Chapter 77: Hype

Su Junyu does have a wide network of contacts - in this regard, he is not at all like the legendary Wanfamen monk who has few friends.

The next day, he took Zhao Qingtan to discuss with a group of businessmen.

These businessmen are considered to be the greatest forces in the world. In the past, the Immortal Alliance only took care of the monks. It only provided seeds and fertilizers to mortals, and opened some forums to popularize the modern immortal way. It didn't care much about the rest. Families such as the Ai family and the Bo family do have some businesses, but most of them only deal with monks.

This is why Feng Luoyi talked about "eternal class" in the past. In the past, no matter how prosperous the monks were, it had nothing to do with mortals. A monk is a monk, and a mortal is a mortal.

But now, everything has changed.

After the barrier between "monks and mortals" was gradually broken down, the first to benefit were some small and micro sects. These sects, unlike the top five and many first-class sects, have unwavering ideas about the Tao. Most of the monks who participate in these sects are just fighting for a good background. At most, they hope that their next generation will have a better life. With good educational conditions, one can be admitted to a major school.

They were the first to get involved in business related to mortals, and they became successful.

Zhao Qingtan was a little confused about this step. According to the rules of the Immortal Alliance, all Taoist books and scriptures are uniformly published by the official organization of the Immortal Alliance. As long as it doesn't involve "specific methods", it is almost as cheap as free. Only students who have not yet left the academy would care about which book to buy.

Under this premise...it seems a bit...to find these private booksellers...

"It's useless, right?" Zhao Qingtan said: "I don't think anyone who is not a disciple of Wanfa Sect will come to buy "Original Calculation"... No, most of the disciples of Wanfa Sect can't understand "Original Calculation". Look. Of the half who understand, the other half probably have no interest in reading at all..."

"No, no, at least we have to spread the shop." Su Junyu shook his head: "The disciples of Wanfa Sect come from the people. Let's put it this way, if the reputation of "Original Calculation" is big enough, then some expatriates will just follow the trend. I will also take a look. If there are some potential disciples of Wanfa Sect who are affected by this, it would be better for them to choose our sect after they get started..."

Zhao Qingtan nodded in understanding.

Su Junyu continued: "Furthermore, although the book "Formal Linguistics" is wonderful, you can't tell much just by looking at the title. At most, I think it is a game written by that guy Wang Qi out of boredom. If you leave The official channels of the Xianmeng will only be submerged in the library that is expanding every year. This is the most suitable way to take the folk route - and this book not only has arithmetic parts, but also linguistics parts. It’s more suitable for other people to read. As long as you put it in their hands, they will go away without any special push.”

Zhao Qingtan was a little confused: "Is it so smooth?"

In fact, it went more smoothly than Zhao Qingtan thought.

Just seeing the words "Wang Qi" on the manuscript, those big booksellers put on flattering smiles on their faces.

After knowing that Zhao Qingtan and Su Junyu both had close friendships with Wang Qi, this meaning of "pleasing" became almost substantial.

How can I put it, booksellers also have to survive.

In this world, there are two categories of best-selling books. One type is particularly vulgar, vulgar, vulgar and kitsch, which is almost synonymous with "popularity". At this point, it is the same no matter which civilization.

The other category is teaching assistants and ginseng.

In human immortality, academic performance and cultivation talent are directly linked. And cultivation is linked to power, status, and longevity.

Therefore, Teaching Auxiliary and Teaching Ginseng will always be the best-selling book.

At this point, Wang Qi, who advocates the tactic of writing on the topic, is simply the God of Wealth among booksellers.

Fundamentalists in particular are famous for their "love to raise issues" - at least in the eyes of uninvolved people. Their calculation scriptures such as "Original Calculation" come with a large number of exercises. And the exercise booklets they occasionally leak out can even be sold to high-level monks.

Generally speaking, when private booksellers publish academic monographs, they are almost destined to lose money. But even so, they are willing to cooperate with Wang Qi.

It would be even better if Wang Qi was willing to stand up and speak for their exercise book.

——Of course, Wang Qi himself would not do such a thing. Just kidding, it's one thing to advocate question-sea tactics, but it's another thing to endorse exercise books.

Wang Qi felt that if he endorsed the exercise book, the fundamentalist faction would probably not be able to accept students in the future.

By the way, Master Vander is actually also the one sought after by booksellers. The Radical school and the Snow Country school are currently the two schools that pay the most attention to elementary education and popularization of education. However, the current foundation of the Snow Country Sect is much behind that of the Basic Sect. Master Fan has always dealt with students through the school officials and has not had many dealings with booksellers. These businessmen can't even find a place to flatter themselves.

Therefore, Zhao Qingtan is a piece of cake in their eyes.

It was at this time that Zhao Qingtan realized that among mortals, Wei Cang was actually famous for compiling Mongolian studies.

——How did that boring gourd do it?

He never knew that this fellow student had this ability.

After finalizing the matter, Su Junyu seemed to have completely let go of the matter, and took Zhao Qingtan to play openly in Shenjing, either visiting gardens or entering card stores every day.

Su Junyu said that this is necessary to build momentum.

"Formal Linguistics" can attract the public's attention, but for those great mathematicians, it is just an appetizer.

This branch of mathematics is very narrow and will not attract much attention, but it can attract the attention of Wanfamen.

Now, in Wanfamen, Wang Qi's every move will attract attention.

Zhao Qingtan nodded, just relax and integrate into the atmosphere of Shenjing.

The foreign land is still in the development stage, and the living conditions are much more difficult than here. Zhao Qingtan doesn't like to play too much, but it's okay to relax occasionally.

While the two were playing, the booksellers had already taken intensive action.

On the third day, "Formal Linguistics" was launched simultaneously throughout Shenzhou.

On the fifth day, they even brought some outer disciples of Wanfamen to the platform to promote the benefits of this book.

The influence of this matter is gradually fermenting.

Half a month later, Su Junyu estimated that the earliest readers who bought "Formal Linguistics" had almost finished reading the book.

So, he started the next round of arrangements.

Thirteen lectures in the academy and eleven public lectures. The former is for the students of the academy, while the latter is completely open to the public and anyone can come and listen.

The speech was written by Wang Qi and completed by the Ji faction. It is interesting and substantial, and has a certain degree of incitement.

However, they deliberately avoided giving lectures in the Wanfa Gate.

There is nothing they can do about it. Although Zhao Qingtan has a great reputation, he still cannot control the situation in the Wanfa Gate. He is a newly promoted cultivator in the Refining Void Stage. He is not a strong man in the Wanfa Gate, but he is not weak. He definitely does not have the momentum of "those of the same level as me will definitely not be able to beat me" like Wang Qi did at the beginning.

If he is also a cultivator in the Refining Void Stage, and he secretly kills him before he gives a lecture, it will be embarrassing for him to tell others.

After all, Wang Qi was only a cultivator in the Jindan Stage and above the Yuanshen Stage at the beginning. Even if he had the nerve to attack him, it would not prove anything. At best, "Although Wang Qi is not as strong as the Lianzong cultivator, his words still make some sense."

However, if you stir up a stir outside, it will be different.

If you take the initiative to stand at the forefront of the storm, the monks of the hostile schools may not have the face to challenge you.

After all, no one wants to be labeled as "the one who can't win the argument with reason and can only resort to force".

For the monks of the modern law, this kind of reputational blow is simply fatal.

In this series of work and interviews, Zhao Qingtan also began to admire Su Junyu.

He suddenly discovered that Su Junyu took him to play in Shenjing every day. But in fact, many people he met during the half-month play became helpers in this work.

And in these sermons, Zhao Qingtan also step by step clarified the mathematical picture of the basic school.

From sets to structures, and then from structures to categories.

This is the work that Wang Qi has presided over in recent years.

There are no earth-shattering mathematical problems in these works. In the eyes of the public, it is probably not "interesting" and it is difficult to make a deep impression.

But only mathematicians know the weight of it.

After the contents of those sermons spread, the atmosphere of Wanfamen also changed.

The enthusiasm of the past seemed to disappear - but in fact, it was suppressed.

It was like a volcano about to erupt.

Now, all the disciples of Wanfamen knew what Wang Qi wanted to do.

And there were more people who expected Wang Qi to fall in this matter.

You know, this kind of research has always been composed of countless parts. And if there is a mistake in one part, it means a complete loss.

The original calculation was discontinued because of "incompleteness", which is the reason.

This seems to give many disciples of Wanfamen a strange hope.

- Maybe they can repeat Wang Qi's achievements in the past...

In this mood...

The sixth volume of "Original Calculation" was sold inside Wanfamen.

"The Original Calculation Volume 6" has been released."

The major storage rooms and book buildings of Wanfamen raised such a big banner almost at the same time.

"Original Calculation" does not need the help of those booksellers.

Not many people really go back to buy this kind of arithmetic. It is enough to go through the channel of the Immortal Alliance.

But the momentum accumulated in the previous half a month has focused the attention of all the disciples of Wanfamen.

Almost all the time, there are long queues in front of all the bookstores.

Even the disciples who have just entered the Qi training stage can't wait to come to the bookstore to exchange for an original arithmetic and see it first.

"Tsk tsk tsk, I said it." Su Junyu said: "Now, this is the fastest way."
