As for the issue of update volume and the number of words required for release, Owen Blake will surely handle it for him.

"Henry Carter!"

Henry Carter was running when he suddenly heard a crisp, bell-like voice call out to him from behind. He turned around and saw it was Logan Bennett. Under the dim streetlights of the neighborhood at night, she looked like a sprite who had just stepped out of a painting.

Chapter 7: Crazy Recommendations!

Henry Carter turned back and smiled, "What a coincidence, we meet again." He recalled that when he left, he had checked the time—it was already 11 o'clock. Was she out for a night run too?

"You're out running this late?" Logan Bennett said with a smile, sizing up Henry Carter. She noticed that this boy seemed a little different every time she saw him.

"Something came up and delayed me. I was busy until this late, but now I just can't feel right if I don't run at least once a day, so I got dressed and came out," Henry Carter explained. After all, the performance of the divine book was more important now, and updating was the most basic requirement for a new book to rise, but updating also took up time.

"Yeah, I was delayed by something too, just like you. So, shall we run together?" Logan Bennett said with a smile. She asked very naturally, as if she wasn't afraid of being refused, because very few people would ever turn her down.

"Sure," Henry Carter didn't refuse. Running together wasn't a big deal.

As they were running, Logan Bennett suddenly asked, "I've never seen you run before. Why did you suddenly start?"

Henry Carter had only started running in the past half month.

"If I said it was to save my life, would you believe me?" Henry Carter said, half joking, half serious.

Of course not, she obviously wouldn't believe that. Logan Bennett didn't follow up on that but glanced at him and asked, "I heard our group is going out to have fun. Aren't you planning to go?"

"No, I can't afford it," Henry Carter answered very frankly.

Logan Bennett was taken aback. She thought he would come up with some other excuse, like being busy or his family not letting him go. After all, teenagers care about face, and at fourteen or fifteen, if someone embarrasses you, it's almost expected to get into a fight over it.

At fourteen, it's the age to look back at the playground, where the grass grows and orioles fly, like a sea of light. Time seems to stand at the end of everyone's journey over mountains and rivers, and everyone is still in their youth.

At this moment, a 26-year-old uncle suddenly appeared in Logan Bennett's life, which was bound to feel a bit strange.

Logan Bennett hesitated for a moment. She seemed to want to say she could lend Henry Carter some money, but she knew that would actually hurt his feelings more.

However, things weren't as complicated in Henry Carter's mind as she imagined. Having lived a second life, and already been in his twenties in his previous one, after struggling in society, he realized that face wasn't important at all.

Besides, his so-called lack of money was only temporary. Soon, he would have money—a lot of money, so much that his classmates couldn't even imagine. He could buy an ice cream and toss one away just for show—how extravagant!

He had to admit, when facing this group of junior high students his own age again, he couldn't help but feel a sense of superiority. He didn't think being honest about it would make him lose face.

Logan Bennett smiled gently. "Alright then." For some reason, she felt more and more that the Henry Carter in front of her was quite different from his peers.

...

The next afternoon during class, when Henry Carter opened the Shengshi Chinese Web's mobile app, he suddenly felt something was off, but couldn't quite put his finger on it.

Wait, he closed the app and reopened it, only to find that the app's launch screen had actually changed to the cover of his divine book! Below it was a line: New Literary Trend!

What the heck, even writing a simple web novel makes me a new literary trend?!

When he entered the app, Henry Carter was completely stunned.

New Book Strong Recommendation: Divine Book!

Premium Fantasy: Divine Book!

Famous Authors, Famous Works: Divine Book!

Chief Editor's Pick: Divine Book!

He never expected that after just one day, Divine Book would get four recommendations at once. Even Henry Carter himself felt like he was being bombarded by his own book!

So this is what Owen Blake meant when he told him not to worry!

Other people get one recommendation a week, but he got four in a single day. He did update faster than others, but now it seemed the editor was planning to shorten his new book's cycle and push him to release early with multiple recommendations!

Others might need 4-6 weeks for the new book recommendation period, but he might be done in just two weeks!

Henry Carter quickly opened his messaging app and found Owen Blake: "Editor, you're awesome! Editor, you're amazing!"

"Enough, stop flattering me. The chief editor wanted to push you too. This is all thanks to your own good results."

Henry Carter replied cheerfully, "If I go to Shanghai, I'll treat you, Blake bro, haha."

"Get lost..."

Henry Carter closed the messaging app and thought for a while: Looks like Divine Book has already gotten the attention of Shengshi Chinese Web. The path he carved out for himself was solid.

The author group exploded again: "Did you guys see that?! Yesterday we were saying he might need 500,000 words to get released, but today he got four recommendations at once! They're trying to force him to release early!"

"And they're all great recommendations! Quick, check how his stats are doing?!"
