Chapter 3 is completely triggered

"I understand. This book won the Bronfman Prize, the Sapir Prize, and the French Prime Minister's Literature Prize. I don't know what level these awards are, but they are definitely better than my writing."

While he was delighted, Gu Lu also thought, "Then how did I get touched again?"

Thinking back to my actions just now, picking up and putting down the piggy bank, there was no continuity with the previous ones - was it so random?
Gu Lu pondered to no avail, and opened the book. There were many stories in the book: a bus driver who wanted to become a god, a hole in the wall, a monument to hell, a womb, and smashing piglets...

"Wait, smashing the piglet - is that what I think?" Gu Lu found the most comfortable place in the house and lay down.

That is the black leather sofa in the bedroom. It is quite comfortable to lie on the sofa. Gu Lu and Ge You are lying there, reading a story in their mind.

A few minutes later, the confusion on Gu Lu's brow disappeared, and an expression appeared on his face, as if Conan's spiritual power was in control of everything.

"Smash the Piggy Bank" tells the story of a child and a piggy bank, and the piggy bank in the story happens to be in the shape of a piggy bank.

Then, Gu Lu read through all 22 stories and found the reasons that would be triggered at school.

Do you remember what the math teacher said when he scolded Fan Xiaotian?

"There are forty students in the class. If each of them waits for you for one minute, that's more than half an hour. Why don't you go back to your seat quickly?"

Original text of "The Bus Driver Who Wants to Become God" in the short story: If, for example, someone is late and opening the door for him only delays him by less than thirty seconds, and not opening the door means that the person will eventually lose fifteen minutes of his life (the bus runs every fifteen minutes), then it is still fairer to society as a whole not to open the door, because opening the door will cause each passenger on the bus to lose thirty seconds...

"If, for example, my father said to me, 'Stay where you are, I'm going to buy an orange,' that should also trigger 'Back View'."

Of course, the original body’s father wasn’t that good either.

Gu Lu concluded, "If I have something similar to the article, or if I witness certain behaviors that are similar to the plot in the work, it will be triggered."

"After two accumulations, you can get a book of the earth."

"I always feel like something is wrong..."

He frowned and thought, there is nothing new under the sun, there are more than thousands of books on earth, what content has not been written? Food, clothing, housing and transportation, anything should be able to trigger points, it will be very dense.

And today was the first time he was triggered after traveling through time for three days, which was unreasonable.

Gu Lu muttered several familiar opening lines from novels, including "Tomb robbing is not a dinner party, not writing an article, not painting a picture...", "Lu Feiming typed GG, and then exited the game", "Today, my mother died. Or maybe it was yesterday, I can't figure it out", etc.

"I am a sick person, I am a malicious person. I am an ugly person - it is not okay for me to say lines similar to those in the novel."

Gu Lu waited for a long time but didn't hear a beep. He understood in his heart, "There are other restrictions, but there are too few clues now, so I can only determine two rules for the time being."

[1. The content of the "inspiration" that flashes in my mind is not limited to what I have seen in my previous life.

2. Paragraphs similar to works need to be said by others and witnessed by the person concerned to be effective. (It is not clear whether there is a requirement for the number of people who can be “witnessed”.]
The above content was all thought through in Gu Lu’s mind, and no written records were left.

"You have to master this skill quickly, otherwise it will be too random. Take the book "The Bus Driver Who Wants to Be God" for example, I've never heard of it."

There is no doubt that it is well written. Gu Lu just glanced through it. No wonder it has columns in newspapers such as the New York Times and the Paris Review.

But "how can this improve my life?" Gu Lu pondered.

Then Gu Lu started thinking about how to make a profit from this work. It was a very natural and smooth idea. He was so shameless that he didn't even feel any guilt.

When on Earth, Gu Lu had fantasized, "WPS is already a mature WPS, why can't I type by myself?" "I'm writing for my defense, God, Allah, Buddha, Mazu, can you send me a USB drive full of masterpieces from another world?"...

Short story collections cannot be uploaded to novel websites. In 2013, Zhihu Yanxuan and WeChat public accounts have not developed yet, and there is no income!

Moreover, even if there is income, he does not have a computer at home. Although it is easy to find a black Internet cafe to access the Internet, he does not have enough money to support multiple Internet access.

While thinking about this, he took out his homework. It was not difficult to copy the test paper in class. It did not require any brainpower, so Gu Lu could do two things at the same time.

The handbag is Gu Lu’s schoolbag. Many students are like this, putting all their books in the desk drawers. Poor students even like to pile the books on the table like a mountain. This is the "trench" to avoid the teacher's gaze!
So he only needed to bring his homework home, and gave up the burden of a schoolbag, and used a handbag directly. The bag Gu Lu used was a Wuliangye liquor bag, and he had a lot of such bags at home, so he could never use them all up.

I took out my exercise books, papers, and other homework, and found something inside.

Looking closely, it was an extracurricular book called "Story Club".

In late November 2010, the price was 11 yuan.

The original body's memory and Gu Lu's idea were instantly connected -

There are three types of poor students: those who are poor at love, those who are poor at games, and those who are poor at novels. The first one is not absolute, because there are still students who can maintain their grades while dating.

Gu Lu and Fan Xiaotian are both the third category, poor students who love to read novels. They would occasionally go to the rental bookstore to rent books, paying a deposit of ten yuan and fifty cents or one yuan for a day's rent.

Fan Xiaotian's family conditions are better, but not much better. He doesn't have much money, so he has developed the habit of spending little money to do big things.

The current season's stories will cost four dollars each, but if you go to a used bookstall and buy past season's stock, they'll only cost one dollar.

After reading, the two people will exchange their ideas. What is this called? We face the constraints of the industry, give full play to our advantages in granularity, and learn from the alliance's experience in resource allocation to maximize the dissemination of knowledge.

Gu Lu opened the storybook with joy on his face.

"Yes, submit it to Story Club. It's an interesting short story. Story Club will definitely like it. I just don't know how much the payment will be."

Found the submission email:[email protected], but after reading the publication thoroughly, I didn't see any details about the royalties.

Soon Gu Lu discovered another thing: there were red and blue versions of "Story Club".

The red version is the digital version, which is more inclined towards Internet content and is released in the first half of the month. The blue version is the abstract version, which is slightly more cultural and is released in the second half of the month.

"The storytelling magazine is published twice a month. I thought it was a weekly magazine."

Gu Lu chose the blue version. The one he currently had in his hand was the digest version, in which he could see quite a few columns: 13 Jokes, New Legends, Rumors and Anecdotes, Overseas Stories, A P Series of Humorous Stories, etc.

"Then we must plan carefully..."

There are 22 articles in "The Bus Driver Who Wants to Be God", not all of them can be submitted. Although Gu Lu saw a smooth road to make money, he did not lose his mind.

Some stories are not suitable for his current identity and nationality. For example, "Shoes" tells the story about Nazis and Jews, and is written from a Jewish tone and perspective.

Even a genius needs to be aware of influence.

But some can be written as -

For example, Gu Lu really likes the story of "Good Heart". A killer receives a mission to assassinate the kindest person in the world. Who is the mastermind behind this...

In "The Hole in the Wall", "I" met an angel with wings, but in the end...

"Gift from Hell" tells the story of a woman who falls in love with the devil...

Does it sound like the tone of a marketing account?

The stories of Etgal Keret are mind-blowing and contain a hint of philosophy. The perspectives of these stories are unique and interesting.

Compared with the stories in "Story Club", it's not a world of difference, but it's also a dimensionality reduction attack.

If you insist, there's nothing wrong with the fact that the above strange story was written by a junior high school student with a rich imagination.

After all, the two peaks of human IQ and physical strength are the third year of junior high school and the third year of high school.
