658 Going Premium

Zhang Zian wasn't surprised to see Pi's real name unlocked. However, the upgrade alert was a surprise.

Pi's first update occurred when the novel reached 10,000 Favorites, and it was promoted from Elite to Premier Elfin. It's second update occurred when the novel reached 50,000 Favorites. He had no idea how the upgrade criteria was determined.　

As a matter of fact, Pi's novel was first released on Qidian, but it could be found on other websites, just slightly later. Therefore, the actual number of people reading Pi's novel could be more than 50,000.　　

He was glad that Pi appeared in China, a country with a large population. If it had appeared in a small country or a large country with few people, it would've taken forever for it to collect enough Strength of Faith. Pi would've disappeared before that could happen.

Clearly, upgrades became harder as the levels increased. The next upgrade might be far down the road, since a novel about pets had a limited population of readers.
