Chapter 11: Plan Ahead
To sum up, Li Shushan's new book "E-sports Pianist" is a main story about how female genius gamer Yu Shengfan climbed to the peak step by step.
This book can be compared to those more popular lol e-sports articles on the market "League of Legends: xxxx", but it is definitely relatively niche, first of all, the most difficult thing is of course that the protagonist is a woman, and secondly, the game is completely original, and there is no sense of substitution.
Li Shushan wrote this book in addition to being really interested in e-sports recently, but also wanted to see if he wrote an e-sports essay without any extraordinary power, and whether the heroine Yu Shengfan would suddenly pop out of the novel like Olivia.
He felt that this should be unlikely, Olivia was able to appear next to him, it was because she was a mage who was proficient in space magic, and Yu Shengfan was just a genius game Lori who was only 14 years old, could she play games through the plane?
Since Li Shushan decided to write "E-sports Pianist", he must be mentally prepared for a sharp decrease in manuscript fee income and even unable to rent a house.
He came from an ordinary background, his parents were factory workers in a small glass factory in the countryside, and their income was not much, so they could only give him 600 living expenses per month, which was really enough for food every month, but Li Shushan was not too little, nor did he complain, but declared to his family that his work-study as a tutor was enough to live in college, so that his parents could rest assured.
In fact, he can earn three or four thousand manuscript fees per month for writing "The Legendary Journey of the Mage", which is a huge amount of money for ordinary college students, in addition to the monthly rent and utility bills add up to more than 1,600, as well as other miscellaneous expenses, he can also save more than 1,000 yuan every month, which is indeed enough for him to live, anyway, he is a single house, and his consumption level is not as good as that of a dog.
But now, Olivia's arrival has finally given him a sense of crisis in terms of money, and he feels that at least where he and Olivia live, there must be at least two bedrooms, and Olivia's hidden foodie attributes are slowly awakening......
Li Shushan first ruled out the idea of making a lot of money by writing books, after all, he wrote books purely for his own amusement, not so much to make up stories, but to write down what happened in his head.
His novels are too logical and reasonable, and the development of the female protagonist and the unrefreshing plot are hard wounds, plus piracy that cannot be eradicated......
He thinks that writing a book, it's better to be happy, just keep the original intention, write a heroine who satisfies him, that kind of spiritual satisfaction, not money can be compared.
Li Shushan hit the idea of making money on Olivia's magic, and already had a preliminary idea, and he would discuss it with her when he went back today.
Wait, he suddenly thought that there was a spiritual connection between himself and Olivia, so he could contact her in his mind now!
He saw that the classmates in the class were chatting more and more, completely ignoring Professor Shi who was caught up in his own world on the podium, and he felt that he could also talk to Olivia without any pressure, and he didn't even need to make a sound.
He chose to crouch down on his desk, close his eyes, meditate, and recite Olivia's real name......
It didn't take long for him to feel that he had a close connection with the little sun in the spirit world, which made him sigh again at the magic of magic.
"Li Shushan, has something happened, aren't you studying in class, why do you have time to contact me?" Olivia sent a message of confusion, and she felt that there was nothing more important than learning about it.
Li Shushan directly shared his previous class memories in the past.
"Your tutor doesn't take you seriously at all, but it's understandable that your classmates aren't interested in his lessons, which is a luxury." Olivia commented rationally.
Li Shushan knew why Olivia said that it was a luxury for students not to listen to the teacher's class, because in her plane, high-end knowledge was almost priceless, and if she had the opportunity to listen to the lectures of high-level mages, even if she couldn't understand it, she must write down every word he said.
"Olivia, how did you make money legally in your original world?"
"Legal? Where is the law? Why should it be legal? Why make money? โ
"I'm going to eat!"
"What's the connection between eating and making money? We mages are not interested in money in the secular world at all, mages are traded with magic stones, and high-end knowledge and magic configuration are the most valuable real estate. โ
Despite this, Olivia still shared some ways to obtain money in the secular world with Li Shushan, and once passed by a small country, after revealing her identity as a mage, the other party directly insisted on giving protection money; After slaying the dragon, you can find all kinds of crystals and gems in the dragon cave, and then you can exchange them for a large amount of worldly money; And she is the princess of the Windsor Empire, the entire empire is relied on in the Mage Council, and her status in the eyes of the people is probably higher than her father who became the emperor, how can she be short of money?
In short, with his extraordinary strength, the mage can unscrupulously override the secular state, and the concept of making money legally does not exist, and the only one who can deal with the mage is the mage himself.
So Olivia is really a person who is not interested in money, and does not feel how important money is in the secular world.
Li Shushan has reason to believe that after Olivia found out that the two of them were short of money and couldn't afford to eat, she would go to the ATM machine to "pick up money", and felt that it was not illegal. Obviously, it is a waste to put so much money in an ATM......
As soon as he thought that Olivia would do this, Li Shushan felt that his head was big, which may be a trivial matter in Olivia's eyes, but if the banknotes in the ATM machine always disappear out of thin air, it will definitely gradually cause huge waves, after all, the state machine is not a fool.
"In our technological world, which is dominated by capital, the role of money can be said to be omnipotent. And legitimate money can be used without worries, which is why a lot of black gold needs to be laundered. Now that I have thought of a way to use magic to make money legally, would you be willing to cooperate with me? โ
"Your worldly money is indeed much more valuable than my world, and can be compared to a magic stone, so it is indeed necessary to possess it legally for the sake of safety, and I am willing to cooperate with you and support you in magic."
"Very well, I'd like to ask, is it possible to enchant anything?"
"As long as the equipment is engraved with runes, it can be enchanted, so you want to make money by selling magical equipment? That's not a lot of efficiency. โ
"No, what I want to ask is, can the app on the phone be enchanted?"
"(เนยฐโยฐเน), what is the app?"
