Chapter 10 Writing Novels Really Makes Money

Jilaiya and Qingming were not in a hurry, they walked slowly in the forest of the country of grass, and it was not until evening that they managed to walk out of the forest and came to the edge of a cliff in a grand canyon.

"Go ahead, there is a bridge." Jiraiya seemed to be very familiar with this place.

As a small country sandwiched between the two big countries of Fire and Rock, the Country of Grass has always been a relatively unlucky and embarrassing existence.

Every time there is a big war, this country is a war zone. For example, the battle of Kannabi Bridge in the third Ninja World War took place in the territory of the country of grass.

Jiraiya may have participated in the war in this place when he was young.

The two walked along the cliff on the edge of the Grand Canyon, and there was an abyss underneath, and there was at least a few hundred meters between them.

The canyon inexplicably blew a whirlwind, carrying the weed debris in the forest, and drying the wet clothes on the two of them in a short while.

Qing Ming asked, "Teacher, how long will it take us to reach Konoha?"

Jilai also took a look at the setting sun, and replied: "If the current speed is used, there should be three or four days. Do you feel that the journey is a bit boring?"

Qing Ming quickly shook her head and said, "I don't feel bored, but I'm looking forward to it."

"Expectation?" Zilai also laughed, stretched out his palm and put it flat on his forehead, squinted his eyes and looked ahead, and said, "The Tiandi Bridge is almost here."

Tiandiqiao, is that where Naruto Tailed Beast and Orochimaru fought?Of course, this is all for later. The Naruto at this meeting is probably still eating expired instant noodles at home, and he is the tail of a crane who doesn't even have friends.

After walking for a few minutes, a wide wooden bridge appeared ahead, spanning both sides of the Grand Canyon.

Amazing, there is no modern technology in the world of Naruto, but it is a miracle to be able to build a wooden bridge that is not a reinforced concrete structure on this natural barrier!

Walking from the stable bridge to the opposite side of the Grand Canyon, the two walked for a while until the night fell, and finally came to a small town where humans gathered.

Calling this place a small town is a bit out of standard. In fact, there are only a few dozen houses here and there. There is a relatively wide road in the middle of the houses. At best, it is only a small gathering place.

However, although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs. There are not only hotels for tourists to rest, but also pubs, restaurants, ninja shops, etc. There are even old men selling ramen and oden on the side of the road.

Most of the people gathered here are business travelers passing by. Occasionally, there will be one or two people dressed as ninjas. Judging from the forehead, there are ninjas from various ninja villages. They probably rest here on the way out of the mission.

Zilai also pointed to a small tavern not far away, and ordered: "Qingming, take my letter and go to the bookstore at the end of the street to find a fat boss. The country's agent, let him settle the copyright fee for the first half of the year."

Qingming nodded, took the letter that Zilai also handed over, and watched him smile as he lifted the curtain of the tavern, and walked in surrounded by a group of girls with amazing figures.

Sighing, don't you have to do these trivial things to be an assistant?
After walking for less than 2 minutes, a brightly lit shop appeared at the end of the street. There was a plaque next to the shop in the shape of a book. This must be the bookstore Jiraiya mentioned.

Opening the curtain, Qingming found that there were no customers in the shop except for the fat boss who was taking a nap.

"Boss." Qingming called softly.

The fat boss mumbled something in his sleep, and didn't respond to Qing Ming's call at all.

With a sudden slap on the table, Qing Ming shouted, "Boss!"

The fat boss was taken aback. He opened his eyes and looked at the young man who was less than 18 years old in front of him. He rubbed his chubby cheeks, pointed to a corner of the store impatiently, and said, "Are you here to buy " Make-out in Paradise, it’s all over there, there are not many in stock, and if you don’t collect one more, it will be out of stock.”

Qingming is full of black lines, it really is a bestseller, and it can be sold out in such a small remote place.

He took out the letter from his pocket and handed it to the fat boss, saying, "I'm not here to buy books."

"Why don't you buy books?" The fat boss asked suspiciously.

Qing Ming explained: "I'm Master Jiraiya's assistant, he told me to come over and settle the copyright fee for the first half of the year."

"Assistant?" The fat boss doesn't seem to believe it. As one of Konoha Sannin, Jiraiya-sama is also a best-selling author in the ninja world. Naturally, he is well-known, but he has always been a loner. I've never heard of Zilai also having any kind of assistant.

After receiving the letter from Qingming, the fat boss put on a pair of glasses and examined it carefully. After confirming that it was certain, he raised his head to look at the unfamiliar Qingming, and nodded meaningfully.

"You wait here first, I'll go inside to get the money." The fat boss said.

Qingming nodded, then walked to the bookshelf and began to flip through the books on it.

"I can't understand..." Except for the illustrations, he couldn't understand any texts in Naruto World, so a book with a combination of pictures and texts like "Intimate Heaven" is suitable for him.

Not long after, the fat boss came out from the room, carrying a leather suitcase in his hand.

"This is 1000 million, you order." The fat boss lightly pressed the valve with both thumbs, and the leather case was opened with a "snap", and a box full of notes appeared in front of him, all of which were large-denomination banknotes officially issued by Konoha .

"Is writing novels so profitable?" Picking up a thick stack of money, Qing Ming swallowed and muttered to herself.

If he remembers correctly, at the gold exchange in the black market, the price of the body of Ji Lu, one of the twelve guardian ninjas of the Land of Fire, was 3000 million yuan, and Kakuzu even risked his life for the 3000 million yuan. Might as well write novels to make money.

The fat boss looked a little strange, he took out a red seal, stamped it on the letter with a "snap", handed it to Qingming and said, "If there is no problem, let it be, I'm going to close the shop for a rest."

Regardless of whether the amount of money was right or not, Qingming closed the leather case, took the letter and walked out.

"What time is it, the shop is closed for rest..." Qingming complained, the fat boss didn't seem to like him very much.

There were few stars in the night, and the cool breeze was blowing on his face. Qing Ming took a deep breath. If it wasn't for the war, life in the world of Naruto would actually be pretty good.

Of course, the corners of the Akatsuki organization once said that money is a very important thing.

No matter in any world, anywhere, without money is absolutely impossible.

"Hey, kid, bring the leather case in your hand." In the alley, two figures came out from the darkness, holding sharp kunai in their hands.

Under the street lamp, the shadows of the three people were drawn long.

Qing Ming glanced back at the fat boss who had closed the door in a hurry. The window in the bookstore just faced the alley. This guy probably saw that these two people were planning to plot something wrong just now. He found a random reason to drive Qing Ming out of the bookstore.
