Amamiya Aiko leaned against the bookshelf, her body very relaxed. She looked at Mitarashi Nanaya with a smile, "You seem to have tanned a lot recently. Is it very hot over there in Aurous Hill?"
"Well, it's quite hot. It's hotter than Tokyo. I heard from the real estate agency that Jinling is a famous furnace in China. It's even better this year, and it's even hotter in the past. But, have I really turned black?" Nanaya Mitarashi leaned forward to look.
He looked at the mirror on the pillar and touched his face, "It doesn't seem to have changed much, right?"
"It's really dark." Aiko Amamiya stretched her arm next to Mitarai's arm, "Look."
Looking at the contrast between the black and white of their arms, Mitarashi nodded, "Well, it's a little darker, so you can see it from the comparison. How is the business of the bookstore this summer? I only found out after hearing what Miya said.
Such novels are popular.”
"Not only students, adults also like this kind of novels, but you rarely pay attention to them."
Amamiya Aiko and Mitarai Nanaya have been playing together since they were naked. She knows all his preferences, including his preference for reading.
After Mitarashi Nanaya graduated from high school, she basically no longer read the comics she used to like. Instead, she read more mysteries, science fiction novels, and some pure literary works.
Amamiya's bookstore has two special areas, one is the mystery area and the other is the science fiction area.
It doesn’t seem surprising that a bookstore in Neon has a mystery section. Many bookstores specialize in mystery novels, and some even just sell mystery novels.
Science fiction works in Neon are not treated as mystery novels. Although there are many science fiction works in Neon, the attitude of Neon people towards science fiction is different from other places.
Neon's science fiction works, quoted by some science fiction fans, are that their science fiction works are too soft. The settings of many neon science fiction works are separated from reality and completely independent. This also creates a situation where some of Neon's science fiction works are
With science fiction anime, the audience doesn’t even realize that they are watching a science fiction work.
In Neon's bookstore, if there are science fiction works, they are basically mecha comics, and there are not too many serious science fiction novels.
That’s why the Amamiya family’s bookstore has a science fiction section, and everyone knows who it is for.
"Liu Cixin's new book "The Wandering Earth" is now on the shelves. Do you want to read it? I specially left a copy for you."
Mitarai smiled and said, "Okay."
In fact, he has already read Liu Cixin's "The Wandering Earth". Although there was no neon version of "The Wandering Earth" before, the English version has been out for a long time, and Shen Kong has generously translated the full text of "The Wandering Earth" to Shen Kong.
It is available for free reading by netizens.
Following Aiko to the second floor, she got the "The Wandering Earth" that was specially reserved for him. Mitarai Nanaya flipped through it. This was actually a collection of novels. Apart from the novel "The Wandering Earth", this collection of novels
It also contains several short stories by Liu Cixin, such as "Country Teacher" and "Bring Her Eyes on".
I have read all the English versions of Mitarai Nanaya of these short stories, but this is the first time I have seen the neon version.
After handing the book to Mitarai for seven nights, Amamiya Aiko smiled and said, "Tell me, how was your time at Aurous Hill? The Deep Space Park, which you have said many times, did not disappoint you, right?"
"Not only did it not disappoint me, but it also gave me many surprises. No matter how people describe it, they cannot describe the attraction of the deep space park."
"Is it very big there?" Amamiya Aiko asked.
"It's very big." Mitarai Nanaya nodded and added, "However, there are buildings like that all over the world, and there are many taller and more magnificent ones. What is really attractive is not their buildings, but
Can you imagine the contents of the building and the people inside? You are walking among various science fiction stalls, and suddenly you see a handsome guy, who turns out to be Matthew McConaughey, followed by Depp? And
, before your excitement has passed, you turn around and see an old man with a white beard. His name is George Martin, the author of "A Song of Ice and Fire."
"JK Rowling may be walking behind you, Liu Cixin may help people look at the booths, and even the ticket inspector in the movie hall may be hcg. And Fran Vinci, who just won the Hugo Award, you may be able to
Saw him on some console."
Hearing Mitarai Nanaya's words, Amamiya Aiko showed a longing expression, "It's a pity that the store is too busy during this time, otherwise I really want to go there with you."
Amamiya Aiko's father broke his leg while doing morning exercises some time ago. Her mother had to take care of her father, so Aiko had to take over the responsibility of the bookstore. She had originally planned to go to Jinling with Nanaya Mitarai.
Mitarai Nanaya smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. If we have time in winter, we will go there again to see the Deep Space Company's annual meeting. That is a more lively event than the Oscars. The real estate agent told me that by then
He can help me get two front row tickets for the concert."
"Okay, let's go together then."
Amemiya Aiko held her chin, and the scene of going to Jinling with Nanaya Mitarai in winter already appeared in her mind.
Looking at Aiko's expression, Mitarai Nanaya also smiled. In fact, Chen Tao not only promised to give him two tickets, but also invited him to be the president of the Neon Branch of Yuhua Mystery Club.
After a few days of contact between the two, Chen Tao felt that Mitarai Nanaya was very suitable to serve as the president of the Neon Branch of Yuhua Mystery Club.
Mitarai Nanaya is a native of Tokyo. She is still attending university in Tokyo and will graduate next year.
The most important thing is that Mitarashi Nanaya has a strong language learning ability, is proficient in English and neon language, and has shown a strong interest in Chinese culture.
In addition, after getting in touch with him, Chen Tao believed that Nanaya Mitarai had certain leadership abilities, and his views on the script killing game coincided with his and Jin Yang's.
Chen Tao and the others wanted to open a branch in Neon mainly to promote games and their board game store. Since Nanaya Mitarai could see the development potential of these games, they might as well let him serve as the branch president.
Mitarashi Nanaya did not immediately agree to Chen Tao's proposal.
There are two reasons why he did not agree immediately. First, he has not graduated yet, and he is worried that his studies will be affected by the branch affairs without completing his studies. Second, he is not sure that Chen Tao and the others are in Neon.
How much investment is there? Do you really want to develop the branch here or do you just want to take advantage of it?
Regarding his hesitation, Chen Tao also expressed understanding and said that he would give him an answer after Chen Tao came to Neon for inspection next time.
In fact, from the heart, Mitarashi Nanaya still wanted to agree to Chen Tao. The president of the branch of the reasoning society is not a false position. Not only does he have authority, but he also has a salary.
Although the starting salary package given by Chen Tao is very average, if Chen Tao and others can really pay attention to the neon market, the potential of this position will definitely be unlimited.
In addition, Chen Tao is Yu Dong's brother-in-law. If he hooks up with Chen Tao, he is also hooking up with Yu Dong.
These are all considered from a practical perspective. If considered from a perceptual perspective, he is more willing to explore the neon market with Chen Tao and others than to join a company as a white-collar worker after graduation.
Thinking of this, Mitarai Nanaya suddenly asked Amamiya Aiko, "Is the toy store next to your house not open yet?"
Speaking of the toy store next to her, Aiko looked a little lonely. That toy store has a history almost as long as the Amamiya family's bookstore. For young people like Aiko and the others, that toy store has been the place where they spent the most time since childhood.
.
The toy store is run by an old couple, but since the beginning of the year, the owner's health has become worse. In order to allow the owner to get more rest, the couple began to reduce the time they spend opening the store.
At first, it was closed and closed for one day a week. Later, the number of closed days gradually increased, and it became three days off, two days off, and one day off and one day off.
In the end, I simply stopped opening the door.
In fact, there are not many customers in toy stores now. People have begun to buy toys in big stores, and they no longer look down on the outdated toys in toy stores.
"I went to see Grandpa Naniya yesterday, and he told me that he might have to move."
"where to?"
"Osaka, their son has opened a law firm in Osaka and his career is quite successful. I have been trying to persuade Grandpa Naniya and the others to go to Osaka, but they are worried about the toy store and have been unwilling to go there. Now Grandpa Naniya's health is getting worse.
The weather was getting worse and worse, so I had to put down work and rest, so I wanted to go visit my son."
"What about their store?"
"I heard from Grandpa Langya that his son wants to rent out or sell the house, and a notice will be posted soon."
Hearing that the toy store next door was going to be rented out or sold, Mitarai Nanaya started to think about it.
Like Amamiya Aiko, he often stayed in toy stores when he was a child, so he knows the layout of toy stores very well.
The toy store is quite large. In addition to the lobby in the front, there are also several rooms in the back. It is more suitable to be a board game store.
Moreover, the market entrance of this place is quite good. It is not a particularly prosperous area, but the flow of people is not small. There is a bookstore next to it, and there are many young people passing by.
There is a mystery area in the bookstore. If they rent the toy store to open a board game store, and then use the board game store to form the neon branch of Yuhua Mystery Society, they can also hold activities in the bookstore in the future.
"Will they rent out the rooms at the back together?" Nanaya Mitarai asked.
Amemiya Aiko shook her head and said, "I don't know, why are you so concerned about this matter?"
"Because I want to rent it."
Aiko showed a surprised expression, "Do you want to rent the toy store? Why? Is it because you can't bear to part with those toys?"
"Actually, it's not me who wants to rent it, but a friend who wants to rent it. He wants to do some business and may be looking for a store in Tokyo."
"Oh, if you want to know, I'll call you and ask."
…
Amamiya Aiko quickly found out that the toy store rents out all the rooms together, and she also asked about the rent. The rent was not expensive, and Grandpa Namiya said that if she wanted to rent it, she could get a discount.
After getting the news, Mitarashi Nanaya didn't waste any time. He borrowed Amamiya Aiko's computer and sent a private message to Chen Tao.
It happened that Chen Tao was online at the moment, so the two chatted for a while.
Chen Tao was very interested in the toy store Mitarai Nanaya mentioned, and even more interested in Mitarashi Nanaya's positive attitude.
Mitarashi Nanaya can help keep an eye on the facade, which shows that he is still willing to join Yuhua Mystery Club.
Chen Tao originally planned to find time to go to Neon after school started. Now that he had this news, he simply made an agreement with Mitarashi Nanaya to come in a few days.
After hanging up the phone, Mitarai Nanaya was in a good mood. She smiled and said to Amamiya Aiko, "Aiko, prepare to expand the reasoning area a little bigger."
…
Until Mitarashi Nanaya left the bookstore, Amamiya Aiko didn't understand why he asked her to expand the mystery section. But Amamiya Aiko was sure of one thing, that is, she must ask the bookseller for more supernatural novels from Deep Space Company tomorrow.
, the batch of books that just came in are almost sold out.
Especially the book "Fairy Eleven's Life Book" was sold out before the bookstore closed.
Moreover, she also wanted to ask when "Fairy Eleven's Life Book 2" would be released. At least a dozen waves of customers had asked about this in the past few days, and everyone was waiting for the second book to be released.
At this time in Neon, there were countless bookstore owners who had the same idea as Amamiya Aiko.
This type of fantasy novels have been popular in Neon for some time, but when the comic "Fairy Eleven's Life Book" came out, this type of novel became completely popular, and the supply exceeded demand in a short period of time.
Of course, even among supernatural novels, the styles are different.
The most popular "Fairy Eleven's Life Book" has an elegant writing style and a wide range of imagination. Readers will laugh when they read it.
But there is another category, which is also a novel about gods and monsters, but the focus is on gou (gou) blood, and the writing style is very sour and spicy.
For example, "Dance of the Dragon - Young Gun King", which is second only to "Fairy Eleven's Lifebook" in popularity, the main content is that a couple of super powerful monks gave birth to a son with average talent, but the son has not yet reached adulthood.
They died in an accident and lost the protection of their parents. Not only did the young man suffer the neglect of his relatives and friends, he was also hunted down by his enemies.
During many pursuits, the boy's blood awakened, he fought back, and finally became a super master and returned to his hometown. Relatives and friends who had neglected him back then came to have a relationship with him, but the male protagonist was already beyond their reach.
Although this story is cliched, many readers like this tone. From beginning to end, it is basically a conflict and then a slap in the face, and the cycle repeats.
Deep Space Company knows what readers like to read, and this type of novel is specially tailored for these readers.
The strategy of Deep Space Company is very correct. For Chinese online novels to become popular in Neon so quickly, "Fairy Eleven's Life Book" certainly deserves a lot of credit, but these super cool novels also make a big contribution.
Chapter completed!
