#188 - Back to school
After returning to campus, whether it was Liang Yue's imagination or not, he felt that the moment he stepped into the school gate, his originally somewhat restless heart immediately calmed down.
Perhaps this was the unique charm of a place dedicated to education.
Looking at the crowds of chattering peers bustling around, Liang Yue, who had just finished a half-year journey in another world, suddenly felt a sense of fulfillment and tranquility in his heart.
This feeling was as if the previous dwarf expedition, dragon slaying, battles with orcs, military service, magic, the Dark Lord Sauron, and other personal experiences were all just unexpected interludes.
Like a summer camp that was unexpectedly added to his life, now that this journey was over, the campus life before him was the main theme of his life.
He was now simply returning to his normal rhythm of life.
With this thought in mind, Liang Yue immediately felt as if he had seen through many things, his mood was relaxed, and his thoughts were clear. He wouldn't dare say that he had completely cleared up the aftereffects of excessive killing, but he felt much more relaxed.
...
"What's wrong?"
After pushing the door open and entering the classroom, Liang Yue clearly felt that the eyes of the classmates suddenly focused on him, filled with a strong sense of heat.
Although, in this guy's heart, he had always felt that he was the main character, and becoming the focus of the class was only a matter of course, the current situation was obviously a bit abnormal.
So, after sitting down in his usual seat, Liang Yue subconsciously turned to Sam and Holland, who were sitting behind him, looking at him with equally enthusiastic eyes, and asked about the reason.
"You don't know!?"
Holland looked at him with a shocked expression.
"Oh my God! Your novel has made it onto the North American bestseller list, Liang Yue, the one called 'A Song of Ice and Fire'! The original author doesn't even know?"
Sam also had the same expression at this time, looking at him like livestock, as if he wanted to swallow him in one bite.
"Oh, you're talking about the bestseller thing, I know about that. Actually, the publisher sent me an email about it a week ago.
By the way, they also settled my royalties for the previous few weeks."
Liang Yue immediately reacted when he heard this, but when he talked about this matter, this guy's expression didn't change at all.
There was nothing he could do. He had an independent world as a logistics base, and he usually used gold as currency in the various worlds.
Now, his account just had a bunch of extra numbers...
"Hmm? The royalties have already arrived?"
"Ahem~, is it convenient to say how much money there is?"
In fact, relative to the bestseller thing, what Sam and Peter valued more was naturally the US dollars represented behind that list.
After all, Holland was originally a child from a poor family. His parents died, and he had been living in his aunt May's house since he was a child.
Then, in a pile of second-hand goods that could almost be used as scrap iron, Sam miraculously chose Bumblebee and, incidentally, got Megan as his girlfriend…
"Probably a few hundred thousand, my book is selling pretty well."
"Oh my God, I estimate that I won't be able to earn that much money in half my life, Liang Yue."
"In a few months, it'll be a lifetime, Sam, and~ me too…"
"…Haven't you ever thought about doing something with that money?"
"Yes, I wanted to buy a piece of land before, but later I found that the farms and ranches near New York are too expensive, not to mention the manors, so I have to continue to earn money."
"…Ahem~, well, since your novel is on the North American bestseller list, and it's said that the word-of-mouth is very good, and it will continue to sell well in the future, shouldn't we celebrate it?"
"Yes! We should definitely celebrate!"
Saying that, Sam and Holland looked at Liang Yue, their eyes full of anticipation.
…What else could Liang Yue say at this time?
He could only pretend to have an expression of "Oh~ that's a great idea, my old buddies~" and say to these two fools.
"Then~ how about this Saturday? You come to my house, I'll treat you, and call a few more classmates!"
"Yeah yeah! Don't worry, Liang Yue, I will definitely call a few more good friends to congratulate you!"
"Don't forget to prepare more delicious food!"
"It's too troublesome to prepare food when there are too many people, especially Chinese food. Why don't we just eat barbecue at that time? Beef, mutton, seafood, etc., and then I'll prepare some mead."
"Yes! That's how it should be, Liang Yue! I can't wait!"
"Great, I like it!"
...
After finishing a day of classes, Liang Yue didn't even have time to report to the swordsmanship club, and Elizabeth directly dragged him out of the classroom to go shopping.
However, the reason this girl used was also very legitimate.
That is, to take him to order a few handmade suits in order to cope with the opening banquet of the Stark Group in a few days.
Speaking of which, after experiencing half a year of training in the Hobbit world, Liang Yue had grown taller again at this time, but the increase was not very large, only four centimeters, and basically all of it was in his legs.
Under this circumstance, most of the clothes he bought before could still be worn.
And Liang Yue also had a feeling that his current height had basically reached its limit, and if there were no uncontrollable factors involved, it should not change again in a short time.
In addition, he was relatively wealthy at the moment, so buying clothes was indeed something that should be included in the normal shopping procedure.
In this way, holding Elizabeth's little hand, he strolled on the street for a few hours, and also under the suggestion of this blonde girl, Liang Yue measured his figure size in a tailor shop and placed an order for three suits.
After finishing, the sky had already darkened, and the two naturally walked into a restaurant, listening to music, and started a romantic dinner.
