Chapter 68: Garbage system, ruining my life!(1/2)
Hanami Akira came to the magazine where he submitted his last article.
He originally thought that the treatment for a newbie like him would be the same as last time, that is, the front desk would just put it away and say that he would hand it over.
The last time he came, the lady at the front desk said that the editor was not here and could not receive him, so she could only collect his manuscript and hand it over.
Although it was not clear whether the editor was really absent or was too lazy to receive him because he was looked down upon due to his young age, but besides this magazine, he had no other choice but to let it go.
This time it will probably be the same.
Hana Jianming sighed and thought about how to meet the editor.
After all, since the last submission failed, it is very likely that the other party will be more perfunctory this time. Regardless of the quality of the work, if it does not even have basic exposure, it is obviously impossible to have any hope of success.
However, when Hanami Ming was mentally prepared to be treated coldly, something he didn't expect happened.
The moment she saw him, the young lady at the front desk grabbed his sleeves to prevent him from leaving, and an uncle wearing glasses rushed downstairs in a hurry.
"Are you Teacher Ye Zi?! We have been waiting for you for too long!"
The uncle's face was filled with tears.
"We almost thought we were going to lose you as a future great master! Fortunately, you are finally here!"
"Uh, are you sure, it's me you're looking for?"
Hua Jianming took a step back, hesitating a little.
His pen name was chosen at random, just a word from Konoha, and it was quite popular. Could these guys have picked the wrong person?
If his work was really that good, wouldn't editors have already come to him on their knees and begged him to sign a contract?
"No, it's you, the youngest creator in history!"
The editor shook his head and dismissed the possibility of mistaken identity.
It is precisely because the contributor is so young that the front desk remembers it very clearly!
So even though he happened to be away at the time and didn't meet him in person, he still identified the person at a glance.
"Your "Return to Ancient Times to Be a Ninja" is indeed an excellent work! The idea of traveling to the past is a pioneer of a genre! You will definitely become a hit!"
"..."
Isn't it "Returning to the Warring States Period to Become a Ninja God"?
Hua Jianming was about to say that the other party had admitted his mistake, but suddenly he remembered that it was the name he had originally chosen.
Later, because the Warring States Period was too special, and because of the conflict between the "God of Ninja" and the "God of Ninja" Senju Hashirama, he casually changed his name to something similar, and it seemed that this was what he called it.
However, there is still a problem that cannot be explained.
"If that's the case, why doesn't anyone ask me to sign a contract?"
"..."
When talking about this issue, the uncle was silent for a moment and looked at Bai Jianming with an expression that was hard to explain.
"Because you didn't leave your mailing address!"
"..."
I'm most afraid of the sudden silence in the air.
Hua Jianming and his uncle looked at each other and fell into an awkward silence.
He thought about it carefully.
Didn't you stay?
After all, he is a highly intelligent person who has completed the task of increasing his IQ by 100. Would he also make such a low-level mistake?!
He seriously suspected that there was something wrong with the broken system and the rewards were not distributed.
No, this may not only be a lack of payment, but also an accidental deduction!
Garbage system, ruining my life!
Hua Jianming was stunned for a long time before suddenly remembering that this was indeed the case.
If he really wanted to say it, he shouldn't have tricked himself like this. However, because it was said that the Konoha Orphanage was built with private investment, it was built in the back of Konoha.
In other words, from a certain perspective, the orphanage where Hanami Akira is located is an illegal construction outside the planning scope. It is not a normal Konoha building or shop, so naturally there is no corresponding number.
Even though Akira Hanami doesn't understand why this building is still not included in the normal system even though he is living here with a subsidy from Konoha, maybe this is some historical issue?
In short, due to various reasons, this column was left blank at that time.
Originally, Hua Jianming wanted to leave his address to the school, but he was too embarrassed, and because he wanted to make a fortune, he was not prepared to show off.
So, in the end, he originally thought of asking Shikamaru or Ino to help receive it.
The result is the end...
Needless to say, after finishing writing, Hanami Akira completely forgot about it, submitted the article directly and left in a hurry.
What's even more helpless is that, based on some subconscious knowledge that "the editor will definitely be able to find the author", he actually keeps waiting for the editor to come to him.
However, there is no address or phone number, so where can the editor find someone? There are no penguins and prestige in the ninja world.
This is very embarrassing.
Hua Jianming felt that the subtle look in the other person's eyes just now was probably not a look that looked at someone mentally retarded.
"Ahem, I don't mean anything else. After all, you are a genius! When a genius is good at something, he is likely to have some shortcomings in life."
The editor uncle helped Hua Jianming find excuses with great emotional intelligence.
"Moreover, we also made mistakes in this aspect. Our front desk staff is new and does not know the information of the writers who need to register to submit articles."
After saying this, the uncle winked, and the lady at the front desk immediately showed a pitiful and apologetic expression.
"Sorry, Teacher Ye Zi, I am a newbie and I was negligent before."
"Ah, it doesn't matter, it's my own problem."
Hua Jianming was in a complicated mood and was completely unaware that this was the problem.
This can be considered his dark history, right?
"Then...can I sign the contract now?"
"Yes! Of course I can!"
The editor uncle spoke decisively. He glanced at the manuscript held by Hua Jianming in his arms, decisively tempted him, and gestured a number to Hua Jianming.
"We can pay you a certain amount every month as a guarantee... By the way, is that your new work?"
"Uh, yes."
Akira Hanami handed over the new work.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! To be honest, he has almost forgotten what he wrote before. He probably still remembers the outline, but he actually doesn’t remember the specific content.
Already.
People like the new and hate the old. Rather than continuing to fill holes, he is actually more willing to open new holes.
Hana Jianming thought, if possible, he would actually like to sign a new document.
While he was thinking about it, the editor uncle had already roughly looked through the outline and manuscripts of the new book. His eyes were shining, and he stared at Hua Jianming with the look of finding a treasure.
"Teacher Ye Zi, the new article is also very good! You are definitely a genius!"
"well enough."
Hearing the positive compliment from the other party, Hua Jianming felt a little at ease.
It is indeed a classic. Even if it was arbitrarily changed by a scum like him and poured a lot of water on it, it can still be recognized by others. This is very happy.
"Then the signing of Xinwen..."
"Of course, no problem! We can sign the contract right now. These two novels have their own characteristics and audiences. If they can be released at the same time, they will definitely gather a large number of fans for you quickly!"
"Ah, well, I think dual-player is a bit too stressful for newcomers..."
"What a pity. I originally wanted to say that if you can maintain such writing style and imagination in your next work, the remuneration can be increased to this figure..."
"Ahem, I think although there is a lot of pressure, as young people, you should be able to bear the pressure and accept challenges."
Hua Jianming has a straight face.
It doesn’t really matter if you have money or not, the main thing is that you love literature and challenges.
When Hua Jianming left the magazine, he received a completely different treatment. Not only was he promised to receive subsequent royalties, but more importantly, he received a sum of support funds paid by the magazine to the author.
Not only that, because he was young and an orphan, in order to provide him with a better creative environment, the first payment was not low, at least enough for him to rent a house for three months.
As for after three months, his royalties will be enough to cover his rent.
After getting the money, Hua Jianming made a decisive decision to move out of the orphanage. He had had enough of Datong's shop, and it was really inconvenient to have no private space.
Besides, the orphanage doesn't have air conditioning, but if it's a private apartment, wouldn't he be able to get an air conditioner and live the good life he had in his previous life?
The only problem is that, considering the land prices in Konoha, if you buy an air conditioner, you will only have enough money for a month, which is a bit tight!
