Chapter 18: Cultivation

About a week after meeting Zhong Chuhong and them, one day Fang Wanshan was sleeping in the classroom, and Stephen Chow was very excited to find him with a middle-aged uncle with glasses, and he didn't look at the arithmetic teacher who was lecturing on the podium at all. Under the gaze of the whole class, I saw Stephen Chow shouting excitedly:

"Brother Wan, Panlong is going to be published! Panlong is going to be published!"

The arithmetic teacher had a black line on the podium, Fang Wanshan was also very embarrassed and said sorry to the teacher, so he whispered that something was wrong, and when the teacher waved helplessly, he ran out to stop Zhou Xingchi, who was running to the classroom, and took them to a relatively remote corridor, Fang Wanshan turned around and asked Zhou Xingchi what was the situation.

At this time, Stephen Chow was already very uncomfortable, and when he heard Fang Wanshan ask himself, he immediately said loudly:

"Panlong's novel, Oriental Daily is about to publish it, this is the editor-in-chief Pan who found my house last night. ”

Now the school is in class, this is the fourth floor, it is very quiet, Zhou Xingchi is so loud, Fang Wanshan is afraid of noisy other teachers who are in class, and he feels whispered:

"Be quiet, be quiet. ”

Editor Pan was more sensible, and whispered like a human spirit:

"Classmate Fang, hello, the contemptible surname is Pan, is the editor of Oriental Daily, last week this classmate Zhou sent the copy of "Panlong" to our newspaper, the editor-in-chief felt that it was very potential after reading it, and planned to buy it, what do you think. ”

Editor Pan was actually given a death order by Chief Editor Zhu, requiring him to take down a novel, because this novel clearly describes a magical world, whether it is the world's humanities or class, and also has a clear division of the Western magical cultivation system. Although the writing of the novel is very naΓ―ve, it is flawed.

Fang Wanshan is actually very uninterested in Oriental Daily, there are many reborn entertainment articles in this era in his current mobile phone, all pointing out their relationship with Wanwan, they started by harming people's fans, especially the latter one, Fang Wanshan sentenced them to death in the future, and now their own power has not yet been formed, so let's leave it at that. So Fang Wanshan said:

"Hello Editor Pan, I'm glad to hear that the novel has been loved by your newspaper, does your newspaper want to buy it all out?"

When Pan Daoyuan heard Fang Wanshan ask himself, he was still very confident that he would win this 15-year-old kid, so he said proudly:

"Yes, our newspaper plans to spend 500,000 yuan to buy the copyright of the novel "Panlong", what do you think?"

Stephen Chow's eyes straightened when he heard 500,000, but Fang Wanshan couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart, he really regarded himself as a child, so he said:

"Editor-in-Chief Pan, I heard that the newcomer manuscript fee of the newspaper now is 30 yuan per thousand words, and "Panlong" has at least 3 million words, and even the manuscript fee for a complete novel is more than yours. ”

In fact, Fang Wanshan himself doesn't know how much the manuscript fee is now, but he still saw others in the novel that it was about 50 in the early 80s, and now it should be at least 30.

Pan Daoyuan was secretly surprised that this kid was not easy to deal with, although he said that the manuscript fee was still 30, but it was about the same. Then he said:

"Although your imagination is good in this novel, there are too many hard wounds, and our newspaper needs to hire someone to adapt it in the past, and this also needs money. ”

But Fang Wanshan didn't really want to deal with him more, so he said directly:

"Since Editor-in-Chief Pan said so, I'd better wait for what other newspapers say, the bottom line on my side is that less than 50 yuan per thousand words is exempt from talking, and everything published still belongs to me. ”

As soon as Pan Daoyuan heard this, he and the newspaper had exceeded the maximum price he had given him too much, so he could reply that he would go back and ask for instructions, and left. After Stephen Chow waited for him to leave, he kept gesturing a hand behind Fang Wanshan, meaning that it was 500,000. Fang Wanshan didn't pay much attention to him, so he asked him curiously to deliver those newspapers, but he didn't expect them to directly deliver all the top 5 newspapers in Xiangjiang, but it was only a week later that Oriental Daily came to him.

Fang Wanshan didn't pay much attention to it, 500,000 was not much for him, and he was not in a hurry at all. In this way, two days later, Stephen Chow brought a little old man over, after introducing the old man's surname Zhang, is the chief editor of the "Sin Chew Daily" newspaper, this time the old man did not say to buy the book of Wanshan below, but only asked to publish Panlong's novel, the bid was 20 yuan per thousand words, and there was a proviso that the novel could not be published during the publication period.

Fang Wanshan did not agree to such a right price, and besides, in his impression, "Sin Chew Daily" was not as good as "Oriental Daily", although it was going downhill. In the afternoon, the editor Pan came over again, this time Fang Wanshan told him the news of "Sin Chew Daily", but he didn't say the price, Pan Daoyuan was a little anxious, and directly offered 30 yuan for 1,000 words, with no other additional conditions.

Fang Wanshan replied that he wanted to reply in a few days, and the next day, Pan Daoyuan raised the offer to 35 yuan, and Fang Wanshan signed the contract, but asked not to revise the novel. Pan Daoyuan hurriedly agreed, the Panlong that had been modified by Stephen Chow and them was basically completed, and it didn't cost to find someone, but it was just to reduce the price.

Fang Wanshan knew that it was a difficult time for Oriental Daily to be so desperate for this novel, but later generations also showed that they would not sign it to him, and they were also alive and well later. If you have a high price, you want to sell it at a good price, and then talk about it when you are ready to do it. The two sides signed the contract worth about 1.1 million yuan on the third day, and the money was given to Fang Wanshan in three months, 500,000 yuan in the first month, and 300,000 yuan per month in the next two months.

On Monday, March 18, 1977, the Oriental Daily officially began serializing Fang Wanshan's revised "Panlong", with a pen name floating in the wind, and serialized three chapters a day. The beginning of Panlong can only be said to be good, now Xiangjiang is still the world of classic martial arts, and it didn't cause any repercussions in front of him a few days ago, but after the old man, the golden hand indicator of later generations, slowly began to become a little popular, and the number of people watching it began to increase.

On April 1, 1977, when "Panlong" began to be serialized to the 4th episode, the novel law cultivation system, and all kinds of strange magical world monsters began to be displayed in front of people's eyes, this novel finally became popular, and after becoming a god, even literary people began to comment on this novel in the newspaper, and at the same time, the pen name of Drifting with the Wind began to attract the attention of Xiangjiang people, I remember more than a year ago, the queen Teresa Teng's two new songs "Childhood" and "The Long Road of Life" It was under this pseudonym that other newspapers began to ask if they were the same person.

"Oriental Daily" did not obtain Fang Wanshan's consent, and directly said in the newspaper that the author of "Panlong" was only a secondary 3 student, and it would definitely not be the same person. Although Fang Wanshan's name was not reported, Fang Wanshan was also very dissatisfied, so he called to protest and said that he did not want follow-up reports.

Speaking of Fang Wanshan, after getting the first money, he took out 100,000 of it and gave it to those people in the Chinese language group, and Stephen Chow alone got more than 20,000. After making him happy for a while, Fang Wanshan didn't find out that he had spent the money indiscriminately, and it should be handed over to Zhou's mother for safekeeping.

Fang Wanshan has had a very comfortable life in the past few months, since she became friends with Zhong Chuhong, she has invited her out from time to time to eat some snacks and watch movies, and the relationship between the two has become better and better. It's just that Fang Wanshan is still powerless about the Zhong family's small tailor shop at present.

The time soon came to May, "Panlong" has become popular, one day, Fang Wanshan cheekily went to Zhong Chuhong to watch a movie in Yau Ma Tei, after a time of Fang Wanshan's instructions, Xiao Zhou did not pay attention to the big mouth in front of Zhong Chuhong and the others revealed that Fang Wanshan was the author of "Panlong", and "Childhood" and other two songs were also created by him, Zhong Chuhong began to accept Fang Wanshan's invitation. In the movie theater, the two were drinking bubble tea and watching the big movie on the screen.

The mobile phone in Fang Wanshan's head began to ring, Fang Wanshan peeked at Zhong Chuhong, and found that she was watching the movie seriously, so he began to open the mobile phone in his mind to check it. The account's wish value has reached 10,000, and it can be talked to as 1 point of space-time energy, and at the same time, the system prompts Fang Wanshan to increase Fang Wanshan's level to level 1 because the host has reached 10,000 and has a more than devout believer.

Fang Wanshan was confused, Fang Wanshan didn't expect that the power value would reach 10,000 so quickly, it turned out that Fang Wanshan originally thought that the popularity of the two songs would increase significantly, because when "Panlong" was shown to his classmates and friends around him, it also increased for a while, but he didn't expect that it had been almost a year since the song was released, and the streets and alleys were singing, but the power value was gone. Fang Wanshan was basically about to give up, but this time, since the serialization of "Panlong", Fang Wanshan's willingness has begun to have many strange people contributing, and suddenly there are more of them, especially in the days after he became a god, and it has skyrocketed wildly. Fang Wanshan didn't understand the reason at all. It's easy to say that the power value has skyrocketed to 10,000 points, but what the hell is this piety, isn't the highest in the relationship a diehard? The piety that came from there will not be a god in the future?

Fang Wanshan felt that it should be a hidden attribute of the system, Fang Wanshan observed through the past few years, and found that it was difficult to increase the willingness value provided by a person to 20 points, so many friends around him, the highest was Du Zhou before, but when he was 18 o'clock, he basically couldn't improve it, the only two in the past five years exceeded 20 points, one reached 20 points in elementary school, and now he is in the same school as Fang Yuanyuan. is a big man who has been in the same class with Fang Wanshan for three years in middle school, he is stupid and strong, and he doesn't remember what his big name is Fang Wanshan, anyway, when Fang Wanshan saw him in a special center, he treated him better and planned to let him train him in the bodyguard.

Fang Wanshan didn't dwell too much on this, anyway, it was a good thing, looking at the pitiful 5 points of energy from the energy points, Fang Wanshan didn't rush to exchange the power points for energy points, he thought that his level had increased now, and the service side should also open some functions. After Fang Wanshan opened the service interface, he found that in addition to the communication function, a new icon appeared there, and there was an explanation of the level unlocking here.

The new function is very simple, the name is cultivation, which is to provide energy cultivation and change the host's physique. The specific effect is not said, but it is expensive to die, and it does not take an hour to digest 1000 wish power points. Fang Wanshan looked at his 10,000 points of wish power and wanted to try it, but now was not the time, Zhong Chuhong was next to him. Fang Wanshan could only look at the upgrade conditions, and sure enough, he found a huge pit inside, and the future upgrades all need to consume wish power points, which has nothing to do with energy points, and at the same time, the number of pious people must be met, Fang Wanshan can only see the first 5 levels at present, and that consumption is astronomical.

Level 1 has a cost of 0, but must reach 10,000 points and 1 devout

Level 2 Cost is 1,000,000 Wish Power Points 1,000,000 10 Devotional People

Level 3 Cost is 100 million Power Points 100 million 100 Devouts

Level 4 Cost is 10 billion Wish Power is 10 billion 1000 Devouts

Level 5 The cost is 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 pious

Looking at such an astronomical amount, Fang Wanshan was very suspicious of his lifetime to reach 3 years, he already had no desires, Fang Wanshan was completely dead. I don't know when the movie is over, Fang Wanshan doesn't have the heart to accompany the goddess to go shopping or anything now, after sending Zhong Chuhong home absentmindedly, Fang Wanshan immediately flew home, the Fang family has now changed houses, originally Fang Wanshan wanted to buy a villa, and now the family is not short of that money, but Fang's father Fang Yuansheng did not agree, so he bought a few apartments in Kowloon Bay nearby, and connected them together, Fang Wanshan's room is now very large.

As soon as Fang Wanshan got home, he closed the door and began to sit on the bed, Fang Wanshan thought that cultivation should be in this position, so he clicked on the cultivation function, providing 1000 points for 1 hour of cultivation. As soon as he started, Wan Shan felt sweating all over his body, heat was his only feeling, Fang Wanshan felt that his whole body was roasting in the fire, and the fire was burning in his body. I don't know how long it took, Fang Wanshan passed out a few minutes before the start, Fang Wanshan woke up in a daze, feeling super tired, his whole body was greasy, and he looked at the sheets everywhere. Fang Wanshan lay down like this and waited for himself to recover a little strength, then got up with difficulty and went to the bathroom to take a shower, covered in mud. But Fang Wanshan couldn't manage this, his stomach was like a person who had been hungry for a few days, Fang Wanshan immediately went to the refrigerator to find food, after eating some cold dishes in the refrigerator, grandma saw it, and felt very sorry for this grandson, so she didn't let Fang Wanshan continue to eat, and went to the kitchen to order a big bowl of noodles for Fang Wanshan.

Fang Wanshan was comfortable and full, only to find that it was ten o'clock in the evening. I only heard my grandmother muttering there, "I went to your room at night to call you, and you shouldn't go down, thinking that you were playing outside, and now you are hungry like this for a meal, and if you are not full, grandma will go and cook something for you." ”

Fang Wanshan hurriedly said, "Grandma, you're full." ”

Grandma continued to chant there: "Ah Sheng and the two of them have been crazy for the past few years, they don't come home so late every day, and they don't care about a few cubs, they know how to make money every day." ”

Fang Wanshan felt that his grandmother had a lot of resentment towards his father, and hurriedly said: "Grandma, we are all older, you see that I am both 15 years old, and I don't know why I am so hungry today." ”

Grandma didn't listen to what Fang Wanshan said, so she went back to the room to rest, Fang Wanshan didn't have any way, the old man is 69 this year, and he will be 70 soon, and now the family is generally rarely at home, and they all arrive home very late. The eldest brother and sister-in-law are next door, and the sister-in-law has a 4-year-old niece and a little nephew who has just completed the moon, but she hired a nanny. After thinking about these for a while, Fang Wanshan had no way to solve it, so he began to feel his body, and he couldn't see anything else, but Fang Wanshan felt that he was in a good mental state, and his body felt a lot lighter.

Fang Wanshan was a little disappointed, thinking that cultivation could produce some special abilities, so he went to the fitness machine next to him to test it, Fang Wanshan felt that his strength had increased, and his endurance had improved, but nothing else had been found for the time being. Fang Wanshan opened the cultivation function, and there was a cooldown time on it, showing that he could only cultivate once a month. There is a record on the side, indicating that Fang Wanshan's physique has increased by 0.5. Fang Wanshan was very disdainful, and it was so obvious that it was only 0.5. There was a "?" on the side of the cultivation, Fang Wanshan was already familiar with the style of the system, and all things had to be tried before prompts appeared.

The cultivation prompt explains that the physique of each race is different, and the upper limit is also different, Fang Wanshan's upper limit through cultivation physique is 100 points, and Fang Wanshan doesn't know what his initial amount is, but the cultivation instructions say that when there is no effect through cultivation, it is the upper limit, and the more the cultivation effect goes, the worse the effect will be.
