Today, let's remember the former title of this book.

The original title of the book was "Nerds vs. Zombies". Many readers do not understand why the author came up with such a strange title. Eight months ago, when it came time to plan the publication of this book, the author's original thinking was this:

Let's start with nerds. The protagonist of this book, Yao Yayao, is a nerd who has just entered college and comes from the bottom of society. He doesn't know anything but reading. The story to be invented in this book is to depict a bizarre experience in college. So, the title of the book brings this nerd factor.

Let's talk about zombies. The game system in the book is more or less designed with reference to the architecture system of "Plants vs. Zombies". Therefore, the title of the book was simply decided in the first place.

Many readers find the title to be very lo-lo, devoid of aesthetics and architectural harmony. However, it is actually a rather high-profile title with deep philosophical implications.

Specific further explanations, in chapter 260 of this book, with the help of the male protagonist's words, have already appeared. It might as well be mentioned here again.

A. Zombie is also another name for The Walking Dead. He lived, but never had a mind of his own. A famous quote by Lu Xun fully illustrates this point: some people are alive, but they are already dead.

b. Personally, I have never felt that our country is the most populous country on the planet. On the contrary, it may be a very sparsely populated country. Because, this country is full of mercenary walking corpses who live for money all their lives, and have no other beliefs. Their eyes were blood-red, and they could only see the big red bills.

c. The game in the book, once the college students leave the school gate, there is an endless army of zombies outside. This is, of course, also a philosophical metaphor. In fact, when many college students graduate and leave school, the vast majority of them will quickly be assimilated into red-eyed zombies outside. The school is an ivory tower that they can preserve, the last vestiges of innocence and humanity, a protective shield. Once they leave school, the pressure of social survival will be ruthlessly swallowed up by their once good life fantasies.

With the above explanation of the old title, the reader should now be able to understand the core idea of the book. This book is a book dedicated to the theme of "faith", not a bizarre plot designed in the book to counterattack the second generation of rich officials, so that readers can daydream. There are already a lot of dream-style superhuman dragon Aotian fairy tale books on the Internet, and this one is not bad for me, so I'm not interested in writing that at all.

Due to the fact that there are not many readers along the way, one day, a book friend suggested that the word "zombie" is easy for readers to misunderstand that this is a book about supernatural spirits, so it is recommended to change the title of the book. I was impulsive, so I accepted his advice and renamed the book "Magical High School".

In fact, I now regret changing the title of this book, and with such a change, the high philosophical godhead of the original old title will be annihilated. I should stick to my original intention of writing the book, and there is no need to change the title of the old book. In fact, even if the new title was changed, it did not bring any increase in popularity to the book.

The purpose of writing this book was originally to promote a spirit of "faith" and warn some readers who are destined to do so: the red-eyed zombie forces have occupied our ideological territory, and if there is a chance, the few remaining survivors should consciously declare war on them.

In one sentence: Roll up your sleeves, copy the guys, and then fight the red-eyed zombies!

The ideals are all beautiful, and the reality is skinny.

Legend has it that the person who can deal with a large number of zombies on her own and then create miracles is called Alice. She has the idol charm to command the world and respond to every call, and she can arrogantly declare war on the zombie army.

The author is not Alice after all, so it is conceivable that the final popularity data of this book is bleak.

After writing more than 700,000 words today, the trace of blood in the author's heart has long been cooled and frozen. As the saying goes: no matter who is missing from this earth, it will rotate 24 hours a day.

The author is not a dead person, in fact, sometimes I also think: Now in the outside world, red-eyed zombies are domineering everywhere, so what does it matter to me?!

In the case of the drudgery of writing a book, the usual cost of 10,000 words is 10 hours. I have written 700,000 words and it has taken me 700 hours. So much time, enough time for me to watch a lot of favorite American dramas, and I can also refine my spoken English or something.

Why let yourself be wronged?! Why bother?!

Jizo Bodhisattva Cloud: "If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell?!" ”

That's a good thing to say. However, I am not a Jizo Bodhisattva, so I am determined not to go to hell. So, today I plan to rewatch the American drama "Game of Thrones" and not update it. Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow may not be updated, everything depends on personal mood.

This book has entered the legendary wayward mode of "rowing without oars, all by the waves", and is no longer limited by any rules and regulations! Hey, hey, hey!
