Chapter One Thousand and Ninety-Six The Storm Comes Back

Zhang Zian saw the editor-in-charge's message, savored it several times, and felt an inexplicable sense of anticipation in his heart. Did things change?

Now that the weather is warm, you can go out in casual clothes. Without further ado, he told π to wait a while, ran downstairs by himself, opened the rolling door, and trotted to the newsstand to the north to buy newspapers.

He came early today, and sure enough, he bought a freshly baked morning newspaper that still smelled like ink.

Although it wasn't the headline, I found an article the size of a bean curd in the corner of the front page. The signature was familiar to him, and it was Zhu Jisheng again. The title of the article was "Don't Overcorrect Literary Criticism."

This time seems to be written in a hurry, it is relatively short, not as long-winded as last time, but the overall meaning is very clear, expressing that Internet literature should not be one-size-fits-all, specific issues should be analyzed in detail, and online novels should be guided and supported to be healthy and orderly In terms of development, traditional literature and online literature are not opposed to each other and can promote each other.

At the end of the article, it implicitly stated that there was ambiguity in the content of the previous article. π’s novel should have been included in the recommended reading list, but due to errors in writing and typesetting, it has suffered injustice. I would like to express to the author of the novel Sincere apologies.

Zhang Zian finished reading in one breath, heaved a long sigh of relief, the haze that had been suppressed in his heart for many days was finally swept away.

However, this person's explanation looks very suspicious. Is it really a mistake in writing and layout? With such a big name, publishing a headline article in a newspaper with such a large circulation, how could you send the manuscript to the editor without first proofreading it yourself? Considering the man's age, it's not impossible to make such a mistake, but...it always feels weird.

Now that he didn't have time to think about it so much, he took the newspaper and trotted all the way back to the pet shop, went up to the second floor, excitedly slapped the newspaper on the desk, and pointed it for π to read.

"π, don't worry, your novel has been vindicated!"

"Squeak?"

The listless π was taken aback by him, and only read the article carefully under his repeated urging.

"I didn't expect that you were accidentally injured. This is quite unlucky-but it was a blessing in disguise. This person has such a great influence. Being recommended by him by name, the effect should be enough to make up for the loss of being removed from the recommendation position before."

"Squeak?"

π was bewildered by the sudden turn of events, but he still couldn't quite believe it.

Zhang Zian explained to it the stakes. This kind of newspaper would never make jokes, and the editor's message could also be used as a side confirmation. In short, there is no need to worry anymore.

π repeatedly confirmed with him several times, and he always got affirmative answers, and the expression on his face changed from cloudy to sunny, and he was full of energy. It thought that today's chapter hadn't been written yet, so it sat upright and started typing.

Among the elves, only Vladimir was still sleeping, and was awakened by their voices at this time, rolled out from under the bed, scratched the back of his neck with his paws, yawned and asked: "Early morning Yes, what are you excited about?"

Zhang Zian wanted to tell everyone the good news, and immediately replied: "Sorry, Vladimir, I woke you up. In fact, π's novel was rehabilitated. The person who wrote the article published the article again, saying that Got it wrong before."

"Oh, that's good."

Vladimir was unmoved, as if he heard a very ordinary news.

"Well, the only suspicious point is that this person's attitude is a bit strange." He said in a low voice while π was not paying attention.

Vladimir smiled faintly, "It's not surprising, people are inherently transmuted, and besides, he may have really made a mistake before, anyway, it's fine."

"It should be fine." Zhang Zian sincerely hoped so.

The matter of π has come to an end for the time being, and I will only confirm with the editor after I get to work.

Vladimir wiped his face indiscriminately, then ran downstairs wagging his tail.

He looked at his phone, and there were several more unread messages after one night. In addition to the interview requests from media reporters,

[Broken World] who hadn't contacted for a while sent an email.

[Broken World] he knew from the Wanghai Pavilion forum. This person wrote a web crawler program and was the first to discover that cat abuse incidents had spread across the country.

That web crawler program has been placed in the auto-start list of the laptop. As long as π turns on the computer to write a novel, the program will always run in the background, automatically collecting, analyzing, and sorting out cat abuse incidents in forums across the country.

This program is no longer needed, just delete it sometime.

[Broken World]: I was skeptical at first, but you are right. After observing these few days, I found that cat abuse incidents across the country are rapidly subsiding. A pot of cold water was poured on the charcoal fire, which almost completely extinguished the fire, leaving only a few sporadic sparks still burning, which should be an exception. I'm curious, how did you know this in advance? Before you said that this was due to the phased results achieved in the construction of socialist spiritual civilization, you should not be serious, right?

[Zhang Zian]: [Funny] Of course it is serious.

He thanked the other party for sharing the crawler program generously, but it was inconvenient to explain the inside story to the other party.

After sending out the email, I didn't expect the other party to reply to another email right away. It seems that this person has woken up, or hasn't slept yet - based on Zhang Zian's understanding of tech geeks, it's probably the latter.

[Broken World]: [laughing and crying] Well, since you don't plan to say it, then I won't ask, after all, everyone has secrets.

[Zhang Zian]: [Funny] [Funny].

Zhang Zian regards this as a daily chat. He and [Broken World] have never met before. They got acquainted on the forum because of the cat abuse incident, and they don't know much about each other. Now that the cat abuse incident has subsided, if there is no accident, this may be the last contact between him and the other party, and then they will gradually forget about each other.

This is like the friends you meet in online games, no matter how much you hit it off while playing the game, most of them will lose contact with each other as the popularity of the game subsides, and finally forget each other completely as the game is closed. Because the game is the link between each other, just like the cat abuse incident is the link between Zhang Zian and [Broken World].

Zhang Zian thought it was like this, and it was pretty good to end with two [funny] expressions.

Unexpectedly, just as he put down his phone and was about to go downstairs to do his daily cleaning work, the other party sent another email.

[Broken World]: Although the cat abuse incident has shown signs of ending, I would like to remind you that the world is still in a state of collapse.
