No one understands rebirth better than me

Chapter 43 The Master

What Guan Ren was thinking of as "watered-down" writing now was certainly not a malicious or perfunctory attempt to fill the novel with water.

After all, he is still young.

I am not very interested in becoming a civil servant at the moment.

Even if you are interested, "The Supreme Confucianism" is not a good subject for civil servants.

Guan Ren just happened to discover a small problem when he was reviewing the plot of "Confucianism and Taoism".

That is, the current main plot of "The Supreme Confucianism and Taoism" is too compact and lacks buffer and transition. In the long run, this is actually not a good experience for readers.

So Guan Ren perked up on the spot and angrily wrote 20,000 words.

But it is not the main storyline, but some descriptions of daily life or certain aspects of welfare.

Then divide it into 10 chapters and insert them into the existing manuscripts according to the rhythm.

In this way, if there is more content, the accumulated drafts will be enough, and Guan Ren can have a good National Day.

Of course, the word "water" here is just a joke.

Because even for orthodox fantasy novels, some adjustments to daily content are necessary.

If it is placed in the daily urban literature, there is no such thing as water. There is no main line, it is all daily life, so that readers can relax leisurely after getting tired of the "big fish and meat".

So strictly speaking, Guan Ren’s content about “water” benefits both himself and his readers, which is a win-win situation.

----------

After adjusting the content of the novel, Guan Ren began to formally learn about computer hardware and mobile phone news on websites such as Zhongguancun.

I have to say that the amount of information is still very large.

And some of the parameters have no concept to Guan Ren anymore.

For example, the display.

The highest-end products on the market are basically only 1080P.

But Guan Ren's eyes have already taken on the shape of 4k.

I can still bear it in the Internet cafe, but if I buy a new one myself, it will be really uncomfortable, but I can only frown and put it aside.

It's like in some romance animations, when the wife comes back from a business trip with her boss and forces a smile to say to her husband, "It's okay, it's fine."

“1080P is actually pretty good…”

Anyway, even the best graphics card this year may have difficulty running 2k.

As for mobile phones...

There are actually very few choices.

There are only a few flagship models, and Guan Ren has no choice either.

According to his plan, he wants to buy two.

In addition to an Android phone that I am more accustomed to, I also want to buy an Apple phone for my family.

"Today is October 1st... Steve Jobs will die in four days..."

Guan Ren calculated on his fingers and decided that there was no rush. He could buy a 4S when the time came. It’s better to buy new than old.

He still remembers this incident very clearly.

At that time, everyone thought that iPhone 5 was going to be released, but the term "4s" suddenly popped up, which caused a lot of complaints.

Until soon, someone gave "4s" the interpretation of "For Steve" to commemorate Steve Jobs, and then things were different.

"Anyway, the manuscript fee won't be paid until after National Day, so it's pointless to think about it now. Let's eat first."

After coding for 2 words, Guan Ren felt hungry. He looked at the time and it was 5:30 in the afternoon.

For ordinary people, it is actually not a "standard" meal time.

But it was just right for Guan Ren.

--------

You know, Guan Ren’s favorite thing in life is to avoid peak hours and enjoy delicious food.

Especially for those popular stores, the product quality may not be stable during peak periods.

In this case, staggered travel is undoubtedly the best option.

But it’s best not to go after the peak, as it’s easy to pick up leftovers at that time, and some soupy types won’t taste good when they’re cold.

Don't go too early before the peak.

If you go too early, the food may not be ready yet.

Especially for some things that need to be cooked through properly, if you go too early, the boss will barely be able to serve them.

So like now, around 5:30 pm is often the best time for dinner.

……

"Cannon five to four!"

"Rook 2 level 7~"

When leaving the community gate, Guan Ren saw Uncle Lin playing chess with someone again.

And the fever came back again.

The braised egg on his neck also turned into a braised one. The other old man sitting opposite him was smiling and arrogant. When he saw Guan Ren appear, he pointed at the chessboard cheerfully:

"That kid called Guan Ren, come and see, your uncle is not good enough, quickly teach him a few moves."

"?"

Guan Ren looked surprised. How did this strange old man know his name?

But if you take a closer look, it's actually not unfamiliar.

Guan Ren took a look at his clothes. Wasn’t this the guy who was playing chess with Uncle Lin early in the morning during his morning run one day?

Early in the morning, seeing the two old men wearing such thin clothes, Guan Ren secretly sighed that they had very strong physical fitness.

When he got a little closer and took a closer look, Guan Ren was even more shocked:

"Are you... Doctor Francis?"

At noon when Guan Ren went to eat rice noodles with his deskmate, [Lao Bing You Cha] was closed and he asked for leave, and he wrote very specifically [Go to Francis to get medicine].

However, Guan Ren had not noticed before that Mr. Fang had a good relationship with Mr. Lin, the security guard of his community.

"young people."

Fang Ji pressed a cannon on the chessboard and looked at Guan Ren with a kind look:

"you know me?"

"Oh, that's what you said."

Guan Ren smiled and nodded, bowing slightly to show respect:
"It doesn't matter how old you are. Everyone in Jiangzhou County knows you, Doctor Fang. Besides, you saved my friend's life."

"Oh?"

When these words came out, not only Fang Ji, but also Uncle Lin raised his head with great interest:
"What? What's the story? Guan Ren, tell me what it is. I want to hear it."

"Uh... this... is a long story."

"Then please make your story short."

"..."

Guan Renxin said, "I'm starving. I should have just walked away with my head down. But this old man insisted on hearing a story..."

It would be fine if it was only Uncle Lin. Guan Ren is familiar with him and would just say "I'm busy" and run away.

But since Francis was present, Guan Ren was actually willing to give him face.

After all, he is Zhang Chi's savior.

"It's like this, I have a childhood friend, when we were little..."

So Guan Ren told him the story in general.

……

In fact, when he was a child, Zhang Chi contracted diphtheria. He was hungry, thirsty, in pain, and unable to eat.

At that time, transportation and other conditions were not good. To treat this disease, one had to go to the city for acupuncture, which cost 500 yuan per injection. Zhang Chi's parents had no money at the time, and they finally managed to get a few injections, but it was of no use.

In the end, they cried and screamed, thinking that the child was going to die. As a last resort, they went to see Francis, who prescribed some medicinal herbs for him. Some of them were ground into powder, and some were boiled into decoction. After taking two doses, Zhang Chi recovered immediately.

From then on, Fang Ji became Zhang Chi's savior.

Although Guan Ren was young during that time, he spent time with his good brother whenever he had time, so he basically understood everything and naturally respected Fang Ji.

……

"Fang? Is this true?"

"Well, I do have some impression..."

After the story was told, seeing some reminiscence on Fang Ji's face, Uncle Lin's curiosity was satisfied, and Guan Ren prepared to slip away.

In the end, Uncle Lin still tried to keep him:

"Tsk! What are you so anxious about? Playing with Lao Fang is boring. Why don't you play a game with me?"

"You have to be impatient, sir. You have to eat while the food is hot and eat it early. That's what it means to enjoy life."

Uncle Lin had also lost a lot and wanted to get back at Guan Ren, so he shook his head and advised:

"Alas, as the saying goes, those who endure the most hardships will rise to the top. Why are you so young and greedy for such a little enjoyment?"

"Uncle Lin, you are wrong. You are what you eat. Suffering won't make you a superior person, but eating people will."

Guan Ren made a casual excuse and then ran away quickly.

Little did he know that Francis behind him was staring at his back in astonishment for a long time.

"Suffering doesn't make you a superior person, eating people does... hehe..."

Uncle Lin smiled as he muttered, and finally looked up at Fang Ji:

"What do you think? I told you, this guy is a little special, right? I have a reason for liking him, right?"

"..."

Francis nodded slowly with admiration in his eyes.

It's a bit short because my computer broke down. I used to have another one, but I had to buy a new one. I can only type on my tablet these past two days.
