Chapter 110 The Light of Righteousness
Zhou Heng glanced at the scholar and saw that he had an ordinary appearance and a normal physique, but his eyes were bright and his behavior showed an extraordinary temperament, unlike that of an ordinary person.
"Okay." He nodded, took Bai Yuejian out of the restaurant, turned to a secluded place in the alley not far away, and asked, "What's the matter?"
Bai Yuejian also looked at the scholar with curiosity.
"Mr. Zhou, I am a bookseller from Chenglin Bookstore. My last name is Lin Ziran." The bookkeeper was very respectful and smiled, "Our Chenglin Bookstore mainly sells autobiographies of various celebrities.
"Now we have published 30 autobiographies of masters on the Human List, 5 autobiographies of masters on the Earth List, and one autobiography of gods on the Heaven List. All of them have good sales. I have read your battle record information and feel that it can be expanded and published in a big book."
Bookseller??
Zhou Heng was a little confused when he heard this. He didn't expect to encounter this, but he was indeed interested. He smiled and said, "Then how is the remuneration calculated? "
"Autobiographies are usually 200,000 words per book. Generally speaking, we charge 1,000 taels for the whole book, plus 20% of the subsequent sales dividends." Lin Ziran smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about revealing your secrets. Nine fakes and one real will do. Everyone is just having fun.
"If you are interested, I can pay you a deposit of 500 taels now, and we will pay you the remaining 500 taels after you submit the manuscript."
"200,000 words, 1,000 taels plus subsequent sales dividends?" Zhou Heng touched his chin and smiled, "It sounds good, but I don't have the idea of writing this autobiography yet. I'll wait for a chance in the future."
Since the release of palm thunder no longer requires the consumption of gold, his demand for money is not as great as before. Having 500 taels of silver in his hand is actually enough.
Also, he really doesn't have time to write a 200,000-word autobiography recently.
"You don't need to hurry up and submit the manuscript. Just compile it within three years." Lin Ziran smiled and said, "We will give you enough time to create."
"Three years?" Zhou Heng smiled and shook his head, saying, "It's not a matter of submission time. I really don't have the idea of writing this now. You can find me again when there is a chance in the future."
Just kidding, he will not be ranked the same as he is now in three years. By then, it will not be just one thousand taels and 20% of sales dividends. It will definitely be higher.
If the cooperation is decided now, it will definitely be a big loss.
However, Zhou Heng did not say it firmly. There was no need to make the relationship awkward, and he also wanted to get something from Lin Ziran.
Lin Ziran was an experienced bookseller. After seeing Zhou Heng's refusal, he thought of what Zhou Heng was thinking after a little thought, but he also understood this situation, and even encountered it more than once in the past commissioning process.
It's a pity that most of the confident geniuses lost their glory after a few years, and their fame and popularity were not as high as before.
At that time, even if they came to continue the previous cooperation, Chenglin Bookstore would have various reasons to shirk.
Without fame and popularity, who would read the autobiography?
Of course, there are also some people who later soared to the sky and became more popular. No one can rule out this possibility, and from the current situation, Zhou Heng still has a chance to go further.
So although Lin Ziran was rejected, his attitude was still kind, and he said in a gentle tone: "As long as there is a chance in the future, we will definitely come to you again."
He didn't say everything, just said that he would come to him if there was a chance.
Zhou Heng didn't care about Lin Ziran's thoughts. He said directly: "You said before that you have the autobiography of the immortals on the Tianbang. Can you give me one?"
"Do you want to read it?" Lin Ziran was not surprised by this. The celestial beings on the Tianbang are all like the immortals on land. Who would not be curious about their growth process?
"Of course." Zhou Heng nodded.
He wanted to see if he could form a certain degree of real cognition of this celestial being through this autobiography, get a preliminary familiarity with him, and then summon his projection.
Although the projection card can summon the person in his cognition, this cognition must be based on real cognition, which can be clear historical records, or self-biography, or accurate descriptions by others.
If it is just a character in a novel, film and television drama, animation, etc., without corresponding real cognition, then its projection cannot be summoned.
It is still unknown whether the legendary characters such as Sun Wukong, Tathagata Buddha, Yuanshi Tianzun, etc. exist, but it is certain that Zhou Heng has no real cognition about them.
Naturally, it cannot be summoned.
Although Lin Ziran’s biographies here have some false elements, there must be some true parts, and perhaps some real cognition can really be obtained from them.
"It's a coincidence that you want the autobiography of this Tianbang immortal." Lin Ziran laughed, took out a book from his sleeve, handed it to Zhou Heng, and said: "This volume of "Subjugating the Demon Girl" is the autobiography of that Tianbang immortal, so I will give it to you, sir."
Subjugating the Demon Girl? ?
Zhou Heng took the book with a yellow cover and looked at the title written on it, feeling a little confused.
His previous thoughts should be correct, there should be some truth in it... maybe? ?
How could a god on the Heavenly Ranking write such a thing? ?
He suppressed the thought of complaining in his heart, calmed down, opened the cover of the book, and saw the contents inside.
At the beginning, it was an introduction to the author's identity.
"Cui Tianhe, the head of the Cui family in Fengzhou, one of the twelve aristocratic families in Daqi, has set foot on the realm of third-grade heaven and human hundreds of years ago... He has a wide range of hobbies, especially hanging out in flowers... reciting poems and composing music... writing his autobiography …”
Zhou Heng flipped through it briefly and found that it was actually a chapter-style novel. Well, this autobiography was just like the novel, even the names of each chapter were included.
This is the title of this chapter...
What about "The taste of the demon girl from Red Flower Palace is really good"... What about "One hundred ways to kill the female disciple of the Nine Death Sect"... "The story that I and the Saint of Yunxiao Tiangong have to tell"...
What are these things?
It seems like the color of the cover is really correct?
Zhou Heng looked at Lin Ziran with confusion, as if asking - are you really sure this book is an autobiography written by an expert on the heavenly list?
"Sir, there is no need to have any doubts." Lin Ziran said with a smile: "This "The Record of Subduing the Demon Girl" is the autobiography of Cui Tianhe, the "Light of the Righteous Path" who is ranked eighth on today's list."
The light of righteousness?
The light of righteousness...
That's it? ?
Zhou Heng was speechless for a moment. The hobbies of these powerful beings are so special?
Amazing!
…
Two days later, on the third day of July.
The much-anticipated Wang Family Martial Arts Tournament was finally officially held.
