There are those who are alive but are dead......
This sentence may seem to others to be a completely unknown word, but it is very suitable for Liang Shao. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Today, with the high development of material and civilization, the fast-paced life makes Liang Shao, who stays at home all day, unable to find a sense of existence at all.
It's muddy, like a walking corpse, and if it weren't for the occasional call back from his parents, maybe even he wouldn't know if he was still alive.
Such a person, to put it nicely, is an otaku, and if it is not good, it is a waste.
It's not an exaggeration at all, as a person who has the title of "online novel writer", who actually achieves nothing, and writes novels that have no fame at all, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a waste.
Even Liang Shao himself occasionally feels that he may be born a piece of waste wood, the kind that mud can't support the wall.
I'm almost 27 years old, and I've been writing for a few years in a row, but unfortunately it doesn't bring him anything.
At this age, if he were someone else, he would have married and had children a long time ago, and his children were all six or seven years old, and he was just a useless person who had almost no savings.
Every year during the New Year's Festival, it is an indescribable torment for him.
The strange eyes of his relatives, the disappointed eyes of his parents, and the invisible torture made him decadent and unwilling, and occasionally made a vow, which would one day impress these people.
It turns out that the excitement is only temporary, when he re-enters the work, writes the novel, and sees the dismal clicks, the miserable collection in the background, Liang Shao can only smile bitterly.
Perhaps, this line of work is not suitable for you......
Liang Shao sighed, his hands snapped on the keyboard, and when he pressed the enter key, his tense body instantly relaxed, and he sat with his back against the seat like a limp slump.
In front of him was an old-fashioned desktop computer, which looked very old, and on the computer screen, it was the novel "The Dead Man's Amusement Park" written by Liang Shao.
This is his fourth novel in the true sense of the word, and it is also his most laborious novel, in which the plot conception, outline structure, and characters are all written by him over several years and with a lot of painstaking efforts.
Originally, he was full of confidence and thought that with this book, he could soar to the sky and become a big hit, but the facts gave him a heavy blow, and "The Paradise of the Dead" couldn't even sign a contract!
Today is the tenth day of his new book, and the number of words has accumulated to more than 100,000 words, because he is very confident in the new book and hopes that more people will see this book, so his daily update is not less than 10,000 words.
As an old author, he knows very well that he can't change more during the new book, otherwise it will be difficult to cater to readers in the later stage of the book, after all, the early readers have adapted to your daily 10,000-word update, and once you slow down, it will definitely attract unnecessary reminders, or even abuse.
However, now he doesn't need to worry about this, because if he doesn't sign a contract, it means that there is no recommendation, and without the recommendation of the website, there will be no chance for the book to be exposed, and no one will read it, and if no one reads it, there will be no urging and abuse.
Yourself, is it really not good to write?
Liang Shao's face was bitter, and he looked at the readership, in the past few years, almost no newcomers have come in his readership, and some old readers have also left, so to speak, now he has nothing!
Lying in his seat, he felt as if the whole world had abandoned him, and the few clicks a day made him feel hopeless.
He knows very well that no one reads his book at all, and those few clicks may be inadvertently clicked in by others, and there are almost no people who really follow it every day.
The book review area is also unusually bleak, except for advertisements, it is still advertisements.
"It's time to put down ......"
Liang Shao took a deep breath and sighed, his words were full of unwillingness and helplessness, today's update of "The Dead's Amusement Park" is already his last update, starting tomorrow, he will have to go out of the house and find a job, otherwise if he continues like this, even he will not be able to support himself.
Accustomed to self-reliance, he is never willing to use his parents' money, writing books has reached the end, and the experience of several years has become a regret after all.
He had received nothing, nothing but a roll of his eyes and disappointment, and he had never received even the slightest compliment in the past few years.
The monthly remuneration is only for living, and there is no surplus, because of this, he has never even participated in social activities, and has become a complete otaku.
The fact that this novel written with his heart became like this also made him understand that he was not the material for this industry at all.
When he put it all down, his heart suddenly became inexplicably empty, and he found that he seemed to have nothing but writing.
Syllable!
Liang Shao pressed the power of the computer host, got up and looked around, the somewhat dim room was cluttered, smiled bitterly, and began to clean up the house.
Ding dong!
But just as he was about to clean up, the mobile phone in his pocket suddenly rang, which surprised him.
For more than a month, almost no one has been looking for him, and the sound of Ding Dong is very clear, obviously someone is looking for him on QQ, and it will never be wrong.
Who could it be?
Looking out the window, it was close to six o'clock in the afternoon, and it was getting dark.
Rubbing his somewhat hungry stomach, Liang Shao took his mobile phone out of his pocket while taking a bucket of instant noodles from the side, tearing open the package, and preparing for tonight's dinner.
The phone was as old as the computer, the paint on it had fallen off, and in some places it was shiny white, and the little penguin was constantly beating on the bright screen.
Skillfully clicking on the penguin, there are only a few dialog boxes, one of which is constantly flashing.
It's a stranger whose name is "Red Envelope Game Marketer".
Click on the dialog box, and a line of small words appeared: "First of all, congratulations to Mr. for participating in the internal test of the red envelope game held by our company!" ”
Ding dong!
Without waiting for Liang Shao to think carefully, the next message followed: "As the first batch of beta players of this game, our company will prepare a large gift for Mr. Next, in order to show sincerity, I will specially give a red envelope, and receiving a red envelope means that Mr. has officially become a player of this game, and becoming a player must abide by the player rules, please Mr. must understand the content of the rules in detail, do not accept the player rules, then do not receive red envelopes." ”
The next moment the message was sent, Liang Shao's mobile phone trembled, and in the dialog box, a big red envelope suddenly appeared, which was extremely conspicuous.
At the bottom of the big red envelope is a document, about ten kilobytes in size, and the name of the document is "Red Envelope Game Rules".
"Red envelope game? When have I attended? Liang Shao was a little confused, he has been busy updating new books recently, and ******** put all of them into it, as for what red envelope game he has participated in, he really forgot.
"Wait, it seems that two months ago, someone sent a link in my readership, and after I clicked on it, there was indeed a page called Red Envelope Game."
Because someone posted it in the readership, for the group that was a pool of stagnant water on weekdays, someone suddenly bubbled up and posted a link, which can be said to be fresh in Liang Shao's memory.
Well, I did participate......
Liang Shao licked his lips and looked at the conspicuous big red envelope, it was not clear how much money was in it, but this kind of promotion method was not uncommon.
Give you a little sweetness, lure you into the bait, when you play the game, you must want to become stronger in the game, and to become stronger, you have to charge money, so when the time comes, not only the money you receive now for the red envelope, but even your own money will be tempted. Confused out.
This red envelope is just ********** the company's bait, even if you don't charge money alone, but among the people who are hooked by the bait, there is no shortage of local tyrant players, and what is a few red envelopes when the time comes?
However, Liang Shao thinks that his self-control is good, since playing the game, he has rushed into the game with only a handful of money, and it is okay to have occasional entertainment, but with his economic strength, even if he wants to make great efforts to krypton gold, the conditions are not allowed.
In this case, this red envelope is not received for nothing, and these game companies are rich and rich, and they are only red envelopes, but they are just a drop in the bucket, and they are not painful.
It's a bastard to have a cheap and don't take advantage of it.
As for the player rules under the red envelope, they were automatically ignored by Liang Shao.
What are the player rules? What is that thing? Sorry, I never look.
I clicked on the red envelope casually, and as expected, sure enough, there was only five yuan in the red envelope.
Well, I still underestimated the stinginess of these "deep-pocketed" game companies......
Liang Shao silently complained in his heart.
Fortunately, five yuan is also money, and mosquitoes are also meat when they are small.
But when he looked down, he immediately became a little angry, it turned out that the five yuan could not be used yet, because the five yuan was the money for playing the game, that is, the money in the game, and could not be withdrawn for use in reality.
"I can't bear five dollars, it's really enough!"
Liang Shao shook his head, slightly disdainful of the stinginess of this game company, and the money in the game was actually distributed by giving out red envelopes, which means that this red envelope is completely useless to him, unless he goes to play that red envelope game.
"Forget it, pies won't fall from the sky, let's wash and sleep."
Thinking like this, Liang Shao's depressed mood calmed down somewhat, and at the same time, the fragrance of instant noodles gradually spread throughout the room, making his already hungry stomach suddenly croak.
But at this moment, suddenly, there were several knocks on the door.
"Is anyone there? Express delivery! A voice came from outside the door, which immediately made Liang Shao frown, he remembered that he hadn't bought anything online at all, how could there be a courier?
Anyway, he walked to the door and opened it, and outside the door was a courier dressed in clothes with the word courier on it, carrying a small box in his hand.
"Your name is Liang Shao? This is your courier, please sign for it. The courier handed the small box to Liang Shao, and at the same time handed over a pen, pointed to the courier on the box, and said.
"That, this, I don't seem to have ......" I hadn't communicated with anyone for a long time, and suddenly speaking, Liang Shao felt a little unspeakable.
"Sign quickly, I still have a lot of couriers to deliver!" The courier said impatiently.
"Okay......" In desperation, Liang Shao took the box and pen and signed his name.
When the door was closed, Liang Shao was even more puzzled, and his eyes were on the small box, which was an ordinary box, ten centimeters high and twenty centimeters long, the only difference was that on the side of the small box, the words "Red Envelope Gamer Gift Package" were printed.
"This red envelope game again?"
After experiencing the previous things, Liang Shao no longer has any expectations for this game company, and with the company's stinginess, most of the things in this box are not good.
With half a point of anticipation, and more casualness, Liang Shao gradually tore open the package, slowly opened the box, and the first thing that caught his eye made his eyes shrink, revealing an incredible look.
