Chapter Ninety-Six: The Gambling Contract
First of all, in his small circle of friends, the only people who know that they are addicted to eating chicken, are Lunya, who has recently played games with him, Senpai, and Black Cat, and the only people who know the editor of Kagurazaka are Lunya and Senpai.
And now that the senior sister is back in retreat and writing, she can also rule it out, so there is only one person left.
Xiaomi muttered to herself in disbelief, "No, it won't." ”
Kagurazaka said viciously: "What won't be, hurry up and update, otherwise you will wait to come to the editorial department to write a manuscript." ”
Xiaomi came back to her senses and asked weakly, "Didn't I already hand over all the manuscripts to you before?" ”
Hearing Xiaomi's suspicious question, Kagurazaka's already softened face darkened again, "You're actually embarrassed to say that your manuscript has long been used up." ”
"No, didn't I give you a whole volume? How could it be gone so quickly! "Xiaomi was too scared to think of some 'dark' deals.
Kagurazaka was stunned for a moment, and then smiled wryly, "So you thought that one volume would last for a month, so it hasn't been updated?" ”
"Of course, I also learned from Lun and Chris, and generally light novels are basically one volume a month, not to mention that most of the first volume is just put on the Internet, so how can it survive November."
Kagurazaka's face was complicated, "It stands to reason that there is basically nothing wrong with what you think. Then he sighed, "But you're ignoring the popularity of Sword Art Online and the attention that the higher-ups are paying attention to this big craze. ”
Xiaomi thought of something, "You mean plus more?" ”
Although it is true that there is an almost universally accepted unspoken rule in the industry, because such a speed will neither affect the author's creation nor normal publishing, but there will be no shortage of some rule-breaking strongmen in the world.
For example, Mr. Senjumura Masa, who has a bad relationship with Xiaomi, also had the experience of publishing 5 volumes in three months because of his "quick writing" and popularity.
However, that is also the fact that Senjumura Masa's 'pen is fast' that can catch up with such writing intensity.
Think about it, a volume is about 100,000 words, 5 volumes are 50 words, and on average, it is 160,000 words per month, or about 5,400 words per day.
For student writers, this is really a hellish quest that only tentacle monsters can accomplish.
Xiaomi's face was pale, and after thinking that he could only be locked up in a small black room, he felt that his legs were going to be weak except for the days when code words were still code words.
"In short, Mr. Jinglu, you have to write a volume in 15 days."
"Alas!" Xiaomi was shocked, and then said categorically: "There is no update, there is a life, you want to give it to you." ”
"What do I want your life for? I just need you to update. ”
"Update a volume in 15 days, you still kill me directly, the result is the same anyway."
Seriously, even if it is a 12-hour code word update a day, it will take Xiaomi three days to complete a volume.
But I'm so busy, I have to go to school, I have to read novels, I have to play strategy games with Lun, and I have to spend a lot of time eating chicken. Where is the spare American time to update the novel, update, non-existent.
Xiaomi looked fearless, like a warrior who was about to go to the execution ground but still straightened his back, and he couldn't see fear at all.
As for whether you are really not afraid in your heart, only Xiaomi and God know.
Kagurazaka doesn't care either, she has been in the industry for many years, and she is used to delaying and urging drafts.
Although he doesn't have an old thief like the rich traitor and Tanigawa, he has seen a lot of dragging.
Like Seisune Izumi, who writes quickly and passes quickly, is the representative, and that guy often comes to the editorial office with a bunch of new work outlines and plans, and then goes back with a bunch of works that have been labeled as unqualified. Then barely deliver before the dead line arrives.
It is not surprising that such a thing as an author dragging his manuscript is commonplace. Therefore, reminders are also a compulsory course for editors.
Kagurazaka is calm now, and he doesn't care at all about Xiaomi's 'delayed declaration'. Now, even if you can't urge the draft, there is still a situation where the big boss is there, and I'm afraid that you won't be able to turn the sky upside down!
However, Kagurazaka will not do this unless it is absolutely necessary, and if some simple tasks cannot be completed, what is the value of his own people's existence.
"Our editorial department also understands the hard work of Mr. Jinglu, and we also know that the speed on our side is indeed much faster than that of other libraries." Kagurazaka gave the sweet dates first to show his attitude.
"But whether it's our editorial department or Mr. Jingyu, isn't all this for the results of Sword Art Online?" Kagurazaka asked rhetorically.
Xiaomi remained silent, and then said slowly: "But I have completed my task according to the quota, and it is your editorial department that has not done a good job." ”
"On this point, we are also very sorry that we did not inform the teacher in advance that you should speed up, but at this point, so many loyal readers are looking forward to your new work, and their support hopes that the teacher will stick to it."
Xiaomi gritted her teeth, "It's not all your fault. ”
Kagurazaka showed a trick, "We understand, but we are also willing to pay more price and compensation to the teacher as compensation." ”
"No, it's not about the money, it's about the sudden increase in my working hours, and I don't want to be squeezed by updates."
"Oh, so it's possible for Mr. Jinglu to complete the task in time!"
Once again, Xiaomi stopped talking.
Kagurazaka observed Mi for a moment, then smiled, "I heard that Kyoritsu-sensei likes to play a game lately, so let's make a bet." ”
