"Take a look!"
Du Qi nodded and replied.
Qian Zailai immediately took out the book and quickly browsed through it. Because Du Qi was there, Qian Zailai didn't read it word by word. Instead, he skimmed through it quickly.
After he finished reading, his face was already filled with shock. He sighed with emotion, "Young Master, your Investiture of the Gods is simply wonderful. It's really wonderful. Compared to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, I also like the Investiture of the Gods. "
Du Qi asked, "Will it sell well?"
"Of course!"
Qian Zailai patted his chest and promised.
"Shopkeeper, it's not good. The booksellers outside are making a fuss."
Right at this moment, an anxious voice was heard. It was a waiter from the bookstore who had just entered. With a worried expression on his face, he said, "Shopkeeper Qian, there are many booksellers outside. When they saw us unloading the goods, they all thought that the book just now was the latest content of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, so they stopped us and didn't let us enter the store. They wanted to buy it immediately. We've already explained it, but they didn't listen. "
After a pause, the waiter continued, "The most important thing is that these people are making a fuss. More and more people are gathering here. In particular, many booksellers mistakenly thought that the new book of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms was delivered and flocked here. The outside of the Zailai Bookstore has been blocked. There is no way out at all. "
Although there was a trace of worry in the waiter's words, it was more of pride.
The former Zailai Bookstore was on the verge of bankruptcy.
But now, it was flourishing.
The arrival of the books caused such a big commotion and made so many people crazy. It was simply shocking. Such a situation made the Zailai Bookstore, without a doubt, the most powerful bookstore among all the bookstores.
This was the current Zailai Bookstore.
Qian Zailai said, "Let's go out."
He was about to go out and explain the Investiture of the Gods in front of all the readers. Du Qi also stood up and said as he walked, "I'll go with you."
Qian Zailai raised his eyebrows and asked with an incredulous expression, "Young Master, are you going too?"
"Of course!"
Du Qi nodded.
Qian Zailai said, "It's just that Young Master is also going. Once many people know that the new book is the Investiture of the Gods and that Young Master was the one who delivered it, then it's very likely that Young Master's information will be exposed and many people will know. This Investiture of the Gods was also written by Young Master. "
"Although Young Master used Luo Guanzhong's name to write the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, due to the matter of the book being transported, everyone knew that the book was transported from the Du Family."
"As a result, everyone knows that Young Master is Luo Guanzhong."
"It's just that they didn't make it clear."
Qian Zailai continued, "Now, if Young Master reveals your identity again and lets everyone know that you wrote the Investiture of the Gods, then the Investiture of the Gods will be exposed. I'm afraid you'll be surrounded. "
Although Qian Zailai said so, in his heart, he actually hoped that Du Qi would go out. Exposing the fact that Du Qi was Luo Guanzhong was tantamount to advertising for the Zailai Bookstore. More and more people would know about the Zailai Bookstore, and more and more people would buy the Zailai Bookstore's books.
Du Qi said, "It's fine. Let's go!"
"Okay!"
When Qian Zailai heard that, he walked in front.
Du Qi followed closely behind.
The group of people left the backyard and soon arrived at the front hall of the bookstore. When they saw the crowd blocking the door, they were already excited. Readers and booksellers had all gathered, causing the streets outside the bookstore to be crowded with people. Countless people were excited.
The situation was truly shocking.
Du Qi was also a little surprised that the Romance of the Three Kingdoms had so many supporters. However, Du Qi also felt proud because so many people liked to read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. It was helpful to him.
Qian Zailai walked forward and said in a clear voice, "Everyone, be quiet, be quiet!"
As Qian Zailai spoke, the originally noisy scene gradually quieted down. Pairs of eyes fell on Qian Zailai, waiting for him to speak.
"Hey, isn't that Young Master Du Qi? I heard that the current Romance of the Three Kingdoms was written by Young Master Du in Luo Guanzhong's name. "
"Young Master Du, please say something."
"Young Master Du, I like your Romance of the Three Kingdoms very much. However, the speed at which this book is updated is really too slow. It only updates once every two days. Who knows how long it will take to finish reading all the content? "
"That's right. Young Master Du, speed up your writing so that we can read it quickly. Young Master Du, you can't keep us in suspense. "
"Qian Zailai, get out of the way. Don't block the way."
…
One by one, they kept speaking.
The faces of these readers and booksellers were filled with anticipation and joy. Although these people did not chase after celebrities, it did not hinder their respect for Du Qi because Du Qi was like a great literary hero.
Du Qi smiled. He didn't expect that he would just be a plagiarist for once.
This treatment was too good.
Of course, it was also because there was no entertainment in this era, and it was an era where scholars were supreme. A person who could help write a book that was passed down would definitely be respected.
Du Qi raised his hand and pressed it down.
After a long while, the surrounding voices all quieted down, and no one spoke again.
Pairs of eyes fell on Du Qi.
Du Qi said, "Everyone, I didn't expect that I would be discovered by all of you when I used Luo Guanzhong's name. All of you are really amazing! Originally, I didn't plan to show up, but now, I have to. Especially since I've already decided that even if you call my name, I won't acknowledge it. Sigh, it's a pity that all of you are so sure. I won't pretend anymore. "
This was deliberately done by Du Qi.
He wanted to use this opportunity to increase his reputation and let everyone know about him.
When everyone heard this, they burst into laughter.
One by one, they laughed.
The atmosphere became very harmonious in an instant. All of them looked at Du Qi with anticipation in their eyes.
After everyone calmed down, Du Qi said again, "Speaking of which, the book that was just sent to the warehouse is indeed not the latest content of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. It's a new book that I just wrote, called 'The Investiture of the Gods'. The first printing of this book was ten thousand copies. Now that it was sent to the bookstore, I didn't expect that all of you would immediately discover and stop it. "
The author of the Investiture of the Gods, Du Qi used Xu Zhonglin as the original author. In history, the original author of the Investiture of the Gods was rumored to be Xu Zhonglin. Du Qi's original plan was not to expose himself.
It was just that Li Jiancheng's matter made Du Qi feel a sense of urgency. It was precisely because of this that Du Qi chose not to hide behind the scenes and directly exposed his identity. It was precisely because of this that Du Qi first admitted that he was the author of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and now in front of everyone, he admitted that he wrote the Investiture of the Gods.
With the popularity of the Investiture of the Gods, Du Qi's reputation would definitely rise again.
It was inevitable that he would be a child prodigy. Even if he did not write in the future, he would definitely be a bright star in the literary world because of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and the Investiture of the Gods.
Under such circumstances, even if Li Jiancheng wanted to touch him, he would have to consider his background and reputation. It would be easy for Li Jiancheng to deal with a simple scholar.
However, Du Qi was different. Du Qi had the support of the King of Qin's residence behind him and Li Yuan's appreciation. In addition to that, adding on his own reputation, he would be able to form an extremely strong protective circle that could protect his safety.
After Du Qi finished speaking, many people in the crowd cheered because there was another new book to read.
However, there were also many people who sighed.
Because it wasn't the Romance of the Three Kingdoms that was being updated. If Du Qi had spent so much time and energy on the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, then the Romance of the Three Kingdoms would have had a lot of new content. They could feast their eyes on it.
