I have to teach the world a lesson

Chapter 29 The light before dawn

Early morning.

There are fewer people in the Internet cafe.

But instead it became noisy.

The young man and the young girl who stayed up all night were shaking their heads and typing on the keyboard, galloping crazily in the world of "Dazzling Dance Troupe", and from time to time shouting "urban and rural English" that Zhang Sheng did not understand.

On such occasions, writing is extremely painful.

But fortunately, Zhang Sheng is used to living at the bottom these days. When he is immersed in the plot without any distractions, he is not affected at all.

I started writing at eight o'clock in the evening and lasted until two o'clock in the morning.

Zhang Sheng finally wrote four chapters.

He updated these four chapters as soon as possible, and at the end of the four chapters, he wrote a chapter review of "asking for votes on Monday".

After finishing writing, click on the background.

"Sorry, your work does not meet our contract requirements, please continue to work hard."

After the update, the word count has reached 140,000 words.

With 140,000 words and no contract signed, in a sense, this book is worthless.

After looking at the cold signing text message, Zhang Sheng felt a little disappointed for no reason, and then quickly returned to normal.

He clicked on the Ming Chinese website, read other books carefully, and finally discovered a pattern.

Unless they are works by famous artists or old authors, novels related to "Cangqiong" and "The Flow of Broken Engagement" do not have any signed contracts. Some books that Zhang Sheng seemed to have written well were discontinued because they did not have signed contracts. At 30,000 words, 40,000 words...

Zhang Sheng carefully looked at the previous announcements on Qiming Chinese website, and when he searched for "break-off marriage stream", he finally realized.

"It turns out that the plagiarism incident caused a big stir..."

Last year's "break-up" trend was indeed very popular, and there were many books on it that published results.

But when this kind of book appeared crazily, there were countless versions of the plot that followed the trend. At first, the author "Tudou" had no objection. After all, you break off the engagement, I will break off the engagement. This is not original to me, and it is quite normal for the plot to show off and slap in the face. …

But gradually, these versions borrowed more and more from each other, and even began to evolve into "plagiarism" and "Chinese-to-Chinese" versions. The most egregious one was that the name of the protagonist of the book was not changed.

When the readers reported back to "Potato" and gave him countless evidences and made a lot of money, he instantly became furious!

He invited a lawyer's letter and communicated first. When communication failed, he found the media and exposed each letter one by one...

At first, this turmoil was considered a minor matter, but when it became serious, some books that were not plagiarized but seriously followed the trend began to be blocked one after another. Zhou Lin's previous editor, "Qi Color Flower", was even involved in this turmoil. Just pack up and leave.

But it's amazing.

Most of these plagiarized and borrowed books are actually books from his own website "Qiming Chinese Network".

And, somehow, when Dodou realized something was wrong and wanted to end the farce, the farce became more and more fierce. The initial plagiarism incident turned into a reporting incident, and a large number of people came in from nowhere. Readers, many books were reported, reviewed, and banned inexplicably, which once made everyone on the website feel in danger, and a large number of authors began to leave Qiming Chinese Network.

At this moment, other websites also started to put the words "Reject Plagiarism" on their homepages, overtly and covertly mocking Qiming Chinese Network.

"It seems... this is not just a storm, but more like a bad business competition..."

After Zhang Sheng sorted out these things, he finally understood why his contract for "The Sky" was repeatedly rejected.

At this time when the limelight has just passed but the aftertaste is still lingering, how can I sign a contract for my "removal of engagement"?

Time passed little by little.

The night is getting deeper and deeper.

The energetic guys and girls who stayed up all night in the Internet cafe finally couldn't hold on any longer, and one after another they fell down on their keyboards and fell into a deep sleep.

The Internet cafe suddenly became very quiet.

The keyboard sounds are extremely loud after several typing sounds...

Zhang Sheng stared at the page of "Breaking the Sphere" for a long time, with countless thoughts popping up in his mind.

Stop losses in time!

In a sense, this is the optimal option in this situation.

After all, Zhang Sheng's original intention at the beginning, besides being really interested, was more to make some money.

Nowadays, there is really no need to exist for a book that cannot be signed, cannot make money, and is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

In front of me...

Like a smear of darkness.

Then no light can be seen.

With a sense of loneliness, uneasiness, and an overwhelming, inexplicable sense of discouragement.

The best thoughts appeared one by one, and then slowly dissipated. I always felt that there was something that couldn't be lost.

When Zhang Sheng clicked on the list of newcomers and new books, he found that "Breaking the Sphere" finally rushed to the tenth place on the list after four updates. It was also the only one on the list that had not been signed or recommended. online novel.

Comment section.

Although there are many negative reviews, there are also countless encouragement and support.

"Things that can make money in the long term, to a certain extent, are definitely not something that can be achieved overnight..."

"Some people are born to become famous at a young age and reach the pinnacle of life, while some people need to climb up step by step. Some ups and downs and difficulties are essential on the road to growth."

"Damn it! Forget it, just to generate electricity for love, just think of it as accumulating readers!"

"Besides, my writing style is a bit immature and I do need a little learning..."

When Zhang Sheng thought of this, he finally made a decision in his heart.

After making this decision, he suddenly felt very happy and looked at the night sky outside the window.

The night sky was pitch black.

The darkness before dawn is always cold.

He turned off the computer and looked at the time. It was already three o'clock in the morning.

"You have to get some sleep! Otherwise, you'll be late for lunch in the cafeteria later."

"Today is September 1st, the time for freshmen to report..."

Zhang Sheng rubbed his eyes, then lay on the keyboard and fell asleep.

……………………

Nine o'clock in the morning.

Zhou Lin walked into the editor's office.

After entering the office, he saw that everyone in the office was whispering about something.

"Qilin! Between the three of you, a book written by a newcomer has reached the top eight on the newcomer list!"

"ah?"

"We took a look and found that this book might be a hit, but it's a pity that it's an annulment. Now is a more sensitive period, so it's hard to recommend. It's a pity that this book was born at the wrong time. Otherwise, the next book "The Sky" will be released again. "Changes"..."

"..."

Zhou Lin listened to the discussion, then turned on the computer and saw that "Breaking the Sphere" has rushed from the top ten yesterday to the eighth now...

The word count has reached 140,000 words!

After some exposure on the new book list, the data of this book began to increase, and the collection has exceeded 5,000!

Zhou Lin looked at the data in the background.

There was silence for a long time.

After all, he didn’t send a signing text message for this book.

After turning off the background, he stared at the page.

Three spots left!

There are only three left to reach fifth place on the newcomer list!

Don't give up at this time!

He found himself silently cheering for this book.

Finally, after hesitating for a long time, he logged into his reader account and voted for this book...

"Breaking the Sky"!
