On August 10th, the weather was sunny and cloudless, which was a good day.

Although he was about to go to school for military training, he would definitely be tired into a dog at that time, but Zhu Mingli's exercise in the morning still did not stop.

Facing the morning light, running along this road that has been going back and forth hundreds of times, the next week of military training will be very sad, but Zhu Mingli is in a happy mood now.

Yesterday, I unexpectedly received the publisher who was connected to Zhu Mingli by the person in charge of the Amazon website, it was none other than the famous Random House, this time Zhu Mingli did not refuse like the disgusting two devils before, but agreed to negotiate cooperation with the other party.

However, Zhu Mingli himself will definitely not be able to talk about this matter, not to mention that he is about to undergo military training, there is no time, even if he has time, negotiating the copyright with the publisher is not something Zhu Mingli can do by himself, and people can just give up all the copyrights of the novel to others with a casual contract trap.

Therefore, after Zhu Mingli hung up the phone, he hurriedly called Liu Wei, the editor of "Science Fiction World", and prepared to entrust him and the magazine to find someone to negotiate with the publisher about the copyright cooperation of "The Martian" and "Wasteland".

Previously, the physical publication of "Wasteland", except for some key parts that required Zhu Mingli's opinion, some details after that, Liu Wei helped Zhu Mingli talk about it, in Zhu Mingli's view, Liu Wei's discipline and professional ethics are trustworthy, and he can't find other suitable people to help deal with this matter.

Liu Wei has actually been paying attention to the situation of "The Martian", and after the Chinese version of the novel was serialized in magazines, it has achieved great success, and it has caused great repercussions in the circle and among science fiction lovers.

However, after all, he only knows the news from across the ocean through the Internet, and it is not as convenient as the human website to get first-hand information directly.

With "The Martian", Zhu Mingli is very likely to win the Best Novel Award at this year's Galaxy Awards, and the publishing house has been eyeing the physical publication of the novel.

But after knowing the situation of "The Martian" on Amazon, the publisher has been waiting, waiting for what? Good news for The Martian, of course!

In July, more than 1 copies of the first volume of "Wasteland" were sold, and by the first week of August, "Wasteland" had sold more than 15,000 copies! On the bestseller list at the end of the year, "Wasteland" is already destined to have a place!

The success of "Wasteland" has given the publishing house a taste of the sweetness of "export to domestic sales", and they are waiting for "The Martian" to achieve greater success abroad, and the sales will be fried in China!

After receiving Zhu Mingli's call and entrustment, Liu Wei was also excited, he said to Zhu Mingli again and again, let him rest assured, he will definitely help Zhu Mingli handle this matter properly, and he will definitely not let Zhu Mingli suffer.

In addition, he also instructed that if he is inspired, he must not give up the creation of novels, and he is looking forward to Zhu Mingli's new book.

Zhu Mingli only bluffed a few words about this, he has not told Liu Wei about writing online novels until now, because in the past few years, online novels have been criticized by traditional writers, Zhu Mingli estimated that he told Liu Wei about writing online novels, and he estimated that he was crazy......

After ending the call with Liu Wei, Zhu Mingli couldn't suppress his curiosity and went over the wall to check the sales of the two novels, although he had already prepared, Zhu Mingli was still taken aback!

"The Martian" has been downloaded more than 450,000 times, "Wasteland" has been downloaded more than 120,000 times, tsk, this is more than two million, and when the copyright is sold, he can almost become a multimillionaire......

…………

After running, when practicing boxing, Zhu's mother also got up and practiced together, and now she is opening a store to do business, and she is not as tired as she used to go to work, so Zhu's mother also goes to bed early and gets up early, and she also practices Baduanjin exercise with Zhu Mingli and them in the morning and evening, and she is also ready to learn Taijiquan, but she has to wait until Zhu Mingli teaches her after military training......

At eight forty o'clock, after breakfast, Zhu's mother was going to open the door in the store.

Zhu Mingli also pulled a suitcase and went to the store with him, preparing to wait until about half past nine and take the bus directly to school.

Originally, Zhu's mother said that Zhu's father would give Zhu Mingli a gift, but Zhu Mingli refused, what is there to give away for such a short distance?

The suitcase is huge, in addition to a set of change of clothes, as well as toiletries, the most occupied space is a quilt, the reason why it is so hot to bring a quilt past, or the new head teacher specially explained, the school dormitory has air conditioning, the air conditioning is turned on at night is just a thin quilt, you have to die of cold......

After playing in the store for more than 20 minutes, at 9:25, the No. 5 bus that happened to go all the way to Qingyang arrived, Zhu Mingli pulled up his suitcase, said goodbye to Zhu's mother and several sisters, and got on the bus......

The bus stopped all the way, and after fifteen or sixteen minutes, it arrived at the Qingyang Grand Theater station, and Zhu Mingli pulled his suitcase and walked to the school.

After walking for seven or eight minutes, the closer I got to the school, I found that more and more students were pulling suitcases like Zhu Mingli, mixed in the crowd, Zhu Mingli entered the campus from the south gate of No. 1 Middle School, and then walked all the way to the classroom of class (4).

Walking into the classroom, most of the students in class (4) have already come, after all, many of the people here are two or three hours away from their homes and schools, and if they don't leave home early, they will have to be late.

This time I came to the military training, I didn't want to say goodbye in a hurry when I signed up before, and then everyone would get along day and night for a week, so everyone took advantage of this time to get to know each other, after all, they were young people, as long as they chatted, they were warm to each other.

Zhu Mingli glanced at it and saw that there was no one in the seat when he signed up, so he walked over, and Wu Xinyan and Shi Liya, the table mate he knew before, were talking.

On the next seat sat the self-familiar buddy Zhao Yue, the next two are also Zheng Chao and Huang Zhiqiang, and there are also two boys sitting in the last row of positions behind the two.

"Hey, Brother Zhu, are you here?" Zhao Yuezheng and Zheng Chao and Huang Zhiqiang were talking with their eyebrows, and out of the corner of their eyes, they caught a glimpse of a figure walking towards this side, looked up, and saw that it was Zhu Mingli, so they shouted.

"Brother Zhu?" What a retro title, Zhu Mingli was stunned in his heart, put the suitcase on the table, smiled at Wu Xinyan who came over, nodded with a smile, turned to Zhao Yue and said, "Brother Zhao, you came early." ”

"No way," Zhao Yue said, "My house is over there in Gaokeng, take the car slowly, it takes more than an hour, and I will set off from my house at eight o'clock!" Does Brother Zhu play games? Do you know Dungeons & Warriors? ”

“DNF？ Of course you know, you're playing this? Zhu Mingli said, "I used to run to the Internet café in the third year of junior high school, but now I don't play games, I don't think it's interesting......

"Don't play games? So Brother Zhu, what are you doing at home during the holidays? Zheng Chao asked, "I don't have time to work in the summer, and on such a hot day, there is nothing fun outside, only playing games to pass the time." ”

"In addition to playing games, there are many things I can do, such as reading, playing guitar, playing ball, running and exercising,......" Zhu Mingli shrugged.

"Ahh Brother Zhu can still play the guitar? Huang Zhiqiang asked curiously, "I also learned first, but I didn't have that opportunity." I've heard that there are a lot of college-like clubs in No. 1 Middle School, and I'm going to join a guitar club when the time comes. Brother Zhu, is this guitar difficult to learn? ”

"Fortunately, I have studied by myself for more than half a year, and I have found tutorials on the Internet, and now I can play ordinary songs as long as there is a score." Zhu Mingli said with a smile.

"What kind of ball does Brother Zhu usually play?" Zhao Yue was interested, "I can play basketball, and I'll bring a basketball after school starts, and we can play together when we have time." ”

"Basketball, table tennis, badminton, all play a little ......," Zhu Mingli said.

"I'm good at table tennis." Zheng Chao was eager to try, "When the time comes, let's have a discussion!" ”

Compared with online games, ball games such as basketball and table tennis are obviously more attractive for those who can be admitted to a high school, so the topic of the next few people shifted to sports.

Zhao Yue Yao Ming's fan, he claims to play basketball very well, table tennis, badminton will also be a little, and everyone will go to the court to sweat after the school starts.

Zheng Chao and Huang Zhiqiang can play a few kinds of balls, Huang Zhiqiang plays the most table tennis, and once won the second place in the table tennis competition organized by the school.

Zheng Chao was more interested in music, and he made an appointment with Zhu Mingli to teach him to play the guitar after the school started.

A few people were talking about sex, and the head teacher Zhu Wanfen walked in!
