"I am a 'tentacle monster who is desperately coding', and I have something on my mind that I want to tell you."
"I know many friends hope that this book can be written to two million, three million, or even five million words, or even be endless."
"However, I don't have much experience in writing fantasy. The structure of this book is so big at the beginning. The most exciting content is almost completed at 700-800 thousand words. Counting the irrigation, it only reaches 1 million.
.”
"You can find that the plot has obviously sped up recently. This is because I have written nearly 700,000 words, and it is actually almost coming to an end."
"I'm afraid that the completion of the book will be too sudden and that everyone will not be able to accept it, so now I am announcing that the book may be completed within a week or two, so everyone should be mentally prepared."
"The new book is still under preparation. I will report to you as soon as the score is available."
As expected, the book review section was filled with mourners.
Cui Geng decisively closed the process of the terminal app without reading the readers' comments.
Anyway, if you just think about it with your feet, you can probably figure out what the style of these comments will be.
"If you get scolded, just get scolded. As long as I don't read the comments, these scoldings will not exist."
"Even if I get scolded, I still have to write this idea down!"
"I can vaguely feel that this idea will be my brightest moment in writing a book!"
Cui Geng turned on his computer, created a new document on it, and quickly wrote down his ideas.
"Although the upper limit of urban themes is not as high as traditional fantasy and fairy tale themes, there are definitely many readers and it is a popular theme."
"It's just that...most of the current urban themes are still cool and pretentious, ambiguous, and mainly about themes such as the King of Soldiers and the School Beauty."
"That clearly didn't fit the story I wanted to write."
“It can’t be pretentious, and it can’t be too preachy, because it doesn’t fit the nature of the idea.”
"So, the tone of the story I want to write should be humorous."
"What gives readers is not the traditional sense of satisfaction, but the feeling of being in control of everything, like God..."
While Cui Geng was thinking about it, he quickly came up with a good outline of the story.
The title of the book is called "The Butterfly Game".
The protagonist has no name yet, but he is a tool man anyway.
One day, the protagonist was eating fish at home, and suddenly the system descended from the sky. A blue light ball hit his head and merged with him.
He discovered that he could summon this ball of light at will, and through this ball of light, he could observe what was happening in a parallel world at will.
There is a game attached to this light ball called "Butterfly Game". The name comes from the "Butterfly Effect".
The protagonist is not the creator of this parallel world.
He has certain permissions in the game, but he can only make some rather superficial changes to this parallel world, like a butterfly flapping its wings gently in the Amazon jungle.
The goal of the game is to create a series of chain reactions through these shallow transformations, which will have a huge impact on people or things in the parallel world.
Finally, the game will score the protagonist's technique based on the magnitude of the impact, and issue rewards based on the score.
In this cycle, the protagonist's authority becomes higher and higher, and the scope of influence becomes wider and wider.
Therefore, under the butterfly effect that the protagonist keeps creating, many people's dreams are realized by accident...
Cui Geng even quickly thought of how to write the first subplot at the beginning.
He wanted to write about an independent game producer who was down and out but never gave up on his dream.
This game producer is very poor, and although the game he made has crude materials, it is full of sincerity.
However, he had no money for publicity, so no one took notice.
In desperation, the game producer has decided to give up his dream and go to work in a factory found by his family.
The protagonist discovered him while observing the parallel world, so through his own authority, he found an up owner in the game area, and used his golden finger to make the up owner "just happen to" download the game and play it.
stand up.
Thanks to the spontaneous publicity of this up owner, the game suddenly became popular and has been out of control since then, and this independent game producer was able to continue his dream.
Of course, this is just the beginning of the story, which is relatively simple.
As the plot continues to develop, there will be more complex stories.
For example, there is a very rich villain in the book. He is the boss of a very large multinational company. He always likes to acquire various well-reputed game companies around the world and squeeze out the last bit of value from these companies.
In order to cause these game companies to have a debt crisis, they have to sell themselves to him. This big villain often does some small tricks, or inserts moles into the company, or smeares them on the Internet. In short, in order to suppress the company he likes, he will do anything.
Don't use it to the extreme.
The protagonist's mission is to use the butterfly effect he has mastered to change some details, so that the villain's goal will eventually fail, and these conscientious game companies will be saved from the fate of a hostile takeover.
In short, the protagonist will use his golden finger to influence some people in this parallel world through this "butterfly effect", so that they can realize their dreams.
These people can be found in any industry. They can be game producers, entrepreneurs, Internet cafe owners, singers, actors, directors, authors...
Various identities such as this.
Over time, the people the protagonist has helped will help each other and influence each other, making the development of the situation even more unpredictable.
When many supporting characters gradually grow up and their life trajectories gradually overlap, the butterfly effect mastered by the protagonist can play a greater role.
For example, a child who might have dropped out of school, because of the butterfly effect of the protagonist, received funding from well-intentioned people, successfully completed high school, completed college with honors, received a PhD, and became a postdoctoral fellow, and participated in the development of an important project;
After the successful development of this project, a new trend was created;
Another supporting character's company was on the verge of bankruptcy, but because of this trend, it came back to life, soared into the sky, and became an industry giant, profoundly changing the world's way of life...
In short, the parallel world has been transformed into a better world by the protagonist using the butterfly effect again and again.
…
After writing out all these ideas, Cui Geng read them carefully several times and made a good evaluation.
"It's not a traditional experience, and there are bound to be great risks."
"But, this also means an opportunity, because it seems that no one has written this kind of content in urban themes."
"The reader does not take the role of the protagonist, but takes the role of God's perspective. Watching the entire parallel world change due to the butterfly effect again and again. This kind of plot should make the readers unpredictable, and they will be more interested in the subsequent reactions.
Full of expectations.”
"There are no blunt pretentious slaps in the book. There are only supporting characters who realize their dreams one by one, and the world is getting better and better."
"The overall style of this book will be humorous and relaxed, which should be more in line with the taste of some readers who are tired of the 'Don't bully young people who are poor' routine."
"Many business stories can be used as inspiration. There are many similar stories at home and abroad where business empires were built due to coincidence."
"In fact, many contents of Tenda Group can be used as prototypes, and the reality is even more exciting..."
The more Cui Geng thought about it, the more he thought it was interesting!
This idea has flaws and cannot be said to be perfect.
But which idea is perfect?
As long as there is innovation, there will definitely be risks.
Thinking of this, Cui Geng sent the document to his mailbox, and then deleted the document saved on the computer.
Ideas are very important to an author. Once someone sees the idea, spreads it out, and is preempted by others to write it, it will be a big trouble.
After everything was settled, Cui Geng looked at his phone and saw that it was time to get off work.
He stood up and walked out.
After I go back, I will concentrate on finishing the current book.
The framework is not big to begin with. If I write 8,000 words a day, I can probably finish the original content in more than a week.
When the time comes, finish the book decisively, get scolded if you get scolded, start a new book at the speed of light, and pretend nothing happened.
For this new idea, I accepted it even though I was scolded!
Cui Geng left the game room and happened to meet Mr. Pei who had just rushed back to the company.
When Pei Qian saw Cui Geng just coming out of the game room, the smile on his face became even brighter: "Let's go, I'll treat you to a meal!"
Cui Geng was stunned: "Ah? But Mr. Pei..."
"It's nothing, just follow me."
Mr. Pei couldn't help but lead Cui Geng into the car, preparing to have a feast at the Ming Mansion family banquet.
Cui Geng sat in the car, suspicious in his heart: "Mr. Pei looks very happy."
"Is it because he already knows about today's Tengda Spiritual Training and your success?"
"He wants to invite me to dinner and give me some encouragement?"
