Chapter 28 Buy Buy Buy
Gu Qingge was of course in a good mood at this time because she had already received the royalties for "Who Can Compete".
100 yuan for every thousand words, 200,000 words, that's 20,000 yuan, plus 5% royalties from the 50,000 copies sold at a price of 10 yuan, a total of 25,000 yuan, the total pre-tax royalties reached 45,000 yuan.
After paying taxes, Gu Qingge still received more than 40,000 yuan in royalties. She planned to use the money to upgrade her mobile phone and buy a laptop.
This way, she no longer has to use her old smartphone to type. She can be more efficient if she writes directly on her laptop.
Gu Qingge still felt that the huge sales of "Who Can Compete" was quite unreal, because she never thought that she would be able to write a best-selling novel one day.
I can only say that the mastery-level skill cards are really powerful.
What made Gu Qingge feel even more amused was that during recess, the male students in her class were actually discussing the novel "Who Can Compete?"
During their discussion, they determined that the author of "Who Can Compete" "Nan Gezi" was a master player of the game "Heroes of Glory", and his gender was of course male.
A female author definitely cannot write such a professional e-sports novel!
This has almost become a consensus among many fans of "Who Can Compete?"
The ratio of male and female readers of the book "Who Can Compete" is also quite realistic. Perhaps there is only one female reader among ten readers.
Its overly professional nature has apparently discouraged some female readers.
However, some female readers also like the emotional drama between the male and female protagonists, because it is not a harem novel, but a single female protagonist novel, and the male and female protagonists have vivid characters and are both very charming.
Gu Qingge's proficient literary skills allow her to write the relatively few emotional scenes between the male and female protagonists in a very engaging way, which is more attractive to female readers.
This led to some female readers expressing their hope that Teacher Nan Gezi could write more emotional scenes and feed the readers some dog food when writing reader feedback.
Of course, Gu Qingge also saw these reader feedbacks, because the publishing house would show the survey letters sent back by readers to the authors.
However, she was not prepared to change the outline she had already made. She was very clear that she was writing an e-sports novel, not a romance novel.
Perhaps in the future there will be an author who will write about love under the guise of e-sports and write a best-selling book, which may even be adapted into a TV series.
But this still couldn't shake Gu Qingge. She was the kind of person who, once she had decided on a goal, would stick to it and never change it.
After receiving the royalties, Gu Qingge went to the "Qilin Store" in the business district closest to the school that same day.
The "Kirin" brand is one of the top mobile phone brands in China in the world. Its flagship phone, the "Kirin 10 Premium Edition", has just been launched on the market, and the top configuration costs more than 13,000 yuan.
Gu Qingge came to the store and played with the latest Kirin flagship phone for a while. She bought it happily because she felt that this phone was very appealing to her, felt great, and had good performance. It felt better than the iPhone 12 Pro in the original world.
The mobile phone operating system in this world has been unified by China's high-tech companies. There is no iOS or Android, only Pangu system.
Gu Qingge was not used to this unfamiliar operating system at first, but after using the smartphone for a long time, she gradually got used to it.
Now that she has the new "Kirin 10 Premium Edition", she finds it very easy to use and it feels very comfortable.
In addition to the mobile phone, Gu Qingge also bought a top-of-the-line Kirin laptop computer worth 20,000 yuan in the store. It has an ultra-thin body and light weight, making it very convenient to carry.
After buying the mobile phone and laptop, Gu Qingge spent 33,000 yuan of her royalties. The clerk in the specialty store looked at her with envy, thinking that Gu Qingge was too rich.
However, the clerk didn't think there was anything wrong with this. After all, in his opinion, beautiful girls would never lack money.
It is said that many "Sea King" type beauties will add hundreds of fish on WeChat. Every Valentine's Day, Chinese Valentine's Day, Christmas, etc., they will post a circle of friends, suggesting that the fish should send her red envelopes. As a result, the fish actually send them, and they are very willing to do so.
I have to say that if a girl is pretty and good at using her beauty, she will definitely not be short of money.
However, Gu Qingge is not such a person. She is obviously very beautiful, but she relies on her talent (system) and brilliance (tradition) to make money.
After successfully buying a mobile phone and a computer, Gu Qingge went to visit the clothing stores in the business district.
Unlike spending a lot of money on electronic products, Gu Qingge is not so generous when it comes to clothes. She doesn't care about the brand of clothes at all and doesn't pay much attention to her dressing. Maybe this is the style of a home girl.
Gu Qingge in the original world was an androgynous beauty, so the clothes she bought were very unfeminine. She almost never bought skirts and only wore pants.
But with Gu Qingge's current looks and figure, she feels it would be a waste if she didn't wear those beautiful clothes and skirts.
Although Gu Qingge is too lazy to dress herself up in real life, she always likes to dress up the character she controls beautifully in the game.
Now Gu Qingge has slowly integrated into this world, but the existence of the system still makes her feel like she is playing an extremely realistic Sims game.
In this case, she will make her new life more exciting.
Every time Gu Qingge walked into a clothing store, the clerks would become more enthusiastic after seeing her beauty and figure and would recommend her to try on various clothes.
Then she discovered something very distressing. She said helplessly to the clerk: "Why do I feel that all the clothes I buy are the same? It seems that no matter what I wear, it will suit me. Oh, I didn't expect that I have lost the right to choose clothes."
The clerk smiled and praised Gu Qingge as a natural clothes hanger, but in his heart he was cursing this customer, thinking that this customer was too Versailles and was simply a narcissist.
But no matter what, the clerk had to admit that this young beauty was indeed very wealthy. In all her years of work, this was the first time she had seen such a beautiful girl.
When Gu Qingge was trying on various clothes in the clothing store, she also attracted the attention of many male customers. After all, some clothing stores sell both men's and women's clothing.
Some of the male customers wanted to ask for Gu Qingge's WeChat, but they were often discouraged by Gu Qingge's cold and distant look.
In the end, Gu Qingge casually bought two sets of clothes, one of which was a dress, and spent less than two thousand yuan, far less than what she spent on electronic products.
But after buying them, she suddenly felt that the clothes she bought seemed too mature. She even forgot that she was only seventeen years old, not twenty-five.
Maybe I should buy some clothes that a young girl should wear?
When she had this thought, the system unexpectedly released another side quest——
Make instead of buy: Make any piece of clothing for yourself.
Reward for completing the mission: White entry-level tailoring skill card.
When Gu Qingge saw this side quest, her eyes suddenly lit up, and the description of the entry-level tailoring skill card also made her heart beat!
This tailoring skill card actually includes embroidery skills such as threading a needle. Anyway, as long as she has it, she can really make her own clothes...
Moreover, the clothes she made by hand could temporarily add charm value!
