Time passed by quickly, and it was now August. Yang Yi's new book, Yu Zui, was getting better and better. Although he had yet to go to Guangzhou for training, the character of the protagonist, Yu Zui, was already reflected in every little thing.
This was a bastard, a bastard who didn't have the best family background, wasn't the most handsome, and didn't have the best grades. However, he had a cleverness that made people both love and hate him. He had a sense of loyalty and loyalty that allowed him to easily become the brains of his brothers. This bastard Yu!
In the words of a senior reader's comment, "He doesn't look like a future police officer at all, but he's the one that readers look forward to being the most outstanding one in the selection!"
Of course, Yu Zui did not pass the selection. The plot of the story explained that he had returned to his hometown, and the police king, Xu Pingqiu, who was worshipped by the students, seemed to want to visit him three times.
Such a despicable person had grabbed the hearts of the readers tightly. More and more readers flooded in to catch up, wanting to see his final counterattack.
Qiyue's backend data showed that the sales of Yu Zui had surpassed Yang Yi's previous two books in just over a week after the update. It was also ranked second in the urban section. Looking at this momentum, it was only a matter of time before it overtook the first place!
The editors in Qiyue's editorial department exclaimed that this was a phenomenon!
If the sales of Yu Zui were to be better than those of Soldier Assault and Drawing Sword, that would still be understandable. After all, the number of readers of the city segment had always occupied half of the starting reading market. It was not something a niche military segment could compare to!
However, Yu Zui's sales could compete with other popular books in the urban section. This was something they never expected!
Yu Zui did not look like a web novel. Its protagonist was not reborn, did not transmigrate, and did not have any special abilities or other cheat codes. He was just an ordinary civilian. Although he was a little clever, it was obvious that this kind of cleverness could not compete with the mountain that was reality!
How could he write a web novel without a cheat code?
How could it be easy to make a comeback when it was not a genre?
But the data was there, and the sales of "The Remaining Sins" were getting higher and higher. Many readers who came to read the book cursed and wanted to abandon it, but in the end, they couldn't help but come back.
"F * ck, I just want to know what kind of power a b * tch who can ride on the official car of the returning petitioners can unleash!" A book reviewer voiced the thoughts of many new readers.
It had to be said that there were people praising and criticizing Yu Zui in the book review section. The polarization was similar to that of Soldier's Assault in the past, but those who criticized Yu Zui were more like the complaints of Drawing Sword when the supporting characters kept dying.
Those readers who were scolding him were, in fact, just trying to catch up. They were not as determined as those who were clamoring to abandon the book.
Compared to the one-sided negative reviews in the book review section when the book was first released, it was much better!
Obviously, TieJunior.com was not willing to continue paying the trolls. They realized that they had been causing a ruckus for a while, but it was only a one-man show. Others ignored them, and it didn't even hurt them. The group of people led by Ling Yun chose to retreat with their tails between their legs.
TieJunior.com's editorial department could not care less about "The Remaining Sins", which had no conflict of interest with them. What they needed to pay the most attention to now was the sales of the two physical books, Soldier's Assault and Drawing Sword.
According to the previous arrangement, the godly author under their banner, "Dan Hen Scar," would also have a signing event on the first day of August. And the next day, the results for "Dan Hen Scar" were out. Driven by the signing event, the sales of the new and old physical copies of "Dan Hen Scar" had reached 250,000 copies nationwide!
Of course, this result was not good, but under the circumstances where physical sales of online literature were generally not high, 250,000 copies was still an excellent result!
For this reason, TieJunior.com's editorial department even opened a bottle of champagne and held a small celebration.
On the other hand, the opponent's results had to be calculated by the data released by the copyright association. The data released by the copyright association would generally be delayed by half a day, which was a form of protection for the original channel.
Therefore, Ling Yun Extreme did not rest at noon. He kept urging Fish Ball to refresh the webpage, "Is there any news?"
"Uh …" Fish Ball looked at the computer screen and was dumbfounded, "There is, but …"
Ling Yun Extreme impatiently walked up to take a look, and the string of dazzling numbers left him dumbfounded.
"Ten, Hundred, Thousand, Ten Thousand …" Ling Yun Extreme counted over and over again, refusing to believe it.
"Could the copyright association have made a mistake?" Fish Ball asked weakly, "How could the highest single book be more than 5 million copies?"
The computer showed that "Drawing Sword" had the highest sales, with more than 5.36 million copies sold on the first day. "Soldier's Assault" was a little less, but it still had more than 4.83 million copies sold on the first day.
Ling Yun Extreme also felt that it was impossible. He went back to his office, found a phone, and dialed it. After a while, he walked in with a gloomy face.
"I asked a friend of mine in the copyright association to check. The numbers are correct," Ling Yun Extreme said sullenly.
"It can't be, right? How is that possible? They're going to be crowned gods! "The editorial department exclaimed one after another.
"Of course, this is not their first-day sales!" Ling Yun Extreme said unhappily, "The military purchased two million copies, and the online pre-sales they did before contributed more than a million copies of sales. In the end, all of that was included."
"But after subtracting that, they should still have more than a million copies sold on the first day." Fish Ball, the hothead, really touched the pot that did not boil.
"That's right!" Ling Yun Extreme glared fiercely at Fish Ball, but suddenly sighed, "We've picked an opponent for ourselves that we can't beat!"
First-day sales of more than a million copies would make a big deal out of the publishing industry, let alone the online literature industry. Moreover, based on this momentum, it was believed that these two books could squeeze into the top 100 sales list of the year!
The Iron Army wanted to compete with such an opponent who was not even on the same level. They were simply overestimating themselves and asking for humiliation!
"Forget it, withdraw all the publicity and treat it as us admitting defeat!" Ling Yun Extreme waved his hand disheartenedly.
"But there's still a piece of good news." Ling Yun Extreme, as the deputy chief editor, quickly sorted out his emotions. He encouraged, "Yang Yi is now writing urban novels, so there's nothing for him to compete with us. So, we don't have to worry about him anymore."
Not to mention the Iron Army, who had made a big fuss at the beginning but left dejectedly, the focus of almost the entire publishing industry was now on Yang Yi, the rising king of newcomers.
Sahara Press also wanted to strike while the iron was hot and push Yang Yi's fame and the sales of his two physical books to the peak.
However, Yang Yi rejected the signing event.
"You really don't want to do a signing event? Not even in Jiangcheng? " Mr. Lu, who was in charge of contacting Yang Yi, could not handle it. Fu Jun personally called Yang Yi to pester him, "Don't you know how loud the fans are now? The first-day sales exceeded a million copies, it's not right if you don't show up to thank the fans! "
