Chapter 171: Nesting Dolls Again (End of Starry Sky)
While laughing, Zhou Wenkang couldn't help but sigh.
What happened to the junior high school girls of this year? They all seemed to have crashed into the God of Wealth's den.
As far as he could see, Xie Yan's girlfriend Ding Wei was now being watched by most of the classmates in the novel school, and they were even chasing after her at night.
Chen Siyu, who communicated with him diligently before, would have bought a new mobile phone and delivered it to him if it hadn't been for some mistake.
The fat white guy Bai Shanshan is said to have a good family background, but his brain is probably filled with fat. Even though he is so handsome and elegant, he still fails to attract her attention.
Now, the most humble Lu Li actually writes novels? Not to mention three to five thousand a month, but also tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands in copyright fees?
Why are the classmates in his dormitory, now in their junior year of college, all of them only rely on their families?
The comparison is too miserable.
…
Lu Li also thought of Zhou Wenkang at this moment.
It's those students who didn't get half a cent from Xie Yan...
When she thought about it, the slight shyness in her heart seemed to be relieved a lot.
Even Ding Wei’s fat boyfriend can’t compare to...
She felt a little disdainful in her heart.
But at the same time, Lu Li also thought of what the other party said, and at this moment she felt strangely empathetic.
Maybe, their future is limited by poverty and they just lack an opportunity.
Now, once her novel is published, she will be able to seize this opportunity, but Zhou Wenkang, a junior in college in front of her, has not yet been able to seize it.
If you think about it carefully, it's still a bit worthless.
Lu Li rubbed her face carefully and looked at Zhou Wenkang with her eyes gradually becoming colder.
Don't underestimate girls who have never been in love.
They may be easily impressed, but precisely because they have never been in love and do not know the reality, their requirements for their future partner are based on imagination.
Nowadays, Goryeo dramas and idol dramas are very popular. Which Cinderella doesn’t long for a prince to protect her?
Even if you are not the richest man, you can still meet your own Ao Ye, right?
If it doesn't work, it must be a potential stock at least.
Therefore, despite the fact that Lu Li has never been in love, in fact, Zhou Wenkang, who has not seized the opportunity in his junior year, is obviously not in her consideration range.
Not as good as her.
…
Her coldness cannot be hidden.
Zhou Wenkang's smile gradually stiffened. Is there something wrong?
He couldn't help but look himself up and down.
Could it be that the news about his hemorrhoids has spread so widely?
Otherwise, why would this freshman girl with an average appearance and average body dare to look at herself with such critical eyes?
Where has his good rapport with girls gone?
Ding Wei and all the girls in this dormitory must be sick!
…
However, he, poor and well-off, is by no means a person who gives up easily.
The copyright fee is tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands!
Moreover, he had just vaguely heard the entire conversation and knew that this junior sister also had unspeakable family difficulties. It couldn't be easier to deal with such a weak person, especially those from families that favor boys over girls. If you give them a little care, you can
Get their hearts.
Where there is one, there are two, two give rise to three, and three give rise to all things.
As long as a hole can be opened, Cui Yu will probably have to beg him to get back together.
snort.
At that time, I would not look down on this superficial woman who broke up with me because of hemorrhoids.
At this moment, he readjusted his lonely demeanor: "Junior sister, don't be sad...you have to know that sometimes, if you are too good and see too clearly, you will inevitably have to bear the criticism of others."
He took two steps forward, trying to slowly get closer to the safe distance between people.
However, Lu Li took a step back warily.
"I know that you just like to spend money on girls' money. I have to use my money to buy things. I don't have much for you, so don't even think about it."
Zhou Wenkang's smile gradually stiffened. He took a deep breath and tried to hold back his disappointed expression:
"Junior sister, no wonder you have it"
Just as he started to defend himself, Lu Li looked at him warily, turned around and ran away quickly!
Zhou Wenkang:!!!
…
Behind the big tree, Chen Siyu was holding her stomach and almost laughing like crazy.
hahahahahahaha
She really can't stand it anymore hahaha!
How could there be such a magical plot!
But then she thought about it, she was so lucky that she gave Zhou Wenkang a mobile phone! At this moment, staring at the figure of the other person gradually walking away, she became unhappy again.
This scumbag!
When she turns around, she will think of another way and let this scum take out all the money Cui Yu spent!
She took out her mobile phone and looked at the time
14:27 pm.
There is also a reminder message from Ding Wei.
!!!
Class starts in three minutes!!!
No longer able to think about all this mess, Chen Siyu ran away.
…
She ran very fast, but Lu Li did not intend to attend this class again.
Nowadays, she also feels a bit like a broken person.
Anyway, I don’t like the teacher, and the teacher doesn’t call names anyway, so what I learned is of no use anyway…
I cried for so long today that my face is almost chapped. I might as well go back to the dormitory to tidy up and adjust my mood.
By the way... I want to ask about the royalties.
It’s been over a month and a week, why haven’t the royalties been paid yet?
At this moment, Lu Li's mind unexpectedly appeared what Ding Wei had said before.
"It seems that your publishing house often defaults on manuscript fees?"
Her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly took out her cell phone and sent a message to the editor: "When will my royalties be paid?"
The editor's reply was still so quick: "Don't be anxious. You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Why don't we talk about copyright first?"
Lu Li was not really stupid. At this moment, she asked: "The discussion about copyright is about copyright, and it has nothing to do with the royalties. Can't we just pay it to a bank card?"
She published only 30,000 words last month, but she published all the 110,000 words. Even if she doesn’t give out the unpublished ones, she still has to give out the 30,000 words that have been published!
15 thousand words, so the total is only 450 yuan.
For such a big publishing house, it takes so long to pay 450 yuan?
This can't be done.
The editor's reply was still so prompt: "Don't worry, we will give you the publishing fee soon. Will a publishing house as big as ours still refuse to pay you?"
But after typing so many words, the reply speed is close to seconds.
Does typing take no time?
Or is there a standard answer to this question that can be copied?
Now I only have one tutor, no more than three classes a week, and my income is estimated to be only two to three hundred yuan.
It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.
From a salary of nearly one thousand yuan per week to two to three hundred yuan, how can people easily accept this gap? If there is another problem with the manuscript fee
Lu Li stared at the callus on the middle finger of her right hand and her arm that still felt a little stiff. She couldn't believe this possibility no matter what.
She spent so much time working on a 110,000-word manuscript!
The more Lu Li thought about it, the more panicked she became, and her pace gradually quickened.
…
After losing three students and not being paid her royalties, she had an unprecedented meal that night and then returned to the dormitory. She sat quietly at her desk with her eyes blank, which was an extremely rare waste of time.
But Chen Siyu had already vividly described the details of the phone call to them in the afternoon. Ding Wei would not comment on whether there was any embarrassment, but the core of it should be correct.
so
In this state, Lu Li must have been abandoned by her family, so she felt uncomfortable!
The three people in the dormitory looked thoughtful, winked at each other, and decided not to disturb her mood.
At this moment, Ding Wei looked at the calendar and found that today was her dear aunt's birthday.
Oh my gosh!
This is a big deal!
Whether you have a good time in the four years of college depends on your aunt!
And the winter vacation is about to begin. Even if you use working as an excuse, you can’t go back during the Chinese New Year. The treatment then will also depend on your aunt!
So she thought about it, picked up the phone card and went to the corridor.
After inputting dozens of digits, I finally successfully dialed the familiar phone number:
"Auntie, I am Weiwei!"
As a decent city dweller, Lao Ding's brothers, sisters and children would naturally come to celebrate my aunt's birthday.
It was exactly six o'clock in the afternoon, and dinner at my aunt's house had not yet started, when I received a call from Ding Wei.
The aunt was overjoyed: "Oh! Weiwei! How is it? Has your mother given you enough living expenses? Are you doing well in school?"
Although he only said these few words, Ding Wei understood the expectations hidden in them.
"Auntie, happy birthday!"
After she finished speaking, she felt a little frustrated: "No one answered my home phone calls before."
Naturally, the call was not made, but the aunt had already figured it out: "I blame your mother for not being at home well every day..."
Bai Xiujuan, who was still cooking, took the blame innocently. The most important thing is that she didn't know anything yet.
There is a reason why my aunt has such a good attitude.
"Weiwei, do you know what your brother Haitao's score is in this exam?"
Ding Wei thought that the review for the third year of high school has reached a stage, and the results will be improved to some extent. But in the previous life, Haitao's younger brother performed beyond the standard, and in the end he was only an ordinary second grader, so
Ahem.
So I pretended I couldn't think of it: "How much?"
My aunt was extremely surprised: "I got fifteen places!"
She was elated: "Weiwei, as a sister, you know how much you care about your brother. It must be the information you sent back that played a role! You kid, you spent a lot on postage, didn't you?"
"How much did it cost in total? Tell your aunt and she will replenish it for you."
A heavy box of test papers and information was sent back. When people in the community saw it, they all envied her bright niece!
None of my siblings care so much!
In those days, people kept coming to my aunt’s house to borrow materials and make copies!
After all, no matter how good the materials recommended by the school are, they were given by students of the University of Ming Dynasty!
Besides, for a senior high school student, how can there be too much information?
Ding Wei also smiled brightly: "Auntie, I have loved Haitao since he was a child. He is smart and sensible. He will definitely have a big future! What do you say about money? Auntie, you are so good to me, so let's see it outside.
Already."
The aunt felt dizzy after hearing this, as if her son, whose grades are still on the third line, will really be admitted to the University of Ming Dynasty in the future, complete his master's degree and Ph.D., enter the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and enter the News Network...
Yes, Haitao is so promising!
Auntie became energetic for a while, then she heard Ding Wei's instructions: "So Auntie, during this critical period, you can't let brother Haitao relax and stare at him doing questions and papers every day. Our question sea tactics are famous for their power."
, write more questions! By the time you have developed this muscle memory, you will be able to write when you see the paper. Can your score not go up?"
The aunt nodded her head in agreement.
"but……"
Ding Wei's main topic came: "Auntie, life in the imperial capital is very stressful. There are many clubs in our school and there are many places to spend money. Now that the weather is cold, we have to buy thick clothes, shoes and socks, etc."
The aunt quickly said: "I'll ask your mother to give you money!"
"No no no!"
Ding Wei looks so simple and cares about her family
"Auntie, I have grown up and now I have to learn to be self-reliant. It is not easy for my parents to make money. I can't spend it like this."
"I've thought about it, I won't go back during the winter vacation, and I'll be a substitute teacher in a tutoring institution. Although the student's salary is small, it should be enough for me to buy some clothes and food. And I can also listen to what those gold medal teachers teach.
, I will compile it into information and send it back to brother Haitao."
Ding Wei was almost moved by herself. What a good daughter and niece who is devoted to her family!
"Anyway, brother Haitao won't be able to take a few days off during the winter vacation. I just want to go back and tutor him, but the effect won't be very good. I might as well collect more information for him."
She sighed again: "Otherwise, I can help you find out about the schools and majors in this imperial capital, so that when you finally apply for a job, you won't be blinded."
On the school forum, these information are updated every year, and there are discounts for buying them in packages, and they are indeed carefully compiled by the senior brothers and sisters, because I have already bought them for hundreds of yuan before, and I will add more after the new year. It is completely
not a problem.
If you can get some peace and quiet for a few hundred dollars, that's really great.
…
Ding Wei is now thinking about her family wholeheartedly: "Auntie, I try not to spend money randomly in school and earn my own money. You also asked my parents to pay more attention to their health. They haven't answered the phone recently. They must think that I am spending too much money...
…”
The voice dropped, and the aunt couldn't help but glare at Ding Haiyang, who was still playing cards. She blamed his unlucky wife!
What a wonderful ocean they have! They are all led by their daughter-in-law to stop kissing their daughter!
On the other end of the phone, Ding Wei was still urging: "Auntie, let go of the boy and let him go as far away as possible and try his luck in a developed city. But these schools have regional protections, and our students there are very
It’s hard to get retribution, so I have to inquire more safely..."
In fact, the main reason is that there are not enough points.
If Brother Haitao's score is really secure enough, Ding Wei won't mind him coming to the imperial capital.
At least this guy helped her stop a wave of trouble in her last life.
But my aunt was extremely moved.
The eldest girl of my Lao Ding family... is so outstanding!
She also expressed distressed concern:
"Silly girl, you are still young. When you should get money from your family, you should go to your family for money. How tiring it is to be a substitute teacher. You are a student and the boss is deducting your salary. However, it is also a good thing for you to exercise. When the time comes, you can give Hai
Tao can help..."
The two were moved by each other, and finally hung up the phone reluctantly.
Only then did the aunt react.
"Oh, I feel so sorry for our Hai Tao that I forgot to ask Hai Tao to say a few words."
"I'm telling you, if you have nothing to do, please give me a few words...I won't answer my children's phone calls when I'm old..."
Bai Xiujuan was really wronged.
"Sister, I really didn't receive it."
The aunt frowned: "You either dance in the square or go out for a walk every day. When you come back, you watch TV and then fall asleep. What can you expect?"
"But let me tell you, the child's heart is for our family, and you can't quarrel with her because of this matter."
"Did you give Weiwei living expenses this month? How much did you give? It's cold today, so shouldn't the child buy some clothes or something at school? A down jacket costs several hundred. Thanks to you, I'm still a mother... Xiujuan
Ah, sometimes I don’t even want to talk about you, please remember to take the time to give us both a few hundred dollars when you go back tonight.”
She turned around and went to the kitchen, muttering unwillingly: "Thankfully, I'm a mother, so I can't afford to eat, so I just let my children pick and swish in school..."
She has accumulated a lot of authority. At this moment, several people are sitting there in the living room. After a moment of silence, the sounds of playing mahjong are much gentler.
…
Today is indeed a good day.
First of all, I learned the bad news about Lu Li.
Of course, everyone is kind, so this emotion should be reserved and restrained.
Secondly, it solved the problem of not going home temporarily during the winter vacation.
third
The Starry Sky of Great Times is finally coming to an end tonight!
Ding Wei looked at her document, feeling a little excited and a little sad.
Although the magazine is only serializing into its second issue now, and the third issue will be in two days, in her document, the story has grown from 1.5 million words to 2.3 million words uncontrollably.
From the intense writing on October 7th to today, December 13th, sixty days before and after, Ding Wei dares to say that most of the Internet articles in the future will not be able to write like her.
However, the average writing time is more than 7 hours a day
She couldn't help but lift her fingers and look at it
I'm so awesome!
There is also the Overbearing President: The Mute Wife, which was submitted two days ago. It took a week and the full text was 360,000 words, which can also bring in a fortune.
At this moment, she took a deep breath and put her fingers on the keyboard
…
In the vast universe, endless darkness and starry sky, Jupiter's giant eye seems to be able to pierce the heart of the observer. In the distant surroundings of Neptune, unique meteorites float around, as if they can violently collide with the spacecraft at any time.
The sun, which gives all life the opportunity to originate, is like a sea of flame, burning in a silent place, taking care of itself.
It doesn't end with anyone.
Standing at the edge of the spacecraft's porthole, Zhan Cheng adjusted the "Taihu" astronomical telescope system that came with the porthole back to its original mirror. All magnified images were eliminated, and the starry sky became small and quiet again.
"We are about to enter the Star Sea Era."
He said to the general who had always supported him.
The general who has watched Zhan Cheng single-handedly develop science and technology to what it is today is almost old. This first official voyage of the spacecraft was an unattainable dream for him in his childhood.
But adults never believe that this dream can come true in their lifetime.
He looked at Zhan Cheng's eyes that contained millions of stories, and smiled slightly at this moment: "What is the Star Sea Era?"
Zhan Cheng also laughed:
"It's war."
"It's the enemy."
"It is the vigilance that dare not speak out in the dark forest, and the fight between hunters and hunters, and at the same time with other species."
"You will die and I will die without asking for peace."
He said it so seriously, but the general was not nervous. Instead, he laughed louder: "Is this the only thing you desire so much?"
"No." Zhan Cheng turned his back to him and looked at the endless universe
In a certain coordinate, a certain particle of dust, a certain timeline, a certain parallel universe.
He has his flesh and blood compatriots who turned into light and dust.
"The Star Sea Era is proof that we can protect ourselves."
He suddenly turned around and walked into the hall, where countless media were waiting for him. Countless photographic equipment were densely suspended in the air. In the palms of the reporters' hands, there were layers of virtual panels.
As the countdown ends on the big screen
"Global live broadcast begins."
Someone announced in a low voice.
Now 45 years old, Zhan Cheng stood there with a resolute expression. In a daze, the general seemed to see the young man looking up from the pool of blood and mess in the information again.
Zhan Cheng, chief engineer of the Xinghai project, said:
"Everyone, today, we have personally seen the vast universe."
"This means that our efforts have not been in vain, and our technology has been making progress."
"But this is just the beginning."
"The moment we set foot on the universe, the battle is about to begin. After all, in the vast sea of stars, everyone should have a concept."
"We are not the only life in the universe."
"The nature of different species, the prerequisite for survival and reproduction, is to obtain uniqueness."
Everyone was in an uproar.
All the media people spoke frantically: "Mr. Zhan, are you saying there are other species?"
“Does obtaining uniqueness mean fighting without peaceful coexistence?”
"Is this crisis caused by spacecraft?"
"Do we have any chance of winning the space battle at this stage?"
"What is the new species?"
…
Whenever Zhan Cheng casts his eyes toward the porthole, he can see his compatriots as long as he stares at the stars.
And the people sitting in front of him are also his compatriots.
He whispered: "In fact, three years before the launch of the spacecraft project, that is, twenty-two years ago, we captured a piece of information about the invaders from space."
"That is the last record from a race and a planet that was completely devoured by invaders in the sea of stars."
"Tianquan Star is a living planet with a total mass three times that of Blue Star. They have their own civilization, their own history, different countries and many lives. They have a ring star belt and twelve auxiliary stars. But they
Without enough vigilance, eventually, the entire planet will be devoured by the invaders, and all life will be eaten as a meal."
"In the end, only meaningless cosmic dust is left, dissipated in the history of this sea of stars."
"In the end, there was only an undigested record carrier floating in the sea of stars, and then it was captured."
"The new species, according to records, also has its own history, and is called Sellon. But their goal is to invade and devour."
"I don't know if there is a chance of winning the cosmic battle at this stage, but if we don't fight, how will we know if we have a chance?"
"The spaceship was born because of the crisis and the future. It is our first line of defense to protect the starry sky of the Milky Way."
"I came here to protect my compatriots, from the beginning, from the beginning of everything."
The Star Soul of the Great Era has been completed forever.
