Chapter 207

"Survivorship bias."

Classmate Tengyuan Kui suddenly realized:

"Yes, yes, yes, that's it!"

Xiyuanji Qilai nodded with a smile.

"Although I didn't expect the truth of the legend about the cherry blossom tree to be like this..."

"But no matter what, the first topic of our Collection Force has been successfully completed."

"The great contributors this time are Natsume-kun and Classmate Tengyuan."

"If it weren't for you finding Teacher Dazhong and asking about these past events, we might have been busy in vain for a long time."

Classmate Tengyuan Kui smiled shyly:

"It's not that exaggerated."

"But on the way to find the history teacher, I really almost wanted to give up."

"He... is really elusive, too hard to find."

Natsume Chikage smiled helplessly.

"I feel the same way."

Xiyuanji Qilai remembered the appearance of the two running to the library to ask people while sweating profusely before, and couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

At this time, she suddenly thought of something and asked:

"By the way, is everyone free tomorrow?"

"Shall we organize the materials collected this time in the club room, or... go out together to gather material?"

Classmate Tengyuan Kui's wheat-colored cheeks flushed slightly.

Tomorrow is the "date" preparation day with Natsume-kun in the plan, how could she come to club activities!

She coughed twice and said shyly:

"I... have to work tomorrow. Let's do it next time."

Natsume Chikage also nodded.

"Me too."

Xuecun Lingyin still didn't raise her head.

"I have arrangements too."

Xiyuanji Qilai's small mouth pouted slightly, somewhat disappointed.

"Okay..."

Afterward, the four ended the first formal club activity of the Collection Force in idle chatter.

Shibuya.

The glass curtain wall of the towering office building reflected the slanting afternoon sunlight.

Elevator lobby.

Natsume Chikage looked down at the manuscript in the brown kraft paper document bag in his hand, his heart aching slightly.

Printing this 150,000-word novel really cost him a significant amount of money.

Ding—

The elevator doors slid open to both sides.

What came into view was the huge, well-designed Logo of "Midnight Publishing House".

Natsume Chikage took the document bag and walked to the front desk.

"Hello, may I ask..." The female clerk at the front desk raised her head, and the moment she saw Natsume Chikage, her eyes clearly brightened, and her tone became more enthusiastic, "Is there anything I can do for you?!"

Natsume Chikage spoke calmly.

"Hello, I am Natsume Chikage, I had an appointment before, and I am here to submit a manuscript today."

"Okay! May I ask which editor you made an appointment with?"

"Mr. Gao Qiaojun."

"Understood. I have already notified Editor Gao Qiao for you, please sit in the reception area over there for a moment, he will be here soon."

"Thank you." ===== CHAPTER 208 =====
