Blooming America

Chapter 43: Fiction Returned

On August 31, 1961, with one day left, it was time for school to begin.

　　 Catherine came to school early.

　　As soon as she returned to the dormitory, she watched several partners gathered around the table. Jenny was holding a book and then calculating something.

　　 "Lily, you caused 17 damage to the troll, and now the troll has 33 lives."

　　 They are actually playing their own war chess?

　　 "Look, our magical girl Miss Catherine is here~"

　　 Lily laughed and threw herself on Catherine.

　　 "Forget it, Lily."

　　 Catherine seemed tired.

　　 "Kate, are you coming to play too?" Lily invited.

"no need."

　　 War chess is not yet on the market. What they are playing is the full version that they gave them—of course, this is the popular version.

　　 The rules of the popular version are relatively simple, not rigorous but absolutely interesting. The professional version is more suitable for game enthusiasts and tabletop role-playing game lovers.

　　 "Ada, your father... uh... how is it?"

　　 "It's okay, Jenny has hired a psychiatrist for my dad, which is much better than that quack...Oh, Jenny, thank you so much... I really don’t know what to do without you..."

　　 Ada said, looking at Jenny with affectionate eyes.

"My mother is also a doctor. The so-called anterior lobectomy is actually only for the benefit of the doctors. They have never thought about their own problems from the perspective of the patient, just thinking about their reputation or making their work more convenient. Besides, I didn’t actually do anything."

　　 "It's all right."

　　 Catherine said, and jumped onto her bed.

　　 "What's wrong, Kate?"

　　 Lily asked concerned.

　　 Although her game of chess has been taken seriously, Catherine can't laugh at all.

　　The reason is also very simple.

　　—Because she was rejected!

　　 "I was rejected."

"what?"

　　 Lily thought she was not quite clear.

　　 "I, was rejected!"

　　 Catherine was rolling on the bed, she was depressed. Originally, she thought she was already a "successful person", but she did not expect that she would encounter such a thing!

"what happened?"

　　 Catherine took out the bound manuscript from her backpack and gave it to Lily.

　　 The name of this book is-"Radiation".

　　 This novel is Catherine’s "vest", in other words, she wrote it under a pen name.

　　'S pen name is "Hei Dao Ren".

　　The story tells that in 2077, there was a nuclear war in the world, and before that, the Sino-American war was the cause of this event-due to the needs of the times, Catherine had changed China to the Soviet Union. The protagonist is a resident of underground shelter No. 13 in Southern California. In 2161, because an important computer chip in the water purification system was damaged and was in danger, the leader decided to send the protagonist out to find a new piece of land. Chip to save the village. At the end of the story, when the protagonist struggled to find chips from other villages to save his refuge, the residents trusted the protagonist and expelled him from the refuge forever.

　　 And the name of the protagonist of the story is Bruce Edson, that is, his cheap daddy.

　　In the original history, Fallout was supposed to be a computer game, but the story is very classic.

　　 Catherine still remembers that the first time she played this game, it was the third part of Fallout.

In the Tepeny Building inside, there is a task that allows her to choose whether to persuade the residents to agree to let a group of zombies live in—in this game, zombies are mutated humans who still retain their intelligence and live with people, but they suffer Discrimination.

　　 Most of the residents have no objection to zombies. Finally, after Catherine asked everyone to agree, the zombies came in.

　　 Catherine thought that this task was successfully completed.

　　 But when Catherine came back here again, she found that all the residents had been slaughtered by these zombies, and the corpses were placed in the basement.

　　Playing this game is the first time Catherine has experienced the feeling of doing bad things with kindness.

　　 Of course, because the original version of Fallout was only a game, Catherine underwent a major operation on Fallout.

　　 One feature of this story is that it is rich in side plots, and Catherine connects all the plots of these stories to form a complete story.

　　 After all, after writing "Harry Potter", Catherine is already familiar with it, this is not difficult to solve.

　　 "Radiation", regardless of the plot or the pattern of the world, is slightly better than "Harry Potter", Catherine is very confident.

　　 But...

　　 She was rejected!

　　 Others don't know, but Catherine knows that next year will be the peak of the Cold War.

　　 Especially after the Cuban crisis broke out, the confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union reached a peak.

　　 If my inference is correct, "Radiation", which describes the world after the US-Soviet nuclear war, will definitely be welcomed!

　　 Not only that, Catherine even considered the Vietnam War. In two years at most, an anti-war trend will erupt in the United States, and the book "Radiation" is also suitable for this subject.

　　 Of course, another reason for the success of the Fallout series is that it was in the 90s, and Fallout is the style of the 50s.

　　 But Catherine is now doing the opposite, turning the original tone of radiation into a postmodern feel—just the opposite of the original. UU reading www. uukānshu.com

　　 Now, people are most keen to talk about the future, technology and so on.

　　 This is especially true when Gagarin enters outer space.

　　According to surveys, the United States developed the fastest technology in that period of time.

At that time, when Americans who advocated freedom and democracy discovered that they were actually overtaken by the Soviet Union in terms of technology, an upsurge broke out for the whole people. Ironically, after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, more than half of Americans were concerned about democracy and democracy. Freedom is no longer enthusiastic.

　　 In any case, Catherine has high hopes for her own book.

　　 But...not everyone has Catherine's vision.

　　 "Your novel is excellent, but we regret to tell you that your novel is not in line with the purpose of our paper book publishing house..."

　　Your purpose is profit!

　　 Or maybe...Don’t want to step on the red line of the Cold War?

Hey there! Who is this person!

　　 Isn’t it popular to use the Cold War to talk about things these days? Why are there such people?

　　 Catherine became more angry the more I thought about it.

　　 "Actually I think this novel is well written, at least it looks good."

　　 Lily shrugged.

　　 "But it's not suitable for girls to watch."

　　 Jenny added.
