Home from scratch in another world

Shi Meng began to feel that every experience, good or bad, is valuable.

It was the few months of staying in Takase to discuss life that made her understand a lot of survival skills of the people at the bottom.

Since the apartment they live in is really old and the equipment is seriously aging, Shimeng and Akutagawa repaired the light bulbs, installed the gas stove and opened the toilet during this period, and carried buckets up to the sixth floor every day.

And the security here is not very good. One day when they came home from school, they found a circle drawn in the corner and three dots were clicked. She and her brother and sister, who had made up lessons, looked at each other and waited in the living room wrapped in blankets. In the middle of the night, I finally waited for the thief who came to my door, and then used force to teach him to be a man again.

It turned out that the thief was still a certain resident on the second floor. It just so happened that the thief who was beaten up was now the water mover and delivery worker of Shimeng's house, and he came to say hello to the elder sister and elder brother respectfully every day.

During this period, the Yokohama Literary Newspaper began to serialize the novel "From Slums to Millionaire" by newcomer "April" in the form of a weekly [-]-character serial, which received great repercussions in the literary world.

Especially in Yokohama, where the literary newspaper is located, many subscribed families were amazed when they read this novel. It is obvious that the prototype of the novel is taken from Yokohama, and the people of Yokohama can speak for themselves one by one about the places described in it.

Coupled with the fact that the plot is both heavy and bright, and the language is easy to understand and suitable for all ages, readers have begun to look forward to how the story will unfold.

Therefore, when the novel was updated to Chapter 3, the newspaper was out of stock, and the supply was in short supply, and the editorial office was almost flooded with letters from readers.

Shimeng is in Tokyo, so the reaction here is a bit slower, I don't feel the warm atmosphere of Yokohama, so I don't know that my novel has caused a boom...

She is still busy making up lessons, and there are too many missing studies.

Until Editor Matsuura worked tirelessly to send thick newspapers and selected letters from readers to Mr. April.

In newspapers, some senior authors even wrote long comments from a realistic point of view:

["In "From Slums to Millionaire", the author April used his unique deep brushstrokes to describe in detail the experience of the slums, how two orphans in a world of poverty and crime, under the ravages of terror and violence, Hard to survive.

In this dirty and dilapidated remote area far away from the city, the two children live in the dark, but are full of optimism and progress. With their hard work, they bring a bit of warmth to the heavy reality.

"...the various characters that appear here are all from the bottom of society, and all represent a profound human nature.

The flower of good and the flower of evil bloom at the same time, which makes me groan and devote myself to endless thinking.

"In Yokohama these years, I thought I was numb and indifferent enough. Knowing that the author is explaining the cruelty of this world to you, digging out the most bloody side for you to see, but you can't move your eyes, you can only let it go. Let her throw this aspect cruelly on your face, on your heart...

"Orphans in the slums are struggling in such a quagmire just to survive!

"Ms. April is using the hero Aoki Yoshio to shout, growl, and grieve——

Everyone, open your eyes and see!

Look at this wretched world!Look at the world we live in!

"I am very happy to see the protagonist portrayed by Teacher April, with determination and courage, to resist the world, to resist all violence and injustice, and I am also looking forward to the development of the follow-up plot...

"Actually, I hope the Yokohama Literary Newspaper can change from weekly to daily, this plot is too stuck..."]

My God, this is too much praise.

Shi Meng's face began to emit heat. She thought that her novel writing was average, but there were too few excellent works in the literary world, so it seemed that her routines were more advanced.

She read the next few newspapers, and the newspapers sent were full of boasting, and several authors published high praise for "The Poor Hundred".

The praise from his peers made Shi Meng both ashamed and a little happy.

She opened the letters from readers that came together, and the editorial department helped her filter out most of the meaningless compliments, as well as some offensive letters.

The ones sent are all worth looking at, but there are too many, and Shi Meng feels more and more that he doesn't have enough time.

She replied to the letters one by one, and with the update of "The Poor Hundred", her handwriting gradually became more correct, and it was not as unsightly as it was at first.

After all, she wrote it by hand.Shi Meng thought bitterly, she should just practice calligraphy, but when the conditions are more abundant, she must buy a typewriter.

Following the letter after letter, there were a few letters from readers that made her a little concerned.

[Respectfully, Teacher April:

... Teacher April is also from Yokohama, so he wrote the real environment, and such a group of people full of sins, exposing all their shortcomings and misfortunes, as well as the ugly side of human nature.

But even if the people in the slums are sneaking anxiously on the dirtiest roads, they can't escape the fate of black after all!

And in your novel, you also mentioned the inaction of the government and the hypocrisy and cruelty of charities...

Are you also dissatisfied with the Yokohama government?

Best regards

Miki]

Um?This Miki-kun's perspective is a bit pessimistic!She also deliberately described the glorious side of the protagonists' human nature.

She also disagrees with the other party's view that fate cannot be escaped, but agrees with Mr. Miki's statement that he is dissatisfied with the government.

She wrote a reply to the visitor:

[Respectfully, Miki-kun:

In fact, in my heart, there are no real villains in this novel, and I can even understand their ugliness, their cruelty...

They just weren't born in a good environment, and no one told them they could change that.

……

Living in the shadows, could it be that I hate the world?

In my opinion, only by thinking about how to improve the system can we create a more reasonable future, and the law is just the bottom line of morality.

Human beings are always just human beings, the good side is radiant, and the bad side is also reasonable.

The beautiful lotus is shining in the sun, doesn't it also grow in muddy water and rotten mud?

Best regards

April】

She finished writing in one go, stuffed the envelope back, and continued to read, when another letter caught her attention.

[Respectfully, Teacher April:

After reading the part about the slums in "The Poor Hundred", I was quite touched.

In an environment of indifference and insensitivity, there are still people struggling in pain. Aoki-kun clearly embodies the tenacity and kindness of nature, and has an innate spirit of resistance. His resistance also inspires us deeply.

Presumably, in the slums of Yokohama, there are such a group of children struggling, waiting for someone to lend a helping hand to them.

And we will fight tirelessly for this.

……

Perhaps in reality, justice does not always come, and light does not always drive out darkness.

Maybe the good side won't always win the real victory, they're just hanging on.

But as long as someone persists, that is the meaning of our existence!

I am also willing to stick to the justice in my heart with the sword in my hand!

May Teacher April be in good health and wait for your next masterpiece.

Best regards

Silver Wolf]

Shi Meng couldn't help feeling after reading it, there are still some people with lofty ideals in Yokohama!

She now has a very strange and light feeling in her heart. She obviously wrote novels to make money at the beginning, but she has received the attention and recognition of so many people.

She was a little emotional, and she couldn't explain why...

【Silver Wolf Lord:

Mr. Silver Wolf, I have received your letter, and I am very glad that my novel can bring you inspiration.

There are always people who are willing to guard the boundary between light and darkness. As long as someone pays attention and is willing to reach out to help these children in deep suffering, then my novel will have meaning.

Resisting and eradicating all oppression and inequality is the eternal pursuit of human ideals.

Now that you have a goal, then follow your own heart and don't ask anything!

Best regards

April】

She finished writing this reply letter with enthusiasm, and when she put the letter paper into the envelope, a small note suddenly floated out of it.

[Hmph, the famous detective has already seen what Aoki Yangsheng's plan is, he must want to do this...

It's so simple, only a fool would fail to figure it out! 】

Shi Meng twitched the corners of his mouth, where did the brat come from, he was also very witty, he mixed the note in Silver Wolf Lord's letter, and it was not filtered out by the editorial department.

But the other party really guessed her follow-up design. This famous detective does have a few tricks.

……

It took Shi Mengguang a whole day to reply to the letter.

The letters were basically from Yokohama, some of them were deeply encouraged, some discussed the plot, and some raised questions and suggestions.

Shi Meng's heart was touched, it turned out that in the darkness, there were so many bright or dark sparks burning, which suddenly made her feel that she was not walking this road alone.

Someone will always hold the torch, calling for more to walk with it.

There are always people who pay and struggle...

After sending the letter back to the editorial department, Shimeng didn't care about anything more.

The Yokohama Literary Club also stepped up its publicity efforts. When the response spread, even a forum for "The Poor Hundred" was established, and readers from countless other places poured in.

Some readers scratched their lungs to know what happened next:

【"Teacher Siyue's plot design is simply amazing. When my sister was taken away, I was so angry that I couldn't eat! I just want to know how Aoki and his companions can save my sister and fight back against the villains..."

"I've been in a daze at work for the past few days, and I just want to know what happened next, how did the hero become a millionaire!??"

"Has Mr. April been to a slum? That description is too real, so is there such a person as Aoki Yoshio?"

"Aoki-kun is really attractive, handsome, courageous and resourceful, kind and principled, that kind of reliability and peace of mind... Is Teacher April based on himself? I am 18 this year, single, this is me The contact information of..."

"It's impossible for this kind of place to exist. The author is simply sensationalizing, the plot is messed up, and it's all made up..."

"Is there anyone who can buy the Yokohama newspaper on behalf of me? I can't get it in my area. Even Yokohama is out of stock. What does the Yokohama Literary Club do?"

"Please ask for the contact information of Teacher April at a high price, and there will be a fee."

"..."]

Whether it's talking about plots, characters, reality or looking for scalpers.

When Shimeng heard that even his classmates were discussing the plot, he really realized that "The Poor Hundred" is popular!
