Mu Yan stood outside the workshop and stopped to stare, but didn't go in for a long time.

When he looked up from his busy work, he was surprised to find that there was a familiar face in the workshop.

In Gawain's words, this is still the kind of big guy who "can't afford to pay the commission".

When did Old Man Ian come? Why did it come all of a sudden? What about the Silver Candle Club?

Mu Yan suddenly felt a big head, maybe something happened outside during the time he was busy and dizzy. He hurriedly took out the communication stone and communicated with Ricky, and after understanding the ins and outs, he couldn't help but squint his eyes.

I really underestimated Kane's Horn......

This gang of ruffians and hooligans who stepped on dog shit at the beginning of the founding of Jialan and got rich and embarked on the road of counterattack, even after so many years, even if they lay on the gold coins like a dragon and rolled for so many years, they have never washed away a mean, stingy, and short-sighted little person posture on their bodies.

Who says money can change a person's temperament? This is a living example in front of him, a small role is still a small role, even if he has the wealth of a rich country, he still can't avoid making mistakes in key choices, Mu Yan thinks that even if they are stupid, they can understand that their development over the years depends on the Silver Candle Club, but who knows that this group of fools is blindly arrogant to this point......

Some plans should indeed be changed.

After a moment's thought, he pushed the door open and entered.

Mu Yan's movements were very light, and Mr. Ian was also obsessed with his work, and he didn't notice it at all.

He was drawing a cover under his hand, a landscape painting, which at first glance seemed to be a dark night, the color scheme was oppressive and heavy, but there was a glimmer of light on the horizon from the very center.

It is obviously an ordinary flat painting, but it has a three-dimensional sense under the old man's hands, and this ray of light is particularly dazzling, as if it penetrates the back of the paper and goes straight to the depths of the soul.

The old man probably drew his own state of mind into it.

He still has a lot of samples scattered in his hand, all of which are blank pages with colored edges in the booklet, some of which are classical and timeless, revealing a sense of accumulation and vicissitudes, some are playful, brisk, and as lively as young people, and some are just and peaceful, like an eternal river, flowing slowly.

Mu Yan glanced up at Armand, who shrugged helplessly, and then gave Ian a thumbs up.

Mu Yan suddenly smiled, which probably meant "I didn't ask him to paint so much, it was all requested by the old man himself."

In addition to the intensive study of magic patterns in Ian's life, history, literature, music, and painting are almost everything, and the magic patterns of non-master scholars and paintings are in the same vein to a certain extent, so he can naturally have this kind of artistic attainment.

What's more, there is no PPT in this world, and all of Professor Ian's "courseware" and handouts are done manually, so his design ability is also quite outstanding.

Mu Yan stood behind the old man and watched silently for a long time, until he finished and stretched his waist, only to find that there was a person standing behind him.

This was the first time he had seen the boss in the nearly twenty days since he came to the workshop, but now Mu Yan looked like a serious student.

It was Ian who got excited first.

"Quick! Tell me quickly, your spiritualism here, how does this spiritualism work! ”

Mu Yan slapped his forehead, and then remembered that the biggest purpose of magic refining was not to purify magic power, and then strengthen the spirit possession technique......

But in this room, compared to those magic brooms that sweep the floor and can't turn corners so they can only sweep the streets, the two brooms that can drill up and down and jump and beat people are simply geniuses......

But this can't be said, at least not now, the devil knows what impact this will have on Jialan's technology tree, and the industrial revolution must also pay attention to moisturizing things silently, and the original science and technology system cannot be destroyed.

"It's a trade secret, and it can't be promoted on a large scale." Mu Yan said helplessly: "I'm very sorry, Mr. Ian, I've been busy with other things during this time, so I came to see you." ”

"It's nothing, I should thank you for taking me in." Ian smiled, seemingly unconcerned about being abused by the men of Kane's Horn.

"By the way, what kind of bonus are you talking about, I have designed several sets of templates, you see, which one should be used?"

As he spoke, he handed the things at hand to Mu Yan.

Mu Yan waved his hand at Armand, who immediately ran over and pointed to the three sets of templates to discuss with Professor Ian.

Looking at the way the two were discussing, Mu Yan suddenly felt relaxed.

The workshop is also beginning to take shape, and he can finally enjoy what it is like to be a hands-off shopkeeper......

-------------------

On June 21, the 30th issue of "Bignius" was released as scheduled.

Deres got up early in the morning as usual.

Speaking of which, because of the damn newspaper, he was getting up earlier and earlier, and his previous routine was not as good as that of some people who were nervous about it, which made him very dissatisfied.

He has always thought that he is different from the flowers in the greenhouse, he has seen the world, he has experienced the test of life and death, he has survived three days and three nights in the ice and snow under the Kadra Plateau without closing his eyes, and he has also experienced a fall and woke up in the herdsman's home a week later, so although he usually does not express it, if he loses to others in this trivial matter related to self-discipline, he will feel sorry for this experience.

After all, he is the man who claims to want a copy and buys all the newspapers.

But recently, there have been more and more competitors, because the stories are fascinating, the production of newspapers has always maintained a high standard, and more and more "rubbing parties" have turned into buying parties, mostly with the purpose of cherishing.

There are even many people who form small circles, and each person is responsible for buying the first phase as a way to reduce the financial burden.

In a way, this newspaper has really changed the habits of many students.

When the line reached him, Dres expertly threw coins into the box.

"Bell"

This is the crisp sound of gold coins popping on the inner wall of an empty chest.

0.74 seconds, this time a little slower than usual.

However, this time it was not only a roll of newspaper that popped up, but also a pamphlet as thick as a little thumb.

The booklet is larger than an adult's palm, and it looks exquisite, and the picture on the surface alone looks extraordinary.

"It's ...... For me? ”

Deres didn't have time to hesitate, the people behind him had already begun to urge, so he had to put it away first and walk aside.

He did not rush to leave this time, but stood still and watched for a while, but after him, 11 people passed in a row, and it was not until the twelfth that the booklet was also obtained.

When the man got the booklet, he gave it to the fellow who had been waiting for a long time, and his attitude was quite respectful, and before Dres could go to him, the man with the newspaper came up first.

"Hey, buddy~" He looked enthusiastic and also spotted Deres early in the morning.

"You ......"

"It doesn't matter." The man raised the book in his hand, "Do you know what's going on?" ”

Deres shook his head, "I just got it, too." ”

"My name is Fello, and the next class is "From Kragon to Lingua Franca", let's take time to talk after class?"

Dreis was taken aback, "Coincidentally, I'm also in that class." ”

"That's together!"

Fellowo expertly hooked Deres on the shoulder, who was stunned for a moment, but did not dodge.

There seems to be an inexplicable affinity in this guy.

……

The same scene played out all over the academy, and it wasn't until these self-proclaimed "lucky" guys chose a time and place and solemnly opened the pamphlet that they realized what it was and where it came from.

The first page makes it clear that this commemorative book, titled "Bonus", is a gift to the purchasers of the 30th consecutive issue of "Bignius" (excluding the first issue) as a thank you for their long-term support, completely free of charge.

The content of the bonus is divided into three parts.

The first part is the impressions of the newspaper creators, such as the opportunity to start the newspaper, the resistance encountered during this period, and the experience of some market research, so that readers can feel the "sincerity" and "mental journey" of a producer for the first time.

And at the end of the first part, Mu Yan also said that he would accept contributions for a fee in the future, and interested creators in the academy can go to the "Youyue Workshop" in the Demon Pivot District to submit, including but not limited to poetry, and even major inventions and discoveries in academic research.

"Is this not sure that you want to steal business with Kane's horn......" Fello couldn't help but sigh when he saw this.

But it's also the first publisher in the city to publicly accept academic submissions, especially in an era when the paper format is not even popular.

The second part is the planning for the future, Mu Yan vaguely revealed that there will be a major event in the academy in the near future, I hope everyone will wait and see, and said that similar activities will be carried out in the future, and I hope that the current "full subscription" readers can be maintained.

"I don't know how many people will cry and be blind." Dreis gloated, he knew several guys who didn't buy because they were only one or two issues away, and they might have just felt regret before the bonus was issued, and now they may have regretted it to the point that their bowels are blue.

The third part is the main and thickest part, and at the same time, it's definitely the most exhilarating.

An interview with Mr. Eric, author of A Song of Frost and Fire!

From the perspective of creators, Eric summarized the creative ideas and future fates of several popular characters without too much spoiler, and supplemented the historical materials for reference - which is equivalent to providing reading materials for many "frost scientists". At the same time, he also added the relevant settings of Westeros, including the family crests, coats of arms, history, religious beliefs, past grievances, etc., and included a panorama of Westeros.

The drawings are only one page in the book, but when they are spread out on the table, they are three-dimensional projections, and the mountains, rivers, cities, and wilderness are all available and lifelike.

"The cost of this page of drawings alone is not less than 10 gold coins." Philo sighed again.

Although he is not an alchemist, as a prince who has seen the world, he still understands something.

"The high cost is nothing." "I estimate that no more than 500 copies of this thing can be obtained on the entire campus, which is only the sales of two issues of the newspaper, but its significance is not trivial, it represents the wisdom of vision and foresight, especially the group of nobles who missed it, most of them will beat their chests." ”

When Deres said this, he didn't think that the other party would be a nobleman, after all, where would a nobleman sit with him so kindly and discuss the newspaper......

Philo smiled helplessly, it seemed that it was indeed as the other party said, this cost was nothing.

But he also became more and more curious about how many surprises this Mr. Mu Yan could bring to himself. And he couldn't help but wonder how such a precise bonus distribution could be done.

……

Underground, countless faces on the crystal light curtain intertwined, flickered, and rotated back and forth.

After careful comparison and retrieval, it is finally summarized into a string of numbers.

"The theoretical number of bonuses distributed is 477, the actual number of distributions is 441, a total of 36 people do not match their identities, the list is as follows: ......"

Xia Mu's cold voice sounded, and Cha Cha immediately wrote down the results in a notebook, and copied down the names of the thirty-six people one by one.

This is Mu Yan's order, after all, not everyone needs to buy it in person, and most of the customers who can call others to help run errands are not ordinary, and this part of the people happens to be part of the tap water, so they dare not slack off.

The actual figure is basically in line with Derees's guess, that is, less than 1/6 of the average sales of 3,000 are fully subscribed, and most people have more or less interrupted their purchases.

As the saying goes, rare things are precious, so the booklet has suddenly become a rarity, a symbol of vision and wisdom, and the name of the Moon Workshop will become more and more well-known with this popular science.

Both on-campus and off-campus.

In fact, "Bignius" is far more well-known outside the school than Mu Yan imagined, and the root of all this is His Majesty Lawrence II.

Aristocrats, in this era of peace, most of the gossip about whose son is married, whose daughter is married, whose family is caught cheating, and whose family is unexpectedly pregnant, these special information that does not involve much hidden information such as wealth and status can often show the breadth of a person's sources and the weight of curiosity.

And the most famous joke in the circle some time ago is the story of His Majesty Lawrence II kicking the Perez slut out of the palace. Who would have thought that the famous Lady Bonnie would be so restless in the palace that she would get involved with the chief of the guard, and she would have the audacity to reproduce the scene in the palace......

Now not only the hero and heroine of the accident are famous, but also the book "A Song of Frost and Fire" is also known to many people, and people have ideas about the specific content of the story because of the plot of this scene, so they began to inquire about its publications, and then learned about the new hot topics of Jialan Academy.

In this way, "Bignius" became a must-read in aristocratic circles, and those nobles also rarely put aside gossip after tea and dinner, and began to discuss the plot of the book. After all, this story is a fitting combination of wind and snow, with a hint of playfulness and humor in the heaviness, and the occasional bloody conflict also gives people a different kind of stimulation.

All in all, there is not only a forced qualification, but also a connotation.

What's more, it's also a status symbol - after all, it's the Academy's newspaper and not the Magic Daily, which means that the first person to know the story is equivalent to telling others very implicitly, "Our kid is good enough to get into Jialan, and he bought this newspaper with a unique discernment."

This kind of unobtrusive pretending is really unstoppable for some nobles.

There are at least 7,000 resident nobles in Falan City, but there are only about 500 Falan indigenous noble students in the academy, which is a very telling number.

And the arrival of this "bonus" has infinitely magnified this honor.
