"This time, we must strike a heavy blow against the arrogance of those guys!"
Qi Junguo said to Chen Mao, saying that Dragon Country's chip industry would finally be able to stand tall in the world.
"Convene a group meeting immediately, and launch the 'Taotie' project. We need to produce this 1nm chip as quickly as possible! Then the global chip overlord status will belong to us, Dragon Country!"
Qi Junguo impatiently instructed his assistant, his face filled with joy, even more excited than when the lithography machine was successfully produced last time!
...
"System, open the contribution treasure chest!"
Looking at the system panel in his mind, Wang Shu said directly.
Now that he had thirty days of lifespan, he didn't need to worry about kicking the bucket for the time being.
Therefore, he planned to use the extra twenty contribution points to open two treasure chests.
What if he got a few decades of lifespan, that would be a huge profit!
[Contribution Points -10]
[Contribution Treasure Chest Opened!]
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining: Master-level Culinary Skills]
"???"
Regarding this skill, Wang Shu could only say that it was purely a mind game, but it was not entirely useless.
At least from now on, he could cook for himself, and if that was the case, wouldn't it be equivalent to having a master cook for him every day?
Let's do another one!
[Contribution Points -10]
[Contribution Treasure Chest Opened!]
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining: Memory Search Capsule * 10]
"Memory Search Capsule? What is this thing?"
Wang Shu was puzzled by the strange items the system gave him. He hadn't lost his memory, so why would he need this?
[Memory Search Capsule can quickly search for all forgotten memories deep within the brain!]
Wang Shu was speechless at the system's explanation, which was no explanation at all.
However, on second thought, although he had not lost his memory now, his memory of many works from Earth was not very clear.
Therefore, the Memory Search Capsule could help him solve these problems.
After two draws, although he didn't get the lifespan he wished for, he had gained something overall.
Upon returning home, Wang Shu eagerly went to the supermarket to buy some ingredients and cooked himself a big meal.
"This Master-level culinary skill is indeed amazing!"
Wang Shu exclaimed while cooking. In the past, when he cooked, he either couldn't control the heat or couldn't get the seasoning right.
But now that he was cooking, these problems were no longer an issue.
Even a professional chef watching him cook might not be able to find fault.
He casually stir-fried two dishes, and Wang Shu ate five bowls of rice in one go before stopping.
This Master-level culinary skill was indeed not for show.
Wang Shu even thought about opening a restaurant for himself.
However, this idea was obviously not very realistic. If he were to rely on a restaurant to make money, he would probably run out of lifespan before he even started earning money.
Not to mention those cutting-edge scientific and technological materials that cost millions, the profit from opening a restaurant would never be enough to earn that amount.
After dismissing the unreliable idea, Wang Shu threw the dishes and chopsticks into the kitchen, intending to save them up to wash together, as saving water was everyone's responsibility.
However, as soon as Wang Shu put down the dishes, Xiao Chui called him, telling him that his book would be put on paid shelves tomorrow.
He asked Wang Shu to save up more manuscripts to prepare for a burst of updates after going on shelves.
Wang Shu directly indicated that he understood, as he was very familiar with putting books on shelves.
In his previous life on Earth, he had put several books on shelves, and although they had all flopped, he was still very clear about the process.
After all, whether a web novel was good or bad could be seen once it was put on shelves.
Therefore, putting a book on shelves was very important, and the situation on the first day of going on shelves could even determine the fate of the book.
After hanging up the phone, Wang Shu directly locked himself in his room and started writing manuscripts at high speed.
Meanwhile, upon learning that "Douluo World" would be put on shelves tomorrow, Demon Emperor Taiyi immediately informed his editor that he also wanted to go on shelves tomorrow.
After days of seclusion, he had spent almost all his time coding, except for eating and sleeping. This time, he wanted to show those newcomers how seniors like them competed for rankings with their strength.
Since "Douluo" was going on shelves tomorrow, he would also go on shelves tomorrow.
Moreover, as a contracted big shot author on the website, he would have priority for the recommended push tomorrow.
You want to go on shelves with a recommended push? I won't give it to you!
Demon Emperor Taiyi's lips curved slightly as he smiled triumphantly.
...
At midnight, Wang Shu officially updated the first paid chapter of "Douluo World"!
Since he was too lazy to split chapters, he uploaded thirty thousand words in one chapter.
At the same time, Demon Emperor Taiyi uploaded five paid chapters, and the editorial department also gave him the big shot recommended push.
With the support of the big recommendation, it took less than an hour for Demon Emperor's new book subscriptions to exceed five thousand.
"Now let's see how you're going to play with me, kid. My performance might break the subscription record."
Looking at the continuously growing subscription numbers on the backend, Demon Emperor Taiyi was ecstatic.
After all, this was his best performing book. For his previous works, reaching five thousand total subscriptions on the first day was already a very strong performance.
This one had reached five thousand in just one hour. According to conventional calculation methods, the first-day subscriptions for this book would be at least twenty to thirty thousand!
First-day subscriptions of twenty to thirty thousand! Currently, the website's subscription record is only fifteen thousand on the first day!
With this book, he might be able to secure a supreme big shot contract on the website this year!
Thinking of this, Demon Emperor Taiyi was full of energy. He had originally planned to rest well tonight.
But now he had completely lost the urge to sleep and directly opened the writing page and continued to tap away at the keyboard.
...
Wang Shu went to sleep after uploading that chapter. After all, he hadn't slept much since he ran home last night.
Moreover, after returning home, he had written his book for several more hours. Now that it was on shelves, he couldn't be bothered to care about its performance.
After all, if "Douluo World" flopped, it could only mean that the readers in this world had different tastes from those on Earth.
The next day, as the sun rose.
Wang Shu lazily got out of bed, went to the bathroom to flush the water, and then returned to his computer, ready to check the subscription performance of his new book.
As a result, he entered the website address of Zhongdian Chinese Network several times, but it all showed that he could not access the website.
"Did this broken computer break again?"
Wang Shu said doubtfully as he pressed the refresh button.
