Striving to be the successor of the age of Chuanshu

??The sky outside is dimly lit, but the fluorescent lamps in the research room of the "Dangerous Book Project" are still brightly lit. There are screens on the entire wall on all sides of the room, and a circular table is placed on the ground in the center, with an interval of half a meter. A cushion is placed in each position.

?? This is Qianyan's working environment during this time.

??The Dangerous Book Project has a total of [-] people. In addition to Qin Gui, who is a familiar face, there is also a member of the book-wearing team named 'Hong Fangni'. Earlier, Qian Yan dealt with her at the police station, and she still kept that hair. Short hair, the ends seem to be shaved a bit.

?? At this time, Qianyan was sitting on the ground leaning against the table, still immersed in her book. She didn't go to class during this time, so she could only make up for the missing content at night.

?? Only she and Hong Fangni were left in the room.

"Why don't you go home?" Hong Fangni asked, "Didn't you go home to study before? Why didn't your family urge you today?"

?? Qianyan looked up at her, "Why don't you go home?"

"Oh, my house is a bit far away. I can only afford to sleep for two hours every time I go back. It's not worth it. I usually sleep here on the floor. Anyway, there is floor heating, so I can sleep quite comfortably," Hong Fangni said from the closet. He took out a small blanket and threw one to Qian Yan, "Why don't you invite me to live at your house?"

??Hong Fangni gave Qianyan a blanket to cover her legs, but Qianyan folded it, spread it on the floor, and then lay down, "I didn't go home myself, how could I bring you home?"

?? Hong Fangni saw that Qianyan was going to sleep, so she turned off the light in the room and said, "Student Yan, are you two having a conflict?"

"No." Qianyan said in the dark.

?? "Then why do you..."

?? "I just don't know how to face her."

?? Qianyan sighed silently.

?? How should she tell Yi Wu about her dad??

??The Dangerous Book Project has been in operation for so long. The researchers have read the book left by Yi Zuolin almost word for word. Every day, there will be a special person to carry out the task of translating the book. Although this book is Yi Zuolin's personal modeling book, but the NPC fidelity is very high.

??Because the book-crossing scene is open to everyone, when the appearance of the NPC is displayed on the big screen, you can always hear someone on the scene calling out their names directly. Most of them are still active in the book-wearing world, and they can often be seen in newspapers. Or see people in education news and interviews, such as Zhang Yeli and Wang Yi.

??But to Qianyan's surprise, she didn't see the cheater.

??She had heard from her parents that they had a good relationship with Yi Zuolin, so she kept paying attention to Yi Wu after Yi Zuolin passed away. She didn't expect that he made a memoir-style book before his death, and even the figure of a cheater No, it was the cheat who paid by mistake.

??Feng Yan has appeared on the stage before, and her appearance is similar to now. It seems that she has been well maintained over the years.

?? There is nothing wrong with these.

??It was until a certain day before, when the story of crossing the book progressed to Chapter 8...

??That day, the person who was in charge of the book wearer was Qianyan. Because there was no archiving mechanism, the principal Zhang Lao, who was in charge of the project, purchased a high-end time accelerometer from abroad to directly adjust the time flow rate in the book. In about 1 minute, the plot of the first seven chapters was quickly finished.

??——It is said that this instrument was also sponsored by Zhang Lao from the board of directors, but I don’t know which director was blackmailed by Zhang Lao again.

?? The plot of the first seven chapters is very simple. They are all about Yi Zuolin's youth. He started from middle school, participated in the college entrance examination, practice exams, and competitions... Almost his entire teenage years were spent in exams. Not surprisingly, they are all No.1, and they have continued to study in college.

??The university part of the story is Hong Fangni's clothes, and there is nothing special about it. I still study, take exams, and make a few friends.

?? The only difference is that after entering Qingda University, Yi Zuolin found that the people around him were exceptionally good. He used to be the best in middle school, but now he was easily crushed by the top students enrolled in other middle schools. I found that no matter how hard he tried, he seemed unable to catch up with the people in front of him. He was walking, and others were also walking. He gradually became anxious. During that time, his hair fell a lot, and he lost his appetite for eating every day.

??The next Chapter 8 that Qianyan wears is after Yi Zuolin graduated from university. Here, a familiar face that Qianyan knew——Zhang Yeli appeared.

?? Qianyan roughly calculated that Uncle Zhang was at least 50 years old at that time, but he only looked like he was in his early thirties.

??The first time Zhang Yeli appeared in Yi Zuolin's story was at the graduation ceremony. At that time, Zhang Lao was already the principal of Qingda University. Then take pictures together.He finally stopped in front of the young Yi Zuolin, and when he handed over the graduation certificate, he didn't let go of his hand immediately, but pressed harder on his hand.

??Qianyan clearly heard Zhang Lao say: "Son, I hope you can become a useful person to the country and society in the future."

??For some reason, when Qianyan heard Zhang Lao say this in the role of Yi Zuolin, she seemed to hear another meaning from it. Before leaving, the parents earnestly urged, as if they wanted to straighten the crooked seedlings immediately.

??And, why did the principal say such a sentence to Yi Zuolin alone?

??Or, the principal actually told everyone, but Yi Zuolin's memoirs only have his own impression?

?? Regarding this point, Qianyan directly asked Zhang Yeli for verification.

??But the answer Zhang Yeli gave was: "I only said that sentence to him."

?? Qianyan: "Why?"

Zhang Yeli still remembers what happened decades later. He said: "Yi Zuolin is relatively special among the graduates of that class. He has held almost all concurrent positions in the grade. The senior , the head of the club, the referee of the book-crossing competition, the assistant assessor of the junior-grade book-crossing competition—exactly the same as the current Yi Wu. Not only that, but he also had contact with people in the society. At that time, the school received an anonymous report saying that there was Students are reselling out-of-print books."

"Is it my father-in-law?" Qianyan asked.

?? Zhang Yeli was stunned by this title, and then said: "Yes, he made some money by reselling out-of-print books. After being discovered, his business stopped, but later, I found out that he started to build his own To be honest, I was very surprised at that time. This is the creativity of our students. As the principal, I must encourage it, but..."

?? Zhang Yeli stopped talking when he had finished speaking. Qian Yan waited for a while, and saw that he still didn't want to speak, so he took the initiative to ask: "Uncle Zhang, isn't Hua Guo not allowed to make books privately?"

?? Zhang Yeli sighed, "This was all decades ago. At that time, the control was not so strict. Our students had all kinds of ideas in their minds. Every year, there would always be a few good books flowing from the school. When it came to the market, Yi Zuolin was the first group of people who introduced self-made books to the market. In the book he left behind, his past was not complete. He said he didn't understand why he worked hard but his grades were not good enough High, but you see, isn't it normal for him to have a lower grade point than others because he is so committed to developing activities and business?"

?? At this time, Hong Fangni, who was sitting on the ground and listening, asked: "Principal, I played the part of the university part, but there is no such thing as you mentioned in the book. According to the description of Mr. Qianyan, he studied quite a lot during college. Hard work, so, does this mean that the contents of this memoir are fictional?"

?? "Fiction is not counted, it can only be said that people's memory will be affected by reality." Zhang Yeli said.

?? Everyone looked puzzled, waiting for Mr. Zhang to explain.

Zhang Yeli: "When Yi Zuolin modeled this book, he was already a highly respected professor at Qingda University. When he recalled his student days, he unconsciously reconstructed his memory. He thought that the past He was as obsessed with academics as he is now. It is not true. You know the saying: 'A caterpillar turns into a butterfly and mistakes itself for a little butterfly when it was a baby'. That's why he beautified his own When he was a student, because when he wrote this book, he had already dared not admit to himself when he was young."

?? "My uncle just participated in more extracurricular activities, why didn't he dare to admit himself at that time?"

??Qin Gui suddenly asked in the crowd.

??It was only then that everyone realized that apart from Qian Yan who claimed to be Yi Zuolin's son-in-law, there was also a real relative—Qin Gui.

??In the past month, Qin Gui has almost never expressed his opinion on the plot or content of Chuanshu—unlike Qian Yan, who wags her tail and says 'As expected of my father-in-law' - so much so that everyone forgot that Qin Gui and Yi Zuolin still have this kind of relationship.

?? Zhang Yeli paced in the research room with his hands behind his back, while watching the replay of the picture of wearing a book on the screen, he said: "This is why I said that sentence to him alone at the graduation ceremony back then. Clever, I hope this kind of cleverness can be useful to society, instead of going astray with him... Do any of you remember the words on the title page of the dangerous book?"

??The audience was silent for a few seconds, only to hear Qian Yan say: "I remember, he said, 'I just look back at my lingering life with this book...'"

?? "Yes, that's the sentence," Zhang Yeli said, "note that he said 'a life that lasts until the end of life', that is to say, when he started writing and modeling this book, his whole life was left to His overall impression is "Longing on his last breath". If his memory is correct, then all the content in this book must be contained in the four words "Longing on his last breath". This is also your next book-traveling task, I need you Come and tell me why his life was lingering."

??Fate is so ingenious. The story before Chapter 8 of the Dangerous Book is as plain as water, but from the chapter Qianyan took over, Yi Zuolin's lingering life began to emerge in his memory...

??After graduating from Qingda University, Yi Zuolin entered the Chuanshu Book Research and Development Institute directly under the Ministry of Education. While working step by step from [-] to [-] in the morning, he used the equipment of the research institute to make his own books. Everything seemed ordinary. Until one day, the higher-ups suddenly called him to talk.

??Through Yi Zuolin's eyes, Qianyan saw the senior leaders sitting in the conference room, everyone looked serious, and looked at him with their hands on the table. One person said: "Engineer Yi, you know Have you seriously violated the regulations of the research institute? Did you know that researchers are not allowed to sell self-made books without permission? Moreover, we have detected that there are serious loopholes in the books you distribute to the society. Fortunately, they were discovered in time, otherwise it may cause serious sequelae of wearing books. In view of this, we have decided to—”

??"etc!"

?? Zhang Yeli, in his fifties, opened the door and walked in.

?? Qianyan looked at him, and saw that Zhang Lao's piercing gaze was almost the same as that of looking at the young people decades later. The NPCs in the conference room looked at Zhang Lao together, and heard him say: "Everyone, I I have a few words to say."
