The book "Lamarck Games" has been completed. Many people have complained about Xiaoyun's obscure writing. So let's create this document to explain some things.
Some of them may have been seen by most of you, but too many people asked and questioned. Xiaoyun summarized them to give some ideas to new friends who are watching from the beginning. If you don't understand some, you can check them here.
Others are interesting things that not many people would notice if Xiaoyun hadn't mentioned them. To avoid being too high-minded and lonely, I would like to share them here for everyone's enjoyment.
Of course, there are more Easter eggs that are not included in this document, and many of them even Xiaoyun himself does not remember. Everyone is still happy to find them, and when they find them, they will naturally experience a small sense of accomplishment. This is one of the joys of reading.
Already?
All in all, all these things do not affect the plot of the main article. If you notice it, it adds some interest, but if you don't notice it, it has nothing to do with it. I talked about the so-called background of the article, Xiaoyun has always felt that there are many things that others may not notice if you don't mention them.
Accumulated together, the so-called foundation is built.
Of course, Xiaoyun is not too old and has little life experience. The so-called background is just some superficial things. But when it comes to attitude, if there are too many such things, it will more or less make people feel some depth beyond the story.
, what do you think?
Well, criticisms and corrections are welcome if you have different opinions. Above.
1 Regarding chapter titles: Some people said that this kind of writing method without subtitles is very uncomfortable. In fact, Xiaoyun originally thought of just the chapter format of a traditional physical book. But as he wrote it... well, smart little guy
You may have noticed it already, so why not try to connect the titles of each chapter and read them (???)?
If you can’t react, remember to compare the mentioning poem left by the dragon girl sister at the end and the final poem on each character’s character card. Combining all the above three parts is the complete answer to the secret of the chapter name, inspired by
The fugue in the composition is tightly interwoven horizontally and vertically, allowing each part to play multiple meanings at different levels.
Well, that's right, it's Xiaoyun's original trick again. Great poets in ancient times have never done it like this.
By the way, the current chapter titles of Force Majeure have been revised. The original title of the first chapter was "The Killing Game", and the title of the third chapter was "The Road to the Conspiracy and the Zero-sum Game". It's better to bring the original version and read it.
2 Regarding the number of chapters: Maybe it’s because of his awkward personality. Xiaoyun has always disliked all kinds of auspicious things. OwO, then when people want to be auspicious, don’t they post a blessing sign upside down to indicate that good fortune has arrived? Xiaoyun thought about turning “die” upside down.
It fits the atmosphere of this book quite well. Hehehe~
The last total of 21 chapters is partly because of the hidden meaning in the title, and partly because of the asymmetrical aesthetics of a single chapter. It is a little more than half of 41, which is close to the meaning of the golden section.
3 Regarding the character’s name: Well, many authors have been playing this gameplay since Dream of Red Mansions. However, Xiaoyun is the type who has a lot of fun, so there is this dense [Acknowledgment List] at the end of the document. (Actually,
Adding all kinds of information and data about each person in Xiaoyun’s own outline looks even more scary. This is compiled) Dear friends, let’s see how many of them you discovered when you were studying~
4 Regarding the power names: Like Miss Qu, Xiaoyun also really likes girls. So, Yun Shang, Daoxian, Lily...the origins of many power names that appear in books are actually from the same type.
Flowers with special meanings.
Chapter 1 The whereabouts of the head: The bones will become loose after being roasted enough, and when ground into powder, they will turn into a strange-tasting cough. Are there too many ways to deal with the hair?
Chapter 1: How to kill the tattooed man: A pure sodium block battery reacts with water and burns, and it will continue to burn even in a vacuum. Qu Yun calculated that it would be enough to exceed the limit time of human survival in a vacuum, and the tattooed man died from the vacuum fire extinguishing in the room
System. (Originally I didn’t want to explain these two questions, but after reading this chapter, it seems that many little cuties don’t understand, so I’ll just talk nonsense here.)
Chapter 1: How everyone lined up in each round and what they were thinking: It’s a bit too much, so I won’t go into details here. Go check out the final daily voting table and see what the reverse is! Those villains who represent the halo of the protagonist are really stupid.
Okay. Haven’t you seen the case reasoning? If the author doesn’t explain everything, it means it didn’t happen?
In short, when Xiaoyun wrote the first chapter, he carefully designed unwritten hidden actions for each character for each round that fit their character and stance. All of these are included in the voting form and can be deduced.
come out.
Those children who forcibly step on the heroine to show her superiority, have you ever thought that if you can't see through the undercurrent behind it, can you really survive being thrown into a similar game? (Humbling with deep resentment~)
Chapter 9 Yin Xiyi's three tests: 1. The assumption that the manager praised you a few days ago has not been refuted because the ranger, like her, did not know what happened a few days ago. 2. Qu Yun looked through it in the rented car after a sleepless night.
However, Charade is a brand that does not exist in this world. 3 This world uses the Australian dollar AUD, and the gold dollar is the currency of the world.
(PS The scene in this chapter was created 1:1 based on the real-life scenic spots that Xiaoyun likes very much and has been to countless times because she lives relatively nearby)
Chapter 11: 50 reward points away from perfection: I won’t tell you, just use your imagination~
Chapter 12: Why is it a general outline of sixty-three Chinese characters: Because the Chinese Pinyin has a total of twenty-three initial consonants, twenty-four finals, and an overall recognition of sixteen syllables, a total of sixty-three. Of course, it was formulated by Taizu.
At the time when this picture was taken, the Chinese pinyin had not yet been invented, but the Chinese pronunciation was still very similar. This was probably what made him extraordinary beyond the times.
Chapter 14: Melody in the Mind: From Xiaoyun's No. 1 String Quartet Emotions. In the order of appearance in the article, they are the second movement Illusory Hope, the first movement Restlessness, the fourth movement Sorrow and the third movement Sfreude. Feelings
Interested little cuties can go to Station B to listen to Xiaoyun’s original song recording. (See anniversary post)
Essentially, this is dreaming in mysticism, Qu Yun’s subconscious understanding and reconstruction of the three truth images. As for its connotation, in addition to the logical hints that break the logic mentioned in the article, it also contains some nodes of Qu Yun’s door to truth.
The sage runes on it, the explanation of the title of the music, the historical truth behind the world view of this series of works, and some predictions about the future.
When these secrets are revealed one by one in subsequent works, interested little cuties can also come back to the meaning of these "old songs" that come from Quyun's subconscious effect.
Chapter 14 Little Deer's Spell: Most spellcasters in the Lamarckian system do not know the original sage runes and dragon syllable chants like Qu Yun. They use various kinds of spells derived from the original runes.
Spells in other languages.
The mantra chanted by Xiaolu comes from a combination of English, German and French, meaning "May the flame purify the darkness!" The capital "flame" represents the source of power of a mantra, which often requires the use of syllables as complex and precise as dragon script.
Only by chanting in a certain way (including tone, length, relatively accurate pitch, etc.) can the whole mantra gain power.
If you are interested, open the online translation and compare each common magician's spell that appears later, and you will find similar interesting situations.
Chapter 14 The Name of the Little Deer: The English deer of the word deer is directly transliterated to Tier. Remember when it was mentioned in the last section of the chapter that the sound of the piano is still there, I said that the little deer has an English name, right? (Remember?
This little cutie saw and posted this chapter before Xiaoyun posted this document, saying, thumbs up for you.)
Chapter 15 The Dragon Girl specifically mentions and introduces the ecology of the Phantom Bird in detail: in order to imply that Qu Yun’s tearing of the barriers of the universe has nothing to do with strength, as long as she masters the power of the fifth dimension, or her own original realm reaches the fifth dimension.
.
She mentioned this after the two had just established their relationship because Dragon Girl understood that they could not stay together forever. In her conflicting mood, she hoped that Qu Yun would finally get her wish by spreading her wings and flying high, leaving the bottom universe to see the scenery at a higher level.
.
Five-character quatrains in 0703: The little cutie who loves poetry may have found that among the four sentences, only the words "tears of love and wetness" are difficult to explain. On the surface, this naturally refers to Qu Yun being tortured to the point of crying and laughing.
But think about it carefully, what is the difference between tears and wetness? "Yiye", right?
One-night love, this is a design that Xiao Yunman likes, it’s quite tasteful, right? Well, of course, this does not mean ONS, but refers to this pair of people who only get this one night of tenderness in their lives. It’s a bit sad, isn’t it?
If you can feel it, you understand Xiaoyun's state of mind when he wrote this poem.
1011 Qu Yun mentioned that this is not anyone’s spiritual world: This is the truth, because this is no longer a simple illusion created by [Qu Yun’s Spiritual Labyrinth] relying on her own spiritual world, but with the help of the wonderful relationship with Sister Longnu.
The reaction then brings together all the four-dimensional realms of both the enemy and ourselves into the collective subconscious.
1012 Qu Yun took the initiative to question Dai Zishu's strategy: At this time, Qu Yun was not doubting as she asked, but believed that Dai Zishu must be reasonably sure to solve the problem. But it is precisely because of this that it is necessary to understand his thoughts in advance.
, let your magic world feedback effects that won’t arouse the old gentleman’s suspicion.
Well, there are quite a lot of similar talismans in this chapter. If you are interested, you should be able to find quite a few if you read it again with the ending.
Chapter 21: The ending of Sister Dragon Girl: In the first version of the synopsis, Dragon Girl was actually killed by Qu Yun herself. She plotted against Qu Yun step by step from the beginning, forcing her to kill herself to gain her own power to save the world.
Later, when the writing came to the end, the love between them had changed in Xiaoyun's eyes. Even if Longnu really had this idea at the beginning, she would not have the heart to put it into practice at this time. Because when Quyun changed her original intention, she was involved
When she entered the battle to save the world, her status in the Dragon Girl's heart was no less than that of the world she loved so much.
It is undoubtedly cruel and blunt to change the character's original will for the predetermined plot, so Xiaoyun finally chose this ending that will probably make you love her more and send away Sister Long Nu.
Regarding more details, easter eggs and secrets: Xiaoyun constructed a 100,000-word outline for this book, and each subsequent chapter also has a detailed outline of about 5,000 words, among which Xiaoyun himself has many secret details.
It's impossible to remember everything (but fortunately, most of them are recorded).
When I started the book, I didn't think about what achievements the newcomer could make in the first place, but I hoped that what I wrote would still be worth analyzing five or six years after it was finished, and that readers would still be able to find new Easter eggs. Therefore.
In addition to what Xiaoyun specifically mentioned, in addition to those that have been discovered by your comments in this chapter, there are actually countless little secrets in this book.
