Entertainment, I really only know a little

Chapter 6: If you read prose books, your prose writing experience +1
"Teacher Xie, whose phone number is it?"

"What a coincidence, he is Chen Yi in your class."

"Oh?"

"This guy is also a talent. He asked me if I can get the 100 yuan reward now? I was so dumbfounded by him that I refused him, saying that this reward will only be given out after the competition is over. Teacher Zhang, you The students are so funny.”

Teacher Xiao Xie was also dumbfounded by Chen Yi's question.

After so many years of teaching, this was the first time he encountered such a thing.

But after Teacher Xiao Xie finished speaking, Teacher Zhang on the side hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Mr. Xiao Xie, maybe you don't know. This classmate Chen Yi in our class is a bit special. His family's conditions are not particularly good. My father and His mother left early, and he is the only one at home, with a sister who is two years younger than him..."

"No way."

Teacher Xiao Xie was stunned: "In other words, he is..."

"Ah."

Teacher Zhang nodded.

"I……"

Originally thought Chen Yi was joking when he asked him for 100 yuan.

result.

When Teacher Zhang told Teacher Xiao Xie about Chen Yi's situation.

After hearing this, Teacher Xiao Xie wanted to slap himself.

Perhaps for many people, 100 yuan may not be a big deal.

but.

For some people with difficult family conditions, sometimes 100 yuan is enough for several days.

Chen Yi's call just now was really not a joke.

"Teacher Zhang, why didn't you tell me earlier? You made me..."

Teacher Xiao Xie felt that he had done a very big mistake, which made him feel very uneasy.

"Teacher Xiao Xie, this is also my fault. I'll call Chen Yi and ask him about his current situation."

"Teacher Zhang, no, no, no, no, it's my fault for not asking clearly. I have a way, so I'll tell him."

Teacher Xiao Xie was so anxious that he quickly added Chen Yi's "WeChat" account according to the call he just made.

……

"what……"

Chen Yi was a little surprised when he saw the invitation for Teacher Xiao Xie in the note, and complained in his heart.

What do you want me to do?
You won’t give me even 100 yuan.

This is my money.

Although it is a bit early.

However, after thinking about it for a while, I finally agreed.

"Thank you, teacher, hello."

"Student Chen Yi, you are also welcome. I am only a few years older than you. Don't call me old. You can just call me Teacher Xiao Xie. I'm sorry, I didn't ask clearly. Regarding the promotion reward for this prose competition, Contestants can withdraw money at any time.”

talking.

Teacher Xiao Xie sent Chen Yi a red envelope worth 100 yuan.

"Oh, thank you."

Get it quickly.

This hand speed definitely does not exceed 1 second.

Teacher Xiao Xie was also shocked by Chen Yi's hand speed.

Has anyone received a red envelope so quickly?

However, that's not the point.

After Chen Yi received the 100 yuan red envelope from Teacher Xiao Xie, Teacher Xiao Xie transferred another 500 yuan red envelope.

"???"

Chen Yi felt a little strange: "Teacher Xiao Xie, what is this?"

"That's right. I think the article "The Feet of the Creeper" that you submitted for the competition was quite good. I happen to have a classmate who works as an editor at the "Literary Newspaper", so I took it upon myself to recommend your essay to him. Yes, he gave a quotation of 500 yuan for a thousand words. Look..."

"500 words per thousand, so high."

Chen Yi had some surprises.

To know.

Although he had written many articles before, the prices he offered were mostly 50 per thousand words and 100 per thousand words.

The price is 500 per thousand words.

In Chen Yi's words, if he was allowed to keep writing, he could write until the newspaper went bankrupt.

"Haha, you also wrote this essay well. Of course, if you don't want to publish it in the Literary Journal, then I will reject it."

"No, no, no, Teacher Xie, I agree. Thank you very much."

"Okay. In that case, you accept the red envelope first, and I will ask him to add you to WeChat later. If you have other articles in the future, you can send them to him."

"no problem."

Chen Yi nodded.

……

"Teacher Xie, I have it for you."

Teacher Zhang on the side gave Teacher Xiao Xie a thumbs up.

She could clearly see the situation just now.

Where is the manuscript fee of 500 per thousand words? It was clearly paid by Teacher Xiao Xie himself.

As for the purpose, he just wants to support Chen Yi.

In fact.

Teacher Zhang has done this before.But unfortunately, Chen Yi rejected it.

Teacher Zhang knows that although Chen Yi's family conditions are not good, his personal self-esteem is relatively high.

He would rather do odd jobs outside than accept funding from others.

The reason is that the funding is too obvious.

But Teacher Xiao Xie’s move is much smarter.

This kind of support not only prevents Chen Yi from discovering it, but also takes care of the other person's self-esteem.

I have to say that even Teacher Zhang, who has been teaching for decades, admires this approach.

"Teacher Zhang, I'm sorry, I just thought of it. However, Chen Yi's prose is really good. Even if it doesn't reach the level of 500 yuan per thousand words, it's probably about the same."

talking.

Teacher Xiao Xie took out his phone and called his old classmate Wang Jingbin.

"Old Wang, thank you very much."

"Xiao Xie, you kid, you haven't called me for a long time, what are you busy with?"

"You know, stay in school all the time."

"It's okay to stay in school, but I haven't gone back to my alma mater for a long time. By the way, you also know that I went to a literary newspaper. Your kid was also a good writer back then. You looked down on me, but you didn't even write an article. Me, or did you send it to other colleagues?”

"Old Wang, if I write something, I will naturally come to you first. But now that I am a teacher, I mostly teach, and I don't usually write much. However, when it comes to articles, I found something here A good idea. I’ll recommend his Wechat to you. If you chat with him later, I’ll definitely give you a surprise.”

"Really?"

"Nonsense, what I said is still false. Okay, class will start soon. I'll talk to you next time..."

I originally wanted to talk to my old classmate about the royalties for that manuscript.

But when the school bell rang, Teacher Xiao Xie suddenly forgot about it.

He forwarded Chen Yi's wechat to his old classmates, packed his books, and teacher Xiao Xie went to class.

……

"It seems that writing prose is more profitable."

After chatting with Teacher Xiao Xie, Chen Yi felt itchy.

In his previous life, he was a novelist and was used to writing novels.

I have always thought that only novels are profitable, and short stories are actually not very profitable.

But if each article is priced at 500 words per thousand words in the future, this is also a large sum of money.

Especially recently.

I have been writing a novel for most of the month. Although it has been published, I have not received the royalties.

This also made Chen Yi a little tight.

in this way.

Chen Yi entered his mind and flipped through the "Complete Collection of Chinese Prose" previously given by the system again.

But a pity.

In addition to the first chapter "The Feet of the Creeper", this complete collection shows that the other chapters have names but no content.

Chen Yi felt a headache after pressing his temples.Although these passages are classics, the main reason is that he cannot recite them all.

How about writing it yourself?

But writing Chen Yi by yourself can only guarantee your own level, which is about 50-100 words per thousand.

of course.

At this price, if you work hard and write a few more articles a month, you can still cover your living expenses.

But when I tried it at a price of 500 per thousand words, I felt a little helpless when it came to around 50-100 words per thousand words.

Moreover, I am guarding a huge treasure trove of literature from my previous life. If it is not transported properly, it will definitely be a huge loss.

Say.

Isn't this the main mission of the system?

If the main mission of the system is not completed, if this broken system wants to self-destruct again, it will be a big loss.

But Chen Yi had no choice now, so he picked up a collection of essays on the desk and flipped through it.

[System: If you read prose books, your prose writing experience will be +1. 】

what.

This prompt surprised Chen Yi.

Reading books can actually increase your writing experience.

Of course this is nonsense.

Precisely.

As long as you study hard, you will gain some writing experience.

But in the past, this kind of learning or reading was not obvious to him.

You don’t know whether you have gained more writing experience after studying.

But now the system prompts are simple and clear, reminding Chen Yi in a digital way.

[System: If you read prose books, your prose writing experience +1...]

[System: If you read prose books, your prose writing experience +1...]

After being prompted by the system, Chen Yi didn't say much and immersed himself in reading carefully.

three days later.

Chen Yi's prose writing experience reached 100.

And at this time.

Chen Yi found out.

The "Complete Collection of Chinese Prose" previously presented by the system showed the content of the second work.
