Three days passed.

Levi attended classes during the day and wrote novels at night after returning to practice.

Take a look at "Mage Legend 8" once in a while to learn about the customs and magic knowledge of various places.

During the recess, Mr. Guzawa sat on the podium drinking tea and reading books.

The students whispered in the classroom about the recently popular novel "Dragon Knight".

The total population of Maple Leaf City is only more than 200,000, and the number of rich people is only one-tenth, only 20,000 or 30,000.

Among them, there are even fewer who like to read.

The reading circle is very small, and everyone basically knows each other.

After someone read "Dragon Knight", they happily recommended it to those they knew, and soon the novel became popular in Maple Leaf City.

The apprentices of the Mage Tower are also basically aware of this explosive novel.

Someone has seen it, someone has heard it.

"Bathing in dragon blood, can you really awaken the dragon bloodline?"

"Impossible! The novels are all made up, the dragon's blood is as hot as magma, and humans bathing in dragon's blood will only be burned to charcoal. ”

"How could it not be? Adam in "Legend of the Dragon Slayer" is the most powerful warrior after killing the dragon, devouring the dragon's blood to obtain the dragon's blood! ”

"Can that be the same? One is an ordinary person, and the other is a dragon slayer! ”

……

Ordinary people are concerned about whether Wren can survive the crisis and succeed in revenge?

The apprentice of the Mage's Tower is more concerned about whether the adventures told in the novel are real.

Gu Ze slowly closed the fifty-sixth edition of the Xinghuo Anthology, picked up the lesson ruler and knocked on the table, and said, "It's class." ”

When everyone heard this, they hurriedly returned to their seats and quieted down.

After class, Levi went to the Spark Literature Club with the follow-up manuscript of "Dragon Knight".

When Jimmy saw him, he couldn't believe that the author of "Dragon Knight" was so young.

"Hello, I'm your editor Jimmy."

"Hello, I'm Levi, the mage apprentice of the Mage Tower, and the author of "Dragon Knight", Muren."

Levi gives Jimmy a follow-up manuscript for Dragon Knight to prove his authorship.

When Jimmy saw the follow-up plot of Wren embarking on the road of revenge, he was shocked and quickly flipped through it.

After watching it for a while, he suddenly realized that he was still receiving Levi.

He hurriedly put down the manuscript and smiled a little embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, the novel you wrote is too fascinating." ”

Levi smiled, "It's okay, it's my pleasure." ”

Jimmy hurriedly took him to the editorial director, who learned that the author of "Dragon Knight" had come and received him personally.

Levi and Goose, the editorial director, sat in the room and talked, and Jimmy hurriedly poured tea and water for the two.

Gus glanced at the follow-up plot of "Dragon Knight" a few times, turned his head to look at Levi, and asked, "Mr. Levi, the Spark Literature Society is willing to buy out the "Dragon Knight" novel at a high price. ”

Levi shook his head and said, "I don't plan to buy out "Dragon Knight", I hope to sign a sharing contract with the Spark Literature Club to get a part of the income from the novel, and in return, my works will only be published in the Spark Literature Club in the future." ”

Gus was embarrassed: "I'm sorry, but there is no precedent for this kind of thing in the Spark Literary Society. ”

He persuaded: "The remuneration of the sharing contract may not be as high as the buyout price, the buyout price given by the Spark Literature Club can definitely satisfy you, why don't you think about it?" ”

Levi shook his head and said, "No, I'm only thinking about dividing the contract." ”

Guss looked slightly embarrassed, and didn't know how to continue talking to Levi.

If you buy it out, you only need to estimate the sales volume of the Spark anthology every month, and then subtract the costs and manuscript fees of all aspects, and you can calculate how much money you should spend to buy out the "Dragon Knight" novel to make money.

But if it is a share, there are too many factors involved, and just how to calculate the income can be confusing.

After all, the Spark Anthology not only publishes the "Dragon Knight" novel, but also other people's articles and poems.

Levi also thought about this when he came, and he thought of a solution on the way here.

He looked at Gus and said, "I'm also a loyal reader of the Spark Anthology. ”

Hearing this, Gus looked up at him.

Levi continued: "The Spark Anthology only comes out once a month, and the update speed is too slow. ”

Gus said helplessly: "One book a month is still barely maintaining the level of the Spark Anthology, and there are fewer and fewer high-quality manuscripts, and we can't help it." ”

"I propose to publish a new single book dedicated to the Dragon Knight novel, updated weekly," Levi said. ”

Gus was surprised and asked, "How is it possible to update it once a week?" Even if you only update one section at a time, you can't create a new story every week. ”

Levi was speechless in his heart, is it difficult to update five or six thousand words a week?

In the past, he could update 20,000 words a day.

He didn't argue with Gus about this, it didn't make any sense, he just spoke with facts.

Li Wei said: "So far, the content of the novel I have submitted has reached 60,000 words, which is enough to be divided into ten publications, and it can be updated for at least two and a half months. ”

When Gus heard this, he thought about it for a moment, and felt that it seemed feasible.

According to the current sales trend, if it is really changed to a weekly edition as Li Wei said, the sales in two months will be higher than the sales of the Spark Anthology in one year.

Crucially, this won't have much of an impact on the Spark Anthology.

The Spark Anthology mainly publishes poems, articles, and travelogues.

Anthology readers are not the same group as fiction readers.

Novel readers may buy the Spark anthology in order to read Dragon Knight, but those who want to read the Spark anthology will not give up buying the anthology just because they have bought a novel that is released separately.

Gus was already a little moved.

Gus said to Levi, "Wait a minute, I'm going to discuss this matter with the rest of the Spark Literature Club for a while." ”

He looked at Jimmy and said, "Jimmy, you sit here with Mr. Levi for a while." ”

Jimmy hurriedly responded, "Okay." ”

Levi drank his tea, but he was not in a hurry.

I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.

Now, the name of "Dragon Knight" has been played, and if he takes the manuscript to any literary club, there are people willing to take over.

It is the Spark Literature Club that should be in a hurry.

After discussing with the founders of the Spark Literature Society, Gus felt that the plan was feasible.

Eventually, Gus returned to his room to discuss with Levi about the percentage.

After intense discussions, it was finally determined that after deducting the cost of the "Dragon Knight" novel, the net profit would be divided into fifty and fifty accounts.

After signing a business contract with the Spark Literary Society, Levi prepares to leave.

Gus stopped him and said: "The first section of "Dragon Knight" has been published on the Spark Anthology, and it is not easy to calculate the contribution fee, so the Spark Literature Club will give you the manuscript fee for this month's novel according to the original buyout price, and the contribution fee will be calculated from next month. ”

Hearing this, Levi nodded, not dwelling on this trivial matter.

Until Gus gave him fifty pieces of silver.

Levi was surprised: "So much money? ”

Gus smiled: "Originally, the Spark Literature Society planned to spend three gold coins to buy out the manuscript of the first six sections of "Dragon Knight", if you regret it now, you can now re-sign the buyout contract." ”

Levi was dumbfounded, he didn't expect Gus to still think about buying out his novels.

Putting away fifty silver coins, he shook his head and said, "No." ”

He smiled confidently: "The sales of "Dragon Knight" will definitely exceed your expectations. ”

Gus smiled, "Then I'll see." ”
