Chapter 36

As a bookstore clerk, Huang Xinjie has loved reading since she was a child, otherwise she would not have come to work in a bookstore.

She has a wide range of reading, basically reading all types of novels.

This time, she fantasized about the Starlight Cup. Several novelists she had read before wrote new books, and she could basically guess the type of work by just looking at the introduction.

In contrast, Huang Xinjie still prefers to read the works of newcomer novelists, so she picked up "Magic City Fortress" and started reading.

However, Huang Xinjie was taken away before reading two pages of the book in her hand.

"Who?" Huang Xinjie's eyes widened.

"Me." The boss replied.

"Didn't it mean that I can read freely when I work here?" Huang Xinjie asked, the boss is her brother.

"It's not that I don't want you to read it. The main reason is that readers are asking for this book." The boss shook his head.

Then he handed this "Magic City Fortress" to another reader.

It was only then that Huang Xinjie discovered that in the lively bookstore, there were about [-] readers who stopped in front of the bookshelves for trial reading, and ten of them were reading "Fortress of the Devil's City".

A total of ten books have been opened for trial reading by readers, which is considered a lot.

You know, trial books are generally not sold in stores.

And these readers read it for more than half an hour, Huang Xinjie stared at the side.

These people wouldn't want to finish this book for nothing in a bookstore, would they?
Huang Xinjie lay on the counter and began to observe.

She didn't have to read after reading two pages just now, which made her desire to read "Magic City Fortress" very high now.

But as a bookstore employee, if you want her to buy books, it is impossible to buy them.

Finally, she saw that the first reader had put down "Fortress of Magic City", and this reader had already finished reading it, achieving the achievement of successfully finishing a new book in a bookstore for free.

However, to Huang Xinjie's surprise, this reader actually chose an unopened copy of "Magic City Fortress" and "Daylight" to check out.

Generally, they are willing to buy another book that they have already read. For Huang Xinjie, there is only one situation, that is, the book is really good and worth putting on the bookshelf.

This made Huang Xinjie even more curious, ready to take over the trial book that had been read in its entirety once.

But unfortunately, he was cut off.

In the end, unable to resist the temptation, Huang Xinjie stepped forward to buy an unopened copy of "Magic City Fortress".

With the cover of the book uncovered, Huang Xinjie was immersed in the pages of the album accompanied by the light.

After more than two hours, the pages of the book kept turning, and Huang Xinjie finally closed the book.

Huang Xinjie let out a sigh of relief looking at the paperback that had been turned over with some curled edges.

If she hadn't known in advance, she would never have believed that the author named Album was a newcomer.

Although the reading experience "Magic City Fortress" gave her is not shocking, it can definitely be called a pleasant reading.

It won't make her regret buying this book, and she also wrote down the author's name on the album page.

It is worthy of being able to pass the primary selection of the Fantasy Starlight Cup in the rookie period, which is indeed of a certain level.

The first novel can produce works of this level, which makes Huang Xinjie feel that this novelist has a promising future.

Maybe it can pass the final selection of the Starlight Cup, and it may not be a hardcover collection.

"Brother, how are the books selling today?" Huang Xinjie looked at the boss and asked.

"You know how to pay attention to the situation in the store." The boss smiled.

"Today's sales are definitely the highest this month." The boss is very satisfied with the bookstore's sales today.

The traffic of Fantasy Starlight Cup is indeed very high, and basically every book is still a bestseller, but in comparison, some sell more and some sell less.

If possible, he hoped that every day would be the day when the primary selection works of the Starlight Cup would be published.

"Which book sells the best?" Huang Xinjie asked curiously.

"Of course it is Chen Su's "Daylight". Many readers bought the book without reading it." The boss said.

"What about "Fortress of the Demon City"?" Huang Xinjie raised the book in her hand.

"This one is the work of that newcomer novelist, right? It's also selling well. The readers who stayed to read the book basically read this one, and the trial version is almost ruined."

"I feel that the sales volume can be ranked in the top three of these ten books." The boss said after thinking about it.

After a simple calculation, the boss was taken aback. He didn't expect a newcomer's work to sell so well.

You should know that the other selected authors have published works that are usually best-selling, and their level is still there.

The sales volume of another new novelist's work ranks ninth among the ten novels, and the gap is still a bit far away.

"If this is not a special case in our bookstore, the album might become the rookie king this year!" Huang Xinjie said.

Rookie King is not an official award, but generally refers to the novelist who debuted in the first year and the author with the highest sales volume of his debut works.

"Very likely." The boss nodded.

In fact, this is really not a special case of Shuguang Bookstore. In other bookstores in Shanghai, the situation is basically the same.

"Daylight" is undoubtedly the best-selling, but other than that, as a newcomer's work "Modu Fortress", the sales volume is either the second or the third.

At the same time that the primary selection works of the Fantasy Starlight Cup were selling well, Jiang Yuan was rehearsing for the new episode of "Love Song Concert" in the studio.

At the end of the rehearsal, music director Ma Zhuo looked at Jiang Yuan and frowned.

In the last competition, Jiang Yuan's performance surprised Ma Zhuo, which was much better than in the rehearsal.

But this rehearsal, Jiang Yuan's performance was similar to the previous ones. Although he handled his emotions well, he still had many shortcomings in technique.

You can't hide your clumsiness on purpose during the rehearsal, right?Ma Zhuo didn't quite understand.

Ma Zhuo shook his head. In the end, he could only attribute Jiang Yuan's last performance on stage to his extraordinary performance. It is impossible for Jiang Yuan to perform exceptionally every time.

During the rehearsal, Jiang Yuan's state was actually quite good, but the buffs opened from the system treasure chest really only took effect during the official performance.

So the rehearsal reflects Jiang Yuan's true level.

Reading Library also counted the sales of Starlight Cup primary selection works before [-]:[-] p.m.

As the editor-in-chief, Yang Chao also got the report.

His eyes were fixed on No.3, 56733 copies of "Magic City Fortress".

A newcomer's work sold more than 24 copies on the first day of publication, not even within 5 hours.

This result is very excellent, it can be said that he has the talent of a rookie king.

Seeing that "Magic City Fortress" is No.3, Yang Chao's mood is better than seeing "Daylight" being the first.

Because this shows that Yuedian Library has successfully discovered a newcomer novelist.

Yang Chao thought for a while, and sent Jiang Yuan the first-day sales of "Magic City Fortress".
