Chapter 9 Daily
The next day, Maya knocks on the door and delivers breakfast.
Luka relied on the cleaning spell of the quill to freshen up whenever and wherever he wanted. Within a minute, she opened the door cleanly: "Good morning, Sister Maya."
Who can resist a beautiful boy who smiles at you with dimples early in the morning?
Maya's eyes were much softer than when they first met. "Good morning. To express our apologies for the incident at the bathhouse, the club will provide free meals for the next few days."
After putting down the breakfast, Maya turned around and said, "An Qi is here and said he wants to see you."
"Anqi?"
"One of the president's secret guards is the one you caught yesterday."
Lujia said seriously: "It might be more appropriate to call him Mingqi."
Where is the darkness?
Maya was amused.
Without making anyone wait long, Luke quickly finished his breakfast and went to meet Maya.
All places related to the Chamber of Commerce are decorated in a luxurious style. The aisles are paved on both sides with stained glass with strong religious colors, and gold-forged crosses are firmly embedded in the copper pillars.
An Qi was sitting on a high chair, but he was very tall and could almost sit with his feet on the ground.
As soon as he saw Luke, he remembered the strange fog in the bathing beach yesterday, and he still didn't understand how he was caught.
As a seventh-level magician, An Qi did not show off in front of Lujia, but instead nodded actively.
"The president has something to do today, so he asked me to tell you something. You win the bet. The future profits are 70% to 30%, and you get 70%."
Luke was surprised. How could the treatment become so good overnight?
He didn't know that for Karen, the profits from publishing were not worth mentioning. Anyway, her mother liked it, so she was too lazy to care about the small profits.
An Qi handed over an invitation letter.
"The Rhine Chamber of Commerce will hold an auction in two days. According to the city lord, the dragon clan will also be present. We will provide a trial brochure with the corresponding auction items that the dragon clan likes."
"In addition, when the book is actually released, the company will also ask distributors in various places to give you some publicity."
When An Qi was giving the instructions, his eyes subconsciously swept over the parchment scroll in Luke's arms.
The two of them looked at each other, and when he finished, Lujia took the initiative to invite him to read: "Would you like to read it? I wrote a new chapter yesterday?"
As he spoke, he was about to spread it out.
An Qi once recited the first chapter himself, and now he gets goose bumps whenever he thinks about it.
The tall, muscular man took off running.
Luke takes revenge in a petty way for what happened at the bathhouse.
He got into position and dug his toes into the ground. “Many years later, the monster who was barely able to control his sanity recalled that day…”
Run! Without a portal and without the strength to tear through space, I don't believe you can outrun my sound waves.
Luke read aloud even louder: "...I can't say why I didn't say it."
Suddenly, there was a flash of brilliant blue light in the sky, accompanied by an explosion-like roar. The oppressive feeling made the crows and sparrows in the nearby trees tremble and dare not cry.
The reading stopped abruptly.
Luke stepped back subconsciously. Is he such a bad-tempered person? Launch a magic attack as soon as you disagree with something?
However, he soon saw Maya walking over quickly and said happily: "Breakthrough! An Qi finally became an eighth-level magician."
"He has been stuck at the seventh level for several years, but he always fell just short of reaching the final step. I didn't expect that he would break through the bottleneck today."
"It's incredible." Maya looked at Luke as if he was looking at a miracle of life: "How did you do it?"
Luke: “…”
The quill laughed out loud without any hesitation, and said in a voice transmission: "A magician... in order to avoid listening to your article, he actually broke through while running away. Not bad."
It is better to specialize in this business and guarantee that you will make a lot of money.
Not long after, An Qi, who had just broken through, ran back and said sincerely, "Thank you."
Although the content of the book is appalling, he will buy a copy after it is published to show his support.
Luke calmly pointed at the door, thanked him and left.
An Qi left.
Maya consoled him: "It's not necessarily that your work is bad. Anqi has accumulated experience for many years and it's time for a breakthrough."
Luke closed his eyes: "No need to comfort me."
Years of accumulation mean no breakthroughs for many years, but today I hit the mark.
That's really a coincidence.
After chuckling, he looked at the heavy calamity clouds in the sky that had not yet completely dissipated, and shuddered.
Fortunately, he doesn’t have to go through tribulations because of his faith. He doesn’t want to be struck by lightning again in his life!
Maya went to do her own thing, and when she was alone, the smile on Luke's face gradually disappeared.
On the surface, it seemed that President Karen was willing to use the auction as bait in order to promote himself as a wealthy man.
In fact, Luke could clearly sense that Karen was not optimistic. Even if by chance a dragon read it, the audience would be just that.
Dragons are naturally aloof, and adult dragons rarely interact with their companions. It's not like they would spread the word everywhere.
Furthermore, specific promotional spots are only useful in the City of Stone. No one can be sure whether dealers in other places will implement them. They are the important factor in determining sales.
The quill felt that he was complaining without reason: "Except for the dragon clan, no other customers will be interested in your book."
Why so much publicity?
Luka: "Just because only the dragons are interested doesn't mean only the dragons will buy it."
The word "quill pen" sounds funny. Is there anyone who would buy a book specifically for something they are not interested in?
"My debut work is very important. It directly affects the rights I can have in subsequent collaborations and equal dialogue."
Luke said, thought about it, and stood up.
He left the guild hall and went somewhere, deciding to do some output.
Luke understood Karen's thoughts very well.
His mother's optimism last night made him interested in this unfamiliar subject area, but after examining it several times, he still didn't feel it had much value. Even if he is really appreciated by a dragon in the future, it will only bring benefits to Lujia.
The other party can even wait until the time is right and bypass the Chamber of Commerce to submit the article privately.
The Chamber of Commerce doesn't make much profit.
However, considering Luke's mysterious origins, Karen still decided to keep the book in her own hands and sell it. During the sales process, it is enough to do some superficial work, which can be considered as a favor in the future.
Just when Karen made the decision and was about to call the person in charge of the library, An Liu presented the latest information.
There are many spies from the Chamber of Commerce in the city, and Luke is their main focus. Any information will be sorted out and reported as soon as possible.
"The news just came that Luke went to the newspaper office."
Do you want to submit the same manuscript to multiple journals?
Karen frowned.
The Holy Demon Continent already had newspapers and magazines.
If citizens want to publish content, they must first report it, then the editor-in-chief will screen it through various levels, and finally pay for it.
An Liu probed again and reported again: "He went to Stone Magazine."
Even though the entertainment industry is not well developed, there is one type of serialization that is still acceptable.
...pornographic text.
This is a timeless theme.
Stone Magazine has a section that publishes pornographic stories and marriage proposals.
"Don't worry about him."
Young mind.
Karen shook her head. In order to increase exposure, she actually chose such a platform.
On the other side, the quill was beeping and swearing:
"Even if I die together with you and destroy my own spiritual wisdom, I will never help you write pornographic novels!"
Stone Magazine has been able to survive in a world of dismal sales because it does not follow the beaten path. Manuscripts of some value will be approved quickly, but all of them are based on extremely high standards.
Lujia waved his hand: "Don't worry, I'm interested in the newspaper run by them."
Karen can’t see the value of group pet articles, but at least she should see her own.
Lujia opened the iron door and went up the narrow corridor to the second floor. A beautiful girl was at the front desk. She heard the footsteps and said without raising her head:
"Submissions below the neck and above the waist should be put in the left box, and the manuscript fee will be half price; submissions about the whole body should be put in the right hand side, and they will be given priority; submissions above the neck, please go away."
"..." Lu Jia: "Where to vote for the real person?"
The pretty girl finally looked up at him.
He had pale skin, rare black hair, and was too thin to estimate his age.
Sixteen or seventeen years old? Or maybe malnourished, eighteen or nineteen years old.
Being thin has affected this beautiful face, which should be a good thing, otherwise her beauty would be too outstanding and she would be easily captured by criminals and made into a slave.
Luke smiled harmlessly and said, "We have a big order. I guarantee that your newspapers will sell out."
The beautiful girl didn't take the young boy seriously and prepared to carry him away.
Luke whispered a few quick words.
The pretty girl looked a little more serious. After listening to everything, she re-examined Luke and asked, "You are the one that President Karen made an exception to receive?"
Luke took out the nameplate of the guild hall.
The pretty girl's eyes suddenly flashed with interest: "Wait, I'll go find the editor-in-chief."
Luke had been discussing with the editor-in-chief all afternoon, and at the end he asked, "When can it be released at the earliest?"
"Don't worry, we can publish a daily edition. I'll arrange it for you now."
The day passed quickly. After returning home, Luke did not do anything extra. He thought about the next writing for a while and then went to bed early.
He got up early in the new day and took the initiative to go to the patrolman to pay the fee for staying longer.
Since Luke actively paid the money before dawn and was sneaking around wearing a cheap mask bought on the roadside, the patrol soldiers were puzzled.
When he came back, he met Maya, who was also very surprised to see him coming in from the back door.
Luke smiled mysteriously: "You won't be able to see my face casually in the future."
"?"
Luke went back to the house to cook magic beans to increase his energy, and his singing voice blew over with the morning breeze.
"The yellow race came to the earth
Stand up with a new chest
…
A frank and open person
After five thousand years, it is finally my turn to take the stage. ”
Maya stood there, staring at his back with a puzzled look on her face.
Go on stage, which stage?
On the other hand, magic beans have recently disappeared from President Karen's diet.
Early in the morning, Karen dressed neatly, greeted her mother first, then sat elegantly opposite her, began to drink black tea and read the newspaper as usual.
A few days later, the Hurricane Dragon raid still occupied a large area of newspapers.
The official has repeatedly emphasized that the relationship between humans and dragons has not deteriorated, and soon there will be dragons coming to participate in the auction.
The promotion of the trial booklet was just a cover. In reality, it was the city lord's idea to build closer relations with the dragon clan and use the meeting after the auction to quell the rumors.
Karen always paid attention to the main page. After reading, he folded the paper and was about to put it aside when he caught a glimpse of a line of bold words. He was stunned for a moment and opened the newspaper again.
"Shocked, men, women and children sneak into the bathhouse just to peek at him."
Karen spat out a mouthful of tea.
He saw a familiar code in the article that was trying to "hide one's identity".
Recently, when a young boy named Lu was taking a bath in a hot spring bath, he attracted four peeping Toms. What is shocking is that there is more than one species of peeping Toms. One of them, a dark elf, even stole his underwear and hid it in his arms. His behavior is outrageous!
The patrol team at the scene were all stunned by this perverted behavior!
There was more than just this one shocking incident. There was also a quasi-eighth-level magician who recorded the scene.
Hot springs, such a pure place, is quietly blooming with sin.
This young man now lives in the hall of the Rhine Chamber of Commerce...〗
Mrs. Beryl, who was sitting opposite, was frowning at her son's indecent behavior of spitting tea.
The next second, when she saw the newspaper headline, the elegant lady was stunned for a moment, took out her special glasses, and read each word to make sure she read it correctly.
She was not the only one who was shocked. At this moment, for the first time, a small public opinion storm was set off in the City of Stone.
Not only newspapers, but also magazines sold that day reported extensively on the bathhouse incident.
【shock! The handsome man actually attracted the dark elves to steal his inner clothes.
[The distortion of human nature, or the decline of morality?] The dwarf carried the bird over just to see him.]
【sky! A face more beautiful than the Elf King]
The various keywords are shocking.
Some people who did not want to be named said that President Karen was also one of those who succumbed to her beauty.
"A child with low magic skills was received by the president alone."
"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes that day in Qizhen Pavilion."
"Not only that, he is now arranged to stay in the clubhouse. Otherwise, how do you think he will have the opportunity to enjoy the hot spring baths?"
The people of Boulder City, who had never been exposed to gossip, came out to discuss it.
The person who started this storm of public opinion is enjoying a peaceful life by arranging flowers.
The quill shook off its hair fragments and said speechlessly: "How thick-skinned are you? You dare to brag that you are better than the Elf King."
Objectively speaking, Luke's foundation is amazing, but he is not even twenty years old after all, his facial features have not fully developed, and he still looks a bit childish.
Compared with the mature and elegant Elf King, there is still some distance.
The cornflower is inserted shallowly at the top, standing out from the crowd.
Lujia lowered his eyebrows and smiled: "I just want to pull it down!"
"What kind of existence is the Elf King? When I am a nobody, comparing myself to him, I am just flattering him."
Readers buy books for the book itself or for the author.
Apparently no one has marketed themselves in this era.
He must dare to be the first in the world.
"?"
The quill felt as if a whole new world was forced to open up in front of it.
"Aren't you afraid of offending the Elf King?"
"The content of the publication highlighted the dark elves. For example, the subheading: "Surprise! The man's good looks attracted the dark elves to steal his underwear."
"The light elves will definitely use this to laugh at the dark elves. Just wait and see. With the presence of light elves in the Stone City, they will soon send this newspaper back."
Good news doesn’t travel far, but bad news travels far and wide.
He could have hidden himself away peacefully throughout the whole storm.
"When there is criticism, there is popularity. After a while, it will be hard for me not to be popular."
“With all these reports everywhere, I don’t believe the dealers won’t notice them.
The first time I came across the so-called clickbait headline, I felt like I had swallowed a fly. But if I put myself in their shoes, and if I had seen this headline without knowing the truth, I would have really read on.
Apart from the part about the Elf King, the content is still true.
Quill looked at him and said, "Your thinking... is broader than that of ordinary people."
The warm sunlight shone down, and Luke's whole body seemed to be coated with a layer of golden light: "This is necessary. Because, from the first day I wrote the novel, I said to myself-"
"I, Luke,
To become a well-known marketer in the Holy Demon Continent. ”
The author has something to say:
Luke: Anyone with a dream is amazing~
