Chapter 003: Notes on the Book Tomb

"A two-star novel?"

After receiving the information that came, Liu Xing was surprised that this "Book Tomb Notes" was actually a two-star novel.

As far as he knows, a two-star novel can be worth at least 5,000 yuan.

"Today, I was lucky to find a two-star novel from a pile of ordinary novels at home!"

The grading of Chinese novels is evaluated by book appraisal experts, and the accuracy rate is very high, as high as 99.9%.

In other words, on average, out of 1,000 novels, 999 novels are identified correctly, but 1 novel has an error identification, which means that in the average novel, there is a 1 in 1,000 chance of finding a starred novel.

"The quality of the two-star novel is really much higher. ”

Liu Xing identified more than 2,000 ordinary novels tonight, and the matching degree of all ordinary novels was less than 1%, but the matching degree of this two-star novel "Book Tomb Notes" was as high as 28%, which is very close to 30%, which has a certain reading value.

"Book Tomb Notes, what is Book Tomb?"

Looking at the novel in his hand, Liu Xing searched for relevant memories in his mind.

The so-called book tomb refers to the tomb where books are buried, and it is a cultural phenomenon unique to Huaxia.

The history of the Chinese Kingdom was frequent, and each war would lead to the displacement of a large number of people and homelessness. Hundreds of years ago, some novelists secretly dug up graves in the ground to prevent their book collections from being destroyed in the war, and then hid their books in the graves.

As a result, there is now a "book tomb", which is actually an underground book storehouse.

A high-quality novel can be sold at a sky-high price in Huaxia, and there are many precious books of ancient novelists buried in the book tomb, and its value is self-evident.

This "Book Tomb Notes" tells the story of a group of tomb robbers who steal the book tomb.

Liu Xing is a fan of novels, and it was not easy to find a two-star novel, and the match was so high, he naturally would not let it go, he half lay on the bed in the bedroom, holding "Notes on the Book and Tomb" in both hands, and read it with relish.

The plot of "Book Tomb Notes" is not complicated, it tells the story of the historical event of "book burning pit horses" in Huaxia more than 800 years ago, when the emperor burned a large number of books. In order to prevent the ancestral books from being burned, a novelist surnamed Ma dug eight graves, hid the novels, and turned them into eight book tombs. More than 800 years later, the descendants of the novelist surnamed Ma obtained a map of the book collection and began to search for the eight book tombs buried 800 years ago......

"Well, why not?"

Three hours later, when Liu Xing was fascinated, "Notes on the Book Tomb" had already turned to the last page, and the plot came to an abrupt end. This set of "Book Tomb Notes" seems to be a series, and there are a total of eight novels in the whole set, and Liu Xing is only holding one of them.

"Where are the other seven copies of "Book Tomb Notes"?"

Liu Xing carefully recalled that this "Book Tomb Notes" was bought from a roadside stall in Nanhu Park for 8 yuan when he was in junior high school, and there was only one copy in total at that time.

"Forget it, go to bed first, and ask at the bookstore tomorrow. ”

Lying on the bed, Liu Xing soon fell asleep......

……

"Ah Xing, the sun is shining on the buttocks, it's time to get up!"

Early in the morning, under the urging of his mother, Liu Xing woke up, washed briefly, and went down to the restaurant on the first floor to eat.

Breakfast was a bowl of steaming eight-treasure porridge, the porridge was cooked by his parents, the fragrance was rich, the taste was excellent, Liu Xing couldn't help but drink two large bowls.

After eating and drinking, he left the hotel alone to visit the bookstore on Novel Street.

Liu Xing's eyes have special abilities, and he can quickly identify the matching degree of the novel, as long as he finds a place with many books, he may be able to find a novel that suits him.

Located in the southern district of Tianhai City, with a total length of more than 1,100 meters, Novel Street brings together more than 100 bookstores, which is one of the largest novel markets in Tianhai City, and is naturally the best place to find books.

In the early morning, the sun was soft, and the air was tinged with the fragrance of flowers, and along the straight street with dense flowers, Liu Xing looked all the way over, because he went out too early, many bookstores had not yet opened, so he could only continue to walk forward.

"Caiyun Bookstore?"

When he walked to No. 119 Novel Street, Liu Xing found a bookstore called Caiyun, which was a little familiar, and after thinking about it carefully, he found that Guo Tieming, the captain of the criminal police, had mentioned it last night. The proprietress of this bookstore was stabbed two months ago by a male book fan of "Diary of a Goddess Raiders".

The proprietress should have recovered, as the bookstore is open again.

Liu Xing walked in.

Caiyun Bookstore covers an area of more than 40 square meters, more than a dozen bookshelves are neatly arranged, these bookshelves are very distinctive, some bookshelves are dark green, some bookshelves are pink, the two color bookshelves are put together, they contrast with each other, it looks like a beautiful picture of green grass and red flowers.

After walking a few steps towards the store, Liu Xing saw a middle-aged woman standing at the front desk of the bookstore, about forty years old, who was the proprietress of the bookstore, Huang Caiyun. Although she is a little older, judging from her current figure, she was definitely a big beauty when she was young.

"Little brother, do you want to buy a book?" Huang Caiyun greeted him.

"Do you have tomb robbery novels in your bookstore?" Liu Xing got straight to the point, when he was reading "Book Tomb Notes" last night, he suddenly lost his follow-up, and he was a little depressed.

"Tomb robbery novels? Yes, please here. ”

Following Huang Caiyun, Liu Xing came to a dark green bookshelf with more than a dozen tomb robbery novels on it, and he scanned the title of the book, but did not find "Book Tomb Notes".

"Boss, do you have a tomb robbery novel called "Book Tomb Notes" in your store?"

"Book Tomb Notes"?" Huang Caiyun thought for a while and shook his head, "The number of tomb robbery novels is relatively small, as long as it is a tomb robbery novel on the market, I have an impression, but I have never heard of any "Book Tomb Notes". Little brother, you must have misremembered the title of the book, right?"

After what she said, Liu Xing was a little disappointed, it seemed that the possibility of finding the remaining seven "Book Tomb Notes" was very small, his eyes drifted, and his attention fell back on the bookshelf in front of him.

The shelves of the bookstore are stocked with different types of novels, including urban novels, romance novels, mystery novels, science fiction novels, campus novels, and so on, with a total of more than 30 categories.

These novels have a beautiful outer packaging and cannot be flipped through at all.

Liu Xing had to flip through the books from beginning to end to read the information about the books, so he couldn't read the information about the well-packaged novels in the bookstore.

"It seems that it is impossible to pick up novels in a bookstore unless you buy them. ”

Liu Xing paid special attention to the prices of these novels, and the long series of numbers on the price board shocked him: 1,788 yuan, 1,888 yuan, 3,266 yuan, 5,900 yuan, 9,700 yuan......

Many novels cost more than 1,000 yuan, and these novels are star-rated novels. Among them, a three-star novel placed on the most conspicuous bookshelf in the center of the bookstore has a price tag of 99,000 yuan, and Liu Xing can't afford to sell himself.

Those who can afford to read novels are really rich people!

"Boss, how much does a two-star novel cost?" Liu Xing suddenly asked.

"Two-star novels? It depends on the genre. Huang Caiyun introduced, "If it is a romance novel, then the price is about 5,000 yuan." If it is a mystery novel, because there are fewer good books of this genre, the price will generally be twice as expensive, about 10,000 yuan. ”

"What if it's a two-star tomb robbery novel?"

"Tomb Robbery Novel...... It doesn't seem to be a two-star one, right?" Huang Caiyun said, "In my impression, the best tomb robbery novels only reach one star, and now there is no writer in the country who can write two-star tomb robbery novels." If there really is a two-star tomb robbery novel, I estimate the price to be at least 100,000 yuan. ”

"100,000 yuan?"

Liu Xing's heart moved, the "Book Tomb Notes" on the bookshelf in his bedroom was a two-star one, and the broken book was worth 100,000?

Thinking of this, Liu Xing suddenly felt that he was particularly extravagant, and spent three hours last night to finish reading "Notes on the Book and Tomb" worth 100,000 yuan, spending an average of more than 30,000 yuan an hour, and he had never been so extravagant in his life.

"If you are short of money in the future, you can sell the "Book Tomb Notes" for emergencies. ”

With such a thought, Liu Xing walked out of Caiyun Bookstore. Although there were many novels in the bookstore, all of them he couldn't afford, and there was no point in staying.

Back on the street, the sun was dazzling, it was already past nine o'clock in the morning, and the novel street was gradually becoming popular, most of the shops, cafes, and book bars were already open, and bookstores were no exception.

In the next three hours, Liu Xing walked into more than 40 bookstores one after another, and found that almost all the novels in the bookstores were wrapped in outer packaging, and it was impossible to read the relevant information.

After tossing for a morning, Liu Xing found nothing, and his stomach was a little hungry, so he decided to go back to the hotel first.

When he passed by the gate of Nanhu Park on Novel Street, a man with thief's eyebrows suddenly ran up and asked in a low voice, "Brother, do you want to buy books?"

As soon as he saw this man, Liu Xing felt that the other party was not a good bird, just like a small mobile phone vendor at the train station, seven or eight times out of ten he was a liar.

So, Liu Xing ignored it and was about to leave.

"Brother, I have many star-rated novels here, and one book only sells for a few dozen yuan!"

As soon as Liu Xing took two steps, he heard the man say again.

Star novels only sell for a few dozen yuan?

How can it be?

Liu Xing has just visited dozens of bookstores, and the cheapest one-star novel costs at least 500 yuan.

"Brother, a star-rated novel costs 50 yuan a copy, how about it, let's take a look?"

Listening to the man's words, Liu Xing was a little shaken, and after a moment of hesitation, he decided to find out, anyway, he only had 100 yuan in his pocket, and he couldn't suffer much loss.

"Brother, come with me. ”
