It is a good thing to have ideas, but how to put them into practice is a problem. At least Li Ling can't come up with another thing that he can make money like writing a book but also do, so for him, writing the Gods well is the only way.

But sometimes things are not as good as others wish. When Li Ling was more eager to write about the Congregation of the Gods, when he entered the end of the third volume, he finally encountered the problems that all authors would encounter. He was stuck and could not have published two volumes in just over a month like before.

On the one hand, it may be influenced by the mentality. The more anxious you want to do some things, the more likely you make mistakes. As the saying goes, haste will lead to failure, especially writing. On the other hand, it is also related to his desire to perfectly present the content of the novel. In fact, the first third of the content of the book "Fengshen" is quite good, and there are many authors' own ideas, and many places can be called wonderful writing and deeply memorable.

However, as a large number of characters appeared one after another, the battle between the Shang Dynasty and Xiqi was cleared, especially after the main characters such as Huang Feihu were in place, the battles seemed a bit repetitive and redundant. Especially when the ten ultimate formations in the middle of the book, the ten names with domineering names and different Jie Sect formations performed almost the same. The ten battles came ten times like copying and pasting, which was not what Li Ling wanted to write.

Even if he didn't ask for an explanation to Gu Yuezi who helped him a few times, just to attract readers to continue buying books, Li Ling had to make major changes to make the whole storyline more exciting and interesting. It was also thanks to Li Ling who had read many online novels about cultivating immortals before, so he was not completely unable to write. However, the speed of writing books was greatly reduced. It was not until early July that the third volume was finally finished.

The storylines of Zhao Gongming and Sanxiao, who were more popular, were naturally another big challenge for Li Ling. This made him write hard at home after delivering the third volume, and even rarely go to bookstores.

Although the debt repayment day is getting closer and the money is far from enough, the brother and sister still have to live a good life, so Li Ling has no savings at all. He should eat and drink. Every two or three days, he would always buy some meat for Yue'er to have a tooth sacrifice for himself...

But Li Yue'er was a little uneasy after living like this. That afternoon, seeing Li Ling was only thinking hard at the table but not writing for a long time, she cared and said: "Brother, since books are so difficult to write, don't be too tired of yourself, I don't have to eat too good."

Li Ling put down his pen and skillfully touched the little girl's slowly thickened hair and said, "Don't worry, my brother can solve the problem of money. Now it's just a few dozen taels of silver. As long as I write down the fourth and fifth volumes, I will naturally be able to repay the debt in time. When you were growing up, you were injured before, so you always have to make up for it."

Just when Li Yue'er wanted to persuade her, the gate of the courtyard outside was knocked by someone. Seeing this, Li Ling stood up and went to answer the door. He just thought that someone from the bookstore was coming to urge the manuscript. After all, the situation of the Gujia Bookstore is not good now. The Wanjia Bookstore in the mansion has opened and has robbed a lot of their business.

As for Xu Cang, since he was hit by the county government that day, he has been studying hard after returning and staying in the door. He has not been in contact for several days. He thinks it is not him. But when Li Ling opened the door to look, he found that a strange man standing in front of the door, in his thirties and forties, looking smart and wise.

"Who is yours?"

"Are you Xiaoyaozi?" This person also raised such a question, which made Li Ling stunned for a moment. He remembered that Xiaoyaozi wrote the pen name of Fengshen himself, and nodded in confusion: "It's just that, what's the point of asking me for?" Could it be that the readers came to chase me?

"In the morning of Wanrong, the shopkeeper of Wanjia Bookstore in Jiangcheng is disrespectful." After reporting to his house, this person naturally entered the yard and made a gesture of entering the room to talk to Li Ling, which really made a move to turn the guests.

Li Ling was stunned for a moment, then reacted, put a professional smile on his face, invited the person to the main hall, and asked Yue'er to send two cups of hot tea.

After scanning the furnishings in the house and courtyard, Wan Rong felt more confident and said, "Xiaoyaozi's name was also heard when he was in Hengzhou Prefecture City. After reading the two volumes of "The Romance of the Gods", he felt that your master was very talented and his writing was so wonderful. But he didn't want you to be so young."

"Hehe, Brother Wan praised me, just call me Li Ling. I have only such a skill and make a living."

"It turns out to be Mr. Li, I'm disrespectful." Wan Rong was a little surprised. Li Ling was much smoother than he had thought before. In the past few years, he has dealt with many scholars and authors. They are either arrogant or clumsy in their words, and there are very few people who can chat calmly like him.

Li Ling continued to laugh and said, "I should be the one who is disrespectful. I have admired the name of Wanjia Bookstore for a long time. It is the leading bookstore in our Hengzhou Prefecture..."

Seeing him talking nonsense for a while, he just praised Wanjia Bookstore, which made Wanrong unable to resist and was anxious to get to the topic. When Li Ling finally stopped drinking tea with a little bit of a word, he quickly said, "Since Mr. Li, you admire my bookstore so much, I believe you hope to cooperate with us, right?"

"Cooperation? What kind of cooperation method?" Li Ling was excited and knew that the show was coming.

"Mr. Li's "Fengshen" is a rare good book. It's so aggrieved to only be printed and sold in the small Jiangcheng County. That's a secret porch. But if it is delivered to my Wanjia Bookstore for printing and publishing, it would be very different. We are sure to let your book be distributed throughout Hengzhou this year. If the sales are considerable, you can also send it to Luoyang, the capital..."

Within a few words, Wan Rong drew several big cakes for Li Ling. If he had changed his person, he would naturally be moved. But Li Ling still looked smiling and nodded repeatedly: "I naturally yearn for Manager Wan when he said this. But, I don't know what you have to ask for? It's just to help me push the books everywhere, right?"

"It is my Wanjia Bookstore's greatest gain to let a good book be read by more people." Wan Rong changed his mind again: "Of course, if Mr. Li is willing to cooperate with us, he must do one thing, that is, no longer provide the local Gujia Bookstore. Don't be too busy to refuse. I know that you have a good relationship with Gu Yuezi, and your books are famous because of him. But friendship is friendship, and business is business. I think Mr. Li will not push out such benefits because of his impulse, right?"

"Oh? Then I wonder how much money do you plan to spend to buy my manuscript if I agree to your request?" Li Ling's expression could not show his joy and anger, and just continued to ask.

"The first two volumes have been published for many days, so the price naturally has to be suppressed, only worth twenty taels. The third volume is said to have been delivered to the Gujia Bookstore, but it is still new after all. Even if it is thirty taels, as long as the latest volume is exciting enough, we will also want eighty taels!" Wan Rong thought he had offered a price that Li Ling could not refuse, and looked at him with a determined look on his face.

Before Li Ling could react, Li Yue'er rushed into the room quickly, stared at the two of them with wide eyes and said loudly: "Brother, he is a bad person, Uncle Gu is a good person, don't agree to him!"

This time it was really beyond Wan Rong's expectations. After being stunned for a moment, he smiled and said, "Miss, it's too simple to see things, but I guess Mr. Li, you won't be as naive as Ling Mei, right?"

"I know what you want to say, children only distinguish right from wrong. Adults always only look at pros and cons, right?" Li Ling asked at him.

"That's the reason. As long as you nod and agree, I will buy the original manuscript with silver now. As for the price of the new book, you can discuss it slowly. Mr. Li, you are a smart person, which bookstore can give you more help, you should be able to distinguish it."

"Yes, your Wanjia Bookstore has a great career, and is far from comparable to the Gujia Bookstore. And if you can find me, I'm afraid someone has been bribed by you. In addition, even those other book writers in Jiangcheng County, I'm afraid there are many of you who have been told to change the house, right?"

"Brother..." Seeing that Li Ling had no intention of refusing to the side at all, Li Yue'er was really anxious. She stepped forward and pulled his arm, shaking it and wanted to say something, but Li Ling grabbed it with her backhand, stopping her from continuing to persuade her.

But Wan Rong was happy. In order to motivate Li Ling, he hurriedly increased his mind: "Mr. Li is really smart and he guessed it at once. Yes, not only you, but most of the other book writers in the city have nodded. It is just because you have always been low-key before and no one knows who Xiaoyaozi is, that has been delayed until today."

"So that's it." Li Ling nodded. As expected, he had a good guess. A traitor appeared beside Gu Yuezi.

"So you agreed?" Wan Rong laughed, thinking that things had succeeded.

However, Li Ling suddenly smiled and said, "Didn't you hear the answer just now?"

"Just now, did you agree to me?" Wan Rong said in confusion.

"Didn't my girl say that we won't cooperate with bad people." Li Ling's answer was simply very good.

"You..." Wan Rong was stunned for a moment. He believed that he had given Li Ling enough face and benefits, but the other party was so ungrateful!

Li Yue'er, who was standing beside her, was happy. She put her hips on her face and grimaced at Wanrong: "Have you heard that, my brother said that he will not be with you, so please leave quickly!"

"You have thought about it. Once you refuse to cooperate with my Wanjia Bookstore, you will be our enemy. At that time, I will make you unable to print a book!"

"That depends on whether you have the ability. I have at least the Gu Family Bookstore here!" Li Ling replied without any fear.
