Chapter 158: The Age of Black Iron

Practice long-distance running on rugged mountain roads, sweat on the course to hone your ball skills, dive in the stream and swim to catch fish......

After receiving the admission letter from Nanshan Middle School, in the boring days of waiting for the opening report and military training, Lin Yang was exposed to the sun all day long, the infinite release of hormones in the teenager's body, and his body was much stronger and stronger.

As we approached August, the sky was overcast and gloomy.

In the black clouds over Zhushi Village, the rain had been brewing for several hours without even a drop falling, which made people panic.

Lin Yang is a fish master in the village, well versed in water and fishing skills, he fished back half a bucket of water from the puddle of the creek, the water is filled with fish and shrimp that can still run around and crabs walking sideways, it looks very delicious and clear, and the family can taste a pot of delicious fish soup at night.

"Brother, why did you catch so many little crabs?" Lin Xiaochun put his hands on his cheeks, blinked his eyes, and half-squatted beside him, waiting for Lin Yang to kill the fish.

"Huh? How, have an opinion? Little by little, the raindrops hit his face, Lin Yang washed the mud on the side of the faucet, and also washed away the anxiety and anxiety in his heart, and there was a slight smile in his eyes.

"Tsk...... I said brother, you are so cruel, this little crab is so pitiful, it was caught and eaten by you at such a young age, if its parents knew, how sad it would be. ā€

Lin Yang shook his head, pointed to the crabs in the bucket and said, "It's okay, their whole family is here."

Lin Xiaochun glanced at Lin Yang, and couldn't help but say with disdain: "Bad guy!"

"Don't talk nonsense, what kind of kindness do you pretend to be in front of your brother and me? I don't know you yet, let's say, do you still want to drink fish soup? ā€

Lin Xiaochun pursed his lips, and after being silent for a while, he said weakly: "I want to ......"

"If you want to drink fish soup, you can go to the vegetable garden, pluck some mugwort leaves, and cook fish soup at night."

"Oh, I see." Lin Xiaochun muttered and walked reluctantly to the vegetable garden.

"Uh-huh, that's good, let's go."

Then.

"Lin Yang! At home? ......" Xie Guanbao was at the door of his house, tearing his throat and shouting Lin Yang's name.

"At home, come in, on the faucet." Lin Yang hurriedly responded.

"Oh, yes, why don't you call me to catch fish?" Xie Guanbao rushed over, looked down at the fish, shrimp and crabs in the bucket, and said brightly.

Lin Yang said angrily: "Who knew that you wouldn't be able to get out, and you wouldn't go out at home all day."

"Haha, it's not the same time now, I'm here to tell you a happy event?" Xie Guanbao looked proud and sold Guan Zi to Lin Yang.

"Say, I'll listen." Lin Yang didn't raise his head, he said as he lowered his head and picked up a slender little needle, poked it with a quick movement, and cut open the white ...... of the fish belly

Hand up and knife down!

The movements are clean and neat.

"Lin Yang, I'm going to study in the city too!"

"Really? Which high school to go to? Lin Yang was a little incredulous, he raised his head sharply and glanced at Xie Guanbao.

"It's Meicheng Middle School! My dad asked someone to find a relationship, and he stuffed money, so he barely got in. ā€

Seon lost his horse, but he didn't know if it was a blessing.

Xie Guanbao's high school entrance examination score was a few points worse, and he failed to enter the county key middle school as he wished.

"Oh, that's congratulations, Meicheng Middle School is good, it's a lot better than our county's focus, since you can go there to study, you will have to study more hard in the future."

"Don't worry, I'm going to start studying seriously tomorrow."

Pity the hearts of parents all over the world.

Thinking at the beginning, when Xie Guanbao had no intention of learning, his father didn't bother to care about him, anyway, he didn't like to study since he was a child, and his father didn't have expectations for him, and when he was older, he was like other young people in the village, and after graduating from junior high school, he went out to work to make money, and his father could save a lot of tuition and living expenses.

Since "Star and Moon Shadowless Knife" was rejected by the magazine "Ancient Legend - Martial Arts Edition", Lin Yang has been in the stage of exploration and transformation, and he has never given up his dream of becoming a writer from beginning to end.

Frankly speaking, the book "Xingyue Shadowless Knife" may not reach the level of a physical book, but Lin Yang knows that his martial arts novel is eligible to sign a contract on the Internet station, he has not given up, and still has great expectations for "Xingyue Shadowless Knife", and at the same time, he is also making choices and preparations for the theme of the next book.

In fact, the rise of online novels is closely related to the changes in the way people surf the Internet in the Internet era.

In Lin Yang's view, the development of online literature can be roughly divided into several eras, namely the Stone Age, the Bronze Age, the Black Iron Age, and the Golden Age......

Every advance in the era of online literature is actually closely linked to the progress of the Internet era.

1998 ~ 2000 is the Stone Age of the online text, 2000 ~ 2003 is the Bronze Age of the online text, and from 2003 onwards, the online text will enter the Black Iron Age.

Since 2003, the slogan of "5,000 yuan for computers" (and later even 3,000 yuan) has been shouted by computer manufacturers, which has led to a large number of computers entering the homes of ordinary people and becoming ordinary household appliances like TVs and washing machines. In the field of the Internet, the speed and cost of Internet access are also declining rapidly, and with the popularization of ADSL broadband and more advanced community LAN broadband, home Internet access has become as common as installing cable TV lines.

One consequence of technological progress is that the creative group and the "potential" consumer group of online literature have been expanded simultaneously.

But in between, a problem arises.

The geometric expansion of online text producers (online authors) and consumers (online readers) lacks a sales platform.

Forever free voluntary labor cannot last forever.

Before 2003, online novels were completely free for online readers in Chinese mainland. In addition to the cost of internet and electricity, they don't need to spend a penny on consuming web novels.

Before 2003, almost every author of all online articles and online authors encountered a similar thing: when they sat in front of the computer and typed the keyboard codeword, their family, classmates, and friends saw it, and more or less said to them: You sit in front of the computer every day to code words, spend so much time, so much energy, do you get a penny? What do you feed yourself on?

Literary creation requires a lot of energy, and people's energy is limited, and what can be done in a day is also limited. Those who create part-time works will inevitably affect their work and study because of writing online articles. And those authors who have no work for the time being and can devote all their energy to the creation of online articles have also encountered the same problem without exception: the problem of eating.

Before 2003, in the online literature circle, the vast majority of online writers, the only way out to solve the problem of eating was mixed publication - through the Internet, like Lin Yang, to submit "Ancient Legends. Martial Arts Edition", or submit to the Hong Kong and Taiwan Publishing House, and support yourself with a little manuscript fee you get there.

After several years of cultivation, the online literature market has cultivated a large number of readers who are willing to pay to read books.

It was in the context of such an era that it was established.

The starting point was founded in June 2002, and in October 2003, the official VIP paid reading system was launched.

It's not too early or too late, it's just right.

Lin Yang knew that his own era might really come.
