I really don't want to be a novelist

Chapter 41 "Lightless Doom"?
"Young man is here, what do you want to eat today?"

I went to the restaurant two streets away from my residence later today,

Walking into the restaurant, the owner of the restaurant is already sitting at a table and eating.

Seeing Ji Zhuo walk into the restaurant, he quickly put down the bowls and chopsticks, stood up and greeted him again.

During this period of time, Ji Zhuo often came to this restaurant, and the owner of the restaurant was already familiar with him.

"Fry some potato shreds, let's fry some pork."

Ji Zhuo turned his head and looked at the restaurant which was already a little quiet at the moment, and sat down at the window seat where he usually sat.

"Okay, young man, sit down first, and I'll fry it for you."

The restaurant owner responded with a smile, and went into the kitchen without continuing to eat.

Ji Zhuo nodded,

Sitting at a table, waiting for the food to be served,
At the same time, he took out his mobile phone and looked at the chat records in several groups on the mobile phone.

In the 'Era Coincidence' book friend group.

"Zeng Canghai: Finished Sprinkling Flowers! Finished chasing the dog author's book again!

Wuhu Takeoff: I have been chasing "Resuscitating Cthulhu" every day for several months, and now it is suddenly over, which is really a bit sad.

30 per second: It’s okay, the author of the dog will continue to catch up on the next book.It shouldn't be long, right?
30 per second: It should be...

Grass in the Canyon: Everyone support me, this book has become so popular, and it is also thanks to your sincere cooperation and hard work in publicizing it! "

Yes, this book has come to this point, and none of you can escape the responsibility.

Ji Zhuo looked at the chat in the book friend group, and secretly said something,
Then he snatched a celebration red envelope from a reader in the group, and Ji Zhuo slipped away again.

"Half fluttering: Speaking of it, I have to thank the boss 'Clumsy and Uncommon'. I also opened a new book with Cthulhu elements, and the results are not bad now.

Half fluttering but not fluttering: @狂不重。

New book update: Recently, I have been reading the trend brought about by the clumsy and extraordinary bosses and squids. The theme of Cthulhu is very popular at the beginning of reading.I even want the new book to be Cthulhu-themed, so as to catch the enthusiasm of the big guys.

Squid: Don't.Mainly rely on the clumsy and extraordinary boss to bring the popularity.My books are only in the middle of writing.

Half fluttering: ...

It was me who threw the street: ...

New book update:...

A salted fish wants to turn over: ah! ! !It turned out to be a giant squid!I am dead!

It was me who rushed to the street: ah ah ah!To be able to see the giant squid talking in the group, the Sa family is worth it in this life.

New book update: Ahhh! +1"

Unexpectedly, the group began to re-read, and a chat in the group always ended with re-reading,

After all, the essence of sand sculpture authors and sand sculpture group friends is a repeater.

"squid:……

Clumsy and uncommon:..."

No, the book is finished, and you still have to poke my heart again?

Forget it, the book is finished, it's okay, it's okay.

I'm in a good mood

It's all about making money, I'm in a good state of mind.

Gan!
"A salted fish wants to turn over: ah, the giant squid and the clumsy giant appeared at the same time, and I died!

New book update: Ah, it's a squid...+1"

The group read it again,
Seeing Ji Zhuo felt helpless.

"Clumsy and uncommon: I've said it all, thank you for sending me a red envelope, don't just say it."

"Half fluttering but not fluttering: [Red Envelope]"

After saying a few words, Ji Zhuo was about to slip away. Seeing that someone really gave out red envelopes,
By the way, I touched my hand,
At a glance of 0.01, ten red envelopes of ten cents will be given out.

Ji Zhuo just slipped away.

……

Looking up, the back kitchen of the restaurant is still thinking about the sound of stir-frying,
The dishes are not ready yet.

Lifting the kettle next to him, he took a sip of the glass of water.

Then the phone rang again,
The squid who showed up in the group just now sent a private chat message.

"Squid: Boss "Resuscitating Cthulhu" is finished, and it's finished in less than 200 million words? I think there are still a lot of pages to expand, right?
Clumsy but uncommon: If you don’t want water, the book is finished.

Squid: I feel that I have been connoted...

Clumsy and uncommon: It’s not true, how can you count as water?If there is content, it is not considered water.

Squid: Thank you for your compliment.

Squid: What is the subject of the boss's new book, and when will it be released?

Clumsy and Uncommon: Realistic Subject Matter.Do you want to be together? "

Haha, I don't believe it anymore, I'm writing a new book on realistic subjects, who else can make me fly away suddenly?

When Ji Zhuo replied, Squid didn't reply for a long time.

It may be that he was stunned, or it may be that he scratched his head and couldn't figure out what Ji Zhuo was thinking. The new book found a real subject.

"Squid: I don't dare, although I want to continue to challenge and get out of my comfort zone. However, I am really not sure about writing realistic themes.

Squid: Thumbs up.jpg, I admire it.

Cuttlefish: I really admire the boss for daring to touch the classification of reality.The new book definitely supports it. "

Seeing that the squid responded to several messages in a row, Ji Zhuo seemed to be able to see the squid's bewilderment through the screen.

Ji Zhuo sneered,

Oh, don't dare to follow.

Are you confused, can you give me a chapter this time and let me fly?

Normal people, who would have thought that I would write a fantasy Cthulhu-themed book that would become popular, and then I would write a realistic classification to hit the street?
Heh, I never care about whether I am fluttering or not when I write a book.

Anyway, my father is making money.

Post it in the real category and earn a lot of money!

……

"...the food is here, do you want a meal?"

Then poked the phone screen and exchanged a few words with the squid business,
The restaurant owner also fried the dishes Ji Zhuo asked for and brought them up.

"Give it a shot, thank you."

"You're welcome."

After taking a sip of water, Ji Zhuo started to eat with chopsticks,
The owner of the restaurant next to him ordered a meal for Ji Zhuo, and then went back to the previous table to continue eating.

"Boss, are you the only one looking after this restaurant?"

"My wife died early, my son was studying in the capital, and he only came back during the winter and summer vacations on weekdays. Naturally, I took care of it alone. When I was too busy, I also hired two helpers, but the business was slow these two days, and I was the only one. people."

While eating, Ji Zhuo casually chatted with the restaurant owner at the next table,
For this kind of relative stranger, Ji Zhuo is always not afraid of strangers when chatting.On the contrary, they talked about embarrassment in a half-baked manner.

"...I see. By the way, boss, I want to ask you something."

"You say."

"It's the children of the Guangming Welfare Institute that I saw in your store a while ago. I haven't seen them much these days?"

"The children in the orphanage are all brought out by the helpers of the orphanage with their own money. The orphanage doesn't have that much money. They just take them out to play. How can there be so much money? Don't you think they I don't have much money, so I might take them out for a walk on weekdays to get familiar with the surrounding environment of the orphanage, especially those who are blind. No door."

"Young man, why are you asking this?"

"...It's okay, I'm just a little curious, by the way. Isn't their Guangming Welfare Institute not far from here?"

"It's not far, just follow this street, go forward, turn two corners, and it's in that alley that's a bit off the beaten track. There's a sign hanging at the door."

Ji Zhuo listened to what the restaurant owner said, nodded his head, and didn't ask any more questions.

bow your head, then eat,

After eating, he got up and left again.

out of the restaurant,
Ji Zhuo followed the direction pointed by the restaurant owner, and looked forward.

This is a magical city, and some infrastructure is still in place.

You can see the blind road on the side of the road, but you can see a well cover just across the road, which happens to be embedded in the blind road.
There are also cars parked on the side of the road, the front of which is pressing on the blind road.

Ji Zhuo turned his head and stepped on the blind road,
Closing his eyes, his vision became dark.

Ji Zhuo stretched out his hand, trying to move forward,

After taking two steps, he followed and stopped,

He was actually a little scared.

When he closed his eyes, he didn't know what was in front of him.

He opened his eyes and didn't go towards the orphanage,
Ji Zhuo walked back to his residence.

……

"... Crackling..."

late at night.

The night is still illuminated by the bustling lights of the city,
But after all, it was much quieter than during the day.

Ji Zhuo was in the study, every time he moved his feet, he could hear rustling sounds.

Sitting in front of the computer, the screen of the computer is on, showing the interface of the coding software.

Ji Zhuo crackled and tapped the keyboard a few times, then stopped again.

If it wasn't for fear of a serious imbalance in work and rest, he would still like to code in the middle of the night.

The silence in the middle of the night can soothe the irritability in most of the time.

Looking at the codeword interface displayed on the computer screen, Ji Zhuo rested his hands on the keyboard,

Although I plan to release this new book after a period of time,

But I didn't start writing again after a while.

Ji Zhuo typed out the title of this new book on realistic subjects.

"Lightless Doom"

Then the introduction,
Ji Zhuo thought for a while,

His hands clattered on the keyboard, revising and typing out a brief introduction.

"Introduction: Night fell after the usual dusk, but when many people's alarm clocks rang the next day, there was no usual light.

People staggered and fumbled out of tall buildings and buildings, and could still feel the warmth of the sun falling on their bodies. It turned out that everyone was deprived of the vision of visible light.

It may be a prank by an alien civilization, or it may be a change in a certain physical constant that makes people's eyes no longer receive visible light, and it is no longer possible to see the world intuitively.

Human civilization has become blind, which is the doomsday brought about by not being able to see the light.

Where is human beings going, and how can human beings overcome this shortcoming?Resuscitate powerful in the dark. "

This is probably Ji Zhuo's new book on realistic subjects,
Not only is it a realistic theme, but more precisely, it is more like a soft sci-fi novel with realistic themes and sci-fi elements.

But Ji Zhuo was very dissatisfied when he saw the revised and typed profile.

He will write this novel well, because just relying on the realistic classification of this book, it is enough to be finished.

And it's all about earning money.

Looking at this profile,
Ji Zhuo frowned a little,

He knew what he wanted to write,
Since he was writing about realistic subjects, he definitely wanted to write something meaningful and valuable.

Perhaps the point of the system is to encourage him to write such unflattering things?
However, a good work,
It should not be too preachy, but should be straightforward, telling stories by itself,

Readers naturally have their own reflections.

Instead of forcing your own thoughts directly into the reader's head.

No one likes other people constantly preaching some big truths to themselves.

But now this introduction,
Although I'm telling a story about the end of the day,

But it's still too preachy.

Looking at the introduction, Ji Zhuo felt a little annoyed.

He just felt that this introduction was like shit, it was rubbish.

slightly irritatedly,

I went back and forth and deleted this introduction again,
Ji Zhuo stopped typing on the keyboard,
Running out of better ideas for now.

He rubbed his swollen brows and temples,

Ji Zhuo snapped the laptop back up, stood up from the desk again,

"...It's really hard to write a book with a realistic theme! It's even harder to write than a Cthulhu novel."

"……call……"

Ji Zhuo complained, walked to the window, let out a long breath,
After I feel that this realistic subject matter is finished,
It's better not to write this kind of thing, isn't he popular in writing online novels that hit the street, writing this kind of thing is a headache, and you will make yourself suffer.

Gan!
"go to bed!"

After leaving the study, Ji Zhuo laid himself on the bed in the bedroom.

……

"I'm Mortal: Dogs Author Has a New Book?

Zeng Canghai: No, the first thing I do when I wake up every day is to start reading the Internet, open the author’s homepage of the author of the dog, refresh, um, there are no new books, and I will start reading after exiting.

Grass grows in the canyon: The new book by the author of the dog is almost waiting for the grass to grow. Recently, I have read Squid's "Lord of the Mysteries".The same Cthulhu style as the dog author's last book, you can still read it.But the update is too slow, I still miss the dog author.

30 per second: It’s been several days, and there is no news, but it should be soon, right?

Takeoff Wuhu: What are you in a hurry for?I'm not in a hurry.After so many months, the author of the dog has finally finished the book, so there is no rest, and it always takes time to write a new book.Don't worry, don't worry... I also watched Mortal Cultivation and Succeeding Cthulhu twice...

Grass in the canyon: I don’t know what the author of the dog is doing now?Are you scratching your head in front of your computer for your new book? "

……

"Editor: Boss, did you say that a new book on realistic subjects is being written?

Clumsy and uncommon: I am writing, I am writing.

edit:……

Edit: Is there a main article, can you send it to me?
Clumsy and uncommon: I am writing, I am writing...

edit:……

Editor: Boss, what stage has your new book progressed to?
Clumsy and Uncommon: ...Well, probably at the stage of experiencing life.

edit:? ? ? "

A few more days passed,

Ji Zhuo is currently in the Guangming Welfare Institute,

Two days ago, he was going to visit the orphanage when he saw a notice for recruiting volunteers posted on the entrance of the orphanage.

Volunteers, of course, don't get paid, but they are in charge of meals, Ji Zhuo thought about it, and got involved.

At this moment, by the door of the back kitchen of the canteen of the orphanage, Ji Zhuo looked at the news that the editor had returned,
It seems that the editor's head full of question marks can be seen across the screen.

You are not an actor, and there is also the saying of experientialism.

"...Xiao Ji, have you rinsed that piece of lettuce? It's in the pot."

At this time, another staff member shouted from the back kitchen,

Ji Zhuo could only quickly reply another message to the editor, then turned and went into the kitchen again.

"Clumsy and uncommon: Boss, let's not talk about it, the big sister in the back kitchen asked me to wash the vegetables.

edit:? ? ?”

"coming!"

Ji Zhuo replied as he went to the kitchen.

……

"...Brother Ji Zhuo. Let me tell you, this is how the blind cane is used."

In the canteen of the welfare home,

It is said to be a cafeteria, but it is actually a bigger room with several dining tables.

For the children and staff in the orphanage to eat.

At this moment, the back kitchen prepared the meal.

A group of children from the orphanage sat around the dining tables, eating,
Several employees and volunteers of the orphanage did not sit alone at a table, but scattered around each table,

Some children need help when eating.

Ji Zhuo was sitting at a dining table with that aunt Ai, and there were children from the orphanage sitting at other places at the dining table.

Ji Zhuo was eating with chopsticks in his hand, and also looked at the children sitting at the dining table,

The children in the orphanage, except for the very young ones, are slightly older and have not been adopted yet.

All of them have disabilities, such as congenital cerebral palsy, hearing impairment, speech impairment, visual impairment,
These abandoned children are often with some diseases.

In this orphanage, Ji Zhuo saw the eleven or twelve-year-old boy he saw before, Xu Zihao,

This visually impaired boy, who has been unable to see since he was a child, has become familiar with Ji Zhuo in the past few days.
While eating, he showed Ji Zhuo how to use the blind cane he mastered.

"...Just hold the cane like this, relax your wrist a bit, don't be too stiff. Then when you walk on the road, just use the cane to sweep the blind road. If you feel that it is upright, you can walk forward, feel... ..."

Although Ji Zhuo didn't use a blind stick, he still smiled as he listened to Xu Zihao 'showing off' the knowledge he had acquired.

"Xu Zihao, it's time to eat! All the food is in the bowl, eat quickly."

On the other hand, Aunt Ai, who was next to her, said to Xu Zihao angrily,

"Oh……"

Xu Zihao obediently touched the edge of the table, found his own bowl, and started eating with the rice bowl in his hands.
