Chapter 640: Chapter 226: The School Beauty Senior Who Committed Suicide (Request for Monthly Votes)
This idea was just a fleeting thought in Li Yuan’s mind.
He himself was currently a superstar newcomer being meticulously cultivated by Yuandian Web. He had reached the highest levels of promotion and was truly becoming famous outside of his original circles.
With the titles "musical genius" and "Zhihu Founder" enhancing his profile, enthusiastic fans flocked to support him by joining the Alliance Leader Group. Every day, dozens of Alliance Hierarchs were making donations. Now, the number of people in his Alliance Leader Group had surpassed 1,000, effectively transforming it from a "reader group" into a "fan group." There was nothing Li Yuan could do about it. One could only say that the fervor of fans was on a completely different level than that of readers.
It was just like the Jay Chou concert in Modu that he and Zhong Tingyue had attended over the weekend. The ticket sales for that one event were in the tens of millions, yet tickets were nearly impossible to get.
If superstars like Jay Chou and Xu Song were to write a novel on the website, how massively popular would it become? Such a scene is unimaginable. As long as the quality was passable, it would probably break the highest subscription record in the online literary world with ease.
Although he hadn’t yet reached the level of Jay Chou or Xu Song in the music world, he had released a string of hits in just about a month: "Natural Beauty," "Love Confession Balloon," "Just Met You," "Anhe Bridge," and "Once Is Enough." In the eyes of his fans, this made him a musical genius comparable to the likes of Jay Chou and Xu Song, which naturally attracted a fervent following.
A smile touched Li Yuan’s lips as he thought of the subscription data and donation figures he had seen over the past few days. Bolstered by the support of his numerous fans and his daily updates of ten thousand words, his royalties for October would likely reach an astronomical figure. It was very possible they would even exceed eight figures.
The group arrived at the small cafeteria. Li Yuan ordered seven or eight dishes, and they continued their discussion about establishing an online literature society.
The more Gao Xin thought about it, the more excited she became. Her eyes burned with eagerness as she grinned at Li Yuan and said, "Talented Li, if it’s too much trouble and you don’t want to be the one to step forward, I can run the errands. I can apply to the university’s Youth League Committee, I’ll just need to borrow your name. What do you think?"
Seeing his classmates so excited, Li Yuan didn’t want to dampen their spirits.
After all, establishing a club at school is very easy. I probably don’t even need to apply for a venue; it can just be run out of the dorm. However, if I apply to establish the club in my name, the school might offer some support. Even if the online literature society needs activity funds, for someone like me worth over a hundred million, it’s not a big deal. It’s not even a drop in the bucket.
After a moment of thought, Li Yuan nodded and agreed with a smile. "Okay, you guys can handle it. I’ll give you my full support, both moral and material."
Seeing Li Yuan agree, Gao Xin, Li Lanrong, and Ge Chenchen all jumped up excitedly, looking as if they could already see a future where they became members of the Writers Association and achieved financial freedom.
Gao Xin looked relieved and responded with a broad smile, "Hee hee, Talented Li, with you saying that, we can rest assured. The few of us will definitely do our best to make our online literature society a five-star club that surpasses even the official Literature Society."
"Yeah, yeah! With Boss Li’s support, I can’t even imagine the heights our online literature society will reach," Li Lanrong added, her face full of aspiration.
"Hey, what do you guys think? If we all become online authors and eventually get to join a writers association—even if we can’t get into *the* Writers Association, just getting into the Modu City Writers Association would be extremely nice."
"Haha, I’m more excited about the royalties. If it’s like Li Yuan said, and we can make a few thousand a month, we won’t have to worry about tuition and living expenses."
"Just last night, Zhijin and I were talking about getting part-time jobs at Boss Li’s company. If we start writing, I guess that’s another form of a part-time job, right?"
"Hee hee, so Liu Jia, Wu Hao, and Xu Ziqiang, you three will be working part-time at Director Li’s company, while we girls work at Li Yuan’s literature society..."
As they chatted, the topic shifted to the name, structure, admission requirements, and venue for their planned online literature society.
Gao Xin looked at Li Yuan, her beautiful eyes twinkling. "Talented Li, you’re spearheading this online literature society, you’re our core. So, could you give our club a name?"
"A name?" Li Yuan was slightly taken aback, then laughed. "A name is whatever. You guys can just pick one."
Gao Xin immediately objected, "That won’t do! The name has to come from you, Talented Li. Only then will it be meaningful."
"Right, right! Li Yuan, hurry up and think of a name," Li Lanrong and Ge Chenchen quickly chimed in.
Li Yuan nodded helplessly. "Alright, then."
He thought for a moment, and a name surfaced in his mind. He looked at them and slowly uttered a single word.
"Spark!"
"Let’s call the online literature society ’Spark.’ What do you think?"
"Spark?" Gao Xin mulled over the word, her eyes gleaming. She clapped her hands in praise.
"A single spark can start a prairie fire."
"I get what you mean! Our ’Spark Literature Society’ might be insignificant right now, but one day, with everyone’s hard work, it will grow and spread like wildfire, eventually astonishing the entire world..."
"Am I right, Talented Li?"
Li Yuan gave a faint smile. He had simply thought the name sounded nice, and it also happened to be the title of a book written by a beautiful female author he knew from his past life.
