On this day, Lin Shu was still thinking about the plot - "The Road to Eternal Life" was updated to the later stage, and both Lin Shu as the author and the readers who had been following the updates had entered a relatively weak state.
The routine is used all the time, but it cannot be used from the beginning to the end. Otherwise, even the most unpicky readers will eventually get tired of it.
For example, in a pretentious plot like "The Rich Never Return to Their Hometown", it is very suitable to use it on the foundation-building stage when the protagonist is in the Jindan stage, but when the protagonist reaches the Yuanying stage, using it on the foundation-building stage is equivalent to mocking the readers' IQ, but using it on the Jindan stage will make readers think that the protagonist is a Yuanying stage cultivator after all, how can he be so low-class?
From this perspective, a single-line novel is indeed not easy to write.
Moreover, in the later stages of the series, the plot is unlikely to be as lively as in the early stages. In Lin Shu's writing, the character of the protagonist Zheng Yun remains the same, but it is impossible for there to be no changes at all.
If the protagonist's character does not change at all, the plot will seem very rigid.
"Life." Lin Shu sighed for the Nth time.
"Get rid of this person who spreads negative energy." Gujiu said mercilessly.
Lin Shu silently typed a question mark.
Xue Wu came online and asked how many words the serialized version of "The Road to Eternal Life" had. After Lin Shu reported 700,000, the group members fell silent.
"The word count of my three articles." Xue Wu said, "If the article is shorter."
Guju: "...Fork it out."
Lin Shu: “?”
"...my word count over the past two years." Guju sent a ground-pounding emoji. "I've come to the conclusion that writing too much will make me tired. It's better to write less."
Three question marks immediately appeared in the group, and Gujiu's criticism meeting began.
"About a year and a half, I haven't written that little..." Gujiu continued to send the head-holding emoji, "Stop scolding me, stop scolding me, I will definitely write well next year."
“…It feels like you say this every year.”
"Do I have it?"
“Yes, absolutely!”
"Okay, enough complaining, I'm going back to write." Lin Shu said.
Guju couldn't help but complain about him again: "I always feel like this person goes from low to high so quickly. Is there no emotion in between?"
Teriyaki Chicken Legs seems to be a top writer in the online literature circle, the best among the best. But after getting to know him more deeply, you will find that he has quite a lot of flaws.
"Honestly, I really want to cast a spell and give me the power to write like a chicken drumstick."
Guju's idea was met with disdain from two other group members: "Don't forget, Tui is the one who wrote 'Today's Fortune Telling'."
If the members of this group cast spells, Lin Shu’s spells are definitely the most effective.
…
For Lin Shu, this was just an ordinary day of typing, no different from any other day. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Dora, and then he stroked the cat's fur while thinking about the plot of the new chapter.
Then he declined the sudden appearance and told Lin Shu suddenly, "Are you free to have dinner with my parents today?"
Lin Shu was pondering this, and it took him a while to react. Then he asked, "Today? Now?"
Lieutenant General Xie nodded in confusion: "Yes."
Lin Shu: “…”
This person spoke in such a light tone that it seemed like this matter was insignificant, but...it's actually very important, okay?
Lin Shu looked at Xie Jue tentatively: "Did your parents say that? Today?"
Decline or nod.
Lin Shu felt something was wrong.
He had met Xie Jue's parents, although mostly in public. They had never had any private, formal communication. It wasn't that Lin Shu didn't want to meet Marshal Xie and Ms. Yang Liu, but that Xie refused to let him meet them.
Therefore, Lin Shu felt that even if he wanted to meet these two people, it should be done in a more serious manner and he should be more fully prepared.
As a result... it came so suddenly.
Lin Shu suspected that Xie Jue was definitely lying about military intelligence.
But Lieutenant General Xie acted as if he absolutely didn't say that: "They really said that."
Lin Shu didn't believe it, so he went to ask Ms. Yang Liu.
A few minutes later, he got the answer. Marshal Xie and Ms. Yang Liu said that when Lin Shu was free one day, Xie Jue could take him to meet them.
Lieutenant General Xie's brain was probably equipped with some kind of automatic filtering device, which filtered out part of his hearing, IQ and brain, and that day became today, and became now.
Lin Shu then beat up Lieutenant General Xie.
He usually would give Lieutenant General Xie a light kick, but this time he gave him a heavy blow, hitting Lieutenant General Xie's waist hard. Xie Jue immediately pretended to lie down, but secretly grabbed Lin Shu's calf, making it impossible for Lin Shu to continue.
Lin Shu: "Today?"
"I was wrong." Lieutenant General Xie immediately slid to his knees. "I misheard."
"Isn't it too different?" Lin Shu continued to glare at him.
"Wouldn't it be better to meet earlier?" After saying a few more words, Lieutenant General Xie revealed his original purpose.
Lin Shu glared even more fiercely: "I knew it!"
Xie Dora with bad intentions!!
Lieutenant General Xie continued to play innocent: "It wasn't me who brought it up, it was my parents who brought it up first."
Marshal Xie has now retired to the second line. Several qualified people in the military are vying for the position of marshal, but Marshal Xie has been left with nothing to do and is only a figurehead. Although he is qualified to express his opinion on the candidate for the next marshal, Marshal Xie will not take the initiative to intervene.
Although several candidates competed fiercely, they did not dare to offend him easily. When it came to Marshal Xie's position, it might not be easy to add icing on the cake, but it was easy to do something bad in the middle of the process. Now was the critical moment, and no one wanted to cause trouble.
