Chapter 240 "Three-Body Problem" goes on sale, sounding the horn

A week seemed to have passed in the blink of an eye. On this ordinary morning, couriers were dividing the previously pre-sale novels to readers across the country through logistics.

Among the previous online pre-sales, the pre-sale volume of "Twilight" reached 590,000 copies, including Dangdang, Douban Reading, Amazon's three major book stores and other shopping websites. This pre-sale volume is obviously very high for foreign writers.

Lin Han's pre-sale volume of "The Three-Body Problem" was supported by his hard-core fans, and stubbornly reached 310,000 copies. This number is the most he has so far, and it is stronger than the previous books.

It is not easy to make readers pay for money without seeing any novel content.

Now Lin Han is rising as strong as a comet, giving science fiction readers a mark: Lin Han’s production must be a fine product!

It is precisely because of this belief that they are willing to spend money to believe Lin Han, believing that "The Three-Body Problem" is a science fiction masterpiece.

The emergence of pre-sale results also gave a prediction of the subsequent official sales results. It seems that the sales of "Twilight" is close to twice that of "The Three-Body Problem". At first glance, the results have been cleared.

But this week has not ended, and no one can predict the final result. Lin Han's science fiction novels are famous for their strong potential. Almost every book is average at the beginning, and then gradually reverses with its excellent reputation.

Many people are waiting. Can Lin Han achieve a Jedi counterattack this time?

...

The autumn is clear and the weather is clear. The withered yellow leaves fall from the French sycamore trees on both sides of the street. A gust of autumn wind blows, dancing like a butterfly, and then landing on the sidewalk.

Zhu Ziwen rode his bicycle and rushed forward quickly. The wheels and winds rolled up the fallen leaves, leaving only a chic back for passers-by.

He is a junior at Yanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics. He receives national scholarships every year and always sits in the first row in class.

But he was late today. He was almost halfway through the first class. He hurriedly parked his bicycle in the aisle below the teaching building and ran up in three steps.

At this time, the professional teacher was talking endlessly about the things on PPT, but after seeing Zhu Ziwen, he was a little surprised.

Being late for so long is not a master's style, but the teacher looked at him and continued to class.

"Ziwen, why are you so late today? Did you oversleep?"

Just now, Zhu Ziwen heard a classmate next to him asking questions, so he whispered, "No, I got up at 7:30 today. I went to a bookstore outside the school to buy the "Three-Body Problem". I thought I could come back, but I didn't expect that there were so many people queuing up to buy books, so I was late."

The seats in the university classroom are not fixed, and everyone can choose their own position freely, but after a few years, everyone has almost found their own position. Most of the front row are academic masters and pseudo-school masters, while most of the back rows are academic bad students and couples, which are clearly different.

After hearing Zhu Ziwen's answer, the man was very surprised, "You actually read novels too? You should go and buy them when you have lunch, and you don't have to hurry up for this half day. The attendance form has just been collected, and it's rare for you to be late."

Another female student with glasses on his left suddenly asked, "Is "The Three-Body Problem" really that good?"

"It should be okay. I saw that many people were buying at the bookstore, and the sales staff there didn't even put it on the shelves. They stood by and sent one to someone." Zhu Ziwen didn't expect that Wenwen's quiet people would pay attention to this.

Immediately afterwards, the female student spoke again, "You can take a look first. If it looks good, I will buy one too."

Just as they were whispering, the teacher on the podium tapped the table with a pen, reminding them to listen carefully to the class immediately.

...

Most bookstores across the country have posted posters of "Twilight" and "Three-Body Problem", and they also need performance support. The more books they sell, the higher the income of bookstores will be.

The poster of "Three-Body Problem" is very exquisitely made. The next alien ship in the vast universe appears quietly. The tension and oppression are very obvious, making people want to see what is going on.

In the huge bookstore, rows of bookshelves are neatly placed, teaching aids and reading materials, and there are many people in children's literature, and the professional book area seems deserted, but in the popular literature area, many people gather there.

There are men and women, and there are even people standing aside and reading with books in hand, looking at them first in the bookstore.

"Don't squeeze, "Twilight" is sold on the other side, here is the display rack for "Three-Body Problem"." A tall and thin boy suddenly spoke. He was standing next to the display rack waiting for the bookstore employees to restock.

Originally, a pile of more than 40 books were sold out in an hour. I thought it would last for half a day, but I didn't expect it to be sold so quickly.

The one who was squeezed over was a long-haired beauty. She had a hot temper. "It was obviously the person behind me who was squeezing me, but I almost got knocked down. "Twilight" was written by a little girl. I don't watch that kind of love. I came to buy "Three-Body Problem"!"

"Oh, you actually read science fiction novels too. I thought women didn't like it."

Facing the beauty who actually talks like this, it is completely a matter of being lonely.

Among the few people waiting here, there is only one female, most of whom are male readers.

In the sales area of ​​"Twilight", some girls who are studying are the main force in purchasing. There is no sign of a man unless they are here to buy books with their girlfriends.

This is not only a showdown between science fiction and romance novels, but also a positive PK between women's purchasing power and men's purchasing power.

Readers who are still reading the book seriously have become the thorn in the eyes of others. So many people are waiting to receive the goods, but he only gets the book, but he doesn't go to check out the bill.

"Brother, did you buy this book? If you don't, I'll take it to pay the bill." A reader holding the phone couldn't help but urge him.

Moving his eyes out of the novel world, the man who was obsessed with reading books replied, "Buy, you must buy it, otherwise why would I run over so early?"

After saying that, he quickly closed the novel and walked quickly towards the cashier, as if he was afraid that he would be snatched away by others.

At this time, as soon as the staff member who was pushing the cart appeared, they were immediately surrounded by consumers. She didn't even need to hand it over. These people turned around and walked away with books.

The cart was originally full, but after the storm of rushing to buy, only a few books were left!
