On the second day of the eighth month, after nearly a month of full-hearted writing, Li Ling finally wrote the fourth volume of the Congregation of Gods.

Throughout July, except for helping Gu Yuezi plan to fight against Wanjia Bookstore for a few days, Li Ling devoted himself to writing this novel, and even went to bookstores very rarely. After all, compared to writing, the income of the bookstore is really negligible.

This effort has also gained a lot. In Li Ling's opinion, the newly released fourth volume is more than one level higher than the previous three volumes, both in the plot and the words and sentences, and he has further improved his writing, so he has full confidence in publishing this book.

However, when Li Ling came to the bookstore to hand over the manuscript, he found that Manager Wu and the other guys in the store looked worried. Even when he saw him bringing the manuscript, he just barely smiled and asked him to go back and talk to his boss.

Gu Yuezi was not very emotional, so he smiled and took the manuscript: "Brother, you wrote this volume much slower than before."

"There is no way. Who told me that the next story is more difficult and the scene is bigger? I have to think carefully before I can start writing, right?" Li Ling smiled, and then said with concern: "Brother, why are you thinking a lot of worries? But what happened to the Wan family?"

This immediately caused Gu Yuezi to sigh: "It's not just an action, it's really a storm. You've been writing books at home behind closed doors, so you don't know that the situation outside has changed a lot."

"What do you mean?" Li Ling's expression quickly became serious. He thought the other party would not take the initiative so quickly. Now it seems that things are getting worse.

"Oh, I thought that calling the owners of the bookstores together that day would become an offensive and defensive alliance, but in the end I overestimated everyone's friendship for many years. At the beginning, Boss Wang and Boss Liu fell directly to Wanjia and put the books from Wanjia Bookstore on the shelves. Then, after Wanrong and the few people continued to lobby and lower the price of book purchases, the other companies were also shaken. Boss Lu, who had the best relationship with me, finally compromised. This happened more than ten days ago. Now my Gu family's books are exactly the same as Wanjia's books, but the price is 20% lower than mine. Naturally, no one is willing to pay for my books anymore."

Li Ling frowned repeatedly when he heard this. He thought that the merchants hundreds of years ago would value friendship and promises more than those in later generations, but now it seems that he is obviously overestimating them. The merchants are aiming for profit, and in the face of greater interests, friendship can only be put aside.

After sighing, Gu Yuezi said again: "It's not only those scriptures that completely cut off my retreat, but also the novel book. This month, this is the first novel you handed over to me, and the other authors have been poached by Wanjia! What's even more annoying is that Wanjia actually released four volumes of "The Romance of the Immortals" the day before yesterday! It almost came to you with the time to submit your manuscript, and we were going to kill us!"

"The Romance of the Immortals?" Li Ling frowned: "Is it the novel written by Dai Chang'an in imitating my previous plot?"

"That's right, I asked someone to buy a set to see it. He almost wrote it in front of him according to the content of your God, and only changed his name!" As he said that, Gu Yuezi turned around and took four books from the bookshelf behind and handed them to Li Ling, "Look at it."

What a good guy, looking at the big four words "Fengxian Romance" on the cover of the book, Li Ling said it directly. This guy is really familiar with the essence of imitation writing and hot topics. Even the title of the book is so straightforward that people think of his own Congregation at a glance.

However, Li Ling was also mentally prepared, so he was not unhappy. He opened the page and quickly browsed the contents in it.

After reading for a while, his lips curled up and he started to laugh. It was as Gu Yuezi said before. This book was completely based on the routine of the gods, but it only mentioned the age earlier and became the story of the Xia Dynasty.

Well, it was to replace King Zhou with Jie of Xia, Daji with Meixi, and Zhou with Shang tribe, King Wu was Cheng Tang, and Jiang Ziya became Yi Yin - there were obvious differences in the age, but the author didn't care much about it, just replaced the characters he knew at that time.

Then the gods in the sky are easier. They can all be used such as Donghuang Taiyi, Human Emperor Fuxi, etc., and some original characters, it really looks like that.

After quickly turning it over a few times, Li Ling understood why Gu Yuezi was very confident a few days ago, but now he was panicked. The bookstore's turnaround is one aspect, and the more important thing is that the content of the book "Caixian" is indeed not bad, and even from the point of view, it is still far above his own three volumes. Moreover, there are some contents in this book that the people like, which write down the interactive action content of King Zhou and Daji, which is wrong, Xia Jie and Meixi in the palace... The attraction should be even greater now.

Thinking of Dai Changan who saw that day, he looked too slutty and had a very weak body, Li Ling couldn't help but smile gently. This made Gu Yuezi, who was beside him, unable to control himself: "Brother, it's already this time, can you still laugh? At that time, I really thought Dai Changan couldn't write a decent one, but now it seems that he still underestimated his ability. These four books are not worse than yours, and they are faster than you and cheaper, so it will naturally have a great impact on your book."

Then Li Ling put the book in his hand back on the table, looked at the other party and asked, "Brother Gu, I want to hear the truth about you. Why did you buy my book that day? Because how gorgeous the words in my first volume are and how excellent the writing style is?"

After a moment of silence, Gu Yuezi shook his head: "Of course not, your writing style is just smooth. What I value most in the book "Fengshen" is the imagination of imaginativeness. There are also various characters emerging one after another, which is really exciting..."

"Isn't this a matter of the end? I can make everyone willing to read books because of my imagination, so his advantage is nothing."

"But the problem is that he also used all your wonderful thoughts..."

"That's not necessarily the first three volumes he could steal, but in fact, the truly exciting content of the Congshen began in this fourth volume." As he said that, he patted the manuscript he brought and sent it to the other party.

"Are you serious?" Seeing Li Ling's confident appearance, Gu Yuezi's spirit was revived, so he quickly looked through the manuscript. In fact, he had read the first half of the volume before, which was only more exciting than the first three volumes, and it might not be much stronger than the fairy. But when he saw the content behind, his eyes fell into it and could not be pulled out for a long time.

As Li Ling said, the content of the battles between the Anhui and Jiejiao later was really beyond people's imagination at this time, and it was so exciting that Gu Yuezi couldn't help but start to start to slap the tables.

Originally, the plot of the Ten Abyss Formation in the book was the most criticized by later generations. The Ten Red Sand Formation and the Golden Light Formation sounded good, but the content was the same. Xiqi sent cannon fodder into the formation and was killed, and then the twelve golden immortals of the Anarchy Sect entered the inner and broke the formation.

It would be fine if such a story came once or twice, but it came ten times in the Romance of the Gods. Anyone who changed it would be aesthetically exhausted. However, Li Ling made many adaptations and upgraded the various wonderful things of the Ten Abyss Formation. The methods of breaking the formation on Xiqi were different. It was really exciting and interesting, so that people couldn't stop once they started reading it. Only Li Ling had read many novels such as later generations of immortal cultivation and other novels made such adaptations. This was obviously not something that scholars of this era could think of.

"Okay! Wonderful!" After admiring repeatedly, Gu Yuezi put down the manuscript in his hand and exhaled a long breath of turbid air, his face showed a real smile for the first time in a few days: "Brother, you really didn't say a big talk, nor did you disappoint me. This volume of the God of the Gods can match the previous three volumes. As for the Fairy, it's not worth mentioning!"

Li Ling also smiled: "So as long as we print the book as soon as possible, we can cut off their path before the fairy sold. I will see how they ended!"

"Yes, I'll let them stop the revision at hand first. They must print out the fourth volume of the Conquest of Gods within three days, otherwise the longer the delay, the worse the situation will be!" Gu Yuezi said as he stood up and went out excitedly.

...

In the backyard of Wanjia Bookstore, Dai Changan sat in front of Wanrong and Wanai with a spring breeze on his face. Listening to them reporting the sales volume of his four books sold in the past two days, he felt relieved: "Four hundred books, they sold so many in just three days. Gu Yuezi should have received the news at this time. I really want to see what he has now. At that time, he actually said that I was going through the evil path! Could it be that Xiaoyaozi can't write it?"

"Mr. Dai, have you thought about how to write the next fifth volume?" Wanai asked with a smile.

Dai Changan then raised his spirits slightly and bowed: "The students naturally had plans, and the contents behind them will be even more exciting. However, the royalties are paid in this way..."

"Don't worry, I can't treat you badly. As long as you write quickly and well enough, you will only have one sentence to add ten taels of silver to you." Wan Rong said with a smile.

"I'm afraid ten taels are not enough. I heard that Li Ling's Volume of the Gods is worth fifty taels, so I should have got sixty taels."

Looking at his greedy look, Wan Ai's eyes showed a hint of unhappiness, but then he smiled and said, "It's okay, as long as the books can be sold, I'll give you sixty taels. But I have the conditions. I have to sell two thousand five books to give you sixty!"

"This..." Dai Changan was a little vague when he heard this number. The novels he wrote before had more than ten volumes, and the total number was not sold for 2,000.

"Why, are you afraid? Do I know that Feng Shen sold 800 copies when he only released the first volume." Wan Rong snorted.
Chapter completed!
