Honkai Impact 3rd: Join Anti-Entropy at the start and dominate the entertainment industry.

Bronya: What the hell?!

"So, you can draw?"

Bai Qianqu: "I understand a little bit, I understand a little bit."

Hearing this, Bronya felt relieved and smiled.

Bai Qianqu's "I have a slight understanding" is something that those who understand it already know.

"I didn't know you had such a talent. What level have you reached in painting? Are you good at ink painting, polychrome painting, or oil painting?"

"Does a stick figure count as a sketch?"

"Huh? What's a stick figure?"

Bai Qianqu remembered that there was no stick figure game in this world.

So he patiently explained, "It's just a circle and five lines, like matchsticks, that make up a person's head and limbs."

"Isn't that just kids' doodles?"

"Yeah, I've pretty much reached that level."

Bronya: (? ? ?)?

"Chiku, don't joke around."

"I'm not joking, look into my sincere eyes."

"I'm driving."

"We'll see when you get there."

Bronya:

When they arrived at the parking lot, Bronya stared at Bai Qianqu's eyes for a long time, but ultimately couldn't figure it out.

Chapter 149 A Frenzied Pursuit

"I think you're just being dishonest." Bronya said helplessly, but she wasn't worried. It wasn't hard to find an artist these days, as long as you had money. Since Bai Qianqu said he would take responsibility, she would let him take responsibility.

However, Bai Qianqu took the opportunity to openly and thoroughly examine Bronya.

Bronya had already seen through Bai Qianqu's scheme and asked somewhat irritably, "Am I pretty?"

"It looks beautiful." Bai Qianqu blurted out before she could even react.

"Well!"

Caught off guard by the sudden attack, Bronya blushed instantly.

What nonsense are you talking about?

Bai Qianqu had already realized what was happening, but as long as she wasn't embarrassed, it was others who would be.

He shamelessly boasted, "She really is beautiful. I can never get tired of looking at Bronya."

Whatever you want.

"You're so glib, you're asking for it!" Bronya gave him a coquettish glare. "Alright, I'm not messing around with you anymore, I'm leaving!"

With that, Bronya turned and left, but her hurried steps made it seem like she was running away.

At this moment, the three little heads crouching behind the flower bed not far away were all stunned.

"Hill, you're amazing! How did you know there would be some juicy gossip this morning?" Xing exclaimed in disbelief.

"Of course, who am I? But why is Teacher Bai suddenly so fierce? Is it because he felt ashamed about what happened last night and became brave again? I'm really impressed with him now." Hill looked at him with a gratified expression.

"Wow!" Seele blushed, her eyes sparkling as if she had discovered a new continent.

"Ahem! What are you doing?" Bai Qianqu noticed the three eavesdroppers at this moment.

"No! It's nothing! I just remembered, I left the gas stove in my office on! I'll be going now!"

Xing ran away in a flash.

"We didn't even take in the clothes that Xi'er and I left hanging in the recording studio! We're leaving too!"

Bai Qianqu was speechless as she watched the three people run away in a flash.

Why do these three little girls always like to eavesdrop?

What quirk?

However, looking back on his actions just now, he couldn't help but secretly give himself a thumbs up.

Unexpectedly, my shameless and nonchalant words about giving up seemed to have a good effect?

The way the big duck ran away shyly just now was so cute!

Bai Qianqu was flirting with the big duck over there, while the raven was busy running around in circles.

This morning, a bunch of bookstore owners called to order "The King's Avatar," and the entire editorial department was constantly ringing with the phone.

The owners of major bookstores were also stunned; they never expected that "The King's Avatar" would actually become so popular.

Previously, they didn't think much of this novel, believing that Qian Jian was a new author and wouldn't sell many copies without a reader base.

Therefore, they only ordered 20,000 to 30,000 copies, and the largest bookstore only ordered 350,000 copies.

The current situation is completely beyond their imagination. Almost all the books on the shelves of the bookstores have been sold out, and after being quickly restocked, they have been bought up by the throngs of readers.

The bookstore owners were stunned; these readers were practically grabbing books! They entered the store without a care in the world, rushed to the shelves, grabbed books, and went to pay!

Some people even held a book in one hand and a banknote in the other, as if they wanted to throw it directly into the counter.

The bookstores had never seen anything like it before, and they were all completely stunned. Some bookstores had already sold out of their stock yesterday, and by this morning, almost all of them were sold out!

Some shop owners, completely baffled, stopped a reader and asked, "Is this book good?"

"Of course! Why would I buy it if it wasn't good-looking?"

Do you know the author of this book?

"Not very familiar."

"You dare to buy his book if you don't even know him?"

"looks good."

"No, what I mean is, besides being a good book, what other reason would you have to come to my store to buy it?"

The reader thought about it carefully, and then a lightbulb went off in his head!

The boss also looked expectant; he felt he was about to uncover the truth.

Reader: "Other stores are sold out."

Boss: Holy crap!

The shopkeeper pulled out a copy of "The King's Avatar": "If you tell me why so many people are snapping up this book, I'll give it to you for free, for reasons other than just that it's good!"

The reader's eyes lit up: "You should have said so sooner!"

He snatched the book away, beckoned to the shop owner, and whispered in his ear when the owner leaned closer: "It's said that World Snake has announced that if the physical copy of 'The King's Avatar' sells well, they'll make the author, Qian Jian, write more chapters, at least 300,000 words every month!"

boss:

Good grief, this works?

This is practically forcing people to update their swords ten thousand times a day!

How many authors these days can update 10,000 words a day? Don't they care about quality anymore?

This is putting the cart before the horse!

Besides, would Qianjian really agree to that? Isn't this blatant exploitation of the author?

However, the bookstore owner didn't really care about these things. All he knew was that readers were buying into it and "The King's Avatar" was selling well.

As for the future, we'll talk about that later!

So he quickly called the World Snake Library.

"I want to order another 30,000, no! 50,000 copies!"

By this afternoon, all the bookstores were sold out, and the readers who couldn't buy books crowded at the bookstore entrances, making a ruckus.

What?! The bookstores here are sold out too?!

This is the third bookstore I've visited! All the bookstores in Changkong City are out of stock right now!

What's wrong with these bookstores? Why didn't they stock up more? With so little, who's going to buy it all?

[I want to see what happens next! I've been holding back for three days! I'm going to die if I don't see what happens next!]

[You can borrow books from friends to read the plot, but I just want Qianjian to update 10,000 words a day from now on!]

[That's right! World Snake Library has guaranteed 300,000 words per month from now on! For just 30 yuan, authors can get 10,000 words a day – it's an incredible deal!]

Holy crap! I have money now but I can't spend it, can you believe it!

The owners of major bookstores were also on the verge of tears. They watched helplessly as readers took their money. Didn't they want that money? But now they could only watch and couldn't take it!

All the bosses roared in anger!

"Damn! Hurry up and order 'The King's Avatar' from World Snake! I want 30,000 copies! No! 50,000 copies!"

"Tomorrow! I want to see the goods tomorrow!"

"The book the boss ordered still needs to be printed, it won't be ready so quickly!"

"I don't care! Order now! I want the first batch!"

This scene is happening in bookstores everywhere. Countless bookstores are calling to place additional orders, and the World Snake Bookstore is busy from morning till night, unable to stop.

However, the raven's face was full of smiles, and the busier it was, the more exaggerated its smile became.

She made one phone call after another, her tone arrogant and overbearing.

Chapter 150 Kevin, the Hands-off Manager

"Hello? Mr. Li from Yuelai Bookstore? Want to order another 30,000 copies? Sure, you'll have to wait in line. Huh? How long is the wait? There are only about a hundred people ahead of you, right?"

"Oh, Mr. Zhang from Yucai Bookstore? Want to place an order? No rush, let me register first."

"Boss Huo, we're full, we're full! We'll have to wait for the next batch to print! When will it start? I don't know either~~"
