Chapter 959: Chapter 890 JingRong’s Romance (First Update) Chapter 959: Chapter 890 JingRong’s Romance (First Update) Is there enough stock to sell?

Of course there isn’t enough to sell!

The number of readers coming to the bookstore to buy books on the third day was terrifying.

It was around nine o’clock in the morning when a certain large chain bookstore reluctantly put up the “The Legend of the Condor Heroes sold out” sign first.

And then.

It was like a domino effect.

Following the first bookstore’s inability to cope, more and more bookstores found themselves in the awkward situation of having nothing to sell, and more “The Legend of the Condor Heroes sold out” signs were reluctantly put up.

Soaring Dragon Bookstore sold out!

Universal Bookstore sold out!

Pinnacle Bookstore sold out!

Tranquility Bookstore sold out!

New Cathay Bookstore sold out!

Countless bookstores across the five continents of Qin, Qi, Chu, Yan, and Han sold out in turn; “The Legend of the Condor Heroes” suddenly became out of stock!

Too small!

The scale was too small!

Just yesterday, the person in charge of each major bookstore was all smiles, but today they’re all cursing under their breath, hurriedly contacting Silver Blue Books for restocking!

What the hell is happening!

Since when did wuxia become so popular?

Wasn’t it said that readers from Qin, Qi, Chu, Yan, and Han don’t like to read wuxia?

You can’t even trust a single punctuation mark in what these readers say!

Previously, all major bookstores thought that the first day’s sales would be the highest. They didn’t expect the second day to be even higher, and just when they thought the second day was the limit, the third day’s sales exceeded the sum of the first two days!

And all this actually had a reason.

As the first batch of readers finished the entire novel, the reputation of this work completely exploded online!

Its most direct manifestation is:

A 9.3 rating for The Legend of the Condor Heroes on Starry Sky Web!

And the number of reviewers exceeded 600,000!

Almost no decent negative comments could be found in the entire comments section:

“This ‘The Legend of the Condor Heroes’ alone has an aura that completely crushes all previous wuxia novels. The book’s vast, boundless and touching atmosphere can’t simply be described as shocking. Chu Kuang made me fall in love with wuxia all over again!”

“Two words only: Holy shit!”

“Wuxia can portray chivalry and righteousness seen in everyday life; romance reflects people’s desires. The former is idealistic, while the latter is realistic, yet this kind of realism really hits home for me. I cried and laughed, my soul was moved. I don’t know how many people, like me, are fascinated by the fictional history laid out in the book, feeling that this era seems grand. The fictional historical figures mentioned by Chu Kuang in the book, like Yue Fei, Yang Guang, and Emperor Wu of Han, all seem to have a lot to talk about.”

“I want to eat the food cooked by Huang Rong.”

“Wuxia is the eternal love in my heart, but honestly, I haven’t read this genre for many years. I thought I had stopped loving wuxia, but after reading The Legend of the Condor Heroes, I realized that my love for wuxia had never diminished by even a bit. It was just that I was growing up, while wuxia had made no progress for many years. When a wuxia work that could keep up with my growth appeared, my love for wuxia was just like first love. Also… cough, I want to learn the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms.”

“Is this the rhythm of a wuxia revival?”

“Guo Jing and Huang Rong are absolutely the most perfect couple in wuxia history. They embody the traditional Chinese concept of harmony without uniformity. Chu Kuang hasn’t written serious romance scenes in a long time, but when he does it seriously, those romance novel writers should come and pay homage to their ancestors!”

“I like Huang Yaoshi the most!”

“I prefer Zhou Botong. Wang Chongyang definitely isn’t a steady person, otherwise how could he have raised Zhou Botong, this naughty child? Also, Master Yideng’s deep love, though briefly described, left a deep impression on me. The different kinds of love depicted in this book are thought-provoking. The JingRong romance even moved me deeply. I can only say sorry to Huazheng: You are really good, but I can only love Rong’er.”

…

After the release of The Legend of the Condor Heroes, no matter the concept of Duel Atop Mount Hua or the Five Greats, or the variety of martial skills, nothing compared to the endless discussion about JingRong’s romance among readers.

Jin Yong is good at writing romance.

And among his works, Guo Jing and Huang Rong as a couple are definitely one of the most popular, almost becoming a cultural symbol.

In the book.

When Huang Rong mistakenly thought Guo Jing had perished at sea, she was determined to die to join him.

And when Huang Rong was critically injured by the Iron Palm, with Guo Jing holding her in the vast wilderness, it was so heartbreakingly desperate.

“In death, carry me on your back.”

“In life, carry me on your back.”

Huang Rong’s expressions were truly shocking to the heart.

The response from Guo Jing was even more heart-wrenching as tears flowed uncontrollably, “Rong’er, life and death are predestined, and the length of life is difficult to predict. If your wound is truly incurable, then you will always have your Jing brother to accompany you on the road to the netherworld.”

The emotions were written to a climax.

And the scenes were laid out to the utmost extreme.

With grand imagined histories encompassing even the court and the current situation, igniting the blood and passion to surge tumultuously.

This is a wuxia novel that encompasses everything, its scale truly incomparable to that of ordinary martial arts fiction.

The mighty The Legend of the Condor Heroes craze finally started to sweep across the sky!

Tribes.

Blogs.

On Blue Star’s major social media platforms and forums, discussions about The Legend of the Condor Heroes were emerging one after another, completely dominating the trending searches.

Under various derivative topics, discussions on the plot of The Legend of the Condor Heroes became more in-depth, down to the minutiae of the text.

At this time.

Many readers who hadn’t been able to buy the book, yet were completely enticed by the various online comments, became desperate:

“Is Chu Kuang’s new book really that good?”

“All my friends are recommending it!”

“I went to a bookstore to buy it, and they were sold out, can you believe that?”

“What kind of world is this, where I actually can’t buy a wuxia book that I want to read?”

“Whoever has finished reading The Legend of the Condor Heroes, can you sell it to me second-hand? I’ll pay the original price!”

“I kind of regret not buying a copy earlier.”

“I have a friend who works in a bookstore, and he said that there is a shortage in every continent now. Silver Blue is reprinting, but they still can’t meet the demand. Only Zhao Continent has stock left, but even Zhao Continent’s online bookstores are out of stock. You have to go to their physical stores.”

This was a curious psychology.

The harder a book was to buy, the more everyone wanted to get their hands on it.

For this reason, some people even bought plane tickets specifically to go to Zhao Continent to purchase the book and return, posting their plane ticket information online afterward.

“Damn!”

“Crazy!”

“The money you spent on the plane ticket could’ve bought so many copies of The Legend of the Condor Heroes!”

“I thought it was already outrageous when I saw a rich, pretty girl in Qin Continent taking a plane to Qi Continent just to have a meal, and now I’ve come across something even more ridiculous. It’s just a novel, how much could it possibly cost!”

“That’s showing off!”

“Couldn’t you have just paid someone in Zhao Continent to buy a copy and mail it to you? With today’s delivery speed, the book would arrive in a day or two.”

“This must be what it’s like to have money to burn!”

“Big brother, is it worth it? Time is money too!”

That very night.

The blogger who had specifically flown to Zhao Continent to buy the book replied to the top-liked comment questioning whether the trip was worth it.

The content was:

“Right after buying it and on the way home, I felt like I might have been a bit feverish, but reading The Legend of the Condor Heroes on the plane made me realize that this trip was so worth it!”

Damn!

Is it really that good?

The readers who hadn’t managed to buy the book became even more anxious!
