ใใAccording to Cecil, the IP address of the computers he modified wouldnโt be detected by anyone, and he even added some features. Although Yi Ti didnโt understand all of them, itโs still amazing. She thought that if he could become a human figure (of course not the professor from before), based on his skills, he could go to major companies and apply for a job. But if thatโs the case, they might not have met.ย
ใใAfter quickly applying for a new QQ account and calling it Long XiaoTian (Yi Ti: QAQ), Yi Ti silently issued a group request.ย
ใใAlmost immediately, the whole group saw her applicationโโ

ใใLooking at the dozens of comments on the screen, Yi Ti couldnโt help but pour tears of grief.ย
ใใSoon, she received notification that sheโd joined the group.ย
ใใOnly after she entered did she get bombed by comments. After waiting for the enthusiasm of this group to stop, Yi Ti finally managed to say somethingโโ
ใใLong XiaoTian (XXOOXXOO) 16:32:35
ใใHello everyone.ย
ใใShadowย (XXOOXXOO) 16:32:40
ใใ(shock) it isnโt really the authorโs younger brother, right?ย

ใใโฆโฆ
ใใThen there were a few minutes of +1s which occupied a large area, Yi Ti looked at the chat window and moved past it. She just felt it’s creepy, why did she find those few words so terrible?ย
ใใWith the call of everyone, the author finally came.ย
ใใAggregate (XXOOXXOO) 16:39:05
ใใI drank too much yesterday, everyone wanted to speak to me, canโt it wait for later? (picking oneโs teeth)
ใใYi Ti saw the author, then chose a private chat. In short, she talked about how she wanted to make the book written by Aggregate into a comic book and if it’s possible to get authorization. She remembered seeing in the group chat that the contract from Weifeng website is relatively loose. All that was signed was the electronic copyright of the text, and the remaining copyrightโฆโฆsuch as Traditional Chinese Publishing, Simplified Chinese Publishing, adaptation to film and television, etc are still in the hands of the author himself, so they could only seek opportunities.ย
ใใOf course, if they looked for the author himself, there’s no need to give the website any money; if they looked for the author through the website, they would charge a certain percentage.ย
ใใIn various ways, itโs regarded as the conscience clause.ย
ใใYi Ti was a little nervous when she wrote. Aggregate himself said that this story is not for making money. She guessed that he wouldnโt be moved by the financial gains. But soon, facts proved that her fears were redundantโโ
ใAggregate 16:54:27
ใใSeeing that your name is so cool, your drawing must be good. Alright, Iโll hand it over to you. (digging his nose)
ใใLong XiaoTian 16:55:34
ใใThat means I have the authorization?ย
ใใAggregate 16:55:45
ใใYes, I’ll trouble you to make the extra effort. Remember to emphasize the domineering side of my protagonist. (scratching my foot)
ใใLong XiaoTian 16:55:53
ใใIn fact, thereโs already a picture of the protagonist. Aggregate, do you want to see it?ย
ใใAfter getting the answer, Yi Ti sent out the pictures that had been automatically saved to the computer. Aggregate didnโt speak after reading it. After a while, she found that he actually posted this picture in the group chat. After a brief silence in the group, there was a rush of comments, almost all praises. Aggregateโs words are mixed in like a stone washed away by flowing water or like a bubble bursting.ย
ใใYi Ti, “โฆโฆ”ย
ใใAt this time, a message came again in the private chat.ย
ใใAggregate 16:55:45
ใใLook, everyone liked it, so you can continue with peace of mind. (laugh)
ใใLong XiaoTian 16:55:45
ใใOkay! Thank you Aggregate.ย
ใใAfter that, Yi Ti silently shut down QQ.ย
ใใCecil looked at her, then asked, somewhat surprised, “What happened?”ย ย
ใใ “Noโฆโฆ” she also didnโt understand her own mood. She then answered,ย “How to say it? Iโm a little happy, but also a little embarrassedโฆโฆ” Sheโs happy that she got the approval of her favorite author, but it felt embarrassing, “Cecil, is it really okay for me to continue?”ย ย
ใใ “Xiao Ti,” The jelly alien who seemed to understand her mood said, “In the universe, many people use similar instruments to make movies. Showing your imaginary story to others is legal.”ย ย
ใใ “Really?”ย ย
ใใ “Yeah.” Cecil, sitting in Yi Tiโs arms, nodded his head and continued, “and, even if itโs the same text, different people would also imagine completely different images. This image is like this because this is what you imagined. In a sense, you are indeed the author. Also, you arenโt thinking about receiving benefits, right?”ย ย
ใใ “โฆโฆjust as you said.”ย ย
ใใCecilโs words are like a light that made Yi Ti find a way out of her dilemma. Indeed, she never thought about making money from the comics from the beginning. She just wanted toโฆโฆshare it to Aggregate and the people who liked this novel to let them experience the joy of “turning text to a picture” together.ย
ใใ “Cecil, thank you.” Yi Ti held up the big pudding in her arms, raising him to eye-level, “Having you is really great!”ย
ใใ “โฆโฆ”ย
ใใ “Hu Xiu Hu Xiuโโ”ย
ใใ “Hey!”ย
ใใShe reluctantly put the blue pudding on her knees, then Yi Ti started “the journey of serialized comics”.ย
ใใI have to say, this comic thing seemed to be easy at a glance, but itโs actually quite complicated. For example, the arrangementโฆโฆshould be easy to understand. For this, Yi Ti had to open a few comics, study for a while, then thought about how to layout.ย
ใใEven so, she only spent about an hour, but she already completed a chapter.ย
ใใYi Ti took off the “headband”, then rubbed her temples. The prolonged mental focus made her a bit tired. But looking at the pictures in the computer, she felt her heart fill with satisfaction, thereโs also the urge to post it and share it with others.ย
ใใShe quietly thought: No, need to hold back. She just got authorization. If she suddenly issued a comic of the first chapter, it’ll be bad. And, these comics, regardless of the picture itself, is also in the colored version which obviously canโt be done in a short time.ย
ใใThe arrival of Liang Chen saved her from this entanglement.ย
ใใSince the conclusion of the “transaction”, he would personally send her lunch and dinner every day. Of course, occasionally, if she wanted to cook for herself, Yi Ti would call to inform the other party. Although sometimes, sheโd get the contempt of the other party, saying something like “Is pig feed really so memorable?”โฆโฆbut Yi Ti knew he just had a bad mouth. Not only are the dishes always good in quality and quantity, but itโs also packed in home-use lunchboxes.ย
ใใLunch delivery is usually around 1:00. Although itโs still at peak hours, itโs much better than at 11 or 12 oโclock. Dinner is usually around 6:30.ย
ใใWhen itโs time, she would get the food from the young man and then Yi Ti would hand over the cleaned lunchbox from before, “Smells good, is it stewed pork today?” The bag is also filled with flowers, and this had been the case from the first day. The reason she gave is “you can put it in the store as decoration”. Although Liang Chen initially muttered several times, he did not refuse.ย
ใใAfter once or twice, it became a rule.ย
ใใLiang Chen, who was about to leave, gave her a look, “Are you in a good mood today?”ย ย
ใใ “Yup.”ย Yi Ti admitted unabashedly.ย
ใใShe made a potion and successfully sold it, bought energy blocks for Cecil, and even talked with her favorite author. These are all good things, so how can her mood be bad?ย
ใใ “Youโre laughing like a fool.”ย ย
ใใ “โฆโฆ” Although sheโs used to this guyโs poison tongue, how to say it? Sheโs not a trembling M. She got used to it, but sheโll never like it. But Yi Ti was reminded of another thing, “Right, Liang Chen, do you know how to get the documents for opening the shop?” After everything is on the right track, Yi Ti thought she should continue to open her masterโs shop. Abandoning it would be too wasteful.ย
ใใ “9:30 tomorrow morning.”ย ย
ใใ “โฆโฆah?” Yi Ti was stunned, then reacted, “Are you taking me there?”ย ย
ใใThe other party impatiently turned around, saying in a malicious voice, “Less of your unrequited love, Iโll just take you there, thatโs all! If you dare oversleep, go hungry for three days!”ย
ใใYi Ti, “โฆโฆ” In this life, she guessed that heโll only have male friends.ย
conscience clause,ย it’s usually used in the medical field. Basically, anyone involved in medical practice could refuse to treat patients because of their religion or conscience. In this case, the author could refuse anyone to copy, publish, or adapt their content based on their personal preference.
