Chapter 49: Times Have Changed
Growing up, Wu Yu has never been as desperate as he is now.
He had thought that there was nothing to be afraid of in this world except that he would starve without good books.
"I'm still too young. I knew that the supper of the goddess was not so easy to swallow if the thought circuits were not normal. ”
Wu Yu, who witnessed the release of the leave single chapter, clearly heard the clatter of his dinner basin being brutally overturned to the ground with a slight wave of his hand.
"Give me a knife, give me a knife!"
Putting away the phone, Cheng Rui saw Wu Yu on the side looking excited, his lips pursed as if he wanted to say something.
Haha smiled, opened his big hand like a fan, patted Wu Yu's shoulder, and said.
"Didn't I agree to invite you to dinner, don't be so moved, I'll discuss the plot with you when we eat."
- Dinner or something, it's, it's gone, it's gone-
His face was full of expressions of lovelessness, and Wu Yu didn't know how Cheng Rui could see that he was full of emotion.
"But that's fine, at least when you give a gift, you won't feel guilty."
Moving his stiff shoulders, Wu Yu grinded his teeth and quickly followed Cheng Rui's figure.
…………
Although it was already early September, the temperature in Star City, which was also one of the four major furnaces, was not much cooler than that of Mountain City.
Along the way, the air in Star City, where there was hardly a trace of wind, was filled with a suffocating sense of heat.
"Why, I always feel like you don't know the way you look."
"Hold on, we're about to get there. Let me tell you, coming to our Star City, this fire palace is definitely a good place that you can't miss. ”
Cheng Rui, who was walking in front, glanced at it secretly, navigated the Baidu map in his hand, wiped his sweat and said firmly.
Although he was also sweating hotly, Wu Yu's whole person became more and more energetic. If Cheng Rui turned his head, he would find that he was looking around the streets of this strange city with great interest, even greed.
Whenever Wu Yu walked a certain distance, the corresponding world phantom in the corner of the real star city would suddenly bloom in his mind, and then it slowly became dim, gradually precipitating into the depths of Wu Yu's soul.
At the same time, slightly, Wu Yu found that his spiritual power had also become a little thicker and broader.
"It seems that my guess is at least partially correct, and what I see and hear during my journey in the real world will eventually be fed back into the cornerstone of the condensation of the world of words."
——From an abandoned middle school student who is addicted to online novels to a wandering ramp...... has gone farther and farther on the road of not doing his job - Wu Yu secretly scolded himself, can't he be a quiet and beautiful literary boy like in the comics.
"Hey, Feather, we're here."
Although he is a little unfamiliar with the road, it is not too simple to understand the navigation of Baidu Maps for a senior cartographer like Cheng Rui.
………
In the bright room, Cheng Rui and Wu Yu sat opposite each other, and there was a mess in front of them.
"Hiccup, it tastes good. It's not that the family is strictly controlled, I must come to eat every day. ”
Cheng Rui touched his stomach and gave a long full burp with satisfaction.
There are not many dishes ordered, only two parts of pig blood, one flavored shrimp, one part fried shrimp, two parts of lard mixed with powder, and most of them went into Cheng Rui's stomach.
"Where are you?"
Wu Yu asked with some curiosity, will the triple identity of an engineer and a mellow writer also break away from being single.
Feeling the strong distrust from Wu Yu, Cheng Rui's eyes widened, and he showed off a little shyly.
"Why, don't you believe it? Actually, you've known him for a long time, it's the lime who always claims to be my big cousin. My first reader ID was called Lemon Love. ”
This name is a little familiar, Wu Yu groaned for a moment and slammed the table.
"Huh? It turns out that you are the one who was going to starve to death in the first place, and joked that you had a better appetite when you were hungry, what about your conscience? ”
Cheng Rui touched his earlobe with some embarrassment.
"I never thought that this book would be so popular, and I thought that it would be the first full-length online article to practice writing."
To Wu Yu's surprise, Cheng Rui did not have too much pride and joy on his face, but frowned, with a look of doubt and surprise.
"Actually, seriously, I still feel a little unreal like a dream. Before that, I thought that I could have an average order of 500, even if I had the motivation to continue creating. ”
After a pause, Cheng Rui glanced at Wu Yu, who was listening carefully, and couldn't help but pour out all the bitterness and doubts that had been accumulated in his heart for a long time.
"You can also see that I am a field engineer, and I can only code words after I get home from work, not to mention the outbreak, and I can keep the double watch until two or three o'clock under the protest of my daughter-in-law."
Wu Yu twitched the corners of his mouth when he heard this, and secretly scolded himself - so is this the reason why he is hungry, if he writes novels, he will definitely be full every day-
After comparing the combat effectiveness of the two sides, and thinking of the story about the cement mixer, a bookworm who seemed to have a big "cowardice" word immediately posted on his head nodded his head.
"It's not easy for you to be big, in fact, now the online text is not much about the hero. The quality of your book wins, it's super beautiful. ”
Hearing this, Cheng Rui waved his hand.
"You probably haven't read much of the online article. You don't know, not to mention that the fantasy section is already a niche category of sunset, let's just say that there are more now, and the exposure rate is high. After all, the online article, in fact, most readers are roughly glanced, and what they enjoy is mainly the pleasure of turning the page at a glance and ten lines. ”
Speaking of this, Ermu, who was originally quite interested, suddenly sighed, and flicked the empty bowl with chopsticks a little helplessly.
"Actually, I also know that when I read books, I like to have a good time. It's clear that the witch is let go but he adheres to the old-fashioned harem, and the protagonist is not a 10,000-strong enemy of the battlefield, and there are not many plots of pretending to slap his face, I guess there are not too many cool points in this book, I guess everyone is just trying to be fresh. Maybe one day the data will sink to the bottom. ”
Cheng Rui, who was spitting bitter water to himself, didn't notice that Wu Yu, who had been smiling quietly and echoing him, had begun to smile since his last sentence.
"If you don't know anything about online texts, it's not me, it's you."
With his hands propped up on the table, Wu Yu straightened up, and an inexplicable strong sense of pride spread from his body to the surroundings like a knife.
"Listen to me, maybe once upon a time, only fast-paced cool articles could drive the trend in the online literature industry."
——If,What the two eyes said before was the mainstream of the so-called online text——
Wu Yu's eyes flashed with the exquisite worlds he had seen recently, as well as countless words carved with his heart.
- Then in the future, it may not be anymore -
As if facing Cheng Rui in front of him, and as if facing the invisible world, Wu Yu said word by word.
"But...... Times have changed. ”
