Love Apartment: The All-Around Comedian

"It was probably around 3, but I don't remember exactly." Guan Gu Shenqi tilted his head back and thought for a moment, "Because I paid double the rent."

"Over 3, they really have money to burn." Su Mingyang's lips twitched.

……

Time flew by and it was past nine o'clock at night, and we had drunk quite a bit of alcohol.

After Zeng Xiaoxian paid the bill, the group of seven returned to the apartment.

As for Lü Ziqiao, he said he went to scout ahead for Su Mingyang, but he hasn't returned yet. He's probably off off somewhere having fun.

Chapter 21 Hu Yifei has a health problem.

After returning to his apartment from the bar, Su Mingyang borrowed Lu Zhanbo's computer and logged into his email to check the comic book company's reply.

He submitted One-Punch Man to nine different comic book publishers.

Six companies have already responded.

Three of them rejected the submission, all citing unsuitable art style.

Su Mingyang didn't care and started reading the replies from the other three companies.

These three companies are Zhike, Manjia, and Huahun.

Judging from the replies, these three companies are very optimistic about the One-Punch Man manga and have expressed their desire to sign contracts with him.

Su Mingyang didn't know how to choose, so he browsed the information of these three comic book companies online.

To his surprise, all three comic book publishers were located in Shanghai.

"In that case, let's just meet them up and see who offers the most money, then we'll sign with that company."

Su Mingyang pondered for a moment, then sent his phone number to their email address, asking them to contact him after seeing it.

After finishing all this, it was already past midnight.

After returning the computer to Lu Zhanbo, Su Mingyang, thinking that it was still early, began browsing the system.

Love Apartment World Main Character Favorability Rating

Lin Wan-yu: 76

Lu Zhanbo: 58

Hu Yifei: 55

Zeng Xiaoxian: 51

Lü Ziqiao: 49

Guan Gu Shenqi: 43

Chen Meijia: 31

Zhang Wei: 0

……

The data is largely unchanged from before.

Bored, he started chatting with the system in his mind.

From the conversation, he learned that the purer the protagonist's heart, the faster his favorability towards him would increase.

This explains why he met Lu Zhanbo first, but Lin Wanyu's liking for him was several times higher than the former.

Of course, there is another reason – the two are of the opposite sex.

During our casual conversation, it was already 2 a.m.

Su Mingyang was about to take a shower and go to sleep when he stepped out of his room and saw that the bathroom light was still on.

A faint sound came from inside, sounding like someone was in great pain.

Su Mingyang recognized Hu Yifei's voice.

"It's probably constipation," Su Mingyang guessed.

In the past, when he was constipated, he would unconsciously groan loudly to increase the motility of his intestines.

At this moment, Hu Yifei's humming in the bathroom suddenly became a bit louder.

"It seems Hu Yifei is severely constipated; she can't poop even with all that straining," Su Mingyang thought to himself before returning to his room.

Half an hour later, Su Mingyang finally came out to relieve himself.

As soon as he entered the bathroom, he smelled a strange odor.

Su Mingyang assumed that Hu Yifei's long-term constipation caused the strong odor and didn't think much of it.

After draining the water, I shook it a couple of times and went back to my room to sleep.

He was woken up by a phone call at eight o'clock the next morning.

I only found out it was the editor-in-chief of Zhike Comics Studio calling after I answered the phone.

"Hello, I'm the editor-in-chief of Zhike Comics. Are you the author of the One-Punch Man manga?" Hu Dafa's voice sounded a little excited on the other end of the phone.

Just yesterday at noon.

His editor sent him the One-Punch Man manga files, saying he wasn't sure whether to sign a contract and asked him to decide.

When he first saw the artwork, he immediately gave the editor a severe dressing-down!

Damn it, it looks like a child's scribbles. The lines of the characters are simply appalling. Why wouldn't we reject it?

After ten years as a comic book editor, have you lost even the most basic judgment?

The editor felt wronged and asked him to read a few more words before speaking.

He was skeptical, but patiently continued reading.

It tastes so good!

This is a hot-blooded battle manga.

It tells the story of an office worker who saves a child from a monster. After three years of rigorous training, he becomes bald, but his strength surpasses human limits, making him invincible. He then goes on a rampage, defeating monsters along the way...

The protagonist being invincible from the start surprised him greatly.

All the action-packed manga on the market nowadays follow the same formula of leveling up and fighting monsters.

The protagonist of One-Punch Man is absolutely invincible from the start, which is definitely the first book of its kind.

In his opinion, it would be an injustice if this comic didn't become a hit as soon as it was published!

This will undoubtedly inject a strong boost into the sluggish Chinese comics market!

It's worth noting that the last comic book to achieve significant sales success in China was published several years ago.

He was incredibly excited.

Therefore, he personally replied to Su Mingyang with the contract information.

And they were closely watching Su Mingyang's reply.

He received Su Mingyang's phone number in the early hours of the morning and immediately called him the next morning.

……

"Yes, I am the author of One-Punch Man." Upon hearing this, Su Mingyang was instantly wide awake.

"How should I address you?"

"My surname is Su."

"Okay, Mr. Su, our comic book company would like to sign your comic. Are you free this morning to come here to sign the contract? I have prepared three contract options for you: buyout, revenue sharing, and guaranteed revenue sharing. Your royalties will definitely be no less than a million," Hu Dafu said confidently.

In his speculation, the fact that One-Punch Man's art style is so bad means that the author must be a newbie who has just learned to draw comics, and he must have been eager to sign the contract upon hearing about the million-dollar royalty fee.

However, Su Mingyang's answer disappointed him.

"Uh, sorry, but those two comic book companies, Manjia and Huahun, also want to sign my One-Punch Man character," Su Mingyang said casually.

"Huh? Then what do you think, Mr. Su?" Hu Dafa was a little flustered.

Manga publishers Manga House and Huahun are roughly the same size as his company, so it will be a bit difficult for him to take on One-Punch Man now.

"How about this, I'll wait for them to contact me, then I'll talk to them, and then we'll arrange a time to meet and discuss it together, okay?" Su Mingyang said.

"Alright then." Hu Dafu nodded in agreement. He decided to ask his boss for permission later and was determined to get One-Punch Man!

Before Su Mingyang could even feel happy after hanging up Hu Dafa's call, two more calls came in.

They are the editors-in-chief of Manjia and Huahun, respectively.

What he said was no different from what Hu Dafa said.

Su Mingyang explained the situation directly to them and asked them to come to Love Apartment at 10 o'clock to talk.

No more waiting after the deadline.

He didn't want to go out on such a hot day.
