Summary: I, Lord Demon King, refuse to put rot!

Chapter 20: Bone King’s Hot Sales! （4/7）

The week passed quickly.

Monday.

The editorial office of the Shock Bunko met as usual.

Kagurazaka Calamus sat at the front, looking high, and the other editors had more or less envious faces on their faces.

At this time, the editor-in-chief of some beer belly slowly walked in.

As soon as he entered, he nodded to Kagurazaka with a smile on his face, and then said to everyone in a loud voice:

“This time, the sales results of the first week of our award work “Overlord: King of the Undead” have come out.”

“Not only did we break the sales record of our new writers in the denko bunko, but even the 2.2w sales record held by Kadokawa Bunko was broken.”

“Sales were finally fixed at 2.9w!”

The editor-in-chief was very excited.

The sales record of new writers held by Kadokawa Bunko has always been a knot in his heart.

Because of this incident, he was ridiculed by the editor of Kadokawa Bunko, and now he can finally raise his eyebrows and breathe once.

“With this momentum, Overlord could even hit sales of 60,000 copies before the end of the month.”

“The rest of your work can be slowed down this month, but be sure to cooperate with Kagurazaka editor to do a good job of promoting Overlord.”

“Got it?”

“Got it.” Everyone answered in unison.

The editor-in-chief nodded and looked at Kagurazaka Calamus.

Gently said: “Editor Kagurazaka, you have worked hard this month, you must cooperate with Satan-sensei.” ”

Kagurazaka nodded solemnly, “Understood, Editor-in-Chief.” ”

“Okay, let’s discuss the publication of gold and silver awards, and the editor in charge will talk about the current progress of revision.”

“……”

In the next meeting, Kagurazaka did not listen very carefully.

She is now full of thoughts about how to make the sales of the bone king break 60,000 or even higher.

When the Bone King was first released before, Kagurazaka Calamus guessed that the Bone King would sell well.

But she didn’t guess that the bone king actually sold so well.

It almost broke 30,000 in the first week, and the current stamina is still very strong.

Kagurazaka even felt that she had a good chance of winning the throne of the best-selling light novel of the year.

You know, last year’s sales volume was only 9.3W.

The meeting ended quickly.

As soon as the meeting was over, Kagurazaka Calamus told Xu Fan the good news with a red face.

“Xu Fan, with 29,000 sales in the first week, you not only broke the sales record of newcomer writers in the electric shock library.”

“Even our nemesis, Kadokawa Bunko, has broken the sales record for newcomer writers by you!”

“2.9w?”

Xu Fan was also a little surprised when he heard this number.

His contract with Denko Bunko was a 12% royalty, and the Bone King sold for 750 yen per copy.

29,000*750*0.12=2.61 million yen.

2.61 million yen before tax!

Add in the 3 million yen of the big prize, and in just one week, he became a half-multimillionaire?

The surprise came a little too suddenly.

“That’s right, 29,000 copies.”

Kagurazaka Calamus also couldn’t stop with excitement and continued:

“And judging from my experience, the final sales of Bone King are likely to exceed 500,000 copies.”

“Is it hard to break half a million copies?” Xu Fan asked a little dazedly.

“Is it hard? Please remove the word! ”

Kagurazaka Calamus rolled her eyes widely, and said a little depressed: “In the industry, there have not been more than 20 light novels that have sold more than 500,000 copies in a single volume until now. ”

She really didn’t know where Xu Fan came out of nowhere.

Obviously, I don’t know much about the light novel industry, but I wrote such a beloved light novel.

Could it really be the incarnation of the demon king Satan?

Thinking of this, Kagurazaka laughed at himself and secretly cursed himself for having an abnormal brain.

But anyway, she really felt lucky.

No, it’s very lucky.

If you are not lucky, how can you meet Xu Fan and become Xu Fan’s editor?

With this light novel alone, the next deputy editor-in-chief of the Denji Bunko is none other than Kagurazaka Calamus.

You know, this is a position that many senior editors have struggled to sit in for years.

In this process, they have helped their authors revise their manuscripts, make settings, and even polish the writing countless times.

When some novels are published, it is actually impossible to tell whether the author wrote it or the editor.

But what about Kagurazaka calamus?

From the signing of the Bone King to now, she hasn’t changed a word at all, let alone do messy things such as settings.

Even if she wanted to use her editorial powers, look at the outline of the bone king.

Xu Fan didn’t care at all.

The message replied to her was always the same: no editors had to worry about it.

Kagurazaka Calamus was really angry at times and wanted to kick Xu Fan fiercely, but quickly dismissed the idea.

With such an author under his hand, it is too late to rejoice!

…

Came back from work.

Xu Fan shared the good news with Shiro Ashiya.

It was fine at the beginning.

But just after Xu Fan said that the reserve funds that Demon King City was about to have were as high as 5.61 million yen.

At this moment, the wise general of the Demon King Army and the head of the four marshals, Shiro Ashiya, fainted directly to the ground.

After waking up, his eyes widened and he shook Xu Fan’s arm madly.

“Lord Demon King, what you said is true, you are not laughing with me, are you!”

“Lord Demon King, you are simply a bright star in this world, just standing beside you, the shining light almost blinded my eyes.”

“Lord Demon King, you are my god !!!”

Shiro Ashiya, who has always had a plan, immediately decided to make a big meal to celebrate the event.

took out the last thousand yen of the Demon King City, and killed it towards the supermarket without hesitation, quite a feeling of being bleak and cold.

Xu Fan’s expression was a little stunned.

I wanted to remind Ashiya that it was at least a week before he won the big prize, but after thinking about it, he still didn’t speak.

Such a reed house is rare.

More than the worries of the future, enjoying the present is the most important thing.

How does that phrase say?

There is wine today, drunk today, tomorrow worry, tomorrow worry!

Xu Fan lay on the ground with Erlang’s legs up, ready to brush a wave of authors’ forums to see if there was any news worth paying attention to.

But just then, he suddenly received a line message.

[Xu Jun, didn’t you say that you would tell me the name of the light novel you wrote in a few days? 】

[People have been waiting for several days, I really want to know it.] 】
