Chapter 26 The Attraction is Too Strong
Tang Chengbin, who successfully bought "Who Can Compete", felt like he had found a treasure.
His two roommates Huang Meng and Xu Xiaofei also became very curious about the work "Who Can Compete?"
In addition to buying a copy of "Who Can Compete" today, the three of them also bought the current best-selling popular fiction magazine "Legend".
"Legend" magazine is the main popular fiction magazine under the Legend Publishing House, and the controlling shareholder of Legend Publishing House is Excellence Entertainment, one of the four major companies, which is best at innovation and forge ahead.
The popular fiction magazine whose sales volume is second only to "Legend" is called "Skyfire". Its publisher, Skyfire Publishing House, is controlled by Qingtian Entertainment.
The sales volume of Qidian magazine has always ranked third in the industry, but its advantage over the previous two lies in Qidian.com, a website that always produces some excellent new authors from time to time.
It’s a pity that the editors of "Legend" and "Skyfire" will also keep an eye on "Qidian.com". Once they find a good talent, they will choose to poach him decisively.
They will privately promise the authors that as long as the authors submit their works to their magazine's "Newcomer Award" or "Monthly Award", they will be guaranteed to win at least a silver award and then make their debut.
Legend Publishing House and Tianhuo Publishing House have always felt that they were very smart. They not only saved the cost of operating the website, but also poached customers from Qidian Publishing House, which made them feel very comfortable.
The reason why online literature has not developed in this world is that the excellent authors have been absorbed by the popular fiction circle.
After Tang Chengbin and the other two bought the books, they went to the school store to buy some snacks and prepared to go back to the dormitory to eat and read happily.
On the way back to the dormitory, Huang Meng couldn't help but ask, "Brother Bin, what on earth is this book 'Who Can Compete' about? Why do you treasure it so much?"
Xu Xiaofei was also curious and asked, "This seems to be a new book by a new author. I've never heard of the author 'Nan Gezi' before, but this book seems to be selling very well. If Brother Bin hadn't been quick, I might not have been able to buy it. So, what is the magic of this book?"
Tang Chengbin said cheerfully, "Although I only read the beginning of 'Who's the Contender,' I was immediately hooked. For a 'Glory of Heroes' player like me, it's absolutely perfect for my taste. The awareness, techniques, and details described in it are incredibly professional. The depiction of the esports world is truly eye-opening! It truly deserves to be considered a pioneering work in esports fiction!"
When Huang Meng and Xu Xiaofei heard what Tang Chengbin said, their eyes lit up immediately, because they also played "Honor of Kings" and watched the game at the same time.
Readers like them who play games and watch competitions will feel more involved when reading "Who's the Champion" and have a better reading experience.
As soon as Tang Chengbin returned to the dormitory, he couldn't wait to wander into the world of the novel "Who Can Compete?"
He felt like he had become the protagonist of this novel, "Captain Yu Yu Luosheng". Starting from the Internet cafe league, he led his team step by step into the secondary league LDL, and attracted better teammates to join his team, and began to dominate the secondary league.
The protagonist of the novel is not only a killer in the professional arena, but also very popular in the live broadcast field. He and the mysterious master "Qian Meng" played in a duo and wreaked havoc on the South Korean server. In the end, at the settlement, he defeated dopa and topped the South Korean server!
The plot of this live broadcast of ranking points was also written in a brilliant and exciting way, which made Tang Chengbin very excited!
It's because in the novel, dopa, a South Korean, was portrayed as an invincible character in rank. He was once the number one in both servers and had even slaughtered the national server. But in the end, he was punished by the protagonist. Readers certainly like to see this kind of plot.
The most important thing is that, under the pen of the author "Nan Gezi", the games of these high-end ranks are written in a realistic manner, rather than random YY, which makes Tang Chengbin, who is in the diamond rank, not out of the play at all, so that he calls himself an expert after reading it.
It is this professionalism that gives "Who's the One" an irreplaceable masterpiece temperament, and it is almost impossible for others to follow suit and imitate it.
Ultimately, it is because Gu Qingge's gaming skills are already at the expert level, her awareness is even at the master level, and she also has proficient literary skills. The combination of the two has created such a work as "Who Can Compete".
This e-sports novel is completely different from the one written by "Uncle Luan" in the original world in terms of plot, except for the title and the characters of the male and female protagonists.
Tang Chengbin read the 200,000-word "Who Can Compete" almost in one breath!
Because it was so attractive, he couldn't help but bring it into the classroom and peek at it during evening study...
It had been a long time since he had done something like this, risking being discovered by the teacher and having his novel confiscated.
He didn't finish reading the work until he returned to the dormitory after evening self-study and the lights were about to be turned off.
The plot of the novel has progressed to the point where the protagonist Yu Luosheng leads his team to compete in the spring season of the domestic top league LPL. His LM team has been making great strides and has reached the S6 spring season finals. They will compete with the RNG team for the spring season championship. The winner will get the sole qualification to participate in MSI.
As a result, when Tang Chengbin was watching with excitement, the following scene disappeared!
According to the update speed of authors in the popular fiction circle, the second volume of "Who Can Compete" will not be released until at least next month.
Two hundred thousand words a month, this update speed is already considered above average in the industry. There are some authors who are chronically procrastinating and only publish one volume every three months...
"Fuck, is Nan Gezi really a new author? His fragmentation technique is so proficient, he deserves to be a graduate of Qidian's fragmentation training class." Tang Chengbin couldn't help but complain.
"Brother Bin, since you have finished reading it, please show it to me quickly." Huang Meng said hurriedly.
Tang Chengbin could only reluctantly hand the book to Huang Meng and said, "The lights in the dormitory will be turned off soon. Are you going to read it in bed with a flashlight?"
"Nonsense, this is not a basic operation."
"Okay, then go to bed early and don't watch too late."
"No, I'm an old bookworm. There aren't many books that I'd be interested in staying up late to read. I'll probably read until half past twelve at the latest, and then I'll definitely be sleepy." Huang Meng said confidently.
The next day, Tang Chengbin saw Huang Meng with dark circles under his eyes, and he was yawning constantly.
Huang Meng returned "Who Can Compete" to Tang Chengbin, and said with a hint of regret: "I have finished reading it too."
Tang Chengbin knew very well that this guy had been reading all night. It seemed that even the old bookworm could not resist the charm of "Who Can Compete"!
The subsequent developments made Tang Chengbin feel very dreamy. He was lucky enough to buy "Who Can Compete" and became a hot commodity in the school. There were many students who wanted to borrow this book. Even though he raised the rental fee to 5 yuan, there was still an endless stream of people wanting to borrow it!
Who made the "Who's the Contender" on the market sold out?
Tang Chengbin made a lot of money this time!
In such a situation, the customer service phone number of Qidian Publishing House has been flooded with calls!
The head of the customer service department couldn't help but scold the publishing house's deputy editor-in-chief, Chen Shuda, asking why the first print run of "Who Can Compete" was only 50,000 copies. This was too conservative!
It's just outrageous!
A week later, Qidian Publishing House held another regular meeting of editors, mainly to announce the weekly sales of two new books, "Who Can Compete" and "Fighting the World".
Even a fool can calculate the weekly sales of "Who Can Compete?", which is a full 50,000 copies!
In fact, this was the sales volume for three days. The book was completely sold out in three days.
As for the sales of "Wu Dou Tian Xia"...
