Early the next morning, Jiang Zhong came to the magazine office early, and as soon as he put down his briefcase, he saw a stack of tables on the table.

"The data of "Chess Soul" has been counted?" Jiang Zhong asked.

"Not yet, the major bookstores are counting, and we should know the results soon." A staff member said.

Jiang Zhong bowed slightly, sat down and flipped through the forms that had been sent, and after the computer simply added it, his brows furrowed slightly.

Subsequently, the data was sent to Jiang Zhong one after another.

After checking it three times, Jiang Zhong rubbed his face weakly, sighed, and was silent for a long time before dialing Shang Haozhi's landline.

Shang Haozhi is also struggling with whether to call Jiang Zhong, he is now like a parent who is worried about his child's grades, and he is both looking forward to and worrying about the sales of "Chess Soul".

The landline on the desk suddenly remembered, so Shang Haozhi made a clever call, and then quickly picked up the phone.

"Hey ......"

The other editors all looked at Shang Haozhi, especially Wang Wenhong, who could even feel that his heart was beating sharply.

"Oh...... Thanks, I see. Shang Haozhi's face tightened, and he slowly put down the phone and looked at the others in the editorial department, "The first volume of "Chess Soul", the first week sales, 30,000 copies. ”

30,000?

"How is that possible? That's too low. Wang Wenhong slapped the table and stood up.

Only 30,000 copies were sold for the first time, and the sales in the next few days are not expected to be too high.

"You sit down first, I can understand your feelings, but Jiang Zhong doesn't need to lie to us." Shang Haozhi crossed his fingers, with a sad face on his face, "Don't tell Teacher Shen yet...... Wait for the results to come out in a week, and then we will make a judgment. ”

"What if Mr. Shen asks?" After Wang Wenhong sat down, his heart was in a mess.

"You just say you don't know, let him ask me." Shang Haozhi said in a deep voice.

Wang Wenhong endured it without speaking, opened the Manjia.com forum, and clicked to the section of "ComicFuture".

There aren't many posts related to "Chess Soul" in the section, and everyone still prefers to discuss "The Legend of the Dragon King" and "Hunting Abyss". After all, the two comics have been biting hard in recent weeks, and finally, in the high of Hunting Abyss. tide, still 50 votes behind "The Legend of the Dragon King", ranking second.

In addition, there are also several posts related to the single book of "Chess Soul" in the forum, and everyone has a high evaluation of the single book, but the sales are not high.

Typical applause is not popular.

Is it really a niche work? Or is it ...... Because of Zhen Duo's loss, everyone is still unwilling to accept "Chess Soul"?

But it's been half a month since that game ended, and most people's emotions should calm down and accept the fact that Go lost again.

Wang Wenhong wiped the sweat from his forehead with a tissue, and rubbed his forehead helplessly.

"A week...... You can't even sell 100,000, right? Wang Wenhong muttered to himself.

If this trend continues, it may not reach 100,000 copies.

Typically, the first day of sales is the highest for new single books, and after two or three weeks, the sales are almost negligible.

There are very few comics that can maintain a relatively good sales all the time.

"Don't worry, with the quality of "Chess Soul", the sales will not be so miserable, maybe it will explode tomorrow?"

Hu Ke looked at Wang Wenhong with a sad face, he originally wanted Wang Wenhong to persuade Shen Xin to change the storyline and speed up the pace of the story, but now it seems that it can only be delayed for a few more days for the time being.

Wang Wenhong scratched his head and nodded depressedly.

On this day, he didn't go to Shen Xin's studio, but fell asleep after drinking two glasses of wine, and was almost late for work.

There was silence in the office, as if there was a big hand holding most people by the throat.

Shang Haozhi's index finger was crossed and placed on the table, and since Wang Wenhong entered the editorial office, Shang Haozhi's eyes never left him until he sat in his seat.

The entire editorial department is filled with a sense of tension that makes people feel tired.

Wang Wenhong had just opened his notebook when Shang Haozhi's landline rang again.

"Hey ......"

Wang Wenhong felt that his heart was grabbed, and he immediately turned his head to look at Shang Haozhi, but found that Shang Haozhi's expression had become a little strange.

Subsequently, Shang Haozhi's reply made Wang Wenhong even more puzzled.

"Huh? How so...... You don't know...... All right. I know. ”

After hanging up the phone, Shang Haozhi also noticed everyone's gaze, coughed a little, and explained: "The sales of "Chess Soul" on the second day were 31,000 copies. Although it is only a thousand more than yesterday, it is a good sign. ”

Instead of falling, it is rising?

Wang Wenhong blinked, and hurriedly opened the Manjia.com forum, there were still too many posts related to "Chess Soul".

During his break, he also went to the sales department, but Jiang Zhong told him that the increase in the sales of the single book of "Chess Soul" may have been just an accident.

"I don't have enough data here to back it up, so don't get your hopes up." Jiang Zhong's words poured a basin of cold water on Wang Wenhong.

In the early morning of the fourth day of the release of the single book of "Chess Soul", news came from the sales department again.

"Fifty thousand copies!" Shang Haozhi hung up the phone with a rare smile on his face.

Fifty thousand?

Wang Wenhong was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't wait to open the forum, and there were more posts related to "Chess Soul", and there was even a newcomer signing in to the building, many netizens who had never registered a Manjia.com account left a message to sign in under this post.

In addition, posts related to the single book of "Chess Soul" have also come out one after another.

"Alas, to be honest, my current mood has not eased up. Zhen Duo lost to the deputy general of Han in the ninth section, I really can't accept it. But I still can't play Go. ”

"Chess Soul is indeed a good manga, but I would say, it's too slow-paced. At the end of the first volume, the protagonist only played a few games of chess, and if I had Zuo Wei by my side, I would have beaten a professional chess player a long time ago. ”

"You're ox X, but aren't you afraid of being dissected? Elementary school students who have defeated professional chess players one after another will definitely be focused on research, and maybe they will be exposed. ”

"That is, Xiaoguang just won Xiaoliang, and was "marked" by Xiaoliang, if he won Shi Xingyang, then the Huaxia Chess Academy would not turn the sky upside down? ”

"So, the pace of Go manga can't be too fast. It doesn't have to be as intense as football or basketball...... Moreover, after watching "Chess Soul", I also learned a lot of knowledge related to Go......"

"That's right—"

"I don't usually read comics.,I turned two pages when I was bored in the chess club.,As a result,I think it's funny.,The only regret is that it's been serialized from "ComicFuture" to the 14th episode.,There are a few issues in between that haven't had time to read.。

……

Wang Wenhong looked at these posts and suddenly had an idea in his heart.

Could it be that ...... "Chess Soul" really survived?

Wang Wenhong's speculation was confirmed on the morning of the fifth day, and the sales of "Chess Soul" reached 100,000 copies on the fourth day, and at the same time, 100,000 copies were reprinted.

Happiness came so suddenly.

Wang Wenhong didn't even react at the first time, and then immediately rushed out of the editorial office and dialed Shen Xin's phone.

"Teacher Shen, congratulations, 100,000 copies are reprinted!" Wang Wenhong bared his teeth and smiled.

"Reprint?" The G pen in Shen Xin's hand stopped, a little surprised, "You mean...... 300,000 copies for the first release, and 100,000 copies for reprint? ”

Shen Xin was also a little surprised, you must know that the plot of "Chess Soul" has not yet fully unfolded.

"That's right! I'm busy right now, I'll look for you in the evening. ”

The three assistants downstairs looked at Shen Xin upstairs.

"The reprint is out, and everyone will have dinner together in the evening!" Shen Xin got up, came to the fence, and said to the others.

"Reprint...... Come out? Gao Hang blinked, and the next moment clenched his fists, "Great!" Mr. Shen! ”

Ma Ning swallowed his saliva and looked at Shen Xin incredulously.

A Go comic ...... The week's sales were on par with the popular fighting manga, which ...... It's really an exaggeration.
