The supernatural world.

Ten years ago, the supernatural world was the leader in the supernatural category of Huaguo magazine, with many supernatural writers, and the sales volume was far ahead of the same kind of miscellaneous category.

But in recent years, folk ghost story magazines have sprung up, spending a lot of money to poach many great god writers in the supernatural world.

As a result, sales in the supernatural world suffered from a decline in Waterloo.

Although the folk ghost story is just a new supernatural magazine, he has the support of a large consortium and is willing to give money.

Coupled with the support of many great writers, the sales volume is already the champion of magazines in the same category.

Editorial Department of the Supernatural World.

The editor-in-chief, Blue Bird, was slightly disappointed after reading today's submission.

More than a dozen manuscripts are either heavily plagiarized or homogeneous and widespread.

He doesn't understand why the author still has an author to submit the old stalk a few years ago, not to mention him, even the readers have seen enough.

More than a dozen submissions, only three can be passed, two of which are submitted by old authors, there is nothing particularly conspicuous, and the writing is decent, which if it was in the past, this kind of manuscript will basically not be used.

But now it's different, since several great god writers were poached by folk ghost stories, the sales of the supernatural world are declining day by day, and profits can only maintain the normal operation of the magazine.

Some authors have also moved to other places, and now they can still receive manuscripts that can be published, which is already good.

Another manuscript was sent by an author named March, with a very interesting name, called Thousand Forty.

It is written about a businessman surnamed Liu in ancient times, and his family is very rich, but Merchant Liu is a scoundrel and likes to owe money to others and not pay it back, and later the person he owes money to him got a serious illness and died, and Merchant Liu was happy in his heart.

Within a few days, the concubine of this businessman surnamed Liu gave birth to a boy, and he was old enough to have a son, which made Merchant Liu very happy.

That night, businessman Liu had a strange dream, in which his newborn son actually told him, "I have come to ask for a debt."

When he woke up, Merchant Liu was already covered in cold sweat, and he didn't take this matter to heart, he gave birth to a son, and wanted to raise him to grow up, provide him with school, build him a house, and marry a wife, isn't he here to ask for debts?

After some time, the boy had a serious illness, and after spending a lot of money, it still did not get better, and after calculating, it cost three thousand one hundred yuan.

Liu Shangshang thought of the strange dream, hugged the boy and said to himself: "It's almost enough to spend four thousand, your illness should be cured!"

As soon as he finished saying this, the boy in his arms suddenly let out a "giggle" laugh, and then his face changed greatly, he raised his head and stared, and immediately lost his breath.

After handling the funeral for the child, businessman Liu realized that the child really came to ask for debts.

It cost another 900 for the funeral, and the 3,000 that the child spent on seeing a doctor before, adding up to exactly 4,000.

From the perspective of a professional editor, this is not a ghost story in the strict sense of the word, but it can benefit people a lot and make people understand a lot of truth.

That's why Jade Bird decided to hire this article.

The author was soon contacted by mail.

"Hello, I am the editor-in-chief of the supernatural world, Blue Bird, your article has been accepted, see the information, please contact me as soon as possible to discuss remuneration and other matters, my TT number is 853745023"

I picked up my glasses and rubbed my eyes, intending to rest for a while.

At that moment, the editor pushed the door open and strode in, his face full of excitement.

"Boss, great news, I've dug up the world!"

"What? You mean, the world has come to our supernatural world. ”

The blue bird had a shocked face, the world was a famous god-level supernatural author back then, the people and ghosts he portrayed were lifelike, and the ghost stories he told were novel, not to mention, but also very terrifying, making people look at it and get goosebumps.

It is even rumored that a reader went insane after reading the stories written by the world and was finally diagnosed as a schizophrenic.

Let's not say whether this rumor is true or not, the ghost stories written in the world are really good.

At the beginning, the world also relied on its own strength to support a magazine.

But later, for some reason, the world suddenly closed the pen and withdrew.

The magazine also dropped sales with the withdrawal of the world, and finally closed down.

If the world is really willing to come to the supernatural world, then Blue Bird believes that the magazine sales of the supernatural world will definitely return to the peak.

"Boss, really, I contacted the world, he promised to come to our supernatural world to publish articles, he gave me a manuscript, and I will upload it to you immediately!"

"Good, good!" "Bluebird couldn't hold back his excited look, and even the hand that clicked the mouse trembled.

It's just that after reading the story written by the world, a trace of disappointment appeared on the blue bird's face.

Just this ghost story, compared to the world's god-level writers, it's really substandard!

The short story of more than 2,000 words has no highlights at all and is bland.

"How much does the world cost?"

"Two thousand words. Seeing that the blue bird frowned, the ash hurriedly added: "Boss, this price is definitely not high, don't forget that the world is a great god author, as long as we do a good job of publicity before the next issue of the supernatural world is published, sales will definitely rise!"

Bluebird nodded: "Okay, we want this ghost story, and I'll leave all the other publicity work to you." ”

"Okay boss, I believe that there is a world with us, and in less than three issues, folk ghost stories will definitely be trampled under our feet. ”

"Well, I hope so!"

After a short conversation between the two, Ash walked out of the office and made a phone call: "World, the editor-in-chief has agreed to your price, haha! I'll just say, don't say two thousand words, even if you add more, the editor-in-chief will agree, after all, you are a god!"

"Ash, thank you for this, I have time to eat together!"

"Okay, that's it, hang up first!"

......

At the same time, Zhang Xiaoqiang, who had just finished updating the bad guy, was about to go to bed, and when he saw the email replied by the supernatural world, he quickly added the TT number of the blue bird.

After the two talked, it was determined that Zhang Xiaoqiang's article would be paid 300 words per 1,000 words.

Zhang Xiaoqiang was secretly surprised, the price given by the magazine was really high, he was just a newcomer, but he got such a high price, if it was an online novel, the price of a newcomer would be high for a thousand words and twenty.

Then Bluebird sent him a form with his name, bank card and other information, and told him that within a week, he would receive the manuscript fee.

Zhang Xiaoqiang said thank you repeatedly.

One thousand words, three hundred, this is placed in an online novel, it must be a god-level treatment.

However, it can't be compared like this, because the articles on the supernatural world are all short stories, ranging from 1,000 to 5,000 words.

And online novels, often millions or even tens of millions of words, the two cannot be the same at all.
