Xi Yujin is shopping in the garbage dump again.
This time he was looking for a tool to write a novel. He could not feel the passage of time, but he could sense that the gases that made up him were constantly undergoing fiery reactions. His volume was much smaller than the sun, and he had not captured any celestial bodies except for space junk, so he was a low-mass lone star. The mass of a star only affects its lifespan but not its brightness, so he was still very dazzling in this area.
"Finally found it... I've been using my mental power for too long, and I feel like my body has become lighter..." Xi Yujin explored the mysteries of space and his new body, "Could it be that I'm suffering from mental disorder?"
It is not impossible that one might get sick as a result of adapting to local customs, but no matter what, Xi Yujin's top priority is to write novels.
He found a flat-panel communicator and connected to the black box. He guessed it was a scrapped panel from a spacecraft because it was quite large, but it was just right for him. It took him some time to learn how to operate it.
"So what kind of story should I write next?" Xi Yujin thought.
He has now become a planet. As long as he thinks back, many memories will be turned up. The texts he has read seem to be stored in his mind. He can read any page he wants. All the words and sentences are clear and he is very surprised. It seems that he also has a database for learning writing.
Along with the books, his childhood memories were also turned out.
At that time, when he returned home from school, he would always stay at the newsstand for a while, either to buy a newspaper or a new magazine. In those days, paper reading had not yet been impacted, and all kinds of physical comic books and novels were available at the newsstand, but they were all labeled as "idle books" and the school did not encourage reading. Only one type of magazine could be read openly in the classroom.
That is "Yi0", "Reading0", and "Youth0 Digest"!
It contains many good words, sentences and stories, and is a library of materials for writing essays. It is recommended by both students and teachers.
Although it was only when people grew up that they discovered that these magazines contained a lot of brainwashing information.
For example, the story of washing dishes.
A Chinese went to work in Sakura Country to wash dishes. The store in Sakura Country required them to wash dishes 7 times with detergent, not less than once. The Chinese did not understand, he thought washing 4 times was enough, why waste water to wash 7 times? A few days later, the Chinese was fired, because he did not wash dishes 7 times as required, which was detected by professional equipment. Ah, the seriousness and meticulousness of the Sakura people are really engraved in their bones. Chinese people, put aside your cleverness and laziness, you should learn from him!
Another example is the story of sending a child to kindergarten.
A Chinese sent his child to a Nordic kindergarten. One day, the child came back crying, saying that he was bitten. The Chinese went directly to the kindergarten to complain. The teacher's response was unexpectedly cold. It turned out that this was a way for foreigners to cultivate children's sense of competition, so that children would know from an early age that crying cannot solve problems. Ah, the Chinese people's doting education will only make children weak!
Xi Yujin looked back and realized that these classic stories were so poisonous. But these stories were very popular back then, which meant that everyone loved to read them. From what he had learned in recent days, the aesthetic tastes of cosmic creatures and earthlings were similar, so cosmic creatures might also like to read them.
He could have changed the core of these short stories to praise the humans on Earth and make the creatures in the universe reflect!
Secondly, even if the cosmic creatures here didn’t like it, he just wrote a short story and didn’t spend much effort.
Therefore, Xi Yujin's first short story in this universe is a reflective, soul-stirring story.
Xi Yujin thought for a moment and typed in the title of the first short story:
"Autobiography of an old homeless man: After many hardships, I finally understood that the best way to live life is just these two words."
“There are always many sudden plans in our lives. When we think of them, our blood boils and we can’t sit still. We can’t wait to go on a trip without any preparation.
However, after we calmed down, we began to think about the details of the plan, and we always felt that there was something missing. So we spent the next day refining the details of the plan, and there seemed to be a voice in our brain telling us: "If you don't make a perfect plan, the outcome will not be good." After a few days, when we had thought of everything, our initial enthusiasm had almost cooled down, and there was no point in continuing this plan.
In fact, no matter how perfect the plan is, it cannot be better than two words: "start".
On my home planet, Blue Star, there is a mountain mover named Yugong. Someone asked him, "The mountain is so big, when will you finish moving it?" He replied, "As long as you start moving the first stone, you can move the second stone, then the third stone, the fourth stone, and so on. As long as your descendants are endless, there will always be a day when you will finish moving the mountain!"
…
Xi Yujin typed very slowly, stopping from time to time to rest. He was sure that writing articles really consumed his mental energy. Fortunately, he was only writing a short story now.
After writing the draft in his own language, Xi Yujin began to translate it into Nomadic language word by word. Nomadic language is the product of the fusion of multiple ethnic languages. It does not pay much attention to grammar and word order, but there are many proper nouns that need to be annotated by word splitting. Therefore, Xi Yujin's article looks like it is composed of densely packed long words. The more Xi Yujin translated, the more guilty he felt. He was always worried that after his translation, this article would be seen as a nonsense essay by others.
The language barrier is a real difficulty. It would be great if he had an assistant translator.
Xi Yujin was worried, so he wrote another short story while he still had a lot of inspiration in his head. The title of this short story is:
"The top self-discipline of homeless people: able to endure loneliness, resist difficulties, and suppress arrogance"
“The universe is so vast. Instead of envying those who are outstanding, it is better to manage your own strengths. If you do these three self-discipline goals, you will not be defeated by life.
There was a poet named Li Bai on a distant blue planet. His poems are famous throughout history. However, when he was young, he was just a naughty kid who didn't want to study.
One day, he was strolling along the stream and saw an old woman sharpening an iron rod. Li Bai asked the old woman what she meant by this, and she said that if one worked hard enough, one could grind an iron rod into a needle! Li Bai was deeply shocked. Could the loneliness of studying be more lonely than that of sharpening a needle? So he changed his ways and studied hard from then on.
…
Xi Yujin was much more satisfied with this article! Nomadic language seemed to have become his second mother tongue, and his choice of words and sentences were very natural.
After completing the translation, Xi Yujin revised it again. He decided not to insert words that he didn't know how to use. Simple words might help readers read more fluently.
He didn't notice that when he finished this article, a stream of spiritual power flowed into his brain like a trickle. If other novelists saw it, they would probably be shocked: This is a gift from the universe!
Novelists also expend mental energy when writing articles, and if they write well, they will receive spiritual feedback directly at the moment of completion. This mental energy seems to be born directly from the universe, so it is called a gift from the universe.
Xi Yujin only felt that his brain became much more active, and he looked at his first draft with satisfaction.
Is writing an article easier than you thought? Do you seem to have a talent for it?
How about one more time?
Xi Yujin is addicted to writing and immediately starts writing his third document. The name of this short story is:
"These three details tear off the saddest fig leaf of homeless people."
"In life, everyone plays a role, and everyone wants to make themselves look bright and beautiful, for fear of drowning out their own light in the universe. But when people return to their flight cabin and want to take off the mask, they find that they have already merged with the mask.
How sad! "
…
Mission accomplished!
Xi Yujin finally exhausted all his inspiration.
He signed these three short stories with a pen name, which was also his first alias: Embers.
"I'll use this alias to write free short stories and practice writing." Xi Yujin thought, "If I can walk in human form in the future, I'll use this alias. After all, I still like this name very much..."
He looked at the vast universe and realized that he was indeed as small as a speck of dust. But no matter how small he was, he wanted to leave his light and heat like an ember.
But the next problem is, how to submit the article?
The way writers submit works in this universe is different from that on Earth. Writers usually build their own websites and put all their works on them, just like decorating their award display cabinets.
The writer then authorizes the work to be disseminated to various reading platforms and secondary creation platforms.
Only with genuine "authorization" can spiritual power be fed back to the author.
But things are a little different at the edge of the universe: the network here is too bad!
Many homeless people don’t even have electronic screens to read text, let alone read novels. So there is a unique information dissemination ecology here - authors submit their works to radio stations, and radio stations then read them aloud to the public.
This secondary transmission will greatly reduce the efficiency of relieving mental power. At the same time, no creature is willing to contribute to the edge of the universe radio station, which further causes the mental confusion of the vagrants on the edge of the universe to become more serious.
Xi Yujin's current equipment is even more rudimentary than the average homeless person's. He only has a radio and an electronic board with reading, writing, storage, and mailbox functions. He has not yet figured out many operations of the black box, let alone building a website. He is very happy with this simple way of submitting articles.
He wrote down several addresses mentioned on the radio, tentatively sent part of the manuscript using the email function, and then waited anxiously for a reply.
"Buzz"
The huge electronic screen suddenly vibrated, meaning it had received a reply.
Xi Yujin nervously opened the email function, and the first letter on it read "Subject: RiRiGold Rush Radio sincerely hopes to purchase the authorization to read your works."
He suddenly relaxed.
But it seems like there is more than one reply?
The second one reads, "Subject: Daegu Radio sincerely invites you to become a resident writer (PS: I will pay double the amount of money you pay for gold panning)"
The third letter: "Good Dream Radio is willing to purchase the reading rights of your works at a high price!!"
Scrolling down, there are many radio stations that Xi Yujin has not listened to. A total of 14 radio stations are buying the reading rights from Xi Yujin, and some radio stations have even started bidding?
Hey, why are there so many?!
Were the nomads on the edge of the universe really fooled by him?
