British writer

Cavendish has promised to fight!

The eyes of the others moved back and forth between Lu Shi and Cavendish, and their heads shook slightly, as if they were watching a table tennis match.

Lu Shi's face was as cold as ice,

"Mr. Chancellor has something in his words. Let me compare with Mr. James, what is the comparison?"

He ran his fingers over the spines of the books on the shelf, pulled out one,

It is the first volume of None Survived by the Royal Publishing Office.

Lu Shi said, "Compare sales?"

Then, he pulled out another copy of "Guns, Germs, and Steel" and shook it in front of Cavendish with a playful voice: "Of course ~ Maybe the professors in Cambridge don't value sales very much, then... Let's compare Word of mouth?"

Isn't it because of Lu Shi's works that Cambridge invited Lu Shi?

Compared with Lu Shi, I'm afraid I want to fart.

Cavendish used his hands unconsciously,

He was straightening the brim of his hat and it deformed slightly, turning the bowler hat into a bucket hat.

Lu Shi snorted coldly,

"No."

This word is synonymous with "seeing off".

Cavendish flicked his gloves sharply,

The glove hit the air, making a whistling sound.

This gesture is considered impolite in Europe.

Lu Shi said, "What? Mr. Supervisor, do you have anything to say?"

Cavendish replied: "Mr. Lu seems to be very confident. If so, then it is really a good comparison. James's strange stories are very good fantasy novels in my opinion. Mr. Lu can write such a story. work?"

Fantasy novels?

It's obviously unfair to say that.

Natsume Soseki opened his mouth,

As a result, before he had time to speak, Phyllis on the side spoke first: "Professor Lu's popular novels are detective adventures, and they can't be compared with fantasy novels!"

Everyone was stunned and looked at the fourteen-year-old girl in surprise.

Dale reacted,

"Phyllis, are you crazy!?"

The chancellor of the University of Cambridge is not to be offended by ordinary people.

Only then did Phyllis realize what he had done just now, and his face suddenly turned into a red apple.

She didn't know where she got the courage from, but when she saw Lu Shi being bullied by Cavendish just now, she was impulsive, and without even thinking about it, she slapped Cavendish fiercely.

The girl stuck out her tongue cutely, and held me up to cover her face.

We sleep soundly,

It woke up in a daze, looked around,

"Meow?"

The maiden and the cat look so beautiful that it lightens the grim atmosphere of the room.

Although Cavendish felt disdainful in his heart, he had to admit that the appearance of the girl and the cat made him more or less rational.

He returned the gentleman's shelf and said, "Mr. Lu, take your leave."

After speaking, he walked towards the door.

However, Lu Shi didn't intend to let him leave just like that.

"Mr. Chancellor is really interesting. You are the one who comes here without warning, and you are the one who wants to leave after losing his temper. What? In your eyes, do all places in London can be unimpeded? Do you dare to visit Buckingham Palace like this?"

The temperature in the room seemed to be ten degrees lower.

Cavendish froze for a moment, then turned around, not even willing to maintain the smile on the surface,

"Does Mr. Lu have any advice?"

Lu Shi was sitting in a chair, playing with the corner of the first volume of "None Survived" with his fingers,

The hardcover books are of excellent quality, with a slight rustling sound that can be jarring in a quiet room.

Cavendish couldn't bear the current situation,

He spoke again,

"Mr. Lu, may I ask, do you still, have, what, point, teach?"

The words were almost squeezed out between the teeth.

Lu Shi smiled,

"Just now, Mr. Superintendent seemed to want to make a bet with me on behalf of Mr. James. I'm curious, are you in charge of this kind of thing?"

Actually want to bet.

Cavendish narrowed his eyes and said: "We Cambridge people have never been afraid of challenges. However, as the beautiful lady said, James has always written fantasy novels, mainly about strange stories. ... hum..."

James mostly writes horror stories,

But at the beginning of the 20th century, there was no very detailed classification of horror stories, so they were classified as fantasy stories.

Lu Shi pondered for a moment,

"That's better than fantasy."

Natsume Soseki couldn't help but stare blankly, looking at the typewriter on the table,

Next to it, there is "Roger's Mystery" just completed by Lu Shi. That novel cannot be considered a fantasy novel by any means.

Cavendish didn't expect that Lu Shi would abolish his martial arts,

In his heart, he even admired Lu Shi's courage, but at the same time felt that Lu Shi was stupid,

The Chinese may be able to write ghost novels,

And can write well,

However, that stuff has no soil at all in Europe.

As for the fantasy novels that Europeans like, the Chinese are absolutely unable to write them, because they lack cultural background.

Cavendish said, "Compared to what?"

Lu Shi smiled,

"Whatever, compare sales, word of mouth... or anything else, just come."

Cavendish nodded slowly,

"Okay, since that's the case, I'll just wait for Mr. Lu's masterpiece. If Mr. Lu loses, then let's say it openly... um... Our bet is a secret meeting, without damaging your reputation, and naturally there is nothing to apologize for. Then How about this, if Mr. Lu loses, he can publicly express his longing for Cambridge University."

At that time, it will really give Lu Shi an honorary degree,

Or sternly refuse, take the opportunity to humiliate,

All within Cavendish's thought.

After speaking, he turned to leave.

Lu Shi called him to stop: "Mr. School Supervisor, why are you so anxious? I haven't asked for it yet."

Cavendish's eagerness to leave was not intentional, because he never thought that James would lose.

He stopped,

"Mr. Lu, please tell me, I'm all ears."

Lu Shi pondered,

After a long time, he said, "Well, if Mr. James loses, your University of Cambridge will openly invite me to give a speech in the newspaper."

This bet is very similar to Cavendish's, and there are advances and retreats at the same time, which can be regarded as leaving a way out.

Cavendish admired Lu Shi even more in his heart,

"Then it's a deal!"

He had already figured it out, when Lu Shi lost this bet, he would play a magnanimous role, stand up as an old man and criticize Lu Shi's arrogance first, then extend an olive branch and invite Lu Shi to enter Cambridge,

After beating and pulling, Lu Shi must be sincerely convinced, accepting his head and bowing.

Thinking of that scene, Cavendish couldn't help but feel a little complacent. Even the uneasy mood just now was diluted a little, and he walked towards the door with a smile,

"Mr. Lu, in order to win, Cambridge will use various methods, even including the media to create momentum."

Lu Shi did not give an inch,

"Me too."

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

Cavendish held the doorknob and said, "No need to send it away."

Of course no one sent him.

He pushed the door out.

With a "squeak", the room returned to calm again.

Lu Shi turned to West and said, "Mr. West, if Mr. Bridges also wants to try my weight, then...welcome."

West touched his nose awkwardly,

He knew that Lu Shi was a poet, and he was an outstanding poet. Both "A Generation" and "Answer" were extremely rare masterpieces.

When Briggs confronted Lu Shi head-on, he was likely to be beaten to pieces.

West said: "Mr. Lu, to be honest, I knew you were a prudent and sincere person after seeing your performance just now... Ahem... I knew you were a cautious and sincere person. What you did just now was too disrespectful."

With that said, West bowed to Lu Shi,

"I sincerely apologize here."

This attitude is very good.

Lu Shi chuckled,

"I thought I was really going to write another poem~"

The corner of West's mouth twitched, he hurriedly said goodbye to Lu Shi, and walked out the door quickly.

Because it is a new author number, so the new issue can only have two chapters a day, I hope everyone will bear with me.
