Chapter 197: First to Last and Second to Last!

Tonight, for many of the participating writers, it was destined to be a sleepless night.

Because there are still three days left, the top 10 list will be announced.

Every writer who wants to win but doesn't come from those big websites is under a lot of pressure.

With no resources and no Bole, they just walked to the top 15 step by step through a pair of diligent code-word hands.

Fairness sometimes favors those who work hard, but most of the time, it still forgets those who work hard.

Tsing Yi is such a writer, he relies on a pair of diligent code words to get to the game now, he is a writer for a small website.

Now his team has fallen to the penultimate ranking because of the reward system, red envelope square, and monthly pass system.

Basically, the other writers of this site except for him have started to give up on codewords.

After all, it's easier to give up than to hold on.

"If only I had this, I'm Fanfan's talent. Tsing Yi looked at his phone and said with a little guilt.

Yang Fan is his idol. Not only because of the excellent results of his book, but also because of the ideas conveyed by his book, Tsing Yi likes it very much.

This time, their website is drawing a short story genre novel theme, although to be honest, the short story is not popular in the entire online literature industry, but it has an inclusiveness that surpasses any genre.

This kind of theme is a sign in this game, and it is also an important condition for the website behind Tsing Yi to enter the top 15.

However, although the lottery is signed, the small website is always a small website, and the other five participating writers except Tsing Yi are not very satisfactory.

"It looks like we're going to say goodbye to this competition in two days. After reading today's update of Yang Fan's book, Tsing Yi took a look at the results of his website, then silently closed his mobile phone, and muttered while lying on the bed.

On the twenty-third day of the game, Yang Fan came back.

Today, he was full of energy, from the beginning of the game at half past nine in the morning to half past nine in the evening, he coded thirteen chapters.

And it's still a pretty quality thirteen chapters.

Almost all the readers who originally complained about him for only updating a few thousand words yesterday saw this update with thirteen chapters, and the resentment in their hearts was basically wiped out.

Not only that, but when they savored the updated content of the thirteen chapters, an indescribable impulse appeared in their hearts, and that impulse was mixed with emotion and enthusiasm, which made them can't help but hand over all their recommendation votes to Yang Fan.

This impulse, which is mixed with emotion and blood, also makes many picky trolls unable to find any excuse to attack.

All this is because Yang Fan added a very likable supporting role in his novel.

That is, the newly opened female owner of the flower shop, which made this old street, which was originally very twilight, rejuvenated, and made the old street more down-to-earth, and laid the groundwork for becoming a prosperous commercial street in the future.

At the same time, Yang Fan also painstakingly portrayed this new character, portraying her as a beautiful, elegant, and mature woman. And it also added a small accent disadvantage to her.

This shortcoming makes this mature and beautiful character a little cute.

Sometimes, characters with a bit of flaws are more likable than characters that are almost perfect.

In this way, the appearance of this character, as well as the confusion of the love line, made almost all readers who liked the book start a heated debate in the book review area.

However, just a supporting role with a clear image cannot make readers moved and enthusiastic. Yang Fan also added the role of a takeaway promotion and delivery brother to the book.

The dispute between the shopkeeper and his young son over takeout delivery erupted into one of the few conflicts in the book.

In Yang Fan's writing, Yang Fan depicts the conflict between an old man's dedication to craftsmanship and a young man's desire to cut corners in the Internet fast food culture (Note 1).

This wonderful description makes many readers think of an old man who only does one thing in his life.

What this ordinary old man insists on is the state of life that many young people today dream of but do not yearn for.

Sometimes, bland feelings, bland chapters are like a pot of tap water that is about to boil, and when it boils, although it is still ordinary, there is a sense of impact that is healthier and more thirst-quenching than other types of drinks!

This makes many readers can't help but find all the chapters of the whole book about the noodle shop owner, and read it repeatedly, they want to find something in this materialistic rush from this ordinary old man.

I don't know if tonight will find what they're looking for for those readers.

I only know that Yang Fan's book returned to the third place on the personal list on the twenty-third day because of the number of updates and the number of recommended votes!

Tsing Yi, as a participating writer, he has always voted for his recommendation.

Because, his collection and recommendation votes are too few compared to those big website writers.

However, today he unexpectedly voted for all his recommendations for Yang Fan's book.

Maybe it's because he found what he was looking for.

On the twenty-fourth day of the competition, Yang Fan still updated the thirteen chapters, and tried to keep adding people around him.

For example, the auto repair shop where glasses work, such as the bookstore owner's bookstore, and Meng Zixuan's clothing store.

His book is like a game of idle business simulation, constantly adding new shops to the old streets, and using the dog called Daifuku to see the joys, sorrows and sorrows of ordinary people.

Yang Fan wrote very happily, and his readers were happy to read it. Because that old street has become their old street yesterday.

That kind of warm feeling reminds older people of their childhood, and also allows young readers to find a harbor where they can put their own more and more impetuous hearts.

This kind of warmth made those readers who read this book frantically talk about their childhood in the book review area, and they also begged Yang Fan to add some stores that disappeared from their memories in the book review area.

Yang Fan patiently read each of today's book reviews, and recorded the thoughts of those readers about the store.

On the big white paper on his desk, there were densely written shops that wanted to be added.

After the record, Yang Fan spent another two hours picking three stores on that piece of paper.

Because, the shops in Lao Cai are almost full.

When Yang Fan was done, it was already four o'clock in the morning, he hurriedly set the alarm clock and lay on the bed, closed his eyes and waited for the game at half past nine in the morning.

"It seems that today is really my last day of competition. "At four o'clock in the morning, there was also a writer who did not rest.

That writer is Tsing Yi, at this time he saw that his website's ranking was still at the bottom, and he continued to laugh at himself:

"It seems that no matter how hard I try, I can't change the people around me. ”

On the 24th day of the competition, Tsing Yi updated 12 chapters, ranking second on the update list. However, the rest of his website just hurriedly updated a chapter to deal with the readers, so they went out to play.

They cruelly didn't call Tsing Yi, let him work hard to change this unchangeable result alone, and let him stick to the ridiculous dream of entering the top ten alone.

Indeed, Tsing Yi was too annoying for them.

Because he always insists on the ridiculous rule of the online article "The leftover is king" to make them not give up the game.

He always asks them to come back early to prepare for the next day's game when they are discussing going to SH.

He always hopes to change the people around him, and always hopes that he can let these writers, who have never known each other and finished their work, realize the respect for the writing profession and the respect for readers!

He's always...

So stupid...

It's stupid enough to give up and enjoy life like them, but it's still doing useless insistence.

"One more day, don't sleep! Fight!" Tsing Yi tried a few times but still didn't feel sleepy, he turned on the light, took out a pen and began to silently write today's details in the notebook.

Late at night at this northland hotel, almost all the rooms are lights out.

Only a lamp glowing with a dull yellow glow remained.

As if he was telling his own persistence, telling the belief in Tsing Yi's online article "The leftover is king"!

On the twenty-fifth day of the competition, after Yang Fan added the three stores, he stopped the code word.

The high-intensity writing in the past few days has made him a little overwhelmed.

As a result, he only updated five chapters today.

However, in today's competition, almost all writers have only updated five or six chapters.

Because, the status of the top ten websites is basically unshakable.

Most writers choose to give up and take advantage of this rare time to go out and relax.

It's just that there is a writer who doesn't feel that way, and he is still insisting.

Although, Tsing Yi's hands were already trembling because of the high-intensity update of 10,000 words every day since the beginning of the game, although there has always been a voice in Tsing Yi's heart persuading him to give up.

However, his insistence did not allow him to stop the hand of the codeword. His dreams didn't want him to give up.

In this way, he wrote and wrote, and wrote until half past nine in the evening, when the system prompt locked his computer, and he was still desperately typing on the keyboard.

I don't know how long it took for him to stop the codeword.

There were a lot of writers laughing outside his door, and there were many writers who were talking loudly about where they were going to play today.

This made him in a trance, because, when he was coding words, he didn't hear a sound outside the door.

He stood up, then walked to the balcony, looking at the bright lights outside, and the white expanse, he suddenly felt a sense of loneliness from the bottom of his heart.

Since he participated in the competition, he has not given himself a vacation, and he has not been out of the room for almost the past twenty-five days.

He didn't even know when SH would start to snow.

This "ignorance" made him suddenly feel empty and lonely from the bottom of his heart. With trembling hands, he took out a crumpled box of cigarettes from his pocket, took out a cigarette, and lit it silently.

The sporadic glow of the cigarette butt was as faint but bright as yesterday's lamp.

Tsing Yi, a lonely, incomprehensible writer, was eliminated along with his unfinished dreams and the website.

It's just that in this game, he got the twenty-fifth day and the first place in the update list.

His pen name, along with that ranking list, hung up for a night.

The dazzling update list seems to prove that a persistent and hard-working writer has a short but wonderful competition.

On the 26th day of the competition, Tsing Yi packed his luggage early and prepared to leave early.

At the door of the hotel, he saw an ordinary-looking man pressing the lighter hard, but unfortunately, the lighter was already out of gas.

"Use mine. Tsing Yi smiled and handed over the lighter.

"Ahh

"I'll make a memento for you. Tsing Yi looked at the ordinary man and said.

"It's not good. The ordinary man was stunned.

"It's okay, at least there's something to make someone in the city remember that I've been here. Tsing Yi said a little lonely.

"Don't say it so disgusting... SH will always be in this place. Come as you want. The ordinary man swallowed his saliva and looked at Tsing Yi with a little chill.

"Yes, this city will never move, and I will come back again!" Tsing Yi listened to the man's words, thought for a long time, and continued firmly: "Then when the time comes, you can return this lighter to me!"

After saying this, Tsing Yi firmly chose to leave early without looking back.

"It's inexplicable... It's just a lighter...", the ordinary man shook his head.

Then, he looked at Tsing Yi's lonely back and shouted, "Okay then! I'll wait for you to come back!"

On the twenty-fifth day of the competition, four teams were eliminated.

Thanks to Tsing Yi's efforts, his website was eliminated with the penultimate result.

Although the penultimate and penultimate endings are eliminated.

However, on the penultimate site, there was once a man who was the number one on the daily update chart, and his name was on the most eye-catching update list of the competition one night!
