Translator: 549690339

(To the old man of Tinghai, the new alliance master, I’m very grateful!)

He heard Shen lang say that the sales of his new book would crush Zhu Wenhua’s ‘Mandarin Duck dream’.

The lecherous middle-aged manager, Deng Xian, couldn’t help but shrink his neck and said, ” “Young master, this Kasaya is difficult.”

“How many copies of the first volume of Zhu Wenhua’s ‘Mandarin Duck dream’ have you sold?” Shen lang asked.

“4600 copies. These are the books published in Lanshan city. Apart from the Four Books and Five Classics, they have the highest sales volume,” Deng Xian said.

Lanshan city’s large scale network could cover 30 – 40 cities and a few million people.

Therefore, 4,600 copies was indeed a very high sales figure.

Deng Xian said, ” Zhu Wenhua is the son of an aristocrat. He’s a high scholar at a young age and is a great scholar. His books are also good. Therefore, no matter if he was a pretty girl from a humble family or a young lady from a well-known family, everyone had one of his books. Many rich young ladies are especially infatuated with him and often buy hundreds of books at once, giving one to the servants and beauties at home.”

Shen lang could not help but think of the young male stars on earth in his previous life. Every time a movie was released, there would be crazy female fans who would buy hundreds of tickets at once and stand at the entrance of the cinema to give a ticket to everyone they saw.

However, it was a little low class to do so.

With his great influence, it was no wonder that all the bookstores in Lanshan city did not dare to publish Shen Lang’s book after he banned him.

“Shopkeeper Deng, how many books have you sold?” Shen lang asked.

Deng Xian said, ” 2700 copies. However, 70% of that book is filled with paintings. The remaining 30% is written in words. Moreover, it’s very explicit and vulgar. It can’t be compared to your book at all.

“To be honest, the standard of your books is a little too high. I’m afraid that my guests won’t be able to adapt to it.” The reason why I dare to estimate 3000 copies is that your portrayal of the flesh is too good, and your insert art is even better.”

“Then, how many copies of Volume 2 of ‘Mandarin Duck dream’ do you think Zhu Wenhua can buy?” Shen lang asked.

“5000 books, or even 6000 books,” Deng Xian said.

Because the first volume of ” Mandarin Duck dream ” had cultivated too many readers, countless people were eagerly waiting for it.

Therefore, the sales of the second volume would definitely be terrifying.

Deng Xian said, ” if I push it as hard as I can, your book can sell for 3000 copies. But it’ll be difficult to get any higher. It’ll be even more impossible to surpass Zhu Wenhua’s ‘Mandarin Duck dream’ Volume 2.

Deng Xian’s expression turned serious. to be honest, young master Shen’s book is much better than Zhu Wenhua’s ‘Mandarin duck’s dream’. In fact, they’re not even on the same level. But Wanwan, perhaps your book is too good for most people to understand.

Shen lang was stunned. you’re so particular about sex scenes and even know if a book is good or not? ”

Deng Xian was speechless. I used to be an author too. It’s true that I’m terrible at writing, but I’m still very accurate when it comes to reading other people’s books.

in short, even the fragrance of wine is afraid of the depth of the alley. I really can’t surpass Zhu Wenhua’s ‘Mandarin Duck dream, Volume 2’.

Deng Xian said honestly.

Shen lang laughed,”is the fragrance of the wine afraid of the deep alley?” Wasn’t it just to attract attention? No problem, I promise that when this book is released, it will be very flamboyant, oh no, I mean very fragrant.”

Shen lang said,”shopkeeper Deng, I’ll cover for you. Just print as much as you can.” If you can’t sell 3000 copies, I’ll pay you. However, if you sell more than 3000 copies.”

“You’ll take 20% of each,” Deng Xian said directly.

Waa! The royalties were so high.

This Deng Xian was quite a character, directly shouting out the highest share.

Of course, Shen lang did not do it to earn money. However, if he could transfer a sum of money, what was wrong with that?

“Alright,” he said. Deng Xian said, ” then I’ll use the best XI typographical layout for you. I’ll use the best master to give you the best illustrations. I’ll spare no effort and resources to make sure that your ‘endless wind and moon’ and Zhu Wenhua’s ‘Mandarin Duck dream’ will be released at the same time.

Shen lang said, ” if he sells it in a bookstore, we will set up a stall to sell it. We will set up a stall in front of any bookstore that sells ‘Mandarin Duck dream’.

Such a hooligan? “Alright, let’s do that.” Deng Xian nodded.

“Shopkeeper Deng, can your body take it?” Shen lang asked.

You also need confidence and ability to be a hooligan.

“No problem, who would a troublemaker like me be afraid of?” Deng Xian laughed disdainfully.

wait a moment, ” Shen lang said. I’ll add more chapters to the book and draw an illustration.

Then, Shen lang picked up the brush and improvised, adding some content to the original draft.

Jin mucong went up to take a look and was stunned again.

That was because Shen lang had added a new character.

This character’s name was Zhu Wenshan. He was born in a fallen noble family and was the son of a concubine. In order to continue living a luxurious life, he became the Prince Charming of the Ximen high official. He was raised outside and there were special illustrations of him.

Not only that, but Zhu Wenshan and Ximen Xianxian were also dirty, and there were also illustrations.

Jin mucong and Deng Xian looked at the figure in the painting and felt that it was very familiar.

Jin mucong could not help but mourn for Zhu Wenhua.

If this book became popular, then Zhu Wenhua’s reputation would be completely ruined.

Of course, he did not become a businessman’s boy toy in reality, but who cared about the truth?

Everyone loved to spread rumors, to repeat them 500 times and treat them as reality.

“Is this okay?” Shen lang asked Deng Xian.

“No problem, what problem could there be?” Deng Xian laughed disdainfully.

It seemed like this person had a powerful backer as well. He didn’t think much of Zhu Wenhua.

then I’ll wait and see. I’ll be waiting for the moment our new book City opens. Shen lang said.

Deng Xian kept the manuscript and bowed to Shen lang, ” “I definitely won’t disappoint the two young masters.”

Following that he said,”Shen young master, this wine fragrance is also afraid of the deep alleys.”

Shen lang said, ” don’t worry. I’ll go back now. I promise that when our book is released, it will be eye-catching and captivating.

……

After Shen lang returned home!

He immediately transformed into an artist.

He wanted to draw a poster!

The poster was too impressive and eye-catching. It was also colored, so it couldn’t be printed out. He could only rely on his hand drawing.

Each poster was a meter long and half a meter wide.

There were scrolls and banners.

Every one of them was drawn in a very realistic Western way, and they were all colored.

Although it was not as good as the photos, it was 80% as real as the photos.

There were three main characters, the West Gate high official, Zhu Wenshan, and Ximen Xianxian.

In this world without pictures, in this era of freehand painting, the impact was simply explosive.

It was too real.

It was even more lethal than the bikini posters in beauty contests.

So, what would be the result of hanging these large colored posters on bookstands?

Would it detonate his eyeballs? He would simply explode!

Shen lang had drawn more than ten of such posters.

……

Time flowed like water, time flew by.

The days of not being able to act tough quickly passed.

Thirteen days had passed.

Deng Xian had used the greatest amount of manpower, resources, and financial resources. In just thirteen days, he had completed the engraving, printing, cutting, and making the volume.

He personally sent the first copy of the ” endless wind and moon ” to the palace of the Earl of Xuanwu.

Even Shen lang felt that the cover was eye-catching.

There were three characters on the cover.

Great official Ximen, Zhu Wenshan, and Ximen Xianxian, all three of them looked so real.

“Young master, how’s the effect?” Deng Xian asked.

“It’s super good,” Shen lang said.

Deng Xian said,”I have absolute confidence that it’ll be a big hit!” The day after tomorrow is the release date of Zhu Wenhua’s ‘Mandarin duck’s dream’ Volume 2. Our book will be released at the same time as his. Also, we’ll be selling his book opposite his.”

Then, Deng Xian said,”however, even if the wine smells good, I’m afraid it’ll be too deep in the alley. I’m really worried that I can’t sell it to him.”

F * ck, this is the only sentence you know, right?

Shen lang did not say a word and pulled the curtain on the wall.

Suddenly, a dozen huge colored posters appeared.

It made one’s soul fly away.

“Ah!!!” Deng Xian exclaimed.

The visual impact was too strong.

It was a soul bomb!

“Is this explosive enough?” Shen lang asked.

“Young master Shen, let’s kill him! We’ll crush Zhu Wenhua into dust!” Deng Xian said, trembling.

……

Once again, time flowed like water, time flew by.

Two days later.

Shen lang and Jin mucong’s ” endless wind and moon ” and Zhu Wenhua’s ” couple’s dream ” Volume 2 were released at the same time.
