Chen Yuanlong, a second-year high school student in Xinyuan City, South China Province, like most of his peers, reads novels in his free time.

It's eleven o'clock in the evening, and after the sound of his parents urging him to rest came again, he didn't want to sleep yet, so he decisively coped with a few sounds, turned off the lights and secretly continued to look for the works he was interested in on the computer.

Although the personal terminal integrates many functions such as smartphones and laptops in the old era, without the authorization of his parents, Chen Yuanlong has no way to do something unrelated to learning.

In addition, the computer screen is much clearer than most ordinary models, so the inconvenient personal computer is still the best choice for people to play games and watch videos in this era.

Chen Yuanlong's father, a senior business consulting clerk under a special company that specializes in providing all kinds of services to the big people in the "noble area", seems to have helped a "nobleman" (the private name given to citizens by commoners, not used in public) to make a big business today, and got some extra rewards, so he happily drank a little wine with his mother and forgot to lock the computer regularly.

Of course, Chen Yuanlong couldn't take the initiative to remind them, but took advantage of this rare opportunity to secretly read the novel.

Although he is only 16 years old this year, Chen Yuanlong has definitely been a senior reader since he came into contact with all kinds of novels published on the Internet at the age of 11.

"Alas, the more books I read, the harder it is to find something I particularly like."

After updating and reading a few novels from famous artists he liked on the bookshelf, Chen Yuanlong found that he couldn't find any works that he could read as before.

He once wrote a novel by himself to entertain himself, of course, at that time, there was no lack of fantasy dreams in his heart in case he was sought after, but the reality made him realize what cruelty is, and after seeing the misery of hitting the street, he wisely returned to his old job as a reader, and with this experience, he was more convinced of the writers who wrote high-level novels.

Chen Yuanlong, who was unwilling to go to sleep like this, was helpless, and began to look up in the new books that he had never disdained before, and the six years of experience had already made him understand that in most cases, this kind of behavior would only be useless to pass the time, but he had nothing to do now.

I don't know how long later, just when he felt a trace of sleepiness and was about to bow his head to reality and go back to sleep obediently, a novel broke into his field of vision.

"Huh? "The Legend of the Army God of the Three Kingdoms"? ”

"When the troubled times rise again, who can dominate the ups and downs? Let's look at the legendary road of Zhuge Liang, a generation of military gods. ”

After reading this short introduction, as a qualified old bookworm, Chen Yuanlong realized what the book was about to be about.

"Well, let's just waste some time and look at it, it won't take a lot of time anyway."

Thinking of the book "The Emperor of the Three Kingdoms" by Master Yu Wen that he just finished reading a few days ago, Chen Yuanlong mentioned a little spirit, the wonderful "local" series of spells in it, the grand war scenes, and the powerful and shocking generals of 10,000 enemies, he still feels a little excited when he thinks about it.

"Huh? Isn't it the kind of imitation of the following novel? It looks like it's a bit of a retro realist writing.,It's probably a garbage novel again.,It's really unlucky.,But,Now that it's open.,Let's take a look first.。 ”

Based on Chen Yuanlong's experience, as far as the earliest reality flow is concerned, the novels of the Great Era of the Three Kingdoms, if they are not written by famous artists, or purely imitated by the settings of famous artists, then the ** of the Ten is absolutely uneyed, maybe he is in the age when his curiosity is the strongest, so he clicked in with a casual attitude - a total of only 70,000 words, and you can read it in ten minutes, isn't it?

"Huh? This is a bit eye-catching at the beginning. ”

"The writing is a little worse, it's not as good as me."

"There are so many characters in the scene, why are there so many people I haven't heard, it's not made up, right?"

"The protagonist is a little kid when he appears? What's the point? ”

In the process of reading with a critical attitude, two sentences of complaints popped out of his mouth from time to time.

But he didn't notice it himself, and unconsciously, the indifference on his face slowly turned into concentration, and the words in his mouth changed from criticism to involuntary admiration, and finally he was completely silent, and his eyes widened and he looked carefully.

Of the 70,000 words that he usually reads in 20 minutes at most, it took him a full hour to read them.

"Something is wrong, why do I have a strange feeling that I can't explain clearly after reading it? Why, exactly? Look at it again and try it! ”

Chen Yuanlong, who didn't pay attention to the passage of time at all, read it again from the beginning.

This time, he quickly fell completely into the world of the book, which was exactly the same as the table of Master Liu Ziming's masterpiece "Ascending the Peak" that he first came into contact with online literature six years ago.

After the magnificent start in the novel, here are the bits and pieces of Xiao Zhuge growing:

When Zhuge Liang was a child, he was naughty and mischievous, and he hated learning no different from most people, which made Chen Yuanlong smile at all, and did not feel anything wrong at all, but had a strong sense of substitution for the protagonist, as if he was the protagonist in the book, although the news of war and turmoil came from time to time from the outside world, but in the relatively calm environment of Xuzhou, those bad news seemed to be like now, far away from them, and Xiao Zhuge Liang enjoyed his childhood in a carefree environment.

In the blink of an eye, it was a few years, Zhuge Liang was twelve years old, Cao Cao finally pointed the spearhead of the war at Xuzhou, which had been quiet for decades, in order to avenge his father, the bloody war, the revenge of the slaughter of the city, and the inability to resist could only become a refugee who went with the flow.

He clearly established the direction of his life, and "ending this hateful troubled world" became his goal.

The smart brain is no longer used to trick friends or deceive adults, and the sensible little Zhuge first used it to help the clansmen get rid of the rebellious soldiers, and successfully left Xuzhou, which was destined to fall into the land of four wars, and placed them behind the relatively stable Jingzhou.

In order to master more knowledge, Zhuge Liang relied on his status as a scholar and successfully entered the first college at that time, Yingchuan Academy, through the entrance examination.

……

Different from the first relatively discerning browsing, this time Chen Yuanlong was completely respectful and carefully appreciated.

He feels as if he is incarnated as Zhuge Liang in the book, facing the ruthless test of the unknown future in another world: the protagonist encounters a problem, he is entangled, encounters setbacks and difficulties, he is angry and worried, the protagonist uses wisdom to dominate the academy, he is excited, and at the end of the reading, Zhuge Liang was invited out of the mountain by Liu Bei Sangu Thatched House, he was proud and expectant.

Chen Yuanlong, who forgot jì a qiē, directly prompted "Please look forward to the follow-up update of the work", and then slowly returned to the real world.

"It's incredible!"

Chen Yuanlong, who reacted, took a closer look and found that the book had just been released for three days, and he had not signed a contract with Baijia Library.

"No, it's rare to encounter such a masterpiece, I have to do something, let the website pay attention to it, and sign the contract as soon as possible, otherwise if the author is discouraged and doesn't write, won't it be to be depressed to death?"

After the excitement of discovering a good book cooled down, Chen Yuanlong was a little worried, he had a similar experience, although those works that were cut off were far from the level of "The Legend of the Three Kingdoms", but they were enough to pass the free time.

"Or ......"

Chen Yuanlong, who thought of an idea, just wanted to act, but he was a little entangled.

"Damn, why do you want to do so much, it's not the same before I didn't have enough pocket money, it's hard to find good books when they're gone, I must let Mr. Author see my mind."

Thinking of this, Chen Yuanlong decisively no longer suppressed his impulses, and lightly rewarded all the 1,000 credit points he had obtained from his parents for his birthday last month's birthday.

"Hehe, tomorrow I will brag to the chubby and let them laugh at me for not picking a dime, that is not to meet such a good book, a group of novices who don't know what a good book is and have no appreciation level."

"Ahh It's almost four o'clock, oh my God, I still have class today, it's miserable, I originally wanted to write a book review, it seems that I can only talk about it when I come back from school. ”

Chen Yuanlong, who only noticed the time after doing a qiē, screamed, but he was not depressed for long, with the joy of finding a boutique book by himself after his own efforts, he turned off the computer in a comfortable mood, and soon went to bed and fell asleep.

……

Hundred Books.

Wang Quan, who happened to be on the night shift today in the preliminary review editing team, always had some memory about the novel that passed the review three days ago, and took advantage of the night shift when he had nothing to do, so he clicked on the page at random, wanting to see the follow-up story to pass the time.

"This? There is an alliance leader without signing a contract? ”

Wang Quan, who was very surprised, didn't bother too much, and after checking the past consumption records of this book friend named "Yunlong Out of the Abyss", although he frowned a little, he still started reading with some curiosity.

"Hey, it seems that although this 'Mu Yi' seems to have used some small hand breaks, his own ability is still okay, and this novel seems to have some value."

Unlike pure readers, Wang Quan looks at the novel from another point of view, so the most important thing for Yang Lin's novel is the foundation, and the writing is not good enough to let him not be disturbed by other factors if he firmly confirms some "conclusions" in the process of university study, even if Yang Lin's novel has a strong story, it is still impossible for him to classify it as an excellent work.

"Well, since it's a bit level, let's mention it to Editor-in-Chief Wu later, let him be in charge, so as not to be responsible......"

Four hours later......

"Editor-in-Chief Wu, this is the case, if you sign a contract, I can be sure that this novel will bring a certain profit to the company."

Editor-in-Chief Wu nodded indifferently, then shook his head and responded to Wang Quan:

"Okay, I know what you said, this author obviously spends his own money to get our attention, there are many people in this world who have a little ability, but the use of wrong tricks will eventually achieve limited results, I look down on this person's character."

"You are a senior editor, you should know that what our industry needs most is people who follow the rules steadfastly, and they are the main force that creates value. As for this novel, since it has some value, we can also give him a chance, you can pay attention to it a little, and if the later writing is still readable, give him a low-level newcomer to sign a contract, and then warn him to put his mind right, don't always want to take any shortcuts......"

"Okay, I see."

The two did not consider whether Yang Lin would accept their signing at all.

Indeed, in their opinion, no newcomer can resist the "gift" of officially signing a portal-level literary website, giving a little benefit, unless he is a fool, otherwise he is not afraid of the other party sticking up to accept the solicitation?
