Xi Yujin thought it was time to combine work and rest. While writing, he would go to the virtual library to see if the Rust Clan had awakened. But except for the jumping little Rust Clan, the other Rust Clan were all sleeping peacefully in their eggs. The little Rust Clan told him that the Rust Clan believed that the volcanic eruption was a catastrophe that would destroy the world, so the rust shells condensed by each Rust Clan were particularly thick, and it was expected that they would wake up in a long time.

Xi Yujin, Ganuo and the little rust tribe drank tea in the reception room and watched all kinds of new things in the deep space prison. It must be said that the online shopping industry here is very developed. Xi Yujin couldn't help but buy a lot of useless art. Ganuo was keeping accounts and doing language exercises next to him.

The atmosphere at the Intelligent Machinery Forum was quite lively, as if something big was about to happen.

The day for the agreed literary exchange is approaching.

Psychedelic Literature first published a summary post, summarizing the links of the posts from both sides. Three novelists from Psychedelic Literature wrote "Endless Wheels", "Flowers and Stars" and "A Pansy" respectively.

The power of the clustering effect cannot be underestimated. As soon as they released the first chapter, many readers left messages, and many novelists who are friendly with the psychedelic literature brand came to offer friendly recommendations.

"Our journey is like an endless wheel, which is repeatedly rolled over and crushed. When we encounter sharp stones, we can only press on them and walk on them. We have no right to escape... The language of psychedelic literature continues to amaze creatures day by day."

Literary exchanges are not limited to long or short stories, as long as both parties feel it is appropriate. However, long stories can accumulate more popularity, and psychedelic literature also needs to be read carefully. Therefore, alien novelists only published the first half and stopped publishing, and communicated with readers in a reserved manner.

At this time, Blue Star Civilization also posted under its brand name and communication name.

The poster seemed a little strange to all creatures and was called Floating Spirit.

An alien creature quickly checked Fu Ling's information and only knew that she was an official novelist of Blue Star and had no works published to the public.

"Even if many races are stationed here in an official capacity, they can't send official novelists, right? Freelance novelists write more works."

"That's not true. Official novelists can still come up with something new when writing about a certain topic. This may be one of their strategies..."

Before Fu Ling could post the main text, many alien creatures had already given their friendly recommendations at the front row.

Many of the species were races that Xi Yujin had known in the pilot ship. They all had friendly diplomatic relations with Blue Star. Originally, Xi Yujin thought that he only needed to greet them during festivals, but he didn't expect them to come to support him on this occasion, which showed that Fuling's momentum was not weaker than that of the psychedelic school.

>Novel serialization - "Anniversary" Author: Fu Ling [Blue Star Civilization] [Psychedelic Literature Exchange Day]

"Today marks the 10th anniversary of the Saturnian writer Entusa winning the Solar System Literature Prize for her book Memoirs of the Saturn Wars. It is also the 10th anniversary of her death in the year 2666 of the Solar Era."

After sending this message, the little rust creature happened to jump to the right cabin next door and had a close contact with the black box. There was an accident in the network of the Chaoping. Xi Yujin immediately picked up the little rust creature and educated the child earnestly. The little rust creature rubbed a coal black on the surface of Xi Yujin's skin. Ganuo took it away.

"But you are also very powerful. You can actually affect the hardware facilities." Xi Yujin praised the little Rust tribe member for his cute appearance and said, "Let me find a black box maintenance service..." He carefully selected the maintenance masters and only looked for living creatures on other spaceships, and would never let the intelligent machines take advantage of the opportunity.

He thought it was just a minor accident, but the forum was in chaos because of it!

>Intelligent Machinery Forum

-No way? That's it? Blue Star Civilization, is this your strength?

-We all know that psychedelic literature requires a certain threshold to read, and it is not as easy to understand as online literature. The essence of psychedelic literature is that it can only be understood but not expressed in words. These subtle changes in emotions require a solid foundation to understand. Blue Star only wrote such a short story? Is there a misunderstanding of psychedelic literature? This situation appeared on a literary exchange day, which inevitably made people feel that they were watching a joke.

-People who can write psychedelic literature are not ordinary people, or did Lan Xing feel that it was too difficult to write and gave up?

-Strange, none of the novelists from other Blue Star civilizations showed up. Are they so confident in their companions?

After the black box was repaired, Fuling's post had already received many pages of replies, and more readers came in to watch the fun.

Then they refreshed the page and saw a large piece of text. They rubbed their eyes to make sure they had read it correctly, and then read on with the thought of “I want to see what you can write.”

One of the readers is called Hu Ke, who is also the author of "Endless Wheels" and a well-known representative novelist of the psychedelic literature school. He became famous at a young age in his original galaxy, and after traveling, he was admired wherever he went, and he was already proud.

Hu Ke originally didn’t want to read his rival’s novel, but after hearing other readers say “it’s a novel that only has one paragraph”, he couldn’t help but come and check out the fun.

Now that Fuling has been updated, it will just continue to read it reluctantly, hoping that Blue Star will not let it down too much. It is also very lonely to have no rivals in literary exchanges.

"Anniversary" is divided into three volumes, mainly telling the events and memories on the day of the anniversary of the famous Saturn novelist's award.

Xi Yujin places Latin American literature in the context of the entire solar system. Firstly, it is to facilitate readers' understanding. If one wants to mention modern Latin American literature, one must first understand its history. Secondly, it is to facilitate narration. There are still many things in its history that cannot be explained clearly, so it is better to write in a science fiction style.

The first volume is "Visitors from Jupiter". The narrative point of view is from the Jupiter reporter Lydicia. The text is relatively long, but the plot is very concise.

Lydicia was originally a native of Saturn. Because of the war, her parents sent her to Jupiter to study. She met her boyfriend at the university and found a job as a reporter. She thought she loved this job as much as she loved this land.

She already felt very unfamiliar with Saturn, and even a little bit as scary as a nightmare every night. But the novel about Saturn was a monument in the history of solar system literature, and she could use her identity as an aboriginal to do an excellent report.

To relieve her boredom, she asked her boyfriend to come to the Entusa Memorial in Saturn. While reading Entusa's works, she observed what was worth reporting on the anniversary.

Saturn originally had a rich and peaceful primitive culture, but it was destroyed by alien forces led by Jupiter. Colonization and invasion plunged Saturn into a dark slave period, and the surviving young people did not know what to believe in or where their future lay. Entusa was born in this dark and turbulent period.

Although the local culture was destroyed, Saturn found the dawn of thought from the invader Jupiter. The idea of ​​opposing dictatorship and striving for freedom spread in Saturn. After many long wars, Saturn finally became independent in name. However, the local forces of Saturn ignited the flames of war again because of geopolitical relations. Peace seemed to be a piece of empty feather...

In this situation, Entusa devoted herself to writing. She stared at the current situation of Saturn, imagined that the primitive myth of Saturn suddenly revived, and integrated reality and fantasy to write a unique picture of Saturn society. She always used indirect quotations when writing dialogues, like an old woman telling a bedtime story.

Lydicia tried to write a perfect report, interviewing random people in front of the memorial tomb of Entusa, and pieced together the original appearance of the city bit by bit. There was a general here who robbed different girls every day, hiding them in mosquito nets, oil drums, and the bottom of a huge ship. These things had nothing to do with Entusa.

The report could not be written, but there was still love. Lydicia's boyfriend praised Entusa's writing style, but Lydicia felt that the gap between them had deepened. She recalled the breakups and reunions with her boyfriend, and the prosperous Jupiter city in her memory was brightly colored and cold. She shook off her boyfriend and walked on the street, and people on the street called her the distinguished guest of Jupiter. Suddenly she saw the giant bird of Saturn's primitive mythology flying across the sky, just like what Entusa wrote in his book. Her eyes followed the giant bird's gaze over the scarred city and fell into the afterglow of the sunset.

…

Hu Ke was deeply shocked after reading the first volume.

It seems to see a more psychedelic way of writing, a completely new way of writing.

This writing style brings a strong sense of loss. The ending seems to be unfinished, but it actually implies that Lydicia can't change anything. She was born in her hometown and educated in Jupiter, but Jupiter happened to be an invader of her hometown. People in her hometown think she is a distinguished guest of Jupiter, and her boyfriend only regards Entusa as a great novelist. Only she sees the pain that her hometown cannot hide. The conflict between the two identities makes her very confused, and she can't change.

"But it's not just the arrangement of the plot, there's also this strange writing style..." Hu Ke murmured, and couldn't wait to read the second volume. Maybe after reading it, it will have a more vivid feeling.

The second volume is titled "Literary Stranger".

Deljana is a poor writer who comes to the memorial to seek inspiration.

She had done many jobs in her life, and she thought that her most talented and favorite job was writing. She was younger than Entusa and had only experienced the Saturn Civil War. She was originally a tutor for a wealthy family, but then the war came and she was hit by a teacup and kicked out. She worked as a peasant for a while, and her fingernails were full of the stench of shrimp and mud. At this time, the news of Entusa's death and the award spread throughout the solar system.

There is literature on Saturn!

This ordinary Saturn, known as the "backyard of Jupiter", suddenly gained a high-profile position in the solar system. The aliens admired Entusa's works so much that they spent a huge amount of money to build a memorial tomb for her on Saturn.

Deljana suddenly realized that writing was the only job most suitable for this planet.

Saturn is too far from the sun and too close to Jupiter. Its culture is not as continuously passed down as on Earth, and it drifts like duckweed in the current situation. They can only learn to incorporate fantasy into literature like Entusa did. That kind of fragmented and magical literary expression is the biggest voice that this marginal civilization can make to the entire solar system.

Deljana decided to pick up writing again. She got used to taking addictive substances, while writing poems and founding a magazine. She had different inspirations every night and gained many comrades. But soon after, the magazine was burned down, and the black smoke could be seen throughout the city. It took three years of heavy rain to extinguish the fire. The rain preserved the evidence of the text, and comrades were arrested and sunk into the sea one after another.

Deljana returned home in despair. Her young daughter had married a local general and was drugged and placed in a mosquito net every day. The general knelt beside her and called her mother. Everyone in the city knew about this. The church bells rang every day, sending off her neighbors. She decided to take a bus and a boat to the memorial tomb of Entusa, waiting for a new inspiration.

The third volume is titled "Stranger in a Foreign Land"

Alvaro was originally a judge who attracted much attention for her feat of not accepting bribes. After Saturn declared independence, she traveled to the capital in the hope of contributing to the peace faction. However, another armed faction immediately launched a coup after she arrived in the capital. They dug a deep well into the ground, and the black mud that gushed out flooded the entire city and solidified in an instant. The armed faction walked on the solidified land and asked the people in the land if they would obey them. If they did, they would dig them out.

Alvaro pretended to obey, served as the general's legal adviser, and helped the general run a diplomatic school. The general asked if he could marry his mother, and Alvaro replied tremblingly that he might be able to marry someone who looked like his mother.

Alvaro and her hidden accomplices decided to assassinate the general, but the general had a strange appearance. His broad back had fish scales, his voice was like a bell and no bird would stay for him, and his clothes could not stop his hernia. The general with special powers could not be killed. He was sealed in a coffin with lead and would get up as usual the next day, then get angry and execute a group of people.

Alvaro prayed every day and almost gave up. But one day, the poison she put for rats accidentally went into the general's cup, and the general died of poison. People celebrated the end of the general's autocratic rule, and cars waving colorful flags drove through the streets.

The city began to select a new mayor. However, the people who came back to power were people she didn't know. The newspapers suddenly claimed that they were loved by the people, and even newspapers as far away as Jupiter sent good news. Where did her comrades go? She felt very confused and wanted to look at the tombstone of Entusa. She found a line of words on the tombstone:

My writings will definitely be valuable after my death, to this great literary world that hides its despicable side.

…

The three volumes of "Anniversary" were published at once, and the alien readers also read them all at once. The readers here have a relatively high reading level, so after reading, they all feel a burst of refreshing thoughts, as if their whole body is penetrated, and the strong aftereffect makes them sit in front of their brains.

"This is--what a magical text--"

This sentence popped up in the minds of countless alien readers at the same time.

Then their thoughts started to become active, countless ideas popped up like snowflakes, and they quickly wrote down their opinions on the forum.

“I think this is a panoramic writing. It is written in great detail, using different perspectives to revive the history and future, details and overall picture of a place in a wonderful way.”

A reader who is very active in replying to posts said that many alien creatures are familiar with his ID, which is a well-known critic in the forum.

“The protagonists of the three volumes of Anniversary seem to have nothing to do with each other, but their fates are closely intertwined. They are all related to the many wars that Saturn has experienced. Their memories describe a small city that is declining and withering under the power of a powerful country, and how different characters live with the tide of current events. They seem to regard the great writer Entusa as hope, but in fact the scars of the past are still painful, and the future is still vague and illusory.

“And what I admire about Fu Ling is that these three protagonists all have group references.”

Readers are used to critics always making up words, and they quickly ask what "group reference" means.

“That is, the representative of a group. For example, Lydicia in the first volume is an intellectual who was sent to an alien planet, but after returning, she felt confused and distressed about her place of belonging, and was rootless.

"Deljana in the second volume refers to the poets who cling to their homeland, wandering around in the flames of war, starving, and unable to find their future even after the war ends. She wants to learn from Entusa, the only predecessor who can make her voice heard through literature, but the power of writers is still too weak to completely change the status quo by just relying on pens.

"In the third volume, Alvado is an ambitious intellectual with a vocation for action, but she can only live like a puppet in the vortex of power conspiracy... She finally succeeded in the assassination, and the dictatorial general fell, but why can't her hometown get rid of the control of another planet? Where is the direction of freedom?

"The feeling of powerlessness and confusion permeates all three volumes. These descriptions present a panoramic view of the politics of that period, like an encyclopedia of that era. This panoramic writing style is so magnificent and fascinating! I think Blue Star novelists are no worse than any novelists here!"

"I think it's great too. Ruilei's translation is just right."

"I read it all in one breath, and my head felt dizzy..."

After reading the critics' opinions, a reader asked weakly:

"I haven't read it yet, but you said she wrote about reality. Isn't that irrelevant? This is Psychedelic Literature Exchange Day."

Unexpectedly, this immediately led to a lot of rebuttals.

"How can this not be psychedelic!"

"You need to read the text. That feeling, yes, the feeling, can't be described, you can only feel it."

“It’s addictive magic.”

“This is… magical realism literature that is even more psychedelic than psychedelic literature!”

A heavyweight comment posted on the forum sparked a lot of responses. It turned out to be posted by a novelist of the psychedelic literature brand!

That was Hu Ke. Once his long review was published, it occupied a large part of the page, making it impossible for readers to ignore it.

Readers were not in the mood to watch the fun, but were concentrating on reading the reviews, eager to find a commentator to vent their questions and emotions.

"I have always believed that the most psychedelic literature is the one that captures the thoughts after a change of mind. This kind of literature does not require the participation of reality. But today I saw from Ms. Fu Ling that the ice and fire brought about by the interweaving of reality and fantasy is the most penetrating way of writing! This is a brand new narrative method!

"Have you noticed why it feels disconnected and yet self-consistent when reading it? Because Ms. Fuling always adds a little more from reality and brings it into fantasy. Ms. Fuling wrote that the magazine was burned down and it rained heavily. This is reality, but she had to add that it rained for three years and the fire never stopped for three years, so that all the evidence was preserved. This is fantasy. The two are connected very smoothly, making people doubt whether it is true at first glance, but then immediately judge it is false based on their common sense.

“The combination of truth and falsehood, reality and illusion, but Ms. Fuling did not exaggerate this fantasy, as if she just casually wrote it, so that the heavy tone of reality has been lingering, and the magical part has become a part of reality. I have never heard of this kind of writing. The design is too wonderful, cold and psychedelic, which makes me addicted!

"But what scares creatures is that isn't the reality described in the book magical? Frequent civil wars, seeking inspiration through taking addictive substances, the cries of marginalized cultures... These are so absurd in the eyes of every moral civilization today. In comparison, the reappearance of myths in the book seems more realistic.

“Magical realism literature… Such a novel creation, such a poignant creation, I think Anniversary should be called a masterpiece!”

This novelist from the psychedelic literature didn't care at all and slapped his own brand in the face. He was worried that Blue Star was too weak before, but he didn't expect the opposite to be true. Blue Star brought out heavyweight literature to exchange. He didn't feel ashamed of being at a disadvantage, but thought that Blue Star was so serious and he was really treated very well!

Hu Ke thought his analysis was very good, but the next second a novelist from the same brand came out to refute it.

"How dare you say that's not reality?"

The question mark of this objector seems to hide infinite blood and tears.

"I forgot that you are from another race and came to our brand... But the Ruilei Galaxy was originally a marginal civilization in the eyes of others. It relied on delirium literature to gain a foothold on the cosmic stage. Is the cry of a marginal civilization magical?

"After reading Ntusa's epitaph, I have never felt so much. Great, everyone says it is great, and even erects a monument for it. They erected a monument for the text, turning the literature that hides a knife into a harmless idol. Ntusa tried his best to use literature to speak out, but later generations were still oppressed by Jupiter invisibly and could not find a way out. Ntusa knew long ago that the act of erecting a monument was just flattery, so he left that epitaph - despicable literature hidden under greatness!

"The book says that Entusa's original writing style is to blend reality with mythology, which is consistent with the writing style of Fuling outside the book. But this planet, this Saturn, clearly has its own primitive culture!

"The local primitive myth appeared in the local area. Isn't it the law of heaven and earth and the revival of glory? Why do we and the readers in the book feel that it is full of absurdity and countless blood and tears when it appears?"

These questions are powerful and have caused countless readers to ponder deeply. Under the guidance of different book reviewers, they have a deeper understanding of the charm of Memorial Day.

The two psychedelic literature novelists looked at each other in the real space and continued to reply on the forum.

"I think the multi-layered evaluations of it by different readers is also a kind of magical realism..."

The author has something to say:
