I Persuade People With Reason

pat.

pat.

In the early morning, a light rain fell.

The cold fog covered the casement, and the raindrops slanted on the window sill, covering the sound of the keyboard in the room like the sound of a hurried string.

Zhang Chen hummed happily.

The novels he had read were still fresh in his memory, like illusory pages opened in his mind, and clear words appeared one after another.

With such convenience, he didn't have to think about it, he quickly tapped his fingers on the keyboard, and typed out those familiar words in a smooth flow.

After writing a chapter and saving the manuscript, click Save, and then switch to the background of the writer skillfully, and the rapidly rising data curve is clearly displayed on the screen. One ebullient comment after another filled the computer screen.

The love and admiration of the readers is simply overwhelming.

Long-length rainbow farts, self-created fanfiction pictures, fanfiction novels written out of love for the characters, various tap water Amway posts, and one reward after another...because one favorite novels, a favorite author, these people who should have been distributed in all corners of the world, and who may have never known each other in this life, gathered in the same comment area, as if they became a family.

And the author of "The Son of Heaven" is the link that connects all people together.

For the undisguised enthusiasm and love, admiration and admiration of so many readers, Zhang Chen has been flattered at the beginning, and taken for granted now, from a guilty conscience and unaccustomedness at the beginning, to ? Today's accustomed to, do not take it seriously?.

He just smiled and didn't respond.

Taking the day of his rebirth as a turning point, his life almost underwent a major reversal. A year ago, he did nothing, and now he is sought after and has infinite beauty, it seems that he has been divided into two people.

How impermanent things are in this world.

In the past, Zhang Chen never thought that he would have the chance to live again. When he was just reborn a year ago, he was really at a loss for half a month, until he realized that he remembered all the things he had seen in the past ten years in his mind. ?novel.

That's when he decided to go back to his old business.

In ten years, although Zhang Chen has read many novels, not all of them have been read, and the results of these novels are vastly different. He carefully screened out the twenty most complete and best graded books in his memory.

At that time, Zhang Chen first aimed at a popular sci-fi "Xinghai". He didn't expect that when he was gearing up to start copying, the original author published it three days ago - before he was confused and confused During that period of time, he missed the opportunity to release "Xinghai".

Only then did Zhang Chen realize that these novels are not secret treasures that he alone knows, and he can copy them whenever he wants.

They themselves are masters.

If Zhang Chen can't copy the novel before the original author publishes it, the memory in his mind will be wasted in vain. He has to race against the original author against time.

He didn't dare to delay for a moment, and immediately listed the remaining nineteen novels according to the time when they were supposed to be released, and arranged a timeline.

In order to ensure that the "Xinghai" incident does not happen again, the first thing he copied was the newcomer Wang Xuanhuan's work "Beixuan Zhuan", which will be released soon. Soon after the serialization of "Beixuan Zhuan", he double-opened the Xianxia novel "Bei Xuan Zhuan". Fairy Way".

In the past year or so, with these two hit novels being released simultaneously, each novel has been updated at least 10,000 per day, and when special events such as rewarding and ranking are encountered, more than ten chapters will be released in succession and the manuscripts will be exposed. Chen Chenggong has changed from a little rookie to a new master of Zero Point Book City, with countless fans. Diligent and talented? Who doesn't love a brilliant author?

A month ago, the two double-opened books finally came to an end, and Zhang Chen immediately set his sights on the third book on his book list, the horror novel "Strange Song" by the fantasy writer "Yunshang" after the transformation. .

There are only so many novels in Zhang Chen's mind, and he uses one book less than one. He vaguely remembered that "Yunshang" was transformed in this year, and maybe he would start writing "Strange Song" in a few months. Therefore, as soon as the old article was finished, he would stop at the readers. The group announced the opening of a new book.

The readers were all intrigued, and they asked about the title and genre in the group. One of the local readers, "Takoyaki", who firmly occupied the first place in his reward list, was still giving it crazy in the reader group. The gods blow the rainbow fart.

Zhang Chen knew the reader whose ID was Takoyaki. The opposite party seemed to be young. He had exposed a lot of information in reality during the first conversation among the readers. It seemed that he was a white Miss Fumei.

Probably males always like to show off in front of females, and being praised by the imaginary cute little sister, Zhang Chen just drifted away, and on impulse, he spread the first 30,000 "Strange Songs" to the readers. Character.

The plot of this horror novel is bizarre and thrilling. At the beginning of only 30,000 words, it exerts its own characteristics to the extreme, and the end happens to be stuck in the suspense of the protagonist's death after encountering a ghost.

After reading the beginning, the readers were full of praise and madly urging more updates. Zhang Chen was praised like a fairy, saying that if he saved some more manuscripts, he would officially open the article next month.

A coincidence happened.

Just over half a month later, the real author of "Strange Song" suddenly posted an article in Zero Point Bookstore.

And Zhang Chen's readers soon found this article that was almost copied and pasted from the title to the content. This is simply the lowest and most arrogant plagiarism!

They informed Zhang Chen of the matter at the first time.

Looking back now, Zhang Chen still remembers his panic, guilty conscience, embarrassment, and fear at that moment. It's like a thief who stole someone else's clothes but happened to be bumped into by the original owner, as if the clothes will be stripped off in the next moment, revealing what's inside.

At that moment he even had some regrets.

If he hadn't sent the 30,000-word beginning to the readers on a whim, at most he would have missed this "Strange Song" just like he missed "Xinghai", and he would have known everything. The big deal is to change another copy.

But now, everyone sees that he and "Clouds" have exactly the same title and content. Among them, there must be a person who is plagiarizing!

In the past one year, Zhang Chen's mentality has undergone a great change. He likes the present, such a beautiful and popular life, and he must not accept the return to the original state—

He even imagined in his mind the image of being disgraced and shouting and beating after being exposed.

"No! I must never admit to plagiarism! It will ruin me! It will ruin everything I have now!"

When Zhang Chen woke up from the panic and made up his mind, he realized that the trend on the Internet was different from what he had imagined.

At this time, he was recognized by countless people as talented, talented, and full of aura. He liked to try different types of great gods, and "Yun Shang" was just a man who had been depressed for many years, but never wrote Regular author of horror novels.

Even if only two people's initial release times are compared together, it is possible to judge who is right and who is wrong.

Countless readers spontaneously "act for heaven".

Zhang Chen just realized that he had long since realized that he was not the original writer who was bashing on the street. All the evidence was right. He was more beneficial. What was he afraid of?

It seems like a thief who stole someone else's clothes but found the proof of purchase in his clothes pocket, so even if he collided with the original owner of the clothes on the street and was caught on the spot, he would dare to take it out. When the certificate comes, shout out loudly. On the contrary, the onlookers who did not know the truth began to accuse the original owner and defend the thief.

An absurd and funny thing just happened.

A few days before the matter just fermented, in order to prove his innocence, "Clouds" posted a series of novel materials related to "Strange Song" on Weibo, including many folk horror legends. Even a novel outline?

- And these things, Zhang Chen does not have?

After posting the material and outline, "Clouds" also asked Zhang Chen to post his own material and outline.

Of course, his original words were: "I don't know why my original work is exactly the same as the content of the new book by the Son of Heaven. There is also a possibility that the two of them will look exactly the same... For this reason, I will post all the evidence that I think is helpful to me. If the emperor is willing to post his own writing ideas and materials It would be better to come out and confirm the two. Maybe we are the coincidental twins?"

What "Yun Shang" said was actually very modest, but Zhang Chen, who had a guilty conscience, only felt a sense of irony coming to his face, and he almost instantly became angry.

Of course, he couldn't post any outline, so he sent out a yin and yang strange sentence: "What a coincidence. Just last night, my computer was visited by hackers, and all the files in the computer, including novels, were visited by hackers. The materials and outlines have been lost."

After Zhang Chen said this, the account of "Yunshang" was almost inundated by Heizi. Malicious plagiarism, asking hackers to steal the original author's outline, anti-slandering the original author... One hat after another was put on the other party's head.

This is simply an online violence.

In the following month, the account on the cloud has never been logged in again, nor has it continued to be updated in the Zero Point Bookstore. The other party seemed to have completely accepted his fate and fell silent.

A great **** who could only look up to him in his previous life was beaten down by him in such an understatement?

Zhang Chen's heart changed drastically at this moment.

As if a beggar killed the emperor with a sickle, many of the things that once bound him were suddenly worthless. That seems to be the sense of awe that exists in everyone?

Originally, when facing the original authors of those novels, Zhang Chen felt a little guilty in his heart, as if he had a low head. This is also mixed with the admiration of the authors for the top gods in the industry.

But the fall of "Clouds" seemed to destroy the high wall in his heart, and the image of the **** collapsed, causing the words "but so" to arise spontaneously in his heart.

...He is the man who will be sitting on the essence of the novel for the next ten years, and now he is a **** himself. And those future great gods, some have not yet started to write novels, and are destined to catch up with him in the future, what is he afraid of with a guilty conscience?

When thinking changes, people become more relaxed.

Taking advantage of this month's time, and taking advantage of the huge amount of attention this plagiarism incident has gained, Zhang Chen released a new book "Strange Song" in the Zero Point Book City, and now it has updated nearly 400,000 words, and it's just tonight? To be officially launched.

Zhang Chen set the timing for the manuscript to be released today, and this is how he opened his readership group, @all members, and announced the good news.

All of a sudden, the audience exploded, and there was a lot of excitement. Everyone said that they would definitely subscribe as soon as possible.

Zhang Chen glanced over the news on the screen, hummed a song in his mouth, and his spirits were flying high.

At this moment, he suddenly saw that there was someone in the reader group and asked: "Really? Why hasn't Zhenzhen girl been online in the past two days? She is not a die-hard fan of the emperor, every day Do you have to go online to squat?"

"Zhenzhen" is the real name that "Takoyaki" mentioned in the reader group, so everyone in the group began to call her "Zhenzhen" affectionately.

Someone else [emailprotected] Zhang Chen and asked him whether he was clear.

Zhang Chen was stunned for a while, and suddenly remembered that the day before yesterday, when he used to flirt with this Bai Fumei privately, the two of them had casually mentioned "on the cloud".

Zhang Chen just expressed his grievance, and the other party immediately swore to promise that he must teach "Yun Shang" a lesson and vent his anger for him.

Zhang Chen didn't take her words to heart.

But that seemed to be the last time the two chatted.

...Is it true? What she said? Did she really teach "Yun Shang" a lesson?

"I don't know her situation either. Maybe something happened in reality and it's inconvenient to surf the Internet."

Almost subconsciously concealed the conversation between the two, Zhang Chen typed such a sentence in the group.

But his eyebrows furrowed deeply.

A bad premonition struck his heart in an instant.

"Snapped!"

At this moment, the lights in the room suddenly went out. The light on the computer screen also dimmed, and the power was cut off.

The sunlight outside the window disappeared at some point, and it seemed that there was an invisible and intangible curtain blocking all the light from the outside world, and the whole room was darkened.

A shady wind brushed across Zhang Chen's forearm, and his whole body shivered uncontrollably. When he leaned back slightly, his forehead suddenly became cold.

Tick, tick, tick.

It was as if drops of water had fallen from the ceiling, one by one on his forehead.

Zhang Chen couldn't help but raised his hand and wiped it. Suddenly, an unusual stench spread from his fingertips into his nose.

"Blood, blood..."

He was about to stand up from the chair in a flash, but he tripped over the chair because of the too much movement, and suddenly fell to the ground, his body trembling.

Zhang Chen was in a trance.

In the panic, another inexplicable sense of familiarity unknowingly flooded into his heart.

Suddenly, his body trembled, and dense goose bumps covered his body in an instant.

An indescribable fear filled him.

"This is... the plot in the quirky song!"
