The King of Crossover Entertainment.

Chapter 99 0099, I like it too
"Ten copies each of the crossover king's "Zhu Xian", "Ghost Blows Out the Light", "Cat's Eye", "Dart Man", and "Wukong Biography".

The person who came in was a student of about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a schoolbag on his back.

"Ah?" The clerk at Xinhua Bookstore was stunned and didn't react.

Wen Liang is a die-hard fan of the King of Cross-Border, a real die-hard fan. His ID on Panda Chinese Network is [朱仙铁粉9527], and he is also a small rich man, one of the silver leaders of "朱仙".

After learning that the book of the novel by the King of Crossovers was on sale today, even though it was sold out online, I still bought it, took it home to collect, and also gave it to a few good friends.

Wen Liang pointed to the poster on the wall behind the clerk and said, "The advertisement has been put up. What's the matter? Is it that the books haven't arrived yet?"

The clerk looked back and finally realized what was going on. He said, "Oh, we have the goods. We need ten copies of each novel, right?"

"Yeah." Wenliang nodded and asked, "Do you have delivery service?"

The clerk shook his head and said, "Our bookstore doesn't have delivery service, but you can choose to send it by courier in the city. We can deliver it on your behalf."

"That's fine." The delivery speed of local express delivery is no slower than that of delivery. Wen Liang paid the money, left the school address and left.

"Awei, why do you look so listless? Didn't you sleep well last night?" When his colleague saw that he had finished his work, he came over and asked.

Ah Wei yawned and smiled bitterly, "I watched a horror online drama last night, and then I tossed and turned in bed, but couldn't fall asleep. I always felt like something was staring at me. When I fell asleep, the alarm went off."

My colleague laughed and said, "What kind of online drama is this? It scared you so much that you couldn't sleep. I want to go and see it for myself."

Ah Wei turned around and pointed at the poster on the wall, saying, "It's the web drama adapted from the novel 'Cat's Eye' by this crossover superstar. You can watch it on Huanyu Video. I warn you, it's really scary."

My colleague said "Oh" and said, "I have read this novel. Actually..."

Ah Wei quickly interrupted him and said urgently: "Don't spoil the story. I haven't read the original novel."

My colleague asked, "Are you still going to watch the online drama on Maoyan?"

Ah Wei said: "Why not watch it? Although it is a little scary, the plot is very good and the actors' acting skills are also good, especially the female lead, who is very beautiful."

Just as his colleague was about to tease him, he saw five or six customers coming in and started to greet them.

"I want a copy of 'The Dart Man'."

"Me too."

"Give me a copy of "The Darter" and "The Legend of Wukong."

"I just want a copy of Ghost Blows Out the Light."

"I want it all."

……

The two of them got busy, and they were busy until noon.

"I'm so tired. I haven't stopped." Ah Wei slumped in the chair. He was doubly tired as he didn't sleep well last night.

The colleague sitting next to him said, "It's not so busy in the afternoon."

Ah Wei asked, "Why? I think this situation will last at least until we close at night."

My colleague laughed and said, "There are only a few copies left. The earliest we can get a restock is tomorrow."

Ah Wei suddenly realized and said, "Then I can take a break this afternoon."

At this time, an old man in his sixties came to the front desk and asked, "Young man, I want to ask you something."

Awei and his friends knew this old man. His surname was Luo. He often read books in their bookstore and would read for several hours.

Ah Wei forced a smile and said, "Uncle Luo, if you have any questions, please tell me."

Grandpa Luo said, "I just looked here for a while. These students bought a lot of books. Are they new exercise books? If so, I will buy a few for my eldest grandson."

Ah Wei smiled and said, "Uncle Luo, what they bought was not an exercise book, but a novel."

As he spoke, he took the only remaining book from the box under the counter and placed it in front of Mr. Luo, saying, "This is it."

"Zhu Xian?" Uncle Luo picked it up, looked at the front and back, and asked, "Can I open it and take a look?"

Ah Wei glanced at the bookshelf in front of him and saw that nothing had been put on it yet, so he nodded and said, "Okay, take your time to look through it."

Uncle Luo opened the package and turned to the first page of the text.

[Prologue

Time: Unknown, probably a long, long time ago. Location: The vast land of China.

Heaven and earth are unkind and treat all things as flattering dogs!
...]

"It's interesting that the book opens with a quote from the Tao Te Ching written by Lao Tzu."

Uncle Luo lives with his eldest son.

But my son is very busy at work and goes out early and comes back late. My eldest grandson is in junior high school and no longer needs to be picked up. My spouse passed away early, and I don’t even have anyone to talk to usually. Apart from going to the park to play chess, I go to the bookstore to read.

He reads all kinds of books, including essays, novels, history books, etc., to pass the time.

And this novel called "Zhu Xian" successfully aroused his interest.

[Originally there are no gods in this world, but since ancient times, humans have seen all kinds of strange things in the world around them, such as lightning, thunder, fire, and natural disasters, with countless casualties and widespread grief, which are absolutely beyond human power to deal with or resist. Therefore, they believe that there are all kinds of gods above the nine heavens, and that below the nine netherworlds is also the place where the souls return, the palace of Yama.]

"Is it about Chinese mythology?"

Uncle Luo had read several novels of this type before, but none of them could transcend the framework established by mythological novels such as "Journey to the West" and "Investiture of the Gods". They lacked innovation, and the vernacular was mixed with classical Chinese, which made them look out of place.

[In today’s world, righteousness flourishes and evil spirits retreat.]

The Central Plains is a land of beautiful mountains and rivers, with a high population and abundant resources, and is firmly occupied by the upright factions. Among them, the "Qingyun Sect", "Tianyin Temple", and "Fenxiang Valley" are the three pillars and the leaders.

This story begins from the "Qingyun Sect"...】

After reading the preface, Mr. Luo decided that this was a good book.

The beginning of a book is extremely important. When a book is taken off the shelf and read through the front cover, back cover, and title page, where will people read next? There are not many choices. Most people will read the beginning of the novel. If the beginning of the novel is not attractive enough, then the book is likely to be put back on the shelf.

Rather than being a guarantee of the quality of the entire novel, the opening chapter is more like a blank check: "I have something good here, give it a try, you will definitely like it."

In Uncle Luo’s eyes, the opening of "Zhu Xian" is like this. There is an invisible magic that attracts him to continue reading.

The plot unfolds with the appearance of two young men, Zhang Xiaofan and Lin Jingyu, from Cao Miao Village.

When seeing the old monk Puzhi saying "Qingyun disciples" while fighting against the black-clothed men who used various evil spells, Uncle Luo was filled with speculations.

Seeing that Cao Miao Village was massacred and only two teenagers were left, Uncle Luo was heartbroken.

One hour, two hours...

From noon to sunset.

Uncle Luo finally finished reading the last page, and after closing the book, he still felt unsatisfied.

"It's so well written. I haven't seen such a wonderful novel in a long time."

In particular, the detailed descriptions of the characters' personalities are quite accurate. For example, the description of the protagonist Zhang Xiaofan's emotions and personality changes makes people truly feel his joy and sadness. There is also the description of the people in Dazhu Peak. Each person has his or her own characteristics, and some are written quite funny.

Uncle Luo believes that it is the author’s superb writing skills as a cross-border superstar that give him such a strong sense of immersion.

He took the book to the front desk and said to Ah Wei, "I bought this one. By the way, is there a follow-up?"

Ah Wei replied: "The sequel has not been published yet, but the novel has been completed and can be read online."

Uncle Luo shook his head and said, "What's the point of looking at a cell phone?"

His eldest grandson knew that he loved to go to the bookstore to read, so he taught him to read e-books on a tablet computer so that he didn't have to go to the bookstore. But he was not interested in e-books and still felt more attracted to reading paper books.

Uncle Luo looked at the time and saw that it was getting dark, so he paid the money, took the book and left.

On the way home, he took out his cell phone and called his friend.

As soon as the call was connected, a friend's voice came: "Lao Luo, why didn't you come to the park today? I was waiting for you to come and take revenge. Don't say I didn't give you a chance, I'll give you another shot."

Uncle Luo snorted, "It's cloudy today, there's no sun at all. Wouldn't it be a crime to go to the park? I'm reading in the bookstore, enjoying the air conditioning, it's so comfortable."

My friend laughed and said, "Oh, you have become smarter now. You know how to find chess records to improve your chess skills. Not bad, not bad."

"What a joke! Do I need to read chess manuals to deal with you?" Uncle Luo explained, "I just found a very good novel. I read it from noon to dusk without realizing it. You always tell me that someone's novel is good. I don't think it's as good as mine."

"It's Guan Hu, a master of fairy tale novels." However, the friend became curious about what kind of novel could change the character of a man who would never give up chess, so he asked, "What novel? I'll buy one tomorrow and see if it's that good."

"Zhu Xian!"
