I really don't want to be a novelist

Chapter 376 "Shadow Empire" Finished Draft

The communication with the editor-in-chief Al is over.

Ji Zhuo turned his head again and looked at the computer screen which was still on.

Getting up early these days, I spent more time writing "Shadow Empire",
As of today, "Empire of Shadows" is finally finished.

Ritual, put his hand on the keyboard, paused, Ji Zhuo still typed out the last three words of the book,

"(End of book)"

Then I exported all the manuscripts, opened Penguin Chat, and sent the manuscripts to Carol.

"Clumsy and Uncommon: Empire of Shadows is finished.

Clumsy and extraordinary: this is the rest of the manuscript.

Clumsy and Uncommon: "Shadow Empire".txt"

Under Carol's 'concern' from time to time,

Most of the previous manuscripts for "Empire of Shadows" have been sent to Carroll,

It is also convenient for Burt Press to start translation and printing in advance.

This time, Ji Zhuo sent it with a Chinese version of "Shadow Empire".

It’s a crime to say it. A book Ji Zhuo is written twice in two languages. When writing the Chinese version, you have to pay attention to vocabulary.
In case any careful and loyal reader finds that the ABC and dog authors have similar wording habits.

I can only write another language version at night after the codewords are over every day.

It can only be said that fortunately Ji Zhuo's codeword speed is fast enough, and the plot of the train of thought is just to repeat the codeword content during the day and write it in another language.

Just like that, Ji Zhuo was almost exhausted.

"call……"

At this moment, looking at the manuscript that has been sent to the editor-in-chief Carol,

Ji Zhuo let out a long breath.

Then he relaxed, and the thoughts in his mind couldn't help but diverge.

The overseas publication of "The Shepherd Boy Seeking Immortals" under the name of the dog author has affected the popularity and sales growth of "The Ordinary and the Great".
The new book "Empire of Shadows" under the name of ABC will be released soon, so it must not affect the sales growth of "The Ordinary and the Great"?
And next, the new book under the name of the dog author?

Thinking about the communication with the former editor-in-chief Al,

Inexplicably, a miraculous picture appeared in Ji Zhuo's mind,

Two tall adults are beating a small and thin man,
There are two tall ones, one with 'ABC' written on their foreheads, and the other with "Dog Author" written on their foreheads.

The small and thin figure is 'I'.

The dog author and ABC were so crazy that they pushed I to the ground with a slap.

Then seeing that I was about to get up from the ground, the author of the dog pushed me down first,

Then ABC was pushed to the next level...just bullying I in turn,

Still saying,

"You are the sun, right? You are the sun..."

"Um……"

Ji Zhuo shook his head, preventing his thoughts from diverging further,

I didn't think about this inexplicable picture again.

But... how apt.

The authors of the two large ABCs and dogs jointly suppressed the small I,

Isn't that just bullying people?

Unfortunately, it's all me...

Ji Zhuo withdrew his divergent thoughts,

Looking back, I saw that Carol finally took over the news.

"Carol: Mr. I, I have received your manuscript!"

Seeing this news, Ji Zhuo got up, turned off the computer, and left it alone.

……

On the other side, Great Britain.

It's still morning.

At Burt Press, before Carol received the news,

Currently reading "The Ordinary and the Great".

He had almost finished reading this book two days ago, and he was going to finish it now.

It's not because he likes this book so much, but because he knows himself and the enemy well.

Well, not that he liked the book.

After all, although it is not comparable to Mr. A's works, it is almost at the same level as the author of the dog.

Still have to be on guard.

After reading "The Ordinary and the Great", he plans to read "The Shepherd Boy Seeking Immortals" by the author of the dog again.
Nothing, know yourself and know each other!

this time,
In the office, Carol is temporarily free,

Hold "The Ordinary and the Great" and continue to read,
His face says he knows himself and his enemy, but he is still immersed in the story when watching it.

……

"Ordinary and Great", the plot of the great chapter has progressed to,

Little Gerrit got one from his grandma Melia, about Walker, the dead child of Aunt Varina,

Two completely different statements from what his father said.

This made little Gerrit clear some doubts,
But there are more doubts,
These increasing doubts seem to have made him understand other doubts a little bit.

Grandma Valina, or Grandpa Burton may have brought Uncle Walker back from the doctor because he was reluctant to give up three silver coins.

It's like other residents in the village can't afford to send him to school like his father.

But why can't you bear it... It is obvious that Grandpa Burton and Grandma Valina's family has always been very prosperous.

If this is the case, why does Grandpa Gus still say that Uncle Burton is the most devout believer in the Lord,
The most devout believer, the most tolerant and merciful lamb, is that it?

Little Gerrit could not understand,

I also couldn't understand why Grandpa Gus said that Uncle Walker was invaded by demons because he was not pious...

in the book,

With these incomprehensible questions, little Gerrit continued to study in the school, which was about to end.
The person who charged the school reminded little Gerrit every day to pay the five silver coins fee for the next year in advance in order to continue studying at the school.

Little Gerrit could only be silent every time, but could not give an answer.

He just roughly knew that he might not be able to continue studying next year.

These days, he has been copying the church-related laws and regulations provided by the school,
At least know what is not allowed by the church, and in this way, he can tell his father, tell other residents in the village,

At least he can avoid things like his grandfather.

But this day,
Little Gerrit left school very late because of copying church laws,

His father Howth, when he came home from school with him,
But told a news he did not expect.

"...Father, these are the church decrees that I copied. I can read them to you one by one in the future. There are detailed punishments on it."

Little Gerrit took out the law he had copied and said to his father.

His father looked at him a long time, and then said to him,

"Little Gerrit, I will follow you to school tomorrow and pay for next year's fees for you, so you can continue studying in school."

"Father? Do we have five silver pieces?"

Little Gerrit was stunned.

But his father Huos didn't answer. He just held his shoulders and led him back home.

"Father? Father... Howth!"

Little Gerrit's voice grew louder,

Hoss turned his head and looked at Little Gerrit again.

"...Little Gerrit, keep your curiosity and questions, and continue to learn those knowledge, I hope you can answer those questions one day..."

Hoss said solemnly to little Gerrit with a serious face on his rough and sallow face.

Because this is something he had expected, but could not do.

……

"Perhaps, the greatness is not the little Gerrit who represents hope... but Hoth who gave birth to hope?"

"This rough, tanned Hoss who has turned from a half-grown child into a farmer?"

Seeing this, Carol as a reader couldn't help but think like this.

And just when he wanted to read on,
The special message alert on his computer settings sounded,
It's a message from Mr. A,
After reading the news and manuscripts sent by Mr. A,

Carol looked at "The Ordinary and the Great" that he hadn't finished yet,
On one side is "The Ordinary and the Great", which I plan to finish watching today, and on the other side is the plot behind "Empire of Shadows",

This is really uncomfortable.
