Use the XP System To Build the Devil City

Although I feel that Howard looks very embarrassed.

But Li Muran can understand Howard's feelings.

As a novelist, having the support of readers is such a touching thing.

Li Muran also writes novels, and knows how important it is to get support from readers.

This is not only the motivation to write down, but also brings a huge sense of accomplishment.

"Writing a novel for one person" probably feels like this.

According to Howard, Li Muran seems to be Howard's first real reader.

Howard was quite moved by Li Muran's behavior.

Howard cried with snot and tears.

It took a while to regain calm.

Li Muran also took this opportunity to chat with Howard about some things he wanted to know.

It was a long time ago when Howard wrote this novel.

Why did you choose to write novels in this era when books are extremely expensive.

Howard said he didn't know either.

Feeling a voice in my head, or simply an impulse, to start writing a novel.

Talking about this topic, Howard was like a child talking about his dream, with a gentle smile on his face for the first time.

"Did the benefactor ever encounter this kind of situation. It's just that some interesting things will pop up in my head. During that time, my head was full of these thoughts. I think it's very interesting. Just thinking about it makes me feel happy. I I want to share these interesting things with others. This is the middle school when I wrote the book."

How could it not be.

Anyone who writes novels will have this idea.

A story is like an eraser spinning around in your head.

Share the story so that people other than yourself can feel the joy.

This should be the common idea of ​​all novelists.

"Of course, I also wanted to become a blockbuster, and then make a lot of money for my family. I took the opportunity to honor my ancestors and make my family think of me. Unfortunately, things backfired. Writing a novel is very difficult. Writing a blockbuster novel is even more difficult."

Speaking of this, Li Muran, who still disliked Howard just now and thought he was a troublesome one, nodded seriously.

On something, the two resonated.

"That's right. Writing novels is a dead end. Not only can you not support yourself, but you may also spend a lot of time and energy on it. This is a true portrayal of the ideals are beautiful, but the reality is very skinny."

Li Muran and Howard looked at each other and held hands together.

Bella couldn't understand this kind of emotion between men, she had already lost interest in Howard, she blinked her eyes wide, and looked at other things.

In addition to the feeling of writing novels, Howard also said more about the situation.

This book, as Li Muran guessed, was paid for at his own expense.

No wonder you can't find it in bookstores.

"The cost of publishing a book is so high. How could such a book be printed?"

"The same goes for books. If I were the owner of a bookstore, I would never allow this kind of book to enter my store."

"Benefactor, what you said is too straightforward. It's a blow to my confidence. Believe it or not, I'll hang myself for you to see. It's a shame that you are my only reader, and you don't think about others at all when you speak."

Bella, who was picking bugs with a wooden stick, nodded in agreement with Howard.

"Li Muran is like this. He wants to consider other people's feelings, so he is not Li Muran."

Although they just met, Bella and Howard reached a consensus on who Li Muran is.

"It's easy to say anything about me. You're a tough guy to even publish a book at your own expense."

Li Muran looked at Howard dressed as a beggar.

It is so difficult to publish a book.

Either a top iron, or a defender of ideals who are desperate for their dreams.

Li Muran felt that Howard was not the latter.

Howard also smiled wryly.

"I don't deny it. Who is not a young man with a dream. Young people just do things without consideration. If you are not arrogant, are you still called a young man?"

"makes sense."

This kind of mistake is made by people on the road of growth.

A wily and wise man sometimes stumbles, let alone a young man who is not deeply involved in the world and doesn't understand many things.

As an educator, Li Muran also agrees with Howard's statement.

In terms of stupid things, their own crumb devil and pants pee devil have done a lot more than Howard.

Howard is somewhat irrational for the sake of his dreams.

The stupid things that the Scrap Demon King and the others do don't even touch the edge of dreams, they are simply stupid.

Their own demon kings are not qualified to compete with Howard at all.

"At the beginning, I thought that I could make a lot of money in this way, and maybe I could honor my ancestors and win glory for my family. Now it seems that I still think about things too well, the eunuch is too good. And at that time, my family's conditions were not bad. It can withstand my toss. I didn't ask my parents for the money either, it was saved by me frugal."

"Oh, that's how it is."

Howard's situation is much better than that of the Scrap Demon King.

Thanks to the family's own expense, it didn't add to the burden on the family.

Unlike the demon kings who can't do something, they will come to beg 'Dora Muran'.

Acting like I'm 'Nobi Bella' for granted.

It will cause trouble for others.

Li Muran also took out the fragmented copy and showed it to Howard.

Howard looked at the remnant with emotion, and said that this was the "starting point of intertwined fate".

As expected of a writer of novels, he just opened his mouth.

Also pull on the 'starting point'.

How did he know that Li Muran had a 'starting point'?

He knew so much that Li Muran wondered if he was really destined to meet this guy.

"I miss it so much. This book was tossed and turned, and finally fell to the benefactor who was injured. This book has really gone through a lot, and it is a 'story' in itself."

"Speaking of this, I've always been curious. Aren't books very expensive? It should only be spread in the noble circle. Why did your book go to the village. I don't think the villagers have the habit of reading books."

Having said that, Howard grabbed his disheveled hair with a smile.

"That's it. When our family went bankrupt, we fired the servants. After all, my family is only a low-level nobleman, and the servants are all poor people from the countryside. At that time, there was no money to pay the severance pay, so I gave away the most precious things to me. Gave them as severance pay. After all this book is my heart and blood, it is like a child to me. They are second in importance to me after my life. Fortunately, none of the 50 books at my own expense sold Go, so the severance pay is good."

Li Muran listened, and pushed down his glasses expressionlessly.

"I guess, when the servants left, they were frantically looking for you."

"How does the benefactor know? Did you see it with your own eyes? It is indeed as the benefactor said, everyone is very excited."

No no no. How could Li Muran have seen it with his own eyes?

Just get emotionally involved and think about the scene Howard is talking about.

You can guess right away.

Not difficult.

Howard nodded meaningfully.

"After all, if you are a master and a servant, everyone must be reluctant to leave me. That's why you desperately searched for me. I was also afraid that I would not be able to part with you after meeting again, and that I would not be able to make up my mind to part when we met again, so I hid and did not see everyone for the last time. I Shouldn't we meet up with everyone?"

Don't.

Thankfully I didn't see you.

If they meet, there will be no chance for Li Muran and Howard to meet after this.

Howard is sure to be torn to pieces by the 'enthusiastic' servants.

This guy got it all wrong.

Everyone was not excited because they cherished the relationship between master and servant, but because Howard used "about me accidentally becoming invincible, defeating the bastard who is a feuding enemy, and marrying a princess" as severance pay to send everyone away.

Everyone must have thought the same thing at the time.

Just kill Howard.

If Li Muran was in the position of the servants, he would have been looking for Howard excitedly. Then touch him.

This thing, in Howard's opinion, is really a treasure.

But in the eyes of the employer, it is worthless garbage.

Using this kind of thing as collateral for severance pay is the same as the nature of the contractor's IOUs in arrears of wages to workers.

Howard was really lucky to be able to escape.

In this way, it can eliminate the pity of throwing away, leaving meaningless excess inventory, and it can also send away the dismissed servants, which kills two birds with one stone.

I don't know if this guy is really stupid, or the nature of the capitalists in disguise.

But from Howard, he saw the same aura of wisdom as Bella and Tina Li.

Li Muran felt that being able to come up with the above content really overestimated Howard.

After all, this guy is just a low-level nobleman.

Also broke.

It's not unreasonable not to be able to thrive like Sam.

"I really like writing stories. I once regarded it as my mission. Although everyone said that I am not doing business, I am ignorant. They say that I use the ability to read and write that I learned from the Noble Academy in this kind of story. It's a waste of things. Never expecting my choices. But I still enjoy writing stories like this. The feeling of connecting with the characters in the book and watching them grow is the best feeling. It feels like this is my calling. Only when I am writing a book can I forget all my troubles."

Inexplicably, the topic turned to writing a book again. Howard talked eloquently, although it was something that made him fail in life and left a bad record, but he was very happy.

There was no unpleasantness in the words, no complaints about writing the book.

Instead, consider it the most meaningful thing in your life.

It's what really makes Howard feel self-worth and happy.

It can be heard that Howard loves to write and has never regretted it.

Speaking of this, Li Muran was also a little moved.

Then it's time to throw an olive branch.

"I also appreciate Howard's talent."

"Really, it's so satisfying to hear such words. It feels like death without regret. Thank you so much."

"I not only appreciate Howard's talent. I also recognize Howard's value. I very much hope that Howard will continue to write books. He can write books for me. It is for this purpose that I have come all the way to find you."

Howard showed a very moved expression, which made Li Muran worry that he would pass away in the next second.

"I'm so happy. This is happier than getting silver coins from you. Finally, someone recognized me. It feels like a dream that has been going on for too long and has been through too much pain. But the dream finally came true."
