Chapter 33: Eighteen Years Old
After the king gradually turned around and left.
The bookstore owner's request for more deliveries of the Arcane Throne also arrived as scheduled.
Same as before.
Some people bought it directly, and some people picked up "Arcane Throne" and watched it.
Finally, it was Jack Dorsey's turn.
He picked up the last remaining copy of the batch, and couldn't help but thank the young Asian who had just left in front of him.
Wake up in time and don't buy this kind of imaginary product.
This young man is not too stupid.
Dorsey thought as he found a corner and crouched down.
When he glanced at the cover, he couldn't help but scoff.
hehe
No matter how beautiful the cover is, it can't hide the paleness of the novel's content.
When he opened the book, the wonderful feel of coated paper made him sigh again.
What a waste to print these words on such fine paper.
He pulled out the notebook he had with him, ready to look at it and write down the unreasonable parts of it.
Then, post it online.
In this way, more people can understand how rubbish this book is.
In this way, with a provocative mentality, he began to read.
The actor is crossing again?
And use this way to increase the sense of substitution, so that people can quickly imagine that they are the protagonist?
Hehe, superficial!
He first wrote in his notes.
Burning witches at the beginning?
Set the story in medieval Europe?
Sure enough, the pen is not enough, and I can't set a complete world view.
The protagonist is an orphan?
Does this author want to open an orphanage?
And then
Have a library in your head?
This one... It's kind of interesting.
Of course, it's just a little interesting.
Dorsey turned the pages intently, thinking that it still couldn't be considered serious fantasy literature.
Entering high society through music, and then being exposed to supernatural powers?
Well, it's logical, but it's not a bright spot.
It's just that the scene of listening to music is well described.
I feel like I'm going to listen to classical music.
"Huh," Dorsey's eyes suddenly lit up, "through knowledge, you can know the world, and then gain power?"
He thinks about the past when he was bullied by the school's football and basketball teams in middle school because he only loved to study and was not good at socializing.
Suddenly, I kind of wanted to watch it.
Turn resonance into magic and use the waves generated by resonance to detect your opponents?
He was a little excited to watch.
However, there seems to be something wrong with the milk I drink in the morning.
Dorsey stood up and glanced at the long queue that was still standing outside the bookstore.
He looked at the cover of the Arcane Throne written on it in his hand.
A little hesitant.
But his stomach didn't give him time to think about it, and the rolling sound became louder and louder.
"Forget it, forget it. Dorsey pulled out his wallet, took out two $20 bills, and went to check out, "I won't buy the next volume!"
Such scenes also take place in bookstores next to universities across the United States.
Most of the people who were originally critical bought a copy and went back.
On the contrary, in the slum where "I Am the Archmage" is the most popular.
Most people just look at the pricing and then turn away.
And the people who insisted on reading in the bookstore also flipped through for a while.
Put down the book, turn and leave.
As he walked, he said, "I can't stand classical music or scientific knowledge at all." ”
At this time, Wang gradually participated in his last community labor.
Those who participated in the labor with him already knew that he was the author of "I Am the Archmage".
Moreover, I also know that today is the last day of community labor.
One by one, they stepped forward and hugged Wang Yan, saying true or false blessings.
In the end, a thief even took out his camera and asked everyone to take a photo with Wang Yan.
"In this way, I can brag to others in the future, I know a great writer. The other party said.
In this way, less than 20 prisoners were arranged in two rows by their size.
And Wang gradually and the sign-in officer Lili stood in the middle of the queue.
When the shooting was over, someone suddenly said to the thief, "How do I look at this camera, it's a little familiar?"
The thief didn't speak, but secretly moved his steps outward.
Suddenly, the man shouted, "Isn't this the camera I lost the other day after I invited everyone to my house? ”
Then, he chased the thief and ran away.
In the ranks, there was a "haha" laugh.
At this time, Lily stroked the blonde hair in her ears and asked Wang Yan, "Do you know what happened tonight?"
"What's the matter?" Wang gradually faced her, still a little embarrassed, but driven by curiosity, he couldn't help asking.
"Oh, nothing. Lily seemed to notice that she had missed something, and shook her head in reply.
Wang was about to ask a question, when he suddenly saw Tom appear in front of him in the general-purpose car.
He glanced at Lily, then turned to look at the car.
After hesitating for a moment, he walked towards the sedan.
At this time, Tom looked at Wang gradually who was sitting in the co-pilot with a smile on his face and said, "The real-time data is very good. ”
"One day it hit the bestseller list and was second in the book of the month, which sold for more than $30. ”
"At the top of the list is "Roosevelt's Biography," which is composed of family interviews and various authentic historical sources. ”
"How many are there?" asked Wang gradually fastening his seatbelt.
"More than 30,000 copies," Tom replied with a smile, "and the specific data will come out tomorrow." ”
"By the way, I forgot to congratulate you, happy 18th birthday. Tom started the car and said, "Today I invite you to the restaurant." ”
Wang gradually thought for a moment and asked, "Which restaurant?"
"The Chinese restaurant you've been talking about. Tom replied.
Wang gradually nodded, and he agreed.
In this way, Tom drove to Random House first, and took the distribution of the sales area of "Arcane Throne" so far.
After that, the two drove to a fairly good Chinese restaurant near Wang Jian's house.
When Wang gradually chatted with Tom about his views on sales data and walked into the Chinese restaurant, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening.
At this moment, he already felt that he could eat a cow.
Just as Wang gradually thought about the delicious food, he walked quickly into the restaurant.
A loud "surprise" came to the ears.
Wang gradually looked at Tom beside him with a little surprise.
He turned his head again and looked inside the restaurant.
I saw Lily, the red-haired Lynn, and the frail old man appear in front of me.
Behind them, there stood a few prisoners who had just worked together this afternoon.
These people wore birthday hats and pushed a cake and slowly walked towards Wang Yan.
And Tom took two quick steps to join in.
While singing the birthday song, they looked at Wang gradually with a smile.
One of the inmates said, "Congratulations, he's finally an adult." ”
"Otherwise, it's really stressful to keep watching a little kid be better than yourself. ”
Then the crowd burst into laughter.
Maybe it's because of the recent pressure, or maybe it's because of Chinese food, Wang gradually feels a little homesick and misses his parents in the original world.
That night, he drank a lot of wine.
Of course, don't expect a bunch of prisoners to stand in the way.
In the end, under the arrangement of the red-haired woman Lynne, intentionally or unintentionally.
Lily sends Wang back to the apartment, while Lynn goes to Lily's house to look after little Jean.
At midnight, Lily was holding on to the sink in the bathroom while looking at Wang Wanshi standing behind her.
Jack Dorsey was lying on his stomach in his dormitory, looking intently at the black cover of "Arcane Throne".
And a few black guys were chatting together with "I Am the Archmage" and complaining that the author's new book was not good.
