Chapter 14: Printing? Reprint!
Michio Suzuki is an ordinary high school student in the island country and a typical homecoming officer. Ever since he read the novel "Dating Wars", he can't stop every day.
Whether it's the natural night sword god Shika or the sick Lori Tozaki Kurumi, each one makes me feel my blood boiling, and I can't wait to get into the book to replace Wuhe Shidao and become the male protagonist who can seal the elves by kissing.
After school that day, he quickly ran to a nearby bookstore to ask the counter clerk.
"Is there a single book of "Dating Wars", please?"
"It's a coincidence that you came here, you just sold the last copy to that guest"
The bookstore teller replied apologetically.
After receiving a negative answer from the counter clerk, Michio Suzuki's eyes instantly became lost.
Looking at the customer pointed by the clerk, the other party was a high school student about his age, holding the new cover of "Dating Wars", and walked out of the store with a happy smile on his face.
Seeing the man's expression, Suzuki Michio's heart seemed to have received 10,000 critical blows, and his facial muscles began to twist and tremble.
This is already the third bookstore he has run. Damn, didn't you say that there were 10,000 copies printed in the first place, how could there be so few. Michio Suzuki roared in despair in the bottom of his heart.
After Michio Suzuki said some words to the clerk urging the goods, he looked for the next bookstore in frustration.
This is not an isolated occurrence in many bookstores in Tokyo. And Inoye Ichiro, the editor in charge of Shingo Harano of Whisper Publishing House, also sweated profusely in his own company to answer the phone one by one.
All of them have to be printed, and the core content of every phone call is, print!
Inoue Ichiro was overjoyed and went to the editor-in-chief to report the reprinting of [Covenant War], which can be said to be the best novel under him.
Although Inoue Ichiro had signed a few books, but his grades were mediocre, the explosion of this [Appointment Battle] really gave him a surprise, he had already seen the glittering promotion and salary increase beckoning to him, how could he not be excited.
Be sure to print 20,000 copies, no! 30,000 copies. Inoue roared in his heart as he ran.
"Allow me to refuse, I am not only the editor-in-chief, but also a staff member of a company."
The editor-in-chief, Sanada Jiya, calmly said to Ichiro Inoino, whose face was very excited and flushed.
Although the sales of the first printing are amazing, you must know that after the first printing is sold, it may be saturated, and I think 20,000 copies is the limit in the current situation. The editor-in-chief, Sanada Jiya, first analyzed the results and then said rationally.
"But..., well, I agree with you. I'll arrange the printing right away. ”
Inoue Ichiro swallowed the words he wanted to refute alive, then agreed with the editor-in-chief, and hurried out of the room to call the printing factory to arrange for printing.
Sanada Jiya looked at Inoue's hurried departure figure, shook his head with a smile, and commented silently in his heart. This kid is very mature on weekdays, and he has done everything very well, but the results of the few novels he signed before are not so good, and it seems that he still needs to polish it.
In the past few days, Shigo Harano has been going to the classroom every day to look at Igarashi and get tired of it, and then at noon, Ai Fukuhara sent a bento box to Shingo Harano every day to eat together, and Nobita Yamashita also inserted it with a sloppy face.
Today is Saturday, Shingo Harano is sweating and doing push-ups in his yard, and Xiao Jiro is sitting on the wooden board under the eaves and looking at his master motionlessly, and now he has more than half of the exercise method of a certain bald man, sixty push-ups and sit-ups each time, and running twenty laps around the yard.
Because he was about to reach the end when he saw the progress bar under the body transformation skill, Shingo Harano, who couldn't wait, deliberately increased the amount of training today.
Finally, the familiar blue font appeared in front of me.
Congratulations to the game character's skill: [Body Transformation] has reached lv3 and strength +1
At the same time, Shingo Harano's body once again felt the warmth that seemed to return to the mother's womb, and every part of his body was flowing through the warm current, and Harano clearly felt that his muscles were tighter, and his torso was more powerful and active.
Satisfied, he shook his body with satisfaction, and Shingo Harano opened the skill panel with his hand:
Character: Shingo Harano
Age: 16
Strength: 7
Spirit: 7
Skills: [Body Transformation Lv3] [Hand-to-Hand Combat Lv2] [Writing Lv2] [Singing Lv1] [Aikido Lv1]
Yuan Ye, who put away the panel, wiped his sweat with a towel placed on the railing next to him, turned around and walked into the house. Xiao Erlang also got up in an instant, wagged his tail, and followed Yuan Ye into the house.
Yuan Ye Shingo, who glanced at it, sighed in his heart that this reaction is really not something that people can have.
As soon as he picked up his phone, Shingo Harano found that there were more than a dozen missed calls, and when he looked closely, it turned out to be Inoue's editor.
Shingo Harano instantly remembered that today seemed to be the day when the book was released, and he really forgot such a big thing because he was only interested in studying and exercising these days, so he immediately pressed the dial button and called Inoue Ichiro back.
Before he could wait a few seconds, the other side of the phone was connected and a sound sounded, and Ichiro Inoinoe's excited voice came out instantly.
"Yuanye-kun, it's exploded, our covenant has exploded. What the hell are you doing, why don't you answer my phone all the time, and you don't care about your work so much?! Ichiro Inoino, who was on the other side of the phone, called out with a little emotion.
"I'm sorry, because I was exercising just now, I didn't see a call coming in from my phone for a while." Although Shingo Harano can still be calm, he also replied to Inoue Ichiro with a slight apology.
Now Shingo Harano's mind is full of two words.
Exploded!
In other words, it is on fire! In other words, money.
Full of money, the profit of just this 10,000 single books has reached about 300,000 yen, which is undoubtedly a big fortune for Yuanye!
"Great, Editor Inoue, then this book should still be reprinted, right?" Shingo Harano suppressed his joy slightly, and asked Inoue a little nervously.
"Of course, 20,000 copies were printed! 20,000 copies! ”
"I was still communicating with the printing factory just now and you called, I originally recommended 30,000 copies to the editor-in-chief, but the editor-in-chief thought that we were too big a step, so the final number of additional printing was 20,000 copies......
On the other side of the phone, Inoue Ichiro was still chattering about his efforts and praising the book's sales, but Shingo Harano didn't listen closely.
The corners of his mouth gradually hooked, and it became more pleasing to the eye when he looked at Xiao Erlang who was splashing under his feet.
The little erlang in the circle stared at his dog eyes and looked at the owner of the machine with a smirk with some strange eyes.
Today is a good day.
Shingo Harano finally took his first steps to become a popular light novelist.
