Chapter 52: The New Yorker
That night, Wang gradually updated the fifty chapters of "Arcane Throne" on the website, and the number of words reached more than 100,000.
Truth be told, that's not the most on the site.
After all, many authors take the full manuscript that has been rejected by the publisher and post it online.
But considering that Wang gradually published the first volume of "I Am an Archmage" and "Arcane Throne" in two months, he is already a well-known best-selling author.
And those best-selling authors who write the outline for one year, write the main text for three years, delete and reduce it for another year, and finally scrape together hundreds of thousands of words, have never seen this?
Not only was George Martin devastated that night, but even some other best-selling authors who followed the site felt that the three views were broken.
It was in the surprise of these people that the plot of "Arcane Throne" officially began.
The "Periodic Table of Chemical Elements" shocked the great magicians of the Otherworld, who possessed great power and noble status.
By analyzing the "special theory of relativity", the protagonist has begun to acquire the power of the humanoid nuclear bomb.
"God's, it's so TM fun", "The combination of magic and technology, cool!" and other comments filled the comment area.
Lovers of fantasy novels, who have always regarded "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Hobbit" as classics, feel the wonderful charm of reality when it is imprinted into fantasy for the first time.
This made them want to stop, and sighed: "The author's heavenly spirit cover has been picked, and the brain hole is infinite!"
While frantic payments, reading...
After reading the current chapter, these readers, who have been refreshing the pages all night, are inexplicably excited.
They began to discuss the plot frantically everywhere they could, predicting what the protagonist would do next.
And Wang Yan, who also didn't sleep all night, could only be pulled by Tom and Rosie to see the selected office location.
"If I continue like this, I will have to die of overwork one day. Wang gradually sighed as he walked into a selected office building.
This office building is located in Queens, New York, near Flushing.
There are Queens College, Kennedy High School, etc. in the surrounding area.
Of course, in such a high-end place, the price is certainly not cheap.
Therefore, Wang gradually and they are ready to lease the top floor of the office building, the 8th floor.
Because there is no elevator, the rent can be more than half cheaper than other floors.
Wang gradually looked at Dorsey who was following him, as well as several computer science students, panting and puffing.
After thinking for a while, he said: "You are too short of exercise, and the company chose to work here so that you can strengthen your physical fitness in the process of commuting to work in the future." ”
Dorsey and the others looked at Wang Yan, who was full of sincerity, and the corners of their mouths were moved to the back of their heads.
The entire eighth floor is about 300 square meters, and only desks, computers, etc., should be enough.
But Doshi asked, "Where are our servers?"
Wang gradually glanced at the other party and asked, "Can we afford a server?"
Mr. Dorsey was stunned, then shook his head helplessly.
"For the time being, let's rent a Cisco server. Wang gradually walked to the center of the room and said, "The entire company has only three departments for the time being. ”
"Dorsey, you're in charge of the computer network department, which mainly provides technical support and can recruit 4 employees. ”
"Tom, you're in charge of copyright promotion, and you're the only one at the moment. ”
"I'm in charge of the content of the website, and I need to hire a couple of editors. ”
"That's the company's current framework. ”
"As for the purchase of office supplies, the two of you will discuss it, can you?"
Tom and Dorsey looked at each other, then nodded.
After Wang gradually handed the two men a check for $100,000 and told them to have proof of shopping, they left the place and returned to the apartment.
But when he was out taking a taxi, he was pushed by the person behind him and wanted to snatch his taxi.
I also feel the atmosphere of the financial district, which is different from Brooklyn and the Bronx.
Relying on his strong physique and fairly agile hands and feet, Wang gradually dragged the middle-aged man out of the taxi.
The taxi driver boasted, "You look like a good New Yorker." ”
Wang gradually scratched his head and responded with a smile: "It's all so good that you have been cultivated here." ”
Ten minutes later, he returned to his apartment.
I had a casual bite to eat, and then I was ready for a good night's sleep.
Just when Wang gradually was lying on the bed.
The doorbell rang again.
who
Who is TM?
The king gritted his teeth and got out of bed and walked towards the door.
When the door opened, golden hair appeared in front of Wang Yan's eyes.
This woman, dressed in a similar student uniform and combing two braids to pretend to be tender, is Lily?
Wang gradually rubbed his eyes, momentarily incredulous.
Lily, however, had already walked into the door and said to him, "Jean's enrollment has just been completed. ”
"Thank you, thank you for everything you did for me. ”
As the words fell, Lily raised her head to look at Wang Yan.
I saw that Wang gradually stared at himself.
A little shy, and a little proud, she bent down and pulled the over-the-knee cotton socks on her legs.
Wang gradually swallowed hard, and said with a little stammer: "No... You're welcome. ”
"Listen to Lynne, you're now not only a best-selling author, you've built a website. Lily bowed her head and said, "I, there is nothing else that can help you. ”
"So, I'll see if I can help you with some housework. ”
Wang gradually looked at the unseemly apartment that had been ruined by three men, and couldn't help but say, "That's just great." ”
Then, he admonished, "Don't touch the computer." ”
Then he turned and walked away.
Lily watched as Wang gradually yawned and walked back to the bedroom, closing the door.
Suddenly, a string of question marks popped up in my head.
Do you really think of yourself as a babysitter?
She sat on the couch and thought, hesitating for a moment.
Finally, he gritted his silver teeth and said to himself: "It's not the first time, what are you reserved?"
Then, she took out the breath freshener, sprayed it, and went into the bedroom as well.
A moment later.
There was a sound from the bedroom.
The so-called: If the relationship between the two is long, it will not be too late to come.
When I become famous, I will take your festival to pay tribute to it.
......
I don't know if women have a tendency to worship people with higher status than them.
Anyway, Wang gradually felt that Lily's performance this time was different from the past.
When Lily got up and actually went to clean up the house.
As he pondered the relationship, he fell asleep.
And at this moment, in the company of Zip2 in Silicon Valley, there is a handsome man who has logged on to the website that has been very popular recently, and began to read the second volume of "Arcane Throne".
Moments later, the young man reads to the paid chapter.
"Huh," he said to himself, "I still have to use a visa? ”
"Can you pay in an easier way?"
After a while, his eyes lit up, and he logged into eBay and Amazon, which have been on the radar of several major venture capital firms recently.
"None of the easy payment methods. He mused, "This, this is simply amazing!"
