Early the next morning, shortly after Ma Xiaolong entered the classroom, he was called to the office by Sun Ban, who told him that he was going to run a 50-meter race with the fifth and sixth grade boys during class today.
Ma Xiaolong was confused: "Why?"
Ban Sun snorted coldly: "Aren't some people jealous...forget it, remember, run hard during the competition and don't lose to those senior students."
[Ding, trigger a sports competition, competition level - lowest. Competition difficulty - extremely high (this is an unequal competition). Comprehensive level - medium to high. 】
[Please be the first to finish the race. Mission reward: 10 skill points or 1 attribute point.]
"..."
…
As soon as he returned to the classroom, Zhu Sha asked him: "What did Teacher Sun tell you?"
"Let me race against the fifth and sixth graders."
After hearing what happened, Cinnabar frowned slightly: "Can you win?"
Even she felt that there was little chance of winning in a competition with senior students.
"Let's talk about running away. You won't lose anything if you lose anyway." Ma Xiaolong took out his textbook: "It's time to go to class, so listen carefully."
"oh."
The two classes in the morning passed quickly, and the big break came.
After the senior students finished their recess exercises, no one left. About twenty tall and tall boys came out and looked at Ma Xiaolong, who was led by Sun's class, with a relaxed expression.
He is worthy of being the tallest among the senior primary school students. None of them is less than 1.6 meters tall, and three of them are even over 1.7 meters tall. Although Ma Xiaolong has kept up with his nutrition since his rebirth, he is still considered tall among his peers.
But now he is only 1.43 meters tall. Standing among these senior students, he stands out from the crowd.
Although he was full of confidence in him, Sun Ban couldn't help but sweat when he saw this scene.
Because it was not a formal competition, the physical education teacher in charge of supervision simply asked more than 20 people to stand in front of the starting line and said: "If you touch the opposite wall, you will finish the race. Everyone, get ready, run!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ma Xiaolong rushed out like a little cheetah, leaving the senior students far behind, and was the first to touch the wall and complete the game.
"Fuck!" The senior students, whether they were watching or competing, all screamed instinctively.
The teachers were all stunned and couldn't believe what they saw. The students in the lower grades actually outperformed the students in the upper grades!?
Teacher Liu, who was against Sun Ban yesterday, was completely shattered: "This is impossible! I can't accept it!"
Sun Ban's face was flushed with excitement. Hearing Teacher Liu's collapsed words, he chuckled: "Teacher Liu, please accept."
The principal who was not far from the playground saw this scene, smiled slightly, turned and went to the office.
[The mission is completed, please choose the mission reward: 10 skill points or 1 attribute point. 】
"I want attribute points." After saying this, Ma Xiaolong received a reward of 1 attribute point, and then added this 1 point to his intelligence.
Well, a little smarter again.
At the end of April, Ma Xiaolong passed the midterm exam and obtained 6 skill points and 2 attribute points. Ma Xiaolong still added 2 points to his intelligence.
With 14 points of intelligence, Ma Xiaolong's brain thinking became much more flexible, and his memory was also much better. He could memorize the text that needed to be memorized after reading it once, and he could memorize it after reading it twice.
Ma Xiaolong patted his forehead. If he had known earlier, he would have increased his intelligence earlier.
After the midterm exam, Ma Xiaolong got the good news that he was successfully selected as this year's three best students in the city.
Although he was only given a certificate and a badge, and no half-cent reward, it was a glorious addition to his student's resume.
Ma Xiaolong made a lot of money, and his family was not very happy, but receiving the certificate of the city's three best students made the whole family very happy. His grandma even asked someone to put the certificate in a photo frame and show it off to everyone.
The eldest grandson is this year's three best students in the city.
Grandpa and parents are similar. Anyway, they will have a good time in the future.
…
On May 1st, the third episode of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" was put on sale in major bookstores across the country, once again triggering a sales frenzy.
But this was just the beginning, and an unexpected surprise soon came.
In mid-May, booksellers from Hong Kong, Taiwan and Southeast Asia came to the publishing house one after another to buy the copyright of this comic. Among them, booksellers from Taiwan were the most active and even offered a 12% copyright fee.
Ma Xiaolong received a call from the editor-in-chief of the publishing house. After learning about the situation, he immediately expressed his willingness to meet and discuss with booksellers in Taiwan.
So the next day, a fat middle-aged man with glasses came to the town where Ma Xiaolong lived and met at a restaurant.
This time, Bruce Ma not only brought Johnson Ma, but also Lingling Zhu.
Lingling Zhu was even more clever and brought in the legal affairs of Linglong Clothing because he has experience in dealing with overseas legal provisions and can avoid Ma Xiaolong from being cheated to the greatest extent.
The bookseller never dreamed that the cartoonist of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" would actually be a 9-year-old child. What he didn't expect was that the landlady and legal representative of the well-known Linglong Clothing in the Mainland would be present. This made the bookseller confused.
Cold sweat, Yali Mountain is big.
Originally, he had indeed prepared a deceptive contract, but when faced with the shrewd and wise eyes of the legal affairs officer, he decisively gave in and came up with the most sincere contract.
The legal officer read the contract carefully, asked for a few more details, and then nodded to Lingling Chu.
Zhu Lingling narrowed her eyes and smiled, rubbed Ma Xiaolong's hair, and said: "You are so big-hearted that you actually sold the distribution rights of Xiangjiang and Southeast Asia. Aren't you afraid of suffering a loss?"
"Isn't my sister-in-law helping me with this?" Ma Xiaolong flattered him obediently: "I'm sure I won't suffer any loss."
"That's true." Zhu Lingling nodded with a smile and said, "Sign it! No problem."
"Okay." Ma Xiaolong signed the contract, and Ma Johnson also signed as the guardian.
Seeing the black and white words on the paper, the bookseller breathed a sigh of relief and shook Ma Xiaolong's hand with a smile on his face: "Teacher Xiaolong, happy cooperation."
“A pleasure to work with.”
Ma Xiaolong also had a smile on his face. 12% of the copyright is much more generous than the publishing house. However, the publishing house is a state-owned unit and has the ability to distribute goods across the country. It is much more reliable to cooperate with than a small workshop.
However, the circulation volume in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Southeast Asia is not large, and the return to him will definitely not be lower than that in the mainland. As for why the distribution rights of such a large area are given to booksellers in Taiwan, the main reason is that mainland publishing houses do not
The resources for distributing goods in these areas are simply packaged together with booksellers in Taiwan, and they can make a little profit.
Moreover, he wanted to know what the real father of Fairy Sword would do if he saw these three comics.
It must be interesting.
…
In June, the traditional comic "Legend of Sword and Fairy" entered the Hong Kong, Taiwan and Southeast Asian markets. The exquisite painting style and the fairy tale unique to Chinese civilization instantly moved all Chinese people and triggered a sales boom. It sold out in just half a month.
One million copies, the publisher was so happy that he immediately informed Ma Xiaolong of the good news.
Ma Xiaolong was very happy and estimated that he could earn another two to three million this time.
Two to three million in 1991...don't mention money to me, I'm not interested in money.
The royalty income made Ma Xiaolong very happy, but what he was most happy about now was the results of the final exam from 2 to 3.
Not surprisingly, I got 9 skill points and 3 attribute points.
Ma Xiaolong still didn't hesitate, all three attribute points hit his intelligence.
As a result, his intelligence reached 17 points, truly entering the realm of genius.
