Rebirth 08: Equipment God

Chapter 111 Why isn’t it considered buy one get one free?
In the following four days, apart from his daily morning jog, Zhai Da spent most of his time writing.

He writes very quickly, with the support of basic writing style, reference to a clear structure, and Lu Wei by his side to "enjoy the eyes and add fragrance".
The most important thing is that [the pen of the literary girl] can constantly inspire emotions and continue ideas, which can be said to be efficient and high-quality.

After the broadband was activated, he also carefully adjusted the playlist in [Dynamic MP3], with functionality as the guide, deleted unnecessary love songs, and added a lot of "pure music".

Without the influence of lyrics, each piece of music can provide pure emotions.

When he encounters content with clear "emotional characteristics" such as sensationalism, joy, sadness, etc., he will use [Dynamic MP3] to buff himself before writing.

With the help of two plug-ins, my speed has skyrocketed. I can write more than 10,000 words by hand in a day, and even more when I am in good condition.

It's better than some clumsy authors in later generations who just type on the keyboard.

With the second half of 6 to 8 words, he completed the book completely on the fourth night. After a preliminary proofreading, he rode his -inch bicycle, which he had free time on the weekend, to the post office early the next morning.

On the way there, a gentle breeze blew on his face, and Zhai Da felt a sense of satisfaction at having completed an important task.

Once the second half of the book is mailed out, given the lack of principles of editor-in-chief Lou En, he can basically claim to be a "writer" in advance.

He is quite confident in the quality of "The Long and Long Journey".

If the first half of this book has some light comedy elements, the second half is much more profound.

Like many stories, comedy is the foreplay of tragedy, and tragedy is the core of comedy.

The hero and heroine met because of the "marriage and kidney seeking" video and the resonance of "fellow patients", and finally got together after many coincidences and misunderstandings.

But they gained spiritual support from each other, but also had more entanglements and concerns, and were filled with discussions and compromises about life and death.

For example, after the hero confirms that he can entrust his family to the heroine, he plans to undergo passive treatment, which can not only free himself from the disease, but also allow the heroine to get a kidney transplant as soon as possible and save money for the family.

But it is obvious that the heroine will not agree, and she threatens to divorce and refuse to accept a kidney in order to force the hero to accept treatment. But when she turns around, she cries in the middle of the night, waiting for her own slow death.

Of course, love is not everything in this story. Other patients waiting for transplants, the painstaking efforts of parents on both sides, and the unequal exchange of money and life are all involved.

This "real prototype" of this story has not yet happened, and it has a happy ending in which both of them successfully fight the disease. Although the later movie used some tricks, it also gave a good ending.

But Zhai Da said: I won’t!
What is a masterpiece? Can a work that makes you laugh while reading it be called a masterpiece?

Why is Romeo and Juliet so popular? Is it because Juliet is thirteen years old?
Why is Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai so popular? Is it because of "Brother, you smell so good"?

So in Zhai Da's version of the story, his plan is:

Encouraged by the heroine, the male protagonist with brain cancer underwent a craniotomy with a success rate of only 17%, and left a suicide note just in case.

He stayed in the ICU for 27 days after the operation before waking up. However, he was told that his wife, Lin Manman, who had accompanied him in fighting the disease, had died because her condition deteriorated rapidly and she did not wait for a kidney.

The doctor once advised her to give up treating the male protagonist, who had little hope of waking up, so that at least one person could survive.

She is his wife and is legally qualified to make the decision to "forgo treatment."

But the heroine refused. She was unwilling to give up even one in ten thousand hope. Her only request was to be in the bed next to the hero when she was admitted to the ICU.

The heroine just lay beside the hero, gazing at him affectionately, and persisted in the pain for a week.

But until his death, the hero never woke up.

He tilted his head and closed his eyes.

After hearing this story, the first question the male protagonist asked was:

"Who is Lin Manman?"

Finally, at the funeral, the male protagonist read out two suicide notes with the emotions of a stranger, the identity of a husband, and the compassion of a survivor.

Lin Manman is dead.

Lin Manman's Lu Tu also died.

Only the male protagonist who has lost his memory is welcoming a new life alone.

This is the end of the story.

If the story is told in a straightforward manner, it may not be that exciting, and even "amnesia" is not new.

But don't forget, this was written with cheating.

[Dynamic MP3] mobilizes emotions, [Literary Girl's Pen] injects emotions, sad BGM starts
Left foot on right foot, spiral up to heaven. Zhai Da himself even had his eyes red from writing about it.

The author is like this, and readers can't sleep at night after reading it. It's not too much to waste two packs of paper, right?
When he thought that countless readers would be deceived to tears by him, Zhai Da stood up excitedly and pedaled his bicycle hard.

While waiting for the red light, Zhai Da took the time to send a message to editor-in-chief Lou En and his partner Lu Siwen. The former informed the other party that it would be mailed today, and the latter informed her that she could start publishing the first half of the content on the "Bed Explorer" blog.

It can be as short as a few hundred words or as long as one or two thousand words, and it is published every other day, just in time for the physical version to be released.

After activating the "Magic Outfit", Zhai Da can already control the spotlight effect of [Joker Poker], and can specifically decide which cards are "valid" or "invalid". This also meets the needs of a magician, allowing the audience to see what they want to see and ignore what they should not see.

It just so happened that the photos that had been sent out before had already shown signs of "spreading" on the Internet, so Zhai Da closed all the cards involved in the original photos in the equipment list and re-photographed two new ones to be used exclusively for future blog content.

The Queen of Hearts and the King of Spades are physically watermarked and signed with the pseudonym "Bed Explorer".

He didn't have this awareness before, but if he uses it on the Internet in the future, he will do the same. In this way, he won't care even if it spreads again, he will just regard it as a passive increase in fame.

In terms of popularity alone, as long as it is recognizable, everyone on the Internet will want to repost it, just like celebrity photos.

When he was about to arrive at the post office, Zhai Da's cell phone vibrated slightly. It was a call from the "literary girl".

"Student Zhai, did you keep a copy?"

"Of course, I kept two copies."

I am most afraid of losing handwritten materials, so all my work results from the past few days are in my notebook.

If it is lost, I don’t know whether the readers will cry or not. They will be depressed to death.

"Can I have a copy? My dad and I want to see it in advance so that we don't leak any information."

Zhai Da locked the car and said, "Aren't we going to school to estimate our scores tomorrow? I'll bring it to you tomorrow."

On the other side of the phone, Lu Siwen looked at his expectant father and said, "Can we do it today?"

"today?"

Half an hour later, when Zhai Da finished mailing the copy for Lou En and walked out of the post office, a Bentley was already parked at the door.

Obviously, the Mercedes-Benz S50 that he usually sees is just one of the Lu family's luxury cars.

A middle-aged man who looked like a driver came down from the cab, and when he saw Zhai Da, he trotted over:
"Hello, Mr. Zhai. I'm Xiao Wang, Mr. Lu's driver."

Zhai Da thought to himself, uncle, you can make great progress. The two words "Mr. Zhai" did not sound out of place at all.

It is recommended to be included in the Beijing Film Academy textbooks.

The driver, who was about the same age as Yu Xiaoli, said, "Boss Zhai, Boss Lu said he wants to pick up something from you."

Zhai Da handed the brown paper bag under his armpit to the other party: "This is it. Sorry for bothering you to make the trip."

The driver carefully put it away and said, "No trouble, no trouble! It's all work. Where are you going next? I'll give you a ride."

Zhai Da looked at his 28-inch bicycle and waved his hand, saying, "No need, I can walk on my own."

After all, there's not enough space in the trunk.

The driver didn't ask any more questions, but opened the door of the Bentley and took out a box: "Mr. Lu is in a hurry, so I won't bother you. This is a small gift from Mr. Lu, please accept it."

Zhai Da looked at the not-so-small box.

Printed on the front is: "IBM"/"ThinkPad X200".
"Isn't this appropriate?"

The driver had obviously been trained in gift-giving skills. He took Zhai Da's hand and grabbed it directly by the handle:

"Oh~ Mr. Zhai! These are just some worthless local specialties. Ahem, I mean, these are just some gifts from Mr. Lu. He said that you just finished the college entrance examination and you need these."

This is true. These days, many families feel that laptops are a necessity for college students. As a financially independent elder and a senior writer, it is not out of place for Lu Zetao to give this thing as a gift.

As for the price, it is not something people care about.

Without giving Zhai Da time to refuse, the driver left like a gust of wind.

Zhai Da carried the box for a long time.
Why isn't this considered a "buy one get one free" deal?
