Chapter 510

This situation, she really saw for the first time.

This can no longer be described as "not bad"; it is simply a phenomenal start!

She couldn't help but have huge curiosity about that mysterious author "Sanchin Li".

Being able to write such a book, it can basically be confirmed that one book is enough for financial freedom.

It's really enviable to the extreme.

Uda Ayaka saw this scene completely.

In her ears were the real inquiries of customers, and before her eyes were the empty bookshelves.

Facts speak louder than any eloquence.

Xia Xia Xia Mujun's book is not "possibly" going to be popular.

But it has already exploded on the first day with a violent posture!

An extremely strong, sour feeling mixed with shock, jealousy, regret, and unwillingness, like old vinegar, instantly soaked her heart.

So sour that her teeth were itching!

She and the editor-in-chief and group leader did indeed look favorably upon this book and predicted it would become a bestseller.

But in their most optimistic estimates, it would take a few days for the first edition to sell out.

But now?

Only one morning!

In one of the most important stores, it declared inventory cleared!

This sales speed, this market heat, far exceeded their boldest imagination!

Ah ah ah ah ah ah—!!!

This novel... this novel destined to shine and have amazing performance...

And this talented, outstanding-looking Xia Xia Xia Mujun in front of her, who seems to carry his own halo...

Originally... originally they should all have been mine!!!

If time could turn back, to the day Xia Xia Xia Mujun first walked into the editorial department...

She would definitely use every means, even if it seemed unreasonable, to snatch him from that good-natured Gao Gao Qiaochun!

Whether it's fooling or promising, she must firmly bind him to her side!

The huge "sense of loss" made her chest feel stuffy.

And at this moment.

Gao Gao Qiaochun, who had calmed down a bit from the ecstasy, had already impatiently turned to Xia Xia Xia Mujun.

His face was filled with uncontrollable excitement and agitation, his voice trembling slightly because of his high emotions:

"Teacher Xia! Did you hear that?! Did you see that?!"

He pointed to the empty bookshelf and then to the customers who were handling pre-order procedures at the service desk.

"Your book! It sold out in the morning! Now there are readers actively pre-ordering!!"

"I... I have worked for so many years, brought many new authors, and seen many new books on the market..."

His tone was filled with unbelievable emotion.

"But I have never seen any new author's new book appear with such a grand occasion on the first day of listing!"

"Teacher Xia! Your 'The Devotion of Suspect X' is really going to explode! It's going to be a huge hit!!"

Xin Xin Yuanxiangzhi on the side was also flushed with excitement, nodding in agreement:

"Yes, Teacher Xia!"

"Currently, your book is only distributed in ten selected bookstores for the first round of testing the market."

"According to my experience, sales data between different bookstores may vary, but usually it won't be particularly outrageous, and the biggest gap is between 20% and 30%."

"Shimizu Bookstore, as the main store, is usually one of the best indicators of sales."

He clenched his fists hard.

"Since it can sell out here in the morning, the situation in the other nine bookstores will definitely not be bad either!"

"It's very likely that they have also sold out, or are on the verge of selling out!"

Gao Gao Qiaochun excitedly took over the conversation, his tone extremely certain:

"Yes! Xin Yuan-kun is right!"

"Teacher Xia, I dare to guarantee!"

"Tonight, after the company receives the sales data feedback from all cooperative bookstores..."

"The editorial department will definitely hold a meeting overnight!"

"And then immediately notify the printing factory to work overtime and start the emergency reprinting procedure!"

"And the quantity of this reprinting..."

He stretched out five fingers and shook them hard in front of Xia Xia Xia Mujun.

"At least it will definitely be more than five times the quantity of the first edition! I dare to be sure!"

He took a deep breath, trying to make his judgment sound more authoritative.

"You have to know, in the new book listing stage, a new author's work that can achieve the achievement of 'sold out on the day' is rare in the annual records of the entire publishing industry, and one might not appear in ten years!"

"What's more, the first edition quantity of your novel itself far exceeds the standard of ordinary new authors!"

"This further shows that the market potential of your book is explosive! It's top-notch!"

"The degree of its popularity might even be no less than the new works of many famous great authors!"

Xin Xin Yuanxiangzhi added excitedly, trying to analyze from another angle:

"And, the reason why the new works of great authors sell well is largely because they have accumulated years of reader base and brand appeal."

"Their fans often buy because of the 'author's name' and may not necessarily look at the quality of the book carefully."

"But you are different, Teacher Xia!"

"You are a pure newcomer, without any reader base."

"There is only one reason why your book can sell so well—"

He said decisively.

"It's because the quality of the book itself is too outstanding!"

"It completely conquered the first batch of readers by its own charm, and then spread rapidly through word of mouth!"

Xia Xia Xia Mujun listened to the analysis and congratulations of the two editors who were excited.

A solid and warm sense of relief, like a spring stream, slowly flowed through his heart.

"Great."

He said softly, the arc of his mouth gentle and true.

Such a result seems to be even better than the best situation he expected.

Originally, he thought that with the quality of his previous life, it would be no problem to sell out within a week.

But to be in a state of emergency on the first morning... this heat indeed exceeded expectations.

It seems that in addition to the solid quality of the novel itself, perhaps... the effect of the "literary accessory" gifted by Yukimura Suzune, which "makes the novel content slightly vividly appear in the reader's mind," also played a role in pushing the waves.

Allowing the already excellent "The Devotion of Suspect X" to reach its first batch of soulmates faster.

This is truly a beautiful start!

This means that subsequent royalty income will be quite considerable.

He and his sister Ruri can finally say goodbye to the poor life of calculating every yen and worrying about tuition and rent in the past.

Tuition, food, clothing, housing, transportation, future planning...

These boulders that once pressed heavily on his shoulders can finally see the dawn of being completely removed.

The female clerk on the side, and Uda Ayaka, were both staring at the clean and slightly relieved smile from the heart on Xia Xia Xia Mujun's face.

That smile was like the first ray of sunlight piercing through the clouds after a heavy rain.

Clear, warm, and full of power to infect people.

The female clerk who just noticed Xia Xia Xia Mujun's heartbeat couldn't help but miss a beat.

And Uda Ayaka was even more dazzled, and the regret and sourness of "missing a treasure" in her heart were instantly magnified to the extreme.

Just then.

That female clerk who had always felt Xia Xia Xia Mujun looked very familiar finally overlapped this overly handsome face in front of her with someone in her memory!

She covered her mouth sharply and let out a short exclamation!

Her eyes were wide, and her face was filled with disbelief.
