The newspaper advertised for an essay!

To say that the level of civilization in this world is actually not low, although it is not as good as the modern information explosion, it is also in a state of explosion, those fairy tales that scare children and the heroic epics sung by wandering poets can not meet people's needs, especially in the field of aristocracy, those who have read the works of a well-known novelist or poet can become the capital to show off, representing the difference between their education and the ignorant masses.

Poetry Harvey doesn't understand, fiction is his field!

When he was still on Earth, he was a lover of online novels, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he has read more novels than the number of words in a library in the world, and he has also studied the field of online novels and intends to write a work of his own, of course, the results are not very ideal. His novels do not have the slightest advantage in the modern era of the information explosion, but in a world that is still in the midst of the replacement of civilization and barbarism, there are not so many demanding requirements.

The world's literary field is in a period of explosive development, ordinary people have also begun to come into contact with literary works because of the popularization of books, and the society's thirst for culture is like a bottomless sinkhole.

Online novels do not have an advantage in front of traditional literature, coupled with the cultural differences between the two worlds, the experience of online novel creation does not help Harvey at all, Harvey's huge advantage in the field of fiction is to broaden his horizons, and secondly, even if he can't refer to the experience of online novel creation, Western classical literary works can also give him inspiration.

The three Brontë sisters' works "Jane Eyre" and "Wuthering Heights", one of the world's most famous popular novels, "The Count of Monte Cristo", the long science novel "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea", and even the Grimm fairy tale series full of fairy tales.

Haven't you ever eaten pork haven't seen a pig run, Harvey has indeed never set foot in the field of traditional literature, but these works are not only presented in the form of words, but also more specific and attractive cinematic expressions, Harvey was very fond of Victorian English period dramas before he crossed over, and the slightly famous British period dramas are basically adaptations of famous classical novels.

"If you are selected in this essay advertisement, you will receive the [Leonard Prize] awarded by Leonard Publishing House for the most talented work, including a medal of pure gold and 5,000 baluns! The award period is one month, and it is judged by the publisher and all the readers who watch the collection, and it seems that it is tailor-made to solve their current situation! Harvey is eyeing the prize money for the essay advertisement, it is difficult for him to scrape together 30 Barron gold coins in a month, and the essay contest held by Leonard Publishing House is a good choice, after being selected, the prize money is enough to pay off his debts in one lump sum, on the other hand, he also enjoys the royalties of the novel, and the novel's selection will definitely increase greatly, and the royalties can make him worry about food and clothing for several years.

The question is, does he have what it takes to pick this tempting fruit in front of him?

Harvey's eyes fell on the deadline for the essay displayed at the bottom of the advertisement, and he immediately frowned: "The essay advertisement has been published for a while, and the deadline is within this week, which means that there are still five days, and we must prepare as soon as possible." ”

When he made up his mind, another mysterious message appeared in his mind, without any text explanation, but it allowed Harvey to understand the meaning of the conveyance, the mysterious attribute panel in his head did not give him abilities for nothing, it was more like a task system, only Harvey paid the price to complete something will be rewarded, and the quality of the reward is comparable to the impact he caused.

If he becomes a world-famous novelist, the mystical system in his head can even make him one of the world's top spellcasters at once!

Harvey was even more excited, this was a great thing for him, he was very interested in magic, but the threshold and mystery of magic made him unable to get started, and now he couldn't get into this field, if he could get the reward of the mysterious system in his head, it would be much easier to use it as a springboard to become an official spellcaster than to become a spellcaster by conventional means.

······

Time was pressing, Harvey didn't dare to delay for a moment, and told Shirley to prepare a sandwich bento for him and put on his coat and leave the mansion, the place where he lived belonged to a prosperous area, the roads were wide and smooth, the streets were neat and paved with floor tiles, and the people who came and went were basically well-dressed gentlemen and ladies, and being able to live in this kind of place was a status symbol in itself.

Stop a carriage and tell the driver to go to the library, which is not far from the street.

After getting off the car, he paid the driver 2 barron pounds, in front of him was a Victorian style composite building, Victorian style is a very general statement, in fact, it contains no less than ten architectural styles, each of which has distinctive characteristics, this building combines multiple styles to interpret what is the beauty of Western-style classical architecture, and the grade is obviously much higher than the surrounding buildings.

Harvey pushed the door in, and just as he came to the counter, a well-dressed woman respectfully asked, "Sir, is there anything I can do to help you?" ”

Harvey was a little surprised that he knew that there weren't so many jobs available to women in the world.

The Elroy Library, which is also the name of the city, is a spacious and bright two-story library with shelves filled with books, making one wonder if overturning one of the columns would cause a domino effect. In addition to the bookshelves, there are tables and chairs for borrowers to read, and there are carefully cared for flower pots in the corners, making the environment as quiet and comfortable as that of a modern library on earth.

The Elroy Library is donated by the Elroy family, and most of the books are from the Elroy family's collection or common books bought from various places, and are generally only available to people with status and students from some schools in the city.

Harvey was glad that he still had a noble status, took off his hat and put it on his chest and said softly: "Yes, ma'am, I want to apply for a borrowing certificate here, what procedures do I need?" ”

"Okay, please leave your identification here."

After filling out the form and paying a gold balun, and after the library staff confirmed his identity, Harvey was given a certificate of borrowing from the library, a small document with instructions and borrowing records.

Time does not allow him to hesitate, when he came here by carriage, Harvey thought about which novel to write, the works of the three Brontë sisters were not suitable for him, "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" is quite different from the cultural style of this world, there is a certain risk, after thinking about it, Harvey decided to write a popular novel in this world is still in its infancy - "The Count of Monte Cristo".

There are considerable cultural differences between the two worlds, for example, the protagonist in "The Count of Monte Cristo" was framed because of Napoleon's letters, and Napoleon does not exist in this world, so he needs to find an existence with a similar status in the history of this world. It's not that he's nitpicking, it's that the world culture is not very developed, and if there is no actual history as a background for writing, the appeal and value of the novel will be much lower.

And he also needs to weigh the problem of "translation" of novels, he is not speaking English or Chinese, it is a language that he has not been exposed to at all, and the translation work is not done well, and no matter how good the novel is, it is a pearl and dust.

Harvey stood in front of the huge bookshelf and sighed with mixed thoughts, there were five days left before the deadline for the essay, and he was left with little time to consult the materials after removing the creative needs.
