Chapter 103 Magazine Release
"Bai Da, I didn't expect that you would enter the physical world quietly, and the martial arts you wrote would be so exciting."
"The writing style of "Seven Weapons" is really amazing, and the layout is also shocking. The fantasy is well written, and it is written with pure love. The martial arts is also so amazing. Is there anything else you can't do..."
After leaving the magazine and on the way back with Amber, Luoyang listened to Amber chattering in his ears like a lark, looking very excited.
Before going to Xia Ke Magazine, Luoyang had already sent all six stories of "Seven Weapons" to Amber to read, and it was precisely because of this that Amber looked like he couldn't help himself.
"But Bai Da, why have you only written six stories for "Seven Weapons"? Are you still writing another one?" Amber suddenly asked curiously.
Luoyang shook his head: "Because I can only write these six stories at the moment."
Gu Long only wrote six articles before passing away. Luoyang naturally thought of writing another article to complete "Seven Weapons", but after trying for a while, he had no choice but to give up.
The shape of Gu Long's pen is easy to obtain, but its spirit is difficult to obtain.
Rather than trying to make up for it by writing a subpar story, it would be better to let this pit remain in the hearts of book fans forever.
Who said that imperfections are also a kind of beauty? Sometimes it makes sense if you think about it carefully. You don't need to artificially destroy it.
After parting ways with Amber on the road, Luoyang returned to school.
As a result, Luoyang was pulled into the office by the counselor before he could take a breath as soon as he returned to school.
"Luoyang, I checked the attendance report. You've been absent from class a lot recently." In the office, counselor Xu Jie said with a headache.
Luoyang felt a little embarrassed. He went to the magic city to stay for a few days. Naturally, he missed all the classes that he should and shouldn't skip. There was nothing wrong with him being dragged to the office now.
So he could only sneer and say: "I was dealing with some things, so I was delayed, otherwise it wouldn't be a good idea to ask for leave all the time, right?"
Xu Jie shook his head helplessly, reaching out to avoid hitting the smiling person. Many times Luoyang didn't look like a student in terms of speech and demeanor, but more like a peer, so Xu Jie couldn't reprimand him confidently.
"Actually, it's okay to skip class occasionally. I see that you are quite busy sometimes. Can you tell me what you are busy with?" Xu Jie asked.
"Actually, I've been writing a novel recently, and I just submitted a manuscript to a magazine. The magazine will be on sale on the first issue next month."
Now that "Xia Ke Magazine" wants to use his true identity for publicity, I guess he can't hide the fact that he writes novels in it. It's better to tell the truth. Maybe it can also serve as a shield, which is good.
As expected, Xu Jie showed interest: "Writing a novel? What type of novel is it?"
It's not surprising that he can write novels, but in Xu Jie's opinion, if his novels can be published in magazines, it shows that he still has a certain level of strength.
Luoyang said: "It's a short martial arts story, published in "Xia Ke Magazine"."
""Xia Ke Magazine"? What does this magazine have to do with "Xia Ke Jiang Hu"?" Xu Jie asked. He was also very interested in martial arts novels.
"'Xia Ke Magazine' is a little-known little magazine. It is a brand of 'Xia Ke Jiang Hu'. One mainly promotes short and medium martial arts stories, and the other specializes in long novels."
"So that's it." Xu Jie nodded and said with a smile: "That's good. At least you're skipping class and not going out to play around. But you'd better pay attention to it in the future. There's also that magazine. I'll buy a copy later. I support you."
Luoyang nodded and said jokingly: "Sure, then I'll thank the counselor for not killing him."
——————
The next few days were very leisurely in Luoyang, and before we knew it, it was December 1st.
This day was the day when the December issue of "Xia Ke Magazine" was officially released. Early in the morning, a customer walked into Qiyue Bookstore.
"Boss, is "Martial Arts" available now?" an old man with slightly gray hair asked.
"Martial Arts" is a magazine that specializes in serializing short and medium-sized martial arts stories. Every issue publishes works by famous martial arts masters, and its sales are very hot.
"Hey, Mr. Li, you are here to buy magazines again. Where is "Martial Arts Style"?" the boss said, pointing to the most conspicuous bookshelf.
The boss is very familiar with this old man. His surname is Li. He lives in a nearby community. He is an old reader who has been obsessed with martial arts for many years. He buys basic martial arts magazines from his store and reads them every month.
The old man known as Mr. Li nodded, walked over and picked up a copy of "Martial Arts Style". When he was about to pay the bill, he suddenly saw a magazine next to "Martial Arts Style". This magazine was called "Xia Ke Magazine".
"Boss, you still have "Xia Ke Magazine" here? This magazine hasn't closed down yet?" Mr. Li said.
He has watched martial arts for many years, and he used to love long-form martial arts the most.
But now that he is older, Mr. Li's taste has begun to favor short and medium-length martial arts.
He tried to buy various magazines that published short martial arts stories, including this "Xia Ke Magazine".
However, after reading two issues of "Xia Ke Magazine", Mr. Li was extremely disappointed with the works published in it and did not buy any more for many years.
And because the sales of this magazine are not good, many bookstores don’t even carry "Xia Ke Magazine". I didn’t expect to encounter it again today. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen it.
The boss said helplessly: "This "Xia Ke Magazine" was specifically requested by several old customers. After all, this magazine was once glorious, and they have a lot of feelings for it, so I will order 20 copies each time."
"It's purely to sell the face of those old customers. I will leave a few copies for them. The rest that can't be sold out will be given away as gifts. You are also an old customer of mine. If you want it, I will give you this one."
Mr. Li nodded and said with some emotion: "Okay, this magazine is also my memory of the past."
In fact, although "Xia Ke Magazine" is bad, it has relied on the support of "Xia Ke Jiang Hu" behind it. It has not closed down for many years, which is rare.
After returning home, Mr. Li threw "Xia Ke Magazine" aside and turned to read "Wulin Feng" seriously.
However, this issue of "Wulin Feng" disappointed the old man. The works of the so-called martial arts masters published were also a bit stiff and old-fashioned, which made people drowsy.
An hour later, after reading the magazine, Mr. Li shook his head and said to himself with some sadness: "It seems that martial arts is really declining now. Even the masters who write martial arts are starting to follow the old path and are spinning in a dead end without any innovation."
When he was about to get up and cook, Mr. Li saw the "Xia Ke Magazine" that he had thrown aside.
I didn't read it carefully before, but now I look carefully, the production of this "Xia Ke Magazine" seems to be much more exquisite than before.
This magazine uses a black cover with a very strong texture. The illustration is two weapons, and at the top of the illustration, there is a line of words written--
"A freshman at Tiandu University, a genius martial arts novelist, amazing works: "Eternal Sword" and "Peacock Feather"!!"
Mr. Li showed a rare interest on his face: "A martial arts novel written by a student of Tiandu University? Haha, I want to see what kind of martial arts the current college students can write."
