Originally, Li Yulong wrote novels just to make some money to support his life.
In other words, to maintain his life with his girlfriend.
After all, I'm still in college, a third-rate university in this 18th-tier small city, and working part-time is nothing more than handing out flyers and doing promotions.
That's it, you still have to compete with others for opportunities.
After all, there is only one comprehensive shopping mall in the city now, and there is no place for summer jobs, let alone temporary workers.
Even if there is, the working hours are very long.
In order to be able to spare time to spend with his girlfriend, Li Yulong naturally cannot take such a class.
He thought about it, and the living expenses of five hundred yuan a month were originally only enough for himself.
But after I just started dating my girlfriend, in order to show off my masculinity, I spent 300 yuan on her.
But his girlfriend usually doesn't like to spend his money, so as long as he earns an extra three hundred dollars every month, he won't have to worry about treating his girlfriend to a movie every month and giving her a small gift or something.
After all, my family only has this much money, and if I really have to spend three thousand a month, I don't have the ability.
…
His plan was very good, and the reality was also very good. He only wrote 20,000 words, and he passed the signing application and was directly awarded a signing bonus of 300 yuan.
With these three hundred yuan, he and his girlfriend had a happy life in April.
Then.
Because he had no worries, and with the encouragement of his editor and the admiration of his girlfriend, he worked hard and rushed to 100,000 words in time for May Day.
When the editor asked whether to open it for a public period to attract more people, or to put it directly on the shelves, he immediately chose the latter.
——Just kidding, of course the money you get is the best.
And after putting on the shelves, if you work harder every month, you can get a thousand yuan for perfect attendance, plus your own five hundred yuan...
Wow, as long as the subscription results can be as good as three melons and two dates, he and his girlfriend will live happily, and they can buy some gifts for their parents when they are free.
Just thinking about it like this made him full of energy.
…
Then it was arranged to be released on May Day.
You can continuously refresh and see your own data in the background.
Li Yulong never expected that his results would be ranked third on the website.
This made him extremely happy!
In the previous public period, it was not that there were no comment rewards and other encouragements, but Li Yulong thought that the new website was so well promoted, maybe this was given by someone inside their website!
So I didn't take it seriously at all.
Besides, his Chinese language performance has not been outstanding since he was a child, and he doesn't feel that his writing is very good at all.
In short, I don't have that confidence.
really.
Let editor Guo Mu evaluate his novel. The writing is average, but the story is very strong and the rhythm is very smooth.
There are even many flaws and loopholes.
But once you get into it, you will read the whole book before you know it. This is the charm of it.
This kind of ability is purely a gift from God. Without this talent, you won't be able to write millions of words to develop this ability.
…
Moreover, the website has huge bonuses for the top ten works in the competition. The first place can even get 10,000 yuan.
Think about it, how wonderful this is!
"Glory of Ceylon - The Rise of the Alchemist"
Author:online
With Li Yulong's current ranking, he can get 8,000 yuan for third place.
Although the final ranking has not yet been determined, it will not be determined until the end of the month... but what if!
As soon as he thought about this possibility, he felt as if he had been given a shot of chicken blood, and he was full of energy. By accident, he actually wrote 20,000 to 30,000 words in one day!
Under a virtuous cycle, his subscription income and rewards increased again the next day.
By the time the May Day holiday was about to end, his daily income had reached more than 400 yuan.
In this day and age, what is the concept of earning more than 400 yuan a day?
His parents had never earned this much in a quarter even if they had lived in their hometown all their lives!
——This is really great!
At this moment, he was facing the computer, his eyes were bright and alert, and his hands were already in the state, making a "pap-pap-pap-pap" sound on the keyboard.
"Glory of Ceylon - The Rise of the Alchemist"
Chapter 76: Holy Legion
[The skeleton sat up from the table, its bones making a clicking sound.
The candlelight flickered and danced, reflecting the two green phosphorus fires in his eye sockets that were particularly penetrating.
"Boy."
The gums make a clicking sound.
However, Andre could hear the skeleton's rough and hoarse voice in his mind:
"You guys all came to Ceylon to prospect for gold, right?"
"The bards always say that the continent of Ceylon is full of gold, and if you kick it under your feet, it might be a gem - boy, do you believe it?"
This was not the first time Andre had seen him in this image, so he was naturally not afraid now.
But not being afraid does not mean accepting it well.
He lowered his eyes:
"Do not believe."
Yes, he never believed it.
The reason why I traveled thousands of miles across the ocean and risked huge risks to come to Ceylon was just to survive, and then——
revenge.
"Ha ha ha ha ha……"
The skeleton let out a vicissitudes of laughter: "You don't believe in the wealth here, but you still come to Ceylon, then you won't be able to survive on that continent, right?"
Andre said nothing.
The Silver Holy Sword Family killed all his parents and relatives, and he will never forget this hatred.
And under the hatred of such a famous Holy Family, if he did not leave the Shenghui Continent, there was indeed no possibility of his survival.
"So……"
The skeleton's voice was full of temptation: "Since you are destined to die, why don't you accept my inheritance?"
"I, the great alchemist Akabar, as long as you have my inheritance, you will also have your own holy legion."
Andre didn't speak. There was an unyielding fire in his eyes, and his free will was wavering.
Then, the alchemist slowly raised his hands.
The barren earth began to tremble, and something deep underground was awakening.
When the surface soil slowly scattered, skeletons crawled out of the ground one by one.
"When you practice the law into your bones, you will be able to do anything."
"Everywhere you step is your domain."
There was a dazzling white light in the sky.
A violent storm, thunder and lightning.
Andre knelt down slowly.
He turned the hilt of the sword upside down and put it against his forehead:
"I will give my freedom..."]
…
Writing this heart-warming plot, Li Yulong seemed to have been involved in this scene himself.
He has imagined countless times how majestic and spectacular it would be if it were made into a TV series.
Next, the protagonist will rely on resourcefulness and tenacity to win respect from the alchemist, and then...
"Li Yulong!"
Who is calling him?
"Lee! Jade! Dragon!"
Li Yulong came to his senses and took off his headphones in front of everyone in the computer room, only to see his girlfriend standing next to him, her eyes glaring at him, full of blazing fire.
"You bastard!"
My girlfriend’s eyes turned red: “We agreed that we would go out with me during the May Day holiday!”
"On the 1st, you said you had something to do, on the 2nd, you said you were making money, on the 3rd, you said you were in the recommendation position, on the 4th, you said you had a bonus, on the 5th, you said you wanted to save the manuscript, and on the 6th, you said you didn't save the manuscript properly!"
"Today is the seventh, you bastard!!!"
As my girlfriend talked, she cried angrily.
It was a great vacation, but she had to wait for her boyfriend in the dormitory for seven days!
For seven days, I didn’t have a chance to go out.
Wow……
I can’t have this dog man anymore, let’s break up!
…
Li Yulong came to his senses and quickly stood up, not forgetting to save the document in the writer's backend.
Looking in my girlfriend's eyes, I felt angry and bitter again.
He coaxed: "Don't cry, Lan Lan, isn't this for both of us?"
"As long as we work harder this month, we can get a lot of pocket money next month. I will buy you whatever you want by then."
"I bother!"
Lan Lan threw the bag in her hand at him.
"What I want is to fall in love! Not a cash machine! I will buy whatever I want. You obviously wrote it yourself!"
As he spoke, tears continued to flow out.
"Write during the day and write at night. Look at your current image in the mirror and tell me you look like a tramp. I don't want a boyfriend like this..."
As she said this, she felt the curious eyes from everyone in the computer room, covered her face, choked and ran outside.
Fortunately, it was a holiday and no one was in charge of the classroom. In addition, most of the people who came were playing games and their voices were louder than hers, so everyone didn't have any objections and just gossiped about it.
"Lanlan!"
"Lanlan!"
Li Yulong couldn't care anymore and hurriedly shut down the computer and turned around to chase his girlfriend again.
However, when I got out of the house, I found that she hadn't gone far, but was squatting at the door and crying.
…
"My friends heard that I was in love and they all said they wanted to see you... But I stayed with them day after day and never saw you... Don't you respect me at all? You don't have any respect in your heart.
You don’t care about me, do you?”
Li Yulong was anxious.
"no!"
"No!"
"Definitely impossible!"
He almost swore to God:
"What I care about most is you, Lan Lan, I was wrong."
He was so anxious that he was running around.
But my girlfriend was still crying and couldn't stop crying. Now when I touched her, I didn't even have a pocket on her body, let alone a tissue.
At this moment, the aunt standing at the intersection in front of her was handing out leaflets soullessly.
An idea struck him, and he immediately stepped forward to grab one.
"Hey, young man."
Auntie was suddenly robbed of a flyer, and she was still depressed at the moment: "If you want to tell me directly, I have 200 tasks today, and I can give you 100."
Why bother.
Ouch, this scared the auntie.
However, Li Yulong couldn't feel the aunt's enthusiasm. He hurriedly pointed to the huge subtitles above and showed it to his girlfriend:
"Lan Lan, look."
"What to look at"
After venting her anger, Lan Lan felt a little better when she saw her boyfriend was anxious. Now her eyes were filled with tears, and she could only vaguely see a flyer for selling a house.
"See? The house."
Li Yulong's IQ at this moment has reached an unprecedented peak in his life, and he is talking eloquently now.
"Look here, the newly opened property costs 800 yuan per square meter. It's the newly built unit community next to your house!"
Li Yulong's family comes from a rural area, and the conditions are not too bad. All the middle and high schools are sent to the city to attend school, but they live on campus.
But as for how good the conditions are, they are not.
On the contrary, Lanlan's parents both work, and she is the only child in the family, and their life is pretty good.
…
Li Yulong said sincerely: "Lan Lan, you are actually wronged when you fall in love with me."
"My family in the countryside doesn't have much money. When we get married, I'm afraid of wronging you, so I'm trying to make some money."
"look!"
Seeing that Lan Lan had stopped crying and her attention was obviously attracted by the flyer, he quickly struck while the iron was hot.
"Look at this apartment. You can design all the decorations yourself. Do you think it's good?"
"What should I do with this big balcony?"
Lan Lan looked at it for a while and couldn't help but follow his paintings. After a while, she even had a rough idea of the color of the curtains.
At this moment, he suddenly came to his senses. There were still tears on his face, but he stuffed the flyer into his boyfriend's arms and said angrily: "The house is not there yet."
She easily pulled off her boyfriend's bag that she was carrying stupidly and took out a tissue to wipe her face.
"Yes, Lan Lan."
Li Yulong quickly said: "When the time comes, we won't buy anything else. We will just buy the community next door to your house."
"It's eight hundred yuan per square meter. Buying a house of one hundred square meters only costs eighty thousand yuan. I heard that the down payment can be only ten thousand or two thousand yuan."
In the past, eighty thousand yuan was not considered "talent". For rural people, it was half a lifetime's income.
But since Li Yulong saw his royalties backstage, his vision has changed.
In the past, how could he have dared to say these words confidently?
"I will work hard to write more this month. By next month, the bonus plus subscription income may really reach 20,000 yuan."
"Even if it's not enough, I can borrow a little from my family to get enough for the down payment. If I keep writing every month in the future, I'll definitely have no problem paying off the loan."
He said sincerely: "Lan Lan, when the time comes, write our names, and it will be our house from now on. When we get married, our parents will see you when they go for a walk every day."
"How wonderful this is."
"Bah, who will give you our parents?"
Lan Lan blushed.
…
People who are passionately in love think about everything and have everything in place.
Lan Lan followed his words and couldn't help but think about it. Now she said shyly: "You...can really make enough money for the down payment this month."
Li Yulong quickly swore: "It will definitely work!"
Even if it's not enough, it's not much different. I'll borrow it from home when the time comes. No problem.
Lan Lan burst into tears and smiled, and now she hit her.
"It's a beautiful thought, and you're married... who will marry you?"
She sniffed again and said sheepishly:
"Then I won't disturb you this month. You can work hard. If it's not enough, I still have some New Year's money here, so I can give it to you."
Li Yulong looked at her affectionately:
"I made a mistake before. I shouldn't have delayed my date with you again and again... Well, I'm just a thousand words away from finishing it. I'll finish it when I go back tonight.
Let’s go out and have fun with you.”
He calculated: "From now on, I will try to spend all my free time with you during the day, and work harder on writing at night! In this way, it will neither delay you nor our future. What do you think?"
…
Lan Lan naturally had no objection.
Instead she felt a little guilty:
"Aren't you tired from doing this?"
As he spoke, he took the initiative to hold his boyfriend’s hand:
"Let's go, you don't have to go out with me today. You go back and finish writing the thousand words, clean up yourself, and have a rest."
Li Yulong couldn't help but touch his chin. The pricking and tugging feeling made his face change!
——Oh my god, was this how I looked in front of my girlfriend just now?!
Without saying anything, he quickly took Lan Lan to the boys' dormitory.
Alas, it would be extremely difficult for them boys to enter the girls' dormitory.
But when girls go to the boys' dormitory, they don't show any effort at all.
Li Yulong simply cleaned himself up, and then went back to the computer room to write the next plot.
In fact, his plot just now has ended, but now he is making money vigorously, and he feels uncomfortable if he doesn't write every day until he has no energy.
Therefore, when I finished writing in a hurry and didn’t check it yet, I felt uncomfortable and panicked.
In addition, there is still some sense of crisis.
After all, classes were about to start officially after the vacation, and he didn't have time to write from morning to night like this.
Third-rate universities also need to be serious about supporting students in class.
What's more, Li Yulong remembered the plan he had promised to Lan Lan before, spending time with his girlfriend during the day and coding seriously at night.
Let him write, and he can write until twelve o'clock.
But I don’t have a computer!
Nowadays, a cheap second-hand laptop costs several thousand yuan. This month’s manuscript fee is used to pay the down payment for the house. Do I have to save up to buy a computer next month?
There are so many places to spend money.
This is a great opportunity, so be sure to seize it.
Don't tell him that he won't risk his life or anything. There are thousands of people in this world. Some people want to risk their lives, but they don't have such a chance yet.
Li Yulong, who grew up doing farm work, knows this very well.
…
Lan Lan was sitting next to him, looking at him affectionately.
Her boyfriend is really handsome when he looks serious.
How could I be so discerning that I just fell in love and chose such a good and responsible guy?
Not long after we started talking, we started thinking about the house and the future...
She was intoxicated with herself for a while, feeling that she had a unique vision and could find such an outstanding boy in the vast sea of people...
However, as she looked at it, she felt something was not right.
——How long has it been?
Has it been an hour?
Why are you still writing?
Does it take so long to write a thousand words? Is it so hard to write a novel? But doesn’t Li Yulong brag about his speed?
Just as he was about to say something, he saw Li Yulong staring at the screen intently, but he was afraid of interrupting his inspiration——
I heard that a writer's inspiration is fleeting and cannot be interrupted easily.
At this moment, she could only take a deep breath and endure her emotions.
Slowly, it gets dark.
She couldn't bear it anymore.
"Dragon dragon..."
Lan Lan took a deep breath and gently tugged on the hem of Li Yulong's clothes.
"Don't make any noise..."
Li Yulong twisted slightly to avoid her hand. At this moment, his eyes were staring at the screen, almost shining, but his voice was so cold and ruthless——
