On the second day of the eighth month, after nearly a month of wholehearted writing, Li Ling finally wrote the fourth volume of Fengshen.

In the whole of July, except for a few days when he helped Gu Yuezi plan against Wanjia Bookstore, Li Ling devoted himself to the writing of this volume of novels, and even rarely went to the bookstore, after all, compared to writing, the income of the bookstore was really negligible.

In Li Ling's opinion, the newly baked fourth volume is more than one level higher than the previous three volumes, both in terms of storyline and use of words and sentences, and even his own writing has been further improved, so he also has full confidence in this book.

It's just that when Li Ling came to the bookstore to deliver the manuscript, he found that the shopkeeper Wu and several other guys in the store all looked worried, even when they saw that he had brought the manuscript, they only reluctantly smiled and asked him to go back and talk to his owner.

Gu Yuezi's mood didn't look very high, and he smiled and took the manuscript: "Brother, your writing of this volume is much slower than before. ”

"No way, who said that the next story is more difficult and the scene is bigger? I'll have to think it through before I can write, right? Li Ling smiled, and then he said with concern: "Brother, why do you look so preoccupied, but there is a move on the Wanjia side?" ”

These words immediately caused Gu Yuezi to sigh: "It's not just a move, it's really a storm." You've been writing books behind closed doors at home, so you don't know how much things have changed outside. ”

"How?" Li Ling's expression also quickly became solemn, he originally thought that the other party was not so quick to grasp the initiative, but now it seems that the matter is going to be more serious.

"Hey, I thought that calling all the bookstore owners together that day would form an offensive and defensive alliance, but it turned out that I overestimated everyone's affection for many years. At the beginning, Boss Wang and Boss Liu went directly to Wanjia and put the books of Wanjia Bookstore on the shelves. Then, after the continuous lobbying of Wanrong and the reduction of the price of the book, several other companies also wavered, and it was Boss Lu, who had the best relationship with me, who finally compromised. This was more than ten days ago, and now my Gu family's books are exactly the same as those of Wanjia, but the price is two percent lower than mine, so naturally no one is willing to pay for my books anymore. ”

Li Ling frowned again and again when he heard this, he thought that the businessmen of hundreds of years ago would be more affectionate and committed than those in later generations, but now it seems that he obviously overestimated them, businessmen are for the purpose of profit, in the face of greater interests, friendship or something can only be put aside.

After sighing, Gu Yuezi said again: "Not only in those scriptures, they completely cut off my back path, but also in the small speaking book. In the past month, this is the first novel you have handed over to me, and the other authors have been dug up by Wanjia! What's even more odious is that Wan Jia actually launched four volumes of "Romance of the Immortals" in one go the day before yesterday! It's almost just the time of your delivery, and it's to kill us! ”

"Romance of the Immortals?" Li Ling frowned: "Is it the novel written by Dai Changan based on my previous plot?" ”

"Exactly, I also asked someone to buy a set to see, and almost all of the words in front of him were written in imitation of the content of your gods, only some names were changed!" As he spoke, Gu Yuezi turned around and took four books from the bookshelf behind him and handed them to Li Ling, "Take a look." ”

Good guy, looking at the big words "Romance of the Immortals" on the cover of the book, Li Ling directly said good guy. This person is really well versed in the essence of imitation and rubbing hot spots, and even the title of the book is so straightforward that people think of their own gods at a glance.

However, Li Ling also had a certain amount of psychological preparation, so there was nothing unpleasant, and he quickly browsed the contents of the book as soon as he opened the page.

After only looking at it for a while, the corners of his mouth curled, and he laughed. It's really just like what Gu Yuezi said before, this book is completely based on the routine of the gods, but the age is mentioned earlier, and it has become the story of the Xia Dynasty.

Hmm, it was to replace King Xuan with Xia Ji, Daji with Meixi, and then Zhou with Shang Tribe, King Wu was Cheng Tang, and Jiang Ziya was changed to Yi Yin - this is obviously a difference in age, but the author didn't care too much, just went to the characters he knew at that time.

Then those immortals in the sky are easier, what is the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, the Human Emperor Fuxi or something, they can all be used, plus some original characters, it's really like that.

After quickly turning over a few times, Li Ling also understood why Gu Yuezi was obviously full of confidence a few days ago, but now he was panicking. The defection of the bookstore is on the one hand, and the more important thing is that the content of this Fengxian is indeed not bad, and even from the perspective of writing, it is far above his own three volumes. Moreover, there are some contents in this book that the people like to see, and the king and Daji, no, the interactive action content of Xia Wei and Meixi Palace, are all written...... The attraction should be even greater.

Thinking of Dai Changan, who he saw that day, he looked excessively drunk and his body was very weak, Li Ling couldn't help but smile lightly. This made Gu Yuezi on the side a little uncontrollable: "Brother, it's all this time, can you still laugh?" At that time, I really thought that Dai Changan couldn't write too decently, but now it seems that I still underestimated his ability. These four books are no worse than yours, and they are faster and cheaper than you, so they will naturally have a great impact on your book. ”

Li Ling put the book in his hand back on the table, looked at the other party and asked, "Brother Gu, I want to hear the truth from you, why were you willing to buy my book that day?" Because how gorgeous is the rhetoric of the first volume, and how good is the writing? ”

Gu Yuezi shook his head after being silent for a while: "Of course not, your writing is just smooth, and what I value most about the book Fengshen is my unbridled imagination." There are also all kinds of characters emerging one after another, and it is really wonderful......"

"Isn't this the end, I can make everyone want to read, it's because of my imagination, so his advantage is nothing at all."

"But the problem is, all your ideas have also been stolen and used by him......"

"That's not necessarily, all he can steal is the first three volumes, but in fact, the real wonderful content of the gods starts from this fourth volume." As he spoke, he patted the manuscript he had brought and sent it to the other party.

"Is that true?" Seeing Li Ling's confident appearance, Gu Yuezi's spirit was lifted, and he hurriedly flipped through the manuscript. In fact, he had read the first half of the volume before, and it was just a little more exciting than the first three volumes, and it may not be much stronger than that immortal. But when he flipped through the content behind it, his eyes fell into it, and he couldn't pull it out for a long time.

As Li Ling said, the content of the later exposition and interception of the fighting method was really completely beyond people's imagination at this time, so wonderful that Gu Yuezi couldn't help but start to applaud again and again.

Originally, the plot of the Ten Absolute Formations in the book was the most criticized place by later generations, and the ten formations of the Red Sand Formation and the Golden Light Array sounded like good names, but the content was the same, that is, Xiqi sent cannon fodder into the formation and was killed, and then the twelve golden immortals of the Interpretation Sect entered the formation and broke the formation.

It's just one or two times like this, but in the Romance of the Gods, it comes ten times, and everyone will be aesthetically fatigued. But Li Ling has made many adaptations, upgrading all kinds of wonderful kills in the Ten Absolute Formations, and the methods of breaking the formation on Xiqi's side are also different, which is really exciting and interesting, so that once people start watching, they can't stop. It is only for people like Li Ling who have read a lot of novels such as cultivating immortals in later generations to make such an adaptation, which is obviously not something that readers in this era can come up with.

"Good! Wonderful! After admiring again and again, Gu Yuezi put down the manuscript in his hand, and after exhaling a long breath of turbidity, a real smile appeared on his face for the first time in a few days: "Brother, you really didn't say big things, and you didn't disappoint me, this volume of Fengshen has been able to withstand the sum of the previous three volumes, as for Fengxian, it's not worth mentioning!" ”

Li Ling also smiled: "So as long as we print the book as soon as possible, we can cut off their way before the Immortal Seal is sold, and then I will see how they end!" ”

"That's right, I'll let them stop the revision of the version at hand first, and they must print the fourth volume of the gods within three days, otherwise the longer it drags on, the worse the situation will be!" Gu Yuezi got up directly as she spoke, and went out excitedly.

……

In the backyard of Wanjia Bookstore, Dai Changan sat in front of Wan Rong and Wan Ai with a spring breeze on his face, listening to them report the sales of his four books sold in the past two days, and his heart was happy: "Four hundred copies, so many have been sold in just three days." That Gu Yuezi should have received the news at this time, I really want to see what kind of face he is now, and at that time he actually said that I was going down the evil path! Could it be that I can't write that Xiaoyaozi? ”

"Mr. Dai, have you figured out how to write the next fifth volume?" Wan Ai asked with a smile.

Dai Changan raised his spirit slightly, and arched his hand: "The students naturally have a plan, and the content behind it will be even more exciting." However, the remuneration for this is ......"

"Don't worry, I can't treat you badly, as long as you write fast and good enough, it will be a matter of adding ten taels of silver to you." Wan Rong said with a smile.

"I'm afraid ten taels is not enough, I heard that Li Ling's god scroll is worth fifty taels, how can I take sixty taels."

Looking at his greedy appearance, Wan Ai's eyes showed a trace of unhappiness, but then he smiled again: "Well, as long as the book can be sold, I will give you sixty taels." But I have the conditions, I have to sell 2,000 copies of five books to give you sixty! ”

"This ......" Hearing this number, Dai Changan was a little vague, there were more than ten volumes of novels he had written before, and the total number had not been sold for 2,000.

"What, you're scared? I know that Fengshen sold 800 copies when the first volume was released. Wan Rong snorted.

Stimulated by this, Dai Changan immediately nodded: "Then how to decide!" He can do it, and I can do it! "It's a big deal to add more action to the book, no one cares about this kind of thing anyway......
