My Extraordinary Achievements-Chapter 301 - A Hundred Million in Rewards

Chapter 301: A Hundred Million in Rewards

As soon as the editor, Yixin, heard Meng Fan’s request to review and approve the newly created work, his eyes lit up immediately.

The last two Meng Fan’s serialized comics performed really well on the Penguin Animation Network. And Meng Fan was still his junior! But these two comics hanging under his name didn’t really have much to do with him, hehe.

Needless to say, “Guide to Campus RoMANce” was over and had not been signed yet. If the contract wasn’t signed, the website will definitely not spend resources to promote it. Naturally, it also won’t get any copyright. Contrary to what one may expect, there is profit, but it’s all in gratuities — and if the gratuities are high, one can get some money.

As for “There’s a Spirit Underground”, whether it was clicks, recommendations, or sales, they were all extremely abundant during this period. The sales scores, especially, have been hanging on the top of the best-selling list for a long time. But this comic was directly linked to the copyright department, and it had little to do with his editor-in-chief. Talking about gains, as far as Yixin is concerned, its results were the best among the popular best-selling comics.

However, even though these two comics have little to do with him, Yixin still cares about his junior very much, so he will sign his next comic.

It wasn’t only his opinion that in terms of painting skills and style, he was well-known in the industry as the top of the top. It was not an exaggeration to say that even if Meng Fan’s next comic — given that it is an original and not an adaptation — will have a plot as crappy as a piece of shit, his drawings will still be fiery!

Just like “Guide to Campus RoMANce.” The plot was really average, but one cannot resist the great painting skills. No need to even mention the amount of clicks on the cover on the website. Reportedly, many people purchase physical books only because they have a good-looking protagonist and a beautiful cover.

With Meng Fan’s painting skills and a little help in writing scripts from some screenwriters, it will become a hot topic in a split second.

Yixin had talked with Meng Fan before and knew that Meng Fan was working on an original comic. Of course, all along he’s been waiting to sign up Meng Fan’s next work. Not to mention the profits, Yixin obviously hoped to get his hands on the chance to distribute a best-selling comic.

And now, he finally got it!

It’s just that when he looked at the back-end, there was only a title and a cover, without any content whatsoever.

He couldn’t help the curiosity and asked Meng Fan about it, then he felt the urge to curse.

Where is the content to match the title!

Is this lousy title everything you have to show?!

He asked once again, feeling more panicked. He told Meng Fan that this time he should sign the contract and assured Meng Fan that he would strive for the best conditions for him, but Meng Fan still wasn’t convinced.

However, after a moment Meng Fan finally said that if he decides to act on it, Penguin surely will be his first choice.

OK, it’s not rubbish. Everything started here; it definitely is the first choice.

At that moment, Yixin was itching to rush to Hangzhou to find Meng Fan and have a good chat, but when he heard that Meng Fan was in Japan… For real…

Can’t afford it.

After hanging up the phone, he quickly finished the review.

After reviewing, Yixin habitually opened the comic page to make sure that the review brought success.

A book title and a cover.

Annoyed, he summarized: “This is my first original comic. The upload date is yet to be determined.”

Fun!

Yixin clicked on the “X” button, closing the web page. He stood up and left to make a cup of tea with chrysanthemum and wolfberry in order to calm his nerves, and then sat back in his seat. An editor sitting next to him suddenly gasped in surprise: “Tuck me, ten million in gratuities!”

“What ten million?”

“For the comic!”

Large rewards were broadcasted on the website. In the case of Qidian Chinese Online, it required millions for a reward to be publicized — if you use the app, there will be a treasure box floating — and in the case of Penguin Animation Network, 100,000 is enough to get broadcasted. Of course, if it was worth millions, the broadcasting time will be much longer, and the frequency will also be greater.

There haven’t been many rewards for Penguin Animation Network. The 100,000 rewards have happened. Only one one-million reward has been donated so far. Up to date, the reward worth ten million Penguin Coins has not yet occurred.

Until now.

Ten million Penguin Coins equals one hundred Huaxia currency!

“Who’s the editor of this “Legend of the Mountains and Seas?” Awesome job!”

“Holy cow, Meng Fan?! This one is Yixin’s, right?”

“Meng Fan is publishing a new comic? When?”

“Ah, looks like it’s a new project. It has nothing but the cover!”

“Come on, again? Is the site still repeating the broadcast?”

“Yixin, what’s the matter?”

All the editors who crowded inside the office looked toward Yixin, but Yixin was dumbstruck. How the duck was he supposed to know what’s going on?

He logged in to check and then became even more dumbfounded, as it was Meng Fan’s own account that rewarded millions of Penguin Coins to “Legend of the Mountains and Seas!”

Was it an error in the system?

Or did Meng Fan go mad?

No!

It wasn’t ten million; it was twenty million!

“Shoot, another golden treasure chest appears!”

An editor next to him checked the app and cried: “Another one, one more, a few more in a row!”

Has the system actually broken down?

Yixin kept violently refreshing the website, but the comic page was loading very slowly. After successfully refreshing the site for a few times, the 20 million announcement was still there.

“Check the back-end!”

Yixin checked the back-end and saw that there have been ten rewards, each worth 10 million.

“Stop, there are no more treasure chests.”

“Yixin, look again! How many 10 million rewards have been there in total?”

Yixin refreshed the back-end again, and saw ten times 10 million, that is, 100 million Penguin Coins, which equaled a whole million Huaxia coins.

Yixin was dumbfounded, as were the other editors.

What the duck was it all about?

The one million and ten million rewards appeared in the app. All the app users can see them and many people will grab the treasure chests. After opening them, they will get some coupons, experience and even Penguin Coins. Of course, you need to collect the comic before opening the treasure chest.

Ten gold treasure chests in a flash made “Legends of the Mountains and Seas,” which had only a title and a cover, reach the number of more than 200,000 readers.

“I’m a bit confused.”

Yixin drank a large mouthful of chrysanthemum wolfberry tea, and then hurriedly called Meng Fan.

“Junior Meng, just now, a lot of rewards have emerged for your new comic. The rewarding user is your account. Are they really your own rewards?”

“Yeah.”

After the wave of operations, Meng Fan has finished the [Collector of Millions] mission, obtained the title and most importantly the attributes. Now he had +15 points in Scriptwriting and in Setting, and +34 points in Drawing Skills! After smoothly completing the task, he was in a great mood.

Yixin heard Meng Fan casually admit the fact and continued feeling puzzled. He couldn’t understand it.

“Umm, but why did you do that?”

“Can’t I reward myself?” Meng Fan asked. “I think I drew pretty well.”

Yixin was speechless.

“But have you finished drawing? What, is this million yuan for a cover only? You, you can reward yourself, but what’s the point in giving money to the website?”

“Nevertheless, it serves as motivation from me to me,” Meng Fan laughed. “Anyway, I see that after giving out the rewards, I got several hundred thousand readers. Whatever then, it’s the promotion expenses.”

Meng Fan couldn’t explain it to Yixin. He could just say he didn’t need to explain himself to anyone. Anyway, his explanation was unclear. Everyone could interpret it however they wanted. After a while, he said he needs to take care of something, and then he hung up.

Yixin looked at his colleagues and shrugged helplessly.

“Don’t look at me. I understand nothing!”
