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

It's a pity that the weather is not beautiful, the bar owner who usually comes to the bar on time every night to have a few drinks and read a book, is not here today!

He wanted to sign his name on the title page of the book, but after thinking about it carefully, he should not do such a presumptuous thing, and just write a note and stick it inside the book page.

There are not many people in the bar, or it is difficult to get too much popularity in a bar with such a strange style or even a weird style in foreign countries. Alcohol and books are not too compatible. This is purely the owner of the bar. due to hobbies.

So the waitress simply sat across from Li Chungang and chatted with him while scrubbing the wine glass: "You look like an Asian. Are you here to visit Auckland? I always feel that you are not of legal drinking age."

But the money has been paid, and even the wine has been served, it seems a bit too late to say this.

Li Chungang didn't have any thoughts about her, but Zhong Guo, a boring gourd, is obviously not a good chat partner. It's boring to drink alone, and it's good to have someone to chat with now, so he replied: "My girlfriend and I are here. traveling here."

"New Zealand is beautiful, you will love it here! Have a great time."

"Thanks, I've only been here for a short day, but I think I've grown to like it."

After Li Chungang watched the waitress leave, he put his eyes on the table. There are some simple-use pencils and sticky notes here. After thinking for a while, he wrote on it in English: "I am very happy to see this This book, I hope to see the Green Dragon Tavern when I come next time.”

After writing this sentence, he still searched in his mind to write the elf characters of the Green Dragon Tavern on it, although this is actually a bit nondescript.

Because the Green Dragon Tavern is actually a place where hobbits gather to drink, and no elves will come to this place.Except for Bilbo Baggins and Frodo who can speak Elvish in Hobbiton, the rest of the hobbits don't know it at all.

After Li Chungang finished writing, he put the note in the pages of the book and clipped it. I don’t know how long it will be until the next time he comes to New Zealand. I’m afraid that “The Lord of the Rings” should be filmed here at that time!

Now that the movie hasn't come out, fans can only imagine the appearance of each scene in their own minds.

After he sat in the bar for about 10, [-], [-] minutes, He Miao had already urged on WeChat not to drink too late, thinking that the purpose of entering this bar to gain insight had basically been achieved, so he got up and left.

Put 20 New Zealand dollars in the tip jar at the bar. This is not a country where tipping is mandatory.

—

The rolling hills and countless verdant pastures accompanied Li Chungang and others all the way. Today their journey is to go to the small town of Matamata, a place specially designated by Li Chungang himself.

The town of Matamata! ?

Is there anything special about this place?

Ethan thought hard for a while, but he didn't think of any special places worth noting in this remote town in New Zealand. If there are no traces of modern life such as modern roads, cables and wires, it is considered a special place, then such a place is in New Zealand. There are really a lot of them on the North Island.

Use other people's money to eliminate disasters for others. Since it is the boss' request, you have to agree to anything. If you have money, you are a master!

"I don't know if the DeWitt family's ranch will be sold."

Before coming here, Li Chungang had been checked by someone in advance. The land here is owned by a family named "Dewitt", and they also saw the sign of the Devitt family when they came in just now.

After He Miao heard Li Chungang talking to himself, he asked in surprise, "Why do you think of buying land here?"

"Don't you think this is the most suitable place to reproduce Hobbiton in the book of "The Lord of the Rings"? The natural scenery in New Zealand is really good, besides, inflation is serious all over the world now, so many deposits Putting it in the bank to eat interest may not be able to beat inflation, so it is better to buy a piece of land as a family heirloom."

Li Chungang said half-truthfully, he was actually not sure about the specific location of Hobbiton. The related books he unlocked before only roughly described that it was located in this remote town on the North Island of New Zealand.

He stood on a small hill and took a video with his mobile phone. In the video, he shot this place from a distance, as if it was a true reproduction of Middle-earth. As the original author and screenwriter, as long as there are sufficient reasons, he can persuade Universal Pictures to shoot the movie. It is not difficult to place here.

It's just that these words were not uttered. After all, there was an outsider, Ethan, and Li Chungang was not going to reveal his plan.

Ethan is indeed a China hand. He can tell that Li Chungang's idea of ​​buying land just now is true, and he is secretly surprised at the moment. Writing books as a writer really makes a lot of money these days, tens of millions of New Zealand dollars at every turn. The land doesn't blink an eye when it says buy!

The scenery is picturesque and the mountains and rivers are vast, but there are no huts, mills or terraced fields, which require the set designer and prop master to work before filming.

Li Chungang does not intend to make these buildings a one-off, but intends to truly restore the landscape of Middle-earth 100% and build them, so that whether it is used as private land for annual tourism and vacations in the future, or to keep it for sequels, it will be very good.

"The Lord of the Rings" Although Universal Pictures wants to shoot three films in one go, there is also an unknown "The Hobbit". After this book comes out, it will still be handed over to Universal for filming.

This place is like a quiet and beautiful paradise. The creek flows quietly against the hills, and the cattle and sheep in the distance graze leisurely. There is a pure and charming pastoral style everywhere!

"Mr. Felton is still waiting for us in the manor. They have prepared rich food." Ethan looked at the time on his watch and reminded kindly, "It's getting late now."

This stop was finalized by Li Chungang with the travel company before coming to New Zealand. They came forward to help Li Chungang contact the DeWitt family, so they could drive around in other people's ranches. The owner killed him directly and there was no place to complain.

As soon as the group entered the manor, they were warmly welcomed by the owner of the manor, Felton DeWitt, as soon as they got out of the car.

Especially after the other party learned that Li Chungang's identity was actually the author of the world's best-selling fantasy masterpiece "The Lord of the Rings", he became more enthusiastic now, and grabbed Li Chungang's arm from He Miao's hand and went to the back garden of the manor Walking, there are already employees of the ranch over there who are busy preparing a feast for the guests.

Before the people arrived, everyone could already smell the aroma of roasted beef and mutton coming from afar!

In addition, there was a rectangular dining table that could accommodate a dozen people without any problem at the same time. Under Mr. Felton's warm greeting, everyone found a place to sit down one by one.

The beef and mutton that is still roasting is not counted. At this time, the table is already filled with a variety of exquisite delicacies, such as abalone, lobster, smoked sausage, etc...all are fresh ingredients that can be bought locally in New Zealand, "very Welcome everyone from afar!"

After a brief conversation, Li Chungang and the others realized that all the ingredients and things they saw in front of them were fresh ingredients that could be found locally in New Zealand, and today's highlight, freshly roasted beef and mutton, was produced at their Dewitt Ranch Cattle and sheep, guaranteed [-]% original ecology.

"Come, come, everyone, have a taste of my treasured wine, this lady can beautify her face after drinking it."

"Then thank you, Mr. Felton."

To be honest, before coming here, Li Chungang did not expect that Felton, the owner of the ranch, would be so enthusiastic, and he didn't know whether this enthusiasm was only for them or for all foreign guests, but no matter what, they all I was a little flattered by the enthusiasm of foreigners.

This is the top seafood ingredients, and the whole beef and mutton from the ranch, and now even the treasured wine is invited out.

If you eat it in any restaurant in the world like this, not counting the wine whose specific value is unknown, it will definitely not be worth tens of thousands!

They all said that guests can do whatever they want, and under the hospitality of the host, Mr. Felton, they were also hard-pressed to give up their hospitality, and they began to feast on food and wine one after another...

“Rich and full-bodied, elegant and fresh to drink, this white wine goes well together, but it would be nice to have a little more suppleness and variety when it’s made.”

Li Chungang put down the goblet in his hand, and turned into a wine critic, as if that was the case.

Obviously, he had never even drank wine before, but he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say something that he thought was fairly fair under Felton's expectant gaze.

He Miao, who was sitting next to him, first poked the soft flesh on his waist with his hand, and then joked in a low voice: "When did you become a wine lover?"

"Just before drinking this glass of wine, I finally realized the beauty of wine."

After enjoying a sumptuous local meal at DeWitt Ranch, they returned to Auckland. Due to time constraints, they did not plan to go to the South Island in this trip. In a few hours, Li Chungang and his party will be leaving Board the plane to Los Angeles, USA.

The natural scenery of this small country is excellent, and the Maori culture and so on are very attractive.

It’s just that there is no permanent banquet in the world. After playing here for a week, everyone is actually a little physically and mentally exhausted. The main reason is that they often sit in the car and run around most of the time.

And this meal at the Devitt Ranch also has the meaning of a "farewell banquet" in it, mainly because after getting along for a week, everyone including the taciturn Zhong Guo had a feeling for Ethan, a good-tempered and straightforward Maori man. Good impression, so everyone's mood was very high during this meal.

After returning from Devitt Ranch all the way back to the hotel where Outland is located, everyone began to simply pack their own luggage. Originally, it was basically a suitcase + a backpack as standard, but when they left There are two extra suitcases, which are not too big or too small, and they are filled with many "specialties" belonging to New Zealand. This is still the reason why some of them are inconvenient to carry with them and have been checked by an international logistics company to return home in advance, otherwise they will increase There are more suitcases.

Especially the "spoils" that He Miao came to New Zealand to sweep up this time, and they have already returned home one step ahead of schedule.

Of course, the most important thing is that Li Chungang still considers that his trip to New Zealand with He Miao is already well-known in China, so it would be a bit embarrassing not to bring some souvenirs to relatives and friends after returning home Yes, even bringing a can of New Zealand's famous local milk powder is better than empty hands!

As for the three guys in dormitory 404...

He considered whether he could find a way to go to the home court of the Los Angeles Lakers when he was in Los Angeles, and wanted to get the autographed jersey of the head star Black Mamba, and believed that no man would refuse this gift.

After packing up, Ethan drove them to the airport. Seeing Ethan who had a lot of worries along the way, who wanted to say something but didn't dare to say it, after getting off the car, Li Chungang asked Zhong Ge to take He Miao to go through the luggage check-in formalities first. , and left alone to say goodbye to Ethan——

"Ethan, thank you very much for this week. There is an old saying in Huaguo that there is always a feast that ends forever. I hope we can see each other again in the future!"

"Goodbye, Mr. Li. I am very glad to be your tour guide. Before I leave, I have a small request. Can you sign the book "The Lord of the Rings" for me? My son likes your writing very much. This story, he felt that this book made him see a magical magical world."

In the parking area, Ethan nervously took out a book from the storage compartment of the passenger seat.

Li Chungang readily agreed: "Of course there is no problem. Should I write in Chinese or English?"

"Both languages ​​are fine. Our family usually communicates in two languages."

Li Chungang returned the physical book with the written greetings to Ethan, extended his hand to shake him and said solemnly: "Thank you for taking care of me this week, you are an excellent tour guide."

"Thank you!"

"Goodbye! Next time I have time to travel to New Zealand, I will still look for you, but next time I have to go to the South Island and visit your uncle's ranch."

Ethan, who was standing in the same place, was quite touched when he heard the words. He didn't expect that Li Chungang would always remember the recommendation he casually gave to his uncle's ranch.

After speaking, Li Chungang pushed his suitcase and followed the rest of the passengers into the airport hall, and this trip to New Zealand came to an end.

But obviously this will not be the last time he comes here. Yesterday he entrusted the real estate agent here to discuss the sale price of the ranch with the DeWitt family. come over!

My backyard is Hobbiton, which is pretty cool just thinking about it.

Chapter 617

"Brother, are you also here to squat the Great God of Chungang?"

"The same to you!?"

"Fellows!", "Fellows!"

"..."

The same situation and the same conversation happened frequently on the pick-up building of Los Angeles Airport in the United States, and more and more yellow people with Asian faces gathered here at the exit gate. They need the name tags of the people who pick up the plane, and these people are very unique, all of them are basically holding the same book-"Lord of the Rings".

From the moment Wensi Quanyong disclosed Li Chungang's trip to New Zealand for vacation...

The itinerary of the three of them has become a matter of great concern and concern to many readers and fans, but don't underestimate the readers and fans of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. This is why someone asked people to inquire about it from the Outland Airport in New Zealand Arrived at Li Chungang's flight information to Los Angeles, USA.

For example, there are many superstar idol fans in China who can inquire about the itinerary of celebrity idols, and then come to the airport in advance to block people.

Originally, even if the flight information was found, it was actually nothing. The problem was that this supernatural reader fan directly disclosed the flight information on Weibo.

good guy! ! !

guy! ! !

Partner! ! !

It’s okay for readers and fans abroad who can’t see Weibo not to know about it, but those who have been using Weibo and are interested in this cover are all like treasures, because many domestic “ "Comrade" can only express regret, but those who happen to be traveling in Los Angeles, or who have already lived and worked in Los Angeles, are ecstatic.

As for Chinatown, where fans and readers gather most densely, someone directly initiated and organized an event to pick up Li Chungang on the spot, which immediately gained the support of many people.

No, Li Chungang’s flight to Los Angeles landed in less than half an hour. Looking at the small-scale Asian crowd, the security team leader at the airport asked the leader on duty that day and got a disregarded reply. After that, I stopped meddling in my own business.

But more or less, I still kept an eye on it, and asked the security personnel to lean in that direction as much as possible when patrolling, so that if something really happened, it could be resolved as soon as possible!

There are still 10 minutes before Li Chungang's flight arrives in Los Angeles.

I do not know when the crowd that was originally gathered in a small scale quietly escalated to a very large scale. The originally spacious pick-up hall has become crowded with so many people gathering at the same time, and the closer the crowd density is to the exit The higher it was, the inner three floors, and the outer layer was completely surrounded. If it weren't for the security team on duty who saw the situation was not good, they rushed to the exit at the first time and forcibly saved the last small opening.

Otherwise, it would have already affected the exit gates of normal personnel on other flights.

And the security team leader has once again urgently reported the situation here to the leadership of the airport. The leader who was not serious at first came to the scene in a hurry and saw a large crowd of more than thousands of people. , obvious sweat slid down his dark face, if something happened to him, his position as a small supervisor would be lost.

"Jamie! Jamie! Where are you, Jamie!? Hurry up and die for me."

"Director, I'm here."

"Let me ask you! What is the purpose of these thousands of people gathering? I think most of these people are Asians, holding a book in their hands. Is it suspected of some kind of religious sect? In case of emergency , Is the security force at our airport sufficient to deal with it?"

"Director, I just sent someone to ask. The reason why these Asians gathered at our airport is to pick up a writer, that is, the Chinese writer who wrote "The Lord of the Rings". He will fly to Los Angeles soon. I I feel that our security forces are a little bit overwhelmed by the current situation."

"This……"

The supervisor looked in the direction pointed by Jamie, the security team leader. The members of the two patrol security teams at the airport were like boats among the crowd. Struggling to maintain a minimum order, but it will be a matter of time to be submerged in the sea of ​​people.

It's not like Los Angeles Airport didn't have fans of international superstars come to pick them up on the spot, but they were all done with sufficient preparation, unlike what happened now that happened so suddenly that the airport was a little bit rushed to deal with it. out of reach.

"Jamie, you should immediately contact the Los Angeles Police Department and ask them to send as many people as possible to support us in maintaining order at the scene."

"But supervisor, is it still too late to contact me? The flight will land in less than 10 minutes."

"You don't need to worry about this, I will let the control tower find a reason to delay it for a little more than ten minutes, anyway, isn't it normal for a flight to be delayed?"

"The supervisor is wise!"

After thinking about it again and again, the supervisor still felt that he gritted his teeth and "asked for help". There was nothing he could do about it, because he saw that even the current number of people was still not the limit, and there was still an endless stream of people coming in and joining at the entrance of the pick-up hall. Among the crowd, even from the beginning with Asian faces as the leading actors, it has become a complicated situation where people of various skin colors are mixed in it.

Don’t underestimate the reputation of the author of “The Lord of the Rings” abroad, especially in English-speaking regions such as Europe and America.

Some foreigners who just got off the plane, after learning that this group of Asians gathered here to pick up the author of "The Lord of the Rings", decided not to leave in a second without hesitation, but to carry their bags. My own luggage joined the crowd, and I wanted to meet the author of "The Lord of the Rings", but unfortunately, I didn't have a copy of "The Lord of the Rings" like other well-prepared fans. If I was lucky enough to get the author Your autograph is good luck!

"Hey, bro! Can you sell me the "Lord of the Rings" in your hand? I will buy it from you at double the original price."

"But the book in my hand is in Chinese, are you sure you can understand what's in it?"

"The Chinese version doesn't matter. I didn't use it to read it. I just wondered if I would be lucky enough to have Chungang Li sign it for collection."

"Is that so, I'm sorry, I thought so too."

"I...%￥#@%~*&!"

This foreign friend, who felt he had been tricked, almost couldn't help scolding the classic "F" American scolding. Fortunately, the next second he saw seven or eight Chinese people looking at him at the same time. Choose from the heart.
