I will never give in to Miss Death

In this context, "Cockroach Bully" and "Venom Fang" have never gotten along well with Pipi, not to mention an unknown author like me with little income, so it is understandable that this person chooses to "speak frankly" about my affairs.

"Pikachu, I know you and that uncle often play games together and have a good relationship. You also often speak up for those low- and middle-level authors and have a high status in their hearts. But brother, listen to my advice. Reputation is the most useless thing. No matter how much you help those authors, they will not subscribe to your books. Now this website is definitely doomed to fail. Everyone should go their separate ways. It would be best if I can get my royalties back. If not, I will just treat it as a trip to Kamihama to pick up girls."

As we watched, the impatient voice of the "Cockroach Bully" came from Pipi's phone: "I am very grateful that you can stand up for the brothers this time, but really... sometimes I think your brain is a little bit dim. Since you have the contact information of the editor-in-chief, you can just tell the authors above us directly. The fewer people who know about this, the greater our chances of getting the royalties back, don't you think?"

"You've called so many people, even small authors who earn only 1,000 yuan for their manuscripts. When that uncle goes back to promote it, the small authors in the author group...how many authors earn 1,000 or 2,000 yuan a month? A conservative estimate is over a thousand, right? If all these authors come with us to ask for their wages, the boss might give them money if he sees 10 or 20 people, but suddenly hundreds of people come and the others just run away. Then we won't get a penny."

"but……"

Pi Pi was about to say something when the other party interrupted him: "Okay, it's not convenient to talk over the phone. Give me the address and I'll tell you in detail when I get there."

"Beep beep..."

After the call was hung up, Pipi glanced at the phone screen with a headache, and cast an apologetic look in my direction: "Nuo'er, don't take it personally, this cockroach bully has such a personality..."

"I know."

I smiled: "I don't care."

Actually, I'm used to this kind of thing.

This is what it’s like to have no money.

Among the group of authors, those who speak must be powerful authors and their words carry weight, just like at work. In society, when rich people speak, there will often be a lot of people agreeing with them.

I can’t remember how many times I’ve been given the cold shoulder—at work or around the apartment when I got back home.

If it really doesn't work, go home and watch an episode of anime to relax, or go to the bathroom and turn on the faucet to rinse your head, you will feel much better.

Then, turn the frustration of being ridiculed into motivation to move forward!

Don't bully the poor youngster! Oh no... now it's Don't bully the poor loli.

You can't punish yourself for other people's mistakes and make yourself unhappy for several days, right?

"I sent him the address."

After clicking a few times on his phone, Pipi sighed, "I shouldn't have invited the cockroach bullies in the first place."

"really."

Jiang Wei in front of me looked a little indignant: "I just couldn't stand their arrogant attitude at that time, so I didn't join the so-called exclusive group for upper-class authors."

“I’ve also quit that group.”

"Jitu Tonglong" Su Yunjin said: "It doesn't seem to fit my writing style."

"Jiji, you are a rich second generation, your family is rich, it's different."

Pipi laughed: "We write books for a living, you write books just for fun."

Rich second generation?

When I heard this word, I felt a little curious.

Is Su Yunjin still a rich second generation?

"How come you just sit on the grass without getting dirty?"

As he was talking, a somewhat frivolous voice came from not far away. Two people in shirts and jeans walked over from the garden entrance, led by a middle-aged woman dressed like a tour guide: "Pikachu? Who is Pikachu?"

Then, the man with earrings who was talking noticed me in the middle of the lawn: "Wow! What a cute little girl! Are you bringing your family with you?"

Pipi stood up: "Cockroach bully?"

"Yes, yes. This guy is Poison Fang. The website owes both of us a total of 32 yuan in royalties. I owe him 24 yuan, and he owes me 8 yuan."

Although I was talking to Pi Pi, this "cockroach bully" kept his eyes on me almost the entire time: "Isn't this little girl so cute? Her skin is so white and tender. Whose sister is she? Or is she your daughter, Pi Shen?"

"Nowhere, my daughter is only a few years old, she can hardly walk."

The corners of Pipi's mouth twitched, and he gestured to Jiang Wei on my left and Su Yunjin on my right: "Let me introduce you, Marisa's Tiejiu and Jitu are in the same cage."

"Oh."

The "Cockroach Bully" still had that frivolous expression, and responded as if it was just a routine. He didn't even look at Jiang Wei and the others, and stared at my face the whole time: "Isn't that Uncle Loves Lolita here? To be honest, I really don't like this author's name. A grown man using such a pen name... Tsk tsk, the thought is too filthy. If you look at other little Lolita, I guess he would run away if he saw someone using this name."

Then, the man in his twenties squatted down in front of me and asked, "Little girls, are you guys having a school holiday today? Are you out making friends? Do you have a boyfriend?"

"Uh……"

I instinctively moved back a little after what this guy said: "Thank you, I don't plan to fall in love for the time being."

"Don't be afraid. We are all authors who write novels. You know novels, right? Have you read any novels? Just go online and search for "Cockroach Bully". The book ranked ninth is written by me. I can earn a lot of money every month."

The cockroach bully was obviously very interested in me. He said in a coaxing tone as he approached Pipi: "Is this kid a celebrity or something? She's so cute, isn't she? I've never seen such a cute little girl. Is she your friend? Can you tell me?"

"she……"

Pikachu was in a dilemma and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

"Also, didn't you say that there was an uncle leading the way? Where is the uncle? Isn't he here?"

The cockroach bully looked around the small lawn and said in a slightly sarcastic tone, "Where is that little author who only earned a little over a thousand dollars, wrote for four years and only produced three million words with a weird name - Uncle Loves Loli?"

"Ahem, brother, stop shouting."

Unable to bear it any longer, "Marisa's Iron Butt" Jiang Wei stood up and walked to the cockroach bully, tapped his shoulder lightly with his fist, and then pointed at me who was standing on the lawn with an innocent look on my face.

"This little Lolita who you always emphasize looks like a little star and is very cute..."

"It's 'Uncle Loves Lolita'."

……

No. 028 I dried up the silence and regretted it impulsively

"Brother, are you kidding me?"

Under the bright sunshine, the "cockroach bully" standing on the lawn was silent for more than ten seconds after listening to the words of "Marisa's Iron Butt" Jiang Wei. The corners of his mouth kept twitching, and then he smiled awkwardly and said, "The author of Uncle Loves Lolita... wrote 300 million words in four years. He has been a member of the author group for a long time. You told me that she is this little sister? How old was she four years ago? Do I look mentally retarded?"

Although he said so, from my angle, this "cockroach bully" had already sweated a lot on his forehead. It was obvious that he must have guessed something in his heart.

An author, even if he mainly writes amateur texts or refreshing texts that do not require much logic, is still an author and has the basic ability to think about the plot.

At this time, there were only four people on the lawn: me, Jiang Wei, Su Yunjin and Pipi. Pipi had just said on the phone that everyone on his side was here, including Uncle Loves Lolita, Marisa's Tiejiu and Gito Tonglong. They had also introduced to the Cockroach Bully who was Marisa's Tiejiu and who was Gito Tonglong. So it was natural to know where the remaining "Uncle Loves Lolita" was.

Even if we take a step back and say that the main purpose of our coming out this time is to "protect rights" or "get overdue royalties", no one would be so idle as to bring relatives along. So as a little girl on the lawn, I am definitely related to this rights protection action.

This lawn has bushes on both sides, a big banyan tree in front and a bench behind. We are the only people within ten meters, which basically rules out the possibility that "Uncle Loves Lolita" is hiding.

Pippi didn’t directly say where “Uncle Loves Lolita” was, and I was the only “little lolita” on the field whose identity was unknown, so it was naturally self-evident who I was.

"Do you think I'm a jokester?"

Facing the gaze of the "cockroach bully", Jiang Wei shrugged: "I heard from the author group a long time ago that Brother Cockroach has a low emotional intelligence. When I saw him in real life, it was indeed true."

"What the hell?"

At this point, the "Cockroach Bully" could no longer maintain his superior appearance. He widened his eyes and looked at me in disbelief: "Are you really the Uncle Who Loves Lolita? What's the name of that...what's the name of that book? I'm sorry, I can't remember the title of your book. Are you really that uncle?"

"I……"

I was at a loss for words, and I turned my head away on the lawn. After thinking for a while, I said, "If you mean the uncle who loves Lolita on Yaetang Novel Network... then that is indeed my pen name."

In the current situation, if possible, I'd better disguise myself as a "legal loli", which is something like "an adult girl who is over 18 years old but whose body has not developed much." This is the most convenient, but there are two big problems here. The first is that I don't have an ID card related to this body, and the second is that my physical level is indeed only similar to that of a little girl of about 12 years old, or even worse than that of a 12-year-old girl. Except for being mentally mature, my strength and physical strength are far from meeting the standards of an adult.

If I claim that I am a legal loli and then go to defend my rights and demand my salary, when they see me like this, they will check the background and find that the ID card I used when signing the contract does not match the current one. They will say something like "let me see your ID card", and I will really have no way to defend myself.

Like now, I can still lie and say that I wrote the novel under the supervision of a "guardian", and this clause is stated in the contract.

If a minor wants to sign a contract after publishing a novel on the website, he or she must obtain the consent of an adult, which means obtaining a copy of their ID card and signature.

In that case, when I defend my rights later, I can easily get away with it by saying, “I don’t have an ID card yet, and it was my brother who signed the contract as my guardian.”

Similarly, the contract I have signed with "Miguabao Light Novel" also states that if I create an "adult" image for myself, regardless of whether I can get away with this appearance, at least my male ID card will not be usable after this, and they will definitely require me to sign the contract with my female adult ID card.

So how do I get a “legal loli” ID card?

There is only one answer, which is to ask for help from the elusive god of death.

My body was created out of thin air by her, so the ID card related to this body could only be created out of thin air by her, using magic to defeat magic - other than this, I can't think of any other way to obtain legal identity.

I can't... find a dark and windy night, pick up a brick and hit myself on the head, then run to the police station crying, and whimper for a long time telling the police that I have lost my memory, and that they are warm and polite but know nothing about anything I ask. Then I can wait for them to post a missing person notice, and spend several months to confirm that no one has claimed me, the "lost little girl", and then send me to an orphanage?

Live the life of an orphan again? I don't want it.

"Hiss - you really are an uncle who loves lolita. How could you come up with such a pen name?"

After getting my affirmative answer, the "cockroach bully" changed his expression instantly. He leaned towards me with a giggle: "Well, haha, little sister, don't be angry, those words I said just now were nonsense, don't take it seriously, ha, hahaha..."

"Cough cough."

Jiang Wei, who had a good impression of me since we met, coughed dryly and said, "Who said that the name Uncle Loves Lolita is disgusting? Who said that a thousand yuan for the manuscript is not considered a human being? Huh?"

"No, what I mean by disgusting is... it's disgusting for an uncle to give such a name. A little girl would be cute no matter what name she gives, right?"

The "cockroach bully" tried to come forward and touch my head, but I dodged it swiftly.

"A thousand yuan in royalties is for adults. This little girl is a genius for being able to earn a thousand yuan at such a young age. We will definitely help her get it back at all costs."

The cockroach bully continued to smile: "Are you right, girl? What's your name?"

"Bah, disgusting, double standards."

Jiang Wei shook his head: "You might as well keep being stubborn and mocking. When you see that someone is a girl, your face changes at the speed of light. Bah."

"What's wrong with me being hypocritical? She's so cute, whatever she does is right."

The cockroach bully looked righteous: "If you are also a little loli, then you can scold me as you like. Men can't scold others, but little loli enjoys scolding people!"

Alas……

I was listening to this and it felt like the hair on my hat was about to jump out uncontrollably.

Although this cockroach bully had long been known among the authors as being eccentric, I had never known that his personality could be so eccentric.

You say he is smooth, but his emotional intelligence is not high. You say he is not afraid of offending people, but he can be so humble when seeing a little Lolita...

"So what are you going to do as a guide? We already have a local from Kamihama here."

Pipi signaled the middle-aged woman behind the cockroach bully with his eyes: "Bring two locals? The first one can be used as a cushion first, right, so as not to be cursed when you go back later?"

"No, no, no, why would I need a guide when I already have such a cute little sister?"

The cockroach bully also reacted very quickly. He took out two ten-dollar bills from his pocket and handed them to the middle-aged female guide: "Okay, one hour, you can go now."

The middle-aged woman took the twenty yuan, and I saw the corners of her mouth twitching as she stood in the sun.

"thank you boss."

It can be seen that this middle-aged woman seemed to want to complain about something, but because there were so many people around, she didn't know how to say it for a moment. In the end, she could only silently put the money into her pocket, said thank you perfunctorily, and turned away.

After that, it’s leisurely waiting time.

Pearl Plaza has a history of 40 years in Kamihama City. There are many relatively complete infrastructure facilities around it. For example, there are several free drinking fountains about 500 to 600 meters away, providing disposable cups and drinking water.

At first, this equipment was often taken advantage of by people nearby. Later, the person in charge of the central district ordered people to install cameras next to the free water dispensers to randomly record videos, which were then played on the large LCD TV in the middle of the Pearl Tower. These videos repeatedly showed people filling water dispensers with water but not drinking it, or even bringing a large basin to collect water for watering flowers. Since then, the malicious destruction of water dispensers and water waste have rapidly decreased, and this type of infrastructure has continued to this day.

In addition to clean drinking water, the place also provides free charging power supplies, 1-cent bread, free telephone booths, etc. These projects and the nearby scenery soon attracted a large number of tourists. The nearby land grew rapidly, and three super-large pedestrian streets emerged in just two years, attracting countless investors.

It is said that the district chief who was responsible for the planning of this area was commended for this. His decision made the Pearl Plaza and Pearl Tower in Kamihama City one of the iconic areas of Kamihama City.

Just like online games, "free is the most expensive." The Pearl Tower and Pearl Plaza are free to visit, and there are so many perfect infrastructures around them, as well as popular check-in areas such as the Pearl Garden. The price is that the prices of things in the surrounding snack bars and beverage shops are extremely expensive.

"Besides writing novels, do you have any other hobbies? Do you play games? I'm a super-powerful King of Glory player. Just pick Yao and I'll help you rank up."

"How old are you this year? Are you in junior high school? Which nearby school do you attend?"

While waiting for people, the divine pet Pippi Li Jianfu took out his mobile phone and started typing, Jitu Tonglong put on headphones to listen to music, Marisa's Tiejiu opened the games "Reject Sick Son-in-law" and "Wang Fan Ziran", and only the "cockroach bully" paid attention to me the whole time, chattering at me non-stop.

"Uh-huh."
