Chapter 40 Royalty

Chapter 40 Royalty

According to the contact information left when submitting the manuscript, Yang Feng contacted Lin Yuan that night: "Hello, are you Chu Kuang himself? I am Yang Feng, the review editor of the Silver Blue Bookstore Supernova Awards."

"Hello, I am."

Lin Yuan answered the phone in the dormitory.

Yang Feng smiled and said: "Congratulations, after the decision of our supernova review team, the novel "Net King" will be selected as the fifth place in this supernova award, which means that your novel will have the opportunity to be published. The specific contract I can send it to you by email, add to the address book first?"

Lin Yuan said happily, "Okay."

Although the system was bragging about it, he was not sure that the novel "The King of the Internet" would pass the Newcomer Award. This call made him feel more at ease, and it seemed that the system was still trustworthy.

After hanging up the phone.

The two added contacts.

Yang Feng quickly sent a contract. The content of the contract stated that the initial publication volume of "Net King" was 100,000 copies, and the price was 20 yuan per copy, with 5% royalties, which is a relatively standard price for newcomers.

Here is an explanation.

The so-called royalties are not conventional taxes understood by ordinary people, but copyright royalties exercised by publishing companies, which are the monetary benefits collected by the creators or copyright holders of intellectual property rights from other people who use their intellectual property rights.

Lin Yuan didn't think it was a trap.

If it was the physical novel market in the previous life, the publisher would basically buy out the copyright for the first book published by the newcomer, and there would be no payment for subsequent reprints. It would be better when the newcomer accumulated a certain amount of capital, unless the newcomer had a connection with the publishing house, You can get special treatment, so in this respect, Blue Star is already quite conscientious.

Read the contract.

Lin Yuan agreed to sign.

By the way, he also directly sent the next 100,000-word plot of "The King of Net" to the other party. The publishing house needs time to make some corrections to the novel, such as some sentences are inappropriate, or there are typos.

This Lin Yuan understands very well.

It's a pity that they basically won't have this opportunity, because the system's typo correction is the most accurate, and there may be slight adjustments to such subjective things as the choice of words and sentences.

Received the manuscript.

Yang Feng was not surprised.

Now that he has submitted the manuscript, he must be ready to pass it. It is normal for the plot of the first volume to be written in advance, but when he was about to chat with Chu Kuang, he was surprised to find that the other party had gone offline up!

Yang Feng: "..."

In this industry, new writers generally lick editors, even some not-so-famous novelists will lower their stance in order to get special care from editors, and most of them dare to tremble when faced with editors’ reminders He locked himself in the small black room and coded obediently.

But this Chu Kuang is different.

After chatting with him about the contract, he went offline directly, which made Yang Feng a little confused. He didn't expect Chu Kuang, a newcomer, to kneel and lick himself, and he even disliked the kind of author kneeling and editing. phenomenal.

But the problem is.

I also want to have a good exchange with Chu Kuang, after all, he is very optimistic about Chu Kuang, so he originally planned to chat with him about the market and the future direction of novel creation, and give some professional guidance and suggestions by the way...

Facing the black head at the moment.

He choked back the words abruptly.

Considering that the other party was still a student and probably had no social experience, Yang Feng wasn't angry, but just thought it was funny. If he still wanted to develop in this industry, this kid would know how scary editors are in the future.

...

It's not that Lin Yuan doesn't want to talk to Yang Feng, but that he's going to sleep now. Although the system has increased Lin Yuan's lifespan, it hasn't improved Lin Yuan's physique by the way, so Lin Yuan's body is still very fragile. The consequences of going to bed on time can be serious.

Lin Yuan is a patient.

Maybe his terminal illness has been effectively treated, but this does not mean that Lin Yuan, a patient, will be strong and healthy. Compared with ordinary people, he is still a sick child, so the operation of the system is in line with the medical concept.

This is actually quite troublesome.

Lin Yuan considered whether to exercise or not.

But his body needs to be exercised scientifically and moderately, after all, his foundation is too poor, so don't accidentally damage yourself by training.

"Ding dong!"

The system seems to have sensed Lin Yuan's troubles, and unexpectedly dropped a task: "Sensing the host's desire for health, triggering a special task, if the host completes the special task, the system will guarantee that the host will live until the age of 30 without any harm. Sick and healthy."

[Task name: The body is the capital of the revolution]

[Mission Content: Literature and Music Reputation Breaking Millions Each]

[Mission reward: The host can live to be thirty years old in good health without disease or disaster]

[Task Remarks: The so-called physical health standard means that the host has a body that has been carefully conditioned by the system, and its quality is far beyond ordinary people. In addition, this task will continue until the host is twenty-seven years old.]

It appears that this task has a long duration.

As for the reason why it expires before the age of 27, it is because 27 years old is the limit of Lin Yuan's current lifespan. If he has not completed the task by the age of 27, Lin Yuan can basically die forever.

"catch."

Lin Yuan has always been willing to refuse any task.

Anyway, even if the task fails, there is no penalty.

It's just that Lin Yuan didn't expect there to be such a special task. If he is in good health and can live to the age of thirty without disease or disaster, Lin Yuan will buy himself a system-level insurance if he completes the task.

Sounds good.

But then again.

It is not easy for the prestige of literature and the prestige of music to break one million each. From the rising speed of Lin Yuan's reputation of music, it can be deduced by analogy: "I do the task very hard. You must overcome the illness."

system:"……"

System: "As long as the host can complete a series of tasks issued by the system, the system will overcome the host's illness. For the system, the host is the master of the system! The system will self-destruct when the host dies."

Be loyal.

Lin Yuan nodded and fell asleep.

Several roommates in the dormitory saw that Lin Yuan was starting to sleep, and consciously turned off the lights. Those who were on the phone silently went to the corridor outside the door, and those who were playing on the computer silently put on their earphones, so as not to disturb Lin Yuan by these sounds. .

Lin Yuan goes to bed before nine every day.

Other dormitories may be very happy at nine o'clock, but in Lin Yuan's dormitory, no one will make a sound after nine o'clock, because the roommates also know that Lin Yuan is not in good health, so they have been accommodating Lin Yuan.

"It seems that we can go out and live."

The roommates were very accommodating to Lin Yuan, and Lin Yuan couldn't take it for granted.

He is not a man who is weak and reasonable.

Now that he has money, he can consider going out to rent a house.

It is also good for roommates to wake up in the dormitory in the middle of the night like ordinary college students.
