Chapter 36: There won't be any local dogs who like to watch this, right?
February 17th, the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.
At the Futukang factory in Yanjiao, workers who have returned gradually have started to go to work.
"The shift has been handed over! The shift has been handed over!"
The deputy director of the factory shouted loudly.
In the crowded factory, employees who are off duty alternate with those who are on duty.
People here come and go, but the factory's machines keep rumbling, spinning rapidly like a big juicer, driving the 'money printing machine' in the boss's villa to spit out banknotes called 'profits' one after another.
"Huh~"
Liu Ping'an wiped his sweat, took his cup from the assembly line, and drank the last sip of cold water.
He moved his sore arms and walked out of the factory.
I took a deep breath of the air outside and saw the sun that was already halfway down.
"It's your own time again..."
Liu Pingan took his rice bowl and walked on the way to the canteen to get food.
I swiped my phone and opened the Qidian Reading app...
He is 18 years old and comes from a poor small county.
Because of poor academic performance and poor family conditions, I went out to work after high school.
Futukang's salary is good. He works about 12 hours a day including overtime, and he earns 5,000 yuan a month.
After studying for 12 hours, the rest of the time is yours.
Liu Ping'an usually talks less and is shy. Staying in this factory is boring and there are no entertainment activities.
Of course, there is a table tennis table and some fitness equipment in the factory, but almost no one cares about it.
After tightening screws for 12 hours a day, who still has the energy to exercise?
Most people lie down in their dormitory after get off work, check their phones and go to sleep, preparing for the heavy work the next day.
Liu Pingan is different, he likes to read online novels.
Because...only at this time can he have the opportunity to imagine a wonderful life.
In the world of the novel, he wields his sword, punishes evil and promotes good, spends money like water, has many wives and concubines, and is admired by thousands of people.
After finishing the meal, I sat on the blue bench in the cafeteria, swiping the screen of my mobile phone and scrolling through Qidian's library.
The book he was chasing recently has finished and he needs to find a new book to read.
I habitually scrolled to my favorite city column and saw the first book in the 'Editor's Recommended' column called "The Rogue Miracle Doctor".
"Huh?"
This name immediately caught Liu Pingan's eyes.
He grew up in the countryside and has never been far away except the village and the county town.
Futukang in Yanjiao was the furthest home he had ever visited.
In the urban novels he usually read, every new term made him very curious.
Script killing, escape room, cosplay... He could only look at the pictures on the Internet and imagine the contents.
But he always felt that there was a thick barrier between himself and the metropolis.
He comes from the country...
As for Qidian, there are very few novels about rural areas. The worst place for the protagonist to stay is in a small county town, and he will soon break out of this circle and go to a more prosperous metropolis to show his talents.
"Countryside, rogue, miracle doctor...sounds very interesting."
These few words instantly awakened Liu Ping'an's memories of the village.
He remembered the few lowlifes in the village who drank some alcohol every day and talked dirty in the street, Brother Shu who always smoked at the entrance of the village, and the miracle doctor who sold plasters that specialized in treating bruises...

[Introduction: "If you want to cure a disease, look at your appearance first!" Liu Ergou is a barefoot doctor in Taohua Village...]
With eyes brightened, continue reading.
[Chapter 1: The disease cannot be cured, so do me a favor]
【......】
"Hey~ Is there such a thing?"
[Chapter 2: Get your sister-in-law drunk]
【......】
"Cough cough cough!"
Liu Ping'an coughed a few times and silently carried his body away without looking at his roommates, as if he secretly worked overtime at night to exercise his hand muscles and was afraid that his roommates would find out.
[Chapter 3: Scam]
【......】
"Oh...it turned out to be a scam. I just said there is nothing so cheap in the world."
"But... why did Sister-in-law Zhang Qian's face turn red and her whole body tremble after being slapped? Was she beaten stupid? I don't understand..."
"However, the character he mentioned is like the tree sister-in-law in our village. My mother said that the two of them have been married for several years and have not had any children. It is probably the tree brother who is not good enough. If there is no more children, they will have to divorce sooner or later."
"Sister-in-law Shu is from the county town. She is also pretty, just like Zhang Qian in the book... smooth."
"If Sister Shu asks me for help, then should I..."
Thinking of this, Liu Ping'an blushed and secretly cursed himself for being shameless for imagining someone else's sister-in-law.
But when I think about how some street gangsters in the village often tease Brother Shu, saying that if things don't work out, they can take care of his sister-in-law for him... I don't feel so shy anymore.
He knew that he was not alone in having this idea.
I pressed my gun and continued watching...
...
Before I knew it, I had read more than 90,000 words and caught up with the latest chapters.
"It's so cool!"
The rural life described in the village is where Liu Pingan lived since he was a child. He can even match the characters in the novel with an individual in the village.
The arrogant village chief, the bastard accountant, the canteen old man Uncle Zhang...
Each character is very vivid.
"The author's writing is so good. It looks like he came from our village. It's so real!"
Liu Ping'an, who has never written a review before, suddenly plans to write a review. It doesn't need to be too complicated. He just hopes that the author can keep it updated, and he will always support this kind of review.
Turning to the book review section, Liu Pingan frowned...
[This is Pu Ding’s new book? Where are the famous quotes, poems and songs? They are rustic, so someone else has written them, right?]
[This is the author Qidian boasts of earning hundreds of thousands a month, is this all? 】
[Stupid editor, if you don’t give me a recommendation position, you will give it to this crappy book, right? I’ve seen it through, Qidian’s editor is terrible, this website will be finished sooner or later!]
[Every character written in this book makes me feel sick and has no sense of substitution. Bad review]
[I am Shennong, I am not interested in any book that can poison me]
[It’s so vulgar, no one really likes to read this, right? How do you think a country dog would read this? If you really want to read rural-themed novels, you might as well read "The Ordinary World" and "Green Sorghum"]
[I feel relieved when I see that all the comments in the comment section are criticizing this book]
In short, many readers of Qidian are not satisfied with Pu Ding's new book. They have not seen the refreshing rhythm of "Urban Son-in-law Dragon King", and they have not been able to search for poems and lines that can be posted to Moments to show off.
.
The style has changed so much that I can't accept it at all.
Moreover, the audience for his novice articles in Qidian is not very high. Most of the people who read it first were fans of the previous book. This book did not continue the style of the previous book, and the fans were disappointed.
Coupled with a completely different background and more vulgar words, it almost offended most of the old fans.
The writing in the previous book was simple yet revealed talent, while this one is simple yet revealing rusticity.
For old readers of Qidian, it is the difference between sugar hidden in shit and poison hidden in shit.
There is sugar hidden in the feces, which smells bad and tastes sweet.
There is poison in the feces, it smells bad, and it will kill you if you eat it.
Many readers said they had died of poisoning.
Of course, there are still some readers who support Pu Ding, but...their comments have been deleted.
Liu Ping'an looked at all the negative reviews and hesitated...
"Why am I different from others? If I say I like watching, will I become... a bitch in the eyes of others?"
“Forget it, I won’t comment anymore, I want to watch it, just subscribe when the time comes.”
