Forty Millenniums of Cultivation

Chapter 98: The old cow and the unicorn arm

Views:

It's about to go on sale.

I didn't expect to write testimonials again in this life, Lao Niu was a little confused.

Just imagine—ten years ago, when you were young, you were a good basketball player. You used to sweat profusely on the court on countless sunny mornings or evenings when dead leaves were falling. Cheers and praise.

Suddenly one day, you get injured, broken bones, broken legs, then you leave the court, take off your jersey, study hard, take exams hard, and then enter the society, wear a suit and tie, work hard, marry a wife and have children, not only If I don't play basketball, I don't even have time to watch the NBA for a long time. The unique rubber smell of basketball and the "squeak" sound of sneakers rubbing on the court are so far away that they seem to be things of a previous life.

Then, on this day, for no reason at all, and without knowing what happened, you suddenly appeared on the court with a bang, you were wearing a vest instead of a suit, and you were holding a computer instead of a basketball , and you're about to enter—the real game!

At that time, you must be as confused as the old cow at the moment.

Because, although the court is still the same court, the rebounds are still the same rebounds, and the basketball is still the same basketball.

But the players have changed, the cheering players have changed, the tactics have changed, and even the rules have changed. Now basketball can be played with feet!

This is what Lao Niu, a "newcomer", discovered when he came to the present starting point.

It's like a trilobite from the Cambrian emerged from the deep sea, only to find itself transformed into a completely new species that was completely unsuited to the environment.

Not only writing techniques, narrative style, story rhythm...these things all have brand-new ways of playing, and there are also things like "three golden chapters", "short-term goals, medium-term goals and long-term goals" that sound very high-end and high-grade. .

How to slap the face, how to control the rhythm, brand-new pretense skills... everything has to be learned from scratch.

Even his name is completely different from a few years ago.

Especially when Lao Niu clicked on his favorite sci-fi section and found that readers love to watch "Jianniang, Meiman, Marvel, Xingyue", it even produced a kind of "Damn, what is this? I rely , What is this?" Such a deep sense of disconnection.

So when I first thought of the idea of "Forty Thousand Years of Cultivation", Lao Niu actually rejected it.

Future cultivation, or sci-fi cultivation, is not a new idea.

From Huang Yi's "Interstellar Prodigal Son" to Mo Yan's "Star Wars Heroes" series to Dianxuan's "The Story of the Gods", many senior masters have long tried to open up this field, even more so than "Misty Journey". Classical comprehension" is much earlier.

But today, from "Piao Miao" to "Mortal" to so many excellent works, the classical comprehension is flourishing, and the future comprehension is still... a piece of trash!

This shows that future cultivation must have great flaws, or it is extremely difficult to write, or it is extremely difficult to be welcomed by the market.

And the greater possibility is that the above three exist at the same time.

No one wrote it, it's not that other writers were so stupid that they didn't discover such a "creative" subject matter but only Lao Niu discovered it.

No one wrote it because all the writers had discovered such a "creative" subject, but after careful consideration, everyone felt that this subject was too difficult and uninspiring, so they all gave up.

Other writers are so smart, Lao Niu is not stupid.

After thinking about it carefully, Lao Niu decided to give up, just change the subject matter, write something about the return of the bloody soldier king to the city, or watch a few more episodes of "Iron Man" and "Spider-Man" and then write some beautiful comics. Wouldn't it be easy? ,Very happy

However-

When Lao Niu found himself sitting in front of the computer somehow, opened the document somehow, and typed out the words "40,000 years of cultivation, Rust Lake, Federation of Stars...", Lao Niu knew, Ruined.

Lao Niu's unicorn arm broke out again.

The unicorn arm attack is a very painful thing, and it will enter into a kind of "even if you know that you can't make money, you still have to write, even if you know that you are not popular with readers, you still have to write, even if you know that cultivation and technology are extremely difficult to integrate, you still have to write, even if you want to Write down time, energy, and body, even if your lumbar muscles are strained, your fingers are worn out, and hemorrhoids attack, you still have to write, just keep writing, writing, writing, writing, writing, writing, writing, writing.

The unicorn arm is a writer's terminal illness, once it occurs, there is no cure.

Then there is no other way but to keep writing.

For Lao Niu, writing itself is not difficult. Although it is tiring, it is very refreshing.

What is difficult is the reader's reaction after putting it on the Internet.

To be honest, Lao Niu had no confidence at the time.

Because the theme itself is a bit biased, Lao Niu's writing style is also a bit old-fashioned, and the rhythm still stays in the era when a villain could step on 200,000 characters a few years ago.

Instead of killing eight villains in three chapters like the current new generation, you can still seduce two beauties so refreshingly.

Besides, the theme of Lao Niu is also very old-fashioned "blood, fighting, friendship, and protection"-it sounds weak.

So Lao Niu is really worried—such a thing, such a style, such a theme, will anyone read it

Although it is said that once the unicorn arm breaks out, even if no one is watching, it will continue to write, but...

This fucker is completely pretending to be an old cow! Which writer would really want the things he wrote so hard to be read by no one! This is all a scene!

Fortunately, with the support of all friends, the data of "Forty Thousand Years of Comprehension" has greatly exceeded Lao Niu's psychological expectations before it was put on the shelves.

What makes Lao Niu most happy is not the data itself, but Lao Niu suddenly realized something through the data.

Some things go out of style and some things never do.

The theme will become obsolete, the creativity will become obsolete, the writing style will become obsolete, the routine will become obsolete, the way of slapping faces will become obsolete, and cheats will become obsolete.

But blood will never go out of style, friendship will never go out of style, persistence will never go out of style, and neither will dreams.

As long as the writing is about passion, friendship, fighting, persistence, protection, and dreams... there will always be people who love to read it, and people will always be moved.

very good.

Because the old cow can only write, and only willing to write these things.

Dreams, friendship, passion, hard work, and victory after fighting with all your strength... Lao Niu can only write these old-fashioned but timeless things.

After "Forty Thousand Years of Comprehension" is released, it will continue to tell stories about persistence and giving up, dreams and reality, protection and destruction, friendship and powerful enemies...

Finally, I would like to thank the editor-in-chief Winnie and editor-in-chief Hu Hua for giving Lao Niu this opportunity.

I also thank all the friends who have been supporting this book. In the past one and a half months, every click, every recommendation ticket, every reward and every comment of everyone seems to have brought Lao Niu back to his youth. In the golden years of keyboarding, I am ashamed that Lao Niu can't spare more time to interact with everyone because of his lack of energy. I am really sorry.

Of course, I would like to thank the friends who are willing to support, subscribe, reward, and vote monthly after "Forty Thousand Years of Comprehension" is released.

Although begging for subscriptions and monthly tickets is a bit vulgar, as Lao Niu himself, he doesn't want to write things entirely for commercial purposes.

But after all, it is not the time when one person is full and the whole family is not hungry.

Behind Lao Niu, there is still a large family to guard, and there are also responsibilities of wives, children, and children.

Because the code words take up too much time and energy, and the care of his wife and children is not enough, Lao Niu feels very guilty.

If you can get more support from everyone, so that Lao Niu can provide more material protection for his family, then Lao Niu will be more calm and stable in writing.

In short, the support of all friends determines the future of "Forty Thousand Years of Cultivation". From this moment on, let's pursue our dreams together and gallop across the stars!

Let's talk about this first, the whistle sounded, the game started, and the old cow was about to play his life.

Whether you win or lose, no matter what, Lao Niu will keep writing.
