**Chapter 104: Reprint Four Times**
"Mom, tell the printing factory to reprint the first issue of *King of Comics*." Yechui immediately contacted his mother, Zhou Yayun.
Zhou Yayun was also keeping an eye on the status of *King of Comics*. Hearing Yechui's words, she smiled and said, "Hammer, your method of using the Street Fighter tournament to market the magazine is simply brilliant. The magazine has left our contact number, and the office is already overwhelmed. We have readers wanting to subscribe directly to *King of Comics*, and some bookstores are asking us to sell the magazine through them. It seems we won't have to worry about our sales channels in the future."
Her voice was filled with joy. The magazine was now her career, and with such success, anyone in her position would be equally elated. After speaking, Zhou Yayun curiously asked Yechui, "Hammer, how many copies should we reprint for the first issue?"
Yechui thought for a moment and then said, "Reprint... forty thousand copies."
Although *King of Comics* was now trending online, Yechui couldn't be sure how many people were willing to actually buy it. Printing forty thousand copies was a conservative estimate, calculated carefully by him. Of course, these forty thousand copies would not be given away for free but sold officially. Each copy was priced at five yuan, the standard price for magazines nowadays. However, *King of Comics* would increase in price to at least ten yuan per copy in the future!
After finalizing the reprint with his mother, Yechui also told her about his treatment. Hearing that Yechui's legs were gradually regaining sensation, Zhou Yayun choked up on the other end of the call. Yechui comforted her for a while until she calmed down, and then ended the call.
*King of Comics* had its own official website, mainly for announcements and news, so it was simple to build and maintain. Due to the magazine's sudden popularity, many people flocked to the website, leaving messages about subscribing to the first issue.
Yechui's mother, Zhou Yayun, had a knack for business. When the website was created, she had already set up discussion boards for the comics, using a standard forum template. In no time, the registered users on the website reached over ten thousand, with numerous active discussions, nearly crashing the site. The website of *King of Comics* also became popular.
When Zhou Yayun announced the reprint of forty thousand copies of the first issue on the website, it caused a stir.
"Reprinting forty thousand copies of the first issue, I must buy one for my collection!"
"I'm going to buy five copies. They say the price is already up to a thousand yuan per copy in the black market. This magazine will become invaluable, like an antique, the longer you keep it!"
"You're right. I'll take fifty copies. It's only five yuan each!"
"Hearing you guys, should I also get a few copies to wait for the price to go up?"
Such comments were endless. By the next day, discussions about the Street Fighter tournament had diminished, with most people now focused on *King of Comics*. Although the Street Fighter tournament was novel, it lacked long-term entertainment value due to its absence of a battle mode, making it a short-lived hype. However, *King of Comics* was different. Its brilliance was timeless, with each of the six stories being god-tier, causing an explosive reaction.
...
"Boss, today's number of guests hasn't increased compared to usual..."
By noon, a secretary walked into the office to report. This was at the Golden Sun Entertainment Center in Tiandi Mall. Zhang Xing was holding a cigar, watching surveillance footage on his holographic screen—he didn't need the secretary's report to see that the number of guests hadn't increased.
"Got it. You may go." Zhang Xing waved the secretary away.
Once the door was closed, Zhang Xing took a deep drag on his cigar, his face twisted in frustration. "This Yechui has some skills, actually scammed me..." Zhang Xing muttered coldly.
Hosting the Street Fighter tournament had only benefited Yechui! Zhang Xing had paid for everything. When Yechui proposed the tournament to promote his magazine, Zhang Xing agreed, thinking it was a great idea to increase his entertainment center's fame. He spent a lot on promotion and even rented Tiandi Square for the event. But now, it seemed he had only served Yechui's interests.
Yesterday, the center's visitor numbers did spike, but today it was back to normal. The tournament brought no lasting benefit. "Could Yechui have done this on purpose?" Zhang Xing wondered. He was a shrewd businessman, and Yechui's actions had crossed a line. After pondering for a while, Zhang Xing decided not to dwell on whether Yechui had intentionally tricked him. Instead, he focused on how to gain more from Yechui. "Of course, this depends on whether Yechui is worth further collaboration..."
Zhang Xing opened his holographic screen's service list and accessed the game store. "By noon today, Yechui's second game will be released. Let's see if his second game can continue the success and create another miracle."
...
"Boss, I'm ready to release it." At noon, Fang Xi opened his holographic screen and earnestly said to Yechui. He was about to release the second game, *Double Dragon*.
Yechui waved nonchalantly, "Release it already."
"I'm really going to release it..."
"Come on, hurry up!" Yechui urged.
Despite his calm demeanor, Yechui was undeniably nervous inside. However, he was confident that *Double Dragon*'s entertainment value was on par with *Street Fighter*. The side-scrolling beat 'em up gameplay offered more than simple fighting, giving Yechui high hopes for its success.
At Yechui's urging, Fang Xi released the game. "I wonder how the sales will be this time?" Fang Xi muttered, clearly nervous. Suddenly, he jumped up, "I can't stand this waiting. Boss, Sis, Robert, I'm going for a run to calm down!"
With that, Fang Xi dashed out. His weight-loss campaign was in full swing. Yechui rolled his eyes, doubting Fang Xi's commitment to losing weight.
Two minutes had passed since the game release...
