Chapter 5: The Soaring Prestige
Soon, Lin Mu published a novel in "Martial Arts Story" and earned more than 2,000 yuan in manuscript fees, which spread in Yigao.
In the whole school, there are so many male students, few of them don't like to read martial arts novels, and there is a small bookstore selling "Martial Arts Stories" at the back door of the school.
So, the owner of the shop, Lao Chengang, put the new issue of martial arts magazines on the bookshelf and was snatched up.
After asking the reason, Lao Chen also didn't feel good, he worked hard to sell books, and after the whole batch of books was sold, he didn't necessarily earn 2,000 yuan, but he didn't expect a student to earn it by writing an article.
And those "Martial Arts Stories" that were bought are also widely circulated among students, and girls are even more curious about the "celebrities" who appear around them.
Therefore, in Lin Mu's class, a few girls came over after class from time to time, pointing at Lin Mu, as if looking at a giant panda.
Lin Mu's "original girlfriend" Shen Aijiao naturally knew about it.
My heart is very complicated, I don't know whether to persuade Lin Mu to study hard, or not to interfere with him, after all, the manuscript fee of 2,000 yuan is a huge amount of money for a student.
Although they will never see each other again, their worries and worries about Lin Mu still let him walk in front of Lin Mu's classroom after school at noon, just to take advantage of Lin Mu's absence, look at his seat, and calm his thoughts.
Unexpectedly, in the empty classroom, everyone rushed to eat, but Lin Mu was still sitting there, writing hard.
Shen Aijiao looked at it, and had already guessed what Lin Mu was doing in her heart, and she was both happy with his efforts, but also entangled in her heart.
After being watched for a long time, Lin Mu looked up, saw that it was her, and had already guessed the other party's intention in his heart, hesitated, and beckoned to her.
Shen Aijiao bit her lip and saw that there was no one in the classroom, so she walked to Lin Mu and sat down.
"Why don't you go to dinner?" was silent for a while before Shen Aijiao asked.
Lin Mu accepted the manuscript paper, put it into the shoulder bag he bought, and rubbed the fingers of his right hand.
"I just got out of school, and there are a lot of people in the place to eat, so I will go over late and write more manuscripts. ”
Shen Aijiao opened her mouth, not knowing whether to reveal her concern.
Lin Mu couldn't help but laugh when he looked at her.
"What are you laughing at!" Shen Aijiao suddenly felt aggrieved, he thought about him everywhere, but he seemed to be a different person.
Say break up yourself, you just listen to the breakup honestly, don't you know how to redeem it!
Of course, these are just Shen Aijiao's heartfelt words, so naturally she won't say them to Lin Mu.
Lin Mu suddenly moved his heart to this girl who was bent on thinking for herself. It's been a while since I came to this world, but the people around me really care about themselves wholeheartedly are just this simple girl in front of me!
Lin Mu is a bold character, he is a man in two lives, and he does not have the youth and shyness of a high school student.
"Don't worry, I have my own plans, even if I don't get into college, it's enough to use the manuscript fee to make my own life. Next, if I can still get through the draft, I will continue to write novels to make money, and if I can't, I will go back and study seriously, and you will be at ease!"
The girl in front of her was thinking about herself, and Lin Mu didn't want her to be distracted, so she simply panicked her.
Shen Aijiao's face turned red, and her right hand struggled out, although Lin Mu had also said that he liked him, he didn't even dare to hold her hand.
I didn't expect him to be so bold today and grab his hand directly in the classroom......
"I'll go to dinner, you can decide your own business!"
Seeing Shen Aijiao fleeing in the wilderness, Lin Mu smiled easily, slung his backpack on his back, and walked towards the student restaurant where he often went to eat.
……
Lin Mu entered the memory palace again at night.
The prestige on the screen, since the release of the new issue of "Martial Arts Story", has reached six thousand in one day, and basically every once in a while, it will rise by one or two.
Lin Mu doesn't know what the formula for calculating the prestige is, but it is also related to the number of viewers of "Hairpin Phoenix", perhaps coupled with the audience's need to "feel satisfied with this story".
The prestige rose to six thousand, and Lin Mu didn't think of anything else that needed to be exchanged for the time being, so he saved it, thinking about making some money first and buying a desktop computer.
The Internet in this world is extremely developed, and the form of online novels has gradually begun to appear, but it is still in the initial stage, and there is no fantasy and urban rampant situation in the previous life.
After all, the sales of "Martial Arts Story" are limited, and it is difficult for the vast majority of adults to buy real-time magazines, so its sales mainly rely on those hardcore book lovers who have pre-ordered, as well as scattered sales.
For example, the bookstore next to the Lin Mu School is a retail existence similar to this, and this time it is sold out at one time because of the presence of Lin Mu and the students of the school who are more interested in it.
Otherwise, according to the convention, it will take about four or five months for the new books to be sold out.
Life is so calm, Lin Mu continues to contribute, once every half a month, and he doesn't vote much, which is basically the word count of a "hairpin head phoenix".
It is worth mentioning that periodicals such as "Martial Arts Story" are all published semi-monthly.
Lin Mu is not interested in other magazines for the time being, and it is obviously unlikely that a magazine will use only one author's novel, even if the quality is excellent, it will be published in two issues.
But this was just the calm that Lin Mu felt.
In fact, those who watched him secretly never felt calm!
In just two months, except for the first half of the month, Lin Mu did not receive a reply from the magazine, and basically earned nearly 3,000 manuscript fees for the next three issues.
has become an old author, naturally there is the treatment of an old author, the manuscript fee has risen to 100 words per 1,000 words, although it is not yet comparable to those famous writers who start from 15 or 15, but among the newcomers, it is already extremely eye-catching, leaving a status in the heart of the review editor Lin Shuiqing.
In the second week, it was because Lin Mu's past "caged fish" was too novel, and the editor Lin Shuiqing was afraid that readers would not accept it, so he did not adopt it.
Although Lin Mu didn't open the letter in the class again, in each issue of the magazine, someone with a heart can always count the number of words of his "one-page book" signed novel, and the minimum fee for his manuscript is calculated according to 80 words per 1,000, and there are more than 2,000!
Once it was lucky, it just attracted attention, and two or three times like this, it directly blew up the whole school.
At the same time, when Lin Mu earned more than 11,000 yuan, his prestige also increased greatly.
The first issue of "Hairpin Phoenix", a month before his second novel was published, brought him 15,000 prestige.
With the publication of the next three novels, four novels, Lin Mu gained a total of more than 80,000 prestige.
And as he became famous in "Martial Arts Story", the increase in his reputation was gradually increasing.
It's just that danger is also approaching......
