After listening to Editor Kishimoto's serious words, Mu Fan stood there, lost in thought.
After careful consideration, editor-in-chief Kishimoto’s words made sense. Although the quality of his books was passable, if he failed to see the results, no matter which publishing house he went to, the editor-in-chief would probably not let him sign a major contract directly.
After all, if the editor violates the rules of the publishing house, although he may gain benefits, he also needs to bear responsibility.
After Editor Kishimoto gritted his teeth and stated this condition, Mu Fan could tell that Kishimoto had given him a huge concession.
To put it simply, things have developed since Mu Fan wrote the book. Kagurazaka Iris suggested that editor Kishimoto can decide the appointment of the great god. However, editor Kishimoto said that it depends on the results.
In fact, Mu Fan's initial wish was to have his new book published immediately so that he could get a portion of the money from sales. Although he was unable to sign a great deal immediately, today was not in vain. After all, this wish was fulfilled.
Mu Fan was not in a hurry about the appointment with the great god. After all, the problem could be solved naturally when the results came out.
If it fails to achieve sales, it can only be said that the book is not suitable for this era.
Thinking of this, Mu Fan agreed, "Okay, "Blessings for a Beautiful World" has reached 150,000 words, so let's wait and see the sales volume after the first publication before doing anything about the master contract."
Hearing this, Editor-in-Chief Kishimoto was immediately overjoyed. In fact, if it was another author, he would have left just now if they couldn't agree. But for a genius like Mu Fan in the light novel world, he didn't want to miss it so easily.
You must know that the publishing house cherishes great masters. It is also very beneficial to the second team to retain Mu Fan, who has the possibility of writing tens of millions of sales novels in the future.
Editor-in-chief Kishimoto showed a rare smile: "Okay, if Mr. Mu Fan is willing, our Dengeki Bunko will give you additional recommendations in the master's contract and wait for the sales on the day of publication."
"Thank you, editor-in-chief Kishimoto!"
Mu Fan politely thanked him.
"You're welcome, this is what Teacher Mu Fan deserves."
... ..
After discussing the next agreement, Mu Fan recalled that Sagiri was still at home and politely declined Kagurazaka Iris' dinner invitation and left Dengeki Bunko.
Standing on the street, Mu Fan took out his mobile phone. At six o'clock in the afternoon, it was already dusk, and the sky was glowing red under the sunlight.
As night approaches in summer, as the temperature becomes cooler, there are more pedestrians on the road.
Today's work was done, and Mu Fan was not in a hurry to return to Anchorage. He simply went to the station and bought a ticket. After changing to a train midway, the train finally arrived in Akihabara after an hour. Mu Fan Get off at Akihabara station.
As soon as he got off the bus, Mu Fan's eyes saw the back of a girl with long chestnut hair shawl and wearing a decent white dress. This girl got on the opposite bus with her bag.
"Is that Asuna?"
The familiar figure moved Mu Fan's heart. He never expected that he would meet Asuna in Akihabara due to such a fate.
He was just about to run over, but the door of the tram was closed at this moment, and it quickly left the station along the track.
Seeing this, Mu Fan's face twitched a few times and gave up the chase. His speed was naturally not as fast as the tram, and he didn't see clearly whether it was Asuna just now.
It's also possible that he was wrong. After all, there are many girls with long chestnut-colored hair like Asuna in this world.
But when he thought of Asuna, Mu Fan remembered what he had asked Asuna to do yesterday, and decided to call Asuna when he got home to ask if Asuna had found a technician who could be the technician for Hatsune Miku's virtual singer's concert.
Back home, Mu Fan took the lead in making dishes for Sagiri and Lily, just like every day.
But today, after eating, Sagiri made a very strange move. She actually took out a box of playing cards from the room and put it on the table. She smiled at Lily and Mu Fan and said, "Lily, brother , let’s play the ghost card!”
"Drawing ghost cards?"
Mu Fan raised his eyebrows, pointed at the playing cards on the table, and asked in surprise: "Sagiri, who did you learn how to play ghost cards from?"
“My friends on the live streaming platform taught me this!”
Sagiri smiled: "I also have this game on my computer. I like playing it very much, but I have never had the chance to play it with my family. Brother, you and Lily happen to be here, let's play it with the three of us."
Hearing this, Lily couldn't help blinking her eyes and asked in confusion: "Sagiri, brother, what are you talking about the ghost card?"
Sagiri raised her eyebrows, put down the playing cards, and looked at Lily: "Lily, you can't do it?"
"kindness."
Lily spread her hands helplessly and said, "Mr. Merlin didn't teach me anything about entertainment."
Hearing that Lily didn't know how to play, Sagiri's eyes suddenly lit up, and her body trembled with joy. She spread out the playing cards and introduced to Lily:
"The so-called ghost draw means that all players are assigned a card, and then in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction, each player draws a card to the player on his right or left, and combines the drawn card with his original card. Any card combination that forms a pair can be thrown into the pile. The first person to lose all the cards is the winner of this game. Because poker cards are composed of four suits, almost all of them are. All cards can form a pair and then be discarded, but there is one card that is the Joker.
"Joker" is the fifty-third card among the playing cards, the loneliest and weirdest kid. The game of "Ghost Draw" is a competition to see who gets the "Joker" last. Whoever gets the Joker last is the loser. Because there are exactly three of us, whoever has the clown in his hand in the end loses. "
"That's it."
Lily nodded with some understanding and asked, "Does that mean we form a pair and catch the remaining one?"
"Yeah, it's very simple. Once you know it, you'll be fine."
Sagiri nodded with unconcealable excitement in her eyes, shuffled the cards skillfully and put them on the table: "Brother, Lily, let's grab the cards first."
Mu Fan was not in a hurry to grab the cards, but looked at Sagiri with a strange look in his eyes.
Speaking of which, why is Sagiri different from usual today? Sagiri usually went back upstairs early after dinner, but today she actually suggested that everyone play ghost-drawing cards together, which is really strange.
Especially when she heard that Lily didn't know how to play with that happy expression, and looking at Lily's and her own fiery eyes, she must have some malicious intentions.
But what can a little loli like Sagiri do to him even if she has bad intentions
It's rare that Sagiri has the mentality to play. It's good to have fun. Mu Fan doesn't plan to go back to the room to code.
Anyway, nothing is as important as Sagiri. Mu Fan moved a chair and sat down, put his hand on the cards, raised his head and looked at Sagiri and Lily on the sofa opposite, and asked: "But, if you grab the cards like this, there is no stake. It’s boring.”
"Hmm, it's really boring without stakes."
Hearing Mu Fan say this, Sagiri felt happy because she had been waiting for Mu Fan's words today.
After all, many people play with money.
But with Mu Fan and Lily, they would naturally not play such a low-level game. Sagiri was silent for a moment in difficulty, then raised her eyebrows, stretched out her finger and suggested: "I suddenly thought of a way, among the three of us Whoever loses can take off one piece of clothing, wouldn’t it be more interesting?”
