Chapter 534 How About You Write Another Vernacular Version?

Qingyu got off work in the early morning that day.

But despite this, he only revised the content of two chapters, and there were some things he was not sure about.

He had to ask Chen Shuangxue after work tomorrow, and then ask for the contact information of the author of this book.

Only by communicating directly with the author can he work more efficiently.

Although this is a bit disturbing to the other party, if he doesn't confirm, he dare not say that he has completed the proofreading.

When he got home and lay on the bed, it was already one o'clock in the morning.

But at this time, Qingyu still didn't feel sleepy at all.

"Can this kind of book really become popular?"

Although Qingyu was shocked today, the author's writing style and vocabulary are definitely his editing career... No, even his ancient Chinese teacher in college may not be able to write this kind of article, right?

However, this kind of article, let alone the new readers, even an old bird like him who has read countless articles, may not be able to read it.

When writing a novel, the first thing is fun, and then the writing style and plot.

Unless you are a very famous author, everyone knows that your later content is very exciting.

Otherwise, in today's fast food culture, writing like this will definitely fail!

"But this is what Editor-in-Chief Chen told me to do, so it shouldn't be a novice author."

Qingyu thought so.

"Just do your job well, there's no need to think too much."

Having said that, Qingyu didn't fall asleep until two in the morning.

After all, it was his first important task in Wan Gu, so he wanted to do it well anyway.

...

The next day, Qingyu arrived in Wan Gu, and after working for an hour, he went to Chen Shuangxue's office.

"Editor-in-Chief Chen, are you busy?"

Qingyu knocked on the door and asked.

"Oh, Qingyu, come in."

Chen Shuangxue closed the data statistics page on the computer and said with a smile.

"What's the matter?"

"It's like this, I read the book "Journey to the West" yesterday, and it was written...very well. My ability is a bit insufficient, and I'm not sure about some sentences and words. I wonder if I can communicate with the author so that I can proofread it faster."

Qingyu felt a little embarrassed after saying that.

Editor-in-Chief Chen, don't you think there's something wrong with his ability?

Chen Shuangxue was a little surprised when she heard Qingyu's question.

"You didn't communicate with the author yesterday. Did you proofread it yourself? How many chapters did you proofread?"

Qingyu was a little stunned. He didn't even have the author's contact information. How could he proofread it if he didn't proofread it himself?

"Well, I proofread it myself. I proofread two chapters."

Chen Shuangxue didn't know whether to laugh or cry when she heard that.

"You are really amazing. I read it all night and could only understand a little bit."

"Okay, don't be afraid to disturb him. Just ask directly. Who made him write so difficult to understand."

Chen Shuangxue waved her hand.

But Qingyu was still sitting there for a long time.

"Well? Do you have anything else?"

Chen Shuangxue looked puzzled, and Qingyu was even more puzzled.

"Editor-in-chief Chen, you haven't given me the author's contact information yet."

"Well, don't you have it?"

Chen Shuangxue was surprised. Didn't Qingyu used to be the editor-in-charge of Mulinsen?

Did Chen Shuren delete him?

"Mu Linsen deleted you?"

Qingyu was still wondering what Chen Shuangxue meant by that. What did he mean by having contact information?

He didn't even know who the author of this novel was!

However, what did it have to do with Mu Linsen?

"Mu Da didn't delete me, did he? I... I haven't sent messages to him for a long time. I don't know if he deleted me."

Qingyu answered patiently.

"Then ask him."

Chen Shuangxue said casually.

"Uh, what to ask?"

Qingyu was a little embarrassed. Can an author like Mu Linsen be asked by a small and transparent editor like him?

Could he ask if Mu Linsen has a new book?

"Ask about proofreading! He is the author of "Journey to the West". You don't ask him, but ask me!"

Chen Shuangxue looked at Qingyu with a strange face. Why did he feel that this boy was a little silly?

"Ah? "Journey to the West" is Mu Linsen's?"

"You don't know?"

Chen Shuangxue was confused, and then she thought of something and turned around to open the file she sent to Qingyu.

After seeing the email with no other information except the title of the book, Chen Shuangxue was embarrassed.

Chen Shuren sent her the manuscript, so she naturally knew who the author was.

But she forgot about it when forwarding it.

No wonder Qingyu came to ask for instructions.

He was wrongly blamed.

But at this time, Qingyu didn't pay attention to Chen Shuangxue's subsequent embarrassment at all.

He was trapped in that sentence at this time.

"Journey to the West" belongs to Mu Linsen.

In other words, he, Qingyu, once again became Mu Linsen's editor!

And now, it is Mu Linsen who has become the supreme god of online literature!

After figuring this out, Qingyu stood up with tears in his eyes.

Chen Shuangxue was shocked.

No way, so aggrieved?

But then Qingyu's words made her a little bit amused.

"Editor-in-chief Chen, thank you for your trust. I will definitely do a good job of proofreading "Journey to the West" and will not let you and Mu Da down!"

After speaking, Qingyu straightened his back and walked out.

"Hmm... quite lively."

But thinking of Chen Shuren's "Journey to the West", Chen Shuangxue had a headache.

Will anyone really read this kind of writing?

After thinking about it, Chen Shuangxue opened Mu Linsen's dialog box.

It's interesting to say that even though she knew Chen Shuren was Mu Linsen, Chen Shuangxue still used Mu Linsen's account every time she communicated with Chen Shuren about the novel.

Chen Shuren said it several times, but Chen Shuangxue didn't care at all.

"Are you there? Tell me about your new book."

"What's wrong?"

Chen Shuren replied immediately.

Since the showdown, Chen Shuren would reply immediately whenever he saw Chen Shuangxue's message.

This is the instinct for survival.

"Your book "Journey to the West" is a bit too obscure. Will readers like it?"

"Of course... wait, there may be a reading threshold."

Chen Shuangxue looked at Chen Shuren's words with a black line on her face.

"Is that a reading threshold? I can finish reading 100,000 words of other books in the time it takes me to read two chapters of your book!"

"Uh... then how about writing a vernacular version?"

Chen Shuren asked.

"Write it. When the time comes, send out the classical Chinese version first. When the readers are confused, take out the vernacular version and let them feel Mu Linsen's love."

Chen Shuangxue suddenly had a good operation point.

"Awesome!"

"Speak properly!"

Chen Shuangxue looked at the two vulgar words sent by Chen Shuren and typed unhappily.

"Okay, but the two books you mentioned before are the classical Chinese version and the vernacular version of "Journey to the West". There is no third book."

Looking at Chen Shuren's words, Chen Shuangxue's mouth curled up.

At first, he looked impatient, but in the end, he took her words to heart.

"No, the third book depends on my mood. If I'm in a good mood, I don't have to write it. If I'm in a bad mood, there may be a fourth book!"

"..."

Closing the chat box, Chen Shuangxue continued to look at the data.

At this time, in the office area outside, Qingyu was already excited.

Before coming to Wan Gu, he thought of any situation.

For example, being suppressed, being treated as a spy, or being used as a scapegoat.

But I never thought that Wangu would take off!

This is Mu Linsen!

Even if he wrote a pile of shit, there are probably hundreds of thousands of readers who will come to smell it and guess what secrets are hidden in this pile of shit.

Therefore, it is better for "Journey to the West" to have a threshold.

This will allow readers with cultural background to feel superior.

When someone interprets Mu Linsen's book, more people will naturally come to study it.

Although the initial sales of this book may not be high, it will definitely be a great success after fermentation.

And he, as the editor-in-charge of Mu Linsen's book.

Not only does he not have to worry about future performance, but he will also leave a name in the online literature world!

Thinking of this, Qingyu immediately put away his thoughts and opened WeChat chat.

Since it is Mu Da's book, he must do his best!

As he said, Qingyu started typing on the keyboard.

After a long period of deliberation, he sent a line of text.

"Mu Da, hello, I am the proofreader of "Journey to the West". I have some questions about this book and want to consult. Is it convenient?"

One minute, two minutes.

In just two minutes, Qingyu began to feel uneasy.

Is Mu Da busy?

Or does Mu Da not want to talk to me?

Or...

Just when Qingyu was thinking about it, Mu Linsen replied.

"You went to Wan Gu?"

"Does Mu Da still know me?"

Qingyu was a little excited.

"I know, isn't it you who wrote the book "Zhu Xian"?"

"Yes!"

Qingyu blushed, she didn't expect Mu Da to remember it so clearly.

It seems that everything he did was rewarded!

Of course, what Qingyu didn't know was that Chen Shuren also had a similar habit to Chen Shuangxue.

He would give a special note to each netizen.

And Qingyu's information on Chen Shuren was 'Zero Point Editor', 'Zhu Xian Editor'.

"Very good, Wan Gu is a good company, keep working hard!"

"Yes, I will do my best!"

Qingyu said solemnly.

"As for "Journey to the West", you don't need to proofread this one."

Qingyu, who was originally excited, was stunned immediately.

No need to proofread?

Flying from the ground to the clouds, and then falling from the clouds to the ground, Qingyu felt it all today.

Sure enough, does Muda think I'm too bad?

"Okay."

Bearing the heartache, Qingyu typed out two words.

But as soon as he sent it out, he saw Mu Linsen's reply.

"I will write a vernacular version later, you can proofread that one then."

Hmm?

Vernacular version?

Qingyu straightened up immediately.

So that's it, so that's it!

Sure enough, Muda is Muda!

Others write one book, he writes two!

"Okay, I know, I'm on call at any time!"

"Okay, I'll send it to you in two days, I'm going to get busy."

"Okay, Muda, you're busy."

Looking at the chat box that had ended, Qingyu threw himself on the chair.

"Today's sunshine is so bright!"

A colleague passing by heard this and looked at the cloudy sky outside, with a puzzled look on his face.

...

Yuzhou.

Chen Shuren, who had just finished talking to Qingyu, had already started another game of Go.

In the past two days, Chen Shuren had not set out yet. Every day, except for going out in the morning to play a game with Li Shuheng, he stayed in his room and played Go on the Yuzhou Go platform.

The result of two days of fighting allowed Chen Shuren's account to reach amateur level 8.

It's level 8, not eight dan.

This is the result of Chen Shuren's Go skills reaching the mastery level.

Of course, it doesn’t mean that only the proficient level of Go is amateur level 8, but because Chen Shuren has limited time every day, even if he wins every game after reaching the proficient level, he will only reach level 8.

This is because there is an algorithm for skipping levels after winning streak, otherwise Chen Shuren’s level would be lower.

Ding Ding Ding!

The door was knocked.

“Come in.”

Chen Shuren shouted without turning his head.

Tang Yingcheng came in from outside the door and saw Chen Shuren still playing chess, and felt helpless.

“Why did you get addicted to Go?”

“Isn’t this…”

“Don’t say it’s for material!”

Tang interrupted Chen Shuren’s casting.

Chen Shuren laughed awkwardly.

“Don’t you think it’s a good feeling to improve your level?”

“Then shouldn’t you consider enjoying it after finishing your own things?”

Tang Yingcheng was helpless.

It’s already the end of September. If Chen Shuren doesn’t hurry up, he may not be able to finish the planning of “Run Together” by the end of the year.

There will be filming later!

We have already completed ten states. We can’t give up all our efforts in the final stage, right?

“Oh…”

Chen Shuren responded, and after the victory was displayed on the computer screen, he looked at Tang Yingcheng.

“Tomorrow, anyway, our plan has been made, let’s start from tomorrow.”

“You said, early tomorrow morning!”

“I can’t do it early in the morning. I have to go and say hello to the old man in the park.”

Chen Shuren thought of Li Shuheng.

After all, the old man was teaching him very seriously. He had to say hello before leaving, otherwise it would be too rude.

Of course, Chen Shuren would not admit that he wanted to see if his master-level Go skills could beat that old man.

“Okay, then at noon.”

Tang Yingcheng thought about it and could only change the plan for tomorrow slightly.

“Okay, then I… continue?”

Tang Yingcheng rolled his eyes and left.

…

The next day.

“Hey, Xiao Chen is here, come on, I’ll teach you a powerful layout today.”

Li Shuheng smiled when he saw Chen Shuren coming.

No teacher doesn't like smart students. Chen Shuren is a very smart one in Li Shuheng's class.

In just two or three days, Chen Shuren's Go level has risen rapidly.

Li Shuheng estimated that it would not take long for Chen Shuren to reach the level of amateur beginner.

Of course, this has something to do with Chen Shuren's talent and his teaching.

"Mr. Li, today I will show you how good I am!"

Chen Shuren's words made Li Shuheng laugh.

"Okay, let me see how much you have improved in one day!"

The two began to talk about chess.

Half an hour later, Zhang Zhongyi arrived on time.

As soon as he sat down, he felt something was wrong.

Why is Mr. Li frowning?

Zhang Zhongyi was puzzled and then took a look at the chess game.

Hey!

In doubt, Zhang Zhongyi looked at Chen Shuren.

Was it this kid who played?

Didn't he take over someone else's endgame?

Zhang Zhongyi didn't quite believe that Chen Shuren could play such a chess game, so he watched it intently.

Another fifteen minutes passed, and Chen Shuren shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"I lost, Mr. Li is awesome."

Li Shuheng laughed: "You almost got it."

"Come on, let's play another game. I didn't handle a place well just now. I will definitely win more than one piece from you this time!"

Li Shuheng said as he cleaned up the chess pieces on the board.

But Chen Shuren spoke.

"Mr. Li, Mr. Zhang, I came here today to tell you that my work is about to start, so I have to leave here."

As Chen Shuren finished speaking, Li Shuheng's hand that was cleaning up the chess pieces froze.

Leave?
