At this time, a chief editor also raised his hand and said.
“It’s hard to say about Amazon and offline bookstores.”
"I have done some preliminary research on our official store, and although the return rate is a bit high..."
"But the data are basically reasonable..."
"..."
“But that doesn’t mean other channels don’t exist!”
"We cannot rule out this suspicion. I suggest that we stop printing more copies of "Four Lies"!"
Some editors gloat over other people's misfortune.
Editor-in-chief Kagurazaka suddenly became anxious and stood up and wanted to argue with the other party.
"..."
Editor-in-Chief Suzuki raised his head and glared at both sides!
Raise your hands to signal them to quiet down!
Then he continued to look at his computer. The discussion area was refreshing at a high speed and the messages kept moving up.
"I don't think "Four Lies" is very good. Dengeki Bunko misjudged its level!"
"Maybe defeating the Yamada fairy and being noticed by Director Ikuhara is just sheer luck!"
"No, for a work of this level, you say it's luck, you're just unlucky and can't write it!"
"Even if he wasn't lucky before!"
"Eight major literary libraries and three first-line writers published books at the same time. How could a newcomer like him achieve such a high score on the Oricon list?"
"And he didn't reveal his identity, and he didn't even hold a public autograph session. As the new king of electric shock, don't you think this is suspicious?"
Some people even opened a market on the forum using the forum currency.
Betting on whether "Four Lies" has inflated sales...
The gambling money on the "YES" side soared rapidly and soon broke through 100,000 forum coins!
Although there are more than 30,000 on the "NO" side.
But 30,000 of them were invested by a person named "TAKI"!
"..."
Editor-in-Chief Suzuki didn't pay much attention to this matter.
But he soon saw the next popular post, which was ranked very high and seemed to be posted by a high school student named TAKI.
"TAKI... is he the one who invested 30,000 forum coins..."
He is a fairly famous otaku high school student in the forum.
Mainly known for recommending some unpopular but high-quality light novels, comics and games...
Editor-in-Chief Suzuki took a careful look at the post.
"Hello everyone, I'm your otaku friend TAKI!"
"As a light novel enthusiast, I have a very picky eye, and ordinary works really don't catch my eye!"
“But there is no doubt that Four Lies is an extremely excellent new work in May, given its fame and popularity!”
"If you walk around the school, you'll know how popular it is!"
"And if you've seen this work yourself, you'll know it's definitely on the same level as Senjumura Masaru's 'Fantasy Demon Sword Legend'!"
"He absolutely, absolutely, absolutely cannot possibly inflate sales!"
"For this, I am willing to stake my forum coins to give justice to "Four Lies"!"
"..."
Editor-in-Chief Suzuki didn't have much of a reaction.
Soon, some very strange comments appeared below.
"Delete it now, brother, I didn't get 'Four Lies'!"
Besides that!
The term "cunning Four Lie" readers also frequently appeared in the comment section.
Editor-in-Chief Suzuki's heart skipped a beat!
Suddenly a strange idea came into his mind...
He closed his eyes and thought for a moment.
Then he immediately looked towards Kagurazaka:
"Kagurazaka, you write the report and I'll approve the note!"
"Please suspend other projects of the publishing house for the time being and continue to urgently reprint "Four Lies" with all your strength."
"..."
Immediately, he saw the previous post for placing a bet.
But just then!
"I bet 50000 forum coins that the sales of "Four Lies" are definitely not fake!" An account named Yamada Fairy suddenly left a message.
The post instantly caused a sensation!
However, after placing the bet, the other party went offline.
"..."
Editor-in-Chief Suzuki smiled and also clicked "NO"!
This account is not used frequently and there are not many forum coins, but he still put all his forum coins, more than 10,000, into it.
"Stud is a kind of wisdom!"
"..."
The next morning, after washing up.
Gao Chuanshuo started eating breakfast!
I took out my phone and read today's news...
He found that "Four Lies" was particularly popular and was very popular in many forums.
There were even quite a few media outlets who were already live-streaming and squatting downstairs at Dengeki Bunko before the Ministry of Justice arrived, waiting to get first-hand information.
Sure enough, there are many people who eat melons in every world...
Even as the second day's sales time approached, Gao Chuanshuo discovered that the number of comments criticizing "Four Lies" on the Internet had begun to increase dramatically.
It is on the verge of reaching the top.
I even saw Kasumigaoka Utaha on INS also criticizing "Four Lies"?
Gao Chuanshuo was shocked!
He took a screenshot and sent it to Kasumigaoka Utaha:
"Are you darkening?"
"It's not that I'm evil, my friend said that it's easier to grab the Four Lies this way. Now I'm also a cunning reader of The Four Lies..."
"What's so good about this? In fact, it will be easy to buy after a few days when sales reach saturation."
Kasumigaoka Utaha: "Who can wait a few days? I want to grab it now!"
Gao Chuanshuo: "I will mail you a sample copy signed by the author. It should be the only one before the second volume is released."
"Really?"
"Of course, we are friends. Just return a copy of your new book to me when it goes on sale."
“I feel that “Love Metronome” is totally inferior to “Four Lies”…”
"It's okay, we are friends."
"Just friends?"
"Why, you're greedy for my body too?"
"..."
After fermenting overnight.
It has to be said that with the help of the sales-boosting incident, "Four Lies" received huge online attention!
As to whether the sales of "Four Lies" were inflated?
Even if you are not from the light novel industry, your curiosity is attracted!
Even today, "Four Lies" is about to go on sale for the second time!
Law enforcement officers from the Ministry of Justice also set off in a hurry!
On the way to the electric shock library for testing, there were many live broadcasts from the media and personnel from the eight major libraries following behind.
Along the way, many media outlets hyped up the incident.
What are you saying?
"We must give justice to the Oricon List. We will not allow such people to challenge the authority of the Oricon List!"
Seeing this, the law enforcement officer had no choice but to stand up and say:
"Before the review results come out, I hope everyone will not rush to judge..."
"But we must punish those who violate the law and enforce the law strictly!"
"But don't worry, if Dengeki Bunko really finds any illegal activities, our Ministry of Justice will not waste taxpayers' money and do nothing like the Metropolitan Police Department!"
"..."
At this time, a LINE community called [Teacher Ikaros Support Group]!
They also saw the live broadcast of the event.
"Those media outlets have badly criticized "Four Lies". Should we attack their tower?"
"No, this is a great opportunity. Let's continue to criticize "Four Lies"!"
"This...Now that "Four Lies" has been so bad, do we still need to blacken him?"
"So do you think "Four Lies" has been brushed?"
"Of course there isn't any loyal fans. The cancellation rate is getting lower and lower. Now it's probably less than 30%. Those who haven't cancelled their orders are basically the death of various fan groups. How can it be faked!"
"Then let them investigate without worry. We will continue to blackmail "Four Lies" and steal books. We will be cunning readers of "Four Lies". Afterwards, they will know who the idiot is!"
"I don't think it's going to be used much. The official said that after the emergency reprinting last night, today's online and offline sales will be more than double yesterday's, a total of 80,000 copies!"
"More and more people are seeing through our actions. The term cunning Four Lies reader seems to be gaining popularity now."
"Although 40,000 copies will be available online this time...Have you forgotten the tragic scene yesterday when the page froze and all the copies were sold out?"
"If you can't grab it today, you'll have to wait another day!"
"I understand. Stop talking. I'm going to hack "Four Lies" right now and try to get it today. I can't wait even a day!"
"..."
Dengeki Bunko at this moment!
Although we have to accept the review of the Ministry of Justice, we cannot stop the work at hand.
After arranging the sales tasks, they quickly came to receive law enforcement officers from the Ministry of Law and other media and library personnel.
Although their hearts are as clear as a mirror!
But I still couldn't help but feel nervous when facing the security guards, in case they really found something strange during the inspection.
That will have a big impact on them!
Because checking takes time!
