"Carol: Mr. A, as far as we can count, the number of online sales plus the previous online pre-sales has exceeded 4 million copies.

Carol: At least more than 600,000 of them were sold directly after today's official release. ”

Magic City, in the house.

Ji Zhuo, who had finished updating in advance today, slumped on the sofa and looked at the messages sent by Carol from time to time.

For this online sales data, Ji Zhuo was quite happy, but he was not too excited.

After all, I've seen strong winds and waves,

In addition, the publicity before the release of "Shadow Empire" has been very sufficient, and the popularity has been very high.

It can be expected that it will not be like "Ordinary and Great", and the single-day sales in the later period can increase.

The first-day sales of "Shadow Empire" should basically be the highest single-day sales.

Later, it will be seen how fast it falls.

Raising his head, Ji Zhuo looked out of the window again,

After a pause, he looked at the room with thousands of copies of the overseas edition of "Star Dream" and hundreds of cars of "Ordinary and Great".

If you have too much debt, you don't have to worry, so you can sign it again at night.

Stand up and pick up the phone that still receives rainbow fart messages from Carol from time to time,

When I went downstairs, I was going to go directly to the bookstore in the magic capital.

……

“carol：…… I believe that just by going on sale on the first day today, Mr. A, your work will be able to achieve a brilliant and eye-catching result!

Carol: Shadow Empire is a work on the throne, and today, on the first day of release, he will be on his throne! ”

Ji Zhuo walked all the way, out of the community, to the nearest bookstore.

At the door of the bookstore, I looked down at the phone again, and the news from Carol was a little excited,

didn't reply, put away the phone, and Ji Zhuo entered the bookstore.

It's a chain of bookstores.

The bookstore isn't particularly spacious, but it's not small either.

In the area where books of different genres are divided, there are rows of bookshelves.

Walking into the bookstore and looking around, Ji Zhuo didn't need to ask, he had already seen the poster belonging to "Shadow Empire".

On the poster, the whole has a dark and weird style,

The main body of the picture is a thin back, and the upper right corner of the picture is a sun.

It's just that the sun is shining, but it is confined to a small area, more places, as if it is shrouded in black fog.

It's just that in the lower left corner of the picture, there is a shadow connected to the emaciated back,

The shadow seemed to match the emaciated back, it looked bloated, half on the ground, half reflected on the wall, as if it had climbed up from the ground,

The face of the shadow also shows the face that is not on the emaciated back,

It's just that on that face, with not a hideous picture,

It's a person's face that's terrified to the extreme.

This picture, coupled with some details, makes people a little creepy,

The more I look at it, the more weird I feel.

On the side of the poster screen, there is also a brief introduction to "Shadow Empire",

"The shadow on the ground stood up, and the shadow on the wall detached from the front, and the bitter and filthy words were easily proclaimed, and the vicious and filthy deeds were ......"

Looking at the poster, Ji Zhuo paused,

walked up to a clerk in the bookstore,

"Hello, I want to ask, where is "Shadow Empire"?"

"Well, right there, just where the few are standing. However, there are not many "Shadow Empires" in the bookstore, so if you want to buy them, go over and get them. ”

Hearing Ji Zhuo's question, the clerk was not surprised at all,

Since the door opened today, there have already been people asking about "Shadow Empire".

Ji Zhuo nodded, thanked him, turned around and glanced at the bookshelves pointed to by the clerk,

There were already a few people standing there, who seemed to be readers of the Shadow Empire, and Ji Zhuo walked over.

……

"Dude, you also buy "Shadow Empire", hurry up, there is only one copy left, I see someone behind you is coming again."

As soon as Ji Zhuo walked to the bookshelf, he heard a reader who had just picked up a copy of "Shadow Empire" and turned around to go to the checkout.

"Thank you."

Ji Zhuo said with a smile and looked at the bookshelf.

The shelves that were supposed to be full were empty now, and there was only one copy of "Shadow Empire" left on the bookshelf.

"Eh, it's gone?"

At this time, the reader who also walked behind Ji Zhuo had already arrived in front of the bookshelf.

Seeing that there was only one book left on the shelf, Ji Zhuo arrived earlier than him, so he sighed and prepared to leave with some disappointment.

"Isn't there another copy, take it if you want it."

"Eh, won't you buy it?"

Ji Zhuo shook his head, and the reader glanced at Ji Zhuo a little strangely,

You're going straight here, either to buy Shadow Empire, or to see the last copy of Shadow Empire being bought?

"Thank you, buddy."

After hesitating, out of anticipation for "Shadow Empire", the reader thanked him and quickly picked up the book and went to check out.

Ji Zhuo looked at it again, and then went back to the cash register.

“…… Eh, aren't you going to buy Shadow Empire? ”

The clerk just now saw Ji Zhuo coming back empty-handed and asked.

"The last one on the shelf has been bought."

"I'm really sorry, on that shelf is already the last Shadow Empire in the bookstore, if you want to buy it again, you'll have to wait for the next batch to arrive, or go to other bookstores to have a look,"

"It's okay, is Shadow Empire selling well?"

Ji Zhuo asked.

The clerk glanced at Ji Zhuo with an even more strange gaze,

How can this man talk as if he were the author of the book, and care about the sales in the store,

"Isn't this nonsense? ABC's new book, if you look at the movement on the Internet, you know that the sales must be very high. ”

"Moreover, "Shadow Empire" is very well written, I have already taken the time to watch it, it is worthy of being a new work of ABC!"

The clerk said with some eyes shining,

Ji Zhuo was scolded by his own readers, and he was a little silent.

"Hmm...... That's right. ”

"Have you ever heard of a book called 'The Ordinary and the Great'?"

"Nope."

The clerk shook his head decisively.

Looking at this person again, he seemed to understand a little.

It must be that this "Ordinary and Great" was written by this person, or that it was this person's favorite book,

Seeing that the book "Shadow Empire" was on fire, his eyes were red, so he asked!

"Ordinary and Great" is what kind of book it is, I have never heard of it.

And Ji Zhuo,

Although I could see that the clerk's gaze was a little strange, I didn't know what the clerk was thinking.

But when I heard the clerk's decisive answer, I was still a little satisfied.

At least, "Ordinary and Great" has not made any waves in China.

Maybe next month, there will be another chance!

Ji Zhuo got the answer and saw the situation in the bookstore,

He smiled and thanked the clerk and left the bookstore.

And the clerk of the bookstore looked at Ji Zhuo and walked away, and he was a little inexplicable.

……

And on the other side,

The reader I met by chance with Ji Zhuo just now, after buying "Shadow Empire",

Flipping through the unopened "Shadow Empire" all the way back and forth, my heart is happy.

I ran several bookstores and sold out, and finally bought "Shadow Empire" today.

When he gets home, he's going to look! I won't sleep until I finish watching it tonight!

Speaking of which, he had to thank the guy in the bookstore, otherwise he would have to continue to find other bookstores.

Thinking so beautifully,

The reader walked slower and slower until he came to a stop on the side of the road.

He felt that the person he had just met seemed a little familiar,

The more I think about it, the more familiar it becomes,

Finally, waiting for him to take out his mobile phone, he found the video of the dog author receiving the award before,

There was a sound in his mouth,

"! Dog Author! ”

"Is he here to see the sales of his opponent's ABC book?"

"! I missed it! ”
