Chapter 001: Back to the old business

Next Chapter

At nine o'clock in the evening, Chang Tian walked out of the company building and walked home. He is an online editor who works for one of the largest online text groups in China.

He began to miss the years when he was a writer, and he missed the time before he was a writer. But as it is now, when reading has changed from a hobby to a job to earn a living, the pleasure of reading will be greatly reduced.

Chang Tian now reads hundreds of books a day. He has to follow up on the books that the contracted authors he is responsible for are updating, when to give recommendations, when to put them on the shelves, subscriptions, manuscript fee settlements and other businesses, and when there are elements such as disharmony and extreme views in the book, he has to remind and stop them in time. He also has to pay attention to the new books uploaded by new authors, which ones can be signed directly and which ones are worth following up. These things are very brain-draining and tiring, overtime is frequent, and sometimes you have to work at home on weekends.

Walking and walking, the call came, it was "Bai Xiaosheng", a contracted author who was in charge of Chang Tian.

Bai Xiaosheng: "The sky is big, do you think this Sunday will reward me for a classification and strong recommendation?" ”

Chang Tian: "You should keep it stable and up-to-date first, your book is only 90,000 words." ”

Bai Xiaosheng seemed a little dissatisfied: "Our 'kick you to death' in the same group, he has 80,000 words on the classification and pushes, you have to treat everyone equally!" ”

Chang Tian: "The fantasy you wrote is popular, and the competition he wrote is unpopular, the situation is different." ”

Bai Xiaosheng suddenly said indignantly: "Excuse! I know you don't like it, and it took me 600,000 words to put my last book on the shelves. I can't play you, I'll change the group. After speaking, Bai Xiaosheng hung up the phone.

Chang Tian smiled bitterly, raised his head and sighed: "Hey, those who know me say that I am worried, and those who don't know me say that I am....ahhh ”

The manhole cover of a sewer on the sidewalk was not covered, and Chang Tian, who was reciting poetry in the sky, did not find it, so he fell into the pit....

I don't know how long it took, Chang Tian opened his eyes. Hey? Where is this? The sewers couldn't have been so clean.

This is a bedroom, more than a dozen square meters, a bed, a desk, a computer, and a simple wardrobe. Chang Tian rolled over from the bed and watched everything in front of him.

A voice that was neither male nor female, neither yin nor yang suddenly sounded in Chang Tian's mind, "Memory fusion begins." Chang Tian, male, 28 years old. Chang Zheng, male, 23 years old...."

Ten minutes later, Chang Tian probably knew what was going on. He began writing online novels at the age of eighteen, and wrote them for five years, completing five books and four eunuchs, with a cumulative writing count of 11 million words. At the age of twenty-three, he was admitted to the job of applying for an online text editor, and worked as an online editor for another five years. Specialized knowledge such as rebirth, time travel, other worlds, and parallel worlds, he has to study every day.

Therefore, he can quickly understand and accept the reality that he is reborn in a parallel world on Earth. After the memories merged, he learned that he was now called Chang Zheng, twenty-three years old, his hometown was in a small city thousands of miles away, his parents were still there, and his younger brother was in high school. It's been a year since I graduated from college, and now I'm an online writer.

Chang Tian patted his chest, and said to himself with a somewhat complicated expression: "Chang Zheng... I've read too many online articles, so do you have to be reborn and travel once? Xiaolan, take care of yourself. "Chang Tian's parents left early, he is an only child, and the only thing he misses on the earth is his girlfriend Xiaolan.

According to the routine in the novel, there are many things that can be done after being reborn, such as speculating in stocks, buying and buying houses, gambling on the World Cup, chasing childhood sweethearts, slapping all kinds of X generations in the face, crisscrossing the city, and ruling the world. The Reborn are generally busy.

After Chang Zheng learned about the world through the Internet, he found that there wasn't much he could do now. This world is very similar to the earth, but it is also a little different, and it is now August 1, 2288 Eastern Era, the Republic of Tianhua. Tianhuaguo's stock index is 4,008 points, the average house price in Nangang City, where Changzheng is located, is more than 20,000 yuan, and the World Cup ended last year, and the Federal Republic of Germany from Euro won the championship. By all indications, there is no difference between 2015 and 2015 on Earth. The biggest golden finger of the reborn is the ability to predict the future, and Chang Zheng doesn't seem to have this golden finger now.

"It seems that not every reborn is so lucky." , Chang Zheng walked out of the bedroom and patrolled his territory. It is a one-bedroom house with a total area of about 50 square meters, and the rent is 1,300 per month.

When he came to the bathroom, Chang Zheng looked at himself in the mirror, one meter seven or eight tall, with slightly thick eyebrows, small eyes but very spirited, and a young man's vitality, this is what he looked like when he was in his early twenties.

After going out and strolling around the street, Chang Zheng found that this Nangang City is a very prosperous southern coastal city, with a resident population of 10 million, and there is a lot of traffic and people coming and going. I found a bank and checked my bank card balance, 4,527 yuan, which can last for two or three months.

After a simple dinner and a pack of cigarettes, Chang Zheng returned to the rented house. I turned on the computer and went on a web novel website called "Fenghua Literature Network". The original Chang Zheng posted on this website.

Looking at it, Chang Zheng's expression changed more and more, surprise, excitement, excitement, all kinds of emotions. From seven o'clock in the evening to twelve o'clock in the evening, Chang Zheng never left his chair, and he didn't even drink a sip of water.

"Oh my God, is this the chance you gave me!?" , Chang Zheng clenched his fists, extremely excited. Looks like I'm going back to my old job and writing web novels!

After peeing, Chang Zheng lit a cigarette and pondered.

There are also online novels in this world, but the development trend is very different from that on the earth.

Online novels, naturally, there will be online novels only after there is the Internet. In the Chinese country, the motherland of the earth, the Internet began to gradually spread at the end of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century. Online novels also began to develop at the beginning of the 21st century, and in more than ten years, the development has been extremely vigorous, and traditional literature has gradually been replaced by online literature.

In this world, the Internet also began to be popularized more than ten years ago, but the development trend of online novels is very slow. It can't be said to be slow, in fact, the popularity of online novels in this world is already very widespread, and readers in Tianhua Kingdom have been reading online novels for more than ten years.

The difference with the online text on earth is that the form of the online text here is the online text, but God is not. In short, it is to use the online platform to write traditional literature.

The real online novels on the earth, which are different from traditional literature, are characterized by YY elements, fast rhythm, refreshing and easy to understand. Just like bel canto and pop in music, bel canto is definitely high-grade, but the vast majority of people prefer pop music, because pop music is easy to understand and easy to learn to sing. This world pop music is very popular, but real web novels have not appeared, I don't know why? But this shows that the vast majority of ordinary people here still prefer a more popular culture.

So Chang Zheng felt very excited, the opportunity came, I want to be the first pop singer in the online literature industry, the first person to write a real online novel.

There is already an online platform, and now Tianhua has three major online novel websites, namely Fenghua Literature Network, Blue Orange Network and Red Leaf Network, among which the largest and most influential one is Fenghua Literature Network.

As a person with five years of experience in professional writing and five years of experience in online editing, Chang Zheng keenly found that the opportunity may really come. The people of this world still like to read books, but at present, the kind of online articles with YY elements have not yet appeared, but there is no doubt that the potential readership is huge.

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, Chang Zheng began to register an account on Fenghua Literature Online, ready to start his career as a writer again.

The original Chang Zheng, whose pen name was "Red Flag Does Not Fall", wrote a total of three books, the first one was a eunuch, the second one was on the shelves, and the third book was being updated. At present, more than 4,000 yuan in the bank card, that is, the rest of the second book, are more than 600 yuan, a month even a reward plus full attendance, after tax can get an average of two or three thousand remuneration, diligent in those months, more than 10,000 words a day, can get more than three or four thousand, in addition to rent, meals and other necessary expenses, the original standing levy is actually not much to save, fortunately, there is a local tyrant who rewarded 5,000 yuan at one time, in order to save more than 4,000. The third book has written 100,000 words, and Chang Zheng doesn't plan to continue it, so he directly opens a new number.

Without thinking, Chang Zheng took up the pen name "Cangtian", which was his previous pen name, and he also used this name when he was an editor.

"The pen name doesn't work!" A prompt pops up.

"Damn! No, it's occupied. Chang Zheng was speechless and helpless, so he changed it to "the sky returns".

"Congratulations, dear author, you can now create a new work." , this time it was finally possible. The heavens are back, and the writer level is level 1. Newly registered writers are all level 1, and the highest level is level 10.

Chang Zheng has been pondering just now, what type of writing is better? Fenghua Literature Network includes the other two big websites are the same, and there are only four types of novels to choose from, which are martial arts, urban, history, and science fiction. No one has written about the hottest fantasy genre on the planet.

Chang Zheng did not doubt the level of writers in this world at all, he had just watched it for five hours in one breath, and he had to admire the high level of some writers. At the moment, it seems that the hottest ones are martial arts and urban novels.

There are a few people who write martial arts, and they actually write the charm of Jin Yong, Gu Long, and Liang Yusheng. Writing about the city, some people wrote Wang Shuo's ruffian and ridiculous style, and some people wrote the romance taste of Zhang Hate Water Mandarin Duck Butterfly School.

Martial arts are all traditional martial arts written in the traditional martial arts. The city is mainly based on life, love and hatred, and no one writes about superpowers. It's not that these writers can't write about fantasy, fairy tales, urban abilities and other genres that are popular on the earth, but they probably don't think in these directions. Just like the literary world before the 21st century on the earth, everyone's thinking stayed on the traditional literary model, and no one studied the routines such as crossing, rebirth, upgrading and fighting monsters, infinite copies, and crossing the catastrophe and ascending.

Compared with martial arts and cities, the popularity of history and science fiction is much lower.

The historical type, there are no traversers, they are all aborigines, and the main tone is similar to the ancient vernacular novels such as the Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties and the Quan Biography of Yue Yue. The history of Tianhua Kingdom is different from the history of China, although there are also 5,000 years of oriental civilization, but the names of each dynasty are different, and the historical trend is roughly similar, but the specific details are different. Therefore, Chang Zheng did not plan to touch historical themes before he figured out the history of Tianhua Kingdom.

Science fiction is basically based on short and medium stories, and few people write long science fiction novels.

"It's sci-fi!" , Chang Zheng has made up his mind, and plans to write a science fiction novel to test the water.

As for what to write specifically, he had already thought about it, so he wrote "Infinite Terror".
