Welcome To the World of Power Supremacy

The person in charge of his own book is the editor-in-chief named Machida Yuanko, who is also the deputy editor-in-chief of the Undead River Bookstore. There is no one who can rely on status to make Igarashi feel such emotions.

But I’m happy, since Sword Art Online is in charge of the editor-in-chief of the library, it seems to have been taken seriously, and Igarashi can be regarded as the first step to gain experience in this world.

Toyozaki Academy is in Chiba, and Bunko is headquartered in Tokyo, and they belong to two different cities. Fortunately, Neon is not big, and Chiba and Tokyo are not far away, otherwise the long journey is enough to dispel Igarashi. There is very little positivity.

Tokyo is naturally much more prosperous than Chiba, and the price of land is also unimaginably high. It is almost impossible for an ordinary person to own a house of his own in Tokyo. The Fantastic Library Headquarters, which is quite stylish, is different. The insurmountable gulf of class.

After explaining to the front desk, the receptionist came down to the reception room with a respectful attitude. Igarashi did not deliberately emphasize that his work was favored by the editor-in-chief, and his appearance seemed to be just a student, and he had no status. The attitude of the members still gave people a feeling of spring breeze, which made Igarashi sigh inwardly. It was the combination of various factors that were difficult for ordinary people to achieve that made a big group.

"This is Yamabuki-sensei, right? You're unexpectedly young, hello, I'm Machida Enko, editor-in-chief of Fantastic Bunko"

There was already a woman in black business attire sitting there in the reception room. When she saw Igarashi coming in, she stood up politely. Of course, a rookie writer was not qualified to receive such courtesy from the editor-in-chief of the library, even a potential writer. , Even a rookie writer who has turned potential into strength, courtesy of Machida Yuanko, is personal cultivation.

Igarashi originally thought that the editor-in-chief of the library named Machida Enko should be a middle-aged woman, but now standing in front of him is an unexpected young lady who looks similar to Sayuri Sawamura, hurry up The neat short black hair and the implied smile on the corner of her mouth are enough to make anyone who faces her feel close, not to mention Machida Yuanko is a beautiful woman.

"My pseudonym is indeed Yamabuki, and I don't dare to be a teacher, hello."

Machida Yuanzi originally thought that the author of the light novel Sword Art Online should be someone who has a lot of experience and is about the same age as herself, maybe even a middle-aged person with some vicissitudes, but she never expected that the writing Sophisticated, the plot is full of creativity, and even Sword Art Online, with expertise in programming and physics, was actually written by the big boy in front of him who looked like he was just a high school student.

After receiving Igarashi's affirmative reply, Machida Yuanko's eyes revealed surprise. It is surprising that a high school student wrote such a work, not to mention that Igarashi is indifferent to himself as the editor-in-chief of the library. , The feeling of lightness and lightness even gave Machida Yuanko the illusion of facing a certain superior.

"To be able to write a work like Sword Art Online, Mr. Yamabuki doesn't have to be humble. Judging from Mr. Yamabuki's age, he should still have his studies completed, right? I didn't think carefully and asked Mr. Yamabuki to come here on purpose."

Although Machida Yuanko was happy to find a young genius, but he had previously learned from his personal information that he lived in Chiba. This visit to Tokyo may have disrupted the youth's life, and under academic pressure, Sword Art Online's Whether the update can meet the standard is also a question. No matter how good the quality is, the number of words is not enough to even publish.

Naturally, Igarashi didn't know what Machida Yuanko was worried about. It was really pleasant to get along with a beautiful woman who was understanding and helpful. Originally, Igarashi was still thinking about the power of the library if it was a group of arrogant guys. , In order to gain experience points, it is impossible to use fists to speak the truth. Now it seems that the various performances of Fantastic library are worthy of its status in the light novel world.

"I'm currently studying at Toyozaki Academy, and there are still a few days before school starts, so there is no inconvenience. This is the first volume of Sword Art Online. If necessary, I can bring the second volume in two days. "

After handing the printed first volume of Sword Art Online to Machida Yuanko, Igarashi thought for a while. Two days later, it will be the last day of the holiday, and the second volume will be revised by himself.

I stared at the first volume of Sword Art Online in my hand, and found that the quality was even better than the two chapters I submitted before, and Igarashi's words made Machida Yuanko startled, the second volume will be available in two days? Is this done?

Thinking of this, Machida Yuanzi couldn't help but feel fortunate. Since this young man has written two volumes, it is naturally impossible to be bound to a library. If the editor hadn't reported it in time, this excellent work might have been snatched away by competitors.

Although the three major libraries belong to the Undead Chuan Bookstore, the competition among them is fierce, and the Undead Chuan Bookstore is secretly fueling the flames. Cruel competition can maintain the vitality and quality of the library, and an environment that is too comfortable is not suitable for development, and Sword Art Online, In the eyes of Machida Yuanko, it is the capital that Fantastic Library will win in the competition for a period of time in the future.

"I didn't expect that Mr. Yamabuki has completed the first and second volumes of Sword Art Online, so the library will also complete the publication work as soon as possible. This is a contract. Mr. Yamabuki will take a closer look and choose a signature that suits your heart. Of course, if you have any doubts or requests, please can be brought up."

Looking at the contract handed over by Machida Yuanko, the above manuscript fee is 10% of the future publication sales. A normal light novel is a few hundred yen, and it can be slightly higher for excellent ones. That is to say, for every sale in the future One volume, Igarashi can earn tens of yen in income, and a volume of popular novels can generally reach tens of thousands of sales, which means that Igarashi can earn hundreds of thousands of yen soon.

Chapter 102 The influence of the prototype of the law

But a long time ago, money had already lost its place in Igarashi's heart, and now what he valued was only lifespan and experience points, and this light novel was the means to gain experience points.

The contract has clearly stated that the library will be promoted in a way that matches the quality of light novels, and it is clearly stated that Sword Art Online will receive strong publicity from the library. signed the contract directly.

"My real name is Igarashi, the editor-in-chief should stop calling me teacher, ahem, I'm not used to it."

Igarashi hopes that the more people watching Sword Art Online, the better. In this world, the amount of experience gained is determined by the number of people. Maybe other people will struggle with future earnings, the copyright issue of the novel, and the library for a while, but For Igarashi, as long as the publicity is in place, Igarashi cannot force others to pay for it, and it is impossible to reach the standard of conquest spirit.

"Okay, Igarashi-san, is it okay to call you that?"

When Machida Yuanzi heard Igarashi's words, she remembered that the author was only a student, and it might be a little unaccustomed to be called a teacher suddenly. After thinking for a while, she simply called it a classmate. Keep it.

"Bunko will do a good job of publicity with the greatest efforts. With the quality of Sword Art Online and the power of our Fantastic library, sales will be guaranteed."

I noticed that Igarashi's eyes stayed on the page about the promotion for the longest time. Although I was a little surprised that the boy didn't seem to care about the performance of the reward, Machida Yuanzi didn't ask much, maybe Igarashi-san didn't. Realizing the reward he will get in the future, as the editor-in-chief of the library, naturally he will not do anything on the contract, Machida Yuanko, who is worthy of his heart, showed off to Igarashi-classmates under unknown influence.

Originally, before the novel was published, the editor of the library also needed to have an in-depth communication with the author of the light novel, to understand the outline of the novel, its future development, and to propose some revisions to the author based on professional experience. However, with Machida Yuanzi as the editor-in-chief of the library From the point of view, Sword Art Online does not have any shortcomings. The only shortcoming is probably that many settings are not clearly explained, but the content of the first volume just read almost completes this shortcoming.

It would be nice if every light novel author was as easy as Igarashi, Machida Yuanzi sighed inwardly, the works were excellent, and the contract signing was neat and tidy, and the author's appearance and temperament were just like the works, and they got along with each other. It was quite harmonious. After a while, Machida Yuanzi shook his head amusingly. This time, he found a future star with good luck, but made himself even more greedy.

Machida Yuanko looked at Igarashi with admiration, remembering that it was just lunch time. Igarashi came to Tokyo from Chiba City, and she should be hungry. The editor has no obligation to take care of the author, let alone the editor-in-chief. , but Machida Yuanzi asked at this time.

"Igarashi-san hasn't had lunch yet? Why don't you try Bunko's working lunch here?"

Without waiting for Igarashi to respond, Machida Yuanko greeted the receptionist standing outside the reception room and motioned him to prepare two working meals and bring them to the reception room.

I looked at the environment of the reception room. Although there are large conference tables and comfortable chairs, there is no doubt that this is not a place to eat, and the smell of food will remain in the closed room. The reception room is the most common place for outsiders to stay. Local, Fantastic Bunko has a big business, but it won't be casual in this regard, right?

Noticing Igarashi's movements, he understood Igarashi's doubts after a moment's thought. Machida Yuanko changed his previous serious look, not only showing a clear smile, but also sticking out his tongue slightly to be cute.

"It's time for a break now. I didn't have a meal myself. This time I just found an excuse to stop queuing. Igarashi-san won't refuse, right?"

"Of course not, I happen to be a little hungry too, thank you editor-in-chief."

Igarashi would not think that a library editor-in-chief would queue up with ordinary employees to grab a meal. It is not a matter of identity gap, but an editor-in-chief's time. You can't waste too much on this kind of thing. The current performance of Machida Yuanzi is probably It is a way to bring the distance between the two of them. A beautiful lady has already done this. Naturally, Igarashi will not be so slow to say no to refuse. In return, she said that her body, which has reached a non-human level, feels hungry at this moment.

If you are an ordinary rookie writer, not to mention having dinner with the editor-in-chief of the library to which the work belongs, just face-to-face with the editor is enough to make them nervous and lose their normal state, but Igarashi is someone who has been bathed in bullets and is very indifferent. While eating, I would chat with the beauty editor-in-chief from time to time.

"It seems that Igarashi-san is also a famous person in the school. I was thinking at the beginning that when I wrote a work like Sword Art Online, Mr. Yamabuki must be an excellent person. Now it seems that it is right."

Machida Yuanko made no secret of his praise for Igarashi, and his words were no longer professional, but full of personal emotions.

"Igarashi-san don't keep calling the editor-in-chief, just call me Machida."

Looking at one of his immediate superiors who was full of energy in his words and deeds at this time, Igarashi was a little powerless to complain. Although he didn't care about the so-called identity, Machida Yuanko, as the editor-in-chief of the library, was so indifferent to a rookie writer and high school student. Is no shelf really good? Although Igarashi didn't hate it, I enjoyed it.

No, is this the influence of the prototype of the law? Thinking of Sayuri Sawamura, who had been constantly interacting with him, but who acted like a close friend for many years, and Yuanko Machida, who was now almost unrestrained in front of him, Igarashi found that the one who was almost forgotten by him was called the supremacy of strength. The prototype of the law seems to be in play all the time.

When you have no hostility and disgust towards a person, the prototype of the law will allow others to show obvious goodwill and a sense of identity to yourself, then if you are disgusted, hostile, or even take action against a person, that person is in the law. What will happen under the influence of the prototype? Although his mind was changing, Igarashi had a calm expression on his face, and nodded at Machida Yuanko.

"Okay, Miss Machida."

Chapter 103 Anytime

Although it was quite pleasant to get along with Machida Yuanzi, but as the editor-in-chief, Machida Yuanzi naturally had her job, and after lunch, Igarashi said goodbye and left.

The bustling level of Tokyo has crushed Chiba City. If other people are new to the city, they will be shocked by the high-rise buildings and busy streets, but Igarashi is not the first time to come to Tokyo. I have had such an experience in the last world, and even more What's more, those magnificent buildings are just a blow to Igarashi, and it is difficult to generate any awe and yearning.

Igarashi, who had no nostalgia, returned to his home in Chiba City. He wanted to continue his boring life of coding. After a while, he simply looked at the official website of the Fantastic library. Now that the contribution library has been determined, even the contract has been signed. After signing it, naturally, you need to know a little about the relevant information, so as not to be asked by Ying Lili when you get it, you will not know anything.

In addition to the various introductions of one of the three major libraries of the Undead Chuan Bookstore, Igarashi also saw the promotion of some popular novels. The love metronome is on the list, with high school girl writers and love stories as its selling points. It seems that there should be some Less praise.

And the biggest promotional image in the center of the website turned out to be an illustration of Sword Art Online that Yingri helped draw based on the character settings already given by Igarashi yesterday. Igarashi uploaded this image by the way when he submitted it online , and the library, with a slight modification, used it as the cover of the first volume of Sword Art Online for pre-publication promotion.

This is very efficient. Although I know that Miss Machida is the editor-in-chief, she should have excellent execution ability, but Igarashi did not expect that in just a few hours, the library workers have already handled the copywriting, publicity, web design, etc. Work, great.

I asked Eri before if she would like to serve as an illustrator for Sword Art Online. As a teacher Eri Kashiwagi who is quite famous in the otaku world, Eri is naturally competent enough for this position, and even Bunko may not be able to find someone better than her. People, and Ying Riri's arrogant face made Igarashi unable to determine whether her thoughts were out of the psychology of helping, or whether she was really willing to accept this responsibility.

"Have you rested? Regarding the Sword Art Online illustrations, I want to confirm again."

Although it has been a long time since I sent Eiri home in the morning, the girl should have enough rest, but just in case, Igarashi did not call directly, but sent a message to Eiri, and the phone rang after a while. sounded.

"Didn't you agree yesterday? I also drew illustrations for you to see. Why do you have to confirm again? Are you trying to change your mind? Do you think I'm not worthy of being an illustrator of Sword Art Online?"

As soon as the phone was connected, Eri Ry's angry voice came from it, and listening to the somber tone, Igarashi knew that the girl had rested.
