Chapter 646 - 612: I, Chu Kuang, Make Money_1



"Chu Kuang!"

This name alone implies a terrifying foundation!

Apart from the newly merged Han Continent.

In Qin, Qi, Chu, Yan, Chu Kuang is as brilliant as a golden signboard!

Turns out, Chu Kuang has grown so powerful that just by announcing a new book, there will be countless readers willing to buy it...

Chu Kuang is at a disadvantage from the start?

Absolutely wrong!

In fact, it’s David who is at a natural disadvantage!

Choosing Chu Kuang as his opponent in the Literary Duel, he must face Chu Kuang’s omniscient market position in the readers’ hearts across the four continents of Qin, Qi, Chu, and Yan!

This is a solid foundation laid by Chu Kuang after years of hard work!

This foundation is far beyond comparison with half of "Legend of the Sea"!

The fact that Amazon sold out a million copies of "Alice in Wonderland" in the blink of an eye is the best proof of Chu Kuang’s appeal in the book market! @@novelbin@@

Ning Yi suddenly thought of a phrase:

[In the face of absolute strength, any schemes and trickery are meaningless.]

In order to catch Chu Kuang off guard, David has been too cunning.

But David and even Han Continent, and in fact, everyone has underestimated Chu Kuang’s appeal to readers.

Shook his head back to reality.

Ning Yi immediately contacted Silver Blue Books to talk business.

Such frenzy over this pre-sale!

At the same time.

A slew of news!

Swept the internet in an instant!

"Shocking! The new fairy tale by Chu Kuang, a million copies sold out in fifteen minutes!"

"Amazon’s pre-sales for Chu Kuang’s new book, one million in stock instantly snapped up by netizens!"

"How terrifying is Chu Kuang’s market appeal: one million new books sold out in just fifteen minutes?"

"Chu Kuang’s new book is selling like hotcakes on Amazon. The site almost crashes due to the large number of pre-orders!"

"The level of anticipation for Chu Kuang’s new book breaks records!"

"..."

The media’s reaction is swift!

The news that just happened on Amazon is being reported simultaneously by major media outlets!

Boom!

Seeing this news, netizens had the same reaction as Ning Yi.

Stunned!

A full million copies sold out in fifteen minutes?

This is too terrifying!

This is just an online pre-sale!

People buying the book don’t even know what is written in it!

They just know that the author is Chu Kuang!

With enough stock, what would the level of pre-sales be?

"It’s crazy!"

"There have been similar pre-sale events for novels in the book market before, but none have been as ruthless as this one!"

"Chu Kuang’s appeal is against the heavens!"

"Has the old rascal become this awesome?"

"I was worried earlier about the old rascal losing the Literary Duel, given David’s pre-existing heat from "Legend of the Sea", but now it looks like that bit of David’s prior work’s heat doesn’t mean shit compared to Chu Kuang’s big name!"

"The reaction to this pre-sale just slaps David in the face!"

"Chu Kuang doesn’t need to write a sequel to "Shuke and Beta". He simply needs to release a new book to attract countless readers flocking in!"

"In short, there’s just one thing to say:"

"I, Chu Kuang, am making money!"

"..."

This summary is too apt!

It is crude and unreasonable!

It’s basically the "I, Chu Kuang, am making money" series!

It seems like people don’t care how Chu Kuang’s new book is, "Alice in Wonderland" hasn’t revealed any related content about the novel.

People are buying the book purely for the name "Chu Kuang".

This highlights a brainless behavior!

The netizens who wanted to pre-order but found Amazon had sold out smiled bitterly:

"I selfishly thought that Chu Kuang’s new book couldn’t be that bad, so I decided to pre-order it online, but guess what, it seems like the whole world had the same idea as me!"

"Amazon must be dumbfounded by this round, right?"

"This tells me one thing: any random trash story, as long as the author is Chu Kuang, there will be countless readers like me who will buy it without a second thought."

"May David’s mental shadow area increase manifold!"

"I saw that ’Alice in Wonderland’ was available for pre-order, and my first reaction was to buy it right away. It seems everyone else had the exact same thought."

"..."

Silver Blue Books was quick to react, immediately promising more orders to Amazon.

Meanwhile, Amazon’s programmers were working overtime to stabilize a website server that was on the brink of crashing due to excessive traffic.

When people refreshed Amazon’s pre-order page, they found that pre-orders were able to continue...

It was a presale volume of another million copies!

Actually, Amazon could allow unlimited amounts for pre-orders. After all, they could get more stock from Silver Blue Books at any time.

But Amazon was playing a clever trick:

They wanted to use pre-order numbers to stimulate spending, giving netizens a sense of urgency, as if everything would be sold out if they didn’t hurry and place a pre-order...

That’s right.

It wasn’t their intention to use scarcity marketing before.

But this time they were genuinely using scarcity marketing!

The effect was obviously great.

The second batch of a million copies was quickly sold out again!

Netizens who successfully placed orders even posted screenshots to show off, spreading the news on social media like their story feed or friend circles, etc.

Readers who failed to secure a pre-order urged for the website to "restock."

Restock?

Amazon didn’t have anything physical to restock.

This was a pre-order! The physical novels haven’t even been printed yet.

The so-called "restocking" was just Amazon placing yet even larger orders with Silver Blue Books...

Meanwhile, other online book vendors belatedly realized what was happening. Jealous and seeing red, they quickly contacted Silver Blue Books to place orders.

They wanted to do pre-sales of Chu Kuang’s new release game too!

He, Chu Kuang, was stealing...

...all the money!

Silver Blue Books didn’t turn anyone away.

They weren’t exclusive to Amazon after all.

With the other major online book vendors also starting pre-sales for ’Alice in Wonderland’, the scarcity marketing finally couldn’t continue.

In the following days...

The pre-sale craze for Chu Kuang’s new book began to sweep the globe!

Qi Continent: Buy!

Chu Continent: Buy, buy!

Qin Continent: Buy, buy, buy!

Yan Continent: Buy, buy, buy, buy! Enjoy exclusive adventures from NovelBin.Côm

Han Continent: To buy, or not to buy?

Statistics showed that the most orders were coming from the Yan Continent!

This was completely at odds with the sales distribution from Chu Kuang’s past works!

Chu Kuang’s previous works were most popular in Qin Continent.

Because Chu Kuang is a Qin native, he was most famous in the Qin Continent.

He had established a solid foundation in Qin Continent long before the merger.

Compared to this...

Chu Kuang was noticeably less popular in the Qi, Chu, and Yan Continents than in the Qin Continent.

But this time, the buying power from the Yan Continent was even stronger than that of the Qin people!

This indicated that the Yan People really hoped for Chu Kuang to win. They were avidly supporting Chu Kuang through their actions!

Clearly, the Yan people had been seriously irritated by previous mockery from the Han Continent!

"After all this drama, has the Han Continent inadvertently boosted Chu Kuang’s popularity?"

Seeing this scene, everyone in the fairy tale circles across the continents was left gawking.

David’s invitation to the literary duel had inadvertently turned the Yan People into Chu Kuang’s main supporters!

Earlier, while David had been carefully plotting against Chu Kuang at every turn,

Chu Kuang’s response, in the eyes of many, was merely to overcome all obstacles head-on, in a crude and straightforward manner.

But now, some people speculated that perhaps Chu Kuang was actually a master schemer himself.

He was playing a much larger game with David, and his chess skills appeared to surpass even David’s.

While David, along with Bai Jie and the first half of ’Legend of the Ocean’, had clearly had the upper hand.

Chu Kuang, through this literary duel, had practically made the entire Yan Continent’s market work in his favor!

Prior to this, due to Chu Kuang’s previous feat of single-handedly suppressing the Yan Continent’s fairy tale world, the Yan People had harbored all sorts of negativity towards him.

Now, he had completely resolved the grudges in the hearts of the Yan People, turning them into his most devoted followers.

Could all of this really be a coincidence?

"This move by Chu Kuang, what level is he really playing at?"
