Chapter 11: New Books
Time flies, time flies.
In the blink of an eye, Pang Xie has been in Chunming Mansion for a month, if he is still in Chang'an Mansion, he can experience what a hot summer is, but Chunming Mansion is like spring all year round, and the temperature is still maintained at around 20 degrees, which is a very comfortable temperature.
After a month of hard study, Pang Xie has caught up with the progress of other students, and even faintly ahead of his time, and began to learn the content that will only be involved in the next school year.
Speaking of the assessment, this matter made him a little depressed, Yue Qingyan's father, that is, another Professor Yue, has not come back yet, Pang Xie asked Yue Qingyan twice, and said that he didn't know, and Pang Xie couldn't ask again, after all, he and Professor Yue had never met, and asking too much might cause suspicion.
Professor Yue did not return for a long time, and Pang Xie secretly complained to himself, not because of lack of patience, but because of insufficient money.
For hundreds of years, the vitality of heaven and earth has declined, and now although it has recovered a little, it is not enough to support cultivation, as long as it is not a blessed land, no matter where the concentration of vitality is about the same.
He was studying at Nanzhao University, so naturally he didn't have time to go out to work, although he didn't have no food and clothing, but the money to buy medicine was gone, and he couldn't prepare all kinds of drugs to nourish his vitality, and his cultivation progress slowed down.
In the past month, he has been studying hard and can still endure the lack of vitality, and now that his schoolwork has caught up, the problem of cultivation is in front of him again.
However, Pang Xie not only has no time now, in fact, even if he is willing to go out to work now, he can't earn much money, he has no diploma, and he lacks a skill, so it is not easy to find a high-paying job.
With his current skills, if he robbed it, he would only be idle to make money every day, but this would go against his original intention.
In addition, another thing that made him feel quite depressed was the four runes he obtained the last time he sacrificed the core of the magic weapon.
After he obtained these four runes, he immediately went to identify the abilities of the four runes, and found that the names of these four runes were "Shengguang", "Sun Covering", "Fog" and "Marrying Dreams".
The abilities of these four runes are very straightforward, the description of the "Generating Light" rune is very simple, that is, it emits light, and the "Occultation" rune can eliminate the light, these two are considered a pair. The "Cloth Mist" rune can produce fog, and the "Marrying Dreams" rune can give people dreams.
Pang Xie was quite speechless after reading the effects of these four runes.
If the "Shengguang" rune is still magical in ancient times, but in modern times, it is a flashlight, at most a large searchlight, and the "sun covering" rune is quite peculiar, modern technology can produce light, but it cannot eliminate light, and there is no technology in this area, but the problem is that it is useless for him to ask for this magical power.
As for the "cloth fog" rune, if you can eliminate the haze, you can also go out on a hazy day to eliminate the haze for everyone and accumulate a little merit, but it is very good to produce fog and not be secretly scolded by others.
The only rune with a magical effect is "Marry a Dream", which sounds very good and can give people dreams, but the problem is that modern people are not as superstitious as ancient people, and they won't take anything seriously when they dream at night, so it's not very useful.
Unless he imitates Li Renjie's practice and uses dreams as a means to create a sect, he can quickly collect a sum of money, but with the Peach Blossom Sect first, if he really dares to do this, not to mention others, I am afraid that Daoist Shao will kill him as soon as possible!
After thinking about it, Pang Xie felt that these four runes were of little use to improve the current situation, and activating the runes required aura, which would slow down his cultivation progress, so he didn't activate them, and let those few runes be suspended in the dantian cyclone.
Of course, Pang Xie also had a guess as to why he obtained these runes, needless to say, "marrying dreams", Qiqi girl originally had the ability to hold dreams, otherwise she would not be able to charm Li Renjie, as for "covering the sun", "shengguang", and "cloth fog", I faintly felt that there was a connection between these runes, but unfortunately they were not activated, and they could not be tested, so they could not be determined.
Pang Xie finally decided to use his savings to buy medicine for the time being, and when the money was almost spent, he would use his magical powers to "shoot" and then buy lottery tickets, although he didn't earn much, but it was much better than a part-time job.
Besides, there is already too much Li Tianhua in the world, so he doesn't believe it, and he can meet the second Li Tianhua casually!
......
Just when Pang Xie was worried about money, Tie Xingyun finally finished the first draft of the book at hand, decided to celebrate, and invited Pang Xie and Yue Qingyan to have a big meal.
At dusk, when the lights were on, the three of them gathered in a hot pot restaurant to eat and drink together.
The hot pot in Chunming Mansion is different from other places, it does not pay attention to spicy, pays attention to fresh fragrance, and the main ingredients are not fat cows and tender sheep, hairy belly pig brains, but various fungi, at most plus fresh fish fillets and other river fresh.
"So you're done writing?" asked Yue Qingyan with a mouthful full of chicken fir mushrooms, puffing out her cheeks.
"Of course. Tie Xingyun said proudly.
"Is it the matter of the Liuhe Copper Mine?" Pang Xie hesitated, and finally caught a little morel.
As a crab transformed into a human, he is still used to eating meat, and he is not very cold to fungi, but the meat on the table is only fish, and after staying in Jinshan Lake for 800 years, he really has enough fish.
In fact, there was actually nothing he liked to eat at the table, so he had to pluck the general from among the dwarves and choose a fungus that most resembled meat.
"Yes, the name has already been thought of, it is called "Copper Coin Robbery - The Fog of the Jingzhou Wilderness". Tie Xingyun said.
"What the hell is this name!How do I sound like a supernatural?Are you sure it's written about non-fiction?" Yue Qingyan complained.
"Is the market in demand, books with this name have been selling well these days, if you honestly start a "Survey on Arrears of Absenteeism Wages in Liuhefu Mining Area", not to mention that there is no one who buys books, I am afraid that even publishing will be a problem. Tie Xingyun said with emotion.
"When are you going to publish it?" asked Yue Qingyan.
"I've sent the first draft to the editor, and if it's fast, it will be available in three months, and I'll send you each a set of author's signed copies. ”
"Is there anything special?" asked Ponsei.
"If you sell it, you can triple the price. Tie Xingyun said.
"It's kind of useful. Yue Qingyan said
"Well, can you sign a few more copies and send them to me?" Pang Xie thought for a moment and asked seriously.
"What do you mean?" Tie Xingyun asked.
"What else does it mean, he is short of money, he is alone now, and he has no income, think about what kind of life you lived when you first left Yunzhou, don't you understand?" Yue Qingyan explained for Pang Xie.
"Well, why don't you go with me next time I go elsewhere and be an assistant for me, and you'll have a share of the royalties at that time?"
"Forget it, I can't leave here just yet. Ponsei shook his head.
"Okay, your studies are important, if you don't have any money, I'll lend you some first, and the editor said that he would give me the part of the manuscript fee in advance this weekend. ”
"Well, I'm not going to be polite if I need to. Ponche nodded.
If he really doesn't have any money, he can only borrow a little first, and then repay Tie Xingyun after he joins the reverse scale.
