Chapter 025: Thirty Million Words
"Master Yang, please leave this chiming bell to you!"
"It's easy to say, just come and get it at this time tomorrow. ”
"Okay, I'm sorry for you. ”
After handing over the deposit of 100 wen and taking the certificate of submitting the repair, Su Yan left the self-striking bell repair shop and prepared to go to Baiyi Pavilion to continue to receive the task of copying books.
Although he plans to deepen the profession of introducing readers in the future, he can't really do nothing until he makes money by attracting readers.
Although his savings were enough for him to use for a long time, he could concentrate on cultivation without doing anything these days, and only wait for four days later to participate in the training course for introducing readers.
But if he really had to practice for seven or eight hours a day, he really couldn't do it!
If he could cultivate seven or eight hours a day now, then in his previous life, he would have been able to take the initiative to study for so long every day after the holidays, but he couldn't be so conscious.
So with so much free time and no access to the Internet, what else can he do except make a little money?
As for why I didn't go on a date, of course, it was because I made an appointment with Huang Xiaobing yesterday.
Don't rush to meet in the past two days, wait for her to explain their affairs to her father and mother first, and then Huang Xiaobing will come back to him, and then take him to her house to meet his parents.
In fact, Huang Xiaobing originally planned to take Su Yan there in the evening after making it clear today, but Su Yan felt that this was too fast, and it took an extra day to prepare, and Huang Xiaobing also agreed considerately.
In fact, Su Yan has nothing to prepare for, he just hopes that by repeating what he did every day before, he can return to his normal heart.
When he came to the seventh floor of Baiyi Pavilion, he found the task NPC responsible for distributing the task of copying books, Deacon Blue.
"Hello Deacon Lan, I want to receive a 50,000-word copying task. ”
In Baiyi Pavilion, copying a book of 10,000 words can get a reward of five cents, which doesn't seem to earn much, and copying so much is actually very tiring, but it is better to be stable, and it can start and end at any time.
Even if he is lazy, copying 20,000 words of books a day is enough for him to eat steamed buns every day, and he can even occasionally change his taste and buy some food to cook at home.
After completing the foundation building, Su Yan will complete the task of copying books of 50,000 to 70,000 words every day.
Deacon Lan was an ordinary man who was close to thirty years old, and when he saw Su Yan, a young man who had dealt with him for four or five years, he smiled kindly: "Okay, wait for me to check." ”
Soon he called up a task to copy 100 copies of "Baicao Zhi", and found that there were still 36 tasks that had not been sent, so he took out five blank books with blue covers and handed over this task to Su Yan.
Obviously, the book Baicaozhi has more than 10,000 words.
After Su Yan took the book and asked where Baicao Zhi was placed, he was about to find a place to copy the book quietly, but at this time, Deacon Lan stopped him.
"Xiao Yan, wait a minute. ”
Su Yan turned back in confusion and asked, "Deacon Lan, what's wrong?"
In the past, every time he received a task with Deacon Lan, he showed an ordinary smile, and after inquiring about the task, he quietly assigned the task to others, which was the first time that the deacon stopped himself, and he directly used a rather intimate title.
This behavior made him feel a little strange.
Deacon Lan saw him turn around, fiddling with something under the counter, possibly looking for something.
He said slowly while looking for it: "You have been copying books in Baiyi Pavilion for so many years, do you know how many words of books you have copied in total?"
"Eh, this ......" Su Yan scratched his head.
He really didn't know.
But it can be done simply.
But he didn't bother to count, and asked directly, "How many words?"
Deacon Lan then gave a data: "In the past five years, you have copied relatively slowly in the first four years because you are still studying in the Academy of Literature, but after graduating and building a foundation, the speed of copying books is much faster, and by yesterday, you have copied 30 million words of books for our Baiyi Pavilion!"
Su Yan was stunned, 30 million words?
Is it already so much?
Immediately, he remembered a certain rule of Baiyi Pavilion, copying books in Baiyi Pavilion, for every 100,000 words copied, one Baiyi point can be accumulated, but the Baiyi points of informal members need to accumulate to 300 before the first settlement, and then every hundred points accumulated can be settled.
In other words, he can now directly receive 300 Baiyi points?
It turns out that Deacon Blue called me today, is it because of this?
In his expectant gaze, Deacon Lan took out a gray jade plate the thickness of two fingers of an adult and handed it to Su Yan.
Su Yan took it and observed it carefully.
This jade plate is engraved with Su Yan on one side, and the three words Baiyi Pavilion are engraved on the other side.
His consciousness invaded, and he could "see" three hundred very tiny stars inside.
Cultivators of certain exercises did not cultivate their divine consciousness in the early stage of the Open Source Realm, and could only vaguely sense some points of light.
Looking at these stars, he was happy and felt that it was too little.
It's only three hundred points, and I can't exchange a few of them for double cultivation pills, so I can only say that it's better than nothing.
"One more thing. ”
Just as Su Yan finished reading this piece of "Baiyi Order", Deacon Lan suddenly spoke again: "We Baiyi Pavilion and Confucianism have been grinding for a long time, and recently we finally got a weakened version of the scribe's minor practice from them, and we plan to teach it to those who copy more than 30 million words in Baiyi Pavilion as a benefit, and only 300 Baiyi points can be exchanged, do you want it?"
Su Yan looked at him and didn't speak.
[・_・?]
"I just got the 300 Baiyi points, do you want to pit me back so soon?"
Deacon Lan laughed and explained, "It's really a benefit, I swear I didn't lie to you!"
Then he told Su Yan that after learning this minor practice, the speed of copying books will increase significantly, copying 10,000 words a minute is not a problem, and the speed of copying books when cultivating to the consummation realm will be even more terrifying, and the accumulation speed of Baiyi points can exceed that of ordinary official members of Baiyi Pavilion.
"How about it, do you want to change it? This is a good thing for Wanli, even if you only cultivate to the first level of the realm, you can get 6 Baiyi points for copying books for an hour. ”
Su Yan listened a little moved.
I'm afraid that at the beginning of my career as a reader, I may not be able to have such a high income.
Deacon Lan continued to persuade: "If you copy for 5 hours in a row, you can easily get 30 Baiyi points, and you can also earn 1,500 copper plates by the way, you won't have to worry about eating and drinking this month~"
Su Yan felt a little trance-like, really fake?
He whispered, "The weakened version is like this, so wouldn't the real copyists earn more? How could they be willing to hand over the skills of eating? Wouldn't everyone come and copy the books when they heard the news?"
Deacon Lan listened and said: "You don't understand this, the purpose of their copying books, in addition to making money, is to practice and hone their abilities and prepare for the battlefield in the future, but they still have a lot of abilities to hone, so the time spent on copying books every day is actually only two hours at most."
"And the number of copyists is so small that they can't eat all the orders for two hours a day, because the demand for books is getting higher and higher, and it is also the general trend for them to release this weakened version of the exercise.
"Of course, there is one last point, we don't send out this exercise casually, copy 30 million words of books, in fact, many people can't do it, we copy more than 30 million words of books in Quancheng, and it will only increase by one or twenty a year, some people just copy casually for two or three years, and go to find another livelihood after the most difficult period. ”
"I see. Su Yan immediately understood that Quancheng and the entire Wanyuan Continent were too short of scribes, after all, there was no printing technology or anything here.
After that, Su Yan felt that he had a new question, and he asked, "But after those people quit, what will happen to the Baiyi points accumulated before?"
"Of course," Deacon Blue replied, "If they confirm that they don't want to continue doing this, we will also settle the Baiyi points they have accumulated to them, but those who do not reach 100 points will only be converted into copper coins...... In other words, are you going to change this minor exercise?"
