Before you know it, October is over.

At the beginning of October, after the Spark Literature Society published the novel "Dragon Knight", the popularity of "Dragon Knight" continued to rise.

By the end of the month, four editions of the novel had been released. (Spark Literature Society reissued the first single book)

Countless people are looking forward to the follow-up content published by the Spark Literature Society.

At the same time, "Wood Man", the author of "Dragon Knight", also became the object of heated discussion in Maple Leaf City.

Mixed reviews.

Some praise, others accuse......

Levi shines in the world of fiction, but encounters Waterloo in the cultivation of spells.

Basic Meditation Method (Mastery) 424/1000

[Small Fireball Technique (Beginner to Zero)] 53/1000

The cultivation of the Small Fireball Technique is progressing slowly.

In November, the ground outside Maple Leaf City is covered with red maple leaves, dyeing the ground red.

Levi put on a thick dress and hurried to the Spark Literature Society.

Although it has not snowed in Maple Leaf City, the temperature has dropped a lot.

With the exception of a few extraordinary professionals with amazing physique, the vast majority of them have already worn long sleeves and trousers.

As soon as he arrived at the door of the Spark Literature Society, Jimmy opened the door and hurriedly shouted, "Mr. Levi, come in, it's too cold outside." ”

Levi hurriedly slipped into the door.

"What did Mr. Gus call me for?" Levi asked as he walked.

Jimmy said: "The total sales of a single copy of the Dragon Knight novel have come out last month, and Director Gus called you here to explain to you about the remuneration. ”

"Oh."

Levi arrived at Gus's office, and after the two sat down, Jimmy stood next to him serving tea and pouring water.

Gus picked up a piece of paper and handed it to Levi, saying, "This is last month's sales record. ”

Levi glanced at the last line in a hurry.

"A total of 9,642 copies were sold in four editions."

Gus said: "In October, a total of four editions of the first four sections of the "Dragon Knight" novel were released, a single book was priced at 10 copper coins, and the sales volume of the second edition was best sold at 3,792 copies, and the number of subsequent sales declined slightly, but they were stable at more than 2,500 copies. ”

Hearing this, Levi nodded, indicating that he understood.

Gus continued: "According to the contract, the Spark Literature Society will give you half of the net profit after deducting the cost of the distribution of the Dragon Knight novel. ”

"Depending on the number of releases, the cost of publishing a single novel is also changing, and the more the number of releases, the lower the unit price."

"The second edition sold nearly 4,000 copies, and the unit price cost of each copy was reduced to 2.64 copper coins, and the first edition only sold more than 1,000 copies, and the unit price cost per copy was 3.33 copper coins."

"The cost per unit of the third and fourth editions is 2.98 and 3.06."

"In the future, there may be a situation where a single copy of the old version of the novel may be reprinted, so it will be difficult to calculate the cost in the future."

When Levi heard this, he said directly: "Director Gus, say what you want to say." ”

Gus smiled and said, "After the discussion of the high-level of the Spark Literature Society, we suggest that the unit price of each copy be constant at 3 copper coins to calculate Mr. Levi's manuscript remuneration, even if the cost increases due to the decline in sales, we will pay 3.5 copper coins per copy." ”

Levi thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "Yes." ”

Seeing that he agreed, Gus said happily, "Mr. Levi wait a moment. ”

He walked outside, and returned in a few moments, taking a cloth bag and handing it to Levi.

"The total remuneration for the novel in October is 33,747 copper coins, which is a total of 3 gold coins and 50 silver coins, please take it."

Levi weighed the weight of the bag and put it away satisfied.

The Spark Literature Club is really good, and it took the initiative to add some more money to him.

After receiving the money, Levi took his farewell to Gus.

Gus did not forget his duty as an editor, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Levi, don't forget this month's manuscript. ”

Levi said with a smile: "I will definitely not forget, I still count on writing books to make money!" ”

In October, in addition to meditating and cultivating mana, he practiced spells.

He also took the time to write tens of thousands of words of manuscripts and handed them over to the Xinghuo Literature Society.

Later, I thought it was too troublesome to pay once a week, so I simply told Gus to pay once a month, at least four chapters each time.

With the money, the first thing Levi did was to buy soothing incense.

The tranquilizer incense that I had purchased earlier had long since run out.

"Do you have any potions here?"

"Potions? It's the kind of thing that only mages make, we don't have it here, and besides, no one else can use potions except mages, so you can go to the Mage Tower and check it out. ”

Levi spent fifty silver coins to buy five soothing incense.

Five soothing incense sticks were probably enough for him to use for about ten days.

Returning to the Mage Tower, after thinking about it, he found Guze Sensei.

Gu Ze looked at him in surprise, "You want to buy potions?" ”

He said, "It's too early for you to use potions, not to mention that the lowest potions are worth at least a few gold coins. ”

Levi explained.

After listening to his explanation, Gu Ze showed a look of surprise.

"Every time you practice a spell, you consume mana to build a spell model?" Gu Ze asked unexpectedly.

When Li Wei heard this, he was slightly stunned and asked, "Isn't that so?" ”

Gu Ze laughed and said, "Of course not, only when you really release magic, you will use mana to build a spell model, and you only need to use mental power to build a spell model in your mind when you practice." ”

After hearing this, Levi was dumbfounded.

No one had told him about it before.

Gu Ze shook his head and said, "You are too anxious, after you pass the apprenticeship assessment next year and are promoted to an apprentice, the teacher will teach you how to practice the release spell." ”

When I returned to the dormitory, although I didn't buy potions, I knew the correct way to practice spells.

Levi lit the incense and tried to construct a model of the spell with his mental power in his mind.

In less than five minutes, the mental power constructed the spell model of the Little Fireball Technique.

It's much easier than using mana to build a spell model.

Soon, Levi discovered the difference between the two approaches.

The advantage of using mental power to build a spell model is that it is easy and simple, and the practice consumption is small.

The disadvantage is that it is not possible to practice improving mana control.

Practice doesn't consume mana, and naturally it doesn't increase mana.

On the contrary, it will lead to excessive consumption of spiritual power due to the cultivation of spells, which will affect the normal meditation and cultivation of mana.

There are pros and cons.

If you want to learn a spell quickly, you naturally give priority to the mental power building method.

Levi destroys, builds, destroys, and builds the spell model in his mind......

Constantly looking for faster build speeds.

He practiced for more than an hour in one breath and built fifteen spell models before exhausting his mental power.

Because of the headache caused by the excessive exertion of mental energy, Levi rubbed his temples hard to try to relieve the pain.

Not only did I have a headache, but I also felt nauseous and wanted to throw up.

"The limit is fifteen times, and at least a part of the mental power must be left to consume mana, and the maximum number of exercises is twelve times a day."

Levi took a deep breath and felt the pain lessen slightly.

He just lay down and rested and slept.

When I woke up, it was the next morning.

After forming a habit, Levi will naturally wake up at six o'clock every day.

Then meditate and practice for about an hour, eat at seven o'clock, and go to class at eight o'clock.

Early in the morning, Levi didn't try to practice spells, and mana cultivation was equally important.

He fetches water to wash his face, concentrates, and the water forms his handwriting.

[Small Fireball (Beginner Zero)] 68/1000

Seeing that the Little Fireball Technique had improved significantly, Levi smiled and exhaled a breath of heat.
