Boss Jia flipped open the "Nine Swords of Black Heaven" and realized that it was actually a swordsmanship manual. The manual listed nine killer moves, namely Sword's Abyss, Sword Soldier's Slaughter, Sword Fighting Dome, Sword Inscription, Sword's Spring, Sword Array Break, Sword Formation Curtain, Sword Filling, and Sword Before Sword. According to the manual's description, each of the nine killer moves contained boundless power.
Among them, the ones with the strongest attack power could pierce through the earth with a single sword. They could pierce through the earth from Huaxia to America. There were also those with strong defense power. Even if it was a nuclear explosion, they could easily block it.
If one could master all of the nine killer moves, even piercing through the heavens, slicing through the void, and traversing between dimensions would be a piece of cake.
Boss Jia's interest was piqued. Just as he was about to start practicing according to the manual, he realized that the manual required the practitioner to comprehend the sword essence. Furthermore, the sword essence could only be comprehended before the age of 18. Once the age of 18 was exceeded, the practitioner would not be able to comprehend it.
That was not all. Under normal circumstances, sword essences did not exist. Only when two dimensional spaces began to collide and a dimensional crack appeared would the sword essences in the dimensional space fall into the world and be absorbed by humans.
All in all, unless the Earth was invaded by the Yuan Bandits, as depicted in the manga, the humans on Earth would never be able to learn the Nine Swords of Black Heaven.
"Amazing. This is a perfect setting!" Boss Jia could not help but exclaim. With such a setting, the "Nine Swords of Black Heaven" seemed to be real. There was no way to prove that it was fake …
After Boss Jia placed Gu Fan's only two products on the table, he started to chat with Gu Fan out of curiosity as there was still some time before the opening of the store.
Through the conversation, Boss Jia found out that Gu Fan had a dream of becoming a mangaka. His dream was to spread the story of "Swordmistress" to the world. He wanted everyone to know that there was a world of swordmistresses, and that there was a young man named Fleeting Calendar!
"What a good kid. Honest, cute, and chuunibyou. There are so many kids out there!" Boss Jia couldn't help but cherish this talent. At the same time, he made up his mind to recruit Gu Fan and give him a chance to be serialized.
Moreover, the comics were not bad. Although the characters were still a little immature and it was obvious that they were drawn by a newbie, the drawing skills could be learned.
Moreover, Gu Fan was only 18 years old. He had a bright future ahead of him!
Just as Boss Jia was about to make a move to recruit Gu Fan, the crowd swarmed in. The exhibition center became extremely crowded in an instant. Visitors who had been waiting for hours filled the entire exhibition hall.
The aisle, which had been empty just a moment ago, became crowded in an instant.
"Mr. Jia, Mr. Takahashi, can you help me shout?" Gu Fan asked shyly. "I'm too embarrassed to shout. I hope you can help me!"
"Well …" To be fair, I, Kazuki Takahashi, am already the CEO of a magazine. How can I be a lowly worker and shout for you?
However, before Takahashi and Xi had time to speak, Boss Jia on the side began to shout, and his voice was particularly loud. He shouted, "Everyone, come and have a look. The most novel manga in the world is here."
"This comic is very good. If it's not good, I won't take your money!"
Hearing Boss Jia shouting so loudly, Kazuki Takahashi had no choice but to shout along with him.
Unfortunately, although the two of them were shouting with all their might, not many customers were willing to stop. Most of them walked past Gu Fan's stall in a hurry.
Occasionally, there would be a few who stayed after hearing the shout. However, when they saw the cover of "Sword Maiden", they couldn't help but shake their heads.
Sigh, even though the cover of the Sword Maiden is a beautiful girl, the problem is that the drawing of the beautiful girl is too bad. It's clearly a beautiful girl, but the drawing looks like a monkey. Gu Fan's drawing skills really need to be improved!
It was not easy for a customer to hear Boss Jia's hard work. He endured the terrible cover of the comic and began to read it seriously.
Then, good luck came. After reading for about three minutes, the customer asked, "Teacher, how much is this comic?"
He wanted to buy it!
Boss Jia smiled. Suddenly, he remembered that he hadn't asked about the price of the comic. So, he asked Gu Fan, who was behind him, "Teacher Gu Fan, how much is your comic?"
"500 yen for one book," Gu Fan stated the price. The customer frowned.
Looking at the other sellers around him, he knew that the price of a doujinshi comic, excluding the color pictures, was basically between 100 yen and 200 yen. Being able to sell it for 500 yen was definitely a high price.
Therefore, the customer was very hesitant. He didn't know whether to buy the comic or not.
"Will there be a continuation of this comic?" The customer flipped to the end and found that it wasn't a short comic. It seemed to be a long serial, so the story was written with the words "To be continued".
"I don't know …" Gu Fan shook his head and said, "Maybe, maybe not!"
"Then forget it!" It was obvious that the customer liked the story of the comic. However, when he heard that it might not be finished, he gave up.
Then, a few more customers asked about the comic. However, when they heard that the comic might not be finished, they gave up like the previous customers.
"Teacher Gu Fan, can't you guarantee that this comic will be finished?" Boss Jia couldn't help but ask. He just noticed that there were only six customers who asked about the price in an hour.
However, what was very surprising was that there were only six customers who seriously read the comic during that hour.
In other words, these customers weren't dissuaded by the terrible cover and characters. After they started reading the story seriously, they were all infected by "Sword Maiden" and wanted to buy the comic.
This was a very shocking achievement. It meant that as long as the customers read the comic, there was a 100% chance that they would become loyal readers.
This was the highest price of 500 yen per comic. 500 yen could buy two Youngermen Jump comics.
Of course, the data of only six people was a little low. However, the real data was definitely not lower than 80% … A comic with an 80% conversion rate was probably on the same level as the Sea of Dead Flames.
The future pillar of the comic was done.
Therefore, Boss Jia asked curiously. He had to make sure that Gu Fan continued to draw the comic. This was a money tree!
"My family doesn't agree with my idea! They don't agree with me coming to Fusang! " Gu Fan hesitated, then said, "Especially my father. I made a promise with him. If I can't sell 100 comics by today, it means that I don't have the talent to draw comics, and my father will take me home."
"I originally wanted to sell 100 comics by serializing them in a regular comic magazine. However, no magazine recognizes my comics. Therefore, I'm printing 100 comics today. This is my last chance! "
"What if you can't sell them?" Boss Jia asked.
"Then I'll go home!" Gu Fan's eyes were filled with melancholy, "My father will probably come back to pick me up. My mission has failed!"
"What does your father do?"
"His name is Cold Gu. He's the Supreme Sword Emperor, the strongest known pacifier. He controls the entire Sword Maiden Universe …"
"Stop … Okay, I know that your father is very powerful. Let's continue to sell!" Boss Jia quickly interrupted the young man's fantasy. However, his father was probably very powerful. Gu Fan was probably a child of a rich family.
However, he had never heard of anyone with the surname Gu in the country. This surname was very rare.
Boss Jia shook his head and then looked at the "Sword Maiden" manga on the table. It was 11 o 'clock in the morning. It was definitely impossible to sell these 100 comics in one day. It seemed that Boss Jia could only use some money to do it.
