Chapter 2 There is no ceremony required for the signing of the contract
"Contract?" Yue Qingyan's reaction was, "What do you want to do to me?"
"Do you do what?" Faust shook his head and said, "Is there any other possibility for you than to be an author?"
Faust cleared his throat and said, "This contract will keep you alive and not die for a hastily completed novel." But you also have to pay a price for it. This price includes that you will no longer have any relationship with all the circles you have now. No one remembers you before, although your name, address, contact information, etc. will not change, of course, you can change if you want. You will continue to live as an author, but the world of fiction and stories that you know will be presented to you in a different way than you do now. ”
"What does this mean?" Yue Qingyan asked, "If all these works I know are gone, wouldn't that be a good thing for me?"
Faust sighed and said, "Indeed, I didn't fully anticipate this when I created the rules. It allows the author to exploit loopholes. It's nothing, though. It's just a matter of providing some convenience to the author. However, this contract is meant to test and test how interesting a person's soul is, and how good it is when you are happy. Since there are no such works in this world, you will not have a template to copy. Well, what you write is your own presentation in the final analysis, and I can still accept that. “
Yue Qingyan nodded: "This is completely okay." If that's all there is, then I'll have no problem signing this contract. ”
"I've misestimated the influence that others have on you. I thought you might care about your parents, your friends, or your admirers?"
Yue Qingyan smiled bitterly and said, "What qualifications does a loser have to be picky? Of course I can't bear it, but ...... Since these people will still exist in the future, I have a chance to rebuild the relationship, don't I?"
"Including relatives?" said Faust's tone with a hint of sarcasm: "You're such a modern man." ”
"Don't you know what I've been through?" Yue Qingyan sighed. The problem is too complex to explain. Since Faust claims to be able to remove himself from all interpersonal relationships, he naturally knows very well what kind of interpersonal circle, what kind of life, what kind of relatives and friends he has. All in all, reluctance may be there. But if there is an opportunity to start over, then Yue Qingyan should undoubtedly seize it.
"Okay. I'm not picky about how you were able to figure out the stakes in such a short period of time. It doesn't matter, since I call it a price, then there is a reason why I call it a price. If you see it as a burden, you have what you say. Faust nodded, not intending to delve into it. In the final analysis, he was a devil who came to sign a contract, not a psychiatrist, so he didn't have to understand every trace of Yue Qingyan's thoughts.
"Then, there is another important condition: in the future, as an author, you will get a reward for each story you complete, and you can get a skill from a random character in the work. It's completely random, and there's no guarantee that you'll be able to draw useful skills, and it's not sure which character's skills you're drawing. Even, it is not necessarily the character skills you write, but it may also be implicit. So, God knows. Faust shrugged: "Anyway, it's a pure harvest process, even if it's a useless skill, it won't hurt anything." ”
"What about the punishment?" Yue Qingyan was more concerned about this.
"If you give up a story, it doesn't matter if it's a bad story or a eunuch. will all get a negative status, also from the character. See if you're ruthless enough with the character. Faust smiled a slightly lewd smile on his face: "As an author, it's probably hard not to write characters like ED or Bad Luck at all." Be careful. This passive negative state will continue until the next full story is written. Then, translating into a state of lockdown on a skill, knowing that you have to complete one more story before you can fully return to normal. Moreover, both of these stories used to whitewash must be longer than the ones you give up. ”
Yue Qingyan felt a chill in his heart: "If my eunuch has a 2 million word online article, I feel that I can't turn over in this life, right?"
Faust: "Then it depends on your diligence and luck." In case of...... I mean, what if, you eunuch a book with an infinite card in it? I said, it's an interesting experiment, an experiment, and I'm intrigued to see how you're going to struggle in this kind of situation. ”
Yue Qingyan: "Okay, I kind of understand. Rewarded skills aren't necessarily useful, but negative penalties are definitely effective, right?"
"Of course, don't forget who you're dealing with. Faust smiled and said, "In addition, I will tell you that the advantages and disadvantages of this contract for you are all manifested through these." You are not physically strengthened, and you are not financially supported, which means that you will also get sick, you will die, or at the very least, you will be poor. How you want to live depends on your own choice. ”
"I've already agreed, and I don't have a chance to regret it, right?" Yue Qingyan said: "There is a new life, and there is an opportunity to challenge the profession of an author, which is enough." If you can't survive anymore, then you can't live this opportunity. ”
"Sign?"
"Sign!"
"Then we have made a contract. Faust said, "Ah, it begins at this moment." ”
"Well, there is no ceremony, no paperwork?"
"Do you think you're dealing with a government agency?" Faust suddenly remembered something: "By the way, I forgot to say it." The skills you gain from the work and the pre-ritual you use should be the same as in the work. I hope you will write more skills with a strong secondary school atmosphere, so that it will be very fun. ”
"You should have said this earlier!" Yue Qingyan couldn't laugh or cry, he always felt that what Faust didn't say was much more than that.
"I said it before you even wrote. By the way, you have five opportunities to create with complete freedom and unfettered. Used to understand how the rules of this contract are reflected in your life. Then, I'm going to build on this contract and add some fun to myself. Faust: "Rest assured, it will not be smooth sailing on your creative path." Otherwise, there will be no fun in experimenting, and there will be no way to test whether you can be our partner. ”
"Okay. Expected. I won't ask, just improvise. ”
"Clever choice. Therefore, among the 5 opportunities to create freely, I hope you will allocate it reasonably. There is no time limit, after all, writing is a very free process, but you have to remember one thing: right now, the world knows nothing about you except for people who have to know you on a reasonable basis. You have to do a few things in just a few works: make sure you have enough money to make ends meet, build a basic social circle, have a certain level of popularity, and start to get acquainted with the creative system of the world, and the whole world. Faust thought for a moment: "There are still many things. Come on. ”
"I see. So...... Where to start?"
"You're still looking at the world, aren't you? That starts with watching the world become what I promised you. Faust was a little excited.
A pitch-black, completely opaque smoke enveloped Yue Qingyan, and then Yue Qingyan didn't know anything.
When Yue Qingyan woke up, his whole body was sore. Of course, this is to be expected. You can't expect those demons to do everything and care about your physical feelings. In fact, Yue Qingyan felt that he was very lucky that he didn't have any missing parts, and even that he could still be in good condition.
Yue Qingyan looked around, the room he was in looked very similar to the place where he used to live, but the difference was not small. Originally, he rented a three-bedroom apartment with no separate bathroom and a small room. And now, this one, which looks like an apartment for entrepreneurial talents, has a whole room, and has a small toilet and bathroom separated out. There is a kitchen which is integrated with the living room. It's only about 20 square meters in total, but almost all the functions needed to live alone are available.
Single beds, desks, less ergonomic office chairs, wardrobes, small bookcases, and much more. Although he did not take care of his life, Faust was obviously good to him in this arrangement.
Yue Qingyan moved his body, walked around the room, and saw a note on the desk:
The rent in this place is 4000 a month. It improves your life because sharing an apartment is easy to goof. Start your new life. The relevant information is in the drawer. - Faust
Yue Qingyan opened the drawer. Inside, there is a bright yellow rather large foam document bag. It contained Yue Qingyan's documents, mobile phone, and bank card. As well as a brand new laptop. Other than that, the whole room, although fully equipped, was completely empty.
Yue Qingyan turned on the phone, and the battery was 100%. There is no difference from the APP he installed before, he opened Alipay easily, and looked at the balance as before, and now there is a balance of more than 30,000 yuan. It is estimated that this amount of money will have to be held on until his novels can be sold for money in this world. However, in social software, there is not a single friend. The computers are brand new and the software is installed. However, there is not a single document.
Looking at the empty room, Yue Qingyan fully realized that a new beginning was a pitting thing for him. It's a big project just to procure the most basic things to maintain daily life, at least to have clothes to wear and eat.
Although Faust had already said it, now Yue Qingyan had no contact with his former circle of friends. But Yue Qingyan still wanted to see those ...... What the hell is going on with the people he used to know now?
