Chapter 204: The Time Train Flies By
"One in ten chance, I don't think I'm so unlucky that I'll be assigned to the class of old-fashioned girls, right?"
A saliva-provocative QQ message was published in the QQ group of students in the first and second classes of high school, and the people in the entire QQ group were all students in the class, and the above message was published by Lin Yang's tablemate-Xu Quanhuan.

People who plan for a rainy day will always think long-term.
One stone stirs up a thousand waves.
No, just over halfway through the first year of high school, the students were already discussing the matter of choosing subjects in the second year of high school in private.
"Xu Duhuan, this is not necessarily, everything is in the dark, and small probability events may also happen."
Xu Qianhuan then replied: "Get out!" (plus 3 kitchen knives)
Lin Yang closed his mouth happily, and then the class leader Chen Jinghui came out to join in the fun and made a speech: "Xu Duhuan, if you are in the class after the Chinese teacher in the second year of high school, we will go to buy lottery tickets."
"Good!" Xu Qianhuan replied.
The following is a variety of ridicule about subject selection, but most students are not optimistic about the occurrence of small probability events.
After all, in this era when no one pays attention to the normal emotion of publishing, and the publication is similar to falling and crazy likes, it is not surprising.
Zhan Shuzhi is Lin Yang's high school Chinese teacher, a very impersonal, old-fashioned and taciturn older leftover girl.
Don't look at her as a female streamer, but the classmates don't dare to underestimate her, but whenever Zhan Shuzhi raises her voice, the whole class will tremble!
Xu Qianhuan and Zhan Shuzhi's personalities are incompatible, simply put, they are not good.
Xu Qianhuan has a lazy personality on weekdays, and Zhan Shuzhi is rigorous in teaching, and she can't see a student who hangs her child, so in the first semester of the first year of high school, Zhan Shujuan and Xu Qianhuan had a lot of needles against Mai Mang, but they all ended in Xu Qianhuan's failure.
At the beginning of the second semester of the first year of high school, there was gossip that the "old-fashioned girl" Zhan Shuzhi would continue to teach the second year of high school.
Although Xu Qianhuan usually hangs his son, his academic performance is not bad, and when he heard that Zhan Shuzhi would continue to teach the second year of high school, Xu Qianhuan would send a message to complain and pray that he would not be assigned to Zhan Shuzhi's class in the future.
It was March 2004, a humid weekend.
Starry Sky Internet Cafe.
"Ten years ago, I didn't know you, you didn't belong to me, we were still the same, with a stranger......"
The stereo of the Star Internet café is playing the most popular songs nowadays, Eason Chan's "Ten Years", Jay Chou's "Qili Xiang", Lin Junjie's "Jiangnan", and Daolang's "The First Date in 2002......
One song after another.
Also, Yang Chengang's "Mice Love Rice".
Listening to these most familiar music in his previous life and youth, Lin Yang's heart couldn't help but spread a sense of crisis that did not wait for me, and he was in an irritable mood, so he simply closed the QQ group page of the "Nanzhong 03 Class 1 and 2 High School".
Lin Yang sat in front of the computer, stretched out his hand to manipulate the mouse, opened the author's backstage, and then came to the subscription page of the novel "Knife Shattering the Sky":
Average subscription per chapter: 890
Maximum subscription for a single chapter: 1520
In the face of the continuous and slowly rising novel subscription results, Lin Yang's mood was not too good.
Today, "Knife Shattering the Sky" has been on the shelves for more than half a year, and the total number of words in this novel has also exceeded the 1.1 million word mark.
Lin Yang's manuscript fee also rose with the tide.
From less than 2,000 yuan a month at the beginning, to about 5,000 yuan a month now, the creation of "Knife Shattering the Sky" has finally entered a stable period.
Lin Yang's personal bank deposit also successfully exceeded 10,000 yuan.
10,000 yuan, in China in 2004, what can be done?
Lin Yang thought about it for a long time, but he didn't come up with a reason.
Beijing: At the beginning of 2004, the average selling price of commercial housing in the city was 5,052 yuan per square meter, compared with 2003, the average annual growth rate was 18.1%.
Shanghai: At the beginning of 2004, the average sales price per square meter in Shanghai reached 6,385 yuan, an average annual increase of 15.9% compared with 2003.
Guangzhou: At the beginning of 2004, the average unit price of residential buildings in Guangzhou was 4,618 yuan per square meter, an average increase of 12.6% over 2003.
Shenzhen: At the beginning of 2004, the average unit price of residential buildings in Shenzhen was 6,385 yuan per square meter, an average annual increase of 15.2% compared with 2003.
With an average annual growth rate of 15.2%, it is estimated that the housing price in Shenzhen will exceed 100,000 per square meter in ten years. ”
……
Looking at the latest housing price information about China's first-tier cities in early 2004 on the news website, Lin Yang suddenly felt a little flustered.
With Lin Yang's current savings of more than 10,000 yuan, even if he doesn't eat or drink, he can barely buy a 2-square-meter space to put a stool in Shenzhen, and as for a house of more than 100 square meters, he doesn't even think about it.
Although, at the beginning of 2004, the Internet era has gradually taken its pace, but in the final analysis, most people's consumption habits are still in the stage of the real world, and they are in the years of trying to contact with the Internet.
Therefore, in 2004, the manuscript fees and royalties that can be earned by publishing physical books are far more than the manuscript fees obtained by subscribing to online novels.
This is also the fundamental reason why Han Han, Guo Jingming and other cutting-edge writers born in the 80s can occupy the top of the writers' rich list in this year.
If nothing else, in another two or three years, with the strong rise of the Internet and the change of readers' reading habits, the manuscript fees earned by online novel authors for writing novels, such as the income of online writers such as Tang Sanshao and I Eat Tomatoes, will quickly exceed the income of a large number of famous writers of physical books.
This is the general trend of the times, and no one can stop it.
But now, it is only in March 2004, and Lin Yang at this time urgently needs to earn a considerable income in case of emergency.
Thinking of this, Lin Yang simply cheeky, skillfully tapping on the keyboard, and took the initiative to send a QQ message to his editor-in-chief - "Bao Jianfeng".
Lin Yang: "Hello editor-in-chief, excuse me, I would like to ask you what are the specific requirements for the publication of online novels into physical books?" Will my book "Shattering the Sky" have any chance of being published? Thank you. (smiles)"
After all, Bao Jianfeng is not an online editor in the traditional sense, he is not only the editor-in-chief, but also one of the main founders of the starting point, there are too many things that need to be managed by him, and his free time is far less than that of ordinary online editors.
Lin Yang waited for a long time, but he didn't receive a reply from him.
To be honest, Lin Yang's heart began to be a little scared.
Maybe it's been these years, a comfortable and comfortable life, but it's too easy and pleasant, and Lin Yang's ambition has gradually been corroded completely.
It wasn't until recently that Lin Yang, who was used to being willful, really began to re-examine the question of his future, and he felt that the time and opportunities he could use were getting less and less.
This is an interesting question.
In fact, like Lin Yang, most people have this feeling.
As I get older, time seems to pass faster and faster.
There are actually two implications of this question.
First of all, in Lin Yang's memories, the closer the time, the faster time passes.
In Lin Yang's memory, a childhood summer seems to be incomparably long.
And when Lin Yang was seventeen years old, the summer time, even before he noticed it coming, quietly slipped away.
At the same time, Lin Yang's feelings about the "now" are also slowly accelerating as he grows older.
A boring journey can be considered difficult for children, so they always ask, "Is it there?" Is it there? ”
Adults, on the other hand, have much better patience.
When it comes to time, young people usually come up with metaphors like "a calm sea without waves", and the popular phrase "the years are quiet" probably means that.
The old man's metaphors are mostly similar to "speeding trains", and similar experiments have been repeated many times over the past 100 years, all of which have yielded the same results.
The proportion of time in a person's memory is not the same.
For example, when you are 1 year old, 1 year is the whole of your life.
When you're 50 years old, 1 year is only 2% of your life.
In this way, the longer your life, the smaller the proportion of 1 year. This means that making a 5-year-old wait 24 days for Christmas is the equivalent of making a 54-year-old wait 1 year.
At this time, Lin Yang, who was already 17 years old, was wandering at the crossroads of the adult world.
He had thoroughly felt the rapid passage of time.
If he doesn't grasp the moment now, when will he wait?
