Chapter 3 Give Up or Persevere?

Don't let others tell you what to do, if you have a dream, you have to protect it. If others can't do anything, just tell you that you can't do it either. If you want something, go for it.

From "When Happiness Knocks on the Door"

"How do I get points?" Yang Fan cheered up and asked Xiang Lan curiously.

"Points are related to the information of the work you write. Lan explained seriously, "Collecting two counts as 1 point, and the recommended vote is 1 vote and 1 point." 1 commuter pass costs 20 points. If you are in the top 10 of various lists on the website, each place will be rewarded with different points, 1000 points for the first place, and 100 points will be reduced from the bottom. As for more ways to earn points, it's too far from where you are now. ”

Yang Fan fell into deep thought, he just saw the cheapest goods in the mall for 100 points. Recommendation votes except for their own trumpets to vote,,There is no source,Monthly tickets can only be owned by works on the shelves.,As for the works to be on various lists, don't think about it.,Now the only way to get points is to collect.。 He can only work on the collection.

He turned on the computer and took a closer look at his work, and the number of collections was still the same as yesterday, still firmly surviving at the number 21.

How do you improve your collection? That's a big question.

"By the way, when I read urban novels, won't the system give a newbie package?What about my newbie package?" Yang Fan suddenly remembered how Goldfinger could not have a newbie package, so he asked.

"I'm your starter pack, and it's a starter pack. Lan said angrily.

"Then what can you do for me?" Yang Fan said curiously, a picture of a scene from a novel he had read before came to his mind, the male protagonist got a beautiful female robot, omnipotent from heaven to earth, destroying the world and destroying the world, thinking of this, Yang Fan laughed obscenely.

Looking at Yang Fan's lewd smile, Lan roughly guessed what he thought in his heart, so he rolled his eyes and said, "Don't think too much, my role is to supervise you, hey, Yang Fan, do you have anything to eat, I'm hungry." ”

"Aren't you the system? Why do you still need to eat? What do you eat, electricity, gasoline or what?" Yang Fan thought of Stephen Chow's performance of "Changing Stars", and then looked at Lan with a look of surprise.

"Don't compare me to the lower sapient beings in the novels you read, I'm a higher sapient being. I, like you humans, need sleep and food. Lan Shengsheng said dissatisfiedly.

"And what do you eat?"

"What you eat, I eat. ”

Yang Fan got up and looked around the refrigerator and kitchen, and finally found that there were only the last two packets of instant noodles and two eggs, so after thinking about it, he decided to boil a pot of hot water and soak the last two packs of instant noodles.

"Hmm... Hmmm... It's delicious, it's delicious..."Lan praised as she ate the noodles, this was the first time she had eaten food from human society.

Yang Fan began to think about how to improve his collection, and after thinking about it for a long time, he didn't have a clue, and his mood became depressed, and the instant noodles in front of him hadn't moved. He felt a pair of eyes fixed on him. He woke up from his contemplation, and then saw Lan staring at the instant noodles in front of him with wide eyes.

The bowl in front of Lan was empty, and there was not even any soup left, Yang Fan smiled bitterly and handed the bowl of instant noodles in front of him to Lan. "You eat. ”

"Aren't you going to eat it?" asked Xi Yuelan, staring at the bowl of fragrant instant noodles.

"I don't have an appetite. "Anyone who learns that their hard-earned work has been abandoned by censors and editors is too difficult to describe what kind of blow and mood, and it is natural to have no appetite.

"Then you're welcome. Lan took it and gobbled it up.

Yang Fan finally chose not to think about this, after all, it was still too far for him to redeem enough points to buy goods, and his current consideration was whether to give up the book and write the book again.

"Delicious. Lan happily patted his little belly and sighed. She glanced at Yang Fan, who was still frowning, pouted and said, "Still thinking about the work that was abandoned by the editor?"

"No, I'm thinking now about whether to keep writing or give up on that book and write it again. ”

"You can decide for yourself, I think give up that book and rewrite it. ”

Basically, when I learned that there was no possibility of signing a contract for the work, most professional writers would give up on that work, not only because the investment of time and energy was too disproportionate to the gain, but also because since there was no possibility of signing a contract, it would definitely not be promoted and publicized by the editorial department, and the collection would not go up, and the subscription would not go up, which was fatal to the writer.

Yang Fan got up, walked to the computer, opened his book that had been judged to have failed by the editor, and read it carefully.

Every time he opens a chapter, his mind will come up with the mood of writing this chapter, as well as the shadows and stories of the characters he has worked so hard to create, this is his first work, and it can be said that this novel is like his own child for him. He looked at his work, and there was a little reluctance and reluctance in his eyes.

Give up this work and start over. There was a voice in his heart that kept persuading him.

Give it up and start over, he finally made the decision, and when he was about to close the page, he saw the twenty-one collections, and at that moment, he felt as if something had struck his heart.

Twenty-one collections, in addition to one of their own trumpets, and twenty are website readers. Basically, his novels started with the first chapter, from his first collection of trumpets, and slowly became the current twenty-one collection. And those twenty-one collections are in a state of immobility, rain or shine, and they have not increased or decreased. has been growing up with this work until now.

He gritted his teeth and made a decision that for the sake of those twenty readers, he would also insist on finishing the novel.

According to the outline, this novel has about 1.4 million words left. At the rate at which he is now updating 3,000 words a day. He had to write for more than 460 days. It can be said that he wasted more than 460 days on this book, which did not bring him financial income.

This is a big no-no for professional writers. When the work knows that it has no commercial value, and still spends time on it, it can be said to be a chronic suicide, and the average mature professional writer will choose to give up.

But Yang Fan is not a professional writer, he is just a failed rookie writer, but he has many things that professional writers do not have, the most precious of which is that he cherishes his readers more than anyone else.

Lan was waiting for Yang Fan's choice beside her, and her pupils suddenly shrank. Yang Fan's Perseverance in the attribute bar jumped from 20 to 25. The attribute of perseverance is much more difficult to improve than other attributes, and other attributes can be improved by studying and taking classes, while the attribute of perseverance has no other way to improve than to improve itself. She looked at Yang Fan in surprise.

"I chose to continue writing this book. Yang Fan's eyes revealed a hint of firmness. The original ordinary appearance feels different because of that hint of firmness, as if there is a different kind of charm.

"Do you want to think about it? Lan kindly persuaded. As an intelligent being, she can rationally analyze every problem and give the best solution. In her analysis, rewriting a novel is the best solution for Yang Fan at present.

"I am accountable to my readers, even though there are only twenty readers. I can't give up this book for their sake!"
