Chapter 434 "End"

"Time capsule - this thing is useless." Li Guyuan said, "I saw them discussing it in the class group before, but I was not interested, so I didn't go back to get it. Gulu, you didn't bring it with you, did you?"

Looking at the other person's eyes, Tang Yuan understood and said, "I don't remember what I wrote before."

“Can we watch it together? I’ll record it while we’re at it.” Gu Lu made it clear that he would post it on Bilibili.

Li Guyuan agreed immediately, "Is your B site still being updated? I remember you interviewed me when I was in high school. Is that true?"

"That's right."

When handing the envelope to the other party, Gu Lu also showed that it was sealed very well and had never been opened.

Witnessed by the camera, Li Guyuan began to unpack. His movements were very casual at first, like tearing a courier carton. When he took out the letter paper, his movements became much gentler, and it became like he was unpacking a figurine box.

[Three questions:
1. Have you worked hard in the chemical competition?

2. Is Naruto finished?
3. Have you sold our grocery store? ］

Tang Yuan was dazed, as if he was hit by a bullet from seven or eight years ago, but he didn't want to show his true feelings, so he subconsciously covered it up with a smile and curse, "It's so stupid, even such a small matter as whether the Hokage is finished or not is recorded in it."

"I haven't watched Naruto in the past few years. It seems to have ended a few years ago, but the animation seems to be still being broadcast?" Li Guyuan said to Gu Lu.

"Then do you want to write down the answer?" Gu Lu prepared a pen.

"Write...it's okay to write." Li Guyuan changed the subject and wanted to say write an ashtray.

I wrote the first answer very quickly. Although I didn’t work hard enough in the chemistry competition, I was admitted to my dream school. So I wrote the first one with a clear mind.

[No more chasing.

not yet……]
The last question made Li Guyuan pick up his pen and then put it down again, unable to finish writing.

Without waiting for Gu Lu to ask, he took the initiative to explain, "What I want to complete the most is actually this one."

"Our grocery store looks easy, but it actually takes up a lot of time and requires constant attention. My mother spends most of her time there. She used to have many hobbies, but she gave them all up because she wanted to open a store," said Li Guyuan. "When I was in junior high school, I signed up to learn jazz dance. But later I felt that my mother was sacrificing her own hobbies to support mine, so I stopped going."

That’s why Li Guyuan has always had a goal, which is to earn enough money so that his parents can pursue their own interests, and the grocery store naturally has to be sold.

"Come to think of it, I am also an unsteady person..." Li Guyuan braked his emotions, "I won't show any unnecessary negative emotions in front of the camera. The time capsule is almost finished recording. Speaking of which, I am very curious about what you wrote, Gulu."

Gu Lu told Li Guyuan the three questions he had written, and Li Guyuan's mind was full of question marks.

"So a genius writer is worthy of being a genius writer? I don't understand two of the three questions. Celebrating double birthdays every year? Life is not a game. We must get used to this world completely?" Li Guyuan looked at the other party, hoping that he could explain it briefly.

Seeing that the other party didn't explain, Tang Yuan guessed, "Do you mean to make up for it? I remember that you asked for two small bowls of longevity noodles for your birthday last year."

Another Tangyuan also thought of the answer. He knew about Gu Lu's childhood. Gu Lu must have been very lonely when he was young, and no one cared about him. Generally speaking, in this situation, people will either rebel to seek a sense of existence or become depressed. Gu Lu's case is not typical, and he feels that the world is fake.

Now that he had thought of the answer, Li Guyuan didn't want his friend to recall his tragic experience, so he changed the subject.

"Can we turn off the recording and go eat something?" Li Guyuan said, "By the way, do you know what Qi Caiwei wrote in the time capsule? Can we have some barbecue today?"

Tang Yuan also pursued the class beauty Qi Caiwei when he was young, so he subconsciously wanted to know. But he quickly stopped talking. Li Guyuan wanted to slap himself in the face. Why didn't he think before speaking?

Qi Caiwei went to the Bear Country since high school and has been developing there ever since. Li Guyuan feels that something is wrong...

In the end, the two of them went to eat barbecue, and it was the dumplings that paid.

Even though Gu Lu is financially independent, Li Guyuan believes that friends don't have to care who pays for the meal, so it can't be that one person pays all the time.

It’s a bit confusing, but I think you can understand what Tangyuan means, right?

After they had eaten, they went home separately. Gu Lu was going back to his single apartment at Peking University, so they were going in completely opposite directions.

Li Guyuan didn't drink any alcohol, he just had a bloated stomach, but his mind was still clear, so he took the subway home.

After getting off the subway station, he can also buy something on the way. There is a small shopping district downstairs where he rents a house, including Sanlian Bookstore, and Li Guyuan is going to buy two books to read. After all, he is currently a part-time writer, switching from the track of beautiful articles to the track of science fiction.

I once used Gu Lu's idea to write a science fiction novel called "Robot Singer", which tells the story of how big data music is getting worse and worse, and it made him a little famous. So writing science fiction short stories can still make a living.

There is a giant poster at the entrance of the bookstore, which is more like a message wall to be more precise, where customers can leave messages.

The problem is——

[Who is the most famous writer in China today? Please explain why it is Gu Lu.]
"Okay, okay. Is this question a straightforward one?" Li Guyuan looked at the reason written in marker on it.

"Because he is kind", "He writes books quickly", "He wrote the Little Prince", "He is as handsome as me"...

Most of them were filled out randomly, and there were not many serious ones. Tangyuan searched around and found a long one: [I don’t know if he is the most famous. I only know that my uncle’s surname is Che, and he named his child Che Gu Lu, hoping that the child would become a great writer when he grows up.]
There are many talented people, which also shows that people who come to the bookstore have no doubts about the saying "most famous". Li Guyuan sighed before entering the store and bought two books to go home.

Finish the rest of the work and then read the book——

But after the work, Tangyuan was exhausted physically and mentally, his brain seemed to be closed, and knowledge could not enter at all. He just wanted to watch some short videos that did not require much brainpower.

The more you watch short videos, the more boring they become.

As he was browsing, Li Guyuan for some unknown reason searched for "Naruto".

I don't remember where I gave up, so I just randomly clicked on an episode. I skipped the opening and ending credits, and after more than ten minutes, Li Guyuan frowned, "Why isn't it as good as before?"

I couldn't get into it. If I didn't watch it patiently, I wouldn't be able to finish a single episode. It's not that I forgot the plot, but Li Guyuan could associate a lot of it with it.

After sitting there for a while and reminiscing about the past, he took out the time capsule. Li Guyuan took a pen and crossed out the previous answer and changed it to "Finished".

His Naruto Shippuden has ended and there will never be a sequel.

On the other hand, Gu Lu did not waste time in the bookstore, but went straight home, copied the video to the computer, and then recorded it in a short video.

Gu Lu's English is pretty good, and he spoke fluently at first, but later...

"I have no problem with English, and my Japanese is just so-so, but Korean and Malay are really hard to learn." Gu Lu started to study English in high school, mainly for the sake of earning money in Europe and America. Now he has no problem with ordinary conversations. So the thank-you video for Lion City went smoothly.

From the New World is available in five versions: Chinese, English, Malay, Japanese and Korean. The best translations are the English and Japanese versions, because there are many professionals in this field.

The English version that was banned in Europe and the United States and circulated on the Internet is the version released in Lion City.

Although the market in Singapore is small, even a small mosquito is still meat, let alone a country, and its status in Asia is quite high. Yao Xiaoju believes that the reputation in Singapore can be cultivated with care.

It was already one o'clock in the morning when all five videos were recorded. Gu Lu was no longer sleepy, so he turned on his computer and started typing away.

After writing the beginning, Gu Lu's attention turned to other places and he couldn't sit still.

He started cleaning the computer's disk.

Anyway, Gu Lu was very alert and alert at the moment, and he turned to an unexpected document, "This manuscript——"

"I have actually typed out Mr. Toad's book." Gu Lu glanced through it and recalled it carefully. It seemed normal, just a novella of about 40,000 to 50,000 words.

The previous cheese of the same length had also been coded in full long ago. It is arrogant to be a plagiarist, especially for this kind of work that does not need to be modified.

That night, Gu Lu didn't fall asleep until after 3 o'clock. The next day, he had something to do, and the alarm clock rang around 9 o'clock, waking him up from his dream.

Then, his head felt like it was filled with paste, and Gu Lu felt dizzy and heavy.

"It's just a little late night, not even all night, but I'm already like this. In the past, I could stay up for two days in a row, but I was still full of energy." Gu Lu forced himself to report to Professor Lu.

People come and go in the school. Professor Lu is the head of the Chinese Department and he has been to his office many times.

"'From the New World' is a very good book. The teacher will take advantage of you and donate 1000 copies to the Chinese language promotion project," said Professor Lu.

Hmm? Wait, something seems wrong. Gu Lu said, "Donate to the Chinese language promotion project?"

"Didn't you also participate in the Chinese Language Teaching Heroes project? Both are branch projects of the country to promote Chinese language and Chinese culture overseas." Professor Lu said, "Your new work has been very popular in Southeast Asia recently. As the project leader, I'm taking advantage of you and decided to use From the New World as a recommended book."

What kind of advantage is that? Professor Lu is clearly giving away opportunities! The promotion of Chinese overseas is a project that the government has been continuously exporting. From the New World has become one of the recommended books for Chinese overseas. Just thinking about the benefits of this in the future is numerous.

But this is a popular novel from the new world, isn't it a bit? Gu Lu told the professor about his concerns.

"The standardization and use of Chinese is another matter. The purpose of recommending books is to make them attractive and attractive to readers," said Professor Lu. "The performance of From the New World is very suitable."

Now I understand that, unlike the recommended reading lists for primary and secondary schools, the recommended reading lists for promoting Chinese overseas are more about "promotion", while the former is to improve students' reading level and knowledge reserves.

"Besides, Xiao Gu, you are different from other writers. The country must agree with it. As for what people in the circle say, let them say it. If you can't eat grapes, you will naturally say that the grapes are sour." Professor Lu said.

"Are a thousand books enough?" Gu Lu asked.

"That's more than enough," said Professor Lu.

To be honest, if there are benefits, we must take care of our own people, and if Gu Lu didn't have such good connections with the official side, it wouldn't be possible even if he recommended it.

Coming out of the director's office, Gu Lu turned around and told President Jian the news. President Jian waved his hand and said that the donation would be made directly in the name of the publishing house.

There was good news when he came to school, and Gu Lu's mind became much clearer.

I had lunch in the school cafeteria. I have eaten in the cafeterias of Tsinghua University, Peking University and Beijing Film Academy. I would like to make a small comment. The cafeteria of Beijing Film Academy is the best, especially the beef in sour soup is really good!
In the afternoon, a middle-aged man named Sha visited him at school. He didn't look like a reporter or a self-media.

After introducing himself, he called himself a writer and promoter of traditional culture.

His identity as a writer is solid and verifiable. He has written three or four best-selling books (5 copies), with the highest sales reaching copies.

At the same time, he is committed to promoting Hanfu culture.

"Why do you have to put my name on it?" Gu Lu looked at the middle-aged man in front of him in surprise. He seemed to have nothing to do with this matter at all.

"…because if Teacher Gu is willing to be named as a member, or take the lead, then the Hanfu Culture Promotion Association can be established." Sha Tong said.

According to Sha Tong, the country only allows the establishment of city-level Hanfu Cultural Associations, and provincial and higher-level ones will not pass the review.

The reason for this is that there is already an Association for Promoting Chinese Traditional Culture, and this association has a Hanfu Promotion Branch, but... its role is too small.

This is a nice way of saying it. To say it again in an impolite way, it's like occupying the toilet without doing anything.

Sha Tong started tinkering with this matter in 2009, but failed over and over again, so he decided to take advantage of the situation.

And why is it Gu Lu's tiger skin?
"According to what you said, you got the chairman of the Guangdong Writers Association to join the game, but all the previous ones failed." Gu Lu asked doubtfully, "Can I succeed if I join?"

"Teacher Gu Lu, please don't underestimate yourself. Your chances of success are very close to 100%. Moreover, Teacher Gu once wrote a great article titled "Why China has national self-confidence", which is enough to prove that Teacher Gu has studied Hanfu." Sha Tong said, "Everything is ready, except Teacher Gu."

It’s a bit exaggerated. Gu Lu wants to scratch his head. It’s so itchy. Oh no, is it possible that he is growing a brain?
"Let me think about it first. Joining an association is not a small matter. I need to think about it in detail." Gu Lu said. His mind was a little slow today. Of course, he would not agree to anything casually. He would go home and call Brother Guo to discuss it.

"No problem, Teacher Gu, I really want to, take your time, I've been waiting for ten years." Sha Tong said, "I can make a table of what the association will do if it is established and send it to you, Teacher Gu."

"The Hanfu in current film and television dramas cannot be in shape, and there are many Japanese styles. We must boycott it!" Sha Tong couldn't help but say out the current more urgent plan.

"Okay, I'll think about it." Gu Lu nodded.

"Then Teacher Gu Lu, have you had dinner? I'd like to treat you to a meal?" Sha Tong said again.

"No, I didn't sleep well last night and I'm going home to rest." Gu Lu refused.

It was indeed true. After saying goodbye to Sha Tong, Gu Lu did not return to school, but took an online taxi to go home.

In the car——

Oh, by the way, I almost forgot to check if there is any secondary creation on Bilibili. Gu Lu, who was dizzy in the car, suddenly had an idea in his rotten brain, which added driving force to his body. Gu Lu turned on his mobile phone.

He likes to search for himself on Weibo and follow his own post bar, but he has never searched for himself on Bilibili. Let's take a look at what these B friends have done...
