Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Connected Soul
ββ¦ Is that the end of it?"
Looking at the results in front of him, Jiang Yucheng felt that he was going crazy, "Just a little thing, it's over?"
ββ¦β¦β
Yu Baochen had never shown such a weak expression of indignation, she hugged her arms and said:
"I can't help it!βI've thought about this idea before, but I haven't written it myself, and I don't have an idea of how long it is..."
This is the result of handing over the rudder to Yu Baochen - after she expressed it wantonly, the subsequent development was disconnected. Writing, Fun, and Pavilion www.biquge.info and Jiang Yucheng did not know the intention of this novel, nor did he understand other deeper settings, so naturally he had no way to start creating his own creation, so the great cause of the Juche revolution once again fell into an impasse.
"'No way'?!You'll also say'No way'!--What about the next development of the plot?Won't it end with the male protagonist's ascension??And what about the female protagonist?When will the female protagonist join?...
Jiang Yucheng pointed to the word count in the lower left corner of the Word program window and was furious, "Look at this... This... That's only 10,279 words... Maybe it's too short!--I said that the work of the god Wu Nana is limited by space and cannot fully represent the characters - the problem is that the length of your thing is less than one-tenth of the length of a single book!"
"It's not that I deliberately didn't work!... Yu Baochen raised his hands and argued loudly, "The problem is that art needs inspiration, and inspiration needs accumulation..."
"Then you're accumulating quickly!!"
"How is that possible!" Yu Baochen retorted, "'Accumulation' and 'fast' don't want to be tolerated from the meaning of the word!"
Jiang Yucheng was really angry this time: he had enough of the commanding of this natural god general, but if that could bring him victory, it would be fine. But now that this unfinished project has been completed, there is no hope of victory in any case! The current situation is so embarrassing that he can't help but pour out the resentment in his stomach:
"If you're not sure, why don't you say it at the beginning!! we've wasted two days!!You're patting your chest there (this is Jiang Yucheng's rhetorical device - if Yu Baochen really patted his chest, the effect must be very... I promise that it will work, and it will end up with such a bad building?!"
Yu Baochen was completely dumbfounded, although her face was still inflated, but she also knew that this time it was completely her fault, and no matter how much she snorted the "air strike", she couldn't hide her frustration. Jiang Yucheng was also exhausted after such an attack, he sat back in his chair, covered his sour eyes with his right hand and sighed vigorously.
"I'm home for dinner"
Yu Baochen dropped this sentence, and then stood up - the sound of the security door being slammed shut in the corridor was soon heard.
Indeed, it's twelve o'clock. According to the time, it should also be time for lunchβbut Jiang Yucheng sat slumped in his chair, motionless. Now he just feels that he is so tired that he can't even move, let alone eat, and he doesn't even want to move... Ah, even if you don't eat it, it's impossible for my sister not to eat, do you want to order a takeout for her?...
"Really... Another whole morning wasted..."Jiang Yucheng glanced at the date in the lower right corner of the computer screen, "Today is September 29th... If it fails..."
If you fail again, will you be able to finish the work before the end of the eleventh holiday? Maybe it's more useful to hug my sister's leg and cry and beg her not to abandon herself than to confront Nana with words?... Or at least, with these 30,000 words and 10,000 words of wreckage, can she calmly admit defeat to Nana? Haven't you already worked hard? Now Xiaoqi will not easily look down on herself, she should accept these kindly, and then continue to treat herself gently?...
ββ¦ This level of effort is self-soothing at best, and it doesn't give me what I want!"
Damn! Damn it! Why are the words still ringing in my head when everyone is gone?βAre you really trying to the limit?βDo you try hard to comfort yourself, or do you deliberately make a futile effort to comfort yourself?!... Jiang Yucheng felt that his head was going to explode...
"Knock knock!!" There was a knock at the door of the house. Who's going to pop up at this time?... It's annoying... Jiang Yucheng crossed such a thought in his mind, and then continued to lie on the table and stand up...
Seeing that no one came to open the door, the knock turned into a violent gouge of "Bang!" - and with it, there was a passage like ghost animal material - not to mention, it was quite rhythmic:
"Open the door!
You have the ability to rob your sister
You have what it takes to open the door!
Don't hide inside and don't come out, I know you're home!
Open the door!
Open the door, open the door, open the door!
Jiang Yucheng!
You have the ability to rob your sister
You have what it takes to open the door!
β¦β
"Yu Baochen?" Hearing this, Jiang Yucheng frowned -- No! Isn't the Baitou Mountain God surnamed Jin? When did he change his surname to Wang again? Although Jiang Yucheng was still reluctant to move, but now Yu Baochen obviously didn't want Jiang Yucheng to stop, so he could only support his fat body and walk to the door step by step to open the door for her.
"What's going on?" Jiang Yucheng asked impatiently, "What are you doing?"
"I see!-"
Yu Baochen's face reappeared with excitement - she did not answer Jiang Yucheng's question, but first talked to herself, "- We made a strategic mistake!"
"Clams?" Jiang Yucheng didn't follow the general's train of thought at all, "What are you talking about?"
"I'm telling you... Wait," said the god and began to breathe, "... I'm hungry!"
Being reminded by Yu Baochen like this, Jiang Yucheng also felt that his stomach was burning - that's right, after being forced out of his seat by Yu Baochen, Jiang Yucheng's numb nerves finally sent him a hunger signal.
"I said... Aren't you going back to dinner?"
"Nonsense," in a state of hunger, people often don't think through their brains when they speakβso Jiang Yucheng's mentally retarded problem was naturally despised by Yu Baochen, "It's only been a few minutes? I just walked out and ran back not far away! Don't you know how to cook?"
"Yes, yes..."
"Then cook for me!"
Where did this evil daughter-in-law come from, did she treat me as a good mother-in-law who bullied?--Although she is indeed good at cooking, Jiang Yucheng really doesn't want to go into the kitchen to work anymore:
"Forget it, don't toss... Let's go out to eat. β

What is the fastest legend in the Northeast?
This question, in the eyes of different people, has different answers.
In Jiang Yucheng's view, the answer to this question is the Hanyang Hotel on the side of the college road opposite his own community.
On the surface, it's just an ordinary North Korean restaurant β a Chinese-run Korean restaurant that serves Korean cuisine featuring dog meat (rather than "Korean barbecue") that can be found everywhere in the three eastern provinces, and there was nothing special about it.
But this ordinary appearance can't hide its inner ox X.
That's right - "the fastest legend in the Northeast"...
The food at Hanyang Hotel is served at an extremely fast pace, almost abnormally fast. Normally, it takes only 10 seconds to serve rice, 15 seconds for bibimbap, and about 30 seconds for cold dog meat or spicy cod β which, by the way, starts with the name of the dish being spoken. Often the waiter has not finished ordering, and the dish comes up. This speed not only completely destroyed many ordinary restaurants, but even KPC and Lanlan Road (Note 1), which are famous for their fast speed, can only be hung up and beaten in front of this store...
"We were wrong!"
Yu Baochen slammed the dog meat into his mouth while waving his chopsticks and screaming-Jiang Yucheng had long known that she was not the kind of girl who would fold the used toilet paper neatly when eating, but he had never seen her act like this.
"Not only were we wrong, we were very wrong!" -- we made a strategic mistake!"
"Hey, hey, we know..."Jiang Yucheng held the bibimbap in a stone pot and said vaguely, "You should always tell me what is wrong!"
"Our problem is that you lack talent and I lack experience, Nana is both," Yu Baochen said straight to the point, "I originally thought that the two of us could win by working together, but the problem is that one plus one does not necessarily equal two!"
"What do you mean..."
"We were wrong from the beginning!!" Yu Baochen continued, "We want to study her routines and use a 'web article' to defeat her -- it's no fun! It's impossible! Because no matter how much we study her, none of us can learn ten out of ten of the skills of the web text, and in the end we will still get inferior web texts!"
Jiang Yucheng also realized this -- if he wanted to learn the routine of the god and witch Nana to write articles, wouldn't that be a typical Handan toddler, Dong Shi Xiaofeng! In this way, the articles he wrote would definitely be beaten to death by Nana...
"Taizu said: You beat yours, I beat mine. At this point, the gods will become more and more excited, "We're going to open up new battlefields -- we're going to use real art to give her a taste of it!"
"Real art?" Jiang Yucheng frowned, "But how can we..."
"Of course not! We can't learn 10 percent of real art -- but even then, what we get is a high-level web article!"
That sounds like it makes a lot of sense... The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and even if the "real art" is inferior, I am afraid it is much better than the online article. However, with this, new problems arise:
"So, what does it mean to be true art?"
"How?" Yu Baochen didn't answer this question directly, "Don't ask me!
Art... Art... Jiang Yucheng thought about it, and a sentence that he had mentioned in middle school art class suddenly broke into his mind:
"Art...... Born from life and higher than life?"
"Yes!
"The question is, how can I do it..."Because of the previous two failures, Jiang Yucheng now seems a little lacking in confidence.
"What is the origin of the online article?" Yu Baochen was not in a hurry to answer directly, but quickly gave a question.
"The origin of the online text?" Jiang Yucheng was askedβof course he could think of many answers, but those were not necessarily what Yu Baochen wanted, "Yes..."
"It's 'desire'! -- life is born with insufficient desires, and writing imaginatively in order to satisfy them... This is the online article!" Yu Baochen still gave his own answer to this question, "No matter how well the online article is written, it is just a projection of life -- the product of desire! The origin of art is different: the origin of art is life itself -- so art is more sophisticated, more multi-dimensional, and more flesh and blood..."
"However, I still can't learn..."Jiang Yucheng didn't feel that Yu Baochen's explanation gave him any confidence.
"Yes, if you want to make art, you have to start from reality and sublimate it..."Yu Baochen patiently explained, "Don't forget - reality is something you encounter every day!"
"But it's too hard to sublimate!"
"It's not 'that hard'!"
"But it has to be higher than life!"
"Don't be 'so tall'!"
Wait..."Don't be that high?"What's going on?"
"You just have to be a little bit taller. Yu Baochen pretended to be meaningful.
"A little higher?"
"Yes, a little higher, if you can't refine the reality, then you can copy it with a lot of time, and the copying is the copy of the copy!"
Yu Baochen paused, grabbed the cup on the table, drank the barley tea inside, and then picked up a piece of mentai fish, and said while chewing: "Copy it stroke by stroke according to reality, and the more specific and similar it is, the better! Then use these realities to arrange and combine, and piece together the article you need!"
"Patchwork?" Hearing this word, Jiang Yucheng subconsciously frowned, "Wouldn't that be incongruous?"
"No, because that's reality, and there's always a seamless connection between reality and reality... Crude copying is better than the delusion of perfection -- if online texts have an irrepressible attraction to netizens, then art that originates from reality will naturally have an incomparably great appeal to everyone living in reality! At that time, Nana's works will not be comparable to them at all!"
Here we go again -- again with this attitude of directing everything to the country. But under Yu Baochen's encouragement, Jiang Yucheng was still a little moved:
"That's... So what should I write..."
"What to write? Don't ask me! Ask yourself! What to write about?" Yu Baochen asked again like a series of rhetorical questions, "In order to get back your X empty account, in order to make a name for yourself on the Internet, in order to give Nana a little color?"
Jiang Yucheng was stunned - yes, what did he write it for? If it was in the past, Jiang Yucheng might have hesitated - but now, since he expressed his mind to Shanshan, the answer to this question no longer needs to be thought about at all:
"I am... I wrote it for Shanshan!" Jiang Yucheng said loudly - "I am here to keep my sister! to keep my illustrator!! More importantly, to keep the bond between me and Shanshan and the right-hand king!!
"That's right!" Yu Baochen waved his hand heartily, and everything that followed seemed to be taken for granted, "The bond of brother and sister, the trust of partners, do you think Nana will have these things! She won't--this is exclusive to you, a unique killer feature! So, don't worry, copy it boldly! It is impossible for us to fully copy these incomparably powerful things in reality, but even if the strength is weakened, it is still reality, much more powerful than any form of online text!" Nana can't beat you, she can't overcome this emotion and bond - because!!Because !! because of !!!!......"
Having said this, Yu Baochen was almost out of breath - it took her a long time to say the last few words:
"For man and the soul of man are communicated!!......
Yes, yes... That's it!! Jiang Yucheng also became enthusiastic again. Although she is inferior to Nana in all aspects--at least, this affection for Shanshan, and the common memory of working with the right-hand king for a year, will never lose to her! No matter how outstanding Nana's talent is, it can't replace her own, this bond that has been condensed with time and blood!
Note 1: KPC, that is, "Kendaji PureChicken", the whole process of "Kendaji PureChicken", according to its CEO, Mr. Tang Jiru, the father of Mr. Tang Maru, a yellow connoisseur, the company's philosophy is "Saved Gay (Cantonese)", and every chicken sold is so pure... (Note 2)
Some of the unsolicited words and gestures of Ronald McDonald in the McDonald's image advertisement broadcast by District 11 have become sought-after spoof materials on the video distribution website of District 11. Later, this spoof spread to China and even to the United States, the hometown of McDonald's. And Ronald McDonald also won the titles of "Ghost Animal Taoist Master" (Taoist Master is the Japanese translation of clown) and "Blue Road Sect Master".
Note 2: I am sick again today - KPC is from the second episode of the second season of "The Big Incident", and the original work is a series of advertisements about food safety made by KFC. The boss of "KPC" is played by Tang Maru, the "violent male god" (who plays the boss of KPC here, Tang Jiru, is distinguished by whether he wears glasses or not - although Tang Jiru's commercials in NC commercials usually do not wear glasses). By the way, I would like to remind all underage readers - children don't watch violent comics!!
