After the college entrance exam, he began to become a male god of extraction.

Xu Qin took the contract and began to read it.

In fact, he had already carefully read through the electronic version of the contract last night.

He also sent it to his mother, who then had Ren Yun check it again.

Therefore, Xu Qin knew that this contract was the same as the last one, and there was no possibility that he would be scammed.

However, Xu Qin still carefully reviewed the paper contract after receiving it.

Xu Qin now understands contracts a bit better, and he pays special attention to some key parts.

Only after confirming that there were no problems did they sign the contract with Zheng Fanghong.

"Young Master Xu, I actually read your new book last night as soon as it was released, and I feel it has the potential to become a huge hit!"

The moment Zheng Fanghong saw Xu Qin sign the contract, he felt a sense of relief that everything had finally settled down.

A genius author like Xu Qin can be seen clearly in the first tens of thousands of words.

Zheng Fanghong knew that the second book of "New City Year One" would be a huge hit, even better than the first one!

Now that he has signed the publishing rights for this book, it would be impossible for Zheng Fanghong not to be excited.

"How did Mr. Zheng figure that out?"

Xu Qin asked with a smile.

Zheng Fanghong said earnestly, "The first 30,000 words of this book gave me a very amazing feeling. Whether it is the plot, the character development or the writing style, it is obviously one or two levels better than the later part of the first book."

"Young Master Xu, your progress can only be described as phenomenal. The literary world rarely sees writers like you who are constantly growing and growing at such a rapid pace."

Thanks to the power of "literary affinity," Xu Qin actually improved day by day when writing the first part of "New City Year One." It can be said that the beginning and the end are not even the same book. The leap in progress is huge and can be seen with the naked eye.

Zheng Fanghong's statement that the second part is one or two levels better than the later part of the first part is not just empty talk, but a realistic statement, and even a bit conservative.

"One more thing, I found that this new book also gave me a very special feeling at its core."

"How does it feel?"

Xu Qin was also a little curious.

"Well, how should I put it... let me think... it's a romantic feeling, yes, it's a romantic feeling!"

Zheng Fanghong slapped his thigh suddenly.

"However, I'm not referring to the romance of romantic love between men and women, but rather a very special quality in literature, especially classical literature—Romanticism!"

Zheng Fanghong: "I have read this quality in your book so far. I don't feel much of it, but it is very clear. I have never seen this style in the many years I have been reading books."

I never expected to see this in your book, Mr. Xu. This is actually a very difficult writing style; you really can't do it without sufficient talent, and it's even an innate literary quality.

Romanticism is indeed a very difficult literary quality to acquire; it is almost entirely a matter of innate talent and is hard to learn.

For example, Li Bai's immortals and Li He's ghosts are different styles within the Romanticism system.

Countless people in later generations have tried to imitate it, but none have been able to grasp even the basics, let alone the essence.

Only Xu Qin possesses "romantic affinity," which allows him to touch upon this rare and high-level quality in the literary field.

"I've recently been studying the romantic style of Zhuangzi, Li Bai, and others, so I'll try to write some of that, blending it with science fiction themes. Mr. Zheng, you might want to look forward to it. I'll be focusing more on this aspect in my future writings," Xu Qin said.

"I see. Young Master Xu is truly a talented individual. Others spend half their lives studying and still can't produce even a trace of his essence, yet Young Master Xu has already grasped a bit of it right from the start. If you truly succeed, Young Master Xu, it will likely cause a sensation in the literary world!"

"The literary world is full of talented and capable people; where am I compared to them?"

Xu Qin laughed.

To be honest, he also wanted to make a splash in the literary world.

Now that I'm in this circle, if I don't make some noise, I'll really be wasting my chance to cheat the system.

"Hahaha……"

Zheng Fanghong laughed heartily and said, "Young Master Xu, I wish your book will be a huge hit!"

The two chatted for another ten minutes or so before parting ways.

Because it was only a little past 10 a.m. when the contract was signed.

So at 11 o'clock, Xu Qin received the money from selling the publishing rights to the second part of "New City Year".

Of the 100 million yuan before tax, Xu Qin ultimately received 84 yuan.

As for the revenue from book sales, it will be paid out at the beginning of next month.

After the 84 yuan arrived in his account, Xu Qin checked his online bank account.

Balance: 1723652.43 yuan.

Xu Qin took a screenshot and sent it to his mother to share his joy.

"Awesome!"

"My son is really going to be great!"

My mom replied very quickly.

As a mother, watching her son grow up fills me with pride.

She never dared to think about these things before.

After all, before the college entrance examination, her mother thought that it would be great if Xu Qin could go to a good first-tier university.

But now, Xu Qin has not only gone to a top-tier university, but has also made a lot of money by writing novels.

He currently has over 170 million yuan in savings, not to mention the money from selling books, which is another million yuan or more, yet to be paid out.

So, Mom is very proud!

After sending the screenshot to his mother, Xu Qin then sent it to his father.

But Dad only replied with a thumbs-up emoji, and that was it.

Xu Qin had already gotten used to this.

My father has seen a lot, so he always seems calm no matter what happens.

In the afternoon, Xu Qin returned to school.

Today is Saturday.

After returning to the dormitory.

Jiahao and Zhou Botao were both there; Liu Nanfeng said they had gone out on a date.

Xu Qin opened the Chi Yu Forum and logged into the backend of his new book.

The second part of "New City Year One".

Collections: 132358.

Comments: 23698.

In less than 24 hours since its release, the book has garnered over 100,000 favorites and generated considerable buzz.

After all, the fan base built up by the previous book was there for all to see.

However, even with a fan base, the fact that the data is only this good at the beginning shows that Xu Qin wrote it well.

Zheng Fanghong wasn't exaggerating; the quality of the second installment speaks for itself.

Xu Qin's skills have improved again.

Moreover, this is Xu Qin's first time using the "romanticism" style, and he doesn't know what the final effect will be; he is just exploring it.

After checking the sales figures for the new book.

Xu Qin tidied up again and went to the gym.

Xu Qin had been unable to work out during the military training period, and had neglected his fitness routine for half a month. Now he had to pick it up again.

He is a person with strong execution skills; once he sets a goal, he will do it.

With his fitness training accelerated tenfold, Xu Qin estimates that he can achieve the lean, muscular physique he desires in another month or two, based on his current progress.

There are gyms near Ikeda University.

When Xu Qin arrived at the gym, he saw that there were quite a few people inside, mostly students.

After doing some warm-up exercises, Xu Qin planned to do bench presses to work his chest.

"what!"

As soon as he got to the bench press, he saw a boy lying there roaring, with veins bulging from his neck to his arms, looking particularly ferocious.

"100 kg bench press, four in one go, I did it!"

After completing four 100-kilogram bench presses, Li Zilong, with the help of his coach, put the 100-kilogram barbell back in its original position.

As he stood up, he shouted excitedly.

The 100-kilogram bench press is a hurdle.

Then he saw Xu Qin.

Li Zilong was surprised to see Xu Qin at the gym, whom he hadn't seen for more than half a month.

Ok?

"Xu Qin, what are you doing at the gym?"
