Hou Pu: "You deserve it. It's because you always go against the instructor. This is a military camp. If you go against the instructor, you will not end well."

Qiu Shui, who was already angry, became even angrier when he heard this. He sat up abruptly and pointed at Houpu and started cursing.

"Squad leader, are you addicted to being the instructor's lackey? I just cursed a few words in the dormitory, are you going to report me? Believe it or not, I will punish you."

After Qiu Shui's loud shout, several people in the dormitory stood up and stared at Hou Pu fiercely.

"No, I'm the squad leader, you can't do anything rash, Qiu Shui, I think you need to rest now, have a good rest."

"Humph."

Seeing Houpu backing off, Qiushui nodded with satisfaction. Although Houpu was the class monitor in this dormitory, his appeal was really not that good, and his words were not as effective as Qiushui's.

Seeing Zhou Chen sitting there silently and working hard, Xinyi walked over curiously.

"Zhou Chen, you've been writing and drawing whenever you have time these days. Are you writing poetry or something else?"

"writing a novel."

Zhou Chen put down his pen. He was used to typing on the computer, and now he had to go back to the old-fashioned handwriting, which was also a torment for him.

After several days, I only wrote less than 10,000 words. Besides the fact that my handwriting is slow, I also didn't have much time because the lights in the military camp were turned off on time.

"writing a novel?"

Xinyi was surprised: "You can also write novels?"

After hearing this, the others also gathered around and stared at Zhou Chen and the notebook on the table in disbelief.

It would be fine if he could just write poems and songs, but he could even write novels. This shocked everyone. Is there anything Zhou Chen can't do?

"What novel did you write? Show me."

Qiu Shui, who always considered himself a scholar, was the most excited one. He did not care about being tired, pushed through the crowd, rushed to Zhou Chen and shouted.

Zhou Chen said: "It's different from the current mainstream novels. It's only less than 10,000 words long and hasn't officially entered the plot yet. It's hard to tell what's going on right now."

When it comes to making money, he thinks of publishing novels, or writing songs, poems, and the like.

He didn't know much about writing poetry. Most importantly, he didn't remember many modern poems, so it was even more difficult for him to write every word well.

Poetry, however, is different from novels. If a few words are wrong, the meaning of a poem may change.

Just relying on the modern poems he wrote down, let alone whether he can make money, it is hard to say whether they are suitable in this era, and it is not easy to publish them.

Writing songs is a good choice, but the problem is that the situation in China today is not like it will be a dozen years later. The possibility for a newcomer to make money by selling songs is very slim.

If you send it to those big star singers in Hong Kong, there is still some chance, but it is not easy to write a letter and send it to Hong Kong.

So after much thought, Zhou Chen decided that writing a novel would be more suitable. As long as it could be published and serialized, he should be able to earn some start-up capital.

Anyway, he is in military training now, and there is nothing else to do in the barracks, so he can't write much in a day. But over time, his speed will increase, and it is still considerable.

Chapter 286 Zhu Xian, Triple Gate

But now it is 92, and he really doesn't know much about the literature of that era. What he reads most are online novels.

However, if online novels from later generations were put into this era, they would probably not be accepted by editors, so choosing "creation" is the top priority.

A few days ago, he forced Qiu Shui to give him a few novels, and read them carefully, which gave him a preliminary understanding of the literary novels of this era.

The difference between traditional novels and online novels is actually very huge. For Zhou Chen, who is used to online novels, it may be difficult to change all at once.

After thinking it over again, Zhou Chen decided to follow his own ideas and chose two novels. If these two novels were not good enough, then he would have to give up.

Martial arts novels are still very popular in this era, but if you want to publish them, realistic ones seem to have more advantages.

So Zhou Chen conservatively chose two, one was an upgraded version of a martial arts, fairy tale novel, and the other was a youth reality novel.

Xianxia novels actually appeared a long time ago, but there was no such concept before. Zhou Chen thought he could give it a try, so he chose "Zhu Xian".

Although "Zhu Xian" may not be the best online fantasy novel after the 21st century, it definitely has a huge influence. There are many TV series, games and movies adapted from this novel in later generations.

Zhu Xian is not an upgrade-oriented novel like those in online literature. On the contrary, a large part of the novel describes emotions, the relationship between master and apprentice, brotherhood, and love. The struggle between good and evil is also rendered in a very rich way.

When Zhou Chen read this novel for the first time, he liked it very much. Even now, he still has three paper copies of the Zhu Xian novel at home.

It is also because of this that he can still remember the plot of the novel. With his current ability, he cannot copy it, but he can easily imitate it about 70% to 80%.

If the BUG parts can be slightly modified, the quality may be improved to a higher level.

Zhu Xian has more than one million words, which is definitely a long novel in this era. As long as it can be serialized, it can be serialized for a long time.

Another novel he chose was "Triple Door" by Han Han, a young writer he likes very much.

This novel was truly a sensation at the time and became a bestseller for many consecutive years, making high school student Han Han famous with just one book.

However, it is hard to say whether he can cause the same sensation now that he has to write it seven or eight years earlier. Moreover, the background needs to be changed more than in "Zhu Xian".

Zhu Xian and Triple Door are the novels chosen by Zhou Chen. He plans to write them at the same time and submit them for publication when he has finished writing part of them.

Because the word "Triple Door" is relatively short, Zhou Chen chose "Triple Door" first. When Qiu Shui and the others gathered around, that was what they saw.

"Triple Door? What's the title of this book? Suspenseful?"

When Qiu Shui saw the title of the book, he was a little stunned. He thought Zhou Chen wrote a romance novel.

Zhou Chen glared at him and said, "Fuck you, you call yourself a scholar, but you only read the title when you read a book?"

"Oh, let me see. Let me see the content."

Qiu Shui started to read the content, and Xinyi and others surrounded him, clamoring to read it.

After a long commotion, the group finally gathered around the table and started reading.

A few minutes later, this group of people were even more surprised, because in their opinion, the beginning of Zhou Chen's novel was very well written, at least they felt good after reading it.

Qiu Shui even gave Zhou Chen some advice: "Zhou Chen, I think your novel is good. Which newspaper or magazine are you going to submit it to? I have studied several literary magazines in Yanjing, and there are some very powerful ones among them. Do you want me to recommend some to you?"

Zhou Chen really didn't know much about the situation in Yanjing, so he naturally wouldn't refuse.

"Tell me about it."

Then Qiu Shui told Zhou Chen everything he knew. He sincerely hoped that Zhou Chen's novel would be noticed. If Zhou Chen's novel was noticed, it would be a huge encouragement for him and would make him more determined to continue his literary creation instead of giving up halfway.

Time flies. Life in the military camp is boring and monotonous. Every day is spent in military training during the day, classes at night, and resting in the dormitory.

Most people are exhausted after a day's training. There are very few people like Zhou Chen who can remain energetic after a day of military training.

In the blink of an eye, it is the eve of National Day, and the gala will also be held on this day.

In order to prepare for the party, the military training ended early. All the instructors and students gathered in the auditorium before four o'clock in the afternoon, waiting for the arrival of the leaders.

Before the party officially started, the students did not just sit there doing nothing, but kept rehearsing.

We started waiting at four o'clock, but it was past six o'clock and the leader still hadn't arrived.

The students were already very hungry due to the heavy consumption of energy during the military training. They had no time to eat and were starving.

However, after nearly a month of military training, the edges and corners of these gifted college students have been smoothed out. Even if they are starving, they can only complain in their hearts but dare not say it out loud.

The students from Renhe Medical College sat in the front row, Zhou Chen sat on the edge, and next to him sat Qiu Shui and others.

This time, he will sing Goodbye Old Soldiers, which requires the cooperation of more than a dozen classmates. However, they only need to stand on the stage and respond in time when they are called. The other parts will be completed by him alone.

Xiao Hong forced herself from the girl's seat to sit next to Qiu Shui and started touching Qiu Shui all over, making Qiu Shui look around with embarrassment.

"Hey, hey, Xiaohong, this isn't a good idea. There are so many people here. Don't, don't do this. What do you want to do?"

After a month of military training, Qiu Shui and Xiao Hong have become completely familiar with each other, and Xiao Hong has made no secret of her affection for Qiu Shui.

But Qiu Shui hasn't responded yet, firstly because he feels embarrassed, and secondly because of Xiaobai Gu Ming.

Gu Ming has already shown in front of all the boys that he is determined to win Xiao Hong, so Qiu Shui, as his buddy, feels that he cannot snatch the woman his brother likes.

Xiao Hong didn't have as many concerns as Qiu Shui. She looked at Qiu Shui with lifeless eyes and asked, "Qiu Shui, do you have anything to eat?"

"No."

"Really not?"

"Really? Stop pulling it. It would be embarrassing if others saw it."

After confirming that Qiu Shui had nothing to eat, Xiao Hong sighed with disappointment, "This place is so cruel. I was starving and exhausted. They only let the donkey pull the mill and not let it eat grass. It's too cruel, really too cruel."

Just as Xiao Hong was complaining, the regiment commander of the army walked into the meeting hall with a group of officers.

"Students, the leader's schedule has changed temporarily today. Dinner time will be postponed. The specific time will be notified separately."

"Keep rehearsing."

As soon as the head of the delegation left, the auditorium was immediately filled with sighs.

They have been hungry for a long time, and now they are going to continue to be hungry. This is really unbearable for everyone.

Instructor Sun took advantage of the leader's absence and quietly walked to Zhao Yingnan's side and whispered, "Zhao Yingnan, come with me."

Zhao Yingnan didn't understand why, but followed anyway.

When others were starving, Zhou Chen very calmly took out a bag of biscuits from his arms.

When people around saw the biscuits Zhou Chen took out, their eyes turned red.

"Fuck, Zhou Chen, where did you get the cookies?"

"Give me some cookies."

"Brother, we are brothers who share the same bunk bed. Please, give me some of the cookies."

"........."

The boys all begged Zhou Chen with all kinds of nice words, not for anything else, just for the bag of cookies in Zhou Chen's hand.

Although the girls around didn't say anything, their eyes were all on Zhou Chen's biscuits. No matter who they were, they didn't have much resistance in the face of hunger.

Only Xiao Hong was thick-skinned enough, and said to Zhou Chen anxiously: "Zhou Chen, I'm starving to death. As long as you give me some biscuits, I'll do anything for you."

This girl really did it for food, she went all out.

Chapter 287 A Fight over a Bag of Biscuits

Facing a group of ferocious eyes, Zhou Chen remained calm and slowly put a bag of biscuits in his palm.

"There's only one bag of cookies. If I share them with you, I won't have any left. Do you think I'm that noble?"

"Of course, Zhou Chen, you are still a great person. I know you must be very noble. I believe in my eyes."

Wow, squad leader Houpu really has no shame at all. He just praised Zhou Chen vigorously and stared at the biscuits in Zhou Chen's hand with green eyes.

"go away."

Xinyi and Qiushui pushed Houpu aside without any hesitation.

Xinyi raised her finger: "One week's worth of socks for a bag of cookies."

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Hong shouted directly: "Two weeks, I will help you wash your socks for two weeks, and give me the biscuits."

"Xiaohong, do you have to be so cruel? You are a girl and this is a matter of our boys' dormitory, don't interfere." Xinyi shouted angrily.

Gu Ming stood on Xiao Hong's side and said to Zhou Chen: "Zhou Chen, give the biscuits to Xiao Hong, and I will help you wash your socks for two weeks."

"Damn it, Xiaobai, are you still a human being? You are betraying the organization." Xinyi cursed angrily.

Gu Ming mercilessly exposed Xinyi's little thoughts: "Xinyi, don't think I don't know. You want cookies for your demon sword, right? You do it for the demon sword, and I do it for Xiaohong. What's wrong with that?"

Xinyi called out again: "One month, one month of socks."

"Two months, Zhou Chen, I'll cover your socks for the next two months."

"........."

Looking at Xinyi and Gu Ming who were arguing with red faces, Zhou Chen, the person involved, was also confused. He hadn't said anything yet, and these two people were fighting among themselves?

Xinyi and Gu Ming’s reactions illustrate a problem: women are indeed a nuisance, and even brothers can’t handle them.

"How about you each do half, and each of you help wash my socks for a month?"

Zhou Chen's proposal stunned Xinyi and Gu Ming. They looked at each other fiercely before reaching a consensus.

"it is good."
