"A bottle of sherry and red five!"
In Xicheng District, Jiangcheng, hidden in the Feilong Internet cafe deep in the streets, Wang Pu photographed a ten dollar note on the counter with his ID card. ▲ - eight ▲ - eight ▲ - reading ▲ - book ◇. o≧
He looked around the smoke filled room and saw that his old seat was still empty. He was relieved and whistled to the little girl at the bar.
The little girl at the bar glared at Wang Pu angrily and threw back the cigarettes, drinks and brushed ID card to him.
"You have only 15 yuan left in your card. Do you want to recharge?"
Wang Pu grabbed something and said with a smile, "don't worry. Let's run out. Now there's no discount."
The little girl at the bar rolled her eyes and turned her head to ignore him.
Wang Pu didn't care. He sat down in his position and skillfully turned on the computer.
There are at least hundreds of Internet cafes in Jiangcheng, and Feilong Internet cafe is one of them. It has a long history and backward conditions. Bailai machines have been used for four or five years, almost to the point of elimination.
The place is also small. It's estimated that people in half of the Internet cafes can smell it when they sit in their own position. It's probably because of this. Although there are no smoking signs here, smoking is ignored.
The most important thing is that the price of Feilong Internet cafe is very cheap. It only costs 2 yuan an hour, and there is an activity to rush 100 and send 100 from time to time, so that young people like Wang Pu who live at the bottom of the city can also find their own cheap happiness here.
The old machine started very slowly, and Wang Pu was not in a hurry. He put the drink aside first, and then tore open the cigarette box.
"Lao Wang, give me one."
Suddenly there was a low, hoarse voice nearby, which made people shudder.
"Lying trough!"
Wang Pu, who was unprepared, was startled and turned to look at the guy next door for cigarettes.
This guy Wang Pu knew: "great God, do you want to scare people to death?"
"Great God" is definitely a legend in Feilong Internet cafe. People who often come to Internet cafes don't know him. He is about the same age as Wang Pu. He is unkempt and thin, and always looks like a lack of sleep.
There are many stories about the great God. The most famous one is that he fought continuously for seven days and seven nights in an online game just launched. He slept for less than one day. He was so scared that the boss almost called the police for fear of his sudden death in front of the computer.
But the great God's vitality is stronger than cockroaches. When Wang Pu first came to the Feilong Internet cafe to surf the Internet a few years ago, he still looks like what he looks like now.
In addition, the great God makes people admire that he never goes out to work and earns Internet fees and meals by playing games.
For Wang Pu's complaint, the great God did not look guilty and continued to stretch out his hand: "give me a cigarette..."
"I've convinced you!"
Wang Pu simply took out half a pack of cigarettes and stuffed it to the other party: "half of you, brother. Is it enough loyalty?"
The great God played a game with Wang Pu before, so they still have a little friendship.
For Wang Pu's generosity, the great God sniffed: "half a packet of red five is also about righteousness? Pull..."
Wang Pu was so angry that he wanted to get the cigarette back. As a result, he put it in his pocket.
With one in his mouth.
"Lying trough!"
Wang Pu angrily retracted his hand, held the mouse pad, opened the browser and logged in to his own Feixun at the same time.
Didi didi!
The avatar of Feixun kept jumping. Wang Pu opened it one by one, pulled the fraudsters, borrowers and harassers into the blacklist, returned the information of several friends, and finally opened the group chat of [Laobai group].
[Laobai group] is a large group of thousands of people. The composition of hundreds of members in the group is very complex, ranging from doctors and professors to small brick workers. The only thing in common is that like Wang Pu, they are lovers of online novels!
And reading is very old.
Wang Pu, 25, has been reading online novels for 10 years. When he was in junior high school, he began to rent pirated books. A 50 cents book can be good for a few days. Later, he looked for books online. It can be said that he read countless books.
For Wang Pu now, reading online novels is the greatest happiness he can get at the least cost. What he reads online is genuine, serious and proud VIP subscribers, but most of his subscription coins are obtained through various activities of the book station and red envelopes sent by local tyrants.
But recently, Wang Pu has found that his happiness is more and more hard won. It's not about money. He still has a lot of subscription coins in his accounts of several major websites.
But there are fewer and fewer books that can be read and appetizing!
This is the biggest sorrow of "old white" readers like Wang Pu. If they read more books, they naturally have higher requirements. They can't accept those novels with rough writing, excessive YY and serious routines. However, most of them are filled with such books on the website.
Wang Pu was helpless. He even thought of writing a book by himself. As a result, he wrote thousands of words and found that it was not easy to write a book.
Obviously, there are a lot of ideas in his head, but the text content knocked out by the keyboard is very awkward. He feels very ashamed when looking at it, so he can only give up.
The problem of book shortage cannot be solved.
"We recommend some food and grass, preferably new books. I've basically read all the old books!"
Wang Pu shouted in the crowd, "there are no books to read!"
"Ten thousand tons of copper ball!"
"I'm the same. I've been reading old books again recently, or those old books that write brilliantly. What ghosts are they now!"
"The story of eight wastelands subduing demons is good and highly recommended."
"I've just seen it. It's OK in Xianxia. It's being raised!"
"I'm watching midnight grave keeper. It's terrible..."
The group of friends talked and recommended more than a dozen books, but Wang Pu was very disappointed because these books were either what he had read or what he didn't like.
Wang Pu likes fantasy, Xianxia and historical online novels.
Just as he was about to put away the chat box and look for it on the website, a group member with ID "old bookworm" said, "I'm watching Xiaoao Jianghu. It's very interesting and recommended to you."
He also attached an address link.
Wang Pu easily clicked the website and opened the new book recommended by "old bookworm".
Xiaoao Jianghu?
The title of this book is OK. At least it's not a demon emperor tyrant Aotian. I hope there's a surprise!
[Laobai group] there are a lot of people. Like Wang Pu, there are many group members who click the address.
Everyone is short of books!
Soon someone was tucking up in the group: "I am dizzy, make complaints about martial arts? Is that not an antique?"
"Sweat, only 70000 words. How can you bear to destroy such seedlings?"
"Haven't signed a contract yet, and the data is a little bleak. It's really a good book?"
"Old bookworm, you can't push yourself?"
"Self push + 1!"
To tell the truth, Wang Pu also suspects that the "old bookworm" is self pushing or friendship pushing. The book he pushed not only has not signed a contract, but also has a small number of words and poor performance. If it is really a good book, isn't it that the editor of Inspur reading has gone astray?
Hundreds of clicks, dozens of collections, reading in the tide of such a big station, really can't rush anymore!
Wang Pu has mixed with the author group and still knows a little about the online literary circle.
And this martial arts theme It's really non mainstream.
The works in Inspur reading are divided into fantasy, immortal Xia, city, history, online games, sports, military, science fiction, supernatural and so on. In addition, there is a user-defined type.
The so-called custom type is to allow the author to define his own works, such as fantasy, sadistic love, Super Science and so on. Basically, they are minority articles and brain holes.
Xiaoao Jianghu recommended by "old bookworm" is divided into user-defined types, and the author's definition is martial arts.
Wuxia, in Wang Pu's impression, it really belongs to the novel theme of antique level. He vaguely remembers that he seemed to have read a book about divine sword when he was a child, which seemed to be written by a writer of Xiangjiang.
Will books on this subject be the food and grass that Laobai people like?
He subconsciously gave this book a negative score.
"The old bookworm" explained in the group: "it's not self pushing. I'm personal food and grass. See for yourself."
Wang Pu thought that there was no book to read anyway. Even if he contributed a few clicks to others, it didn't matter. It was just to support newcomers, so he clicked to read--------------
First, send it. (to be continued)
