Chapter 131 New Ideas (Third Update)
Qu Jianlei made sure that his idea was OK and started coding the article.
However, there are also many problems here, such as... the standardization of format and writing! When Qu Jianlei was in Blue Star, he really appeared in top journals. After he became famous, the queue for journals to request manuscripts was very long.
At that time, format and writing were not important. As long as it was his article, top journals were rushing to get it.
But he really has not forgotten how demanding the requirements of top journals were when he first submitted articles to journals.
When he was paying attention to the journal, the opponent blocked him lifelessly.
When he didn't care anymore, more people came up to the pole to beg him to write something.
Most of them come directly to the door with cash - nothing is immune to the unpredictable situation.
Wasteland Qu Jianlei has read a lot of journals here, and I must admit that they also talk about format and writing.
But he read the films... he read countless of them, he could feel them, and the format was not very strict.
After all, it was Wasteland after Doomsday. The talent was withering, and many popular science articles were even published in many journals.
Popular science articles, Qu Jianlei didn't bother to write them – we went there for the subsidy, we couldn't afford to lose that person!
But for professional articles, in addition to the standard format and writing, there is another problem - professional terminology! The language and characters of Wasteland are actually a bit strange. Most of them are phonetic, somewhat similar to alphabetic languages.
But there are still quite a few that are ideographic and even superficial, and it feels like a hodgepodge.
But here at Wasteland, these three have reached a perfect integration, which makes people feel... a little confused.
Qu Jianlei didn't dwell on this. He felt that it was normal for the civilization tree to grow a little crooked during its development.
But the professional terminology still made him a little confused.
I originally thought I could write it in one day and perfect the format in one day, but now I had to spend three days.
He roughly calculated that this article Buduo would take up more than four pages, and if it was less than five pages, he felt... it was a bit small.
If it were sent to a journal with a subsidy of 20 Silver Coin per page, it would still be less than 100 Silver Coin.
I have earned this amount after three days of work, which is really a bit speechless.
But Qu Jianlei really likes to make money like this, and this is what he is best at.
So he could only say to himself: Once he becomes familiar with how to write journals and his reputation spreads, it will be much easier to make money.
He just finished writing the article, but before he could ask Bentley to help deliver it, the old man introduced him to another business.
Bentley has recently been on the right track in his cultivation. He is busy purchasing various resources in large quantities and is particularly concerned about making money.
This order is to test the fresh air system. Previously, Qu Jianlei and Defense Corps repaired the mecha for almost free, which made the old man a little unhappy.
Qu Jianlei could only follow him. Although his appearance had been exposed, he still wore a mask.
Interestingly, he met the maintenance personnel of the system supplier at the customer's gate.
He didn't pay attention at first, but the man kept staring at him with obvious malice in his mood.
This emotion even caught the attention of Bentley.
He looked sideways and recognized the other person. After all, this person had been repairing the fresh air system recently.
But he ignored it. Even if the other party was born Central City, so what? How dare he bite his tongue at Ultimate Warrior? However, their ignorance completely angered each other. The one stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "You stole our job!"
Bentley glanced at him indifferently, not even bothering to argue, "So what?"
This person's face suddenly turned red, "Ultimate Warrior, we have one at home too!"
It turned out that he didn't know that the other party killed a Ultimate Warrior, but he still couldn't swallow this breath.
Bentley waved his hand and replied impatiently, "Then let him come... A little guy like you, stay away!"
For such an expensive system, the profits are sky-high. It is impossible to say that there is no strong support behind it.
But how many Central City and Ultimate Warrior are there in total? So he ignored the other party at all.
For this small amount of money, I risked my life and came to fight Residential Area below... are you crazy?
His arrogant attitude made the other party more and more angry, but at the same time, he also completely calmed down.
For such a small matter, do you need Ultimate Warrior to come forward? Moreover, a Ultimate Warrior seems not enough.
Qu Jianlei's test this time was also very smooth. It took Buduo half a day, and then Collect Money left.
The maintenance man was still waiting outside, but they ignored him.
What Bentley cares about is, "Look, I can make hundreds of dollars in half a day Silver Coin... Isn't it delicious?"
Qu Jianlei looked at him helplessly, "Hou Jing How many systems of this kind are there in total?"
Bentley snorted, "Four Capitals and One Metropolis... Isn't it enough for you?"
Qu Jianlei didn't even look at him and spoke directly, "First of all, I'm too lazy to run. Time is not wasted like this..."
"Secondly, do you really want to provoke Ultimate Warrior on the opposite side?"
Bentley was stunned for a while and stopped talking. It took a long time before he muttered in a low voice.
"Back then, I really didn't take Ultimate Warrior seriously. The longer I live, the more I go back."
"The main thing is that you can practice now," Qu Jianlei said calmly, "Back then you were barefoot, but now you have shoes on."
Bentley was silent for a long time before sighing softly, "Every gain must have a loss."
After the two returned to the courtyard, Qu Jianlei suddenly came up with another idea, "I can write another article."
This time he wrote about the improvement method of geothermal heating, which is combined with the characteristics of fresh air system.
Because he focuses more on practicality, he wrote this article very smoothly.
It only took two days to write the article, and then he handed the two articles to Bentley and asked him to go to the city and give them to Dai Xingyan.
President Dai almost cried when he saw the manuscript, "I finally remembered and agreed to submit it to me!"
After briefly looking through the manuscript, she was a little stunned, "Well... why didn't he send it over by himself?"
Qu Jianlei is currently busy helping Hua Xiezhi calculate the exercises, and he simply cannot control himself.
But Bentley would not say this. He said that Jian Lei did not have the identity of Hou Jing and could not enter the city.
"What a big deal, I'll give him a pass!" Dai Xingyan said that this is not a problem.
However, Bentley refused, "If he wanted to enter the city, why couldn't he get the certificate? He is not interested in socializing."
"This is really difficult to handle," Dai Xingyan frowned in distress, "These two articles... I want to communicate with him."
Despite her young age, her theoretical level of mechanical maintenance is not bad.
In similar industry associations, if one's own strength is not strong enough, no matter how powerful the family is, it is impossible to convince the public.
But she really couldn't fully understand Qu Jianlei's thinking, and felt that it was necessary to communicate.
"Then you go to the outskirts of the city to find him," Bentley replied matter-of-factly, "I think he is a bit dishonest in doing this."
Ultimate Warrior is so awesome that he directly asked the president of an industry association to visit him and complained about how little money he made.
But Dai Xingyan really didn't care, "Then I'll take a trip. This subsidy... is indeed a bit small."
Even if this subsidy is given to Rank A maintenance technicians, it is still affordable. After all, many people in the maintenance profession still care about reputation.
If you give it to a Rank B repairman, you will probably wake up laughing in your dreams.
But Jian Lei is not only a maintenance technician, but also Modified Warrior, so this subsidy is really not enough.
Dai Xingyan is also a cheerful person. He came to the outskirts of the city that afternoon and found Qu Jianlei.
She first asked about the renovation of geothermal heating, "... I feel like this renovation method uses the heat exchange idea of Jin Ye?"
"Other Residential Area have already had similar ideas," Qu Jianlei replied seriously, "It's just that they don't have the channels to publish articles."
"The main reason below is the lack of materials, and the heat exchange efficiency cannot be improved. It is common for people to freeze to death in winter."
Dai Xingyan thought about it, and then said awkwardly, "But these materials... are expensive."
"You should know that in their eyes, Tian-character District are in the wilderness, let alone other Residential Area?"
"But it involves a lot of lives," Qu Jianlei replied seriously, "Whether it's expensive or not, at least I think it's necessary to raise it."
Dai Xingyan stared at him for almost Buduo five seconds before sighing, "You... are a bit weird."
Qu Jianlei doesn't think he's weird, "I just put forward ideas and am not responsible for solving problems."
"Okay," Dai Xingyan didn't want to argue with him anymore, she said with a little regret.
"This kind of article can only be submitted to lower-level journals, and the subsidies are not high."
Qu Jianlei smiled nonchalantly and said, "It's just a human thing. The main reason is that Residential Area down there is too miserable."
"Central City doesn't treat them as human beings," Dai Xingyan couldn't help but complain.
Then she retracted her emotions, "What I want to ask is mainly about the bypass thinking of this sensor... It's an amazing idea."
"How amazing is this?" Qu Jianlei shook his head indifferently, "It's just a reasonable use of resources."
"It's very practical!" Dai Xingyan gave a thumbs up, "I guarantee you can play "Mechanical Mysteries"."
"Mechanical Mysteries" is the top journal, which is a high evaluation of the article.
"The main reason is that supplies have been in short supply. It is very important to make rational use of existing resources."
"But I don't quite understand your bypass operation ideas... Can you discuss it?"
Qu Jianlei Diandian shook his head when he heard this, "Maybe there is something wrong with the terminology I expressed. You know, this is my first time writing this thing."
Dai Xingyan's eyes lit up, "It doesn't matter, just tell me in detail."
"Let me tell you in detail," Qu Jianlei looked at her curiously, "Are you still responsible for reviewing the manuscript?"
"Reviewing..." Dai Xingyan's eyes became brighter and brighter, "You even know this?"
"Of course I am not qualified to review the manuscript, but I plan to send your manuscript to "Mechanical Mysteries"."
"They are discriminating against Residential Area's manuscript, so I have to explain the idea personally..."
At this moment, her eyes were as bright as two light bulbs, "Believe me, I can't tolerate being ignored for such a good manuscript!"
Chapter 132 Preference (fourth update) Qu Jianlei Seeing Dai Xingyan's eager look, I almost thought that this guy wanted to plagiarize his article.
However, he could somewhat understand the other person's personality, so he suppressed his doubts and started communicating with the other person.
Dai Xingyan's level is indeed very high. After 20 minutes of simple communication, she completely grasped Qu Jianlei's ideas.
Then she left, vowing that just wait for my good news.
After totaling Qu Jianlei and Bentley, I feel that Dai Xingyan may also be from Central City.
Ordinary people simply can't get into Central City, let alone lobbying in various journals.
But about twenty days later, Dai Xingyan came back again in disgrace, "Have you written any more articles?"
"No, I can't care less," Qu Jianlei said simply, "I... Terry feels that repairs are more profitable."
In fact, he is mainly improving Hua Xiezhi's training methods, because it has great reference significance for him.
Then he asked, "Has "Mechanical Mysteries" been drafted?"
Dai Xingyan's face sank and he muttered in a low voice, "I helped you draft "Mechanical Exploration"."
"Mechanical Exploration?" Qu Jianlei's face also changed slightly, "Fifty one page Silver Coin subsidy?"
Fifty and one hundred, this is twice the difference.
Dai Xingyan's face doesn't look good either. She was so high-spirited at first, but now she is so downcast.
She defended in a low voice, "They are just a bunch of blind people... But don't worry, I will find someone else next time."
Qu Jianlei frowned, "Since I can find it next time, why not this time?"
"We have already found someone this time. It would be inappropriate to find someone else," Dai Xingyan said straightforwardly. "It will be difficult for the person involved."
"Forget it, I think it's quite boring," Qu Jianlei was really uninterested.
He intended to make money from this, but it was unnecessary to earn so hard.
He really doesn't lack the means to make money, he just wants to make money like this. Is it difficult to help people with repairs or kill people to buy goods?
"If you write, the subsidy will be doubled!" Dai Xingyan said straightforwardly, "I will pay for it!"
Qu Jianlei looked at her and said seriously, "I don't want money, I want cultivation resources."
"No problem," Dai Xingyan replied without hesitation, "I have to say this."
Taking it out? Qu Jianlei shook his head speechlessly, "How much leisure is there? If you are really angry, just kill someone."
Dai Xingyan was stunned when he heard this, "Killing... why are you talking about this? You like killing so much?"
Qu Jianlei spread his hands, "Can a maintenance engineer earn enough money to practice?"
Dai Xingyan was speechless immediately. This is really not possible. Not to mention Ultimate Warrior, Modified Warrior consumes a lot of money.
Then she thought about it and asked in a deep voice, "Can you kill anyone?"
Huh? Qu Jianlei was stunned when he heard this, "I thought you asked me to write a thesis... now you want me to be a killer?"
"Who doesn't have a few enemies?" Dai Xingyan always spoke so directly, "It's just that I originally wanted to solve it myself."
"Then you can solve it yourself," Qu Jianlei shook his head. He was not a murderer.
Dai Xingyan has always been more dedicated to her duties. Until just now, she was still thinking about how to get the other party to write an article.
But once this thought arises, I can no longer hold it back, "Then you help me kill him, and I'll pay him."
"This is not a question of money," Qu Jianlei replied seriously, "Do you think... I am that kind of person?"
"Ten thousand Silver Coin!" Dai Xingyan offered the price simply, "It's just two ordinary people, I'm not short of money!"
Qu Jianlei shook his head, "No!"
"Fifteen thousand!" Dai Xingyan gritted his teeth, "This is really the upper limit. I can't afford more."
"No," Qu Jianlei continued to shake his head. He has a bottom line.
"Forget it," Dai Xingyan shook her head dejectedly. Her offer was indeed more honest, and the room for movement was not very large.
"Let's discuss where to focus your research. Don't go on "Practical Mechanical Technology" anymore."
The article that appeared on "Practical Mechanical Technology" was about ways to improve geothermal heating.
In the words of Dai Xingyan, the reason why the article was published in this publication was because she risked her life to ask for help, otherwise she would not have been able to pass the manuscript.
It can also be seen that those Residential Area at the bottom level are really not taken seriously by Central City.
"Wait a minute," Qu Jianlei said seriously, "It's not that I don't think you gave me enough, but I don't want to be bribed to kill people."
"I have killed a lot of people, but I dare to say that Asking Heart Array is worthy of it. As for the wealth, just take it from the other party."
He didn't wait for the other party to answer and said simply, "Does the other party have a way to die? The key is... does he have money?"
Dai Xingyan was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses, "Are you such a pretentious person?"
Qu Jianlei answered calmly, "Only when you have a bottom line can you be called a human being. Otherwise, what's the difference between you and an animal?"
Dai Xingyan Diandian nodded thoughtfully, "The other party is also very strong, so I'd better pay 10,000... There is a way to kill him."
Qu Jianlei raised his chin, "Then tell me?"
In the words of Dai Xingyan, her home is in Tai Du and she runs a large business.
Competition is inevitable when doing business, and Dai Family's fleet has encountered several attacks.
Dai Family is not a soft persimmon. He retaliated against his possible competitors. Later, this kind of thing never happened again.
What worries Dai Xingyan is that her eldest brother was injured and died while escorting a car.
Although the competitors were retaliated against, the robbers were never caught.
Later, she roughly confirmed the information about the robber, but he had become an official resident of Qian Jing and had a considerable net worth.
In view of Four Capitals and One Metropolis's competitive relationship, Dai Family's hand cannot reach Qian Jing for the time being.
Dai Xingyan's father has already stated that he will never let those two people go when the conditions are ripe.
But now that Qu Jianlei can consider taking action, Dai Xingyan is also willing to pay.
Qu Jianlei After listening, he nodded slightly and said, "I can take this order, but it will take at least half a year."
Bentley has just started practicing, and Hua Xiezhi has not even started practicing. He wants to calculate the exercises for her.
Their current wealth is said to be tight, but even if they just practice cultivation and don't make money, they can still persist for three or four years with nothing to show for it.
Qu Jianlei is not averse to killing, and he has tasted the benefits of the gold belt of murder and arson.
However, I originally wanted to make a fortune by writing papers, but this change... came very suddenly.
"No problem," Dai Xingyan nodded simply. She had been waiting for so many years, so she could wait a little longer.
"You can wait a year and start next summer. Rain is the best cover... Those two guys are indeed rich."
With this commitment, her attitude towards Qu Jianlei became better and better, and she even sent out some maintenance tasks taken over by the association.
The tasks assigned by President Dai were all easy and lucrative, and her decision even caused some complaints from members.
Everyone knows that Jian Lei and Terry are not easy to mess with, but they can still be done by putting some pressure on the young president.
However, Dai Xingyan retorted plausibly.
"Whoever can publish some articles in heavyweight journals, I will also tilt my resources towards him. The question is who can do it?"
The maintenance engineers have all shut up. Jian Lei can produce one or two articles in journals every month. Who wouldn't be jealous of the subsidies he receives? But they are just jealous. Most of the maintenance technicians still focus on hands-on work, playing with words... the difficulty is too high.
Some maintenance engineers were unconvinced and tried to write articles and submit them, but very few were able to pass them.
Three months have passed. Not counting Qu Jianlei's manuscripts, Hou Jing has only published two articles.
One article was published on "Practical Mechanical Technology", and the other article was purely a popular science article, which is incomparable with the quality of Qu Jianlei.
At this time, Qu Jianlei completely perfected the technique for Hua Xiezhi, but a new problem arose.
Hua Xiezhi needs Modified Potion as an introduction, otherwise the threshold will be too difficult to enter.
After Bentley heard about it, he took the initiative to ask Central City to get the medicine back.
He has now started practicing, and as his strength grows, his confidence has also expanded a lot.
Qu Jianlei and Hua Xiezhi were not at ease with him and asked if they could go together, but he sternly refused.
After all, he is the native of Central City. Taking these two there would be no ordinary trouble.
At the same time, he did not forget to emphasize: I am not doubting that you two are not strong enough, it is simply that the identity check over there is too strict.
But Hua Xiezhi snorted coldly, "It's not just a day or two that you dislike me. Do you really think I can't remember it?"
The old man was really rude to her, "Then just think that I dislike you, but Little Qu... that's different."
However, even if he said this, Hua Xiezhi could only roll his eyes - after all, he got Modified Potion for himself.
Bentley I have been away for four months, and when I came back, it was already the end of winter.
Qu Jianlei has not been idle either. In addition to making money through repairs, he also perfected "Nameless Qi Refining Art" by referring to Hua Xiezhi's techniques.
Then, he rushed to the seventh level of Qi Refining very solidly.
In these four months, he wrote Buduo professional articles, only four in total.
Dai Xingyan knew very well that Jian Lei was a productive guy, but the other party was unwilling to write more, and she did not force him.
The key is that the quality of this guy's articles is gradually improving, and the platforms on which they are published are becoming more and more high-end.
President Dai even used his personal authority to take out some books that were prohibited from being borrowed by outsiders and let Master Jian Lei read them.
Under this situation, Qu Jianlei's time schedule is very tight, but he is very busy and enjoys this kind of life.
During this period, some cultivation resources were also used.
Two days before Bentley came back, Qu Jianlei broke through the eighth level of the Qi Refining Realm.
But this was due to his accumulation. He estimated that it would take him a year to break through to the ninth level of Qi refining.
As for how long it will take for the Qi Refining Realm to break through again, it is difficult to say.
So he can relax appropriately and focus on making some money.
Just when he was thinking about which way to make money, Bentley came back.
