Back to 1997, I became the originator of online literature
Chapter 114: The Ancient God Dies Early, and the Teacher Begins to Create
Chapter 114: The Ancient God Dies Early, and the Teacher Begins to Create
Cao Sheng didn’t stay there for long. After a moment, he walked up to Ren Xueyi.
Ren Xueyi heard his footsteps and turned to look. Seeing that it was him, she smiled and immediately stood up and trotted over, saying happily, “You’re here? I knew you would come.”
Cao Sheng stopped about two meters away from her.
“It’s not safe for you to be here alone at this late hour.”
He said in a calm tone.
Ren Xueyi chuckled, “So, I knew you would come! As a grown man, you would definitely not trust a girl like me to wait for you here in the middle of the night, right?”
Cao Sheng shook his head slightly, “If you’re like this, I’m even less likely to agree to date you.”
Ren Xueyi tilted her head slightly, her eyes puzzled, “Why?”
Cao Sheng gathered the collar of his coat and said, “Because of trouble. If you can play tricks on me like this just because of a date, you will definitely play tricks on me again for other things in the future. I don’t like these troubles.”
Ren Xueyi was stunned.
Then, he said hastily, “Then I won’t do this anymore, is that okay?”
Cao Sheng looked at her.
Ren Xueyi looked a little nervous, staring at Cao Sheng without blinking, waiting for his answer.
Cao Sheng still shook his head.
Although Ren Xueyi is not tall, she is very beautiful, with big eyes and fair skin, which few girls can compare to.
But he always felt that she was not right for him.
She is too bold and too aggressive.
The first time they met, she asked him to sign her arm, the second time they met, she confessed her love to him, and today, she directly rubbed his leg.
Although he felt a little comfortable, he was still rational and his reason told him that if he dated Ren Xueyi, her lively personality would make his life a mess.
It will definitely affect his writing.
He can accept that his partner does not help his career.
But he couldn’t accept that his partner kept holding him back while he was pursuing his career.
In other words, he would not consider any woman who would obviously affect the speed at which he draws his sword.
Ren Xueyi shook her head at him, her brows knitted together, her fair face looked a little irritated, and she waved her right hand suddenly, “Why are you so difficult to deal with? I’ve already told you that I won’t be like this anymore, and you’re still shaking your head? You, you’re just relying on the fact that I like you! You’re just a little handsome, a little talented, a little rich, and a little famous! You, you… I’ve been chasing you so hard, and you don’t even give me a chance? What do you want from me?”
Cao Sheng looked at her.
Just watch coldly.
Only after seeing Ren Xueyi calm down little by little under his gaze did he say, “Ren Xueyi, you may have gotten whatever you wanted since you were a child, so you are probably not used to being rejected by me. I am different! Whenever I wanted something since I was a child, my parents would usually tell me that it was useless and not fun at all, and told me not to think about it, and then they would forcefully drag me away. No matter how much I cried, it was useless.”
Ren Xueyi looked at him in surprise.
Asked blankly: “Why are you telling me this?”
Cao Sheng smiled and said, “I just want to tell you that my family is very poor. We grew up in completely different environments. We are not from the same world, so don’t force yourself to be together.”
Ren Xueyi frowned, “I really like you!”
Cao Sheng no longer had the patience to continue talking to her.
He came here tonight only out of his conscience.
I was afraid that she would encounter some danger if she waited here alone until 12 o’clock in the middle of the night.
But he was not hers after all.
It’s already a great honor for me to come here.
“Go back! Don’t ask me out again. I won’t come over next time. Bye!”
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Ren Xueyi shouted from behind: “Cao Sheng! Cao Sheng, stop! I haven’t finished talking yet! You can’t leave! So what if we grew up in different environments? I, I can adapt to your world…”
Cao Sheng didn’t look back.
Ren Xueyi chased him for a few steps, but when she saw that he didn’t even turn his head back, she stopped in disappointment.
……
What Cao Sheng didn’t know was that just when he rejected Ren Xueyi, in a dormitory of a university in China, a boy who was called an ancient god in the original time and space was lying on the bed reading his “I Want to Become an Immortal”. This book “I Want to Become an Immortal” seemed to have been read by many people. The pages were loose and the paper was a little yellow. It should have been rented from a rental bookstore.
In the original time and space, his pen name was Lao Zhu.
The most famous work should be “Zichuan”.
This book is a work that has been listed in a certain recommended position for a long time along with “Profanation” since the establishment of Qidian.com.
Online literature enthusiasts who have experienced that era, whether authors or readers, should know the title of this book.
At this time, Lao Zhu was completely immersed in the world of the book.
Staring at the words in the book without blinking.
As I was reading, I came to the last page.
When he finished reading the last page and saw the words (to be continued), he put down the book with a sense of loss.
Then he stared at the ceiling in a trance.
He used to like reading classics, martial arts novels, and Huang Yi’s fantasy novels.
He originally thought that the background setting of Huang Yi’s fantasy was already grand, and the magical skills in the book were already amazing enough, but he didn’t expect that such a world background and martial arts setting would pale in comparison to “I Want to Become an Immortal”.
I Want to Become an Immortal…
In that grand world of immortals and heroes, masters can easily live for thousands of years, flying swords can take people’s heads from thousands of miles away, the soul can leave the body in a bizarre way, and all kinds of incredible spells and magical powers…
It completely opened up his imagination about the world of immortals and heroes.
After being absent-minded for a while, he suddenly asked, “Lao Liu! You said this book is the last one in the bookstore? There are no more after it?”
A boy from the lower bunk replied, “Yeah! I heard the book isn’t finished yet. The author seems to be serializing it online. There are only a few copies available at the rental bookstore. This is the last one. If you want to read the rest, you can look for it online!”
Lao Zhu said, “Looking for it online?”
He has been in a relationship recently and has been overspending a bit. Internet cafes are so expensive, how can he afford to go to the Internet cafe to read novels?
After thinking for a while, he suddenly had an idea.
——Since I can’t read the rest of the book for now, why don’t I write one myself? This book “I Want to Become an Immortal” is written entirely in vernacular Chinese, and the writing style is just so-so. I should be able to write it too…
But what story to write?
Having just finished watching “I Want to Become an Immortal”, the first thing he thought of was cultivation.
After lying in bed and thinking for a while, he suddenly got up and put on his clothes.
After a while, he got off the bed, went to his desk, found a stack of draft paper and a ballpoint pen, and wrote two words on the draft paper: “Xianjian”
Then start writing an outline.
He had never written a novel, but he knew that when writing something long, one must make an outline, otherwise it would be difficult to write something long.
Time passed quietly.
One of his roommates came over and wanted to see what he was writing.
He quickly put his hand up to cover the words on the paper, his face turning a little red.
He was afraid that his roommates would see him writing a novel and laugh at him.
“Huh? Are you still blocking me from seeing it? Are you writing a love letter again?”
The roommate laughed and joked.
The old pig blushed and asked, “Why? It’s not possible?”
Roommate: “Don’t you have a girlfriend? Why are you writing love letters?”
Old Pig: “No?”
He waited until his roommate left before continuing to write the outline while thinking.
……
Xue Ping is a middle school Chinese teacher who is not satisfied with his work.
He has a good foundation in Chinese. He has read a lot of books since he was a child under the influence of his grandfather, and his grades were also very good when he was a student.
But under the influence of his grandfather, he chose to study education in college.
After graduation, I came to teach at the middle school where my grandfather used to teach.
There is nothing wrong with his cultural level.
But although he likes reading, he is very introverted and his voice is not loud. During class, students often complain that his voice is too soft and they can’t hear what he is saying.
He tried to raise his voice, but when he did, his voice became shrill and thin. Not only did his throat often become inflamed and hoarse, but his students also privately nicknamed him “eunuch.”
So, he doesn’t like his current job.
The school leaders’ attitude toward him was okay, but he was never included in matters such as professional title evaluation and promotion.
He thought about resigning.
But my parents and wife were very opposed.
His son didn’t object, but with only a 3-year-old son, he felt the responsibility of supporting the family on his shoulders. Plus, knowing his personality, he wasn’t sure he could make a name for himself outside.
I have been staying in this school, going to and from class day after day. Often when I was about to walk into the classroom, I heard students in the classroom reminding other students that “the eunuch is coming…”
He felt very depressed living like this.
It was not until he saw the quarrel between Zhongyuan Yidianhui and Gongyang Buyu, Huang Shuren, Wang Gonghe and others in the school newspaper.
He suddenly became interested in Zhongyuan Yidianhui, who was extremely brave and had strong fighting ability.
Then I became interested in the works of Zhongyuan Yidianhui.
So, one Saturday, he went to the county town, came to Xinhua Bookstore, and specifically found two works by Cao Sheng.
——”Living with the Air Hostess” and “I Want to Become an Immortal”.
Then he discovered something embarrassing.
That is, he could afford to buy only one copy of “Living with the Air Hostess” and one copy of “I Want to Become an Immortal”, but if he added a few more copies, he would not have enough money on him.
The newspaper didn’t say that there were many copies of “I Want to Become an Immortal”.
Finally, he decided to give the two books a try.
He opened “Living with the Air Hostess”, read it for a while, then closed the book and opened “I Want to Become an Immortal”.
Because he is not very interested in romance novels.
But after opening “I Want to Become an Immortal”, I was quickly attracted by the content of the book and quickly immersed in it.
It wasn’t until someone passed by him and accidentally bumped into him that he came to his senses.
At this time, he had already read more than thirty pages of the first volume “I Want to Become an Immortal”.
When he left the bookstore, he had two more copies of “I Want to Become an Immortal” in his hands.
A few days later, he finished reading these two volumes and bought the later volumes. After finishing the later volumes, he could not see the subsequent content for the time being, so he began to try to write a fairy tale and cultivation work in his spare time.
Title: The Reincarnation of the Emperor of Heaven
Pen name: Teacher.
……
Cao Sheng didn’t know that under the influence of his work, the ancient god Lao Zhu from the original time and space had already begun to try to create, and this time it was not “Zichuan”, but a “Xianjian” that had never appeared before.
Cao Sheng also didn’t know how many people like Xue Ping, who had a solid foundation in writing, had read many books, and had never left a name in the online writing circle in his original time and space, had already started trying to create?
But he had long known that his early opening of the online literature era and his early introduction of the theme of immortal heroes and cultivation would definitely cause a butterfly effect and would definitely affect the life trajectories of many people.
