Chapter 412 Are You the Second in the World? The Great Purge
Half a step ahead of heaven.
These four words are really impressive. Even for Su Qing, when she first saw Hun Dun playing chess with others, she had some predictions in her mind, but she never thought it would turn out like this.
Fight against heaven and you will win half a step.
How unwilling to admit defeat!
Even in Su Qing's opinion, this is a truly cool article, but she also understands that such a short story is indeed not suitable for online writing. Obviously, it would be a good idea to submit it to their magazine.
“This article is really good.”
Su Qing said to Yu Xiaoshu: "Then I will publish it in the next issue of the magazine."
"Okay, that's fine, but I hope it won't just be published in the next issue of the magazine."
Yu Xiaoshu said with a smile: "I hope to promote this article in a targeted manner. Well, just use my pen name to promote it. Anyway, just promote it in any way you want. I believe in your ability."
"Huh? You have a pen name?"
Obviously, Su Qing really didn't expect this at this time.
For her, she had never thought about what short story Yu Xiaoshu would write.
It was precisely because of this that she found it interesting that Yu Xiaoshu actually had a pen name.
"Haha, of course, how can I not have a pen name, and you know my pen name."
Yu Xiaoshu laughed and said.
"oh??"
Su Qing became interested: "If so, what is the pen name?"
"This pen name is: The Second in the World."
Yu Xiaoshu looked at Su Qing and said, "How is it? Do you feel familiar?"
"Second in the world...???"
Su Qing said in a lost voice: "What did you say??? You are the second best in the world???"
Yu Xiaoshu nodded gently and said, "Yes, I am the second best in the world."
Good job.
At this time, Su Qing called him a good guy.
She really didn't expect that Yu Xiaoshu was actually the second best in the world.
So Su Qing said seriously: "Say it again, you said you are the second best in the world?"
Yu Xiaoshu nodded gently: "Yes, I am the second best in the world."
"Are you talking about the second best writer in the world who wrote 'Holding Grandson'?"
Su Qing asked again.
Yu Xiaoshu continued, "That's right, he is the second best writer in the world who wrote 'Holding Grandson'."
"Xiao Shu, you really are, really are..."
Su Qing didn't know what to say for a moment.
She has been looking for the second best person in the world. After all, to Su Qing and the people in the magazine, the second best person in the world is too important. He has directly increased the sales of the entire Fengyang Magazine with his own efforts.
This was exactly the case. Many people in the industry at that time thought that the second best in the world had changed his identity and might have been poached by someone else.
The result.
After all his calculations, Su Qing never expected that the second best person in the world would be Yu Xiaoshu.
Oh my god.
Yu Xiaoshu is actually the second best in the world.
Yu Xiaoshu is actually the second best in the world.
Yu Xiaoshu is actually the second best in the world.
Important things should be said three times. Yu Xiaoshu is actually the second best in the world. Su Qing stared at Yu Xiaoshu blankly and said, "I really didn't expect it, because I have thought about it and guessed who the second best in the world is, but no matter how much I thought about it, I never thought that the second best in the world would be you."
That's how wonderful it is.
Su Qing once told the editor-in-chief that there were only two reasons why Tianxia Di Er disappeared. One was that he really didn't want to write anymore, and the other was that he might have been poached by another magazine at a high price and had changed his pen name.
kindness.
Both Su Qing and the editor-in-chief thought that the second reason should be quite reasonable.
How could it be possible that he would stop writing this book that he has just started writing? The key point is that the results are so good.
kindness.
Su Qing felt that the second best in the world must have been poached by another magazine.
But no matter how much she planned, she never expected that Yu Xiaoshu would be the second best in the world.
Oh my god.
Is it still possible???
Su Qing never thought that Yu Xiaoshu would hide this from her.
Can we still play together???
"I actually wanted to tell you before, but then I had a lot of things to do, plus I needed to write several scripts at the same time, so I didn't tell you."
Yu Xiaoshu said with a smile: "Originally, I didn't plan to write again, but this time is special."
"Oh? How do you mean?"
Su Qing asked with some surprise.
"You know about In the Name of People. The TV series is being filmed. At the same time, this book Tian Ju needs to have some key elements in In the Name of People."
Yu Xiaoshu explained.
Think about it, in the original time and space, how many people knew "In the Name of People" first, and then discovered the book "Tian Ju" through "In the Name of People".
To be precise, in the book "The Heavenly Game", "The Heavenly Game" is actually just a short story, because in addition to "The Heavenly Game", there are five other short stories, namely "Fast Horse", "Expert", "Fate's Joke", "Precious Stamps" and "Saint".
But the remaining five are not important to Yu Xiaoshu.
All he needs now is to publish the short story "The Heavenly Game".
Of course Su Qing had no objection.
She thinks this short story is quite good, and now she wants Yu Xiaoshu to write a few more short stories.
"I'm afraid I don't have time to write more."
Yu Xiaoshu shook his head slightly and said, "You know I've been a bit busy lately. Both Lost in Thailand and In the Name of People are being filmed very closely. I need to keep an eye on both crews. More importantly, in addition to these two works, I have other things to do, so I don't have time to write."
"So you want to write, but you just don't have the time?"
At this moment, Su Qing grasped the key point in just a moment.
Yu Xiaoshu was a little amused: "Yes, you are right. I do want to write, but I don't have the time."
"Okay, I understand. Let's do this for now. I have to go back and send out your manuscript first. As for the royalties..."
Su Qing hadn't finished speaking when Yu Xiaoshu interrupted her and said, "Don't worry, no royalties, because this time it won't be exclusive."
"What do you mean by not exclusive??"
Su Qing's face changed: "Xiao Shu, are you going to send this short story to other magazines? If you send it to other magazines, then I'm afraid we really won't be able to promote it, and..."
"It's not other magazines. Don't worry about that. Your magazine is the only one."
Yu Xiaoshu nodded gently and said, "It's just that I need to post it on the Internet and some other platforms. But don't worry, I will do it after your magazine publishes it. I don't care about money, I just need to maximize the publicity..."
Yu Xiaoshu believed that Su Qing understood this principle.
Su Qing nodded gently: "Okay, I know what to do."
Just like that, Su Qing really knew what to do.
She returned to the magazine office and said to everyone, "I have good news for you all. The second best in the world is back."
"What? Is this true? You contacted the second best in the world?"
"How is this possible? The second best in the world has disappeared for so long, and he's actually back again??"
"Oh my god, what's going on?"
…
The entire magazine was in an uproar at this time.
Everyone was a little bit unbelievable.
Because the second best in the world has disappeared for a long, long time.
How could this amazing person who disappeared for such a long time come back? ? ?
Not only that, Su Qing also showed the article "Tian Ju" to other people.
"Fuck, half a step ahead of heaven?? This is so well written."
"Oh my god, I thought this was a fairy tale at first."
"I won't say anything else. I just want to say one thing now, which is that this article is really amazing. It's worthy of being written by the second best writer in the world."
"Hurry up, we must print more copies, and then the next issue of the magazine must have a banner saying that the second best in the world is back."
"Yes, yes, that's it, hurry up."
…
There is no dispute.
Everyone agreed that this article was well written and should appear in the next issue.
kindness.
Nothing wrong.
In this way, Feng Yang magazine began to promote again.
"Damn it! I thought the second best in the world would never appear again, but I didn't expect him to appear again."
"Yeah, didn't someone say before that Feng Yang Magazine and No.2 Under Heaven had a falling out?"
"Stop it, that must be the so-called rumor. If it really went viral, would it be like this?"
…
Some people who were watching the fun also jumped out at this time.
Of course, the happiest people are those who like the works of The Second Best in the World.
After all, everyone thinks that if someone can write a short story as humorous and satirical as "Holding Grandson", then there is no doubt about his strength.
If I really stop writing, that would be a real misfortune for the readers.
Among them, Du Rong, who likes "Holding Grandson" very much, thinks so.
She likes to watch "All Is Well". At the same time, she also knows that "All Is Well" is very good. The preference for boys over girls in the series also makes her feel deeply. After all, she was also born in a family that favors boys over girls.
When watching "Holding Grandson", Du Rong felt it was really quite ironic.
What is the most important thing?
Even in this day and age, situations like the one in "Holding Grandson" are not uncommon.
For example, some people say that you can’t use air conditioning after giving birth, and some say that you must cover yourself up after giving birth. Some of them were suffocated to death.
kindness.
He was really suffocated to death.
That’s right, in the 21st century, there are still some pregnant women who are suffocated to death due to confinement.
Tell me yourself, isn't this ironic?
So, Du Rong sincerely thinks that "Holding Grandson" written by Tianxia Di Er is very good, and she even hopes that Tianxia Di Er will write more.
As a result, this second best in the world did write some short stories later, and then nothing happened.
kindness.
Disappeared.
Now, the second best in the world is finally back.
Tell me, how could Du Rong not be excited?
The most important thing is that 'Feng Yang Magazine' has already started promoting, and the next issue of the magazine will publish the second best short story in the world.
The name is "Tian Ju".
Upon hearing the name, Du Rong was a little confused.
What does it mean? ?
What is “Tian Ju”?
Although he didn't understand, Du Rong still decided to take a look.
A week later, when the latest issue of Feng Yang magazine came out, Du Rong bought it on time.
Then I started watching.
Huh?
It's actually about Go? ?
As a Go novice, Du Rong really couldn't understand it.
What is this?
…
Sixteen moves later, the fight began. The white piece flew to the lower right corner of the black piece, but Hun Dun resolutely broke through. He was confident of his strong chess skills and never gave up when there was a fight to be had. The white and black pieces were each cut in half, and four dragons coiled and tumbled along the edge and rushed to the left.
Hun Dun was known for his fast chess moves, and his opponent was even faster. Guanzhuang teachers often said that Hun Dun's chess moves were rough, but the man in the mosquito net was fast and meticulous. Hun Dun was more and more shocked, and he used all his brute force. The white chess cleverly forced him to make a move, but he cut off a white dragon. Now no one had a way out, and if he didn't eat the opponent's big dragon, he would die.
…
Go, with only two black and white pieces, best reflects the essence of survival competition. It is not like chess, which has no distinction between generals and pawns. It seems to represent the yin and yang of heaven and earth, and is nakedly contradictory. Once one's survival is threatened, who would not risk his life to fight back?
At this moment, the flames of war in the lower right corner were getting more and more intense, and the fighting was extremely brutal. Hun Dun desperately grabbed a white chess piece, suppressed it, and pursued it relentlessly. However, the white chess piece turned into a trickle, quietly flowing through the black cracks and infiltrating into the upper left corner of the black chess piece. If the black chess piece was not caught, the entire black chess piece would be annihilated.
A layer of sweat broke out on Hun Dun’s forehead, and he shouted in his heart: "Come on! Let’s fight!" He ran towards the decisive battlefield of fate - the upper left corner - without hesitation.
In the 98th move, the white chess piece made a brilliant move! The man in the mosquito net used the corner to make a capture. Even if Hun Dun won the capture, he would have to make three consecutive moves to capture all the white chess pieces. Hun Dun was dumbfounded. This was more than a brilliant move. It was simply a devil's move! However, Hun Dun had no room for maneuver and could only take all the white chess pieces one by one. The man in the mosquito net used this capture to capture the lower right corner of the black chess piece and seal off a black dragon.
…
I have to say, Du Rong really doesn’t like this kind of chess scene.
What does she think this is? ? ?
The one who is so impressive is Du Rong.
But how to say it?
After seeing Hun Dun die and the teacher saying "half a step ahead of heaven", Du Rong suddenly felt even more impressed.
She thought about it.
Then he wrote in his circle of friends: "If you like Go, or if you are interested in Go, you can read "The Game of Heaven". Maybe you will get some unexpected insights. I can't get any.
How to say it? ?
Everyone has their own favorite style. Obviously, Du Rong doesn't like this style.
But how to say it? ?
At this time, the discussion about "Tian Ju" on the Internet has become quite heated.
"Fuck, even though I don't understand Go, this short story is really well written. The last half move of Shengtian is so fucking amazing."
"That's right, I like the real fight against the heavens."
…
While the outside world was discussing "The Game of Heaven", no one could have imagined that TV dramas and online dramas in the entertainment industry would usher in a major purge.
