No one understands rebirth better than me

Chapter 15 Signed the contract and aimed at the monthly exam

"Come, come, Bai Guang, come here and look at this."

"what?"

"Manuscript."

"Who?"

"What are you doing? Be serious."

Inside the Qidian editorial office, seeing Maoya so excited so early in the morning, another senior editor, Bai Guang, was also very interested. He leaned over to take a quick look before sneering and leaving.

"Why is there this Supreme thing again? I understand, okay? If you want to complain, go find someone else. I'm busy."

"Fuck you! This is a great article!"

"Good article?"

White light disdain:

"With your weird temper, would you be willing to let me read such a good article? You'd treat it like a treasure, afraid someone would snatch it away from you."

"Hehe, don't worry, I've already added him on QQ."

"You add him?"

Bai Guang became a little more serious after hearing this.

Generally speaking, if a submission meets the contract requirements, the editor will contact the author and ask the author to add an editor.

Because many authors are not necessarily determined to write, they may disappear after submitting their manuscripts, or go to other sites, or even suddenly die. In short, asking editors to actively add authors is a thankless task that affects efficiency.

But this time, Maoya actually took the initiative to add the author's QQ.

The only possibility is that he not only thinks that this submission can be signed, but also has great potential, and Maoya himself likes it.

"What kind of article is that..."

Bai Guang approached the screen suspiciously and looked at it carefully this time.

The title is indeed a rather clichéd "xx Supreme".

But there is a slight difference.

"The Supreme Confucianist…?"

"Correct!"

To be honest, the word "儒" does distinguish itself from other xx supreme beings.

But what exactly is it about?
"National Martial Arts School?"

Bai Guang thought of a classic old article called "Tao is Originally Buddha".

"No, it's just the traditional monster-killing and leveling game, but the subject matter is really different. You'll see when you come and see it."

……

At that time, online literature paid great attention to the golden three chapters.

A qualified fantasy novel should preferably present the protagonist, the golden finger, and the crisis they will face within three chapters to ensure reader retention.

The first three chapters of this book "The Supremeness of Confucianism and Taoism" undoubtedly achieve this.

And it's done very well.

The most important thing is that, although the core of "The Supreme Confucianism and Taoism" is also about killing monsters and upgrading, its appearance is refreshing.

"...I've heard a lot about fighting spirit and spiritual power, but it's interesting to think that this 'talent' can also be used for cultivation..."

Bai Guang looked at it and nodded repeatedly.

"…In the late Shang Dynasty, King Wen of Zhou wrote the legendary book "The Book of Changes." A miraculous vision descended from heaven, infusing him with talent and awarding him the title of Second Sage? Hiss…"

Bai Guang grinned, unable to stop smiling.

"...holding the holy book 'The Book of Changes' in his hands, he recited...golden words flew from his mouth...a hundred thousand demons wailed, blood splattered everywhere...this is the embodiment of verbal and written criticism. Interesting, truly interesting..."

Bai Guang shook his head, while Mao Ya was as happy as a giant Buddha.

Seeing the settings of "Confucius became a saint, Mencius and Xunzi were semi-saints", Bai Guang, with his years of keen sense of smell, boldly predicted:

"This book has a lot to offer, Maoya. You might have stumbled upon a treasure."

"Well, it's hard to say. No matter how novel the subject matter is or how well written it is, the key lies in how the story develops later on. And since you're a new author, I'll just sign it reluctantly and see how it goes."

Having said that, Maoya was in an extremely happy mood.

At least for him personally, it has been a long time since he saw such a new book.

"I don't think he's a newcomer. He might be a pseudonym for an old author."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. It's fine. Anyway, I've added you on QQ. I'll just wait for your reply... Yunzhongren, um... This pen name is a bit awkward. I keep thinking about pinching your philtrum..."

----------

"Ah!"

?

Who scolded me?
In the classroom of Jiangzhou County No. 2 Middle School, Guan Ren suddenly sneezed.

Could it be that he was infected by Luo Xiaobei?

It is possible that the flu is more common when the seasons change.

Although Luo Xiaobei said she didn't have a cold, who knows?

It’s no wonder Guan Ren is suspicious. From childhood to adulthood, it can be said that nine out of ten times Guan Ren and Luo Xiaobei caught a cold, they were directly infected with each other.

The remaining time is likely to be indirect transmission.

There is no need to explain the reason.

After all, Luo Xiaobei's habit of asking for hugs all the time was not formed in a day or two, he has been like this since he was a child.

"You'd better do your homework quickly."

In contrast to this issue of the Chinese weekly, English and math were almost all multiple-choice questions, with only a few fill-in-the-blank and application questions. Guan Ren rubbed his nose and finished them all in a few minutes.

……

Next are two Chinese classes.

"Those who didn't submit their weekly reports this morning, please stand up."

Gu Wancheng started to show off her power as soon as she entered the classroom. After several figures in the classroom stood up one after another, she didn't even glance at them. She picked up the Chinese textbook and started teaching:
"Turn to page 38 and read it twice. Jade dew withers the maple forest. Start."

"The Jade-Dew-Withers-Injures-the-Maple-Forest——"

The students in the audience began to read the text in a babbling voice. The few who had not submitted their weekly reports had no choice but to stand and read with sad faces.

These people are actually just being punished for their mistakes.

But Xu Hui was courting death.

He had submitted the weekly report and was not originally punished to stand in the corner.

But he is so mean.

When Xu Hui saw his deskmate Chen Yaozu stand up, his face was broken with laughter. He was gloating the whole time. He poked Chen Yaozu's leg, pulled at Chen Yaozu's textbook, and poked his butt with a compass.

As a result, Chen Yaozu got furious on the spot, threw the textbook on the table and angrily shouted:

"Are you going to get out of here or not?"

This loud roar immediately attracted the attention of nearby students and Gu Wancheng on the podium. "Xu Hui."

"Gu...Mr. Gu..."

"You get up too."

"..."

Xu Hui stood up.

Chen Yaozu immediately calmed down.

A world where seemingly no one is hurt is achieved.

But in fact, Guan Ren’s two classes were the most awkward ones.

Because he always felt that there was a cold gaze secretly watching his every move.

Especially when I interact with my deskmate.

For example, picking up an eraser.

Take some notes.

Guan Ren always felt like he was being watched with suspicion, but as soon as he looked up, the mysterious gaze disappeared.

At first he thought it was Luo Xiaobei again.

After all, it was she who made trouble last time and secretly hit herself with a small paper ball.

However, this time, when Guan Ren went to see Luo Xiaobei, although he occasionally found that Luo Xiaobei was also looking at him, she would only stick out her tongue slightly at him, and then turn her head away in panic.

Obviously, the owner of the "mysterious sight" is not her.

The gaze of her childhood sweetheart is as warm as her little tongue. How could it be cold?

……

In short, Guan Ren cannot solve this problem for the time being, and can only attribute it to an illusion or something.

Compared to this, another thing is enough to make Guan Renxiao excited.

……

"Done! Sign the contract!"

When Guan Ren returned home from school in the evening, he checked his email and, as expected, received a reply regarding the edited manuscript.

But what he didn't expect was that the editor took the initiative to add him on QQ.

【Maoya: Hello】

[Mao Ya: I’ve read your manuscript, it’s very good]

【Maoya: Have you ever written an article before?】

You know, when Guan Ren agreed to his friend's request, it was already after evening self-study.

Normally the editors are off work.

But as soon as Guan Ren added him as a friend, Maoya actually agreed immediately and said three sentences in a row.

Is he so optimistic about this manuscript?

Guan Ren thought about it and decided that it wasn’t necessary.

Even if the manuscript is indeed excellent, the fact that an editor has to stay up late at night to check his work QQ may be more due to personal factors.

In other words, Maoya himself likes this manuscript very much.

In short, Guan Ren decided to keep quiet and pretend to be an expert.

----------

In interpersonal communication where the relationship or status between the two parties is not yet clear, replying to messages immediately always puts you in a passive position.

So Guan Ren simply left his cat teeth alone for a while and browsed B station first.

"Lanlan Luge Pao...Jinke Laliang Feifan...Huh? This man in the red turban seems to be..."

After clicking around randomly for a while, Guan Ren casually opened an episode of "Baka Test Summon the Beasts" in the [New Anime Zone]. However, as soon as he opened it, the system froze due to a barrage of comments like "FFF Group" and "23333".

To be honest, this is purely due to the computer's failure.

The number of barrages is actually not that large.

Because nowadays it is a miracle if a video on Bilibili can be played tens of thousands of times.

After all, the "two-dimensional" at that time was still a small circle. It was neither a fashion item nor did a large number of children flock to it. It also did not trigger a backlash later. It was simple and pure.

Finally, Guan Ren found an unpopular video, turned off the lagging barrage, and after exiting, he was attracted by another title on the homepage.

[Chengkong & Huameng: To Love-Ru tolove uncut BD Blu-ray 720P]

"..."

Ugh!
Bilibili is really too informal at the moment. How can it allow such unhealthy content?

To put it in a proper way, this kind of video should be severely criticized by Green Dam!
Guan Ren feels deeply saddened by this unhealthy content.

So I clicked in decisively and started criticizing.

……

"almost."

Five minutes later, Guan Ren's criticism ended.

"It's time to respond."

It’s okay to let the edit dry, but don’t let it dry for too long.

Guan Ren is still a new author after all, so he must strike a good balance.

[Guan Guan Jujiu: Hello editor, I'm sorry I only saw this just now.]

Half a minute later.

【Maoya: It's okay, aren't you asleep yet?】

[Guan Guan Jujiu: I'm a night owl, so the editor is the one who has to work hard.]

[Guan Guan Jujiu: I have indeed written some scattered works before, but they were all small websites and I was not particularly satisfied with the results. So I wanted to come to Qidian to try to prove my truth.]

There is a small tip in the author circle: new authors should not emphasize to readers that they are newcomers.

Guan Ren learned from this and did not tell Maoya that this was his first book, so that the editor could have some confidence in him. It doesn't necessarily mean that he takes it very seriously, but it's better than nothing anyway.

[Mao Ya: Okay, I think your book "The Supreme Confucianism" is pretty good. You can write it and publish it in the backend. Then the contract editor Xiaolu will add you tomorrow and tell you the process of signing and mailing the contract.]

[Guan Guan Jujiu: OK, thank you very much]

……

After finishing the conversation with the editor, Guan Ren started typing while the iron was hot.

He kept coding until two o'clock in the morning. When he finished another ten thousand words, Guan Ren stretched and went to sleep.

"The contract has been signed. Next, it's time to focus on sprinting for this weekend's monthly exam..."
