Chapter 95: Double Negatives Express Affirmations

On August 5th, the weather was sunny.

Avoid exercise and read books instead.

Physical education teacher Liu Yishou has a sworn brother named She Yiqiang.

The two of them grew up and had a common hobby - reading novels. This hobby lasted for many years.

When they first started reading novels, fairy tales and fantasy novels were very popular.

Both of them are senior VIP users of Qidian.

But now that we are in our forties, we each have our own lives to take care of, and we rarely see each other again. We only occasionally recommend some good books to each other.

Lao Liu was famous for his poor physical condition in school.

Today, as soon as he performed a Thomas pirouette on the parallel bars, the math teacher told him that he was sick today.

I had no choice but to go back to the office and stay there.

"Hey~ students can't do it if they don't exercise...Morality, intelligence, and physical beauty are the foundation of everything. Without a good body, study efficiency will be low. Even if you get rich in the future, you can find a female model as your girlfriend.

There is no blessing to enjoy..."

For example, a well-known screenwriter married a female model who was 20 years younger than him, and the media revealed that he was suspected of having a history of premature ejaculation.

"Hey~ why am I, a physical education teacher, worried about this? The school has achieved results, everyone is well paid and has many benefits..."

"As long as there is such a thing as the admission rate, my physical education teacher's health... will not get better."

When I got to the office, I made myself a cup of chrysanthemum and wolfberry water.

While replenishing, reduce the fire at the same time.

Neutralize it and it's equal to a cup of boiled water.

He skillfully opened the Kaidian Chinese website on his computer. In the simple layout, there was a dazzling array of novels, waiting for his arrival.

In this era dominated by mobile Internet, Lao Liu is one of the few old readers who still insists on using the web version of Qidian Chinese.

Those who still use the web version to read books are at least old readers of more than 5 years.

Lao Liu is even earlier, he has been a hardcore reader for 15 years.

Of course, when there is no computer around, he also uses the mobile version of Qidian to read and use it flexibly.

"The two popular books I have been following recently, "The Scoundrel Doctor in the Countryside" has been completed, and "Staying at Home in the End of the World is the Most Stable" will also be completed soon. There is a book shortage again~~"

The daily bookworm's daily life.

"Let me know what Kangkang has recently written on Kaidian..."

He usually only looks for books on the homepage of Qidian Chinese website, because he doesn’t care about categories when reading books, as long as they are good-looking.

Martial arts, suspense, urban, science fiction, fantasy, immortality, military...

There are no taboos, just watch it if it suits your appetite.

As a hardcore bookworm who has been immersed in it for many years, he knows that most of Qidian’s high-quality books are on the homepage.

This is the facade of Qidian, which will display the best books on the website.

The most promising new books, the best-selling old books, the most popular books among readers, the latest emerging books, new works by well-known authors...

It is expressed through Sanjiang, strong recommendation, big recommendation and various lists.

Among them, the location of the big promotion is in the center of the website!

There are very large pictures and book titles, which are the most conspicuous places on the entire homepage and keep scrolling.

Everyone's eyes can't help but look at it.

Whether you want to see it or not, you can see it.

Very amazing design.

Lao Liu was the first to see a new book released today.

On the picture: a heroic young man, dragging stars in his hand, stands in a world of fairy spirit.

The four large ink characters on it read: Legend of the Stars.

There is also a line of small words next to it: Pu Ding·Zhu.

"What a spirited cover, with a rich inner flavor!"

Lao Liu gave a thumbs up to the artist who made the cover of the big promotion cover. At first glance, it was clear that the work was done with care and not an assembly line product.

"This author's editor must be very concerned about his book. This cover doesn't cost 100 yuan, so it won't be available..."

As an old reader, he has observed Qidian very carefully. The cover images of many popular books have nothing to do with the content. Basically, they are just a few elements fused together and the book title is added.

This one is different, the picture matches the title of the book very well.

"Oh...it's Pu Ding's work! That makes sense. I heard that the copyright of his last book was sold. He must be treated like a great author."

He had just finished Pu Ding's "The Rogue Doctor" last month, and he was somewhat impressed by this author with a unique writing style. From the comment section and chapter reviews, he could tell that this author's books seemed to be selling well in other channels, such as movies and TV series. All copyrights have been sold.

In his impression as a reader, those who can sell copyrights are great gods.

Naturally, he clicked in.

First look at the introduction.

[A waste with no talent for cultivation, an ultimate dog-licking sadomasochism that you can only ask for, a big family that repeatedly jumps between annihilation and revitalization from beginning to end. (PS: This book is a brainless and refreshing article, with the help of Readers with a heavy brain should be careful)]

Lao Liu: "..."

"It's a bit weird, let's look at it again."

Old Liu who watched it three times: ( ̄m ̄)

He showed it to the Chinese teacher next to him who was the best at reading comprehension.

"Teacher Wang, please take a look. The author's last sentence... seems to be scolding the people who read his books for being brainless?"

Teacher Wang is a young woman in her 30s, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, gentle and kind.

Nice guy in the office.

Lao Liu didn't know why, but most of the Chinese teachers in the school had the nicest tempers.

After looking at it for a while, Teacher Wang showed a confident smile.

He poked his gold-rimmed glasses with his tender white fingers.

"Teacher Liu, you only know one thing, but you don't know the other... The last sentence of this author's introduction seems to be belittling himself and the readers, but in fact... it is an overt derogation and a covert praise."

"The first sentence belittles my book as being brainless, and the second sentence belittles the reader's IQ. It seems very uncomfortable, but when they are put together, the meaning changes..."

"Teacher Liu, if you think about it carefully, would any author deliberately disgust readers in his introduction?"

Old Liu thought about his reading history for so many years. Except for some newcomers who are a little bit mentally ill and make nonsense when writing introductions, as long as they are normal authors, they have never deliberately disgusted readers.

Pu Ding is obviously not a newcomer who knows nothing, he is a big boss who sells copyrights!

"I've never seen it... Pu Ding wouldn't do that."

Teacher Wang looked at Lao Liu approvingly, as if he was giving reading comprehension questions to his students.

"Hey~ Starting from this premise, let's analyze what the author Pu Dingliao really means. You should know that there is a sentence pattern in Chinese called... double negative means affirmation, right?"

"Ah, yes, yes!" Lao Liu's eyes lit up, as if he was about to solve the mystery.

"So, he used a simple trick to make a joke to all readers. Most people are only on the first level, looking at mountains and rivers, and will think that he is belittling his own books and mocking readers, but when you go up On the second floor, after seeing that the mountains are not mountains and that the water is not water, everything... suddenly becomes clear!"

"A brainless person can only see the first layer of meaning, and what he wants to express is exactly the opposite. A double negative means a positive, and a negative means a positive. The real meaning of this sentence is: this book is a refreshing article with brains.

Unintelligent readers, beware!”

Lao Liu's eyes widened, his mouth opened wide, and his mind was like a shooting star.

"I see!"

After some instruction from the Chinese teacher, Lao Liu finally understood part of the true meaning of this introduction.

As for the previous three sentences, although he still had some doubts, at this time he did not dare to easily doubt that Pu Ding was the author.

He wants to find the answer in the text and understand it himself!
