Chapter 3 Three Words and Two Beats: A Warning to the World
I can't stop writing this at all.
Forget hunger, thirst, tiredness, only full of passion and motivation.
By the time I put pen to paper, it was already dark.
The style of the whole text belongs to the category of vernacular literature, and in terms of the current background, classical Chinese is the absolute mainstream, and vernacular Chinese can only be regarded as non-mainstream.
But, the common people like it.
After all, most of them are uneducated, and they may not be able to understand classical Chinese.
"That's it!"
Gu Ming put down the pen, stretched his waist, and moved his tired wrists and knuckles.
The word count is lazy, but it's certainly more than five thousand.
At the same time, punctuation is customary.
Speaking of which, in the previous life, many people thought that ancient texts did not have punctuation, but it was actually a misunderstanding.
In ancient times, official writing actually had punctuation, but there was no unified standard, and most of them were broken by dots, circles, and horizontals.
There are a lot of messy books in the folk that are full of words, and it is particularly difficult to break sentences, and it is easy to make mistakes, misreads, and misunderstandings.
After a little movement, Gu Ming called out the system interface to submit the task.
[Mission Accomplished]
Gain 100 XP
Obtain a wolf (special item)
Won the short story collection "Three Words and Two Beats: Warning to the World"
As the information emerged, a small tube of brush appeared out of thin air on the table.
The collection of novels appeared in my mind, and the style was no different from the physical ancient books.
"Three words and two beats?"
Gu Ming was stunned for a moment, and then his face was happy.
To say that these three words and two beats can be called the pinnacle of classical short vernacular novels in the previous life, a monument in the history of literature, and has influenced generation after generation.
Although the reward is only one of the episodes, it is enough to surprise Gu Ming.
The Du Shi Niang he wrote is from the famous article in "Warning to the World": Du Shi Niang sinks a hundred treasure chests angrily.
sighed for a moment, Gu Ming's eyes subconsciously glanced at the wolf......
This thing really doesn't need to be dipped in ink?
In the spirit of rigorous verification, Gu Ming immediately grabbed the brush and began to write.
Writing a few crosses in a row, it's really a bull ...... The words are full and done in one go.
No wonder others often say that the system is the biggest bug in the world, and there is no one.
Next, it's the finale's turn:
Gu Ming's mind moved, and he clicked the "+" sign at the character level:
[Congratulations, you've leveled up]
Host: Gu Ming
Plane: Chat the world
Level: Reading Companion (Next Level: Senior Student)
Experience Points: 0/300
Credits: 0
Skills: Calligraphy (Level 1), Painting (Level 1)
Special Item: Wolf Hair
As the system information emerged, a mysterious energy poured into his body, making Gu Ming's whole body hot and dizzy, as if he had poured two catties of liquor, and it seemed like he had a fever......
In short, the whole person is floating.
Fortunately, this state did not last long, and it only took about a minute or so to wake up.
However, Gu Ming did not move.
Because he felt like his whole person had changed.
It's become a little unreal, my mind is clearer, and my ears and eyes are much smarter than before.
Importantly, you can also feel a faint flow of air flowing slowly through your body, which makes you feel full of strength.
So, Gu Ming's gaze subconsciously fell on a large dilapidated wooden box.
This is a box containing miscellaneous items, estimated to weigh more than 100 catties.
"That's you!"
Gu Ming got up abruptly......
It turned out to be a big shock: because he almost hit the roof.
Although the roof is pitifully low, it can almost be touched by a handful of hands. The question is, he just got up, how could he jump so high all at once?
Go back and study this again, and try your strength first.
So, Gu Ming walked to the wooden box, slowly bent down, and hugged the wooden box tightly with both hands.
"Up!"
The wooden box lifted off the ground with ease, and was lifted over his head.
I'll go...... Is this still the poor sour talent who was called powerless before?
It's clearly a strong man!
If it weren't for the difficulty of grasping the center of gravity, Gu Ming really wanted to try if he could lift the box with one hand.
At that time, you will be able to go out and brag about Xiaosheng and say that Xiaosheng can open a Lamborghini with one hand.
"Grandma, a bear, smash my stall, right?"
"See me beat me once, right?"
At this moment, Gu Ming inevitably remembered what happened during the day, and couldn't help but grit his teeth and vent a few words.
At the same time, I can't help but despise the system: if you say that you can enter the Tao with literature, the result is not to be both civil and military.
"Goo~"
Suddenly, there was a series of strange noises in the stomach.
Gu Ming was shocked...... I'm so hungry.
After rummaging around the house for a while, I finally found two hard dough cakes.
Scooped a bowl of cold water, a mouthful of bread, two mouthfuls of water, and barely ate half full.
It was already the middle of the night, but Gu Ming didn't feel sleepy, and couldn't help but click on the task interface again:

"Sure enough, the ...... of the system goblins"
After reading the content of the task, Gu Ming was secretly glad that he had not written a perfunctory article before.
Otherwise, the fun will be great.
However, according to the content required by the task, it is not so easy to sell 50 novels in half a month.
For ordinary people in the current world, books can be called high-end consumer goods and even luxury goods.
In particular, many scholars could not afford to buy books related to the imperial examination, so they could only borrow them from others, copy them by hand, or even steal them.
Of course, they will not admit it, and generally say: "Stealing a book cannot be regarded as stealing, but can the business of a reader be regarded as stealing?" ”
Still, there are relatively cheap books on the stalls.
The quality is not flattering, most of them are shoddy, typos, and the chapters are wrong and missing.
There are not many people who buy books from such stalls, and the common people don't have the spare money, and most of them are illiterate.
Those who are literate and have spare money are mostly blind.
"Leave it alone, take the task first......"
In line with the mentality of taking one step at a time, Gu Ming's mind moved, and he took the task first and then said the following.
As soon as he finished taking over the task, there was an extra stack of thread-bound books on the shabby small table.
It is the short story "Du Shi Niang" that Gu Ming "created" before.
"It's amazing!"
Although he already knew the magic of the system, Gu Ming still couldn't help but exclaim.
Then he reached out and took a copy and flipped through it......
Not a word is broken, even the punctuation is not omitted, and the neat fly-headed small block is a few points more durable than the words he wrote himself.
Looking through a few more books, they are similar and quite good-looking.
The only fly in the ointment is that it is a little too thin, after all, it is only a few thousand words, and there are only twelve pages in total with the cover.
"One hundred texts and one ......"
The task was accepted, but Gu Ming was a little unconfident.
After all, this is not a serious book, just a thin booklet.
According to the calculation of two yuan for a meat bun at that time, one hundred wen could buy fifty meat buns.
That's really not cheap......
