It was only 100 books.
The two volumes of “The Coiling Dragon” had been reprinted several times, so the supply of the books was going up.
As for Fang Yuan’s signature, Dunbar would never ask for it from Fang Yuan himself. He only needed to buy an autographed copy online.
Then, he could just imitate his signature for the rest of the 99 copies.
This was not a big problem.
After thinking of a solution, Dunbar said, “So what if it was one hundred?”
The girl in the lead continued to speak.
“But I feel that just an autograph is a little too boring. Since it’s an autograph book from a friend, it should be more personal and more customized, right? Otherwise, it would be the same as those autograph books we can queue to get!”
“That’s right!”
“That makes sense!”
The crowd responded and the leading girl said again, “Since we’re here for the Fall Cup, it means that we’re all authors. Every author must have a common goal, which is to write better works. Why don’t we get Fang Yuan to write us a message to wish us all the best in our writing? What do you think? It can be considered a memento for all of us for participating in this competition.”
Everyone cheered again.
They all agreed that this was a good idea. Just as the leading girl said, everyone here was an author. However, before they became an author, they were first excellent readers and had writers they looked up to. Being encouraged by a writer that they liked was such an inspiring thing.
“Okay!”
Dunbar watched as the discussion continued to go out of hand.
He was afraid that they would come up with some crazy idea and cause trouble again.
Thus, he immediately agreed to their current request. “I promise you that I’ll ask Fang Yuan to autograph the books for you. Don’t mention other unreasonable requests anymore. It’s settled then. There will be no more changes.”
All the beautiful women nodded.
It seemed that Dunbar had snapped back to his usual self.
Next, it was time to settle this autograph book.
It was not difficult to get an autograph.
Unlike what Dunbar told the girls just now, Fang Yuan was a very approachable author. Generally speaking, if someone asked him for his autograph, he would just sign it.
Dunbar asked someone to get a copy of “The Coiling Dragon”.
Fang Yuan’s signature had both Chinese characters and English letters.
Although the Chinese characters were somewhat unfamiliar, the two characters in Chinese, “Fang” and “Yuan”, were relatively easy. There were not many strokes and it was easy to learn. It was also relatively easy to imitate.
However, the custom autographs that those girls asked for were a little difficult.
They wanted Fang Yuan to write some words of encouragement, but Dunbar did not know how to express it in Chinese.
Dunbar has considered using translation software to translate English into Chinese, but machine translations were not very reliable and the grammar would be a bit strange.
Moreover, in case there were Chinese readers among this group of girls, Dunbar would be exposed and it would simply be embarrassing.
Dunbar would never embarrass himself in front of others. He could not afford this risk.
Of course, it was not impossible if he were to go to Penguin Publishing and find a Chinese person to write this sentence, but everyone said that the Chinese language was broad and profound.
