The two from Oxford and Cambridge left,

The room was silent, except for the two cups of uncooled black tea on the table, indicating that they had been there.

Lu Shi sat there, holding his cheek with one hand and contemplating.

After a while, he took out a pen and paper and slowly wrote down a few titles:

A Song of Ice and Fire,

Harry Potter

The Hobbit,

"The Lord of the Rings",

……

These books are undoubtedly popular and popular.

First of all, "A Song of Ice and Fire",

Just look at the popularity of its TV series Game of Thrones on social media.

Secondly, Harry Potter,

This is one of the best-selling and most valuable IPs in the world, and in some contexts, even the "one" can be removed.

As for "The Hobbit" and "The Lord of the Rings", not to mention, an absolute fantasy epic, the crowning work in the entire fantasy genre,

By sacrificing these two books, you can be invincible.

Lu Shi stared at the names,

No one dared to disturb him.

After two minutes like this, Natsume Soseki cleared his throat, stepped forward, and said in a low voice: "Lu, your "Roger Mystery Case" has obviously been completed, why did you abandon your martial arts...... Alas...... It's really unnecessary. ”

Lu Shiyi,

He knew that Natsume Soseki felt that he was good at writing detective novels, and he should use his own strengths and attack the enemy's shortcomings.

Isn't gambling on fantasy novels asking for hardship?

But Lu Shi also has his own ideas.

He said, "Natsume, what do you think of that copy of Roger's Mystery?" ”

Natsume Soseki did not hesitate,

"A pioneering work! I can conclude right now that "The Mystery of Roger" will definitely go down in history and be repeatedly studied, paid tribute to, and borrowed by later generations of suspense mystery fiction writers, and they will all become Lu's disciples. ”

Lu Shi chuckled,

"Hereafter...... Well, the afterlife. ”

Natsume Soseki is not bad at all, "The Mystery of Roger" is indeed worshiped as a god by mystery fiction writers.

Especially the birthplace of the new Benge -

Japan.

There, narrative trickery was written in an unprecedented way.

But that's all for later.

At the beginning of the birth of "The Mystery of Roger", there were many doubts,

Because mystery novels with narrative trickery as the core have their congenital shortcomings,

Since the focus of the trick is not on the reasoning of the case, it is often easy to lay out the narrative in the text, and it is a little dull to read, making the reader abandon the book before the end.

So, is this kind of reasoning suitable for serialization in newspapers?

The matter itself is a question mark.

Lu Shi's solution is to imitate Keigo Higashino's "Who Killed Her", while serializing, while mobilizing readers to actively participate, using questionnaires to let everyone guess who the murderer is and what the trick is, which can increase reader stickiness.

But looking at it now, it doesn't seem necessary.

Lu Shi had already thought that "Roger's Mystery Case" would no longer be published in the form of serialization, but would be published directly in its entirety.

He said: "The Scotsman's serialization, I want to republish a fantasy novel. ”

Hearing Lu Shi say this, Natsume Soseki was a little regretful,

But he knew Lu Shi's character, and since he had already made a decision, it was not easy for anyone to persuade him.

Natsume Soseki pushes the boat down the river,

"Well, that's fine."

Lu Shi smiled and asked, "Why did you suddenly change your tone?" ”

Natsume Soseki scratched his head,

"You talked about the common problems of suspense novels before, and the same is true for "Roger's Mystery", which can't avoid some unreasonable places."

It's inevitable,

It's hard for any mystery novel to be seamless.

But Lu Shi was curious about what Natsume Soseki felt was unreasonable, and said, "Tell me about it." ”

Natsume Soseki was embarrassed, and even wanted to slap himself in the mouth,

He thinks that "Roger's Mystery Case" is a great work, and there may be small mistakes and omissions, but the flaws are not hidden, and it is really not something that can be criticized.

But that's it, I have to talk about it.

Natsume Soseki stubbornly said: "At the beginning of the novel, Detective Polo said that it was Master Roger who invited him to retire and live in the village, that is to say, Roger had a friendship with Polo, and the friendship was not shallow, is that so?" ”

Lu Shi nodded,

"Well, it makes sense."

Natsume Soseki continued: "In that case, when Roger encounters the problem of blackmail, why don't you go to the great detective for help, but instead go to a doctor?" ”

Lu Shi laughed,

"If Roger had turned to Polo for help as soon as he came up, he would have done everything a long time ago, and he wouldn't have died. How else can I write this story? However, it is not inexplicable. After all, the British hide only one thing, and that is love. ”

Natsume Soseki didn't understand.

On the contrary, Phyllis next to him couldn't help but sneer, like a silver bell, crisp.

Lu Shi then remembered that there were still Dale's father and daughter in the house.

He said apologetically, "Mr. Dale, Miss Phyllis, I didn't expect this to happen today, and it makes you laugh." ”

Dale shook his head,

He is calm on the surface, but in his heart is turbulent,

Being contested by Oxford and Cambridge at the same time, how high is Lu Shi?

Don't dare to think about it......

He glanced at Phyllis beside him.

Phyllis couldn't help but "Huh? "With a bang,

"Do you really want that?"

Lu Shi was surprised,

"Which one?"

As a result, Phyllis glared at him and said, "Don't talk yet." ”

After saying that, he turned to Dell,

"Father ~ Father~~~~~~"

The tail note is long and coquettish.

Dale's heart softened, and he was almost "charmed" by Phyllis,

But he quickly came to his senses and said, "Phyllis, haven't you always wanted to make progress in acting?" Professor Lu is here, why don't you go soon? ”

Phyllis looked down and unconsciously played with his fingers,

"But ......"

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Dale: "There is nothing good about 'but'. As you can see, in order to win over Professor Luk, Sir Cavendish and Vice Chancellor West even lost their gentlemanly demeanor, which shows Professor Luk's ability. ”

Lu Shi looked confused, and couldn't figure out what the father and daughter were talking about.

He said, "That'...... What the hell is this ......?"

Before the words fell, I saw Phyllis bite her lip and suddenly take a step forward,

Followed by

Plop –

The little girl actually knelt down in front of Lu Shi!

Land Hours: ???

He was stunned for half a second before he reacted, and quickly turned to one side, avoiding the front of Phyllis.

Phyllis said, "Professor Lu, please guide my performance. ”

Lu Shi was stunned,

"What are you doing? Kneel for me if you don't agree with a word, who did you learn this from!? ”

As he spoke, his gaze swept towards Natsume Soseki.

Natsume Soseki hurriedly waved his hand again and again, and explained in order to clear his suspicion: "Lu, don't wronged me, I will only kneel when 'sensational your private Marseille'." Besides, Miss Phyllis kneels unstandardly. ”

Lu Shi said: "Do you still want people to kneel to a standard? ”

Natsume Soseki smiled and looked out the window,

"It's a nice day."

Lu Shi was powerless to complain.

He turned to Dale,

"Mr. Dale, what is this for?"

Dale replied, "I've heard that the apprenticeship in China is like this. ”

Lu Shi hurriedly waved his hand,

"No, no, no. Chinese apprentices only need to restrain the six rituals, so there is no need to kneel and bow. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Natsume Soseki on the side said curiously: "Isn't the Six Rites of Binding Bow a gift given by a child when he is enlightened?" Yes...... No, it should be said that Confucianism only talks about the six rites of bondage, and the apprentice is to kneel and worship tea. ”

Lu Shi glared at Natsume Soseki fiercely,

"Natsume, if you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute!"

"Ahem! cough cough cough ......"

Natsume Soseki coughed violently, looked out of the window again, and muttered, "It's winter in London, and today's wind is very noisy." ”
