"Master Ma Long, you don't seem to be... happy?"

At noon three days later, Adela asked such a question strangely after packing Ma Long with a thick stack of newspapers with the smell of fresh ink.

It’s so strange. Didn’t it say that Master Ma Long has confirmed the name of the latest and most popular best-selling writer in the newspapers these days?

On the morning of signing and selling the books, a total of 66 sets of hardcover collections, 2,736 sets of simple collections, and more than 5,000 single books were signed and sold.

Then, on the same day and the next day, more than 2,000 collections of books and more than 60,000 single books were sold in the bookstores scattered in Baisha City.

You know, the price of the hardcover collection is 99 R2 per set! Ordinary citizens have to eat or drink for about two months before they can buy a hardcover collection! The price of the simple decoration collection is 99 R2! The price of a single book is slightly cheaper - the average price is 000 R29 R2.

This data does not even include the 8,437 books of the single-line version of "The Little Prince" and the 10,620 books of "The Earl of Monte Cristo"!

After all, the unexpected slave riot in Baisha City disrupted the red-haired queen Evena of Emerald Emblem Publishing House, and the original roadmap for publishing "Marlong - The Lost Traveler Novel, Fairy Tale Series".

Originally, "The Little Prince" and "The Earl of Monte Cristo" should have been published the week of the violent slave riot, while other fairy tales would be slightly postponed to be published.

Fortunately, I lost it and gained it. Although Evena's original plan was disrupted, after nearly a month of continuous fermentation and hype, readers' expectations for the novels and stories written by Ma Long seemed to have reached their peak.

That's why Ma Long, who had never published a book, signed and sold his book for the first time, but the scene was so popular that it almost completely blocked traffic on Banmubuk Street.

These data actually appeared in major newspapers in Baisha City yesterday. How could Evena, who had completely tasted the huge benefits of large-scale public opinion propaganda, let such a good publicity opportunity slip away from her?

Even Evena took the opportunity to play the warm sales card at Malone's suggestion-

During the slave riot, some prepayers unfortunately passed away. Although these prepayers even paid 50% of the prepayers, according to the convention, if the relatives of the other party's relatives did not come to make up for the remaining payment, the publisher could regard these reservations as non-existent.

But Evena specially transferred and hired people to deliver the books ordered by the deceased readers to their relatives.

The covers of these specially made books are white, and the same sentence is printed on the title page: "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

In fact, the number of readers who died in the riot night was less than one percent of all the users who were prepaid, which totaled only 2,000 books. The money needed by the Jade Emblem Publishing House to spend on remands, plus the labor cost of hiring workers was only more than 1,000 rand, but the effect was extremely significant!

Most of the ignorant who accidentally received these books were hit by the warm card played by the jade emblem and hit the softest part in his heart...

Therefore, it is light to write a letter of thanks and to go to the publishing house to thank them in person. More than 70% of the vassals who received special books either personally or ask for help to deliver the final payment of the part of the payment that was missed.

What moved Ma Long the most was a poor widow who lived in a suburban village outside Baisha City—

The poor widow got up from midnight to travel. She walked all day before finally finding the Emerald Emblem Press on Banmubuk Street at sunset.

Then, in front of Evena, the poor widow trembled with her cracked hands and pulled open the corners of her tightly sewn clothes, and took out two 1pc denomination notes that had been completely soaked in sweat, as well as twenty or 1pc denomination notes.

While using his trembling hands to straighten these sweat-soaked banknotes into stacks and hand them to Evena, the poor widow was muttering: "My son is a bastard. He obviously bought expensive books, how can he not pay enough money for the book? Please count this lady, there are a total of forty-nine Pooles. Please give this money to Little Malone. Little Malone is such a kind-hearted and good person. How can he suffer a loss..."

Before he finished speaking, the poor widow's completely red and swollen eyes could not help but shed tears again.

"Miss, I want to eat some dry food with water. Can you give me a glass of cold water? Don't worry, I will leave immediately after I finish drinking, and I will definitely not dirty the house..."

Wiping away the tears, the poor widow said in a very embarrassed tone again. She had been traveling all day long, and now she was really hungry and thirsty. She couldn't go back if she didn't eat something and drink some water.

But Evena shook her head, then pointed across the street to the Golden Reilly Publishing House, which had already removed the sign, and said, "Auntie, I don't have cold water here, so... I can only treat you to a simple meal!"

"This is not, this is not possible! How can I let you spend money on Miss? Miss, you are as beautiful as the princess in the painting, and I am just an old and dirty widow." The poor widow waved her hands repeatedly, and she felt that she was completely ineligible to enter the restaurant opposite that looked very high-end - that kind of place. Only the beautiful and elegant lady in front of her was qualified to enter!

However, at Evena's insistence, the poor widow was eventually taken to the newly opened restaurant by her and ate the most hearty meal she had ever delivered in her life.

During the conversation, Evena learned that the poor widow's only son, who had just entered a slave factory in Oshana District as a bookkeeper, was among those prepayment subscribers who died on the night of riots.

Finally, at the strong request of the poor widow, Evena, who had originally planned to keep her for one night, finally had to let Alan Doyle drive her home overnight.

The reason why poor widows must go home is that they cannot cause trouble for Evena anymore, and the second is that there are still animals at home, and they will be hungry if they go back tomorrow.

...

Soon, this touching story was soon published in the White Sand Morning Post by the reporter of the Spirit Cats in sensational language.

In the current White Sand City, as long as it is suitable for news about Malone, it is definitely the one that attracts readers' attention and buys**!

So in the "Baisha Morning News" published today, the latest big news is the Ma Long series of fairy tales and novels, with sales data nationwide - a total of 2 million sets and books printed and put on the national market, have sold more than half in just two days!

Although this is the total sales data of nine books, the individual sales volume of each book divided is only about 100,000 yuan. Compared with the top best-selling writers, the sales data of single-item books that often exceed one million in the national market is not a great data, but this is the national sales data after all!

That’s right, those top best-selling writers can achieve sales data of millions of copies at any time!

Who made this other world, similar to TV and radio, not yet invented, and printing books requires a printer who masters magic printing techniques to complete them, so the blatant large-scale piracy basically does not exist?

In order to ensure the overall income level, the printers established the Printers Union thousands of years ago. The Printers Union will not tolerate the existence of private printing, that is, pirated printing.

Well, at the same time, it is impossible to develop, and there is also the mechanical printing technology of the earth's world...

For Adella, who already shared the same woe with Ma Long, she would sympathize with the poor widow, but would not care about the sales of top best-selling writers, nor would she pay attention to the printer union that hindered the emergence of mechanical printing. The only thing she cared about was-

The data of a total sales volume of over one million copies in a single day means that Ma Long has successfully taken the first step towards becoming a best-selling writer in the country!

But why did Young Master Ma Long look unhappy today?

With a question, Adella, who had packed up the newspaper, found that her previous question seemed to have been ignored by Ma Long, who was distracted, stared at her slightly curious purple eyes and asked the question again: "Master Ma Long, do you seem to be unhappy?"

This time, Malone finally reacted, and he reached out and clicked in the middle of the top of the stack of newspapers compiled by Adella.

There are two red circles of news at that location, and their topics are-

"After the White Sand Slave Riots--The famous leader of the famous slave movement in Brest City was shot dead!"

"The Vice President of Tongmo Research Institute obtained a new energy patent and opened Carlos-Wilkin New Energy Company!"

Then, Adella heard Ma Long talking to herself with a little annoyed look: "I made a mistake. I didn't expect that there was a patent office in this world!"
Chapter completed!
