I read (no pop-up full text)
"How much longer until Brother Dumb can have a big meal?" Su Xichen looked towards the kitchen, originally thinking that Ji Wen's figure should be very slow and clumsy, but unexpectedly, Ji Wen was very agile in the kitchen.
Is Jiwen also like Abao? Can he also show unparalleled potential in eating?
"Don't be impatient later on, being hasty won't allow you to enjoy hot tofu."
"Ah", Su let out a comfortable sigh as she lay stably on the sofa, using her phone to buy the e-book version of "Thousand Years" by Shao Ge and started reading.
"Thousand Years" is not long, more than 50,000 words, and "Thousand Years" was nominated for Best Novelette by the Xingyun Award.
Ji Wen had previously said that he only wrote two books, to be precise, he only wrote two long novels, and many short and medium-length works.
Generally speaking, there are two ways to read. Su Shi divided them into "martial reading" and "literary reading". Most people who browse the internet use a "martial reading" approach, scanning quickly through lines of text, only looking at dialogue and omitting everything else. They can read tens or even hundreds of thousands of characters in one day. This fast food culture naturally requires a fast food way of reading.
Another way of reading is to savor each word, usually used when reading physical books. However, "Thousand Years" has only that many words, so even if Su Ruo Chen reads it in a savoring manner, she would finish it in no time.
After finishing reading, Su Shichen had a lingering feeling. In his previous life, he had read a lot in the three years of charging, and his eyes were already very sharp. It was not easy for a medium-length novel to make him feel this way.
"Shage's level is very high, no wonder he can achieve such success, it's really impressive." The cultural development of this world is not inferior to that of the Earth at all. This world has also produced many classic works. If the person who competed with him in science fiction was Jiwen instead of Yuju, then Su Xichen really had no chance.
"Here it comes, try it quickly. I guarantee that after you taste it, you'll think the half hour wait was worth it." Ji Wenden came out and said "Beer fish, my beer fish is different from those in hotels, guaranteed authentic."
A big pot of fish just looking at it is appetizing, can't wait to pick up a pair of chopsticks, this feeling is simply delicious!
"Awesome!" Su Xichen gave a thumbs up.
"Haha, of course it is. Do you think I got this body by chance?" Ji Wen shook his body, and the pile of fat on him was indeed rolling like waves.
"Just saw Shage's work 'Thousand Years' and it was wonderful."
"That sounds great, I've been looking forward to your new work, Release. I heard the name of the new book is 'The Matrix', is it a story about hackers saving the world?" asked Ji Wendao.
"Hackers save the world?" Su Xichen thought carefully and it seemed that what Ji Wen said was true.
"By the way, silly brother, your 'Thousand Years' has been nominated for the American Star Cloud Award. How are sales in America?" Ji Wen asked with a big mouthful of food.
"To be honest, the US boasts of freedom, but discrimination is very heavy. Many top domestic authors' books sell even less than some newcomers in the US. My two science fiction novels have been sold in the US, but their combined sales are only 100,000 copies. After all, there are limitations in thinking. Many works that our domestic authors think are excellent are not considered classics by foreigners. It's a cultural difference. There are also many best-selling books in the US that have failed in China."
Ji Wen suddenly said, "Speaking of which, Shixian, your two books 'Sherlock Holmes' and 'Murder on the Orient Express' are very suitable for publication in the United States. I've read them many times, but each time I come to the same conclusion - this is completely a foreigner's writing style. Recently, I've been studying how you managed to write with such a Westernized tone, especially since you mentioned in an interview that you've never been abroad." Conquering the United States with American books is naturally an easy task.
"I heard there's been some big commotion at the News Agency recently!"
"What's all the commotion?"
"I also learned about it when I was chatting with the chairman, and he casually mentioned it. I'm not sure exactly when, but I heard it's going to be a big change in the entire cultural circle."
Change the entire cultural circle? That's absolutely a big deal, but what exactly is it?
As they chatted, the two of them started discussing Ji Wen's new book idea. Su Xichen had countless brilliant ideas in his mind, and Ji Wen also had wonderful thoughts, so the two of them launched into a brainstorming-like discussion.
People with common interests, or those who can talk a lot, are more likely to become friends. They chatted until noon the next day, and Su Xichen even got another free meal. After that, Ji Wen drove Su Xichen home, of course, they were stuck in traffic for a long time again. It wasn't until after 3 pm that they returned to Yangcheng. The first thing he did when he got home was open his computer.
He Long and Lu Xiaofeng's manuscripts have been used up, so now it's just write and publish immediately.
"As soon as you came back, you went online. I left a bowl of chicken soup for you." Old mom Wei Xin handed a bowl of chicken soup to Su Shicun.
"Thanks, old mom!" Clang clang clang, fingers flew across the keyboard with full force, typing away. It's been three days since the last update, and Long Snake is still going strong because of its exciting plot, but Lu Xiao Feng has been criticized for being too slow. So Su Ruo Chen decided to post three chapters at once, a total of 10,000 words, to make up for the delay. The next part of Long Snake will have to wait, and first priority is to catch up on Lu Xiao Feng.
This time, Su Xianchen's speed can be said to be the craziest in history. Long She and Lu Xiaofeng finished more than 20,000 words of Su Xianchen in just three hours, but this one sitting was really tiring for three hours, but it was finally completed.
After logging in to the author's background, Su Xianchen thought for a moment that letting readers feel at ease should be explained at the end of the chapter, so he added this paragraph to Long She Yan Yi:
Sorry, I've been busy with work for the past two days, as you all know I'm not a full-time worker, so it's inevitable that I'll be delayed, so please forgive me! Also, men shouldn't be eunuchs.
Release...
Finally settled, got up and went into the kitchen "Mom's chicken soup is really delicious, is there any left?"
She opened the pressure cooker and found it was full of chicken soup, obviously left for him by his mother Wei Xin, who had specially cooked it for him in case he didn't eat well outside.
The bowl was a bit small, even if it was full, it couldn't hold much. After finishing drinking, I had to run back to the kitchen, so Su Rui Chen rummaged through the cabinet and found a large bowl, then filled it to the brim, one bowl piled on top of three bowls.
Back in the room, Su Rui Chen made a call to Wang Ni. Before he even opened his mouth, Wang Ni had already guessed what Su Rui Chen was going to say: "The Matrix has been perfected, and Zhang Chen's colored illustrations are done too. The new book launch conference is scheduled for next Wednesday, and it's expected to go on sale on Thursday. Speaking of which, Little Chen, you've already published several books, but this is still your first new book launch conference."
In fact, on the internet, he had already participated in two new book launches under the identity of Tian En, the first time was Dou Po and the second time was just recently Lu Xiao Feng, but this is actually his first time in real life.
The first book "Journey to the West" was released at a press conference when Su Xingchen first came out of his thatched cottage, the second book "Sherlock Holmes Detective Collection" was released when Shang Shi Culture Communication Co., Ltd. was newly established and had no resources to hold a new book launch, and the third book "Huang Yu Series" was directly advertised on CCTV without holding a new book launch.
As for books like "First Intimate Contact" and "Xian Jian", it's even more unnecessary to mention, not wanting to expose Tian En's identity, how could he possibly use a new book release conference, so Su Xichen still has some expectation for this first time, today is Friday, which means there are still five days left.
"Uh-huh, Auntie's arrangements have always made me feel at ease. Oh, I just thought of an idea." Su Xichen had another great idea and told it to Wang Ni in its entirety.
"This idea can save at least one million yuan in advertising costs, and I'll prepare it later." Indeed, Wang Ni thought this idea was more creative than having a hundred celebrities jointly promote the book, or even making promotional trailers.
"What did you gain from going to the concert this time, Xiao Chen?"
"There wasn't much gain, it was just like being a laborer giving lectures, but I did get to know a friend and we had a good chat."
"If possible, invite him to make an appearance, which would also be beneficial for promoting the new book."
"Alright, no problem!"
Wang Ni made a nasal sound "Hmm" and said, "That's it, 1 million copies of 'The Matrix' have already been printed. To implement Xiao Chen's plan, more effort is needed."
After hanging up the phone, Su Rui Chen immediately called Ji Wen, and Ji Wen agreed without saying a word.
Su Shilei thought to himself, he had updated Lu Xiao Feng and even did a triple update at once, shouldn't the criticism of being too slow be self-evidently refuted? He opened up the book reviews for Lu Xiao Feng's Legend and only then did Su Shilei realize just how naive he was. He was wrong, and what's more, he was wrong to an astonishing degree. Xiaoxuehua's comment once again caught his eye...
"In fact, Tiandaye, you didn't need to rush to prove yourself. I recently posted an article on the internet about Lu Xiaofeng's wife being a eunuch, and today Tiandaye unusually updated three chapters. This is Tiandaye trying to prove himself, but it also further proves my previous statement."
I didn't previously use the fact that Luk Siu Fung updates less than Lung Sheung to determine that Luk Siu Fung is a prisoner, because this requires meticulous care and one chapter per day is also normal. Three updates are just a sign of nervousness, like drinking to boost courage.
And in these three chapters, Ye Gu Cheng and Xi Men Xue Xue were brought out. I won't mention Xi Men Xue Xue, the icy male god. As for Ye Gu Cheng, he was only mentioned by name in the first volume, but in the second volume, Lu Xiao Feng almost died under his sword, making him a very formidable character. However, I think this character overlaps with Xi Men Xue Xue to some extent. Seeing the third volume start with three chapters using the duel between Xi Men Xue Xue and Ye Gu Cheng as a gimmick already shows that Tian Da has run out of ideas, and the showdown between these two great swordsmen is a sign that the story is about to conclude!
It's not even over 200,000 words and it's already a terrible ending. Moreover, there is another more direct evidence, just now Tian Da's PS only stayed behind Long She, but not behind Lu Xiao Feng, which also proves that Tian Da has intentionally made a bad ending!!
"Damn it!" Su Xianchen couldn't help but curse, this ID called Xiao Xuehua was really good at distorting things. He had updated three chapters at once just to make up for the previous two days' updates, but somehow in her mouth it became a sign of guilt.
There is also the duel between Ximen Blowsnow and Ye Gucheng at the peak of the Imperial Palace. Someone once evaluated that there are five most classic duels in Wuxia, one of which has the greatest impact - Jin Yong's Huashan Lunjian, the most exaggerated being Chuan Ying and Meng Zhi Xing's battle on Long Street, but Su Shi believes that the most classic is the duel between Ximen Blowsnow and Ye Gucheng in the third volume. How can it be said that Jiang Lang's talent has been exhausted and become rotten?
The third volume "The Eve of the Duel" will be even more exciting than the first two volumes, and those who are expecting a disappointing ending like Jiang Lang's exhaustion of talent may be let down...(Please search for 5du5 for better and faster updates!)
