Chapter 190: Searching for the Book Tomb Notes
More than 30 years ago, Tian Zhiwen changed the covers of four "Book Tomb Notes" to four romances, namely "Love of the Wind", "Love of Flowers", "Love of Snow" and "Love of the Moon". +◆+◆,
Among them, "Snow Love" is already in Liu Xing's hands, and now what needs to be found are three other romances.
This set of romances in the "Wind and Snow" series was published at its own expense more than 30 years ago, and only 200 copies were released in total, most of which were not sold and became waste books.
If you can get these discarded books back, you can find three more "Book Tomb Notes".
More than 30 years have passed, and these discarded books have probably been resold many times, and it seems difficult to get them all back.
That's not the case, though.
Since 30 years ago, each book of the Huaxia Reading Alliance has a unique book number, and each book has a corresponding transaction record when it is traded.
Through this transaction information, you can know the whereabouts of each book.
Therefore, as long as you look at the transaction records of 200 sets of romances in the "Wind and Snow Moon" series, you can find three "Book Tomb Notes".
In Tianhai City, there is a place where you can view these transaction information - Jianshu Building.
……
Late at night.
Tianhai Jianshu Building, Book Data Center.
The data center staff had already left work, but a man in a blue work uniform was sitting in front of a computer, intently looking up the information in the database.
This man is none other than Liu Xing.
Ordinary people in the Jianshu Mansion have no right to access the database at all, so Liu Xing secretly knocked out a bookisters in the Jianshu Building and changed into his work uniform. Sneak into the data center.
In the database of the data center, you can check the transaction records of all the books in Huaxiaguo.
Information display in the book database. Of the 200 sets of the "Wind and Snow", 30 were successfully sold, and the remaining 170 sets were turned into scrap books.
Among the 170 sets of waste books. Ninety sets were collected by the Reading Alliance, while the remaining 80 sets were acquired by 19 collectors in Tianhai City.
As a result, the three copies of the Book Tomb Notes are either in the discarded library of the Reading Alliance or in the hands of 19 collectors.
"Let's start with these 19 collectors. ”
Looking at the computer screen, Liu Xing recorded the details of the 19 collectors.
……
In the next seven days, Liu Xing infiltrated the homes of 18 collectors and tested their collection of 79 sets of romances in the "Wind and Snow Moon" series.
As a result, it was found that none of these 79 sets were "Book Tomb Notes".
Day eight, late at night.
Building C of Lijing Community, Tianhai City. A dark shadow swept out of the grass and sped up along the walls of the building, reaching the height of the fourth floor, and then flashed through a narrow window and entered Unit 502.
In front of me was a spacious study with no one in the room.
Liu Xing swept around, came to a row of bookshelves in the study, and began to check the bookshelf.
The owner of this study is surnamed Wang. is a collector and loves to collect romances. According to the transaction information of the Reading Alliance database, the collector also collected 1 set of romances from "Wind and Snow" fifteen years ago.
There were more than 5,000 romances on the bookshelf in front of him, and Liu Xing began to look for them.
More than an hour later.
"Finally found it!"
On the bookshelves on the second floor. Liu Xing discovered the romance of "Wind and Snow Moon".
The four books were taken down and tested one by one.
"Love in the Wind, romance. Grade: None, match 0.84%"
"Love of Flowers". Romance, rank none. Matching degree: 0.75%"
"Snow Love", romance, no grade, match 0.69%"
"Love of the Moon", romance, no grade, match 0.91%"
After the test, Liu Xing couldn't help but be a little disappointed.
These four romance books are genuine, and they are not the "Book Tomb Notes" he is looking for.
"It seems that the three "Book Tomb Notes" are not in the hands of 19 collectors, but in the waste library of the Reading Alliance!"
Liu Xing secretly pondered to himself, when things came to this point, he could only go to the waste library of the Reading Alliance to find it.
It's just that where is the waste library of the Reading Alliance?
"Ask Wu Guokun tomorrow. ”
Put it back on the bookshelf, the figure flashed, floated out of the window, and Liu Xing disappeared......
……
The next morning.
In the general manager's office of Meteor Book Bar, Liu Xing and Director Wu Guokun are talking about the second season of the essay competition.
As of today, 147 star ratings have been born in the second season of essays, nearly twice as many as in the first season.
According to the current situation, this "Black Shadow Man Cup" essay contest will definitely not lose money, and may even become the most profitable essay contest in the history of Tianhai City.
In the first season of the essay competition, 17 of the 51 star books have passed the preliminary review of the book testing center, and they have started to carry out trial reading activities in 17 bookstores on the street.
Over the course of the month, street booksellers have made more than $6 million in profits from trial readings.
The effect of the second season of the essay is twice as strong as that of the first season, and the future is naturally bright.
Of course, more than half of this credit goes to Liu Xing.
It's incredible. Wu Guokun exclaimed, "In more than ten years, most of the star writers in Tianhai City may be excavated by you." At that time, I'm afraid the Star Writers Association will have to invite you to be its president!"
Liu Xing smiled and said, "By the way, Director Wu, I want to ask you something." Where's the Reading Alliance's scrap library?"
"Waste book vaults?" Director Wu Guokun frowned slightly, "There are several waste book vaults in the Reading Alliance, and one of them is in the library of the Royal Wind Academy, what's wrong?"
Liu Xing explained: "There may be some good books in the waste library, and I want to go in and take a look." ”
"You've got such a talent for book reading, you really should go to the junk library. Director Wu Guokun reminded, "However, only the book connoisseur can enter the waste library of the Reading Alliance, and you have not passed the connoisseur's assessment yet, so you can't enter it temporarily." ”
Liu Xing asked: "I am now a student of the Department of Book Appreciation, and I don't have the right to enter the waste library?"
Director Wu Guokun said: "Of course not, the students of the book appreciation department are not book connoisseurs yet. Only when you get a book connoisseur's certificate can you be considered a real book connoisseur. If you want to enter the Reading Alliance's Scrap Book Library, you must first take the Critic's Grading Exam. However, it is too early to say this, and in order to pass the exam, you need to complete at least all the courses of the undergraduate four years of the book appreciation department. ”
Liu Xing couldn't imagine that it would be so troublesome to enter the waste library, did he really want to get a degree in the book appreciation department?
