Endless Rebirth

♂，

It was the end of another day, when the lights were dimming and the food was fragrant, Yang Ye dragged his tired body up the stairs and walked into his own little world.

Three years after graduating from college, I found a job that was completely inconsistent with my major, as a cosmetics salesman. I had to run around every day and suffered all kinds of cold looks. Sometimes I was beaten and scolded by the owners and kicked out by the security guards.

What else could he do? He had to live on. He endured it for the sake of money. This endurance lasted for three years, and the best youth passed away on the sunlit street.

The rental house was rented in a village in the city. The rent of three to four hundred yuan per month only provided a simple environment. He did not dare to ask for more. In fact, there were still three months to go and the place would be demolished. He needed to live there. Within a limited time, find a suitable house again.

Thinking of this, his brain ached. He climbed out of bed, tore open the convenience bag, soaked it in freshly boiled water, and opened his notebook.

Branded by Lenovo, this little notebook has been used for almost seven years, and the boot time took a full 2 ​​minutes.

After skillfully clicking on the web page, he logged onto the website and came to the author's backend.

3800 Collection Looking at this dazzling number, he could only smile bitterly.

Working during the day and typing at night was his life. As a busy online writer, he lived a very tired life.

The work was barely signed, but because he was busy and tired during the day, he couldn't even make it to the minimum living allowance. In addition, during the National Day, he was busy for several days and didn't update it at all.

There are no stable updates, and the updates are intermittent. It’s weird if you can’t collect them.

He couldn't do anything except smile bitterly. The book was useless, and his current life could no longer withstand the twists and turns. It seemed that he couldn't save it by continuing to write.

Sighing secretly, he turned off the backend, went to the homepage, kept scrolling down, and came to the free channel. His daily entertainment activity was to eat instant noodles and read free novels.

So evening is his time. He reads stories written by others and eats instant noodles with hot soup. He feels a faint sense of satisfaction. At least he can be immersed in the story and has no time to think about annoying things. He is carefree. , like returning to the past.

"Hey, what kind of essay is this?" He accidentally returned to the homepage and accidentally saw the announcement in the upper right corner. Yang Ye was startled and clicked on the message.

"Xingmang Company joins hands with China Literature to launch a new essay contest"

"Theme introduction: In order to avoid Hou Yi, the eighth sun hid behind the moon. From that day on, the moon and the sun were inseparable. On a full moon night, it was no longer just quiet, but also hot. Thousands of years later, Hou Yi The successor of "The King" used supreme Taoist magic to seal off the moon and the sun, and expelled him into the endless void. The story takes place in the expelled world, where there is only the sun and no moon. According to the legend, "

The topic introduction is very long, at least several thousand words, which is completely different from previous essay solicitations, and the background introduction is very detailed, including character introductions, imperial customs and relationships, etc.

Yang Ye was fascinated by the view unknowingly, and couldn't control the mouse to slide down.

The work requirements must be in line with the theme and background, and must be original. You don’t need to look at these. They are all what the title should mean. Yang Ye continues.

Submission period: November 2015, January 11

Final reward: Only the best works will be selected in this essay competition. Only one work can receive the reward. In addition, the number of words must reach one million before New Year's Day, and the reward is 300 million cash.

On the webpage, it is also stated that this call for essays is at the invitation of Xingmang Company to collect stories for its upcoming online game, so the reviewer is Xingmang Company.

Opportunity, this is a huge opportunity

Looking at my entire message, Yang Ye told himself this, but

He silently lit a cigarette for himself, and soon the computer was filled with smoke. It was a good opportunity, but it was difficult, very difficult to seize this opportunity.

Think about it, there are more than one website under China Literature, and there are countless authors under its name. For this 300 million cash reward, there will definitely be many competitors, and there will be many famous writers who will contribute. It can be said that if you want to start from these people It is almost impossible to stand out from the

It was almost impossible, which meant that there was still a glimmer of possibility. Yang Ye slowly blew out a smoke ring. The smoke ring continued to spread in the air and eventually disappeared.

So, what should be done to make the impossible possible? Yang Ye thought about it, and then he quickly copied down all the topic introductions on the web page. At the same time, he began to search for news about it on the Internet.

That night, there were many Internet writers doing the same thing as Yang Ye. Yang Ye could guess this, but he didn't care.

Since it is an essay competition, everyone is at the same starting point. If you want to win, it is nothing more than three points. First, stick to the theme, second, have unique and attractive ideas, and third, have a wonderful story or writing style. As long as you achieve these three Yang Ye felt that his chances of winning would greatly increase.

Of course, even if he achieves these three points, he doesn't think he can win the final victory, because there is a fourth point, which is luck. If there is no luck, then he will definitely not win.

Yang Ye spent more than two hours collecting all the information on the Internet, and then fell into silence.

It’s not that he doesn’t know how to write, nor that he lacks creativity. The biggest difficulty facing him now is how to write a million-word story in more than a month.

He leaves early and comes home late every day. He has no time to type. Even if he squeezes out time, he can't complete a million words. So the problem before him now is

Either pretend that you haven't seen this call for papers, or resign. As for asking for leave, don't be ridiculous. No matter how good the company is, they won't agree to a one-and-a-half-month vacation. It's better to just leave.

Yang Ye asked himself this question if he wanted to fight again.

He thought of the hardships he had endured over the years, the looks he had received, his home far away, his smiling parents, and the woman who covered her face and cried bitterly when the leaves fell in the autumn wind and left him.

He looked at the place where he lived again. It was a small room of less than ten square meters. Clothes were thrown aside casually, exuding a faint stench. The trash can was full of bags of ingredients for instant noodles. The table was in a mess, and there were still sounds in his ears. I could vaguely hear the landlord's impatient rent calls.

Do we really need to continue this kind of life?

Yang Ye asked himself this, and soon he had the answer in his mind.

For life and the future, he fought hard. He had to fight.

After thinking about this, he suddenly smiled and felt that his whole person was different. He threw the instant noodles on the table into the trash can and started working in front of the computer.

He must get this essay reward from Xingmang Technology Company. No matter what, he must try his best to succeed. There is no reason to be continued~~
