Chapter 87 The Campus Novel
Wang Lanlan ran downstairs in a hurry, with a panicked expression. It turned out that she found that the manuscript of the new book had been lost after waking up, and thought that a thief had entered the book bar.

After learning that Liu Xing had taken the manuscript, Wang Lanlan realized it was a false alarm.After washing up, she also sat at the bar to have breakfast with everyone.

"Wang Lanlan, did you revise the new book last night?"

"Ah."

"Which places have you changed?" Liu Xing asked curiously.

When he read the manuscript of the novel last night, the matching degree was only 8.4%, and the grade was none.But the matching degree of the novel in the morning has become 9.9%, and the rating has become one star.

"I added a girlfriend to the shadow man." Wang Lanlan said.

"girlfriend?"

"That's right!" Wang Lanlan said, "Didn't you say that black shadow people can't have wives? I think he is too lonely, so I added a girlfriend to him in the novel, and the name of his girlfriend is Lu Yuxin... ..."

"puff--"

Lu Yuxin, who was sitting by the side drinking hot milk, couldn't hold back for a moment, the milk in her mouth almost sprayed out, she wiped her mouth with a tissue, Lu Yuxin asked, "Lanlan, what did you just say?"

Wang Lanlan smiled and said, "Sister Xin, don't be so excited. I just wrote a heroine in the novel based on you. In "Detective Wang Nan: The Shadowman", the shadowman's girlfriend is It's called Lu Yuxin, they have a good heart, they hit it off, a beautiful woman matches a hero. I wrote this plot very smoothly last night, and it should feel good."

Lu Yuxin frowned: "Lanlan, how can you write indiscriminately?"

"Sister Xin, I didn't scribble. The shadow man really saved you once and even hugged you, didn't he?" Wang Lanlan said, "My novel is based on life, so of course I have to include you in it."

Lu Yuxin reminded: "Can you write like this?"

Wang Lanlan rolled her eyes, feeling uncertain, and asked, "Liu Xing, how about the plot I added last night?"

"You can send the manuscript to the Book Inspection Center for appraisal today." Liu Xing said bluntly.

Wang Lanlan's eyes lit up slightly: "Don't you need to revise the manuscript?"

"No need." Liu Xing was a little worried that the more she changed, the worse she changed, and finally she changed the star-rated novel, "It's almost finished, let a professional book appraiser take a look at it in the afternoon, maybe there will be surprises."

"En." Wang Lanlan nodded. After preparing for so long, she was also looking forward to it.

……

After breakfast, Wang Lanlan began to organize the manuscripts of the new book, and immediately went to the book testing center after finishing.Liu Shiming was about to go to Tianhai University, so the two traveled together.

After they left, a customer of a middle-aged man walked into the book bar and asked, "Little brother, is your boss there?"

Looking back, Liu Xing saw that the person who spoke was a man in his 30s, wearing a suit and leather shoes, with a slightly fat figure, and carrying a black briefcase in his hand. He seemed to be a businessman.

"I am the owner of the book bar." Liu Xing stepped forward.

"Are you the boss?" The man looked at Liu Xing and was very surprised. "I didn't expect there to be such a young boss in Novel Street. I was really embarrassed just now. Hello, my surname is Zhou. Does your book bar have campus novels?"

"Campus novels?" Liu Xing nodded, "Do you want ordinary novels or star novels?"

"Star-rated novels, the higher the level, the higher the level, preferably three-star or above."

"Mr. Zhou, campus novels rarely have three-star ratings, at most two-star ratings."

A look of disappointment appeared on the man's face: "So, you don't have a bookstore either? Alas, don't you think there are three-star campus novels on sale in the entire Novel Street?"

Liu Xing could figure it out. The man seemed to have been looking for a three-star campus novel for a long time in the novel street. He asked curiously, "Mr. Zhou, why do you want a three-star campus novel?"

"For my son." The man said with a long sigh, "I have a 16-year-old son who is currently in high school. This kid is not interested in studying at all. He often skips classes and classes, and his grades are always at the bottom of the class. I hit him I beat and scolded and scolded, but it was of no use."

"Last month, the psychiatrist told me that my son is suffering from school weariness, and we can try to let him read campus novels to treat and cultivate children's interest in learning. So, I bought two two-star campus novels. Novel, after my son finished reading the novel, his anorexia has improved. Unfortunately, the good times don’t last long, and the anorexia has not been cured. Recently, he started skipping classes again.”

"The psychiatrist said that my son's school weariness is quite serious, and the two-star campus novels have limited curative effect. I am afraid that three-star campus novels are needed to completely cure it."

Hearing this, Liu Xing roughly understood the situation.

Campus novels, as the name suggests, are novels about campus life.

Reading campus novels can cultivate students' interest in campus life and improve their enthusiasm for learning.Many students have poor grades, mainly because they hate studying and cannot find the joy of learning, and excellent campus novels can help these students who are tired of learning to get on the right track.

The higher the level of campus novels, the better the effect of treating anorexia.

It's just that the rating of novels in this category is generally below two stars, and rarely exceeds three stars, which has something to do with its subject matter.

The themes of campus novels have certain limitations. They tell stories that happened on campus. The plots, characters, and ideas are all easy to be the same.

Among the ten campus novels, eight are almost carved out of the same mold. They lack freshness and are prone to aesthetic fatigue when reading, and even produce rebellious psychology.

As a result, many campus novels cannot catch the eye, and there is no one in a hundred that can fascinate. As for campus novels that can be fascinating, they are rare.

The number of campus novels is actually very large, but the high-quality ones are pitifully few.

Most of the campus novels in the novel street bookstore are one-star, there are a few two-star novels, but there are almost no three-star campus novels.

"Boss Liu, where can I find a three-star campus novel?" the man asked with concern.

Feeling sorry for the world's parents, Liu Xing could easily understand the man's feelings, and said, "Mr. Zhou, how about this? You leave a phone number. If you have a three-star campus novel, I will contact you."

The man nodded, and specifically asked: "Boss Liu, if there are three-star campus novels, you must help me keep them. The price is not a problem."

After leaving his contact information, the man left first.

After this little episode, Liu Xing couldn't help having some thoughts in his heart.He checked the information about campus novels on the Internet and found that there are not many high-quality campus novels on the market today.

In the past ten years or so, there has been a popular saying in the circle of writers in Huaxia Kingdom that writers who write campus novels are not well-known writers.Only entry-level writers would create campus novels, which are such rotten themes, and many top writers disdain to create this type of work.

Over time, campus novels have become synonymous with low-end novels, and there have been fewer and fewer high-quality novels.

"This should be a good opportunity."

The current traffic of Meteor Book Bar is decreasing every day, and Liu Xing is considering finding a batch of good books to attract traffic, thus reversing the situation.

Judging from the current situation, campus novels seem to be a good choice.Campus novels are not without audiences, but lack of high-quality novels.

At present, it is hard to find high-quality campus novels on the market, but there is one place where you can find them—the pile of waste books!

Decades ago, campus novels were once extremely popular, but this subject matter was written badly later, and now writers are reluctant to touch it again.The golden age of campus novels was about 40 years ago. Among the waste books left in that period, it is very likely that there are many excellent campus novels that have been buried.

Thinking of this, Liu Xing preliminarily determined his plan - to buy waste books of campus novels.

A few months ago, he had bought tens of thousands of waste books, and he had already bought more than half of the waste books in Fiction Street.

Despite this, there are still a large number of waste books in Tianhai City that no one cares about.

In fact, the group with the most waste books is not booksellers, but novel collectors.

Most of these collectors are hardcore book fans. They have been collecting novels for decades, and the backlog of novels is more than that of ordinary bookstores, including waste books.

The price of novels is high, and those who can become novel collectors generally have very good family backgrounds, most of them are billionaires, and they are all prominent figures in society.

Therefore, in the set of "Secret Files of Important People in Huaxia Kingdom" written by Jin Santong, there are many secret files of collectors.

In the archives, information about collectors is introduced, including the number of books they collect, the types of books they collect, and so on.

Liu Xing is now preparing to buy a large number of waste books, and his first choice of acquisition targets are precisely these novel collectors.

So, he immediately went to the underground library of the book bar.

……

On the second floor of the underground library, Liu Xing stood in front of the bookshelf and began to flip through the 97th volume of "Secret Files of Important People in Huaxia Kingdom", which recorded the files of more than 200 collectors.

The personal collections of these collectors are basically more than 5 volumes. They not only collect star novels, but also ordinary novels, and even waste books.

After reading some of the archives in the book, Liu Xing discovered a phenomenon that many collectors prefer a certain type of novel, and collect a large number of novels of this type, even if they are waste books, they will not let them go.

Some collectors like mystery novels, some like romance novels, and some like science fiction.

Among more than 200 collectors, Liu Xing found 3 collectors who like to collect campus novels, one is in Jinghua City in the north of China, and the other is in Xichuan City in the west of China. Both of them are thousands of kilometers away from Tianhai City. Not considered for now.

The remaining collector happened to be in Tianhai City. His name was Sun Xuecai, and Sun Xuecai's personal file was recorded in "Secret Files of Important People in Huaxia Kingdom".

【Secret file number 24545】

Name: Sun Xuecai
Age: 42 years old

Identity: A well-known novel collector in Tianhai City

Book collection: Personal collection of 12 volumes, of which campus novels account for a quarter. He is the collector with the largest collection of campus novels in Tianhai City.

Personal privacy: 1. When I was a student, I had a crush on the school belle, and I didn't dare to confess it, so I like to read campus novels to make up for the regrets of the year...

……

After reading Sun Xuecai's profile, Liu Xing was secretly happy, because Sun Xuecai was exactly the collector he was looking for.Sun Xuecai has about 3 campus novels in his hands, many of which must be useless.

These waste books are all works from decades ago. The older the time, the higher the possibility of finding good books.If these waste books can be acquired, there may be unexpected surprises.

Therefore, Liu Xing decided to visit Sun Xuecai.

The information in "Secret Files of Important People in Huaxia Kingdom" was collected by Jin Santong 40 years ago. At that time, Sun Xuecai was only 42 years old. Time has passed, and now Sun Xuecai is 82 years old.

"Sun Xuecai should still be alive, right?"

With such doubts in mind, Liu Xing left the underground library, ready to go to Sun Xuecai's home...
