6:30 pm, private Chenglin High School.
After a day of training, Xiao Ye was the last to leave.
He had just obtained a new skill, Eagle's Eye, and he urgently needed to practice it. After more than two hours of familiarizing himself with it, he had almost fully grasped this skill.
Xiao Ye took his school bag and closed the door of the gymnasium before leaving alone.
Just as he reached the school gate, a cheerful voice came from his right side.
"Hi ~"
Xiao Ye looked over and saw Momoi Wuyue, whom he had met last night, smiling and waving at him.
"Why are you here?"
"I just happened to have something to talk to you about. It's so late, I thought you guys had finished training long ago.”
Xiao Ye rolled his eyes and suddenly said,"You came at the right time. Are you a local in Tokyo?”
"Hmm?"
"I'm writing a novel, and I'm looking for a company to submit it. If you're familiar with it, take me there."”"Didn't you say you had something to tell me?" Xiao Ye smiled. If you help me with this, I'll treat you to ice cream.”
Wuyue Momoi thought about it and happily nodded in agreement. She didn't know if it was because of the matter or because of the ice cream.
"The only famous publishing house in Kyoto that is close to here is Kadokawa Bookstore. Speaking of which, you know how to write novels.”She first introduced him before expressing her surprise.
"Life forced me." Xiao Ye was helpless.
Wuyue Momoi couldn't help but laugh."Don't tell me you haven't found a place to stay yet?”
"Are you still willing to take me in tonight?”Xiao Ye joked.
"If you win."
After Little Peach blurted out this sentence, she brought Xiao Ye to Kadokawa Bookstore.
Twenty minutes later, Kadokawa Bookstore.
After Xiao Ye made his intentions clear, the girl at the front desk informed the editorial department. Then, a twenty-seven or twenty-eight-year-old editor with thick eyebrows and big eyes went downstairs and took the two of them to a single room.
Xiao Ye and Moi Momoi sat together, quietly waiting for the editor to review the manuscript.
There is indeed something wrong with my story of love.
The first volume of this novel was about 120,000 words. With the reading level of a professional editor, it would take at most 20 minutes to finish it.
However, after a full 40 minutes, the editor closed Xiao Ye's notebook in silence.
"I'm sorry. What would you like to drink?”He asked with a smile on his face.
"Water, thank you."
"I want a coke." Little Peach asked shamelessly with a smile on her face.
"Alright, wait a moment."
Not long after, the editor came back with some stuff.
"I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Nakai Masayoshi. Who is the original author?”
"I am. My name is Xiao Ye. She's my friend, Wuyue of the peach well."
After learning that Little Peach was just a passerby, Nakai Masayoshi locked his gaze on Xiao Ye.
"Xiao Yejun, your novel meets the requirements of our publishing firm. Do you have any requirements for the royalties?”
He spoke in an equal tone and took the initiative to mention the issue of royalties, which made Xiao Ye slightly relieved.
"May I know what kind of contract your company usually uses for new authors?”
"We'll use a minimum amount of 2000 yen per 1,000 words and a 10% royalty. If you agree, we can sign the contract immediately.”Nakai Masayoshi seemed to be really optimistic and directly proposed to sign the contract.
2000 yen for 1,000 words. According to the calculation of 120,000 words, it was 240,000 yen. For Xiao Ye, who was in urgent need of money, it was quite good.
Moreover, there was also a 10% royalty. The price of a single book was 600 yen, so 10% was 60 yen.
Xiao Ye knew very well that "Spring Creatures" had been number one on the sales charts for quite some time. It could sell millions of copies in a year.
"Sure." Xiao Ye immediately chose to sign the contract."However, I have a condition.”
"Please speak." Nakazu nodded with a smile. It was good enough that he could sign the contract. If he didn't sign this book, other publishing houses would also sign it. As long as Xiao Ye's conditions weren't too much, he completely agreed.
"From the first day of sale, the sales volume has exceeded 100,000 copies in a month. I request an increase in royalties. After that, for every 100,000 additional copies, the royalties would increase by 1%.”
"100,000 copies a month?" "This is the sales volume of a popular novel," said Nakai Masayoshi in surprise. Not many novels in a year could do that, let alone a newcomer who was not famous.”
Xiao Ye smiled slightly and said,"This is my condition. Do you agree?"”
"I agree. You can write it into the contract." Nakai Masayoshi didn't think too much and nodded."If there's no other problem, we'll sign the contract.”
Soon, Nakai Masayoshi drafted the contract. Xiao Ye briefly looked at it and after confirming that there were no problems, he signed his name and pen name.
Pen Name: The Flying Shark!
"Alright, here's my business card. If there's anything, you can call me.”
After finishing his business, Nakai Masayoshi handed over a business card and asked,""Xiao Yejun, I've been curious since just now. The name Xiao Ye…are you a foreigner?”
"I'm an international student from China."
Nakai Masayoshi was speechless for a moment."That's amazing. You're actually so proficient in Japanese."”
Xiao Ye only smiled at this. He didn't understand Japanese. It was all the system's ability.
After receiving the signature fee of 240,000 yen, Xiao Ye and May Momoi left Kadokawa Bookstore.
As soon as they left the company, Wuyue Momoi exclaimed,""How dare you really pass? You're so amazing. Not only are you good at basketball, but you can also write novels.”
"I'm just a porter." Xiao Ye shrugged and said,"Oh right, thank you for your help. I'll treat you to a meal. By the way, tell me why you're looking for me."”
"Sure, I haven't eaten yet.”After a pause, she said seriously,""I'm looking for you because I want you to have a basketball match with someone.”
"Competition? Who?" Xiao Ye raised his eyebrows.
This girl had followed him around, and she was actually just looking for him to duel with someone?
She had seen his basketball skills last night, but she still found him. After thinking about it, there was only one possibility.
"One of the Miracle Generations…Green Peak Dahui!”
