"Carol: Mr. A, rest assured, we still have the greatest confidence in your work, and believe that publishing it is the most correct decision for us at Bert Press in recent years."

Looking at Carol's words of 'comforting' herself,

Ji Zhuo felt a little embarrassed, feeling that others had great expectations for his works, but the results did not achieve the expected results.

It seems that I can't get rid of the publishing house.

So Ji Zhuo thought about it and replied with a message.

"Clumsy and extraordinary: Editor-in-Chief Carroll, thank you for your love of my work, but if this work is confirmed to be unsatisfactory in the market, there is no need for publishers to spend more resources on my work, so as not to incur unnecessary losses.

Carol: Mr. A, you can rest assured that the publisher will spend more resources to promote your work, and please believe that the early stage of the work is not as good as we expected. This work will definitely sell well, but it's just not time yet. ”

Looking at the message that Carol came back...... Ji Zhuo paused.

That's not the answer I wanted...... The book grades are so bad, and it's still pushed hard, isn't this a head iron?

People and authors don't say that if you can't be popular, you don't need to push hard.

Are you the author or am I the author, how do you feel that you care more about whether this book can be popular than me, the author.

And on the other side,

Carol was a little moved, moved by Ji Zhuo's understanding,

Look at how heartwarming this is to say, even if it may make your book sales plummet in the future, but it still fully takes into account the interests of the publishing house,

And this author and the publishing house obviously do not have too deep feelings, so it can only be said that he, the editor-in-chief and the reader, have a personal friendship with this author!

But although I was moved,

But Carol certainly won't just give up on this excellent book,

Not to mention that he is simply a reader who likes this work, and wants to see the mood of his favorite work selling well.

Let's just say that as an editor-in-chief who jumped ship, he used this book as the main work of the publishing house in the early stage.

There was no way he would have given up the book at this point.

Not to mention...... The book's first-day sales were all expected.

He wasn't much disappointed, he just wasn't surprised.

But think about it...... This is a serious work, before he didn't win an award, before his public reputation didn't rise,

His audience is small.

How many readers will read serious works, and how many readers will choose to buy serious works without choosing the works of famous artists,

And choose a work by a little-known new author?

So it's reasonable that online sales are so low, but so many readers choose to buy the book after reading it in offline bookstores.

It strengthened Carroll's confidence that the book would be a hot seller and win awards.

Everything is going in the expected direction, how could he give up this excellent work at this time.

"Clumsy and extraordinary: Okay then...... But it's still the same as before, if the market response of "Seven Sins" is not good......"

Carol said so, what else could Ji Zhuo say, but he was a little speechless.

"Carol: Mr. A, look, your work will soon be read and seen by more people."

"Carol: I'll keep an eye on the daily sales of the Seven Sins these days and tell Mr. A about you."

"Clumsy and Extraordinary: Well......"

Ji Zhuo and Carol ended the penguin chat.

Although a little speechless about Carol's head iron,

But the sales of "Seven Sins" on the first day were so 'beautiful' that Ji Zhuo was very happy.

Everything is going in the expected direction.

Soon I will be able to get the first month's system of six million encouragement funds, and then the second month...... Until three months to get it all!

Ji Zhuo thought about it, a smile appeared on his face, and he couldn't control it a little.

It's not that we're happy to be able to get the system wool,

It's just that the weather is nice today, you see, how big the sun is today.

Ji Zhuo felt that he was in a good mood today,

Then take advantage of today to open the book of 'Ming Xiu Plank Road'!

Holding the toothbrush back in my hand and continuing to brush my teeth was a little brisker.

……

"Whirring ......"

The sun outside the house is still scorching even after noon,

Reflecting through the window into the study, the sunlight swayed under the window.

The air conditioner rotates at a low frequency to keep the room at a suitable temperature.

Ji Zhuo had already washed up and sat down in front of the computer.

"Hoo ......"

After opening the codeword software, Ji Zhuo calmed down again and prepared to start writing a new book.

The first is the title of the book,

After so many days,

Ji Zhuo already has a relatively clear idea of how terrifying this book is to be written,

Based on these ideas, Ji Zhuo probably has several alternative titles.

"The hour hand leaps to death."

This is the first and first priority name,

And then there's,

"The hour hand points to death."

"Priority suspicion"

"Death is on its heels."

Ji Zhuo's mind went through these alternative names,

For the time being, I still think the title of the first priority book is good,

So I created a new book on the codeword software.

Wrote the title of the book - "The Hour Leap to Death"

And then, of course, is the introduction of the whole book.

Ji Zhuo sorted out his thoughts and considered the following sentences,

The hand rested on the keyboard again.

A crackling sound sounded, and then the deletion and modification were made, and the introduction of the new book gradually appeared on the codeword page.

"Introduction:"

"Listen, the hour hand is ticking, leaping towards death."

Originally, this introduction should have been longer,

However, Ji Zhuo felt that there was too much left, so he simply deleted it and left such a brief introduction.

Then I started a new chapter, and I was ready to start writing the main text.

This chronicle is expected to write down the length of the article,

It is still a physical publication that counts as a long story, and an online serial that counts as a medium or long story of two or three hundred thousand.

The story is not big, and the setting is nowhere near as grand as the other films have written.

The protagonist in the text is called Lin Yi and is a detective.

In what was an ordinary day, his life suddenly changed.

A countdown appeared in front of his eyes, and the countdown appeared strangely in front of his eyes, and only he could see it.

Every second that passes in reality, the number of this weird countdown decreases.

And the countdown appears for the first time, and the value displayed is 03325 seconds.

He was on the street at the time, and he felt creepy at the strange countdown that suddenly appeared in front of him.

Especially after confirming that the number remained in his field of vision as his gaze turned, and that no one else could see it at all,

Watch the countdown shrink little by little, even if you don't know what will happen when the countdown ends.

But it is precisely because of the unknown that the spirit is extremely tense.

Just as he nervously stayed in place, time passed minute by minute,

Finally, the countdown was still zero, and at that moment, Lin Yi's adrenaline soared, and the muscles all over his body couldn't help but tense,

And at this moment, there was an accident at the intersection opposite him,

A truck that ran a red light while there were no pedestrians, and when it crossed the intersection again, it twisted its steering wheel because of the electric car that suddenly appeared next to it.

caused the truck to roll over while driving, and the direction of the rollover was on Linyi's side.

Lin Yi, who was already extremely nervous, ran away from his original position almost instantly.

And almost immediately after, the overturned truck carried the heavy goods on the car, crushed the protective green belt, and flooded the location of Lin Yi.

Luckily escaped, Lin Yi, who escaped death, was panting heavily beside him,

I only felt that my brain was still buzzing, and when I came back to my senses, I found that the countdown in front of me had been reset again, and a fairly long number had appeared.

Obviously, this countdown is related to his life or death, and when the countdown in front of him reaches zero, he will be in mortal danger.

And here it goes,

Actually, it's not scary.

The scary thing is the next plot development.
