Chapter 19: Don't offend the author
What magical effects will appear after a copy of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" changes hands systematically, Ma Feifei himself is not clear.
But the hope that Yang Chengzhi can achieve self-redemption and whether Ma Feifei's original work can be completed is pinned on this book.
But what broke Ma Feifei's heart was that Yang Chengzhi's reading speed was too slow, even more exaggerated than Zhou Zhuya's! This was all a weekend later, and Yang Chengzhi successfully broke the record of the slowest book reading in the history of the Magic Bookstore with an average speed of one chapter per day.
It is estimated that it will take a month for Yang Chengzhi to read this million-word novel.
Ma Feifei is really in a hurry!
However, Yang Chengzhi was more anxious than him.
Yang Chengzhi didn't think it was a bad thing to read books slowly, he was anxious as if his spirit crystal was not enough...
These days, I have spent more than 70 spirit crystals just to read this "Shooting the Condor", plus I need to practice after returning every day, and there are not many spirit crystals left in my bag now, and I can't even pay for tomorrow's reading fee...
It's kind of embarrassing...
"Hey..." Yang Chengzhi sighed lightly, opened "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and continued to watch. In my heart, I thought that tomorrow I would pawn the spirit sword on my waist or go to the Nine Mountains to hunt some spirit beasts?
These days, without spirit crystals, you can't even read this book!
But this book is really good! And Yang Chengzhi feels that every time he reads this book, he will have some insights in his mind, and when he goes back to practice at night, he will get twice the result with half the effort, and the cultivation that has not advanced an inch for two years has actually loosened some phenomena, which is really amazing.
Especially two days ago, I saw the fifth episode of "Bending the Bow and Shooting the Condor", in which the Taoist priest taught Guo Jing the method of breathing, sitting, walking, and sleeping, Yang Chengzhi tried to follow along, and found that it could cause the aura fluctuations of physical strength.
"Could it be that this is a book of cultivation exercises?" Yang Chengzhi, who was surprised, was even more obsessed with reading books, even when he was practicing, he was not as diligent as he was reading.
But what he never expected was that he had no money!
Once upon a time, he was also destitute, and he also struggled to get a few spirit crystals.
But how many years ago was that? Five years, ten years? Yang Chengzhi couldn't remember clearly, Yang Chengzhi only knew that since he showed his extraordinary cultivation talent, he had never worried about the spirit crystal.
Although it is not a lot, it is enough to support his practice.
Especially after being marked on the Dragon List, the academy would reward him with 1,000 spirit crystals every year, so that he could cultivate with peace of mind, which also made Yang Chengzhi's cultivation path never reach the point of 'no crystals available'.
But now...
"Let's go hunt spirit beasts tomorrow, the spirit sword is too bad. After Yang Chengzhi made a decision, he put aside his distracting thoughts and began to read this book "Shooting the Condor".
......
Ma Feifei naturally didn't know that Yang Chengzhi was worried about the lack of spirit crystals, even if he knew, it would be useless.
It's absolutely impossible to read books without giving money, it's impossible in this life.
This is a rule set by the system, and it is not easy for anyone to do it.
However, Ma Feifei didn't have time to worry about whether Yang Chengzhi had money or not, he was going to entertain new customers now, and Zhou Zhuya came to the door.
Counting the days, I really haven't seen Zhou Zhuya for a while, I miss it very much, when Zhou Zhuya approached the bookstore, Ma Feifei's eyes began to flicker.
Zhou Zhuya's face is not very good, although she has not returned to the look when Ma Feifei first saw her, but there is no trace of ruddy on that little face, and she looks sickly.
"Has Miss Zhou been feeling unwell lately?" asked Ma Feifei with concern. He really didn't know much about Zhou Zhuya's condition, so he didn't know that Zhou Zhuya was terminally ill, but he thought that Zhou Zhuya had been weak and sickly since he was a child.
Zhou Zhuya didn't seem to have forgotten what happened last time, her little face lowered slightly, she didn't dare to look directly at Ma Feifei's gaze, and said in a low voice: "Well, I was sick again yesterday." ”
Ma Feifei remembered the scene of the first time Zhou Zhuya vomited blood, which was a symptom of her illness, and suddenly Ma Feifei's kindness burst out, and he said anxiously: "I am riddled with diseases, and I must be treated in time! ”
When Zhou Zhuya heard this, she glanced up at Ma Feifei and said meaningfully: "I'm here to treat the disease!"
When Zhou Zhuya finished reading the book "Half an Acre of Flower Field", he unexpectedly found that the aura of the often riotous in his body suddenly decreased a lot, although it did not completely dissipate, but Zhou Zhuya's body recovered a lot. So much so that for so many days, even if Zhou Zhuya didn't come to the bookstore to read, except for yesterday, her illness has never had a single attack.
Even if it was yesterday, the symptoms were not as scary as before, but he was tired, his face was sick, and he did not vomit blood.
At this time, if Zhou Zhuya can't guess the reason for this situation in her body, then she is afraid that she is really stupid.
Ma Feifei was stunned for a moment, and then thought of the changes in the past few days after Zhou Zhuya came to the bookstore, and then thought of the book "Half an Acre of Flower Field" that Zhou Zhuyan read.
Could it be that the book "Half an Acre of Flowers" treated this girl's injuries? ’
Zhou Zhuya can say this, which proves that the book "Half an Acre of Flower Field" did treat her condition, but the condition does not seem to be cured, Zhou Zhuya had a seizure yesterday, so I came to read the book today.
"Ox breaking! Even if you can cultivate for a long time by reading books, you can actually cure diseases! Ma Feifei couldn't help but sigh.
Although there were many speculations before, it was speculation after all, and there was no proof of facts to shock.
Although Ma Feifei is the owner of the system, he is no different from others, and he has no idea what kind of benefits the books provided by the system can bring to readers.
Reading books can increase cultivation, which Ma Feifei affirmed after seeing Zhao Xiaodao jump six paragraphs in a row.
Now I see the effect of Zhou Zhuya's condition being cured.
'Is there any other function in the book?' Ma Feifei couldn't help but think.
......
"The shopkeeper?"
Zhou Zhuya saw Ma Feifei suddenly distracted, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time, so he couldn't help but speak.
"Ahh ”
Speaking of this, Ma Feifei seemed to think of something, pointed to the bookshelf and said: "There have been several new books in the past two days, one of which was occupied by that guest, and one of which was placed next to "Half an Acre of Flower Field", called "Huanzhu Gege", which is very interesting, you can take a look." ”
Zhou Zhuya is an old customer, and if she goes to see "Half an Acre of Flower Field" again, she won't increase the number of readers, what's the use of just earning some spirit crystals, so as the owner, Ma Feifei couldn't help but sell it.
"Funny name. Zhou Zhuya pondered for a while, left a sufficient number of spirit crystals, paced to the bookshelf, found the book "Huanzhu Gege", and found a place to sit down and read.
Although she is here to treat her illness, she also likes to read the content of the stories in the book very much, and the books in it seem to have the effect of suppressing her condition, so with the new book, Zhou Zhuya is still very interested.
Coincidentally, Zhou Zhuyan sits on the north side with his back to the bookshelf, and Yang Chengzhi sits on the south side, also with his back to the bookshelf. In this way, the two of them became face to face, separated by two tables and a small open space in between.
As soon as Yang Chengzhi looked up, he saw Zhou Zhuya.
The two looked at each other.
Zhou Zhuya smiled slightly, which was regarded as a hello.
Yang Chengzhi was stunned by this smile, and looked at Zhou Zhuya stupidly.
"What a beautiful girl!" Yang Chengzhi secretly admired in his heart, this is the most beautiful woman he has ever seen in his twenty-six years of life, and there is no one.
Especially the slight smile, it simply melted Yang Chengzhi's heart.
"Brother Yang, can you still read this book?"
Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of Yang Chengzhi, just in the middle of the two of them. Yang Chengzhi looked up and saw Ma Feifei's smiling face with a 'smile'.
"Ahem. Yang Chengzhi came back to his senses and said embarrassedly: "Of course, read and read." ”
How can this feeling seem to have the feeling of peeking at other people's daughters-in-law when they are caught by their husbands? Yang Chengzhi is a little strange. However, Yang Chengzhi still retracted his thoughts and continued to read, after all, no matter how beautiful Zhou Zhuya is, it can't compare to this "Legend of the Condor Heroes", Yang Chengzhi is in it, and he really benefits a lot, especially the more he sees the back, the more he feels so.
"It is estimated that in two days, I will be able to break through to the seventh stage of the spirit master!"
"This book is truly magical. ”
......
Yang Chengzhi sighed at the extraordinaryness of "Shooting the Condor", but Ma Feifei jumped angrily.
"This Yang Chengzhi is definitely going to write death, write death!" Ma Feifei returned to his seat, staring at the book "Yang Chengzhi's Revenge" written with Yang Chengzhi as the protagonist, and said hatefully.
"Damn, such a cute and beautiful girl, I haven't even started to act yet, do you have an idea?" Ma Feifei said as he poked the unfinished book with his pen. It's just that the quality of the paper is too good, and I can't see a hole after poking it for a long time.
However, in Ma Feifei's heart, he was already thinking about the final death of Yang Chengzhi in this book.
"Yang Chengzhi must die, but he has to think of a way to die that does not affect the plot, and he can't let readers have an opinion on Yang Chengzhi's death. ”
"Readers should not only accept, but also show pity and sadness for the death of the protagonist, and a trace of regret in satisfaction, so that the quality of the book can be raised to a higher level!" Ma Feifei thought.
The more he thought about it, the more Ma Feifei felt that this matter was feasible. In previous lives, many widely circulated books, TV series, movies, etc., generally had a more tragic ending.
For example, Titanic, the actor died at the end, but this movie was a hot mess, and nine out of ten people who watched the movie came out crying.
For example, in the novel "Alive", the relatives around the protagonist died one after another, and in the end, he was left with a cow to live together, this novel is also powerful, not only was it made into a film and won awards at international film festivals, but the author of the novel was awarded the Chevalier de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres de France, and it was translated into various languages and distributed around the world, which was a mess.
You see, only a tragic ending can set off the excellence and greatness of the work! Therefore, Yang Chengzhi must die!
Well, don't offend the author.
