Fist of Imagination
Chapter 111 The Call of Literature
One is a junior editor in the proofreading department of Yingxuetang Bookstore, with a monthly salary of 3.5K including meal allowance, actual reimbursement of cross-border communication expenses incurred for official business, a big and small week work system, and 5 days of paid annual leave each year.
The main business trip opportunity for this job is to confirm the facts of the original manuscript.
Yingxuetang Bookstore is a cross-border publishing house with a very long history. It has been famous for its high sense of social responsibility on both sides of the Jieyuankonghai for many years.
In order to avoid the situation where the content of the book misleads readers, Yingxuetang Bookstore will confirm all non-fiction facts in the manuscript before the new book is published.
Once the manuscript of a new book contains non-fiction information that is not approved and included in "The Mirror of Humanity", the proofreading department of Yingxuetang Bookstore will send editors to different worlds to confirm the facts.
For example, how many eyes does the Horse King have and where are they located, can a rapper of Cerberus descent participate in the Huangquan Hip-Hop hosted by Tongue-Pulling Hell, will the bionic pig-headed boy really dream of a mechanical bunny girl senior, is there meat floss in the meat floss pancake, is there a shady plot to give priority to Sakurajima Boys High School students in the selection of the otherworldly heroes, etc.
However, this job has high requirements for the mental resistance of the applicant.
Because there are many evil gods and monsters among the writers who have signed contracts with Yingxuetang Bookstore, some of the manuscripts submitted to the proofreading department for review are full of indescribable chaotic knowledge, and just reading them will cause irreparable damage to people.
Therefore, the proofreading department of Yingxuetang Bookstore requires applicants to recite one of the following articles from "Book of the Dead", "Xuanjun Seven Chapters Secret Scripture", "Nameless Sacrifice Book" and "Secret of the Worm" on the spot during the interview. Only those who keep a stable SAN value during the recitation can enter the second interview.
Liang De really has no confidence in the mental resistance of his miscellaneous Yuanshen, so he puts the option of Yingxuetang proofreading editor last.
The second option is the salesperson of the Far East Dimension Witch Department Store.
The monthly salary is 1.5K, and the commission is 10% based on the monthly sales, and there is no holiday all year round.
The company does not reimburse any expenses, but suppliers sometimes provide some allowances and subsidies to salespeople. The comprehensive salary of Baijie salespeople is generally around 7K.
That is, the more you do, the more you get, and the less you do, the less you get. It all depends on your ability. You can only work if you don’t have to sleep.
For young people like Liang De who have nothing and don’t need to sleep, it is a good job.
However, because the spirit of the world No. 404 of the Blue Star System has entered the millennium active period, the overall economy on both sides of the Jieyuan Konghai is currently declining, and the investment of extraordinary biological groups tends to be conservative and prudent.
The Far East Dimension Witch Department Store mainly sells various products that realize strange wishes, and almost no after-sales service is provided. The positive and negative reviews over the years are very extreme. In such an environment, the annual sales and profit margins are declining.
Coupled with the influence of overly cautious popular culture, the Far East Dimension Witch Department Store’s financial report last year was not good, and this year’s stock price has been hit by the limit for several consecutive times.
Although Liang De was also a warrior in a sunset industry in his previous life, if he had a choice, he would not really want to go to such a traditional enterprise with a fading atmosphere.
Currently, Liang De's favorite position is to be a courier at Zhongzheng Express in the sky.
The basic salary is 2K, free four-season work clothes and low-rent cross-border tricycles are provided. Couriers can get 1.5 crystal clusters for each ticket they receive in the other shore near the sea world.
In addition, couriers can get a certain commission based on the collection freight and the delivery weight. For example, when the delivery weight exceeds 10 tons, the courier can get a commission of 0.35 crystal clusters for every ton exceeding 1 ton. The monthly comprehensive salary is about 5K.
The most important thing is the low mortality rate. Zhongzheng Express is famous for its quick retreat and quick turn. The number of employees who die accidentally each year is very small, which is very safe.
The disadvantage of this job is that the courier route is relatively stable, basically it is just spinning around in several prosperous worlds near the other shore. After being promoted to a management position, the opportunity for cross-border business trips becomes less, which conflicts with Liang De's plan to return to his hometown.
Liang De lit a cigarette and leaned against the window of the bus, thinking for a long time, but still had no idea.
How about finding a company to intern first?
But every mature company will exploit interns. My entire net worth is less than 200 yuan, so it is not suitable for me to be exploited.
Very annoying.
But fortunately, there are people who are more annoying than me.
Liang De glanced at the eel-headed anonymous person not far away.
Since this guy was forced by Brother Mo Feisheng to bind the cross-border communication exclusive package, he stared at the deduction record on his mobile phone every day, his two fish eyes were red, he muttered something, and walked staggeringly, basically useless.
Another "-5 crystal cluster" deduction message was sent to the anonymous person's mobile phone. This eel-headed person was like a camel with the last straw, and he slid to the ground under the heavy burden, and made a desperate sound:
"When will this day end..."
Liang De smoked a cigarette and looked at the fish, and suddenly remembered a short poem from Tianzhu.
"The feeling of nameless days, climbing on my heart, just like the green moss, climbing around the old tree."
Someone also read a short Indian poem next to him:
"The worries in my heart calm down, just like the dusk falls on the quiet mountain forest."
Liang De turned his head away in surprise, and found that Tai Fengxian was holding a glass of Dry Martini, looking out the window with a melancholy face.
"Teacher Fengxian, do you also like Rabindranath's poems?"
"I can't say I like Rabindranath. I have more of a mutual appreciation for Rabindranath among literary men.
I don't like his style, but when I see his poems and find that he is not inferior to me, I will understand that I am not a lonely singer.
You ordinary people read the classics to improve yourself, but writers like me read them just to listen to the songs of the same kind to relieve the loneliness in my heart. "
"Are you a writer?" Liang De almost thought he had heard it wrong.
"A great writer. In short, I am the literary giant in the mouths of you ordinary people.
Didn't I tell you that the evil god of the sky is just my side job, and my main job is a literary worker.
When I was young, I formed a band with my friends. Later, the band disbanded for various reasons, so I decided to sing with the sound of the friction between the tip of the pen and the world. "
Liang De looked at Tai Fengxian's gleaming bald head and believed his words a little.
After all, literary masters generally don't have much hair. Shakespeare, Goethe, Flaubert, Zola, Dickens and others are all bald. This may be the fate of writers.
It's too miserable. The price a man has to pay to become a writer is too painful.
Literature is like a ruthless razor. The more serious the literature, the more bald it makes people.
Young people in their twenties who have accomplished nothing usually imagine themselves as writers. They don't know that in the future, only their hairline will become more and more like writers.
Liang De looked at Tai Fengxian's bald head and decided that he would never have anything to do with literature in the future. At this time, he heard Tai Fengxian say to him very solemnly:
"Mr. Liang, if you haven't found a satisfactory job yet, are you interested in becoming a literary worker here? ”
1. Thank you for the 10,000 rewards from Ye Du Qing Han, and thank you for the rewards from ZioA, Book Friend 20191025060331895, Book Friend 20191108082540772, Eliminate the Enemy, Lies Won't Lie, and Xiao Tuo Zhi-M. I cried until my tears soaked through the quilt.
2. As of the update of this chapter, my work "Fist of Imagination" ranked 4th on the original new book list of the light novel channel, and ranked 398th in the weekly recommendation of the entire site. It broke into the top 400 in one day. This serious literature is so terrifying! 3. I believe that the reason why everyone voted for "Fist of Imagination" must have been after careful consideration, and finally decided to entrust the sacred mission of reviving serious literature to me. I will definitely stick to the dream of serious literature and become the most serious literary worker in the world. 3. Thank you all.
