Rebirth in America

Chapter 14 Plagiarism is justified

Alex continued to perform in various venues with the Owls, receiving warm welcomes wherever they went. Bart's performance level is not very high, but Alex is a very powerful vocalist, and people like it very much.

On the other hand, Angel's belly became more and more obvious as time went by. The family's expenses are also increasing. Now they only rely on Bart's salary and the appearance fees from their performances, which is still a bit stretched.

For Alex, this means that a younger brother or sister is about to join their family. For Bart, this is an even heavier burden. He must earn more money to support his family.

Alex was also very happy with his new arrival, but he couldn't bear to see his father Bart working hard every day. He also figured out how to make his family's situation better and more comfortable by just using his memories and knowledge of the future a little bit.

"Ah! As long as I can make money, whether it's plagiarism or borrowing, I'll do it!" When Alex was alone, he couldn't help shouting to the sky. He has always been thinking of ways to make money, but has always been restricted by his age.

"How can I make money?" Alex thought and murmured to himself: "Stocks? No, I can't open an account at my age, and Bart and the others don't have the money to play this. Let alone listen. My opinion is to buy stocks.”

"Inventing and creating? This seems to require upfront investment! What about entertainment? Singing and making records seems to be a good way, but it's a pity that I can't find the opportunity now."

"By the way, publish a book! As long as the time travel time does not exceed 100 years, most people who travel through time will use this method to get their first pot of gold. For example, that Fan Moumou, and the dead girl named Catherine At the same time, they all started by plagiarizing popular works of later generations."

After making up his mind, Alex immediately searched in his memory bank. His memories have been sorted out, especially the memories from his previous life, which can only be found through keywords. There is no alternative, otherwise he will be like those people with super memories, and their reactions to everything will become slow.

"Aha! I found it, the legendary must-read work of time travel - "Harry Potter"!" Alex spent a lot of effort and finally found the relevant content.

What he didn't expect was that he had neither seen the English version of "Harry Potter" nor the complete Chinese version!

What he was watching was just a movie, so there would be no shortcuts!

Okay, I can’t copy “Harry Potter”, so can I copy other books? For example, the "Twilight" series is also pretty good!

When Alex searched more carefully, he discovered that he had not read many English works at all. Even if you have read it, it was when you were learning English and you were reading textbooks!

"Damn it! Why are those time-travelers able to copy this and that immediately once they time-travel? Are they always ready to time-travel? You don't have people who play tricks like this!"

Alex felt desperate. He didn't expect that even if it was plagiarized, there would be nothing for him to copy! He had never thought that he would actually travel through time before. As an ordinary Chinese young man, his English level has always been between Level 3 and Level 4, referred to as Level 3.5!

"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! I don't fucking believe in evil anymore. I decided to do it with "Harry Potter"! Even if I just watched the movie, I can write it out with my own pen. If you can't even do this, then how can you have the nerve to be a traveler!"

"I swear in the name of the people of time travel! I must write it out! I must write it out!"

Alex made up his mind and decided to rely on his half-hearted English skills to write a masterpiece that would shock the world!

After he decided to plagiarize JK Rowling's "Harry Potter", he realized that this job was really difficult.

Alex wrote the novel very quickly, and he found that this seemed to be related to his complete memory ability. After all, ordinary people spend a lot of time recalling during the writing process, and they also spend a lot of time looking up information. For him, these times are just things that can be completed in a flash in his mind, and it is really not a problem.

The textual information in his mind can be consulted at any time, unlike images, audios, and videos, which are particularly troublesome to search for. Maybe it's because when "retrospecting", the larger the amount of information, the longer it takes.

The biggest problem is that his English writing skills are really not flattering. In his last life, his English level was only between Level 3 and Level 4. Even if four or five years in this life are included, his English has just reached the level of an American junior high school student.

In order to write this novel well, he kept using his "retrospective" ability! Although the Chinese version of "Harry Potter" he watched was not complete, it was still of great help to him. He decided to be a human translator and translate directly what he remembered.

He first memorized a Chinese-English dictionary in his mind. When writing a novel, I complete the Chinese version and then translate it into English. Even with such incredible cheats, Alex's book still took a lot of time to write, almost 6 months in total.

While Alex was writing his book, he continued to perform with the Hooters. Since they became popular in the pub, various venues have invited them to perform there. Under the guidance of the professor and Paul, he learned more and more songs and his skills became increasingly mature.

Bart also went out of his way to help Alex sign up for various competitions, and he was able to successfully win the top prizes in most competitions. Under Bart's guidance, Alex learned how to stand on the stage, dress, shoes and hairstyle. They were all very particular and looked more professional than other contestants.

Adequate preparation and professional packaging made Alex achieve fruitful results. However, the more awards he won, the more he felt that this kind of petty fighting was too boring. He longed to be on the big stage and desperately wanted to make a record. But judging from his current situation, it will take a long time to embark on this path.

Father Bart has quit his job at the car factory to concentrate on being Alex's agent. Since he didn't have many connections in the music industry, Bart could only hang around where he lived. If he had had another professional manager, Alex might have been able to perform on TV now, let alone release a record.

The most important thing is that Alex does not have a good band that can support him to climb higher. If there is a good band, good songs, and his singing voice, he will definitely have a place in the music industry.

Needless to say, Alex's own musical level far exceeded that of professional singers at the time. On the one hand, it is because of his advanced experience and wisdom, on the other hand, his physical talent in music is indeed not weak in this life.

However, Alex was not aware of these problems, nor did he think about them seriously. Even if he is aware of the problem, he has no solution for the time being. He put his energy into the book he wrote, hoping to make his first pot of gold by publishing the book.

As long as he has funds, many of his plans and ideas can be implemented. Even if you can't do it now, you can still lay the groundwork in advance. However, he is still struggling just above the food and clothing line.

When the book "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" was written, Alex's younger brother had been born. Alex was about five years old at this time. He was taller than ordinary children and looked like a six or seven-year-old child.

Before submitting the article, Alex showed it to Bart and Angel. He wanted to see the parents' surprise. He did surprise Bart and the others.

The reason for surprise is that the book written by Alex makes no sense and makes people confused.

It turned out that when he first wrote Chinese and then translated it into English, he was eager to be quick and used his ability to find the most suitable words in the dictionary to replace the original words and sentences. This translation result is almost the same as using Kingsoft Dictionary!

"Haha! It turns out this is a novel written by Alex!" Bart couldn't help laughing after asking about the reason. Although this novel has many words, many of them do not make sense.

"How did you learn so many words?" Angel flipped through it casually, feeling that some of the words in it were beyond the range that ordinary children could understand.

"Of course it's to look up the English dictionary!" Alex quickly explained, trying to fool him. Fortunately, Angel didn't delve deeper.

"It seems that you still have to study hard. After writing so many words, I guess you must not understand their meaning?" Bart pointed out Alex's flaw. Indeed, what Alex wrote was Chinese and English are only at the level of a junior high school student.

Alex suddenly felt that writing was not an easy path. At least walking won't be as easy as I thought. Looking at the novel he had spent half a year working on, he felt indescribably uncomfortable.

"Alex, you have to put your energy into singing." Bart saw Alex's somewhat depressed look, so he persuaded him: "You are very smart, but your energy is limited. The most important thing at the moment is to sing well." . Your path is not to be a writer, but to be a singer!”

Alex was a little annoyed after hearing this. He didn't want to follow Bart's arrangements. He wanted to take the path he wanted to take. He didn't say a word. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net

"Or, you can write slowly and don't be too anxious!" After Angel saw Alex's expression, he understood what his son was thinking, so he comforted him.

Alex nodded and decided that no matter what, he would write this book. If you can’t write it this year, then write it next year. It will take a year to write it. He doesn't believe that this hole will not be filled before Aunt Rowling writes it.

Sometimes when laziness takes over, Alex will think like this: "If I really can't write, I might as well find a novel master to copy my writing skills."

It's a pity that if he wants to copy the skills, he has to meet him in person. Based on his current conditions, he probably wouldn't be able to find someone like Master Tolkien. At most, he would just find a low-level novel writer. As a result, he was a little entangled. He didn't want to spend energy replicating such inferior writing skills.

After this period of research, he already knew that the skills copied from the puppet were attached to the puppet. If the puppet changed, the skills would be gone. However, when there is a doll, every time he uses a skill, he has more mastery of this skill.

For example, he copied Paul's accordion skill and was able to use it when Paul's puppet was present. Once the Paul puppet is gone, so is the accordion skill. The only advantage is that when he has this skill, he can learn to master it by constantly using it.

As for the extent to which he can master it, it depends on the number of times he uses this skill. The more skills he can master if he uses it frequently, and the less he can master if he uses it frequently.
