Chapter 003: The Author Greatly
Xia Fan actually doesn't particularly understand the direct connection between engaging in online novels and the art examination a month later.
But out of curiosity about "Lord Bao" and the so-called classics on the earth, he finally chose to obey a cat, obediently lay in front of the computer according to the requirements of "Lord Bao", and began the strange work of "Cat Says My Code".
Fortunately, Xia Fan has been in contact with the computer since he was a child, and his typing speed is not slow, and he can barely keep up with the speed of "Master Bao" dictation.
In this way, because there is no need to think and just simply input, in just two hours, Xia Fan wrote more than 15,000 words, which took two hours to scratch his ears and cheeks to write a 1,000-word essay before, and finally could only get a simple "good" or "medium" word from the Chinese teacher, it is simply a miracle masterpiece.
"Hey, I'm about to die of exhaustion, that's all for today, and I'll write the rest slowly later. ”
Squatting on the computer desk, "Master Bao" straightened his two front paws, stretched a big lazy waist, and then curled up and lay down softly, and said to Xia Fan with sleepy eyes, "Really, since sharing a body with your cat, the whole person has become lazy, and if you move a little, you will be sleepy, you go and bring the cushion of the palace, and then you can kneel down, and the palace should have a good sleep." ”
"Uh...... Don't sleep yet, you haven't told me what to do next?"
Xia Fan asked helplessly.
"Don't you always use your mobile phone to read books on the world's largest novel website called Huawen Group? Now go and register an author account, send out everything you wrote today, and then wait for the editorial department to send a message. ”
"Master Bao" waved his paw a little impatiently, and motioned with his eyes to Xia Fan to put the mat first, and make the palace comfortable before anything else.
"Oh......"
Xia Fan hurriedly did so, and waited for "Master Bao" to lie down comfortably, and then began to open the webpage of the Chinese Group to register the author's account, and asked while registering, "These should be supernatural novels that you asked me to write, the story is really attractive, especially the previous narrative about Hu Bayi's grandfather, that blank paper woman is really scary, even I am fascinated, but what is the name of the novel?"
"It's called "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", to tell you the truth, when this book was sent out on the earth, it quickly became the top of the book sales list, and later it was ranked 12th on the original literary IP value list!"
"Master Bao" turned over and said in a daze, "Okay, okay, you can do the rest yourself, Bengong wants to have a beauty sleep, oh yes, there is one more thing, the cat food or something in Bengong is tired of eating, I feel that my body has been hollowed out after being busy for so long, and I need a hot pot to replenish it tonight." ”
"No problem, things like eating and drinking are all minor problems. ”
Xia Fan intently registered the author's account and new book information, and his mind was no longer here at the moment.
In the process of "copying books", Xia Fan has already realized that this book is indeed different from those books he has read before, and it is a type of book in this world that has never officially appeared, and the story is very strong, and it will soon catch the reader's attention, and even he himself is eager to know how the plot in the book will be advanced next.
So at this moment, he has a lot of confidence in the future of this book.
Perhaps, what "Master Bao" said is true, she really has the ability to help herself realize the dream that she could only fantasize about before, perhaps, he is really an extremely lucky guy......
……
In the next two days, after returning home from evening self-study at 9 o'clock every night, Xia Fan would quickly lock the door and squat in front of the computer to carry out the strange work of "cat says my code".
I don't write much, it's 6,000 words a day, it takes less than an hour, and it's uploaded in three chapters.
In the past two days, the collection of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" has not risen too fast, just exceeded 100, which is also a helpless thing, supernatural novels have always been a dispensable subcategory in the Chinese group, the audience is relatively small, the number of words in the book has just been released and there is no recommendation, it is obviously impossible to attract a large number of readers in just two days.
And "Lord Bao" is as sleepy and greedy as ever, always changing tricks to improve the food, and under Xia Fan's "strong" request, "Lord Bao" can already eat on the table.
At first, Xia's father and Xia's mother naturally didn't agree to come, a cat came to the table to eat, if it was tossed around, how could this meal be eaten?
However, after they saw "Master Bao" obediently squatting on the table and shaking his tail, waiting for Xia Fan to put vegetables into her small plate before moving his mouth, otherwise he would never mess around, so they finally accepted Xia Fan's request in amazement, and praised Xia Fan for his good training, this cat is very smart and psychic.
It was so calm and unharmonious until the third day.
When Xia Fan wrote the 6,000 words of the day, he opened the author's background and was ready to upload a new chapter.
"Ding!"
A chime came from inside the computer.
Xia Fan was stunned for a moment, and then found that there was a new message in the "Writer Consultation" column in his author's background:
"Hello author, your work has been reviewed and has reached the criteria for contracting. Please wait patiently for the contracted editor to contact you and indicate your book title and author's name......"
This message was sent at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, when Xia Fan was still in school.
"Master Bao, look at this ......"
Xia Fan motioned for "Master Bao" to look over.
"What's this, isn't it just a sign? Sign it, after signing it, you can start making money when it is put on the shelf, anyway, don't you even have the money to go to the imperial capital to take the art exam?"
"Master Bao" glanced at him disdainfully, and said as a matter of course.
"Oh, okay, I just don't know if the editor is still there, it's already 10 o'clock in the evening. ”
Xia Fan still added the contact information left by the editor in charge in the message, and after leaving his book title and author's name, he continued to upload the chapters.
As a result, he didn't expect that before he finished uploading, he had already passed his friend application, and sent a message very quickly: "Hello, the author of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", I am your editor-in-charge Jiayi, and now I am also a loyal fan of you and "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", your book is so wonderful...... Ah, it's a bit far away, but the author has finally contacted me, do(╥_╥)you know how hard I've been waiting?"
"Uh, hello. ”
Xia Fan replied a little nervously.
The other party is a girl from the name or from the tone of voice, except for his cat, what he is not good at is dealing with girls, especially such an enthusiastic girl.
"Well, let's get down to business first, when your "Ghost Blows Out the Lamp" was uploaded to 20,000 words, I had already noticed it, and then submitted it to the editor-in-chief for review as soon as possible, and after the editor-in-chief and colleagues in the editorial department read it, they all felt that this was a good book that would definitely sell well, so before signing the contract, we would like to take a look at what you mean, do you plan to sign or buy out? ω??)”
Editor-in-charge Jiayi then asked, it can be seen that this girl is an emoji controller, and every time she finishes speaking, she has to add a cute expression, "I suggest buying out, in view of your level, our company can provide you with a buyout of 100 yuan per thousand words, which is an unprecedented high price for our website O(∩_∩)O~ And if it is a share, your income may be affected by the results after it is put on the shelf, which is not very stable (-o⌒)☆." ”
"This ......"
Xia Fan is thinking about a buyout of 100 yuan per thousand words, and he can earn a huge amount of 600 yuan by writing 6,000 words a day - as an ordinary high school student, Xia Fan really didn't think that he could make so much money by writing books, which is definitely a huge amount of money for him......
At this time, the "Master Bao" who was dozing off on the edge of the keyboard had already scratched his belly, sat up again and said, "Do you still need to think about this, of course it is shared! You are now following the palace to create history, the copyright of this book must be firmly in your own hands, and it will never be wrong to listen to the palace!"
"But if you earn 600 yuan a day, that's 18,000 yuan for 30 days a month......
Xia Fan didn't dare to think about what the 18,000 yuan meant, which at least exceeded the salary of his parents for two to three months of hard work together, how could he be willing to give up so easily?
"Meow meow, are you questioning Hongu's decision?"
"Master Bao" decisively sent a hygienic eye, his tail was as hard as an iron rod, and asked in a threatening tone.
