"In a few days, around the 10th, I will arrange for Kappa to leave Tswold City, and then I will take you to the city," Linn said.
As long as everything goes well, No. 10 will be the first day he becomes a [Transcendent].
According to Lena's disclosure, different levels of cleaning personnel will have different lengths of rest periods.
The latest [Superman] mission is on the 11th.
After Lin En completes the mission on the night of the 9th, he will be postponed to the 18th to participate in the first round of the [Transcendent] mission, so he will have up to nine days of rest.
He could make full use of these nine days to arrange for Matt to study and then choose and purchase a suitable mansion.
"No. 10... OK." Matt had no objection.
"Now that the curfew has been lifted, there should be no people on all the main roads, right? As long as conditions permit, I can walk by myself." Capa didn't want to trouble Linn any more, in case of danger, it would drag down others.
"It's better to wait for my news." Linn didn't let Capa show off his strength.
Matt followed: "My brother knows a friend who is a sheriff, and he can get first-hand information from there. It would be a good idea to follow my brother's arrangements."
"...Okay." Capa agreed.
Lynn remained silent and did not reveal the news of Arthur's death.
He has given Matt enough impact during this period, and some things can only be done slowly.
After dinner, because of the heavy workload, Matt went out again without resting for ten minutes and rushed to the warehouse to move goods.
Linn also had a lot of things to do, so he didn't stay at the old house too long and rushed to the Tsward Daily News in a carriage.
In just half a day, he solved the trouble with Reiner, understood the progress of the Sheriff's Department, settled Matt, and Capa's follow-up matters. As long as he could find Editor Fan Lun this afternoon, he could reach an agreement on the remuneration again.
, in the next three days we can concentrate on preparing for the next mission.
After all, that is the most difficult task during [The Awakener].
Lin En does not belittle herself, but she also does not dare to take it lightly.
By the time he arrived at the newspaper office, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon, and the newspaper office was bustling with activity.
"Hello, where is Editor Fan Lun?"
"Who are you?" asked a staff member who was stopped by Lin, pushing up his glasses.
"My name is Lin En, and I am the author of Sherlock Holmes." Lin En announced his identity.
The staff member's eyes widened with surprise: "Are you Lynn? Your story is very exciting. I am a fan of your book!"
As I walked up, I bumped into a reader.
It seems that "Sherlock Holmes" is doing really well.
Lin En thanked him politely and returned to the topic: "Thank you, is Editor Fan Lun here?"
"Ah, he's here. I'll take you there." The staff enthusiastically led Linn into the newspaper office and headed to Fan Lun's office. "By the way, when will your next story be finished? The plot is stuck there.
People feel uncomfortable.”
"It should be soon." Lin En dealt with it casually.
He didn't have time to write "Sherlock Holmes" in a short time, especially since Fan Lun deducted a quarter of his royalties without even saying hello to him.
"It's really wonderful. I like the reasoning you set up. Where do you usually get your inspiration from?" On the short journey to Fan Lun's office, the staff kept asking about things.
"Eat more, sleep more, and inspiration will come naturally." Where did Linn get his inspiration from? This is what he copied. "This is it, right?"
"Yes, then you should get down to business first. If there is a chance, I will treat you to dinner and have a good chat about this novel." The staff member is obviously a loyal reader and has many reading feelings that he wants to share with Lin En, but considering that
Lin En wanted to find Fan Lun, but he didn't force her to do anything.
"Okay, let's talk about it when we have time." Linn knocked on the door of Fan Lun's office.
"Please come in."
Fan Lun's voice came from inside.
Lin En nodded to the staff, opened the door and walked in.
"Lin? Why are you here?" Fan Lun looked deeply surprised when he saw that it was Lin ** who was looking for him, "Come on, sit down."
"No need to be polite, you can't help but know the reason why I came here." Lin En strode to the desk and sat opposite Fan Lun.
Fan Lun was very tactful, and first politely poured a glass of water for Linn: "If you say that, I should know the reason. You want to talk to me about why the royalties have dropped, right?"
"Obviously." Lin En ignored the glass of water and looked directly at Fan Lun calmly.
"Listen to me slowly about this matter." Fan Lun adjusted his sitting position, "First of all, I definitely admire you. I think that besides you, I am the most optimistic about Sherlock Holmes in the world.
It is a collection of this series of novels. However, it may be that the content published is too little, and the rhythm of the plot and the conception of reasoning are still lacking, so the current response is not very good, and readers are not buying..."
This rhetoric was completely within Lynn's expectation.
"In addition, the competition is very strong, and the newspaper receives a lot of high-quality submissions every day, so the above are actually considering withdrawing the Sherlock Holmes collection and serializing other novels." Fan Lun began to gild himself, "However,
As I said at the beginning, I am very optimistic about Sherlock Holmes, so I have tried my best to get the approval of the superiors in the past few days to continue to feature your novels in the novel section of the newspaper. But... in order to serve the public and get the royalties.
Lower it a little. I think you can understand, and I believe that when its value is truly revealed, your royalties will still increase."
On the surface, the results are unsatisfactory.
In fact, knowing that Lin En had no background and that the risk of exploiting him was very low, he became greedy and wanted to take more out of it.
Lin En simply followed Fan Lun's words and gave his own solution: "So that's the case, then it seems that Sherlock Holmes is indeed not a good work... Let's forget it and won't write this story in the future."
"Didn't I say that I am very optimistic about it, and this is your own work. You should know better than me whether it is good or bad." Fan Lun just wanted Lin En to give up the price increase, but he never thought about it.
Let such a good series of novels come to an end, "As long as we persist for a few more months and let it become famous, I can guarantee that your royalties will definitely be increased by then."
Rise back?
Based on the commercial value of "Sherlock Holmes", if it ferments for a few more months, it won't be a problem for it to become a famous novel sweeping the country. By then, let alone one thousand words worth ten gold, there will be people rushing to cooperate with it even if it is worth ten gold for a thousand words.
What's more, Lin En just wanted to rely on this series of novels to accumulate readers and lay a good foundation for starting a newspaper in the future.
Before that, he would be serialized in the Tswold Daily News for at least another month.
"I think I'd better forget it. The current remuneration at this price gives me no hope. Maybe doing other jobs is more suitable for me." Lin En pretended to be lonely, sighed, and stood up to leave.
