After listening to Editor-in-Chief Kishimoto's serious words, Mu Fan stood in place and fell into contemplation.
After careful consideration, Editor-in-Chief Kishimoto's words were not unreasonable. Although the quality of his book was good, if he couldn't see the results, no matter which publishing house he went to, the Editor-in-Chief would not let him sign the contract directly.
After all, if he violated the rules of the publishing house, although the Editor-in-Chief may gain benefits, he would also have to bear the responsibility.
After Editor-in-Chief Kishimoto gritted his teeth and said this condition, Mu Fan could see that Kishimoto had given him a lot of concessions.
In short, things had developed to this point. From the time Mu Fan wrote the book, Acorus Kagura proposed that Editor-in-Chief Kishimoto could decide the contract. In Editor-in-Chief Kishimoto's words, it became based on the results.
In fact, Mu Fan's original intention was to let the new book be published immediately and get a part of the money from the sales. Although he couldn't sign the contract immediately, he didn't come in vain today. After all, this wish was fulfilled.
Mu Fan was not in a hurry about the contract. Anyway, when the results came out, it could be solved naturally.
If it couldn't reach the sales volume, it could only be said that this book was not suitable for this era.
Thinking of this, Mu Fan agreed, "Okay," Blessings for a Beautiful World "has reached 150,000 words. Then let's wait for the sales volume after the first publication before we do the contract."
Hearing this, Editor-in-Chief Kishimoto was overjoyed. In fact, if it were other authors, they would have left if they couldn't reach an agreement. But Mu Fan was a genius in the light novel world. He didn't want to miss it so easily.
It should be known that the publishing house cherishes the gods very much. If they can keep Mu Fan, who is likely to write novels with tens of millions of sales in the future, it will be very beneficial for the second team.
Editor-in-Chief Kishimoto showed a rare smile, "Okay, since Mu Fan -sensei is willing, we, Dengeki Bunko, will give you an extra recommendation in the contract and wait for the sales volume on the day of publication."
"Thank you, Editor-in-Chief Kishimoto!"
Mu Fan thanked him politely.
"You're welcome, this is what Mu Fan -sensei deserves."
.....
After discussing the following agreement, Mu Fan remembered that he still had Gauze Mist at home, so he tactfully rejected Acorus Kagura's invitation to eat and left the Dengeki Bunko library.
Standing on the street, Mu Fan took out his phone. It was six in the afternoon, and it was already dusk. Under the illumination of the sun, the horizon reflected a fiery red.
In summer, when it was close to night, because the temperature was cooler, there were more pedestrians on the road.
Today's work was already done, so Mu Fan wasn't in a hurry to return to Gan City. He simply went to the station and bought a ticket. After changing to another train midway, the train finally arrived at Akihabara after an hour. Mu Fan got off the train at the Akihabara station.
As soon as he got out of the car, Mu Fan saw the back of a young girl with chestnut-colored hair draped over her shoulders. She was wearing a white dress, and this young girl carried her bag and got into the opposite car.
"Is that Ashina?"
The familiar figure made Mu Fan's heart skip a beat. He didn't expect to be so fated to meet Ashina in Akihabara.
Just as he was about to run over, the door of the train closed at this moment, and it quickly left the station along the track.
Seeing this, Mu Fan's face twitched a few times, and he gave up chasing. His speed was naturally not as fast as the train. Moreover, he didn't see clearly whether it was Ashina or not.
It was also possible that he saw wrongly. After all, in this world, there were many girls with chestnut-colored hair like Ashina.
However, when he thought of Ashina, Mu Fan remembered the matter he asked Ashina yesterday. He decided to go back home and call Ashina to ask if she had found a technician who could be Hatsune's future virtual singer concert.
Back home, Mu Fan was the first to cook for Gauze Mist and Lily as usual.
However, after eating today, Gauze Mist did something very strange. She took out a box of poker cards from the room and put it on the table. She smiled at Lily and Mu Fan and said, "Lily, brother, let's play Joker!"
"Joker?"
Mu Fan raised his eyebrows and pointed at the poker cards on the table. He asked in surprise, "Gauze Mist, who did you learn to play Joker from?"
"A friend on the live broadcast platform taught me!"
Gauze Mist giggled. "I also have this game on my computer. I like to play it very much, but I haven't had the chance to play with my family. Brother, since you and Lily are here, let's play with the three of us. "
Hearing this, Lily couldn't help but blink and ask in confusion, "Gauze Mist, brother, what is Joker?"
Gauze Mist raised her eyebrows and put down the poker cards. She looked at Lily and asked, "Lily, you don't know how to play?"
"Yes."
Lily spread her hands helplessly and said, "Old Master Merlin didn't teach me anything about entertainment in the past."
Gauze Mist's eyes suddenly lit up when she heard that Lily didn't know how to play. She was so happy that her body trembled. She spread out the poker cards and introduced it to Lily.
"The so-called Joker is when all the players are given a set of cards. Then, in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction, each player draws a card from the player on their right or left. The cards they draw can be combined with their original cards. As long as the cards form a pair, they can be thrown into the pile of cards. The first person to throw away all the cards is the winner of this game. Because the poker cards are made up of four suits, almost all of the cards can be combined into a pair and then thrown away. But there is one card that is an exception. That card is the clown.
The clown is the 53rd card in the poker cards. It is the loneliest and strangest Joker. As for the game "Ghost Draw," it was a competition to see who would get the "Clown" card in the end. Whoever gets the clown in the end is the loser. Because there are three of us, whoever gets the clown in the end is the loser. "
"I see."
Lily nodded slightly and asked, "So you mean, we form a pair and get the last one?"
"Yes, yes, it's very simple. There won't be a problem once you know how to play."
Gauze Mist nodded with unconcealable excitement in her eyes. She skillfully shuffled the cards and put them on the table, "Brother, Lily, let's pick the cards first."
Mu Fan was not in a hurry to pick the cards. Instead, he looked at Gauze Mist who was rolling her big eyes with a strange expression.
Speaking of which, why was Gauze Mist different from usual today? Usually, Gauze Mist would have gone back upstairs after eating. Today, she actually suggested that everyone play Joker together. It was a bit strange.
Especially when she heard that Lily did not know how to play and looked at Lily's burning eyes. No matter how he looked at it, it seemed that she was up to no good.
However, Gauze Mist was a little loli. Even if she was up to no good, what could she do to him?
It was rare for Gauze Mist to have the mood to play. It was good that she was happy. Mu Fan did not plan to go back to his room to write.
Anyway, nothing was more important than Gauze Mist. Mu Fan moved a chair and sat down. He put his hand on the cards and looked up at Gauze Mist and Lily on the sofa opposite him. He asked, "But, if we pick the cards like this, it will be boring without a bet."
"Yes, yes, it will be boring without a bet."
Hearing Mu Fan say this, Gauze Mist was happy because she had been waiting for Mu Fan to say this today.
After all, a lot of people used money to play games like drawing Joker cards.
