Xiao Ning could no longer hear the discussions among passersby, and even if she did, she wouldn't care.
On the main road of the county town, where traffic flowed busily, the two luxury cars, one in front and one behind, seemed like outcasts. The vehicles in front and behind kept a long distance away from them and dared not approach.
If it gets scratched, my underwear will be ruined.
Half an hour later, Xiao Ning arrived at the Huan Da Di Jing Guan Lan upscale villa community located at the foot of Yangtiangang Mountain in the north of the city.
After swiping the access card, the gate opened, and two luxury cars drove into the community. A few minutes later, they stopped in front of a detached villa.
After dismissing the driver, Xiao Ning drove the Lamborghini into the parking lot, and then drove off in his newly bought Porsche.
"Dami, how much money do I have left in my account?"
After leaving the residential area, Xiao Ning asked.
"Master, the total amount of funds in your bank account is 83,751,300 yuan!" Da Mi's voice came through the door.
Xiao Ning's expression remained unchanged. He instructed, "Dami, help me choose the most suitable investment method to maximize profits. Then, you can use the 80 million in the card for investment, and keep the remainder for my daily expenses!"
Rice happily said, "Thank you for your trust, Master. Rice will never let you down!"
Dami was overjoyed to receive Xiao Ning's instructions, as if this was the very reason for its existence.
"Dami, how's my short video going? Tell me!"
Xiao Ning thought of the short video that he had asked Da Mi to edit and upload before, and a thought struck him. He then asked Da Mi.
"Master, it has been an hour and a half since the video was uploaded. Currently, on various websites, the video with the most likes has 28,000, and the video with the fewest likes has 19,000. The video with the most comments has 5,143, and the video with the fewest comments has 2,473."
Rice's voice came through, and then it said somewhat aggrievedly, "Master, don't you want to know the data after Rice uploaded the book it created?"
From Da Mi's perspective, it seemed that Xiao Ning didn't care, which made Da Mi, who was extremely concerned about this, feel very wronged.
"The data for the short videos is pretty good. But, Da Mi, I was just about to ask you that. Since that's the case, why don't you tell me about the results?"
Xiao Ning couldn't help but laugh. This artificial intelligence is becoming more and more intelligent. It has even developed human-like emotions. It can even know how to be happy and wronged.
"Yes, Master!"
Rice stopped crying and started laughing, becoming happy in the blink of an eye.
"It has been more than 4 hours since the new book 'Rebirth in the City: Cultivating Immortals' was uploaded. Currently, it has 157 favorites, 97 recommendation votes, 15 comments in the reader circle, and 26 comments in this chapter!"
Xiao Ning was quite surprised when he heard the data reported by Da Mi.
Although Xiao Ning had never written a book, he knew some of the details.
For most new authors, when their books are still short, getting ten favorites a day is considered a very good result.
Only established authors, whose previous books have garnered a large readership, can get their books added to their collections by simply making a call in a book club.
Of course, it goes without saying that top-tier authors often have thousands of favorites a day.
It's important to know that Xiao Ning's author account is a new one, and it's the first day of uploading a new book. There's no exposure from recommendation slots, no established fans from veteran authors, no paid rankings, and no packages purchased from bots. Yet, it still garnered over 150 favorites within 4 hours.
"This is outrageous!"
"What a great start!"
"It's quite possible that it will become a huge hit!"
"Perhaps I should pay more attention to online literature!"
This was the first thought that arose in Xiao Ning's mind.
Dami was right; he didn't really value online novels.
After all, with only a junior high school education, my level of knowledge is limited.
Xiao Ning didn't think he was cut out for that, so he didn't even consider it.
However, with rice available now, perhaps it's actually possible to earn the title of an online novel author.
Moreover, online novels can generate a steady stream of income. If a book is well-written and becomes a hit, one can basically retire early.
As long as there are still subscribers, the royalties will be paid out.
As you can see, works like Tomato's *Swallowing the Starry Sky*, Tang Jia San Shao's *Douluo Continent*, the ominous *Covering the Sky* in his later years, and Mao Ni's *Joy of Life*, etc., have been completed for nearly ten years, yet they still dominate the top 100 of the best-selling list on Q.
The monthly royalties are at least 100,000 yuan, truly a model of living off a single book for life.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ning smiled and encouraged Dami, "Well done, Dami, keep it up!"
"By the way, Rice, since we have a lot of drafts saved up, you could organize an extra chapter event. For example, you could add an extra chapter for every certain number of new favorites or recommendation votes you receive each day, to motivate readers!"
He recalled how authors often held extra chapter events in the past, and said to Da Mi, "Of course, you can figure out the specifics of how to do it yourself!"
Rice was overjoyed and said happily, "Master's suggestion is excellent, Rice will do it immediately!"

Li Yundong is a 28-year-old single man who dropped out of vocational high school and works as a game booster. He's a total couch potato.
That day, after finishing his work, he left his bedroom, went to the living room, took a bottle of soda from the refrigerator, gulped it down, and let out a long burp.
"By the way, I wonder if the author has updated yet?"
Sitting on the sofa, Li Yunli took out her phone and opened the Diaanniang app, only to find that several books on the bookshelf had not been updated yet.
