On the morning of March 4, the deputy editor-in-chief got Lin Shangzhou's manuscript, because the whole building belonged to the newspaper office, so the newspaper office had its own printing press, and in the afternoon the newspaper printed the finished product, and in the evening produced 30 finished books to be sold at the newspaper kiosk the next day, and at the same time, the newspaper printed in the evening also wrote that "The Story of the Nameless Man" would be sold at the designated newsstand, and they waited to see how many people would buy it the next day.

In order to have the cost of trial and error, the newspaper printed only thirty novels, which were evenly distributed among the newspaper's six newsstands.

For the deputy editor-in-chief, the morning wait was torturous, and he was eager to know how the novel was selling, after all, this was the key to the newspaper's turnaround, although the editor-in-chief was not short of money, but the newspaper had been using the editor-in-chief's money to pay his salary, and he was very unhappy as the deputy editor-in-chief.

After hours of waiting, the deputy editor-in-chief finally got the result he had hoped for most: all 30 copies of the 2-mark book were sold out, and according to the newsstand staff, there were at least thirty or forty people who came to buy the books, and the six newsstands combined had 150 people.

After learning the news, the deputy editor-in-chief immediately asked the publishing department to hurry up and print 300 novels and successively deliver them to various newsstands in the evening of the same day, and on March 6, more than 200 copies of the 300 books were sold in one day, so the publishing department continued to print, and then for three consecutive days, it was able to sell one to two hundred novels a day, and it was not until the fourth day that the rate of sales stopped and dropped to several dozens, and the publishing department also slowed down the speed of printing, and only continued printing when the newspapers and periodicals were out of stock.

On the 11th of March, the deputy editor-in-chief was in his office watching the sales reports sent by the employees, and in a total of five days, he sold about 800 novels, each priced at two marks, and after deducting the cost of printing and taxes, he made a total of 1,400 marks, of which 60 percent belonged to the newspaper according to the contract with Lin Shangzhou, that is, the newspaper could get 870 marks.

This is the first time since the establishment of the newspaper that it has made so much money, although it is not enough to pay all the employees, but it is finally possible to pay the employees without the editor-in-chief's money, and the books have been sold, and it will continue to earn income for the newspaper.

He excitedly ran out of the office with the report, and he regained some of his senses in the surprised eyes of the employees, because the employees were all looking at him, so he didn't need to quiet them, he suppressed his excitement and said to the people in the office: "Our story editor Filitz's novel "The Story of the Nameless" has sold nearly 800 copies in the past five days! 800 copies

!". As he spoke, the deputy editor-in-chief couldn't contain his excitement and burst into foul language, and the employees didn't care at all, because they all cheered, which was really unprecedented for the newspaper.

"Excluding printing costs and taxes, I earned a total of 1,400 marks!" After

saying this, the deputy editor-in-chief looked at Lin Shangzhou with a grateful face, and the employees who didn't know what was going on looked at him suspiciously or looked at Lin Shangzhou suspiciously.

"Because of the generosity of Filitz editor, 60 percent of the 1,400 marks is 870 marks owned by the newspaper!" Most

of the employees were stunned, they did not expect that Lin Shangzhou would directly give 60 percent of the income to the newspaper.

"So in order to thank the editor in charge of Filitz for his generosity, let us cheer for him three times!" the

deputy editor-in-chief shouted loudly:

"Filitz!" "Filitz!" "

Filitz

!!"

The enthusiastic and deafening cheers of his colleagues made Lin Shangzhou's head buzz, and it took him a long time after their cheers were over before he came back to his senses.

When he came back to his senses, the deputy editor-in-chief had already walked up to him and expressed his gratitude to him from the bottom of his heart.

"Fritz, I don't know how to recognize you for your contribution to the newspaper, but I'll talk to you about what to give you to show our appreciation.

"I'm going to be looking forward to what people will give me.

Lin Shangzhou smiled and accepted the deputy editor-in-chief's thanks to him, and what would be given to him next, he felt that he would not send money, and the deputy editor-in-chief would not be stupid enough to give him a bonus, so Lin Shangzhou was also looking forward to what the society gave him in recognition of his contributions.

The carnival of the employees lasted for several minutes, and people kept coming to express their gratitude to Lin Shangzhou, which made Lin Shangzhou, who was originally idle, busy.

"Ahh I'm exhausted.

Lin Shangzhou sat down on the chair, raised his head, closed his eyes, and sighed tiredly.

"Congratulations, you're selling so well, and I don't think it's going to be long before you become a famous writer.

Goebbels congratulated.

"Thank you for your congratulations.

Lin Shangzhou said weakly, he had listened to dozens or hundreds of words of congratulations and thanks, and he really didn't want to listen to them anymore.

He opened his eyes

to Goebbels and asked, "Anyway, Paul, how was the feedback on the story you wrote?"

Goebbels smiled and said, "It's a lot better than before, at least it gives me the motivation to write it."

"That's good.

Lin Shangzhou nodded slightly, which showed that Goebbels had made progress and his efforts had paid off.

After resting in the chair for a while, Lin Shangzhou started to work, he is currently working on the book "The Story of Ashes", which is based on "Dark Souls 3" and is a sequel to "The Story of the Nameless", as for whether he wants to write "Dark Souls 2", Lin Shangzhou has to think again, after all, he doesn't know much about Soul 2.

At noon, Lin Shangzhou went out to dinner with Goebbels, Monchi, Jesus, Jonathan and Eric to celebrate this good event, and after returning to the newspaper office after lunch, Lin Shangzhou also received a commendation gift he prepared for him from the deputy editor-in-chief - an Iron Cross.

Lin Shangzhou was very surprised, he didn't know where the deputy editor-in-chief of this medal for commending war exploits got it, and he repeatedly confirmed to the deputy editor-in-chief that it was bought from a veteran soldier with a difficult family for a large price, and it was completely through formal channels before Lin Shangzhou accepted the Iron Cross.

Although the money spent is certainly not as good as the money Lin Shangzhou earns for the newspaper, an Iron Cross is also precious, and it can be seen how much the deputy editor-in-chief wants to thank Lin Shangzhou.

A medal for commending a soldier who has made a meritorious service was used by the newspaper to thank him for his significant contribution to the newspaper, and anyway, they are all commending those who have made contributions, but one is a soldier and the other is an employee of the newspaper.

After receiving the medal, Lin Shangzhou got another unexpected joy, the deputy editor-in-chief decided to give him a holiday, and the holiday time was set by himself.

Lin Shangzhou happily accepted the holiday, anyway, now the story is written by Goebbels, and he can go home to conceive the novel well, so he rode his bicycle home during the afternoon work.

His plan was to take a break of four or five days and go back to work, and although he thought that he would not say anything if he really took a break for ten days and half a month, it was better not to do that.

On the way home, he passed by the photo studio and bought a photo frame for the medal, after returning home, Lin Shangzhou put the photo frame on his bedside table and stood up, this is the first medal he obtained, it is of great commemorative significance, if he can, he would like to send this medal back to his uncle, he believes that his uncle will be very happy, he can't send it back, he also wants to write a letter to tell his uncle and the people in Sanssouci Palace.

But since he came to Strasbourg, he sent two letters to Berlin, and never received a reply, so Lin Shangzhou stopped sending letters, he thought at first that the postman did not go to Sanssouci Palace, and then he thought that there was a letter to his uncle, and the postman would not be unable to go to ordinary houses, right?

He guessed that it was Klein's bastard who used his connections to stop his letter, and it was useless to send it himself, so he simply did not send it, anyway, it was for the bastard to see, it was better not to send it.

Because he was very happy today, Lin Shangzhou decided to tell Laetia about it in the evening, and then make a good dinner to celebrate it with her.

Thinking of Retia, he couldn't help but think of Noah, Alexandrin, and Cecilia, the former was the person he liked and the person he liked, and the latter was his friend, and he missed them a little.
