On January 11, the weather was fine.

The city of Chonan is located in the south, so in January, the temperature hovers between 0 and 10 degrees Celsius, but due to the recent rainfall, the sky is a little cold and humid, and people who go out are now wearing heavy coats and down jackets.

Liang Yu is no exception, today she made an appointment with Chen Nan and Zhu Ying to meet in the most prosperous city center in Qiunan, because the largest Takiyue Book City in Qiunan is here.

Don't forget, today is the day of the release of the first volume of the single book of "Chess Soul".

Originally, Liang Yu didn't plan to move the crowd so much, Chen Nan, Zhu Ying, Fang Qing, plus Yuwen Tong and Liao Yuqing, who came with her side, there were a total of 6 people. Pity her, at first, she only planned to hide in the corner and take a look, but now, she can't even attract attention.

"Ann, Ann, we're not going to mess around." Zhu Ying waved her hand to Liang Yu and Chen Nan, who were a little uneasy, before entering the door, but her assurance was the same as Yuwen Tong's packing ticket, and she also had no credibility.

Today is a day off, so there are a lot of people in Takizuki Book City.

Because it is the largest one in Qiunan City, there are many books here, which are divided into two floors, covering an area of more than 600 square meters. Just like a library, most books are sorted by labels on the shelves, but in front of the cash register near the entrance, there are two rows of low shelves, waist-high for adults, which are popular recommendations for the latest popular titles.

Only the books that have been on the shelves in the latest month are placed here, and they have to have a certain amount of heat, Liang Yu walked over and took a look, and found that his "Chess Soul" was placed on the third booth, and there was also a small label classification on it, comics.

Regarding the physical book of comics, Liang Yu and Chen Nan received the sample issue from the editorial department as soon as possible, but the feeling of holding the book in the bookstore is still different from what I imagined. The heart beats violently in the chest, and the excitement cannot be calmed.

"Ah, I found it, over here, over here." Suddenly, there were two more young girls' voices beside Liang Yu.

"Hey, is it necessary to travel all this way to buy a comic?"

"Because it's only on the market today, it's not sold anywhere else." The middle school girl with her hair tied into a double ponytail bent down, took down a copy of "Chess Soul" on the shelf, stared at the cover and smiled: "Is the cover Ah Guang, so cute." ”

"Why do you like this comic, you can't even play Go." The female companion on the side complained.

"Hey, if you don't read it, you won't understand it." The girl with the double ponytail flipped through a few pages, then closed it contentedly and walked in the direction of the cash register, "It's really beautiful." ”

"Then wait until you're done, then lend me a look."

Watching the two girls walk away, Chen Nan and the others surrounded Liang Yu.

"Sell a copy."

"Isn't that a good start?"

Faced with the questioning of his companions, Liang Yu and Chen Nan, the two original authors of the comics, glanced at each other and did not answer.

At this time, another boy who looked like a college student walked to the bookshelf and glanced at it a few times, he saw the "Chess Soul" on the shelf today, turned a few pages, and did not read it in detail, and suddenly felt the sight of Rumang on his back. He turned his head and saw a group of girls staring at him, one of them was particularly beautiful.

No, I don't think I did anything weird. The boy who thought like this still couldn't resist the pressure, put "Chess Soul" back in its place, and fled in a hurry.

"No, we're just here like this, and it's too much pressure on the people who buy books." In the end, Fang Qing made a summary.

"What then?"

"Anyway, let's spread out first, don't crowd here, just find something in your hand, just stand there and pretend to read."

"It's worthy of Aqing!" Everyone dispersed according to her method, but in the end, a group of high school students were too young to learn detectives, and their eyes from time to time still attracted the attention of the cashier over there.

On duty today are two part-time college students and the store manager Chen Meixi.

"I said, Sister Chen, what are those high school students doing?" The newcomer Xiaowen asked, even the book business has not been easy to do recently, and stealing books is not uncommon, and Liang Yu's sneaky little actions still arouse people's suspicions.

But the store manager named Sister Chen just glanced over there with his eyes half-closed, and quickly withdrew his gaze: "Ah, that, you don't have to worry about it, it's okay." ”

"But Sister Chen ......"

"They're supposed to be the authors of some book that just hit the shelves, and in that position, well, it should be a comic."

"Comic book author, really?" What she actually wants to say is how can she be so young, judging from her looks and clothes, the other party should be a high school student.

In the face of Xiaowen's surprise, Sister Chen smiled and shrugged her shoulders, this is the first time Xiaowen has seen this situation, but it is not uncommon for her to be the manager of Takiyue Book City in Qiunan City, after all, Fantasy Magazine is in Qiunan City, and it is not uncommon for authors to come over to see the release date of the work, but these are relatively young in front of them.

"Ah, there's another person passing by." Xiaoqin is Xiaowen's senior, and she has encountered what Sister Chen said a few times, but she still feels fresh.

"Look at those girls, they're staring, staring, ah, look at that disappointed expression, I shouldn't have bought it."

"No, I've already taken it, but it shouldn't be their comics," Sister Chen casually flipped through the data on the computer: "The comic on the shelves today is "Chess Soul". ”

"Really? I'm also chasing that comic, and the author is here? By the way, I did see that the Red Dragon Award was written on it for middle school students! Probably because he was too excited, the salesman named Xiaowen had a hint of flush on his face.

"Hey, Xiaowen, you're a little incoherent when you speak." Xiaoqin glanced at her companion narrowly, and then looked at the bookcase amusemently: "Which one is the author, the tall one, or the tomboy?" ”

Business in the bookstore is like this, there is not a while, and chatting in leisure time is also an option to pass the time.

"The magazine doesn't publish the author's picture." And of course, as a cartoonist's avatar, it's usually something they scribble out of their pen. When Liang Yu and Chen Nan released a single book, the editorial department asked them for an avatar, Liang Yu chose a cat, and Chen Nan made an avatar with a dog.

I remember that Chen Nan once said that she likes dogs, but it is too troublesome to actually raise them. In the past, her father at home did not allow it, but now in the studio, in addition to her, there are assistants, editors and Liang Yu occasionally come, so she finally gave up.

The topic is far away, so let's go back to the topic just now.

In response to Xiaoqin's question, Sister Chen replied casually: "The person who won't buy it later must be the author of the comic." ”

"Huh?"

"It's usually like this, if the other party comes alone, then they will usually buy several copies back, if the other party comes with friends, then they should all be friends, and the author himself will be embarrassed." Sister Chen's words made Xiaowen stunned, and she almost regarded it as a classic, who knew that Sister Chen added a sentence at the end: "But it is also possible to buy them all or not at all, who knows." ”

This is actually equivalent to not saying it, but someone will come to check out with a book, Xiaowen and the others immediately put on a smiling face, and they were busy with the cashier, and they didn't have time to continue the topic.

Liang Yu and they stayed in the bookstore all morning, and as far as the results are concerned, hundreds of copies of "Chess Soul" were sold in the morning, Liang Yu didn't know what the results were, but the salesman over there came to replenish the goods at least 3 times in a row, which should be pretty good.

It was the campers' smiling eyes every time they looked at this side, which made Liang Yu and the others very embarrassed, and they felt as if they had been exposed, so they didn't dare to go over in the afternoon.
