Chapter 49: Shelf Thoughts
According to reliable sources, the sales of Bao Weekly may have broken 400,000 in just one day. Whether or not this news is true, it's enough to prove its popularity.
Actually, the other nineteen authors are also quite tragic. They are completely overshadowed by Su Ruo Chen's popularity. Although there were originally twenty chapters in Bao Zhou Weekly, now it seems like only "The Heartbroken One" is left. All the comments and reports are almost all about "The Heartbroken One", which is really sad.
Of course, it also has its benefits, as the names of these nineteen authors have successfully made more people aware of them.
The wave of sadness had been going on for a long time, and just when it was about to subside, an extremely unexpected person suddenly stood up and commented on this chapter.
This is Nalan Xifeng, a name with a poetic flair, but he's not a poet. Nalan Xifeng is an expert in bioelectronics at Huaxia University and has a great reputation both domestically and internationally. Such a heavyweight figure actually publicly expressed his admiration for "The Heartbroken" in a magazine article.
"I like reading science fiction, but I've never had a good impression of it. For ordinary readers, the author's imaginative and fanciful ideas about the future are very impressive, but for me, every time I read it, I can't help but pick out the mistakes, which makes it impossible for me to calm down."
Recently, two assistants in my lab have been discussing the same book - "The Wounded", which made me very interested. I read it too and was attracted by the protagonist He Xi's diligent spirit, or more accurately, moved!
Apart from his mother, no one else understood him, but He Xi did not give up and persisted. This reminds me of our group of people, in the minds of ordinary people, as soon as they mention researchers, the image that comes to mind is someone wearing a white coat holding tools dissecting small white mice, this image has become our fixed stereotype.
Some researchers study things that are of no use in this era, and at this time they have to face the fact that everyone does not understand, just like He Xiangzhu. At that time, his book "Micro-continuity Original" can be said to be of little use, but 150 years later it became the basis for unifying the macrocosm, this is the surname of the times, researchers are not all science monsters, maybe we and He Xiangzhu are a group of sad people, sad people on the road of science.
This is the first time I've forgotten to look for mistakes and calmly read a science fiction novel from start to finish.
Of course, there is one more thing I want to add, micro-continuity is the foundation of time dimension tracing technology, and...
Behind this is a large pile of popular science knowledge. I estimate that among the hundred people who buy this newspaper, no more than five can understand it.
Although Nalan Xuefeng made corrections to the overall theory at the end of the comment, the whole speech is a praise for the short story "The Heartbroken".
This is amazing!
It's rare to know that Nalan Xifeng used to pick on various flaws in science fiction and was always critical, when did she ever praise something? This is absolutely a big girl getting married for the first time!
Even the Galaxy Awards of China have revealed that this time's Best Short Story and Best Long Story may both be taken by one person, and who that person is doesn't even need to be thought about.
It was because of Nalan Xingde's comment that the sales of Bao Zhoukan became even more crazy, with an additional print run of 50,000 copies. Was that enough? No way! Add another 50,000 copies!
Let "The Heartbroken" be popular for a while longer, let the trend be more intense!
Science fiction fans all want to take a look, even readers who are not interested in science fiction also want to see what kind of chapter can live up to the praise of Nalan Xue.
After watching it, I was moved by the ordinary yet great maternal love in "The Wounded" and inspired by He Xi's diligent spirit.
"Mom..." "....Mom" The cries of reunion after twenty years apart are so touching, so heart-wrenching!
Innumerable readers have called for Su Renshan to return to science fiction, of course this is mainly due to the Black Mysterious series. Unfortunately, after finishing "Black Hacking Empire: Hacker's Mission", Su Renshan stopped writing and didn't produce a second installment, leaving many fans anxious and earning him once again the title of "King of Pit-digging".
"Shu Chen, 'The Heartbroken' is well-written, it's the only work that can be praised by Nalan!" Chu Xing said over the phone. Science fiction is also one of Chu Xing's strong points, but his works have been criticized by Nalan Xi Feng, just like his recent work "Future Technology", which was harshly criticized by Nalan Xi Feng, who even declared that future technology would never reach such a level. So in this aspect, Shu Chen can be said to have surpassed Chu Xing a little bit.
"The Matrix series, 'Feed' and this one 'The Heartbroken'. Xi Chen, your science fiction writing is extremely good, unfortunately I've already decided to make this fantasy novel my last work, otherwise I really hope to have another science fiction showdown with you." Chu Xing's tone revealed a deep sense of regret.
Su Shichen and Chu Xing had a chat on the phone, and Chu Xing's main purpose of calling Su Shichen was to remind him to write fantasy novels with all his might.
It's probably also because of "The Heartbroken" that Chu Xing is worried that Su Shicun will be distracted and won't be able to play at his best, but if Chu Xing knew that Su Shicun had serialized two more works on the web, I wonder what expression he would have.
《Heartbroken》 is a storm in the real world, while 《Infinite Horror》 is not inferior at all. On the first day, 13 chapters were updated, and Infinite Horror was already popular throughout the circle. The second day's 25 chapters were like a heavy bomb, directly blowing up a huge pit in the circle, especially with the style of Chu Da Xue!
……
"With my IQ of 220, if I couldn't infer these questions, then I would have truly lived in vain. Let me introduce myself again, Chu Xuan... Major General. Before coming here, I should have been at the Yanjing Longyin Military Base, as the country's second-largest confidential military base, next only to the Longxing Military Base..."
"An IQ of 220?" As a seasoned reader, Shen Rong himself disliked the kind of high-IQ character that many authors wrote about. They would often make the supporting characters' IQs negative just to make the main character stand out, and this so-called "high IQ" was nothing more than a facade. This kind of portrayal was extremely distasteful. So when Chu Xuan introduced himself, Shen Rong furrowed his brow and said, "Tian En's writing is a bit over-the-top."
Shen Rong's idea is nothing out of the ordinary, but if you read it carefully, you will find that Chu Da Xue's IQ cannot be measured by 220. As the plot progresses, Chu Xuan slowly reveals his intelligence.
"Human genes, from the most ancient single-celled organism genes to multicellular organisms, fish, amphibians, and slowly evolving into human genes. In fact, everything is displayed on the genetic code. Do you know what appeared on the human genetic code over the past 120 years? I'll tell you, a lock appeared."
It's coming, the infinite horror setting of power, which is the gene lock setting!
"Gene lock? Muddy coal, indeed something new!" This was Shen Rong's feeling as an old bookworm, a very direct feeling, the next thing would be very subversive, he leaned forward and devoted himself wholeheartedly, following Chu Xuan's words, the gene lock was slowly explained clearly, a brand new concept appeared in front of everyone.
"Dividing power with gene locks, this level of division is really... really..." Shen Rong couldn't find the words to describe it, "It's too novel, compared to those few levels or Sword Saint and so on, that pale, just a renamed, mold-printed level division, it's too fresh, too interesting, too much!"
Shen Rong as an old bird has also seen a lot, most of the divisions of strength are roughly the same, either the division from one to nine or that kind of division with no real change.
The hierarchy of the gene lock, stunned by this forceful hierarchy, is not just Shen Rong alone, many readers can't help but feel a thrill when they see this, a very strange feeling, okay, somewhat similar to being exploded, but also enough to prove the brilliance of the gene lock's creativity!
Shen Rong couldn't wait to continue reading, the next chapter... [...... Chu Xuan waved his hand and said: "It requires a substance similar to adrenaline, which can only be generated by the body itself. The most crucial point is that it is highly toxic. I think you should have heard of the story about an old lady who single-handedly lifted a car and saved her grandson who was under the wheel? This is a true fact, but soon after, this old lady died. Scientists found an extremely small amount of this substance in her blood."...]
As Chu Xuan's step-by-step exposure, Shen Rong had a scalp-numbing feeling. According to the book's exposure, the main god space's function might actually be used as a tool for human evolution, which was indeed one ring after another.
The setup of the gene lock has been thrown out, and the truly wonderful content is just beginning. As the plot unfolds step by step, Chu Xuan's IQ is fully revealed, with that kind of layout ability and calm attitude, Shen Rong now starts to believe a little, this book's Chu Xuan, his IQ really has 220.
"What a pity, I said before that I will only abandon those who are useless to this team, just like a probability problem, he is an individual with too low a probability, and the test given to him was not passed. For Li Shuai Xi, I have already been very kind..."
……
"Depending on the situation, if your life is crucial to the mission, then any cost will be paid to save you. If saving you would put the entire team in danger, then you will be abandoned outright."
These two dialogues can completely reveal Chu Xuan's psychology. He thinks about everything in a comprehensive way, and for his approach of sacrificing his companions without hesitation for the greater good, it is really...
"He's so handsome!" Yes, no mistake, for Shen Rong, he not only won't feel annoyed by this behavior, but instead is very fond of it. Okay, Chu Xuan's charm is limitless, and another fan has been conquered.
"This Chu Xuan is really amazing, he actually managed to design a death trap for Li Shuai Xi, this kind of insight into human nature is truly terrifying!"
Is that all there is to Chu Da Xue's performance and the infinitely terrifying setting?
No, no, this is just the beginning!
