Chapter 142 29.8!

《Seeking the Devil》.

The highly anticipated new fantasy novel by Lao Zei was finally released at the end of June under the attention of the public!

Seeking immortality through cultivation, being free and unrestrained with passion, stepping on the lotus and dragging the waves to cleanse the sword bones, and riding the wind to shape the holy soul!

As soon as this fantasy novel was released, it was so popular that it can be said to be the best novel by Lao Zei!

[Damn, I finally don’t have to read novels like 《The Lotus Lantern》! ]

[Brother, 《The Lotus Lantern》 is the only novel by Lao Zei that I haven’t finished reading. My little heart can’t bear it! ]

[Let’s see how Lao Zei’s fantasy is written! ]

[It can’t be bad! Looking forward to it! ]

Every time Lao Zei’s new book is released, Lao Zei’s fanatical fans will spontaneously promote it on various forums, as if they have spontaneously formed an organization and discipline.

As soon as the first chapter of 《Seeking the Devil》 was updated, thousands of long-awaited readers rushed in crazily.

Just from the first chapter, the eyes of these readers who are used to online novels are bright:

"Online novel style!"

For the same landscape description, the online novel style and the physical book style are very different, with completely different focuses.

Physical books focus more on language, dialogue, and are more refined. Literary novels usually shape the environment and are more "watery".

The first paragraph of "Seeking the Devil":

[A continuous mountain, like a dragon's spine extending, permeates this vast land, with many plants and trees, and the sounds of birds and beasts constantly echoing. ]

It is a familiar taste to readers at first glance!

But just as the readers were reading with relish, many readers' faces turned green.

...

"What's wrong? Brother Zheng, is "Seeking the Devil" not good?"

Huicheng.

Beside Zheng Xiang, several friends asked Zheng Xiang puzzledly.

Zheng Xiang is one of the most loyal fans of Lao Zei. He has been following it since the first "Xianjian". His heart is extremely strong!

In several books, the only plot that broke Zheng Xiang's defense was the plot where Jiang Yang lost his wallet.

Including the plot of "Baolian Lantern", Zheng Xiang held on firmly.

Bang Bang Hard!

But such a strong heart, old readers who have read countless books, showed such an expression?

Before "Seeking the Devil" was updated, Zheng Xiang was full of excitement.

But after the update, his face turned green, and I don't know what happened.

Zheng Xiang shook his head and said, "No."

"But this update is too little!"

"Who can read three thousand!"

Zheng Xiang complained a little helplessly.

There were only three thousand words, and Zheng Xiang hadn't entered the state yet. The protagonist Su Ming of "Seeking the Devil" just appeared, and he was gone!

Just gone like that!

You know, before "Seeking the Devil", Lao Zei has always been a role model in the online literature circle.

No matter it rains or shines, he updates 10,000 words almost every day, and occasionally there are explosive updates!

It is when the update is explosive, readers should always pay attention...

Ten thousand words update, looking at the entire online literature industry is quite dedicated, except for a certain eagle in the previous life.

That tentacle monster can update nearly 30,000 words a day. The original update standard in the entire online literature industry was 4,000 words a day.

But since the appearance of a certain eagle, it has instantly increased to 8,000 words a day.

As the saying goes: "It is easy to go from simple to luxurious, but it is difficult to go from luxurious to simple."

The loyal readers of Lao Zei are used to Lao Zei's ten thousand words update a day.

Although it is still not full, you can still suck your fingers after eating, and you are still not satisfied.

But these three thousand words are not enough to fill the gaps between your teeth!

Biu is so satisfying.

Who can stand this?

For readers, apart from the eunuch who stops updating, what else can be more defensive than this?

Online novels, because of the length of the text itself, have a lot of descriptions and transition sentences due to the style.

The actual content that can be written in the update of three or four thousand words is itself small.

Readers finish reading in a glance, and if they read it, they feel like they haven't read it, so they will naturally scold the author for being "watery".

If the overall reading is smooth, the viewing experience will be very different.

Zheng Xiang's mood is not an exception!

As soon as "Seeking the Devil" was released, there was no need for Su Ming's tragic experience to depress readers. A group of readers began to cry out in dismay.

[Only 3,000 words! 3,000 words! Not even a hair! ]

[Ah, I can't stand it. If "Harry Potter" doesn't satisfy us, I will definitely go after the old thief! ]

[The first time I read a book and saw "To be continued", I felt disheartened...]

[My only wish is that the old thief can stop updating monthly like "Wu Xu" and "The Great Evil God". ]

...

"Is this okay?"

Seeing the readers scratching their heads, Lin Qiu said in surprise.

But then again, when he first drew "Dragon Clan", Lin Qiu had thought about whether to serialize "Dragon Clan" and stop it abruptly after Eri's death.

Blood knife plus eunuch!

Just not being a human!

Later, after thinking about it, he decided to forget it. It's really not something a human can do.

There are so many entertainment works to choose from. There is no need to choose the most criticized and immoral ones.

Lin Qiu is very sure that he is not immoral now, just a porter of nature.

Essentially a good person!

"I am a good person."

Lin Qiu brainwashed himself every day.

...

Xingkong Novel Network Editorial Department.

Seeing that "Seeking the Demon" is updated 3,000 words a day, they don't know whether to be happy or unhappy!

The happy thing is that the old thief's new book "Seeking the Demon" is updated slowly.

What makes me unhappy is that even if the update is slow, there are still such terrifying reward data!

"Huh——"

"At least in terms of Xianque online literature, Xingkong's pressure will be much less."

Zhao Li breathed a sigh of relief.

No matter how awesome the online literature is, once the update is slow, the performance may not be affected too much, but the discussion and popularity will definitely be greatly affected!

The reason why the performance will not be affected is that the readers who should read it will still read it, and the update time will be extended, and many new readers will pour in in the middle.

As for the discussion, there will definitely be many readers who choose to support the book, after all, 3,000 words are too little.

Once the book is supported, the discussion of the latest chapter will be far less than the previous books.

"It seems that Lao Zei has really shifted the focus of writing to physical books."

A smile gradually rose on Zhao Li's face.

As long as Lao Zei's influence in online literature decreases, no matter how awesome the physical book is, can it be awesome to the point where everyone in Xiazhou knows it?

But when Zhao Li smiled confidently, thinking that everything was under control and moving in a good direction, the door of the office was opened, and the editor hurriedly said:

"Editor-in-chief! It's bad!"

Zhao Li picked up the teacup and said leisurely:

"What's the matter?"

"What's the fuss?"

"Xianque will sell Lao Zei's new physical book "Harry Potter" on the website at the same time, and now the pre-sale page is out!"

The editor's words made Zhao Li's teacup fall on the table, and he said in disbelief:

"What?!"

Forgot about this!

Zhao Li quickly opened the Xianque webpage he had collected.

Sure enough, not long after "Seeking the Demon" was officially released, the online pre-sale interface of "Harry Potter" appeared on the homepage of Xianque!

Zhao Li shuddered.

Before this, the book information of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" had not been revealed.

The pricing and sales method were also unknown.

But on this day, it was fully announced!

[Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone will be released on July 19th in major physical bookstores in Xiazhou and Xianque Chinese website, priced at 29.8 yuan! You can now buy pre-sale books on Xianque! ]

"It's over."

"It's over..."

Zhao Li sighed.

The expectation now is to look forward to this Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.

But this is the transformation work that Lao Zei is very confident about. Will it really be successful?

Since Lao Zei appeared, the entire online literary circle has been reshuffled.

And Xianque is the only one who seized the opportunity!

…

As soon as the pre-sale information of the new book was released on the website, many leaders in Lao Zei's leader group supported it at the first time.

Many leaders pre-ordered more than one book!

[I bought a hundred copies! Support Lao Zei's new book! Donate it to my alma mater as an extracurricular reading material! ]

[29.8 yuan, this price is really conscience, but speaking of it, is Lao Zei's book really suitable as an extracurricular reading material? Are you going to ruin these children? 】

【Newbie, what is the difference between online pre-sale and physical store purchase? 】

【No difference, you can read it directly on your phone if you buy it in Xianque, and the physical book will be mailed to your home about a month later, which is much slower. 】

【Oh, then I'll buy it in a physical bookstore when the time comes. It's better to hold the physical book in your hands to feel it. 】

Some readers who don't like to read physical books will see the online sales channel and the price.

"Only 29.8?"

After thinking about it, I decided to buy the pre-sale directly on the website.

30 yuan, just a monthly ticket, just give it as a reward to Lao Zei.

Even if it doesn't suit my taste, I don't feel bad.

But little do I know that the type of "Harry Potter" is also the type that online readers like to read.

Lin Qiu used this best-selling book as a transitional work from online literature to physical books, and he must have considered this aspect.

For a time, the trend of pre-sale started among the readers of the online literature circle.

In just three days, the pre-sale data of Xianque backstage exceeded 50,000 copies!

It seems that this data is nothing compared to the physical book sales of physical bestsellers, which can easily reach millions.

But you have to know that this situation has never appeared on the online sales platform, nor has it ever appeared on any online writer.

I am afraid that in the entire online literature world, only online writers like Lao Zei have such terrifying appeal!

50,000 copies is 1.5 million!

Lao Zei is like representing the entire online literature world and stepping into the physical book world!

The battle has begun!
