Chapter 151

Free for 27 days, about 055,555 words, not too much, not too little.

It was about to be published.

For a paid author, this was a path that he had to take, even though there would be a lot of criticism from those who stood on the moral high ground and disdain from readers who stood on the moral high ground.

But for a writer to continue walking down this path, to continue persevering, this was a necessary and crucial step.

Friends who have seen this, please don't stand on the moral high ground, stand on the moral high ground and attack me personally, and then point out that so-and-so, which work, which godly person, how many words, hasn't been published yet, hasn't been paid yet, and you're doing this and this.

Others are paying a fixed fee, according to how many words they publish each month, they get paid according to the contract. But for me, before my work is published, it means that I don't get a single cent.

I can imagine that many people who have seen this will show disdain and contempt, thinking in their hearts, "Talking about money is so vulgar. Trash author, trash work, I'm giving you face by reading your book, but you want to pay for it? Pooh!"

Cursing, contempt, mockery, disdain, followed by hysterical roars, saying that the author is useless, saying that his work is worse than trash, pointing out all kinds of examples, all kinds of bugs, and even implicating the author's family, ancestors, morals, and soul.

These people think that they are righteous, that they stand on the moral high ground, that they have noble sentiments, and that they will impose all kinds of negative emotions on you, making themselves comfortable, and making others uncomfortable.

If all of this can be resolved with a single sentence, it's fine as long as the work is free.

I'm giving you face by reading your book for free, but you still want money from me, that's your fault.

To such people, I can only say 'hehe' (Helpless laugh).

If you talk back at this time, then very well, you are a writer with no quality and no moral sentiments. They are giving you face by scolding you, but you talk back. With your quality, what can you write? Then you will be drowned in more saliva.

If you are a student who is still dreaming about how wonderful society is and how everything is developing according to your heart, then I have nothing to say. I hope that your dreams will come true. After all, students are carefree and do not need to consider more social problems, such as survival.

But if you are a person who has stepped into society, then I will not curse you, nor will I wish for you to lead a bad life. I only hope that you can experience the same thing as me. After working hard for a job, when you are about to ask for a salary, the boss will say, "What? You still want a salary? Don't you have any quality? Do you have any morals? Do you have any noble sentiment?

You're talking about money? That's so vulgar, so vulgar. Vulgar, you're so vulgar. Your whole family is vulgar. "

There were also some people who would say, "Bro, bro, I'm sorry, I don't have money, I can only watch pirated versions."

If you're using a computer to leave a message, I want to say that a person who can afford to go online can't even take out twenty or thirty cents a day.

If you're using a phone to leave a message, I want to say, "Friend, you're really rich. At least, you're richer than me. That's because your phone can go online and have data, while mine can only accept calls. Even sending text messages is very slow."

For someone who is poorer than you, don't you think that you can't bear to ignore the fruits of his labor and trample on the fruits of his labor?

There were also some people who, after reading pirated versions, would roar in the original book review section. If you're reading pirated versions and don't know where the original book is, that's understandable. But if you're reading pirated versions and still post in the original book review section, complaining that the author wrote all the wrong words and wrote all the rubbish.

Then I can only think that there's a problem with your nature. As a thief, you stole from others and still openly said, "What rubbish is this? It's so rubbish. Stealing it will dirty my hands."

Although there aren't many people like this, there are still some.

In my opinion, this is a group of people who are here to show off their presence. It's hard to imagine how an author would feel when they see a person who doesn't have any fan points discussing their VIP chapters in the book review section.

You say that you're supporting the author, but you're reading pirated versions. You're even acting like you're very familiar with the author and you're very supportive of him.

To give a common example, you're moving bricks at a construction site, working hard without complaint. When it's time to pay your salary, your boss says, "Kid, you did well. Continue to work hard. We need your enthusiasm." Then, he leaves and doesn't mention the salary at all because he doesn't intend to give you a salary.

After saying so much, there's actually only one sentence. My work is going to be published and I'm going to pay for it. I feel that my thousand words are worth thirty cents. I hope that everyone will support me, support the original book, support the author.

Thirty cents per thousand words. A chapter with more than three thousand words only costs nine cents. It's not even ten cents. If such ten cents were to fall on the ground, I'm afraid no one would pick it up. Nowadays, even things sold in small convenience stores start at fifty cents.

So, if you support the original book, you won't even get ten cents per chapter.

Here, I have to thank those friends who are reading the original book. In an era where pirated versions are everywhere and there are no laws explicitly stating that you're not allowed to read pirated versions, you've been silently supporting the original book and the author. You even have to endure the puzzled gazes of pirated readers and the curses behind your backs. You're the ones who are truly noble and have moral sentiments. You're the most lovable people in the world.

Alright, let's stop here. The words of gratitude have almost turned into words of complaint. I'm almost turning into a grumbling wife.

At the end of the chapter, I'd like to appeal to everyone to support the original book. As for those friends who want to read the pirated version, please leave quietly. I also hope that everyone won't flaunt your presence in my book review section. You're comfortable, but you're throwing all your negative emotions at the author. When the author is in a bad mood and can't write anything, you'll come and scold him. Stupid author, why aren't you updating?

Hehe, flaunting your presence. You'd better go and flaunt it to the great gods. They have good mental fortitude (Great gods, please don't mind it. Great gods, please don't be angry. Of course, the great gods can't see it). For people like me who are hovering on the edge of becoming a writer, who can't even guarantee food and clothing and who can fall into the abyss at any time, a scolding or personal attack might really make me fall into the abyss.

But a word of encouragement, a word of praise, may be able to make an author.

So, I implore those readers who are about to leave to leave quietly. I hope that those friends who are supporting the original book will continue to support me.

Thank you for reading this.
