287 ? The eleventh store

287 The eleventh store

◎Popcorn literature is online. ◎

Lu Yao said while tidying up the table: "Ginseng is a great tonic, but you can't eat it every day. Even if you eat rice for a long time, you want to change it up. After opening the live broadcast room, our customers are no longer limited to prisoners and jailers on Guandao Island, but also native humans and cyborgs, and perhaps other races. With more customers, their tastes are different, so naturally we should add some menus."

The Dream-fulfilling System has been with the store owner for a long time, and it is no longer the same old fool. It only takes a little thought to understand.

"So what kind of novels do you plan to put on the shelves?"

Lu Yao: "Sweet cookies, fairy tales, urban life, suspense and reasoning... It doesn't matter what the subject matter is, pick a few fine works first and put them on the shelves live tomorrow."

The Dream-making System was a little surprised: "I didn't think you would choose romance novels first."

Everyone helped Lu Yao investigate the data. The kinship between people in this star field is very weak, and there is almost no emotion to speak of. It seems that the whole society only needs working machines with outstanding capabilities and does not need extra emotions.

And love, an emotion with extremely strong limitations, disappeared along with the original bodies abandoned by humans as early as the stage when mechanical bodies gradually became popular.

Mechanical bodies have no hormones, and the development of gene screening technology has made the appeal of natural appearance gradually weakened. As all sensory thresholds are constantly raised, the way people understand each other is direct and fast, and something as delicate as love has no soil to germinate.

Lu Yao obviously heard the implication of Tong: "Rare doesn't mean there is no market. How do you know if they like it if you don't try?"

The Dream Fulfilling System hesitated: "Is it possible that feelings similar to love have been deliberately 'evolved' in this world?"

Lu Yao thought for a moment and nodded: "It's not impossible."

The Dream Fulfilling System: "Then... aren't we doing a bad thing by promoting sweets?"

Lu Yao: "If that's the case, we may make a lot of money by promoting sweets."

The Dream Fulfilling System: "..."

It will never understand the store owner's train of thought.

Lu Yao lowered his head and began to read the novels at hand.

These are all online novels recommended by the store clerks in the shopping street. They have been sent to the store for more than ten days.

After being voted and screened by the clerks, only these twenty books are left to be sent to the store owner.

Lu Yao was too busy some time ago, and was afraid that he would not have time to go through the procedures when he needed them. The publishing copyrights of the more than 20 books that were initially screened have all been negotiated, the contracts have been signed, and the payment has been settled . What

Lu Yao is struggling with now is which books to put on the shelves first.

The ones recommended by the store staff are all their favorites, and then they voted and screened again. In fact, the ones left are all high-quality online novels.

It’s just that as everyone said, the history and humanities of the world where Guandao is located and the world where Luguang City is located are very different. When choosing new types of books, you still need to consider the cultural background to some extent.

Lu Yao had prepared to work hard all night, but he underestimated the fun of online literature. Compared with serious literature, it may not be as deep, but it is easy and enjoyable to read, and the fatigue brought by the heavy work in recent days has been swept away.

When the day was about to dawn, Lu Yao pointed at several sets of new books that were hurriedly printed, and slowly exhaled: "Popcorn literature is about to invade!"

---

On the night when the owner was conscientiously planning to set off a popcorn literature craze, the entry about "Guandao District 8 New Store" had already rushed to the top of the Star Network's high-frequency search list, followed by "bookstore live broadcast screen recording" and "bookstore unboxing flag removal".

The fuse of the incident was among the customers who received the bookstore package that day.

Nearly half of the customers who placed orders on the first day uploaded the unboxing video of the bookstore package on the Star Network, and attached a holographic screen recording of the store owner live-streaming the packing. After several comparisons, the result is that the

bookstore newly settled in the eighth district of Guandao is quite capable. The package received by the customer is confirmed to be the same as the package packed by the store owner in the live broadcast room. From this, it can be confirmed that this is the first online store that actually ships from Guandao.

The live broadcast screen recording and the unboxing video are both holographic perspectives. Netizens can freely review and analyze the details of the packages in the two videos from any perspective of the video, leaving no room for fraud.

Guandao's popularity, which had been exhausted by the weird resident merchants, has been pushed higher and higher by this small wave of tap water, and it seems to be setting off the entire network.

After watching the comparison video shared by others, someone excitedly went to the bookstore's live broadcast room, but it didn't start broadcasting. Even the previous recorded broadcasts were not played. The entire live broadcast room was dark, exuding a sense of tranquility that was incompatible with the current popularity.

Netizens who had nowhere to vent their enthusiasm went to the comment area of ​​the first package comparison video and kept pouring out their excessive curiosity——

[What are books, anyway? I went to the live broadcast room after watching the comparison video, but it didn't start broadcasting. A search on the entire network found no other related stores except for the new store opened by Guandao. ]

[Yes, what are books? I watched several unboxing videos shared by star owners. The price of a book is not cheap, just like a money grab. 】

【In reply to the above, the owner of the bookstore said that books are carriers of words, containers of thoughts, spiritual food, and substitutes for the brain. But I haven’t bought any, so I don’t know if it’s that amazing. 】

Under this answer, the star owner who shared the video replied: It’s absolutely not an exaggeration, books are good things, and you will never regret buying them.

Later, more and more Star Network users who received the goods followed up with replies below——

【It took a day to read all the books, and I felt lost. I just finished eating the snacks sent by the owner, and now I feel so empty. 】

【I regret buying too little. Even if I bought one more book, tonight wouldn’t be so unbearable. 】

【She also stopped broadcasting! Obviously, she doesn’t care much about the live broadcast room. There are book friends taking care of it. How can she stop broadcasting!!! I finished reading those books in the afternoon, and waited for a long time, but the broadcast didn’t start. 】

Kuandao’s live broadcast room is different from ordinary live broadcast rooms. Due to the restrictions of security and confidentiality agreements, Star Network users can only place orders online when the live broadcast room is on.

Once the live broadcast room is stopped, users cannot place orders.

[I decided to buy that book "Floating" tomorrow! ! ! ]

...

Various discussions floated on the homepage. Some people began to be interested in the bookstore, and some people questioned it - it was too exaggerated, and everyone was like a yes-man. Maybe they were infected with some electronic virus and their brains were invaded.

...

Kuandao, the office of the Eighth District Management Office.

0815 was standing in front of the director's office, reporting the owner's request to Kiran.

The owner's thoughts jumped too much, and 0815 was numb. Facing Director Kiran's indifferent gaze, he repeated with a stiff upper lip: "The owner said she needs three quotas to go to the island, but they are not fixed staff. These three staff only work at night. Secondly, three staff are needed to work during the day. There is no need to transfer people from outside the island. Robots or prisoners on the island will be fine. If we are willing to accept the proposal of prisoners to work in the bookstore, she said that the job can be distributed in the form of recruiting volunteers, allowing prisoners to apply on their own, and changing people every week. The bookstore will provide labor subsidies that meet the standards of the Ninth District."

Kiran did not answer immediately, and his metal fingers tapped on the table, making a crisp sound.

He had never met the native shop owner in person, and thought that this cooperation would end faster than before, but he never expected that he would be greeted with wave after wave of surprises.

0815 Iron Mask showed no expression, and his heart was already anxious.

The shop owner had a lot of ideas, and he always stepped on the line, making their District 8 more and more like an auxiliary department of the bookstore.

And this time the shop owner only talked to him about the requirements, and didn't seem to mention the benefits.

With Director Jilan's personality, it is impossible for him to let it go every time.

Director Jilan's silence at this time did not seem to be considering the feasibility of the plan, but more like thinking about how to crack down on the shop owner who was becoming more and more unfriendly.

0815's star ring suddenly jumped, and a colleague shared a real-time message.

He didn't dare to click it to see it.

Jilan, who was sitting at the table, lowered his head and clicked on his own star ring.

There were several popular video messages on the suspended light screen. Jilan paused for a moment before clicking on them.

About five minutes later, Jilan turned off the suspended light screen and looked up at 0815: "Proceed according to her requirements. As for the plan for volunteer screening, ask her if there are any specific conditions."

0815 left the director's office in confusion, and his colleagues had not left yet.

0877 immediately asked: "Did the director agree?"

0815 nodded, still with confusion in his tone: "I don't know what's going on."

0877 was surprised: "Haven't you watched the video I just sent you?"

0815 thought to himself that he didn't dare to be absent-minded just now, and lowered his head to click on the star ring.

Suddenly, dozens of bookstore-related unboxing and live streaming comparison videos appeared on Starnet. Discussions about Guandao, bookstores, and bookstore live streaming have already topped the Internet's high-frequency search list. Seven of the top ten terms are related to Guandao and bookstores.

0815 clicked on them one by one, quickly browsed to the bottom, frantically grabbing valid information, but in the end he was still full of doubts: "Just shipping from Guandao, can it cause such high popularity?"

0816 was also puzzled: "We are on the first floor, and the owner may be on the fifth floor."

0829: "The most interesting thing is that the bookstore did not broadcast live today. The less users on Star Network can see the bookstore's live broadcast room, the hotter the discussion becomes. Do you think she had anticipated this?"

0815 understood Lu Yao well and shook his head: "That's not the case. The owner sent me a message earlier and asked for some information. I'm afraid he is preparing a new book again."

0816 wailed: "A new book again? My God, isn't the frequency of putting up two books a day a little too fast?"

0877 also waved his hands: "No, no, I'm numb too. Please don't mention any news about the bookstore to me tomorrow."

0815 paused and whispered, "From what the owner said, she seems to be preparing new types of books, and the prices will be slightly loosened."

The guards pretended not to hear anything. In order to avoid temptation and protect their wallets, they hurriedly packed up and prepared to go home. If they continued to listen, their wallets would be thinner tomorrow.

----

A new day, the airships from the fourth, fifth, and sixth districts passed over the eighth district, and were surprised to find that the balloons and banners floating in the sky had changed.

The original uniform white and green balloon matrix was replaced with rainbow colors, and various balloons were floating in the air. The banners were printed with the same row of words: Popcorn Literature officially landed on the island today, and the happiness you want is all in the bookstore!

This is the only bookstore in the entire Guandao Island. The routine is still the same, but there is always something new every time.

What is popcorn literature?

Why is there no excerpt this time?

Happiness? What kind of happiness?

I don't even know what kind of happiness I want, how can your bookstore know?

Luyao's bookstore has indeed set off an unprecedented craze in Guandao, but the high prices also make it difficult for many customers to maintain long-term interest.

To exaggerate a little, the existence of the bookstore finally made these criminals who have obtained almost eternal time with mechanical bodies feel the torment of being in prison.

Every night, countless prisoners, like the secretary of the eighth district, swear not to pay attention to the news of the bookstore, but when they see balloons of different colors in the early morning, the determination they just suppressed is stirring again.

In the bookstore, Lu Yao has just changed the layout of the bookshelves, dividing them into three rows for displaying "classic literature", reducing the number of books on the shelves, and leaving two rows of bookshelves empty for the "best-selling novels" that are officially on the shelves today.

There are not enough best-selling novels at present, and one row of bookshelves cannot be filled.

This is not a problem, just put more on the shelves.

In order to cater to the promotion point, the owner placed new signs at the door of the bookstore and next to the bookshelves, promoting the concept of "popcorn literature".

Lu Yao finished the preparations for opening the store and waited until the timer rang.

In the early morning, as usual, there were almost no customers in the store.

Lu Yao actually had a vague feeling that fewer and fewer customers came to the store in the morning recently.

Lu Yao didn't want to wait until the problem became so serious that there was no room for recovery before making adjustments. Whether she could reverse the situation invisibly depended on whether the popcorn literature she carefully selected could enter the hearts of the customers.

When the timer rang, Lu Yao interrupted the messy thoughts in her mind and instructed the Dream Yuanmeng system to open the live broadcast room.

She went back to the employee lounge to make a pot of fruit tea, took the breakfast brought by Xiao Ji, and pushed a cart of new books into the live broadcast room. Lu Yao

put breakfast and hot tea on the table slowly as usual. Before sitting down, she took a new book from the cart and fixed it in front of her with a bookshelf, preparing to eat while flipping through a few pages.

As soon as she sat down, she habitually looked up at the number of viewers in the upper right corner and was slightly stunned: "Is there a bug? Why are there so many people."

The bookstore's live broadcast room has just been opened for two or three days, and the maximum number of online viewers has reached more than 20,000, but the number of orders is only more than 200.

Considering the high unit price of books, the popularity and order volume of the bookstore's live broadcast room are actually very impressive.

However, Lu Yao is doing the live broadcast with a mission, and this popularity and sales volume are far from enough.

Yesterday, the live broadcast was suspended for another day due to something. Lu Yao was mentally prepared that there would be no one in the morning, but as soon as the broadcast started, he saw 50,000 people watching online, and the number of real-time viewers was still rising.

There were also many people speaking on the message screen, including some guests who entered the bookstore's live broadcast room for the first time.

[Wild Star No. 25398: Guandao's live broadcast room is really different from before...]

[Wild Star No. 40499: No, the owner is a native? Is he in Guandao now? 】

【Wild Star No. 50999: Shocked!!! Didn't the last shop owner have his brain dug out? How brave must he be to go to the island without changing his mechanical body? 】

【Wild Star No. 50336: I even suspect this is a fake live broadcast room! 】

【Wild Star No. 3: New here. You'll see when you take a break, those high-spirit criminals are very obedient in front of the shop owner. 】

【Wild Star No. 99: I suspect the shop owner's spirit is super high. 】

【Wild Star No. 30985: Don't exaggerate. How fierce are the criminals on Guandao? Haven't there been enough news earlier? Don't make it worse than the last shop owner. 】

…

While the audience in the live broadcast room were discussing enthusiastically, Lu Yao learned from the Dream-fulfilling System that there was a great discussion about Guandao and the bookstore on the Star Network last night.

Because she had to manage the live broadcast room, Lu Yao's Star Ring was able to remove some permissions.

She can search for information other than Guandao on certain fixed web pages. She

stopped reading the book and ate breakfast while flipping through the bookstore-related videos uploaded by netizens yesterday, and started a live reaction.

…

[Wild Star No. 497: Am I the only one who is curious about what the newly listed "Popcorn Literature" is? 】

This message was quickly drowned out by other messages, but Lu Yao happened to look up and immediately went into business mode, smiling at the camera: "You should know popcorn, right? The popcorn package bundled with the cinema is just a condiment for watching movies, and it is very inconspicuous.

"The ingredients are only simple corn kernels, saccharin, and creamer, but it can emit a charming aroma that is enough to fill the entire ticket hall, and it can also happily kill the boring time before the movie officially starts. The insignificant popcorn is also one of the reasons why many people like to go to the cinema.

"Popcorn literature is like popcorn. It is not so profound, not so solemn, and perhaps not very nutritious. But like popcorn, it can fill your fragmented and boring time and bring you the simplest and most direct happiness. It is like an easy-going friend, always waiting for you to invite him to play together."
