What should I do if the system forces me to copy books?

There is no one who can fight!

Li Chungang shook his head and said: "I'm not a god, there are so many things I don't know, and besides, this random graffiti is completely different from character sketches, and it hasn't reached that level yet."

While talking, he posted the temporary graffiti map he took with his mobile phone on Weibo, without saying anything, just a lonely picture.

Anyway, there is no marking on it, just simple mountains, plains, forests, rivers, and national boundaries, etc. If you can understand it, then there is a ghost!

This is Li Chungang's evil taste. When he was waiting for the hot-boiled mutton to be served, he also wanted to see how readers were waiting for the new book.

So after posting this picture, I refreshed the comment area to see what kind of reaction my readers would have.

[Who can tell me what the old thief Chungang is painting?Let's talk about it with a big guy with a perfect score in geography! 】

【Which place is this?The west seems to be a sea or a lake, and there are several large mountains. 】

[If you have the ability to draw a map, if you have the ability, you can draw the latitude and longitude lines! 】

[Don't talk about it, I guess this may be the map of Li Chungang's new book, if not, I ate this order paper! 】

[Upstairs thought beautifully, this order paper is mine! 】

[What does the light hair picture mean, there must be an explanation!The world is so big, where can I find this place. 】

[Unable to guess, Song Yi's husband admits defeat. 】

[I, known as the "walking living map", come to challenge! 】

[Do you dare to report your location, I will personally deliver the paper and pen to your door. 】

These readers really can't understand it with a simple map, but most people think that it is no accident that this is the whole picture of the map in Li Chungang's new book.

In fact, there are still quite a few readers who are knowledgeable and involved in a wide range of areas and see a lot of useful content from this, but it may be because of the existence of the smoke bomb of "Lord of the Mysteries" that these people chose the wrong direction from the beginning .

What's more, the map on this ordering paper was written on a temporary basis, and there was no correction tool such as an eraser at hand. Some of the content was drawn in front of me, and then I suddenly modified it on the original basis after thinking about it. Therefore, the content in some places is overlapping and confusing.

Therefore, it is serious to not understand.

The place where some key content can be seen is the general outline of the entire map. Because Hu Xiling saw Li Chungang borrowing books related to Nordic mythology in the library in the afternoon, he can guess two or three points by following the clues. There is no such prerequisite.

Although Li Chungang revealed the specific title and cover of the new book at his company's annual meeting, readers and friends still don't know the specific genre of the novel. If you guess from the title alone, it seems to be fantasy, fairy tale, urban, suspenseful, etc. And so on, classified channels can be justified.

Some of the readers even took a detailed world map for comparison, and some simply scanned and copied the outline with computer software and used Google Maps for quick matching.

But in the end, even the powerful Google Maps couldn't find a similar place!

A mere map that looked more like a random graffiti made the hearts of Li Chungang's readers and fans, who had gradually calmed down because there was no news of a new book for a period of time, feel itchy again, and even couldn't help being impatient and swearing.

Numerous popular science bloggers on Weibo have been circled by readers in the comment section, and they are the authority in this regard.

However, even these knowledgeable people cannot draw conclusions at first glance!

The official certification number of the most professional naturalist magazine in China did not appear, but its editor Tangdou Xiaobao made a simple comment on his personal account: "From the overall outline, it is a bit like Western Europe, but the flow of the river is the same as that of Western Europe. The tributaries are not consistent, and the direction of those mountains can't be found. If I guessed correctly, this should be a place constructed by Li Chungang. From the perspective of geographical knowledge, such a layout is very important for a complete world. It's quite reasonable."

No matter whether it is a science expert, Google Maps or even a professional geography researcher, they can't find things that match Li Chungang's paintings in real life, and most of them are specious things.

Obviously, "this cannot be the product of Li Chungang's random graffiti" is recognized.

Then there is only one reasonable explanation, and that is the complete world map set by the great god Zhichun Zhigang for the new book.

The land of Huaguo is facing the sea in the east, but the order paper is facing the sea in the west, so readers are keenly aware that maybe this is not a story that happened in China!

If it is necessary to rebuild a brand new world from scratch, then the possibility that this new book will be urban is completely zero, and at the same time the possibility of fantasy and fairy tales has greatly increased.

—

The taste of the newly opened copper stove mutton is really good, and the portion of the mutton cut out is also real, it is not in vain that Li Chungang and the others waited for so long.

After filling the Wu Zang Temple, the few of them separated at the school gate.

Hu Xiling then had to attend a small meeting of the student union cadres, Cheng Tao also had his own personal appointment, and the rest of the people chose to go back to the dormitory, but Li Chungang chose to go directly to the parking lot and drive home.

When the lights are on, the whole city looks brightly lit, and a person is insignificant in this big city.

But Li Chungang is not alone, one thing he has surpassed at least 60% of young people, because those young people are still single!

When I went back to the villa, I found that He Miao hadn't come home yet. When I asked, it turned out that she was still doing nail care with Liu E.As for your curiosity about how He Miao and Liu E got together all of a sudden, don't ask, Li Chungang himself is still curious about this question.

The two met for the first time at the annual meeting. A few days later, her "Global Recovery" received a golden alliance from Liu E. After that, the two began to "communicate". I don't know how to become a good sister, and it was already like this when Li Chungang found out.

As for He Miao's ability to make new friends in Yanjing, Li Chungang is 100 million willing, provided that this friend can't be the kind of pig friend who doesn't get along with each other, there are as many people like Liu E That's right.

What's more, he was quite familiar with Liu E, so he wouldn't be too worried when they went out together.

"My wife is not at home, what should I do alone?"

Of course, it is time to review the book "The Lord of the Rings" from beginning to end. Li Chungang has no plans to write the second volume yet. After all, he has to wait for a formal cooperation with Random House to publish the first volume. After overseas, see how readers respond.

The main thing is-

If he wants to create various language systems between different races in the book, then he, the pseudo-founder, must be able to use these languages ​​fluently for dialogue, and at the very least he must be able to explain the meaning of these unique languages.

Otherwise, this loophole would be too big!

"System, which books are related to the creation of the book "Lord of the Rings", unlock them all for me."

【Condition search......】

[Unlocking...]

[Unlocking is complete! 】

Now that he has made up his mind to make up for the knowledge about the creation process of the book "The Lord of the Rings", Li Chungang will not bother about it, and even say that he feels sorry for the little money.Perhaps in another plane, the original author referred to many books that are not available in this world when writing this book, but don't forget that he is a man who is cheating, and these are just minor problems.

In addition to the original work written by Tolkien himself, "The History of Middle-earth" written by his son Christopher is also one of the important documents for studying and understanding "The Lord of the Rings".

The book "History of Middle-earth" is very detailed. From a small piece of text, it can evolve into many rewritten paragraphs. This is also Tolkien's journey when he created Middle-earth.

From these repeatedly rewritten paragraphs and sentences, Li Chungang can get closer to Tolkien's mentality when he created, and continue the same style!

This is like a math problem. "The Lord of the Rings" is the final answer to a difficult math problem in the college entrance examination. Before that, Li Chungang took a shortcut to know the answer.But now I find that it is useless to just know the answer, what really matters is the problem-solving steps and problem-solving ideas.

And those fragments that have been revised and reinterpreted repeatedly are steps, and they are Li Chungang's shortcut to Middle-earth!

In the spacious and bright study room, the computer monitor screen in front of Li Chungang was on, but he closed his eyes tightly, as if falling into a deep sleep.

In fact, he put all his attention in the "immersive" function of the system. He just unlocked four or five books related to the creation of "Lord of the Rings" in one breath, and now he is in the stage of watching the contents.It's just that the content of these books is more of a record type. It's not as good as when you unlock the novel, it's like experiencing an epic blockbuster in person!

Publishing overseas works is completely different from publishing online novels on fiction websites.

It was true that Li Chungang was too young before, and he didn't figure out the joints in it, thinking that he only needed to move the work out, but he didn't realize until now that he needed to prepare too many things for it.

In some of Tolkien's original books, detailed settings have been made for "The Lord of the Rings". Things such as race, region, and chronicle can be frighteningly complicated at a glance.

It is precisely because of this rigorous attitude that the book "The Lord of the Rings" has become an irreplaceable classic of Western magic.

In the modern fast-paced society, it seems "inappropriate" to spend so much time on reading, but the Lord of the Rings is definitely far better and better than readers imagined!

This is probably the most glorious departure.

In a dark night that couldn't be more ordinary, four young hobbits set off quietly.

The four of them were completely unaware of the significance of their own brave step out of the village.

For the hundreds of millions of fans on another plane, this step brought them into a lifelong love of fantasy literature!

Although hobbits do not have great strength, powerful magic, and many loyal subordinates and guards.

But they have a pure, kind and brave heart!

This is not the routine of the adventures of young warriors from other worlds that are common in the Internet. The journey of the hobbits is full of perseverance and evil temptation.

Although noble emperors, powerful white-robed and gray-robed mages, talented elves and dwarves can dominate the battlefield and call the wind and rain, they are no match for the temptation of the dark power in their hearts.

But hobbits are much more tenacious and tenacious in spirit than these so-called able men and strangers!

The splendor of the book does not lie in the dialogues of the characters, but in the incomparable foreshadowing and environment rendering, using poems to describe the details in a particularly vivid way.

Although this is a fantasy world completely divorced from the real world, it is the same as the real world, with heroes and villains, loyalty and betrayal, persistence and conflict, love and hatred.

To some extent, this is also a history book, but this history is entirely about that fictional world.

As the first person in the world to experience the world of "The Lord of the Rings", Li Chungang said that the shocking experience brought to him by this book is unprecedented.It's not like online literature, but no matter how high the quality is, it can't get rid of the shackles of online literature.

"call--"

This should be regarded as the most time he has unlocked the most literary works in one go in a short period of time since he owned the system. Fortunately, the brain-widening benefits brought about by upgrading the system continue to affect him, otherwise such a massive amount of memory would flood into a In the human brain, brain death may occur every minute due to short-term lack of oxygen in the brain.

Taking a deep breath, he shook his heavy head.

But if someone is there at this time, you will find that Li Chungang's seemingly tired face has bright eyes full of confidence. With the foundation of these memories, he has full confidence in his next trip to the United States.

Next, it only takes a day or two to sort out these contents in advance and bring them to the United States. I believe that these real things will be more convincing than words in front of Random House!

"Speaking of which, Gandalf in the white robe should be regarded as the originator of melee melee mages, right? The legendary talent of [Light Art], and the existence of full melee melee combat ability, this should be very interesting, hahaha."

Chapter 515 Departure

Li Chungang was immersed in the content of "The Lord of the Rings" and couldn't extricate himself. Who knew that the sudden ringtone of the mobile phone in reality forced him to open his eyes.

"Thompson? What did he want to do when he called me early in the morning? Doesn't it mean that foreigners' work attitudes are generally loose, and they belong to the kind of work that you can do for as much as you want."

It's [-]:[-] p.m. Yanjing time, and it's probably [-]:[-] a.m. in New York, the United States. It's a very rare thing to get up at this time in a foreign country.

Could it be that he hasn't slept all night?

Thinking about it this way would make more sense.

Just as Li Chungang guessed, Thompson yawned and took out a bottle of iced mineral water from the refrigerator at home. He found that one of his socks seemed to have fallen into the house of the girl he dated last night. The stench of a party all night long.

"I didn't disturb your sleep, did I?"

"Not at all, I'm reading a book. Is there something urgent that you called here?"

Thompson knew that it was time to get down to business. He took a sip of ice water to clear his head first: "I want to inquire about your latest itinerary. If possible, can you come to our headquarters in the near future? And I remember You once said that the book "The Lord of the Rings" is a long novel, and there are three parts in total. I wonder if you have considered publishing it at the same time after finishing it. I know it is quite difficult, but I believe that it will be more popular with readers. favorite."

In fact, Li Chungang has already decided to leave for Random House in the United States, but because he is still in the visa processing stage, he has not taken the initiative to contact Random House for the time being, but he should do so in two or three days. up.

But there is a doubt that has been lingering in Li Chungang's heart, and even Lin Meng and the others have not received an answer.

That is why Penguin Random House's attitude towards itself, or towards its unpublished "Lord of the Rings", has suddenly changed completely like a 180-degree turn. The performance of the right process, and then all of a sudden there was an overwhelming desire to co-publish The Lord of the Rings with myself.

You must know that since last year, plus this phone call that has not been hung up yet, Random House has repeatedly urged him to go to the Penguin Random House headquarters for the fourth time. The main purpose of doing so is And why?

In layman's terms: You like to eat eggs, but there is no need to say that you must see this hen that lays eggs!

The content of the first part of "Lord of the Rings" has been handed over to Thompson as early as the beginning, and later the completed English version was also sent to the other party. In this way, there is basically no obstacle to publication. As for The signing of the publishing contract and the like can be completely left to the company to send someone to discuss it. Why invite Li Chungang to the headquarters again and again.

Something must have happened in between before and after that caused all these changes.

He had specifically asked Thompson about this before, but unfortunately, don't think that foreigners with thick eyebrows and big eyes are easy to fool, the other party is still tight-lipped about this, but secretly reminded that as long as you come to Random House in the United States, everything will be revealed. .

"Actually, it's just a matter of time for me to publish a single book or to combine the three books together. As long as I give me a little time, I can write them out of my head, but the premise is that I want to read it. To your Random House's sincerity in wanting to cooperate."

"Our sincerity will be felt when you come to the United States!" Thompson replied with certainty.As a big Penguin Random House, he was the first to come into contact with Li Chungang, and also the one with the closest relationship. He was entrusted with a heavy responsibility by the board of directors.

That's why he called Li Chungang personally every once in a while.

It's not that Thompson deliberately didn't tell Li Chungang the secret, but that it involves the internal secrets of Random House, which is currently only known to acquaintances in a small circle, and the reason why the leadership of Random House wants to I want to meet Li Chungang in person because it involves the company's next major decision, so I have to be more careful!

"Row."

In ancient times, when the old Liu family invited Zhuge Liang out of the mountain, they would visit the thatched cottage three times. Now Thompson has invited him for the fourth time. Although Manjinghua Publishing Company has begun to expand overseas territory, if possible, Li Chungang still values ​​the relationship with Random House. Whether it is through the use of Random House's global publishing channels, or to make the first step of their overseas influence go further, there is nothing wrong with it.

"Even if you didn't call me today, in fact, we should contact you in a day or two. The visa to the United States is already being processed, and we will confirm the itinerary after the visa is completed, and we will definitely be the first Time to contact you, Thompson."

"Visa issue!? Mr. Li, you should have told me about this earlier. I can send you an invitation in the name of Random House, so that you don't have to wait for the visa application." Thompson said regretfully after hearing this. Said, but after waiting for such a long time, I don't care about this day or two. This may be the best news he has heard in a while.

—

Flight from Yanjing to New York, USA on April 4.

"Sister, why do you look more nervous than me?"

"You are wrong!"

Because she wanted to negotiate and cooperate with the world's number one commercial publisher, Random House, Lin Mengsi decided to do it herself after thinking about it. Of course, besides that, Qin Jingtian from the legal department, plus her secretary Liu Siqian and four assistants formed the team. The team for this trip to the United States.

Only Li Chungang, Lin Meng, and Qin Jingtian were arranged in the first class of the flight, and the others were arranged in the economy class.

It's not that Li Chungang is stingy, or that the company can't afford the money, but that no matter what a company should pay attention to, it still needs to pay attention to it.

Originally, the date for their trip to the United States should have been two days ago, but Lin Meng insisted on delaying it for another two days on the grounds that "the preparation is not enough".Not to mention her, everyone in Wensi Quanyong Company was shocked when they heard that they were going to enter into cooperation negotiations with Random House.

Just being the world's number one commercial publisher is scary enough.
