“Hmm, confidence is a good thing! You have the QQ of the signing editor Lily, right? Go find Lily, ask her for the contract, and send the contract over tomorrow. Once the contract is mailed, I’ll contact you to publish the book. On the first day, upload twenty to thirty thousand words. Today is Friday, so if you mail the contract tomorrow, it’ll arrive in two days. Although the recommendation is scheduled for Wednesday, we can still review it on Friday. You publish the book on Friday, and next week I’ll get you a category cover recommendation to test the results. I feel your book really has selling points. As long as you maintain the quality of these first few chapters, there’s no doubt it’ll be a hit.”

Editor Ruby spoke enthusiastically, and had already made preliminary decisions about the upcoming recommendations and advertising.

If things go well, Ruby even set the launch date for this “Castle in the Sky” around September 5th, aiming to compete for the monthly ticket rankings.

Since today is already the 6th, a two-day delay would be the 9th. If the contract arrives on the 9th, from August 9th to early September, that’s about a month of advertising for the new book.

After discussing these matters, Ethan Bolton went to the signing editor Lily to get the electronic version of the contract and the attached statement. Then he prepared two copies each of the printed ID photocopy and the book outline, printed out the contract with a printer, organized everything together, and bound them.

After finishing all this, Ethan Bolton once again deleted a large batch of QQ friends, then went offline.

After going offline, Ethan Bolton remembered that fleeting thought in his mind, poured a little brown sugar on the ground, and waited silently.

There were no mosquitoes in the room, and Ethan Bolton had already done many experiments with mosquitoes before, but none had succeeded, nor did he feel any change in the white crystal and the mist inside the space between his brows.

At this moment, Ethan Bolton was dealing with ants!

What he was thinking of were two possibilities: one was the kind of devouring by eating alive, and the other was to use his mind to devour it into that crystal space between his brows!

Chapter 6: Devouring and Absorbing the Power Talent of Ants!

This may sound a bit strange, but the fact is that there is a space about three meters in length, width, and height inside that crystal between his brows! This really exists, and if he could get something into that space, it should have an effect!

The first method was to swallow it into his stomach. He had previously swallowed plants and live meat and so on, but none had any effect! Now, he waited. Because of the sweet food, after half an hour, a small earth-yellow ant slowly crawled over. After waiting a moment, Ethan Bolton reached out his finger, gently pinched it up, and tossed it directly into his mouth...

After a while, there was no change at all.

“Looks like eating isn’t the way...”

He shook his head helplessly. A little ant less than four millimeters long—there was no sensation at all in his mouth, not even enough to get stuck between his teeth.

In the distance, another slightly larger earth-yellow ant crawled over, moving a bit faster, its tiny antennae occasionally rubbing together.

This little ant was about five millimeters long and looked quite robust.

Thinking for a moment, Ethan Bolton looked into the distance again, where there were two more little yellow ants about four millimeters long.

He kept the five-millimeter-long ant, pinched another ant in his hand, placed it on his brow, and pressed it inward, but still nothing happened.

He caught another one, pinched it in his hand, and tried to attract it with his mind—again, no effect!

After thinking for a bit and pondering, Ethan Bolton calmed down, then began to visualize the universe as a background and started cultivating. At the same time, his subconscious tracked the position of the remaining five-millimeter-long ant. As his mental power surged, Ethan Bolton suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze sharp, locking onto the little ant next to the brown sugar granules.

“Whoosh—”

Very clearly, the space seemed to tremble, and that ant suddenly vanished without a trace.

At this moment, Ethan Bolton’s vision went black. With the sudden burst of mental power, his brain felt as if it had been slammed by a door, the pain almost unbearable.

But in the next moment, the feeling disappeared, and at the same time, he felt that the space between his brows seemed to be trembling!

Almost instantly, Ethan Bolton quickly went to the bathroom mirror, turned on the light, and carefully examined his brow.

From the outside, there was no change at all. So, Ethan Bolton immediately immersed his senses into his brow, and his mind instantly entered a dreamlike world!

That feeling of delving deep into a dream appeared once again. This time, after sensing the crystal space, Ethan Bolton was slightly stunned—the five-millimeter-long ant had become enormous, like a towering giant beast. The three-meter-long, wide, and high space could barely contain the ant’s body!
