As one of the best children's extracurricular books in China, the magazine "Zhonghai Youth" has a long history. By just counting, it has been 25 years since the magazine was first published.

Over the past 25 years, with its excellent content and unique "comics + light novel" serialization model, the circulation of "Zhonghai Boys" once ranked first in the children's book list, and was sought after by many children!

But the past was before, and the present is now.

In the past, "Zhonghai Youth" may have been very popular and could be called "the only one in the world". But now, "Zhonghai Youth" magazine can no longer maintain its title of "the best in children's books".

there are many reasons……

The rise of the Internet, especially the mobile Internet, the decline of paper media, and fierce competition among similar magazines have all contributed to the decline in magazine sales.

As the magazine's comics editor, Liu Donghai is very anxious.

When he and his wife Xia Mei searched their son's room and accidentally found two "Manga World" magazines, he knew something was wrong.

The son of the comic editor-in-chief of "Zhonghai Boys" has free magazines to read, but he also secretly buys comic weekly magazines from a friend?

How can this work!

Especially when he questioned his son and learned from his son that both boys and girls in his class liked to borrow "Comics World", his mood became even worse.

This can't go on like this!

Originally, the "comics magazine" was not a big piece of cake, but a disruptor appeared and gradually eroded its market share. If "Zhonghai Boys" did not make a positive response, I am afraid it would have to "stop publication".

It's a pity that he is just the editor-in-chief of comics.

In the editorial department of "Zhonghai Youth" magazine, there are four editors-in-chief, and there is an editor-in-chief above their heads. Liu Donghai's words are not that effective.

"well……"

After finishing his day's work, Liu Donghai sighed deeply and was worried about the future of "Zhonghai Boys" magazine.

Why is he so unlucky?

I just quit my job at the children's theater and joined the magazine "Zhonghai Boys". However, I didn't even get paid for a few days before the magazine was about to cease publication!

Just as Liu Donghai was thinking about what he would do next if the magazine really couldn't be run, a new email reminder popped up on his computer.

He clicked it and looked at it, and was stunned.

This is an email from "a headhunting company", and the content is probably to invite him to join the editorial department of "Comics World" magazine, a subsidiary of Wanbao Comics.

Better treatment and higher benefits!

"Ah this..."

Liu Donghai hesitated.

I have to say that the salary package offered to him by Wanbao Comics is definitely better than his current position. But is it a bit inappropriate to change jobs at this time?

Liu Donghai, who was overwhelmed by this email, returned home worried.

I wanted to discuss it with my wife.

As a result, just after returning home, before I had time to change my shoes, I heard a burst of noise coming from Liu Xing and Xiaoyu's room.

What are the children doing?

Out of curiosity, Liu Donghai walked over quietly and put his ear to the door to eavesdrop.

…

"Liu Xing, you are so dark!"

Xiaoyu complained with a speechless face: "Three Pandora's boxes, all you opened were sword hilt fragments, can you be more forceful?"

"Accident, purely accidental!"

Liu Xing rubbed his hands and said with an awkward smile: "I wasn't ready just now, but now I am! Aren't there still seven magic boxes? Come again..."

As he spoke, he opened a box.

Sword No. 2 fragments!

"Nice!"

Liu Xing put his hands on his hips and said with a strange smile: "Did you see it? There are two pieces! I told you that I wasn't ready just now. You still don't believe me?"

"It's just a scam!"

"Unless you open a new shard, if you open two out of four, you will still be in trouble!" Xiao Yu curled her lips and said.

Makes sense!

Liu Xing thought for a while, he had already opened three No. 1 sword hilt fragments in a row. Even if the fourth fragment was different, he still lost money.

"Then one more!"

Liu Xing took a deep breath and opened the fifth Pandora's box.

Jin Guangyi...oh, there is no golden light!

However, after the box was opened, what was lying inside was the sword blade fragment No. 4.

Wuhu, take off!

Liu Xing and Xiaoyu looked at each other, their eyes full of surprise. A two out of four is a loss, but a three out of five is not a loss!

"Keep going!"

Xiaoyu couldn't wait to say: "There are already three fragments, and there are five boxes. Liu Xing is up to you!"

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it."

Patting his chest, Liu Xing was so confident at this moment that he opened the sixth box without much pause.

Wow! Golden legend!

After opening the box, Liu Xing and Xia Yu were extremely excited when they saw the fragments of sword No. 3 lying quietly inside.

Four pieces!

There is only one step away from collecting the five fragments and combining them to create the invincible artifact [Zhuzhu Kaitian Sword].

And they have four boxes left!

Could it be that……

With excitement, Liu Xing opened the seventh Pandora's Box with trembling hands.

It’s still fragment No. 3!

After opening the box, it was not the No. 5 sword tip fragment as expected, which made Liu Xing and Xiao Yu a little disappointed.

But it's not a big problem.

There are still three boxes. It doesn't matter if you repeat one or two pieces. As long as you can collect five pieces in the end, this wave will not be a loss.

"Keep going!"

Under Xiaoyu's encouragement, Liu Xing opened the eighth magic box.

Sword hilt fragment ①!

It was fragment No. 1 again. Liu Xing fired four sword hilts in succession, and his forehead was already sweating.

The ninth box, fragment ②!

good.

It’s not a loss if it’s not the hilt.

Liu Xing comforted himself and decisively opened the tenth box with the determination to "see death as home".

Sword hilt fragment ①!

Unfortunately, the miracle did not happen.

Liu Xing and Xia Yu were devastated when they saw five sword hilt fragments on the table, as well as a decent-looking "mutilated version" of the Zhuzhu Kaitian Sword missing its tip.

Is this okay?

Ten Pandora's boxes and ten fragments, but they can't put together a complete [Piggy Sky-Opening Sword]?

"no!"

Liu Xing's eyes were red and he gritted his teeth and said: "It must be taken down today. I don't believe that the next box will be a sword hilt fragment."

"Who are you going to take down?"

Before he finished speaking, the sound of the door opening came. Liu Xing turned around and saw Liu Donghai standing at the door, staring at them expressionlessly.

Smile solidified.JPG!

Seeing the two children standing there silently, Liu Donghai stepped into the house, picked up the opened packaging box on the table, and looked at it carefully.

Pandora's Box, on sale for a limited time!

Official guide price: 10 yuan.

Manufacturer: Jiangchuan Wanbao Toys Co., Ltd.

Liu Donghai: "..."

After reading the introduction information on the packaging box, he suddenly felt that he seemed to have underestimated the integrity of these profiteers.
Chapter completed!
