Chapter 75: Affection is always annoyed by ruthlessness~
The first batch of Star Interstellar readers who fell into the trap immediately cried out on the Internet for the exciting behavior of Yu Mian's new book.
I never expected that this time, the three consecutive updates would lead to such a tragedy of the century!
And who was it that spread the word on the Star Internet that the new book of Mr. Fish Soup Noodles was not as novel and exciting as the previous ones? How could it not be novel and exciting! It
made everyone's mouths sore that they almost felt sour. They wished they had a time machine to travel to the next day to see what the next chapter update would be.
[And it's so strange, although this time it is still a rebirth article, the content is completely different from the previous Star Interstellar Soldier King! The image of the protagonist is also very different, and he looks like a villain. But I actually don’t dislike Pei Yan that much. On the contrary, I think he’s a bit pitiful…】
【Wuwuwu, I was like that too, but I swear that my values are definitely not determined by my appearance. Besides, my younger brother Pei Shen’s various actions are so strange. Why did he do nothing to his older brother Pei Yan in his previous life?】
【The key is that I really want to know how they gave birth to and adopted children back then? Mr. Fish Soup Noodle said that this is a book about a true or false young master. After reading the first three chapters, I was really shocked and my brain almost went dizzy! Are there other books with similar themes?】 For
the first time readers of Star Interstellar who read the theme of a true or false young master and did not read the subsequent main text after reading the first three chapters, they are undoubtedly in pain and joy.
The joy is that I have read another very exciting new topic, but the pain is that this is really the only one in the entire Star Network, and there is no similar article at all!
[Sometimes I really want to crack open the fish soup noodle teacher's head to see what is in it, and how can there be so many new ideas TAT]
One of the slightly stimulating reader comments received the highest number of likes in one fell swoop.
After the release of the new book "Rebirth", Yu Mian actually paid attention to the relevant backend data throughout the process.
The entire Universal Editorial Department, including the editor Shakes, is even more so.
After all, when the deputy editor first received the manuscript for this new book, he was a little nervous after reading the first draft.
Because this is indeed a bold attempt with a very imperfect protagonist character.
In "Reborn as a Star Soldier King", Lin Mu's passionate and positive character is beyond words, and his political correctness has been praised by official book reviews.
Even compared to Gu Bai, who gradually grew up to be a self-reliant pianist in "Agreed Marriage", or Su Yan, who eventually became a knowledgeable historian in "Eternal Night Rose", Pei Yan, the protagonist of "Reborn Again", is the most different one.
He is sensitive and suspicious, and even jealous.
He is naturally proud and competitive, but he has indeed suffered a terrible failure in unfamiliar fields...
If he is not the protagonist, such a character looks like a villain!
"So is it too risky to write about such a protagonist? After all, Mr. Fish Soup Noodle is no longer the young author he was back then. The attention from all sides is quite complex, and we have to consider the impact."
The deputy editor looked at the Shax editor again and again. However, the Shax editor, who had countless experiences before, had some different ideas after hesitation this time.
"The protagonist this time does seem to have big character flaws, but it is precisely because of the great failure in his previous life before rebirth and the many regrets that readers may be more looking forward to the second life after rebirth. Will the protagonist Pei Yan take a new path?"
"Although this book is still about rebirth, the use of rebirth elements is very novel. I even think that after the serialization of Mr. Yu Tangmian's book, it can change the recent problem of the new book themes in the world being too identical."
This problem mentioned by editor Shax made the deputy editor think about it.
In fact, as old bookworms like Lu Wei have realized, since the themes of each of Yu Mian's new books are so new that they are completely outside the old system of interstellar novels, every time a new book is published, a large number of readers will feel empty and lonely after reading it, and they will be so hungry that they will ask everywhere if there are any new books with similar themes!
However, once a new theme is brought into the interstellar era, and this theme was previously blank, the demand will naturally create a market, and many new books with the same theme will appear to fill the market gap.
The only problem is that many authors have not yet opened their minds to the impact of interstellar novel literature for the first time.
"This month alone, I have reviewed nearly thousands of books on the theme of rebirth. The key is that every rebirth involves upgrading, fighting monsters, and searching for treasures in secret places!"
"But this time, Mr. Yu Tangmian's new book shows a new idea. Rebirth can have more variety and possibilities."
Shax's words made many editors in the editorial department nod their heads in agreement.
"And no matter what, the data performance of "Rebirth" is as strong as ever. In any case, the new book will not stall as some people say..."
So far, the number of comments from readers urging for updates has once again broken the record of the number of comments on the first day of the release of a new book on the Universal Station.
This point is undeniable no matter how many people criticize it.
"That's right!"
For a while, the atmosphere in the editorial department was much more relaxed.
Yu Mian's pen name is now definitely famous, so as soon as the new book is released, attention and discussion from all sides immediately became noisy.
After all, whether it is in the interstellar or on Earth, when an author becomes popular, while expectations are ushered in, the pressure from all sides is definitely increasing day by day.
And in the matter of novel writing, the only voters are paying readers who subscribe.
No matter how shocking the previous works of a great writer are, once the new book does not perform well, even if it is forced to be recommended on the best list, the subscription data will immediately reflect the decline, and cases of being overtaken by newcomers are not uncommon. In a sense, this industry is still quite cruel.
This is why Yu Mian will never feel lazy even if his previous works such as "Contract Marriage" have taken off smoothly, and he will never feel lazy when he starts writing his new book "Reborn Again".
Every time he starts a new article, it is a new challenge.
[Don't you feel tired? ]
The small system watched the analysis and communication between Shax Editor and Yu Mian, and couldn't help asking.
"Of course not, this is actually my favorite professional characteristic."
Yu Mian explained while replying to the data feedback given by Shax Editor.
[Why? ]
"Because this is actually a very fair performance in the industry, there is no such thing as a learning valve."
Yu Mian took another sip of water, and finally closed the dialog box with Shakes Editor.
The water cup in his hand was a very cute mother-of-pearl white cup, which was sent by Huo Yan at one time. It inexplicably struck Yu Mian's mermaid aesthetic.
So after asking Huo Ting for consent, such a water cup exclusively for Yu Mian was placed on the table.
Although the style is indeed very different from the overall style of the study, it is even more amazing when placed together with Huo Ting's water cup.
It can be seen at a glance that the owners of the two water cups probably have completely different personalities, but they appear together.
[So are we going to go out and take a look at the house tomorrow? ]
Regarding Yu Mian's silent sizing of the different behaviors of the two water cups, the small system couldn't help but remind him of the subsequent schedule.
Because Huo Ting left a note the day before yesterday, saying that an important guest would come to the study tomorrow, originally to remind Yu Mian to pay attention.
As a result, Yu Mian came up with a new idea.
That is, he just happened to not go out for a long time, and the performance of the new article was basically determined after it was published, and there were several chapters in the manuscript, so he might as well go and see those houses in person.
Moreover, after the fish tail concentrated on the scales during this period, the situation was inexplicably stable, and the newly grown scales were even more gorgeous in light gold.
"It even looks very flashy! It's a bit like a peacock spreading its tail."
Yu Mian looked left and right at his beautiful fish tail, and the first four words that came to his mind were "peacock spreading its tail."
"It's a pity that it's useless for you to be flashy."
He would not let this fish tail be discovered. [鱼鱼冷酷.jpg]
I just don’t know when the adulthood that Grandma Delanqi mentioned will come, but it shouldn’t be too soon, right?
So Yu Mian left a new note for Huo Ting, telling him that he might just be out for a day, so that Huo Ting doesn’t have to worry too much if he doesn’t see the new note.
“But will this guy be worried?”
When Yu Mian wrote the last sentence, he felt a little embarrassed for some reason, but since he had already written it, it seemed unnecessary to cross it out.
In response, Huo Ting got the note and learned that the resident in the study was actually brave enough to go out, and immediately looked at the scale that had been kept in the box.
“…”
He subconsciously felt very worried.
After all, no matter what, it is safe to stay in the old house. In a sense, this young man of a special race made the right choice for his temporary residence.
But Huo Ting just picked up the pen to write a reply, and paused after writing a few words.
Because no matter from what standpoint, he did not seem to dissuade the other party's identity.
But after Huo Ting put down the pen, when he was working in the military all day, the information on the note would slide through his mind when he was a little free.
His brows were inexplicably furrowed a little, and even Secretary Hals noticed that something was wrong.
It's strange that the mood of his young master has become more and more unpredictable recently.
Sometimes he seems to be in an inexplicably good mood, and sometimes he seems a little unexpected.
What is going on?
Huo Ting, who had been concerned for a whole day, finally saw the pile of new things on the table.
"Ah, what is this, a map? And a backpack with instant nutritional liquid in it?"
Yu Mian looked at the note on the side, and after being sure that it was for him, he was shocked when he opened it.
The things inside were so varied that people who didn't know would think he was going on a long journey.
[That guy might be afraid that you would get lost in Central Star. ]
The small system looked at the map and complained silently.
There was actually a travel guide for daily life, and even how to take public transportation was explained.
It looked like it was specially designed for tourists who came to Central Star for the first time.
"Be safe and come back early..."
Yu Mian read the message on the small note, and felt that he was now very much like a small game called Traveling Frog that he had played before.
Yu Mian couldn't help laughing when he thought of this.
But it didn't feel bad.
When a person comes to the interstellar age, there are still people who worry about you.
"It's just that Huo Ting's preparation is a bit of a waste. These things can't be taken away this time."
Because Yu Mian didn't ask Huo Yan for help this time, but planned to let the "dandelion" left by Granny Delangi play a role.
Yu Mian found a small sealed bag and filled it with water, then changed into the form of a small fish and put himself in it.
After the small system helped to hang the bag on the flying dandelion, the little guy sank for a second, and then obediently flew out of the window again, drifting towards the city center.
To be honest, it's okay to hang a small fish like Yu Mian on this white furry star beast, but it would be too heavy to have another bag.
So when Huo Ting came to the study early the next morning, he was shocked to find that the schoolbag was still there. He
opened the note beside him and saw that the other party had left a sentence, "Thank you! But I can't take it this time, after all, I will be back soon in the evening."
Although when he wrote this sentence, Yu Mian felt very strange.
It seemed like when he went out as a child and reported to his parents for access control...
Huo Ting was silent for a moment, and simply tidied up the study with an expressionless face.
Not long after, there was a knock on the study, and after Secretary Hals indicated that the visitor had arrived, a burst of very hearty laughter came first.
"Hasn't the old guy Huo Yuejiang come back yet? With a grandson like you, he is very relaxed after retirement. Now he is running around the stars, right?"
The visitor was obviously an old acquaintance of his grandfather.
"Yes, so if you want to see your grandfather, you will probably have to come in a few months."
Huo Ting gestured to Harris to pour water.
"No problem, no problem, there are two cups here, I can just pour the water myself, no need to be so formal."
Harrison looked at the two cups on the table, and was about to pick up the kettle when Huo Ting stopped him.
"... Both are mine." He
forgot to put the cup away.
Harrison glanced at Huo Ting silently, and then looked at the two cups placed side by side on the table.
"Uh... Not bad, different styles."
Although it always feels a bit strange?
"So what are you doing this time?"
Huo Ting looked at the two cups of tea that Joni handed over and looked at his uncle Harrison.
"Actually, it's like this. The broccoli recipe you sent over last time, the institute found that the taste is indeed perfect after cooking in this way. It was very popular after the initial promotion, so I wanted to ask if these other new ingredients can also..."
"If it is feasible, we can provide a very generous reward to hire the other party to assist in the research, or buy it directly."
Harrison, as a senior in the institute, has been farming and raising livestock all his life.
He can be said to be a rare "farmer" in the interstellar age.
Although Harrison's various attempts are all aimed at developing lower-radiation ingredients and solving the problem of radiation pollution.
Unexpectedly, the biggest difficulty is the taste!
Because many subjects even expressed strongly after the test that they would rather continue to drink nutritional solution than eat broccoli raw! !
This made the old scientist feel very frustrated for a while.
Until the appearance of broccoli in soup.
After listening to Uncle Harrison's request, Huo Ting's expression became subtle.
This question may be asked tonight.
After all, the annual research funding for the research institute where Uncle Harrison is located is quite generous.
If this broccoli recipe can arouse the other party's interest, then as long as there are other recipes, the person in the study will definitely be paid a fair enough reward.
In this way, even if he moves out, he will have a basic source of income?
However, what Huo Ting did not expect was that this visitor in the study was so bold that he did not return home all night.
*
"Wow... It's so beautiful!"
When Yu Mian flew all the way to the starry sky lake view area, his eyes widened.
Because looking down at everything from the air, it is even more gorgeous and dreamy to the extreme.
I didn't expect that there would be such a beautiful place on the Central Star, and it is so close to the old house, but I have been staying in the study and have never been here.
[How is it? Do you feel that the fish tail is ready to move? 】
【The system detects that this is indeed an excellent ecological protection zone for interstellar aquatic life. The rich variety of protected animal and plant resources inside make this starry sky lake a popular waterscape scenic spot on the Central Star...】
The small system reads out a series of introductions retrieved from the backstage, which really makes Yu Mian more and more excited.
In the past, he only stayed in the fish tank in the study and never thought about going out to such a large waterside scenic spot.
Could it be that because he has become a mermaid, he has become less and less resistant to these things?
"That guy Huo Ting is really knowledgeable. How did he find such a good place!"
"Can I really go down and swim for a while?"
【Of course you can. I'll open the bag for you and you can just swim in. 】
"!"
Then the next second, Yu Mian fell into the water with a "plop", and swam freely in the water with her tail happily wagging.
The moment she fell into the water, an instinctive affinity for water gave Yu Mian an indescribable sense of happiness.
With a "bang", Yu Mian turned into a mermaid again, swimming in the water without any instruction.
The light golden fishtail skirt slid through the water like a meteor, creating ripples in the middle of the deserted lake, which was extremely dreamy.
"I feel that swimming here is really much more refreshing than in the fish tank!"
After Yu Mian emerged from the water again, she subconsciously swung her fish tail and floated on the water in a relaxed manner.
Every time she went out before, she was busy with things, and this was the first time she played in the water so easily.
Is this the confidence and happiness of not using up all the manuscripts I just wrote! ?
No need to go home at a fixed time every day to write.
[And you can just swim to the vicinity of that house and take a closer look. I searched and found that the density of private houses in that area is very low. If you buy it, it means that you will directly own a whole private waterscape. ]
[It is indeed a perfect habitat for aquatic life. ]
No matter how the small system evaluates and calculates, it feels that the house recommended by Huo Ting is almost perfectly suitable for its host.
Is this a coincidence?
After all, it was recommended to Yu Mian among a bunch of alternative options.
"Is there such a solution?"
Yu Mian looked in the water not far away. There were indeed some lights there, and it seemed that several private houses were dotted in an orderly manner.
"In fact, I feel that the houses in this place should be very expensive, and even estimated to be out of stock."
Yu Mian chatted with the small system while swimming.
[But we also earned a lot of royalties! ]
The small system is looking forward to its host changing houses, and it feels happy to upgrade the system!
The standard career batch system is correct.
However, just when Yu Mian was swimming quickly and the small system was frantically calculating the royalties to buy a house, a major traffic accident occurred in the water.
"Ah——what is that!?"
"It hurts..."
Yu Mian covered his head and came out of the water, looking at the opposite side in shock.
It turned out to be a very good-looking young man.
Ernis on the opposite side looked at Yu Mian with even more horror.
"Are you a stalker fan——? You can find my home right here!"
"Ah? I'm not..."
Yu Mian felt like his brain crashed when he heard this.
Was I mistaken for a fan? But I am not a fan of stars.
At this time, the other party took a closer look at Yu Mian and was shocked for a moment.
After all, Yu Mian was so beautiful that Ernis felt that he was more like a private fan.
"...Then are you the new neighbor? Also an aquatic race?"
[Host, the reward for your third book may have played an invisible role. ]
Just when Yu Mian found that the other party suddenly became very friendly, the small system quietly reminded him.
?
What reward?
[Friends of the Ocean: 100% favorability of aquatic races (invalid under extremely special circumstances)]
Yu Mian:!
The small system then realized that the place chosen by Huo Ting was indeed too suitable for aquatic races.
In a sense, it makes sense that other successful people from the interstellar aquatic species would spend a lot of money to buy this private house.
Isn't it a large aquatic species dating community?
Change the home-bound nature of the host.
"Ah... this, I guess..."
Yu Mian hesitated for a long time, not knowing how to answer.
Because at the first sight of the Starry Sky Lake, he had actually made up his mind to buy this house.
Although he didn't necessarily have to let Huo Ting help to contact, after all, it was very likely to be exposed.
"So do you want to come to my house and sit for a while, neighbor?"
Ernis just said this, and seeing Yu Mian's subconscious alert and retreating action, he suddenly realized that he seemed to be easily misunderstood like this...
"You don't know me?"
So Ernis planned to swipe his face again to prove that he was not a bad guy.
"...Looks a little familiar?"
Yu Mian was uncertain.
[The other party is a very famous interstellar singer star. Oh, theoretically if you take our superstar route, this guy will be your opponent on the upgrade route. ]
The small system introduced it at the right time.
But now that his own host has gone to write, isn't this completely irrelevant?
Yu Mian's confused face seemed to hit Ernis, who has always been a little narcissistic.
"It seems that I am too proud. Not everyone knows me."
Ernis looked frustrated.
"Sorry, if I didn't hurt you, can I leave first?"
Although Yu Mian didn't show his fish tail, he didn't want to stay close to people in the water for so long, so after saying goodbye to Ernis, he disappeared directly into the water and turned into a small fish to swim faster.
"Eh..."
Ernis didn't react yet, and watched Yu Mian swim away like he was escaping.
For Ernis, this is really an extremely rare situation.
I used to be like this.
I just wanted to tell him that many aquatic species living on the central star often come to my house for gatherings, and there happened to be a party tonight.
Moreover, Ernis, who is obsessed with looks, always thinks that this person will be very popular with everyone!
What aquatic race is this person from?
After all, if he can afford this house, he should be very famous in a certain field, but he has never seen it.
Ernis looked at the direction where Yu Mian disappeared, and always felt a little regretful.
Yu Mian swam out of this area before revealing his fish tail again, lying in the water and breathing a sigh of relief.
Being interrupted like this, it was already night.
I didn't see the house.
However, the stars in the lake were twinkling, and after night fell, the evening breeze blew, rippling countless ripples.
It even reminded Yu Mian of an ancient poem on Earth: After getting drunk, I didn't know that the sky was in the water, and the clear dreams filled the boat and pressed the stars.
"I really want to take a nap here..."
The extreme pleasure and relaxation from the genes made Yu Mian close his eyes involuntarily, and feel the relaxation of this natural waterscape with his whole body and mind.
[Is it actually possible? In this way, we will go back tomorrow morning? Anyway, the saved manuscripts are still updating automatically, and the little dandelion seems to be having a lot of fun and doesn't want to go back. ]
The small system has no objection to this. It glanced at the dandelions playing not far away, who were also having a lot of fun in the evening breeze.
Obviously, they don't want to go back so soon.
The main reason is that the small system can't help but feel happy when seeing its host so happy.
Huo Ting's family really found a very good place.
Although Yi Yi Tong has completely forgotten that Huo Ting is in the old house at this moment.
Huo Ting had been sitting in the living room on the second floor since nightfall, keeping an eye on the movements in the study.
"Aren't you going to bed yet? Is there anything going on today?"
Qiao Ni went upstairs with a fruit plate, and found that Huo Ting was not in the study or in the bedroom, but sitting quietly in the living room with his eyes closed.
He seemed to be waiting for someone.
"...It's okay, just leave it here."
Huo Ting glanced at the pointer that had pointed to 12 o'clock, and was sure that the guest had not returned.
He continued to wait in silence.
