Because of the signature incident of Murder on the Orient Express, most people on the Internet were discussing how beautiful Chu Kuang's handwriting was, and how bad Chu Kuang's behavior was in deliberately writing an ugly signature like a primary school student last time.
As these discussions intensified.
Some readers who had previously received a signed copy of "The Mystery of Roger Affair" couldn't stand it anymore.
The netizen named Dadan directly posted online questioning whether Chu Kuang's behavior was too unfair to the first batch of readers who received autographs.
He complained angrily:
"The autographs Chu Kuang gave to our first batch of readers were so ugly, but the autographs he gave to the second batch of readers were so beautiful. I will be embarrassed to say that I have received Chu Kuang's autograph in the future."
Finish posting this dynamic.
A netizen named Sima Yanlong sent a private message to Dadan:
"The signed version of Murder on the Orient Express is so nice, your autograph is really not that good, why don't you sell it to me, how about a thousand bucks?"
"OK."
Dadan agreed immediately and completed the transaction quickly on the same day.
For Dadan, the signed copy of "The Mystery of Roger" is no longer valuable. Who would have known that Chu Kuang deliberately wrote the signature ugly
But what he didn't expect was...
On the very night that he sold the signed copy of "The Mystery of Roger Affair", there were hundreds of messages in the comment section, and the intentions of these messages were surprisingly consistent: everyone wanted their own signed copy!
"I'll give you two thousand!"
"I'll give you three thousand."
"Four thousand dollars is fine."
"Don't sell it to me!"
"You all want to get something for nothing."
"I'm afraid you won't be able to find a bargain now. I don't think the poster is that stupid. He's probably just showing off that he has a signed copy of Roger Affair. If the poster really wants to sell it, please PM me. The price can be higher than the one in the comments."
"that is."
"Are you looking down on the IQ of the poster? If you don't have 10,000 yuan, don't come here to raise money. Those who offer 2,000 or 3,000 yuan are simply unethical. Even a fool knows that Chu Kuang's ugly autograph will be out of print and may even appreciate in value in the future."
"… "
Dadan was dumbfounded.
He didn't expect that so many people would be vying for the ugly signed version of "The Mystery of Roger Affair" that he disliked. Is he stupid or are these people stupid
“I’m not selling it anymore!”
He quickly found a buyer.
The buyer replied with a smug expression: "The book is in my hands, and I have transferred the 1,000 yuan to you. It's no use regretting it. Also, I'd like to use your comment section to advertise. I believe you don't mind."
"Grass!"
Dadan was so angry that he sent a bunch of swear words, but the other party refused to receive it because he had been blocked by Dadan!
This is not the worst part. What is even worse is that the other party openly left a message in the comment section of Dadan:
"The signed copy of The Mystery of Roger Affair in the hands of the poster has been sold to me. I got it for 1,000 yuan. I will sell it to the third person. Who wants it for 20,000 yuan?"
"I want!"
“Me, me, me!”
"Oh my god, you are the most wicked person. You bought it for only one thousand yuan, and you even advertised it in the comments section!"
“Shrimp and pig heart!”
"I take back what I said before. It turns out that there are still people who are so stupid these days that they don't even realize the value of the signature of "The Mystery of Roger Affair"."
"Oh, the OP is really stupid and pathetic."
"I thought the poster was on the fifth floor, but it turns out he's on the first floor. He's really criticizing the old thief's autographed version of The Mystery of Roger Affair. How many people want to fall into this trap?"
"… "
Dadan then realized that Chu Kuang was not trying to trick him, but had given him a windfall. He was just too stupid and even publicly complained about Chu Kuang cheating his readers. It turned out that "The Mystery of Roger" had a higher value just because the beginning was so ugly!
It's a very simple truth.
Signatures are rare and valuable!
If Chu Kuang's signature fonts were all very beautiful afterwards, then the elementary school student font that Chu Kuang used to sign "The Mystery of Roger Affair" would be even more unique.
…
Lin Yuan didn't know that the price of the signed copy of "The Mystery of Roger Affair" had been hyped up by netizens, and it had doubled or tripled.
He just received a system prompt:
Congratulations to the host for opening the calligraphy category and gaining 1,900 points of calligraphy reputation. Also, a reminder to the host that when a certain category of reputation reaches a certain value, a high system reward will be received.
Following the system's prompt, calligraphy reputation was opened.
Together with the music, literature, painting, and film and television that have been opened earlier, a total of five major art fields have all opened the reputation collection mode.
"calligraphy?"
Lin Yuan thought thoughtfully, perhaps calligraphy could be the second ability of the Chu Kuang alias.
It’s like Xianyu can compose music, write scripts and make movies.
Our Chu Kuang can not only write books but is also very good at calligraphy. This is reasonable and logical, and can be said to be very normal.
It just so happened that someone on the Internet questioned whether I could only write my signature.
That's right.
In the comment section of Chu Kuang's blog, there are two mainstream voices? One is to complain that the old thief is too deceptive? The other is to praise the old thief's great calligraphy.
Is there a third voice? Not mainstream? But it exists? I just don’t know if it’s reasonable or not.
These voices claim to be rational.
"There's no need to exaggerate Chu Kuang's calligraphy skills. He's just an ordinary person who writes beautiful characters."
"Yes, everyone should have practiced writing their own names, right? You should know that some people's handwriting is ugly at ordinary times, but they always look surprisingly beautiful when they write their own names."
“Follow the designed artistic signature and imitate it? You can imitate it hundreds or thousands of times and achieve the same effect.”
"Some time ago, there was a celebrity who could only play a little basketball, but you guys exaggerated his basketball skills to be as good as a basketball superstar. In fact, there is no need to do that."
"Chu Kuang is very good at writing. As for calligraphy, it's probably about the same as those people who write well in our lives."
"… "
Just an ordinary person with good handwriting
Lin Yuan thought this was probably a pretense...
This is a good opportunity to gain reputation, but unfortunately there are too few people who question themselves.
If every work of mine is questioned by the outside world, then the news effect of the final reversal will definitely be great.
Now I can only compete with this small group of people.
Thinking of this, Lin Yuan said, "Uncle Jin, the four treasures of the study are waiting for you!"
"ah?"
Kaneki was stunned for a moment.
Lin Yuan said something human: "I want to write calligraphy."
Jinmu was surprised: "Send the tribe?"
Lin Yuan nodded: "Okay."
Kaneki made a gesture as if it was no problem, turned around and went shopping.
It’s nothing more than buying some nice paper, ink, brushes and inkstones.
Blue Star's calligraphy is still mainly in the form of brush, which is one of the popular art forms in Blue Star. There are not too many similar shops. There are two shops just a few hundred meters away when you turn left.
And after Jinmu purchased pens, ink, paper and inkstone.
Lin Yuan suddenly called out the system: "I want to customize some Chinese poems, preferably in bulk."
Of course, pens, ink, paper and inkstones must be used in conjunction with wonderful poems to achieve the best effect.
System: "Chinese poetry package special price 50 million, host, would you like to order it?"
Lin Yuan: “…”
Sell me all the poems from your previous life for 50 million
Of course it is worth it. The value of so many poems cannot be measured by money.
But the system is so kind, probably because he cannot make much money from poetry in the short term, and it is too troublesome to customize each poem and each lyric, so he did this.
Considering that the copyrights have been sold one after another recently and a lot of money has been made, Lin Yuan nodded.
"Customize it."
With his current income, he doesn't have to feel bad about spending 50 million to improve himself.
Lin Yuan felt that his image as a stingy and poor person had begun to collapse.
“Customization completed!”
The system speed is not very fast this time, probably because the workload is too heavy.
Fortunately, the system was fixed after ten minutes, and then Lin Yuan felt that countless poems appeared in his mind.
He began to read:
"There is a Peach Blossom Nunnery in Peach Blossom Valley, and in the Peach Blossom Nunnery there is a Peach Blossom Fairy. The Peach Blossom Fairy plants peach trees and picks peach blossoms to exchange for money to make wine."
Um
I have this poem. Is the system cheating me
All right.
There will be duplication in customization, just like the Poirot collection also includes "Murder on the Orient Express".
There is also "The Mysterious Case of Roger" in the detective collection.
As Lin Yuan's voice fell, Jin Mu, who had already bought the pens, ink, paper and inkstone, exclaimed with admiration:
"Sir, you have a very refined taste. No matter how many times I hear this poem, I still find it wonderful."
If it was on Blue Star a hundred years ago, Jin Mu should have called Lin Yuan "Young Master", so his literary opening words were quite appropriate in conjunction with Lin Yuan's poem.
