After sending Teacher Qiao off, Pei Qian returned to Shenhua View. First, he went to Zhongdian Chinese Network—a level above Tengda—to walk around.
At the moment, Zhongdian Chinese Network was quite stable. Most people were just spending time entertaining themselves.
Traffic on the website was slowly increasing, but on the whole, the website was still doing miserably. What's more, it showed no signs of improvement in the short-term.
Zhongdian Chinese Network still had a bad reputation on many online literature forums. Most authors saw the website as a scam and strongly dissuaded new writers from working full-time for it.
Only authors with zero ambition would make Zhongdian Chinese Network their first choice and consider working full-time there for the sake of that bit of remuneration.
Thus, the editors normally only had two things to do.
Either vet manuscripts or entertain themselves by writing books or playing games.
