This ending can be said to have completely exceeded Zhu Hui's expectations, so much so that she exclaimed: "They are all dead!"

"what?"

The younger brother next to him asked a little strangely.

Zhu Hui didn't answer, and first followed Chu Kuang on her tribal account, and then said:

"Chu Kuang is a very talented author. His novels... should be worth reading."

Chapter 56 趣读杂志

This is the first time that Zhu Hui's impression of novelists who write youth fantasy literature has changed. Before that, she thought that Chu Kuang was also the kind of kitsch author who wrote brainless harem.

That doesn't seem to be the case now.

This "Artificial Beauty" is so well written, in just two to three thousand words, you can leave yourself dumbfounded, judging from this situation——

Chu Kuang obviously has a very high level of writing!

Opening the comment area, Zhu Hui found that not only was she surprised, but many comments also expressed similar feelings to Zhu Hui:

"The story is so interesting!"

"Is this really written by Chu Kuang?"

"Isn't Chu Kuang a youth fantasy writer?"

"I originally wanted to come here to promote the update of "The King of the Net", but I didn't expect to be attracted by a short story by Chu Kuang. This short story is really not youthful fantasy at all, but it is very exciting."

"I really like this style!"

"There are not many personal emotional expressions of the author in the text, it is a very simple narrative, but the ending does not require any emotional rendering, but it shocked me completely."

"A magical twist at the end."

"Did I over-interpret it? I feel that this article satirizes a lot of social phenomena. Didn't the news a while ago say that there are already simulated robots that look exactly like humans? It's really scary to think about it in combination with this article. "

"I was disappointed to see that it wasn't an episode of "The King of the Internet". After reading the short story, I felt that I could do it hahaha."

"Upstairs, you are not alone."

"Go away, you are not alone."

"..."

In addition to comments, many people have reprinted, shared and appreciated the article.

Clans have appreciation functions.

Readers can appreciate the article when they see the text they like in the novel section of the tribe, and finally the author can get half of the money.

And with the sharing of many people, some passers-by who didn't even know Chu Kuang also noticed the article "Artificial Beauty".

I have to say that the four-character title of "Artificial Beauty" is quite a gimmick.

When readers hear it, they may initially think that the author is satirizing the face-lifting in society?

Especially the word "beauty" is simply inherently attractive, especially to male netizens!

As a result, more people took advantage of the trend to finish reading this novel——

That's the advantage of being short!

Ok.

Although it is not quite as expected, it does not seem to affect many people's judgments on this novel. Even some bloggers in the tribe who specialize in promoting books have noticed the short story "Artificial Beauty" and forwarded it casually one time.

"Shock!"

One of the bloggers apparently got the hang of tricking visitors: "Who would believe that this is a short story written by Chu Kuang, the author of "The King of the Internet?"

The method is shameful but useful.

Chu Kuang already had the popularity bonus of the author of "Net King".

Coupled with the readers' publicity, the little article "Artificial Beauty" turned out to be quite popular.

In the end, even the person in charge of the tribal novel section noticed.

"Boss, this short story clicks quickly."

Listening to the report of his staff, the person in charge of the tribe's novel section raised his eyebrows slightly: "Chu Kuang seems to be the author of the popular youth fantasy novel, the author of "Net King"?"

"Yes."

The person in charge nodded, took a moment to finish reading "Artificial Beauty", and then showed a smile: "The story is really well written, let's push it in the popular category of the novel section."

……

After Lin Yuan finished his meal, he took a walk downstairs with his family. By the time he boarded his clan account again, it was already the second day.

This day is the Spring Festival.

Every household is very lively.

Lin Yuan's home was also very lively, but Lin Yuan didn't stay outside for a while before returning to his room to turn on the computer.

"what?"

Lin Yuan was surprised to find that in just one night, there were thousands of more background messages on his tribe.

These comments are almost all related to "Artificial Beauty".

And the "Artificial Beauty" that I released yesterday has already had more than 4000 comments and more than 1000 reposts!

Besides.

The number of fans of Chu Kuang's account has also successfully increased from [-] to [-].

At this time.

Lin Yuan's cell phone rang.

Lin Yuan looked at it and found that it was an unfamiliar call, so he hung up.

After a while, the phone rang again.

Lin Yuan hung up again.

The third time it still rang, it was still the same phone, Lin Yuan could only pick it up to answer it.

The opposite party smiled and said, "Happy New Year."

Lin Yuan said, "I'm not New Year."

The other end of the phone froze for a long time before changing his words: "Hello, Mr. Chu Kuang."

It turned out that he was looking for Chu Kuang.

If this kind of strange call is not an advertisement, Lin Yuan has to first determine whether the other party is looking for Xianyu, Chu Kuang, or Lin Yuan. This process is very necessary.

Lin Yuan asked, "Is there something wrong?"

The man on the other end of the phone smiled: "Let me introduce myself, You Rong, the editor-in-chief of Yinlan Bookstore's "Interesting Reading" magazine, I took the liberty to find you today to discuss cooperation."

Lin Yuan asked: "What cooperation?"

The other party said seriously: "I saw the novel you posted on the tribe yesterday, and I feel a little pity. You can put such a great novel in series in our "Fun Reading" magazine, because our magazine mainly produces short stories. Interesting, so there is no limit to the type of novels, and the sales volume is very objective, besides, the tribe will not give you publishing fees, but our silver and blue library is willing to give money!"

"how much is it?"

These words touched Lin Yuan's heart. He is a person who is short of money. Although this month's salary has been paid, it is not enough for him to buy a house for his family.

"Three thousand words!"

The other party quoted: "One thousand words is 3000 yuan, we can cooperate according to this price, of course, the premise is that your work must pass our review."

Lin Yuan frowned: "Too little."

He roughly calculated that "Artificial Beauty" was serialized on the tribe, and the amount of rewards added up to several thousand, and the timeliness is high, readers can give feedback in the first time, and the reputation value can also be credited in the first time .

"Then how much do you want?"

Kicked the ball over there.

Lin Yuan is most afraid of this kind of problem, but he can continue to practice Tai Chi: "I will send you a novel first, and then you quote, if I think the price is not suitable, forget it."

"Okay, my email is..."

"I've already sent it."

"Huh? You still don't know my email address..."

"Aren't you from Yinlan Library? I sent Yang Feng's email directly. You are colleagues, just ask him for the manuscript."

"But...my department and their department haven't..."

The other party was a little dumbfounded, and his tone was obviously flustered.

Lin Yuan said: "I'll hang up first, goodbye."

Lin Yuan did hang up the phone.

The main reason is that the Spring Festival is really here. Today’s food is more abundant than the previous few days. If I don’t go out to eat, what should I do if my sister finishes eating?

at the same time.

Editor Yang Feng received a manuscript, which was a short story from Chu Kuang, titled "Maggie's Gift".

what's the situation?

Yang Feng was full of question marks.

"what is this?"

Yang Feng used the address book to ask Chu Kuang.

Lin Yuan didn't see the news until after dinner, and replied: "Isn't it the manuscript that your company invited? The person who invited the manuscript is You Rong, who said he was the editor-in-chief of "Fun Reading" magazine. Could it be that I met a liar?"

Lin Yuan felt a little lucky.

Fortunately, I was very witty and sent the manuscript to Yang Feng, the editor in charge of "Net King" at Yinlan Bookstore. If the guy who called himself You Rong was not from Yinlan Bookstore, Lin Yuan would have no loss.

"He's not a liar."

Yang Feng replied with a complex expression.

Seeing that Chu Kuang didn't reply again, Yang Fengteng stood up from his seat and dialed the editor-in-chief's phone number: "You have to come forward for the editor-in-chief, and You Rong actually asked Chu Kuang for a manuscript behind our backs! "

"what?"

The editor-in-chief on the other end of the phone was agitated, his tone full of anger: "It is difficult to guard against house thieves by day and night, and he, You Rong, dared to make an appointment with Chu Kuang behind our Youth Fantasy Department's back. Do you want to take us seriously? I am now I work in the company, so go to the magazine department to settle accounts with him!"

Many companies have annual holidays.

However, there are also people on duty at Yinlan Bookstore during the Chinese New Year. Those who work are all locals from Sioux City, and their salary is five times that of usual. With this kind of reward, many people are willing to work during the Spring Festival.

hang up the phone.

The editor-in-chief of the youth fantasy department, Lao Xiong, went directly to the magazine department, and immediately saw You Rong, the head of the magazine department: "Old You, are you acting a little dishonestly, even asking Chu Kuang for a manuscript behind our backs?"

"Old Bear, that's so ugly."

Ever since Chu Kuang said that he sent the manuscript to Yang Feng, You Rong knew something bad happened, so he made mental preparations in advance: "I was going to inform you, but you came, sit down and have a cup of tea." , we are all colleagues."

"Don't try to pretend to be crazy."

Regardless of the strange gazes of the employees around him, Old Xiong said angrily: "Chu Kuang's "The King of the Net" submits 20 words every month. I don't need to introduce you how high the sales volume of this book is now. Now I still have to ask him for a draft, won't this affect his creation?"

"It's not my fault."

You Rong was also in a hurry: "Even if I don't ask Chu Kuang for a draft, he himself will publish short stories on the tribe. I am very optimistic about the quality of his short stories. Instead of publishing them for free on the tribe, why not put them on our blog?" It was published on "Interesting Reading", which is our company's trump card magazine after all."

"He was on a whim."

Old Xiong became more and more angry: "But you have encouraged his interest in writing short stories. After all, human energy is limited. After writing short stories for your magazine, how much energy does he have to update "Net King"?"

"He volunteered."

You Rong coughed.

This kind of thing should really be called in advance, but You Rong knew that Lao Xiong would probably not let it go in order to ensure the stable update of "Net King", so he thought about cutting it first and playing later, but he didn't expect it to be self-defeating.
