Absolute Great Teacher

Chapter 69: Wondrous Blossom

"Uncle Zheng, there's no need to worry. I will complete writing the latter part of the story soon."

Sun Mo guaranteed.

The other party had already called him 'little friend' and he was also so generous. Hence, Sun Mo also changed his terms of address and spoke to Zheng Qingfang more respectfully.

"Alright then!"

Zheng Qingfang carefreely toasted and then continued to persuade, "However, you have to accept the ingots. Don't worry, this sum of money won't be considered in the author's remuneration. I will also print out 1,000... no, 3,000 books. At that time, when the books are sold for money, I'll deduct the capital of printing and the remainder of the money will go all to you."

"That isn't too good, right?"

Sun Mo frowned. By doing this, Zheng Qingfang would be working for free for Sun Mo.

"What's not good about it? We must let everyone read such an amazing novel. If not, it would be the same as a bright pearl covered in dust, wasting heavenly materials."

Zheng Qingfang spoke logically. As for the ingots, he didn't mention anything about them.

As a high official, Zheng Qingfang naturally didn't lack things like money. What he lacked were places to spend the ingots.

After reading Journey to the West, Zheng Qingfang instantly grew fond of the monkey king and Reverend Sanzang. If he didn't give the ingots to Sun Mo, he wouldn't be able to sleep well.

Zheng Qingfang had decided that when the printing was done, he would first send the books to his friends. If not, they would surely blame him for monopolizing such a good thing and keeping it a secret.

"Congratulations on obtaining your first loyal-to-the-death fan!"

The system teased.

"In that case, why don't you give me a reward?" Sun Mo mentally spoke. (For the next book, I'm going to write my own stuff.)

The system replied, "Heh heh."

"Alright, a man must be more direct and generous. We shouldn't be pushing a small thing like money around," said Zheng Qingfang, his tone unyielding.

Upon seeing Zheng Qingfang grow impatient and because he was giving him the ingots out of goodwill, Sun Mo raised his cup and toasted. "Alright then, thank you Uncle Zheng for your kind intentions. In that case, it would be impolite if I still refused!"

"Don't need to be so courteous and there's no need to mind your etiquette. It's too troublesome!"

Zheng Qingfang furrowed his brows as he waved his hands. "Be more free and at ease!"

What else could Sun Mo say? A loyal-to-the-death fan was simply so illogical and crazy!

From the start to the end, their topic revolved around the Journey to the West. Zheng Qingfang had the intention of digging out all the plotlines from Sun Mo.

Lu Zhiruo sat obediently at the side. She didn't interrupt and didn't even dare to breathe loudly. Only when she was pouring the wine would they be able to see her.

"Oh yes, if you want to publish it, we need to illustrate the book. Do you have any ideas on that?"

Zheng Qingfang asked.

This was his first time seeing something like this. Given the character of the master and the three disciples in the story, Zheng Qingfang was worried that the hired artist would have no way to capture the essence of the characters.

Sun Mo's mind stirred. "How many illustrations do you need?"

"It depends on the context. However, the portrait of each character is a must."
