Story of Longevity

The general context, or after the context is determined, what remains is some small questions about the book.

For example, should some of the overly intense content described in the text by Star Engraving be revised, such as the direction of the fourth volume, such as the specific release date, such as the deadline of the illustration, such as the unruly intention of the Toki editor to pull Zhenbai into the illustration world ...

Regarding the content, Xingke didn't want to say much, until all the members of [Hongjie Ark] were ridiculed, the question of direction had already been decided.

The subject matter changes every volume, and the world view also changes every volume. Xingke doesn't need to worry about inspiration at all. What happened around him would be a fantasy novel in itself if it were written in a diary.

So although I am very sorry to the editor of Toki, Xingke does not intend to listen to his opinions on the content.

As for his proposed addition of cute and adorable female characters?

Xingke didn't think it was necessary. The Ark of the Great Realm was already declining. Except for Uncle Britz and Suzaku, the other ones are not cute girls?

Uh, that's not right... Is Daya asexual? Gems have no gender, but so cute must be a cute girl.

By the way, it seems that there is still Xing Ke himself... he is an exception.

The reason why Toki editors proposed to add female characters may be because he discovered after reading the third volume that most of the characters in the magical alchemy country in the third volume are super handsome and stylish male characters, right?

Toki editor is worried that the future genre of the novel will be biased towards women.

However, Xingqian said that there is no need to worry about it. Except for Uncle Britz who is in contact with a group of desperate rough men because of his work as a bounty hunter, the friendship circle of other people is normal.

Cerekia already has male friends, and her girlfriends are all the confidantes of her male friends...Can you believe it?

If Serekiya was indeed red-haired, Xingke would have doubted whether he had red-green inversion.

Misaka's story, except for a certain hedgehog head, is also a cute girl and a cute biàntài.

Mo Meixiang is even more extreme. Except for the father whose head is not exposed, none of the characters are male... Are you really a son?

Therefore, after going through the characters who may appear on the stage, Xingqi can safely pack the votes to the editor, and the future will definitely greatly strengthen the appearance of the cute girl.

Regarding the problem of the description of the excessive picture, the editor of Toki said that it may involve the issue of the [Cultural Communication Review Committee], commonly known as [Over Review].

There is no big problem in the first two volumes, and there is no overly intense picture described, even if Altaïr almost destroyed the entire Tokyo area in the first volume.

After all, the famous neon monster movie did not destroy Tokyo?

The main part is the third volume. In it, Star Engraving describes the taboo technique of human body alchemy in some detail, not only cruel and bloody, but also somewhat fǎnrénlèi.

The editor of Toki said that even an uncle of his own has caused discomfort. If it is published, it is possible to classify this paragraph into areas where entry is prohibited under the age of 18.

However, the star engraved said that this is this volume, or that it is a feature of this worldview, and it is only limited to this volume.

In the future volume outline, it will also be in the world of Alice Triya, because it is to prevent the story of the marching war from the end of the world, maybe the style of painting will be darker?

Therefore, this bit of extreme description is more like a finishing touch than flaws, and Starcut insists not to change it.

As for the question of passing the trial, he will solve it himself.

On this point, Toki editors still compromised. After all, in the industry nowadays, under the label of pure love, there are not many harem works that sell meat.

People have a hard backstage, and Mr. Toki can't control it either.

………………

During the discussion, two hours passed without knowing it, the lunch time almost passed, and the coffees edited by Xing Ke and Toki were renewed two or three times.

But even if the meal is about to pass, rénliú is not rare in the maid coffee shop, but there is a feeling of faintly beginning to lively...

"Someone's teacher really doesn't think about selling..."

"Oh!!--"

Toki's editor hadn't finished a sentence. On the big table not far away, the cheers of the party guests overwhelmed his voice, and Xing Ke's attention was attracted by them.

It seems that a group of cute dolphins named the maid sister Xiaojie to play games together?

When I first came to the store, Star Carved had seen the menu. If you spend more than 100,000 yuan in groups, you can take pictures with Sister Xiaojie, play games and so on.

At first glance, it was the means of cìjī consumption, but Xingke was still a little moved at the time, but after thinking about waiting for someone, he gave up...

"...Teacher someone!"

"Ugh?!"

Toki's editor's voice called Xingke's attention back, but looking at the absent-minded Xingke, he sighed slightly:

"In this meeting, the general issues have been determined, and other trivial matters can be said on the phone.

Someone's teacher, you may be tired too, why don't we stop here today? "

"...Sorry, it's rare that there is a serious and responsible editor like Mr. Toki. I just shouldn't be distracted."

Xing Ke was really serious in apologizing, he was indeed a little rude just now.

"It's nothing, someone's teacher doesn't need to care, it's because I'm a little anxious... To be honest, just sit and talk with someone's teacher for a long time. Someone's teacher has something that is not affected by the world's currents, and is relaxed and relaxed. atmosphere."

"Are you saying that I am slow, like an old salted fish?"

"No, no... I just want to say that I work overtime seven days a week, live a fast-paced life every day, and have people who can't finish things, commonly known as [social animals]. In fact, I really envy someone who is slow and casual like a teacher. His attitude towards life... this way."

"envy?"

"Yeah, envy.

If someone’s teacher has a mentality of [there is a lot of time, don’t worry, look at the scenery on the roadside], I might not start losing my hair in my early thirties, right? "

I don't know why, anyone who is a little more sensitive can feel the strange feeling in Xingke as if time has stalled.

This kind of temperament may not be so obvious in the country old grandfather, at most it is stronger, but it is a little weird to appear in the young man in the metropolis of Star Carving...

"What are you talking about? There is no social animal like Toki Editor who is busy every day. Where can there be a salted fish like me to kill time steadily."

"...Are you comforting? Why do I always feel so hot?"

"Haha, your illusion is nothing."

In this way, Xing Ke and his own acquaintance for two years, but the editor who didn't meet until today planned to leave.

Editor Toki will go back to the company in the afternoon, and Starcut is going to check out the Skytube store again.

But just as the editor Toki, who called himself an "elder", went to make the statement, a group of people came in from outside the store--

The leader is a very tall woman, but her dress is very masculine and simple, with a large plaid shirt and jeans, old-fashioned headband, and aestheticless glasses, and blue canvas shoulders. The backpack completely conceals her feminine beauty...

In other words, apart from the fact that you can see that they are female, the others are basically really fat houses.

Behind her are the two little sisters who are completely opposite. These two are petite, but they are all models of feminine charm in their dresses, except that their [directivity] is completely different.

One is a black long straight girl in a dark gothic loli dress, and the other is an urban trendy girl with long orange-red hair.

Xingke actually saw these three girls who weren't all the same, standing together, and they seemed to be in a group?

This really surprised Xingqi, which is rare.

But if it's just a passerby who is passing by, Xingke will just look at it. The reason why Xingke started to pay attention to them is the child in the gothic dress.

After seeing Xing Ke's gaze, she suddenly left the team and came to this side.

Xingke is sure that her goal is here, but Xingke said that she has never seen this child, so some other options with a lower probability are excluded, that is to say...

"Is it because of my hue, come and strike up a conversation?

Haha, just kidding...

Mr. Toki? "

After making a mockery of himself, Xingke patted the Toki editor who was making the statement and reminded:

"Look, did that kid come to find you? Is your daughter?"

Editor Toki then turned around and moved his gaze to the direction of Star Engraved.

"How could I have a daughter? I haven't gotten married yet...five watch xiaojie?"

Editor Toki spit out a name after seeing the person coming. It seems that Gothic Lori is indeed someone he knows.

The Gothic Lolita girl said hello very politely after standing in front of Toki editor:

"Good afternoon, Mr. Toki, passing by here occasionally and seeing you."

"Good afternoon, five watch xiaojie, I happened to have an interview with the writer and teacher here, and it just ended, will five watch xiaojie be here too?"

"...I came with an acquaintance."

Wugeng turned his head and pointed to the two girls who were waiting not far away.

"It's an offline party in the chat room."

"Is that so...Then please take your time in the fifth shift, I still have work in the afternoon..."

"Please wait……"

The fifth watch was set up by some people who couldn't stand the deserted people, and hurriedly called Toki Editor:

"Excuse me, my last submission..."

"Five watch xiaojie, I think the results of the submission have been returned in the form of email."

Toki editor's face haggard from work showed a distressed expression:

"To be honest, I have read a lot of xiaojie's manuscripts since a year ago, but the results are not always the same every time?

I have said everything that I can say, interesting books can be published, and the editorial department will not miss any potential works and authors.

But you have to know that what is interesting here is to make readers feel interesting. Only when readers feel interesting can books have publishing value.

That’s all, please learn from the wisdom of the predecessors and continue to work hard to modify your work. I will still review your work seriously and responsibly.

...That's it, it's rude. "

After Toki's editor solemnly left these words, he gestured a look at Xingqi, and took the lead and walked out of the cafe.

It's like avoiding something, regardless of the girl's feelings of loss because of her own words.

When Xingke walked to the door, he glanced back, only that he was not focusing on the girl in the Gothic loli dress who failed to submit the manuscript, but the tall girl with big glasses...?

I always felt that the child had his eyes on him from the very beginning, and I didn't know if it was the illusion caused by the glasses, or he really fell in love with his hue.

………………

After some distance from the cafe, editor Toki breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled bitterly at Xingke:

"Sorry, I made you laugh."

"No matter where, Mr. Toki must have difficulties in his work.

Is that child named Wugeng your alternate author? "

Candidates for authors are those who have not been successful in submitting articles but have the potential to go further.

For people like this, every editor will have several. From time to time, I will read their manuscripts, and if they write well, they will lead them to the path of a writer.

"Yes, since a year ago, she has submitted papers to our newcomer call for papers, and it is still selected.

I was in charge at the time. "

But Toki editor's expression is not very optimistic:

"But her strength is also there. Being selected is already the limit. It is almost impossible to enter the top 16 and top eight.

So the final failure is certain. "

Xingke knows about the so-called rookie contest. In addition to the pure rookies that have not been published, there are also some old fritters that are completely unknown after publication.

About the top four can get publishing opportunities depending on the situation, no matter who it is. So this game can be said to be a good opportunity, but it is also a cruel battlefield.

"After losing the election, I saw that she was only about the age of a junior high school student and she was very malleable, so I exchanged email addresses with her and encouraged her to continue to write new works for me."

Toki gave the email address instead of the phone hào code, which means that he didn't actually place a heavy bet on the young girl.

This is not discrimination or underestimation, but a hidden rule of the industry. It depends entirely on strength.

"But it's been a year, she still can't get out of the narrow worldview she has shaped.

The setting is cumbersome, the main line is unclear, the wording is messy, the usage of English and French is completely wrong but it is still bluntly applied...

This situation seems to be called... Secondary 2 disease?

I wish she could come out soon. "

Xingke smiled awkwardly after hearing Toki's narration, and thinking about himself.

He wanted to tell the editor of Toki that the second disease was terminally ill, and there was no way to save it!

Look at me, my trillion-year-old patient with the second disease can pack tickets to you!

But I feel a bit sorry for that fifth watch xiaojie, so Xingke decided to shut up.

"But no matter how many times she was rejected by me, she never gave up, insisting on submitting articles once a month.

People have to admire her persistence and perseverance at a young age..."

Having said that, Toki editor suddenly stopped.

"Teacher someone!"

"in!"

I don’t know why, editor Toki screamed to Xingke very seriously, put his hands on Xingke’s shoulders, staring at his eyes, and not letting people look strange, and said:

"Teacher someone! Just like this! There are many people who have worked hard for a long time, but they still don't get a chance to publish!

But you have everything they want from the beginning!

The publishing opportunity is good too! Sophisticated writing is good too! Money is good too! Good connections! You have everything!

and so! ! If you publish a book with a playful mind like two years ago..."

I don’t know why ~www.ltnovel.com~The bloodshot in the eyes of editor Toki is a bit scary.

"I? Yes? No? Will? Forgive? You?

understand? "

"……understood."

Of course, I understand, this is a kind of fish-dead and net-break, even if I resign, I still have to brush the star carved from the publisher's quota.

Xingke can only smile bitterly now. It seems that he has taken the initiative to get on the thief ship of Mr. Toki who is using his life as an editor.

I don’t know if it’s lucky or unfortunate...
