Genshin Impact: I wrote the plot into a novel to spoil the future

The next day, Lin Qiu received his royalties, which were not much, only a few tens of thousands of yuan.

This is partly because his novel currently only has the first act, with limited content, hence the low price.

They will release another combined edition after the Mondstadt chapter is finished to make money.

No, it's not about making money; it's about making things convenient for readers.

On the other hand, it's because Lin Qiu is, after all, a newcomer.

Steambird also didn't expect the sales to be so good; the total number of copies printed at the time wasn't that many.

We are currently reprinting the first act urgently, and plan to release it along with the reprinted first act when the second act is released.

"You've made a fortune! Shouldn't you treat us to a meal?"

Lin Qiu thought for a moment and decided that he should invite his friends who usually helped him.

After arriving in Fontainebleau, he threw parties every other day; he was practically a party king.

Just as Lin Qiu was lost in thought, there was a knock on the door, and it was Clarinde who came in.

Although Lin Qiu now knows the other party, this is the first time that Clorinde has come to his house.

"What's wrong?" Lin Qiu asked curiously.

In his opinion, Clarinde wouldn't come looking for him for no reason; she wasn't that kind of person.

As expected, Clarinde came to see him because she had something to discuss.

"Mr. Lin Qiu, what are your hobbies?" Klorinde asked directly.

This puzzled Lin Qiu. Why did Clarinde need to know about his hobbies?

Lin Qiu wasn't a narcissistic person, and he thought about why Clarinde asked that question.

First, if we rule out the possibility that the other person likes us, then there are basically only two possibilities left.

One reason is to gather information about herself, which is Clarinde's official business.

Another type is asking on behalf of someone else, which falls under the category of personal matters.

It's unlikely; Clarinde isn't a very sociable person.

Moreover, the other party's attitude seemed to be that they were just doing a job.

After thinking it over, Lin Qiu thought of someone.

If this is a task given to her by Funina, then it falls under official business.

But why does Fulina want to know what I like?

Did she find out I was secretly watching her every day, and that's why she's unhappy?

Are you planning to mess with me over something I like?

Although Funina isn't the type to hold grudges, she does do a lot of funny things.

The traveler almost fell into a trap when he first arrived, but Linni saved him.

Lin Qiu found these girlish traits quite cute, but she didn't want to be pranked.

“I like the Fish Singing School,” Lin Qiu replied.

Go ahead, go report it. I'll never eat this stuff in my life. Let's see how you deal with me.

Clarind nodded. "Thank you for letting me know. Goodbye."

In fact, Furna did not intend for Clorind to ask her directly; she wanted Clorind to investigate.

However, Clarinde felt that what she liked was not exactly a secret.

Since you know the person in question, why not just ask them directly?

Sure enough, Lin Qiu decisively told him what his preferences were, and now he could go back and report.

Clarinde never expected that Lin Qiu would like this dish.

She, a native of Fontainebleau, couldn't get used to the food. Is she really worthy of being a Liyue person?

"Wait a minute, I'm planning to throw a celebration party, are you coming?" Lin Qiu called out to Clarinde, who was about to leave.

"..." Clarinde hesitated for a moment, not answering immediately, but instead asking, "Is Navia participating?"

“I haven’t asked yet, but I think Navia will participate,” Lin Qiu said.

He considered himself to have a pretty good relationship with Navia.

If I were to throw a celebration party, Navia would definitely be there.

Navia might even want to pay the bill.

However, Lin Qiu has money this time, so Navia doesn't need to pay. Maybe next time, definitely next time.

Claudia nodded. "Okay, I'll participate."

Then Clarinde asked where the party was being held and then prepared to leave.

Complete the task assigned by Funina first, report back, and then participate.

"Ah? It's Ms. Klorinde and Teacher Qiu Cheng. Ms. Klorinde is here too?"

Before Clarinde had left, another person arrived.

The person who came was Charlotte. She came looking for Lin Qiu, but she didn't expect to run into Clarinde.

"Huh? Navia isn't here?"

Charlotte thought Clarinde had come with Navia.

Lin Qiu didn't answer Charlotte, but instead asked, "Charlotte? What brings you here?"

"But you've come at the perfect time. I was just about to go to the Steambird Newspaper to look for you."

"Looking for me? What a coincidence, I was just looking for you too." Charlotte chuckled.

Lin Qiu mentally complained:

What day is it today? Why are all these people I never see coming to see me? Do they know I get paid for my writing today and are trying to freeload off me?

He was just venting; actually, he was quite happy that these people came.

Doesn't this save me the trouble of going to find them myself? It saves time and effort.

"It's like this, Mr. Qiu Cheng. I'm here today because of your novel."

"The story from the novel actually happened in real life! This is huge news!"

“I have to go to Mondstadt, so I plan to pay for the meal I owe before I leave.”

“Oh, Ms. Clorinde, please join us as well,” Charlotte said.

It turns out that although she was a day later than the others, she also received the information today.

It just so happens that most of the news she had collected had already been published.

Next, I plan to go to Mondstadt to cover this event.

Before leaving on my long trip, I wanted to make sure I treated Lin Qiu to the meal I owed her.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned.

Lin Qiu was planning to throw a celebration party, which would probably cost a lot of money, and it wouldn't be appropriate for Charlotte to pay for it.

“Clorinde will be there too, but it’s my treat,” Lin Qiu said.

"Teacher Qiu Cheng is treating us? Why?"

Charlotte was puzzled. Although Lin Qiu wasn't stingy, he wasn't exactly the type to treat people to meals either.

"Hmph." Lin Qiu chuckled smugly. "My royalties have arrived, a full several hundred thousand!"

He used to be very close to Navia, and many people in Fontainebleau thought he was a gigolo.

Now who can still call him a gigolo!

Besides, if we have to say that someone is a kept man, then the first one is Walnut, and Navia can only be ranked second.

Unfortunately, neither of the two people in front of her were surprised by Lin Qiu's manuscript fee. No, it was Clarinde who was surprised.

"So little?" Clarind looked slightly surprised, her brows furrowing.

She even suspected that Steambird Newspaper had deliberately withheld Lin Qiu's payment for his article, and wondered if she should seek justice for her friend.

In her opinion, Lin Qiu's book was quite good, and there were many people queuing up on the release date, so why was the royalties so low?

"Uh... there will be more." Lin Qiu's arrogance vanished.

Charlotte didn't react much; she already knew how much Lin Qiu's royalties were and why they were so low.

However, she did not know that Lin Qiu had received his royalties today, and she was even more surprised that Lin Qiu was planning to treat everyone.

"Oh? In that case, does that mean I can't treat everyone?"

Is there some kind of causal mechanism behind my decision to treat others? It seems that whenever I want to treat others, some unexpected situation will inevitably occur that prevents me from doing so.

Character Voice - Lin Qiu: Regarding royalties

"Don't be fooled by my high current royalties. In the beginning, I only earned a few hundred thousand yuan a month. I was really down on my luck."

Chapter 26 Chiori's JK

Clarinde and Charlotte have walked right into the trap.

Xie Ni and the others can't come today because they don't have time off.

Lin Qiu only knew Chiori and Navia left in Fontainebleau.

Just as I was deciding whether to go find Navia or Chiori first, there was another knock on the door.

"I'll open the door."

Charlotte took the initiative to speak, got up to open the door, and Lin Qiu followed behind her.

The door opened, revealing a cold face that resembled Clarinde's.

The difference is that Clarinde is aloof, while the person in front of her is not aloof, but rather indifferent.

"Miss Chiori?" Just like that, Chiori arrived.

Charlotte was surprised. Why was even Miss Chiori coming to see Lin Qiu? When did they meet?

Chiori didn't attend their last dinner party, so Charlotte doesn't know that Lin Qiu and Chiori know each other.

Charlotte?

Chiori stood at the door and looked at the two of them. She hadn't expected to see Charlotte at Lin Qiu's house.

She wouldn't be surprised if it were Navia.

"It seems I came at the wrong time."

"No, you've come at the perfect time. I was just about to go find you."

Lin Qiu was delighted. He was still debating who to visit first, and was too lazy to make the trip, but the other party had come to him of their own accord.

"Is that so? Then I'll just say it directly."

Chiori didn't stand on ceremony and took something out of the Eye of God, saying:

"I've made the design you drew for me before."

This was drawn by Lin Qiu when he went to Qianzhi to design a swimsuit last time.

It's a dark blue JK uniform, leaning more towards a Western style. I don't need to say more about its intentions, right?

Lin Qiu kept giving thumbs up, "You're really amazing, you finished it so quickly."

"It's so well made, wow, the workmanship and the fabric, it must be comfortable and good-looking to wear."

"Would you like to try it on?" Chiori asked, staring at Lin Qiu.
