Chapter 96 Double Negation Expresses Affirmation

August 5, sunny.

Avoid exercise, read books.

Liu Yishou, the physical education teacher, has a sworn brother named She Yiqiang.

The two are childhood friends and have a common hobby - reading novels, which has lasted for many years.

When they first started reading novels, immortal cultivation and fantasy novels were popular.

Both are high-level VIP users of Qidian.

But now they are both in their forties, each has their own life to take care of, and rarely meet each other. They only recommend good books to each other occasionally.

Lao Liu is famous for his poor physique in school.

Today, he just did a set of Thomas turns on the parallel bars, and the math teacher told him that he was sick today.

He had no choice but to go back to the office.

"Hey~ Students can't always not exercise. Morality, intelligence, physical fitness and beauty, physical fitness is the foundation of everything. Without a good body, learning efficiency is low, and even if you have money in the future, you can't enjoy it even if you find a female model as your girlfriend."

For example, a well-known screenwriter married a female model 20 years younger than him, and the media broke the news that she was suspected of having a history of premature ejaculation.

"Hey~ Why should I, a physical education teacher, worry about this? The school has achieved good results, everyone is well treated, and there are many benefits."

"As long as there is such a thing as the enrollment rate, my physical education teacher's health will not be good."

When I arrived at the office, I made myself a cup of chrysanthemum and wolfberry water.

It nourishes and reduces internal heat at the same time.

It is equal to a cup of boiled water after neutralization.

He skillfully opened the Qidian Chinese website on the computer. On the simple layout, a dazzling array of novels were waiting for his favor.

In this era dominated by mobile Internet, Lao Liu is one of the few old readers who still insist on using the web version of Qidian Chinese website.

Those who still use the web version to read books are old readers for at least 5 years.

Lao Liu is even earlier, he is a hardcore reader for 15 years.

Of course, when there is no computer around him, he also uses the mobile version of Qidian to read books and uses it flexibly.

"The two hot books I have been chasing recently, "The Countryside Rogue Divine Doctor" has been completed, and "The Most Stable Way to Stay at Home in the End of the World" will also be completed soon. I will be out of books again~~"

The daily book shortage of old bookworms

"Let me see what popular books have been published on Qidian recently."

He usually only looks for books on the homepage of Qidian Chinese website, because he doesn't pick categories when reading books, as long as they are good.

Martial arts, suspense, urban, science fiction, fantasy, cultivation, military.

No taboos, just read what suits your taste.

As a hardcore bookworm who has been immersed in it for many years, he knows that the fine books of Qidian are basically on the homepage.

This is the facade of Qidian, which will display the best batch of books on the website.

The most promising new books, the best-selling old books, the most popular books by readers, the newly emerging books, and the new works of well-known authors

are presented in the form of Sanjiang, strong push, big push and various lists.

Among them, the big push is located in the center of the website!

There are very large pictures and book titles, which are the most conspicuous places on the entire homepage and keep scrolling.

Everyone can't help but look at it.

Whether you want to see it or not, you can see it.

Very magical design.

Old Liu was the first to see a new book published today.

On the picture: a heroic young man, holding a star in his hand, standing in a fairy-like world.

There are four large ink characters on it: Star Legend.

There is also a line of small characters next to it: Pu Dingle·Written.

"What a spiritual cover, it has a taste!"

Lao Liu gave a thumbs up to the artist who made the cover of the big cover. It can be seen that he made it with care, not an assembly line product.

"The editor of this author must be very concerned about his book. This cover must cost 100 yuan."

As an old reader, he has a very detailed observation of Qidian. The cover pictures of many big cover books have nothing to do with the content. Basically, they are just a combination of several elements and the title of the book.

This book is different. The picture and the title are very compatible.

"Oh, it's Pu Dingle's work! That makes sense. I heard that the copyright of his last book has been sold. It must be the treatment of a great author."

He just finished reading Pu Dingle's "Rural Rogue Divine Doctor" last month. He still has some impression of this author with a unique writing style. From the comments and chapter reviews, he knows that this author's books seem to have good sales in other channels, and the copyright of film and television dramas has been sold.

In his impression as a reader, those who can sell copyrights are all great authors.

Naturally, he clicked in.

Read the introduction at first glance.

[A waste with no talent for cultivation, an ultimate dog-licking love that cannot be obtained, and a big family that jumps back and forth between genocide and revitalization from beginning to end. (PS: This book is a brainless and refreshing article, readers with brains should be careful)]

Old Liu: "."

"It's a bit weird, read it again."

Old Liu, who read it three times: (￣m￣)

He showed it to the Chinese teacher next to him who did the best reading comprehension.

"Teacher Wang, please take a look. The author's last sentence seems to be scolding the readers of his book for being brainless?"

Teacher Wang is a young woman in her 30s, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, gentle and kind.

The good man in the office.

Old Liu doesn't know why, but most of the Chinese teachers in the school have the best temper.

After reading for a while, Teacher Wang showed a confident smile at the corner of her mouth.

She poked her gold-rimmed glasses with her tender white jade fingers.

"Teacher Liu, you only know one thing, but not the other. The last sentence of this author's introduction seems to be belittling himself and the readers, but it is actually a veiled praise."

"The first sentence belittles his own book as brainless, and the second sentence belittles the readers' IQ. It seems uncomfortable, but when put together, the meaning changes."

"Teacher Liu, think carefully, will there be an author who deliberately disgusts readers in the introduction?"

Old Liu thought about his reading history over the years. Except for some newcomers with a little brain disease, who wrote nonsense and disgusted people when writing introductions, as long as they are normal authors, they will not deliberately disgust readers.

Pu Dingle is obviously not a newcomer who knows nothing. He is a big man who sells copyrights!

"I wouldn't do this if I hadn't seen Pu Dingle."

Teacher Wang looked at Lao Liu approvingly, as if he was explaining a reading comprehension question to his students.

"Hey~ Starting from this premise, let's analyze what the author Pu Ding really meant. You should know that there is a sentence pattern in Chinese called. Double negation expresses affirmation, right?"

"Ah, right, right!" Lao Liu's eyes lit up, as if he was about to solve this puzzle.

"So, he used a simple trick to play a joke on all readers. Most people only see the first level, seeing mountains as mountains and water as water, and will think that he is belittling his own book and mocking readers, but when you reach the second level, seeing mountains as not mountains and water as not water, everything will become clear!"

"Brainless people can only see the first level of meaning, and what he wants to express is exactly the opposite. Double negation represents affirmation, and negative negatives equal positives. The real meaning of this sentence is: This book is a cool article with brains, brainless readers should be careful!"

Old Liu opened his eyes wide and opened his mouth, and it was like a meteor passing through his mind.

"So that's it!"

After the Chinese teacher's teaching, Old Liu really understood part of the true meaning of this introduction.

As for the first three sentences, although he still had some doubts, he didn't dare to doubt Pu Ding as the author easily at this time.

He wanted to find the answer in the text and understand it himself!

There will be more later.
