Chapter 150 0150, Thought-Provoking
[In the hall, in the kitchen, in the stable, in the study... in different corners of the pawn shop, there are still servants cleaning, organizing, and maintaining the pawn shop. They can all smell the smell of fire, working on the grass. The servants even saw clouds of smoke coming out of the window.
But no one paid attention, no one was surprised, no one was sad.
In less than half a day, it will be burned to the ground without bones and flesh, leaving only ashes, and that room will be renovated.
When all that is left is ashes, the ashes can be cleared away with a sweep of a broom.
They would quickly rearrange the burnt part, and then wait for the new pawn shop owner to take office.
Maybe it will come in the afternoon, maybe next month, maybe next century.
Only the pawned items will stay here for a long time, everything else is just a passing thing.
Complete book. 】
For readers, it is expected that "Pawnshop No. 8" ends at this time, because Yunfeng has serialized several novels in Weiquan, except "The Bodyguard", which has more than 400,000 words, and "Cat's Eye" , "The Legend of Wukong" were all completed in about 150,000 words.
But……
Being mentally prepared does not mean that you hope to finish it at this time and with this word count.
In fact, readers are having a wonderful time watching it.
And short stories are like this, there is no water injection, the plot is very compact, and every story is a climax.
The most exciting part of the book comes when the male protagonist Han Nuo secretly uses pawns to regain love.
However, the ending of "Pawn Shop No. 8" breaks readers' psychological expectations.
Although the heroine Ah Jing gave up the beautiful life in heaven and returned to the hero Han Nuo, they only experienced love together for one day before they were burned to ashes by the devil.
[Dark-colored male god]: This is the standard ending of Tianwang’s novel, which does not give the male and female protagonists a perfect ending.
[Liu Xiaoye]: Alas, after reading these 20,000 words in one go, I felt quite complicated, a little melancholy, and a little lost.
[Nana]: First it was "The Legend of Wukong" and then "Pawn Shop No. 8". They both felt so depressing.
[Lefting Anus, Protecting Anus, Holding Crotch and Protecting Chicken]: I hesitated between giving it a 7 or a 9, but I finally gave it a 9 because of the author’s rich imagination. "
[Holding a fart in hand]: If there really is a pawn shop No. 8, please come to me, I want to pawn it!
…
Readers have expressed their opinions on the ending of "Pawn Shop No. 8" and even on the entire book.
Perhaps, everyone has a different opinion.
but……
Regardless of whether the ending is good or bad, this is undoubtedly a thought-provoking novel.
More discussions spread from the comment area of this text microcircle to various novel microcircles and even to WeChat Moments.
Although it is not as popular as "The Bodyguard" and "The Legend of Wukong", it has the most topics.
"Everyone also has their own pawn shop in their heart. Good, evil, beauty and ugliness are all in one thought. You pawn something bad, but desire devours you. Pawning makes you fall. One pawn is an endless abyss. Pawnshop No. 8 can only pawn but not return it, which is actually very meaningful. "
"Greed, the frailty of human nature, and the nature of business people not to lose money."
"Anyone who has ever been to a pawn shop will always pawn his soul over and over again because of his own desires, and finally becomes a soulless walking corpse. Only then will he realize that everything is just a mirror and a mirror, and it is all false. !”
"A story that exposes the ugliness of human nature. This setting is like making a deal with the devil. The moment of satisfaction is the moment of repayment."
"It is unlikely that anything magical will appear in real life, but human desires, greed, love, hatred and hatred are real."
…
"Pawn Shop No. 8" was a success.
This novel once again proves that there is no such thing as unpopular themes, only poorly written works.
For Yunfeng.
He didn't know that what he wrote was somewhat similar to the original novel, but it was undoubtedly a novel in his style.
After training in "The Escort", "The Legend of Wukong", "Pawnshop No. 8" and "Release That Witch" which is still being serialized, his writing style has gradually taken shape.
Yunfeng felt that it was worth sacrificing a little speed when coding and modifying the text of the novel in his own style.
Of course, doing this is still copying.
Yunfeng didn't care about this.
If there is something ready-made in front of you, you must use it first.
In the industry, there are mixed reviews for "Pawn Shop No. 8" and Yunfeng.
“I’m just complaining for no reason and forcing myself to tell readers some truth.”
"Wouldn't it be better to write a long novel? Wouldn't it be better to get a million dollars in royalties every month? I have to get involved in short stories."
"The four short stories have very different themes, but they can all be mastered easily. They are geniuses in the world of fiction."
"I feel like it's overkill. These books can be written into full-length novels."
"Fire makes sense."
…
Some praised, some criticized, some lamented...
There are also people who are happy, that is Zheng Rong, who sells a fairy novel journal that is good.
Of course, some people are happy while others are worried. Competitors of fairy novel journals feel a lot of pressure. For example, Lei Chaofan, the owner of Chaofan Magazine, and Yang Ming, editor-in-chief, saw such hot sales, but they could not win before. I now regret having the right to copy the novel "The King of Crossovers".
"The boss of Youxianqi Company is your old classmate, right? I think you worked together before, right? Can you go ask him if you can get him to act as a bridge and talk to that cross-border superstar?"
Lei Chaofan deeply realized how stupid his arrogance and prejudice were at the time.
Now that we have seen the money-making ability of the cross-border superstar's novels, even if the quality of the novels he created later is not as high as the current ones, the accumulated popularity and fans cannot be underestimated.
A best-selling book is hard to come by, and the creators behind it are even more significant.
This kind of person is also wanted by Chaofan Magazine, even if it is just a copy right.
Who would be hard to get along with money?
However, Lei Chaofan's words made Yang Ming feel very uncomfortable, but he couldn't show it in front of his boss. He was silent for a moment, forced a smile, and said, "We haven't contacted each other for a long time."
Lei Chaofan didn't like to guess other people's thoughts, so he didn't notice Yang Ming's abnormality at all, and just said, "Then let's meet up for dinner, drinks, and reminisce. All expenses, come to me for reimbursement."
Yang Ming opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but changed his words when he got to his lips: "I'll do my best."
This is the helplessness of being a worker.
At this time, Yunfeng scanned a few pages of comments in the comment area and posts in the online literary circle, and learned about the different views of fans, passers-by, and colleagues.
The next short story to be serialized on Weiquan is "Waiting for Someone to Have Coffee", a simple story full of love atmosphere.
Yunfeng didn't rush to publish it to warm up Weiquan. This kind of love novel is best published on the Qixi Festival, and there is still some time.
He exited Weiquan and then opened the writer's assistant.
At 12 noon tomorrow, "Release the Witch" will be available.
Because the performance of the same period was not as good as "Zhu Xian" and "Ghost Blowing Light", I directly set the scheduled release of all the manuscripts. I haven't looked at the data for half a month.
There are still various 99+ notifications in the background.
"Some are busy, but let's take a look at the data first."
Word count 608542.

No change, when it is available, the data is still lagging, not comparable to "Zhu Xian" and "Ghost Blowing Light", but compared with novels of the same category, the data is already very high.
However, a large part of them are foreign readers.
It seems that the audience of magic category in China is indeed very small.
It is also because there are few readers, and they can't get the point, and the sense of substitution is relatively poor.
"I hope the subscription ratio is higher."
Yunfeng wrote a thank you note for the book, washed up and went to bed. He had to catch the high-speed train home tomorrow morning.
This delay was long enough. It's time to enjoy the summer vacation.
————
There is a kind of beauty called the morning in Hangzhou.
The beautiful morning glow gently sprinkled among the willow trees.
Such scenery is what many people dream of seeing every day when they open their eyes.
Once again stepping into Hangzhou, Yunfeng no longer feels strange, nor lonely.
