Hello everyone, this is Cao Pujun! Originally, I have always wanted to write a testimonial after Wan Ding, and share with you my creative journey.

There happened to be an Easter egg chapter activity at the starting point, so I wrote along with this Easter egg chapter activity.

It's a long love letter.

2022 has been a very special year for me, with a lot going through it, especially before December arrives, and I am going through an unprecedented period of low times.

I work for a game company, although it is a small company with only a few dozen people, but from the boss to the employees, they are all young people, the company atmosphere is very good, we often play games together, and there are some good projects that are on the rise.

I've been here since 19 years from ordinary copywriting planner to team leader, at most I have managed four people, although I am a small head barely a middle-level, I thought my career line would be slowly spelled out like this, but the cold wave in the game industry in 2022 has also affected our company, and it goes without saying that layoffs, salary cuts, suspension projects, and the suspension of some benefits.

Our company laid off almost half of the people at that time, and the rest of the people, especially the copywriters, also left one after another, and finally I was the only one left to maintain the project packaging work that had not stopped, because I liked the atmosphere of our company very much, and I usually organized various activities in the company, playing the Three Kingdoms Killing, Werewolf Killing, and singing K parties on weekends or something.

So on the National Day, I decided to reopen a new pit, and then I had this book "After I was reborn, I found out that I have a green plum".

I've mentioned it before.,Of course, I'm not a rookie author.,It's the trumpet of the LV3 author [Watanabe Old Thief] who was not famous at the starting point before.,Kuroko has a lot of them.。

But Watanabe is not actually my first author, I am actually an old author who has been writing books since 15 or 16 years, and I have been writing for six or seven years now.

My earliest work was written with an author number called "Fuji Cao Concealment", and some of the works in it are gone, and you can take a look at the black history of people if you like to pick up other people's black history.

I've loved writing since I was a kid.

Since elementary school, my essays have always been evaluated by teachers and read in class, and my primary school Chinese teacher always encouraged me to become a writer in the future.

Elementary school Chinese has a requirement to write a diary every day.,In order to be lazy, it's probably from the fourth grade.,I began to use it as a diary.,As for the beginning.,What I had a dream.,Dream XXX began to write my ancient debut.。

At that time, my friends liked "Yu-Gi-Oh" very much.,My childhood dream was to build a DM duel school.,Develop a dueling board (in fact, I also made it by hand on cardboard) or something.,As for the content,,It's all very shameful fandom.,The good friends in the class (including the girl I have a crush.、Cute girls) secretly wrote as a team to adventure together.。

This is 2005.

However, it was very popular in the class, and everyone often took my diary and circulated it around, so I felt very happy and accomplished.

As time went on, my favorite subject matter gradually shifted from Yu-Gi-Oh to "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", when I was a little Three Kingdoms fan in my class, and I liked to brag about playing all the Three Kingdoms games and Three Kingdoms themes everywhere (because I had a computer at home, so I actually did it).

At that age, the child's mind was a little rebellious, and I was a die-hard fan of "The Legend of Cao Cao in the Three Kingdoms", and gradually I began to advertise Cao Cao as an idol, which was the beginning of my liking of Boss Cao, and since then, I will have the name [Cao Concealment] on various IDs on the Internet.

When I was in the sixth grade of elementary school, I didn't want to be limited by the shackles of the diary, so I began to officially serialize it in the class, adding the names of all the students in the class to the original world view, and then put together a book of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms fandom "Romance of the Four Kingdoms" (but in the end, it was continuously refined and remastered, and finally it was unfinished, and the farthest was serialized to about 90 times).

After this incident was discovered by my homeroom teacher and Chinese teacher, she admired me very much, and even spent two classes reading my content aloud in class, and everyone would laugh when they heard that the classmates in the class were killed by me, but I didn't feel social death at all, and even felt very proud.

So, during the winter vacation of the sixth grade, the winter vacation homework no longer had to write a propositional essay, but everyone wrote one.

I don't know if my elementary school classmates hated me, I just thought I was handsome.

In fact, I have always been grateful to my Chinese teacher in primary school, without her encouragement, I would not be where I am now.

After many years, I finally understood that it is a luxury to have a dream that I have loved since I was a child.

A lot of people don't know what they want to do and what they like after graduating together, including many of my friends.

I'm glad I still have.

This is 2007.

After entering junior high school, because I had a computer at home, I gradually began to explore unknown areas that I had not dared to explore before.

I became a dead house, watching anime at home every day, watching astringent fans, and entering the pit as "Zero Demon".

At that time, the environment of the network was still very open.,You can see a lot of meat selling Crystal Palace that you don't dare to imagine.,But I've forgotten which one my earliest budding childhood friend was.,I reviewed my shame to see the record.,The most likely should be the heroine of "Healthy Full L Swimming Club" (Falling Childhood Plums),But it's too far away and the memory is more vague.。

But in short, at that time, there were a lot of explosions from the sky.,The pseudo-harem of the green plum defeated the dog.,At that time, the green plum didn't have a lot of tsundere like the pear pear.,In fact, they are all biased towards the kind of Yamato Nadshiko.,Gentle and virtuous but lack of courage and easy to be shy and the like.,Compared to the heroine who made trouble.,I'll prefer this kind of distressing character.,I really want to reach out and pull them.,I just want to smash the dog head of the sluggish male protagonist who was very popular at that time.。

All in all, in the past few years of watching in junior high school, this concept of "young taming and dyeing" has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

This is 2008~2010.

In the first two years of junior high school, I didn't create any new creations, but occasionally wrote some mood essays, essays, short stories, etc., which was my way of venting my stress.

It's more in, watching all kinds of fantasy online articles, watching youth pain literature and the like......

When I was in high school, I met a relationship that I couldn't ask for, and I thought we would be a natural fit, but I didn't expect that in the end, I would be self-inflicted.

In order to prove it to others like a show, I've been creating my own dedicated personality, even if she has a partner, I've been waiting silently, plus my grades have dropped a lot at that time, and when I'm most depressed, I can not talk to anyone for a month, just eat, sleep and study.

At that time, the only thing that accompanied me was my mood notebook.

I recorded my mood in a notebook.

What I want to say to her, prose, mood essays.

And any dreams about her.

As a result, I ended up writing and writing, and I actually started writing again.

The opportunity was to watch "Cangtian Voyage" that year, which was a drama specially created with Cao Cao as the protagonist.

Then I thought, like him, the original life trajectory of Boss Cao should be a very cool one.

I was very sad in my junior year of high school, and even a month before my senior year of high school.

It sounds deadly, but it really helped me.

helped me through my most painful and pretentious years.

In the end, my performance was not bad, and I entered a 211 university in Wuhan without extraordinary performance or crotch pulling.

That's why I love to write about it.

Because in the era when there was no childhood sweetheart and no emotional confidant, my friend Fa Xiao had almost nothing to do except play games, and I was the most pretentious, astringent, mature, sensitive and fragile one in Fa Xiao.

As far as I'm concerned, it's my childhood sweetheart, and it's my only loyal young tame.

This is 2011~2013.

After I went to college, I didn't actually forget about her, and I didn't even realize that I was a licking dog, doing a lot of humble things that were not just a single event.

But as time went on, I slowly let go of a lot of relief. I gradually began to serialize some short stories in QQ space, sometimes stories that are biased towards youth literature, and sometimes long serials on the theme of the Three Kingdoms.

Writing and writing, I was not satisfied with sharing my story with my friends at first, I wanted more people to see my work, and after a series of preparations, maybe 15 or 16 years, I started writing online articles at the starting point, and at that time there was not even a light zone, only a fanzone.

While moving what I wrote on space to the starting point, I was already waiting for the editor to sign up and fantasize about becoming the next platinum god.

Of course, the results are realistic and tragic.

When my first work "Elegy for the Bronze Sparrow" was written to 200,000 words, the starting collection was only 20, there were almost no book reviews, and the signing station was short.

I believe that the editor's vision is not good and not my work is not good, I have repaired and repaired the work, changed and changed, jinjiang, seventeen k, I have submitted manuscripts, but I have not received a contract short.

It was my first low period. I was scrolling through my backstage collection every day, reading book reviews, and I began to wonder if the "writing talent" I displayed as a child was not worth mentioning at all.

But at that time, I didn't completely give up, I couldn't pass a theme, just open a new pit.

Later,With the starting point of the light zone replacing the same area,The second yuan light、National light has become the hottest topic nowadays,Everyone is looking forward to becoming a light god in China.,

I also tried to submit a manuscript.,The theme is similar to FGO's urban ability Heroic Soul War.,The great chaos inherited by the emperors in Chinese history.,And the town soul street that is on fire behind it has a hundred million points of resemblance.。

I also finally received a short letter, I still remember it was about the third year of class, I was very happy, looking at the station text message word by word, adding and editing friends, filling in and asking all kinds of content, even happier than I now get the 10,000 badge.

Of course, the ending is also realistic and tragic, and the data of the works I signed up with is not much better than before, and I didn't stick to it until it was put on the shelves.

At that time, I was young and I just thought that I could get a recommendation and soar to the sky after signing a contract, how could I think that signing a contract was just the first step in writing an online article on the Long March of Huangsha?

This is 2013~2016.

During this low-level Xiaopu Street, I also met a lot of authors who had the same dreams as me, and I also made a lot of author friends at that time, but those netizens basically didn't update anymore, and it was possible that I didn't know the vest anymore haha.

The path of writing is always lonely.

"Reina and His Warrior Princess" is my first work on the shelves of Chapter V, the theme is inspired by a very famous RM game "Waste City Story", and it will be remade recently, and the first order of this work seems to be in the single digits, and I didn't pay much attention to it, it was already a senior at that time, and I had to write code word updates while I was busy looking for a job.

Looking for a job is actually not very smooth, my major is electrical engineering and automation, many positions are like Da Liu to go to the wilderness of the countryside to work at the hydropower station, I don't want to do this kind of job at a glance, in the middle and late stage of looking for a job, I changed my plan, began to try to invest in some games industry jobs.

But after all, we are born in the county without the guidance of others in the career planning, and I don't work hard enough to plan in advance, and finally the school recruited a BJ game company to do game evaluation, in fact, it is a combination of testing and operation, the internship salary is very low, only 4500, but I will report 6000 with my mother, because I still have income.

Although the subscription income is very low, I can get a guaranteed 1,500 yuan with creative incentives (180,000 updates per month).

Although the work is easy, it is also an 8-hour work system, and it is not easy to change 6000 a day, not to mention that I still have dozens of kilometers to work every day.

BJ's CP area is really broken, even more broken than my hometown Huangmei County, and there is not even a street light on the road.

I don't dare to spend money casually, because it is very difficult to live in BJ, and my colleagues often have dinner together, and I always say that I don't have time to go to the code, and I want to save money.

At that time, my family was still in debt, and my college tuition was paid with interest-free student loans, so I had to help pay off the money and share some of the pressure.

At that time, before tax, I was about 6,000 yuan, and I could still save 3,000 yuan a month.

However, my friends who studied at BJ saw the environment and salary I lived in BJ, and immediately strengthened their will to go to graduate school.

He felt that we had worked hard to get out of the small town of Zuotijia, and had worked hard to get into 211, but in the end, we were burning our youth in such a moldy rental house, looking at the white ceiling where there was nothing, thinking about life.

He said that he didn't know what I was trying to do, and that it was better to go to the hydropower station under this condition.

yes, what's the picture?

Whether it's a game or a game, being able to pursue your dreams seems like a beautiful thing.

But is there anything more appealing than money?

It seems that there is none.

But I am a very stubborn character, of course, I can also call it a face-saving character.

The more people think it's not good, the more I want to go all the way to the dark.

The first two years of my work were my precipitation period in the game industry, and game evaluation is a very idle job, usually testing game bugs, playing STEAM games when I have nothing to do, and the company will reimburse me.

During this time, I was exposed to a lot of indie games and wrote a lot of reviews.

In terms of words, I made a promise to myself that I must finish the book well on the shelves, starting from "My Young Taming Is Not a Goddess", and gradually mastered the skills of signing a contract.

Open a new pit, go to the outstation, and study the routine.

Shuke, Polobao, and even Ahri Literature Network have all had trumpets open pits.

Of course, there is no fire, and they are all full-time street fights.

In fact, the first two years of light have always been very popular with the same people.,The amount of absorption is also very large.,But I have to insist on writing original to save face.,I don't have that pen power.,In the end, it's natural to get a hammer.。

So I envy those writers who became famous at a young age when they first started writing books, I don't have that kind of talent and talent, so I can only write silently.

With a passion.

The first order of "Young Taming Dyeing" on the shelves is as high as 20, which is a great breakthrough in double digits.

I relied on the first order of these 20 and silently wrote a million words to the end.

Although there are not many people who pay to read this book, there are many readers who are willing to join the group.

I also have a lot of readers because of this book, and they have become friends who have a lot of fun talking on the Internet, passers-by, old R, Linlin, cute men, and Lori.

Like Lori when she first read my book, she was still a junior high school graduate.,A female high school student in the magic capital who was training in the first year of high school.,Now even college is about to graduate.。

Some readers are only active for a while, and then disappear in my online life, but when his ID appears in my book review section, I quickly remember the traces he left on my side.

Many readers in the book friend group have watched me rush all the way to the streets, especially those guys with group titles in Group 2, and I am really, really grateful for everyone's company.

Frankly speaking, many of my previous works, more or less, will have some literary and youthful diseases or thunder points, and some do have some deliberately disgusting readers, all of which I admit, "Yesterday's Love Song" There is a plot that has not been handled by someone who has been screenshotted and sent to YY bar and other post bar network Bao, so that I did not become popular, [Watanabe Old Thief] has been crowned with the title of cuckold author.

I really didn't understand it at that time, when I saw the words that everyone scolded me, I was often so angry that I wanted to cry, I was depressed and insomnia all night, and I almost didn't insist on finishing "Love Song".

But I keep telling myself: you can't be defeated by malice. If you admit defeat and compromise with them, you will completely lose, because you have failed the readers who have always loved you and supported you, you are sorry for them, you are sorry for yourself, and you are sorry for the characters you love deeply.

So in the end, I insisted on finishing "Yesterday's Love Song" normally (although some extras have not been written, I am still sorry for some people).

"Yesterday's Love Song" was the work I had the highest average subscription before the appearance of "Rebirth of Childhood Plums", and now there should be 800 average subscriptions.

However, it is very hard to insist on finishing a work with bad grades and no one reading it normally.

Maybe you'll be able to stick to one.

But two, three, or even more?

If hitting the streets is an achievement, I think I deserve an award.

Watanabe Old Thief, the author, has a total of eight or nine works on the street.,Some works do have the suspicion of ending quickly (but my single heroine really can't write long.。

"Love Song", "Dream Making", "Sense of Existence", "Young Taming and Dyeing" have all achieved a million words of normal completion, the first order of the last two works is 20 and 34 respectively, and the 7 orders of "War Queen" in ancient times are needless to say.

I've always been a bright character when I give a little sunshine, and if readers say they like my work in the comment area, I will be happy for a long time, and I want to work hard to write it for them and meet some of their requirements, so as long as there is such encouragement in the comment area, it is easy for me to stick to the end of the book.

Persist until I see the ending of the characters in the story, and persist until the remaining readers accompany me and shout the end of the scattered flowers.

I think it's a very romantic thing.

Just as once I decide to play a story-oriented game, I always want to see the story end for myself.

Carry something through to the end.

Life is already hard, don't abandon them in it.

In terms of career, I moved from BJ to Shanghai, Shanghai to Changsha, and finally decided to develop in Shenzhen.

I changed jobs to become a copywriter I wanted to be, which is also my career plan, enriching my gaming experience and becoming a copywriter.

Gradually, I am achieving results in this area.

To prove the strength level of copywriting planning is very good at projects and portfolios, so I have always had a regret because I don't have a high-quality work.

800 is very bluffing, but it is nothing here in Dianniang.

By the way, when I was writing a love song, I finally made up my mind to delete all her contact information and cut off all contact with her.

No longer actively pursues stable intimacy, nor does it expect stable intimacy.

This is what only happened in 2021?

Looking back, it's incredible.

This is November 2017~2021.

Before opening "Reborn Plum", I never imagined that it would bring me further achievements.

At most, I hope for a breakthrough in Qianjun, so I took advantage of the time when my boss asked me to study AI painting, and I added color to myself.

As for the theme of the story, after trying a lot, I returned to my most comfortable childhood love, that is, the era of "Young Taming and Dyeing", which can be regarded as a kind of return to basics.

I look forward to the love that will last for a long time, and companionship is the most affectionate confession.

I pride myself on being an honest and good person.,So the male protagonist of my pen won't have a very ruffian or scumbag behavior.,Most of them are more polite.。

There's nothing to say about the content of the story.,Except that there is no green plum.,Contrary to Mei Fang.,Nothing succeeds and doesn't dare to try.,It's my own life.。

I'm a nostalgic person, and I always remember a lot of things from the past, and I can call out my elementary school classmates by name as soon as I see them.

So in the end, this book is just making up for my own difficulties.

In the early stage of the book, the book review area was closed, and the collection increased by a few times a day, and I even had the urge to apologize before it was put on the shelves, readers.

But fortunately, it persevered.

Editor Lu Mingda takes great care of me, provides me with all kinds of writing suggestions, and always gives me feedback as soon as I have questions.

Former readers have always supported me.

Obviously, I've always been like that.

But I still have readers who have always liked it.

That's the joy of writing –

There will always be someone who will like you and resonate with you.

So, the testimonial finally came to December 2022.

The story seems to be going down a path full of regrets, both for me and for Leo Messi, who I've been following and watching him play since 10 years.

I'm not a big fan, but I follow Messi's news and his important games, whether it's club or country.

I like Messi's character, he's from Argentina, he's playing well, he's a good guy.

But every time I look at Messi, I always see all kinds of regrets.

watched him become the director of an orphanage in the Champions League, carrying Barcelona alone, but suffered countless reversals;

Watching him in the 14 World Cup final, when he was only one step away from the Hercules Cup, he even touched the staring scene of the Hercules Cup with his breath;

watched him kick the key penalty in the Copa America final, looking at the sky with a remorseful and weeping expression;

Watching him chase Mbappe's figure in 18 years, his eyes are full of himself when he was young;

watched him be abandoned by his beloved Barcelona, but he finally failed to fulfill his promise of one person and one city, nor did he usher in the most gorgeous curtain call performance of the Camp Nou football king;

In fact, it's not just the coal boss, Ah Kun, and Angel, their dreams have never been realized, and they are crying so heartbroken.

Even a great player like Boss May is full of regrets, and I couldn't sleep for a long time after watching the match against France in '18.

Because I thought this was his last swan song.

It's like my brainless dream of chasing online articles, asking for it but never getting it.

However, all the hard work and dedication really paid off, just like a fairy tale for adults.

However, everything came true in this fantastic December, and both me and Messi achieved their own fulfillment.

Of course, my little achievements are definitely not worthy of being comparable to Boss Mei.

But this December is really fantastic for my online writing journey.

For the first time, there was a breakthrough in the milestones.

This means that my work has truly gained a certain degree of widespread love and recognition.

You don't know how many times I've woken up and seen the dream of 99+ recommended votes, and the dream of breaking 100 new collections every day.

A small adaptation of a sentence by the football poet He Weihe:

The reason why we love the online literature industry is because it entrusts us with good wishes that we can never achieve in real life.

This is not just a feeling that can be interpreted by the word "cool".

For me, the hardships of life can be filled with codewords, and can be made up with your support and encouragement.

For you, I hope that my works can bring you a yearning for a better life and make up for the difficulties of your youth.

Let you find a little solace in this not very good world.

I still like to read your book reviews, and I read almost every single one of them.

I see a lot of people who resonate with me, and a lot of people lose their childhood plums in childhood.

I could have maintained a good relationship all the time, but now I can't wait to go back and throw myself in the pocket.

In the end, the ignorance of youth is the most regrettable.

Looking back, I don't know what stupid thing I was doing.

But that's how life is.

Looking back on my creative journey now, it's still a fantastic journey.

For seven years, or even seventeen years, the indissoluble bond with me has brought me to where I am today.

How many times have I walked to get to this book.

The thunder points and lessons accumulated by each street book have become a big hole to avoid in the creation of the book "Rebirth of Childhood Plums".

Of course, there will be new pits, so far I think the control is good? (Self-feeling)

There is no doubt that the characters I have designed in the past have been deeply imprinted in my mind, becoming some elements of the new book, and becoming part of the inspiration for the design of Yuanyuan, Youxi, and even Mei Fang.

These are all the stories I've had with Wen so far.

If you readers want to get involved in the field of online literature, this journey of mine can be regarded as a very complete comparison.

Of course, I also know that I am not to the extent of success now, and it is not my turn to be complacent.

The book "Rebirth of Green Plums" still has a long way to go in the follow-up, and the recent lack of water is because I am often a little busy working overtime, and the sweetness of the main line will be slowly raised in the follow-up, and the outline is there.

To be honest, I'm almost writing 7,000 words now.,Damn.,I don't usually work that code words.,It's really a set of hypocrisy.。

I only send a hypocritical article like this once, mainly for the benefit of everyone hahaha, it's all random things, and you don't have to read it too seriously.

That's pretty much it, the New Year is coming, I wish you all a happy and prosperous New Year in advance!

Thank you again for seeing this.

Thank you for reading my book.

Thank you for liking me.

Whether it is this book or myself, I will continue to accompany you in the coming year and help you achieve your childhood dreams.

In 2023, please continue to advise.
