"Aha~"

Great Britain, a bookstore in front of the university.

The owner had just come down from the bookstore and was yawning.

He woke up early this morning, looking out through the glass door of the bookstore, it was still morning.

Getting up so early, mainly because there are new books on the shelves in the bookstore,

The Imperial Epic is available in other languages.

Although this is Great Britain, his bookstore is open in front of this university,

He is the only bookstore in the town where the university is located.

When it was rumored that the Imperial Epic was about to be published in other languages, many of his customers came to visit.

Hopefully, he will include some versions of the Imperial Epic in different languages.

So he naturally bought some goods.

These versions of the Imperial Epic in different languages were already on the shelves last night.

Just wait for the door to open, and the guests can choose for themselves.

And in addition,

He had one more thing,

Even today, he still has a book to be shipped over.

He'll have to come down and sign for it.

Raised his head and looked out of the store, there were already a few customers waiting scattered outside the store.

When they saw him appear, they all looked at him from their phones or elsewhere, waiting for him to open the store.

The bookstore owner turned around and placed the promotional posters of the "Imperial Epic" in various languages on both sides of the door.

Then go and open the door.

“…… Coming to buy Imperial Epic? ”

"Yes, boss. Is there a Chinese version of the Imperial Epic? ”

"Yes, I listened to your suggestion and bought some goods, which are on the bookshelf over there."

Among the customers waiting outside the door were Xi Yuan and his British roommate,

Although he has already seen the content of the Imperial Epic,

But this did not prevent him from buying another Chinese version of the "Imperial Epic", after all, the author himself wrote it.

He has also read "Seven Sins", and the author's writing skills can be reflected in English, and it is even more vivid in the Chinese version.

Not only the story, but also the beauty of the words.

That feeling of being able to move smoothly and with ease.

The author always uses the most accurate words and sentences to easily pull the reader into the world, the story, depicted in the text.

Immerse yourself in it.

Therefore, the "Imperial Epic" is also out in Chinese, and Xi Yuan naturally wants to buy another copy.

"Thank you."

Listening to the shopkeeper's words, Xi Yuan nodded.

Then I walked over and pointed to the bookshelf, and at a glance I saw the Chinese version of the "Imperial Epic",

I picked it up, stood next to it and looked at it, and then walked back to the cashier counter.

However, the shopkeeper on the side of the store did not collect the silver counter, but still stood by the door and looked out.

Xi Yuan's roommate didn't follow Xi Yuan, and stayed by the door.

“…… Boss, are the "Seven Days of Hell" and "Hour Leap to Death" that I suggested to you before in stock, I see that the time revealed on the official website is about to be officially released......"

The Great Britain roommate asked the bookstore owner.

He was really scared of the speed of online purchases, and wanted to see the English versions of these two books as soon as possible.

The bookstore owner looked up and glanced at his roommate,

Among the people who have come to pick him up for these two books these days, this person is indispensable.

He also saw that so many people wanted it, so he bought more goods this time.

Of course, even if no one picks it up, he will buy it...... After all, he has also watched "Caged Bird".

That's a great book.

Naturally, he also looked forward to "Seven Days of Hell" and "The Hour Leap to Death" by the same author.

He also read some reviews on the Internet in advance, and they were all very good.

“…… Bookstores should be stocked in advance, right? Boss? ”

The roommate also asked.

The bookstore owner didn't answer him, turned his head to look out of the bookstore door, and paused again.

At this time, there were already customers queuing up in front of the cashier counter with the books they wanted to buy, and someone called the bookstore owner,

"Boss, check out!"

"Wait a minute, I have something ...... here"

As he spoke, the bookstore owner was about to walk outside the bookstore.

I saw that outside the bookstore, there was already a car gradually stopping towards the door of the bookstore.

It's the car that carries the books.

But as soon as he took two steps out, the bookstore owner turned around and said to his roommate,

"You help me collect the money, and I'll tell you later."

In the past few days, my roommates have come over often, and I have become acquainted with the bookstore owner when I come and go.

"Is there a salary?"

"Nope."

The bookstore owner put aside a sentence and went to sign for the books he entered.

"Hey, this damn capitalist."

Shaking his head, the roommate walked to the back of the cash register and helped the boss collect the money.

After settling the accounts for a few people in line,

It was Xi Yuan's turn.

"Are the English versions of Seven Days of Hell and Hour Hands arriving?"

Xi Yuan handed the "Imperial Epic" over to check out, and asked with a smile by the way.

"No...... Damn, I'm already looking forward to it, I feel like a kitten's paw is scratching in the bottom of my heart...... Ay. ”

The roommate helped Xi Yuan settle the bill and said helplessly.

At this time, the boss who went to sign for the book he entered came back again,

"Move me into the back storeroom. Yes, these are all moved in. ”

The boss was directing several workers to carry several large boxes of his books into the back of the bookstore.

“…… Boss, this can't be "Seven Days of Hell" and "Hour Hand", right? ”

The roommate looked at this moment and couldn't help but ask.

The boss hasn't answered yet, and the worker carrying the big cardboard box book can't help it.

"Seven Days of Hell? A new book by the author of "Caged Bird"? ”

The delivery company may have known what books were in these large boxes, but apparently the porter didn't know before.

"Oh, it seems to be a 'dog author' reader again."

The roommate said.

"Yes, 'dog author', 'dog author'......"

The eyes of the worker carrying the large cardboard box lit up, and he spoke these three words in Chinese,

Then he turned his head to look at the bookstore owner,

"Sir, will you buy and sell me a copy of Seven Days of Hell and Hour Hand?"

"Did I say these are these two books?"

The bookstore owner asked rhetorically,

"Isn't it?"

The roommate also asked.

The bookstore owner simply didn't answer,

Just instructed a few workers to continue to move the books to the back warehouse.

In the end, the worker had to go to other places to deliver the goods just now, and he was a little reluctant to leave.

The roommate and Xi Yuan haven't left yet.

"The owner...... Can't you really sell me two copies in advance? ”

"No, the contract was signed. It's not release time yet, and if I find out, I'll be doomed. ”

This time, the bookstore owner didn't deny it, but just shook his head firmly and said,

Then he glanced at his roommate,

"I'll reserve one copy for each of you at most, and when the time comes, you can just come and get it after the official release."

"Well, I'm already looking forward to getting through these tough days. Sure enough, the most distressing thing awaits. ”

The roommate said with some pain,

But he still didn't continue to entangle with the bookstore owner, and left with Xi Yuan.

The bookstore owner looked at Xi Yuan and his roommate walking away,

Looking at the bookstore again, the people who bought the books before have just left, and there are not many people who need to settle the bill.

quickly slipped into the back warehouse,

opened the big cardboard box, hesitated a few times, and first took out the English version of "Seven Days of Hell".

Then he took the book, shrunk behind the cashier counter and looked at the book.

The book was opened, and from the beginning of "Seven Days of Hell", the bookstore owner was immersed in the story.

I just kept looking at the book, and I didn't pay attention to how many people came and went in the bookstore.

It was only when someone stood in front of him and called him to settle the bill that he briefly withdrew from the book "Seven Days of Hell".

But what makes the bookstore owner a little distressed is that

Today's customers are a little more than usual,

These are all customers who come to buy the language versions of "Epic of Empires".

Every now and then, he had to get up to check out, and even one after another, he didn't have time to sit down.

It was really a bit of a delay for him, and he wanted to close the door of the store and reopen it after watching "Seven Days of Hell".

However, "Imperial Epic" is also his favorite work,

After thinking about it, I gave up.

It's just that another thought can't help but pop up in my head,

I don't know which of the two books "Imperial Epic" or "Seven Days of Hell" and "Hour Hands Leap to Death" will sell more.

Thinking about it like this, I'm a little entangled again.

It's a bit painful for him, who also likes these two authors,

We all know which one to expect from higher sales.

But it's really exciting to have so many good works to read lately.

……

"Canyon Grass: Did you buy 'Imperial Epic'?

Once Canghai: The Chinese version came out, bought it. I have always heard people praise this book as a classic that cannot be missed, and those readers abroad also regard this book as a classic. I just want to buy it and see it.

I'm mortal: That's pretty good. These comments are basically quite pertinent.

Canyon Grass: I mean...... Does anyone buy more, can you give me a copy?

Zeng Canghai: When I bought it before, didn't the store in Beijing Pintao have enough goods? It's out of stock?

Canyon Grass: Hmm...... Is this Burt Press looking down on the purchasing power of the masters? The Beijing Pintao store of the capital branch of the publishing house is on this point? Enough for someone to stuff between their teeth?

Once Canghai: Look for bookstores, there should be some, it is estimated that most of them are bought directly on the Internet.

Canyon Grass: Well, that makes sense!

Little Black House: What about discussing "Imperial Epic"? You say that for a book like "Imperial Epic", 'ABC' should also be a famous author in China, right?

Little Black House: Who do you think it will be?

Zeng Canghai: Not necessarily. Who says 'ABC' must have published other works before The Seven Sins?

Little Black House: That's right.

Little Black House: I just think it's unlikely that a writer who can write two works like this will not be unknown.

Zeng Canghai: Well, that makes sense.

Canyon Grass: Well, it makes sense to +1......"

It's already evening.

The afterglow of the sunset outside the house still shines on the window,

Ji Zhuo, who had just finished updating today's update, just turned off the computer and touched his phone.

Seeing that the readership was very lively, I clicked in and took a look.

Well, the identity of the 'ABC......

The ABC thing, what's the matter with my dog author.

looked at the messages in the group and went to re-read again.

Ji Zhuo didn't care anymore, put away his mobile phone, changed his shoes and went out.

……

“…… Dad, the company doesn't have anything to do for me in the past two days, should I come over tomorrow to stay with you for two days? ”

"What's the use of accompanying me, you might as well accompany your wife and children. Accompany my granddaughter, you don't accompany my granddaughter much, when the time comes, my granddaughter will be wronged, and I will not be finished with you! ”

“…… Dad, why does your granddaughter still need me to accompany her. When I get married, my children will be able to run, what am I doing with her? ”

Yucheng, Yu Mingzhi was on the phone with the old man.

Yu Mingzhi was a little crying and laughing as he spoke.

The old man listened, but was silent.

I didn't speak for a long time.

"Dad, are you alright?"

Yu Mingzhi couldn't hear the voice coming from the other end of the phone, and was a little worried.

"It's alright...... It's just that people are older, and sometimes the impression is still a few years ago, more than ten years ago. ”

"I still think your daughter is still a child...... After thinking about it, it occurred to me that your daughters are married and have children. Your father and I are almost in the ground. ”

"Dad, you're ...... right"

Yu Mingzhi didn't know what to say, so he turned the words back,

"Dad, I'll come back tomorrow to stay with you for a few days...... I went home for a few days. ”

"You can come as much as you like, there is so much nonsense, and I will tie your legs again."

The old man said angrily and put the phone away.

The phone hung up, and the old man's mobile phone screen was still on.

The screen goes back to the page before answering the phone.

It is the text of "Dream of the Stars".

The old man pinched his mobile phone, but he couldn't see it, he was silent, facing the wind blowing in from the balcony window, not knowing what to think.

The nurse looked at it, but didn't come forward to disturb it, and just stood aside.

……

On the other side, Yu Mingzhi hung up the phone.

After a moment of silence, he picked up his phone again,

opened the "Star Dream" that I was looking at earlier.

He re-read the second chapter of the story of the Star Dream today,

I couldn't help it, but I still called his father.

It's all to blame on the dog author,

The update was so slow that he couldn't help but go back and read the previous story.

……

"The identity of the 'ABC'?"

Fancheng, Ye Linhan looked at the discussion of readers in the book friend group,

He was actually interested in the author who wrote "The Seven Sins" and "The Imperial Epic".

These two books are so well written, is the author also a famous writer in China?

But there is no information at all,

Ye Linhan really couldn't imagine who 'ABC' might be?

And as far as ABC's approach is concerned, it is obvious that he does not want readers to know who he is.

Deliberately hidden.

If you deliberately find out who this author is, if you find out and then publish it, it will be somewhat disrespectful.

So...... Ye Linhan was also curious, and he didn't want to investigate.

Turned his head again and glanced at Jing Pintao on the computer,

It shows that the Chinese version of the Imperial Epic that he purchased has been shipped.

Although he has already seen the content, it doesn't prevent him from watching it again and adding favorites.

In addition, he also felt that on the Chinese version, the author's writing of the author of "Imperial Epic" was more vividly reflected.

However, from the text on the Chinese version, it is not clear who this author is?

Maybe it's really that I haven't published a work in China before? Or is it that the author deliberately avoids some of his own petty writing habits?

Thinking so, Ye Linhan shook his head again.

I didn't think about it anymore, I didn't care about it, and I didn't check it myself.

But beyond that...... In fact, Ye Linhan couldn't wait to buy the entire set of "Imperial Epics" in various languages and collect them again.

……

"Hiccup......

Ji Zhuo ate his meal, burped, and then picked up the cola next to him and took a sip.

And Yun Qingmu, who was eating dinner with Ji Zhuo, was sitting opposite at this time, but with a serious face.

“…… Ji Zhuo, it is said on the Internet that the overseas publication of "Seven Days of Hell" and "Hour Hands Leaping to Death" may be about to encounter strong opponents. ”

"Your "Seven Days of Hell" and "Hour Hand" will be released in two days, but today the language versions of "Imperial Epic" are also on sale, carrying the popularity of "Imperial Epic" awards, and the reputation accumulated in overseas markets before, the release of various language versions of "Imperial Epic" has seized great popularity, and it is very likely to affect the overseas results of Ji Zhuo's two books!"

"Attention is limited, and the fact that the Imperial Epic is on sale in all languages is going to affect the sales of both of your copies, and they both say it's going to be your rival."

Yun Qingmu looked grim.

Ji Zhuo ate the food and listened.

How so...... There is no fluctuation in my heart, and I even want to laugh a little.

"The Imperial Epic is my rival? Will it affect the sales of "Seven Days of Hell" and "Hour Hand"? ”

"Why don't you say that "Seven Days of Hell" will affect the sales of "Hour Hand."

"Can this be the same? These two books are your own, the results of the two books push each other forward, the effect is positive, and the Imperial Epic is not your book......"

"Oh......"

Ji Zhuo answered, and then took a bite of food.

To be honest, it doesn't matter if these books are fought or not.

Hit it, you can hit your brains...... It's all his own book anyway.

However, Ji Zhuo hopes that "Seven Days of Hell" can overwhelm "Imperial Epic",

It's better to be able to suppress "Imperial Epic" to the point that there are no sales at all.

It's just a pity, it's too late now.

Well?

Ji Zhuo's eyes suddenly lit up.
