Chapter 10: The New Book Boom
On the first and second day, Zuo Xiaoyou's new book was officially put on sale, and at noon, Kagura Saka Calamus called: "Teacher Zuo, congratulations, the new book is on fire, and the book is a god." ”
In the classroom, Zuo Xiaoyou ate a bento and asked, "How much has it sold?" ”
"In one morning, 46,000 copies have been sold." Kagurazaka Iris was excited: "Although the pre-sale is included, this result is already the highest half-day sales volume of the Dengeki Bunko this year, congratulations to you, teacher, if everything goes well, the sales of the first volume of the new book are likely to exceed 500,000 copies, and the second printing has been confirmed." ”
Zuo Xiaoyou smiled happily: "I didn't expect the results to be so good, Kagurazaka-sama, thank you for your continued support, otherwise the new book would never have such good results." ”
"Everywhere, everything is about the teacher's efforts, I just did what I should do."
After a commercial blow to each other, Kagura Saka said: "Teacher left and right, it's rare for a new book to get such a good grade, do you want to do a signing event?" ”
"Well, I'll think about it."
"Please say yes, if you can, how about next Saturday? The location is in Akihabara. Kagurazaka iris pleaded earnestly.
After a moment of silence, Zuo Xiaoyou said: "Okay, I agreed." ”
Kagura Saka said excitedly: "Great, the preparation activities for the signing are all handed over to me, and the left and right teachers only need to be ready to show up that day." We'll talk about the details later, so we won't bother the teacher. ”
"Where, goodbye then."
Hang up.
"Zuo Jun, congratulations!" Megumi Kato had a smile in her eyebrows: "Although I don't know much, the writers who can sign are very popular!" Congratulations. ”
"Thank you." Zuo Xiaoyou nodded with a smile: "I didn't expect the first day of sales of the new book to be so good." Hmm, should we hold a celebration party? ”
"Wouldn't that be great!" Megumi Kato smiled, "I believe it will be very lively to celebrate with family and friends." ”
"That's right." Zuo Xiaoyou nodded, looked at Megumi Kato, and said with a smile: "Then Kato, I now officially invite you to participate in the celebration held at my house, please be sure to come." ”
"Huh? May I? Megumi Kato was a little surprised: "Do I need to prepare a gift?" ”
"As long as people arrive." Zuo Xiaoyou smiled and said, "I'll be ready for these." After a pause: "Tomorrow is Saturday, so be it!" It's noon tomorrow, and in addition to Kato, I'll also invite Ryonya, Kasumigaoka-san, and Eiri Ri to participate. ”
"Huh? In that case, it's like yesterday at a coffee shop! Kemichi Kato.
"It's still different." Shaking his head: "In addition to these people, I will also invite a neighbor to participate, my neighbor is also a light writer, and he is the top author in the light world, and I will introduce you to you when the time comes." ”
"I always feel that Zuo Jun is very powerful! I know such amazing people. Megumi Kato seemed a little envious.
"If you think about it, they are really not simple characters." Zuo Xiaoyou sandwiched a tonkatsu from Megumi Kato's lunch box and said: "Even the seemingly most inconspicuous Lun is a well-known two-dimensional blogger, and he has a great influence in the industry. ”
"Huh? Isn't it me the most inconspicuous? Kemichi Kato.
"Nothing like that." Zuo Xiaoyou shook his head and said, "Kato, you just don't realize your charm, in my eyes, you are more dazzling than Kasumigaoka-senpai and Yingli Pear, and you are my dream marriage partner." ”
"Huh? Although I don't quite understand, was I confessed by Zuo Jun? Although Megumi Kato was surprised, her expression was as calm as ever, and this kind of temperament was too powerful.
"What do you say?" Zuo Xiaoyou said: "I remember I said it at the opening ceremony!" Women like Kasumigaoka Senpai are too charming, and they will inevitably make waves, and the same is true for Yingli pear. But unexpectedly...... eyes looked at Kato Megumi's face carefully, and said, "Kato, you are a very beautiful, but with hidden attributes. If you think about it carefully, if I can marry you into the family in the future, it can not only satisfy my pursuit of a beautiful wife, but also not worry too much about being remembered by too many men, so as to give birth to waves, which is perfect. ”
There was a pause: "Then again, Kato, how is your femininity?" ”
"Well, it's okay!" Megumi Kato's unchanged expression changed slightly, and he seemed to be a little shy: "Does Zuo-kun really want to pursue me?" After all, I'm so inconspicuous than you, Sister Kasumigaoka and Yingli Pear. ”
"Kato, I told you! If you are a marriage partner, you are much better than Kasumigaoka-senpai and Eiri Riri. Zuo Xiaoyou looked into her eyes and said, "And although we have only known each other for two days, when we are with you, it makes me very relaxed and comfortable, if possible, I do hope to pursue you on the premise of marriage." ”
After a pause: "But after all, we have only known each other for two days, and this kind of thing is a bit too sudden for you and me, so I think we can continue to contact, and if after a while, we feel okay with each other, then I will formally request you Kato." Kato, what do you mean? ”
"Hmm...... Yes! Kato Hui lowered his eyes slightly and said, "Zuo Jun is still as rational as ever!" ”
"Marriage is a big event, it's not a child's play." Zuo Xiaoyou said: "But Kato, don't be pressured, after all, the relationship is mutual, even if I really like what you like to death after a long time of contact, but if you don't like me, I won't force it." Speaking of this, he turned his head to look out the window and sighed softly: "After all, barely you will not be happy." ”
Megumi Kato looked at him and said softly, "Well, too!" ”
After lunch, Zuo Xiaoyou opened the WeChat group, this group was just established yesterday, and there were five people in it: He and An Yilunya, Kasumigaoka Shiyu, Yingli and Kato Megumi were five people.
After he questioned An Yilun yesterday, An Yilun was also shocked, but finally expressed his determination: "I want to make a game that makes everyone's heart pound, and I want everyone to realize the charm of Kato!" No matter how difficult the actual conditions are, I will never give up! ”
Although it was just some seemingly empty words without any substance, everyone present felt his determination, so Zuo Xiaoyou did not embarrass him, but only put forward some prerequisites for making games, which need to be solved by An Yilun himself, and only after solving it and being recognized by everyone, can the production of games be put on the agenda.
His suggestions are all dry goods, including Kasumigaoka Shiyu and Yingli Li, who are very much appreciated, and An Yilun is also grateful. So in order to allow the five people to contact each other at any time in the future, An Yilun also established this WeChat group, and all five people joined the group.
I thought that this group would be idle for a long time.,Even if you use it, it's a game-related topic.,I didn't expect the first topic to appear was actually his new book big sale celebration.。
"Celebration?" Shiyu of Kasumigaoka on the rooftop, Ying Li Li in the atrium, and An Yilun in the toilet also saw the invitation to the celebration released by Zuo Xiaoyou in the group and replied one after another.
An Yilun also: "The celebration of the big sale of the teacher's new book!" Uh-oh-oh-oh-oh~~~~~ I'll definitely be participating! ”
Kasumigaoka Shiyu: "The first invitation of the junior, as a senior sister, I agreed. ”
Eriri Sawamura: "I'll be there on time." ”
Megumi Kato: "Don't you really need to bring a gift?" ”
Left and right: "It's enough to bring your stomach." I will cook and prepare a gorgeous table of Chinese food, so stay tuned. ”
An Yilun also: "Hmm, oh, oh, oh, ”
Kasumigaoka Shiyu: "Ah, I didn't expect the junior to be full of female power!" She must be a good wife in the future. ”
Zuo Xiaoright: "No, no matter how I say I'm a man." ”
Kasumigaoka Shiyu: "In front of me, the junior can be a woman, and I will train you well." ”
Ying Lili: "Oh~~ It's dirty!" ”
Left small right: "......"
……
When I got home from school in the afternoon, Zuo Xiaoyou was preparing dinner, and the Yamada fairy dressed in a goth loli costume came uninvited.
"You smell it, don't you?" Zuo Xiaoyou couldn't help but complain, as long as he was ready to cook these days, the Yamada fairy would definitely come on time, I really don't know if she is a dog's nose?
"Foolish servant, it is your honor that Miss Ben is here in person." The Yamada fairy's middle two aura exploded again.
Zuo Xiaoyou glanced at her expressionlessly, picked up the kitchen knife and cut the vegetables silently.
"Shh Seeing that Zuo Xiaoyou ignored her, she was not interested in playing treasure alone, so she simply threw herself on the sofa and played the PSP game.
Half an hour later, Zuo Xiaoyou took off his apron, held the tray of yarn mist, and said, "Stop playing, go wash your hands." ”
"Got it, finish this game." Yamada Fairy pressed the button fiercely with both hands: "Treasure!" Treasure! My Noble Phantasm! ”
“……”
Second floor.
Left Xiaoright knocked on the door: "Shawu, dinner is ready." ”
The door opened, and Sha Wu showed dissatisfaction, and said, "Brother, why is she here again?" ”
"If you promise to illustrate her, she won't come and pester her every day." Zuo Xiaoyou said helplessly: "Yamada Fairy is a top writer in the light world, why don't you want to draw illustrations for her?" ”
"Because I'm going to paint for my brother." Sawu let Zuo Xiaoyou in: "Except for my brother, I don't want to illustrate anyone's work." ”
Zuo Xiaoyou's heart warmed, and he was moved: "Shawu, thank you." But I don't want to limit your options because of myself, I want you to be better and have a wider range of options. ”
"......" Sawu sat down at the table and said, "I'm hungry." ”
"Let's eat!" Put the tray on the table, left and right: "I'll go down to entertain the Yamada fairy first, and put the dishes and chopsticks in front of the door after eating." ”
“…… Well. ”
……
Downstairs, Zuo Xiaoyou and Yamada Fairy were eating dinner face to face, Yamada Fairy was eating big mouthfuls while complaining: "How many times have I said, don't make dinner too greasy, I've been fat these days." ”
Zuo Xiaoyou said lightly: "Green tea is greasy, but you always drink the black tea you brought, who is to blame." ”
"Humph!" The Yamada fairy is speechless.
"That's right." Zuo Xiaoyou said: "Tomorrow at noon, I will hold a celebration party for the sale of new books at my house, and I have invited a few classmates to participate, so you can come too!" ”
"Okay!" Yamada Fairy loves to be lively, but he still asked with some curiosity, "Is today's sales counted?" ”
"Hmm." Zuo Xiaoyou nodded: "Not long ago, Miss Kagurazaka sent a text message, and the sales of the new book today are more than 76,000 copies. ”
"More than seventy-six thousand!?" Yamada Fairy was shocked: "So many!? ”
"I didn't expect it to sell so well." Zuo Xiaoyou smiled: "But thanks to Mr. Yamada's recommendation." ”
This morning, Yamada Fairy's personal blog was updated with a message, the content is very simple, it is a picture of his new book, and four words: "I bought it." ”
Yamada Fairy is a first-line light writer whose cumulative sales of new works have exceeded 2.2 million copies, and he is the king of light newcomers in his own publishing house, with more than 500,000 fans. Although it can't be compared with the millions and tens of millions of people in Da Song, it is already a very amazing number of fans in this part of Japan. If you put it in the Great Song Dynasty, this number should be multiplied by at least 20.
Yamada Fairy advertised Zuo Xiaoyou on his private blog, even if it can only affect one-tenth of the fans, it can bring about 50,000 sales to Zuo Xiaoyou, and today is only the first day, maybe thousands of copies of them are purchased by Yamada Fairy's fans, Zuo Xiaoyou saw this news when he swiped the blog at noon today, and his heart was still very moved.
Although Yamada Fairy is a bad-tempered middle two disease, she is really a good girl who talks about righteousness.
"You got it!" Yamada Fairy waved his hand: "I just bought the new book I want to read, and I will post a blog to share it with my servants, don't get me wrong." ”
"No, it's just a simple thank you to Mr. Yamada for his recommendation." Zuo Xiaoyou said: "But then again, you have eaten so much rice at my house, and it will be good to reward you by posting a recommendation." ”
"That's really unpleasant!" Yamada Fairy glared at him viciously.
"Yamada-sensei doesn't need my reciprocation anyway." Sandwich a piece of braised pork into a Yamada fairy bowl: "Eat more." ”
The Yamada fairy turned cloudy and sunny, and said with an arrogant smile: "Miss Ben is in a good mood today, and this time I will accept the offering of the servant." ”
"If you're not in the second grade, you're still a very attractive woman." Zuo Xiaoyou said.
"I want you to take care of it, long-winded."
……
After dinner, the fairy Yamada played here for a while, and did not return home until ten o'clock in the evening. Sending away the Yamada goblin, Zuo Xiaoyou went to put the bath water, went upstairs and knocked on the door of the house of Sha Wu: "Sha Wu, the bath water is placed, do you want to take a bath?" ”
"For the sake of the ...... Why should you take a bath with your brother? There was a panicked cry from the room.
"It's not about taking a bath with me, it's about you going to take a bath." Zuo Xiaoyou explained helplessly: "Shawu, you haven't taken a bath for a long time!" It's rare that you can already meet and communicate with me normally, so let's improve it a little! ”
After a moment of "......", the veil fog opened the door of the house.
