As one of the best children's extracurricular books in China, Zhonghai Youth magazine has a long history. It has been 25 years since the magazine was founded.

In the past 25 years, with excellent content and a unique "comic + light novel" serialization model. The circulation of "Zhonghai Boys" once ranked first on the children's book list, and was sought after by many children!

But before it was before, and now it is now.

The former "Zhonghai Boy" may be very beautiful and can be called "self-respecting". But the current "Zhonghai Youth" magazine is almost unable to keep the title of "the first brother of children's books".

There are many reasons for this......

The rise of the Internet, especially the mobile Internet, the decline of print media, and the fierce competition of similar magazines are all reasons for the decline in magazine sales.

As the magazine's comic editor-in-chief, Liu Donghai is in a hurry.

When he and his wife Xia Mei searched their son's room and accidentally found two "Comic World" magazines, he knew that something was wrong.

The son of the comic editor-in-chief of "Zhonghai Boy", who has free magazines to read, and secretly buys comic weekly magazines from friends?

How can this work?

Especially when he asked his son and learned from his son that the boys and girls in the same class liked to borrow "Comic World", his mood became even worse.

It can't go on like this!

Originally, the cake of "comic magazines" was not big, and a spoiler emerged, gradually eating away at the market share. If "Zhonghai Boy" does not respond positively, I am afraid it will have to "stop publication".

It's a pity that he's just the comic editor.

In the editorial department of "Zhonghai Youth" magazine, there are four editors-in-chief, and there is also an editor-in-chief above his head, Liu Donghai's speech is not so effective.

"Alas......"

At the end of the day, Liu Donghai sighed deeply and was worried about the future of Zhonghai Youth magazine.

Why is he so unlucky?

I just quit my job at the Children's Theater and jumped to join the magazine "Zhonghai Youth", but before I could mix my salary for a few days, the magazine was about to cease publication!

Just as Liu Donghai was thinking about what he would do next if the magazine really couldn't be run, a new email alert popped up on the computer.

He clicked on it and was stunned.

This is an email from "a headhunting company", the content of which is probably an invitation to him to join the editorial department of "Comic World" magazine, a subsidiary of Wanbao Comics.

Better pay, higher benefits!

"Ah......h

Liu Donghai hesitated.

I have to say that the salary offered to him by Wanbao Comics is definitely better than his current position. But isn't it a bit inappropriate to change jobs at this time?

Liu Donghai, who was overwhelmed by this email, returned home with a heavy heart.

I wanted to discuss it with my wife.

As a result, as soon as I got home, before I had time to change my shoes, I heard a commotion in Liu Xing and Xiaoyu's room.

What are the kids doing?

With curiosity, Liu Donghai quietly walked over and put his ear to the door to eavesdrop.

……

"Liu Xing, you're so dark!"

Xiaoyu complained speechlessly: "Three Pandora's boxes, all you opened are sword hilt fragments, can you give a little force?" ”

"Accident, pure accident!"

Liu Xing rubbed his hands and said with an embarrassed smile: "I wasn't ready just now, but now I'm ready!" Aren't there still seven magic boxes, let's ...... again?"

As he spoke, he opened a box.

(2) Sword Body Fragments!

"Ness!"

Liu Xing crossed his hands on his hips and said with a strange smile: "See, two fragments!" I just said I wasn't ready just now, you still don't believe it? ”

"It's just nonsense!"

"Unless you open a new shard, you will still have a black face!" Xiaoyu pouted.

Reasonable!

Liu Xing thought about it, he had opened three (1) sword hilt fragments in a row, even if the fourth fragment was different, it was still a loss.

"Then another one!"

Liu Xing took a deep breath and opened the fifth Pandora's box.

Kim Kwang-ichi ...... Oh, no golden light!

However, when the box was opened, there was a fragment of the sword body (4) lying inside.

Wuhu, take off!

Liu Xing and Xiaoyu glanced at each other, their eyes full of surprise. Four open two is a loss, five open three is not a loss!

"Go on, go on!"

Xiaoyu couldn't wait to say: "There are already three fragments, and there are five boxes, Liu Xing is looking at you!" ”

"Don't worry, it's on me."

patting his chest, Liu Xing was full of confidence at the moment, and opened the sixth box without much pause.

Wow! Golden Legends!

Looking at the (3) sword body fragment lying quietly inside after the box was opened, Liu Xing and Xia Yu were not to mention how excited they were at this time.

Four pieces of shards!

There is only one step away from collecting all five fragments and combining the invincible artifact [Pig Pig Open Heaven Sword].

And they have four boxes left!

Could it be ......

With excitement, Liu Xing opened the seventh Pandora's box with trembling hands.

Or fragment (3)!

After the box was opened, it was not the expected (5) sword tip fragment, which made Liu Xing and Xiaoyu a little disappointed.

It's not a big problem, though.

There are still three boxes, it doesn't matter if you repeat one or two fragments, as long as you can collect five fragments in the end, this wave will not lose.

"Keep going!"

At the instigation of Xiaoyu, Liu Xing opened the eighth magic box.

Fragment of the hilt of the sword (1)!

It was the No. 1 fragment again, and Liu Xing, who had opened four sword hilts in a row, was already sweating on his forehead.

The ninth box, fragment (2)!

Not bad.

It's not a hilt, it's not a loss.

Liu Xing, who comforted himself, decisively opened the tenth box with the determination to "see death as home".

Fragment of the hilt of the sword (1)!

Unfortunately, the miracle did not happen.

Looking at the five sword hilt fragments on the table, as well as a "mutilated version" of the Pig Open Heaven Sword that looked decent, but lacked the tip of the sword, Liu Xing and Xia Yu's mentality collapsed.

Is that okay?

Ten Pandora's boxes, ten fragments, can't you spell a complete [Pig Open Heaven Sword]?

"No way!"

Liu Xing's eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I have to take it down today, I don't believe that the next box is still a fragment of the hilt." ”

"Who are you going to take?"

Before he finished speaking, with the sound of opening the door, Liu Xing turned around and saw Liu Donghai standing at the door, staring at them expressionlessly.

The smile freezes. JPG！

Seeing the two children standing stupidly in place and not speaking, Liu Donghai walked into the house, picked up the open box on the table, and looked at it carefully.

Pandora's Box, available for a limited time!

Official guide price: 10 yuan.

Manufacturer: Jiangchuan Wanbao Toys Co., Ltd.

Open the magic box to obtain one of the fragments of the artifact [Pig Open Sky Sword]. Collect five different pieces to assemble a complete [Pig Pig Open Sky Sword].

Liu Donghai: "......"

After reading the introduction information on the box, he suddenly felt that he seemed to have underestimated the discipline of these profiteers.

Can the shards also be sold separately?
