Chapter 291: What a Big Money Cow (Asking for Tickets and Subscriptions)

Compared to many readers who go out to bookstores to buy books, Du Sheng is much luckier, he is one of the first people to pre-order "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" online.

Because he lives in a small third-tier city, he has been worried about whether the bookstore will be on the shelves on New Year's Day, so he simply participated in the pre-sale online, and saw the system's delivery reminder on the 30th.

Du Sheng is an ordinary civil servant, and he is usually very busy with work, and he is not as idle as others imagine to serve tea and read the newspaper.

In his spare time, reading books has become his greatest pastime, especially the boring life makes him yearn for those colorful and wonderful fantasy adventures.

When he saw the concept of tomb robbing, he was almost intrigued, although some of them were written in the gray area of the edge of the law, and reading e-books was not his habit, and he had to buy a lot of books every month.

Although the family felt that it was not cost-effective to buy books, Du Sheng still went his own way, and after he put on his coat, he went downstairs to the hive to get the courier back!

What could be more enjoyable than snuggling up in a heated home on a snowy day like New Year's Day?

Du Sheng opened the express delivery after dividing it by two, only to see a paperback version of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" and a poster lying inside.

He spread out the poster and looked at it, and instantly fell in love with this black city in the desert, and at first glance he knew that it was a superb ancient city!

After turning on the lights in the room, Du Sheng chose a comfortable posture and leaned back on the sofa to read.

Before, because he didn't like to read on the Internet, he listened to some audiobooks intermittently, and now he slowly read it word by word!

At first glance, most people will think that this is a supernatural ghost story, but at first glance, they are shocked, and it turns out that the so-called ghost blowing lantern is a rule of the legendary tomb robbers.

Place a candle in the southeast corner of the burial chamber, leave one or two when you take the burial goods, and if the candle is extinguished, put all the stolen treasure back in its place.

It is said that this is a custom handed down by tomb robbers, but the extinguishing of the candle indicates that there is not enough oxygen, and there is some scientific basis.

The culture of tomb robbing is esoteric and mysterious, and it is rarely unknown to outsiders.

A glimpse of leopard spotted cannot tell the full details, so not many people in society pay attention to this industry. However, it does not mean that it is not important, the treasure of the country, seven or eight times out of ten, comes from this!

……

A piece of express delivery to Yanjing as the center to all parts of the country, New Year's Day basically all have been delivered, only the most remote places will wait until January 2.

More and more people are immersed in the world of tomb robbery woven by Zhang Chu, and only one sales figure after another can show how powerful the book really is.

With such an explosion at the beginning of the year, it is no wonder that "Open Book", a professional provider of data and information services in the book industry, gave "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" a big poison, saying that the book has the hope of competing for the first place in the annual list.

On the first day of listing, "Ghost Blows the Lantern" released a big satellite and topped the book sales list on the first day of the new year, leaving behind the second place!

……

On the afternoon of January 2, the General Administration of the General Administration of the News and Edition announced the sales of various books on the New Year's Day on its official website, which directly stunned onlookers.

Many people thought that this would be a period of chaotic battles during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, but as a result, "Ghost Blowing Lantern: The Essence of the Ancient City" sprung up and directly crushed the rest of the works!

"Academy of Magic 5" is in third place, it has sold more than 138,000 copies, mainly because there is no pre-sale, and if there is a pre-sale, it may be able to rush to second place.

The single-day sales of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" are really against the sky, more than the last two combined!

Not to mention the rest, Zhang Chu himself was so surprised to see this first-day sales result, and he actually came to the fifth place in the historical ranking, only about 50,000 copies away from the first-day record.

Some people classify it as a thriller, some count it as a supernatural category, and some say that it is a fantasy category, while Zhang Chu himself defines it as an adventure.

The sales of ghost blowing lanterns are so terrifying, and it is said that there are many works in the future, no wonder netizens are laughing that Zhang Chu has found a cash cow!

If he can stabilize sales and channels in the future, then his ranking on the writer's rich list is estimated to go up significantly.
