Guild Boss's Ambition

The parchment hidden in my sister’s armor last time disappeared because of Lian’er.

But why did Lian'er steal our pawned books?

What's the point of stealing?

It's hard for me to imagine that such a lovely girl could do such a nasty prank.

Could it be that someone else was instructing her?

No, there was no one else around at that time.

So, was this an accident?

"Oh my God! I finally found you! Lian'er!"

At this time, a poster girl with twin ponytails came up to us. She put her hands on her waist, glared at Lian'er and said, "Do you know what time it is now? Senior Lan Nong has been waiting for you on the third floor for a long time. She is so worried that she has sent people to look for you everywhere. You need to understand your special situation and don't let others worry about you all the time, okay?"

Like Miss Lannong whom I met earlier, this poster girl also looked to be about twelve years old.

Are they all dwarves?

Or does President Ehard have a habit of employing child labor?

I am confused about this.

Perhaps because the situation was urgent, at the urging of the hostess, Lian'er hurriedly put the bamboo flute on the table, and followed the hostess out of my sight without asking for permission. Since the situation had already gotten out of control, I had no choice but to accept the bamboo flute and stuff it and the paper crane into my space backpack to keep them properly.

However, there is one thing that I am very concerned about.

Since coming to the Stone House, I have often heard the name of Miss Lannon.

It’s strange, she is just a girl, why does she get so much power?

Or is she really a dwarf?

wrong! wrong!

The backs of dwarves' hands all have a small tuft of decorative soft hair, but when we shook hands yesterday, the back of Miss Lannong's hand was clearly smooth and white. Of course, that doesn't rule out the possibility that she deliberately shaved the soft hair off, but dwarves treat that soft hair as a treasure and even buy lubricants to maintain it. There are very few dwarves who would deliberately shave their soft hair off!

She is 99% likely a human! And a loli! About twelve years old!

"It seems that I need to investigate her background thoroughly..."

When I met Miss Lannon yesterday, I vaguely felt a sense of oppression from her, which was the kind of oppression that I would occasionally feel when facing adults. She seemed to understand my intentions very well and had the calmness of someone who had already seen through the overall situation. I was just a chess piece in her hands, a puppet that could be easily manipulated in various ways.

Of course, that was more likely just my momentary illusion.

But Miss Lan Nong does show a maturity and stability that is different from her appearance.

"She is definitely not the silly and cute loli described in the Qunfangshu!"

"If you cut her open, the inside will probably be black."

Speaking of the dark heart, the necromancer that my sister and I met in the basement yesterday was perhaps the ultimate darkness. Even though she did not participate in their fight and was just watching from the sidelines, every word and action of the necromancer was filled with strange magic. Whether it was a smile or a movement of stroking hair, it seemed to be carefully calculated by her.

After a little thought, I suddenly discovered that Miss Lan Nong seemed to have the temperament of a necromancer.

"Control."

I tried to find an appropriate adjective to describe that temperament. I don’t know if this association is correct, but it has no direct relationship with me for the time being. I don’t need to think about it in detail. I just need to do my job well.

Today I need to contact people to help with the stall decoration, print promotional leaflets, and make advertising billboards to be placed at the door of the stone house. At the same time, I need to inform President Ehard of my promotional methods and obtain her consent. If there is still time left, it would be best to have dinner with those potential buyers of magic crystals, act cute in front of them, and build some relationships.

If I really think about it, I have way too much work to do.

I need to hire staff, but where can I find qualified staff?

Even if the original plans are already very detailed, when you really want to implement them, problems will pop up one after another. Theory and fact are two completely different things. The former can be accomplished quickly through intelligence, but the latter can only be accumulated slowly over time.

"Can I really achieve perfection by myself?"

“Ahhh! Don’t think about those annoying things for now. In short, just do the things that can be done well first!”

"Come on, Sophie! You can do it! You can do this!"

I encouraged myself in my heart, drank all the coffee in the Stone House in one gulp, and started an exciting day.

But first, put on your panties (cover your face)

00. Comments on the launch (Annie)

(Anne - Princeton)

More than four months.

Time flies, and it has been almost four months since Guild Poster Girl's Ambition was uploaded.

That lively and clever little girl has been in our stone house for more than five months.

And during this long winter, I am still wiping my favorite glass wine glasses in the bar area. Recently, several new cocktails have gradually entered the final fine-tuning stage and are almost ready to be launched for market testing. Unknowingly, my hard work is accumulating results, but I don’t know whether it will bring a satisfactory ending.

Ding ding ding.

The winter wind rang my wind chimes, and two figures sat down at the bar counter.

"Welcome, Xiaolan, and Yangqing-san!?"

I looked at my author Jun with a little surprise. At this time, Yang Qingzheng had a frown on his face. Although he has always been a taciturn fool, he seemed to be even more gloomy and depressed at this time.

I leaned close to Xiao Lan's ear and whispered secretly, "What's wrong with him?"

Xiao Lan rolled her eyes and said unhappily, "Do you know that we are going to put it on the shelves?"

“It seems to be true.”

As early as mid-February, we received a notice that the book would be released in March, so all the actors were busy working overtime to catch up with the schedule. However, weren't we ready to upload the 40,000 words in one go on March 1? Why was the author still so anxious? Isn't it something worth being happy about to be released?

Alas──

Over there, Xiao Lan sighed in a condescending manner, stretched out her finger and poked the ashen author's cheek and said, "Then, our useless author is actually a huge idiot who lacks confidence. Just because he wants to put his work on the shelves, he is so worried that he becomes such an idiot that people can't stand it. He thinks about all kinds of things all day long, and the more negative he thinks, the more negative he thinks."

When the author heard the words "on the shelves", he immediately trembled as Xiao Lan poked his cheek.

In fact, it is no wonder that he is so uneasy. As early as two years ago, he had written another novel. That was a very bad experience. Even though he had been working hard and silently, the novel still did not attract public attention. When he had written almost one million words, all his efforts were wasted because of the impact of a major disaster.

Until now, he could only find that novel on major pirated novel websites.

Reality is very ironic.

Fortunately, that disaster gave rise to a group of poster girls like us.

As his previous novel was a complete failure, our frustrated author wrote this novel to relieve his depression, and it unexpectedly received the love of many readers. Gradually, it had over a thousand collections, and he also heard voices of criticism and praise. After truly feeling the attention of readers, he gradually gained awareness and pressure as an author.

He really wanted to finish this novel.

But back to the reality -

He is a senior who is about to graduate.

This means that he must be responsible for his own financial situation.

but……

"Actually, Annie, I think you don't need to be so pessimistic, Lord Yangqing. No matter how bad your writing is, no matter how slow your writing is, no matter how distorted your values ​​are, and no matter how few bonus chapters you have, I believe our readers will still support you unwaveringly! Even if the number of collections is instantly reduced to zero, don't you still have the option of working as a bricklayer?"

I patted Yang Qingsang's shoulder and sent him full of malice.

The shivering author bacteria slowly turned into a shivering cube.

"How interesting—"

I couldn't help but smile a little with pleasure.

"Hey, Sister Annie, if you keep playing like this, he'll start crying—" Xiao Lan said sympathetically.

"Isn't that interesting?" I asked her back.

Xiao Lan put on a serious expression and said, "It's interesting, but if he dies, our timeline will stop here forever. For the future of the Stone House, let's think of a way to deal with this idiot, okay?"

"For example, how about you and Branny make a short movie together?" I said with my hand covering my mouth.

"Sister Annie, I'm serious." She wrinkled her face.

"Or do you like Xiao Meng'er more?"

"Sister Annie!"

"Actually... is it really me?" I put my hands over my chest.

"Sister Annie..." She was completely out of temper after being teased by me.

I patted Xiaolan's head contentedly and looked at the author next to me: "In fact, there is no so-called method from the beginning to the end, right? In this era of rampant piracy, everyone always has various ways to find free resources, and if the author wants to win readers' subscriptions, it mainly depends on the quality of the novel, and make people feel that it is worth the money."

Hearing this, Xiao Lan poked the cube author fungus with a branch.

"But our stupid writing skills are worthless!"

“It’s actually not worth much.”

I explained optimistically, "SF's subscription fee is not high. It only costs three cents for every 1,000 words. Three thousand words a day is nine cents. So what about thirty days a month? It's only two dollars and seventy cents. In this era of rising prices, in the larger cities in China, this price is not enough to buy cup noodles. I believe that the majority of readers will not be stingy with such a small amount of money."

"No - when people get poor, sometimes they really can't even take out $2.70."

Xiao Lan showed an expression of deep emotion.

"There are all kinds of situations..." I nodded in understanding. "However, VIP novels on SF will have a system of unlocking chapters every 36 hours. Non-paying readers can continue to read the novel as long as they are patient. However, it is still the same old saying, first pay first enjoy, and it can also reduce the risk of computer poisoning caused by reading pirated copies."

Xiao Lan narrowed her eyes and lay limply on the table. "Well, whether it's paid or not is mainly a token of my appreciation. I personally think that Alipay, which is used for SF top-ups, is quite convenient. You can use it for a long time after you top it up once. The authors of light novels will gain peace and joy, as well as an environment to concentrate on writing, because of the little nourishment from readers every day."

"In fact, the immature field of national light industry really needs your support──"

I sighed quietly.

Xiao Lan smiled faintly: "However, I always believe that there is love in the world. I believe that everyone will prepare paper and pen for the good poets, make shoes for the beautiful dancers, and let the musicians have a piano to play. When we see the good street performances, we will not be stingy with the priceless applause and cheers. After all, everyone loves beautiful things."

After listening to our conversation, the cube-shaped Yang Qingsang has slightly returned to its human form.

Hmm──a square humanoid shape.

All right.

In fact, we performed such a long segment mainly to cry out for the author’s poverty and misery.

Cough!

Here, on behalf of all colleagues in Stone House, I, Annie, hope that all readers who have accompanied us all the way can continue to support "Guild Poster Girl's Ambition". In the days to come, we will continue to work hard to improve our service quality, do a good job in every aspect of our work, and sincerely present you with a complete journey into another world centered around daily life and adventure.

Finally, I wish you all good health, a smooth life and happy reading.

22. A Day in the Life of Xiaoban (Xiaoban)

(Small spot)

Chirp, chirp, the birds are singing.

Winter mornings are the perfect time to curl up by the fire.

However, my master Bai Ye is a necromancer who does not know how to appreciate the morning. She would only curl up lazily in the quilt to recuperate, and would not pick up the dog fly to take me to appreciate the winter scenery. Of course, if she really did that, I would be scared half to death. After all, she is so great and so arrogant.

Taking your pet for a walk...

That might be a sign of the end of the world.

It’s scary to think about it.

It’s incredible when you think about it.

Whenever I recall the time when she picked me up and brought me back to the stone house, I would be extremely grateful to God, because Lady Bai Ye is so wise, so powerful and absolute. As long as I stay with her, no one will ever be able to bully me, and I will never have to worry about food, shelter and shelter. Lady Bai Ye is definitely the salvation God has given me.

But, somehow, no one seems to like Lord Bai Ye.

The looks towards her were always filled with fear and hostility.

It is clear that Lord Bai Ye is such a gentle person.
