"Don't rob! Don't rob! As long as there is money, everyone has a share! Everyone has a share!"
A young man wearing cotton clothes, with a strange color on his head, and two missing front teeth, stood in the alley on the side of the bookstore, shouting loudly.
Logically speaking, he looks like a delinquent young man, and anyone who sees him on the street will shy away from him and look at him with contempt.
But today is different from usual.
He was surrounded by all kinds of people, all of whom wanted to pay high prices to buy the books that he and his other brothers had grabbed in the bookstore together!
Seeing that there were about forty or fifty people crowded around him, the toothless young man cleared his throat and said to everyone:
"The debut work "Astrology Killing Magic" written by Kyousuke Maijo! The first edition only has 50,000 copies!"
"The 50,000 copies currently on the market have long been sold out and out of print!"
"I happen to have thirty more pieces here. The one with the highest bid will get it! The starting price is 5,000 yen, and each increase in price shall not be less than 500 yen!"
After the toothless young man finished speaking, he took out a plastic-sealed book with the Zodiac Astrology cover printed on it from his backpack, and waved it in front of everyone like a show off.
It was as if what he was holding in his hand at this moment was not an ordinary book, but a "Book of Blessings" that exuded colorful light!
"Five thousand five hundred yen!"
A middle-aged man gritted his teeth, raised his hand, and added the price of five hundred yen.
Although he hates the buying and selling behavior of delinquent young people very much, but...for me who likes mystery novels, it is an indescribable torture to not be able to read the book I have been looking forward to for the first time!
Although he also knew in his heart that with the current popularity of Maijo Kyousuke, it would only take a day or two for Kodansha to print "Astrology Killing Magic".
Even if I don’t watch it today, I won’t die.
But if you hear others discussing the plot of the novel, or you inadvertently let others know the truth!
For a fan of mystery novels, that is really more uncomfortable than being killed!
"I'll pay you six thousand yen!"
"I'll pay you seven thousand yen!"
Every extra second spent outside in the cold weather is a kind of physical abuse!
So soon, "Astrology Killing Magic" was auctioned for 20,000 yen each!
When the young man with missing teeth saw that the price of books continued to rise, his whole facial features almost squeezed together when he smiled!
Because he never expected that such a book, originally priced at two thousand yen, would be so popular and be raised to more than ten times the price!
It's a pity that after the price reached 20,000 yen, many of the forty or fifty people surrounding him left, leaving less than thirty people still standing around.
But no one was willing to continue bidding. After all, for the same price of 20,000 yen, one could buy a complete set of Henggou's official history or the complete works of Quinn in a nearby bookstore.
"Is there anyone else who wants to pay a higher price?"
"If not, this book will be sold to the lady who just made the bid for 20,000 yen."
"But next time, the starting price will be 20,000 yen!"
Everyone was in an uproar when they heard what the young man with missing teeth said!
Because follow the existing rules for young people with missing teeth.
The first copy costs 20,000 yen, then the second copy costs 20,500 yen, and the third copy costs 21,000 yen!
Even if everyone doesn't rush to grab it, and only adds 500 yen each time to buy it, the last person who buys the book will still need to spend 34,500 yen to get it!
Thinking of this, everyone's face showed a look of disgust, everyone just wanted to read a book.
Why do you have to suffer such cowardice in this freezing cold weather!
Just when everyone was in anger, a high-pitched voice came from a distance.
"I want all of your books!"
Everyone heard the sound coming from far away and turned their heads to look at the source of the sound.
I saw a tall girl with a wheat complexion wearing sportswear, and a voluptuous girl wearing a black coat and glasses, walking slowly towards the alley!
The girl with wheat-colored skin is none other than Kyoko Mikoshiba, the daughter of Kodansha’s sales department director Yasunori Mikoshiba.
The voluptuous girl with glasses is the eldest lady of the Kenqi Group, Mitsuki Kenzaki.
The voice just now came from the mouth of Kenzaki Mitsuki!
A delinquent young man with missing teeth is a delinquent young man after all.
Suddenly seeing these two beautiful girls with different styles, it’s hard to say anything excited:
"That... that... you want them all?"
"What I have here...is an out-of-print book on the market."
"The price is definitely much higher than the original price..."
Kenzaki Mitsuki looked at the other party with a squinting look, a look of disgust on his face:
"How many copies do you still have, and how much do you plan to cost?"
The toothless young man patted the crossbody bag with the books on his body, raised three fingers, and said with a mean smile:
"Thirty copies. Seeing how beautiful you are, I will suffer a little loss and charge you 700,000 yen."
When Kenzaki Mitsuki heard the other party's words, the expression on his face became even more disgusted, and he counted eighty 10,000 yen bills from his bag.
While shaking it in front of him, he pointed at the bag on the young man with missing teeth and said:
"There are a total of 800,000 yuan here. The extra money can be used to buy your bag."
"Now, put your bag on the ground for me."
When the young man with missing teeth heard that someone was willing to spend 100,000 yen to buy the several-hundred-yen bag he was wearing, he had an unusual smile on his face, but he didn't understand Kensaki Mitsuki's weird behavior:
"Why are you putting your bag on the floor?"
Kenzaki Mitsuki obviously didn't want to communicate more with the toothless young man, and frowned:
"Stop talking nonsense. Just do whatever I ask you to do. If you want to make money, you have to listen to me."
The young man with missing teeth did not dare to offend this "foolish and wealthy" big customer. He muttered and bent down to put his bag on the ground.
"What a weirdo..."
The young man with missing teeth had just put his bag on the ground. Before he even raised his head, he felt a cold wind blowing from the front!
Before he had time to think, a huge impact was transmitted to his head!
"boom!"
There was a muffled sound, and the young man with missing teeth felt his vision go dark. When he regained consciousness, he found that he was lying on his side on the ground!
The beautiful girl with wheat-colored skin just now was kicking her in the abdomen with her slender legs as if she were wearing skates!
The voluptuous girl with glasses also used her voluptuous legs to kick her hard on the back!
Every time he was kicked by the two, the toothless young man felt his gastric juices reflux, as if his internal organs had been kicked to pieces!
All the pride I felt just now turned into fear.
Seeing the beautiful girl with tanned skin and voluptuous body looking at him like she was looking at trash, the toothless young man couldn't even make a sound to beg for mercy.
Because as soon as you open your mouth, not only will you eat a mouthful of snow, but the strength on the feet of the two beautiful girls will also increase several times!
People around had heard that Kenzaki Mitsuki wanted to buy all the books, and originally wanted to theorize about it.
Now I see the two of them being so violent, kicking the young man with missing teeth until his mouth bleeds.
It’s not like he was so scared that he could leave, or he could not leave. He could only stand there, not even daring to take a breath.
When Kenzaki Mitsuki saw that the young man with missing teeth was kicked to silence, he stopped kicking him, stretched out his foot and stepped on the young man with missing teeth, and said viciously:
"You bastard, mystery novels are for everyone to enjoy, not for you, a bastard, to make money!"
"Don't let us two see you selling mystery novels again, or I'll beat you every time I see you!"
Kenzaki Mitsuki threw the 800,000 yen banknote in his hand to the ground and said in disgust:
"We are not unreasonable people. This 800,000 yuan will be used as your medical expenses."
After Kenzaki Mitsuki finished speaking, she clapped her hands and turned to look at the shivering people standing aside. Her eyes swept across everyone's faces. Because there was no smile on their faces, these people were a little worried about her. safety.
But what happened next was somewhat unexpected.
After Kenzaki Mitsuki confirmed the number of people present, he took out four books of "Astrology Killing Magic" from the bag that the young man who had just lost his teeth put on the ground, and then smiled and said to the people who had just snapped up the books:
"Thank you for your love for Teacher Wucheng. There are still twenty-six of you left."
"One copy per person, don't take more than one."
"This can be considered my contribution to mystery novels and Teacher Wucheng."
"As for what just happened, I hope everyone can forget it."
After Kenzaki Mitsuki finished speaking, a sweet and harmless smile appeared on his face, as if the person who just beat up the young man with missing teeth was not her...
