Chapter 377: Lao Bai
"Here's a bottle of sherry, and then let's wrap up Red Five!"
In the Xicheng District of Jiangcheng, hidden in the Feilong Internet café deep in the streets, Wang Pu slapped a ten-yuan bill on the counter along with his ID card.
His eyes looked around the smoky room, and when he saw that his old seat was still empty, he breathed a sigh of relief and whistled at the bar girl.
The little girl at the bar glared at Wang Pu angrily, and threw back the cigarette drink and the swiped ID card to him.
"You only have 15 yuan left in your card, do you want to top it up?"
Wang Pu grabbed something, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, let's talk about it when it's finished, there is no discount now." ”
The little girl at the bar rolled her eyes and turned her head away from him.
Wang Pu didn't care, sat down in his place, and skillfully turned on the computer.
There are at least hundreds of large and small Internet cafes in Jiangcheng, and Feilong Internet Cafe is one of the very inconspicuous ones, with a long history and backward conditions.
The place is also small, sit in your own place and fart, it is estimated that half of the people in the Internet café can smell it, probably because of this, so although there is a non-smoking sign here, smoking is not taken care of.
The most important thing is that the price of Feilong Internet café is very cheap, only 2 yuan an hour, and from time to time there is an activity of rushing 100 and getting 100 free, so that young people like Wang Pu who live at the bottom of the city can also find their own cheap happiness here.
The machine started very slowly, and Wang Pu was not in a hurry, he put the drink aside first, and then tore open the cigarette case.
"Lao Wang, bring me one. ”
A low, hoarse voice suddenly came from the side, which made people shudder when they heard it.
"it!"
Wang Pu, who was defenseless, was startled, and turned his head to see that it was the guy next door begging for a cigarette.
This guy Wang Pu knows: "Great god, you want to scare people to death?"
"Great God" is definitely a legend in the Feilong Internet Cafe, there is no one who often comes to the Internet café who does not know, he is about the same age as Wang Pu, unkempt and thin, and always looks like he is sleep-deprived.
There are many stories of the great god, the most famous is that he once fought for seven days and seven nights in a newly launched online game, and his sleep time was less than a day, so scared that the boss almost called the police, afraid that he would die suddenly in front of the computer.
But the vitality of the great god is more tenacious than that of cockroaches, what Wang Pu looked like when he first came to Feilong Internet Café to surf the Internet a few years ago, and he still looks like now.
In addition, what is admirable about the great god is that he never goes out to work, and earns Internet fees and food money for himself by playing games.
For Wang Pu's complaints, the great god had no guilt, and continued to stretch out his hand: "Give a cigarette to smoke."
"I'm convinced!"
Wang Pu simply took out half a pack of cigarettes and gave it to the other party: "It's okay to divide half of you, brother is righteous enough, right?"
The great god had taken Wang Pu to play a game before, so the two still had a bit of a friendship.
As for Wang Pu's generosity, the great god scoffed: "Half a pack of red five is also considered to be righteous?"
Wang Pu was so angry that he smoked and was about to get the cigarette back, but the great god went into his pocket very quickly.
I also had one in my mouth.
"it!"
Wang Pu retracted his hand stupidly, held the mouse pad to open the browser, and logged in to his own Feixun at the same time.
Tick tick!
Feixun's avatar jumped non-stop, Wang Pu opened it one by one, pulled the fraudsters, borrowed money, and harassed into the blacklist first, replied to the messages of several friends, and finally opened the group chat of [Lao Bai Group].
[Lao Bai Group] is a large group of 1,000 people, and the composition of the hundreds of group members in it is very complex, from doctors and professors to brick movers, and the only thing in common is that he is the same as Wang Pu, a lover of online novels!
And the reading age is very long.
Wang Pu is 25 years old this year, and has been reading online novels for 10 years, when he was in junior high school, he began to rent pirated books to read, and a book can be read for 5 cents for a few days, and then he looked for books on the Internet to read, which can be described as reading countless books.
For the current Wang Pu, reading online novels is the greatest happiness he can get at the lowest cost, he is reading genuine on the Internet, and he is a proud VIP subscriber reader, but most of his subscription coins are obtained through various activities of the book station and red envelopes sent by local tyrant book friends.
It's just that recently, Wang Pu has found that his happiness is getting harder and harder, not because of money, he still has a lot of subscription coins in his accounts on several big websites.
It's that there are fewer and fewer books that can be read and appetized!
This is the biggest sorrow of "Lao Bai" readers like Wang Pu, the more books they read, the higher the requirements will naturally be, and those novels with rough writing, excessive YY, and serious routines cannot be accepted, but most of the books on the website are filled with this kind of book.
Wang Pu was helpless, he even thought about writing a book himself, but after writing thousands of words, he realized that writing a book turned out to be a very difficult thing.
Obviously, there are a lot of ideas in my head, but the text content that comes out of the keyboard is extremely awkward, and I feel embarrassed to look at it, so I can only give up.
The problem of the book shortage cannot be solved.
"Everyone recommends a few grain and grass books, preferably new books, and I have basically read all the old books!"
Wang Pu shouted in the group: "No books to read!"
"10,000 tons of copper balls!"
"I'm the same, I've been rereading old books lately, or those old books are wonderful, what the hell are they now!"
""The Legend of the Eight Desolations and Demons" is good, highly recommended. ”
"I've just seen it, it's okay in Xianxia, I'm raising it!"
"I'm watching 'The Midnight Grave Watcher', it's scary"
The group members talked and recommended more than a dozen books, but Wang Pu was disappointed, because these books were either the ones he had already read or the genres he didn't like.
Wang Pu likes fantasy, Xianxia, and historical web novels.
Just as he was about to put away the chat box and prepare to look for it on the website himself, a group member with the ID "Old Bookworm" said: "I'm watching "Smiling Proud Jianghu", which is very interesting, and I recommend it to everyone. ”
He also attached an address link.
Wang Pu clicked on the website and opened the new book recommended by the "old bookworm".
Smiling proudly?
The title of this book is okay, at least it's not a god and demon emperor tyrannosaurus arrogant, I hope there will be a surprise!
There are quite a few people in the [Lao Bai Group], and there are many group members who click on the address like Wang Pu.
Everyone is short of books!
Soon someone complained in the group: "I'm dizzy, martial arts? Isn't that an old antique!"
"Khan, it's only 70,000 words, how can such a seedling bear to be destroyed?"
"I haven't signed a contract yet, and the data is too bleak, is it really a good book?"
"Old bookworm, you won't push yourself, will you?"
"Self-push +1!"
To be honest, Wang Pu also suspects that the "old bookworm" is self-recommended or friendly, not only did he not sign a contract for the book he pushed, but the number of words was so bad that the results were not good, if it was really a good book, wouldn't it be the editor of Inspur Reading who was out of sight?
Hundreds of clicks, dozens of collections, in a big station like Inspur Reading, I really can't pounce anymore!
Wang Pu has mixed with the author group, and he still knows a little about the online literature circle.
And this martial arts theme is really non-mainstream.
The works in Inspur Reading are divided into several genres, such as fantasy, Xianxia, urban, history, online games, competition, military, science fiction, supernatural, etc., and there is also a custom type.
The so-called custom genre is to allow authors to define their own works, such as fantasy, sadomasochism, superscience, etc., which are basically niche essays and brain holes.
The "Smiling Proud Jianghu" recommended by the "old bookworm" is divided into custom genres, and the author's definition is martial arts.
Martial arts, in Wang Pu's impression, really belongs to the theme of antique-level novels, he vaguely remembered that he seemed to have read a book about divine sword when he was a child, and it seemed to be written by a writer in Xiangjiang.
Will a book with this theme be the grain and grass that the old whites like?
He subconsciously gave this "Smiling Proud Jianghu" a negative score in his heart.
The "old bookworm" explained in the group: "It's really not self-pushing, my personal food and grass, you can see for yourself." ”
Wang Pu thought that he didn't have any books to read anyway, so it didn't matter if he contributed a few clicks to others, just think of it as supporting newcomers, so he clicked to read the first chapter-
The first one is sent. (To be continued.) )
