This result is incredible...
It was so unbelievable that everyone began to suspect that Chu Kuang accepted the literary duel not to defeat David, but to win the heart of the Yan people!
Defeating David might just be a side effect.
Otherwise, how do you explain that Chu Kuang didn’t accept Bai Jie’s invitation to the literary duel before
“Too cruel!”
"I finally understand why Chu Kuang didn't accept Bai Jie's invitation."
"Because Chu Kuang couldn't bear to hurt the Yan people anymore, he didn't want to offend the Yan people completely!"
"Think about it, if Bai Jie was defeated by Chu Kuang, how much would the Yan people hate Chu Kuang?"
"If even the number one long-length writer in the fairy tale world is defeated by Chu Kuang, it means that Chu Kuang alone has completely suppressed the fairy tales of Yanzhou. If the Yan people have a sense of collective honor, they will have a grudge against Chu Kuang."
"Look at how much the Yan people disliked David after he defeated Bai Jie?"
"The cleverness of Chu Kuang's move is that he first lets David defeat Bai Jie, letting David be the villain, and then he makes a brilliant appearance as a hero to defeat David and win the hearts of the Yan people!"
"Before this, the people of Yan all regarded Chu Kuang as the villain boss."
“Now, everything is reversed.”
"Even if the Yan people knew it, they still had to accept it, because Chu Kuang was the one who asked for help!"
"This time, Chu Kuang is in the atmosphere, no, it should be outer space!"
"David used Bai Jie, and Chu Kuang used David. Everything is linked to each other. This is the mindset of an emperor!"
"… "
The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!
After this analysis, people in the fairy tale circles of various continents felt that it made sense.
Because of this series of events, it was such a coincidence.
It was such a coincidence that no one believed it was a coincidence anymore.
Yanzhou has been shouting for so long that “Qinzhou and Chu Kuang have the qualities to be an emperor”, and it was not in vain.
There is nothing wrong with this wave of calculations on the emperor's part!
…
The die is cast.
No matter how the outside world interprets it, it cannot change the fact that Chu Kuang’s new book has a huge pre-sale success.
And in this pre-sale frenzy.
The Yan people showed the most passion.
Then.
A scene that stunned everyone happened:
A news report stated: Sales of "Legend of the Sea" exceeded 10 million!
Later there was news saying: The pre-sale volume of "Alice in Wonderland" exceeded 10 million!
A news report also claimed: Sales of "Legend of the Sea" exceeded 20 million!
Then there was news that followed: The pre-sale volume of "Alice in Wonderland" exceeded 20 million!
One is sales...
One is a pre-sale...
It is not very harmful, but extremely insulting.
David, you have sold so many physical books, but that is only the level of Chu Kuang's pre-sales.
In other words:
Chu Kuang's new book hasn't been officially released yet, but it's already tied with David in sales!
This has to wait until "Alice in Wonderland" is officially released. How can David play it
…
A few days later.
To be exact, it was the day before Alice in Wonderland was released.
Korean continent.
A villa.
David cursed angrily, "Fuck you, these guys who ordered the book online before even seeing it, are they here to give money to Chu Kuang?"
Are you still being unreasonable
How can you play like this
These stupid readers couldn't wait to take off their pants before even seeing what Alice looks like
Aren’t you afraid of overturning
Are you sure this Alice is as beautiful as a fairy
This situation was beyond David's understanding.
The friend next to him had a strange look on his face, and then whispered to comfort him: "The standard for winning a literary competition is not just based on sales..."
“Well, sales volume is just one of the criteria.”
David nodded, then rolled his eyes and said, "But when sales are overwhelming, do you think other criteria are really important?"
The best result was that Alice in Wonderland had hot pre-sales, but its reputation completely collapsed after publication.
However, in order to defeat Chu Kuang, David had studied this opponent in depth.
The chance of Chu Kuang’s works’ reputation collapsing is zero.
On the contrary, the reputation of Chu Kuang's works is generally higher than the market average.
but…
David didn't give up.
At a time when sales are bound to be crushed, word of mouth is his only channel for counterattack.
If he relies on word of mouth to fight back, even if he is only slightly better than the opponent, then this wave can barely be considered a draw.
…
the next day.
David received a brand new copy of "Alice in Wonderland" from his friend.
He was thinking:
A few days ago, Chu Kuang must have opened his "Legends of the Sea" with such trepidation and curiosity!
Look at your friend.
David thanked him, "Thank you for your hard work, dear Lawrence. It was so cold this morning, and you even went to the bookstore to buy me a book."
"bookstore?"
My friend smiled and said, "No need to bother. I ordered it online in advance. The courier is very convenient. Someone will deliver it to my door at 7 o'clock in the morning!"
"… "
David froze and looked at his friend deeply.
Sadness, so great.
But still have to cheer up.
David silently opened Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and began
…
at the same time.
Many readers from Qin, Qi, Chu, Yan and Han also received the novel and began to read it.
Of course, this also includes people from the fairy tale world of each continent.
For example, Bai Jie.
…
Bai Jie also ordered it online.
However, when Bai Jie opened "Alice in Wonderland", no one knew what kind of complicated feelings this Yanzhou's number one fairy tale writer had.
Bai Jie's wife
A beautiful young woman.
She seemed to want to see something from Bai Jie's face, but in the end she saw nothing.
Bai Jie was very silent.
Just flipping through the pages mechanically.
…
Perhaps it was the huge pre-sale storm that aroused everyone's expectations for "Alice in Wonderland".
Although this is obviously a fairy tale, many adult readers couldn't help but read it.
This process usually doesn't last long.
After all, Alice is just a little girl, and the entire text is less than 200,000 words.
Chu Kuang's move was surprisingly short this time.
The advantage of being short is that some people finished reading the novel by noon that day.
For example, David.
For example, Bai Jie.
…
After David finished reading the novel, he fell into a strange silence.
A friend beside him couldn't help but ask, "How are you?"
David smiled: "I'm fihank you."
The friend was surprised: “Can you win?”
David's smile froze slightly: "What are we having for dinner tonight?"
"Why are you suddenly talking about this? The novel..."
David's mouth twitched: "Don't talk about novels, I've given up."
"Are you really okay?"
"I'm fine."
My friend seemed to understand something.
…
The other side.
Bai Jie closed "Alice in Wonderland" and breathed a long sigh of relief.
"How about it?"
The beautiful woman next to her was curious.
Bai Jie pointed in the direction of the table leg.
There was a book there, the title of which was "Legends of the Sea", and then he pointed at himself.
"What's the meaning?"
The beautiful wife was puzzled.
Bai Jie suddenly laughed, and laughed madly:
“They all must die!”
So what if you win against me
Under Chu Kuang, all beings are equal!
