The days when I retired with the queen of music

Chapter 396 Dark Forest

In the new year, on January 4th, Xianxian’s vacation ended and she returned to kindergarten. The little one can't wait for it, she already likes the kindergarten very much.

In addition, she also made a request to Lu Anzhi, wanting to play with sister Ran Ran.

I don't know why, but the little guy is very attached to Xu Ranran, and talks about Sister Ranran whenever he has time.

It's just that Xu Changqing is still busy handing over work in the bookstore and moving, as well as Xu Ranran's transfer to another school. Lu Anzhi and Wang Ping have learned about Xu Changqing's situation. Now Xu Changqing was afraid that he would not have time to deal with him and Xianxian, so Lu Anzhi had no choice but to tell Xianxian that Sister Ranran was busy now and it would take some time before he could take her to play with Sister Ranran.

So Xianxian was depressed and muttered: "Why are you busy? What are children busy with? Really!"

Lu Anzhi laughed when he heard Xianxian's complaint and said to Zhang Suxin, "I must have learned this from you."

Zhang Suxin rolled her eyes at Lu An angrily and said, "What did you learn from me? When did I ever complain like this? I think I learned it from you!"

Lu Anzhi asked Xianxian: "Xianxian, who did you learn what you just said?"

Xianxian ran with the idea of ​​not offending anyone she spoke to, and replied: "I learned it from my mother."

Zhang Suxin: "..."

Xianxian chuckled. The little guy's emotions came and went quickly, and he soon temporarily forgot about the regret of not being able to play with Sister Ran Ran, and started playing happily.

Of course, she still hasn't forgotten this matter, and often asks Lu Anzhi when she can play with sister Ran Ran.

Lu Anzhi told her that it would be fine after a while.

So during this period, Xianxian went to kindergarten peacefully every day, and Lu Anzhi's two bookstores, Sanwei Bookstore and Baicaoyuan, changed clerks.

After the new store was named Baicao Garden, Lu Anzhi originally thought that it would be his own girl who would complete the feat from Baicao Garden to Sanwei Bookstore, but he never expected that it would be Xu Changqing who led Xu Ranran from Baicao Garden to Sanwei Bookstore.

When Xu Changqing and Xu Ranran were walking from Baicao Garden to Sanwei Bookstore, the Internet interest in the second part of "The Three-Body Problem", "Dark Forest", suddenly exploded.

After experiencing the first part of "The Three-Body Problem", this novel already has a lot of popularity and topicality - especially this novel was written by Lu An.

When the first part of "The Three-Body Problem" was released, the words "Sophon" and "Ghost Project" became the keywords discussed by online book friends. When "The Dark Forest" was first released, Wall Facers and Wall Breakers also had a lot of discussions about it. .

But these discussions are not as good as now.

The emergence of water droplets once again caused a lot of discussion in the science fiction world, and even became a bit popular. When people were chatting online, phrases such as "Beware of water droplets" and "A drop of water will explode" suddenly became popular. Many people who didn't understand this meme couldn't help but ask online for advice on what water droplets are.

This surprised Lu Anzhi. You must know that in the previous life, the water droplets were far less popular than the wall-facers and wall-breakers. However, this kind of simple, crude and shocking interstellar war scene seems to poke more fun at the young people of this world, making them feel incomparably cool.

But after thinking about it carefully, Lu Anzhi understood. After all, in this world where online novels are dominated by electronic magazines, there are not many battle scenes in the previous life where the imagination was completely free. Even though martial arts novels have declined in this world, other types of novels have not allowed much imagination.

Moreover, the Sakura Country in this world still lacks the soil of the Japanese comics in the previous life. It does not have the "you are already dead" of "Fist of the North Star", does not have the physical punches of "Dragon Ball", does not have the various Zanpakutō, ninjutsu and... Devil Fruit, lacking more comparisons, in the eyes of young people in this world, water drops have reached the extreme in terms of fashion value and imagination.

Not only on the Internet, even Song Xiaoqin is saying every day these days that she doesn't even take idol dramas seriously anymore. Several times while chasing after a drama, I lowered my head to look at my phone and scrolled through the comments about Water Drops. After scrolling for a while, I suddenly remembered that I was chasing a drama and begged Zhang Suxin to go back and watch it again, which made Zhang Suxin very dissatisfied.

After several times in a row, Song Xiaoqin learned her lesson, put her phone aside, and followed the drama seriously with Zhang Suxin.

"But water drops are so cool! Lu Anzhi, how did you come up with the idea?"

When Song Xiaoqin was explaining to Zhang Suxin, she couldn't help but ask Lu Anzhi.

This woman has always been interested in cool middle school stuff, otherwise she wouldn't be most interested in "The Legend of Wukong" among Lu Anzhi's series of novels.

Lu Anzhi replied to her: "I didn't think much about it, I just thought it would be more straightforward to fight and hit people with bricks."

"Where is this from?"

Song Xiaoqin followed Zhang Suxin's example and rolled her eyes.

Even Song Xiaoqin was like this, and Lu Anzhi didn't dare to think about what kind of reaction the readers of this world would have when the third two-way foil is released.

The popularity of "The Dark Forest", the second part of "The Three-Body Problem", has continued to grow after Shuidi's debut, and the sales of the first part of "The Three-Body Problem" have also been boosted. Knowing that "Dark Forest" was almost finished, Ku Ku immediately contacted Lu Anzhi to discuss the second stand-alone volume of "The Three-Body Problem".

This is something that is already familiar to both Lu Anzhi and Feng Shuxia. Both parties only need to sign a contract based on the established template and perform according to the contract.

In addition to the suffering under the maple tree, editors from Science Fiction World also quickly contacted Lu Anzhi. He has received all the manuscripts for the second part of "The Three-Body Problem", "Dark Forest". After reading the entire manuscript, people in the science fiction world have to admire Lu Anzhi's imagination. The quality of this novel is as good as ever. High, and all kinds of novel ideas are still filled in the whole book.

The editors at Science Fiction World thought it was a waste for Lu Anzhi to cram so many good ideas into one book. Just one or two of these ideas could be enough for other authors to write a novel.

So after knowing that "The Dark Forest" was about to end, and that Trisolaris had not yet arrived, the editors of Science Fiction World immediately realized that the novel was not finished yet, and its plot could continue to develop.

Therefore, on behalf of the science fiction world, he contacted Lu Anzhi and urgently discussed the serialization of the third part, for fear that Lu Anzhi would hand over the third part to other magazines for serialization.

You must know that the sales of Science Fiction World magazines have more than doubled with the book "Dark Forest", the second part of "The Three-Body Problem".

Lu Anzhi didn't have any objections to this. Since "The Three-Body Problem" has already been written, it would be better to finish it. Anyway, the second part has been serialized in the science fiction world, and it makes sense for the third part to continue. In accordance with the contract requirements of "Three-Body Two", he proposed the third serialization to Sci-Fi World, but he didn't expect that Sci-Fi World actually took the initiative to increase the price and gave him a quote of one thousand words per thousand words.

Lu Anzhi understood that he was buying his future works with sincerity.

Lu Anzhi agreed. He was good at rejecting people, but not good at rejecting others' sincerity.

Another week has passed, and a new issue of "Science Fiction World" has been published.

In this issue, the second part of "Three-Body", "Dark Forest", officially comes to an end. The conversation between Luo Ji and Ye Wenjie at the beginning of the second part is also connected by the clues of the ending at this moment.

The last remaining person in the Wallfacer Project stood up. Luo Ji, who was regarded as useless by the people and used the Wallfacer Project to benefit himself, at the last moment, in front of the despairing Trisolaran World, used the sun to confront Trisolaris creates a deterrent.

Dark forest deterrent.

In this final chapter, all readers feel oppressed by the powerful and unsolvable power of water droplets. This feeling of oppression is even more severe than that of Tomoko in the first part.

Sophon has given the people of the earth so many years, and the water droplets are already threatening mankind at close range.

Human beings in the book have fallen into complete despair, while readers outside the book can only pin their hopes on Luo Ji, the protagonist of the second part.

This protagonist seems so unreliable, but he seems to hold some kind of key, which leads Trisolaran to assassinate him. Readers don't know the reason for this, but from the foreshadowing in the book, they should understand that Luo Ji is the key to reversing all this situation.

So when Luo Ji said the words "I speak to the three-body world," almost all the readers who saw this tense their nerves and watched with concentration.

Then they saw Luo Ji, who used his own life to bind the sun and the three-body world, forming a deterrent to the three-body world.

"Now, I will stop my heart, and at the same time I will become the greatest criminal in the history of both worlds. I am deeply sorry to both civilizations for the crimes I have committed, but I will not repent, because This is the only option."

This sentence came out of Luo Ji's mouth so calmly, yet it was so shocking.

Readers have already understood the dark forest theory. In this universe, all civilizations are hunters walking in the dark. All civilizations have to hide and shoot black guns to avoid being shot in the dark - because any civilization can hide and shoot black guns without being discovered. At the same time, in order to prevent being accidentally shot, all people who hide must shoot at suspected targets. To eliminate potential enemies as much as possible, everyone had to hide and everyone had to use black guns.

What Luo Ji wants to do is to threaten the Trisolaran world by detonating the solar system and exposing the coordinates of the Earth and the Trisolaran world, so that the Trisolaran world can take advantage of it.

This kind of courage and courage to face the whole world by one person is extremely romantic. Although some people question the logic of the dark forest theory, this romantic and wanton picture and the plot that can be self-consistent with the content of the novel are so touching.

So after this issue of Science Fiction World Magazine was released, the popularity of Three-Body Problem became even higher, and it even topped the trending list on WeChat.

WeChat is now a place for various celebrities and fans to hold activities. However, because the official is Li Huiming, who has the support of Lu Anzhi, at Lu Anzhi’s request, New WeChat has always been very strict with the operating rules of WeChat, and there are no various Something outrageous and outrageous.

There are advantages and disadvantages to this.

The disadvantage is that there are no trolls, trending search transactions and other nonsense. WeChat has lost a lot of popularity and has lost a lot of ways to make money. The advantage is that the environment of WeChat has always been very good, and its credibility on the Internet is also good. It’s enough. People now fully recognize the information exposed on WeChat and rarely question the falsehoods.

Therefore, celebrities and fans can only manage their popularity through formal channels, trying to grab the hottest searches and be the first.

But today, they discovered that the number one trending topic on WeChat had become a novel.

"Three-body"? Water droplets? Dark forest?

What the hell is this?

Oh, novels.

Um? Lu Anzhi's novel?

Then you have to give it a good blow.

The first person to start blowing was Zhou Bo. This guy started bragging on Weibo the day after the final chapter of The Dark Forest was released, saying that he had read Teacher Lu Anzhi’s latest work. Teacher Lu Anzhi is indeed Teacher Lu Anzhi. The novel is full of rigorous logical thinking and wonderful stories. Unparalleled imagination, people are amazed. The other singers followed suit one by one, playing desperately.

Under the Maple Tree also took the opportunity to issue an announcement, stating that "Three-Body Two: Dark Forest" will be published soon, and online pre-orders are now available. Please continue to pay attention.

It’s just that single book channels are still available through offline booksellers. Various publishers, including Maple Tree, have not paid much attention to online book purchasing channels. Therefore, they are only trying out online bookings. A large number of orders are still given to them. Offline and in books.

There are not many online book reservations, so as soon as it was released, it was sold out immediately. By some chance, there was a wave of hungry marketing for "Three-Body Part Two: Dark Forest" under the maple trees, which made netizens even more enthusiastic. Discussions about the second part of "Three-Body Problem", whether on WeChat There are a lot of them both online and elsewhere.

Even when Miao Suqin called Zhang Suxin, Zhang Yuzhi chatted a few words about "Dark Forest" beside him, fully expressing his satisfaction with this work and saying that all the students in his school were watching it. He has collected several copies of this book.

The sci-fi world was extremely anxious and asked Lu Anzhi several times when the next one would be released. As a result, Lu Anzhi said that he was still writing every time. He was really forced to do nothing, so he gave the editor of Science Fiction World a letter of approval: "Wait until I celebrate the Chinese New Year. I will give you the manuscript after the Chinese New Year, okay?"

Only then was the editor of Science Fiction World satisfied, and then he confirmed with Lu Anzhi again and again. After confirmation, Science Fiction World issued an announcement, informing readers that the third part of "The Three-Body Problem", "The Immortality of Death", will be officially published in "Science Fiction World" after the year. It’s about serialization. Readers rushed to tell each other, and the stand-alone version of "Three-Body Two: Dark Forest" was officially released.

Lu Anzhi's Sanwei Bookstore and Baicao Garden naturally sell "Dark Forest". Lu Anzhi and Xianxian arrived at Sanwei Bookstore almost at the same time as "Dark Forest".
