I really don't want to be a novelist

Chapter 37
"They are from the nearby orphanage."

"In the orphanage, those who can be adopted have been adopted long ago, and the rest are blind, dumb, deaf, disabled, and congenital diseases."

Ji Zhuo went into a restaurant by the side of the road, found a table in the back and sat down,
He also turned his gaze a little bit, looking at the row of children on the arms and shoulders of the person in front of each other, and the middle-aged woman who was looking after each other,
The slightly older child walking in front, using a blind cane, carefully explored the way into the restaurant repeatedly,
People who use this time to enter and leave the restaurant also carefully avoid it.

Although the middle-aged woman next to her told a few children to go to the restaurant by themselves, she still stared closely at the side with her hands open to protect her, fearing that any of the children would accidentally fall.

It took more time than normal people for the row of visually impaired children to carefully walk up the slope in front of the restaurant.

Walking to the restaurant door, the leading child used a blind stick to push open the plastic curtain on the restaurant door,

The curtain was pushed aside, and then fell down as the child retracted the blind stick, hitting the boy who led the way,
The boy was so frightened that he trembled all over,
He couldn't help turning around, raising his head, with pleading and a little fear on his face.

The middle-aged woman was on the side, but she didn't speak, she just looked at the boy who led the way.

Narrator: The owner of the restaurant seemed to want to come up to help, but the middle-aged woman shook her head at the owner.

The boy didn't hear the middle-aged woman's voice, so he could only probe repeatedly with his blind stick.

He stretched out his hand and touched it repeatedly, as if he finally knew what was blocking him.
The face became relaxed again.

"...Everyone be careful, there is a door curtain ahead."

The boy spoke bluntly,

Holding the blind stick, leading the way, he continued into the restaurant.

The middle-aged woman watching this scene was relieved and followed into the restaurant.

……

It seemed that Ji Zhuo was looking at the blind children and the middle-aged woman who followed him,
The restaurant owner who came up to greet the guests explained to Ji Zhuo,
Ji Zhuo glanced at the logo "Guangming Welfare Institute" on the woman's clothes, and nodded,

He didn't say anything more and turned his head back.

"Young man, what would you like to eat today?"

"Twice-cooked pork, hot and sour potato shreds, and rice."

"Okay, would you like something to drink?"

"no need."

The restaurant owner nodded in response.
I walked away again, and passed by the table next to the orphanage children.

Those children and middle-aged women found a table by the window,

Several children were compactly sitting at a dining table,

Somewhat curious, he reached out and groped for a small area in front of him,

But he didn't speak any more, but seemed a little cautious.

"...Sister Ai, what do you want to eat with the children today?"

"Give each of them a bowl of beef noodles."

The middle-aged woman flipped through the money in her pocket and said aloud.

The children next to me listened and swallowed.

"Okay, I'll cook right away, and I'll serve it right away."

The owner of the restaurant didn't ask any more questions, and responded with a smile, before entering the house again.

"...Do you know which table we are sitting at now?"

"...a table by the window..."

Ji Zhuo turned his back to the dining table,

Can hear the voices of adults and children at that table,
It's just that after entering the restaurant, the voices of the middle-aged woman and the children became much quieter.

"...Young man, your dishes are all ready, and the rice will be served to you right away."

Sitting at the dining table,
While continuing to search for novels on the novel website,
Ji Zhuo was eating.

Just finished reading a cool article,
The comment section recommending his novel gave him a block in his heart, and he almost had a myocardial infarction.

I still feel uncomfortable at the moment.

After finishing the meal, Ji Zhuo left the restaurant.

in the restaurant,
The children in the orphanage were still holding bowls and eating noodles.

Not long after, the restaurant owner came out with two more dishes,
Put it on the dining table where several children sat around,

"...Boss, I don't seem to have ordered these dishes?"

"...It was ordered by the young man who entered the restaurant one step ahead of you just now, and the money has already been paid."

"There are three more dishes, Sister Ai, you can eat some too, and they will be served right away."

Listening to the restaurant owner's laughing words, the middle-aged woman seemed to think that there was such a young man who entered the restaurant one step faster than them.
However, it seemed that there was no exchange of a word in the whole process.
The middle-aged woman couldn't help raising her head and looked outside the restaurant door, but she couldn't see the young man just now.

"thanks, thanks……"

The middle-aged woman yelled at the restaurant door and the restaurant owner twice.

"Thank you for what I'm doing, the boy ordered it for you."

The restaurant owner smiled, answered, and entered the kitchen.

The middle-aged woman turned her head again, looked at the children at the dining table, and heard the sound, and stopped moving.

Several children raised their heads and sniffed their noses, or turned their heads sideways, as if they were facing her.

The middle-aged woman couldn't help smiling,
"Eat them all. There are a few dishes on the table. Pick them up with chopsticks. Be careful."

Listening to the middle-aged woman's words, the children took their chopsticks and tried to find the dish on the table.

The middle-aged woman looked at the happy faces of the children, and with a smile on her face, she also picked up the chopsticks,
This trip with a few blind children was at her own expense.

Welfare institutions rarely have the opportunity to get these children to go out extra.

But she knew that if these children couldn't go out more when they were young, they would never be able to go out alone when they were older.

Their world will become very small.

……

After finishing the meal, I ordered four dishes for the children in the orphanage when I paid the bill.

Ji Zhuo is walking along the road at the moment, walking towards the residence, while looking at the pages on the Shiyue.com app with his mobile phone.

This is the discussion area of ​​this book again,

He saw someone recommending his book again.

"... I strongly recommend a dog author's new book "Resuscitating Cthulhu". From the beginning to the end of the book, the writing becomes more and more interesting, especially the last few chapters. The writing is so good that I am generous to read it."

no, is that reasonable,
Although the collection growth of this book is okay... not bad... pretty good.

But the total collection is only a few thousand, so it's not like there are readers with evil intentions everywhere.

"I'm just a trumpet: the writing is average, and you are sure that the recent plot is generous, not generous? Then the important supporting roles are written to death! I can bear it!"

Ji Zhuo couldn't hold back, turned on his trumpet to spray his book,

But the effect seems to be unsatisfactory.

"...Is this book not well written? Are you serious?"

"...Write the important supporting roles to death? The current author still has this courage? I'm shocked, I must see it."

"... Trumpet? I think it's really a trumpet. You won't be some author who hates people, black books, right?"

Looking at these comments,
Ji Zhuo was numb all over.

tired……

Turn it off and start reading novels, out of sight is out of mind.

Open the author group.

See if these sand sculpture authors can bring themselves some fun.

"Half fluttering: it's numb, I blocked Chapter 1 when it was put on the shelves.

Octopus: #猫头shocked
New book update: #猫头shocked +1”

Then the group started to grow cats, and Ji Zhuo couldn't help silently clicking +1.

These sand sculpture authors are always so sand sculptures.

"Don't rush, I'm writing now: pornography?
Half fluttering: Don't you look down on people, I can dabble in pornography, dabble in souls.

Don't rush to write: It's not that I look down on people, it's just that you drive and fly here so often, it's hard not to doubt.

New book update: Hey, that's right.Fortunately, Nima, I haven't released a new book recently. Recently, the bosses have gathered to release new books, and there are all channels.

Octopus: That's not enough cheating, look at the 'clumsy but uncommon' boss, how is it that the big guys get together to open a new book, it's not Chaoyangfei @狂不重量.

New book update: He is also one of the gangsters who are gathering to open new books..."

suddenly it was fine,

Watching sand sculpture authors chatting,

Just poke me all of a sudden,
Ji Zhuo felt his heart blocked again,

Thinking about the upcoming recommendation next week, Ji Zhuo's heart became even more blocked, just uncomfortable.

What's wrong with feeling powerless.

put down the phone,
Ji Zhuo was expressionless,

There was a lifelessness in his eyes.

Is this interesting?

It's not interesting.

……

"Resuscitating Cthulhu"

21W words, 3.5W favorites, 4W recommendations, 623 comments, 634 rewards, 1201 investments, 1034 monthly tickets.

Time passed quietly in the crackling sound of keyboard tapping in the study.

Another week passed.

no surprises,

From the chapter push of Squid's new book released to him, the power accumulated in front of this book began to explode,

After reading Fenqiang and Sanjiang this week, Ji Zhuo was stunned to see that there was a sign of a niche subject matter in this book.

The collection is getting higher and higher day by day, seeing Ji Zhuo's heart ache at first, and then numb.

It's almost [-] a day, who can stand it.

Now, it's Sunday afternoon this week,
Ji Zhuo has just finished coding today's update, and is opening the writer's background to prepare to publish the new chapter.

Looking at the various data in the background, his face was expressionless.

Minority themes, niche backgrounds, indigenous protagonists,
No matter how you look at it, it doesn’t look like a book that can catch fire, so he became popular.

Where can I go to reason?
Although the bosses all have the ability to write about unpopular subjects, but is that something that someone with the highest attribute of his speed of seven points can do?

Is this reasonable?

Thinking about it, I still blame Squid, it's all his fault for writing about this niche topic, it's all his fault.

"Hey……"

Thinking about it, Ji Zhuo sighed again,

This book is basically useless.
Just put it directly on the shelf according to the current data, and it can meet the target requirements of the system.
It’s just that the 100 million in the first month is useless, let alone this week’s recommendation is like this, can there be a bigger recommendation next week?

Although this book can make a lot of money if it becomes popular, it is definitely not as good as the system's 100 million per month according to the current situation.

If you don't gain, you lose.
Ji Zhuo, No. 1 novel written at a loss.

However, seeing that the recent data increase has been hopeless,
According to the previous plan, Ji Zhuo didn't mess with the plot anymore,
Instead, try to write as well as possible.
The system's wool can't be squeezed out, so I have to make more money for this book a month,
Return some blood, otherwise he would bleed in his heart thinking about the 100 million every month.

thinking,

Ji Zhuo sent today's update,
Then I switched back to the homepage of the writer's background and looked at some readers' comments.

"...The author hastened to update, I have read all the updates."

"...Suddenly I was thinking about the title of the book, isn't the protagonist also an evil god?"

"...The recent development of the plot is interesting, but the author of the dog is too good at breaking chapters, so hurry up and change it!!"

"...I have voted for the monthly pass, I recommended it, and I even gave a reward of 100 yuan!"

Heh, your dog authors have lost money to write novels for you, so you still have to support me.

Looking at these comments, Ji Zhuo smiled again.

Still the same sentence, the book is on fire,

It's not just related to Ji Zhuo himself,
If it has nothing to do with money, he is still very happy that readers like his books.

After thinking about it, Ji Zhuo re-published the Zhang Cun draft, which was regarded as an addition.

……

"...Editor-in-chief, your judgment is good. This kind of subject matter that he has rarely seen before is not because he is a minority, but because few people know about it."

"...This kind of book can only reach a certain number of words, and it can only gain momentum after a certain amount of accumulation."

"Is it? How is the recommendation of the author's book under your hand this week?"

Shiyue Fiction Network headquarters building, editorial department.

Pen and ink was chatting excitedly with the editor-in-chief,
The editor-in-chief also had a smile on his face.

"The data increase is very good. On average, the collection has increased by [-] a day, which is a big explosion!"

Pen and ink is a little excited, with such a book by such an author under his control, shouldn't he be given more bonus next month?
"...What recommendation do you plan to arrange for him next week?"

The editor-in-chief laughed, and then asked for his pen-and-ink opinion,

"Preparation is a strong push, plus a guide."

Strong push is the new book strong push on the homepage, the line on the top of the APP homepage and scrolling at the bottom of the big envelope.

The editor-in-chief listened to the words of the pen and ink, thought for a while, and then looked back at the book he was reading on the computer screen.

"Let's do this, make a strong push. The guide will be replaced by a big push, another Cthulhu topic, and this "Resuscitating Cthulhu" and "Lord of the Mysteries" will be the main push."

"Row!"

The editor-in-chief has been settled, so the pen and ink naturally have no objections.

Just more excited,

He has also been following Ji Zhuo's "Resuscitating Cthulhu",

He believes in the quality of this book, and with two recommendations, the data will definitely skyrocket.

Well, shouldn't his bonus be more?

Thinking excitedly, Bimo first sent Ji Zhuo a message,

Goodbye Ji Zhuo didn't come back for a while,

I was continuing to flip through some new books that were newly added to the library on Shiyue Novels, doing my usual work,

See if there are any good seedlings.

"I am an evil god in the world of Cthulhu"

Seeing such a book, the movement of pen and ink scrolling the mouse wheel paused for a moment,
Starting a few days ago, it may be the influence of Squid's new book, or it may be the influence of Ji Zhuo's book.

There are also some other Cthulhu themes and new books on elements appearing on Shiyue.com.

Maybe it can really bring some trends.

I flipped through the book, glanced at the introduction to the title and the first few chapters of the book,
It’s okay, pen and ink just sent a station short.

……

the other side,
Ji Zhuo posted another chapter and added it.

Flipping through the book reviews of some readers.

At this moment, there is no way to recover, and the aggrieved mood that can't be squeezed out of the system,

I can only look at the rainbow fart comments of these sand sculpture netizens to ease my mood.

Although sometimes I look at these comments and think about the 100 million that I can no longer get, I feel a bit blocked.

Turned over again.

The Wu Zang Temple began to rebel hungry,
Ji Zhuo turned off the computer and picked up the phone.

Today, being lazy,
Do not go out.

Get some takeaway,
Then I saw the message from the editor.

"Editor: Forced push and special topic will be pushed next week, pay attention to keep updated."

Seeing this news, Ji Zhuo paused,

Then he exhaled.

Forget it, there is no way to recover anyway,
No recommendation whatsoever.

If you block tweets, just block tweets. If you recommend a bigger one, it will give me more blood.

"Clumsy and uncommon: yes, boss."

"Editor: Hmm."

After replying to the message,

Ji Zhuo ordered another takeaway, which was spread out in the back.

I'm a little tired.

……

"Hiccup..."

I ate fried chicken and drank coke.

Ji Zhuo hiccupped, looking for a novel to read on the Shiyue Novel APP with his mobile phone still in his hand.

Write novels, always keep enough reading volume,
Otherwise, if you can't keep up with the times and can't grasp the market, what should you do?
What a fuss.

It's not that he's looking for entertainment, it's not... well, it's not...

"Well, there is another Cthulhu-themed novel?"

I also saw that there are novels with Cthulhu elements on the website, Ji Zhuo glanced at them,
Then swipe down again.

(End of this chapter)
