Chapter 106: The Arrival of Hestia
Please enter the text. For five days in a row, the sales popularity of the first volume of Sword Art Online quietly dropped.
And the first volume sold more than 800,000 copies in five days, a value that set off a huge wave in the entire ACG world.
In this way, the sales of a single volume exceeding one million copies have almost stabilized, and the proper phenomenal work has a sense of déjà vu.
The excitement of Hamura Machida Aenko and even the entire Immortal River Bunko is different.
Hamura calmly checked the 6 million receipts.
After all, Sword Art Online was a phenomenal masterpiece in the world before it was crossed, and it was not surprising that it could reach this height in this world.
The key is that he is a plagiarist, he copied the first volume like this, and he didn't even change a word, so it's strange that he will feel a sense of accomplishment in the face of this achievement.
Compared with Sword Art Online, the sales results of the second volume of the love metronome written by Kasumigaoka Shiyu made him more concerned.
Because the second volume of the writing has been greatly improved, and the plot is more interesting than the first volume, the sales performance of this volume in five days has surpassed the total sales of the first volume, reaching 150,000 copies, or it will not be a problem to break through 200,000 copies soon.
Although it is much worse than the score of the first volume of Sword Art Online, this score is also quite remarkable, after all, this is still her first book, and she has not yet put aside the title of novice writer, and this score is comparable to the sales of many old writers' works.
I didn't see that Kasumigaoka Shiyu has been smiling for the past few days, and she is obviously in a good mood.
And Lovelive's preliminary rankings also came out, and Muse unexpectedly squeezed into the semi-finals and got the ticket to participate in the finals.
However, the official start of lovelive is in December, and it is only just over October, and more than two months of preparation time can allow the muses to relax.
------
On Saturday, Hamura was bored eating fruit in the kitchen, looking at Toka and Erina, who were making snacks on the kitchen stove.
Haori sat on the sidelines, concentrating on the inspiration for cooking.
These days, she first pushed the golden smile to perfection, so that the dim sum burst out of the luster of life, I am afraid that it is the steel rod Xie in China, the original author of this dim sum, can not do it better.
Seeing the glowing cuisine appear again, Juka and Erina are still shocked, and their passion for cooking has been stimulated, and they have been working hard to study six recipes these days, even trying to add their ideas to the dishes when making snacks for their guests.
And Hamura also has a mission, teaching Shika to make three glowing dishes, rewarding five percent of the mastery progress.
But the only kind of cuisine that Hamura can teach is catfish noodles, and in order to control the progress of this five percent, he has passed on all his experience in this cuisine to Toka these days.
And the other two dishes, and the intention of cultivating the chef of Shihua, Hamura pushed these to Haori very singlely.
Hamura nibbled on the fruit, his eyes were a little dazed, and it was obvious that his thoughts were not in the kitchen.
I clicked on the window menu for a long time and took a look.
The current progress bar for controlling the Law of Heaven has reached 9.1% of the control progress.
This is the accumulation of four tasks.
The first is the task that rewards 0.1% progress after coming to this world, and the second is to help Rokuka find the invisible realm, rewarding 2% of the mastery progress.
The third is to help Muse create a song to participate in the lovelive preliminaries, although the final song was created by the muses, but the birth of the song, which has a large part of his credit, so this task is also considered completed, the reward is two percent of the control progress, and there is a ticket to pass the whole line.
This all-line pass ticket is an active prop, and after use, it will not get any refutation or criticism when proposing a set of implementation plans.
The fourth task, which is to make a perfect glowing dish with a five-day deadline, is obviously a perfect achievement, rewarding five percent of the progress.
There are three unfinished tasks, which are to teach Liuhua to make three glowing dishes, and to help Liuhua and Ace defeat the enemy, with a reward of 10%, and solve the mysterious enemy hidden behind the scenes, and reward 15% for controlling the progress.
and the main quest.
If you complete the unfinished task, you will be rewarded with 80% mastery progress, and then 9% of the mastery progress will be 89% of the mastery progress.
"Eleven percent of the way is still unsettled...... Ellie, are there any new quests? ”
Of course, Hamura also wants to take control of the core world as soon as possible, and can't wait to see the scenery from higher places, and at the same time, he also wants to get rid of the pressure from the manager as soon as possible.
"Not yet."
Ellie responded, "Missions are triggered, and you have to be proactive in finding triggerable events. ”
"What about trigger tasks?"
Hamura took a bite of the fruit and thought, and said after a while: "In this case, well, let Rokka like tomatoes?" ”
“……”
"Let Shiyu no longer have a poisonous tongue?"
“……”
"Train Feather to be a well-behaved and gentle sister, and make her and Feather as close as other sisters?"
“……”
"What do you mean by sending so many 'points'?"
Hamura let out a dissatisfied voice, "None of these are enough to be listed as a mission?" I think you're making things difficult for me! ”
"What can I do? I can't take the initiative to issue tasks to you, I can only extract the inductions generated by the Law of Heaven and release them to you in the form of tasks. ”
Ellie wasn't satisfied, either, "And those ghost challenges you mentioned obviously didn't make the Law of Heaven give birth to induction, so naturally they couldn't form a mission... What's more..."
A somewhat frivolous and disdainful tone said, "What you said, are you sure you can do it?" ”
Hamura pondered for a long time, and then decided not to dwell on it.
"Hamura!"
Not long after Hamura walked out of the kitchen, Toka's voice came from behind him.
"What's the matter?"
Hamura turned around and looked at the ten flowers that were full of royal sister Fan.
Shihua hugged her arms, her face paralyzed as always, "Do you have anything to do tomorrow?" ”
"It's nothing."
Hamura shook his head, although Machida Enko wanted him to continue to publish the second volume of Sword Art Online, but now he has lost interest in writing light, after all, earning that little money is a drop in the bucket for the main quest.
But when he's really bored, maybe he'll write the second volume.
What we need to do now is to develop branches in various cities.
So he's going to go to the first area in two days.
And in the past two days, he is ready to spend more time with the women around him.
"Then can you go with Liuhua tomorrow?"
Shihua walked over, "You've been dating Liuhua already, but have you ever had a date?" Do you want to do your job as a boyfriend once in a while, right? ”
Hamura smiled bitterly, did he come to fight for his sister?
"Absolutely."
Hamura had originally planned to spend time with them, so he naturally wouldn't refuse.
Shihua's expression slowed slightly, took out two tickets from the back, and handed them over, "This is a ticket for a newly opened oceanarium, I heard a good response, you can go and see it tomorrow." ”
I have been prepared, this sister is really in place, although usually Shihua has a headache for Liuhua, and she educates her sister in 360 degrees in various positions without dead ends, but she really cares about Liuhua.
It's like a feather coat and a feather style, but this pair is obviously much less frank.
Hamura took the ticket, took a look at it and put it away, looked up and said with a wicked smile: "Okay, that, Rokuka won't go back tomorrow night, you're worried, oh, by the way, don't call in the middle of the night, or don't worry when you hear the phone turn off." ”
Shihua was stunned for a moment when she heard this, but after a while, she reacted, and raised her head viciously, "You dare to ......"
But suddenly found that there was still the shadow of Hamura in front of me.
------
"Even Hayo~"
Hamura, who was about to go to find a feather coat, was suddenly attacked by a soft mass, and he could clearly perceive that his back was tightly pressed against two soft and elastic masses, and then a familiar coquettish voice came from his ears.
This somewhat lazy and charming voice, who else can there be besides Yakumo Purple?
Hamura's face stiffened, and his heart was very delicate, why did he always want to accompany Yuyi, and some people would always jump out inexplicably to stop him?
"It's okay, don't bother me."
Hamura grabbed a pair of Hao wrists that were hugging his neck from behind, then got out, tidied up his clothes, and looked at Yakumo Zi, who pursed his small mouth and was a little dissatisfied, "I don't have time to play with you today." ”
"Hamura is too good~ Always so cold to us~"
Yakumo Zi looked at Hamura with resentful eyes, if it was an ordinary person facing this kind of coquettishness, I am afraid that my soul would be lost, but Hamura decided to be cold-blooded to the end.
I'm going to accompany the feather robe today anyway.
Ignoring Yakumoshi, who is as delicate as a little girl, Hamura turns around and leaves.
"Wait~"
Seeing that Yucun turned around and left, Yakumo Zi scolded secretly, didn't pretend, stepped into the open gap, and then walked out of the gap that appeared in front of Yucun, unfolded the incense fan with a brush, covered half of his face, and said a little seriously: "I have something serious to discuss with you." ”
"What's the matter?"
Hamura paused.
"Come with us, you'll know when you arrive."
Yakumo closed the fan, and with a slight stroke on the side, a gap opened in the space, and then he walked in first.
Hamura thought about it for a while, and saw that Yakumo Purple didn't seem to be joking, so he followed.
One step later, unlike what Hamura imagined, it actually appeared on the periphery of Takei.
And Yakumo Zi looked at the Hamura that came out with him, and a touch of gentleness flashed in his eyes.
"Feather!"
Before Hamura could take a closer look around him, a familiar petite figure swooped in.
"Hestia."
Hamura looked at the Lori God who pounced on him, hugged him tightly, and a pair of jade legs were still wrapped around his waist, and was stunned for a moment, and then raised his hand and touched the little head of the Lori God.
"The familiar taste of feathers, I smell ~ I smell ~ I smell ~, so happy!"
Hestia shook her little nose in Hamura's arms, her face was intoxicated, and she looked very cute.
All around, there are lines of sight that contain various emotions.
What made Hamura care was a gaze with unknown meaning cast from the seat in front of him, this was a beautiful woman with long silver-white hair, looking only about 20 years old, with a tall and graceful figure, hair standing up in a refreshing ponytail, fair and delicate skin, a pair of silver beautiful eyes with the same color as his hair, with an unknown meaning looking at him who was hugged by Hestia.
"Very strong!"
Hamura was keenly aware of the faint momentum that naturally emanated from this woman, and she was definitely not weaker than Hestia and Yakumo Purple, and she should also be a powerhouse at the level of the Six Dao.
Seeing Yakumo Purple sitting next to this woman, Hamura had a number in his heart.
When Hamura looked over, the silver-haired woman nodded, and said hello.
The silver-haired woman was expressionless, turned her gaze away from Hamura, took a sip of tea indifferently, and then folded her arms, leaned against the back of the chair and closed her eyes.
"Yu Yu, I have something I want to ask you about."
After Hestia and Hamura also sat down, she spoke directly.
"What's the matter?"
Seeing that the little goddess had a serious look in her eyes, Hamura couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Two days ago, two cities in the Sahara Desert were destroyed, not even by the enforcers who guarded them."
Hestia's expression was calm, but she clenched her small fists, "We must quickly find out the perpetrators of these invasions, otherwise there will definitely be poisonous hands in the city, but it is not easy to find them, so I need your help from Yuyu." ”
"If I can help, I won't sit idly by, but what can I do?"
He could only exert the power of the six pinnacles in the core world, and it was not easy for him to find those guys who were hiding in the third area.
"The criminals who break in are very cunning, and they will disguise themselves as ordinary people, even ordinary SS law enforcers may not be able to see through them, and it will become very troublesome to search as soon as they come out."
Yakumo Zi said: "However, since the third region is under the rule of the Heavenly Eye, and the foundation has not been shaken by the monsters for countless years, our organization naturally has a corresponding method."
Borrowing the power of the Sky Eye, you can lock on to the existence of those with supernatural abilities, but in order to activate the Sky Eye, you must gather four SSS-level powerhouses. ”
"I see."
Hamura nodded. It's just a little confusing, aren't there 23 supreme rulers in Tianyan? Why are you looking for him, someone who is not from the Tianyan Organization?
Yakumo Zi winked at him, and her voice came from her ears, "Hamura, after all, you have great power, if you show it in the future, you will be afraid if you don't join Tianyan, and the little goddess is paving the way for you, if you have the merit of helping Tianyan this time, you will show your strength in the future, plus we and the little goddess will cover, you don't have to worry about Tianyan's interference." ”
Hamura glanced at Hestia funny, this little goddess still thought about him so much, which made him feel a little moved.
"Okay, when will we act?"
"The sooner the better!"
The little goddess got up and propped up a pair of small hands on the table, "I have already made arrangements, SS-level enforcers are on standby at any time, and I have also transferred ten SS-level enforcers from the first and second regions, as long as we lock on those criminals with the eye of the sky, we can immediately punish them with justice!" ”
