I really don't want to be a novelist

Chapter 287 A Complete Set
"I told you, you won't regret it, Mr. Katz."

"No, I regret it."

In the bookstore outside the university.

Professor Kalts came in again.

The bookstore owner smiled when he saw him.

And Kartz did not regret buying the excellent work "The Bird in the Cage".

In fact, after he returned to his residence, he read the book all night without letting go.

For this reason, I had to ask for leave the next day to catch up on sleep in the house.

When I read it, I was excited, excited, and nervous, and my emotions kept fluctuating with the stories in the book.

This is the second such good work he has seen recently, the previous one was "Epic of the Empire".

But he still said this to the bookstore owner.

But then, with a smile on his face, he added one more sentence,
"I regret not buying it sooner. I almost missed such an excellent work with stubborn prejudice."

The bookstore owner paused at Kalts' words, and then laughed.

"It seems that you really like it, Mr. Kalts... well, just like me. When I read that the protagonist understood the 'truth' under the tree at night, I jumped up while lying on the bed reading a book!"

"Yes! That scene is really exciting and exciting, just like when I read the "Epic of the Empire" and saw the leader Yu leading the group to establish the country of the Kaji people!"

What the bookstore owner said made Kalts excited, which was a sense of recognition that other people also liked his favorite works.

"...Then now, does Mr. Kalts prefer "Epic of the Empire", or is he more looking forward to the new work of the author of "The Bird in the Cage", the author of 'Dog'?"

"'Dog Author'?"

"Yes, this Chinese word is a kind name for the author. It is said that readers in China call him that."

"'Dog Author'? Seems like an interesting name. But your question is really giving me a hard time."

Kalts had a smile on his face, and after reading "Dog Author" a few times, he said,

"... These are two equally excellent works... If you have to say which one I like more, "The Caged Bird" or "The Epic of the Empire", I may still prefer the "Epic of the Empire", but this does not prevent me The anticipation of the new works of 'Dog Author', "Seven Days of Hell" and "Hour Hand Leaps to Death", right?
Europe!I have already begun to suffer. When I see readers of 'ABC' and readers of 'Dog Author' arguing on the Internet, which side should I stand on! "

Professor Kalts said exaggeratedly.

"It's okay, people can't just read one work, right?"

The bookstore owner said with a smile,

It's like a demon that is gradually degrading the 'ABC' fanatics.

"That's right."

"Then Mr. Kalts, are you here today to tell me that you regret seeing "The Bird in the Cage" late?"

"Of course not only."

Professor Kalts said with a smile,

"Didn't you say earlier that the English versions of "Seven Days of Hell" and "Hour Hand" will be released soon. I checked the release time on the Internet, and it is today. So can you please bring me a copy of "Seven Days of Hell" and "Hour Hand" ?"

"No, to be precise, the language versions of "Seven Days of Hell" and "Hour Hand" are on sale. Apart from the English version, I also have other language versions. But Mr. Katz, are you a bit late?"

"Students from your school and residents of the town have already lined up at the door of the bookstore this morning before I even opened the door."

The bookstore owner looked outside the bookstore door, and the sun outside the house had already risen.

"Oh no!"

"I have two classes this morning, and I already asked for leave yesterday. It's really inconvenient to ask for leave again this morning, so I came back after class. Is it gone? Is it sold out?"

Professor Kalts felt a little uncomfortable listening to the bookstore owner.

The bookstore owner laughed,
"No, there are more. This time I bought a lot of goods. In addition, I know that Professor Katz, you will never miss the new book of 'Dog Author' after reading "The Caged Bird", so I left you a whole set "Seven Days of Hell" and "Hour Hand", not only in English, but in all languages. I have also collected this set, Mr. Katz, do you want it?"

"of course."

Professor Kalts' eyes lit up, and he agreed without much hesitation.

Although the English version may be the only one he can read, other language versions are also good choices to take back for collection.

"Here, Professor Kalts, this is a complete set, and it may be difficult for you to carry it."

"It's okay, even if it is moved a little bit, I will move it back."

The complete set of "Seven Days of Hell" and "Hour Hand" in each language version is indeed quite a lot, with a total of about ten books.

It's all piled up.

"No, I mean, I have a cart here, maybe I can lend it to you."

"Thank you so much."

Kalts took the book and put it on the trolley provided by the bookstore owner,
Simply read through each version of the book again.

Delwin Publishing House, which is in charge of publishing the overseas editions of these two books, is indeed careful.
At least that's where the money is spent on the cover.

Each language version has a different cover.

For example, in "Seven Days of Hell", the cover of each edition is basically a metaphor for a kind of disaster encountered by human beings in the book.

On the cover of "Hour Hand Leaps to Death", the overall picture is similar, but the details seem to show the different states of the protagonist after the countdown appears.

With regard to the setting of this cover,
For readers like Kalts who like the works of dog authors,
It is already very collectible.

"...Sir, maybe we can hold a gathering similar to a book club, and we can discuss the works of 'Dog Author' together."

Kalts was a little excited when he read the book, and then raised his head to look at the bookstore owner, who also likes the works of 'Dog Author', and suggested jokingly.

"Mr. Kalts, as far as I know, there is such a society in your university, discussing the different works of 'ABC' and 'Dog Author', they are divided into two factions, or even more factions, they get together, sometimes They will argue with each other because of "The Epic of the Empire" and "The Bird in the Cage", but there will also be quarrels among the readers of the "Epic of the Empire"... Maybe Mr. Kalts, you can go to their club and serve as their instructor."

The bookstore owner said with a smile.

"Really? Then when I finish reading these two books, I must read them. But now I am more anxious to read these two works."

"Then I'll go first, and I'll discuss it after I finish reading these two works."

Checked out.

Professor Kalts is anxious to go back and watch "Seven Days of Hell" and "Hour Hand",
I'm so anxious,
After saying hello to the bookstore owner, he pushed the small cart borrowed by the bookstore owner and left.

"...Boss, check out."

At this moment,
There were other customers in the bookstore who came to check out with two books in their arms.

"Twenty pounds in total. That's the price for a set of two books."

The books that the customer handed over to check out were also "Seven Days of Hell" and "Hour Hand".

Billed the customer,

The bookstore owner watched the customer walk away with the book in his arms,

Put some more smiles on your face.

Sure enough, he was right to enter so many volumes of "Seven Days of Hell" and "Hour Hand".

The university not far from the bookstore can provide him with enough customers,
There are even residents who are far away from the bookstore, because the bookstore there is out of stock,
I drove to him specifically to buy it.

The bookstore owner thought, the more smiles on his face.

"No, I have to buy some more."

……

"..."

magic capital.residence.

Ji Zhuo watched the people from the two logistics companies arrive one after another,

Several logistics guys carried big cardboard boxes filled with books to his house,

Ji Zhuo's smile disappeared.

Especially the logistics company that came later,
After Ji Zhuo opened the door, they felt like they had nowhere to go when they moved the boxes inside.
"Sir, we'll put this box on top for you, can you put it?"

"Okay, let it go."

Books from Delwin and Burt arrived at the same time in one day.

So four thousand books were packed in forty big cardboard boxes, which filled the living room of Ji Zhuo's house and extended to the bedroom.

Two boxes were placed on the bay window.

Ji Zhuo is the first time that so many books are placed in this room at the same time.

Ji Zhuo was wondering if it would exceed the upper limit of the floor's load-bearing capacity and cause the floor to collapse.

"Sir, please sign for it."

"Ah."

"Thank you, then we will take our leave. Looking forward to serving you again next time."

I don't look forward to it.

Watching the last batch of logistics guys leave.

Ji Zhuo looked at the cardboard boxes filled with books,
I sat down on a single cardboard box without a base.

Made, looking at the piles of books in this room, felt suffocated.

And here,
Or the result of his own roll.

Delwin Press publishes Seven Days of Hell and The Caged Bird,
I feel that "The Epic of the Empire" may affect the results of these two books,

So I want to order signed books for activities and publicity.

Burt Press is responsible for publishing the "Epic of Empires",
I feel that "Seven Days of Hell" and "The Bird in a Cage" are coming aggressively, and I am afraid that they will seize the attention of "Epic of Empires",
I also want to sign books for publicity and activities.

And then... Then Ji Zhuo became numb.

Fortunately, Ji Zhuo is also someone who has seen big winds and waves.
Isn't it just [-] copies, and it's not like it hasn't been signed.

Ji Zhuo raised his head,
Looking out of the half-blocked window,
It was almost dusk now.

Today's code word update was written and updated long before the logistics brother came to the door.

Now... what else is there to say?

Ji Zhuo first ordered a takeaway for dinner,
Then I buried it in the pile of books and began to write vigorously.

……

"...Brother, it is said that the overseas editions of "Seven Days of Hell" and "Hour Hand" are going to have an event. If you buy it now, you may get the signed edition of the author of the dog."

Under the gazebo, Ji Zhuo signed the tired book and went downstairs to rest.

The little fat pier was swiping his phone beside him, seeming very interested.

Ji Zhuo paused, then leaned against the pillars under the gazebo, yawned and said,
"Don't pursue such illusory things. The author's signature is a fart, and it doesn't affect the content and value of the book."

"If you want to sign a book, you can bring a book and a pen and I will fool you with two strokes. You can sign it as a dog author."

"How can it be the same? That's the author's signature! And who said it won't affect the value of the book."

"If the autographed book of the author of the dog is resold on Jingpin Tao, it can be sold for three to five times the price of the book. For example, some books with fewer signatures are more expensive. For example, before "Seven Days of Hell", there were only so many autographed books in total."

Little Pang Dun talked about this matter with Ji Zhuo enthusiastically,

"And the author of the dog is very conscientious. Not only is the autograph book signed, but also comes with a blessing. Although some blessings are repeated... But there are still people who specialize in collecting books with different blessings..."

Ji Zhuo was silent.

"The author of the dog signed a lot of books, right? After all, he signed ten to twenty thousand copies, right?"

"Yes, but the dog author has more readers. Proportionally, there may be only one person in hundreds of people who has a signed book by the dog author."

"And even fewer full autograph books from dog authors..."

Ji Zhuo became more silent when he heard the little fat man's words.

So, he still signed too few autographs?
... sooner or later the floor will collapse.

never mind,

Whatever, tired.

Anyway, I only signed so many, so let's do what I love.

"...so you also want to buy a signed book to resell?"

"Huh? Brother! Are you a loyal reader of the dog author? How can you resell a signed book by the dog author... If everyone is willing to take it out and resell it, the price will not rise so high! "

Hearing Ji Zhuo's words, Xiao Pangdun was unhappy, turned his head, and said to Ji Zhuo righteously.

Hey guys, it's kind of crazy.

But right after, the little fat pier turned his head away again,

"...Of course, if you can buy two copies, it's still okay to sell one... Then I'll raise the price by five or six times! Anyway, we're a seller's market!"

Hearing this, Ji Zhuo glanced at Xiaopangdun again, but said nothing.

Seeing the little fat man standing there, he sighed to himself again.

"Hey... It's a pity that most of the overseas editions of "Seven Days of Hell" are sold overseas. I can't buy them. I can't get some goods on Beijing Pintao. I don't have any money..."

Little Fatty sighed, then took out the bag of potato chips and opened them to eat.

Ji Zhuo also reached out his hand and grabbed it naturally.

Turning his head, he took out his mobile phone, opened Jingpintao, searched,

"Dog author autograph book."

""Seven Days of Hell", "The Bird in the Cage", "The Shepherd Boy Searching for the Immortal" and the dog author's autographed bookish and extraordinary autograph book..."

Then pop up products with similar keywords,

Ji Zhuo clicked in and took a look. It was a second-hand transaction, and there were reviews underneath.

"...Made, an unscrupulous merchant! It's not the autographed book of the real dog at all! I took another autographed book and compared the handwriting carefully, and it's not at all!"

Good guy, the fakes are all out,
Also, compare the handwriting... Then I must pay more attention to the signature of the book under the name of 'ABC' next time.

Ji Zhuo refreshed again,
Then I saw that the product was listed as discontinued.

Good guy.

As soon as he put the phone down, Ji Zhuo saw that the little chubby guy beside him was still holding the phone and typing excitedly, as if he was chatting in a group.

"Eating cakes will make you fat: Autographed book, autographed by the author, are you planning to buy the English version of "Seven Days of Hell"?

Canyon Grass: Friend?Mature, please?Just for this signed book, you have to buy the English version of "Seven Days of Hell" that you don't need at all?
The Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea: Yes, don't you feel childish?Just a signature, is there any extra value?No, it's really unnecessary.

Zeng Canghai: That is, be more mature, friends, don’t pursue such illusory things, spend money to buy this, it’s better to wait for the publication of the new book "Star Dream" by the author of the dog.

Eating cakes will make you fat: it seems a little naive..."

Looking at the news in the group, Xiaopangdun felt that it seemed to make sense.

What about signing the book, and does it affect the content of the novel?
He has read "Seven Days of Hell", why buy the English version!
Well, it makes sense.

"The Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea: Like me, it's not for some autograph to buy the English version of "Seven Days of Hell". We are all mature people. Can a dog author's autograph tempt me? A joke!
The Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea: I just want to buy all the editions of Qigou’s novels for collection. Hey, I don’t have any other hobbies, except for reading novels, that’s all.

Eating cakes will make you fat: ...

Grass in the canyon: ... No, why did you say what you said from the bottom of your heart.

Once upon a time:? ? ?Can you speak from the bottom of your heart?

The Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea: I treat people with sincerity, if I want to buy it, I just say so!It's not like you, who say whether to buy or not, but fight behind your back.

Eating cakes will make you fat:..."

Sure enough, he still doesn't understand the world of adults.

Maybe the intensity of web surfing is not enough.

Little Fatty thought.
