Chapter 176 The Counterattack of the Genius Book Appraiser
Yufeng Fiction Academy, Class 107 of the Appreciation Department.

Liu Xing sat on a seat in the corner and was listening to a class.

The teacher who taught the class was a master of plot genre, his name was Ouyang Ji, he was over 70 years old this year, and he was a specially hired professor from the Western China of Yufeng Fiction Academy.

Today's class is "The Science of Plot Attraction".

"I said in the last class that whether a novel has a sense of substitution depends on whether the novel is attractive. If the attraction is large, the sense of substitution will be strong; if the attraction is small, the sense of substitution will be weak. There are many sources of attraction It can come from the characters of the novel, the plot of the novel, the environment of the novel, the idea of ​​the novel, or even from the text itself of the novel.”

Professor Ouyang Ji said, "Today, we will start to learn about the attractiveness of the plot. According to the novel theory of the plot genre, the plot can be divided into two categories, one is positive plot and the other is negative plot. Positive plot has positive plot. Attraction, negative plot is negative attraction. Negative attraction, also known as repulsion."

"An excellent plot flow novel lies in how to balance the transformation of positive and negative plots. As book appraisers, we know how to calculate the attractiveness of each plot point, so as to judge the sense of substitution of the novel. Alright, everyone open On the first page of the "Plot Attraction" textbook, we will now explain the first section, how to analyze the force of the plot..."

woohoo!

The 49 students in the class opened their textbooks one after another.

There is only one exception, Liu Xing.

He has just entered school, and has not received any textbooks yet, and the desk is empty.

At this time, an obese man in the nearby seat suddenly stood up, walked to the seat next to Liu Xing, and said, "Boss Liu, you don't have any textbooks? Just make do with me and read together for now?"

After finishing speaking, the fat man put the "Plot Attraction" textbook in his hand on Liu Xing's desk, and then sat with Liu Xing.

The fat man is about 23 years old, 1.82 meters tall, and weighs nearly 200 kilograms. His name is Zhang Haoran.

"You know me?" Liu Xing was surprised.

Zhang Haoran smiled and said, "Of course I do. I bought several novels at your Meteor Book Bar, and I still have a VIP membership card for Meteor Book Bar."

Liu Xing suddenly realized.

The two chatted a few words in a low voice, then shared a textbook together and began to listen to the class.

In fact, for Liu Xing, it doesn't matter whether there are textbooks or not, he doesn't understand anyway. "Plot Attraction" is a subject that Liu Xing has never touched, and it sounds like a bible.

"Everyone pay attention, in this plot, the potential energy of the fourth plot point of the fourth plot line is 4 joules, and the potential energy of the fifth plot point drops to 7600 joules. The plot potential energy is transformed into plot kinetic energy, and the rhythm of the novel advances rapidly."

"We have used the plot matrix to calculate the quality of the plot points before. According to the calculation according to the standard psychological function of Chinese citizens, we can know that the attraction of the fifth plot point is 5 horses. However, the plot is not isolated. The fourth plot Line and the fifth plot line need to be analyzed at the same time, according to the second law of Ma Xingkong, the inertia of reading needs to be taken into account."

"At the same time, the text summoning structure composed of two plot lines will form an implicit centripetal force, which requires the use of the discrete plot algorithm we mentioned earlier..."

Professor Ouyang Ji took a mystery novel named "The Strange Case of the Police" as an example, and continued to explain the attractiveness of the plot.

More than 40 students in the class listened very attentively, and from their expressions, they seemed to understand everything.

Liu Xing was confused.

"The courses in the Appreciation Department are really boring. The introductory courses are already so obscure. No wonder it takes ten years to learn something."

Liu Xing thought secretly, he was not going to delve into these cumbersome book appraisal theories, and there was no need to learn these theories bit by bit.

He has a more efficient way of learning - ecstatic novels!
If he can find a novel about the book appraiser, Liu Xing can directly transplant the memory information about the book appraiser from the novel.At that time, Liu Xing may suddenly have more than ten years of knowledge reserves of book appraisers.

This is a quick guide for a book appraiser!

Therefore, finding more good novels is the kingly way.

Good novels come from excellent writers, and it is necessary to get to know some top writers, and this is the most important purpose of Liu Xing's coming to the Fiction Academy.

After an hour, the lecture was finally over.

Professor Ouyang Ji said: "This week's homework is to practice plot analysis. After you go back, you will analyze the plot attraction of "Book Tomb Notes" Chapter 1, and you must write a detailed analysis process."

The students nodded.

"Okay, this class ends here first, and I will introduce a new student to you." Professor Ouyang Ji pointed to Liu Xing in the corner, and introduced to the students in the class, "From today, Liu Xing will become a new student." A member of Class 107 of the Book Appraisal Department, he was specially recruited today. Liu Xing has an excellent intuition for reading books. In the past year, he has found nearly 40 star-rated novels from waste books. Among them , "Book Tomb Notes" was discovered by Liu Xing..."

Hearing this, some students in the class who didn't know at first cast strange glances at Liu Xing.

The influence of "Notes on the Tomb of the Book" is self-evident. The Reading Alliance spent 10 billion yuan to develop the book coffin detection stick and formed hundreds of book-hunting teams, all of which originated from this novel.

"The most important duty of a book appraiser is to find good books." Professor Ouyang Ji said, "Student Liu Xing discovered nearly 40 star-rated novels in one year, and this number ranks first in Tianhai City. Learn the experience of appreciating books from him..."

"..." Liu Xing suddenly felt pressured, he couldn't understand these lessons in the course.

……

The students of the School of Fiction are still very friendly. After class, most of the students in the class came over to say hello to Liu Xing enthusiastically.

"Boss Liu, we are all in the same class. Should we give each of us a VIP membership card for Meteor Book Club?"

"That's right, if I buy books in the future, I will look for Meteor Books, remember to give us a discount, hee hee."

……

Amidst the laughter, Liu Xing and more than a dozen students in the class left the teaching building together and went to the bosom friend club.

The Bosom Friends Appreciation Book Club is one of the most famous clubs in the School of Fiction. It was founded by students from the Book Appreciation Department. The main job of the club is to appraise novels for students from other departments of the School of Fiction for free.

There are more than 200 members in the bosom friend appreciating books club, and the headquarter of the club is located in No. 101 book appraising room on the first floor of the library of the School of Fiction.

Walking into the reading room, Liu Xing saw nine high-speed computers inside, and many people were busy.Some are operating computer appraisal books, some are in charge of registering the names of works, and some are sorting out appraisal reports of novels.

Although all members of the club are students of the Book Appraisal Department of the Fiction Academy, their degrees are different, and the level of book appraisal is naturally different.

Like ordinary universities, Fiction College is divided into bachelor's (undergraduate), master's and doctoral students.

Generally, only book appraisers with a master's degree or above have the ability to independently appraise books.

Class 107, where Liu Xing is now, is a first-year undergraduate freshman. The students in the class are not yet able to appreciate books. Therefore, they can only do some miscellaneous tasks in the club, such as registering works, organizing files, and moving books, etc. .

As soon as they entered the reading room, Zhang Haoran and a dozen other students from Class 107 began to move the books.

Liu Xing was really not interested in moving books, so he wandered around in the library.There are thousands of novels waiting to be identified in the library, most of which are created by students from the Writing Department of the School of Fiction.

Therefore, as long as you stay in this club, you can get in touch with students from the writing department every day.

"This classmate, which class are you in? Why do you look like you're doing nothing?"

Liu Xing was strolling, when suddenly a man came over. The man was about 32 years old, wearing a pair of glasses, and looked very gentle.

The man's name was Li Zhigang, he was a master's student in the Department of Book Appreciation, and he was also the deputy head of the bosom friend's book appraisal society.

"I'm from class 107." Liu Xing said truthfully.

"Class 107? New students?" Li Zhigang, deputy head of the group, said, "Since you are a freshman, I will be responsible for moving books first..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Haoran on the side had already stepped forward and helped explain: "Senior Li, his name is Liu Xing, and he is new here today. Liu Xing is a special student of the School of Fiction and has extraordinary ability to appreciate books. Ouyang Ji The professors say that Liu Xing is a genius book appraiser, so asking him to move books is too incompetent, isn't it?"

"Genius book appraiser?" Li Zhigang, deputy head of the group, smiled faintly, "Book appraisers have to study hard for at least ten years, and a freshman who doesn't understand anything is a genius book appraiser? First-year freshmen have to start by moving books, That's how everyone came here, don't say that you can't give in to your talents..."

Zhang Haoran explained again: "Senior Li, Liu Xing is a special recruiter, and the college has special care. Besides, Liu Xing is the owner of Meteor Book Bar and a committee member of Fiction Street. It's not appropriate to ask him to help move books, right?"

As soon as Zhang Haoran finished speaking, many members of the Appreciation Club around him showed surprise.

"Liu Xing is really amazing. He became a committee member of Fiction Street at such a young age. Cheng said that his net worth is over ten million!"

"Our Appreciation Department has a great bookseller, it seems that buying books will be much more convenient in the future, haha!"

"Meteor book? I'll have a chance to read it later."

……

Li Zhigang's face changed slightly when he heard the comments from the students around him. As the deputy head of the club, he was a bit uncomfortable after being upstaged by a first-year freshman.

Li Zhigang smiled again and said: "It turned out to be Commissioner Liu Xing, disrespectful and disrespectful. However, moving books is the rule of the Zhiyin Jianshu Association, and there is no rule without rules. We can't break the rules of the association just because of you. dont you agree?"

As soon as he said this, the atmosphere in the reading room suddenly became a little sparkier.

Many people could see that Li Zhigang, the deputy head of the group, seemed to want to give Liu Xing, a freshman, a blow.
At this moment, a beautiful figure walked into the reading room. Everyone turned their heads and saw a young girl walking in.

The girl is about 20 years old, wearing clothes as white as snowflakes, elegant and natural, and looks quite seductive.

As soon as the girl came out, many boys in the reading room immediately focused their eyes on her.

They all recognized that this girl was Zhang Yaxin, the most beautiful female writer in the writing department.

"Senior Li, has the appraisal of my novel "Night Ranger" been completed?" After entering, Zhang Yaxin asked cautiously.

The voice is sweet but not greasy, soft but not flattering, very pleasing to the ear.
"It turned out to be Junior Yaxin, and the novel has been appraised." Li Zhigang went to the bookcase, took down a novel appraisal report, and handed it out with a gentlemanly smile on his face, "Junior Yaxin, your book "" I personally appraised "Night Ranger", and the rating is one star."

"Is it still a one-star?" Hearing this, Zhang Yaxin's crescent-like eyebrows frowned slightly, and her fair cheeks revealed a gloomy look, "It has been revised more than ten times, why is it still a one-star?"

Li Zhigang said with a smile: "All good works are edited. Girl Yaxin, how about this, let's have a chat at the coffee shop of the School of Fiction at [-] o'clock tonight, and I will give you some suggestions for amendments."

Zhang Yaxin pursed her cherry mouth: "Is this too much trouble for you?"

Li Zhigang said with a smile: "No trouble, it's my honor to exchange creative experience with Yaxin junior. That's it, at eight o'clock tonight, we'll see you at the coffee shop."

Zhang Yaxin thought of something, and said, "By the way, Senior Li, can you return the original manuscript of "Night Ranger" to me?"

"Of course." Li Zhigang turned his head and ordered Liu Xing, "Student Liu Xing, please give Yaxin the manuscript of "Night Ranger". The manuscript is in the No. 1 shelf of the No. 19 bookcase."

After listening, the hearts of some students around couldn't help but tense. Li Zhigang, deputy head of the group, ordered Liu Xing in front of Yaxin, which was obviously still a rivalry with Liu Xing.

However, to everyone's surprise, Liu Xing actually went to No. 1 bookcase without saying a word, and found the manuscript of "Night Ranger".

After receiving the manuscript, Liu Xing did not hand it to Zhang Yaxin immediately, but started to read it in his hand.

A message flooded into my head.

[Book Title] "Night Ranger"

[Type] Biographical Fiction

【Grade】Three-star
[Matching degree] 25.4%
Three Star?
Liu Xing frowned slightly: Strange, this "Night Ranger" is obviously a three-star, how can this kid Li Zhigang be a one-star?

Calculation error?

Unlikely!

The quality difference between three-star and one-star is very obvious. Li Zhigang is a master student in the Department of Book Appreciation, and has studied book appraisal for more than ten years, so he would not make such a low-level mistake.
So, did Li Zhigang do it on purpose?

Thinking of this, Liu Xing basically understood the situation.

It is very likely that Li Zhigang deliberately miscalculated the level of the novel, and then took the opportunity to provide Zhang Yaxin with suggestions for revising the novel.In this way, Li Zhigang and Zhang Yaxin can have more dating opportunities.

"Student Liu Xing, why are you so dawdling?" Li Zhigang urged in a low voice, "I let you take the manuscript, but didn't let you read it, why don't you give it to Junior Yaxin..."

"Senior Li, it's okay, I'm not in a hurry." Zhang Yaxin said softly.

Liu Xing continued to read the manuscript slowly, and after a few minutes, he suddenly said: "This "Night Ranger" is probably not a one-star novel, but a three-star novel!"

Hearing this, Li Zhigang's face froze immediately!
