Reborn Almighty Scholar

Chapter 38 Comic Publishing
June [-], morning.

[Task 1 is completed, reward 3 skill points. 】

[Task 2 is completed, reward 3 skill points. 】

[Task 3 is completed, reward 3 skill points. 】

[Task 4 is completed, reward 3 attribute points. 】

Without any suspense, 9 skill points and 3 attribute points were credited to the account, but Zhu Sha was close behind, one point short of a perfect score, the second in the class, and the second in the grade, which surprised everyone.

Ma Xiaolong glanced at her exam paper, he made a mistake in the math question and filled in the blanks.

"Don't you know how to check it again?" Ma Xiaolong felt that this point should not be lost.

"I checked, but I was a little careless." Zhu Sha said with a smile: "This time it's good, and I lost more points before."

"..."

Forget it, as long as there is progress in studies, the teacher won't bother about the two of them 'making love'.If being a partner can make two people learn better, the teacher would like all the students to be a partner.

After receiving the summer homework, the two-month summer vacation also followed.

Originally, Ma Xiaolong wanted to spend two days with Zhu Sha to finish the summer homework, but Zhu Sha said that during the summer vacation, he would visit famous martial arts masters in the Lion City with his grandfather, exchange and learn martial arts, and he would only be free in the last week of the summer vacation.

"You finish writing first, and I will copy yours when I come back."

"..." The winter vacation was separated for a long time, and the summer vacation was separated even longer, but that's okay, anyway, he has something to do during the summer vacation, so it's good to be separated for a while.

"See you at the end of August." Zhu Sha waved goodbye at the school gate.

Ma Xiaolong waved his hand: "Don't get hurt."

Zhu Sha narrowed her eyes and smiled, turned around, and left with her ponytail dangling.

Still so chic.

……

When he got home, Ma Xiaolong locked himself in his study and couldn't wait to add 3 attribute points to his physical strength.

After a warm current, Ma Xiaolong was full of strength.

"Is Jie an eight-year-old body comparable to an adult? I love it."

Ma Xiaolong was happy when he suddenly felt that something was wrong, he opened his trouser waist and looked down.

grown up.

"..." This wave, this wave is called extraordinary talent! ?

It's so cute, it's my capital.

Look at the skill points again, before consuming 6 points to add to the manga, there are 18 points left, this wave adds back 9 points, and the remaining skill points reach 27.

Check out the other Tier [-] skills.

After thinking about it, in addition to self-discipline, 12 skill points were consumed to upgrade reading, mental arithmetic, weather observation, dancing, vocal music, and planting to level 2.

Level 2, which is equivalent to proficiency, belongs to the first echelon of talents in any industry.The suffix descriptions of the six skills have also changed.

Reading (lv2): Through reading, you can find the key points in the content very accurately and summarize them.

Mental arithmetic (lv2): You can instantly calculate the results of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of tens of thousands of digits.

Meteorological Observation (lv2): You can more accurately observe the weather changes in the coming day.

Dance (lv2): You are the Asian dance king.

Vocal music (lv2): You are just a little away from the national team.

Planting (lv2): The crops you plant can increase yield by 50%.

Tsk tsk, am I already this powerful!

Ma Xiaolong is very satisfied, but that's all for the time being, and he needs to upgrade in the future.

After adding points, Ma Xiaolong went downstairs to eat lunch, take a nap, then went into the study full of energy and started to draw cartoons.

……

In a blink of an eye, the time came to mid-July. At the beginning of the month, Ma Qiangsheng went to Beijing with his household registration book and 15 yuan. With the help of his uncle, he bought a dilapidated courtyard house on Guijie Street, east of the Drum Tower, for 10 yuan. , that is really broken, not far from being scrapped.

Originally, my uncle did not recommend buying it. After seeing the house, Ma Qiangsheng also felt that the owner was cheating him, a foreigner, but after calling Ma Xiaolong and talking about it, Ma Xiaolong asked casually: "How big is the area?"

"About [-] square meters!" Ma Qiangsheng said: "The yard is [-] square meters, and the house is [-] square meters. There is a single courtyard. There is a well in the courtyard, but now they use tap water. That well has long been abandoned."

"Buy!" Ma Xiaolong became anxious when he heard this: "I must buy it! Even if I spend 15 yuan, I still have to buy it! If I don't buy it, I will regret it for the rest of my life!"

"..."

A few days later, the courtyard house was transferred to Ma Xiaolong's name. Hearing that the original owner was very happy, he said behind his back that Ma Qiangsheng, an outsider, was a fool.I don't know if he will regret jumping off the building after 30 years?

There are 5 yuan left, and I just bought a [-]-square-meter third-floor apartment in the aunt’s community. The buildings in the aunt’s community are all four stories high, and the third floor is relatively cheap. [-] yuan is just enough to buy.

This building was still registered under Ma Xiaolong's name. In this way, at the age of eight, he accumulated wealth that ordinary people could not accumulate in ten lifetimes, and became rich overnight.

Yesterday, Ma Qiangsheng came back from the capital with two copies of the house. Ma Xiaolong personally squeezed his father's shoulders and beat his back: "Dad has worked hard."

"..." Ma Qiangsheng shook his head: "Siheyuan will be more expensive than buildings in the future?"

"It's more than expensive, it's a symbol of status, and money can't buy it." Ma Xiaolong said: "Dad, with this courtyard house, you can enjoy happiness in the future!"

Ma Qiangsheng finally showed a smile: "I hope!"

Although the house was bought, it can only be kept in the capital for the time being because it has not been renovated. Ma Qiangsheng entrusted his aunt to rent out the building nearby. With the current house rental price in the HD district, the monthly rent can be about 200 yuan.

Interestingly, the average salary of ordinary workers in the capital is just over 200.With such a salary, it is no wonder that many people lose their jobs and go to sea to do business.

The capital city in the early 90s was really no better than ordinary urban residents.But the capital city will usher in explosive growth in the future. The salary level will increase every year, but it will never catch up with the soaring housing prices.

In such a comparison, the salaries of Ma Qiangsheng and Liu Ying are actually not bad.

But still the same sentence, with this little money, it is better to earn more by doing a small business, especially Ma Qiangsheng. The efficiency of the match factory is getting worse every year, and there will be large-scale layoffs in a few years. In 20, this once the largest match factory in Asia will go bankrupt completely and become history.

This is also impossible. Ever since the lighter was born, matches that consume wood will inevitably decline. It is already very tenacious that the match factory can persist until the second decade of the new century before going bankrupt.

Ma Qiangsheng thought that he could go back to work after he came back, but it was not enough. After another day, he took Ma Xiaolong straight to Tianjin Wei and walked into the gate of the Fine Arts Publishing House.

Ma Xiaolong was carrying a schoolbag with a document bag inside. In the document bag, there were [-] original manuscripts of comics, which were drawn from "Legend of Sword and Fairy".

Because the paintings are too exquisite, Ma Xiaolong only drew [-] pieces in half a month, and the progress of the story has only just come to Fairy Island, and it is stopped at: "Why are there girls' clothes here?" Here.

It is true that it has won the essence of the chapter.

Why did Xiaolong Ma want to draw Legend of Sword and Fairy?It is true that he is a fan of Xianjian, but he was really disgusted several times in his previous life, especially Xianjian [-]. Due to lack of funds, this game that could be more classic has been cut off many branches and even the main storyline, and even the creative team he created was directly disbanded. Then the Gujian team was established, which is really a waste of money.

Since there is an opportunity in this life, Ma Xiaolong decided to firmly grasp the IP of Xianjian in his own hands. First of all, he will produce comics. Adapted, but also get to know Brother Hu and Tianxian!
Ma Xiaolong is quite confident in his painting skills, and he also believes that he will surely impress the editors of the publishing house.

Sure enough, the editor of the publishing house slapped his thigh with excitement after seeing the original painting of the fairy sword: "Okay! The painting is so good!" But he was also quite mad: "What about the one below? Why is it gone? Why is it broken here!? You Was it on purpose? Aren’t you bullying honest people!”

"..."

The editor's madness alarmed the editor-in-chief. After learning the whole story, he was curious and went over it himself.

"What about the bottom? Why is there no bottom!? I want the bottom!!!"

Another crazy one.

After that, things went smoothly. Ma Xiaolong negotiated with the publishing house for 8% of the comic publishing copyright at the cost of not having to pay for the drawing, and only signed the copyright for 5 years.

People with strength will always get better treatment, and the publishing house is full of confidence in Ma Xiaolong's comics and is willing to make concessions to him, a newcomer, so everyone is happy.

Fifty pages of comics are definitely not enough to produce a single book, but Ma Xiaolong is confident that he will draw another [-] pages before the end of this month, which will be enough to produce a comic.

The publishing house also guarantees that "Legend of Sword and Fairy" will be put on sale in major bookstores across the country.There is no doubt about this, because the full name of the publishing house is "People's" Fine Arts Publishing House.

This is also an important reason why Ma Xiaolong chose to cooperate with them after careful selection.

After signing the contract on the same day, I took the train home on the same day.

When he got home in the evening, Ma Xiaolong went straight into the study, and for the next half month, he hardly went out except for eating and drinking.

Finally, on the morning of July 7, 31 new drawings were completed. Ma Xiaolong put the drawings into a file bag and handed them to Ma Qiangsheng. He asked him to take the train to send the drawings to the publishing house, and then returned to his bedroom, where he fell asleep in the dark.

On August 8th, a very auspicious day, "Legend of Sword and Fairy" was put on sale in major bookstores across the country.

Then, it exploded.
