After the Full Level of the Profession

The old man still has a stubborn temper. After he criticized Robb's toddler last time, he didn't expect the kindergarten to be a big seller. He always felt that he had to come up with something decent, otherwise he would feel a little slapped in the face, so he eagerly wanted to publish a book of his own, so he took out a quill pen on the spot: "I will write here, After you write it, go to your printing house to print it."

Robb expressed his support with a smile, and then stood behind the elder, watching him write...

Title: "Forest Overgrown with Black Pine".

The old man was full of emotion, and wrote word by word. Robb read it carefully. Not to mention, the old man's literary level is really good. The writing is so beautiful, and every sentence can be beautiful, but... so The price of beauty is that there is no plot.

He wrote thousands of words in a snap, and he was still writing the scenery! Repeatedly depicts the beauty of the forest.

Robb: "..."

After writing 5,000 words of the scene, the old man finally let the male protagonist appear, a melancholy middle-aged elf who has lived for more than 400 years and is full of vicissitudes. The elf's perspective looks at everything around him. He has feelings for a leaf, a tree, and a bird...he is full of feelings for everything in this world.

He learned more than 10,000 words in just a few words.

Robb: "..."

The old man raised his head and said with a chuckle: "How? My book is profound! It deeply analyzes a poet's love, hatred, awe, and sentimentality for this forest."

Robb covered his face: "Old man, what about the plot?"

"What?" the old man was surprised: "Didn't you see the title of my book? "Forest Overgrown with Black Pine", this is the theme of my article. Deep feelings, what kind of plot do you need? There is no need for a plot at all.”

Robb: "..."

This is very embarrassing. Robb has a word "pu" brewing in his throat, but he doesn't know whether to say it or not. After thinking about it carefully, forget it, don’t say anything about other people’s books, even if you are telling the truth, some people can’t bear it.

The elder himself was very satisfied, and continued to write crazily for a while. Don't look at his old arms and legs, but he wrote the book really fast. He actually wrote 20,000 words by hand that day, which made Robb admire him inexplicably. It's too strong! As far as Robb knows, there is an author named Infinite Changes on a certain novel website. He is already a very hardworking guy. He can write more than 10,000 words a day at most, and he still uses a keyboard to type, not handwriting.

Elder Elf's writing speed is simply proud of the pigeons.

So, a few days later, the Elf Elder came to Robb with a thick copy of "Forest Overgrown with Black Pine": "Hey, Grand Druid, my literary work is finally finished, I'm sure it is, This is a book that everyone agrees with after reading it.”

Robb had no choice but to say a cliche: "Well, it's a good book, and it will definitely sell well."

Elder Elf said: "I'm going to go to your printing factory now and print 5,000 copies first, what do you think?"

"Five thousand?" Robb was taken aback: "Hey, old man, you'd better be steady, look at my manga, the first batch only printed 500 copies to test the waters, you this time The seal is five thousand, maybe it’s too much, if you can’t sell it, you will suffer heavy losses.”

"Look at what you said." Elder Elf said: "Didn't your manga book sell almost 8,000 copies in the end? My book has profound thoughts and is a book with a soul. No matter how you look at it, it is better than yours." Man picture book is good, since your book can sell for 8,000 copies, it’s a trivial matter for me to sell 10,000 copies, and I only printed 5,000 copies in the first batch, which is already very cautious.”

After finishing speaking, the old man turned around smartly and walked towards the printing factory. While walking, he said to the elf guard behind him: "Go and bring all the money from my family, and give it all to the printing factory to print books!"

Robb: "..."

Well, this old man is just like a newcomer writing an online novel for the first time. He doesn't pay attention to the five whites when he opens his mouth. What kind of three little potatoes are all rookies. Once I write a book, I will be invincible. For this kind of person, persuasion is ineffective, and only one song can be sent.

Robb waved his hands at the old man's back and sang, "Maybe I'll hit the south wall before turning back, maybe I'll give up after seeing the Yellow River, maybe I'll go all the way to the dark..."

The old man turned his head and wondered, "What are you singing there in Chinese? I don't understand."

Robb said, "I'm singing a song of blessing."

"So that's how it is." The old man went happily.

Robb covered his face...

A few days later, the first engraving block for printing "hard paper" was successfully made. The characters on this engraving block are very small and the lines are very thin. Because the characters are written with a quill pen, they can be printed on one page. Write down a lot of lines.

It is impossible to print this kind of characters on rice paper, because the ink on the rice paper is easy to spread. If such small characters are printed, the ink will spread to the side, and the whole character will be blurred.

However, the hard paper developed by the elf alchemist and the rabbit craftsman is different. The ink on this paper will not spread, and small characters can be printed on it without blurring. The quality is extremely high. Of course, the cost is also high. Just a little bit.

Elder Elf printed 5,000 copies of "Forest Overgrown with Black Pine" with more expensive paper. Both the paper mill and the printing house made a lot of money, and the workers were very happy.

But...

Elder Elf himself is not so happy!

His great work "A Forest Overgrown with Black Pine" suffered a tragic hit on the street. Although the whole family of elves mobilized and tried their best to help him sell it, it only sold a mere few hundred copies, and his first A total of 5,000 copies were printed in one edition, and more than 4,000 copies were backlogged at home.

This wave of blood loss wiped out the little coffin that the Elf Elder had managed to save. In the end, all he got in return was a few hello from a few nobles and literary youths, and a mountain of books at home...

What exactly went wrong?

After a deep review and crazy research, Elder Elf came to the conclusion that this year's readers are too idiots! His books can only be read by Lao Bai.

Chapter 636 Why didn't you go through the portal?

A few days later, in the evening...

Robb sat in front of the crystal ball, looking at Miss Queen on the opposite side of the crystal ball.

The queen, who is usually full of majesty, actually has a sand sculpture face today. While flipping through the book in his hand, he patted the table and laughed loudly: "This... what kind of sand sculpture is this... No, I died laughing, it's too sand sculpture... A hero who is driven by interest, the bald head will become Strong...hahaha..."

Robb: "Hi!"

As soon as he opened his mouth to protest, he saw the Queen suddenly put away her smile and changed back to a serious face: "No monster has hit you recently, so you started doing such inexplicable things? How much are you? idle?"

Robb spread his hands: "Even if the monster is hitting me, I'm still doing something inexplicable."

It is well-founded and convincing, and Miss Queen has nothing to complain about.

She took out another book from the side, which was "Forest Overgrown with Black Pine" with exquisite packaging and higher-grade paper, and gently opened it: "Actually, I like this book better, but I have also heard that, This book couldn’t be sold at all, and the Cotton family didn’t dare to buy too much. They only brought 200 copies to the Bright Road, and only 200 copies have not been sold. And your Man book is not only sold in Xifeng It's a big seller, and it's a big seller in Bright Path."

She concluded: "It seems that the Elf Elder made the same mistake as I did when I made the film."

Robb laughed: "Yo, you already know what mistakes you made in filming?"

"Get out of the crowd."

The queen stopped after saying only four words. She is not a person who likes to criticize herself in front of other people. If she was not facing Robb, she would not even bother to say these four words. As long as you know it.

Hearing that the Queen had such an understanding, Robb became happy: "Actually, Yangchun Baixue and her parents are short-sighted, both are art, and the profound and meaningful and the simple and straightforward are also art, but they are just different expressions. Competing, that's very boring. We only need to clearly know what kind of readership we are facing when creating art, and that will be fine. I respect Elder Elders who are dedicated to art , the only mistake he made was that he misunderstood the positioning and audience of his literature and art, so he printed a few more books."

The queen said: "I thought you were going to mock him, because he once mocked your children's paintings."

Robb laughed: "No, no, I won't mock him, because I also think this manga is a children's drawing."

Queen:"……"

"Before the invention of hard paper, I could only do this kind of children's paintings." Robb said, "Because I knew very well that the conditions at that time could only do this kind of thing, but now that there is hard paper, I may be able to make children's paintings Man painting, turn it into a very beautiful Man painting, would you like to send a serious artist to me and help me draw a beautiful One-Punch Man."

"I don't want it." The queen said solemnly: "My painter wants to serve me, and I plan to start publishing books."

"Hey!" Robb wondered, "You want to publish it too? Do you need a painter? Are you planning to publish a book?"

The queen shook her head and said: "I found that this kind of cheap paper is very suitable for promoting knowledge that is beneficial to the country, so I plan to make some important production techniques into an atlas and distribute them to various cities. Let those more remote cities get knowledge through books. I even thought about the first batch of atlases to be passed on, such as the production method and diagram of the waterwheel, the production method and diagram of the rail mine car system, sugar beets and Diagram of the method of making sugar..."
