Chapter 186: The Eve of Publication (Below)

  I read (no pop-up full text)

  Beyond expectation, expecting Su Shi's shocking and astonishing words once again.

  "The Matrix" has surpassed "Earth's End" in terms of sales, popularity and word-of-mouth. Hmm, I hadn't thought about this before, you suddenly asked me this question, and I really don't know how to answer it." Su Xichen rubbed his chin, actually he was only eighteen years old and didn't have a beard, but somehow had the habit of pinching his chin.

  Listening to Su Shichen's first half of the game, the reporter's heart is cool. How can it be different after three years? Thinking back to when "Slam Dunk" and "Football Heart" were competing, Su Shichen's words were so sharp, "You're still far behind!" Although he didn't lower his hat brim and switch hands from right to left, the six short words left no room for mercy.

  In the end, "Slam Dunk" indeed surpassed "Captain Tsubasa" in terms of popularity, word of mouth and sales.

  Now that it's been three years, is this really the end? Won't what comes next just be Su Ruo Chen and Yuan Ju mutually flattering each other in a boring routine?

  For media reporters, life does not need to be calm, life is about explosive points, just like the sentence in Dena's definition that has been regarded as a golden saying by many news media workers, from which we can deeply see that news needs to be strange and have explosive points.

  Among the many disappointed journalists, Su Release continued to say "Look deeply into your own heart, you will find that all miracles come from within yourself. Your inner self must maintain 200% confidence in your work. No matter how many times this question is asked, my answer is always that 'The Matrix' surpasses '2012' in three aspects. One's faith in oneself cannot be shaken at all."

  "Su author, don't you think your answer is somewhat disdainful towards the original author?" a reporter blurted out.

  "Underestimation, haha." Su Shichen smiled and shook his head. "Strategically underestimate your opponent, tactically take them seriously. This is what a rational person should do." What Su Shichen said was flawless.

  Su Xichen is as spirited and confident as he was three years ago, but his words are more mature now. Three years ago, Su Xichen's words were straightforward, but they also left many flaws. Today, this speech is sharp and flawless, a sign of progress.

  Media reporters have no choice but to make do, fortunately there are still some good news, deleting and misdirecting a bit of Su's speech earlier can still be made into an explosive news.

  "I heard from Professor Yang that you, author Su, are going to publish a collection of poems? Is this true? Should we start calling you Poet Su from now on?"

  A reporter suddenly came up with such a question, Su poet? How to listen to it sounds like Su dead person. This is very unlucky, and the news of these reporters comes from where, the poetry collection is still in its infancy and they have all received the news, indeed the paparazzi are the strongest information network.

  "This reporter has overstepped a bit. Just now it was already time for questions about The Matrix, I said roughly that I wouldn't answer."

  "Can't you just reveal a little bit of information, just a little? What kind of poetry collection is it? Is it a regulated verse or free verse, or perhaps a rhyming poem?" The reporter who asked this question was very persistent and continued to press for an answer.

  "There's no square without rules, these questions can be discussed later, but for now, I can only ask about the Matrix." Su Xichen was resolute in his refusal to answer, because he knew that as soon as he opened this topic, all sorts of unrelated questions would flood in, and he couldn't let this grand new book launch be ruined by his own hands.

  "Sue, you said that your new book 'Hacker Empire' will subvert many people's worldview. Does this mean that this new book is very innovative and different from other science fiction books on the market?"

  This reporter's question is a trap. If Su Ruo Chen says yes, it would show a rhythm of "everybody is drunk but I am sober". This map cannon has been fired a bit too widely and almost bombed all science fiction writers on the market.

  But if your answer is no, then what you just said was nonsense. By the way, I encountered many such difficult-to-answer questions today, is it a coincidence?

  "Before answering this question, I'd like to ask the reporter a question first," Su Xichen said. "Judging from your appearance, you should be over 30 years old, are you married?"

  "Of course I'm married, and the kids are all nine years old now." Sighing that the children have some small pride, this is a common problem for parents.

  "Nine years and nine months is great, whether it's a boy or a girl."

  "Of course it's a boy." The reporter was so excited that he didn't even use Mandarin and directly blurted out his local dialect.

  "One last question, is this boy the most lively and clever in your heart?" This is a nearly rhetorical question, one's own son is of course the cleverest and liveliest in their eyes.

  "Of course." The reporter's tone suddenly changed, not letting Su Yuechen continue, but instead said "Please don't ask these boring questions. Mr. Su, please answer my previous question. Your new book can subvert people's perception of time, is this different from other books on the market?"

  "Actually, you've already answered that just now," Su Xichen smiled faintly, pursing his lips. "Every book an author writes is like their own child. Maybe the sales aren't as good as others', just like how a parent's child may not have grades as good as others', but in the eyes of the parents and authors, their own children are always the most unique and best. So I'll respond to this reporter friend with one sentence: stop asking these boring questions."

  "Alright, this is the legendary 'using his own method to return it to him' that Su Rui Chen learned from countless online flame wars in her past life. It's just a super powerful skill, but in her past life on Earth, Su Rui Chen didn't have the guts to use it in reality, and yet in this life she brought this skill into reality."

  In the heat of an argument or a quarrel, the best approach is not to take the moral high ground and launch an attack, which can easily lead to people becoming defensive. Moreover, not everyone will buy into this tactic.

  Using the other person's words to counterattack is the best method, just like Su Rui Chen now, that reporter was stunned and speechless.

  With this example, the next question will be much more normal, at least there won't be any more embarrassing or difficult situations for Su Xichen. The new book launch event took a long time to conduct, and after dealing with the reporters, it was an activity with book fans. This new book launch couldn't compare to other events with 35,000 people, wanting to please everyone was not an easy task. The fan activity lasted about three or four hours, exhausting Su Xichen.

  "This new book launch is quite glorious but the interaction was too difficult, exhausting to death." Su Xichen stretched his body, and his joints made a cracking sound.

  "Big Brother (Su Ge)……” The first voice was much softer, while the second voice was much louder. The way they addressed each other was also different. Just by listening, you could tell who these two people were - Yi Chen's middle school classmates, Liu Liuli and Bai Yanzou.

  "What's up, isn't today very boring? There's no concert to have fun with." This is Su Xianchen's view. In the entire new book launch conference, one-fifth of the time was spent on the host and guests' Q&A session, another one-fifth of the time was spent on journalists asking questions, and the remaining three-fifths were spent interacting with more than 30,000 fans at the scene. The fan interaction included a few small games that were somewhat interesting, but overall it was very boring.

  "Of course not," said Bai Yan, vetoing with a resolute tone. Liu QiQi also shook her head vigorously.

  "This is going to be fun! Today we're sitting in the front row, this is a VIP seat, we can see everything clearly. Su Ge, you were just like Zhuge Liang debating with a group of heroes, super awesome!" Bai Yan Zou's eyes almost sparkled with stars, and it was only because of Su Shi Chen that they could get these front-row seats, which he had arranged for them earlier this morning.

  "Huh? Is this the prize you got?" Su Xichen looked at Liu Feifei holding a big pile of gifts in her arms and couldn't help but ask.

  "Hmm..." Liu Qi's ears turned bright red.

  "Su Ge, you don't know that Qi Qi super likes reading your books. Just now during the prize quiz, Qi Qi was only one question away from taking first place."

  There is a prize for guessing, this is an interactive segment, all the questions are written by Su Lei Chen himself, there are 100 of them in total. They must be completed within the allotted time and cannot use any props, relying solely on one's own brain. Among the more than 30,000 spectators present, anyone can participate as long as they don't mind using up their brain cells. These questions are all closely related to Su Lei Chen himself, such as what is the name of Sherlock Holmes' brother, what are the four schools of tomb raiding, whose treasure is the Tiandi Xuanhuang Pagoda... and so on.

  Those who can get into the top ten must be his die-hard book fans. Last time I saw Liu Keke, this little loli didn't even know what books he had written, and now she has become a die-hard fan after reading all of his books in just a short period of time.

  "Didn't you say last time that you hadn't read my book?"

  "Ever since I met big brother that time, I bought the whole set and watched it several times." Liu QiQi said in a low voice, just as Su ShiChen had thought.

  For this time, Su Shuangchen felt tired and bored, but the two little loli were very satisfied. Liu Keke got the prize, and Bai Yanzou thought it was great, especially with her expression of returning home like an arrow, it seems that she has the capital to want to brag about it in class.

  The new book "Hacker Empire" was successfully released, but in fact, Su Xincheng received a message that the original intention of choosing to hold a new book release on the same day as him was to defeat Su Xincheng in terms of attention. The original had an advantage that Su Xincheng did not have, and that was his older brother, Yuan Pan.

  The original disk has a very wide relationship network in the writer's association, so for the release of Yu Jing's new book this time, Yuan Pan has invited many friends from the writer's association. In comparison, Su Xuan Chen only had one guest, Ji Wen, and Wang Ni had four guests, which was indeed too shabby. The new book release conference was originally a sure thing, but unexpectedly, the "Black Hacker Empire" release conference caused such a big stir and created such a big scene.

  Holding a new book launch on the same day was Yu's biggest mistake...

  The book has not been released yet and the battle has already begun, tomorrow two books will be released at the same time, I don't know what kind of battle will be stirred up...(Please search for 5du5, updated faster!)
