I really don't want to be a novelist

Chapter 29 The Nagging Shoes

"Interesting..."

"I feel that the more the dog author writes, the more interesting he is."

Touching the phone, Ye Linhan looked at the update of today's dog author, thought silently,

The fingers then swiped down.

As the story unfolds,

This chaotic, crazy and absurd Cthulhu world is also gradually revealed in front of the protagonist Howard and readers.

After Howard obtained the 'gagging shoes' from Tungsten's caretaker,
He went home again, and prepared to familiarize himself with the nagging and ridicule of the shoes, as suggested by Umpton.

"Howard put on what looked like leather shoes,
After wearing it on the feet, it is not as bulky as it looks, but has a light feeling. The whole body seems to be much lighter from the feet to the whole body.

Howard tried to move, his body became much more agile, and his speed was greatly improved, and he seemed to save a lot of energy when he moved.

But why didn't you hear the 'shoe chatter'?
Howard was a little puzzled.

And this time,
That 'nagging' was long overdue.

"...Oh, put on me, are you planning to run away again?

Oh, it seems that there are no enemies, so don't you run faster, get used to the speed I bring to you... maybe it will make you run faster when fighting. "

It was a bit of a cheap voice, and it seemed to be mocking with a mocking smile.

"...Look, these clumsy legs and feet may be your honor to be able to wear me, but unfortunately you don't seem to have the courage to wear me to fight, you seem to be training to escape..."

This voice rang in Howard's ear and mind,
Immediately afterwards, it seemed that this extraordinary item also slightly touched the ravings that did not know where in Howard's mind.

When the whisper of 'Azathoth' sounded vaguely in Howard's mind.

The voice of the pair of shoes seemed to be stuck suddenly, and there was no sound for a long time.

Is 'Fox Fake Tiger' at work again?
At this moment, the raving of 'Azathoth' faded away again,
The original 'nagging shoes' sound rang in Howard's ear again, but the sarcasm was gone,

Instead, become devout and fanatical.

"...a great, indescribable existence, I am your most loyal servant, and I am willing to listen to your oracle at any time..."

The frenzied voice heard Howard's pause,
"No longer dislike my clumsy hands and feet?"

"Being able to be driven by a great and indescribable existence is the meaning of my existence and the mission of my birth... I am willing to crawl at the feet of a great existence forever..."

It seems that the nature of the nagging has not changed, but the sarcasm has turned into infinite fanaticism and obedience..."

Walking along the sidewalk,

From time to time, Ye Linghan glanced at the latest chapter of "Resuscitating Cthulhu",
Seeing the back and forth communication between the pair of 'nagging shoes' and the protagonist Howard, I couldn't help but smile knowingly.

Went to the noodle restaurant where we had dinner on weekdays.

Ye Linhan found an empty seat and sat down.

While waiting for the surface to come up, he continued to look down seriously.

The next plot,

It is the protagonist Howard who tried to increase the speed of the nagging shoes again,

Take the majesty of the Great Being, and let his faithful servant, the chattering shoes, speak less,

Wearing these nagging shoes for a long time,

"It's just that the shoe's nagging seems to be its nature. After a while, Howard didn't talk to it, but it still couldn't help talking.

"Great, an existence beyond this world, if you dislike the vulgar appearance of your most loyal servant, you can transform it into any shoe, leather shoes, long-tube shoes, cloth shoes...'"

After that,
It is half a chapter similar to the excessive plot,
When the protagonist Howard was going out, he met Mrs. Dillis from the neighbor’s house.

There was a brief exchange.

Then, went to the Society of Archaeologists.

Had a few exchanges with several professors who are also members of the Association of Archaeologists.

"...I heard that there are newly discovered relics about the last century in Sapa City."

"What is it about, is there text?"

"It's not very clear. It is said that people from the church prevented archaeologists from continuing to excavate and study... Hey, we all know very little about the last century."

"Howard, you're here..."

"...Well, Professor Rupert...Professor, what do you know about this pattern?"

"... Let me see, it seems familiar. Something from the last century? Maybe I have seen it in some classics. Why, Howard, are you doing research on this?"

"Yes, Professor Rupert, have you seen Professor Rupert? Can you still remember what book it is?"

"I can't remember clearly, Howard. You know, as people get older, their memory will continue to weaken. If you need it, I can help you find it."

"Thank you, Professor Rupert, if you have any results, please let me know, this is very important for my research."

Howard asked about some of the patterns on the special badge at the Archaeologists Association,
By chance, I got some answers from a professor named Rupert.

Ye Linghan sat in the restaurant, carefully watching this part,
Judging from his years of reading experience, he can naturally see that this is the foreshadowing of the following plot.

"...The ruins of the previous era in Sapa City? The church stopped it, and it has something to do with extraordinary power?"

The more you know, the easier it is to go crazy,

This is the style of the Cthulhu world,

Looking at these contents, Ye Linhan became a little interested, and couldn't help thinking,

"What is the badge for?"

Ye Linghan continued to scroll down,

then……

This is the last chapter updated today.

Broken chapter dog!
Looking at the screen that has jumped to the comment area on the phone screen.

Ye Linghan couldn't help complaining,

Immediately afterwards, he fell into deep thought again.

The author of this dog is getting better and better as he writes this novel,
It's a pity that there still don't seem to be many readers.
Do you want to find a way to help promote the dog author?

My pensive colleague, Ye Linhan, also voted for this dog author.

……

"...Gan!"

After finishing the coding work today,

Ji Zhuo stayed in the backstage of the writer and refreshed every few moments.
From time to time, it seems like chanting a spell in the mouth,
"Pounce! Pounce on me!"

However, although the increase speed is not fast, every time you refresh, you can always add a few collections.

Seeing Ji Zhuo felt uncomfortable.

Every new collection now feels like a knife on his chest,

He was really afraid that just like in his nightmare, the subscription of his book would be over [-] in the end.

It is estimated that he can vomit blood.

As soon as I refreshed, I saw that a monthly ticket was added in the background,
Ji Zhuo couldn't help but say something,

Then the whole person spread out on the back of the seat, picked up the teacup from the side and took a sip of water,
At the same time expressionless.

I don't believe it anymore, this kind of niche novel can still explode?

Judging by the increase in collection today, it is not stable yet.

You people still want to harm me... Heh!

"Boom!"

After drooling, Ji Zhuo slapped the water glass, thinking to himself.

Then...the water splashed out, and Ji Zhuo hurriedly pulled the paper to wipe it again.

……

"Dog author!"

The speed of 30 seconds per second, sister Yun Qingmu,

She was still wrapped in the quilt, her head was buried in the quilt, but her feet protruded from the quilt, dangling on the bed,

The lit screen in the quilt is showing the last page of "Resuscitating Cthulhu" currently updated,
Yun Qingmu had just finished reading, now she clenched her teeth and said viciously,
The dog author even learned how to break updates!
Don't you know that malicious breaks will affect readers' active reading?

It's definitely not me, Yun Qingmu, who wants to read the next chapters,
But for the author's consideration!

Hey, I care more about his book than the author himself.

Sighed,

Yun Qingmu silently went to the comment section first and then typed in today's card, and at the same time voted for this book with all the recommendations and monthly tickets in the account.

……

The magic city is very prosperous.

When the neon lights and thousands of lights are on, the streets are full of streams,

Or in a car on the street, or in a shop by the street, or in a brightly lit room,
Different stories are being staged, embellishing the prosperity of the city.

And the editorial office of Shiyue.com, where Bimo is at the moment, is also one of the lit lights.

Under the lights, some of the editors were still working overtime, and Ji Zhuo's writing was still there.

Nowadays,

It was the day when he tested the waters on a batch of new books,

It’s already past eight or nine in the evening, past the peak period for readers to find books,
For each recommended position, the data increase of each novel today has basically come out.

Pen and ink is flipping through the background of his editing, the data of each book under his hand,
After reading most of the books and having a bottom of mind,
Pen and ink then focused on the new book "Resuscitating Cthulhu" that is more concerned,
After reading the updated chapters of this book today,

Pen and ink pondering the data increase of this book today,

"Favorites have increased by 185, probably in the third place in the recommended position."

The fantasy category of Shiyue.com has less traffic than other popular categories, whether it is on the webpage or on the app.
Although the recommendation position of classified new books is not bad, the increase in the novels in this recommendation position is not very high.

"The ratio of recommendation and investment is relatively high, and the follow-up rate is not bad."

After listening to the words of the previous editor-in-chief, I still look forward to the explosion of "Resuscitating Cthulhu" by the author of "Era Coincidence".

This author has basically been submitting manuscripts under him all the time. If this author becomes popular, he will naturally benefit.
At least one credit for discovering a good author is indispensable.

But the whole day has come down, plus the peak period from evening to evening,

The collection data for this book shows no signs of skyrocketing.

Thinking about what the editor-in-chief said before, Bimo shook his head.

Don't worry about it anymore.

Just wait and see if there is a breakthrough later in the week.

Just based on the current results, this book will not be continuously recommended next week, but there will be no better recommendations.

……

"...Gan!"

Ji Zhuo wiped off the tea spilled on the desk,
Going back and refreshing the novel again, I found that the collection has increased again.

The expressionless face on his face couldn't hold back anymore, it was a little distorted.

"...it's okay, it's okay...the recommendation on the first day must have increased the most, and there must be less after that."

"Maybe after a week, the collection will not reach a thousand, it's stable, it's stable..."

After chanting a few more sentences like chanting, Ji Zhuo comforted himself for a while.

Lie back again and snap the laptop.

I don't want to see it,

Out of sight out of mind.

……

"Growing grass in the canyon: I suddenly found that the author of the dog is recommending today's book. Is there anyone who hasn't voted yet? Vote!

30 per second: When it comes to recommending books, data is very important... With the current data, I am afraid that the author will become a eunuch again.Is there any book discussion area that can advertise?

Take off Wuhu: I have posted a post on the editor, come and like it!

I'm just a trumpet: I mean, I mean, what if, maybe the author doesn't want you to attract readers for him like this?

The Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea:? ? ?
The Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea: Dude, are you kidding, is there any author who doesn't like votes?Is there any author who doesn't like his works and has many readers? "

Ji Zhuo, the dog author who picked up the phone, watched his alias in his book friend group being bullied by his book friends, with a blank expression on his face.

Like me, I like more money.

Then there was another burst of discomfort.

"Grass in the canyon: Hey, why does this name look familiar.

Grass in the canyon: Isn’t this the person who said earlier that we made it look like a fan circle? Why haven’t you left the group yet? Do you think there is something wrong with you? You don’t like this author’s novels. What are you doing in the group? "

The news in the group is still going on,
Obviously someone recognized his number.

Ji Zhuo stopped sending messages.
It just feels worse.

nothing
just uncomfortable...

……

"Crackling..."

Time passed quickly with the crackling of the mechanical keyboard,
Ji Zhuo didn't do anything else these days,
Every day is to follow the previous ideas, continue to code words, and continue to advance the plot of the novel,
I am determined to write Ampton to death in the recommendation.

Then it is to refresh the data in the background every day to watch.

first day,
Favorites rose by 190 to 402.

It's okay, it was recommended on the first day, and this is the one that rose the most.

It will definitely fall back gradually, and maybe the last day's increase in collections will not be more than a hundred.

For this data, Ji Zhuo can still accept it.

the next day,
The collection has increased by more than 200.to 623,

Looking at the active readers in the book club, Ji Zhu gritted his teeth,

The improvement of data is inseparable from these people!

Both are to blame.

But I was already mentally prepared for this kind of thing.
It's okay, the advertisement is only temporary, I don't believe that they advertise every day, and people come in every day.

As for the subject matter, as for the classification, as for the background, as for the various attributes of myself,
Ji Zhuo felt that he should be a little more confident.

nothing
It will definitely be lower in the back.

then,

On the third day,
The collection has increased by more than 300, close to [-], and the total collection has reached [-].

Almost broke Ji Zhuo's defense directly.

Increased so much, not because of others,

Or because of the most loyal reader, who had a grievance with Ji Zhuo in his previous life,
Let Ji Zhuo call out those who committed crimes...Yun Qingmu,

Yun Qingmu rewarded Ji Zhuo with another alliance leader, which increased a little traffic on the bestseller list.

Fortunately, Shiyue.com has a lot of bosses, otherwise his mentality would explode if he rushed to the top of the best-selling list.

Yun Qingmu, sister Yun!Miss Mu,
If you are so rich, you might as well use it to keep me, and give this 'dog author' a reward!

——Although the author of this dog is also him.

But it's okay,
Ji Zhuo felt uncomfortable for a while, feeling that he could still bear it,
The editor must have sharp eyes, and will not look at my book differently because of the data increase brought about by this accidental reward.

It's okay, it's just a coincidence.

I still don't believe that Yun Qingmu can still give rewards every day?

Then came the fourth day of this week's recommendation,

Ji Zhuo finally breathed a sigh of relief,

The increase in collection data has finally started to fall,

I only increased my collection by just two hundred in a whole day.

At noon on the fifth day, Ji Zhuo got up, sat in front of the computer and was about to start coding, glanced at the collection data of the day before him,

A smile finally appeared on his face,

"Everything is as expected, let me tell you, as long as there are no accidents, the data in this book is unlikely to become popular."

"It's still easy to jump lower than the system requirements."

The corners of Ji Zhuo's mouth rose wildly,

"Steady, steady!"

flattered,

Ji Zhuo pressed his hand on the keyboard,

Start writing today's update chapter,
Today, I will start writing the plot of Ampton's death,

After this wave of plot, don't readers still scold me?Then the increase in collections continued to plummet?

grinning,
I don't know if I'm in a good mood, or if I'm excited about the next important supporting role.

Ji Zhuo felt that he wrote very smoothly today,

Should be able to write Umpton to death today!

"Crackling..."

In Ji Zhuo's study,
The mechanical keyboard crackled and crackled.

Meanwhile, in another place, in another study,

There was also the sound of crackling keyboard tapping.

　Ask for favorites, recommended tickets, monthly tickets
