Rebirth begins with studying hard

Chapter 15 The First Pot of Gold

After realizing he needed to make money, Lu Jie carefully considered which methods he could try.

Do business?

He does have some channels and ideas, but these all require capital.

Where does the principal come from?

In his past life, he relied on his mother for what he received. Now, during his high school years, his mother is giving him money to start a business.

If you dare bring this up and don't study properly, you'll surely upset your mother.

Moreover, even if you manage to secure the initial capital, starting a business still requires a significant amount of time.

If you really want to make money, you'll definitely have to skip classes and won't be able to study.

That would put us back in the cycle of dropping out of school from our previous life.

This is the kind of life he absolutely does not want.

In this life, he would rather live a simpler life, but he must study hard, get into university, and see different aspects of life.

Therefore, he absolutely must go to university, and he must obtain a bachelor's degree.

Even if you start another business in the future, you must have a backup plan.

I must never repeat what I did in my previous life, where after my business failed, I could only take odd jobs or work as a waiter.

Doing art?

I don't want to draw anymore; I have absolutely no idea how.

He was actually quite knowledgeable about singing in his past life.

Because Ding Yiming liked Mayday, he followed her in her pursuit of the band. To make her happy, he took guitar lessons for a period of time when his business was stable.

If he practices regularly, he can actually play and sing quite a few songs.

He even tried to create original songs, but unfortunately he didn't have the talent and could only work as a tailor, piecing together some songs that were neither fish nor fowl.

He does remember some popular songs from his past life, but monetizing music requires channels.

The most traditional way is definitely to release records, but how do you find someone to release records?

What if someone else gets to use it for free? Not only would you lose one or two songs, but you'd also waste time and get no results. How infuriating!

Another way is to participate in the talent show.

But participating in a talent show is also unreliable.

Regardless of how murky the talent show is, even if it were a solution, it would still take time to participate in preliminary rounds.

Feicheng doesn't have any audition venues for talent shows, so I have to take time off work to go to other places, which costs both money and time.

Even if they achieve good results, they still have to sign a contract for several years.

These contracts from the client have a bunch of unfair standard clauses, but since they've taken the initiative to participate in the talent show and want to go down this path, they have to sign even the most unfair contracts.

Once the contract is signed, the decision-making power is in the hands of others.

What if, like with Xue Zhiqian, his company undergoes a change in senior management and he's effectively sidelined?

Earning a base salary of two or three thousand a month is truly a nightmare.

If you can't make a living, then start a business to earn money? That's worse than failing at business in your previous life.

The sunk costs were too high, he couldn't study normally anymore, and he couldn't explain it to his mother.

After all, in her mother's mind, singing was a complete waste of time.

If he dared to ask for leave to participate in some music talent show, his mother would be so angry that she would break his legs.

Totally not feasible.

Playing online music like Xu Song, Xu Liang, and Wang Sulong is a viable option, offering more flexibility in terms of time and lower investment, but expecting to reap the rewards will take at least five or six years.

It took Xu Song four years from releasing his first song online in 2006 to self-publishing his first album.

Making real money came even later.

In that time, he would have been in college, and probably figured out how to start a business and make money.

It's more of a hobby; you can do it during your university years.

Traditional literary creation is a good channel.

It doesn't take up too much time, yet it can still be considered learning.

After all, no one can say that writing articles is a waste of time; Chinese language classes do include composition.

A few years ago, if you could win first prize in the New Concept Homework Competition, you would have a chance to be specially admitted to Tsinghua or Peking University.

Unfortunately, he knew nothing about magazines or publishing, and couldn't write any suitable articles.

Otherwise, back in 2008, when the physical book business hadn't declined yet, the path of publishing in magazines first and then in print would have been a truly lucrative one.

Good performance in physical publishing can earn a lot of money.

And he can still earn the empty title of a traditional writer.

It really makes my mother incredibly happy and proud.

He can't write physical books, but he's really good at writing online novels.

In his previous life, he was a fan fiction writer who had published over ten thousand copies.

He has written and achieved success with all the popular fanfictions from his previous life, such as "Battle Through the Heavens," "Covering the Sky," "Swallowing the Stars," and "Mysterious Resurrection."

He wouldn't say he knows these books by heart, but he has thoroughly studied the main storylines, exciting moments, and selling points.

These books didn't exist at this time in 2008.

Potato hadn't even published "Warcraft Sword Saint's Otherworldly Adventures" yet, and Tomato was currently writing "Stellar Transformation," and hadn't even started writing "Panlong," let alone "Swallowed Star."

As for "Mysterious Resurrection," that's ten years from now.

I dare not say that I will be able to perfectly rewrite these classic books, but I will definitely be able to achieve good results.

Especially "Battle Through the Heavens," I've read it countless times, and I even wrote two fanfictions in my previous life. The story is practically imprinted in my mind, so I can write without thinking.

Although online literature is not considered mainstream literature and its income is not as high as that of traditional publishing, it is still quite decent.

The initial royalties may not be much, but they are stable and can increase over time.

After the college entrance examination, if he wants to do something, the royalties can be his first pot of gold.

After borrowing Zhong Muqing's laptop, he spent some time trying it out and found that writing on it was very smooth and could reproduce the original work very well.

Knowing how to type using the Wubi input method, he can write four to five thousand words per hour.

That means you can finish the day's work in just one hour.

In an era where the KKK is so popular, 4K is quite generous.

Occasionally, when I'm in good form, I can play even more.

Therefore, the most reliable option is to write online novels.

It allows one to get involved in literary creation while also generating income quickly.

Once he receives the money, he can tell his mother it's royalties for publishing an article.

In her mother's mind, writing articles was still considered learning, not something that was considered a waste of time.

Although spending an hour a day writing online articles will inevitably affect my studies to some extent.

Fortunately, writing online novels doesn't require too much brainpower, so it can be considered a form of entertainment and relaxation.

In the past two weeks, while preparing his drafts, he also found that the impact on his studies was not as significant as he had imagined.

Choosing the lesser of two evils is the optimal solution.

Studying hard and improving grades will make his mother happy and willing to listen to him.

Then, by earning money through writing articles—a method that wouldn't offend my mother or make her feel like I was wasting my time—I could make her happy and at ease.

After that, if I keep urging my mother to go to the hospital for a check-up, she definitely won't refuse anymore.

perfect!

With this in mind, Lu Jie perked up and immediately opened the author section, registering a pen name.

【chestnut】

In his previous life, he wanted to register this pen name but it was already taken. Sure enough, it was still available in 2008.

He typed the four characters "Battle Through the Heavens" in the title field of his new work.

Then I filled in that classic introduction:

This is a world of battle qi, devoid of flashy magic; only battle qi, cultivated to its peak, exists!

[The ranking system in this book is as follows: Fighter, Fighting Master, Great Fighting Master, Fighting Spirit, Fighting King, Fighting Emperor, Fighting Sect Master, Fighting Venerable, Fighting Saint, Fighting Emperor.]
