Chapter 26: Revenge against society
"'The Lonely Gourmet'..."
Oliana repeated the name softly, as if the word had supernatural powers. She felt that this idea was really great. Was he really the son of Ian Gray's family? Even though it was rumored that Reiner was indulging in pleasure and good for nothing, it seemed that this guy had a world in his mind!
"Just a little suggestion, Ms. Oliana, you can ask the author to add the protagonist's mental activities when writing, use various metaphors to set off the food, and when the reader's imagination is stimulated to the extreme, mention the Cola again."
Reiner casually mentioned a few words. Traveling Food Reviews could easily be turned into a simple menu and would not stimulate people's appetite. Only a detailed description could make people mouth water.
"At the same time, at the beginning of every novel, we must first begin with a little story, so it would arouse readers' interests at any time. In this way, even if readers did not read the previous publications, they would not feel confused."
"I understand, I understand!"
Oliana quickly understood what Reiner meant.
"By the way, is the publication time of 'Daily Prester' every morning?"
Reiner thought of some mischief and asked.
"Well, yes, every morning, the newspaper will be delivered to the subscriber's home. Is there any problem with this?"
Oliana asked in confusion. She felt that the principal in front of her seemed to have endless ideas, and every one of them was great, and she subconsciously used a tone of asking for advice.
"No, there is nothing wrong with it."
Reiner thought for a while and decided not to interfere too much with the other party's operations, otherwise, he would like to publish the newspaper at night, so that when people read novels at night, it would leave a much deeper impression in their minds.
"Can you find the right person to write?"
"Of course, our contracted authors were originally good at writing short stories that happened in cities. But because of the popularity of adventure themes, we also changed our writing styles. In addition, I can find Baron Goode as a consultant for food. You probably don't know Cola has cured his anorexia. He is now living a comfortable life every day."
Oliana said excitedly, wishing to leave immediately and go back to work on these things.
"Should we draft a contract?"
Reiner stood up when he saw that the other party had been basically convinced by himself.
"Okay, I have a draft here."
Obviously, Oliana came prepared. She took out a standardized cooperation agreement from the bag, and only needed to change a part of it.
In the end, they used "Daily Prester" to promote Cola in "the Lonely Gourmet" serialization, and Reiner reached an agreement on the terms of paying the advertising costs according to the most favorable standard. After calculating it, Reiner only needed to pay five silver coins every month to get good publicity, which could be considered a good deal.
It must be said that Claire could easily finish a meal that cost ten silver coins.
Before leaving, Oliana visited her daughter, but Reiner did not accompany her and only let Claire go with her.
Sitting in the principal's office, Reiner still had work to deal with. He first responded to the letter of the "Monthly Alchemist Griffin", expressing his willingness to publish it, and then wrote a letter to Antoine. The content of the letter was simple.
He simply told Antonie that he could start massively producing Cola.
......
One day later, on the campus of Luna Nova Magical Academy.
Evanna ended the day of study. To be precise, it was a lesson on the history of magic, a lesson on the basic theory of magic, and two self-study classes. After dinner, she returned to her bedroom.
Her roommate Sharon has not yet returned from the library. Since Sharon went to the principal's office that day, the hard-working girl has worked even harder, returning from the library almost every day before the lights were turned off.
Evanna was naturally very supportive of this. She knew that Sharon's family background, and only by becoming an excellent mage, could she escape the predicament.
Evanna took a hot bath, changed into her pajamas, and then picked up the copy of "Daily Prester" in her hand.
Her mother was the editor-in-chief of this newspaper, so theoretically, she would also become the editor-in-chief of this newspaper in the future. From a young age, Evanna has been cultivated with a keen intuition as a reporter. She herself also liked related things. Even though she came to school to learn magic, she also subscribed to this newspaper for learning.
Of course, Evanna also knew that her newspaper was facing a crisis. Many of the original co-authors have submitted to other publication houses. The content of the newspaper has become dull and boring. Although her mother has never told her, she was able to see it from the content of the newspaper.
Yesterday, her mother Oliana also came to the school. As for what she did, Evanna was not clear.
With a sigh, the precocious girl opened the newspaper and did her daily reading training.
But just when she was about to skip the boring version of the novel, Evanna realized that the original long adventure story had disappeared, it was replaced by a brand new serial.
"The Lonely Gourmet?"
The title read like this, accompanied by a rather nostalgic illustration of a middle-aged gentleman walking on the street at night holding an umbrella.
With curiosity, Evanna began to read this novel.
The story was very simple. The protagonist of the novel, Baron Goode, was a person who had studied various antique treasures. He was invited and traveled frequently to various places. However, the novel only simply mentioned his background. The focus of the story was on the process of looking for delicacies in the streets after Baron Goode finished his work.
The hard work of a day was in sharp contrast with the tempting delicacies. The author spent a lot of ink describing the appearance, texture, and taste of the food, in conjunction with the protagonist's interesting inner activities, which simply made her mouth water.
At the end of the novel, the protagonist also took out a magical drink called Cola, and with just one sip, the fatigue of the whole day was dispelled. Every word and sentence of the story exceeded a relaxed and comfortable feeling.
Of course, the author had not forgotten to mark the Warren Pharmacy Store, the only designated supplier of Cola in Prester.
Evanna put down the newspaper, still in a daze, as if immersed in the quiet night and excellent food. The mysterious drink Cola made her super curious about how delicious it was to make the protagonist show that expression.
Thinking back to today's dinner, Evanna felt that her life was wasted, and her food was too rough.
Her belly growled at this moment. Evanna searched in the dormitory, but did not find any food that could satisfy her appetite, she could not even find a small slice of bread.
Late at night, alone and hungry after reading "the Lonely Gourmet", a deep resentment grew in Evanna's mind.
"What is wrong with the author of this story? Does he want to make everyone feel hungry and take revenge against society!!!"
