Chapter 7 The disappeared author is back!
However, just a few minutes after Huo Yan successfully made the call, an old man's full-strength voice came from the fishing platform far away in the East Bay Recreation Area:
"Ah, what? That stinky boy Huo Ting wants to throw away the fish tank?"
Huo Yuejiang, who is now over 70 years old, is still in good health. At this time, he was holding the fishing rod and heard the news from the optical computer communication beside him. He wanted to jump up in anxiety.
"I told you a long time ago that the conch was given to me by a mermaid couple. I'm not so old and confused that I even remembered this wrong!" "
In short, the fish tank and the conch must not be thrown away. If Huo Ting is not satisfied when he comes back, let him come to me in person."
Huo Yuejiang was almost angry at the confirmation of Secretary Hornier on the other end of the communication.
Soon, there was another noise in the communication. It was obvious that someone had changed on the other end of the computer. This time, Huo Yan's chattering voice came.
"Okay, okay, I'll bring you some good things later."
After hearing Huo Yan's voice on the other end of the computer, Huo Yuejiang smiled so much that his wrinkles were curled up.
"This kid is afraid of his cousin. He didn't dare to look for Huo Ting, but he was smart enough to look for you."
The old woman not far away couldn't help but smile a little after hearing the noise.
It was no secret in the family that Huo Yan was fearless but only afraid of his cousin.
But most of the elders were happy to see it happen.
"I didn't expect to stay for so long this time. I'm not interested in anything else, but I like your fish tank."
In response to his wife's sigh, Huo Yuejiang said:
"That fish tank is so beautiful and fun! It's just that Huo Ting has a weird temper and doesn't like it."
However, facing Huo Yuejiang's stubborn temper, his wife did not comment:
"But even if you help to stop it now, it will not be easy for Huo Ting to deal with Huo Yan when he comes back."
"In the final analysis, this matter was really nonsense from the beginning to the end."
And this time, Huo Yuejiang was fishing, and finally couldn't help but recall the adventure of going out to sea when he was young.
One time when he went out to sea, he unknowingly entered an extremely unfamiliar deep sea area, and even the weather became very bad.
Just when the ship was about to sink, I was unexpectedly saved by a mermaid couple.
I thought I was dazzled at first, but in fact, they were indeed a pair of very beautiful mermaids, just like in all the legends and myths.
And after relaxing, they even started chatting, and I couldn't help but take out the photo of my grandson Huo Ting hidden in my chest.
In the photo, Huo Ting was still young at that time, and he was so cute in a military uniform.
Unexpectedly, the mermaid couple also liked it very much, and directly gave me a conch as a joke and said they wanted to arrange a baby marriage.
But since then, they have never disappeared.
Even with this conch as a clue, I even asked the entire secretariat to search through the main star's sea records and surveillance that day, but I couldn't find the young mermaid couple who saved me in the first sea.
It was as if he had never existed in this universe.
So much so that Huo Yuejiang would occasionally wonder if he really had a dream?
"Well, if Huo Ting still wants to throw me away after he comes back this time, then just throw me away."
If that memory really existed, even if it wasn't what he meant back then, it would be nice for the two kids to just meet and be friends.

Meanwhile, Yu Mian didn't realize how long he had been asleep.
He just felt dizzy and encountered many bizarre things in his dream.
I dreamed of the time when I was a child and was dragged out to sea by my parents without any care, but the wind blew my hair on the deck and I cried and hid in their arms and refused to come out...
I also dreamed of not seeing them once a year after I grew up, but I would receive letters and small things from my parents at different frequencies.
The letters often contained everything.
Those beautiful little shells, small beads and other random and strange little things that I picked up would all be sent back.
Speaking of which, I haven't received the letter this time for a long time...
No!
Didn't I die suddenly from staying up late to write?
Yu Mian, who realized that something was wrong in his dream, finally opened his eyes, and the pattern of the conch in front of him instantly came into his eyes.
Shaking his tail and shaking his head, Yu Mian realized that he seemed to have slept in a conch for a long time.
Did he turn into a fish and return to the fish tank? Did he not leave the small world?
Did he fail the mission! ?
[Ding Dong——]
[The first stage of the initial mission of "Starlight Appears" is completed! Unlock the basic tutorial of small world exploration: Beginner's Guide to Using Mental Power]
[Additional warning! The popularity value obtained this time contains 73% black impurities, and the data shows a rapid upward trend. Please deal with it as soon as possible, otherwise you may face unknown risks of failure! ]
Almost at the same time when Yu Mian woke up, a series of reward notifications were issued.
Beginner's Guide to Using Mental Power?
There is still a blackening degree to deal with?
Yu Mian found that he seemed to be able to sense a small ball of golden mist in his mind.
And as he focused his attention, this ball of golden mist could flow.
When they focused on the tail...
"Blah——" The sound of water surged.
"It really turned back!"
Yu Mian, who had mastered the switching technique this time, was very happy to hold the wall of the fish tank and shake the light golden fish tail in the water.
This reward is too practical!
And since it is an entry-level guide, can there be more advanced ones?
For example, turning the fish tail back into legs?
Yu Mian tried to concentrate all his attention on the tail this time, but it was obvious that the golden mist was not enough, and it was difficult to maintain it.
"Well, as a fish, you can't be too greedy."
Yu Mian tapped the water surface with his tail.
He probably knew what the mental power meant, but he didn't know what the black value meant...
"Hey! Are you awake? How do you feel?"
The fish watching from the side also shouted in surprise.
Yu Mian then realized that there was a bunch of cute fish food left by the fish next to his conch shell.
"I feel much better, thank you."
Yu Mian's thanks instantly made the fish feel a little embarrassed.
"Ahem, it's nothing."
"But the little biped you met seems to have successfully taken away the old bipeds that wanted to move the fish tank!"
"That's right! No bipeds have come to the study since then. It seems to have been locked up."
Oh, the fish tank.
Yu Mian then realized that the study had returned to peace, and the fish tank was still quietly placed in the center.
Could it be that the small hot water kettle he encountered that day really helped?
Didn't he tell those people about his existence?
And he also has his own novel series.
The study is locked and no one is there, so isn't it a good time to quickly write the update and save some manuscripts.
"But you've been sleeping for five days, aren't you hungry?"
The fish watched Yu Mian come out of the fish tank again and sit back in front of the strange optical computer. This time they were not surprised, but just asked with some concern.
?
"Huh? I slept for five days?"
Yu Mian, who was activating the optical computer, was a little dazed when he heard the fish's question.
"Yeah, for five whole days, if your tail hadn't occasionally swayed, we would have thought something had happened to you!"
The fish were quite sure of Yu Mian's shock.
At this moment, Yu Mian, who was logging into the author's backstage, suddenly felt that things had become exciting.
Could this be the risk of blackening that the system was talking about?
After all, as the author, I can say that I know the plot development context of the story better than anyone else.
The beginning that I have just updated is definitely stuck on an emotional explosion point of a volcanic eruption.
The two protagonists signed an agreement to hold a wedding due to a shocking misunderstanding.
Both parties had a deep misunderstanding of each other.
Gu Bai had to accept the marriage proposal because of his mother's medical expenses. He was also depressed because he thought he was "self-indulgent" and mistook his best friend. Caesar,
as a golden-haired overlord who said one thing and thought another, was aggrieved and angry, suspecting that he had given his first love to the wrong person...
This enchanting plot point is probably unbearable for any normal person.
However, as an author, I got stuck at this juncture and was so arrogant that I stopped updating for five days!
It seems normal for readers to turn evil.
I just don't know what level 73% is. Is it the kind of anger that makes people want to scatter their ashes?
Even so, the next second after opening the book page, the data that popped up in front of me still shocked Yu Mian deeply.
Collections: 329760
Comments: 178790
Honors: No. 1 on the Rising Star List
The reward for this mission is so good, I guess I have doubled the mission?
And I have only published 30,000 words, and the list is just a common list of newcomers, but there are already 320,000 collections.
The comments are even more terrifying, reaching more than 170,000.
If Yu Mian was just surprised when he saw this, then when he saw the reward page, Yu Mian even suspected that he had read it wrong.
A full 300,000 starlight value reward?
Oh, oh, oh, are all interstellar readers so generous! The reward for a new book without a contract is so generous.
After clicking on it, I found that the three hundred thousand star points of Datou were awarded by the same person.
But this doesn't seem good.
The readers are enthusiastic about rewarding and supporting, but the stupid author has disappeared for five days...
This really looks like absconding with the money!
Yu Mian was suddenly ashamed, feeling that he had become a star-crossed code cheater after sleeping for five whole days.
The kind of scum who deceived the passion and emotions of the star-crossed readers with a tens of thousands of words and then disappeared.
[Merit -100000]
I must deal with this wave of blackening value quickly.
In fact, the comment area after five days can indeed be said to be quite chaotic.
New readers heard about this book through various channels, so they clicked in out of curiosity or boredom.
As soon as I finished reading it, my worldview collapsed.
Just like the first batch of readers who fell into the pit five days ago, my brain was exploding.
They all gathered in the comment area like chirping birds to discuss the plot and the two protagonists.
As for the old readers who have been waiting for five days, they no longer bother to join the team of newcomers, and are crazy about why there have been no updates.
Is the author too tired to bear it and decided to stop writing?
Or did something unexpected happen, or did he forget his account password?
But no matter what, it is really unacceptable to stop updating for five days!
[Anyway, no one understands how I spent these five days. There was no update notification, but I was still refreshing like an obsession! ]
[I planned to read it all in one go after the exam, but I cried to find that there was no update of even a single chapter. Where are you, the author! ? 】
Those who were more anxious had already started to doubt Yu Mian's identity and motives.
【I even suspected that the author was sent by the neighboring platform to engage in malicious business wars. He updated tens of thousands of words to drive people crazy and then disappeared. Now I get a headache when I see the icon of the Huanyu APP! (Crash)
Even the headquarters of the Universal Reading APP has been shocked by this incident.
Because in these five days, the customer service department has received countless identical complaints. The
customer service hotline is almost overwhelmed by such a group of persistent readers!
[Hey, are you the Universal Editorial Department? The novel I read hasn't been updated for a long time. Did you forget to publish the updates in the author's manuscript box? Is your server made by Tudou? We want to complain——! ]
