Chapter 5
Lin Nanzhi has been thinking about how to make money, but no matter how much he thinks about it, it seems unrealistic.
Although Wu Meng is developing now and she could make a lot of money doing anything, she is still young and nothing is suitable for her.
Even if she wanted to buy lottery tickets, she didn't pay attention to them before, and she didn't know the lottery numbers at all. If she knew she would be reborn, she would definitely write down the numbers and buy them. Now she can only buy scratch tickets, and the highest prize is 10,000 yuan. What's more, she doesn't think her luck is that good.
But soon, Lin Nanzhi thought of his side job in his previous life.
In her previous life, she had no education and could only do some ordinary jobs, such as working in a factory. However, she was unwilling to work in a factory because she was easily affected by heat. In winter, she was fine, but in summer, she would easily get heat stroke. So she had been looking for jobs such as cashiering in shopping malls, hotels or supermarkets, where she could enjoy air conditioning and be comfortable.
Except for the first two years when I was away from home, I spent the rest of the time in Umon.
Although Umon City developed later, it will still be a third-tier city in 2023. Her job provides food and accommodation, and the basic salary is 2,600 yuan + 200 yuan for full attendance + commission on alcohol and beverages, which means she can earn about 3,000 yuan.
Obviously, she didn't like dressing up much, but her money was gone without her noticing. Three thousand yuan was not much to save, especially after her parents divorced and she moved out with her mother.
It was fine when her brother was not married, but it was inconvenient to live with him after he got married. Lin's mother always wanted to find another boyfriend, and changing boyfriends was faster. She didn't want to live with her brother, so she planned to save money to buy a house.
But with these three thousand yuan, it would be great if you can save one thousand in a month.
In order to save more money, she started her own side business - online novelist.
However, online literature has developed rapidly, with a variety of topics, and readers may not pay attention to her own books. She has been writing books for several years, but she is still a transparent author. Fortunately, the money she earns from writing books can be used for living expenses, allowing her to save a little more money.
Although it is just a drop in the bucket.
The first online novel was published in 1911 on the website of Zhihuajia. After some development, the novels were still mainly based on the Jianghu style of Grandpa Jin and Grandpa Gu until 1988. In 2002, many original online novels emerged, making online novels popular for a while.
From 2005 to 2013, fantasy and Marie Sue styles were the most popular, which also made online literature extremely popular. Basically, as long as the subject matter was novel, it would be popular, and it would be even more popular if the writing was good.
Unlike later generations, online literature reached its peak and more and more people were engaged in this industry. However, because of this, various online literature apps appeared, allowing people to write articles without any conditions, resulting in many articles being written by novices and being almost unwatchable.
It's incomparable to the past when any book was a masterpiece.
At this moment, still in 2012, she thought her writing skills were okay and she shouldn't be doing too badly.
Moreover, online writers nowadays are not like those in later generations, where better apps require facial recognition. Now they only need an ID card.
Therefore, on Sunday, Lin Nanzhi asked his father for his ID card, took two photos, took the living expenses for this week, and went to Qingya Town early.
The Education Bureau probably wouldn't come down after that day. They were off on Saturdays and Sundays, so they would definitely come this week, so she didn't plan to go to class.
There was an Internet cafe in Qingya Town, and she went straight to it.
Internet cafes have been the hottest in the past two years. They make money from students, so they don't care whether you are an adult or not. As long as you pay, you are allowed in.
The education at Qingya Middle School is rather lax, and the teachers are inactive, so many students have dark tendencies. They skip classes every day to either fight or surf the Internet, and there is no free time in this Internet cafe.
Some people even spend several days in Internet cafes just to play games.
This made her think of ten years later, when this Internet cafe got into trouble due to lax management by the school teachers. After that, the situation became more serious, resulting in the Internet cafe losing its customers and closing down.
I spent five bucks and turned on a computer, which I could use for a few hours.
After sitting down, Lin Nanzhi remembered that she didn't know the URL, so she downloaded a mobile version on her phone, then found the link to the computer client on the homepage, copied the link to QQ, sent it to the secondary account, then logged into the QQ account on the computer, clicked on the link and went in.
After registering an account and logging in, Lin Nanzhi thought about what he should write.
The most popular style now is the Mary Sue style, but she doesn't plan to write it, for fear that if she writes it now, she will regret it ten years later... no, it doesn't take ten years, and she won't be able to delete it even if she wants to.
Fantasy literature is very popular now, but there are already many outstanding ones. She may not be outstanding if she writes it, so it is better to change her genre and stand out from the crowd. Although it is a bit risky, this platform also has a guarantee, so it is okay even if it is not popular.
This is the advantage of writing in the early stages. As long as someone reads it, you’ll make money!
Lin Nanzhi decided to write a time-travel novel, just in time to take advantage of the popularity of the time-travel dramas in the past two years. However, most fantasy novels nowadays are about time-travel, so she planned to do the opposite and write about traveling from ancient times to the present.
After thinking about what she wanted to write, she quickly created the work, wrote an outline, and did not forget to make an exquisite book cover for the work.
She made this cover because she likes photography. She studied in a bridal shop for a year and didn't learn anything about photography, but she knows a lot about computers.
After changing the cover, she started typing.
She typed very quickly, with ideas pouring out of her mind like a spring. She started writing at nine o'clock and continued until noon. She ate her lunch and continued writing again. She did not stop until five o'clock in the afternoon.
I stretched my sore shoulders and fingers, then looked at the results of my day’s work.
She wrote quickly and was prone to typos, so she had to check each chapter twice, and as a result she only wrote 15,000 words in a day.
Each chapter has 3,000 words, and there are five chapters in total.
She submitted two chapters, then shut down her computer and logged off.
I just had a box of instant noodles at noon, and then a bowl of rice noodles and a bowl of potatoes in the evening.
The students had also finished school, and many of them went out to eat. Lin Nanzhi met her roommate, and was dragged back to the dormitory by them. She didn't know what to do.
She wears a mask every day, and asks her roommate to get a taxi for her from the cafeteria for meals. She spends the rest of her time writing novels in Internet cafes. She doesn't go to class, but just reviews. (Friendly reminder from the author: The plot requires it, please do not imitate!)
On Friday, the Education Bureau came and held a student meeting. Even parents and police came.
Lin Nanzhi then realized that the Education Bureau had come before, but they had come secretly. After questioning students of all grades, they found that everyone said the same thing, that some teachers were not taking action.
Therefore, this meeting was specially organized.
Parents from every class came. There were three grades, and six classes in each grade. The parents sat on benches on the lawn, and the students stood at the back.
Naturally, Lin Nanzhi couldn't show up. He stood in the team, looking up, and heard a few "Hello, hello, hello" coming from the loudspeaker.
