Chapter 139: Rebirth Stream in the Bud
At about 11 o'clock in the evening of October 19, there was still a faint light in the cracks of the roller shutter door of the "small bookstore" on the outskirts of Hengyang City, Hunan Province.
There is a small lamp on the cash register in the store, and the taciturn congratulatory Nan is writing and drawing on the exercise book in front of him, his expression is very focused, although the eyes behind the thick glasses are squinted, but there is no trace of sleepiness, he seems to be more energetic in the middle of the night than during the day.
In his hand was a copy of "The Great Sword of Rebirth", and I saw that in the process of writing and drawing, he turned a few pages of "The Great Sword of Rebirth" from time to time, and the exercise book in front of him was half full.
In the silence of the shop, only the sound of him writing and scratching, and the occasional sound of turning a paper. A black cat about a foot long came down the stairs behind him silently, crept up to his lap with soothing and graceful steps, and without him noticing, suddenly sped up and crawled down his trouser legs into his arms, and his nimble little head popped out of his chest/mouth, and looked up at him, and then at the exercise book in front of him.
A black cat suddenly climbed up on the body, and most people would be startled, but Congratulations Nan only frowned slightly, when the black cat's little head was turned around, he calmly pressed its little head down with his left hand, the black cat obviously hadn't seen enough, the little head just pressed down, and it came out again in a different direction.
"Don't make a fuss! It's itchy, isn't it? ”
Congratulations Nan didn't even look at it, once again reached out and pressed its little head down, and gave a faint warning, what was surprising was that the black cat seemed to understand his threat, whined lightly, honestly, and obediently nestled on his lap motionless.
Congratulations to Nan for continuing to write about his things, indifferent like a little old man.
He wrote until one o'clock in the morning, when he finally put down the ballpoint pen in his hand, took off his glasses on the bridge of his nose, and rubbed his eyes. pinched his eyebrows, looking unhappy or sad.
In real life, his character is very unlikable, and he can't see any youthful vitality on his body, which makes people wonder if he will suddenly commit suicide one day, or do something perverted.
But in reality, no one is born with this kind of character! The formation of this kind of character means many failures and countless blank eyes and ridicule, and a person with this kind of character no longer cares what others think of him. The degree of indifference and tenacity in his heart is beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
After putting on his glasses again, Congratulations Nan turned the exercise book to the first page, looked at the words in the title of the book at the top, and did not move for a long time.
- The Dark Mage of Rebirth.
He started to follow the trend of "Rebirth: Dacheng Sword" later than Zhu Haotian, but his imitation is obviously further than Zhu Haotian, Zhu Haotian's imitation of the book is called "Rebirth of Tongtian Treasure Jian", judging from the title of the book, it is either martial arts or Xianxia, and the imitation is more obvious.
But congratulations to Nan for already bringing martial arts stories. Translated into a Western magic story, this can be seen from the words "Black Magician" in the title of his book.
Moreover, he also refined the outline of "The Great Completion of Rebirth", which is just an outline. He's already written most of his exercise books.
……
At noon on October 21, in an office building in Fancheng, during the lunch break, there were only three or two kittens in an office area on the 6th floor. Wang Haiming is one of them, and his seat is at the corner of the window facing the street, which is very clean! This can be regarded as an invisible benefit for him as a veteran employee of the company.
He was mentioned earlier. He is also a fan of "The Sword of Rebirth". Unlike Zhu Haotian, who was released from prison not long ago, and Zhu Nan, who runs a small bookstore on the outskirts of the city, Wang Haiming is 30 years old, has an office white-collar job that many people envy, and has a house, a car, a wife and children.
But at this time, he was also creating a new document on his computer and was working on a novel that he had never thought of writing before.
However, after watching "The Sword of Rebirth", he suddenly found that the original writing was white to that extent, and he could also write wonderful novels, and recently he was waiting for the third episode of "The Sword of Rebirth", but the days of waiting were more tormenting, almost a book shortage.
So, with a thought, he also began to try to write novels, in the spirit of entertaining himself.
It is precisely because he is writing with a self-entertaining mentality, so although the story he wrote is also imitating "The Great Sword of Rebirth", the degree of imitation is even smaller.
Look at the title of the book on his document!
- Who am I born again? 》
Brief introduction:
The monkeys of Huaguo Mountain said, "King! You are our king! ”
The Bull Demon King said, "You are my brother! We've bowed to you! ”
Marshal Tianpeng said: "You are a Bi Ma Wen! Raise horses for the Jade Emperor! ”
The general said, "Senior brother! Don't you remember me? I'm Senior Brother Sha! ”
Tai Bai Xing said: "Forget it, forget it!" It's better to forget! ”
Erlang God said, "Dead monkey! Be your mountain king! Don't bother me! ”
Chang'e said: "Wu Gang is too useless! He hasn't cut down that osmanthus tree for thousands of years, you help me cut down that damn osmanthus tree, and I'll tell you who you really are! ”
……
Obviously, Wang Haiming is writing about the rebirth of Sun Wukong, and after the rebirth, Sun Wukong obviously has amnesia, and everyone else still remembers him.
……
Any popular book will cause a trend of following the trend, and Zhao Yan's "Rebirth: The Great Sword" is no exception, the difference is that most of the people who have been following his work recently are not those writers who are already somewhat famous, but those who are unknown, want to publish their works but are always rejected, and have never even written a novel.
The success of "Rebirth: The Great Sword" has made these people see something called "hope", straightforward writing, but the content of the book is unstoppable, this kind of never-before-seen novel, so that many people who have stories in their hearts, but have no confidence in their own writing, see the hope of writing novels.
It seems that overnight, these people have all enlightened themselves and have inexplicable confidence in whether they can write novels.
It's really that Zhao Yan's writing is too white! How can it not be so encouraging that it can not only be published, but also become popular?
……
Time is on track.
At about 8 o'clock in the evening on October 22, in Zhao Yan's room at Hallym College, Zhao Yan sat in front of the computer and talked to Xiao Mengyue on video, skillfully typing on the keyboard with both hands, and was coding words.
With hundreds of thousands of words written down, his computer typing speed has become much faster. Many words can be typed out instinctively without looking at the keyboard.
Recently, his life has been more fulfilling, well, it can also be described as busy.
From Monday to Friday, he goes to class as usual during the day, after school at noon and in the afternoon, he goes to the company to see, and helps where he needs help, and sometimes has a brief meeting with Wang Qin and Xi Jian at night, and the rest of the time is in a hurry. And tell him the good news. The total number of online and offline sales of the first episode of "The Sword of Rebirth" has suddenly reached 30,000 copies, and the sales of the second episode are about the same.
The editor who urged him that day also encouraged him to write well and write faster, saying that when the book was finished and finished, he would raise the price when he opened a new book.
Zhao Yan didn't ask how much the price would be raised at that time, the reason why he worked so obediently to catch up with the manuscript was not that he hoped that Kyushu Reading would really raise the price of his new book at that time, but that he valued the popularity that the current book brought him. and a rapidly expanding number of book fans.
Zhao Yan believes that as long as his book satisfies readers, then his next book will not raise the price much even if Kyushu Reading. There may also be other publishers who are willing to offer him a higher price.
Of course, more importantly, the more famous he Iwami's pen name is, the greater the attraction of the sword qi to those readers! That's what he cares about the most!
"Zhao Yan!"
Xiao Mengyue on the other end of the video suddenly called him.
"Huh? What the? ”
Zhao Yan was slightly startled. He looked at her blankly. It's not that he is timid, but that he was so immersed in the artistic conception of the storyline just now that he completely forgot that he was still on video with Xiao Mengyue. In a state of forgetting things and me, I suddenly heard her voice, as if someone had suddenly woken me up from a dream.
In the video, Xiao Mengyue looked at him for a moment, and suddenly whispered: "You have lost weight!" If you're too tired, don't get the sword energy! Sell it to someone else, or just forget it! ”
Zhao Yan subconsciously touched his cheek and asked with a smile: "Is it?" Really skinny? ”
Xiao Mengyue nodded a little distressedly, Zhao Yan felt a warm stream in his heart, and he was a little moved, but this sensational atmosphere made him a little uncomfortable, so touching his cheeks, he shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Haha!" That's great! I've wanted to lose weight for a long time, and it seems that I've been successful lately! Don't worry! That's a good thing! Don't you think I'm thinner and more handsome? ”
Xiao Mengyue looked at him speechlessly, and after looking at him for a while, she sighed lightly: "Alas! It's a pity I couldn't go to Hallym Academy with you! If I'm by your side, I can help you a little too a little now...... You do so much by yourself......"
Zhao Yan scratched his head, smirked and said to her, "It's okay!" You don't have to worry about me! I'll do a good job with sword energy! Just wait and see! If you want to compensate me, hehe, next time we see you ......"
Speaking of which, Zhao Yan looked a little embarrassed.
"What am I?" Although Xiao Mengyue guessed in her heart that something bad must be something, she still asked curiously.
Zhao Yan: "Kiss, kiss me!" ”
After speaking, Zhao Yan's courage became bigger, and he boldly looked directly at Xiao Mengyue in the video, Xiao Mengyue's eyelashes trembled, her eyes dodged left and right, she lowered her head slightly, took a sip, and didn't dare to look at him again.
Zhao Yan saw that the manliness in his heart soared, and the more he watched Xiao Mengyue in the video, the more cute he felt, but unfortunately, he could only look at it now, and he couldn't hold a small hand if he wanted to.
Young men and women are always very emotional, Zhao Yan was nothing just now, and at this moment he suddenly wanted to go to Xiao Mengyue's side.
Thinking about it, he spoke up.
"Xiao Mengyue!"
"Huh?" Xiao Mengyue responded, as if she felt Zhao Yan's tone change, and looked at him suspiciously.
Zhao Yan: "When this is over, shall I go to see you?" ”
Xiao Mengyue was stunned, and then the two pear vortices on her cheeks loomed, and she said softly: "You can come if you want, I didn't say I wouldn't let you come!" (To be continued......)
