At this moment, exactly ten minutes had passed, and the free trial reading session ended.
However, for Yae Publishing House, this was only the beginning of the event,
because many readers were already immersed in the story; after all, daring to write about God of Rock and Venti in a story was a first.
So, after the ten-minute trial read, many readers did not hesitate to buy the book directly,
the inventory prepared by Yae Publishing House was instantly snatched up, and the editors were too busy to handle it all.
Looking at the empty warehouse, the editors were dumbfounded.
In the blink of an eye, all the books in the warehouse were sold?
It was the first time they had seen readers love a book so much; such a phenomenon had never occurred before!
This also showed that Mr. Faxun's book had received unanimous approval from readers.
Immediately after, Yae Publishing House's chief editor, Yae, came out.
"I can feel everyone's enthusiasm and love for this new book,"
"I'm sure you all have a lot to say to the author, so next, please welcome the author of this book, 'Six Old Li Zhong', to the stage."
As Yae's words fell, everyone's eyes collectively looked towards the interior of Yae Publishing House.
They were all curious what kind of person could write such a wonderful story.
The next second, a small head peeked out from inside Yae Publishing House.
Xiao Qiqi looked outside with a blank, adorable expression and said in a milky voice, "Is it time to eat…?"
Another voice came from inside Yae Publishing House: "Qiqi, we just ate something. Are you hungry again?"
"Alright, after the signing event ends, I'll take you to eat something."
"And now, will you sit nicely below the stage and wait for me, okay?"
Xiao Qiqi blinked her big eyes and nodded vigorously: "Okay… Qiqi will wait for Makoto…"
When they saw that the person standing on stage was Makoto, Venti and Morax were both a little surprised.
The author was actually Mr. Faxun?
Similarly, Makoto, who had just appeared, also noticed the presence of Morax and the others.
To be honest, Makoto was also a little surprised.
He didn't expect the Retired Fish-Catching Group to also come to Yae Publishing House.
This was a bit awkward, and he wondered what they would think when they saw the two novels.
But at the moment, Makoto didn't have time to think about this problem, because it was already the reader Q&A session.
Makoto collected his thoughts, intending to deal with this signing event first before anything else.
The readers' questions were relatively conventional, such as asking if Makoto's third work was in preparation,
why he chose the pen name 'Six Old Li Zhong',
and so on.
Before the signing event began, Makoto had already considered that he might be asked these questions, and had specifically prepared for them in advance.
So when facing the questions raised by the readers, he was able to answer them calmly.
Below the stage, Yae had her arms crossed, a faint smile on her face.
Mr. Faxun's performance was more stable than she had imagined, with no mishaps.
This also meant that today's signing event was a complete success.
Since that was the case, she might as well help Mr. Faxun out a little.
For example, by solving a small problem for him.
Yae glanced in the direction of the Port, her expression thoughtful.
...
After the signing event ended, Makoto quickly left Yae Publishing House with Raiden Makoto and the Little Ones.
Because Xiao Qiqi said she wanted to eat, Makoto planned to take them to eat.
Furthermore, since he had met Morax and his group, he still needed to see them and catch up.
As Makoto expected,
as soon as he walked out of Yae Publishing House, he met the Retired Fish-Catching Group who had been waiting for a long time.
Morax looked at Makoto, then slowly said, "Long time no see, old friend."
Makoto nodded: "Yes, long time no see, Morax."
He paused, his gaze sweeping over Guizhong and the others: "And you all, how have you been lately?"
Hearing Makoto's concern, Venti almost cried.
"Mr. Faxun, you don't know…"
If Venti could have one more chance to start over, he would definitely choose to stay by Makoto's side,
because…
Following Morax meant starving nine times in three days.
It had made the child silly from hunger.
Mr. Faxun was reliable.
At least when it came to spending money, Mr. Faxun was truly wealthy and didn't lack money at all.
Seeing Makoto, Venti felt like he had seen a family member.
Looking at Venti's pitiful appearance, Makoto subconsciously asked, "What's wrong?"
Venti scratched his head, then glanced at his stomach.
"Mr. Faxun, how about we talk while we eat?"
"I'm really too hungry…"
Azhdaha next to him also nodded repeatedly, his face full of longing.
Makoto agreed: "I was just about to take the Little Ones to eat, you all can come along."
"Hehe, of course, that's great!"
"Then we'll trouble Mr. Faxun."
Seeing Venti, Morax, and Makoto chatting so happily, Raiden Makoto was a little surprised.
God of Rock and Venti were the friends Makoto had mentioned earlier?
And what surprised Raiden Makoto the most was,
Morax and Venti acted as if they didn't know her at all,
and even told her, "Nice to meet you for the first time."
It wasn't that Venti and Morax didn't recognize Raiden Makoto's identity;
on the contrary, as two of the Seven Archons, they were extremely familiar with the aura of every deity.
It was just that the three original gods tacitly pretended not to know each other.
Doing so was also to help Raiden Makoto live a normal life.
Only by severing all past connections could a new future begin.
