Chapter 44: The micro-novel won an award?
On the way to school, Zhai Da held a metal playing card in his hand, trying to bend it with one hand and flick it away, and then catch it back in his hand by moving forward with his feet.
But I was thinking about yesterday's tutoring class.
It's hard to say what I learned...
I just remember Lu Wei's beautiful hands and her nice smell...
My mind was absent-minded, so naturally I couldn't hit the cards accurately. I had to bend down to pick them up seven or eight times out of ten.
I have memorized the principles in the magic book, but I am still a long way from mastering it.
Even though the special effect "Spotlight" of [Joker Poker] has not been unlocked yet, Zhai Da's behavior can still attract the attention of passers-by. Many people looked over, including some students from the Woolen Textile Middle School.
However, Zhai Da didn't care about it. He just regarded it as a character setting, which would lay the groundwork for the unblocking task in the future.
He has already prepared a few simple poker magic tricks, and once he has practiced them enough, he will try to find someone to perform them.
The system only says that you can perform the close-up magic trick ten times without being exposed. I don’t know if the same person can do it.
Because of the special material of the poker in his hand, it made a slight "buzzing" sound and flew upwards. This time it was very successful. The poker flew back while spinning. Zhai Da caught it and when he looked up, he saw the literary girl waiting for him on the overpass.
Lu Siwen still looked well-behaved, leaning against the railing and looking forward to it. He was a little surprised to see Zhai Dafei's actions.
"Student Zhai! Good morning! What is that?"
Zhai Da briefly waved the Joker Poker in front of Lu Siwen: "Poker, magic poker."
Lu Siwen was surprised and asked, "Student Zhai can also do magic?"
Zhai Da thought for a moment, pulled out a playing card, and waved it in front of Lu Siwen.
Try your hand.
To unlock the special effect "Spotlight" mission, perform ten "Close-up Magic" tricks without being discovered.
"Look, this is the Ace of Spades."
Lu Siwen nodded expectantly.
The right hand shook quickly, so Lu Siwen could only see a shadow, and then it suddenly stopped.
"Now it's an Ace of Spades and an Ace of Hearts. The magic is over."
Lu Siwen's expectant expression froze on his face, but after a moment of hesitation, he clapped his hands in support.
"That's amazing! That's awesome!"
Zhai Da looked at the system interface, which showed no response, and a doubt arose in his heart...
Is Lu Siwen not considered a human being?
Why don’t I consider it a success?
"I have good news to tell Mr. Zhai today."
"Oh? The pen is completely given to me?"
Lu Siwen was embarrassed: "Uh... this really won't work. That pen has a special meaning to me..."
After adjusting his disrupted rhythm, Lu Siwen resumed his speech, "The results of the Micro-Novel Competition are in! Congratulations to Zhai, who, as expected, won first place!"
Zhai Da
Lack of interest: "Oh... this..."
He was not interested at all. It was just something he did to get closer to Lu Siwen. He had a lot on his plate recently. His studies were on track, he got some fun new equipment, and he also got an 18-year-old female roommate. Last night, he even got an 18-year-old female tutor.
Compared to this, things like the micro-novel competition have long been forgotten.
So what if I get first place? Will it give me extra points in the college entrance examination?
With more than ten years of copywriting experience, it is not surprising that he won first place in a wild competition. That micro-novel was a mixture of at least three top copywriters, which is far from comparable to the "micro-novels" of the current era that are mainly written by amateurs.
"Is Mr. Zhai unhappy? This is a Xinglang Blog competition, with thousands of people participating from all over the country!"
Zhai Daxin thought, it turned out to be a blog... the predecessor of Weibo. Although it became completely unpopular in later generations, it was still the main battlefield of the Internet in that era, and many celebrities were using it.
I wondered which newspaper organized it.
He even had Lu Siwen do the submission for him, and he didn't have the habit of browsing blogs on weekdays, so naturally there was no news from beginning to end.
A few thousand people... The Internet age hasn't fully arrived yet, what can such a small number of people do...
"Yeah, it's good. I'm very happy."
Lu Siwen: "The first place winner will get a reward of 30,000 yuan!"
Zhai Da's voice suddenly rose several octaves.
"Hmm? I'm glad! How do I claim it?"
According to Lu Siwen, this competition is being held for the first time, and at this point in time, micro-novels are still relatively new.
Participants can directly participate by posting blogs, which is also relatively simple.
What’s interesting is that for an online activity, the judging is not purely based on the number of likes from netizens. It’s obvious that “Star Wave” traffic has not been fully utilized yet, and people of this era have not fully embraced the Internet.
Even the Internet companies themselves.
They actually found 200 public judges and 30 professional judges...
The public judges are 200 college students, and the professional judges are some Chinese department teachers.
How to say it, every aspect reveals the sloppy feeling of the times, and also represents a temptation to move towards the Internet age.
But this reward is quite interesting!
"Where can I get 30,000 yuan? Do I need a card number? Is tax included?"
Three questions in a row, getting straight to the heart of the matter.
Lu Siwen is a very responsible girl and she was well prepared.
"A Xinglang staff member left me a message. I said I was just submitting the article on their behalf and not the author. However, he explained it in detail."
As he spoke, he took out a small notebook with a lot of things recorded on it.
The first one left Zhai Da speechless...
"First, Zhai has to interact with the official on his blog and post a blog to express his gratitude for the award, and then
I promised to become an active user. I asked what constitutes active, and he said that posting one blog post a week would be enough, no matter how long it is... At least for the first few months, I have to support their work, and after that, I don’t care anymore.”
Zhai Da's originally surprised expression quickly shifted towards the old man on the subway.
"Secondly, they will conduct a phone interview... Mr. Zhai will provide a photo of himself in his daily life, which will be made into a short news item and posted on the website."
It was probably some scrap area somewhere, indicating that the event was a "complete success."
"Once these two are done, the money can be transferred, but he didn't seem to mention the tax issue..."
Zhai Daxin said to the troublemaker, burn some paper for the troublemaker, it’s so troublesome!
But...30,000 yuan...still has to be taken.
Now that my main focus is on studying, I can't miss the opportunity to earn extra money. 30,000 yuan...
Lu Wei's salary would take two and a half years...
Suddenly, without any reason, he remembered Teacher Shen Rui's question...
"Student Zhai? Student Zhai?"
Su Bai waved her small hand in front of Zhai Da, bringing him back to his senses.
"Oh, sorry, I got distracted... If I remember correctly, you need a computer to play the blog, right? There shouldn't be a mobile version."
Lu Siwen nodded.
"That's a bit troublesome. I don't have a computer at home. Can you help me post something? I'll give you some content every week, and you just need to click on it on my computer and post it."
Lu Siwen's bright eyes turned.
She had guessed that Zhai Da didn't have a computer, so she was ready to offer him a laptop...
There are several of them at home anyway.
But according to Zhai Da's statement...wouldn't that give us many opportunities to communicate with classmate Zhai?
So, with a little guilt, I chose a new plan: "Okay, just tell me anytime, it's easy to send things."
As for the telephone interview, Zhai Da accepted it with a pinch of his nose, thinking it was probably just some meaningless repetitive talk.
Lu Siwen just needs to inform him in advance about the appointment time.
On the way, Zhai Da and Lu Siwen explained the content of the "blog".
There is not much to say in this first blog. Thanks to the organizers of the competition, thanks to Xinglang, thanks to the judges, and thanks to Cangjie.
As for the content to be published once a week, he would think about it and send it to Lu Siwen, asking her to publish it on his behalf.
On the third floor of the teaching building, as the two were about to separate, Lu Siwen hesitated to ask, "Student Zhai, how is the long story you mentioned earlier going?"
This girl is anxious to get her public grain.
Zhai Da, who was well prepared, threw out a homework book and walked into Class 8 of Grade 3 in a casual manner.
After Lu Siwen took it, he saw four words written on it: "The Long Lu Road".
"Lü Tu... is that the protagonist's name? Judging from the title, it seems like a travelogue?"
