[Extra] Year-end betting incident!
November 14, 2024, Autumn.
It has been more than a year since Luo Shiqin published a new article in series. During this year, she also completed several short stories.
But what's interesting is that the serialized novel with her as the protagonist was handed over to Abanach, who then sent it to another dimension.
Therefore, whether this novel is popular or not in the alien space, Luo Shiqin has no idea - after all, the main reason for serializing this novel is to fulfill Abanahe's wish, and secondly to prepare for the future battle against a stronger evil god.
Regarding the attitude of readers of Different Space... Luo Shiqin has written novels, so she naturally knows how much influence reviews have on a novelist.
Therefore, she did not intend to pay too much attention to the reader feedback on this novel - since she had no way to revise it anyway, she might as well not pay attention to it.
But today, something very interesting happened.
Luo Shiqin received an invitation letter this morning.
The address to her was extremely respectful, and even though Luo Shiqin's pen name was extremely long, it did not dampen the other party's enthusiasm, and she was sincerely invited to the venue to participate in the exhibition.
[Dear author Sailororororoli Sailorisai: Hello! 】
She sat in the car, opened the paper invitation letter, and looked at the long list of ID names, even though they were her own pen names, she couldn't help but remain silent.
The invitation letter used gorgeous words to praise her writing. Luo Shiqin patiently read to the end before the other party revealed their true intention.
[This exhibition sincerely invites the author of "Sailoruoluoluoluolisai" to the venue to meet with many fans and readers. We are looking forward to your arrival! 】
Luo Shiqin: …
In short, she really saw the corresponding street number on the navigation map and is now preparing to follow the navigation instructions to her destination.
She sat in the back seat and looked at her watch again.
It's still early, only eight o'clock.
This place was not far from the destination. Luo Shiqin put down her hands and turned her head to look at the surrounding scenery.
Abanahe: [This is an invitation from them.]
Luo Shiqin nodded slightly, indicating that she understood.
So she was even more looking forward to seeing where she would end up. Could it be that she would have to travel through time like breaking through the dimensional wall?
But Luo Shiqin prefers to be like the Book of Mutated Life, changing the settings around her unconsciously -
Just like this.
Not long after getting off the car, Luo Shiqin was bumped by someone who suddenly ran up from behind.
"Excuse me!!"
Luo Shiqin's eyes blurred, and within her field of vision she saw large sheets of leaflets flying all over the sky.
She quickly stood still, then subconsciously raised her hand to catch the one that happened to fall in front of her.
"Dark Horse Cartoonist makes a strong appearance?" The colorful flyer in her hand had a picture of... a person holding a potted orchid on his head? Luo Shiqin looked at the protagonist who took up a large space on the flyer in astonishment. "Dark Horse Cartoonist won the title of Knife Cartoonist of the Quarter with the golden-edged spider plant?"
What and what?!
Luo Shiqin had an expression of "not understanding but respecting" on her face, and then put down the flyer in her hand.
This time, when she looked up, she saw the huge exhibition entrance that had appeared not far away - and the densely packed queues of people outside.
Luo Shiqin: …
This crossing into another dimension is too sudden, isn't it?!
Luo Shiqin was a little overwhelmed, but she soon calmed down.
However, it was clear that the other world did not intend to let her gradually accept this setting, and a familiar life-size standee was carried past her.
Luo Shiqin: …
Wait, wait, wait!
This thing looks familiar!!
She narrowed her eyes and looked at the human-shaped stand that was gradually moving away from her with seven parts shock, two parts disbelief and one part suspicion.
Even though it has been reduced from the three-dimensional world to the two-dimensional world...it is obvious that the person on it is her!!
Wearing red half-frame glasses, a mole under the eye, and a two-dimensional image with short hair - that is definitely her!!!
"That..."
Suddenly, a shy female voice came to her ears, and Luo Shiqin subconsciously turned her head to look.
The girl with the camera hanging around her neck looked at her shyly with a smile, as if a little embarrassed: "Excuse me, are you COSing (role playing) 'Luo Shiqin'?"
Luo Shiqin herself: "Ah? Ah..." She paused, then said naturally and affirmatively: "That's right."
Yes, she is a cosplayer!
The girl who asked the question's eyes lit up, her cheeks flushed with excitement, and her eyes sparkled: "Teacher, can I take a picture of you?!"
Luo Shiqin: “Ah?”
"Your COS is so similar, this is the first time I've seen such a similar 'Luo Shiqin'!" The girl said excitedly, "Although the old thief often has haircuts, his painting skills are impeccable! I didn't expect that in my lifetime I would see a teacher COS the Luo senior sister painted by the old thief so similar!! "
Luo Shiqin blinked and sorted out her thoughts: "Old thief?"
"Ah! I'm not talking about you, teacher!" The girl quickly waved her hands and explained, "I'm talking about the 'Dark Horse Cartoonist' who was invited to participate in this exhibition! The organizer of the exhibition said that the two teachers had communicated privately, and then this exhibition specially invited the Dark Horse Cartoonist to customize the graphic image of Luo Shiqin - wow, really! Teacher, your COS is so similar! Whether it's makeup or temperament, it's exactly the same as her!"
Because it’s really me!
Luo Shiqin was completely unaware of the so-called "communication with Dark Horse cartoonists for customized graphic images", so it is very likely that Abanach agreed to it.
Abanahe: [I mentioned this to you before, but you ignored it and said I was responsible for it.]
Luo Shiqin: …
She thought about it carefully and it seemed to be true.
But she was busy as hell at that time!
The consequences of not paying attention now came back to haunt her, so Luo Shiqin had no choice but to take photos with the other party with a smile, and then went to the venue according to the girl's kind suggestion.
Luo Shiqin had an invitation letter with her, but before she could hand it out when she reached the door, she saw the security guard letting her in.
Luo Shiqin:.
Needless to say, she knew she had done her COS like the real person.
The exhibition was very large and there were many people attending.
Luo Shiqin walked in the guest channel and found that this time there were not only novelists, but also comic authors and game production teams attending the conference, but they were divided into several areas. So when she walked to a higher place, she could easily see the comic area in the distance where people were signing books desperately.
Luo Shiqin was silent.
The invitation letter didn't mention that she was to come for a book signing?!
"Ms. Ceroro?"
A voice called out from not far away, and a woman with a work badge was surprised when she saw her.
"You're finally here..." After she walked in front of Luo Shiqin, she couldn't help but sigh, "Your COS is so realistic, it must have taken a lot of effort, right?"
Is there a possibility that it is me?
If her attire had not been different from the official signboard, Luo Shiqin might have really become the protagonist of a news story about a "novel character appearing in reality."
She smiled and said, "Hello?"
"I am the host of this exhibition. Please follow me."
The staff quickly returned to professional mode and took Luo Shiqin behind a long table at the exhibition.
Standing on the red carpet, Luo Shiqin glanced at the long queue in the distance and twitched her lips: "What is this...?"
"It's a handshake meeting!" the host said with a smile, "This is the last voting for the protagonist of the novel at the end of the year! Fortunately, you came, otherwise the readers and fans would probably have spent a regretful New Year."
Is that really an exaggeration?
Luo Shiqin sat on the assigned chair and listened to the background music. The readers and fans who had been waiting for a long time were finally led to the front row.
“Ahhhhhh Luo Shiqin!! Senior Sister Luo!!!”
The first reader fan who was introduced immediately let out a sharp cry, and then spoke to Luo Shiqin, who was smiling blankly, with the first words that made her soul tremble:
"I am your dog, Senior!!!"
The smile on Luo Shiqin's face finally froze, and then she slowly typed a question mark.
That's not right, there wasn't such a lineup at the new book launch of Smart Era? ! !
This exhibition has been held many times before, bringing the year-end character voting activity on the novel website to a climax.
This time, after hearing that the novelist who wrote the character "Luo Shiqin" was going to the exhibition, many readers were so excited that they almost crashed the platform's registration website.
But it was clearly worth it.
When readers arrived at the event and saw "Cerororororori Celorisai" himself, they were so excited that they released their nature.
Serolo actually COSed as "Luo Shiqin"!
Not only the makeup is restored, but also the temperament is restored!
The kind of COS that perfectly combines mystery, gentleness, and villain temperament - other big guys COS the appearance, but Cerolo directly COS the soul!!
Is there any reader who can eat so well and so deliciously? !
As expected of the author!!
Readers who managed to grab tickets to the exhibition this time expressed their satisfaction.
In fact, a few months ago, there was no original novel with "Luo Shiqin" as the protagonist on the platform. It seemed that no author admitted that the character of "Luo Shiqin" was created by himself. At most, they made fan-made secondary creations about it. It seemed that because this character broke the dimensional wall and sent an author who violated the law to jail, this character became an unspeakable "taboo" for authors.
Of course the situation was not that serious, but it was mainly marketing and hype, as well as the ubiquitous use of memes, so that the author of the novel did not realize it until several months later.
The delicate text and extremely novel angles have made readers who originally did not believe that the character "Luo Shiqin" was created by Serororororoli Seroroli slowly fall in love with this unique writing style, and now they can see the author himself directly COSing as the protagonist.
The readers followed the strategy and then shot like crazy.
He came from behind and took the lead at an unstoppable speed.
But Luo Shiqin didn't know much about this, because for her, after she and Abanahe discussed and reached a consensus, the year-end voting in Alien Space was no longer that important - at least Luo Shiqin didn't care much about it, but Abanahe almost lived on the voting website and watched it all the time.
Only now did Luo Shiqin realize how great an influence she had in the alien space.
Most importantly, she also met Chu Ye.
Yes, that’s right, it’s the male protagonist in the Misty Town, Chu Ye.
He seemed to have come with his sister, both of them were covered with "Luo Shiqin" pain bags and peripherals. When Chu Ye stood in front of Luo Shiqin, he even wore a giant headdress with "My Recommended Principal" written on it, and a "Luo Shiqin Miwu Middle School Principal Limited Edition" badge on it.
Luo Shiqin: …
She pretended not to notice the other person's stiff and shocked look, turned around and smiled at Chu Wen: "Hello."
"Please please please give me an autograph, please!!"
Chu Wen still had the classic fan abuse of "Luo Shiqin" on her face, and she was so excited that she was incoherent: "I am the most loyal Luo Shiqin! Please give me a Luo-style TO signature! This is my lifelong request!!"
Luo Shiqin smiled: "...Okay, I wish you success in your career and good fortune in the future."
She still can't understand you readers from another dimension - what kind of fetish is this!?
Didn’t we agree that this wasn’t a book signing event? Why did I still have to write “TO”?
After an unknown amount of time, the queue of readers finally came to an end, and the exhibition was about to end. Luo Shiqin finally let go of the smile on her face, and gradually shifted towards the direction of "taking everything lightly".
"Well, that's the end of today's exhibition!"
The host waved happily at the readers and then announced.
"The next voting results will be announced on the last day of this year! Dear readers, please look forward to it!"
Now, what will the first place prize be?
Luo Shiqin returned home feeling slightly tired. The exhaustion from the handshake meeting made her fall into a deep sleep.
Until the end of December.
She received another invitation letter.
[Congratulations to Ms. Cerolo (omitted here) for winning the first place in this year-end voting! The platform will give priority to recommending your work in the next novel adaptation comic or game. I hope your writing career will become more and more broad in the future! ]
Luo Shiqin: ? ?
Wait, there's no need to rewrite it at all!
【End of article】
Great! It's completely finished! Thank you for your support! The number of words exceeded my expectation by so many, so many, it's incredible!
I will announce a lucky draw a few days after the full article is finished. I hope you can get good luck in the next year! Welcome the new year with the blessings of the author and Senior Sister Luo!
I wish you a happy 2024 in advance! May you be healthy and happy every day next year!
