Chapter 78 Testing the Waters
When Luoyang returned to the dormitory, the scene he saw was like this——
A boy was tilting his head, staring at the computer screen with shining eyes, looking dazed. People who didn't know him would think he was watching some wonderful love action movie, and he didn't even know someone was walking past him.
"By the way, is it really okay for you to enter my room without permission like this?" Luoyang coughed lightly, breaking the silence in the room.
"Don't make trouble!" Zhu Changhong said without raising his head, and then continued to stare at the computer screen with a hungry wolf-like look.
Luoyang was stunned, wondering if he had walked into the wrong room. Why did he feel that this beast who occupied his computer was the owner of this room...
When he got closer, Luoyang found that Zhu Changhong was reading the "Eternal Sword" he had just written. He shook his head helplessly, and Luoyang peeled a banana and sat aside to eat it.
Fortunately, hardcore bookworms like Zhu Changhong have one characteristic, that is, they read books very quickly.
When Luoyang had eaten most of the bananas, Zhu Changhong had finished reading the story of "The Sword of Immortality". He slapped his thighs hard with both hands and suddenly shouted loudly: "Good book, really good book!"
Luoyang, who was eating bananas on the side, was startled by the sudden shout of this beast.
"No, I must support such a novel. It is so written with great feeling. This sharp pen and that kind of light sense of pretense are simply better than those popular martial arts novels nowadays!"
Zhu Changhong talked to himself, as if he had forgotten Luoyang sitting next to him. He quickly opened the Qiandu search and entered the title of "The Sword of Immortality"...
"No?"
Zhu Changhong searched for a long time and found that there was no martial arts novel called "The Sword of Immortality" on the Internet.
"Luoyang... Luoyang, where did you find this novel? It is so good, why can't you find it on the Internet?" Zhu Changhong finally remembered that the owner of this computer was sitting next to him, and asked about the source of "The Sword of Immortality" as soon as he opened his mouth.
"I don't know where I found it." Luoyang lied with his eyes open: "I guess someone put it in my computer."
Zhu Changhong was stunned for a moment, as if he suddenly remembered something, and his whole body suddenly shook.
He stared at Luoyang with a suspicious look, and his voice was full of hesitation and disbelief: "No... No, this martial arts novel called "Eternal Sword"... Could it be written by you?"
Facing the latter's extremely eager eyes, Luoyang knew that he could not escape, and curled his lips and said: "Maybe."
"What do you mean by maybe, this book is really written by you!?"
Hearing Luoyang's personal admission, Zhu Changhong seemed extremely excited, and the whole person was dancing with joy: "Awesome, Luoyang. This novel is so cool! The lines in it have a special feeling! I like it so much!"
Gu Long's style is indeed regarded as a classic by many people.
"If you like it, you like it. What are you shouting about? You are so surprised." Luoyang said unhappily.
"I... I didn't expect you to write novels, and this short martial arts story is so good..." Zhu Changhong's voice weakened. Obviously, he began to realize that it was inappropriate for him to break into Luoyang's room rashly.
In this kind of apartment dormitory, everyone has their own independent bedroom, and generally they will not enter their roommates' bedrooms casually.
However, Luoyang didn't care too much. He was easy-going, so he just mentioned it a little and stopped. He pursed his lips angrily and said, "I plan to submit this novel."
"I see your folder is called "Seven Weapons". Is this "Eternal Sword" the first weapon?"
Hearing Luoyang talking about novels, Zhu Changhong's eyebrows danced again. This is definitely a heavy novel fan who reads e-books on his mobile phone every day.
"Probably, I plan to write a series, and each weapon has its own story."
"What about the other stories? Have you written them now? Can I take a look?" Zhu Changhong rubbed his hands and said calmly.
Luoyang shook his head and said, "I have only written one story, "The Immortal Sword". I will write other stories slowly. There is no rush."
"Then hurry up and write the next story. Hurry up. You are not in a hurry, but I can't wait." Zhu Changhong urged, as if he was a fan of the book.
Luoyang was furious. This guy started to urge him to update the story after writing "The Immortal Sword". If he told him that he was Bai Yi Qingcheng, the author of "Wushuang", would he kidnap him and ask him about the next plot?
No, this kind of unstable fan is too scary. Let him go quickly, otherwise it will be very dangerous.
"Go back to the dormitory first. I'm tired and ready to go to bed." Luoyang drove Zhu Changhong out without any room for negotiation.
Zhu Changhong, however, did not seem to be angry at all. He stood up obediently and walked outside, turning back every now and then to remind him: "Be sure to show me the rest of the story before you write it..."
"Get lost."
——————
After seeing Zhu Changhong off, Luoyang began to write the second story of "Seven Weapons" - "Peacock Feather".
"There are more than 360 kinds of hidden weapons in the world, but the most successful and terrifying one is the Peacock Feather.
From the outside, the Peacock Feather is a glittering cylinder made of pure gold with two hinges on it. When the hinges are pressed, the hidden weapons in the cylinder will fly out. It is said that when these hidden weapons are released, they are as beautiful as a peacock spreading its tail, brilliant and splendid. However, just when you are stunned by this amazing life, it has already taken your life..."
"Peacock Feather" is the same as "Eternal Sword", which deeply implements the style of Gu Long's works, but it is a completely different story from "Eternal Sword".
Time passed bit by bit.
In the room, the crackling sound of the keyboard was as beautiful as always.
It was not until nearly twelve o'clock in the night that Luoyang finally finished the story of "Peacock Feather".
After completing "Peacock Feather", Luoyang checked it again. After confirming that the two short stories in the same series were correct, Luoyang sorted them out and sent them to the online mailbox of "Xia Ke Magazine".
This mailbox was specially written down when he left "Xia Ke Magazine".
"Let's try the water with these two first..."
The words "Sent successfully" were displayed on the screen. Under the dim light of the screen, Luoyang's face was outlined with a deep shadow.
Speaking of which, this was his first time to publish a work in a physical magazine. In order not to cause trouble, he did not use the well-known online pen name Bai Yi Qingcheng, but directly used his real name - Luoyang.
