Chapter Fifty: The Beautiful Editor Was Very Angry
In the small woods on the left side of the main building of Harbin Institute of Technology's new campus.
The BBS emotional version moderator "I am the lone wolf" Zhang Shuai handed over a note with his head down, to the girl opposite him, who had a round face and a bright smile that remained on her face, looking very pleased.
"Miss Liu, please show mercy and spare me, hurry up and treat me!"
Liu Ruyi glared at him, and Zhang Shuai was so scared that he didn't dare to say anything else. He flipped open the paper and said, "Look at you guys, a bunch of stinky men, what's always on your mind? I'm banning you for a few days for your own good. You're already at a disadvantage, and you don't even take care of yourself."
Zhang Shuai cursed in his heart, damn it, I'm not losing at all, my golden gun is invincible, the East is unbeatable, and I'm extremely brave. I really want to appear immediately and say the law, but the expression on that face is still decadent, repeatedly acknowledging yes.
"Huh?", Liu Ruyi exclaimed, staring at the information on the note in disbelief. San Pang, Liu Meng? One person?! "You wolf, don't lie to me?" Liu Ruyi's face changed immediately.
Zhang Shuai suddenly swore an oath, repeatedly guaranteeing, "I've done this, how could I still dare to deceive you."
Liu Ruyi believed him, she believed that Zhang Shuai didn't dare to cheat her again, it's just that for a moment, she couldn't help but doubt, secretly sneering in her heart, good one Liu Meng, clearly knowing I'm Ruyi, still dared to go against me, even more detestable is that he pretended to be innocent in front of me.
He patted Zhang Shuai's back a few times and said, "Alright, scram!"
Zhang Shuai didn't feel any obvious changes in his body, and he was a bit worried. "Is that it? Liu Niang, you can't play with me like this anymore, my girlfriend is about to break up with me, this concerns my lifelong happiness."
"Stop talking nonsense, just go and try it yourself, you'll know. I'm in a good mood, so hurry up and disappear from my sight." Liu Ruyi said impatiently.
Zhang Shuai didn't dare to waste any more words, he was really afraid of her, and didn't know if this girl's family was a traditional Chinese medicine family or what, it was very mysterious. He quickly ran to the west gate, hailed a taxi, "Driver, Ice City Normal University East Gate, extremely urgent, hurry up."
The driver accelerated, Zhang Shuai's heart was extremely anxious, the last time he didn't hold up had already cast a shadow over him, he really wanted to get rid of it as soon as possible, and urged repeatedly, "Master, hurry up, it's a matter of life and death."
。。。。。。。。
In the following days, Liu Meng also rarely stayed in the library during the day to seriously review "Higher Mathematics" and English. The bright library always emitted a faint scent of books, these few days were very peaceful, hiding in the library reading books, being a diligent student with a comfortable feeling.
I'm reading a book and just received a message, surprisingly from Liu Ruyi, "Rascal, haven't seen you for so long, where have you been hiding? Let's meet up tonight?"
Liu Ruyi surprisingly attended several classes, but didn't see Liu Meng anywhere. He even lingered outside the 3rd class's study room for a few nights, yet still didn't catch a glimpse of Liu Meng. Unable to contain his impatience, he took the initiative to ask around.
Tomorrow is the mid-term exam, Liu Meng is reviewing well, didn't expect Liu Ruyi to want to meet up, thinking that tonight still have to go accompany Zhou Shiyuan to study, so sent a message "Forget it, today really no time, unless next time?"
Liu Ruyi took one look at the reply, gritted his teeth in anger, and made a fierce determination. He didn't believe it and was determined to catch the guy and make him suffer.
At 6:30 in the evening, he arrived at Guo Yunting's home on time. Little girl Zhou Shiyan was diligently doing her homework. Liu Meng took a look at the little girl and felt very pleased with her seriousness. However, he couldn't shake off the feeling that something wasn't quite right. These past few days, the little girl had been behaving too well, completely unlike her usual mischievous self.
Could it be that under the guidance of my super strong personal charm, Xiao Yatou has finally returned to the path of being serious and studious? I indulged in self-admiration for a while, but then felt that my charm might not have reached that level yet.
Forget it, this girl is diligently reading and doing her homework, after all, it's a good thing.
Liu Meng can now enjoy playing computer, continue writing, has been reviewing and preparing for the exam recently, the progress hasn't slowed down, already exceeded 2 million words, the updated amount is almost one in three thousand.
At this point, many books are finished with around 800,000 words, exceeding one million is extremely rare. The public version directly reached 300,000 and updated daily with 20,000 words, it's an insane pace.
Even the web novel platform is on fire, after all, updates are king, not to mention that it's guaranteed quality and quantity. In just three weeks, a batch of readers who love historical alternate reality novels have been cultivated, and some physical book readers have also joined online through word of mouth.
The comment area has become lively, and the first long review by book friend "Sakura Flow" was pinned to the top. It turns out that "Sakura Flow" had just updated their comment and wrote another long review, highly praising the handling of emotional lines in "Hui Ming". Dozens of replies quickly followed, making it quite lively.
Thinking of this, Liu Meng immediately logged onto QQ, wondering if "Sakura Stream" had added him as a friend, and really wanting to chat with her.
As soon as I logged in to QQ, two verification messages popped up. One was a notification that "Sakura Stream" had passed the friend verification, and the other was a request to add a friend. Eager to chat with "Sakura Stream", I took a look at the profile picture of the person requesting to add me as a friend, which was an elegant beauty, so I quickly accepted it.
"Sakura Stream" was online, and I couldn't wait to send a few messages over. Before long, the two of us were chatting like we'd known each other for years, our conversation burning hot.
Before I even noticed the message prompt below, another message came in, "Are you San Pang? Hello, I'm Donggua, the editor-in-chief of Dian Nang's 4th group. I'd like to discuss with you about signing your work 'Hui Ming'."
Winter melon, who hadn't finished work yet, was still reviewing new books. Those rated three stars needed to be reviewed for 50,000 words to decide whether to sign a contract. Four-star books required review of 30,000 words, while two-star books needed review of 100,000 words. "Return to Ming" had been rated two stars back then.
Currently reviewing new books, didn't expect QQ to pop up a message, it turned out that San Pao's verification was successful, Donggua felt a wave of excitement in her heart and quickly sent a message over.
The usually proud winter melon was for the first time somewhat humble and compromising.
Liu Meng is chatting with Sakura River and didn't notice this message prompt.
Winter melon was excited, finally got in touch with this cunning fox, the next step is to capture, full of joy sent a message, didn't respond for a while, couldn't help but send another one: "Comrade Sanpang, are you there?"
This is a bit like throwing a tantrum.
The status clearly shows that he is online, five minutes have passed and there is still no response. Donggua's temper has also risen, directly sending a message, "Fatty, stop pretending to be garlic, you are obviously online."
Always chatted with Sakura Stream about many Ming history and insightful views, put forward several inspiring suggestions, finally, Sakura Stream said: I have to go to school, let's chat next time.
This insight is so mature, yet still a student? Liu Meng turned around and asked, "Ah, you're still a student, right? What grade are you in?"
Sophomore three, didn't you see my information?
Liu Meng almost fainted. He had been chatting with this person for so long, but it turned out to be a junior high school student. Opening the profile, he clearly saw: 15 years old, female, Hong Kong Island.
"Cherry Blossom Stream" said goodbye and went offline directly, Liu Meng still had some unfinished thoughts.
This young bookworm, despite his tender age, has a deep understanding of online literature and is well-versed in the operation of websites. He even offered some development suggestions to Liu Meng, and astonishingly, he also advised Liu Meng not to rush into signing a contract, but instead continue to release the public version, asserting that "Return to Ming" will exceed 5 million words and must create a new genre, crowning him as a great god.
Turned off the chat window with "Sakura Stream", only to find that there were still flashing messages, opened it and found out that it was Donggua, the editor-in-chief of Dian Niang, who had sent several messages already. Liu Meng replied calmly: "Hello, beautiful editor, I've read your contract."
Winter melon was already somewhat disheartened, but as soon as he saw San's reply, his heart seemed to beat again, and he suddenly came to life. He sat up straight in his chair, just as the operation to catch the fox was about to begin.
"It's like this, we think your work has potential and want to give you a recommendation so that you can achieve better results, it's just that there is no contract, according to our regulations, we cannot recommend."
"Oh, no rush, let's talk about it later. The Fantasy Knife Alliance has already given me a big push, and I haven't signed with them either." San Pao replied.
Seeing that Huan Dao Book Alliance gave a big push this week, Liu Meng's heart was still very moved. Although they had never actively contacted him before, he had already more or less decided to sign with Huan Dao Book Alliance in his heart. In the past few days, the book review section of Huan Dao Book Alliance was scolded by fans, most of whom were iron and steel fans of Huan Dao Da Shen A Chao.
The original big push was for A-Chao's new book "Supreme Fist Emperor", but it was temporarily changed to "Hui Ming". This made the fans of A-Chao very dissatisfied, and they came over to scold. Meanwhile, "Hui Ming" also formed a considerable fan base during this period.
The two sides were like fire and water, and the book review section was filled with intense debate.
Among them, Emperor Zhengde and King Yanzhou, two book friends, were the most enthusiastic. They spontaneously established a book friend group and called on book friends to gather together to enhance their combat effectiveness. This also moved Liu Meng very much, and he added this post to the top and treated it as a priority.
Seeing this, winter melon almost scolded someone. This is really the first time to discuss contract issues with a new author like this. New authors usually can't wait to sign contracts when they see the contract information, who would be so arrogant?
"New books all have a golden period, if you miss the recommended time, good books may be buried in the sand. I hope you can consider it carefully, after all, our Doujinshi is currently the number one reader in the web novel world." Donggua thought for a moment and continued to say.
"Don't worry, I'm best at digging out of sand piles." In this situation, if Liu Meng still couldn't take the initiative, he would be a fool. This naturally wouldn't stump him.
"You'll suffocate if you stay in the sand pile for too long." Winter melon gritted his teeth and replied.
"I've brought oxygen tanks, enough for three months, so we'll meet again in three months, beautiful."
The two of them chatted and joked around, exchanging witty remarks.
Not even waiting for Winter Melon to think of a counter-strategy, Liu Meng came with one: Something's up, gotta go first, chat later. PS, beautiful editor, had a great time chatting with you.
Winter melon slammed a book on the table and cursed: "Shameless, utterly shameless."
