Chapter 40: Man and Human Soul (II)

"Even if you can't write it, you can learn it!" Regarding Jiang Yucheng's statement, Yu Baochen asked. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"I'm also learning," Jiang Yucheng immediately replied - he himself admitted that his pen power was insufficient, so he did read something. Every time he sees an excellent article recommendation on the X Sky Mountain Push Book Edition, he must stuff it into the bookshelf for reference, "The 7th paragraph of this chapter is ah, written by learning the works of the great gods." ”

But Yu Baochen's reply was:

"What's the use of learning those things!"

Jiang Yucheng's imitation of the paragraph, the original author can indeed be called a god in the online literature industry - his works are not only very popular on Dianniang, but even the group of old whites on X Sky Mountain also gave high praise. However, what kind of "great god" can't get into Yu Baochen's eyes-

"Forget about the big gods and small gods! Those things, no matter how much you look at, they are worthless!"

Cut, do you know that your family knows that? Since you are so disdainful of these great gods, you should not just talk about it and write it yourself! That's right, judging from the two short stories that Jiang Yucheng praised before, Yu Baochen is indeed very talented -- but the problem is that the online literature industry is not talented enough to get ahead.

In this country, having a gun does not mean that you are JB long (Note 1), in the online literature industry, being talented does not mean that you can write a blockbuster online article. In the world of online texts, quantity and quality are equally important categories - not to mention the great gods, even if it is a guy like the god Nana, it is only because he doesn't value online texts that he has an update that doesn't match it. Later, after the online article was put on the shelves, the results were beyond her expectations, and then the number of updates also came up-when he was fighting a monthly ticket war with someone before, the update speed of this guy's outbreak was also very scary...

However, at this time, Yu Baochen did not continue to argue, but peddled his own literary theory:

"Online articles, no matter how well they are written, are not considered art, because art should come from life and be higher than life, and online articles, including those written by Nana, are the same, neither from life nor higher than life. It is purely a catharsis and satisfaction of desire, a distortion and escape from life. ”

"I don't need art," but Jiang Yucheng doesn't have that much ambition, "I'm just going to write online articles." ”

"No, you don't understand -- if you imitate real art, you can't learn 10 out of 10 - but even then, the result is a good web post. Yu Baochen went on to say - after chatting so many times, Jiang Yucheng knew that the "real art" in Yu Baochen's context was actually talking about those literary masterpieces. Speaking of which, Nana, that is, Xiaoqi, seems to have said something similar...

"But if you imitate other online texts, it is impossible to learn a 10% level, then what you get is just the lowest online text, and anyone can step on it. ”

Is it true art? Is it impossible to write an online article and ask me to read a famous book? Jiang Yucheng sneered -- but at this time, a passage with a short history popped up in his memory:

"Who told you to study online texts?! It's useless to read that kind of thing!"

Wait!!!!

“…… If it weren't for the preparation for the high school entrance examination, I might have been able to read Balzac's anthologies - it's a pity that I can't read that kind of text now, and I can only read it a little easier, but I can still read a famous book in a month. ”

…… Xiaoqi and Yu Baochen actually reached an agreement in this regard?

"I don't care so much, I just write online articles. ”

But I don't know why, but now Jiang Yucheng's heart is even more angry: it is precisely because he suspects that he may really be wrong that he is even more angry. If the valve of sanity was completely closed, then he would definitely grab the phone and call Yu Baochen now, and then vent his dissatisfaction and anger like a raging storm. "Fuck your uncle!!" he opened his mouth and scolded, "Real art??, so easy to say!!"

That's right, reading literary masterpieces will definitely greatly enhance one's pen power -- Jiang Yucheng also knows this. But there is a P use for saying this?!What kind of correct nonsense can it play other than wasting your time and adding blockage to your heart?!

The reason why a masterpiece is a masterpiece is that it has depth and thickness -- only in this way can it withstand the erosion of time and be passed down to future generations. However, the depth and thickness also mean that the threshold for reading has been raised - if a masterpiece can be as easy to read as an online text and a light novel, it is not a masterpiece. Jiang Yucheng still remembers that the god Wu Nana, that is, Xiaoqi, once said such a sentence when talking about his reading volume:

"If it weren't for the preparation for the high school entrance examination, I might have been able to read Balzac's anthologies - it's a pity that I can't read that kind of text now, I can only read it a little easier, but I can still finish reading a tome in a month. ”

As people grow older, their brain power and learning ability are actually declining on the whole -- even if Xiaoqi is a literary genius and a young girl who has just turned 18 years old, she can only "read a tome a month" now, and if she is replaced by Jiang Yucheng, a 20-year-old science and engineering otaku, how much time will it take to finish a famous book? Don't forget, as an online writer, he doesn't have time to slowly hone his pen power -- because "Zhan Ji Project" will be updated tonight!

"Why can't you work hard?" Yu Baochen spoke again, "And, weren't you still confident before, saying that you wanted to impress Nana?"

"That's not to become a writer..."

As before, it was a sentence in the penguin, but what Jiang Yucheng wanted to say in his stomach was far more than these simple words - yes, many royal works and success textbooks will tell you that as long as you have enthusiasm and hard work, you will definitely succeed in the end. It's a pity that this ugly and cruel world is not so gentle at all!!Juvenile manga is just a juvenile after all, and the so-called success learning is actually a thing invented by the [beep-] organization to fool people!

Qualitative change is indeed caused by quantitative change, but not all quantitative change can cause qualitative change. The principle of mass interchange itself has a "degree" -- if it is too far away from the "degree", then it is impossible to cause a qualitative change by a little quantitative change. "Success can be achieved through hard work" is just an abstract possibility -- whether or not concrete can be turned into reality depends on what the realistic possibility is.

For a person who is gifted enough in something, hard work may increase the success rate to a very high level - in which case the effort is cost-effective and necessary. But if you don't have the necessary talent, the result of your efforts is nothing more than an increase in the success rate from 1% to 2% - even if a snail crawls for a lifetime, it will never be able to walk a distance of an hour. What is the difference between such efforts and not working hard?! Ah, it can't be said that there is no difference -- wasted time and energy, delayed youth, but there is no way back!!

"You can't delay your business - after all, you're different from Xiaoqi next door, and you won't be able to rely on this to eat in the future. ”

At this time, what his father said on the phone also echoed in Jiang Yucheng's ears. This time, Jiang Yucheng felt from the bottom of his heart that what his father said was too right. That's right, he is not a genius like Xiaoqi, and it is impossible for him to take writing as his main business like Xiaoqi - because he is a boy, he must shoulder the burden of the family in the future, and the words he writes by himself will definitely not be able to support himself or Shanshan.

For Jiang Yucheng, even if he really has a lot of time, he can only devote this time to linear algebra and to the laboratory - these are the skills he will eat in the future, and this is the path he can really take in the future. Investing time in reading famous books has a very low cost-effectiveness ratio -- I'm afraid it's better to seize the time and nibble on "Introduction to Algorithms". Just like Zhou Siqi said, online articles are "just a pastime" - similarly, Jiang Yucheng can only continue his great cause of digging holes as an amateur writer. It is simply impossible for him to give up his work and studies and plunge into the online literature like many newcomers who want to be a great god.

Facing the "stubborn" Jiang Yucheng, Yu Baochen obviously didn't know how to answer - maybe at this time, she was pacing anxiously in her bedroom full of books, or frowning and knocking on the table, right? But seeing that she didn't speak for a long time, Jiang Yucheng opened up at this time:

"This guy... isn't going to say anything like that the soul is not connected?"

After about a few seconds, that is, Jiang Yucheng's words, when they were displayed in the penguin chat window, Yu Baochen's penguin avatar turned gray - but Jiang Yucheng felt relieved. Now, she seems to have seen through this guy: she doesn't want to be an equal collaborator. What she wants to be is an Lafayette with unlimited power and no responsibility - to show off all her talents, and at the same time to avoid all the work that she finds troublesome - she can't get any money, and it is her own business to skip classes and end up failing her course--she will not take the slightest responsibility for these things. "The public knows that he moves his mouth and breaks his leg from the five" - now he is the one who runs and breaks his leg, and she is like a public knowledge, easily playing with her mouth, using herself to show her talents, it's really unhappy!!

At this time, Jiang Yucheng was not in the mood to continue the code words - after dinner, he packed up his things, took the linear algebra textbook and notebook that had been idle for a long time, put them in his bag with Surface, and then left home. Time can't be wasted, since you don't plan to code words now, then learning has of course become a natural choice.

Although hard work may not get good results, in linear algebra, Jiang Yucheng can't afford the risk of not working hard anyway: he is just a rule-by, ordinary undergraduate dog after all, and the real sword of Damocles is much more dangerous than "hitting the street" and "good guy card". What's more, for advanced mathematics, Jiang Yucheng still has some confidence after all - it is unlikely to take a 3.7, 4.0 or something, but if the goal is changed to "stay away from failing the subject", it will be much simpler.
