Levi really regrets it. He would have changed his pen name to a more normal one if he had known it. But the pen name is like throwing away water. He will not be able to change his pen name until "His Majesty the Demon King" is finished.

"Okay, Li Wei-kun." Machida Enzi smiled.

After the two chatted for a few words, Levi hung up the phone. This light novel could hone his writing skills and increase his legal income, killing two birds with one stone. After returning to the real world, Levi plans to submit this work again and make money twice for one work. .

Chapter 80. Kato Megumi’s hard work

The floor-to-ceiling window was opened, and Kasumigaoka Shiyu, who was wearing a loose T-shirt, held a cup of Coke in his hand and asked curiously: "Is this the family's phone number?" Levi turned around and smiled: "It's from Sister Yuanzi. Called me to tell me the first-day sales of the new book." "Oh? How are the sales?" Kasumigaoka Shiyu's eyes were full of curiosity.

There is absolutely nothing to say about the intensity of publicity for Levi's new book. Not only is the library vigorously promoting it, but Levi himself is also posting concept drawings on various light novel forums. At the same time, some details of the novel have been officially revealed, using huge and meticulous words. The world view has attracted the attention of a large number of experienced readers.

It can be said that through the early publicity work, Levi's side has gained an advantage far beyond other peers.

"140,000 copies on the first day." Li Wei said calmly.

Kasumigaoka Shiyu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "I'm really envious. The sales volume on the first day alone has almost caught up with my best single-volume total sales." Kasumigaoka Shiyu handed the Coke to Li Wei , the weather is still relatively hot now, so the refrigerator in the apartment is always prepared with various drinks and soda.

"Thank you." Levi took the coke and drank it in one gulp.

Now he is in a cohabitation relationship with Kasumigaoka Shiu and Kato Megumi. Originally Eiri wanted to live here, but her upbringing is relatively strict and her parents have a lot of control over her. She is not even allowed to spend the night outside. Don't say you won't go home for a long time.

Megumi Kato moved over directly after saying hello to her family because she had a serious lack of sense of existence. Her parents didn't even ask a question.

As for Kasumigaoka Shi933 Yu, she has lived independently outside for a long time. After becoming a light novel writer, she achieved financial independence and no longer stayed at home.

Kasumigaoka Shiyu said: "The results of the first volume have just come out, and I have already started writing the second volume. My dear, in terms of writing speed, you have reached the forefront of the entire industry. I don't recommend that you write too fast. Release the second volume." Levi nodded and said, "Are you afraid that your popularity will not be fully developed, or are you afraid of offending your peers?"

"It's a little bit, but the main thing is that I'm afraid of offending my colleagues. After all, my dear, if you publish books at full speed, two volumes a month, most authors in the entire industry will be forced to enter in-house volumes, and then you won't offend one or two people. It's so simple." Kasumigaoka Shiyu said.

Li Wei smiled. Kasumigaoka Shiyu's words reminded him of domestic online novels. In the beginning, the update speed of online novels was actually not fast. Two thousand words a day was already the limit for many authors, and from time to time I will also try to catch fish and delay updates.

However, due to the diligence of a certain big boss, the entire Internet literature circle was plunged into a frenzy of updating, causing Internet writers to also start a crazy involution, competing for update speed, wave after wave, and this also led to many tragedies. , in the past few years, many Internet writers died suddenly because they were immersed in typing day and night, and eventually their bodies collapsed.

In comparison, the update pressure for Neon's light novels is incredibly low compared to online novels.

In China, a qualified online writer must at least ensure that he updates 5,000 words a day. As for more, the more the merrier. Anyway, readers are eager for the author to update 10,000 words a day, and he will write 20,000 to 30,000 words every three or five. Explosive update, but if you play like this, the author will easily die suddenly.

As for the light novel writers here in Neon, the update speed is not very fast. On average, it is only one volume every two months. A volume contains about 100,000 words. On average, the daily update pressure is less than 1,700 words in 60 days. This is a treatment that Internet writers would envy.

"For this book, the new volume will be released a little faster than other works, but not too much faster. I have a sense of propriety." Li Wei and Kasumigaoka Shiyu walked into the house. The weather is still relatively hot at night. It should be said that the heat island effect here in Tokyo is very serious, making it difficult for the high temperature to completely dissipate even at night. High-rise apartments are the hardest hit areas by the heat island effect.

"Is Hui still coding?" Li Wei asked.

"She has been working very hard these past two days, but there is no need for her to be like this." Kasumigaoka Shiyu said.

"Maybe it's because you and Eiri, Shiyu, put pressure on her. After all, one of you is a light novel writer and the other is a top student at Tokyo Metropolitan University of Arts with a bright future. Compared to your 'excellence', she seems a little It's ordinary." Levi said.

It is not a bad thing that Kato Megumi will work hard as he is now. As long as it is not excessive and does not harm his body, this kind of effort is benign.

"I have never looked down on her because of this. She is unique and does not need to be compared with anyone." Kasumigaoka Shiyu sighed.

"Hui is just competing with herself. After she vents her energy in the past two days, she will return to her usual schedule." Levi said.

Megumi Kato knew that his current level was not suitable for submitting directly to the library, so he followed Levi's suggestion and published his works online first.

However, even when publishing works online, Kato Megumi has an advantage that other creators do not have, that is, there are two painters behind him, one is the first echelon in the industry (cgch), and the other is the top existence in the industry. Two With the big boss "supporting" her, her works are inherently more attractive than those of other creators.

Megumi Kato's work has only written 30,000 words so far. Levi and Eiri have already made a full set of character and scene concept drawings for her work, as well as supporting top-notch illustrations. The average is 10,000 words per piece. This kind of whole process The treatment with pictures is enough to make other authors on the website jealous.

Relying on Levi and Eiri's full illustrations, as well as the excellent quality of Kato Megumi's works, her works are now beginning to stand out on the "Become a Light Novelist" website.

Less than half a volume, with only 30,000 words at the beginning, it has already received 800,000 hits. As long as this exaggerated achievement can be maintained, it is not impossible to materialize it.

After entering the house, Levi closed the glass door of the floor-to-ceiling window and returned to his computer desk, ready to continue typing.

It has to be said that Kato Megumi also has a certain talent in writing. Although he is not as good as a weirdo like Kasumigaoka Shiu, he is still much better than ordinary people.

With his guidance, the progress was very rapid. When Levi started writing online articles by himself, he went through a lot of detours. Kato Megumi was undoubtedly lucky. With guides like him and Kasumigaoka Shiu, there was no need to try and make mistakes by himself. From the beginning It avoids all kinds of pitfalls, so her words can attract so many readers.

Levi read the comments in the book review section of Megumi Kato's works, and found that someone was using a trumpet to play the rhythm to cause trouble. He used his hacking skills to trace the source, and finally found out who was playing the rhythm.

The people who lead the rhythm are themselves writers on the "Become a Light Novelist" website. These people are not willing to let newcomers like Kato Megumi climb over their heads, so they hug together to keep warm and open a small account in the book review area of ​​Kato Megumi's works. make trouble.

Li Wei could only sigh. He didn't expect that the light novel circle would also have all kinds of weird situations in the Internet literary circle. Li Wei had naturally never enjoyed such treatment, but a certain author who entered the industry at the same time as him was People used this method to lose their mentality, started to quarrel with others in the book review section, and finally ended the book sadly.

In Li Wei's opinion, the author who was cheated on was actually very talented, but the problem was that he was so talented that he aroused the jealousy of his peers, and was eventually attacked by a group of peers. After being made infamous, he had no choice but to Don’t quit the online literary circle. (Real person and true story)

Levi would naturally not tolerate such a thing happening to Megumi Kato. Megumi Kato was his wife, so a group of envious people dared to violate his taboo. They were simply seeking death.

Levi didn't follow the network cable to kill anyone, but his method was not much different. After he collected a large amount of evidence from those people, he directly disclosed the evidence and the true identities of these people, forcing these rhythmic people to withdraw from the circle and shut down their writings. After their true identity information and what they had done were revealed, all these light novel authors who set the pace in the book review section died socially. These people will never want to step into the ranks of light novel writers again in the future. The Internet Although they have no memory, the otakus have very good memories.

Levi's actions are more unacceptable to these troublemakers who are interested in developing in the light novel industry than killing them.

Li Wei is such a person who treats tooth for tooth and eye for eye. If these people provoke him, he is in a good mood, so he may not punish those people so severely.

But those who caused trouble actually attacked Kato Megumi, which touched Levi's side. He would not stop until these people learned an unforgettable lesson. .

Chapter 81. Sweet dates after the stick

After completing the daily coding task, Levi stopped what he was doing. He is a person who pays attention to the balance between work and rest. Under normal circumstances, he will not squeeze himself too much, so when it is time to have fun, he will relax For yourself, don’t think about work.

There was only Li Wei in the study. Kasumigaoka Shiu and Kato Megumi were in the big bedroom next door. The big bedroom also had a long desk, where Kasumigaoka Shiu and Kato Megumi usually coded.

"I don't want to play games at this time, so I might as well call An Yilun and see what he is going to do." Levi whispered to himself and picked up the mobile phone placed next to the computer.

An Yilun has also been pretending to be an ostrich these days, and Levi ignored him. Even in the classroom, the two of them never said a word, just like complete strangers.

Levi would not be angry because of such a thing. He gave An Yilun a few days of buffering time. Now, it is time for the other party to make a decision.

This game is about whether to do it or not. If you do it, you will continue. If you don't do it, you will pay compensation. It is as simple as that. Of course, he still hopes that An Yilun will continue to play games. After all, a steady stream of money is always more profitable than a one-time deal.

I dialed An Yilunye's number, and after waiting for a moment, the call came through.

"Hey, An Yi-kun, good evening." Levi leaned on the back of the ergonomic chair and put his legs on the desk.

"It's Li Weijun, good evening." An Yilun's voice was a little low, and the noise could be vaguely heard, a bit like a bar.

"You are now, let alone getting drunk in a bar. I don't want to wait for you to get drunk and have to come and take you home." Levi said.

"I'm not old enough to drink yet. I work in a bar as a waiter." An Yilun is not shy about such things. He is a working warrior who is used to working. He was quite passable, and after putting on a little light makeup, he looked quite handsome. It was precisely because of this foundation that he was able to become a bartender.

"An Yijun, are you still doing it? Your game." Li Wei asked straight to the point.

"Can I still play games now?" An Yilun also sounded depressed and bitter.

It's not like An Yilun has done nothing these days. Kasumigaoka Shiu and Eiri's attitude has made it clear that they won't help him. Therefore, the production cost of the game has skyrocketed, and a qualified script writer must be hired. With two painting staff, the wages of three people alone are not cheap. Add in the consumables and other expenses, which is 10 million yuan. If the cost is not controlled properly, there will be almost no money left.

Although Li Wei promised to continue to inject capital at any time, An Yilun's inner fear prevented him from spending the money lavishly.

"An Yijun, you are talented! You are just an undeveloped jade. If you give up here, will you really be willing to do so? When you get old, when you think back on this matter, you will not feel that it is the fate of your life. Are you sorry?" Levi said in a serious tone.

An Yilun is also the best tool player designated by Li Wei to increase points. He doesn't want to lose such a tool player here, so giving a sweet date at this time is very critical.

The previous sap from the three girls had dealt a huge blow to An Yilun. Now that someone had already played the role of the white-faced one, Li Wei had to play the role of the red-faced one well. Anyway, before the final showdown, Li Wei Weidu will maintain the existing personality and gradually lead An Yilun into the deepest part of the trap.

"I am very grateful to Li Weijun for your encouragement, and I also know what problems I will face after breaking the contract, but now I need time to relax, and I have to start recruiting people. I want to get it at the Winter Comic Con To produce a work, you must seize the time." An Yilun also said.

"It's good that you can cheer up. I'm glad that you can stick to your true feelings." Levi smiled. The tool man has taken care of it. As long as An Yilun continues to play games, he can continue to score points. Now with a few hundred points and ten thousand points, you can conduct two rounds of ten consecutive draws. Even if you don't draw a draw and just exchange it directly, you can still get some good things.

An Yilun also said: "Thank you for your support, but I will change the type of the work. Originally, I wanted to make a pure love-type love game that would move all players, but now I have changed my mind. I want to make an NTR-type love game that shocks all players, and allows all players to taste my pain... Ahem, enlightenment! Yes, it is enlightenment!"

An Yilun also quickly changed his words, but Levi's hearing is very good, and he did not fail to hear clearly because of the noisy environment opposite. It seems that An Yilun has been quite depressed these days, and now he has begun to distort. If I want to change the type of work, from pure love works to NTR type works, the span is really not that big.

Levi has no interest in what kind of games An Yilun plays. No matter how much he wants to take revenge on society, it has nothing to do with him.

After getting the answer he wanted, Levi hung up the phone after chatting with the other party for a few words.

Not long after hanging up the phone, just as Levi was opening the game, the phone rang again, and this time, it was Ying Lili's voice. . …. . Asking for flowers.

"Honey, answer the phone quickly!"

The voice is delicate and slightly high-pitched, with a hint of arrogance and arrogance. Just listening to this voice is enough to outline the back of a tsundere girl in the mind.

"Huh? It's really Yinglili." Levi was stunned for a moment when he saw the call notification on the phone screen.

Line connected.

"My dear, it's me calling you again, can't you take the initiative for once?" As soon as she opened her mouth, Yinglili showed her dissatisfaction.

"I just finished my work today and was about to call you. I didn't expect you to call me first. What are you doing now?" Li Wei directly turned back to the customer.

"I just took a shower. I finished drawing the manuscripts that I have been working on for a while, and I practiced the new painting style that you taught me, dear. For the first time, I feel that my talent is not enough." Ying Lili said.

At this time, Yinglili was only wrapped in a bath towel, and her hair that had not yet been dried was wrapped in a scarf. She lay casually on the bed, her legs bent, and her two little feet touched each other from time to time.

"Don't practice for too long, especially don't draw for too long at night. I'm not with you, so I can't supervise you." Levi said with a concerned tone.

"I know, but the deadline is not long. If you don't work hard at this time, you will have to delay the manuscript." Ying Lili said.

Yinglili has a book club centered on her. On average, she completes a book every month, and then asks other members of the club to print and sell it.

This club was established by her parents so that she would not have to be embarrassed to show her face. After all, a girl drawing 18-ban pornographic books is not something worth talking about in itself. Yinglili sighed and said, "I'm so bored alone. You, Sister Shiyu and Hui are together, and I'm the only one here."

"Be patient. When the time comes, I will have a showdown with my uncle and aunt, and I will come to greet you then. Just like a prince greets a princess." Levi smiled.

"You can't lie to me, keep your word!" Ying Lili's eyes were shining. If Li Wei could really do this, she would faint with joy. How romantic this kind of thing is!

The chat with Yinglili was quite enjoyable. Men and women in love always have endless things to talk about. More than half an hour passed before I knew it. Even after hanging up the phone, Levi could still think of Yinglili. The best thing about coming to Qianying is that you won't miss any good girl. scholar.

Chapter 82. Before the celebration party

After that phone call, Levi and An Yilun resumed their previous communication mode.
