Davo Manor.

Two days later.

Adam, a scientific tool man, drove back to New York.

"Adam, call back, your phone, no, it's mine, it's almost bursting. ”

As soon as I arrived at the 520 apartment, I heard Monica shout a little frantically.

"Who?"

Adam wondered.

Editor-in-Chief of Random House. ”

Monica said manically: "I told him that you have something to go out, and he asks ten phone calls a day, and he still doesn't let people live?"

"Don't get excited, I'll be right back. ”

Adam picked up the phone and called Jack Cerf, the editor-in-chief of Random House, "Jack, it's me, is there anything wrong with me in such a hurry?" ”

Hanging up, Adam got up and prepared to leave.

“hello？！”

Monica stopped Adam and said frantically, "Shouldn't you tell me what he's looking for you?"

"He's a hell of a killer!"

Adam smiled wryly, "He came to me for the publication of the second part of the Lord of Mysteries. ”

"Whew. ”

When Monica heard this, the whole person was comfortable, got out of the way, and complained: "It's over if you say no, and I don't need to tell me about it, because I can't eat or sleep well." ”

"I'm sorry. ”

Adam apologized: "I left him the phone here before, and I will ask him to stop calling here this time." ”

"Actually, it doesn't matter. ”

Monica smiled embarrassedly: "He called your apartment phone and couldn't get through, so he found me here, I just couldn't stand his ink, he refused to tell me anything, and he kept calling to urge." ”

Random House.

Office of the Editor-in-Chief.

"Our great writer is here, please take a seat, tea or drink?"

Jack Cerf was very welcoming.

"Tea will do. ”

Adam embraced this enthusiasm.

Because that's what he deserves.

Whoever can bring benefits is the big guy, this is a truth that cannot be broken.

"Linda, serve tea, serve good tea. ”

Jack immediately pressed the intercom and instructed the secretary.

"Congratulations, the second edition of 100,000 copies of the Lord of Mystery has been sold out, and the follow-up feedback from various channels is very positive, and we are ready to release the third edition of 500,000 copies, and the whole rice is fully distributed. ”

Jack smiled: "On the side of the Dark Horse Company, the sales of the comics of the Lord of Mystery are also extremely hot, and more film and television production companies have tried to contact us. ”

"Don't talk about film and television copyrights for the time being. ”

Adam was very satisfied with this, thought for a while and said: "The current special effects are not enough to show the world of the Lord of Mysteries well, so let's wait, and the sales of 100,000 copies are not the same concept as those of 500,000, 1 million, and 5 million copies, let's wait for the number of copies to come up." ”

"It's fine. ”

Naturally, Jack understands this.

The reason why he mentioned it was also with the mentality of giving it a try, if the deal was promoted, the money given to him by the film and television production alone would be really fragrant.

After all, it takes a lot of time for the Master of Mystery to release volumes and the development of special effects technology, and when that time comes, who knows if he will still be in power.

But he's also a smart guy and knows how to do it in moderation.

When Adam first came to the door, he directly broke the second-hand dealer's means of making bad money.

It's okay to mention it, but if you are too enthusiastic or even unrelenting, you are a fool.

The Lord of Mystery's sales are very good, the expected earnings have skyrocketed, and he has already registered with the company, which annoys Adam at this time, and he is definitely the unlucky.

"Adam, is the second part of the Lord of Mysteries finished?"

"Not yet. ”

Adam shook his head.

"That has to be hurryed. ”

Jack urged: "The release of new books has a great effect on the promotion of old books, we have made a series of publicity plans, but we are waiting for your second part, when will it be delivered?"

"Ugh. ”

Adam thought for a moment, "Before the summer break?"

"No way!"

Jack flatly denied: "That's too late, do you know how good the situation is now? It would be a waste not to strike while the iron is hot, and many of your loyal fans are writing to us, strongly urging you to publish the second part as soon as possible, and even some extreme fans have asked us for your address, saying that they want to come to your door for advice." ”

"You didn't give it, did you?"

Adam was startled.

In his previous life, he had heard of sending blades to urge changes, but it was all a joke.

But this is the country of rice, the country of happiness and freedom, extreme fans say that they want to come to the door to ask for advice, that's really not a joke.

"Of course it is impossible to give. ”

Jack shook his head and said: "But I advise you to submit the manuscript and send the book as soon as possible, otherwise the fans who are in a hurry may really come to you, even if we don't provide the address, but they have great powers, and they may not be able to find you if they really want to find you." ”

"Okay. ”

The corners of Adam's mouth twitched, and although he knew that Jack was exaggerating, he still decided to speed up the progress.

Now his endurance has reached the realm of your show, and he is still energetic and energetic without sleeping for a few nights.

It's just that the salted fish habit he developed in his previous life has always affected him, making him unmotivated to code a few thousand words a day.

Isn't it fragrant to read and study, to play hunting games, to chat with friends, and to fight with goblins?

However, thinking about the recent period of time, the expenses of buying a car, buying a forest hut modification, buying a gun, buying medical equipment, and a comprehensive upgrade of clothing, food, housing and transportation, etc., are really like money.

If you don't make money, it's really a bit of a sense of urgency.

As a result, it seemed that his salted fish days were going to be gone forever.

Leaving Random House, returning to apartment 520, and telling the story, everyone's eyes straightened, especially Rachel.

"Do you want to reprint 500,000 copies? I remember the last time you published 100,000 copies, you got a royalty of 500,000 copies, right? 500,000 copies, isn't that 2.5 million?"

"It's about the same, but it's not exactly 2.5 million, and there's still a fraction of it. ”

Adam explained.

"That's a lot of money. ”

"Is it really so profitable to write a book?"

"Why don't I have the talent to write books? ”

The crowd was full of emotion.

"No way!"

Rachel suddenly stood up and exclaimed in shock: "I'm also a writer, and I want to be famous and make a lot of money, so I'm going to write a book now." ”

After saying that, he slipped into the bedroom and went to create.

Adam is not optimistic about this, it is really Rachel who has no perseverance at all, don't look so excited now, it is because he was stimulated by Adam's huge income, and when he woke up from sleep, he found that she was not writing smoothly, and he definitely began to fish again.

Three o'clock in the morning.

Heather woke up in a daze, found that his chest was empty, this was an experience he had never had since he was with Adam, he was very unaccustomed, he closed his eyes and reached out to touch it, there was nothing, and he immediately opened his eyes.

"Adam?"

Heather called, seeing that no one answered, a ray of light came in through the crack in the door, rubbing his eyes and opening the bedroom door, he saw that the living room light was on, and a figure was typing at the desk.

Da! Da! Da!

Heather listened for a while, and suddenly stopped sleepy......
