Chapter 5 (1/2)

Fang Yuan did not speak as his fingers danced on the keyboard.

His typing speed was very fast. Lilith wanted to stop him, but she could not say a word.

As long as the author was fully immersed in the world of creation, he would not pay attention to any changes around him.

That was because he had already entered the realm of imagination.

As the words on the screen became more visible to her, Lilith gradually dispelled all her doubts and was completely immersed in the fantasy world of “The Coiling Dragon.” until Fang Yuan typed the last word.

Fang Yuan started a new page and wrote the second chapter of the second volume.

Lilith felt as if she had just woken up from a dream. She felt lost.

She could no longer see the rest of the story.

When she turned around to look at the time, less than twenty minutes had passed.

Two thousand words in twenty minutes.

Naturally, this was not the limit for typing speed.

However, such an exciting and smooth story actually appeared in front of her out of the blue within twenty minutes.

It was simply incredible!

Lilith had been in the publishing industry for so long and had seen at least 800 young geniuses.

However, the only one who gave her such a huge shock was none other than Fang Yuan.

After writing these 2,000 words, Fang Yuan did not stop. While Lilith’s mind was blank from shock, he had completed the outline of the second volume.

“Amazing! Amazing!”

Lilith clapped her hands. “There’s no need to show me anymore, Mr. Fang Yuan. You’re more interesting than I thought. I have complete faith in your capabilities and I hope that you’ll continue to surprise us in the future.”

Then, they began to discuss the terms of the publishing contract. Lilith’s arrangement for this was very thoughtful.

They were only allowed to buy the right to print and distribute printed works.

The contract was signed for five years, and the payment of royalties was the highest-tiered with the most generous upfront payment.

Aside from the one-time upfront payment of 30,000 dollars, royalties fluctuated between 13% and 30% based on the number of copies printed.

Generally speaking, there were not many new authors who could get royalties. Even if they did, they would only get 6% to 8%.

If they could get more than 10%, they were considered a rising star and the strongest newcomer that everyone looked up to.

Lilith gave Fang Yuan the treatment of a famous author, with a starting of 13% gradually increasing up to 30%.

Excluding the paper, printing, editing, proofreading, and other expenses of the printed book itself, almost all proceeds were given to Fang Yuan.

The two of them walked out of the office. Lilith said to the secretary, “Arrange for ‘The Coiling Dragon’ to be printed as soon as possible. I want 100,000 copies for the first print!”

There were already a bunch of curious editors around the door.

Hearing 100,000 copies for the first print, everyone’s eyes almost popped out.
