I really didn’t want to be a warm man when I was reborn

Another thing is traditional Chinese publishing.

Just two days after "Martial Arts Boundless" was put on the shelves, a person who claimed to be the editor of Tai Island Wenchang Publishing House sent a message on the (Qidian) site and found Li Zhe, saying that he wanted to talk to him about the traditional version of "Martial Arts Boundless". Publication Matters.

Li Zhe chatted with the editor on QQ, and the conditions given by the other party were that each episode had a manuscript of 65,000 words and a remuneration of 6,500 yuan. In addition, for 18 months after the work was put on the market, Party A was not allowed to use the original text in any other way. If the pen name in the contract publishes other works to any third party, otherwise Party B may request Party A for punitive liquidated damages of NT$1 million.

Upon hearing this condition, Li Zhe immediately ignored him. The other party completely fooled him into thinking he was a newcomer who didn't know anything.

Sixty-five thousand words, 6,500 yuan, on average 1,000 words, 100 yuan, this price is quite good for newcomers.

Generally speaking, the traditional publishing fee for a new writer is between 30 and 80 per thousand words.

The problem is that Li Zhe is not an ordinary newcomer. His book "Martial Arts Without Limits" is ranked one or two in the new book list and the competition with a great author is fierce.

He became famous in one fell swoop and had already proven his strength at the starting point.

And for a year and a half, he was not allowed to publish his works in other publishing houses in Taiwan under the pseudonym Zimu, which is equivalent to Li Zhe being tied to this Wenchang Publishing House for a year and a half, and it was free of charge. That kind of thing.

Li Zhe checked on the Internet and found that Wenchang Publishing House was a third-rate small publishing house in Taiwan.

By offering such conditions, it was obvious that he was bullying him as a newcomer and wanted to trick him into signing him and exploit him for a period of time.

A few days later, another Taiwanese publishing house contacted Li Zhe.

This time I came to a relatively well-known publishing house in Taiwan, Xinchang, and the editor was named Salmon.

The condition given is 10,000 yuan per episode.

Ten thousand yuan per episode is 153.8 yuan per thousand words, which is a reasonable price.

However, the other party also put forward a condition, that is, Li Zhe must make certain changes to the content of the work, write enough tricks and twists to attract readers in these 60,000 to 70,000 words, and leave enough at the end of each volume. Suspense to entice readers to buy or rent the next volume.

But Li Zhe had no time to revise the manuscript. If he had the time and energy, he would negotiate sales shares with big publishing houses like Xian.com and Shuofu.

The reply he gave was that if there were typos and punctuation errors in the novel, please ask the other editor to help correct them, but the content could not be changed. If you agree, you will sign the contract. If you disagree, forget it.

After thinking about it, the editor Salmon agreed, but he also put forward an additional condition. If the sales of the novel are not satisfactory, the publisher has the right to cut the novel in half at any time.

Li Zhe also agreed.

Li Zhe downloaded and printed the electronic version of the contract, signed his pen name and real name, and then mailed it to the headquarters of Xinchang Publishing House in Taiwan.

According to editor Salmon, the publisher will deposit the manuscript fee for the first episode, and the fee will be paid starting from the second episode.

After receiving the contract, we will arrange the publishing of "Martial Arts Without Limits" as soon as possible. Before each episode is released, three sample books will be sent to Li Zhe.

The novel can be published, even in traditional Chinese version, on a small scale in Taiwan Province, but it can be regarded as fulfilling Li Zhe's publishing dream. After all, in the eyes of many ordinary people, only authors who have published physical books are considered writers. Writing a book online is not accepted.

Starting from November 15th, Li Zhe would call Xiao Qiao to the football field every night and urge her to exercise.

Because of the physical test on the 26th at the end of the month, one of them is long-distance running, 1000 meters for boys and 800 meters for girls.

The required score for girls is 4 minutes and 34 seconds for freshman.

With Xiao Qiao's physical fitness, she would definitely fail if she was not allowed to do some surprise training before the exam.

Moreover, not only the 800-meter event, but also the 50-meter run and the standing long jump, she was very good at it.

"Husband, how long have I been running this lap?" After running around the football field, Xiao Qiao was already so tired that she was dripping with sweat. She held her knees and gasped for air.

This football field is very big, one circle is exactly 800 meters.

Li Zhe glanced at the stopwatch in his hand, "4 minutes and 34 seconds."

When Xiao Qiao heard this, he immediately showed a surprised expression, "Great, I passed the exam, so I don't need to practice anymore!"

Li Zhe sighed, "Qiao Bao, you passed the test. The problem is that I was the one who pulled you to run just now. But when the physical test comes, I can't pull you to run in front of the invigilator, right?"

He unscrewed a bottle of water and handed it to her. Take a sip of water, rest for fifteen minutes, and then run another lap by yourself.

"Ah, you still want to run?" When Xiao Qiao heard that he wanted to run one more lap, his expression turned bitter. He hugged Li Zhe's arm and said coquettishly: "Hubby, don't run anymore today. I'm so tired. I can’t run anymore, okay? Um... okay, please, husband!”

Li Zhe glanced at Xiao Qiao, who was acting coquettishly and pretending to be pitiful, and thought, "It would be great if the president could take some of her... energy and use it for training."

"Okay, I won't run away today!" He really couldn't do anything to her.

"Yeah! That's great." Seeing that his goal was achieved, Xiao Qiao immediately stopped pretending and started to smile.

"But I have to run one more lap tomorrow."

"no problem!"

Seeing that the president agreed so happily, Li Zhe guessed that she was definitely planning to cheat again tomorrow.

"Let's go, I'll take you to the car to have a rest." Li Zhe hugged Xiao Qiao's small waist. Although she was covered in sweat, he didn't dislike her.

Xiao Qiao looked at him with a smile, his expression full of suspicion, "Why do you want to rest in the car?"

"There is air conditioning in the car, so it's cool!" Since the president was unwilling to run and exercise, Li Zhe could only find another way to force her to exercise.

The next day, it was around 7pm.

Li Zhe waited on the football field for more than 10 minutes but did not see Xiao Qiao coming, so he had to call her.

"Qiao Bao, what are you doing? Why don't you come?"

"Husband, are you still waiting?" Xiao Qiao's voice revealed a sense of pride.

Li Zhe immediately guessed something, "Why, you won't tell me that you won't come, will you?"

Xiao Qiao chuckled softly on the other end of the phone, "Yes, you guessed it right! I just won't go, I won't practice anymore! If you have the ability, come to the girls' dormitory to catch me, otherwise you will be alone there Then practice!”

"You're not afraid if you fail the physical test?"

"If you fail, you will fail. I admit it! Don't even think about bullying me in the next few days. You can figure it out by yourself!" In the dormitory, Xiao Qiao hung up the phone and couldn't help but think again. Laughed out loud.

Bai Wei took a cup to fill the water dispenser and glanced at her, "Li Zhe, are you here to exercise again?"

"Yeah, but I won't practice anymore, let him practice by himself!" Xiao Qiao said with a smile.

She had been bullied badly by Li Zhe these days. Not only did she have to be urged to run by him, but she was also bullied by him again in the car after running. It was called: healthy aerobic exercise.
