Chapter 127 Slaying Gods and Slaying Dragons? Three Draws in a Row
Zhang Yao was quite surprised to receive the manuscript of "Jieyou Grocery Store" from Zhou You.
Zhang Yao: "Boss, aren't you recording a show? Why have you written a new book?"
Zhou You: "I took the time to write it."
Zhang Yao's mouth twitched... What kind of monster is my boss? During the recording process of "Traveler", I walked around and had fun. I recorded the show, wrote the songs, and completed the new novel... Is he a master of time management?
So many things can be done at the same time.
And everything is done so beautifully.
I thought the boss’s new book would not be released so quickly.
When Zhang Yao got the manuscript of "Jieyou Grocery Store", he didn't submit it immediately, but read it himself.
He is also a big fan of Night Travel God.
Being the second boss has many benefits, such as I can get a taste of the books and scripts written by my boss first.
"Jieyou Grocery Store?" Zhang Yao frowned slightly when he saw the title. "Is it also a mystery novel? But the title doesn't look like it."
Driven by curiosity, he immediately opened the manuscript file.
Then I plunged in accidentally.
It wasn't until two o'clock in the morning that I finished reading the book and felt sad.
"It's so well written." He couldn't help but sigh.
Although it was already two o'clock in the morning, he was not sleepy at all at this moment.
Especially when he saw the second chapter "The Sound of Harmonica in the Night", Zhang Yaopo had a feeling.
Katsuro, whose family owns a fish shop, has a fish shop that he can inherit, but he refuses to "inherit the family business" and instead pursues his musical ideal.
He wrote to Naniya Jiyou Grocery Store, but he did not expect that the reply he received mocked him mercilessly: Wake up, brother, the trouble you shared is too extravagant. If you don’t inherit the family business, why are you talking about it here? Talking specifically about pursuing musical ideals, are you okay with your brain?
Katsuro felt bad when he saw this reply.
The character Katsuro reminds Zhang Yao of himself... He is the "unable to grasp" guy who has a mine at home and can inherit the family business, but has to go out and struggle.
Suddenly I remembered that when I first met Zhou You, Zhou You said to him: If I care for you, I will go back and inherit the family business in peace.
Thinking of this,
Zhang Yao's scalp suddenly became numb.
Oh my god... The boss couldn't be a character based on me, right? Probably! Creation comes from life... I accidentally became my boss's writing material.
But I was written into the novel.
A strange feeling arose in Zhang Yao's heart.
I seem to like this book more.
Zhang Yao fell asleep at three o'clock in the morning, and got up at eight o'clock the next day. He didn't bother to brush his teeth and wash his face. He first submitted "Jieyou Grocery Store" to Hu Liang, the editor of Daxia Publishing House.
Because of "The Devotion of Suspect X", editor Hu Liang was very successful recently.
I haven't been able to get promoted after working in the industry for many years.
After "The Devotion of Suspect X" became a hit, he was immediately promoted to deputy editor.
Although the deputy editor still has to work on the front line to collect manuscripts, and it is the editor-in-chief who helps handle some complicated matters, his salary has increased!
With the qualifications of an associate editor, it will be much easier to change jobs in the future.
However, Daxia Publishing House is already the best publishing house in the country, and Hu Liang has no plans to change jobs.
Just keep doing it here.
He has no merit as a person.
Focus on loyalty.
Hmm... To put it mildly, I just felt too hot lying in my bed and couldn't bear to move.
However, not everything is happy recently, there are also many unhappy things.
In the past, in the group, my colleague Xu Zhi had been competing with Hu Liang for the position of deputy editor. Now because of "The Devotion of Suspect X" after Hu Liang was promoted, Xu Zhi has been dissatisfied with him.
And Xu Zhi also recently had a fight with Hu Liang.
Hu Liang was promoted to deputy editor!
He also has to strive for promotion to associate editor.
Even promoted to editor-in-chief.
In short, he can't be worse than Hu Liang.
To achieve this goal, Xu Zhi must receive better quality manuscripts and beat "The Devotion of Suspect X" in sales.
I don’t know what means Xu Zhi used to poach last year’s Rookie of the Year King “Shen Xiaolong”.
Shen Xiaolong previously worked with another publishing house.
Shen Xiaolong has an unconstrained imagination.
The novels written are novel in subject matter and imaginative.
Always challenging the limits of readers' imagination.
Especially good at writing science fiction novels.
However, this guy's writing style is rather dark, and most of the stories he writes are dark and terrifying, making people think deeply... Some readers call him a depressive writer, or a dark writer.
After Xu Zhi poached it, Shen Xiaolong immediately provided the manuscript of a new book - "Xingyuan".
Imaginative science fiction, integrating elements of mystery and horror that make you think carefully.
It is said to be a long story.
Both the editor-in-chief and the editor-in-chief are very optimistic about this novel.
Promotion and distribution plans are being formulated recently.
This made Xu Zhi feel that he had gained the upper hand. Recently, he was strutting around the office area and speaking loudly, looking very impressive.
"The novel "Star Abyss" may become this year's hit, surpassing "The Devotion of Suspect X""
"I don't know what kind of bad luck he had, but Shen Xiaolong actually agreed to cooperate with him."
"Look at how proud he is! Brother Liang, don't be as knowledgeable as him."
Hu Liang and Xu Zhi looked up and saw each other in the company.
Sometimes when they meet, Xu Zhi will ask: "How are you doing recently? Have you received a blockbuster book manuscript like "The Devotion of Suspect X"?"
Hu Liang: "No."
Xu Zhi: "Hurry up and contact Ye Youshen to write a new book, and let the two newcomers PK." Xu Zhi was quite provocative.
Hu Liang: "Yeyoushen's new book is not that fast."
Xu Zhi: "That's a pity. Shen Xiaolong's new book "Xingyuan" has no rivals this time."
Hu Liang: "..."
This guy is so cool.
But Hu Liang also hopes that Yeyoushen will write a hot new work, then slap Xu Zhi in the face, press Xu Zhi and Shen Xiaolong to the ground and rub them wildly...
But unfortunately, Big Fish Studio said that Ye Youshen’s new book will have to wait for a while.
Also, "The Devotion of Suspect
Writers with higher output also have to wait three or four months.
A slower year or a half is possible.
So there is no need to look forward to the new work of the God of Night in the near future.
There are many authors under me, contact them to make an appointment... maybe you can get a good manuscript. Let Xu Zhi do what he wants, too lazy to pay attention to him.
Hu Liang is not very aggressive and appears very calm when faced with various matters at work.
Hu Liang came to his work station at nine o'clock in the morning.
The editor-in-chief summoned the editors in the same group for a simple morning meeting.
It is said that "Xingyuan" will be released soon, so everyone should cooperate to promote it. In addition, the editor-in-chief urged everyone to learn more from Xu Zhi, draw on experience, and strive for more outstanding authors who cooperate with other publishing houses.
After the meeting, Xu Zhi felt even more elated.
Hu Liang went to the coffee room to pour coffee.
Unfortunately, Xu Zhi was also there.
Xu Zhi: "Deputy Editor Hu hasn't made an appointment for the manuscript yet?"
Hu Liang: "No."
Xu Zhi: "You can't place your hopes on a night wandering god. Don't hang yourself on a tree with a crooked neck. Explore other high-quality writers."
The implication is to learn from me and dig out newcomers like Shen Xiaolong.
Hu Liang said that I don't have the ability like you, and then left with the coffee. Xu Zhi cut behind him, "What kind of cow?" When I get promoted to editor-in-chief, hehe... I feel very happy just thinking about it.
Hu Liang returned to his workstation.
I have a meeting as soon as I arrive at the company today. It's already ten o'clock, so I have to start working quickly.
Take a sip of coffee.
Why is the coffee tasteless today?
He frowned slightly and then turned on his phone and opened his mailbox.
It has become his habit to check his mailbox every morning to see if there are any new manuscripts.
Some editors like to review manuscripts late at night, but Hu Liang likes to check his mailbox in the morning. Because if there are new manuscripts, even high-quality manuscripts, the whole day will be very pleasant.
Click to open the mailbox.
There are a dozen new unread emails.
He took a quick glance at the mail directory.
It was very casual and careless at first, but suddenly, his eyes dilated, and then quickly focused on the third email from top to bottom.
["Jieyou Grocery Store" Night Tour God-Big Fish Studio]
This title instantly attracted all his attention like a magnet.
"Fuck!" He said softly, and then rubbed his eyes to make sure he saw it correctly.
"What's wrong with Brother Liang?" asked the editor next to him.
"Nothing." Hu Liang said casually.
He didn't say that he had received a new book manuscript from Ye Youshen!
Don't alert the enemy until you understand the situation.
He was still calm.
I thought I would have to wait at least two or three months for Ye Youshen's new book... I didn't expect it to be submitted now.
"Jieyou Grocery Store? What's the subject?" Hu Liang immediately clicked to download the attachment and then read the text.
Two hours later,
The look on Hu Liang's face was extremely exciting, "Excellent work! "Xingyuan" has encountered a strong enemy."
The air that was pent up in my stomach seemed to be released instantly.
Xu Zhi, just say it.
Be careful of being hunted by "Jieyou Grocery Store".
The background of this book is again in Thousand Islands.
It seems likely that the Night God is from Thousand Islands.
In the context of great cultural integration, the cultural atmosphere of the Star Federation is very tolerant, and the population movement in various regions is very frequent.
It is nothing new for Thousand Island writers, singers, and actors to come to the vast Xia Kingdom to develop.
Hu Liang did not publicize that Yeyoushen had sent a new work. He just sent a copy of the manuscript to the editor-in-chief.
Then I started to apply for a book number, find someone to proofread, design the book cover, etc.
At the same time, I also contacted Big Fish Studio to discuss the printing and publishing of "Jieyou Grocery Store", at least to reach an agreement on the release time.
Zhang Yao had only one answer for him: to go public as soon as possible.
Hu Liang: "Last year's newcomer Wang Shen Xiaolong's new book "Xingyuan" will be released soon. I'm afraid they will collide, so I'd better adjust the time."
Hu Liang is still a little worried about affecting the sales of Yeyoushen's new book.
He was very optimistic about the manuscript.
But this has nothing to do with whether he thinks it is good or not, but to ensure the interests of Yeyoushen.
Zhang Yao asked Zhou You, and Zhou You's answer was, "Just hit it."
What Zhang Yao conveyed to Hu Liang was: "It doesn't matter."
There seems to be nothing wrong with "just hit it" translated as "it doesn't matter", but to Hu Liang's ears, it means that Yeyoushen doesn't care about Shen Xiaolong at all.
How confident is this?
How domineering this is!
Suddenly, the image of Night Travel God in Hu Liang's heart became taller.
So the release date of Yeyoushen's new book "Jieyou Grocery Store" was soon determined, only two days later than Shen Xiaolong's "Xingyuan".
When "Jieyou Grocery Store" began to apply for a book number and formulate a publicity plan, the news that Ye Youshen's new book was about to be released also spread in the editorial department.
"Damn it!! Has the new book of Night Travel God been written?"
"How long has it been since "The Devotion of Suspect X" was released, and now a new book is coming out? It seems like this is going to challenge the throne of this year's Rookie King."
"The release date almost coincided with Shen Xiaolong's "Xingyuan"!! This is exciting."
"Why don't you adjust the release date of Night Travel God? It would be dangerous if they collide with each other."
"This is obviously for Shen Xiaolong."
"I heard from Brother Liang that he asked Yeyoushen if he should avoid Shen Xiaolong. Yeyoushen said: Shen Xiaolong is a worm."
"How did I hear that the Night Traveler said he wanted to ride a dragon?"
Hu Liang was speechless after hearing these versions.
Why did I clearly say "It doesn't matter, you don't need to avoid Shen Xiaolong" from being passed around to become "It doesn't matter, Shen Xiaolong is just a worm"?
And what's going on with the dragon knight who wants to ride a dragon?
Xu Zhi was very surprised when he learned that Ye Youshen had published a new book. When he heard Shen Xiaolong's remarks that he was a worm, he said bluntly: "This Ye Youshen is too arrogant!"
Shen Xiaolong seemed calm after hearing the news, "Yeyou Shen wants to fight with me in the ring, so let's see how much he weighs. My favorite is the God of Slaughter."
Shen Xiaolong slaying the gods is a joke.
Last year, Shen Xiaolong's debut work directly dominated the list, beating out all the great writers of the same period.
From then on, the words "Slay God" have been deeply ingrained in the genes of Shen Xiaolong and his fans.
When he talks about killing the gods here, he does not mean that Ye Youshen is a "great writer", but he is teasing the word "god" in his pen name "Ye Youshen".
Kill the God!
Just kill the night wandering god.
But he knew nothing about all this while traveling around Kangbu Hot Spring in Uizang.
…
Counting the day we arrived at Kangbu Hot Spring and the day we went to Pali Grassland.
Zhou You and Li Yan have stayed at Kangbu Hot Spring for five days.
Li Yan became addicted after drinking it every day.
That evening, Li Yan and Zhou You came out of the hot spring, their bodies steaming and their faces flushed.
Li Yan always complains about back pain.
It just so happened that today Li Yan was supposed to take a dip in the Eagle Pond according to the "prescription" of the old miracle doctor.
After taking a dip, they came out of the Eagle Pond and saw a middle-aged uncle named "Old Liu" suddenly throwing away his crutches.
Before, Lao Liu had to rely on crutches to walk.
Now that there is no crutch, although he walks very slowly and not very steadily, he can actually walk on his own without relying on extra tools.
"I can leave!! I can leave by myself!" Lao Liu was so happy that he cried.
"Is it really so magical?" Li Yan exclaimed when he saw this scene.
They have become familiar with Lao Liu these days, and they know Lao Liu's situation very well. After a car accident, the doctor said that if his foot could not bend 90 degrees as soon as possible, his foot would be permanently disabled.
He's only been there for a week.
Just throw away the crutch!
Before Zhou You thought that those who had recovered were just rumors, but now that he saw it with his own eyes, he was shocked.
"Do you feel it?" Zhou You asked Li Yan.
"Recently, my waist doesn't seem to hurt much anymore, and I sleep more soundly than before." Li Yan said.
"How about we stay a little longer?" Zhou said.
"Let's set off." Li Yan said, "If I stay any longer, I will be completely reluctant to leave."
So Zhou You and Li Yan said goodbye to Lin Hao and Tao Yiran the next day.
Tao Yiran's physical condition has been improving after taking a bath in the hot spring, so she and Lin Hao planned to complete a course of treatment here.
A course of treatment lasts for twenty-one days.
Waving goodbye, the red mustang drove to their next stop, Chentang Town!
Chentang is located in the virgin forest area on the southeast side of Mount Everest.
When we get here, we are not far from Mount Everest.
It takes nearly seven hours to drive from Kangbu Hot Spring to Chentang.
During these seven hours, Li Yan still talked a lot and had a great time chatting with Uncle Duoji. Uncle Duoji ignored him, and he started singing along with the car music.
Zhou You closed his eyes and rested in the right back seat.
Consciousness sinks into the system.
He hasn't had a draw in the last three days.
In fact, in the past three days, I have been soaking in hot springs, walking, and playing chess every day, and I have not earned more than 10 living points every day.
So I stocked up on my travels to let myself experience the joy of continuous draws.
At present, he has accumulated 31 life points.
Three straight draws.
[Congratulations on getting the mysterious gift package fragment*1]
[Congratulations on receiving a million-level luxury recording studio equipment gift package]
[Congratulations on winning the song "Meet"]
[Experience the fun of three consecutive draws, life points +1]
Good luck today!
Moreover, three consecutive draws actually added life points.
I've done it three times in a row before, but it didn't add life points... Could it be that I wasn't excited enough that time?
Now there are four mysterious gift bag fragments in Zhouyou.
If you draw another one, you can exchange it for a mysterious gift package.
"Meeting" by an unpopular singer, this song is very popular... Recently, I keep meeting each other during my travels, so did you create this song?
What Zhou You is most interested in is the "million-level luxury recording studio equipment gift package". When you click on the gift package, the items in the gift package are immediately displayed in front of you.
There are speakers, power amplifiers, recording MICs, and recording equipment inside.
The speakers are Tannoy Royal Westminster Royal GR.
The amplifier is a McIntosh.
The recording MICs are two MG um900s and two Newman 149s.
The recording equipment is SSL Duality Delta Pro Station+Protools.
This set of equipment is indeed a million-dollar luxury item.
I just need a private recording studio when traveling.
With this set of equipment, he can record songs by himself in the future. Well, he can also use it to listen to songs... But he is still more envious of Chen Luo's million-level luxurious audio equipment.
After I went back and bought a house, Zhou You also planned to buy a set of audio equipment like that.
When you have nothing to do, listen to music immersed in it.
It’s simply not too fun.
While Zhou You and the others were rushing to Chentang Town, the trailer for the third episode of "Traveler" was released.
In the third episode, Zhou You and Li Yan attended Tashi Tuden's wedding.
Zhou You also sang "Write the Story to Us".
Currently all the versions circulating on the Internet are incomplete.
The audience and fans are waiting to hear the full version of this program.
It turns out that princes are also capable of causing trouble.
In the released pilot film, there are only two scenes and one lyric about Zhou You singing "Write the Story About Us"!
The audience exploded instantly.
"It's less complete than an incomplete version."
"It whets your appetite."
"Director Dog!! I'm going to kill this Director Dog!"
"Hurry up! Release the full movie and full version of the song!! (emoticon with bloody knife)"
The audience was tickled by the prince's excitement.
By accident, Zhou You and half of his songs became popular on Weibo again.
