I really don't want to be a novelist

Chapter 69 Demining
"Uh-huh……"

The midday sun shines through the bedroom window and falls on the bed,
Ji Zhuo woke up from his sleep in a trance,
Followed by gradually sober.

Two more days passed,

Seems like it's time for Shiyue.com to issue a manuscript fee.

When he fell asleep in the morning, Ji Zhuo seemed to hear a text message alert.

Ji Zhuo still hasn't looked at the payment for this month's manuscript.

But it can probably be figured out.

After mortals finish cultivating immortals, average price has been rising,
Thanks to some recommendations given by Shiyue.com after selling the copyright last month,

The average subscription of mortal cultivators has finally exceeded 1000, and it has probably increased by more than [-] to [-] average subscriptions last month.

Including the third party, Ji Zhuo's income from cultivating immortals last month should be about [-] to [-].

As for Resuscitating Cthulhu, the current average subscription has exceeded [-], and is approaching [-].

In the last month alone, the average order has increased by almost [-].Except for the complete book recommendation given by Shiyue.com.

It may also be due to the fact that Squid's "Lord of the Mysteries" is still being updated.

After all, for readers who are just beginning to read novels, after reading the "Lord of the Mysteries", those who like Shancsulu-themed novels,

There's always another Cthulhu-themed classic to avoid.

As a result, it has been two or three months since the completion of "Resuscitating Cthulhu",

The monthly ticket ranking is still in the top dozens.

This book, counting the third party, and other miscellaneous rewards, should bring him nearly 20 in income in three months.

Finally, there is this "Seven Days of Hell", which is still being updated.

After "Seven Days of Hell" was put on the shelves,

The average subscription still lived up to expectations and broke through [-], and it is almost [-] now.

It's a pity that the writing of this book Ji Zhuo is relatively slow, the update is slow, and there is no third-party income in the first month of its release.

Calculated almost including rewards and basic benefits, it is almost 20.

rounding,

Calculated, he should have an income of about 70 last month.

If the tax is deducted, there should be 60 hands left.

Ji Zhuo thought,

Lying sideways on the bed, reaching out to touch the phone on the bedside table,

Although it has been roughly calculated last month's income.

But it doesn't stop him from looking forward to this month's manuscript fee income.

publication fee,
Always the most anticipated moment as a writer.

full of anticipation,
Ji Zhuo turned on the phone screen.

"...The income has skyrocketed!"

"Uh-huh……"

"It really skyrocketed?"

The phone screen lights up,
He saw the text message transferred from the bank.

The amount was somewhat different from what he had expected.

"...Your account ending in 3621 received a remittance of 823631.50 yuan from another bank, and the current account balance is 3262131.60 yuan."

Looking at the remittance of this month's manuscript fee,

Ji Zhuo was stunned.

It doesn't make sense.Why was it [-] more than I expected.

The third-party results of Resurrection Cthulhu exploded last month?
The third-party results of mortal cultivating immortals exploded in three months?

How can there be an extra 20 here?
Ji Zhuo was slightly surprised,

Immediately afterwards, he skillfully held the mobile phone and opened the writer's backstage of Startyue.com.

looked around,
But found.

The income of "Mortal Cultivation" and "Resuscitating Cthulhu" all met his expectations,
That is, the income of the new book "Seven Days of Hell" was more than double what he expected.

"Seven Days of Hell"

Total income: 45.3w.

Rounding it up, the income of "Seven Days of Hell" last month was almost 50.

It shouldn't be, why don't you think there are so many,
Where did the extra 20 come from?

Shiyue.com showed mercy, and didn't even deduct the site's share?
Ji Zhuo was a little confused.

But then quickly opened the penguin chat.

……

"Clumsy and uncommon: Boss, the manuscript fee has been received, why is the monthly income of "Seven Days of Hell" 20 more than I thought?"

"EDIT: Let me see...

EDIT: Not much.

Clumsy and uncommon: But I shouldn’t have so many subscriptions.

edit:……

EDIT: Don't you know?
Edit: The book subscription price of Theater Channel is twice as high as other books on Siyue.com.

Clumsy and uncommon:..."

Sitting on the edge of the bed, holding the phone.

Looking at the news from the editor, Ji Zhuo fell silent.

It's okay, it's just that the mood is somewhat complicated.

Good guy, there is still a mine buried for him here.

Although he gave up the idea of ​​​​sweeping system wool since the book became popular.

But just imagine, if he managed to stabilize the average order at more than 1000.

I just waited for the system to issue the money the next month, only to find out in the second month that these 1000 average subscriptions are equivalent to the [-] average subscriptions of ordinary books.

His mentality can explode.

Thinking about it, Ji Zhuo felt a little lingering fear.

"Clumsy and uncommon: Boss, next time something like this happens, let me know in advance. Such a sudden extra fee is not good for my heart.

Edit: It's okay, even if you send too much, you may not be able to return it. "

Is this a matter of going back?

Hey, you don't understand.

Ji Zhuo faced the Penguin chat interface,
Sighed,

I was about to throw my phone aside and go to the study to code.

"Editor: By the way, you just happened to be looking for me, and I have something else to tell you."

The editor sent another message, making Ji Zhuo pause.

"Clumsy and uncommon: ... Boss, tell me.

EDIT: Did you know that The Reality Channel has a call for essays?
Editor: Congratulations on winning the first prize in this call for essays.

Clumsy and uncommon:..."

Ji Zhuo is in a complicated mood.

"edit:??
Clumsy and uncommon: Boss, I remember that I didn't participate in the essay call? "

Ji Zhuo was very impressed. When publishing this book, he deliberately did not choose the option to participate in the essay call.

The result is an award now.

Is this reasonable?

I'm afraid there is something shady about it.

"Edit: Hey Hey Laughing.jpg.

Editor: Shiyue.com actually has few works submitted by Pingdao. They can meet the standards and have certain quality works, and even the places for various awards are not enough.

Edit: Your book was posted on the Reality Channel again, and the results are quite good...you think so.

Clumsy and Uncommon: All right, I see.

EDIT: Hmm.The reward for the first prize is a commemorative trophy, a bonus of [-] yuan, and a guaranteed contract.You definitely don't need the minimum guarantee contract, the bonus will be paid along with the next month's draft fee.The commemorative trophy will be mailed to you at the address you gave.

Clumsy and Uncommon: Okay, thank you, boss. "

What else can I say, Ji Zhuo feels a little tired,

He felt like he was a deminer today,

Digging mines like crazy.

"Clumsy and uncommon: Boss, is there anything else?"

Should be gone?
"Editor: It really does. You should have known it after a while, but since you happened to ask about it, let me tell you about it by the way."

"Editor: Before the website pulled up a banner saying to 'lead the new style of online literature', you know that?
Clumsy but uncommon: seems to know..."

Ji Zhuo remembered that he had glanced at it on the homepage of Shiyue.com, but he didn't seem to notice it.

"Editor: Well, because of this, it is probably because the National Library of China responded to the above policy. It is going to permanently collect hundreds of classic online works."

Hey guys, it's Ray again.

Ji Zhuo was tired.

"Clumsy and Uncommon: Is My Novel Selected?"

"Editor: Yes, there are still two. "Resurrecting Cthulhu" and "Seven Days of Hell", you are the only author of two books selected.

Clumsy and uncommon: At that time, we should give some more publicity to these books, right?

EDIT: Right.It should cooperate and give some publicity. "

Headquarters of Shiyue.com.

The pen and ink were facing the computer screen, chatting with Ji Zhuo.

It's just why he always feels that what the author under him said today is a little strange,

I don't know what's so strange.

Shaking his head, he continued to send messages to the author under him.

"Editor: It will only take two days. You will be able to see it then. Pay attention to keep updating and stabilize the quality."

"Clumsy and uncommon: Thank you, boss...do you have anything else to do..."

"Editor: There is one last thing... Let me tell you in advance. Your "Seven Days of Hell" is considered a science fiction novel.

EDIT: The site is ready to recommend you this book for a Galaxy Award nomination for Best Internet Science Fiction.If there is no accident, you should be able to get it based on the grades and quality of your book. "

Ji Zhuo: ...

Hey……

Looking at the messages sent by the editor,

Ji Zhuo felt a little numb.
I can only say it's okay,
Fortunately, this book exploded from the beginning.
I didn't allow myself to endure these cruel things when I was full of expectations.

As long as I don't have expectations, I won't despair!
Think about it... What's going on with some inexplicable sadness.

shook his head,

But the editor said so,
What else can Ji Zhuo say?
only...

"Clumsy and Uncommon: Okay, thank you, boss.

Clumsy and uncommon: You are busy, big brother, so I will also write. "

After Ji Zhuo said another word like this, he quickly closed the penguin chat.

Then he glanced at the receipt text message that was still displayed on the phone screen.

Some smiles gradually emerged on some helpless faces.

no matter what,

Income was much higher than expected,
Still something to be happy about.

Get up to take a shower, after wiping your face,

Ji Zhuo went into the study and started today's coding work.

……

"...The work you submitted, "Mortal Cultivation Anime Adaptation and Book Push Video" has been reviewed and released..."

the other side.Fancheng,
Ye Linhan was also facing his computer.

Looking at the broken station background reminder displayed on my computer,
Ye Linghan nodded in satisfaction.

Before that, he clicked to read the Internet and saw the news that Ji Zhuo's old book "Mortal Cultivation of Immortals" was going to be adapted into a film and animation.

First of all, I have some expectations about this and worry about the quality of animation adaptations.
Then...he had the idea of ​​making a video again.

So I took this opportunity to post another video.

then,

The video shooting and editing are completed, and the submission is approved.

then,

There are comments in the comment area.

"...Good guy, up, you really caught the dog author alone."

"...Ah, "Mortal Cultivation of Immortals" is about to be adapted, why didn't I see the news on the website?...Oh, I watched a pirated version."

"...Good guy, I call it a good guy, even for three videos, the author of the dog has bald you."

Looking at these comments, Ye Linghan nodded in satisfaction.

It just so happens that these audience masters always say that he is trying hard to squeeze the dog's wool,
He just plays tricks with the audience, this video is just a playful work,

The length of the video is very short, and it briefly talks about the news that "Mortal Cultivation of Immortals" will be adapted into an anime, followed by playing a few jokes and then it's over.
Then he refreshed.

"...This novel seems to have a little impression. By the way, Sand Sculpture Up has paid attention..."

"What! "Mortal Cultivation" is going to be made into an anime?"

Then he saw this purely playful video, and the number of views and comments suddenly soared.

Ye Linhan resolutely cut back to the backstage of UP to take a look, and found that it was Pozhan who had arranged a video recommendation for him.

Ok?
Is this reasonable?

Ye Linghan's eyes were filled with confusion,
Just this short video, is it going to be popular?
why?
He's just joking around.

……

"Hey……"

The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the seats in the house through the window,
The old man was also sitting on this chair, and some sunlight fell on him.

Headphones on ears and mobile phone in hand.

With the novel reading function, the old man listens to the update of the novel.

After reading the latest chapters, the old man paused and let out a long sigh.

"...Uncle Yu, what's wrong?"

Naturally, what was displayed on the old man's phone was "Seven Days of Hell".

The nurse next to him called the old man like this, and hurriedly asked aloud.

The old man just shook his head, while taking off the earphones on his ears,

He asked again aloud,

"...The sun is not bad today, isn't it?"

"The weather is fine today. The sun is shining through the windows at the moment."

The nurse looked back, replied, and then looked back at the old man,

But seeing the old man nodded, then paused,
Turning sideways, he stretched out his hand in the direction where he could feel the warmth of the sun,

Subconsciously grabbed it, but naturally missed it.

"Tell me, what should I do if I can't hear anymore? After all, I'm old now, and I'm already deaf."

The old man suddenly asked again.

The nurse didn't know how to answer.

He looked at the old man repeatedly, opened his mouth, but finally didn't know what to say.

The old man didn't ask any more questions, he just paused to face the direction of the sun,

He retracted his hand again and turned around.

"...This is really a good novel... This novel should be finished."

The old man squeezed his mobile phone and said something with emotion, as if he was asking the nurse next to him, but it was more like he was talking about something himself.

"...It should be finished."

The old man is reading this novel, and sometimes the nurse also reads it.

"...Well... that's right. Pioneer Media bought the copyright of the author "Mortal Cultivation of Immortals" to make animations. How is it?"

"...Mr. Yu called you, Uncle Yu, did you forget, Uncle Yu? He said that he had already received some of the scripts adapted by the original author himself, and started production again. It should be still in production, right?

Uncle Yu, do you want me to call Mr. Yu? "

"...No need...Well, when they finish filming and send it out, give it to me too...Listen."

"...Well, Uncle Yu, I made a note of it."

"Well... let's go for a walk."

"...Okay. Uncle Yu, shall I push you out?"

"...get me the blind stick..."

……

"...Don't worry, don't squeeze..."

Fancheng, a certain junior high school.

A group of students huddled in a corner of the classroom,
One by one, sitting or standing, all lowered their heads.

Through the gaps between the heads, you can see some light from the mobile phone screen passing through the gaps,

This group of students is sitting around their mobile phones, reading novels.

Next to him, the son of the noodle shop owner looked at the classmates next to the classroom,
Naturally, they know what they are watching, either "Resuscitating Cthulhu" or "Seven Days of Hell".

In the beginning, it was the author he recommended to them.

At this moment, there is an inexplicable sense of psychological superiority.

"Seven Days of Hell" he has already seen the latest update.

Hey……

Originally, "Seven Days of Hell" was updated to when the policeman committed suicide,
He made up his mind not to read it, at least save it for a while, save chapters and read it again.

As a result, I held back once, but didn't hold back twice,
When the author of the dog updates, he only reads one chapter.

I don't know if the author has updated it today.

The noodle shop owner's son couldn't help but look forward to school.

……

Different things happen everywhere because of Ji Zhuo's novels.

Ji Zhuo is completely unaware of how his novels poisoned a group of students.

At the moment, he is still typing in the study.

"Crackling..."

The sound of keyboard tapping is endless,
The sunlight outside the house has been shining through the window since Ji Zhuo got up,
It was gradually blocked by tall buildings in the distance, leaving only the afterglow of the sky.

After it was put on the shelves, it was updated for more than a month,
This Seven Days of Hell is finally about to be finished.

Ji Zhuo estimated that it would take another two or three days before the book could be finished.

He had already thought about the ending, but he just wrote the novel according to the plot.

After finishing this novel,

What is he going to write next book?
Martial arts, sports, military, reality.

Such a niche subject.

Or do you write other types regardless of the subject matter?
