Chapter 13: Updating the Novel
Lu Li sat on the bed and recalled the events of last night, and smiled bitterly in his heart. He didn't expect that he would be like this when he was drunk, and many of his suppressed feelings were vented through the strength of wine, and he also told Mengqi about his application for the music major. Fortunately, I drank a lot after crying, otherwise I would have to tell the story of my coming from Earth.
This is his biggest secret, and it is a secret that cannot be told to anyone. It seems that you can't drink like this anymore in the future, Lu Li secretly decided.
And Lu Li didn't expect that Mengqi, a little girl, would boldly confess to herself, fortunately, she had already sobered up at that time, otherwise it would be bad to make any bad promises. Lu Li is such a person, he attaches great importance to feelings, and once he makes a promise, he will come true, and he will have the courage to take responsibility for responsibility.
Lu Li sat on the bed for a while, got up when he was comfortable, washed his face with hot water, and felt much more comfortable.
It's past ten o'clock now, and my parents are no longer at home. It's just a short time since the summer vacation, and it's not even mid-July. In Huaqing, the city of furnaces, the summer is very hot. Lu Yanxin naturally had no job because of the last Yahai real estate incident, and now he has found a construction site to work.
In Huaqing, due to the high temperature in summer, this kind of construction industry starts early and late, and it can no longer be constructed at noon. So Lu Yanxin went out before dawn these days, came back at noon to rest for a while, and went out again in the middle of the afternoon when the sun was not so hot.
But Zhang Wenhui works in a small restaurant and gets a very low salary every month.
Lu Li persuaded his parents, especially his father, not to go to the construction site to work, which was dangerous and tiring. But Lu Yanxin just patted Lu Li's shoulder and said: "I'm tired, but I have a lot of money, you are studying in college, and it is the time to use money." It's okay if we're bitter, but we can't be bitter about you. ”
Lu Li's nose was a little sour when he heard it, and he wanted to say something, but he couldn't open his mouth, and finally let his parents go. But Lu Li had already secretly decided in his heart that he must let his parents live a good life.
At the same time, Lu Li also remembered that his parents on the earth also treated him like this, but he was ignorant at that time, and even thought that his parents should do this for themselves. Now that there is no self on the earth, I hope that my parents can have a good life materially.
As for the spirit, Lu Li didn't dare to think about it, he knew that his parents would definitely prefer that he didn't have an accident, work harder, and say that if his son has a hard time, they must be more happy.
It's just that I didn't understand these things before, and I failed my parents' good intentions in vain.
Thinking of this, Lu Xuan was full of energy, opened the old-fashioned computer, and began to code words.
"Many years later, I stood on the shore of a stone of refinement, facing the sea, facing my kingdom, facing my people, facing the undulating noise of the world, facing the snowbirds in the sky, and tears streaming down my face......"
The novel Lu Li chose was Guo Jingming's "Phantom City".
Lu Li still remembers that "Phantom City" was a novel he read when he was in junior high school, and it was also the first novel he read. And Lu Li read this novel because of his relationship with his tablemates. At that time, Lu Li's tablemate was a relatively delicate girl, and her grades in other subjects were not very good, but only her Chinese score was the first in the class.
At that time, Lu Li found that his table mates around him were holding a novel with a simple cover called "Phantom City" no matter whether they were in class or not, and he was obsessed. Forget it, Lu Li knows that his tablemate is a fan of novels, and he is often obsessed with novels like this. But what makes Lu Li unbearable is that this person is not only obsessed, but also often cries while watching.
This can arouse Lu Li's curiosity, and finally borrowed this novel from the same table one day and began to look at it.
This look was out of control, and Lu Li also began to hold this novel every day in and out of class. After reading it in the end, Lu Li couldn't help but admire Guo Jingming, who was a few years older than him. The delicate emotional description, the storyline with a little reasoning, and the gorgeous and poignant pictures are from the hands of a high school student.
In fact, this novel is not suitable for online articles, because his word count is too short, and he can't even reach the number of words on the shelves, and this book is suitable for publishing. Lu Li remembered that this book was published by Chunfeng Literature and Art Publishing House, and it was a bestseller at that time.
The reason why Lu Li chose this book was to use this book to open up his fame. The external threshold of the online literature industry is very low, but the internal threshold is unusually high. It's not that easy for newcomers to get out of the way.
In his previous life, Lu Li read a lot of novels, and it was not that he didn't have the idea of writing his own online articles, but in the end, because of his unsatisfactory grades, he couldn't persevere, so he didn't give up.
Moreover, this book was written by Guo Jingming when he was in high school, and the body that Lu Li is wearing now also happens to graduate from high school, which can be regarded as one of the reasons why Lu Li chose this book.
In fact, there is a novel that is more suitable for Lu Li to open up his fame, that is, "The Legend of Wukong", which was respected by countless people in his previous life. And this world also has the novel "Journey to the West", after all, the previous history and works are the same as on the earth.
But after thinking about it, Lu Li still decided not to use this novel to make himself famous, because Lu Li has great expectations for this novel, and he doesn't want to use this novel alone to make himself famous, but hopes to wait until he becomes famous before publishing this short but shocking "The Legend of Wukong", so that the miracle of the previous life can also become a miracle here.
After the final selection, Lu Li finally decided to choose "Phantom City", which is a wonderful novel. In fact, Lu Li can also directly dump a Jin Daxia book, but the online situation in this world is a little different from that of the earth, so Lu Li didn't do it.
Lu Li doesn't need to write by himself, he just works as a porter, so the speed of codewords is still relatively fast. Although Lu Li didn't specifically practice his typing speed, he still typed about 6,000 words after two hours. Lu Li knew that many great gods on the earth could do such a speed, and it was still in the case of conceiving it.
Lu Li was a little dissatisfied with his hand speed, after all, there were still many classics, and there were several novels with a very large number of words, and Lu Li would not have so many time code words at that time. However, Lu Li has no choice, his speed is not slow, and he can only take his time if he wants to improve.
After saving the typed content on a hard disk, Lu Li opened YY's web text interface. There is no need to re-register in this interface, just log in with the YY number. This is also one of the advantages of this software, the four submenus are separated from each other, but you can log in with one account, and you don't have to register four different accounts.
However, if you want to become an author, you still need to pass an application and fill in some basic information.
When Lu Li filled in the information, when he filled in the pen name column, he began to hesitate again. Originally, he was going to use the pen name Jin Daxia, after all, he was going to bring many classic martial arts novels to this world at that time. When the time comes, the pen name Jin Daxia can be circulated in this world, which can be regarded as a compensation for carrying other people's works.
But then Lu Li thought about it and felt that this was not appropriate, because in addition to Jin Daxia's books, many other authors' books had to be moved, which seemed unfair to other authors. Although no one would know this, Lu Li felt that he couldn't get over it.
Originally, at first, Lu Li was still a little uncomfortable about completely copying other people's things without changing a word, after all, this was someone else's thing. But then Lu Li thought about it, it was simply providence to have such a few more things in his mind, why did he waste such a good resource? So later, Lu Li let go of the mustard in his heart and decided to make good use of these resources and live a strong life in this world.
Lu Li really couldn't think of a good pen name, so the surname Suo didn't think much about it, and directly used his real name as a pen name, which can be regarded as laying a certain foundation for himself to enter the entertainment industry in the future.
Soon, Lu Li filled in the author's application materials, and after getting it, he uploaded the first two sections of "Phantom City" as a chapter of more than 5,000 words and waited for review. Lu Li didn't dare to upload too many surnames at one time, because the number of words in this novel was already small, and it wouldn't take long to upload it if it was uploaded, which was particularly disadvantageous for newcomers. Because once you update it, you can at least stay on the homepage for a while.
"Ah Li, are you up?" As soon as Lu Li uploaded it, Lu Yanxin's voice called Lu Li came from outside the house.
"Dad, I woke up early and came back." At this time, it was almost 12 o'clock, and Lu Yanxin had already returned.
"Well, it's not good for your mother to help in the restaurant, every time it's time to eat, it's very busy, so I can only cook and eat." Lu Yanxin went into the house and washed his face with some cold water, turned on the fan, and sat on the chair to rest.
Lu Li turned off the computer and came out of the room, and saw that Lu Yanxin's face was as red as fire because of the heat, and his face was sweating even if he had just washed the cold water, and he couldn't help but say, "Dad, you can rest today, I'll cook." ”
Lu Li saw Lu Yanxin looking so tired, and immediately walked towards the kitchen.
"Ah Li, do you know how to cook?" Lu Yanxin saw Lu Li walking towards the kitchen, and asked with some disbelief, knowing that they had never let Lu Li cook.
"Don't worry, you'll be surprised." Lu Li replied without looking back. In this world, Lu Li really didn't cook once, but when Lu Li came out to work on Earth, he rented a house by himself, and in order to save money, he also cooked for a period of time.
Although it is not necessarily delicious, I still know how to cook, and today I saw Lu Yanxin working on the construction site and being tired like this, Lu Li also thought that he should reduce the burden on his parents.
