William Li touched the snail spirit Erin who was still trembling beside him with his left hand, and dragged his chin with his right hand to think: I still lack the power to attack and the auxiliary power to obtain target information.
There will be a lot of battles going on, but it's inconvenient to use Focus mode in battle, which is inconvenient for me, so I'm going to scrape together another 350 reputation points and buy the Refinement-level Intelligence Support Power.
As for using achievement points to upgrade power, I'll think about it later.
I've heard that Ash and Jennifer are friends, and they are both feeling very confused about the future of the knights, so let's see if we can trigger the event now.
Maple Leaf Publishing is located in the eastern part of Wagard, where merchants and wealthy people settled, and is also the center of Wagaard's economy.
The East Ward is a gathering place for conglomerates such as the Conglomerate, which controls energy, minerals, and numerous banks, and is characterized by the use of automatic bright street lights and automatic ring driving.
The area is marked by a silver-grey glow, with angular orebodies shining with blue crystals.
The traffic was busy, the crowd was endless, William Li looked at the Aomo locomotive driving outside the window, and sighed lightly:
"Probably except for the dragoon, the entire knight's profession has really declined, and now there is an arcane car that can run on the ground and swim in the water, what kind of bicycle do you need?"
The iceberg beauty opened her eyes and asked softly silently:
"Do you think so too? The future Sage Candidate-Elect ......"
William Li watched the Aomo motorcycle drive into the rich area, looking at the smooth and clean road and the lively shops on both sides of the road, and he felt like he had returned to the original world.
If it weren't for the existence of those non-human races around him, William Li would really regard this place as the earth.
He heard Ash's light joke and chuckled:
"Don't kid me, a sage is not something I can compare. But no matter what, the wheels of history are rolling forward, and the disobedient are crushed, and the obedient are also crushed. Maybe the publishing house will be in decline in a few decades......"
Ash herself is the president of Maple Leaf Press, and she investigates the growth rate of profits over the past 30 years and discovers a terrible fact, so she is eager to find a stepping stone to occupy the local market and increase profits.
She instantly understood what William Li meant, and maintained her style of acting that she couldn't show weakness and put on a friendly smile again.
"You mean touch tablets will replace our physical books?"
William Li was a little surprised, he didn't trigger the event or task, but Ash said the question that hit the nail on the head, he rubbed his temples and thought about it before he said softly:
"You should have noticed the decline of publishing houses, and there are more and more freelance writers on touch tablets, who can bypass you booksellers, so why not?
And...... Hmm"
Ash looked at the sweaty driver and assistant in front of him and covered William Lee's mouth,
"We'll talk to me later, we're here."
Although she is the image of the iceberg royal sister, she is still very gentle, Li William has praised it in his heart, he noticed the two driver assistants in front of him who were afraid of being extinguished, trembling and sweating, so he stopped talking with Ash.
William Li closed his mouth and remembered the hot post on the forum about the discussion of the Ice Cube X2 character, most players thought that she had a cold personality, but in essence, she was a gentle, delicate, mature and reliable royal sister.
Thinking of the discussion post, William Li recalled that he might be able to find easter eggs in the game in the other party's office, and there must be achievement rewards for the first time when he resells them to the system store, and it doesn't matter if the event is not triggered.
A small, minimalist and grim four-storey building appeared, which did not look like a merchant's place of work, but like a modern residence, gathering its own profound cultural atmosphere and hiding in a woods of birds and flowers.
Walking into the hall, William Li saw a beautiful young lady at the front desk, "President, good afternoon." β
Ash nodded coldly to the subordinates walking by him, without saying a word.
William Lee chuckled and accepted the bowing etiquette of these people.
After arriving at the president's office, the assistant stacked the documents on the table, and Ash's iceberg-like attitude as he sat on the sofa quickly melted, and said kindly:
"Sit down and feel like your home."
William Lee looked at the simple but luxurious golden office dΓ©cor, the soft wool blanket, the desk engraved with the rune circle buttons for various purposes, the sumptuous reception sofa, and the large bookcase with gilded oriental porcelain filled with flowers.
Looking at the office that was several grades better than the regimental commander's office of the Holy Horn, William Li showed a shy smile:
"Is it really okay to be your own home?"
He saw the other party nodding, remembering what he hadn't done in the game, he had long wanted to try it, so he walked to the cabinet next to him and took out a glass bottle of nuclear Coke, and held it in his hand to look at it:
"Wow, super rare cherry-flavored nuclear cola, this pink color is so tempting."
William Li turned his head to look at Ash and asked, "Can I drink this?" β
The snail spirit Erin tilted her head and looked puzzled, the things in William Li's hands were obviously very dangerous.
Iceberg Royal Sister Ash shook her head when she saw Erin's cute appearance, and said coldly:
"You're not afraid of death? The last person who drank the quantum-flavored Nuka Cola was already two meters tall, and while the blue and pink color was indeed tempting, it was nothing more than an ornament, and I don't know the origin. β
She swapped the stacking of Erlang's legs, revealing her tender white thighs, and said softly:
"If you want, I can sell it to you, at a twenty-percent discount, two thousand four hundred gold socks."
Li William's heart had already blossomed, and he looked at the other party's restrained and mature chastity and whistled with an unexpected expression:
"It's not cheap, but I bought it!"
Ash didn't understand William Lee's thoughts, and after thinking about it, he said:
"The two thousand gold socks for the signing fee will not be given to you until two months after the book is released, do you have that much money now? These decorations are not very useful, I can wait for you to have the money before selling them to you. β
William Li looked at the other party's expression, licked the bottle cap and shook his head solemnly,
"This is something I desperately need, and I can pay you right now."
"Patriarch, this one is dirty!"
William Li touched her short green hair and shook her head silently.
Ash watched William Li lick the cap of the bottle, took a deep breath, forcibly chopped William Li into mashed meat, and said helplessly:
"Whew~ Forget it. I'll send it to you now, and then there will be no signing fee for us. With the remaining 400 gold socks, you just have to explain what you just said in the car. β
William Li saw that the other party inadvertently exuded an arrogant posture of killing and killing, and suddenly felt that this was not a bad proposal, and his eyes lit up,
"Trench! Phew, okay. β
William Li has been waiting for an opportunity to show favor to the other party, so he told Ash about the impact of e-books on the earth on the bookseller.
Looking at the other party's worried look, William Li comforted the other party, the cost of a touch tablet is too high, and according to the current development trend of Aomo Technology in Vagaard, it will take more than ten years to have an impact.
The two sides signed a contract, William Li had to sort out the speech within three days and transfer it to Maple Leaf Press, and the subsequent profits would be divided into 70% for Maple Leaf Publishing House and 30% for William Li.
"Yes, my lord." William Lee picked up the white left hand of Ash, the brightest pearl in the bookseller's world, kissed the back of the iceberg princess's hand, and then turned away like a gentleman.
Ash took out a satin handkerchief to wipe away the slightly wet marks left on his hands, and said angrily and funny:
"It's as shameless as Jevernie said, and I wonder how much profit his book can bring me? Lakh? Or 200,000 gold socks? It's really exciting...... I'll go around you this time. β
William Li picked up a rare-grade cherry-flavored nuclear cola and ran out of the office directly with the snail spirit Erin, "I don't know how much prestige I can get for selling it?" According to an UP master in the video column of the forum, 2,000 points is the least.
If a little prestige only costs a gold sock, I will earn it with my blood, hahaha......"
