This is a bookstore that is located diagonally across from the school gate, and mainly sells teaching materials for students.

Tang Mingyao walked around inside and found that on one of the bookshelves, there were extracurricular books.

Here, he unexpectedly saw Jingu Huangliangwen, as well as Huang Yi, Wo Longsheng, and Sima Ling...... and some strange people who came in, such as one named "Jin Yongxin".

In addition, Tang Mingyao also saw a familiar name in it.

Martial Arts Supreme!

The complete set of 1~5 volumes is here, next to the works of several other famous artists, put together.

He picked up the first volume and flipped through it casually, the paper smelled of ink, but there were raw edges on the edges, which were obviously traces of someone turning over, and it was obvious that it had been placed here for a long time.

"Classmate, do you want to buy books? You really have an eye, this book is a hit this year, and it sells very well! Don't look at the author who is not as famous as Jin Yong's ancient dragons, but the writing is very good, I have read it myself, and you won't regret buying it back......"

Tang Mingyao looked at the shopkeeper: "Where is the look?"

"It was very enjoyable, it was a pleasure to watch! Lu saw the injustice and pulled out a knife to help, and if he was bullied, he would take revenge and come back......"

"I see that your book has been translated like this, and it hasn't been sold, is it really that good to sell? You're not lying to me, are you? ”

"Young man, you don't know, my store is here, and it's a student business. If you don't let the students see first, who will pay for it with real money? This set is specially placed for people to see, you want to buy it, I will bring you a new one. ”

Tang Mingyao shook his head: "I still don't want it."

As he spoke, he was about to go out.

"Hey, don't go, this book is really good! You buy it back, and if it doesn't look good, come back to me, and I'll lose double the money to you! Otherwise, you can read one copy in my store first, and then you can buy the rest? ”

Tang Mingyao turned around and said solemnly: "Thank you, I really don't need it, I already have it at home."

The shopkeeper was stunned, looked at Tang Mingyao's back, and muttered, "What else are you going to turn over at home?"

He returned to the store, put the bookshelves in order, took out the first volume of the Martial Arts Supreme, and said to himself: "It's boring to sit here, why don't you take it out and read it again."

Returning to his chair, he looked at it with relish.

Here Tang Mingyao walked out of the bookstore, and didn't go far when he saw a rented bookstore again, and walked in again.

This time I went in, and the experience was not so pleasant.

Because the books rented in the bookstore are basically pirated.

In addition to the pirated version of "Martial Dao Supreme" found inside, even the pirated version of "Immortal Dao Boundless" came out.

His Xianxia has not yet finished being serialized, and it can only be two-thirds of the serialized, and it is naturally impossible for a pirated book to have a complete story.

Tang Mingyao flipped through it, and only about the first 400,000 words were compressed in a huge thick book, not only the paper quality was very poor, the font was also very small, and there were a lot of typos, and occasionally one or two pages were torn up, and I don't know where to go.

Tang Mingyao couldn't help but be speechless: What are you tearing, I don't even have a bit of explicit plot here, what's the use of tearing those two pages back? This kind of paper hurts to wipe your buttocks.

I asked the boss, such a thick book, the rent is only five cents a day, and the deposit is ten yuan, which can be said to be cheap and fair.

However, Tang Mingyao suddenly felt an indescribable anger.

Before his genuine version came out, this pirated copy appeared in a rental bookstore, and it was so cheap, this was robbing his own money.

Then he looked around and looked around the bookstores near the school, and found that several of them had their own pirated copies.

It's really Tesco.

Back at the school gate, waiting for Luo Wenxi to come out, Tang Mingyao asked her about her status, and learned that she did not do well in the exam, so she didn't say anything.

In the afternoon, Tang Mingyao found an Internet café to surf the Internet, contacted the editor of "Ancient Legends", and raised his publishing problem.

The other party replied that their magazine does not do copyright, and if it wants to publish, the editorial department can contact the publishing house of the brother unit.

Tang Mingyao agreed.

It didn't take long for me to receive a reply that I was willing to publish it.

In fact, no one would be unwilling, although Tang Mingyao is not particularly good in the publishing industry now, but the last book is also a best-selling standard, and there are a bunch of emails in his mailbox that are going to be published for him, but he thought he could put it away first, so he never replied.

Today, stimulated by piracy, he felt that it was better to publish it first, at least to publish the simplified version first.

The reason why he asked the editorial department of "Ancient Legends" first was because he felt that the publishing house backed by the magazine had an extra layer of relationship, and he was a little more relieved, so he asked them such a sentence.

It's just that this publishing house is willing to pay willingly, but the price given is not high, which is similar to his last book, which is 10% royalty.

Tang Mingyao didn't say anything, and directly sent a screenshot of the emails in the mailbox, with a row of publishing intentions in it, and after a while, there was no bargaining there, and the royalties were directly increased by 2% to him.

This price is considered to be the top tier in the industry.

Tang Mingyao felt that it was almost over, so he didn't continue to bargain and agreed.

After discussions, the publisher will publish the first three volumes that have been published so far, which are expected to be completed by the end of the year.

So on the first day of Luo Wenxi's high school entrance examination, Tang Mingyao directly finalized such an important matter as publishing in the Internet café, without even blinking an eye.

After the exam ended, I waited for more than half a month, and the results and admissions gradually came down.

Without any suspense, Luo Wenxi was directly promoted to the high school of the school. Based on her grades, the key class should be relatively safe, and her status as an art student is a certainty.

A well-behaved girl, she basically doesn't have to worry about anything at home, Tang Mingyao is a little envious of Luo's father and Luo's mother.

When she ended here, the time entered July, and this time it was Tang Mingyao's turn to enter the examination room.

There were still a few days left, and the family was nervous, and even her mother Li Qiong rushed over from the county seat, so in order to wash and cook for her son every day and prepare for the college entrance examination, Tang Lingfeng was left alone in the county seat.

"You, don't be nervous when you go to the exam room, you know?"

"It's the same as usual!"

"Remember to bring stationery and admission tickets, and remember to turn back and forth when making papers, so as not to miss the questions."

Tang Mingyao's mouth should be in harmony with his parents' words, and he felt that they were more nervous than himself.

In fact, he himself is not nervous at all, only in a fighting state, fighting for the top prize in the college entrance examination! Even if he fails, his grades will not be much worse, and the schools and majors he wants to go to are more than poked by his strength.

On July 7, under the watchful eyes of his parents and girlfriend, Tang Mingyao traveled lightly and walked into the examination room.

After the language test paper was issued, Tang Mingyao first roughly flipped through the papers, all of which were within his ability, and then prepared to enter the robot state and start answering the questions.

But when he saw the composition, he was slightly stunned.

The title goes like this: the paper begins with a fable and then asks for an essay on the topic of integrity, which can be written about your experiences, experiences, feelings, opinions, and beliefs......

He is too familiar with this topic.

The Death of a Red Rabbit in a Past Life" became a model for college entrance examination essays and was widely circulated, Tang Mingyao remembered this essay, but forgot what year it was.

Now when he sees the exam questions, he immediately remembers, it should be this year!
