Chapter 234 Is Gu Lu a Monster?
Chapter 234 Is Gu Lu a Monster? (5000 words)
Duanmu Sanlang is a powerful Internet troll who uses a keyboard to criticize current affairs, blame celebrities, and criticize policies. He is a one-to-ten person.
This time, he could have been invincible and went directly to the Yahoo forum. He took out the spirit of "this country is uneasy" and attacked Gu Lu.
But he insisted on reading "SF Magazine" first. The more he knew, the more loopholes he would find.
Two articles, a continuous series.
Six life planets created by God's civilization.
The final product, the Wealth Liquefaction Committee!
20 billion Gods, God abuse incident!
The author's imagination is like a speedboat, which is now at full speed, speeding through the ocean of science fiction.
The waves that were blown up were the shock in Duanmu Sanlang's heart.
He is an old reader of "SF Science Fiction" and has read at least eight hundred science fiction short stories, if not a thousand.
However, Gu Lu's two new works are among the best that Duanmu Sanlang has ever read.
Duanmu Sanlang sat there for a few seconds, then picked up the keyboard again and continued to criticize.
[Many people in our country are cultural traitors, they only bring in powerful enemies and oppress our own prodigies. The strongest high school student in history, Gu Lu, has come, making all high school students on this planet dim. This is an act that kills the confidence of our next generation. Xiangchuan Society and SF Science Fiction Magazine should bow to the public and apologize. The first to introduce a powerful enemy, Fuwenzhi, should commit suicide.]
Liu Cixin is well-known on Earth for his sci-fi novel The Three-Body Problem, but his sci-fi short stories are also world-class, with similar reviews to Gu Lu's.
Now, the haters have changed their angle.
"Supporting God" and "Supporting Humanity" are in neon, like the arrival of a little boy and a fat man.
Hot and fiery.
Most of the comments on the SF forum were positive: "Gu Lu is so awesome, let's look at the types of novels he is not good at, oh god he has no weaknesses!" "I am more looking forward to "The Prince at That Time", Gu Lu's two science fiction novels are the best in this issue" "The Support of Humankind" gave me a shocking feeling, as if I saw the works of Mr. Yasutaka Tsutsui back then."...
The greatest science fiction novel in Japan is undoubtedly "Neon Sinks". As for science fiction short stories, Bungeishunju ranked the five greatest ones. Yasutaka Tsutsui's satirical science fiction novel "Everything But Neon Sinks" is one of them. I'll talk about the other four when I have time.
Just know that this is the highest praise from Japanese science fiction readers.
The Maintenance series was published in China’s “Science Fiction World”, and “Maintaining Humanity” became even more popular.
But in Japan, the discussion about supporting God has surpassed that of supporting a class of human beings.
The main reason is that Japan has its own national conditions.
[“My eyes were filled with tears. ‘Supporting God’ brought tears to my eyes. When God chose to leave and no longer be supported by humans, I cheered in my heart.” This is what the reporter told us when interviewing 62-year-old Mr. Nakai.
The book says: "We are leaving not because of how you treat us. We are satisfied that you have taken us in. But there is one thing that makes it impossible for us to stay. That is: God has become a group of old poor creatures in your eyes. You pity us. You actually pity us."
"How can God's civilization make people feel pity? You have no idea what a great civilization it is, and how many magnificent epics and majestic miracles it has created in the universe! Remember that was the 1857th era of the Milky Way? Astronomers discovered that a large number of stars accelerated their movement toward the center of the Milky Way. Once this flood of stars is swallowed by the super black hole at the center of the Milky Way, the radiation produced will destroy everything in the Milky Way... The civilization is old now, but it is not our fault. No matter how hard we try to avoid it, a civilization will always grow old. Everyone will grow old one day, and so will you. We really don't need your pity."
The former glory of God’s civilization was brighter than the sun in the sky.
The frequent incidents of abandonment of the elderly in my country have attracted attention from many parties.
These old people, like God's civilization, have given everything for the progress of our country.
Why are they treated like this?
After his wife died, Mr. Nakai raised three children alone, and now none of his three children are willing to support him.
In the middle of the Showa era, Mr. Nakai participated in the construction of several buildings in Ginza. He once climbed the tallest building in Ginza before anyone else and looked down at everything in Tokyo...]
Kyushu prodigy Katsudane Maru put down the Asahi Shimbun with a dull expression. The following content was a discussion about the aging of society, which did not interest him.
He also read Gu Lu's two articles, and Shengduo Neimaru had only one thought in his mind:
"Do I really want to fight a monster like this?"
Monster, indeed a monster.
Japan is aging rapidly, and "Supporting God" hits the mark.
A day or two after SF Magazine was on the market, many print media took the opportunity to join in the discussion.
As the topic became more popular, subsequent discussions were even broadcast on television, with experts invited to analyze the issue of “elderly care”.
Of course, the two keywords, Gu Lu and "Supporting God", did not appear on TV together.
If we want to deeply analyze Japanese social problems, it would be impolite to mix in foreigners.
"Gu Lusang has become a fuse. The local TV station is so rude." Yasuda Kazuma (pen name Junji Ito) muttered to himself after watching the news.
“Not every work can become the trigger for a social problem,” Kyogoku Natsuhiko said. “Supporting God is more like a warning letter to developed countries.”
There was wine and fried food on the small square brown table in the middle of the tatami, and Yasuda and Kyogoku were having a party.
Yasuda Kazuma nodded, "Although Gu Lusang lives in a developing country, the perspective of a genius will not be limited by the environment in which he grew up."
"Who is the translator for "SF Science Fiction"? " Kazukuma Yasuda suddenly asked.
"I don't know him," Kyogoku Natsuhiko said, "but the person who translated The Little Prince seems to be a full-time editor of Xiangdensha."
Kyogoku Natsuhiko is different from Yasuda Kazukuma. The latter does not have the courage to submit his work at all, so he has to rely on "confidence".
Kazukuma Yasuda's gratitude to Gu Lu came from the bottom of his heart, but even if Kyogoku Natsuhiko's "One Hundred Tales of the Alley" was influenced by the works of Owl Man and Flower Bento, there was no need to make such a big fanfare.
To sum up, Kyogoku Natsuhiko is more of a "hit on the popularity"; look, the sales of "Hyaku Tales from the Alley" are very good.
"Should we invite an editor?" Kyogoku Natsuhiko blurted out.
"What?" Yasuda Kazuma didn't understand.
"By inviting the translator and editor of The Little Prince, we can also take care of each other," said Natsuhiko Kyogoku.
He ambitiously initiated the World Monster Conference, but his influence cannot be said to be zero, it is also zero squared.
Kyogoku Natsuhiko realized that fighting alone would not be effective.
"What are you looking after?" Yasuda Kazuma asked, "We don't know who it is either."
"I have acquaintances at Xiangchuanshe," said Kyogoku Natsuhiko. "Every literary editor has a dream of becoming a writer. I have learned a lot of new things by translating Mr. Gu Lu's works, and maybe others have too. We have all been influenced by Mr. Gu Lu, so naturally we should help each other."
Helping each other is fake. What is real is that Kyogoku Natsuhiko wants to create a network of people with "Gu Lu" as the core.
"Yasuda, don't forget the kindness of Teacher Gu Lu! Forgetting the kindness is equivalent to abandoning the past." Kyogoku Natsuhiko began PUA.
It was necessary to get Yasuda Kazuma to agree, because since his debut, his popularity has skyrocketed, and within four or five months, a TV station had already purchased the copyright. The currently serialized "Tomie Series" manga even ranked first in the popularity vote of "Christmas Magazine".
"Of course I won't forget Gu Sang," Yasuda Kazuma said immediately, "You are right, we really need to help each other!"
Randomly, the two of them also gave the organization a name "Gu Lu Translation Association", which is easy to understand.
There are many such organizations in Japan, such as the Shin Honkakukai developed from the Kyoto University Mystery Club, and the trend has even swept the entire Japanese mystery world.
At present, the Gu Lu Translation Club has a much worse start than the New Original Translation Club...
Most of the time, associations are organized for their own benefit, and Kyogoku Natsuhiko is no exception to this rule.
Yesterday he was interviewed by Bungeishunju. Regarding the interview with Gu Lu, the question was: What kind of person is Gu Lu?
There is no way. There are too few people in Japan who are familiar with the strongest high school student in history. Kyogoku Natsuhiko, who served as a translator during the serialization period of MM magazine and had email exchanges with him, is the most familiar person.
"Don't care about age. Mr. Gu Lu's observations on human nature and society as a whole transcend age. Mr. Gu Lu's works are all very new. To put it more bluntly, Mr. Gu Lu is a pioneer!" Kyogoku Natsuhiko knows how to praise people.
The commotion in other countries did not affect Gu Lu's early rise the next day.
People's memories are fickle - Gu Lu remembered to bring the Harry Potter series of books to school early in the morning, but forgot to check whether the flashlight he tied to the telephone pole was still there.
"Harry Potter? I like it very much." My desk mate said immediately after seeing it.
"Speak softly, the teacher may hear you." said Gu Lu.
It is forbidden to bring this kind of books. If students really need to read extracurricular books, they can borrow books from the school library.
Are you still afraid of the teacher? Having seen the "privileges" of the privileged class, Qi Caiwei didn't believe a word of it.
"Why bring it to school if you're afraid of being discovered?" Qi Caiwei asked.
Gu Lu lowered his voice and said, "The activity center lacks decorations, so bring it here and put it aside."
"It lacks a little decoration..." Qi Caiwei changed the subject, "Who said that? It turns out that the vice president of the publication is a woman?"
What's going on? Gu Lu's face was filled with confusion.
"Isn't it?" Qi Caiwei laughed dryly to hide her embarrassment.
She explained, "Generally boys don't care about these details." "What does it have to do with the vice president?" Gu Lu denied. The person who said that the club cabinet was a little empty was indeed not Li Guyuan or Gu Lu.
"CC, I have a more serious question. Can we talk about it at our usual place?" Gu Lu said.
"It's more serious?" Qi Caiwei said carefully, "Can we not go?"
Qi Caiwei has a psychological trauma when it comes to serious topics, and the main reason is her mother, who often talks to her daughter, under the pretext of discussing the future.
In fact, she just repeated over and over again that her own arrangement is the best for her daughter at this stage!
"No." Gu Lu said.
"Okay..." Qi Caiwei didn't dare to refute, but she had other little ways of revenge, such as writing the book review in a worse handwriting to add some reading difficulties to Gu Lu.
After class, Gu Lu and Qi Caiwei arrived at the old place one after another.
The old place was the corner of the corridor where neither the sunlight nor the teacher’s eyes could reach.
"Ahem, I didn't offend you." Qi Caiwei started, "I didn't do anything bad."
"You said before that you would be happy if you knew nothing." Gu Lu got straight to the point, "Do you prefer to know nothing, or to occasionally have your own opinions?"
This question made the smile disappear from Qi Caiwei's face. She did not respond and remained silent.
One minute, two minutes...
"Is it difficult to answer?" Gu Lu was getting a little anxious waiting.
"It's not difficult to answer, I just think this question is useless." Qi Caiwei said, "Because once you start thinking, it's impossible to stop."
The implication is that even if she likes it and doesn't want to think about anything, she can't go back.
Who gave me the courage to help Qi Caiwei make this irreversible choice that would affect her whole life? Gu Lu thought.
"It's not important." Gu Lu felt a little guilty, because according to Qi Caiwei's family and following the arrangements made by Qi's mother, she should have a bright future life.
"That's all."
"Ok."
The atmosphere was not very harmonious.
When people are upset and cannot solve the root cause of their upset, their fingers can't stop.
Anyway, that’s what Gu Lu did and he started spinning the pen.
Speaking of which, how good can the pen spinning of the pen spinning king Tian Xiao be?
He lost the National Pen Spinning Competition a year ago. Will he compete again next year? Gu Lu's mind was full of thoughts.
"Tian Xiao, could you please tell me what 廖郭 means and what's the radical of your 广?" Teacher Gao called on the name.
It should be "Liaokuo". Gu Lu felt that this typo was extremely wrong, because generally typos were either one extra horizontal line or one missing vertical line. This one was quite special.
Tian Xiao is the undisputed king of spelling mistakes in the class.
The kind where we can’t control the child even if we invite the parents. Last time we invited the parents, Tian’s mother said helplessly, “This child has been careless since elementary school, and we parents can’t do anything about it.”
Obviously, Tian's mother seemed to have given up, but Teacher Gao would still point it out every time.
"I still prefer to think in a tangled way. I think therefore I am. Hehe, that makes me look smart."
Qi Caiwei was on her way to the cafeteria after school at noon. She suddenly took two steps at a time, jumped behind him, and patted Gu Lu on the shoulder.
"Hmm?" Gu Lu said, "Didn't you say that this problem is no longer important?"
"It's not important to me, but I feel like it's a little important to you." After saying this, Qi Caiwei walked past Gu Lu and went to the cafeteria to get food.
It is very important. This answer made Gu Lu eat two more taels of rice at noon.
After finishing his meal, Gu Lu casually put the complete set of Harry Potter books in the club office.
Standing at a distance and looking at it, it is not bad! It is more pleasing to the eye than before.
The day before yesterday, Zhou Lin was reciting something in the small garden at noon when he was met by Gu Lu, who then took him to the community office.
Then the girl with super strength pointed out that there was no book on the cabinet, it was bare.
During the remaining lunch break, Gu Lu started typing "Flat Country" in the community office.
In just one afternoon, there were several thousand words.
If people tell others about this typing speed, countless clumsy authors will be envious to death!
Let’s talk about the afternoon break.
"Brother Gulu, the anime "Kuroko's Basketball" has been introduced by Sohu Video. Will our content be included?" Lu Ping excitedly went to find Gu Lu.
"No, we are only appearing in a special episode. Unless we introduce comics, forget it." Gu Lu responded.
"Can't we move at all?" Lu Ping sighed.
Compared with comics and anime, it is indeed not as exciting as before.
"It's possible if we make an OVA or an animated movie." Gu Lu said casually.
In the previous life, it seemed that there was a movie of "Kuroko's Basketball".
Gu Lu didn't know the specific situation.
"OVA, I think this is very likely, hehe." No one knew what Lu Ping was imagining in his mind, but he was smiling very happily.
Fortunately, Lu Ping doesn’t understand Japanese.
Otherwise, if he saw the discussion below the Yahoo Sports Forum, wouldn’t he be so happy?
[Question: If the No. 8 Middle School basketball team plays against our school team, who will win?]
"This question is ridiculous. High school students and college students are not in the same league in terms of physical fitness. How can they be compared? Don't just read a two-dimensional basketball comic and talk nonsense. Come and discuss three-dimensional things."
"If the two-dimensional world is adapted from the three-dimensional world, we can discuss it. I feel that the university team may not win. Let's just reduce the scenes in the comics by ten times. Gu Lu and Lu Ping are also powerful."
"Gu Lu's ability is mainly in the coaching position, arranging troops and formations. If both sides have professional coaches, Gu Lu's advantage will be gone in reality. But power forward Lu Ping is strong, good at buzzer beaters, and has a big heart. I feel that even the ace of the university team can't stop him."
"Those who take cartoons as reality are fools."
"Fools love to call others fools. Didn't you see it? The comic author said it was adapted based on the original character!"
Wait for discussion.
Chinese universities, such as Qinghuan, Peking University, Fudan University, and Zhejiang University, are also well-known in Japan.
This is normal. Famous universities in various countries are somewhat famous worldwide. For example, Japan's University of Tokyo and Waseda University are also quite famous.
But is anyone paying attention to this in high schools in various countries?
No, who would pay attention to this.
There is no doubt that, by chance, Fog City No. 8 Middle School is the first high school in China to become famous in Japan.
Gu Lu, the starting point of coincidence, found Director Hu.
"Director Hu, you..." Gu Lu hesitated to speak.
"I had an allergic reaction to yam at noon," Director Hu said indignantly. "I've seen mashed potatoes, but I've never seen mashed yam. The school cafeteria is innovative, but the innovation team is just messing around."
“……” Gu Lu was professional and he held back his laughter.
Director Hu already has small eyes, and now his upper and lower eyelids are swollen, so opening his eyes is almost the same as closing them.
"This allergy is quite serious. Director Hu, do you want to take a leave and go to the hospital?" Gu Lu asked.
"After taking the medicine, the swelling will go down in a while. Forget about asking for leave. We still have a lot of things to do at school." Director Hu said, "We need to keep a close eye on the outstanding students in each junior high school, otherwise they will be snatched away by other schools if we are not careful."
That’s right, it’s April now, which is the time when enrollment work begins.
Not knowing whether Gu Jiayu could pass the exam, Gu Lu suddenly thought of his sister.
"What does Gu Lu want me to do?" Director Hu asked, "Another article has been published?"
