Rebirth in America
Chapter 15 Brother is born
On October 15, 1946, Richard Carpenter was born. The Carpenter family has a new boy, and Alex has a younger brother.
The hospital where Richard was born was the same hospital where Alex was born, and the same doctor delivered him. Surprisingly, he still remembered Alex, and when he recognized Bart, he immediately remembered it.
"Hi! Lucky little guy! Did you know that when you were born, we were all shocked!" The doctor said to Alex when he saw him.
Alex smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Thank you for saving my life, doctor!"
The doctor waved his hand and said, "That is God's arrangement. You go and thank Him."
Alex was a little disapproving when he heard this. He had never felt that he was resurrected by Jehovah. God only resurrected his own son. Alex did not dare to recognize God as his father. That was what Hong Xiuquan did.
"My brother's name is Richard?" Alex asked a little strangely.
Bart happily replied: "Yes! Your brother is called Richard. Don't bully him in the future."
"Richard Carpenter? Sounds familiar!" Alex thought, but he did not delve into the issue.
The younger brother is very cute and has the same hair color as his father, Bart. This is unlike Alex, whose hair is blond from his mother, Angel. As for the eyes, both of them are blue, which is also from their mother, Angel. As for the figure and skin color, Richard can't tell yet, but Alex appears to be taller and fairer than the other children.
Richard seemed very smart from an early age and could speak before he was almost a year old. He often showed his musical talent early on by listening to Alex rehearse. Before she even speaks, she already knows how to beat the cradle to the rhythm of music.
This made Bart and Angel very happy. They believed that their youngest son was also a musical genius. They also went to the professors who had tested Alex's IQ before and asked them to test Richard's IQ as well.
The results were also amazing, Richard’s IQ was as high as 180! Alex, the fake genius, was stunned. He knew that Richard's IQ was not low, but he didn't expect it to be so high.
Bart and Angel were so proud of the result that they were already planning to have another child.
"I wish it was a girl!" Bart said to Angel.
Angel frowned slightly and said, "Let's talk in a few years! I've already given birth to two children for you, and you still don't want me to take a break!"
Bart laughed and said nothing. They plan to train Richard like Alex.
So, when Richard could walk and read, they couldn't wait to teach him music. Richard lived up to expectations and learned very quickly.
Sometimes, Alex wonders if his brother is another reborn person. However, his idea is groundless, Richard is indeed a genius! A true musical genius.
Richard started learning to play accordion, piano, drums and other musical instruments at the age of three, almost a year earlier than Alex! He learned very quickly, no less than Alex back then. He follows Alex and does whatever Alex does.
Soon, Alex’s unique secret, the seven-minute exercise method, was learned by Richard. He also followed Alex to do these twelve sets of movements on time every day, and refused to fall behind even a little bit.
Richard also develops much faster than ordinary children. Perhaps this is the genetic inheritance of the Carpenter family. After all, Bart and Angel are both tall people. Especially Bart, his body is outstanding even on the basketball court.
Perhaps it was because of the unusual educational methods adopted by Bart and others that Richard grew older and his speech and behavior were different from those of ordinary children. This may be the price that gifted children pay.
When Richard was more than three years old, Alex was already seven years old and attending a school near their home. In fact, Bart didn't want him to go to school at all, and he basically didn't go to class. Angel insisted, so he had to sign up and go to school when he had free time.
Over the past three years, Alex has continued to perform everywhere with Bart and the others, earning a lot of money. During this time, Alex worked hard to exercise and constantly explored the limits of his abilities.
At this time, Bart decided to quit the "Owls" band with Alex and formed another band. The name of this band was "The Carpenter Brothers". Yes, Richard also joined the show.
The band's lead singer is Alex, with Richard sometimes joining in for duets. At the same time, Alex is also a guitarist, Bart is a drummer, and Richard is sometimes responsible for accompaniment with instruments such as accordion and piano. In addition, Bart will also ask one or two professional people to play other instruments depending on the situation. More often, only the three of them perform on stage.
Without the burden of the Owls, they became even more popular. Soon, the "Carpenter Brothers" band became a regular performer in various venues.
No matter what, Alex's songs continue to be sung and the novel continues to be written. He never gave up the idea of writing a best-selling novel. Perhaps this was an obsession he brought from his previous life.
He has seen the plot of the movie version, but it is impossible to completely restore the original "Harry Potter". In this case, Alex plans to write his own Harry Potter, using his own style and setting.
Of course, the story outline and some plots still use the original content. However, Alex will add some elements that he thinks are good and strengthen some of Aunt Rowling's weak parts. After all, Alex has been on the Internet for so many years and has read so many Internet articles. Even without fully recalling them, Alex can still write down some elements of Internet articles.
For example, the setting of the power system in the original "Harry Potter" book is not very detailed, and there are no various realms and various levels of power similar to those in the Xianxia online novel. This made Alex feel very unhappy, because without this setting, he would lose the pleasure of defeating monsters and upgrading.
"What are you doing? The description of the combat power system is so confusing. I don't know who is strong and who is weak! This needs to be changed! Well, change it!"
Alex decided to divide the power system of "Harry Potter" into nine levels: Magic Apprentice, Junior Magician, Intermediate Magician, Senior Magician, Archmage, Magister, Grand Magister, Legendary Mage, Divine Mage!
At the same time, a magic ring setting is added, with a total of nine rings, respectively for different levels of mage levels.
As for how to judge whether a mage has reached a certain level, you only need to see whether he can stably link to the corresponding magic ring.
Magic apprentices can only access the outer layer of the magic ring, which is the first level of magic. Junior magicians can access a deeper level of magic, which is the second level magic. And so on!
"We have magicians, but if we only have magicians, it feels too monotonous. How about adding a warrior power system to it?" After thinking about it, Alex decided to forget it. He worries that adding too many things will make foreigners of this era unable to accept the impact of Chinese online literature in the 21st century.
"It's better not to take too big a step, otherwise it won't be fun if you drag your balls!" Alex continued to improve the settings.
The purpose of the mage is to "shape". Simply put, it is to use everything to change oneself so that it can control more magic elements, shape it into magic, understand the true meaning of the rules, shape its own domain, and create rules! A mage who has reached this stage can already become like a god.
After the power is set, the school of magic can also be determined. Generally speaking, magic can be classified into three levels: "will", "knowledge" and "means".
Magic involves all three aspects, but different schools of magic focus on different things. Generally speaking, will determines the effect of spells, and knowledge can improve the success rate of magic. The method is to choose the use of spells or items according to the environment.
There is also the method of casting spells. In the original book, in addition to using a wand, some spells also require chanting spells when casting to be successful. Finally, there are "silent spells" and so on. These contents can be preserved!
After setting up the background of the story, the next step is to refine the outline. This is easy to handle. The main body still follows the direction of the original book, but on some branches, there is no need to follow the original direction.
As for the fighting, Alex felt that this was not to mention. The fighting in the original "Harry Potter" was simply too weak. Even the duel with the big boss was just you and me, which was boring!
But things are different now. With the new power system setting, Alex can try his best to make the fighting aspect more exciting based on the online articles he has read.
"Damn it! A junior high school student is a junior high school student. I want to take the path of Xiao Bai's writing and become a god! I want to defy heaven!" Alex finally felt that he had to persevere. In his opinion, Aunt Rowling's writing style was also Not great, the book is written for children anyway, so why do you need such high-level writing?
After figuring out the reason, Alex no longer struggled with the issue of writing! His writing speed suddenly increased by leaps and bounds, and he produced the novice version of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" in just two months.
Alex didn't ask his parents for help this time. He asked Richard to be the first reader. After all, the Carpenters were not his target users, only children of Richard's age.
"How's it going?" After Alex gave the manuscript to Richard, he couldn't wait to ask him before he had finished reading more than ten pages of the book.
Richard continued to read in silence, his eyes never leaving the manuscript in his hand, turning over page after page.
"What's going on?" Alex waited for more than ten minutes and couldn't bear it anymore!
"Shh! Don't make any noise, I'm still reading!" Richard finally spoke out this time, but his eyes still stayed on the manuscript.
After finally waiting for Richard to finish reading, he put down the manuscript, stretched out his hand to Alex and said, "What's next?"
"No more!" Alex was stunned for a moment, then replied: "This is just the first novel. What do you think of this novel? Is it good?"
"Not bad! It looks good!" Richard stood up and continued to urge: "You have to write the following quickly!"
"Really? Do you think it's interesting?" Alex asked a little unconfidently. After all, he was already immune to this kind of article and couldn't tell the difference between good and bad.
"Yes!" Richard replied with certainty, and then reminded: "Brother, don't forget to keep writing! I also want to know what happened next!"
After receiving Richard's affirmation, UU read the book wwww. uukanshu.net Alex finally felt a little confident. He sent the book to Bantam Books, a paperback publishing company, which was also known as the "Bantam" company because it used a bantam chicken as its corporate logo. It is as famous as the British "Penguin Company".
As for why this book was sent to this publisher, it is because Bantam Books is the largest paperback book publisher in the United States in the 21st century!
It was established in 1945 and specializes in publishing novels and non-fiction popular books, including paperback books, paperback books and hardcover books, in categories such as classical works, literature and art, business, philosophy, psychology, language, history, politics and various kind of dictionary.
Alex believes that if a book written by a junior high school student like his is sent to other publishing houses, it may not pass the editor's preliminary review. After all, the editor’s vision is also very important! Bantam Books was able to develop so much later because they were eclectic and able to accept all kinds of new things.
Finally, Alex thought about it and attached his basic situation to the manuscript, and also included a review written by his brother Richard.
He can only hope that the other party can see the possibility of the children's market, and his age advantage! You know, Aunt Rowling’s book manuscript wasn’t always smooth sailing from the beginning!
"That's it! This is my best effort!"
Alex didn't want to worry about it anymore, so he sent the manuscript out.
After everything is done, all you can do is wait. Alex can only hope that "Harry Potter", this cross-popular killer, will actually work.
