Her worries are not completely unreasonable. Newborns are just born with the most vulnerable immune function and their bodies are growing rapidly. At this time, it is not entirely impossible to be in a bad state due to the influence of second-hand smoke. Therefore, Generally, parenting experts and infant doctors will advise parents not to smoke around their children because of this factor.

"I have been smoking for more than 20 or [-] years, how can I quit all at once."

Rowan raised his arm and smelled it on himself, but he didn't find any smell of smoke in his senses.

"Don't waste your time smelling it. How can a long-term smoker smell the smoke on his body, unless he is not smoking the brand he has been used to for a long time!" Lin Yimin's tone was a bit aggressive, obviously asking the staff in charge of sales statistics to be on the first day When the 24-hour sale ends, the statistical data will be sent as soon as possible, but now I wake up the next day and there is no movement.

"At the beginning, I arranged you into Wensi Quanyong in order to be able to relax and relax, but it turned out that you took the initiative to take the burden on yourself. You were too busy last night to go to bed in the early morning, right?"

She sighed and said: "It's not like you don't know what's going on with the company now! It means that Chungang's new work may be a little busy these days when it's launched globally. How can it be like this in normal times? As Chungang's former literary The agent should have a deep understanding."

Luo Wen is not an unreasonable person, he also shook his head, "Understanding is understanding, but I am worried that you are busy with your health, besides, the company is now flourishing under the leadership of Xiaomeng, and the annual dividends alone are enough for us to eat and drink. Don't worry, I really don't understand why you have to go to work, wouldn't it be good to be a full-time wife at home with peace of mind?"

"About my going to work, didn't we agree not to discuss it before?"

"Okay, okay~ I was quick to talk, I'm sorry!"

God knows how long the two had been arguing over this issue. Anyway, he couldn't figure it out anyway. How could it be that before and after childbirth, it seemed like a completely different person.

"you……"

While the two were talking, Lin Yimin's cell phone suddenly remembered with a ding, and the words that had already reached her throat were immediately forgotten. She didn't care about talking to her husband, but quickly clicked on these messages, and then laughed happily : "It's finally here! Within 24 hours of the first day of "Lord of the Rings"'s first release, the 6 million copies of the first print in China were almost sold out, and overseas was even more grand than ever. This is sure to be another bestseller! That kind!"

Luo Wen was also elated when he heard about it. Speaking of which, he was also a "witness" who watched Zhichun Zhigang go all the way. He was more convinced than anyone else that Li Chungang would succeed, but he didn't expect that the other party would be able to do so in such a way. In a short period of time, he has become famous all over the world, which reminded him of a sentence he often said: ""

"Let's go out to have a meal together to celebrate tonight." Luo Wen's mouth was full of toothpaste foam, "It's a pity that the Lord is not here."

"No problem. After the book is released, it has nothing to do with us."

Man Jinghua Publishing Company is the most concerned about sales, word of mouth, and evaluation of these things!

Mornings are always a peak time for ebook sales, especially with many of us going to bed early.

It is impossible for them to buy immediately after midnight, but they choose to go to bed first, and then spend money to buy after waking up.

Now in the Amazon Lily e-book section, "The Lord of the Rings" has already ranked first in the e-book sales list!

Although no specific sales figures can be seen, as a new book, it has more than 300 million consumers who have written reviews in a very short period of time, and most of these people have not finished the book.

The top works in the columns such as Sales Soaring Ranking, New Book Sales Ranking, Focus of the Week, and Recommendations for You are all "Lord of the Rings" without exception.

There are not too many people who use Amazon to buy e-books in China, and Douban, Qigou and many e-book platforms are also on sale.

You can also search for "The Lord of the Rings" on Longteng Chinese website, but it is divided into the special area of ​​the mall. It does not need to subscribe to each chapter like the novels on the website, but the entire physical book Buy.

It is obviously a place where I read online articles, but it sells published physical books.

Who made Li Chungang not only a published author, but also a well-known platinum god of online literature, so the support of online literature readers accounted for the vast majority.

Ao Yeran felt that he must have run into a ghost!

A few days before the official release, various posts emerged in various forums every day, and the number of active people was very large.

However, it is officially on sale, and logically speaking, there should be more people discussing it.

But not only Li Chungang's official forum is dead silent, there are very few new posts, and the comments on old posts are basically auto-reply robots who come to advertise, and the same goes for popular software including Weibo, , Tieba, and Douyin. It is a state of "calm and calm". Anyone who is not stupid will understand that this is just the calm before the real storm.

"Where did everyone go? Did you stay up all night reading and didn't get up?"

As a community worker who can enjoy the leisure time on weekends and weekends and also serves as the copyright manager of Li Chungang's official forum "Gossip World", Ao Yeran at this time said that he was so cold that he didn't even have an actionable post (dei ).

Of course he also wants to watch "The Lord of the Rings", but he accidentally wrote the harvest address of the pre-sale at Manjinghua Publishing Company as a unit. Take a trip to the community guard room to get it home.

Originally, I wanted to read the discussions of the readers in the forum, even if it was spoiled, I would not hesitate.

He has such a fearless spirit of seeing death as home, but the readers are too weak. The originally lively forum is actually only three or two kittens who did not get the book due to personal reasons like himself. The group of active guys from , are nowhere to be seen, but they usually appear wherever there are new posts.

"Hey, I'll just buy an electronic version too, it's more support for first-hand sales."

Ao Yeran took out the Huawei e-reader T62W that had been dusty for a long time, and paid for "Lord of the Rings" in Huawei's own e-book store, only to find that the e-reader looks like a real e-book Just like reading a book, the simulated page turning will also emit the same effect sound as a real book turning!

He silently praised this thoughtful design from the bottom of his heart, paying attention to the details of user experience is the most important factor that can reflect the quality of a product.

Opening the "Lord of the Rings" e-book solemnly, Ao Yeran gracefully took a sip of the freshly brewed

But just looking at it, his brows have never been loosened!

He originally thought that "The Lord of the Rings" would be an interesting story to read, but when he really read it, he felt... He never expected that it would be so boring!

If this is placed in the category of online articles, it is estimated that more than [-] to [-]% of readers will be discouraged just by reading the previous content.

In the past, Li Chungang's works were very attractive, even the overhead historical works such as "Kyushu Misty Records" can attract people, and the opening chapter of "Sword Lay", which seemed extremely depressed in the early stage, also has moving details that are subtle.

But this flamboyant "Lord of the Rings" is so boring that people want to abandon the book!

"My God, shouldn't this be!?"

Ao Yeran felt that he continued to read the content entirely by relying on his trust in Li Chungang. If the author's name was covered up, the money would be refunded early in the morning.

He vaguely felt that something was wrong. Could it be said that the book "The Lord of the Rings" would become the work of Waterloo that broke the undefeated golden stature of the Great God Chungang?

"Even if you are in a hurry to write it, you can't write such content. It's purely consuming readers. Is this floating after earning enough money?"

This book feels like setting up a world, and the early writing is very trivial.

The first tens of thousands of characters are all about the customs, personalities, and grievances of the Hobbits living in the Shire. Isn’t it just a birthday banquet for a centenarian?

As for the shape of Gandalf's fireworks, does it take pen and ink to describe it?

Large sections of the environment and background in the book are just laying out, and the plot advances very slowly, so it is difficult to immerse yourself in it in a short time.

Ao Yeran didn't understand whether this was Li Chungang's special arrangement, or whether it was his own.

He only knew that his patience might not be enough. If there is no improvement after reading tens of thousands of words later, he probably really can't stand it anymore.

Fortunately, through side descriptions, he finally knew that this hobbit named "Bilbo Baggins" was different from other hobbits. He seemed to have gone out on adventures when he was young, and now he became a well-known person.

"Could it be a flashback narrative technique? Next, I guess it will talk about his adventures when he was young."

At the same time, countless people who were reading "The Lord of the Rings", like Ao Yeran, thought that this story was about Bilbo.

However, when Gandalf, the famous white-robed wizard in the world of Middle-earth, arrived, when the Lord of the Rings in the title of the book appeared for the first time...

They suddenly realized that they were short!Short experience! ! !

Anyone who reads online articles knows that the protagonist usually has a golden finger. This does not mean that the finger is made of gold, but generally refers to a unique thing that only the protagonist possesses. It is a "cheating tool" given to the protagonist by the author.

It could be a ring with the soul of the grandfather hidden inside, a powerful artifact, the ability to travel through various planes, or various systems.

So will the "Lord of the Rings" in this new book be such a golden finger?

What exactly does it do?

As I said at the beginning, elves, dwarves, and humans all have different numbers of rings, and on top of these rings there is the Supreme Lord of the Rings, which can imprison the rest of the rings.

When Ao Yeran saw the hobbit Bilbo arguing with the wizard Gandalf because of the ring, he thought that there was going to be a plot where friends turned against each other and murdered for treasure.

But in the next second, I vaguely realized that there seemed to be something wrong with this ring!

In addition to the most basic stealth function, it will also cause a subtly depraved temptation to the holder, just like those magical treasures in Xianxia that can lead people astray.

"So that's where the name Lord of the Rings comes from? It has magical powers, and magic is a pun!"

Bilbo, a centenarian, left the ring to his young nephew Frodo and went on the road alone.

Reading the book "The Lord of the Rings" cannot be like reading an online article. Sometimes even if you swallow it whole, it will not affect your reading experience of the following content. It must be read carefully. The plots are all in your mind, so that when you see the following plots, you will have a feeling of sudden enlightenment.

If you can't even remember the plot and details, you won't have a strong sense of echoing the plot later.

It is a pity that the electronic version does not come with a map of the entire Middle-earth world, otherwise the whole reading experience will be improved by comparing it with the map.

The rhythm is very slow, but Ao Yeran no longer feels boring, on the contrary, the more he looks back, the more fascinated he is!

Chapter 578 Taste, You Taste Carefully

What really makes the whole storyline start to be completely different is because——

The wizard Gandalf, who had been away for many years, returned to Shire, and at the same time he brought the relevant information of the Lord of the Rings!

Not beyond everyone's expectations, this is indeed a ring with magic power, but this kind of magic power is extremely dangerous.

People who hold the Lord of the Rings can live forever, but this is not an increase in lifespan, but only the immortality of the body!

Although the Lord of the Rings has the function of invisibility, if you use this function for a long time, you will gradually be swallowed by the darkness, so that you will be permanently invisible, and you will be controlled by the Lord of the Rings under the temptation of evil forces.

No matter how kind and strong people are, they can't resist the erosion of the dark forces day by day!

Just like the saying that is widely circulated in the reader circle: While you are staring at the abyss, the abyss is also staring at you.

"No wonder Bilbo talked to his old friend in that tone before. It turns out that his mind has been affected by the Lord of the Rings. But he can resist the temptation of the Lord of the Rings and leave the ring to his nephew. Very rare. I don't know where a mere hobbit got the ring, and kept it quietly for so many years."

After the protagonist in the online novel gets the golden finger, he usually thinks about how to use it to achieve his own goals.

However, Frodo and Gandalf in "The Lord of the Rings" are actually discussing how to destroy the Supreme Lord of the Rings!

As a reader, Ao Yeran couldn't understand that even if the Lord of the Rings would have a negative impact on the wearer, it wouldn't be destroyed, right?

What's more, if you want to destroy it, you have to go to the distant Mordor. Isn't this full of food?

It is better to live than to die. You may not have this feeling when you are young, but when your body function is gradually fading, when your appearance is getting old, when you can't even do a simple thing, you will realize that How tempting it is to live forever.

Unknowingly, Ao Yeran was attracted by the description, which was somewhat different from the fantasy stories he had read before.

The protagonist doesn't seem to have any special abilities, and the reading doesn't have much storytelling, tens of thousands of words are still chatting!

Through the dialogues of different people, you can simply understand the past, present and future of the world in this book.

"It's really interesting."

Ao Yeran rubbed his sore eyes, if it wasn't for such a long time of high-intensity eye use, he couldn't stand it, he didn't realize that he just watched it for more than an hour in one breath.

Is this still the self who felt that the previous content was boring and would abandon the book after reading a little more?

As a small moderator in the forum, he is used to refreshing the forum almost every hour to check the situation, so that he can manage the forum as well as possible.

Compared with the previous depression, there are many more active people now!

The number of readers talking about the plot has gradually increased. It is estimated that people who are diving at this moment can't help but want to float up to take a breath.

[After I got the book yesterday, I saw it in one breath, it's cool!It's as refreshing as drinking frozen fat house happiness in hot summer!It's just a bit of an eyesore. 】

【It’s so boring at the beginning and I can’t watch it anymore. Can anyone who took out something older than me tell me where the fun starts. 】

[The protagonist is unexpectedly weak, so hurry up and kill those black knights! 】

[It makes me angry, is this written by the Great God Chungang?Why is the pace so slow, it's a waste of my time and money! 】

[The protagonist is actually going to destroy the Lord of the Rings. Could it be that he was limped by Gandalf? 】

[Mom, when I read the previous page, I wanted to turn to the last page to see the ending countless times. 】

[Everyone be patient, the back is really attractive, this is no ordinary fantasy, this is an epic! 】

【…】

There are many doubts in it, and there are too many things waiting for readers to discover.

Where is the Lonely Mountain, what is the Battle of the Five Armies, Bilbo picked up the Lord of the Rings from a strange creature, and this world called Middle-earth actually gave birth to such a wonderful and complete magnificent epic history!

It is different from traditional online literature, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the opposite.

However, Li Chungang made "Lord of the Rings" accepted by the majority of netizens. As long as you can restrain your temper and pay more attention to the content, you will fall in love with it unconsciously.

This is not very similar to his previous style. It is not so much a fantasy novel as an academic work with a story and a plot.

The structure is very rigorous, the progress of the chapters is under control, the history of the characters is narrated, the thinking is very clear, the whole clues are numerous but not disorderly, as long as you keep reading, you can understand the story!

Many people read a book or watch a movie only a few minutes before trying to figure out what's going on behind the scenes, saying what they don't understand and so on.

If you can really understand it in such a short time, it will be hell!

It is impossible for any work to let you know everything behind it at the beginning, even if it has the ending in front of you, but the cause and process need to be unfolded slowly.

There are many fantasy themes, surreal elements or fantasy elements, conceive a grand story in this overhead world!

It's just that "The Lord of the Rings" can justify itself, and all aspects of the strange race created by the Hobbit can make people believe that it is true, and it has a long history, dating back many, many years ago.

Personal heroism is inevitable in fantasy, even Harry Potter is the savior of the wizarding world and the nemesis of Voldemort.

In The Lord of the Rings, the protagonist is just a hobbit. This dwarf with big feet doesn’t seem to have a strong physique, nor does he have superb witchcraft, and he doesn’t have any advantages in tactics. He is so ordinary. pole!

If he has any advantages, it may be that he has a legendary uncle who inherited the Supreme Lord of the Rings from his uncle.
