Crazy Psychologist

"So, you don't know this book?"

Mu Chun was as lazy as a cat, except that he didn't take a nap in the sun.

"I didn't think of it for a moment. If it was this book, even fewer people would know about it because it's impossible to buy a translated version."

"So, the author is still smart and knows how to copy some relatively rare works."

"It's not even rare. If you're a good reader of English, you can buy the English version and read it."

Muchun nodded, finally put down his empty coffee cup, and took out two things from the drawer.

Two books!

"This is "Changing Planes" published by Xinxing more than ten years ago. This is the English version of "Changing Planes"."

Liuyun opened his mouth in disbelief, "You actually have "Changing Planes"? This book has been out of print for a long time."

"What's the point? I also have a good book."

Mu Chun said, and took out a novel with a black and white cover from the drawer - "Holographic Rose Fragments".

This time, Liu Yun's mouth opened wider and wider.

"Oh my God, my God, this book is even harder to buy than "Changing Planes". People on the forum have been asking who has "Holographic Rose Fragments". Cyberpunk style has always been very niche, but in recent years it seems It is becoming more popular. "Neuromancer" has been released in several versions, but "Holographic Rose Fragments" has never been released in Chinese."

"William Gibson has a great reputation, but even Neuromancer has not been read by many people. However, the sales volume should be good. Whether to buy it and whether to read it are not the same thing."

“Even if you look at William Gibson’s work now, it’s still ahead of its time, let alone for his time.”

Muchun nodded in agreement, "It's like driving a motorcycle over a rainy city, with sticky streets underfoot and flashing shabby neon lights.

In mid-air, you pass a corner and meet a woman. She kisses you. Her hair is like flashing circuits. You touch her forehead with the newly replaced mechanical palm.

There was the sound of electricity surging behind him, as well as the panic of reading dreams. "

"That's enough, that's enough. I haven't read "Holographic Rose Fragments". Are you talking about a short story in it?"

"No, of course not. I am a reader and a science fiction enthusiast. In addition, I also like prose and "Dream of Red Mansions"."

"Who believes it?"

Although he said so, Liu Yun already believed it. Based on Mu Chun's sudden narration just now and the two out-of-print books in front of him, Liu Yun was absolutely convinced that Mu Chun was a science fiction reader, perhaps a better reader than... He also needs to be a serious science fiction fan.

"Which did he plagiarize from? William Gibson's cyberpunk or Ursula Le Guin's fantasy?"

"You will know if you can see it yourself? Do you want to see it now?"

Muchun threw out a printed novel and said, "Look, the first prize work is almost entirely plagiarized."

""confusion"?"

Liu Yun read it over and over again three times, and finally he remembered this short story, which was "Chaos". He couldn't remember it because English and Chinese had slightly different expressions. Secondly, he was comparing it with the one Mu Chun collected. "Changing Planes", this author didn't even change the title of the novel, he plagiarized it directly.

"That's right. Can you tell which one is Le Guin's and which one is plagiarized?"

Liuyun shook his head, he really couldn't tell the difference.

"That's right. I can't even tell the difference. The question is, how come those judges haven't read this novel?"

Muchun showed an incredible smile.

Liu Yun's face was also a bit embarrassed, he wanted to laugh but couldn't.

"After all, it is a short story. It is impossible for the judges to read all the short stories."

"That's true."

Muchun also agreed with Liuyun's words.

"So? This is what you said was funny?"

"Don't you thank me?"

"Thank u?"

"Look, this author is definitely wrong. I sent a message to the science fiction boss and told him that a short story I read was very similar to a short story in the book. I asked the boss who plagiarized it. who?"

"Isn't this nonsense?"

"The boss is very serious. He specially compared the two novels, and then"

"Then, no wonder I saw a group of authors discussing plagiarism this morning. Was it your fault?"

"Yes, who can let this kind of people not create well and still plagiarize? Plagiarism does not include plagiarism and shameless nonsense behind the novels that others have created with care. I will say it when I see injustice."

"ah?"

Unexpectedly, a hint of chivalrous demeanor suddenly flashed across Muchun's body. Liuyun couldn't help but feel that he had come to the wrong place. Where was this hospital? It was simply a place where famous families like Wudang and Shaolin served justice.

"Tell me whether it hurts or not."

It was indeed a bit satisfying.

But Liu Yun couldn't laugh. This person's comments made Liu Yun uncomfortable for a while. Mu Chun did this to vent his anger.

I don't know why, but he just can't be happy.

"I don't care, you have to pay the treatment fee for this matter. I criticized the author in your novel, a hundred times."

"What?"

"I'll fight him with a hundred numbers."

"Why do you use a hundred numbers? Where do you get so many numbers?"

"You can get as much as you want, just count it in the treatment fee."

When money was mentioned, Muchun changed his lazy sitting posture and said seriously: "The treatment fee must be collected."

"What is the treatment?"

Liu Yun wanted to say what kind of treatment was this? It's not like he asked Mu Chun to fight against anti-fans, so why should he be blamed for the money.

However, speaking of it, it is a very satisfying thing after all.

"Let me tell you something that will definitely make you happy. Don't pretend to be serious. Just be happy if you want to be happy."

Liu Yun finally burst out laughing, not only because Mu Chun was really happy about this, but also because he laughed at himself as if he was being defrauded of treatment fees by a doctor.

It would be great if a person could be as happy as Dr. Mu, but the author is inevitably afraid of offending readers.

How should I put it? I just didn't say anything when I saw the comment. It was obvious that the other party was making malicious comments, so I didn't dare to say anything. It would be nice if it was as simple as Mu Chun said.

Over time, some authors stopped reading reviews. Some authors even said something like this before, "On the day the new book was released, I hid at home and didn't want to go out. I didn't want to go to the bookstore to hear what other people said about my book. I was like a timid person. Many children are afraid of being criticized by their teachers if they fail the exam.”

Dr. Mu can't understand this kind of mood.

Even if you fall into the dust, you cannot completely relax.

"Happy today, smile today, will you continue to create tomorrow? I guess you must be an author like Stephen King, who writes all year round. If you don't learn to smile, you will become as ugly as him. .”

"What's so ugly?" Liu Yun decided to retort. Since Dr. Mu still wanted to charge for his treatment, why not just say what he wanted to say.

Liuyun said loudly: "You are ugly. Stephen King is a great god. How about a great god?"

Liu Yun smiled, and he still felt happy when he paid for the treatment.
