The author of the depressing comic book series makes the heroine cry.

Skip class! And become a light novel writer!

To be honest, taxis in Tokyo are really expensive, so Xia Qiu chose to take the Shinkansen to Dengeki Bunko.

Although the Shinkansen is not cheap, it is at least better than a taxi.

I picked up two tickets and took the Shinkansen to Dengeki Bunko in the city.

Hmm...how should I put it~it’s really nice to skip classes and not have to go to school!

After leaving the subway station, Xia Qiu came to the building where the Dengeki Bunko was located.

According to the information from the editor on Line, Xia Qiu came to the third floor and as soon as he entered the door, he saw a woman in professional attire waiting for him.

"Hello, teacher. I am your editor-in-charge. My name is Kagurazaka Ayame."

I have to say that when I saw Xia Qiu, I still felt a little surprised. Although I already knew the teacher's age from Line, it still made me sigh when I actually saw him.

To have such writing skills at such a young age is truly a genius.

And Xia Qiu's appearance is handsome enough, at least much more handsome than that No. 1 gigolo in Japan. This is a selling point that can be packaged!

A super handsome Japanese high school student, a genius healing light novel writer, with these titles, it would be hard not to sell well.

"Hello, hello, my name is Xia Qiu."

He reached out his hand and shook hands with Acorus.

"From the name... Is the teacher from China?"

"Yes, I'm an international student."

Acorus was shocked again! The light novels written by international students were so popular with locals, which was enough to show what a genius Xia Qiu was.

"The teacher must have come to Japan when he was very young, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to write such a top-notch masterpiece."

After that, Changpu invited Xia Qiu to his office.

"As for the royalties we offer for signing contracts, it's about 9% because the teacher's work is a big prize. Generally, the best royalties we can give to newcomers are 9%. If the quality of the teacher's subsequent works is always very good, you can still negotiate with us on royalties."

"It's about 950 yen per volume. We will pay the same amount to excellent authors for the publicity and promotion costs. You don't have any familiar illustrators, right? If not, we can arrange one for you."

It can be seen that Dengeki Bunko attaches great importance to Xia Qiu's book, and the conditions offered are quite good.

Even though 9% royalties may not be high, Xia Qiu doesn’t have to pay any tax on the money he earns.

And if 100,000 copies are sold, the money received will probably be Japanese yen, which is equivalent to nearly 400,000 Chinese yuan.

Isn't it just a wave of fat? !

However, it is a bit difficult to sell 100,000 copies in a single month. If you can sell 30,000 copies in the first month, it will be a big hit. You can strive for 500,000 sales in the future. As for sales of one million...

Honestly speaking, it would be difficult for Four Lies to be successful without the blessing of the comic adaptation, even if the novel was truly outstanding.

Kagurazaka Ayame said a lot and was very serious.

To be honest, the Japanese light novel industry is really responsible! If I were to give an example, it would be equivalent to the role of a domestic agent.

From the publication to the promotion and release of a novel, there are many things that the editor needs to pay attention to.

Just like those light novel writers in the previous life, the author really has to kowtow to the editor, such as the author of Sword.

"Okay, then let's do as you say."

"Okay, since the teacher agrees, but the teacher is only sixteen years old, right? It seems that you need to bring a guardian, but since you are an international student, this point seems to be skipped."

After all, you can't ask their parents to fly over from China across the ocean, right?

As she spoke, Kagurazaka Ayame took out a contract and handed it over.

Xia Qiu took the contract and read it carefully. Contracts are something that need to be read seriously. He hoped not to become one of the players whose contract is blocked, as that would be a waste of time.

However, it is impossible for a large company like Dengeki Bunko to set traps on an ordinary little author like Xia Qiu, so there is no big problem with the contract.

Xia Qiu picked up the pen and signed his name.

"Okay, can I call you Teacher Xia Qiujun from now on? Because calling you Teacher Xiajun or Qiujun seems a bit weird."

"Of course there is no problem. I will trouble the editor-in-chief Chang Pu to take care of me in the future."

After you get to know each other well, you can call each other by your names.

Xia Qiu naturally had no such concerns, it was just a name.

Moreover, according to the class society of Japan, Acorus should be called Xia Qiu's pen name plus the title of teacher, or simply his real name plus the title of teacher.

However, looking at the other's young face, Kagurazaka Ayame really couldn't bring herself to call out the word "teacher". It would be a bit awkward for her to call her brother, who was a generation younger than her, "teacher". It would be better for her to change to a more intimate name.

And...the pen name Xia Qiu is really funny!

You can't let Kagurazaka Ayame call Xia Qiu a lolita love teacher, right? Xia Qiu doesn't care about face, but she still has some shame!

"But Xia Qiu-kun's writing is amazing. Usually, when a light novel is handed over to our editor, we need to read it once to find unreasonable or inappropriate wording and ask the author to revise it. The one Xia Qiu sent to our editorial department is already perfect enough, which makes me, the editor, feel useless."

Chang Pu made a slight complaint, and then sighed, "Is this the world of geniuses? What's the point of revising or not? I just passed it in one go!"

"Ah? Do you need to revise it?"

For a web writer like Xia Qiu in his previous life, the most painful thing is to revise the text. To revise a Jill! It would be better to just rewrite it from scratch.

"By the way, when will the reward for this grand prize be given to me?"

Now Xia Qiu is more concerned about this! The grand prize is 3 million yen! It is enough for Xia Qiu to live in Japan, where every inch of land is worth a lot of money, before paying for the manuscript.

"Usually, the money will be transferred to your card within one month before the release date. Is Xia Qiujun short of money?"

"To be honest, before I wrote light novels, I considered becoming a gigolo."

“Pfft… That really wastes Xia Qiujun’s abilities. However, considering Xia Qiujun’s pretty face, Neon’s No. 1 gigolo should really step aside and give up his throne.”

"Well, generally speaking, the four lies can be published before mid-May, so the grand prize money may be sent to you in mid-April. If Xia Qiujun is short of money, I can apply to the editor-in-chief to send you part of it in advance, and I will call you by tomorrow night at the latest."

I am so grateful! If I didn't have this money, Xia Qiu really planned to challenge the wilderness survival tomorrow, but Japan doesn't allow begging.
