  Chapter 107 Continuous lottery draw and novel release

  "Considering the dark writing style of Buyehou, I am more inclined to this Jieyou grocery store. It is a mysterious killer organization. They can't solve problems in the conventional sense, but they can solve some people."

   "Poof!"

   "What a big brain hole."

   "The so-called Jieyou grocery store is a killer organization?"

   "Then the name of this killer organization is quite literary."

"After the killer kills the mission target, the employer's worries will be relieved, so Bu Yehou deliberately named the new book "The Grocery Store for Relief of Worry" to create such a strong sense of contrast. The title is confusing!"

  Someone in the Academy speculated.

  Bu Yehou's dark, repressed and perverted style of writing has been deeply ingrained in everyone's impression, but it won't be easily changed just because this guy once wrote such a story that doesn't seem so dark.

   And in the promotion of Nathan Bookstore.

Except for the introduction of the name of Buyehou's new work, there are no words about the specific content of the novel. Everyone can only diverge their imaginations based on the title, but no matter how they imagine, no one will really regard "Jieyou Grocery Store" as that kind of peaceful novel. The title is as warm as a healing novel.

impossible!

nonexistent!

  This time, readers who like Buyehou and readers who don't like Buyehou reached an extremely rare consensus.

at the same time.

  Everyone is indeed a little curious about Buyehou's new book. What does the title "Jieyou Grocery Store" mean?

   One time.

   The discussion was quite heated.

   And Lin Zhibai's home.

  At this time, Lin Zhibai was taking a shower and changing clothes.

It is so grand during the day, with a very ceremonial look, but the reason is actually very simple. Lin Zhibai is about to start a new round of lottery draws. The works drawn before are basically used up, and the ammunition depot must be replenished. .

   "Crimson!"

  Lin Zhibai is very heroic in summoning the system. As he gains more and more prestige now, his lottery drawing style is becoming more and more courageous:

   "I want five consecutive draws!"

  The moment the voice fell, a virtual big turntable appeared in front of Lin Zhibai's eyes. The big turntable was moving, and the pointer stopped again and again. Lin Zhibai also heard five consecutive system prompts!

   Ding Dong!

  【Congratulations to the host for getting the novel "Maliciousness"】

   Ding Dong!

  【Congratulations to the host for getting the novel "Secret"】

   Ding Dong!

  【Congratulations to the host for getting the TV script "Conquer"】

   Ding Dong!

  【Congratulations to the host for getting the TV script "The Temptation of Going Home"】

   Ding Dong!

  【Congratulations to the host for winning the variety show "If You Are the One"】

   The lottery draw is over.

This is Lin Zhibai's first five consecutive draws, mainly because customization is too expensive, so the function of lottery draws is very important, because lottery draws can often draw good things, such as the results of this lottery, Lin Zhibai is quite satisfied.

   First of all, "Malicious".

   This is one of Keigo Higashino's most popular works. The story uses a narrative trick writing method. You can never know the truth until you see the end!

  Tsk tsk...

   Narrative trickery!

Lin Zhibai now also understands the situation of Blue Star's novels. He knows that there is no narrative trick in this world. This book will become Blue Star's first novel about plot. Just read this novel to know.

   Followed by The Secret.

It is also a high-reputation work by Keigo Higashino. It mainly tells about the hero’s wife and daughter after a car accident. Although the wife died physically, her soul resided in the daughter’s body. From then on, the family began an extraordinary life. Unnatural narrative, mainly about The ethical choice between the male protagonist and the female protagonist, the daughter’s body is the wife’s soul, how should our male protagonist get along with the “daughter”?

   a bit perverted...

However, we have to admit that our Master Buyehou has a high degree of fit with the two works of Keigo Higashino, "Maliciousness" and "Secret", because in a sense, abnormality is one of the signature features of Buyehou. There is no sense of disobedience in writing such a novel!

And then.

   is the script of "Conquer"!

The male protagonist of this show is Liu Huaqiang. The classic saying "Are you familiar with melons?" has been widely spread on the Internet. The type of this TV series is actually a bit similar to "Hurricane". It is all about fighting bad guys, but many plots are from The perspective of the villain unfolds, and all kinds of grievances and grievances are revealed.

more importantly…

   Liu Huaqiang is also "Brother Qiang".

  Lin Zhibai suddenly had some expectations. If "Conquer" is filmed and broadcast, who is the real "strong brother" Gao Qiqiang or Liu Huaqiang?

  The fourth draw.

It's also a TV script called "The Temptation of Going Home". The quality of this script is definitely weaker than the previous ones, but the ratings are absolutely unbeatable. Although the blood is clichéd, it definitely meets the tastes of many viewers, especially the male protagonist in the play. Certain lines are very out of the loop:

   For example, "You are so flirtatious."

   Another example is "Why are you wearing Pinru's clothes" and so on, etc. Netizens in the previous life have created a bunch of Hong Shixian's emoji packs.

  The fifth draw.

   Variety show "If You Are the One"!

Although this variety show has fallen into controversy later on, such as the script, of course many variety shows have scripts, but I have to admit that this variety show was really popular in the first few years when it first came out. It is almost a phenomenon-level show watched by all people. The heat is definitely not low!

   "I'm feeling lucky."

  Lin Zhibai is very satisfied with the results of the five consecutive draws. Is it easier to produce miracles than single draws? Then next time, do you want to try six consecutive draws?

Can consider it.

  But the most important thing to consider at the moment is how to deal with these works.

  First of all, these two novels must wait for the popularity of "Jieyou Grocery Store" to be completely digested by the market before they can be released. The novels have to be released one by one if you want to eat one bite at a time and walk step by step.

   As for the script?

Lin Zhibai wants to give these two scripts to Tianguang and Nathan to shoot respectively. Although his father is a TV drama director, he can't keep him busy enough to shoot several dramas a year. He must have his own life, and Kunpeng Helping one's own family is too much attention, and it has to be a coincidence.

  The last variety show.

  Lin Zhibai hasn't thought about it yet. It's okay to give it to Tianguang, but it seems to be okay to give it to Haifeng Media. After all, he has a mind to provide a little help to Haifeng Media.

   "Think again."

  Lin Zhibai tapped his fingers on the table, making a rhythmic thud, this is his little habit when thinking about problems.

   Make a decision before moving.

  In the next few days, Lin Zhibai was not in a hurry to sell these works, but the release date of "Jieyou Grocery Store" is getting closer.

finally.

   Release day is coming.

   Today is April 10th.

   Many bookstores in Qinzhou have "Jieyou Grocery Store" on their shelves.

  Nathan Bookstore is still very powerful, which is why Lin Zhibai chose such a large publishing house.

  The bigger the company, the more powerful the channels.

  Partners can distribute the goods to major bookstores in Qinzhou.

  …

  Morning, eight o'clock.

  Tao Yanyan came to the bookstore to buy books as usual, and a novel called "Jieyou Grocery Store" on the bookshelf attracted Tao Yanyan's attention.

   "The title of the book sounds familiar..."

  Tao Yanyan thought for a while and suddenly remembered:

   Isn’t this the new book by Bu Yehou that many people have mentioned in the suspense and reasoning section of the academy recently?

  Tao Yanyan is a regular reader of "The History of Reasoning and Suspense", so she is no stranger to Bu Yehou, a newcomer writer.

  But Tao Yanyan doesn't like the style of Bu Yehou's novels.

  This author's works are too dark and depressing, with a perverted style of painting, so she usually skips them.

  Tao Yanyan was naturally not interested in meeting the other party's new book in the bookstore, but she was somewhat curious.

  Probably because there are often discussions in the Suspense and Reasoning section of the academy?

  The most important thing is that it is really difficult for Tao Yanyan to associate a title like "Jieyou Grocery Store" with the dark writing style of Bu Yehou.

   "Look at what is written."

  Tao Yanyan thought it was just to satisfy her own curiosity, she casually picked up a copy of "Jieyou Grocery Store" and flipped through it.

  The books in the bookstore are allowed for guests to look through.

  Usually the boss will deliberately take out a few unpacked books and put them out.

   This is the book in Tao Yanyan's hand.

  The opening content of the novel is very simple. It roughly tells the story of three thieves rushing out of a house in a hurry, and when they are about to escape, they suddenly find that their car has broken down.

no way.

  The three of them could only hide in a seemingly abandoned empty room, planning to leave at dawn.

   Who knew that a letter was thrown into the gap of the rolling shutter door at this time.

  The three thieves were frightened and rushed out of the house trying to find the person who delivered the letter, but the outside was empty.

what's the situation?

  The three thieves were in shock.

  The leader was called Dun Ye. He wanted to see what was written on the letter, so he opened it directly, and the three of them read it together.

  The writer claims to be a female athlete.

  The girl wanted to hit the Olympics, but her boyfriend was found to be terminally ill. She didn't know whether she should accompany her boyfriend through the last journey of her life, or continue to hit the Olympics...

   Painful, she hoped that Namiya's grocery store would give her advice.

  Namiya grocery store?

   The three thieves were a little confused, and then ransacked the abandoned house.

soon.

  The three of them searched out an old magazine from forty years ago, and found clues from it.

  It turns out that the room they are in now is the "Jieyou Grocery Store" that was so popular back then!

  The letter writer writes his heart into a letter and throws it through the rolling shutter door. The next day, the owner, Grandpa Namiya, will reply to the troublesome consultation and put it in the milk box next to the store.

I see…

  The three thieves figured out the reason, but then a bigger question came to mind.

  Why after decades, that grandpa Naniya has passed away, and this Jieyou grocery store has been abandoned, but someone still writes to me?

never mind.

  The three thieves didn't bother to think about it.

  Tao Yanyan couldn't help laughing when she saw this.

   So this is the origin of the title of "Jieyou Grocery Store"?

   I read what some people said on the forum before, that Jieyou grocery store may be a killer organization or something, it is really whimsical...

   Immediately after.

  Tao Yanyan became thoughtful.

  Although I only read the opening chapter of the novel, judging from the writing style, this novel seems to be different from Bu Yehou's previous works?

   Not dark.

   Not scary.

   Not suppressed.

   Maybe the ruthless goods are still behind?

  The front is just laying the groundwork?

  Tao Yanyan was a little confused, but she didn't put down the book and read along the text.

  The story continues.

   Just as Tun was about to go to bed, the two partners next to him suddenly said:

   "What about that girl?"

   "Will she choose to participate in the Olympics or accompany her boyfriend on the last journey of her life?"

  Dun is impatient anymore, the three of them are thieves, they want money, no money, education and no education, they go out to steal things in the middle of the night and the car breaks down, so they can only sleep in this crappy house overnight, how can they have time to worry about others?

  My friends don’t think so.

  The two thought: "No one will confide their troubles to people like us in this life. Why don't we seize this opportunity and write back to that girl?"

   Just do what you say.

   Soon, the two of them took out a pen and paper to reply to the letter. The suggestion was more idealistic, which probably meant "you can bring your boyfriend to train together"?

   Finish writing the letter.

  The two of them threw the letter into the milk crate outside according to the method introduced in the old magazine, but not long after putting it in, the two of them realized that something was wrong.

   "Forgot fingerprints!"

   They didn't wear gloves when they wrote the letter!

  Dun was also furious, how could he leave fingerprints?

  He scolded the two little friends for being nosy, and rushed out to get the letter out, but he was dumbfounded when he opened the milk box:

   It's empty inside!

  The letter disappeared just after putting it in?

  Dun was also puzzled, but saw two little friends coming out from inside with pale faces and said:

   "Sent another one."

  The three of them felt a little weird.

  There was no one around at night. How did the letter arrive and how did the reply disappear? Is this a supernatural event?

  The three quickly opened the letter.

   It is still the girl who wrote the letter just now!

  The girl said that she couldn’t bring her boyfriend with her for training, because her boyfriend can only receive treatment in the hospital…

  The girl is still feeling:

  It would be great if there was a video phone like in the comics. I can make this kind of video call with him when I am training.

ha?

  The three of them were stunned!

  What is the videophone in comics?

   Does this girl know that mobile phones can make video calls?

  The three of them felt that something was wrong, so they wrote back again and asked some tentative questions, only to be shocked to find that this girl claimed to be someone who lived around the 1970s!

  The letter traveled through time and space?

   They're corresponding with people from the seventies! ?

  Equally confused, there is Tao Yanyan who is reading a book. She didn't expect that "Jieyou Grocery Store" turned out to be such a fantasy setting!

   "Space-time dialogue?"

  This is just the plot of the first chapter of the novel. Judging from this development, Bu Yehou's new book is really not the dark horror genre he is best at.

   "It's interesting."

  Tao Yanyan's interest was aroused.

  She came to the bookstore to buy books today. In fact, she didn't have any specific goals. She just wanted to double the latest new books and buy whichever beginning she was interested in.

   And now.

  Tao Yanyan found her goal.

   Just buy this new book by Bu Yehou

  It’s true that Tao Yanyan doesn’t like the style of Bu Yehou, but this book is not the usual style of Bu Yehou. This writer who is good at dark thrillers seems to have the intention of transformation. The fantasy unfolding at the beginning of the new book is very interesting!

   "The book, checkout!"

  Tao Yanyan bought "Jieyou Grocery Store" and went straight home. She has nothing to do today, so she can read it slowly.

  —————

  ps: Notice in advance, the next chapter will mainly write the content of "Jieyou Grocery Store".
