Chapter 3: The World at the Frontier of War
The teacher's comments are over, but Liu Xu did not usher in the ridicule of his classmates, firstly, because his classmates have been in love for so many years, and his relationship with other classmates is not good or bad, so he can't mock each other.
Second, it's that everyone has read too many cool novels that pretend to be slapped in the face over the years, and there are too many plots like this where the protagonist has a mocking physique and is ridiculed by various villains at every turn, and even the ones he wrote are all these episodes, and in the end, he writes disgusting people and looks disgusting. Naturally, there is no interest in practicing in reality, and the students are very simple to pack their things, and it is more meaningful to go home and lie in bed quickly.
Originally, it was supposed to be summer vacation after the college entrance examination, but there is no such good thing in this world at all. According to the teacher's final arrangement in class, everyone has to go back to class tomorrow, and then complete tomorrow's update in the class, and update the code words under the supervision of the teacher.
This was the case for the next two months, until during which someone got a contract to become a contracted writer, and then they could go straight to the Academy of Letters, apply for the major liberal arts schools around the world, and become a college student.
Either it is a complete end of student life after two months, and then if you want to, you can stay at home and work hard to chase that glimmer of hope. The premise is that you have to contribute enough for you to splurge.
Or maybe it's more realistic to find a job and become the underlying cornerstone of this world.
Of course, you can also understand it as the underlying consumables. After all, in this world, only by relying on the strength of the contracted author can he live, and his ordinary people can only tremble.
Liu Xu shook his head, after being criticized by the teacher, he didn't have much hope for his future, he still went home to look for a job on the Internet, and prepared for the cornerstone life in the future.
However, Liu Xu soon discovered another problem, that is, he did not know where his home was. After all, today is the first day of crossing, and the memory of the original owner is completely gone, so it is quite difficult to find out where your home is.
In desperation, Liu Xu could only fiddle with his mobile phone, and finally found the address marked as home in a navigation software, and at the same time clicked the navigation button, and began to find his home with the help of mobile phone navigation.
And through this opportunity to walk, Liu Xu also began to understand the world with the naked eye.
At first glance, this world is really almost no different from the original earth, the characters are all Chinese characters, the architectural styles are all high-rise buildings, the clothing is basically normal, the streets are also rushing cars, and even the traffic lights are perfectly reproduced.
But there are also places that are completely different from the earth, such as all the residential communities you see on the road, all of them are built like cities, and the walls of each community are more than five meters high, all of which are reinforced concrete structures, and the thickness is more than three meters, and cars can drive directly on the walls.
At the same time, Liu Xu also found that from time to time there are people in the sky who fly directly in the flesh, and if you look up at the sky, you can even see a huge artificial building suspended in the sky, with more than a dozen pipes connected, transporting various materials up and down.
There are also a large number of flying machines, constantly coming in and out of this giant island in the sky, and these scenes tell Liu Xu all the time that he is really in another world.
Just as Liu Xu was pondering what was going on in this world, a burst of roaring suddenly sounded in the sky, and Liu Xu turned his head to see hundreds of planes pouring out of Sky Island like dense bees, flying in the direction of the city.
At the same time, in the residential buildings on both sides of the street, there are many figures jumping out directly.
When Liu Xu thought that these guys were going to fall to death, it turned out that these people all crossed a beautiful curve in the sky, and flew directly in the same direction in the way of physical flight.
And whether it is a plane or a person, they are going in the same direction.
"Has there been a reflection of time and space in the direction of Xicheng again? It is the main grain producing area of our city, and if it is attacked, I am afraid that the contribution of food will skyrocket again, and this is the third time this month! ”
"Yes, it seems that the situation is going to get worse, I hope the number of those signed authors is enough, otherwise once we can't suppress it, we can't be the next Jingqing City!" Liu Xu heard the conversation between two passers-by on the side of the road, and he didn't know what was happening, so he could only rush to his home one by one.
Fortunately, the direction in which the problem occurred, not the direction of his own home, Liu Xu successfully returned to this completely unfamiliar home.
This is an unusually small home, less than 10 square meters in total, but Liu Xu is enough to live alone, and it is even a little spacious.
At the same time, Liu Xu found that the living density of the entire community is unusually dense, and the building where he is located, that is, an ordinary residential building on the earth, is no different, but the first floor is stuffed with nearly 20 households, and it is estimated that each family is only about 10 square meters in area.
At the same time, this building, like the residential buildings I have seen before, all have terrifying defense capabilities, the outer walls of the buildings are all reinforced concrete mechanisms several meters thick, and the only gate on the ground that provides a way out is still a super gate similar to a bank vault, which cannot be penetrated by missiles.
At the same time, this gate can only be unlocked and opened with fingerprints, and it is only a small door on the side of the gate that is opened, only one person is allowed to enter and exit at a time, Liu Xu does not have to worry about entering the wrong door at all.
The whole city gave Liu Xu the feeling that this was the front line of the war, and a missile might bombard the building at any time.
So after returning home, Liu Xu didn't care about anything, and started to surf the Internet as soon as possible, frantically searching for information, and gradually understood the world.
It turns out that this is an unfortunate world where space disasters may break out anytime and anywhere.
Space-time reflection, in the study of this world, is a part of another different world, which will suddenly collide with this world, and then the two parts that collide with each other will appear reflective.
That is, part of the combat power of another world will be reflected and projected into this world.
Generally speaking, the projected units are some units with extremely strong combat effectiveness, and ordinary humans are not opponents at all.
What's even more terrifying is that because these units are created by the power of the world, they themselves are not afraid of physical attacks, which means that technological inventions such as guns and missiles have no effect on them.
The only thing that can destroy the power of the world is the power of the world, that is, the extraordinary power given by the world to mortals.
In this world, this extraordinary power is also called the "power of reading literature"
————————
"Reading a novel can actually produce the power of reading, and then this power of reading can automatically enter the body of the author of the novel, so that the author can use these powers to fight, this is the world of starting ecstasy?" After a detailed search, Liu Xu could only complain helplessly.
This world seems to be packed into a sugar jar with countless other worlds, so that it has to collide with hundreds or thousands of different worlds every day, and then there is a huge disaster brought about by the reflection of time and space, which requires the contracted authors to use the power of reading to quell it.
As a result, the survival of the whole world and all human beings depends on the existence of the contracted authors, and these authors themselves have extremely powerful power, so the whole world is undoubtedly controlled by those powerful contracted authors, and the president of the world government is actually just the steward of the authors.
However, because there is always a battle with the reflection of time and space, and every day human beings are facing the danger of extinction, so there has not been much internal chaos in this world, but a large number of human beings live in large base cities, and then the local writers' association is responsible for leading and commanding, and at the same time, there is also a world writers' association to coordinate each city, and at the same time, all social resources will naturally be invested in the signed authors.
If a person cannot become a contracted author, then he can only work in a peasant, a worker, an ordinary soldier, and so on without a future, and there is no chance to change his fate in his life, unless you can write a novel worthy of signing a contract.
However, this kind of thing can only be determined.
Only if a novel is really well written, and has aroused the interest and recognition of more than 1,000 readers, can it be automatically generated by the world consciousness, and then become the contracted author.
It doesn't sound difficult to arouse the interest and approval of 1,000 readers, but the problem is that for hundreds of years, all human beings have been forced to read a large number of novels every day, which has led to everyone being an old reader who is used to reading a variety of novel genres, and it is really difficult for a novel written by a newcomer to arouse the interest of these old readers.
And if a reader is not really interested in this book, he will not be able to activate the contract, thus giving birth to the power of reading literature.
Some people say that it is several times more difficult to produce signed authors now, because the more books readers read, the harder it is to sincerely endorse some bloody junk novels.
It is said that 100 years ago, the number of signed authors worldwide was as high as tens of millions. But now, there are less than 4 million.
All in all, the difficulty of becoming a contracted author now is about the same as the difficulty of 985 in the previous life, which is one in a thousand.
The only chance for most people is to take the literary examination, if a novel that has been brewing for 10 years, under the opportunity to directly push 10,000 readers to read the literary examination, can not help an author to sign a successful contract, then there is almost no chance of signing a contract in this life.
In fact, 80% of the world's contracted authors successfully signed contracts during the literary examination, and the remaining 20% are not completely insistent, but a variety of opportunistic methods.
But these ways are unsurprising, they require a lot of resources to promote, and it is absolutely impossible for a poor person like Liu Xu to do so.
As for the novel written by Liu Xu during the literary examination...... A historical novel that has no historical basis, Liu Xu himself feels that his future is worrying.
In particular, Liu Xu also found that because the first and most unprecedented reflection event occurred three hundred years ago, it is said that four-fifths of the land is within the scope of reflection, and the powerful power of the world fluctuates, and even completely tamper with the memory and history of mankind.
For example, human beings at this time only have historical records of modern society in the last 300 years, and as for what the human society was like 300 years ago, it is completely unknown!
In other words, the human beings in this world only have modern society, but they have no specific cognition of the feudal era at all, as if the human beings in this world actually don't know what the emperor is.
