Chapter 004: The First Mission
In the end, Xia Fan still followed the meaning of "Lord Bao" and chose to sign the contract.
At noon the next day, I took the time to go to the copy shop near the school to print two copies of the signing contract, and after signing the name, I found a nearby courier and sent it out.
The uncle of the copy shop knew Xia Fan, and in the process of helping him typeset and print, he naturally saw the content of the contract, and immediately showed a look of surprise: "Xiao Xia, it turns out that you are writing a novel?" And I also signed a contract to write novels for the Chinese Group, this company I know, now eighty percent of the popular novels on the Internet are from here, your young age is really amazing! β
"Actually, it's just a ...... of writing and playing"
Xia Fan, who has lived in the shadow of other people's children since he was a child, rarely can enjoy this feeling, and his heart is naturally beautiful, but he still smiled very modestly.
"It's also a skill to be able to sign a contract if you write blindly, and I also know that Huawen Group is not so easy to meet the conditions for signing a contract."
Uncle Copyshop's copy shop is not only in the business of copying and printing, but also rents books.
Among them, there are naturally some pirated novels by the gods of the Chinese group, because their high school mobile phones are not allowed to be brought into the classroom, and most of the extracurricular books that Xia Fan and many of his classmates peek at in class can only come from here, so the owner of the copy shop also has some understanding of this aspect of things.
"Hey, hey."
Xia Fan scratched his head embarrassedly.
"The book you wrote is called "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", I remember, I'll support you when I have time......"
The uncle of the copy shop was still praising him vigorously, Xia Fan couldn't resist it, so he could only quickly find an excuse to retreat, but the dark feeling did not retreat.
The master is now half a literary youth, hehe.
However.
What Xia Fan didn't know was that the moment he walked out of the copy shop, the smile on the uncle's face suddenly disappeared, replaced with a look of disdain, looked at his back and lowered his voice and said to himself, "Today's child, I really don't know how thick the sky is, I can't learn the cultural class well and I want to learn from others to write books, what level do I have in my heart......
β¦β¦
After another day, the author's backstage reminded him that the contract had been received, and there was no problem after checking, and "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" officially entered the signing state.
This indicates that the editor can already start arranging him with recommended slots for the most basic promotion.
At this time, "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" has reached 50,000 words.
His editor-in-charge Jiayi's actions are also fast, he received the contract in the afternoon, and he had already arranged the first small recommendation for Xia Fan in the middle of the night, and at the same time did not forget to come to the notice: "The author is big, your recommendation will start tomorrow afternoon and last for a week, this is a test of the water recommendation, only with good results can I be able to win more and more powerful recommendation positions for you in the future, so please remember to ensure stable updates." β
Xia Fan, who had never written a book in the Chinese Group before, didn't know that because the Chinese Group has a huge family business, and the number of network authors under each editor in charge is very large, and he is usually too busy, so for most of the network authors, the editor in charge is basically equivalent to the cold NPC in the game, and he can't say a word for several months if he has nothing to do.
Not to mention that it is called "the author is big" like now, and it is personally notified and reminded to recommend it in the middle of the night.
It can be seen from this that the editorial department and editor-in-charge of the Chinese Group, Jiayi, attach great importance to Xia Fan's book.
"Okay, I got it."
Because he didn't know, Xia Fan's response didn't seem too excited.
"But after reading the author's information, what I didn't expect at all is that the author is only an 18-year-old boy, and it is hard to imagine that a person of your age can have such a sophisticated pen and rich knowledge reserve, which is really amazing (?Ο<)."
Editor-in-charge Jiayi then said, "Okay, then I won't disturb the author's big rest, if it's possible, the author will be able to add a more tomorrow, it's too painful to wait for the update, do you make it (β₯β―^β°β₯)......"
"Uh, I'm still in school and I'm on a tight schedule, so ......"
Xia Fan could only say so vaguely, he didn't count what he said about the addition, and he had to be his family's "Master Bao" not to be lazy.
In addition, there is a necessary condition, that is, electricity, don't look at Xia Fan's parents will not restrict him from using the computer during this period after he comes home from self-study at night, but they will strictly control his sleeping time, and pull the electric switch on time at 11 o'clock!
β¦β¦
The next night, Xia Fan really didn't add a change to his cute and conscientious editor......
Because "Lord Bao" righteously refused to "work overtime" on the absurd reason that "beauty sleep is very important for girls", she is now obviously a little female cat!
But when he uploaded the chapters at 10 o'clock, he finally found out that his book was completely different, just a recommendation that started in the afternoon, and it was a small test of the waters, which made the number of collections of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" soar from the original 176 to 1807!?
At the same time, the number of hits has directly climbed to the first place in the supernatural list, and even in the ranking of new books released within a month of the whole site, it has already advanced into the top ten!?
The number of new comments on the day also managed to squeeze into the top 10!?
And that's not the most exaggerated, the most exaggerated is - tipping!
The amount of reward on the day of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" actually jumped to the first place in the whole site ranking!?
Compared with the previous ones, this is the most real ranking, after all, the reward is real money, it's all money!
Xia Fan was stunned for a few seconds, and then hurriedly opened the reward page of the author's background to check, in addition to dozens of 100 book coins or hundreds of thousands of book coins, the highest was actually three 100,000 book coins of huge rewards, that is, three alliance leaders...... The book currency recharge ratio of the Chinese Group is 1:100, which means that three readers were amazed after watching "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", and directly gave him 1,000 yuan for free!
It's not a big deal to spend money on book subscriptions, but this book is only 50,000 words, and three alliance leaders directly appeared, which is a bit scary!
This is the influence that only some of the most qualified god authors on the site have!
"It's already taking off!?"
Xia Fan hurriedly took a look at the total amount of the reward, just today's one-day reward, even after fifty-fifty according to the signing contract, his income actually reached 2,000 yuan, which is much higher than the buyout price he was reluctant to give up before, okay!?
"Gollum!"
Xia Fan couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and pinched his thigh again, until he grinned in pain, it all seemed like a dream, and it was a dream that he couldn't think of before.
But the pain from the nerves in his thighs told him it was all true!
"What are you excited about, this is just the beginning, as the future superstar of the Celestial King and the royal shovel officer of the palace, you have to learn to be calm."
"Master Bao", who was already lying on his small mat just now and closed his eyes to recuperate, didn't know when he had opened half of his eyes, glanced at the computer screen very casually, and then snorted at Xia Fan as a matter of course.
"Good! I'm calm, I'm calm! I can't calm down......"
Xia Fan took a deep breath and tried to calm his excitement, but it was too difficult.
Before this, even if he wanted to break his head, he would never have imagined that an ordinary scumbag like him could have such an exaggerated income just by relying on an online novel made by a cat!
This makes him, who has basically not experienced any big scenes since he was a child, how can he calm down!?
"My 'unsightly' life should be about to take off, right!?"
In addition to being excited, Xia Fan opened the page of the book with a trembling hand to check, and the comment area, which could basically be described as "the wind blowing eggshells", was already densely packed with no end in sight at the moment.
"It's basically all praising me, urging changes, advertising, and building buildings, hahaha, look at this comment, the title is called "I'm a super bad pen, no one sees it anyway, and it will definitely sink after a while], there are hundreds of readers' replies in it, and they directly give him the most obvious position, these readers are so cute!"
Xia Fan smiled from ear to ear, but it was also mixed with some questioning or insulting comments, and his face sank again when he saw this, "Damn, there is a bastard here who actually said that I was brushing data, and I was spewing blood!" And this person, who says that what I write is just a piece of shit, fart, is it true that so many readers are blind!? β
"Calm, a Uranus superstar without black powder is not a Uranus superstar at all, and you will slowly get used to it in the future."
"Master Bao" still said as a matter of course, and then squinted again, "I think, now you should know the value of these things brought by this palace, right?" β
"Of course, I didn't doubt you from the beginning!"
Xia Fan nodded decisively and said unashamedly.
"Meowβ"
It was only at this moment that "Master Bao" finally showed an imperceptible sly smile, and his tail swayed with a nice voice, "Then, it just so happens that the system has sent out the first temporary task, you listen, the content of the task is - you must confess to your crush before the end of self-study tomorrow night......"
