Chapter 140 Abominable, cunning (seeking a monthly ticket
"March 3rd"
"Dr. Strauss said that I should start now and write down what I think and remember in my mind and other things that happened. I don't know why he wants me to sit like this..."
Early in the morning on January 3, 2020, when the news about the Chinese Detective Master Award was still very popular on the Internet, the writer Zhang Qianli's Weiyu suddenly updated a new news.
It's just that to the disappointment of many busybodies, this update from writer Zhang Qianli has nothing to do with this incident. It looks more like a diary. However, the time seems not right. Today is clearly January 3rd.
.
[This is a diary? But today is the third day of January?]
[Silly, it couldn’t have been written before?]
[All the idiots upstairs have not read the contents above. This is obviously not a big diary. It is signed by Charlie Gordon.]
【Foreigner?】
[Could it be an introduction to a new book or something?]
[This is possible, but please help me see if there are any typos in it.]
[You read it correctly, there are just typos.]
[Isn’t it too careless of you to send it out without checking it? 】
[Don’t mention typos, I just feel that the writing style of this diary is a bit childish.]
[I have an immature idea, is this Charlie Gordon illiterate?]
【Can illiterate people write diaries?】
[No, no, I mean he doesn’t know much about literacy. 】
…
This time Zhang Zhong did not wait until the entire book was coded and posted a chapter on Weiyu first.
There is no other reason, he just wants to do marketing.
The next day, he still sent out a diary on time. This diary was longer and contained more information. At the same time, there were more typos in it.
【This must be very intentional!】
After the second diary was published, no one thought that the typos were accidentally caused by the fifth-grade vegetative person, because the frequency of occurrence was so high that even ordinary people, let alone fifth-grade people, would not make so many mistakes when posting.
Great writers like Plant Man.
Many readers have already begun to celebrate.
[Don’t think about it, it must be a new book, and these two diaries must be introductions or something.]
[Holy shit, could it be Death Note? This Charlie Gordon is the victim of this murder.]
[What the person above said is reliable, and it sounds like it to me. The clues to the case should be in these diaries. 】
【Holy shit, I need to take a closer look.】
[You just say that this Charlie Gordon is a victim, can’t he be a detective? 】
[Isn’t it funny to show off your brain upstairs? This guy can’t be a detective even if he can’t write clearly in his diary? 】
[This is not possible, what if someone has a talent for detectives? 】
…
At this time, from the comments of netizens, we can see their stereotype of the fifth-grade vegetative person. In their impression, if Zhang Zhong publishes another book, it must be a detective novel.
Many readers even believe that Poirot will still be the protagonist in the next book, and they have long labeled the fifth-grade vegetative man as a "master of detective novels."
Zhang Zhong didn't pay attention to the comments from netizens. He still posted a diary on Weiyu every day.
It was sent to "March 16th", with a total of eleven diaries. Readers also learned more information, including that Charlie Gordon is an intellectually disabled person who works in a bakery, and recently there seems to be
What professors, doctors and other researchers are going to do on him are experiments that were previously done on mice.
As for the purpose of the experimental surgery, it is to make this Charlie Gordon smart.
Gradually, readers who were previously obsessed with reading detective novels have put aside the detective and the murder, and they have begun to wonder what kind of experiment this is.
Judging from the performance of the mouse named Algernon, it seems that this experiment is feasible. The only question now is whether it can produce the same effect in humans.
Dr. Strauss and others want to know, and so do fifth-grade vegetative readers.
What they want to know more is what would happen if a person with an original intellectual disability suddenly became smart.
Just when they were looking forward to it, thinking that there would be new updates on writer Zhang Qianli's Weiyu the next day, writer Zhang Qianli did not update on that day.
For a time, some people were crying for their fathers, and some were calling for their mothers.
[Even if you kill people, you can't kill your heart. What does it mean to stop updating for one day? 】
[It’s really interesting to watch, Zhang Qianli, I’m so stupid—I kneel down and beg you to update.]
[Damn it, I just realized that I didn’t even know what the title of the book was after chasing it for several days.]
[It should be updated tomorrow.]
【Who knows, I am so irritated that I want to hit someone.】
【I want to send some souvenirs again.】
…
The next day, amid thousands of calls, writer Zhang Qianli's whisper updated the news.
Many people clicked in as soon as they received the prompt message. When they saw the dynamic content, they couldn't help but cursed.
"The new book "Flowers for Algernon" will be available to everyone early next month and will be available in all major bookstores."
Only then did the readers know that the book was called "Flowers for Algernon" and that Algernon was the guinea pig in the laboratory.
[Gan Linniang, this wave of marketing 666]
[My dear, you have become bad. You were not like this before. 】
[Can it be like "The Mysterious Case of Styles Manor" and let us have a lot of fun! 】
[You’re dead, you might as well not post these first few chapters!]
Zhang Zhong sat in front of the computer and looked at the readers' complaints, with a smile on his lips. He had indeed tricked them this time, and it was appropriate to give them a few scoldings.
As for the publishing issue of "Flowers for Algernon", it has been discussed a few days ago. This time Zhang Zhong still keeps the film and television rights in his hands, and the other conditions are the same as before. Agitations Literature wrote to the letter
The issue of the storybook number and follow-up work such as typesetting can be solved within a month. The new book will be released early next month and by the middle of the month at the latest.
In fact, Agitation Literature still has plans to publish two books, also Zhang Zhong's books, namely "Murder on the Orient Express" and "I Am a Fortune Teller".
There is also a book called "The Mysterious Case of Styles Manor" that is not even included in the recent publication plans.
Originally, Agitated Literature wanted to lengthen the publication interval of Zhang Zhong's books so that his books would not affect each other's sales. However, after suppressing it for a period of time, more and more Zhang Zhong's books were published. They
I almost couldn’t keep up, so I stopped caring about the spacing issue and decided to give out one copy whenever I had one.
After all, no one knows how productive Zhang Zhong is.
…
Toot toot.
Zhang Zhong was reading online comments when his cell phone rang. It was a landline number from Yanjing. Zhang Zhong didn't make a note, but he remembered that it seemed to be the phone number from Harvest Literature Network.
After answering the phone, a familiar voice came from the other side.
"Hi, hello, Mr. Zhang, I'm Lin Ping, the editor-in-chief of Harvest Literature Network. I called you last time."
