Chapter 5, twenty thousand
For a full two days, Ren Hao was both reminiscing about the plot of the animated version and presenting it on paper. The worldview of "DEATH NOTE" is not particularly vast, but due to the complex relationships between characters, it still requires a great deal of effort to reproduce the original version accurately, ensuring that there are no bugs.
In a few days, the demolition will take place. How much do you think our family will receive?
Alright, I have something to attend to and am about to head out, please take care of Auntie for me
Upon seeing his old friend again, Ren Hao appeared quite excited and gave Jiang Wei a hearty pat on the shoulder, saying, "You rascal, you didn't even give me a call before coming." However, reflecting on the many things he could no longer remember from the experiences of the days to come, Ren Hao felt a tinge of sentimentality.
I opened the computer that my uncle gave me, which was running the nostalgic WINDOWS 98 system, and entered the manuscript into WORD. Then, I clicked to connect to the dial-up internet and searched for Japanese animation production companies.
"Alright, let's set our goals tomorrow, and then we will pursue her relentlessly. Sigh, I can no longer be as cowardly as I was in middle school." After saying this, Ren Hao gritted his teeth and made a decision. The regrets of the past can only be compensated for in this life.
In gaining, one also experiences the loss of books
Zhuo Yuqin sighed softly with her eyes closed, her brows furrowed with worry. "There are no savings at home. Do you think this little money can buy a house?" After a pause in her tone, Zhuo Yuqin turned over and nudged her husband. "How about I borrow some from his uncle? I can pay it back once we are better off at home?"
Ren Hao was somewhat excited. Taking advantage of the fact that both of his parents had gone to work, he quickly changed his clothes and ran off to collect the money
A faint chill wafted out from the old window air conditioner, and Ren Hao, nestled under the covers, listened to his parents' quiet conversation, feeling somewhat uneasy in his heart
At this moment, Jiang Wei suddenly lowered his voice and smiled lewdly, "Remember to dress nicely when you return to school tomorrow, heh heh, there won't be many opportunities once the school uniform is issued."
Of course, he would not show his surprise on his face. He glanced over the document briefly, then calmly signed his name and handed it back to him, "Does this work for you?" The officer observed all the changes in Ren Hao's expression and couldn't help but nod in approval.
To know, based on a monthly salary of 800, the father's two-year salary is less than 20,000!
Are you at home, mouse?
The sound of his parents' snoring gradually grew louder. Ren Hao lifted the blanket and glanced towards the large bed in the room. Only then did he quietly step out into the outer room. If history had not changed, a month later, they would have purchased a small two-bedroom apartment far from the city center. Since it was essentially in the suburbs, the surrounding environment was quite poor, making it very uncomfortable to live there
Considering that if Ren Hao did not take action, the assailant would likely open fire, thereby threatening the lives of the public, the higher authorities awarded a reward of 20,000 yuan.
Night falls
Ren Hao focused his gaze and was taken aback, as the amount of the prize written in black and white on the paper was actually twenty thousand yuan
The phone rang
At the bottom of the webpage, he found the email address of the Japanese BANDAI headquarters. In his eagerness for money, Ren Hao did not care whether they could understand Chinese and directly sent the script over.
Ren Hao blinked his eyes and asked, "What does it mean?"
I am from the Public Security Bureau. The bonus has just been approved today, and I need you to come to the bureau to sign.
Calculating the amount of rice, I think it is at most less than 300,000
Why are there so many
"DEATH NOTE" was once immensely popular in Japan, spanning manga, anime, novels, and films, and it can be said that it was on fire. Ren Hao contemplated that if he were to write it directly as an anime script without the groundwork of the manga and sell it to Japan, it would surely become a huge success, and in that case, he would definitely earn no less than 300,000.
Exhale, allowing Ren Hao to disconnect from the network
On the third day, specifically August 23, Ren Hao finally completed the draft of "DEATH NOTE". Although it is still a rough outline, a simple script is sufficient for safety.
The brief discussion came to a conclusion with a heavy hum from Zhuo Yuqin
(Note: Due to the characters "死" - "亡" - "笔" - "记" being classified as illegal bytes, in order to maintain the coherence of the article, they will henceforth be replaced with "DEATH - NOTE")
Stop disgusting me
Before Ren Hao could step out of the house, he saw Jiang Wei, dressed in short sleeves, strolling into the courtyard. With his small nose and small eyes, he had a rather sly appearance. The two not only attended the same middle school but also both gained admission to the affiliated high school of the Normal University. Even many years later, their relationship remained quite close.
After taking down the name, the police officer who called Ren Hao soon came out and led him to an office
One hour later
Ren Hao turned off the computer, turned around, and picked up the old-fashioned Bu Bu Gao telephone.
After sending off Jiang Wei, Ren Hao turned on the bicycle in the front yard and pedaled towards the police station
Upon entering the house, Ren Hao could no longer contain his laughter. With this money, along with the demolition compensation, he could at least purchase a better-quality apartment. If Bandai were to adopt his animation script, it would surely bring in a substantial sum. In that case, buying a two-bedroom apartment within the Second Ring Road would not be a problem at all
Ren Hao was diligently working his brain, contemplating schemes for making money
Jiang Wei chuckled and said: "I went shopping with my mom, and we happened to pass by, so I came in to ask if you wanted to go along?" His parents run a company and are relatively wealthy
Ren Hao gained a deeper understanding of this statement
The worries of his parents were not unknown to Ren Hao; in his previous life, he was merely a student, powerless in this regard. However, things are different now. He is an adult, capable of contributing to this family.
Ring ring ring
The formalities were completed quickly. Ren Hao politely greeted several police officers before bidding farewell and returning home
If you find no issues, please sign and *draw* the book here
... ...
However, Jiang Wei's words reminded Ren Hao that now that the scar on his face is gone, it is indeed time for him to find a girlfriend
An average internet speed of 5K is indeed quite absurdly slow. After more than half an hour, Ren Hao finally set his sights on a well-established Japanese company—BANDAI.
Hello, is this classmate Ren Hao?
Ren Xueyu slowly shook his head: "The computer for my son was bought by your brother. Sigh, it always troubles others, which is not good."
"Are you pretending to be foolish?" Jiang Wei looked at him with disdain, "What did we say when we graduated? Didn't we say we would find girlfriends while in high school? With our looks, we will definitely impress those girls tomorrow. When we tell them to go east, they won't dare to go west; when we tell them to defecate, they won't dare to have diarrhea. Tsk tsk, those days..."
Who are you
Ren Hao chuckled silently, realizing that Jiang Wei was quite similar to him, both being the type of person who harbored desires but lacked the courage to act on them. He would only speak about it, but when it came to critical moments, he would immediately back down.
Usually, apart from his work at the publishing house, he enjoys spending his time watching anime and reading novels. Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind, and Ren Hao quickly turned on the desk lamp and picked up a pen and paper
