Chapter eighty-nine, the sale of "Journey to the West".
Donghai City, after Luo Xiao left, Peacock after a day of preparation, printed a thousand copies of "Journey to the West Volume 1", and first put it into the market for experiments, if it is a fire, she can use the power of the entire publishing house to promote "Journey to the West" openly, if the response is not good, she can only find another way.
Then, she spent another three days to publicize, the most important of which was to use newspapers and advertisements to let the people of Donghai City know that a book like "Journey to the West Volume 1" was about to come out.
"The mysterious golden light under the sea?the legendary wish-making dragon?"
The newspapers of Jiangbei City Newspaper are not only spread in Jiangbei City, some big news is shared, and the legend of the dragon, which is very popular in Jiangbei City, appears on the title page of Donghai City Newspaper, and the illustration on the title page is the picture of the dragon taken by reporter Mo Mo.
The dragon in the picture is far away from the photographer, so the photo almost covers the body of the dragon, and the appearance of the dragon has also entered the public eye for the first time.
Most people don't believe it, after all, making a wish or something is as unrealistic as a fairy tale.
Dong Lixia came to Donghai City, took a newspaper from the newspaper office, and when she turned to the title page, she saw the figure of Shenlong, and the corners of her mouth curled.
"It seems that Shenlong is in Dongpinghai. ”
"Are you going to go to Shenlong to make a wish?" Xiao Ling asked.
Dong Lixia shook her head: "No, without the Dragon Ball, even if I am lucky enough to find the Divine Dragon, I will not be able to fulfill my wish." ”
Dong Lixia pointed to the text under the picture of the divine dragon and said: "And you look here, the author of this article has already said that after he came back, he didn't remember the place where he saw the divine dragon, I think this is the power of the divine dragon, and he doesn't want people to find it in this way." ”
"Then let's go find the Dragon Balls!"
"I don't really want Shenlong to fulfill his wish, but you, you don't believe in making a wish, why do you suddenly care so much about Dragon Ball?"
Xiao Ling held her face and said, "Because I want to make myself more beautiful." ”
Dong Lixia was speechless for a moment and said, "You are beautiful enough." ”
Xiao Ling glanced at Dong Lixia and said, "If I am beautiful enough, how can you be indifferent?"
“......”
Dong Lixia coughed, paid for the newspaper, and then walked quickly away from the newspaper with the newspaper, Xiao Ling smiled knowingly and chased after her.
In the middle column of the newspaper, there is an advertising area, and in one of the inconspicuous corners, there is an advertisement for a new book about Kong's Publishing House, which shows that a novel called "Journey to the West" is on sale, and you can buy it in advance at the publishing house.
Dong Lixia read the newspaper while walking, and also saw the advertisement for "Journey to the West", but he didn't care, the title alone couldn't arouse his interest.
"Where are we going?" asked Xiaoling.
"Go find someone who knows everything. Higashikatsu replied.
The two of them came to the edge of Donghai City and found a place called the Know-it-All Book House.
Knock knock knock~
Dong Lixia knocked on the door, and after a while, the door opened, and an old man with white hair and white beard walked out.
"I want to know the whereabouts of a person, I don't know his name, but he looks almost exactly the same as Yan Xingyu, the twelfth prince of the Xia Kingdom, and has a lot to do with the divine dragon that appeared recently. ”
As he spoke, he lifted the newspaper and showed the picture of the dragon.
The know-it-all had a gleam in his eyes and said, "One hundred thousand." ”
"The price has gone up?" Dong Lixia took out a purple card from her pocket, and the purple card said "ten" on it.
Know-it-all took the purple card and said: "The person you are talking about is Luo Xiao of the Luo family in Yangcheng, and now that he has returned to Yangcheng, if you want to find him, just go to Yangcheng to inquire about the Luo family." ”
"Yangcheng ......" Dong Lixia muttered, but he didn't expect him to chase Donghai City, but the other party went to Yangcheng.
Jack-of-all-trades glanced at the advertisement in the middle column of the newspaper and said, "I have a bonus information about Luo Xiao here, do you need it?"
"Absolutely. "Higashikatsu said.
"Luo Xiao left a book in Donghai City, and this is it. The jack-of-all-trades points to "Journey to the West" as mentioned in the newspaper advertisement.
"Journey to the West?"
Dong Lixia didn't expect that the advertisement that he ignored had something to do with Luo Xiao.
"You didn't lie to me, did you?" Higashikatsu looked at the know-it-all suspiciously.
"I never lie. "Everything is in the way.
For Luo Xiao's sake, Dong Lixia suspiciously went to Kong's Publishing House to buy a copy of "Journey to the West, Volume 1", and then found a tea restaurant to sit down and study the book.
At the beginning, the setting was complicated and jerky and difficult to understand, if it weren't for knowing that the author of this book was Luo Xiao, Dong Lixia would have abandoned the book when she saw these dense settings.
It wasn't until the stone monkey apprenticeship that he finally aroused his interest.
In the past, the protagonist of the novel apprenticed to learn the arts, and learned the most skills, but the stone monkey in "Journey to the West" learned the art of immortality!
Just as science fiction on the earth can drive the development of science and technology to a certain extent, in this world with extraordinary powers, a novel of gods and demons also has some influence on the development of the world.
When people saw the Monkey King seeking eternal life, they couldn't help but sigh, in the face of time, human beings are like mayflies!
Moreover, there are long species in this world, such as dragons, elves, naga, mermaids...... There is no harm if there is no comparison, and compared with the immortal species, human beings with an average lifespan of less than 100 years are more eager for immortality.
In the book "Journey to the West", immortality, an ability that human beings are extremely eager for, can actually be obtained through "learning"!
You must know that in this otherworldly novel, even if there are human beings in the book who have achieved immortality, it is because of external factors such as demonic curses, divine blessings, and devouring divine objects, and there is no setting for learning immortality by one's own will, so "learning immortality" is an absolutely novel and attractive setting!
"It's worthy of Luo Xiao! With this setting, this "Journey to the West" will definitely cause shock to the whole world!" Dong Lixia said firmly.
"Is there such an exaggeration?" Xiao Ling didn't believe it.
Dong Lixia thought for a while and said: "It's really an exaggeration, the name and beginning of this book are not very attractive, and you need to read it line by line and word by word to understand the mystery, young people are so impetuous nowadays, I am afraid that they will miss this divine book." ”
After a pause, he added: "Even so, this is still a rare masterpiece, but this kind of writing, I'm afraid it will take time to accumulate before it can show its true value, unless it ......"
"Unless what?" Xiao Ling couldn't help but ask when she saw that Dong Lixia had blown this book so hard.
Dong Lixia pondered for a moment and said, "The Chinese characters in the book are concise, even dry, and it is difficult to appreciate the world in the book without careful reading, which will make people feel boring." Unless there is an illustration, the picture is different from the carrier of words, it can present the characteristics of things more intuitively, if there are pictures and the words Chinese of the book to complement each other, it can increase the interest of the book...... Doing so will definitely increase the sales of this book!"
At the end, he jerked to his feet.
"What are you doing?" Xiao Ling was taken aback.
"I'm going to go and talk to the publisher about my suggestions. ”
"Is a book worth your attention?"
"It's worth it. "Higashikatsu said.
Xiao Ling held her face and said, "Sometimes I really don't understand you, I can kill someone I don't know, and now I do so many things for a book!"
Dong Lixia smiled slightly and said, "Because, it's worth it." ”
