"I'm sorry, Mr. Shi Ke. On behalf of Mr. Baker, I would like to express my gratitude and honor to be recognized by you and your newspaper." Lydia said unhurriedly. Anyway, for her, this has long been established. As for what Adam has set, it is basically possible to change: "However, I regret to tell you that it is impossible to change the way the novel is serialized and the number of chapters finally published in the newspaper. I hope you can forgive me. "

"Can I ask Mr. Baker about this matter? If we can increase the content published in our newspaper, our newspaper office can provide many favorable conditions. I believe Mr. Baker will like it." William Smith did not expect Lydia to consider He didn't even think about it, and refused directly, but he didn't give up, and tried to persuade.

"Mr. Baker has left California after accepting Wanggui's interview, and went on a trip to relax, and now we are unable to contact him. I am very sorry to disappoint your company. In addition, the follow-up content of the novel is not in my hands In fact, even if we intend to accept your company's request on behalf of Mr. Baker, there is no way to do it." Lydia sneered, and rejected his request again.

However, not all of her words were lies. After receiving the interview from the newspaper, Adam directly handed over the follow-up arrangements to Lydia, and then set off to meet Carol, who was traveling around the United States. , as a birthday present for Carol.

He regretted not being able to travel around California with Carol last time, and this time because of the novel, he missed Carol’s birthday again, so this time he decided to spend more than a month with him. Traveling around the United States with Carol is also a way to relax.

After all, for Adam, since he started drawing the comic "Druid" in May last year, he has basically not had much rest, one thing after another, there is almost no end, although he also enjoys the fun of work, He likes to get the appreciation, honor and money from others, but he is also a person after all, and he also needs to relax occasionally. Being able to visit the United States with his beloved is definitely the best way to relax in his mind.

However, Lydia's words dealt a huge blow to the longing-forward editor William Skeleton. In order to think about how to get enough benefits so that the other party could agree to his request and continue to publish the subsequent chapters in the newspaper, he Racked his brains, and even made a plan, how to persuade shareholders to agree to his plan.

As a result, Lydia knocked him to the ground with a light word, and ruined all his plans at once. He was like a boxer who had been accumulating energy for a long time, wanting to give his target a heavy blow. In the end, the other party didn't respond at all, so he rushed to nothing, which made him feel so uncomfortable that he almost vomited blood, but he couldn't lose his temper, and he had to give her good words. After all, the follow-up content still needs to be provided by them. His future is promising. It's all bet on it.

Therefore, I could only force myself to swallow what I wanted to say, and then forced a little smile and said: "In that case, forget it. But if Mr. Baker comes back from a trip, or contacts you, I hope Miss James Be sure to inform Mr. Baker of our sincerity as soon as possible."

"Of course, if Mr. Baker comes back, we will tell him your sincerity as soon as possible. I believe that Mr. Baker will be extremely grateful and honored that his work has been recognized by your company." Lydia said politely She said some empty words, sent the other party away, and then continued her breakfast. She has a lot of work today!

Adam left all of a sudden, and left everything to her. Although her salary was increased by [-]%, which became extremely impressive, it had to be offset by her sweat and energy.But how should I put it, although the work is extremely cumbersome, such as the decoration of several houses, the preliminary preparations for the "Jurassic Park" movie in Hollywood, and the promotion of the novel at the follow-up publishing house, as well as global promotion. I helped him pay attention in real time, and I was so busy that I couldn't stop spinning.

……

On Tuesday, although there were no subsequent chapters of "The Witcher", due to the influence of Chapter 1, the 12 copies of the newspaper published by the California Times were all sold out.

Although he failed to negotiate a contract with Adam to add chapters later, the newspaper's thriving results now make the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, William Skeleton, extremely satisfied. He can imagine that after next Monday, the sales of the newspaper will soar. , The scene where he was praised and rewarded by the director of the newspaper office.

Because of the hot phone complaints on Tuesday, William Skell went against the crowd and raised the print run of the newspaper on Wednesday to 14 copies, the highest print run this year. After publishing a chapter, can he have such a big influence, but this risk still has to be taken, as long as he has the idea of ​​​​improving the sales of the newspaper.

……

Because he couldn't see the new chapter on Tuesday, Tom was very disappointed. He invited his friends to play games at home for a day, but at night, Tom, who used to watch TV and play games until late at night, didn't need his mother this time. The supervisor, washed up early and entered his room.

Yesterday, my father personally called the newspaper office for him, and the other party said that there will definitely be a new chapter published on it on Wednesday, so in order to see it tomorrow, he has to go to bed early so that he can get up early to read the new chapter. chapter.

But his approach was extremely effective, and it was rare for him to go to bed at ten o'clock in the summer vacation, so Tom woke up as early as six o'clock the next day as he expected.

He opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling of the room in a daze. After slowly returning to consciousness, he glanced at the clock beside the bed and saw that it was already a quarter past six. He asked his mother specifically yesterday , Knowing that the newspaper delivery worker can deliver the newspaper at 05:30 every day, at this time, there is no doubt that the newspaper must have arrived at his door, waiting for him to read it.

So, he jumped up from the bed, put on his shoes, and ran directly to the door, because it was relatively early, and his parents didn't get up, so the whole house was very silent, but Tom, who was full of newspapers, didn't care about it at all. Tengdeng ran out.

He opened the door, and sure enough, he saw that the newspaper had been placed in front of the door. He pulled out the newspaper and turned to the last page, and sure enough, a new chapter was published on it.

Compared with Chapter 1, which is mixed in the middle of a pile of newspapers, it seems that there is no sense of existence. Chapter 2 not only has a thick black border, but also the font inside is more beautiful and beautiful, and the advertisements on the border are much more refreshing.

But these have no effect on Tom who only pays attention to novels. As long as there are novels to read, he doesn't care how the newspaper is arranged.

Holding the newspaper in his hand, he sat directly on the rattan chair outside the house, and then looked down at the content of the novel.

At the end of the last chapter, the author gave this luxurious banquet a massacre without warning—fighting, blood, and screaming, which made people feel excited, but this chapter did not follow the previous chapter The massacre continued this feast of blood, but instead changed the angle of view, focusing the camera on the host of the ball, that is, the most authoritative bloodline nobleman in the entire town, Earl David.

Turning back the time to the beginning of Chapter 1 is like a story from two different perspectives traveling on a timeline.Although the timeline and location of the two stories are the same, there is even a lot of overlap with the people who appear on the screen.

But obviously, Adam didn't want to repeat the story told in the first chapter in Chapter 1.At the beginning of the story, the most respectable Earl, who repeatedly appeared in the mouths of the guests in Chapter 1, pierced the throat of a bound beast with a sword in his hand under the watchful eyes of the guards, and used a pot with a strange shape Pretend to take the blood that the beast shed.

In the wailing of the dying beast, the jug was filled with fresh blood, and finally it was plugged with a eucalyptus stopper, and handed over to the silver plate held by the guard.While wiping the blood splattered on his body, he asked the protagonist tonight—why his son who is about to grow up has not returned yet?

He asked his servants to bring the dead Meng □ to the kitchen to cook as the finale of tonight.Then, he knew that he ordered the guards in the mansion to spare some of them to search along the direction his son was hunting, so that he could catch up with the evening dance.

This entire chapter advances the plot from his perspective, making people a little curious about the secrets of this so-called blood noble family, and wondering whether the massacre that happened later is related to it.

Although Tom was very anxious and wanted to know the plot behind the massacre, he had to be patient and followed the earl's footsteps, watching how he arranged trivial matters.Unlike Chapter 1, which gives people a sense of grandeur, singing and dancing, this chapter clearly tells what happened in the same manor at the same time, but with a different perspective, the whole atmosphere is completely changed. Starting from the howling beast, the whole story falls into a depressing atmosphere of terror.

Adam didn't deliberately use anything to exaggerate, but just added a little weight in the readers' minds, so that this ruthless atmosphere of terror gradually heated up with the earl step by step.Finally, as the count walked down the deep basement step by step, the faint blue torch around him flickered and rose to a small high point, which made people hold their breath.
