"So, you don't know the book?"

Mu Chun was lazy like a cat, but he didn't doze off in the sun.

"I didn't think about it for a moment, if it was this book...... Even fewer people know about it, because they can't buy a translated version. ”

"So, the author is still smart and knows how to copy some rare works."

"It's not rare, if you have good English, you can buy the English version to read."

Mu Chun nodded, finally put down his already empty coffee cup, and took out two things from the drawer.

Two books!

"This is Changing Planes, which was published by Rising Star more than 10 years ago, and this is the English version of Changing Planes."

Liuyun opened his mouth wide in disbelief, "You actually have "The Plane of Change"? This book has been out of print for a long time. ”

"What's that? I've got a good book. ”

Mu Chun said, and took out a novel with a black and white cover from the drawer - "Holographic Rose Fragments".

At this moment, Liuyun's mouth opened more and more round.

"Oh my God, oh my God, this book is even harder to buy than 'Plane of Change', people on the forums have been asking who has 'Holographic Rose Shards', cyberpunk has always been niche, but it seems to be becoming popular in recent years. "Neural Wanderer" has been released in several versions, but "Holographic Rose Fragment" has never been released in Chinese. ”

"William Gibson has a great reputation, but not many people have read even 'Neuro Wanderer,' but the sales should be good, and whether to buy it or not to read it is not the same thing."

"Even if you look at William Gibson's work now, it was ahead of its time, let alone in his time."

Mu Chun nodded in agreement, "It's like driving a motorcycle over a rainy city, with sticky and shabby neon streets under your feet."

In mid-air, you pass around a corner and meet a woman who kisses you, her hair is a circuit of flashes, and you touch the corner of her forehead with the palm of your freshly changed mechanical hand.

There was the sound of electricity surging behind him, and the panic of reading dreams. ”

"Enough is enough, I haven't read this Holographic Rose Shard, are you talking about some short story in it?"

"No, of course not, I'm a reader, I'm also a science fiction lover, and I also like prose, I like Dream of Red Mansions."

"Who believes it?"

Although he said so, Liuyun already believed it, just based on Mu Chun's sudden narration and the two out-of-print books in front of him, Liuyun already absolutely believed that Mu Chun was a science fiction reader, a science fiction fan who might be more serious than him.

"Which one did he plagiarize? Is it William Gibson's cyberpunk or Ursula Le Guin's whimsy? ”

"Why don't you see for yourself? Do you want to take a look now? ”

Mu Chun threw out a printed novel, "Look, the first-prize work, almost the whole text is plagiarized." ”

"Mayhem?"

Liuyun reread it three times, and finally he remembered this short story, it was "Chaos", he would not remember because English and Chinese were slightly different in expression, and secondly, compared to the "Plane of Change" treasured by Mu Chun, this author did not even change the name of the novel, and directly plagiarized.

"That's right. Can you tell which one is plagiarized by Le Guin? ”

Liuyun shook his head, he really couldn't tell the difference.

"That's right, I can't tell the difference, the question is how come those judges haven't read this novel?"

Mu Chun smiled incredulously.

Liuyun also had a little embarrassment on his face, wanting to laugh but couldn't.

"After all, it's a short story, and the judges can't have read all of them."

"That's just as well."

Mu Chun also agreed with Liuyun's words.

"So what? That's what you're talking about? ”

"You don't thank me?"

"Thank you?"

"Look, this author must be wrong like this, so I sent a message to the sci-fi boss, informing me that a short story I read is very similar to a short story in the book, and I asked who the big guy plagiarized whom?"

"Isn't that nonsense?"

"The big guy is very serious, he specially compared two novels, and then ......"

"Then, no wonder I saw a group of authors discussing plagiarism this morning, which is a good thing you did?"

"Yes, who let this kind of person not create well, and plagiarize, plagiarism is not counted as brazen nonsense behind the novels created by others with heart, I see unevenness on the road, and there is one thing to say."

"Huh?"

Unexpectedly, Mu Chun suddenly had a trace of chivalrous demeanor on his body, and Liuyun couldn't help but feel that he had come to the wrong place, where is this hospital, it is simply a famous place like Wudang and Shaolin to uphold justice.

"You say it's painful."

It's a bit of a pleasure indeed.

But Liuyun couldn't laugh, originally this person's comment made Liuyun really uncomfortable for a while, and Mu Chun was angry for him by doing this.

For some reason, he just couldn't be happy.

"I don't care, you have to pay for the treatment of this matter, I scolded this author under your novel, and I scolded a whole hundred."

"What?"

"I'll use a hundred numbers to slap him."

"How can you use a hundred numbers, where are there so many numbers?"

"How much you want, you can count it in the treatment fee."

As soon as money was mentioned, Mu Chun changed his lazy sitting posture and said solemnly: "The treatment fee, you can't leave it uncharged." ”

"What is the cure?"

Liuyun originally wanted to say what kind of treatment is this? He didn't ask Mu Chun to do it, so why should he count the money on him.

However, after all, it is a very happy thing.

"I'll just say, something you will be happy to hear it, don't pretend to be deep, just be happy if you want to."

Liuyun finally laughed, not only because Mu Chun was really happy about it, but also because he laughed at him for appearing to be being cheated out of treatment fees by a doctor.

It would be nice to be a man who could be as happy as Dr. Mu, but the author is inevitably afraid of offending readers.

How to say it, I just didn't speak when I saw the comment, it was obviously the other party's malicious comment, and I didn't dare to say anything, it would be nice if it was as simple as Mu Chun said.

Over time, some authors stopped reading the reviews, and even some writers said something like this before, "On the day of the new book's release, I hid at home, I didn't want to go out, I didn't want to go to the bookstore to hear what others said about my book, I was like a timid child, afraid of failing the exam and being criticized by the teacher." ”

This kind of mood is something that Dr. Mu can't understand.

If you fall into the dust, you can't relax completely.

"Happy today, laughing today, I'm going to continue creating tomorrow, right? I'm guessing you're a writer like Stephen King, who works all year round, and if you don't learn to laugh, you're going to be as ugly as him. ”

"Ugly what?" Liuyun decided to say a word, anyway, this Doctor Mu still has to charge his own treatment fee, why not say a few words he wants to say.

Liuyun said loudly: "You are ugly, Stephen King is a great god, is a great god good." ”

Liuyun smiled, and when he paid for the treatment, he still felt happy.
