Begin Liver Experience with Fireball

Chapter 7 The Correct Way of Training

Before you know it, October is over.

In early October, after the Xinghuo Literature Society published the novel "Dragon Knight", the popularity of "Dragon Knight" continued to rise.

By the end of the month, four editions of the single novel had been released. (Xinghuo Literature Society reissued the first single volume)
Countless people are looking forward to it, looking forward to the follow-up content published by Xinghuo Literature Society.

At the same time, the "Wooden Man", the author of "Dragon Knight", also became a hot topic in Maple Leaf City.

mixed reviews.

Some people praise, some people blame...

Li Wei shines in the world of novels, but suffers from Waterloo in magic cultivation.

[Basic Meditation (Proficient)] 424/1000
[Small Fireball Technique (Level Zero Entry)] 53/1000
The practice of small fireball technique progressed slowly.

In November, the ground outside Maple Leaf City is covered with red maple leaves, dyeing the earth red.

Li Wei put on a thick dress and hurried to the Xinghuo Literature Club.

Although there is no snow in Maple Leaf City, the temperature has dropped a lot.

Except for a few extraordinary professionals with astonishing physiques, most of them have already worn long-sleeved trousers.

As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the Xinghuo Literature Club, Jimmy opened the door and hurriedly shouted: "Mr. Li Wei, come in quickly, it's too cold outside."

Li Wei quickly got into the door.

"Why did Mr. Gus call me here?" Levi asked as he walked.

Jimmy said: "Last month, the total sales of the novel "Dragon Knight" has been released. Director Gus called you here to explain to you about the remuneration."

"Oh."

Levi came to Gus's office, and after the two sat down, Jimmy stood beside him serving tea and water.

Gus picked up a piece of paper and handed it to Levi, saying, "This is the sales record for last month."

Li Wei took a hasty glance and looked directly at the last line.

"A total of 9642 copies were sold in the four editions."

Gus said: "A total of four editions of the first four chapters of the "Dragon Rider" novel were released in October. The price of a single book is 10 copper coins. The sales volume of the second edition is the best. They are all stable at more than 3792 copies, and the sales volume of the first edition is relatively low due to the publication of the Xinghuo Anthology, which is also a normal situation.”

Upon hearing this, Li Wei nodded, indicating that he understood.

Gus continued: "According to the contract, the Spark Literature Society will give you half of the net profit after deducting the distribution costs of the novel "Dragon Knight"."

"Depending on the number of releases, the cost of publishing a single novel is also changing. The more the number of releases, the lower the unit cost."

"The second edition sold nearly 2.64 copies, and the unit price cost per copy was reduced to 1000 copper coins. The first edition only sold more than 3.33 copies, and the unit price cost per copy was [-] copper coins."

"The unit price per copy of the third and fourth editions is 2.98 and 3.06."

"In the future, there may be a situation where the old version of the novel is printed again, so there will be no small difficulty in calculating the cost in the future."

Hearing this, Li Wei said directly: "Director Gus, just say what you want to say."

Gus smiled and said: "After the high-level discussion of the Starfire Literature Society, we suggest that Mr. Li Wei's remuneration be calculated at a constant unit price of 3 copper coins per book. payment of remuneration."

Li Wei thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "Yes."

Seeing that he agreed, Gus said happily, "Mr. Li Wei, wait a moment."

He walked outside and came back after a while, handing a cloth bag to Li Wei.

"The total remuneration for the novel in October is 33747 copper coins. There are 3 gold coins and 50 silver coins in total. Please keep it."

Li Wei weighed the bag and put it away in satisfaction.

The Xinghuo Literary Club was really good, and even offered him some extra money.

After getting the money, Levi said goodbye to Gus.

Gus did not forget his duty as an editor, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Li Wei, don't forget this month's manuscript."

Li Wei said with a smile: "I will never forget, I still hope to write books to make money!"

In October, in addition to meditating and cultivating mana, practice spells.

He also found time to write a manuscript of tens of thousands of words and hand it over to Xinghuo Literature Society.

Later, I thought it was too troublesome to submit it once a week, so I simply agreed with Gus to submit it once a month, with at least four chapters each time.

With money, the first thing Li Wei did was to buy Anshenxiang.

The Anshen incense I bought earlier has long been used up.

"Do you have any potions here?"

"Potion? Only mages can make that kind of thing. We don't have it here, and besides mages, no one else can use potions. You can go to the mage tower to see."

Li Wei spent fifty silver coins to buy five sedative incense sticks.

Five sedative incense sticks are probably enough for him to use for about ten days.

Returning to the mage tower, after much deliberation, he found Teacher Gu Ze.

Gu Ze looked at him in surprise, "Do you want to buy potions?"

He said: "It's too early for you to use potions, not to mention the lowest level potions are worth at least a few gold coins."

Li Wei explained.

After listening to his explanation, Gu Ze showed surprise.

"Every time you practice a spell, do you consume mana to build a spell model?" Gu Ze asked unexpectedly.

Hearing this, Li Wei was taken aback for a moment, and asked, "Isn't that so?"

Gu Ze laughed and said, "Of course not. Mana is used to build spell models only when the magic is actually released. In normal practice, you only need to use mental power to build spell models in your mind."

After hearing this, Li Wei was dumbfounded.

No one had ever told him about it before.

Gu Ze shook his head and said, "You are too anxious. The teacher will teach you how to practice casting spells after you pass the apprenticeship assessment next year and become an apprentice."

Back in the dormitory, although I didn't buy the potion, I knew the correct way to practice spells.

Li Wei lit the tranquilizing incense, trying to build a spell model with mental power in his mind.

In less than 5 minutes, the mental power constructed the spell model of the small fireball.

Much easier than controlling mana to build spell models.

Soon, Levi discovered the difference between the two methods.

The advantage of using mental power to build a spell model is that it is easy and simple, and the practice consumes less.

The disadvantage is that you can't practice improving your mana control.

Practice does not consume mana, and naturally it will not increase mana.

On the contrary, it will cause excessive consumption of mental power due to practicing spells, which will affect normal meditation and mana cultivation.

Pros and cons.

If you want to learn a spell quickly, you should naturally choose the mental power construction method first.

Li Wei destroyed the spell model in his mind, then built it, destroyed it again, and built it again...

Constantly looking for faster builds.

He practiced for more than an hour at a stretch, building spell models fifteen times before exhausting his energy.

Because of the headache caused by excessive mental energy consumption, Li Wei rubbed his temples vigorously, trying to relieve the pain.

Not only a headache, but also a nauseous feeling.

"The limit is fifteen times. At least part of the mental power must be left to consume mana. Practice up to twelve times a day."

Li Wei took a deep breath and felt the pain subside slightly.

He lay down directly to rest and sleep.

When I woke up, it was the next morning.

After forming a habit, Li Wei will wake up naturally at six o'clock every day.

Then I meditate for about an hour, eat more at seven o'clock, and go to class at eight o'clock.

In the early morning, Li Wei did not try to practice spells, mana cultivation is equally important.

He fetched water to wash his face, concentrated, and the water flowed into writing.

[Small Fireball Technique (Level Zero Entry)] 68/1000
Seeing the remarkable progress in the small fireball technique, Li Wei smiled and let out a breath of steam.
