Chapter 088: Campus Novel

Wang Lanlan hurriedly ran downstairs, looking panicked, it turned out that she woke up and found that the manuscript of the new book was lost, thinking that the book bar was a thief.

After learning that the manuscript was taken away by Liu Xing, Wang Lanlan knew that it was a false alarm. After washing, she also sat down at the bar and had breakfast with everyone.

"Wang Lanlan, did you revise a new book last night?"

"Hmm. โ€

"What have you changed?" asked Liu Xing curiously.

When he read the manuscript of the novel last night, the match was only 8.4%, and the grade was none. But in the morning, the match rate of the novel has become 9.9%, and the grade has become one star.

"I added a girlfriend to the Shadow Man. Wang Lanlan said.

"Girlfriend?"

"That's right!" Wang Lanlan said, "Didn't you say that the Black Shadow Man can't have a wife, I think he is too lonely, so I added a girlfriend to him in the novel, and the girlfriend's name is Lu Yuxin......"

"Poofโ€”"

Lu Yuxin, who was sitting on the side drinking hot milk, couldn't hold back for a while, the milk in her mouth almost squirted out, wiped her mouth with a tissue, Lu Yuxin asked, "Lan Lan, what did you just say?"

Wang Lanlan grinned and said, "Sister Xin, don't be so excited, I just wrote a heroine in the novel based on you." In "Detective Wang Nan's Black Shadow Man", the girlfriend of the black shadow man is called Lu Yuxin, they have a heart, they are in love, and the beauty is a hero. I wrote this plot very well last night, and it should feel good. โ€

Lu Yuxin frowned: "Lan Lan, how can you scribble?"

"Sister Xin, I didn't scribble, the Black Shadow Man really saved you once and hugged you, didn't he?" Wang Lanlan said, "My novel is based on life, of course I want to write you into it." โ€

Lu Yuxin reminded: "Can you write like this?"

Wang Lanlan's eyes rolled, and she didn't know the bottom of her heart, and asked, "Liu Xing, how about the plot I added last night?"

"You can send the manuscript to the book testing center today to apply for an appraisal. Liu Xing said bluntly.

Wang Lanlan's eyes lit up slightly: "Doesn't the manuscript need to be revised again?"

"No, I don't. Liu Xing was a little worried that she would get worse and worse, and finally changed the star novel again, "It's almost changed, go and let a professional connoisseur take a look at it in the afternoon, maybe there will be a surprise." โ€

"Hmm. Wang Lanlan nodded, she had been preparing for so long, and she was looking forward to it very much.

โ€ฆโ€ฆ

After breakfast, Wang Lanlan began to sort out the manuscript of the new book, and immediately went to the book testing center after finishing it. Liu Shiming was about to go to Tianhai University, so the two traveled together.

After they left, a middle-aged man's customer walked into the book bar and asked, "Little brother, is your boss there?"

Liu Xing looked back and saw that the person who spoke was a man in his thirties, wearing a suit and leather shoes, with a slightly fat figure, and a black briefcase in his hand, who seemed to be a businessman.

"I'm the owner of the book bar. Liu Xing stepped forward.

"Are you the boss?" the man looked at Liu Xing, surprised, "I didn't expect there to be such a young boss in Novel Street, I was really embarrassed just now." Hello, my surname is Zhou, do you have a campus novel in your book bar?"

"Campus novels?" Liu Xing nodded, "Do you want an ordinary novel or a star novel?"

"Star novels, the higher the level, the higher the level, preferably three stars or above. โ€

"Mr. Zhou, campus novels rarely have three stars, at most two stars. โ€

The man's face showed a look of disappointment: "So, you don't have a book bar?" Alas, isn't there a three-star campus novel sold in the entire novel street?"

Liu Xing could hear it, this man seemed to have been looking for a three-star campus novel for most of the day, and asked curiously: "Mr. Zhou, what do you want a three-star campus novel for?"

"For my son. The man let out a long sigh and said, "I have a sixteen-year-old son who is now in high school. The child was not interested in learning at all, often skipped and skipped classes, and his grades were always at the bottom of the class. I scolded, scolded, but it didn't work. โ€

"Last month, the psychiatrist told me that my son was suffering from school boredom and that he could try to read school novels to cultivate his interest in learning. So, I bought two two-star campus novels, and after my son read the novels, his school boredom improved. It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and the boredom was not cured, and recently, he began to skip classes again. โ€

"The psychiatrist said that my son's school aversion is more serious, and the effect of two-star campus novels is limited, and I am afraid that three-star campus novels are needed to completely cure. โ€

Hearing this, Liu Xing roughly understood the situation.

Campus fiction, as the name suggests, is a novel that tells the story of campus life.

Reading campus novels can cultivate students' interest in campus life and increase their enthusiasm for learning. Many students do not get good grades, mainly because they hate learning and can't find the joy of learning, and good school novels can help these students who suffer from school boredom to get on the right track.

The higher the grade of the campus novel, the better the treatment of school aversion is generally effective.

It's just that novels in this category are generally rated below two stars, and rarely exceed three stars, which has a certain relationship with its subject matter.

The subject matter of campus novels has certain limitations, telling stories that happen on campus, and the plots, characters, and ideas are easily similar.

Eight of the ten campus novels are carved out of almost the same mold, lacking freshness, and it is easy to read them with aesthetic fatigue and even rebellion.

As a result, many campus novels are unsightly, and there is no one in a hundred campus novels that can be fascinating, and as for campus novels that can be fascinating, they are hard to find.

The number of campus novels is actually very large, but there are very few high-quality novels.

Most of the campus novels in the Novel Street bookstore are one-star, with a few two-star, but there are almost no three-star campus novels.

"Boss Liu, where can I find a three-star campus novel?" the man asked with concern.

Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, Liu Xing did not find it difficult to understand the man's mood, and said: "Mr. Zhou, this way, you leave a phone number, if there is a three-star campus novel, I will contact you." โ€

The man nodded, and specially instructed: "Boss Liu, if there is a three-star campus novel, you will definitely help me stay, the price is not a problem." โ€

After leaving his contact information, the man left first.

After this little episode, Liu Xing couldn't help but have some thoughts in his heart. He looked up information about campus novels on the Internet and found that there are not many high-quality campus novels on the market today.

In the past ten years, there has been a popular saying in the writers' circles in Huaxia that writers who write campus novels are not mainstream writers. Only beginner writers write about campus novels, and many top writers don't bother to write this genre.

Over time, campus novels have become synonymous with low-end novels, and there are fewer and fewer high-quality novels.

"It should be a good opportunity. โ€

The current footfall of the Meteor Book Bar is decreasing every day, and Liu Xing is thinking about finding a batch of good books to attract traffic and thus reverse the situation.

Judging by the current situation, campus fiction seems to be a good choice. Campus novels are not without an audience, but they lack high-quality novels.

It's hard to find a book of high-quality campus novels on the market today, but there is one place where you can find it - the scrap book pile!

A few decades ago, campus novels were a smash hit, but the subject matter was later written badly, and today's writers are reluctant to touch it again. The golden age of campus novels was about 40 years ago, and among the waste books left behind in that period, it is very likely that there were many excellent campus novels that were buried.

Thinking of this, Liu Xing preliminarily determined his plan - to buy waste books of campus novels.

A few months ago, he had purchased tens of thousands of scrap books, and he had already bought more than half of the scrap books in Novel Street.

Despite this, there are still a large number of waste books in Tianhai City that no one cares about.

In fact, the group with the most discarded books is not booksellers, but novel collectors.

Most of these collectors are hardcore book lovers, and have been collecting novels for decades, and have a backlog of more novels than the average bookstore, including discarded books.

The price of novels is expensive, and the people who can become novel collectors generally have very good family backgrounds, most of them are billionaires, and they are all influential figures in society.

Therefore, in the set of "Secret Archives of Important Figures in the Huaxia Kingdom" written by Jin Santong, there are many secret files of collectors.

In the archives, information about the collectors is presented, including the number of books they have, the types of books they have, and so on.

Liu Xing is now preparing to buy a large number of scrap books, and his preferred acquisition targets are precisely these novel collectors.

So, he immediately went to the underground library of the book bar.

โ€ฆโ€ฆ

On the second floor of the underground library, Liu Xing stood in front of the bookshelf and began to flip through the 97th volume of "The Secret Archives of Important Figures in the Chinese Kingdom", which recorded the archives of more than 200 collectors.

These collectors have a personal collection of more than 50,000 books, and they collect not only star-rated novels, but also ordinary novels, and even scrap books.

After reading some of the archival materials in the book, Liu Xing found a phenomenon that many collectors will prefer a genre of novels, and collect a large number of novels of this genre, even if they are waste books, they will not let go.

Some collectors like mystery novels, some collectors like romance novels, and some collectors like science fiction.

Among more than 200 collectors, Liu Xing found three collectors who liked to collect campus novels, one in Jinghua City in northern China and the other in Xichuan City in western China, both of whom were thousands of kilometers away from Tianhai City and were not considered for the time being.

The remaining collector happens to be in Tianhai City, his name is Sun Xuecai, and Sun Xuecai's personal file is recorded in the "Secret Archives of Important Figures in the Huaxia Kingdom".

Secret File No. 24545

Name: Sun Xuecai

Age: 42 years old

Identity: A well-known novel collector in Tianhai City

Collection: The personal collection of 120,000 books, of which campus novels account for a quarter, is the largest collection of campus novels in Tianhai City.

Individual*: 1, I had a crush on the school girl when I was a student, and I didn't dare to confess, so I liked to read campus novels to make up for the regrets of the year from the book......

โ€ฆโ€ฆ

After reading Sun Xuecai's profile, Liu Xing was secretly happy in his heart, because Sun Xuecai was the collector he was looking for. Sun Xuecai has about 30,000 campus novels in his hands, and many of them must be scrapped books.

These scrap books are all written decades ago, and the older the era, the more likely you are to find a good book. If you can buy these waste books, there may be an unexpected surprise.

Therefore, Liu Xing decided to visit Sun Xuecai.

The information in the "Secret Archives of Important Figures in Huaxia" was collected by Jin Santong 40 years ago, when Sun Xuecai was only 42 years old, and time has passed, and now Sun Xuecai is 82 years old.

"Sun Xuecai should still be alive, right?"

With such questions, Liu Xing left the underground library and prepared to go to Sun Xuecai's home......
