Chapter 3183: Sneaking into the Night with the Wind

Whats the use of pity? If it doesnt make money, even a G.o.d cant do anything about it!

Zhang Daniu was even drunker. His eyes bulged as he tapped the clay pot with a bone. He spoke incoherently, Speaking of which, being an online writer is really the most bitter profession in the world. It cant even be called a profession at all. Its just that In the early years, it was said that those who sold their art under the overpa.s.s were of the lower cla.s.s. It was lively. There were many who applauded and shouted. There were few who had the support of real money. When the Emperor pa.s.sed away, he didnt even let you sell it. Who knows, he might have violated some taboo. This thing how can it be justified?

As you said, the feeling of being torn apart before and after is especially serious. I like to watch the front, not the back. I like to watch the back, and I dont like to watch the front. This saying is completely correct. Thats why, ever since the 400-500 chapters changed styles, my grades have been sliding down. At the very least, my family wouldnt be hungry if I ate to my hearts content, and I could also pay rent. Recently, my grades have been getting worse and worse.

I also know that I cant write like this. Readers read books to relax, to have fun, and to have fun. Who would be willing to spend money to watch you sit there and discuss the justice of dozens of chapters? Society, the future, and so on, right? So if I continue writing like this, I will definitely die. Ive tried to recycle it several times, but I cant control myself!

Well

Li Yao didnt expect it to be like this. He nodded his head and said, Even a penny cant kill a hero!

Right?

Zhang Daniu said, So, its not just a matter of these two days. Ever since my style has changed and my grades have plummeted, Ive been thinking of finding a suitable and decent way to end this book. For example, let me think about it. After the protagonist finishes fighting a boss, he will suddenly wake up with a jolt and realize that everything hes been doing is a dream. Then, he will forget everything that happened in the dream and focus on his studies every day. What do you think of this idea?

Li Yao said, I think you will be killed by the readers.

Exactly. Thats why Ive been wondering how I should clean up the mess, too!

Zhang Daniu said, Anyways, it doesnt matter how this book ends. Im already thinking about the next book. Im absolutely not going to make this books mistake. Im going to train and level up. Im not going to let go of the flag of face slapping and girls chasing. Im going to walk on the path of fantasy, and Im going to walk on the path of interstellar cultivation. In short, I cant continue writing this d.a.m.n science fiction.

Why?

Li Yao was dazed. Isnt science fiction good?

Not good. Of course not good.

Zhang Daniu shook his head and said, You know it, right? The most important thing about ReadNovelFulls is desire. Whether it is cultivation, face-slapping, picking up girls, or the courts.h.i.+p of female fans, it doesnt matter what kind of skin youre wearing. It doesnt matter what kind of theme youre talking about. The bottom line is that you have to satisfy the unspeakable desires in the depths of human nature. Whoever can precisely control the desires of the readers and scratch that itching meat will win!

But science fiction Oops. How do you say science fiction? If it is really written well, it must be anti-humanity, anti-desire, or rather, it must surpa.s.s human nature and desire. The further it is from human nature and desire, the more brilliant it will be. You cant set two bizarre alien species to fall in love on an incredible planet. What kind of thing is that?

Do you understand now? To write online novels, you need to make money. You need to set your sights on desire and ruthlessly attack it. You need to satisfy what the readers care about the most and what they are most familiar with. But to write a good science fiction novel, you need to be anti-human, anti-desire, and anti-superhuman. You need to use things that the readers are completely unfamiliar with and have never thought of to create a sense of surprise. These two natural contradictions are irreconcilable. The conclusion is that only a fool would write science fiction online!

Wait

Li Yao said, Brother Niu, dont you love science fiction and want to contribute to our countrys science fiction industry?

Zhang Daniu was stunned for a moment. He chuckled and said, That may be the case, but havent I not paid the rent for the next quarter? Id better love the evil money and myself first. When the day comes when I can make a name for myself, when Im rich, when I have a nice car, and when I have five beautiful girls, Ill come back and contribute to the science fiction industry, alright?

Li Yao had nothing to say.

Besides, how should I put it?

Zhang Daniu continued, Now that youve asked this, I have nothing to hide. This is probably G.o.ds willeven G.o.d doesnt want me to continue writing this book.

Oh?

Li Yaos eyes turned sharp again. How so?

Thats right. The past two months have not been smooth at all. I feel that I cant even drink cold water.

Zhang Daniu gestured and said, Its not that its been a month or two. Its just that things havent been going well ever since changed its style. When I was shopping in the neighborhood, a flower pot almost fell off and hit my head. When I went to walk around in the garden, I ended up being f*cking bitten by a dog. When I was sleeping at home, the gas valve broke down for some reason. Thankfully, there was no gas poisoning. Just last month, my computer broke down three times for no reason. Every time it was repaired, it broke down. Every time it was repaired, it broke down. The repair shop said that they had never encountered such a thing before Can you imagine how determined and persistent I was to maintain a normal update under such circ.u.mstances?

Is there such a weird thing?

Li Yao secretly clenched his fists under the table and said, Then, then has Brother Niu been involved in any dangerous accidents recently, such as being hit by a car?

Not really.

Zhang Daniu shook his head and said, I was already angry enough when I encountered so many annoying things. I didnt go anywhere at home and the car didnt hit me. Anyway, I was in a trance for quite a while. That day, when I went to the toilet, I finally couldnt bear it any longer and wanted to give up. However, after writing for such a long time, I have feelings for it. So, I decided to throw a coin to decide whether to continue writing or to become a eunuch. If I was facing the front, I would become a eunuch. If I was facing the back, I would rot. If the coin was standing up, I would continue writing. As a result, just as I threw the coin into the air, my foot slipped and I dropped my hand. Tell me, if this isnt the work of the heavens, then what is it?

At that time, I was in so much pain that tears were rolling down my face. I was really disheartened and gave up on myself. So, I simply cursed, What stupid book is this? Im not writing any more!

In the end, it was very strange. I seemed to have gotten rid of something. A cool breeze disappeared from my body. Although my hands still hurt in the next few days, the weird things never happened again. I ate, slept, and felt refreshed. Except for the fact that I had no money, everything else was good.

So, now youre asking me whether or not to write Forty Thousand Years of Cultivation. I cant lie to you about that. I really dont know!

Zhang Daniu was already dead drunk. He kept on slipping under the table.

Otherwise, he wouldnt have told Li Yao the truth.

However, yesterday, I heard from your junior sister, Little Rabbit, that many people still like to read this book and are silently supporting Brother Niu. How should I put it? I feel sorry for everyone.

Zhang Daniu slumped in his chair. In fact, its not that bad. Today, it was you who came. If it was really your little junior sister, II really dont know how I would face her. She was about to give up. How could I have the face to go to your place to be a guest!? Then, do you really have many university students who like to read my books?

Yes.

Li Yao nodded. They are all college students with long hair and swaying skirts.

How about

Zhang Danius eyes were somewhat sluggish. For the sake of these enthusiastic readers who support me, I will be a fool again and continue writing?

Well

If it were before a meal, Li Yao would definitely not hesitate to coax the author to continue writing.

But as it turned out, if the accident continued, there was no telling what would happen next.

Li Yao felt extremely uncomfortable. He would not allow himself to push the author into the fire pit.

Well, its still up to you, Brother Niu. I will respect your choice no matter what.

Li Yao said, However, youve written the outline, including the Vulture Plan and the secrets of Earth, havent you, Brother Niu?

Yes, yes!

Zhang Daniu was already so drunk that he didnt know whether to nod or shake his head, II have everything. However, these are all my secrets. Even if this novel is of no use to me, I can still continue to use the next novel. Come, lets not talk about these unhappy things. Continue drinking, drink!

Brother Niu, youre drunk.

Li Yao said, Let me take you home.

Zhang Daniu struggled for a while. Naturally, he was no match for the stocky Li Yao.

The house he rented was in the old neighborhood next to the ca.s.serole bone kiln. It took him three tries to find the right door.

When he entered the door, he was so drunk that he couldnt even answer the keyhole.

Li Yao took the opportunity to observe the layout of the room.

It was a typical old house decorated in the style of the last century. One room and one living room were packed with yellowing books and newspapers. It was perfect for one person.

There was barely any furniture or appliances in the room. On the old, mottled desk was a battered laptop, which was Li Yaos target.

Over the course of the meal, Li Yao basically understood Zhang Danius personality. This was a rather casual fellow. It was unlikely that he would place the outline of a novel in an encrypted USB drive or a safe.

However, Li Yao did not steal the computer directly.

Brother Niu, Im leaving. Lets contact each other via WeChat. Ill see you when Im free!

Li Yao noticed that the ventilation window of the toilet was not locked, which was enough.

After making sure that the other party had heard his words, he closed the door loudly from the outside, went downstairs, and walked out of the neighborhood with his hands in his pockets.

Although it was an old neighborhood, there were still some surveillance cameras on the side of the road. When he helped Zhang Daniu back just now, he had already been captured by the surveillance cameras, so he had to take another video of him leaving the neighborhood.
