply immersed in studying and hasn’t paid much attention to the novel he’s been uploading. The updates are set to a timer, releasing two Chapters every day at noon.

The reason he doesn’t value this novel that much is probably a sense of belonging issue, because it’s not something he typed out word by word, so there’s no feeling of it being "his own child".

Unlike other online novel authors who, after uploading a book, can’t wait to check the back-end data every hour.

That’s why Shen Qiushan had no idea that readers spontaneously started a "Yu You" debate recently!

The Xiaoyu’er Faction and the Youchu Faction were having a blast fighting.

As a result, "I Really Didn’t Want to Reincarnate" received rewards amounting to tens of thousands.

Just before evening self-study was over, Shen Qiushan finally remembered his online serialized novel.

He opened the Penguin Writer Assistant app he hadn’t accessed for several days.

And then he was taken aback by the back-end data.

Favorites: 78,502

Chase Reads: 36,856

These two key data had nearly doubled since the last time he checked.

According to editor Wutong, a favorites-to-chase-reads ratio of less than five is already quite good.

Yet, Shen Qiushan’s book was almost at a 2:1 ratio!

Incredible!

And that’s just the secondary part.

Shen Qiushan discovered he’d received a lot of reader donations.

The most recent donation was 100,000 Penguin Coins!

Converted to R Coins, that’s 1,000 bucks!

He quickly checked the donation record.

And was completely stunned.

Over the past few days, he’d received over forty donations of 1,000 bucks each. Among them, a reader with the nickname "Taro Milk Tea Meow" had donated a total of 3,000 bucks, the most generous of all.

Including other smaller donations, the total amount amassed was over 60,000!

Shen Qiushan was utterly shocked.

Previously, Wutong had said that you could only earn money from the novel once it was officially launched for sale.

Yet, it hadn’t even been launched, and he’d already received over 60,000 in donations!

Such wealth!

These readers are so rich!

Shen Qiushan couldn’t help but marvel silently in his heart.

He quickly did some math, knowing that over 60,000 in donations would be split 50/50 with the platform.

That means he could only get over 30,000, and after deducting income tax, the actual money in hand would be less than 30,000.

Shen Qiushan looked out the window.

Wow... it’s so dark!

Returning his gaze to the phone, he discovered there were quite a few private messages.

Most of these messages were from readers, with a large portion urging for more updates.

The remaining small portion was quite miscellaneous.

Editors from other novel websites hoped he would publish books on their sites.

Even authors from the same website wanted to add him on WeChat to pull him into authors’ groups.

The message from the nickname "Taro Milk Tea Meow" caught his attention.

Shen Qiushan remembered that name; they had rewarded him 3,000 bucks!

Definitely a big patron.

This "Taro Milk Tea Meow" had already sent him three messages.

The first was leaving a WeChat ID, saying they liked his work and wanted to add him as a friend.

The second message was a series of question marks, probably because Shen Qiushan hadn’t responded at all.

The third message, just a few minutes ago, was obviously showing this big patron was a bit upset.

Accusing him of being aloof!

Shen Qiushan felt quite innocent; he hadn’t seen the message at all and didn’t know the other had donated so much money.

3,000 bucks!

Why give rewards?

Such a middleman cut the difference.

Judging by the name, the other side was probably a female reader.

And likely a wealthy woman.

Who else would spend 3,000 bucks just to read!

So, if necessary.

Just transfer the 3,000 bucks directly to him!

He could provide home service...

Reading services!

If this rich woman had other thoughts.

Well, it would depend on appearance and figure!

Shen Qiushan isn’t the kind of man who is easygoing.

Not just any woman could have him!

Now, he’s at least considered an author!

Selling only skills, not oneself!

Pfft!

Selling skills, not oneself!

That’s an author’s bottom line.

Shen Qiushan copied the wealthy woman’s WeChat ID.

However, when he was about to add her as a friend, he opened his WeChat clone.

This was the WeChat he used when delivering orders, a work account, you could say. Shen Qiushan changed the nickname to "Shen’s Tutoring" and found some handsome online photo as an avatar.

He also casually deleted a bunch of zombie friends from his contacts.

After remodeling his WeChat, he proceeded to add the WeChat ID left by the wealthy woman.

The nickname on the other side was the same as on Penguin Novels.

Both were "Taro Milk Tea Meow".

Adding a friend required verification, so Shen Qiushan filled in: I am the author of "I Really Didn’t Want to Reincarnate".

After the message was sent.

The other instantly accepted the friend request.

Taro Milk Tea Meow: Finally, you added me!!!

Shen’s Tutoring: Sorry, just saw your message.

Taro Milk Tea Meow: No worries, I’m just a huge fan of your book, especially the character Xiaoyu’er, it’s written amazingly!

Absolutely love it!!

Shen Qiushan hadn’t interacted with readers before, so he didn’t really know how to communicate with them. He just replied with a thanks.

Taro Milk Tea Meow: Can you give a spoiler, who does the male lead end up with?

Could he end up with Xiaoyu’er?

I think they’re such a perfect match!!

Seeing the message, Shen Qiushan instinctively touched his chin, momentarily not knowing how to respond.

The plot is something he couldn’t change; the system rewards were for a complete book.

Shen Qiushan considered himself incapable of altering the storyline.

Shen’s Tutoring: Thank you for liking Xiaoyu’er and also for your rewards.

I will seriously consider your suggestion!

You can’t offend a patron, so Shen Qiushan replied noncommittally.

Just then, the school bell rang.

Shen’s Tutoring: School’s out, let’s chat later when I’m free.

Elsewhere.

On the bed in a girls’ dormitory at Sanjiang University.

Having finally reached the author, Lin Jiayu was in a great mood. Her slender fingers danced nimbly across the mobile screen, her clear, spring-like eyes sparkling with delight, the corners of her mouth subtly rising, revealing a pair of enchanting dimples.

She was half-leaning against the bed’s headboard, her long, black hair casually draped on the pillow, her pajama neckline unintentionally open, revealing a section of delicate white collarbone and half of a quivering white rabbit.

Seeing the reply in the chatbox, Lin Jiayu’s beautiful eyes widened slightly.

School’s out?

So the author was a student???

And school at this time should mean he’s a high school student!

Impossible!!

Such an amazing book was written by a high school student??

Lin Jiayu was utterly shocked.

The dimples on her cheeks were overshadowed by her stunned expression.

Taro Milk Tea Meow: You’re a student???

She sent this message and then added a shocked emoji.

Shen’s Tutoring: Yes, the college entrance exams are coming up, so I’m quite busy.

On the Internet, identities are what we claim them to be, not to mention Shen Qiushan’s answer wasn’t deceitful.

He is a student now!

It’s just that his age is slightly older than a normal student!

Taro Milk Tea Meow: Impressive!!!

Shen’s Tutoring: What about you, what do you do?

Shen Qiushan was also curious about the wealthy woman who rewarded him 3,000 bucks, so he asked smoothly.

Pondering the question, Lin Jiayu responded after a moment with "Doctor"!

On the internet, identities are what we claim them to be.

Plus, she was indeed studying medicine and would likely become a doctor in the future.

So it wasn’t considered a lie!

And even if it was, so what? This WeChat account was just a side account she used to add friends while gaming anyway!
