Chapter 63: Chapter 60 System Customization !

Translator: 549690339

Moving into the new house in Dragon River Garden, the four members of the family finally had their own bedrooms.

The younger sister could go to the study during the day to study.

Whether it was taking a bath at night or getting up in the morning to wash up, there was no longer a need to queue for the bathroom.

Most importantly, Lin Yuan’s health was improving!

This cleared away any lingering clouds from the minds of the family.

Only when there’s no burden on the heart, one could truly enjoy happiness.

However, the Spring Festival holiday was short, and Lin Xuan had to return to work after only a couple of days in the new house.

The same went for Lin Yuan.

Even though his winter holiday wasn’t over, his leave days requested from OF Zhou had reached the limit, and he had to return to work as well.

Just like his sister, under the family’s farewell and constant reminders to take his medicine on time, he set off for Su City.

At this point, major companies that had ended their year-end vacations were back in operation.

Over at Starlight, even colleagues who had gained few extra pounds due to the indulgence of the Spring Festival were back at work as well.

“How was your Spring Festival?”

Having also gained some weight during the Spring Festival, 01′ Zhou, with a pleasing belly, asked Lin Yuan who was here to resume work, looking very cheerful.

“Pretty good,”

Lin Yuan gave a standard response.

01′ Zhou nodded approvingly, looking satisfactorily at Lin Yuan: “The song ‘Balloon’ performed very well, it has now firmly secured the fifth spot for this season. You did a great job!”

“Hmm.”

Lin Yuan was as calm as usual.

01′ Zhou laughed, apparently having become accustomed to Lin Yuan’s personality and said, “All right, you go to work.”

Lin Yuan walked out of the office.

Upon reaching the music production department, his colleagues also congratulated Lin Yuan for ‘Balloon’ successfully making it to the fifth position in the highly competitive February group, which was quite impressive.

“But the management is going to be pleased this year.”

Wu Yong remarked sourly, “One of the trump cards from the 18th floor, Kong Zhen, bagged this year’s championship song. Rumor has it that he was specially mentioned in the high-level meeting today.”

Championship song?

Lin Yuan just knew about this news. No wonder Zhou looked in a good mood today—it turns out that someone from the company had won the first place in this year’s death-match group.

For Starlight, this was uplifting news.

Lin Yuan was certainly not going to feel any jealous emotions.

In fact, he even listened out of curiosity to this month’s champion song and came to a solid conclusion:

The champion fully deserved the top spot!

Lin Yuan had long become accustomed to the fact that there was no shortage of talent in Blue Star’s music world. He even enjoyed seeing such a situation, as a prosperous market was a good thing for Lin Yuan.

After work in the evening,

Lin Yuan returned home and opened the windows first for ventilation, then changed the bedding. The house, not frequently lived in, still needed a bit of tidying up.

After cleaning up the room,

Lin Yuan received a phone call.

It was a call from “YangFeng”, who immediately congratulated him, “The sales of ‘King of the Net’ are going very well. To show that the company values Teacher Chu Kuang, we have decided to offer Teacher Chu Kuang a new contract. The contract has been sent to your email. Please have a look at it.”

Like his older sister had predicted,

Silver Blue Books was really ready to give him a new contract.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yuan looked at the new contract. The royalty of the new contract had been increased from five percent to seven percent.

It didn’t seem much of an increase at first glance.

But considering the overall sales of ‘King of the Net’, the increase was quite significant, with a difference of about several hundred thousand.

Not much else had changed.

Lin Yuan even checked specially to make sure there wasn’t any clause in the contract that required the next book of Chu Kuang to be exclusively published on Silver Blue Books.

“Okay.”

Lin Yuan was happy about the pay rise.

He went straight out to print a copy of the new contract, signed it, and mailed it to Silver Blue Books. Next, he just had to wait for their signed and sealed contract in return.

Silver Blue Books was also based in Su City, so the company’s signed and sealed contract was received the very next day. This meant the new contract officially came into effect. Lin Yuan also sent the third volume of ‘King of the Net’ to “YangFeng”.

The book had a total of five volumes.

With the third volume out, it signifies the book would likely be concluded in a few months. Lin Yuan felt a little reluctant, given that he had no other full-length novels to fall back on for the moment.

“Ding Dong.”

The System always managed to anticipate his thoughts and needs, “Given that the host is now debt-free and has certain earning abilities, the System has decided to open up the customisation feature. In the future, the host can purchase necessary items from the System with money.”

Lin Yuan was taken aback, “Customisation?”

The System replied, “For example, if the host requires a novel or song of a certain genre, a certain amount of money can be used to exchange with the System. However, if the host specifically requests a certain work, the exchange price will be higher.”

“Oh.”

Lin Yuan thought for a while, and said, “That means if 1 want a song of a particular style, the System can provide the needed song according to my requirements, but there is a cost?”

“Yes.”

Lin Yuan contemplated, “For example, if I now want a rock-style song from the System, or what is called ‘customisation’—of course, this is just an example—how much would you charge?”

The System replied, “500,000.”

Lin Yuan retorted, “You’re really bleeding me dry.”

The System responded, “The exchange operates on a voluntary principle, the System will not force the host. And, the System can guarantee the quality of the song, we won’t just pass any random rock song off to the host.”

Lin Yuan did not respond directly, but asked another question, “And what about precise customisation? For example, if I specifically ask for a particular song or novel, how would you normally charge?”

“Precise customisation.”

The System answered, “That’s not uniform, it depends on which work the host specifically wants. If the host asks the System for ‘Learning to Meow’, it can be quite inexpensive, but if the host wants the System to provide those popular classics, it might range in millions or even more.”

Lin Yuan protested, “Robbery.”

But since the frequency at which the System issued tasks was very low, in order to ensure the consistency of his inventory, Lin Yuan might need to customise a few songs when necessary. Of course, not now. He wasn’t planning on casually customising any song with the System. It was best to wait till he became a senior composer in the company and received a higher profit-sharing contract…

Despite Lin Yuan grumbling about the System being a rip-off,

He also was aware in his heart that such customisation was actually profitable, almost like an investment. The only difference was that the money-making cycle might be extended. Overall, the addition of this functionality by the System was a good thing; it could solve Lin Yuan’s inventory problems.

Especially when…

In the department, when encountering orders similar to ‘Big Fish’, the System’s customisation feature was perfect for these types of orders!

However, such orders were quite rare.

Just like boss battles randomly refreshed in games, not only were they rare, but also attracted a ton of competition every time one appeared.

Indeed, life is hard, and the cat sighs..
