In the freshman dormitory of Capital University, Ren Youyou has no classes now. But she still maintains a regular schedule, waking up early and going to bed early every day. While her roommates were still sleeping in bed, she had gone for a run, had breakfast, and came back to review her homework for a while.

When it was almost noon, Ren Youyou rested for a while, got up and walked outside the dormitory.

"Squeak-"

The door of the dormitory is a bit old, and the school said it would be changed this year, but it hasn't been changed yet. So even though Ren Youyou tried to be as careful as possible, the door still let out a slight moan.

"Huh? What time is it? ”

The roommate who slept on Ren Youyou's top bunk finally opened his eyes, looked at the time, and then sat up: "Is it already noon?" Yoyo, where are you going? ”

Ren Youyou stopped, turned around and replied, "I'll go to the cafeteria to eat." Do you want to go together? ”

"Oh, wait for me."

The roommate said, got dressed hee-hee-hee, and said as he got out of bed, "By the way, the sci-fi world is sent at this time of the week, right?" Do you want to buy a copy after eating? Is the second part of Brother Lu's "Three-Body Problem" going to be serialized? ”

Since I knew that Ren Youyou called Brother Lu An, the roommates have become "our Brother Lu" when they talk about Lu An. In the blink of an eye, Lu Anzhi became the shared brother in this dormitory - although he never appeared in this dormitory.

Ren Youyou said: "Yes, I'm going to buy a copy after eating." "She saved a lot of money by working and studying during the summer vacation, and it was not a problem to buy a few magazines. During her college career, she also planned to fight for scholarships, and after attending Capital University for a while, she felt that she had the strength.

The roommate said, "That's good, let's go together." ”

The two of them went out together, had lunch in the cafeteria, and then went to a nearby newsstand to ask if the latest issue of science fiction was available.

The owner of the newsstand said, "No, the last one has just been sold." I don't know what's going on, this time the sci-fi world is so easy to sell, I would have bought more books if I knew it. ”

"Well, why is there no more?"

The roommate said dejectedly, and then asked, "Then uncle, can you buy a few more books?" ”

The owner of the newsstand was an old man, and when he heard the words of Ren Youyou's roommate, he sighed and said, "I can't get in." I called and asked, and the magazine was selling very fast this time. I didn't have any stock at the book. ”

This old man obviously only sells newspapers and periodicals and does not read the content, not as professional as Wang Ping. Now when I encounter this situation, I have to ask the person who has been buying books and magazines: "You two little girls have never come to buy science fiction before, is there something popular in this magazine?" Otherwise, this magazine is probably not so popular. ”

Ren Youyou nodded and said, "Yes, there is the second part of Lu Anzhi's "Three-Body Problem" in this issue of science fiction. ”

The old man recalled slightly, clapped his hands, and suddenly realized: "Ah, it's that!" There seems to be one on the cover of the magazine, and those two words are not small! Oops, why didn't I pay attention? ”

The roommate felt that it was impossible for the old man to notice it, and she could see that this old man was not one who paid attention to the content.

She walked away from the newsstand with Ren Youyou and said, "Shall we go elsewhere?" ”

Ren Youyou shook his head and said, "I'm not going." There are also classes in the afternoon. After the class in the afternoon, I went to the Internet café to buy the electronic version and watched it. ”

The magazines of Science Fiction World are issued simultaneously in electronic and physical editions, and there are relatively few physical editions, but because there are many die-hard book fans, they are not worried about not being able to sell. And the electronic version can also sell a lot of each issue.

But Ren Youyou, a freshman, doesn't have a laptop, and neither do the others in her dorm — a world that is so expensive that people don't buy it unless they need to.

Therefore, if you want to buy an electronic version to watch, you can only go to an Internet café.

- She can still buy the electronic version, she now has a bank card in hand, and she has also opened online banking, which has just been popular for a while, and there is no problem with online shopping and buying electronic items.

But the roommate said, "Don't worry. I didn't have classes in the afternoon, so I went out for a walk. Our school is probably out of sale here, but there may be bookstores or newsstands farther away. If I bought it, I wouldn't have to go to an internet café. ”

She knew that Ren Youyou didn't play games, and it was helpless to go to the Internet café, so she said so.

However, at this moment, Ren Youyou's mobile phone rang suddenly. Ren Youyou took out his mobile phone and looked at it, but it was an unfamiliar number.

She thought for a moment, answered the phone, and asked, "Hello?" Who is it? ”

A voice rang on the other end of the phone: "Hello, your courier." ”

Ren Youyou was stunned for a moment, and asked, "I haven't bought anything recently, and no one told me to send me a courier." ”

The voice on the phone said, "I'll take a look later...... Your name is Ren Youyou, right? ”

Ren Youyou said, "Yes." ”

The voice said, "That's fine." You just come over and get the courier. I'll be waiting for you at the west gate. ”

"Oh, good."

Ren Youyou agreed in a daze, still a little confused in his heart.

Her roommate accompanied her to the west gate of Capital University, where she saw a courier waiting for her next to a delivery tricycle.

She walked over with her roommate, took the delivery, and the courier got on a tricycle and left.

The courier has already paid the courier fee, and she doesn't need to come to pay.

"It's like a book."

The roommate looked at the package in Ren Youyou's hand and said.

"Well, I'll take it apart and take a look."

Ren Youyou nodded and said, and then opened the express package. A brand new Science Fiction World magazine has been revealed.

"Oops!"

The roommate exclaimed and asked Ren Youyou, "You booked the science fiction world?" ”

Ren Youyou was a little puzzled and said, "No." ”

She took out the magazine, suddenly thought of something, took out her mobile phone and called Lu Anzhi.

"Brother Lu."

After Lu Anzhi answered the phone, she called.

Lu Anzhi asked on the other end of the phone, "What's wrong?" ”

Ren Youyou said: "I received a magazine from the science fiction world, did you send it?" ”

Lu Anzhi said: "Oh, you said that. It's from Science Fiction World Magazine. They came up with a sample and said they were going to send it to me, and it didn't help me to take it, so I told them to send it to you. I forgot to tell you. ”

Ren Youyou was slightly stunned, he didn't expect this magazine to be sent by Lu Anzhi.

"Thank you."

She said from the bottom of her heart.

Lu Anzhi: "What are you polite to me?" You didn't buy the magazine yourself, did you? ”

Ren Youyou said: "I was going to buy it, but the newsstand was already sold out. ”

Lu Anzhi: "That's right, you can just take that sample magazine and read it." ”

Ren Youyou said: "Well, thank you, Brother Lu." ”

Lu Anzhi smiled and said, "Look, you say thank you again." I went to dinner and talked back. ”

After hanging up the phone, Ren Youyou's roommate couldn't help but say, "Our brother Lu is so good to you." ”

Ren Youyou smiled slightly and said, "Brother Lu is very good to everyone. He was a very kind man. ”

"Really?"

The roommate made up the image of Lu Anzhi for a while, and said, "Alas, I really don't know if there is a chance to meet our brother Lu." ”

After returning to the dormitory, Ren Youyou was not in a hurry. She lent the magazines to her roommates, took a break herself, and then went to class.

The roommate went to bed, lay down on the bed, put the magazine on the pillow and opened it, and directly found the serial page of "The Three-Body Problem" and read it.

The words "dark forest" are in black and bold, which is very important, and the roommates can't help but wonder what these four words mean.

In this issue of Science Fiction World Weekly, only the prologue was published in the second part of "The Three-Body Problem". The length is not too long, and Ren Youyou's roommate quickly finished reading it.

But in the short length of the prologue, a lot of information was revealed, and after reading it, the roommate remembered it for a long time. The sociology of the universe that extends from ants, as well as the "I'm afraid of you" that the Three-Body Man said through Tomoko and Evans, all seem to reveal the theme of the second part of "The Three-Body Problem".

From this short beginning, the roommates felt a larger, grander, faintly more impactful story and background extension. She never expected that the three-body world, which seemed to crush humans like ants, would suddenly say something like "I'm afraid of you". Obviously, in the first part, the three-body people still say to the earthlings "You are bugs".

However, "bugs" and "I'm afraid of you" don't seem to conflict.

The lion fights the rabbit with all his strength, and the three-body world's attack on the earth does not despise the earthlings because of the backward scientific and technological level of the earth. The group of creatures from four light-years away, in their own way, fully understood the earthlings before they uttered it.

This made the roommate feel even more creepy.

The three-body world is becoming more and more oppressive.

……

There are four people in the dormitory, and the other two roommates are often absent. After reading the prologue of the second part of "The Three-Body Problem", and then watching the others in the science fiction world, this roommate felt a little bored.

Those, in terms of imagination, seem to be decent, making people feel cliché at first glance, compared to "The Three-Body Problem", in the end it is a little less meaningful.

She barely read a few short and medium-length stories, and when Ren Youyou came back, she returned the book to Ren Youyou.

"Have you finished reading it? What do you think? ”

When Ren Youyou took the magazine, he asked his roommate.

The roommate said: "Everything else is not interesting, the second part of "The Three-Body Problem", although it is only the beginning, it is really good-looking." I think it's even better than the first one. Our Brother Lu's imagination is too strong! ”

"Hmm. I'll take a look first. ”

Ren Youyou said, sat down at her own desk, and turned the page directly to the page of the second part of "The Three-Body Problem" just like when her roommate opened the magazine before.

Then, read.

The roommate jumped out of her bed, and while Ren Youyou was reading, she sat on the side, occasionally glancing at the book, reviewing the wonderful passages she had just read, and at the same time always paying attention to Ren Youyou's reaction.

But she was destined to be disappointed, Ren Youyou's face was expressionless when she read the book, and she couldn't see the slightest reaction.

After Ren Youyou finished reading, she asked, "How is it?" ”

Ren Youyou said: "It's very beautiful. ”

The roommate laughed and said, "Yes! What do you guess after reading this prologue? ”

She actually wanted to ask Ren Youyou if she could guess how the Three-Body World was going to attack the earth. However, Ren Youyou groaned for a while and said, "I'm not the author, and I can't guess anything." I just think...... The second part should revolve around this cosmic sociology. That's what the prologue is all about. Well...... There is also the subtitle 'Dark Forest', which should be the theme of cosmic sociology. ”

The roommate's eyes widened slightly, and he said, "I really deserve to be the top student in the college entrance examination!" You must have done a perfect score in reading comprehension. ”

Ren Youyou asked, "Do you think so too?" ”

The roommate smiled and said, "I don't have the ability to do this, I don't think about this at all." I just think you're right. ”

She directly asked Ren Youyou the question in her heart: "How do you think the Three-Body Man will attack the earth?" ”

Ren Youyou shook his head and said, "I don't know, you have to ask Brother Lu about this." ”

The roommate was speechless: "What does it mean to ask Brother Lu?" Isn't that a spoiler? Or guess it yourself. ”

Ren Youyou shook his head again: "I can't guess." ”

The roommate thought for a while, sighed, and said: "I always feel that all the ways in which aliens attack the earth that I can think of, as well as the alien stories, TV, and movies I have watched before, are not as good as the atmosphere and imagination that "The Three-Body Problem" has paved from the first part to the present." ”

"Hmm."

Ren Youyou nodded, agreeing with this. She really couldn't imagine how Brother Lu would arrange the attack of the Three-Body Man, but she always felt that Brother Lu would definitely surprise people.

……

The opening of the second serialization of "The Three-Body Problem" has made the already popular discussion on the Internet more and more high. As for Science Fiction World Magazine, the physical version of this issue was sold out early, and the electronic version was twice as high as the previous issue, which made the entire Science Fiction World Magazine happy.

They deeply felt the appeal of Lu Anzhi's three words to book lovers, and also felt the strength of this young author who began to appear four years ago.

For this reason, Lu Anzhi's editor in the science fiction world also thanked Lu Anzhi in Qiuqiu, and thanked Lu Anzhi for putting the second part of "The Three-Body Problem" on the science fiction world.

- Science fiction world is thanking, readers are complaining, saying that they only need to buy a maple tree before, but now it's good, science fiction world also has to be bought, and the budget has become higher.

Of course, there are many readers who insist on not buying magazines and wait patiently for a single book.

And Lu Anzhi even received a call from his father-in-law Zhang Yuzhi, saying that he wrote "The Three-Body Problem" well, and now Zhang Yu has bought two magazines a week, and "The Condor Heroes" and "The Three-Body Problem" are all watching.

However, the character descriptions in "The Three-Body Problem" are a little weak, and they are much worse than "Shooting the Condor" and "The Condor", Zhang Yuzhi expressed his hope that Lu Anzhi can pay attention to it.

Lu Anzhi said that "The Three-Body Problem" should focus on expressing those sci-fi ideas, so it will not put too much thought into the character description. There is no way to give, there must be gain.

When he said this, Zhang Yuzhi didn't say anything more.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Anzhi smiled with Zhang Suxin and said: "I knew this, if I didn't write "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and write "The Three-Body Problem", can I win our dad?" ”

Zhang Suxin glanced at Lu An and said, "You first ask Teacher Gu if you agree." ”

Gu Ruiyong, the old brother, couldn't stand the chatter, Zhang Suxin just finished speaking, and Gu Ruiyong called Lu Anzhi.

Lu Anzhi picked up the phone and asked, "What's the matter, Brother Gu?" ”

Gu Ruiyong said: "I arrived in Haidu, and I just got off the plane with Lao Wen. Where do you live now? We'll go directly to it later, you bring out frangipani and slim, let's find a place to sit. ”

Lu Anzhi said: "Frangipani can't drink when she is pregnant. ”

Gu Ruiyong smiled: "It's not like you haven't told me about this." She eats and we drink—well, you'll have to listen to your wife now, you see you're in for a treat, and if you can't drink, then don't drink yet. ”

Lu Anzhi glanced at Zhang Suxin, and saw that Zhang Suxin nodded and did not object, so he said, "Okay." ”

He told Gu Ruiyong the address and hung up the phone.

When Xian Xian finished school in the afternoon, Gu Ruiyong called to tell Lu Anzhi that he and Wen Zhangping had arrived nearby, found a restaurant to sit down, and reported an address to Lu Anzhi.

Lu Anzhi drove Zhang Suxin to pick up Xian Xian together. When he took Xian Xian to the car, the little guy saw Lu Anzhi driving the car, and asked, "What about the electric car?" ”

The little one just wants to ride an electric car when he goes to and from school now.

Lu Anzhi said to Xian Xian: "Today, my mother will pick you up, and we will go to the restaurant for dinner." Is it okay to ride an electric car again tomorrow? ”

Xian Xian immediately pointed to the distance and said, "The hotel is there." As she spoke, she grabbed Lu Anzhi and Zhang Suxin with her little hands and wanted to go in the direction she pointed.

This little guy is now able to know where the restaurant is.

Lu Anzhi smiled hurriedly and said to the little guy, "We won't go to that hotel." Dad takes you to a restaurant. ”

Only then did Slim Slim stop.

Gu Ruiyong and Wen Zhangping are looking for a small restaurant in the middle of nowhere, cooking Northeast cuisine. These two old guys don't like the Southern Restaurant, and they always feel that the amount of food is too small, and they don't eat well.

After Lu Anzhi parked the car, he took Zhang Suxin and Xian Xian into the restaurant and went straight to the private room.

"Sit down, sit down."

"You're here, starving me."

Gu Ruiyong and Wen Zhangping greeted when they saw a few people coming.

Wen Zhangping immediately called the waiter to order, a few people ordered for someone, after ordering, when the waiter went down, Gu Ruiyong took out a hard drive, handed it to Lu Anzhi, and said: "Here, this is the video of the actor's audition, it's all in it, you go back and take a good look." ”

Lu Anzhi said: "Okay, it's troublesome Brother Gu." ”

Gu Ruiyong smiled and said, "What's the trouble with this? You are the original book, and your degree of completion is so high, I still have to respect the original work in order to shoot this TV series well. And you choose the actor well, when the time comes, we can also publicize that this is Guo Jing and Huang Rong who you personally selected, eh, especially Huang Rong! Do you think there is a gimmick? ”

Lu Anzhi nodded, admitting that what Gu Ge said made sense. Didn't Weng Meiling's version of Huang Rong in her previous life have such publicity?

Wen Zhangping smiled and said, "You old guy, you are really good at crooked ways!" ”

Gu Ruiyong glared at Wen Zhangping: "You still say that I am you, aren't you?" When you come to Haidu to play a music festival, you have to use the popularity of the road brother to publicize it. ”

Wen Zhangping also glared: "It's like you didn't advertise!" ”

Lu Anzhi and Zhang Suxin were busy persuading in the middle, and only then did they persuade the two old brothers.

Wen Zhangping said: "Alas, Brother Lu, this music festival is weirdly big, weird and fun, if you don't come, it's a pity." But there is really no way, the organizers have made the place to the suburbs for the sake of the good effect of the venue. That place is quite remote, and your daughter-in-law is pregnant, so it's really inconvenient to go there. ”

Lu Anzhi smiled and said, "Brother Gu, just have fun by yourself, it's okay." "He's actually quite interested in the festival, but he's interested in watching it offstage, and he's not very interested in performing on stage.

He remembered something, and asked again: "What about those old brothers in the Watermelon Peel Band, why haven't you seen them?" ”

Wen Zhangping said: "This time I arrived with Lao Gu first, and they came later. When he said this, he suddenly sneered and said, "Hehe, Brother Lu, I still have a reluctant request here." ”

Then before Lu Anzhi could respond, Gu Ruiyong said: "Heh! You want Brother Lu to write a song again, right? Why don't you write it yourself! ”

Wen Zhangping said: "Isn't it good for me to write this kind of myself?" Brother Lu, I have been singing this song "Xian'er" for more than half a year, and I have sung it all over the north and south of the river. ”

Lu Anzhi agreed, and said, "Okay, then I'll go back and think about it, write it and send it to you." ”

Wen Zhangping put his mind at ease and said, "That's really thank you Brother Lu!" ”

Gu Ruiyong said: "Brother Lu, don't just be busy writing songs for this old guy, and our "Legend of the Condor Heroes". This old guy is now so busy playing the girls at music festivals that he doesn't write songs. I have you all but now. ”

Wen Zhangping glared at Gu Ruiyong again: "Why am I called a girl?" Is it okay for me to call it a stage style? My fans don't mind, you name it! ”

Gu Ruiyong let out a sigh with his nose disdainfully: "Heh! Just you? Still fans? Also stage style? I see you're playing like a ghost, what stage are you on? It's appropriate to go to the funeral and sing. When the time comes, a filial son will come over and give you ten yuan to blow a song, you will blow a section of the suona, and then a filial son will come to give you fifteen, you sing a big brother, you play rock, what's the use of you playing him, well, yes, you are the best at trumpet, and then a filial son will come over and play twenty, how about you play a trumpet? ”

Wen Zhangping said angrily: "Get out of your motherfuck!" ”

"Roll ......"

Xian Xian seemed to think that Wen Zhangping's words were interesting, and she had to learn them. Zhang Suxin hurriedly covered her slender little mouth. Xian Xian's words had to be held back.

Gu Ruiyong said: "Take a look! Look! Let the little ones learn! There are children here, so be careful when you speak. ”

Wen Zhangping hurriedly smiled, and said to Xian Xian: "Little girl, what grandpa just said is not good, it's a dirty word, don't learn from grandpa, okay?" ”

Xian Xian asked, "Why does Grandpa say dirty words?" ”

Gu Ruiyong said: "You grandfather is dirty, don't learn from him." We're all clean. ”

Wen Zhangping: "......"
