Chapter Sixty-Four: Dressed to look thin, stripped with flesh
After learning the first two hands of the Three Sparrow Hands from Gu Youxiang, Xu Teng would get up half an hour early every day and go to Nightingale Mountain to practice several times, as a classical aerobics, the effect is really amazing.
He is just playing, pretending to be cool and handsome, not seeking to be a master and lonely, but seeking a figure that makes people want to commit crimes, and at critical moments, he can resist female perverts who want to commit crimes, such as Song Yuanyuan, at least not as miserable as Chen Jian, and can only be bullied by female perverts.
If one day, Song Xiaowitch wants to play Double Dragon and Phoenix, and even he has to be included in the boudoir, don't blame him for suddenly making a trick behind his back.
Alas.
Man, handsome to his kind of Cheng dù is also troublesome!
In the past few days, Xu Teng has been very quiet and comfortable, he still has classes in the morning, and in the afternoon he has dealt with the affairs of the student union and Tiantian Company, and then he goes back to the dormitory to revise the manuscript.
"Source Code" has been officially finalized, and he has been revising "Interstellar" these days, which is also an excellent subject that tortures human nature, pretending to be a must-have, "Inception" and "Moon" can only make ends meet, and "Pacific Rim" and "Edge of Tomorrow" are completely unable to carry this characteristic.
It would be too pretentious to torture the darkness and desolation of human nature in an extremely desolate and merciless way, as Kasazna Hokai did, but this is the premise of winning the award and becoming famous.
In the history of literature, all works that promote positive energy are dead, and only novels that torture the dark side of human nature can win awards.
In the past two days, Xu Teng has made a final decision.
It was not easy for Da Liu to come up with "The Three-Body Problem", he didn't go to steal, he was too undisciplined, and directly on the basis of the two volumes of "Dark Forest" that he had already written, he put aside the idea of "The Three-Body Problem", re-overhauled it, and changed it to a new "Dark Universe".
Because he has sublimated, he has reached another realm.
He was full of compassion, ridicule, and anxiety not only for the small race of human beings, but also for those races that crisscrossed the universe, watching their brilliant civilization disappear in an instant before the darkness of divinity.
The new story is more network culture, and several Earth teenagers and teenagers from several other planets have been chosen to become candidates for the next "god" of the Odin civilization.
Any civilization that develops to a certain level will give birth to immortals, legendary "gods".
The darkness is as always, the entire universe is under the tyrannical rule of a group of self-proclaimed immortal temples, and any other civilization that has the opportunity to continue to develop will surely be wiped out.
This is an absolutely dark universe, as long as civilization is developing, it will eventually collapse, the reason why the earth has not been destroyed is because the earth civilization is still very weak, and the second is that it can destroy itself, and it is not worth the intervention of god-level civilization.
The Odin civilization of more than a dozen planets and colonized stars, tens of billions of people, countless beauties, and countless handsome guys, were crushed into a two-dimensional world in a second, turned into a map, from an organism to an inorganic body, decomposed, from a cell, from a molecule to an atom.
The last heroes are just a bunch of ordinary people, a few from Earth, and some from the Ostonian civilization itself, burning, sacrificing, but unable to save anyone.
Until the end, they lead the last race to escape to Earth with the quasi-god-level protagonist, where they survive, while the protagonist wanders on the edge of the universe, evading pursuit.
No one knows what the outcome of the earth's civilization will be, they only have time, a few hundred years or so, maybe not even a few hundred years.
There is no answer to this "Dark Universe", only one question, as a small and pitiful human being, where should you go in this dark universe?
Oh yes.
Torture you judges!
Torture you old pretending criminals, compare with me, you all have to die!
Xu Teng is basically rewriting "Interstellar" with this mentality, releasing the last bit of human warmth in the endless darkness, and questioning with a very obscure metaphor, if only rely on this kind of accidental human hero, will human beings still have the value of existence?
He roughly has a standard, as long as he doesn't dare to read it again after changing it, it's good, it's done.
To be honest, he really feels that he is more cruel than Kasazna Hokai, but at the end of the story, the superficiality gives a warm result, such as in "Dark Universe", the protagonist does not die, but hides and wanders at the edge of the universe, waiting for the last ray of hope.
For example, in "Interstellar", humanity has a safe fortress at least temporarily to continue to reproduce, and the protagonist can also find the woman he loves and develop a barren planet together.
It was already half past eleven o'clock in the evening, Xu Teng sent the electronic version of "Source Code" to Yan Xiaoqing, officially invited her to translate the book, opened the mailbox, and found a letter that had just been received at noon.
LaszloBock, the editor of the Daily Science Fiction website, wrote an extra-long letter to Xu Teng, revising the first few chapters of his published "Blue Star Giant", and more than a few hundred sentences of modifiers to be adjusted.
This person means that the way you write is "very unfriendly", which is literally.
Xu Teng hurriedly sent a text message to Xia Li, sent the other party's original sentence over, and asked her if there was any other way to understand, Xia Li probably fell asleep, and replied after a few minutes - not popular enough, not the best way.
Dizzy.
Xu Teng didn't know how to solve this trouble, so he could only reply to the other party, reminding the other party that he was a Chinese author, and that someone else had translated it for him, and that although the translator was an English major, it was impossible to fully understand American science fiction culture, and it was impossible to write in a more popular way, at most it was a textbook-style grammatical structure.
CET-6, which is of little practical use.
He called Gu Chen and Jian Chen over and helped him write a reply letter together.
It is estimated that the other party should wait until tomorrow morning to reply, Xu Teng went to take a bath, just half of the wash, the mobile phone rang, Chen Jian helped him answer, and listened to it for a long time before a half-baked English came out, "Sorry, Iwashisfriend."
With a flick of his hand, he threw it directly to Gu Chen and hid to the side.
No, Chen Jian, who had just finished the sixth level exam and scored 73 points, was also a little sad, and almost didn't understand what the other party said.
“Sorry,Iwashisanotherfriend.” Gu Chen was also panicked, this is still a fourth-level 89 points, and he has learned English for so many years, so he hurriedly threw it back to Jian Chen.
Chen Jian could only bite the bullet and continue to answer the phone, and he could still support it, because his family had invited a foreign teacher to take a small class alone, and he was ready to send him to study abroad.
Xu Teng already knew who was calling, because he didn't have any other international friends at all, and the first one he just met was the editor of Boke, who hurriedly dried his body, put on a pair of wet slippers, wrapped in a nightgown, and hurried out.
He didn't grab the phone because his speaking level was much worse than Jian Chen's.
Stammered and talked for a long time.
The other party asked Xu Teng to send the Chinese version directly, and other manuscripts that have been published in Chinese magazines and publications, as well as related publication materials, they also want.
There happens to be a Chinese editor in the editorial department of "Asimov Science Fiction Magazine", who can generally understand Chinese, and can refer to the original text to help Xu Teng revise it.
This "Blue Star Giant" was circulated several times in the editorial department of the Daily Science Fiction Network, and a total of three editors liked it, and they sent it to the editor-in-chief of "Asimov Science Fiction Magazine" next door, and at the same time wrote back to Xu Teng, asking him to find a way to revise it well.
Xu Teng sent an email back, reminding the other party to pay attention to the information, his English level is limited, and it is impossible to make such a "kind" manuscript, in other words, you can ask for it, if you can't ask for it, don't expect me to revise it, I really can't change it.
As a result, at the same time, the editor-in-chief of Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine had already decided to serialize this "Blue Star Giant".
The editor-in-chief is Harve Bennett, a big bull in the American science fiction industry, Gu Chen can search for information about this person without going over the wall, because this uncle has participated in the script creation of "Star Trek" Part 2, 3, 4, and 5...... Later, there was no more, it is estimated that Jiang Lang was exhausted, and his screenwriting career came to an abrupt end.
So what, people have played movie screenwriting anyway, and the vast majority of science fiction writers and editors don't even have a chance.
It's a great piece.
HarveBennett, editor-in-chief, directly gave a terrifying praise, and after querying the phone number in Xu Teng's registered account, he didn't consider that China Mobile was a two-way charge, and called directly.
The old man, estimated to be in his sixties, is very excited, the speed of speech is a little fast, and the speech is still a little unclear, Chen Jian is a little dizzy, and often asks the old man to repeat it like a repeater.
Coupled with filling in various information in the column of the Daily Science Fiction Network, a few people in the 1404 dormitory tossed for an hour to finally get a qiē.
Jian Chen was a little frightened, looking at Xu Teng, who was only wrapped in a nightgown and his hair was still wet, "Second master, you are really against the sky now, you have played Asimov magazine, you are talented, I will be suppressed by you and I can't fight back." ”
"Am I handsome?"
"Handsome. ”
"You just admit it, am I more handsome and cooler than you?" Xu Teng decided to take advantage of the hot iron to force the male god to admit this reality.
"You're too rebellious. Jian Chen was speechless, "In the words of your eldest sister Jiang, you are handsome in clothes and thin in clothes, and you are handsome in undressing, and I really can't compare." ”
"Dizzy, she found out about this, when did she peep?" Xu Teng was also speechless, he didn't expect Jiang Yingyu's adjectives to be so accurate.
He is not like Chen Jian playing fitness, but purely by practicing national arts, the muscle lines are hard, flexible and slender, and not strong, at least the shoulders of the body will not be particularly wide, which makes him look thin, and he has abdominal muscles and chest muscles when he takes off his clothes, which has meat and career lines.
Let's put it this way, he would rather not be able to beat Song Yuanyuan for the rest of his life, and he will never give up his life goal of being handsome, and he has no intention of training his strength to compete with it. Even if he was beaten into a vegetative state by Song Yuanyuan and lying on a bed in the People's Hospital, he would have to be the most handsome vegetative person.
This is not superficial, because this is a superficial era where everyone looks at the face and the figure.
"Third master, you talked with others for a long time, and you forgot to ask the second master the most critical question. Gu Chen is typical who does not speak English, but can understand, especially the spoken English of Chinese, and understands it very well, "How much is the manuscript fee, you didn't ask." ”
"Grass, it's all on Asimov, what more do we need? "Xu Teng has been a little poor recently, with hundreds of thousands of debts, and he doesn't have the heart to manage money at this time.
Zhao Pu never dared to interject.
For the 10 million shares promised by Xu Teng, he has been enduring the two handsome forces and Gu Dashen, and finally decided to speak at this moment to celebrate the explosion of Xu Teng's forced spirit, "Let's go, go for supper, I'm in for a treat, I must have a drink today." ”
"Forget it, dressing thin, undressing and having meat is handsome, the price is very high, supper is absolutely forbidden, no matter how hungry you are, you can't eat protein and starch at night. Xu Teng smiled very handsomely, his perseverance was unfathomable, "Sleep, celebrate tomorrow." ”
"Dizzy, weren't you very excited just now?" Zhao Pu was really speechless, and he didn't have a common language with these two handsome people.
"You don't understand the second master, going to Asimov is just a part of the peerless pretending to be a miracle, the ultimate goal is to be so handsome that he has no friends, the goal is to all female fans in the world, and he will never give us ordinary men a trace of life. Gu Chen understands Xu Teng very well, he has already seen through it, Jian Chen just subconsciously has this kind of goal, and it appears from time to time, but Xu Teng is directly towards this goal.
Who dares to stop this big scourge, the boat of friendship will capsize, Gu Chen estimates that he and Jian Chen are no exception, that Qi Xiaopeng is really smart, he doesn't dare to stop, run, run as far as he can, he must stay away from this big scourge.
"Yes. Zhao Pu was completely speechless, buried his head in sleep, what 20 million? can't bear it, 10 million will be cut off immediately, he must break off diplomatic relations, and if he endures it for one more day, he wants to die.
