A healing writer? No, it's a depressing writer!

Chapter 192: The sad book is published, today will be recorded in history! This is the weight that life cannot bear! (5k)

Inside the chaotic and noisy Internet cafe.

A general public area at six yuan an hour.

An innocent girl who looked to be in her twenties stood behind a boy with a look of surprise on her face.

The boy was seen operating the mouse in his hand while controlling the chessboard on the computer, reciting the formula silently:

"Native hand, wonderful hand, common hand, giant killer, pearly gauntlet, watch me blow it with my spiritual wind."

"The bond brings luck, but I have no idea what to do. Lucky star Tam, shouldn't we take a gamble?"

"My life is like walking on thin ice. I will exchange ten years of Fatty's life for my last bond, Piggy Girl, Lucky Piggy Girl—"

“Show yourself!!!”

It is a bit strange to say that in an Internet cafe where a bunch of Internet-addicted teenagers and rough men hang out all year round, there can actually be someone like Chen Hanying, who is tall and elegant. Even in a place like CAFA where there are so many beautiful girls, she can be considered outstanding in appearance.

Godly beauty?

What is an Internet cafe?
That's a gathering place for a bunch of game geeks and losers wearing vests and slippers.

It is precisely because we don’t have any contact with girls in our daily lives, and our studies and work are quite stressful, that we can only come to this Internet cafe to play games when we want to relax.

Usually, when I was walking, I saw a sweet girl with good looks.

Otakus can all imagine a melodramatic drama of "A pure school beauty falls in love with me" out of thin air in their minds.

What's more, you were there and witnessed a beauty like Chen Hanying with your own eyes?

Ever since Chen Hanying entered the Internet cafe.

Immediately, it attracted the attention of many students surfing the Internet in the Internet cafe.

Although she was sitting in front of the computer, pretending to use the keyboard and mouse to play games, there were still many students who were surfing the Internet, intentionally or unintentionally glancing in her direction:

"This girl is really good looking"

Just as the otakus surfing the Internet were marveling at Chen Hanying's appearance.

In response to Chen Hanying's question:

"Is this the Go you were talking about???"

Jiang Hai was calm and his hands were not shaking. He answered confidently:
"Eight people gathered together to play chess. If this isn't Go, what else can we call it?"

"Who still plays traditional Go in this era?"

"Come, play two rounds of Teamfight Tactics with me."

The species in this world are always diverse.

In other words, this world is filled with all kinds of people.

When other people take girls out on dates, they usually go to places that are elegant, artistic, or petty bourgeoisie, such as concerts, art exhibitions, and aquariums.
But this idiot in front of me, he finally got a date with a beautiful girl, and then he brought her to the Internet cafe?

"How can a girl get used to staying in a place where we losers stay?" When others saw Chen Hanying and Jiang Hai talking, they expressed envy, but also some disdain in their words, "I'm not saying, this guy is also stupid."

Unexpectedly, before he could finish his words.

Then he saw Chen Hanying tidying up her clothes very obediently, and then sat directly next to Jiang Hai.
Seeing this scene, the guy who was just complaining was stunned:

"No way, this is even possible???"

There are roughly five things in life that can be called elegant things:

Enjoy tea.

Play the piano.

Burn incense.

Listen to the rain.

Play chess.

Smoking is prohibited in the Internet cafe area and it is not raining outside the window.

Burning incense and listening to the rain naturally cannot be achieved.

However, the other three elegant things can be enjoyed reluctantly.

Jiang Hai was seen sipping a large bottle of iced black tea that cost four yuan, stroking the Logitech k580 mechanical keyboard in his hand, and playing Teamfight Tactics on the Internet.

After a while, he seemed to be enjoying it quite a bit.

He slowly uttered a word:

"elegant!"

To be honest, growing up, I have been in rather chaotic places like Internet cafes.

Chen Hanying has really never been there in her life.

Born into an artistic family, Chen Hanying was asked by her parents to take various interest classes since she was a child. In addition to her major painting, she also learned piano, calligraphy, dance, go, equestrianism, guzheng, and golf.
A girl who comes from an artistic family and a very wealthy family.

I can't say I'm proficient in all of the arts, but at least I've dabbled in each of them.

This girl, who was full of artistic spirit and had never been to an entertainment place like an Internet cafe, felt that the first time she came to the Internet cafe was not chaos or noise, but she felt that everything around her was very special.
Extremely novel?
Sitting next to Jiang Hai, watching him chug the drink into his mouth, Chen Hanying suddenly felt a little doubtful:
"What are you drinking?"

"I drank tea."

As a traditional girl, Chen Hanying has done some research on the tea ceremony.

From Xinyang's Maojian to West Lake's Longjing.

From the silver needles of Junshan Mountain to the Maofeng tea of ​​Huangshan Mountain
No matter whether it is the top ten famous teas in China or the eight herbal teas in the ancient town, in her impression, any tea that can be named should not be like the tea in Jiang Hai's hand, which is packed in a plastic bottle?

"What kind of tea is this?"

"Iced red tea."

I treat three-dollar iced tea like a worn-out shoe, but I treat four-dollar iced tea like a delicacy.

As we all know, iced tea is a beverage that comes in small bottles and large bottles.

The three-yuan bottle of iced black tea contains 500 ml. On this basis, you only need to add one more yuan to get a large bottle of 1000 ml iced black tea.

"Three yuan is for face, four yuan is for life. It's not that I can't afford the small bottle, but the big bottle is more cost-effective."

It is precisely because you can get a 4ml bottle of super-large beverage for only 1000 yuan, which is even cheaper than buying mineral water. At one time, friends on the Internet jokingly called iced black tea -

Diaosi drinks!

"My friend and I usually drink this when we're surfing the Internet. Would you like some?"

Facing Jiang Hai’s enthusiastic inquiries.

This made Chen Hanying fall into deep thought:
"Tea for 4 yuan a liter?"

"Is this really drinkable?"

Usually, the tea that Chen Hanying and her elders drink at home is either Pu'er from Yunnan or Longjing from West Lake. These precious and famous teas are not only expensive, but also belong to——

Price but no market!

Even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it.

Chen Hanying, who was used to drinking tea that cost five figures per ounce, was a little worried about the quality of the tea when she heard that she could buy a liter of "tea" for only 4 yuan:

"Will this give you diarrhea?"

Chen Hanying is a very cultured girl at heart. Even if she has some doubts about the quality of tea, she would not just say it in person.

She smiled sweetly and waved towards Jiang Hai subconsciously:

"Thank you, I'm not thirsty."

Unexpectedly, she hadn't said anything yet.

"Why are you being so polite to me? It's not like I can't afford to drink!"

Jiang Hai waved his hand and shouted towards the cashier in a rather heroic manner:
"Network administrator, give me another bottle of iced black tea. I want a large bottle."

If you want to describe the taste of the "Diaosi Drink" iced black tea in one sentence, then this sentence should only be——

Horse urine at room temperature, iced Guojiao!
Dogs won’t drink the Diaosi drinks at room temperature. Even dogs will shake their heads when they see them.

But whenever it is a hot summer day, when the temperature is around 30 degrees, you suddenly take a sip of an iced drink. When your mouth and the iced drink combine perfectly, the cold touch penetrates every cell in your body. At this time, you will suddenly feel -

Cool!
Very cool!

"It's delicious!" As if opening the door to a new world, Chen Hanying first took a sip of the iced black tea and was immediately attracted by the unique taste.

Originally, I just wanted to have a taste.

But I really can't resist the unique taste of iced black tea.

Chen Hanying imitated Jiang Hai again, swallowed two small mouthfuls, and then looked surprised:

“Really delicious.”

If you want to pursue a girl, please remember the following two principles: If she is inexperienced, take her to see the world.

If her mood changes, take her to ride the merry-go-round.

If she is a good girl, you should try to lead her to be rebellious and do things that her parents usually don't allow her to do.

If she has been solo since birth, then you have to weave a love dream that is almost perfect for her.

If your family is flawed, you should try your best to show your warmth in details. If your partner is an independent and motivated woman, you should show your responsibility and commitment. Although it is a bit complicated, it can be summed up in one sentence -

Make up for what you lack.

You always have to take others to do something they have never experienced before in order to attract them.

A girl like Chen Hanying who comes from a wealthy family——

What haven't you seen?

What haven’t you experienced?
If you want to pursue someone, you must first take her to do something extraordinary.

Places like billiard halls and Internet cafes are not considered to be up to standard by my family.

Just take her with you and it's all over.

Sports like bungee jumping, skydiving, racing, and motorcycle travel that are dangerous but she has never experienced them.
Just take her to try it out.

Only by taking her to experience some sports that she has never been involved in before can she be impressed by you.

Of course, this is just the way ordinary people pursue girls.

Not applicable to rivers and seas.

After all, the reason why Jiang Hai brought Chen Hanying to the Internet cafe was not to let her experience a life she had never experienced before, but purely because -

He is addicted to the Internet and wants to go online!
"As scholars, our extracurricular activities should be more elegant." Jiang Hai held an iced tea in his hand and looked up at the Cloud Top Game in front of him, "Tea drinking, playing the zither, and chess."

“Neither one can be missing!”

Although the traditional meaning of playing chess is indeed Go, please don’t forget
Times are changing!
Go is a game of chess, so does that mean my electronic chess is not a game of chess?
Jiang Hai turned his head to look at Chen Hanying beside him:

“Have you ever been to the top of the cloud?”

"No." Chen Hanying shook her head honestly.

"Come, I'll teach you how to play Cloud Top. Let's play a game. Let's see if you have a talent for chess." Jiang Hai turned on the computer and explained to Chen Hanying the specific gameplay of [Cloud Top Tactics]. "Speaking of Cloud Top, the first thing I have to introduce to you is something called "lineup bond". Speaking of the word 'bond', I must introduce you to a fun game lineup-"

"The name of this lineup bond is, the Chosen Lucky Star."

Youth Foreword Magazine.

These days, students are starting school.

The sales volume of magazines and periodicals is gradually increasing at a steady but slow pace.

Ever since the serialization of "Dragon Tribe II: Eyes of the Mourner" ended in the "Youth Preface" magazine, the sales of each issue of "Youth Preface" has plummeted from 800,000 copies at its peak to 300,000 copies some time ago, which can be said to have barely stabilized.

In order to save the sales of "Youth Preface" which was on the verge of collapse, Editor-in-Chief Mo immediately found Jiang Hai to ask for an article and began to discuss the third part of the "Dragon Clan" series -

That is the specific release time of "Dragon Race III: Tides of Black Moon".

In the past few weeks, along with the return of "Long San", the sales of "Youth Preface" magazine have gradually started to grow slowly from the low point of 300,000 copies.

Three hundred and fifty thousand copies.

Four hundred thousand copies.

Four hundred and fifty thousand copies.

Basically, the sales of "Youth Preface" magazine have remained stable at around 500,000 copies in recent weeks.

Compared to the 800,000 copies sold during the peak period of "Preface to Youth", the sales of 500,000 copies per issue certainly sounds a bit meager.

However, looking at domestic magazines and periodicals, the magazine publishers that can sell 500,000 copies per issue——

There are only a handful of them!

Very few!

"In the past three weeks, the sales of each issue of our "Youth Preface" have been 150,000 more than the average sales of each issue of "Yilin"."

"Compared with the old magazine "Story Club", the sales volume of each issue is always ahead by about 25 percentage points."

"Youth Preface" has grown from a small and medium-sized magazine at the beginning to its current position step by step.

It has something to do with Editor-in-Chief Mo’s decisiveness!

Editor-in-Chief Mo fulfilled his original promise:

"It is our duty to restore the glory!"

"I will lead the Youth Foreword magazine——"

“Towards glory!”

Don’t even mention old-fashioned magazines like Yilin and Gushihui. Looking at the domestic market, just looking at the sales of periodicals—

Who can be the rival of "Preface to Youth"?

When it comes to magazines and periodicals, who can compare with "Youth Preface" in terms of influence in the country at the same time?

Nowadays, among the junior and senior high school students, everyone may not have bought the magazine "Youth Preface", but for the name of the book "Dragon Clan"——

You must have heard of it more or less?
The death of [Old Tang] in the first part did not cause much response from readers.

The death of [Xia Mi] in the second part really made students aware of this book.

It is precisely because of the success of "Little Dragon Girl Xia Mi" that the sales of "Youth Preface" magazine have more than tripled.

After the author [Yanyu Ru Jiangnan] officially announced that "Dragon Tribe III: Tide of the Black Moon" would continue to be serialized in "Youth Preface", many readers who read it swore -

“Life is hard enough. I don’t want my novel to be harder than my life or my fate!”

"If Dragon 3 continues with its usual style and continues to write plots that are too heavy for life to bear, Jiangnan Old Dog, then I will definitely turn from a fan to a hater, and from a hater to an inkler."

"The sword is not sharp and the horse is too thin. Do you want to continue fighting with me?"

"I have sharpened the knife. If you dare to abuse me again, I will definitely let you experience what it means to be 'the weight that life cannot bear.'"

Although the threat from readers is becoming more and more obvious.

But Jiang Hai is the author himself.

But there is still no intention of restraining.

It’s still the same as eating, drinking and sleeping, and the main thing is that he is heartless.

"We have divided the plot of the entire book "Dragon Tribe III: Tide of the Black Moon" into three parts: upper, middle, and lower, and will publish them in installments," the publishing editor told Chief Editor Mo about the recent publishing plan, "The main content of the upper part is--"

"A dragon's heartbeat signal was discovered in the Japanese waters. Principal Angers personally formulated the SS plan. The mixed-blood teenagers Caesar, Chu Zihang, and Lu Mingfei accepted a special mission and airborne to Japan."

Jiang Hai's grasp of readers' psychology is very accurate.

You want to kill someone?
First of all, you can't let people feel that you are going to kill someone.

You should hide your desire to kill people, create a wonderful and vast worldview for readers, and constantly set up hooks to lure readers to keep reading.

Then, when the readers are off guard, take the opportunity to stab them!

The first volume of "Dragon Tribe III: Tide of the Black Moon" tells the reason why the "Tokyo Chapter" is opened. An extremely powerful dragon is hidden in Tokyo. In order to maintain the stability of the world, Kassel Academy arranges a series of freshmen to go to Tokyo to carry out the dragon-slaying mission.
The first volume of "Ryuzo" will not let readers notice that there is anything wrong.

However, in the middle volume of "Ryuzo", with the appearance of the head of the Uesugi family of the Snake Eight Families [Uesugi Eriya], the plot of the whole book, which had originally maintained a bland tone,

This will also usher in an extremely important turning point!
"Editor-in-Chief." The publishing editor looked at Editor-in-Chief Mo with some concern, "Should we still publish the second volume of Dragon III as is?"

The appearance of Eri is a key node in the direction of the plot of the entire book "Ryuzo".

Once the second volume is released, the subsequent plot cannot be changed. In simpler terms -

This is destined to be a tragedy!

As if he had already prepared himself mentally, Chief Editor Mo took a deep breath, then nodded resolutely to the publishing editor:

"hair!"

Be it a comedy or a tragedy.

No matter whether he is healing or killing people.

In short, anything that helps me sell books, anything that helps my magazine sales—

Then none of this matters!
There is no turning back once you start working, just get it done!

While thinking, Chief Editor Mo did not forget to ask the publishing editor:
"Besides our "Youth Preface", what other magazines and periodicals are popular in the current book market?"

The publishing editor hesitated for a moment, then took out his tablet and began to show the recent market research to Editor-in-Chief Mo:
"In addition to "Dragon Clan", the most discussed novels by readers recently include a realistic literary work -"

"This book is called The Crucible."
