After the squad leader left, Lu Yang originally wanted to open the envelope immediately and read the contract and the first sample book inside.

But at this time, there were still two roommates in the dormitory, and Lu Yang didn't want the news of writing a novel by himself to spread and affect his life, so he suppressed the eagerness in his heart and went out with the thick registered letter.

When Lu Yang left, the two roommates glanced at each other, and the chubby Shao Dahai said: "Lu Yang's kid is usually so low-key, but I didn't expect there to be a relative in Taiwan." ”

The thin Hu Gu nodded and agreed: "Well, seeing that letter is so thick, maybe his Taiwanese relative sent him something." ”

"I don't know what it is, Lu Yang's kid didn't open it in the dormitory, and he took it out mysteriously, it's really boring!" Shao Dahai was also very curious about what was sent in such a thick envelope.

Because of this registered letter, from then on, Shao Dahai and Hu Gu became more curious about Lu Yang.

……

Lu Yang habitually came to the No. 3 teaching building, the classroom on the top floor that he frequented the most.

At this moment, there are only three students reading quietly in this classroom, and the three students are nearly ten meters away from each other, obviously not wanting to be disturbed, and they are people who really want to read.

The three of them were in the classroom, but there was no sound at all, and even when they occasionally turned to the books, they couldn't hear the sound coming out.

Lu Yang likes this atmosphere the most, and when he entered, he also took a light step, walked to the corner by the window at the back of the classroom, sat down at the last table, and then with a smile of anticipation, he tore open the envelope and took out the contents of the envelope little by little.

As Lu Yang expected, it was indeed a contract sent back by C Publishing House, and four sample books for the first and second episodes of "Doomsday Wasteland".

The name of the editor-in-chief of C Publishing House has been signed on the return contract, and the official seal of C Publishing House has been stamped.

After Lu Yang casually glanced at it, he put the contract aside, and then the whole person's attention shifted to the four sample books.

The sample book is very exquisite, the cover paper is very thick, and the cover is painted in a comic style with gray tones, drawing a picture of the ruins of a ruined city, a post-apocalyptic scene, on the empty ruined street, a thin and tall boy walks in front with a long knife in his hand, followed by a slender and beautiful girl.

Doomsday wasteland, four big purple and red characters, printed on the far right of the cover, and under these four words, there are also a few small characters written - Wen Chou.

It is worth mentioning that these texts are all printed in traditional characters.

This is my work, my reborn ** work......

The fingers of his right hand gently rubbed on the cover of the sample book, and Lu Yang murmured in his heart.

The first work has a special place in the hearts of every author, and it is difficult for outsiders to understand.

Turning the pages of the book casually, just like the first published work of Lu Yang's previous life, the text in it is not only all traditional Chinese characters used in Taiwan, but also the text is arranged vertically from top to bottom, and when reading, you should also look from right to left, column by column.

The paper inside is very thick and white, very textured, and the quality is more than one or two grades better than Lu Yang's textbooks over the years.

Before his rebirth, Lu Yang gave a lot of sample books to others, and in the end, he only had one book left in his hand, and he only had one book in his hand, and he couldn't collect a complete set.

In this regard, Lu Yang has always regretted it, but unfortunately, the books have been sent out, and regret is useless.

But in this life, Lu Yang doesn't plan to do that again.

This is also one of the reasons why Lu Yang doesn't want his roommate to know that he writes novels too early.

If those roommates knew that they had written a novel, and that it had been published in Taiwan, and that there were two sets of sample books, those roommates would definitely ask him to send one or even a few to them.

Send one to this one, give one to that one, the two sets of sample books that the publishing house promised to give him can't stand sending at all, and in the end, there must be only a few copies left that can stay in Lu Yang's hands.

There are only two sets of sample books, Lu Yang wants to keep one set for himself, and the remaining set, Lu Yang plans to keep it and give it to the most important people in his heart in the future.

As for those ordinary friends, I'm sorry.

After reading the four sample books in the classroom for about half an hour, Lu Yang couldn't help but stuff them back into the envelope along with the contract, and then took them to the Starrain Internet café outside the back door of the school.

The contract and sample book had arrived, and Lu Yang felt that the editor of C Publishing House should have sent him an email to tell him about it.

After turning on the computer and logging in to the mailbox, Lu Yang found that there was indeed a new email in the inbox from the editor of C Publishing House.

When I clicked on the email, I realized that C Publishing House had not only sent him the contract and sample book, but his first manuscript fee of 4,500 yuan had been remitted to Lu Yang's bank account written in the contract.

A few days ago, Lu Yang had already sent the manuscript of the second episode, and according to the rules, the manuscript fee for the manuscript of the first episode will not be issued, and the manuscript fee will be distributed from the manuscript of the second episode.

Lu Yang sent two episodes of manuscripts in succession, just to get the first manuscript fee.

4500, in 2013, was nothing.

At that time, the renminbi was greatly devalued, and carpenters and masons were paid two or three hundred yuan a day, and they all received six or seven thousand, or even tens of thousands, a month.

But in 2003, 4,500 was still a considerable amount for those people at the bottom.

In 2003, carpenters and masons earned only 40 or 50 yuan a day, or even 30 yuan a day.

At this time, Lu Yang's tuition fee for two semesters was less than 4,000 yuan for one academic year.

The living expenses for a semester are only 2,000 yuan, and the average monthly food expenses plus other expenses are only about 400.

In such an era, 4500 is really a lot for Lu Yang.

The most important thing is that 4,500 is not his monthly manuscript fee, but only the manuscript fee of 65,000 words for an episode.

With Lu Yang's current writing speed, more than 6,000 words in one night, more than 60,000 words in ten days, plus two or three days, input the text on the manuscript paper into the computer and make it into an electronic document format, and it will take less than half a month to write a manuscript.

In a month, Lu Yang can write at least two episodes.

4500 for one episode and 9000 for two episodes.

In 2003, this was definitely a huge income that ordinary people could not even dream of.

I finally got my first manuscript fee.

With these 4,500 yuan, Lu Yang can buy a laptop according to his heart, and without handwriting, Lu Yang's writing speed can be increased by at least one-third.

It also saves the time of reading the manuscript and typing it into the computer.

The so-called: if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools.

In order to speed up the speed of writing, the computer, Lu Yang knew that it could not be saved. This first payment is not yet the time to save.

At that moment, Lu Yang went back to the dormitory, first locked the registered letter into his desk drawer, and then took his bank card and went to withdraw money to buy a computer.

It's just a pity.

Lu Yang forgot that in 2003, the prices of all brands of laptops were very expensive, and the general price was five or six thousand.

Lu Yang wanted to buy a better one for the first manuscript fee, but he didn't have many options at all.

Moreover, not to mention the expensive price, the notebook configuration is also so low that people are speechless.

In the end, Lu Yang still gave up the current idea of buying a computer, honestly deposited the money back in the bank, and decided to write by hand as before, and then go to the Internet café to input the manuscript into the computer.

On the way back, Lu Yang also figured it out.

At present, no one in the dormitory has a computer, and if you buy a new computer yourself, everyone will definitely rush to play, and it may not be long before it will be scrapped.

The environment in the dormitory is very noisy most of the time, not suitable for codewords at all, if you take a notebook to the classroom to write, the crackling typing sound will also affect others to read books.

It is also a big influence on the fact that I want to keep my own novels secret.

It's better to wait a little longer, and when the money is enough, go out and rent a quieter house and buy a computer.
