Konoha: There’s something wrong with the card I summoned

"There is one more thing that I think I should tell you in advance, that is, I plan to serialize my new novel in the newspaper..."

Before Haruki could finish the second half of his sentence, Mitani Fu started shouting.

"I'm sorry! Teacher Yuye, I was really joking just now. Don't scare me. How can a novel be serialized in a newspaper?"

His expression was as excited as if he heard that his son was born to Lao Wang next door.

"You listen to me first."

Haruki explained helplessly, "I only serialized the contents of the first volume in the newspaper, which is about 50,000 words, as publicity."

"publicity?"

Mitani Fu didn't react for a while.

Mainly because he has been working for decades and this is the first time he has heard of this kind of propaganda.

"That's right, it's just like the trial reading service provided by your book club."

Haruki made an analogy.

Trial reading, as the name suggests, means that every reader who comes to the bookstore to buy a new book can try to read the first part of the new book to decide whether to spend money.

Mitani studied it carefully for a moment, and suddenly understood Haruki's operation.

He wanted to bind the interests of the newspaper and the book club.

Let the book club desperately promote the newspaper according to the standards of bestsellers. After all, it is related to the publication of new novels.

Needless to say, the manpower and material resources involved go without saying.

This operation can be described as exquisite.

"You're really not at a disadvantage."

Mitani Fu smiled helplessly.

"A win-win situation. I also provide you with free promotion channels. If there are new novels by other writers, they can also be serialized with us."

Seeing that Mitani Fu had already guessed it, Haruki showed off his cards.

He just wanted to spend free time at Jiyang Book Club.

Although he has already done publicity planning, the book club itself has huge energy.

If they were asked to promote the newspaper, they would definitely be unwilling to do so.

After switching to the new book "Rainy Night" without a knife, they will do it even if they don't want to.

And this method has been proven in previous lives.

Similar to early screening of a movie.

"..."

San Gufu was speechless.

Doesn't your conscience hurt when you say this?

A newly established newspaper, what kind of channel is it?

I'll switch to Konoha Times, doesn't it smell good?

The most outrageous thing is that he actually wants to prostitute other writers for free.

Damn it, you're wasting your talents as a writer.

Come be a businessman with me.

“The prerequisite for this method to be effective is the quality of the novel.”

As an old editor, Mitani Fu had a very sharp eye and immediately thought of the key point.

"Of course, I believe in Teacher Yuye's strength. What I mean is, can you let us see the specific content before making a decision? If there is no problem, we will definitely give you the greatest support."

In short, I just want to see the goods first.

Haruki took out "Black Beast" and said, "It's just one copy, just read it."

Sangu's eyes lit up, he actually said that, but he didn't expect that he would really agree.

In fact, with Haruki's two consecutive best-selling books, even if the third one is poorly written, many people will buy it.

Jiying Book Club would not dare to fall out.

Even if you don’t show them the content, you will do your best to promote it.

Mitani grabbed it and looked through it in the reading room.

After a few minutes, he was stunned.

What kind of color novel is this?

It's too outrageous.

Although the plot is the same as the previous novels, the content and method are different.

It can be said to be a perfect combination of violence and desire.

Moreover, the world view is well designed and grand. Not only are the female characters beautiful, they are also nobles.

This made Mitani Fu feel particularly happy.

It coincides with the perversion in Neon's heart and his overpowering psychology.

The only drawback is that the plot is rather dark.

But San Gufu thinks it's okay, it's not a big problem. On the contrary, the more controversial it is, the more popular it will be.

"We agree to your request."

After reading it, Mitani Fu chose to surrender.

no way.

Another novel that can change the entire color world.

This is a masterpiece.

If he misses it, the president will definitely sink him into the river.

"The New Konoha Newspaper will be published next week, so I'll thank you for your hard work."

Haruki put away "Black Beast" and said.

"It's not hard, it's not hard, it should be."

San Gufu smiled brightly, patted his chest and said, "I guarantee you will be satisfied."

Writing one book may be luck, but writing three books in a row represents absolute strength.

From now on, Qingshu will be the prince of Jiying Publishing House, oh no, the emperor.

After leaving the book club, the next stop was the ninja school.

The Ninja School was founded by the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama and trained many strong men.

After his death, the position of principal was passed to the third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen.

However, the Hokage had many things to do and only came to inspect occasionally.

Haruki met Kodai Nara, a chuunin who existed similar to a teaching director.

"I see."

After hearing the purpose, Nara Akira laughed and said, "This is a good thing. The school just needs a night to let the children come out of the shadows."

"I've got nine scripts ready."

Haruki split "Saving Konoha Genin" into nine short plays.

"If there are nine, many classes will definitely not be able to participate."

Nara Kodai hinted, "Which classes are you more optimistic about?"

As a member of the Nara clan, his IQ is far beyond ordinary people.

There are nine programs in a party, no more and no less.

But what about the hundreds of people in the ninja school?

"How is this term going, Sarutobi Asuma?"

Haruki understood his hint and asked.

"Oh, that's quite excellent!"

Akira Nara's eyes widened and he started to boast, "Although he is only a second grader, everyone is a genius, especially Asuma. Please go back and tell Mr. Hokage that Asuma is absolutely fine!"

He could sort of understand why Hokage-sama held a party out of nowhere.

It turned out to be for Sarutobi Asuma.

I'm so smart!

Damn it, here’s your chance for promotion!

"..."

Qingshu always felt that he had misunderstood something.

Although it wasn't that exaggerated, he really wanted to use Sarutobi Asuma to deepen his image again.

Just erect a determined executor of the Will of Fire.

There will probably be no danger for him in the next few years.

"Then I'll trouble you, teacher."

Qingshu didn't stay.

Let’s not talk about how troublesome it is to chat with a group of brats, let’s talk about these plot characters.

Uchiha Obito has the most scenes.

He was really speechless.

Haruki was already planning to ignore him.

Because no matter what, Uchiha Madara and Black Zetsu will find an agent.

Either Obito, or some unknown Uchiha.

But the unknown means trouble.

Qingshu thought it would be better to just take the soil.

Anyway, he hates this guy extremely, and after turning into a black man, he can kill him without any burden.

……

Rain country.

Jiying Bookstore branch.

After two months, Jiraiya came to visit again.

But this time he brought his new work "Intimate Paradise".

Influenced by Teacher Yuye, it is more exciting than the original version.

Jiraiya can be said to be full of confidence.

So much so that he didn't tell his real name.

In the last book, he got good treatment by virtue of the title of Konoha Sannin.

But unfortunately the sales volume is mediocre.

Make that boss change his attitude towards him.

In this world where daimyo and nobles exist, the social status of ninjas is surprisingly low.

If it's a loser, the Sannin is useless.

But today, Jiraiya thought he was here to make a comeback.

As soon as he entered the store, he put out five copies of "Intimate Paradise" and said arrogantly: "Boss, hold an internal reading meeting. The next Rainy Night Without a Knife is about to be born!"

Having already been published once, he is very familiar with the process.

"..."

The boss twitched his lips.

But he didn't say anything.

Looks like this is an old guy.

I have some mental problems.

He called three gold medal editors and started reviewing the manuscript.

An hour later, the boss said: "It can be published."

The expression is quite calm.

"What about the division?"

also asked.

His last book was divided into 40 and 60 points.

"Twenty-eight."

"I'm eighty percent?"

Jiraiya immediately became excited, "Let me tell you, I will be the next Yuya without a knife!"

"It's 80% for us and 20% for you."

The boss corrected him.

"Twenty percent?!"

Jiraiya's smile froze and he said angrily, "Then wouldn't I become a beggar?"

"It seems you don't understand the recent market conditions."

The boss was not angry and said, "From your works, it can be seen that you have been greatly influenced by Teacher Yuye. It is normal, but have you ever thought that since you will be affected, what about other people?"

"what do you mean……?"

Jiraiya had an ominous premonition.

"Teacher Yuye has published two masterpieces in a row, raising the level of the entire novel world and raising the taste of readers. In order not to be eliminated, both new and old authors have borrowed lessons from Teacher Yuye, so the current market is similar to yours Such works are not common, but they are common.”

"..."

Jiraiya was completely stunned.

"It is absolutely fair and equitable to give you a 28% share. Even if you change to another bookstore, you will get the same answer."

The boss made another stab.

"I am Jiraiya, one of the Sannin of Konoha."

After a moment of silence, Jiraiya spoke.

The boss is from Konoha, so he naturally knows the name of the Sannin.

"Are you really Jiraiya?"

He already took the honorific.

"Konoha people don't lie to Konoha people."

Jiraiya took out the original appointment certificate of Sarutobi Hiruzen and said, "With these three words, Jiraiya, isn't it worth a 40-60 split?"

"I'm afraid it's difficult."

The boss said carefully, "Your last masterpiece has not been sold out yet."

As an expatriate store manager, he naturally knows the situation.

Generally speaking, when publishing a book, the first stocking will calculate the expected quantity based on the content and author.

Like Haruki's "Taimanin".

There were only a thousand copies in stock at the beginning, but they were quickly sold out, so we had to work overtime to print.

And Jiraiya’s first stocking has not been sold out yet.

It can be described as a blood loss.

"Hey, do you know how valuable the Sannin of Konoha is?!"

Jiraiya was so angry that he yelled, "I'm going to take a step back. Is Sanqi okay? I'm telling you, don't go too far!"

The boss pondered.

Jiraiya has been in the limelight recently, and writing a color novel for the first time might be a good gimmick.

"make a deal."

He smiled and said, "We will contact the Konoha Main Store and arrange for your new book to be online as soon as possible within a week."

Jiraiya snorted, a little dissatisfied, but there was nothing he could do.

You can't use force to coerce him, he can't afford to lose face.

After leaving the book club and returning home, I saw the three apprentices and my mood improved.

"Konan, how are Honoka and the others doing lately?"

"It's been a tough time, and now the number of personnel has dropped sharply. They plan to lurk first."

Konan replied.

After rescuing Honoka last time, Jiraiya considered that the enemy of his enemy was his friend and allowed them to rebel.
