Chapter 13: Hot

The debate on the Internet is getting more and more intense.

And half an hour after the announcement of the Tianxing Award rankings, the four-time Tianxing Award winner Shi posted on Weibo, with only one expression [hehe].

The comments below are even more wonderful.

"Stone, you also think there is a shady scene, right?"

"In the 13th Tianxing Awards, there has never been a time when a newcomer has won the first place!"

"I'm wondering what The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is all about!"

Almost at the same time, Song Cai, one of the judges of the Tianxing Award, also posted on Weibo: "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is the best science fiction novel I have read so far, I heard that the author Tang Yuan is still a newcomer, I really want to talk to you to see what you have in your head!" ”

The winner of the first Tianxing Award, writer Yu Jie, also said: "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy deserves to win the first place, and the science fiction industry in China will usher in a reshuffle!" ”

The comments on "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" show a polarized situation, those who have seen it are shocked, and those who have not seen it feel that Star City Publishing House is doing shady!

There is also a voice in the middle: "It's not that I said, some people on the Internet haven't read the book, and they are spraying here, it's really funny!" ”

However, there were not many such sounds, and they were quickly drowned out as soon as they came out.

And in the midst of this controversy, "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" entered major bookstores, and was placed in the most conspicuous position in the bookstore along with "My Meteorite Age" and "Silver Light".

There is also a big slogan next to it: "The winning works of the 13th Science Fiction Star Awards, you should not miss it!" ”

In a bookstore in the Western Capital, a woman in a sky blue dress walked in slowly, her eyes swept casually, and soon fell on the Tianxing Award area not far away.

This woman is the 4-time Star Award winner stone!

For so many years, the stone has been writing books behind closed doors, and even when he is interviewed, he never shows his face, and few people in the outside world know that this stone, which is famous in the science fiction world, is actually a woman, and she is still a very beautiful woman.

"Jingle bells."

Stone's phone rang.

"Hey, Mom! Well, it's okay. Uh-huh, oops, why are you here again, what's wrong with me thirty-five? If I don't meet someone I like, I won't marry! Oops, okay, okay, I got it! ”

Quickly hung up the phone, and Shi had already noticed at this time that several readers were already standing in front of the Tianxing Award area, flipping through them.

The man picked up Silverlight!

The stone looked happy, but the other party casually flipped it over and put it down again.

Then, she saw that the other party picked up the "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", and after reading it for two minutes, the corners of the man's mouth couldn't help but smile, and then she chose to buy it!

Shi Shi is a very confident person, of course, she also has enough confidence to become the winner of the 4-time Tianxing Award, and her strength is here.

But now, she feels like her worldview has collapsed.

In the ten minutes or so she watched, she found that 4 readers had picked up "Silver Light", and only one chose to buy it. Six readers chose My Meteorite Age, and only two chose to buy it.

And "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", 23 readers have flipped it, after all, it is the first place, and it should be able to attract everyone's attention.

But!

Of the 23 readers, 18 chose to buy!

This amazing purchase rate is simply unprecedented, unheard of!

And this phenomenon is playing out in almost all bookstores!

Shi couldn't hold back her excitement any longer, she bought a copy and went straight home!

After the three books of the Star Award were put on the shelves, soon, the first book reviews appeared on the Internet!

"Yumoto! Awesome! ”

"I'm going to put my words here today, no matter how many more "My Meteorite Age" and "Silverlight" are, they won't be enough for "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy!"

"Earth is a giant computer program built by aliens, so large that it is often mistaken for a planet, and the earthlings are unaware that they are just part of a giant computer program."

"The galaxy is going to build a hyperspace fast track, and the unlucky Earth is in the way, so the Earth will be demolished in a few minutes. The protagonist, Arthur, survives by escaping Earth at the last moment with the help of his friend, the secret alien Ford, and roams the galaxy with the help of an amazing book. ”

"The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, a great tome, describes the Earth with only two words: "harmless"! Think about it, how small, lonely, and fragile the earth is in the entire universe, and this description is not wrong! ”

"The computer program that aliens built the Earth was primarily designed to find the ultimate answer to the ultimate questions about life, the universe, and everything, and this is the main question that this book explores. Why are people born and why they die, who am I, what is the meaning of life, these philosophical questions, the answer finally given by the computer after 10 million years of calculations in the story is "forty-two". ”

"This book is absurd and nonsensical, and under the author's indifferent cosmology, there is a compassionate heart."

"42, what the hell do you mean!!"

"I'm done, this book, there should be a sequel!"

The praise continues to rise, Weibo, book friend exchange forums, everywhere is discussing "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", and "Silverlight" and "My Meteorite Age", published together with "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", seem to have been forgotten by readers, and almost no one mentions it.

……

Shi slowly closed the book, rubbed her sour eyes, she took a deep breath, and then opened Weibo, and the editor sent: "Well deserved." ”

The accompanying image is the cover of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

"Hahaha! You also have a day when you are crushed underneath the stone! ”

"Even our stones say they're pretty, no, I have to buy a copy quickly!"

"No, no, isn't it, anyone hasn't seen The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy right now?"

All of a sudden, the topic of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", about the universe, and about 42 suddenly became hot!

Surfing the Internet and not understanding 42 stalks are outdated!

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is on fire, it's really a hit!

In just half a day, 200,000 copies of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy were sold out!

Star City Press.

Sun Zhengye was in a hurry to call: "Hurry up, hurry up!" What the are you guys in the printing department doing! It's all for Lao Tzu to come back and work overtime! More than 100 bookstores called me to ask for goods, and I can't print 500,000 copies today, so no one wants to leave work! ”

Putting down the phone, Sun Zhengye slapped the table fiercely: "Fuck! Which dog day only let 200,000 copies printed! ”

Qian Fu stared at him weakly, and didn't dare to tell him that he had set it himself.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is level, and that's what they all know. But no one expected that this book would be so popular!
