The largest forum in the country at the time was definitely the forum.
During this period, the forum was not very strict, and it had many loopholes.
It was a place teeming with formidable talents.
Jiang Xu posted a thread.
The title of the thread was also eye-catching: A casual discovery that saved me millions and my life, the truth is ...
If you clicked in, there was a short composition.
I am a Rich Second Generation, and my family is very wealthy.
This year I just started university, my grades are mediocre, and my biggest hobby is playing games and hanging out in bars.
Some time ago, I intended to go to an internet cafe with a few friends to play a game.
At that time, I had prepared two million to use for recharge in the game.
While waiting for my roommates, I made a random discovery of a novel.
Initially, I was only planning to take a casual look.
I didn't expect that the novel would be so good.
It made me lose all interest in going to the internet café after my roommates were ready.
I just wanted to stay in the dorm and finish reading this novel.
I read until nightfall without realizing it.
It was as if I had completely forgotten to eat or sleep.
I swear, it was definitely the best and most exciting novel I've ever read.
I was really hungry, so I went downstairs to the dining hall to eat.
At this time, I heard terrible news.
The internet café I used to go to with my roommates caught fire due to aging wires.
Many people died in that accident, including my roommates.
Upon hearing this news, I broke out in a cold sweat.
If I hadn't suddenly found that novel today, and got my attention distracted.
Then I would have gone to the internet café as usual and would have been swallowed up by the fire.
Thank you to that novel, it didn't only save me millions, it also saved my life!
The little essay ends here abruptly.
Jiang Xu was very satisfied, a smug smile on his face.
The plot, the suspense effect is maxed out!
Then, he opened a small software that was previously told to be made by Jiang Xiaoyan for automatic replies.
He set up some responses and started it up.
Soon, the thread began to receive 'a large number of users' comments.
Second floor: Curious, what novel is it?
Third floor: I'm also very curious, what kind of novel is more attractive than the game?
Fourth floor: Is the webmaster here, hurry up and speak!
Fifth floor: The webmaster can't monopolize it, good things should be shared by everyone.
Sixth floor: Good people live in peace all their lives!
...
The current mechanic of the forum is still calculated based on the number of reply posts.
It's about who has more replies to their threads and who ranks higher.
There are still loopholes, so Jiang Xu took advantage of them.
After a while, it would be impossible.
Soon, this thread was pushed to the top.
As the largest domestic forum at the time, the traffic was quite large.
After the thread was pushed to the first place, it immediately attracted the attention of many netizens.
Mainly because the title was catchy.
At this time, netizens who hadn't experienced all sorts of title parties were shocked.
In fact, most of them were quite innocent.
In other words, they were easily deceived.
For example, nowadays, online dating would never be like it is ten years later.
On the Internet, people call each other as 'gaigai', but in reality, they are muscular men over 6 feet tall.
The number of clicks skyrocketed in an instant.
After reading the little essay, a lot of netizens' curiosity was successfully aroused.
They were also asking what kind of novel it was piece by piece.
It actually possesses such great charm?
Jiang Xu saw that half an hour after the thread was posted, excluding the ones he brushed himself, the floor had already reached more than 200.
There are ten floors on a webpage.
That's about two thousand people.
This popularity was already quite good.
However, Jiang Xu didn't announce the answer right away.
Instead, he started writing the second little essay.
A double strike would produce a better effect.
The name of the post was: Because of a novel, my disapproving father-in-law and mother-in-law became genuinely impressed.
Content: I just saw a post about a novel, I will also share one of my real experiences.
I used to be in the breeding industry, and the business was pretty good.
But because of a wrong investment, the capital chain broke down, and I owed millions in debt.
My wife's family went from being warm to cold in an instant.
They looked down on me in various ways, and even when I went to my mother-in-law's house, they did not let me in the main door, and made me eat outside.
At that time, I was disheartened, and my life was bleak.
I even had thoughts of suicide.
But fortunately, at this time, I found a novel.
The protagonist of that novel had experiences similar to mine, and he also suffered from ridicule and sarcasm.
But he didn't fall into self-pity, but silently tried hard.
Even shouting out loud, 'Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, do not bully the youth because they are poor' such firm and powerful words.
And so I woke up, and I recovered.
In the end, after hard work, I succeeded once again.
My previously indifferent father-in-law and mother-in-law, as well as my wife, are now docile like little lambs.
Here, I am very grateful for that novel.
It helped me through the darkest moments of my life.
After writing, Jiang Xu carefully reviewed it.
Actually, there are still loopholes.
But it doesn't matter.
The netizens now haven't seen this kind of routine and are certainly going to fall for it obediently.
He started posting threads using alternate accounts the same way as before.
The post was pushed to the second spot.
The spectators were greatly surprised.
When they clicked in to read it.
Goodness, the two threads were talking about the same novel, right?
This made many netizens itch with curiosity.
They all posted comments as well.
'Can you just tell us what novel it is!'
'Your way of talking half way is really annoying!'
'If you don't speak up, I'll report you!'
...
Jiang Xu looked with amusement as the clicks and replies to the two threads increased rapidly.
One hour later, the click-through rate of both threads exceeded 50,000.
The number of posters exceeded 2,000 excluding the brushed ones.
Jiang Xu estimated that the timing was about right.
The anticipation of netizens has reached the peak.
It's time now.
He immediately replied to the two threads with the accounts used for posting.
Got a fright. I didn't check the thread for a while and it got so many comments.
I'll share this novel with everyone here.
The name is "Martial Universe", the address is...
Each reply in the two threads had a slight difference, and two tones were used.
To prevent people from discovering they were written by the same person.
Then he placed the reply at the top.
Many netizens, after refreshing, saw this reply and the link, and immediately clicked in.
Um.
Unlike a decade later, netizens now are willing to click on unfamiliar links.
Outside the office.
Except for Lin Nan, the expressions on the others' faces were not very good.
Several hours after the website went live, there were no visits, other than the clicks from their employees.
"Sigh." Xu Kun sighed, saying: "This can't be going to flop, can it?"
