Ning Xia, who worked decisively and was respectfully called "Lord Ning" by industry insiders, returned to her high school days overnight.

Her mother, who had suffered from illness and...

Chapter 7: Crazy Amway

There is no monthly ticket ranking now, so if you want to find a book, you can only look for it on the new book list and bestseller list.

This was also Fu Bo's biggest annoyance. He had already read all the novels ranked in the top dozens on the bestseller list. He scratched his head in frustration and finally clicked on the new book list with no choice.

If I want to find a book now, I can only look at the new books on the new book list to see if there is anything I am interested in.

In the past, Fu Bo hated looking for books on the new book list the most.

The new book list, as the name suggests, consists of books that have been newly published but not yet on the shelves. The reasons why they are not on the shelves are either because of poor quality or too few words. Moreover, the quality of novels varies greatly, not to mention that some novels have only updated a few chapters.

It's not even enough to fill his teeth.

As he was paddling, a novel called "Ghost Lights the Lamp" caught Fu Bo's sight.

Although Fu Bo rarely read ghost stories before, isn’t this a book shortage? Compared with other types of novels, supernatural novels are acceptable to read.

At this time, Fu Bo was still thinking that if the novel was really badly written, he could just look for another one.

As expected, there were only a few comments when he clicked in. However, looking at these comments, Fu Bo raised an eyebrow. A new book with only a few thousand words and without exception, all of them were positive reviews?

Brush it!

This was Fu Bo’s first feeling after seeing these all-praising comments.

Although he was skeptical, Fu Bo still clicked on it.

After all, it's only a few thousand words and it won't take long to read. If the novel is really bad, the first bad review will definitely come from him.

Fu Bo likes reading novels and writing reviews even more.

If a novel is really good, he will definitely not hesitate to praise it, but if it is very bad, Fu Bo will not show mercy either.

But what Fu Bo didn't expect was that once he entered, he couldn't get out.

At this moment, Fu Bo saw the paper man that the protagonist bought suddenly come to life. He was staring at the screen and was frightened by the author's writing style. He felt a chill down his spine.

"Bang."

Fu Bo, who was already looking tense, was frightened by the sudden noise and shivered.

I looked up in the direction of the sound.

At this moment, under the dim light of the corridor, there seemed to be a person standing vaguely.

His skin looked extremely pale under the light, and his face was expressionless.

At this moment, Fu Bo was reminded of the paper-made figurine written in the book.

In this pitch-black environment, Fu Bo's senses were magnified several times, and he was so scared that he almost threw his computer away.

He swallowed and said, "Who...who?"

There was no way. The dormitory was pitch black at this time. There was only a little light coming through the window on the door, and I couldn’t see anything at all.

"Squeak"

At this moment, the dormitory door was suddenly pushed open.

"How wicked! They actually let the things go."

Hearing this familiar voice, Fu Bo took a deep breath.

It turned out that the roommate had come back from the toilet and accidentally kicked the plastic basin placed in the corridor. He breathed a sigh of relief, but then he realized that he was so scared that he got goose bumps all over his body.

"Fu Bo, what are you doing? You sound wrong. What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Fu Bo had never felt so timid before. He was so scared that he didn't dare to continue watching.

But if I don’t watch it, I feel itchy and scratching my head. When I heard my roommate ask this, I immediately had an idea.

With a smug look on his face, he said, "Come on, Brother Ming, I found a really good novel, let's read it together."

Although Liu Ming is not an old book fan, he has the habit of reading novels.

"Are you reading some ghost story? Look how scared you are!"

Liu Ming was not sleepy, so he agreed immediately.

He also wanted to see what kind of novel could scare his roommate Fu Bo so much.

At the beginning, the two of them would discuss from time to time, but later they were both attracted by the content of the novel and no one spoke.

When Liu Ming saw Wang Ergangzi grab the rat and throw it into the boiling pot of water, he was so angry that he gritted his teeth and said, "This guy is such a jerk! This is a lucky rat, and he just boiled it like that?!"

"If it were me, I would kill him."

When I turned the page again, I found that the novel ended here!

"Damn! This author is such a jerk! He actually ended the story right here, leaving us on a suspenseful suspense!"

"Is this rat brother dead or not?"

"This rat has become a spirit. It should... shouldn't be that easy to kill."

Although Fu Bo said this, he was not quite sure.

"It looks good, but it's a little scary." Liu Ming said.

There was no way around it. Neither of them had ever read any ghost stories, so it was understandable that they were scared.

Moreover, in this world, horror novels are still a niche genre, and tomb-raiding themes are even more blank.

"By the way, Fu Bo, what kind of novel is this? Why haven't I seen it before?"

Liu Ming's words finally brought Fu Bo back to his senses.

Not to mention his roommate, even he, who considered himself an old book fan, was seeing this subject for the first time.

Horror theme? That doesn’t seem quite right either.

After adding the novel to his bookshelf, Fu Bo opened the novel introduction page and continued:

"The classification label given by the author is... tomb-raiding novel?"

"What's the name of this book? Let me search it too." As he spoke, Liu Ming had already walked towards his computer.

"'Ghost Lights Up the Lantern', the author's name is... eh?"

"What's wrong?"

Fu Bo didn't expect the author to be a girl, and was a little surprised, "And a... female writer?"

If the author is a man, he should be called "landlord" instead of "landlady".

In the past, Fu Bo always referred to online novel writers as authors, not writers.

Just from the simple name, you can tell how much Fu Bo likes this book.

At this time, Liu Ming also found this book and clicked on the collection without hesitation. When he saw the word "Landlady" in the author column, he was also surprised.

"Hey, it really is."

When he was reading the novel, he had no idea that the author was a girl.

No pretentiousness, no procrastination.

"What are you two doing up in the middle of the night, making such a fuss?"

The noises of the two still woke up their roommates. They looked at each other and Fu Bo immediately greeted them excitedly.

"Why are you sleeping? Wake up and read you a super, super good novel."

Fu Bo thought maliciously, how could he be the only one who was scared? Good brothers should share happiness.

Seeing that Liu Ming had fooled his roommates, the quiet dormitory suddenly became lively.

Fu Bo raised an eyebrow at Liu Ming, and the two exchanged a look and smiled unkindly: "I'll go to the book club and recommend it to everyone."

"Oh right! There's also Tieba."

"good."

Fu Bo is a well-known forum moderator. He usually recommends novels he likes to everyone.

He was so excited that he didn't care whether it was the middle of the night or not, and started operating immediately.

Fu Bo has seen good novels being buried because the author is a newcomer and has no reader base.

Even if they signed contracts and became popular later, only a few of them did, and the author chose to hastily complete the book due to poor performance.

Only then did Fu Bo understand why the novel "Ghost Lighting the Lamp" was filled with praise.

If such a good novel were to be buried like this, it would be a waste of talent.
