After thinking for a long time, Nathaniel Zhou finally decided to make his first pot of gold by writing novels. However, it is definitely impossible for him to write on Qidian Chinese website. The revenue of Chinese website is too slow. Not to mention the 300,000 free words, even the recommendation mechanism at the back can make people die. This big website really makes money after 1.5 million words, but Nathaniel Zhou's novel was originally intended to be sold out in one go. If he really wrote 1.5 million words, Nathaniel Zhou was afraid that the novel would not be sold out in one go, but he would be sold out first.

So I opened the Chinese website just to see what stage the current novels have developed to, and then I found a familiar small website based on my memory. This website has only been established for two years, and 90,000 words can be signed and put on the shelves. The most important thing is that the scale is much lower than that of large websites, and the readers are relatively young. Writing books on such a website does not require literary skills, and even logic is not needed. As long as it is fun, it's fine. Even if you fly a plane to New York First People's Hospital, no one will find it abrupt.

Nathaniel Zhou's first novel is still of the Three Kingdoms type. Because it is simple and does not require drafting, the story begins with a direct time travel to the past. In the north, which is still a period of war, the protagonist travels directly to the past and becomes the son of Liu Biao, occupying the rich land of Jingzhou. There are powerful enemies eyeing him covetously outside and a stepmother who is unwilling to be lonely inside. The protagonist has a difficult time and needs to develop seriously.

At the beginning, a little maidservant was bored and wrote a few words, then the protagonist wrote a poem, which amazed everyone, and then Liu Biao, the cheap father, was suddenly enlightened and shouted: "My son has the talent of Chen Ping and Zhang Liang!"

Then, relying on his own abilities, he chose a county to develop. He could meet excellent generals just walking down the street. The protagonist was shocked. The unruly Gan Ning bowed down and said with tears of gratitude: "I am willing to serve you at my service!"

In his previous life, Nathaniel Zhou’s favorite thing to write was the Romance of the Three Kingdoms novel. All the materials were ready-made and could be used directly. He could use more than a dozen pages to collect a few civil officials and generals, and then write some colorful plots, and the novel of two million words would be completed. For example, the first chapter Nathaniel Zhou is writing now is about the protagonist being suppressed by his stepmother and despised by his father. The protagonist of the original time and space was timid and cruel, and then traveled through time and space to the past. At the beginning, it mainly describes how awesome the protagonist is, and even more so how beautiful the protagonist’s stepmother is.

The daughter of the Cai family married Liu Biao when she was a teenager. She is only about 25 years old now. As she has been living in seclusion for a long time, she naturally has a unique charm.

If this kind of novel was written in the future, it would definitely be 404. But you have to know that this is 2009, you can write it however you want. Even in the first chapter, the protagonist may already be thinking, damn it, screw me, let’s see who screws who next?

Although he just wrote it casually at the beginning, Nathaniel Zhou became addicted to this kind of plot in the end. His inspiration flowed like a stream and he kept typing away until 2:30 in the morning, having written five or six chapters.

Nathaniel Zhou spent three years writing novels in his previous life, with his highest speed being 6,000 words per hour. So in just two hours, Nathaniel Zhou had written almost 10,000 words, and he posted all of them on the website.

I also want to make an explanation: I am a little uncomfortable when I come to this site for the first time. I usually write a minimum of 20,000 words. Before it is put on the shelves, I write 15,000 words a day, and after it is put on the shelves, I write 30,000 words a day!

In 2009, there were very few people writing novels, let alone the internal circulation. Most people wrote for fun and only wrote three to four thousand words a day. As a result, Nathaniel Zhou wrote ten thousand words right away.

When night owls who were originally looking for novels read this, they were shocked. Is this true? Is this author so amazing? You must support this one!

Then I clicked in to take a look and read Nathaniel Zhou's description of the protagonist's stepmother, saying that her skin was whiter than snow and she still had charm, but she wore a chest-revealing Hanfu that couldn't hide her graceful body at all.

Just by reading this kind of description, the readers were moved to tears, and they only regretted not meeting an author like Nathaniel Zhou earlier. Without saying a word, they clicked to collect the book, gave a reward of ten yuan, and then immediately transferred the novel to the group.

"Brothers! I found a good book! Damn, it's so good, this is the first time I've seen such a good novel! What potatoes and tomatoes, they are nothing compared to me, Big Brother Zhou! From now on, I will only follow Big Brother Zhou!"

Nathaniel Zhou wrote novels just as he pleased, so he certainly wouldn't rack his brains to come up with a pen name, so he just wrote Mr. Zhou. After reading his novels, others simply called him "Big Brother."

A bookworm read Nathaniel Zhou's novel and felt like he had found a treasure. He quickly posted it to the group to show off. Others were even more curious. You know, this bookworm is extremely picky. What kind of great book could make him recommend it so highly?

So they clicked to read and took a look at the content.

Just Fcuk!

The author has a solid literary foundation and rich historical and cultural knowledge! The most important thing is that he thinks about what the readers think and is anxious about what the author is anxious about. Such a novel must be praised!

At this time, most authors with a little literary talent basically gathered on Qidian. Small websites really had a hard time. Most novels were just written casually. Professional writers like Nathaniel Zhou, who came from later generations, really beat them all.

Overnight, Nathaniel Zhou’s novel was pushed to the top of the new book list.

After finishing writing the novel, Nathaniel Zhou felt tired, so he dragged his exhausted body to sleep. He closed his eyes and thought about everything that happened that day. The corners of Nathaniel Zhou's mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly, and he suddenly felt that rebirth was not a bad thing.

Maybe it was because his body was strengthened after his rebirth, Nathaniel Zhou's physical strength and endurance had been significantly improved. After only five hours of sleep, Nathaniel Zhou felt full of energy. At six o'clock in the morning, it was originally the time for Nathaniel Zhou to memorize English words, but after his rebirth, Nathaniel Zhou no longer took learning seriously. He got up, washed up simply, and then went downstairs to run.

Although Nathaniel Zhou had good grades in high school, he spent most of his time on studying and was basically useless in sports. After being reborn this time, Nathaniel Zhou plans to choose another path.

So he got up in the morning and ran ten kilometers in one breath. It's strange to say, when Nathaniel Zhou was in high school, he had a hard time running five kilometers, but this time he ran ten kilometers without any blushing or heart palpitations. If he hadn't run out of time, Nathaniel Zhou might have continued running.

After running, I took a quick cold shower and changed into a clean sports shirt.

"Zhou~" Ava Xia  was about to speak at the door.

The door opened and Nathaniel Zhou walked out carrying his schoolbag.

Ava Xia  was stunned. This was the first time Nathaniel Zhou didn't let her wait?

"Let's go." Nathaniel Zhou slung the backpack over his shoulders and said lightly.

"No, Nathaniel Zhou, you don't wear school uniform?" Ava Xia  asked.

"We're all going to take the college entrance exam, so there's no need."
