Chapter 10 Fire
The next day, Zuo Xiaoyou's new book was officially launched on sale. At noon, Kagurazaka Kasu called: "Teacher Zuo, congratulations, the new book is so popular, and one book is the god."
In the classroom, Zuo Xiaoyou ate the bento and asked, "How many have you sold?"
"In one morning, 46,000 copies have been sold." Kagurazaka Kamatsu's tone was very excited: "Although it includes pre-sales, this result is the highest half-day sales in the electric shock library this year. Congratulations, teacher, if everything goes well, the sales volume of the first volume of the new book may exceed 500,000 copies, and the second printing has been confirmed."
Zuo Xiaoyou showed a happy smile: "I didn't expect the grades to be so good. Miss Kagurazaka, thank you for your support all the time, otherwise the new book would never have such good results."
"Where is it, everything is what I do, I just did what I should do."
After a series of commercial hypes, Kagurasaka Kamasu said: "Teacher, it is rare that the new book is so good. Should I do a signing event?"
"Well, I'll consider it."
"Please be sure to agree. If possible, what about next Saturday? The location is Akihabara." Kagurasaka Kasumi asked seriously.
After a moment of silence, Zuo Xiaoyou said, "Okay, I agree."
Kagurasaka Kamasu said excitedly: "It's great. I'll leave the preparations for the signing. Teacher Zuo just needs to prepare for the appearance that day. Let's talk about the details again and we won't disturb Teacher Zuo."
"Where, then goodbye."
Hang up the phone.
"Zuo Jun, congratulations!" Kato Hui had a smile on her eyebrows: "Although I don't understand very much, the writers who can sign for sale are all very popular! Congratulations."
"Thank you." Zuo Xiaoyou nodded with a smile: "I didn't expect the sales results of the new book to be so good on the first day. Well, should I hold a celebration party?"
"Isn't that great?" Kato Eki smiled and said, "I believe it will be very lively to celebrate with my family and friends."
"That's right." Zuo Xiaoyou nodded, looked at Kei Kato and smiled, "Then Kato, I'm officially invited you to attend the celebration held at my house. Please be sure to come."
"Hey? Is that OK?" Kato Eki was a little surprised: "Do I need to prepare a gift?"
"It's good as long as the person arrives." Zuo Xiaoyou smiled and said, "I'll prepare all these." He paused: "Tomorrow is Saturday, so let's do it! It's all tomorrow's noon. In addition to Kato, I will also invite Renya, Senior Sister Kasuki and Eriri to participate."
"Hey? In this case, it's like I was in a coffee shop yesterday!" Kato Kei said.
"It's still different." Shaking my head: "In addition to these people, I will also invite a neighbor to participate. My neighbor is also a light novel writer and a top author in the light novel industry. I will introduce you to you when the time comes."
"I always think Zuo Jun is very powerful! I know all the people that are so powerful." Kato Kei seemed a little envious.
"Think about it carefully, they are all not simple characters." Zuo Xiaoyou picked up a piece of fried pork chop from Kato Eki's bento box and said, "Even Lun, who seems to be the most inconspicuous, is a well-known second-dimensional blogger, and has a great influence in the industry."
"Hey? Isn't it me the most inconspicuous one?" Kato Kei.
"That's not the case." Zuo Xiaoyou shook his head and said, "Kato, you just didn't realize your charm. In my eyes, you are more dazzling than Senior Sister Kasuki and Eriri. You are the one I dream of getting married."
"Hey? Although I don't understand very well, did I confess to Zuo Jun?" Although Kato Kei was surprised, his expression was as calm as ever. This attribute of not showing his emotions is too powerful.
"How do you say it!" Zuo Xiaoyou said: "I remember that I said it at the opening ceremony! Women like Senior Sister Kazuki will inevitably have troubles because they are too charming, and Eriri is the same. But it was very surprising..." Eyes looked at Kato's face and said: "Kato, you are a very beautiful girl with hidden attributes. If you think about it carefully, if you can marry you into the house in the future, it will not only satisfy my pursuit of a beautiful wife, but also not worrying about being missed by too many men, so that it will cause troubles. It is simply perfect."
He paused: "After that being said, Kato, how powerful are your female power?"
"Well, it's okay!" Kato Eki's expression changed a little, and she seemed a little shy: "Does Zuo Jun really want to pursue me? After all, I'm so inconspicuous than you, Senior Sister Kasuji and Eriri."
"Kato, I said it! If you are a marriage partner, you are much better than Senior Sister Kasuki and Eriri." Zuo Xiaoyou looked into her eyes and said, "And although we only knew each other for two days, when we were with you, I made me very relaxed and comfortable. If possible, I really hope to pursue you on the premise of getting married."
He paused: "But we only knew each other for two days, and this kind of thing is a bit too sudden for you and me, so I think we can continue to contact each other. If we feel good about each other after a while, then I will officially make a request for you to date. What do you mean by Kato?"
"Um...yes!" Kato Eki slightly lowered his eyes and said, "Zuo Jun is still rational as always!"
"Marriage is a big deal, how can it be a joke?" Zuo Xiaoyou said, "But Kato, don't be stressed. After all, feelings are mutual. Even if I really like what you like for a long time, I will die. But if you don't like me, I won't force it." Speaking of this, he turned his head and looked out the window and sighed, "After all, you will not be happy."
Kei Kato looked at him and whispered: "Well, that's right!"
After lunch, Zuo Xiaoyou opened the WeChat group. This group was just established yesterday, including him, An Yilun, Kasunoki Shiha, Eriri and Kato Ei.
Yesterday, after he also questioned An Yilun, although An Yilun was shocked, he finally expressed his determination: "I want to make a game that makes everyone excited. I want everyone to recognize Kato's charm! No matter how difficult the actual conditions are, I will never give up!"
Although it was just some seemingly empty words and had no substantial content, everyone present felt his determination, so Zuo Xiaoyou did not make things difficult for him, but only proposed some prerequisites needed to make the game, which An Yilun needed to solve by himself. Only after it was solved and recognized by everyone can the game be made on the agenda.
His suggestions were all practical things, including Shiyu Kasumi and Eriri, who were very grateful to An Yilun. So in order for the five people to contact at any time in the future, An Yilun also established this WeChat group, and all five people joined this group.
I thought this group would be idle for a long time, and even if it was used, it was a topic related to the game. I didn’t expect that the first topic was his new book sales celebration.
"Celebration meeting?" Shiyu Xiazhiqiu on the rooftop, Yingliri in the atrium, and An Yilun in the toilet also saw Zuo Xiaoyou's invitation to celebrate the celebration meeting posted by him in the group and replied one after another.
An Yilun also: "Teacher Zuo’s new book sales celebration! Well, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
Shiyu Xiazhiqiu: "As a senior, I agreed to the first invitation."
Hideri Sawamura: "I will arrive on time."
Kato Ekima: "Don't you really need to bring a gift?"
Zuo Xiaoyou: "It's enough to bring your stomach. I will cook myself and prepare a gorgeous Chinese food. Please stay tuned."
An Yilun also: "Well, oh, oh, oh, oh, I will definitely be looking forward to the Chinese food prepared by Teacher Zuo himself!"
Shiyu Xiazhiqiu: "Ah, I didn't expect that the younger generation is very powerful! I will definitely be a good wife in the future."
Zuo Xiaoyou: "No, no matter what, I am also a man."
Shiyu Xiazhiqiu: "In front of me, you can be a woman, and I will teach you well."
Yinglili: "Oh~~so dirty!"
Zuo Xiaoyou: "..."
...
When he returned home from school in the afternoon, Zuo Xiaoyou was preparing for supper. The Yamada goblin dressed in Gothic Loli costume came uninvited.
"You came here by smelling the smell, right?" Zuo Xiaoyou couldn't help but complain. As long as he was preparing to cook these days, the Yamada Fairy would definitely arrive on time. I really don't know if she is a dog-sniff?
"Silly servant, it is your honor to come in person." Yamada's fairy's middle school aura burst out again.
Zuo Xiaoyou glanced at her expressionlessly, picked up the kitchen knife and cut vegetables silently.
"Go!" Seeing Zuo Xiaoyou ignored her, it was boring to play with her alone, so she simply threw herself on the sofa and started playing PSP games.
Half an hour later, Zuo Xiaoyou took off his apron, held the tray of Samu and said, "Stop playing, go wash your hands."
"I understand, I'll finish this game." Yamada's fairy pressed the button with both hands: "Treasure! Treasure! My Treasure!"
“…”
Second floor.
Zuo Xiaoyou knocked on the door: "Sawu, supper is ready."
The door opened, and Sagu looked dissatisfied and said, "Brother, why is she here again?"
"If you promised to draw illustrations for her, she wouldn't come over to entangle every day." Zuo Xiaoyou said helplessly: "Yamada Goblin is a top writer in the light novel industry. Why don't you want to draw illustrations for her?"
"Because I want to draw for my brother." Sagi let Zuo Xiaoyou in: "I don't want to draw illustrations for anyone's works except my brother."
Zuo Xiaoyou felt warm and said with emotion: "Sawu, thank you. But I don't want to limit your choice because of myself. I hope you can have a better and broader choice."
"..." Sagiri sat at the table and said, "I'm hungry."
"Eat quickly!" Put the tray on the table, Zuo Xiaoyou said, "I'll go down to entertain the Yamada fairy first, just put the bowls and chopsticks in front of the door after eating."
"……Um."
...
Downstairs, Zuo Xiaoyou and Yamada Goblin were having supper face to face. Yamada Goblin was eating big mouthfuls while complaining: "How many times have you said, don't cook too greasy supper, I've been fat these days."
Zuo Xiaoyou said lightly: "Green tea is greasy, but you always drink the black tea you bring, who can you blame?"
"Hmph!" The Yamada Grim said nothing.
"By the way." Zuo Xiaoyou said: "Tomorrow, at noon, the celebration party for a big sale of new books will be held at my house. I have invited a few classmates to attend. You can come too!"
"Okay!" Yamada geeks love the most, but still asked curiously: "Have the sales statistics been released today?"
"Yes." Zuo Xiaoyou nodded: "Miss Kagurazaka sent a text message not long ago, and the sales of the new book today are more than 76,000 copies."
"More than 76,000!" Yamada's goblin was shocked: "So many!"
"I didn't expect it to be sold so well," Zuo Xiaoyou smiled and said, "But it's thanks to Teacher Yamada's recommendation."
This morning, a message was updated on Yamada Goblin's personal blog. The content was very simple, which was his new book picture and four words: "I bought it."
Yamada Goblin is a first-line light novel writer with a cumulative sales of more than 2.2 million copies of the new work, and is also the new light novel king of his own publishing house. The number of fans has exceeded 500,000. Although it cannot be compared with the millions and tens of millions of Song Dynasty, it is already a very amazing number of fans in Japan. If it is placed in Song Dynasty, this number must be multiplied by at least 20.
Yamada Goblin advertises Zuo Xiaoyou on his private blog. Even if it can only affect one-tenth of its fans, it can still bring about 50,000 sales to Zuo Xiaoyou. Today is just the first day, and maybe thousands of copies were purchased by Yamada Goblin fans. Zuo Xiaoyou was still very moved when he saw this news when he was browsing his blog at noon today.
Although Yamada Goblin is a middle-aged man with a bad temper, he is really a kind girl with loyalty.
"You know!" Yamada's fairy waved her hand: "I just bought the new book I want to read, so I will post a blog to share with my servants. Don't get me wrong."
"No, I just simply thank Teacher Yamada for the recommendation." Zuo Xiaoyou said: "But then again, you have eaten so much rice at my house. If you post a blog to recommend it, it will be a reward."
"This is really unpleasant!" The Yamada Fairy glared at him fiercely.
"Anyway, Yamada doesn't need my reward." Hold a piece of braised pork into Yamada's goblin bowl: "Eat more."
The Yamada fairy was cloudy and sunny, and said arrogantly: "I am in a good mood today, so I will accept the offerings from my servant this time."
"If you are not second place, you will still be a very attractive woman." Zuo Xiaoyou said.
"You have to worry about it, verbose."
...
After dinner, the Yamada Fairy played games here for a while and did not go home until ten o'clock in the evening. After seeing off the Yamada Fairy, Zuo Xiaoyou went to put the bath water upstairs and knocked on the door of Sagiri's house: "Sagiri, the bath water is ready, do you want to take a bath?"
"For the sake of the matter, why do you need to take a bath with your brother?" Samu's panicked scream came from the room.
"It's not that you take a bath with me, but that you want to take a bath." Zuo Xiaoyou explained helplessly: "Samu, you haven't taken a bath for a long time! It's rare that you can meet and communicate with me normally, so make some improvements!"
Chapter completed!
