As soon as she said this, Zheng Jia, who was relatively thin-skinned, was about to cry again, Tong Yao glared at Xu Yue, and hurriedly interjected to explain to everyone and comfort Zheng Jia.

"Don't be afraid, anyway, you have already chosen the path of being a full-time writer, and if you have gains, you will have to lose, which is normal, besides, although your grades are poor, but you have passed them all, we will graduate after this year, for you, good grades and bad points have little impact. ”

Hearing that Zheng Jia chose to be a full-time writer, Xu Yue and Meng Xue really changed the topic, and chatted around Zheng Jia for a long time, Meng Xue suddenly sighed.

"Ah, let's chat, forget all about business, come, come, look at the souvenirs I have brought you!!"

Everyone looked at Meng Xue curiously.

Her family is from a big city in the south, so she can have a special product of hair.

In the curious eyes of everyone, I saw Meng Xue take out a thick stack of books from the suitcase.

"Books?"

Seeing that it was a book, everyone was even more curious.

But when they read the title of the book clearly, everyone raised their voices and shouted!

"South Sword and North Sword!!?"

"Tong Yao! it's your book!!"

"It's been published! It's really been published!!

……

Everyone jumped and shouted excitedly, including Tong Yao, this happiness came too suddenly, if you really want to compare, the happiness of getting the physical book is even higher than the 80,000 yuan.

This book is a big eight, the book cover is white plastic seal, beautifully made, the two protagonists in the book are painted on it, a sword and a sword are fighting on the grassland, the four big characters of the south knife and the north sword are walking dragon and snake, and there is a line of small characters next to the title of the book - Tong Yao!!

Tong Yao picked up a book, rubbed it carefully, and opened it with a smirk for a long time.

The book was re-reviewed and typeset by the publishing house, and the number of words was compressed to 450,000, and the plot of Tong Yao's original water was basically deleted.

The price is 32.5! Meng Xue took a total of eight copies!

"Come, one copy for each of the two of you! Give the remaining six copies to Tong Yao!"

"Give it to me?"

Tong Yao was stunned for a moment, and at this time Xu Yu took a copy and asked.

"You don't keep a copy of yourself, do you?"

Meng Xue explained with a smile.

"I bought more than a dozen copies, kept one at home, and gave a few copies to some of my relatives, and I told them that my roommates wrote them, and their eyes widened, and my sister-in-law was clamoring for you, the writer, to sign for her! As for giving you so much, it's for you to take it home, and for your relatives and friends to see it too, so that their eyes will also stare at you, hahaha......"

Xu nodded approvingly.

"Yes, yes, yes, this is only qualified to be called a writer after this is published, do you have to take it back and brag about it, or give me more evenness?"

Tong Yao smiled and nodded, seriously took the five books into his suitcase, then took one and put it next to the pillow, and flipped through it when he was ready to sleep.

It's been almost ten months since the copyright of this book was sold, and she is looking forward to seeing the real physical book every day, and her patience has long been exhausted, but she didn't expect that when she was least looking forward to it, this book suddenly came to her hand unexpectedly.

"Meng Xue, where did you buy this book? I'll give you the money. ”

Tong Yao was about to give money, but Meng Xue smiled and waved her hand.

"Don't, mentioning money hurts my feelings, besides, I didn't spend any money on this book, I asked a distant relative to buy it from the bend, and people confiscated my money, why am I embarrassed to accept your money?"

After Meng Xue finished speaking, she patted her head again and said with a smile.

"yes, yes, yes, and yes, I almost forgot ......"

Then she pulled out a large pile of books from her suitcase.

"This is Zheng Jia's, look, "Three Thousand Years with Ghosts" !!"

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Zheng Jia and Tong Yao sighed at the same time.

"I ...... My book was published......? I ......"

Zheng Jia picked up the book and looked at it, the black cover was also an eight-open book, the book was called "Three Thousand Years with Ghosts", the author's name was Zheng Jia, this is all right, opened the content and looked at it, and the content inside was also right.

However, compared with Tong Yao's book, her book is too rough to print.

The paper inside is blue and black, thin and poor, the book cover is all black, and there is no pattern, as far as the title and the author are concerned, the content inside is not typeset, it is exactly what is published on the website.

"Hehe, curious, aren't you? I'm curious, too, but then I asked the owner of the book seller, and I finally figured it out. ”

"What the hell is going on? I don't sell the rights to this book at all...... How can it be published?"

"The boss said, now young people like to read online novels, and if they like this, then there is a market. Therefore, some people secretly download good-looking books from the Internet, bind and print them themselves, and sell them. ”

"Ah, can it be like this? Isn't it illegal?"

"So people secretly sell it, your book, I accidentally found it at a roadside bookstall selling books, 5 yuan each, you can get more and cheaper. ”

After Meng Xue explained to everyone, she picked up three books.

"You see, this is divided into one, two, and three volumes, I probably looked at it, and this book is not finished......

Burst!

Tong Yao was happy and quipped.

"That's because Zheng Jia hasn't finished writing yet, haha......"

Although he knew that it was pirated, Zheng Jia was still very excited, holding three black books for a long time and reluctant to put them down, everyone knew that this was a very dignified thing, this book was taken to the village, it would definitely blow for a lifetime, and the people in the village could not distinguish the pirated genuine version.

"I'm sorry, I heard from the boss that your book is selling well, so there are only seven copies left, and they are all for you. ”

Meng Xue scratched her head.

These seven books are not a complete set.

Three books of the first volume, one of the second volumes, and three of the third volumes, her novels have too many words, so the pirates divided them into three bindings when they were bound.

Only about 1.3 million words were printed in these three copies.

It is estimated that the number of words released by Zheng Jia at that time was only 1.3 million words.

One black and one white, the two books "Southern Sword and Northern Sword" and "Three Thousand Years with Ghosts" are put together, which is quite interesting.

One genuine, one pirated.

One sold for 80,000 yuan, and the other continued to produce income at several thousand yuan per month.

One was not very well published, and the other was published by pirates but the copyright was not sold.

The two books, just like two people, maybe like Zheng Jia and Tong Yao are facing the actual situation at the moment, joy or sorrow, only they know, and only they can taste it.

Zheng Jia received seven books into the suitcase, just as Meng Xue said, she really planned to take these books home on the next holiday, give them a good look at her grandfather and grandmother, and make them happy and proud of herself.

On September 3, 2005, Tong Yao's junior career officially began.

And on this day, "The First Sword Maniac", which has 1 million words, is still half dead.
