Looking at the editor coming back to this message,

Ji Zhuo was stunned, the pattern is so big?

On the other side, the non-ink editorial department,

Bimo was also stunned, because the last message was not replied to by him,

It was the editor-in-chief who simply stepped forward to reply to this message,

"Since the good guy has done it to the end, he might as well give a little more sincerity. Wait until the next book, when this author is serialized on the Internet, it is enough not to post it on other websites. ”

Pen and Mo turned his gaze, but the editor-in-chief smiled and explained.

Bimo paused, nodded and naturally had no opinion.

This way

Ji Zhuo was only stunned for a short time before reacting.

Anyway, the performance of this contract also starts with the work serialized on the Internet by the next chronicle.

There are also no guaranteed referral resources and benefits...... The only thing that affects when a contract is signed is the length of the contract.

Even if Ji Zhuo no longer serializes works on the Internet during the contract period, it will have no impact on Fei Mo and the first reading......

They didn't give anything.

Anyway, maybe Ji Zhuo made money, but the website will never lose.

"Clumsy and extraordinary: That's okay, thank you guy."

But since all the words have been said here, this contract is basically not binding on Ji Zhuo, and the conditions are rich enough. Later, the most important copyrights for serialization on the Internet fell into Ji Zhuo's own hands.

Ji Zhuo naturally did not need to refuse.

"Pen and Ink: Hmm. That's the same as before, you signed the contract and sent it in? Or if you have time, you can come over to Feimo? ”

"Clumsy and extraordinary: then I'll send it over......"

Ji Zhuo felt that it was not necessary to go on a trip in the past.

"Pen and ink: OK."

Non-Ink Editorial Department.

Pen and ink tapped on the keyboard and replied with a message,

The editor-in-chief sitting next to him saw that the most important thing was that the contract had been finalized and had already stood up.

"Then you can talk to this author, and I'll go and get busy with other things."

"Okay, editor-in-chief, you're busy."

"Hmm...... If the author is willing to reveal it, by the way, ask him what he is going to write directly in the next book? I'm also a little curious. ”

"The editor-in-chief also reads this author's book?"

"I can take a look at it when I am free on weekdays."

The editor-in-chief couldn't help but smile and answered, and then paused,

"By the way, do you need help with him? We can also help connect him with publishers. ”

"Okay, I'll ask."

The editor-in-chief nodded again and walked away.

Bimo turned his head again, paused at the penguin chat interface on the screen, and considered the sentence,

"Pen and Ink: Can you tell us what you are going to write next? Need help contacting a publisher? Fei Mo and Shi Yue also have some publishing houses that cooperate with each other on a daily basis. ”

"Clumsy and extraordinary: the high probability is science fiction, the small probability is other ...... I'm still thinking about ......"

It's that the subject matter is undecided, the outline is not written, and the first word has not appeared in the text.

Asking is writing and writing.

I understand the pen and ink, and I feel a little tired.

"Pen and Ink: ......

Bimo: Well, then you can send a message when you need help.

Bimo: Also, there's another thing I forgot to mention. About the copyright of "Shepherd Boy Seeking Immortals".

Bimo: During this period, more and more companies inquired about the copyright of "Shepherd Boy Seeking Immortals", and several of them had good bids. Would you like to talk to them? After all, the copyright of this book is also in your own hands.

Clumsy and extraordinary: copyright ah...... Let's talk about it again...... Can the big guy send me the situation?

Pen and Ink: ......"

Bimo felt more tired, and he felt as if he was working as an assistant and no one had paid him more.

"Pen and ink: Okay, big guy."

"Clumsy and extraordinary: Okay, thank you, big guy.

Pen and ink: yes. ”

Pen and ink replied to a message, and the chat interface was closed.

He felt a little tired, afraid that if he continued to talk about it, he might have a short life.

……

This way.

After Ji Zhuo replied to the editing message,

He quickly put away his phone again and looked up.

Now he was sitting under the shade of the green by the courtyard of the Guangming Welfare Institute.

A few of the children around him were either staring at him or listening with their ears tilted sideways towards him.

The old book is finished, the new book has not been opened, it is rare to have time, Ji Zhuo came to see these children again,

Before the editor sent the message, Ji Zhuo was preparing to tell the story to these children.

"Ahem...... Let's move on to the story. ”

Ji Zhuo looked at this group of children, and said again,

The children got closer, and gathered around Ji Zhuo, either listening attentively, or looking at it with anticipation,

Feeling quite accomplished?

“…… Today we will tell the story of a shepherd boy who lives in a remote village called Xinghua Village, and there is a hillside next to Xinghua Village. ”

"The shepherd boy slept too late yesterday, and is dozing under a tree on the hillside......"

"The Shepherd Boy Seeking Immortals" was originally a fairy tale written for children, so it was natural to tell it to children.

But before Ji Zhuo began to speak, he scrambled and said loudly,

"Old cow! Shepherd Boy Seeking Immortals ......"

“…… Shepherd Boy Seeking Immortals ......"

It seems that he knows some secret, and seems to show off what he knows,

Many of the children who were listening shouted and said.

Ji Zhuo couldn't help but pause,

Stunned,

Have these children already heard the story of the shepherd boy seeking immortals?

What do you hear?

"Have you heard this story?"

"Hmmm! Uh-huh! ”

"I've heard that...... It is a story from a book called "The Shepherd Boy Seeks Immortals". ”

The child scrambled to answer the road, followed by another child running away quickly,

When I came back, I had more books in my hand.

It is the first half of the physical book of "The Shepherd Boy Seeking Immortals".

"Brother Ji, this is the ......"

The child is like offering a treasure, Ji Zhuo looked at it, and it was still a hardcover.

“…… It's a big sister who donated it to the welfare home...... I donated a lot of books, and Aunt Ai read us the story before...... And that "Kesu...... Recovery" ......"

Without waiting for Ji Zhuo to ask, this group of children told the matter and the situation.

Listen to Ji Zhuo call good guys.

Which of my loyal readers donated to the welfare home?

Are you sure those books won't poison these kids?

"Ahem......"

Looking at the children in front of him, they were babbling and scrambling to talk about these books as if offering treasures.

Ji Zhuo couldn't help but cough dryly.

“…… Brother Ji, we have heard the story of the shepherd boy. Why don't you tell us the story of the stone man? ”

Xu Zihao next to him said expectantly,

The other children around him also looked at Ji Zhuo with blank eyes, or listened with their ears closer.

Apparently more interested in the story.

"Stone Man?"

When Ji Zhuo heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned,

But then I reacted.

“…… That's right, the stone man, the stone man who jumped out of the stone on that island, and he was still stepping on the hot wheels and holding a red tassel gun......"

This story was nonsense before Ji Zhuo, and I almost forgot it after a long time.

But the kids remember it quite well.

"Okay, then tell the story of the stone man."

Ji Zhuo smiled, and then continued to tell the story to this group of children,

“…… Didn't I say that after the stone man jumped out of the stone on the top of Penglai Island, there was a dragon king under the sea who came over to deceive his innate treasure, who knew that at this time, there was another immortal Taoist who had achieved cultivation from the sea, and the Taoist also heard the sound of the stone man's birth and rushed over. Seeing that the dragon king was deceiving the stone man, he used a trick to trick the dragon king.

This stone man was just born, and he was ignorant of the dragon king's dang, so he was going to give the red tassel gun in his hand to the dragon king, but as soon as he handed his hand over, he deviated from the direction and stabbed towards the dragon king.

The stone man still felt inexplicable, he felt that someone had pulled his red tassel spear, and he just wanted to apologize to the dragon king.

The dragon king who was stabbed revealed his true nature, and it turned out that he was an evil dragon locked up in the nearby dragon palace...... It's not a good dragon king at all......"

“…… When the Taoist came out, the stone found that the Taoist had three eyes, and the extra one was on his forehead. ”

As soon as the Taoist came out, he subdued the evil dragon king, and at this time, the stone man also reacted...... Guess what the stone man wants to do at this time? ”

“…… Apprentice! Apprentice! The Taoist is so powerful, the stone man must want to apprentice? ”

A group of children gathered around Ji Zhuo and listened with relish,

Hearing Ji Zhuo's words, he scrambled to say,

"Yes. It's apprenticeship. ”

Ji Zhuo said with a smile, anyway, it is also a current editor, and continued.

"This person, seeing that the stone man was born magical, and he was very pitiful to be alone, so he took the stone man to the door, and gave the stone man a name called Shi Sheng, and the stone man was born."

"Then this Taoist immortal, he told Shi Sheng that he lived in the capital of a human country, called Chang'an, in a Taoist temple in Chang'an City, and Shi Sheng, the stone man, followed the Taoist immortal to live in the Taoist temple in Chang'an......"

"Brother Ji, what's the name of the Taoist?"

“…… Call...... Well, his name is Yang Jian, and other immortals and Taoists all call him Yang Zhenjun. ”

"Let's just say that on this day, Chang'an's most famous Taoist temple Chang'an Taoist Temple held Luo Tian Da Jiao, invited Yang Jian, and the stone man Shi Sheng also followed Yang Jian, this Luo Tian Da Jiao is quite big, not only the immortals of the Taoist temple came, but also the gods in the sky, the gods of the land and mountains on the earth, and the emperors of the world, but they all went everywhere, and the emperor couldn't see those immortals......"

Ji Zhuo just told such a story to this group of children,

The children next to me listened attentively,

And so the time passed half an afternoon,

"Little clumsy...... Bring those hairy kids over for dinner......"

"Okay."

……

Time passes quickly.

"The Shepherd Boy Seeking Immortals" has been finished for several days.

But Ji Zhuo's new book has not been officially written.

Although I made up my mind to write a work in the science fiction genre,

But the specific theme and some general plots have not been determined at this time.

There are only some very trivial thoughts, but Ji Zhuo always feels that it is somewhat uninteresting.

These days,

Ji Zhuo went to the Guangming Welfare Institute and stayed for a day.

Most of the time in the magic capital...... Travel around, just the magic of the city...... Looking for inspiration, don't shiver.

Now

I just came out of dinner at the restaurant where I was said to be okay at home.

Ji Zhuo was walking aimlessly along the wide, lively or quiet roads in the city of the magic capital.

I just looked back and forth at all kinds of people on the street, but what I was still thinking about was the new book.

“…… In order to encourage the creation of excellent literary works and carry forward the new atmosphere of literary creation in the new era...... The National Writers' Association and the Ministry of Culture have decided to hold a number of activities......"

“…… Selling skewers, fried skewers and grilled sausages......"

"Magic City Specialty Food, Internet Celebrity Check-in Point ......"

"Star City stinky tofu, the authentic stinky tofu that Star City people love to eat...... Delicious, delicious and inexpensive......"

The TV in the electrical store at the intersection is playing the news for thirty minutes in the evening.

There are fixed food stalls on the street, and the stall owners are busy and busy, one after another, and the horns hanging next to them are also ringing.

Ji Zhuo glanced at it...... Well, I'm already full, and I really can't eat it, otherwise he will buy a copy too.

Turning his head again, Ji Zhuo looked at some people on the street again.

“…… I'll be there right away, isn't it a traffic jam on the road...... Uh-huh...... I'm passing by the outside of that snack street, why don't I bring you something to eat?" ”

Ji Zhuo ran over to a person, wearing a headset on his shoulder and making a call, while hurriedly zipping his clothes,

Look at this man's traffic jam...... The hair was not neatly tied, and it was obvious that he had slept late and woke up late.

Ji Zhuo turned his head, looked at it, and then turned his head back again.

“…… It's all your fault, take me out to eat this and eat that all day long...... You don't see it...... I'm getting heavier and heavier. ”

“…… You're just over a hundred years away. ”

"I'm one hundred and six, not fat?"

In front of a barbecue stand, a couple is talking to each other.

The man was a little helpless as he spoke, and it could be seen that he didn't quite understand what one hundred and six had to do with fat.

Ji Zhuo also raised his head and looked at it, and then turned his head back.

“…… I think I'm a little inspired......"

Ji Zhuo thoughtfully...... Though walking aimlessly on this street,

But all that was on his mind was the new book.

People tend to be receptive to the information they want to receive.

Here the streets are aimlessly walked.

Stopped and was distracted,

Ji Zhuo stopped a taxi,

I hurried back to my accommodation.

He probably had some idea for the new book.

……

"Sassy ......"

The cool evening breeze blows outside the study window, and the branches and leaves of the trees in the community,

The wind through the small gap by the window also shook the curtains slightly, and it seemed that it was going to rain outside.

The lights are on in the book house,

Ji Zhuo, who returned to the house, was sitting at the desk at this time,

On the computer screen, the codeword software is still blank.

He was pondering the name and synopsis of the new book, which had not yet been written.

to determine the basic tone of the book.

Before that, he had already revised and written a 100-word introduction.

But after reading it over and over again, I was still not satisfied, so I deleted it again.

The hand is still resting on the mechanical keyboard,

Ji Zhuo glanced at the codeword software that was still blank,

Then he turned his head to look out of the windy window,

It's just that it feels quite vibe,

If only the lights weren't turned on in his study, it would be more like a lonely boat in the night.

Turned back again,

Ji Zhuo paused,

"Crackling ......"

The mechanical keyboard is quite crisp and the sound of tapping sounds,

Ji Zhuo wrote the introduction of the new book.

"How can a caged bird understand its greatest value?"

The introduction is such a sentence,

But Ji Zhuo felt that it was enough, better than the introduction he had repeated in 100 words before.

Because of the name of this new book in the sci-fi genre,

It's finally settled,

It's called "Caged Bird".

Knock down the name of this new book.

Looking at the name and introduction of this new book,

A smile appeared on Ji Zhuo's face and smiled.

"Crackling ......"

Let's start experimenting with this new book.

Ji Zhuo smiled again and restrained his smile,

Immerse your thoughts in the world of the pen, in the study, the crackling sound is continuous,

The beginning of this new story is also gradually appearing on the computer.

“…… Wu Mu lay on the bed, tossing and turning, his mind just like the wind howling outside the house that could not be calmed - he was worried about the appointment of an associate professor tomorrow.

After graduating with his supervisor's Ph.D., he worked as a lecturer in the Department of History of the Faculty of Arts at Capital University, and tomorrow, he will finally be hired as an associate professor. Although he still has a fairly rich and solid knowledge and a good level of teaching and scientific research, he is still a little nervous, and he can't help but think about the teaching appointment ceremony that will not come tomorrow.

He even felt that the house he lived in was a little smaller, so that he felt a little depressed...... Thinking of this, Wu Mu couldn't stop smiling at himself.

Wu Mu, Wu Mu, the associate professor hasn't been appointed yet, but the room in the teacher's apartment is too small.

Unable to sleep, Wu Mu simply got up from the bed and walked to the window. Looking out the window at the dark night, some green trees were shaken by the wind.

Inexplicably, I feel that the house I live in is like a lonely boat in the dark night, or a cage?

Smiling, Wu Mu opened the window and ...... The wind poured in from outside, and at the same time there were some raindrops......

Also at this moment,

There are many people who can't sleep......"
