Shut up, I am really a pure love god of war!

Chapter 294 Return to Xiangdong
It was not until the next day that Bai Yang received news from Li Li again.

"Teacher Bai, this book is so awesome!"

"I never expected the ending of this volume to be so explosive! All the suspense and scattered clues in the previous chapters were all gathered up in just a few chapters!"

"You may not know that when I saw the end, I had goose bumps and tears in my eyes, especially the death of the captain and the second resurrection of the protagonist."

"This is only the first volume, but the plot has already been raised so high. It's not just about the protagonist's growth journey. I feel like the whole world you've built has come alive! I can't wait to see what happens next!"

Seeing the other party's long speech, Bai Yang couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth slightly.

He naturally had some expectations about the quality of the novel he wrote, but it was impossible for him to feel unhappy when he saw that the other party, as an editor, was so excited.

He replied: "So, it can be published?"

"Yes! You can!" Li Li replied quickly: "Please give this book to our publishing house. I will talk to the editor-in-chief later. With the quality of "Mysterious World", the editor-in-chief will definitely be willing to give you the best contract within his authority!"

"Teacher Bai, please believe me and our publishing house. We will definitely make this book a big hit!"

Bai Yang didn't have such high expectations for the book to become a huge hit, even though the book was also extremely popular in its previous life.

He messaged: "I don't know much about physical publishing. Is the word count of the first volume too much for a physical book?"

Li Li: "Teacher Bai means to divide it into two volumes?"

"Normally speaking, for a novel like this, 200,000 or 300,000 words are enough for one volume. However, I personally think that given the plot of the first volume, it would be incomplete if it were divided into two volumes."

"Even if both volumes are released at the same time, a large number of readers will not be able to see the ending of the first volume all at once. I think this is a huge loss for both you and the readers."

"Also, considering that this book is a new IP, it would be better to release it as a single volume for the sake of completeness."

Bai Yang thought about it.

If the book is not published in two volumes, the royalties will naturally be slightly less. After all, the pricing of physical books is not based on the number of words like online articles.

But compared to the revenue from the book itself, Bai Yang is more concerned about the copyright value. After all, the original intention of writing this book was just to establish an IP with enough traffic for his game.

"That's fine. I trust the editor's professional vision."

After replying to the message, Bai Yang put away his phone.

Chun Yuwan next to him glanced over and said, "You are smiling so happily, is it news about Xiaolu?"

"How can a senior high school student have time to send messages at this time?" Bai Yang replied calmly, "It's an editor from the publishing house, talking about the new book."

Chun Yuwan was stunned for a moment: "New book? Is it going to be published so soon?"

"Not fast anymore." Bai Yang said with a wry smile, "You can see that I've been so busy lately that I'm almost working myself to death."

Chun Yuwan nodded.

This is true.

She could say with certainty that Bai Yang must be the most hardworking person she had ever met in her life, no doubt about it.

Even the drawing time that other students complained about was probably a time of relaxation for Bai Yang - although Chun Yuwan felt that he was also part of the other party's relaxation, after all, this guy always bullied him while he was drawing.

"Since the new book is about to be published, you should not be so busy next time, right?" Chun Yuwan asked.

"No, it will be even busier." Bai Yang sighed, "There are still many, many things to do."

Chun wanted to say something late but stopped.

She really wanted to persuade the other party that there was no need to make himself so tired and that a short rest would be enough.

However, I always feel that the other party works so hard because he has a very clear goal, and that goal may also include me.

"However, let's talk about the most recent things." Bai Yang changed the subject: "Xiao Yuwan, I have already bought the plane ticket. We will be flying to Feixing City tomorrow."

"Hmm," Chun Yuwan paused, "Actually, we can take the train with Jianon and the others. It's too expensive to buy plane tickets at the last minute."

"Time is more valuable." Bai Yang waved his hand: "Xiao Yuwan, don't tell me you'll pay me back for my plane ticket. It was my own will that prevented you from taking the train."

"Come to think of it, it costs me too little to have a beauty like you accompany me."

Chun Yuwan pursed her lips and said, "Anyway, I've already spent a lot of your money, so it doesn't matter if I lose this time. But even if you say so, I still owe you what I owe you."

"You know, money is not that important to me." Bai Yang smiled.
"You can pay it back in other ways."

Chun Yuwan was alert instinctively: "Stop!"

Don't even think of finding an excuse for me to wear black stockings!
"Okay." Bai Yang looked regretful.

"By the way, since you are going back to Xingcheng to take the art exam, would you like to go back to Xiangdong as well?"

Chun Yuwan shook her head: "My mother will come to Xingcheng to find me, so there is no need to go back."

"That's true." Bai Yang smiled and said, "Teacher Luo hasn't seen you for such a long time, he must have missed you so much."

He sighed, "It's almost time for the joint entrance exam. It seems that CAFA's entrance exam registration is also about to start. Xiao Yuwan, besides CAFA, are you applying to other schools?"

Chun Yuwan said calmly, "No." "Are you so confident?" Bai Yang smiled and said, "Are you sure you don't want to find a backup? If something unexpected happens in the school entrance examination, you will have to repeat the year."

"Except CAFA, I haven't considered going to any other schools." Chun Yuwan looked at Bai Yang: "What about you?"

"I will only apply to CAFA." Bai Yang spread his hands: "After all, if I am not in the same school as you, I would rather repeat the year."

Chun Yuwan was already immune to this kind of confession. She just nodded and said, "Then let's work hard together."

The art joint examination is based on provinces. For most art students, the art joint examination is actually their college entrance examination.

After all, universities that require students to take separate entrance exams are basically schools that excel in fine arts. For the huge number of art students across the country, there are too many students and too few places.

Most art students still only rely on their scores in the art joint examination and the college entrance examination to apply for art majors in ordinary universities.

For example, students who did not participate in the training camp, or students who participated in the training camp but failed the school entrance examination and do not want to repeat the year will choose this path.

But for Bai Yang and Chun Yuwan, the joint examination is just a necessary formality.

Flying from the imperial capital to Star City, the winter in the south feels completely different from that in the north. Even wearing a down jacket, the cold still seems to penetrate into the bones, making people very uncomfortable.

Teacher Luo personally went to the airport to pick up Chun Yuwan, and Bai Yang had to find a hotel near the examination venue to stay temporarily.

The exam on the second day was unremarkable. The sketch was to draw a portrait photo, and the color was to directly write a still life from memory.

For Bai Yang, who has been training for such a long time and whose courses have begun to develop towards color portraits and propositional creation, such test questions are really too simple.

The most impressive thing about the whole day of exams was probably that Bai Yang discovered that most of the art students were really just trying to get by. They had already taken the joint entrance exam, but their portraits were almost as good as those of beginners. The eyes were not eyes, the nose was not a nose, and they were all masters of abstract art.

No wonder in later generations, short videos of low-scoring art papers often become popular. It is really easy to make people laugh.

After the exam, I did not rush back to the capital immediately.

It was a rare opportunity for Teacher Luo to see Chun Yuwan, so naturally he wanted to stay with her for two more days. Bai Yang also took this opportunity to board the train back to Xiangdong County.

After casually placing his luggage in the rental house, Bai Yang happily ate a bowl of noodles at the old place, and then rushed to Xiangdong No. 1 Middle School without stopping.

It's still class time, and the security guard is lying leisurely at the door basking in the winter sun.

Bai Yang was still organizing his words to explain to the other party that he was a student of this school, but the security guard's eyes lit up when he looked at him and blurted out:

"Hey, aren't you the one doing the lion dance for the birthday party? I thought you were expelled. How do you have time to come back to school?"

poplar:"."

"Uncle, I was not fired. I just went to another place for training."

"Oh." The old man nodded, his tone regretful: "That's good, that's good."

"Speaking of which, your birthday is coming soon this year, right?"

"My wife is in the waist drum team. How about I introduce her to you? I guarantee you a good price!"

Bai Yang pursed his lips into a straight line, quickened his pace, and pretended not to hear.

Suddenly I felt that I was too soft on Zhong Xilu’s birthday last time.

There was no change in the school. It was afternoon and there were still first-year high school students taking physical education classes on the playground. Although they were all wearing warm clothes, the youthful and unrestrained atmosphere was still overflowing.

"A new generation replaces the old one."

Bai Yang felt a little emotional. He walked without stopping and walked to the teaching building as if he was familiar with the route.

Class 499.

Before he got close, he heard Ye Guodong's familiar roar coming from inside.

"I've explained this type of question ten thousand times! And you still got it wrong!"

"What? Are your brains straight? You can't recognize it if the question is slightly changed?"

"There is one last big question, and only three people in the class managed to answer it! Is this question that difficult? If you can't even answer this kind of question, don't waste your time on the last three big questions in the college entrance examination. Just write down one 'solution' for each one!"

"Wake up! The college entrance examination is coming soon! What are you thinking about every day?"

"This is the most important exam in your life! If you don't take it seriously now, you will regret it in the future when you can only rely on hard labor to make a living! Don't think that everyone is Bai Yang and can make a living by relying on talent!"

Bai Yang raised an eyebrow.

Oh no? This could be used as a positive example?
He looked in through the window.

He glanced at Ye Guodong, the faces of familiar classmates, and then the original seat.

Finally, his eyes fell on a single seat at the back of the classroom.

The girl was sitting lazily, holding her face with one hand, looking bored.
