Views:

There is only one bookstore in town, Burke Bookstore. Since most of the book buyers are intellectuals and upper-class people in Bailu Town, although the bookstore is small in size, with only two stores, the layout is fairly elegant and quiet.

"Uncle Burke, I heard that you got a new batch of books, where are they?" Boker called as he came in. His family was a regular customer of the bookstore, and he naturally didn't care about keeping the peace of the bookstore.

"Over there, there are a total of fifteen new books. Please be careful when reading. I only bought two or three of each book. If you break it, you will have to pay for it." The store owner Burke pushed up his single-frame glasses and continued. Calculating his account at the counter.

Fifteen new books, eight of which are biographies. Claude has always called these biographies "plagiarism" or "chicken soup theory", which is when a famous nobleman or parliamentarian or a successful person asks someone to write about his success experience. This book is nothing more than talking about how many hardships he has experienced in life, what kind of emotional torture he has endured, and finally embarked on the road to success, etc.

Whoever believes it is a fool. For Claude, he has had enough chicken soup stories in his previous life. These biographies in this world simply insult the name of chicken soup stories, because most of the routines are the same, that is, they are changed. It's just a name, time and place. In fact, the ultimate purpose of publishing these celebrity biographies is to make money and to deceive.

There are also five knights who say that in the dark history, a brave and fearless knight fell into the hands of an evil magician in order to save a beautiful princess or aristocratic lady. After a hard life and death struggle, he finally embraced the beauty. Return, and help the evil magicians clean up their treasure house, enrich their own pockets, and gain both people and wealth.

Claude thinks it would be more convincing to replace the evil magician with a dragon, but the dragons in this world don't really like to capture beautiful women and bring them to their dragon dens to listen to their screams. Most of their characters are Because they were coerced by the evil magician, they had no choice but to become his thugs or mounts. In the end, they would either help the protagonist rebel or be killed by the protagonist, or they would find someone else to ride on them.

The five knights, who are all very similar, said that this was Claude's favorite when he first traveled through time, and he was so excited to read it. But now he has understood that the so-called chivalry theory is all fabricated by the authors and has nothing to do with history. Those authors who wrote about such knights were simply trying to support their families and be consistent with the political attitude of the kingdom. This is understandable and understandable.

The remaining two books, one is a travelogue on the mainland. A diplomat from a kingdom served as a peace envoy to the Kingdom of Hicks in the northern part of the mainland. After staying there for five years, he returned to China and wrote a book about his experiences in the Kingdom of Hicks. Travel Notes, this is a good book, I should buy it.

There is also a latest research report on marine animals and plants. After eight years of research, pharmacy experts extracted a dye from the purple Atero seaweed. The dyed fabric is difficult to fade. Adding another kind of fabric color to the kingdom. This book mainly talks about the artificial cultivation of Atero seaweed and its purchase price guide.

Perhaps this new book called Artero Seaweed should also be bought for my father to decorate his study. As the administrative director of White Deer Town, Mr. Morsan will show his profound knowledge and insight into the trend of research in the kingdom to the guests. , and even use this as a reason to ask the town government to allocate a batch of funds for Bailu Town to research seaweed farming to develop people's livelihood. As for the failure of research, the funds become tuition fees, which is a common thing, and everyone understands it tacitly.

In the end, Claude bought four books, Atero Seaweed, Hicks Kingdom's Insights, a Knight's Story and a Biography, which cost a total of two Riasos and two Sunars. There was no way, Claude didn't want to buy so much, but he remembered that the two riaso he asked his father for at that time was the reason for buying books, so he had to spend so much money to buy books.

I didn’t want to buy biographies, but Mr. Morsant liked to read this kind of novels the most and often used the examples in the book to educate his children. Claude had no choice but to buy one just in case. To be honest, he really There are no other books to buy. As for Knight, Claude thought the book would be a good distraction while taking up tuba. It’s all because I was used to holding mobile phones in my previous life, but now I can’t even pull it out when I’m squatting on the toilet without reading a book.

"Claude, come over and take a look." Erikson was in the corner
