<Judgment Knight--Jigsaw>
It seemed that the years of hard work and the experience of the past few days had a wonderful chemical effect. Early the next morning, Li Si got the new work that Arthur Jack Man had worked so hard on.
For five whole periods, according to a certain calculation, the number of updates was at least 20,000 to 30,000 per day, and thoughts of the potential explosion came flooding back.
And what surprised Li Si was that although this book seemed a bit deliberately flattering, it was surprisingly good.
This book is not a full-length novel, but in the form of semi-independent short and medium stories, except that the protagonists are all "Jigsaw", and the first five chapters just constitute a small chapter.
The basic content is centered on his "Jigsaw". Jigsaw, named Judgment Knight, guides criminals to redeem themselves through secret rooms.
It is a very typical American personal heroism style work, but it was creatively written by Arthur Jack man into a suspense theme, with various clues, puzzles and battles of wits, which makes it feel like watching Sherlock Holmes or Detective Conan.
Although there seems to be some shortcomings in writing skills, it is not easy to produce tens of thousands of updates per day for short and medium-length suspense works that require great attention and consideration. In this era where everything is fast-paced, this kind of creation speed can completely make up for those trivial shortcomings.
"Sir, Arthur Jack man is asking for your evaluation of his works."
Skynet waited until Li Si had finished reading all the chapters, and after taking a sip of the coffee on the table with some pleasure and leisure, he tacitly reminded him aloud.
"Very good! Reward! Then push it to the entire network."
A good story, coupled with the story of flattering himself, obviously put Li Si in a good mood now, and he waved his hand very happily.
This book by Arthur Jack man was sent directly to the Internet through his tablet. He just created a forum last night. Anyway, there are a lot of source code templates for the forum on the Internet, and it didn't take him much effort. He just copied it and modified it a little.
However, this newly created forum did not have any popularity, so naturally no one else would read it. Now Li Si, who was in a very good mood, decided to use the rogue method of forcing pop-ups to push it to the entire network.
Of course, being in a good mood is only one of them. The most important thing is that I suddenly thought of using this book to beautify the character image of "Jigsaw" and deepen the people's sense of identity with Gotham.
Never underestimate the power of an avid reader.
Taking the Sherlock Holmes series of stories as an example, the protagonist Sherlock Holmes is obviously just a fictional character, but due to the popularity of readers and fans, he has been shaped into a legendary figure comparable to a real existence.
Arthur Jack Mann's <Judgment Knight--Jigsaw> may not be comparable to the Sherlock Holmes series, but the quality is not enough and can be made up of quantity. As long as the promotion intensity is better, the influence will definitely not be much lower. Isn't it just hype? No matter how awesome the trolls are, there is no way they can match Skynet.
What's more, "Jigsaw" is not just a virtual character, there is also his living body here. If the virtual Jigsaw really has fans, a large part of them will definitely be transferred to his real body, Jigsaw, and become his admirers.
Moreover, when readers read novels, they will basically put themselves into the protagonist. Once they become involved, they will naturally have a sense of identity, and their tolerance for the protagonist's behavior that violates moral ethics will be much higher.
After all, most human beings are strict with themselves and neglect others. The standards for judging themselves and others are completely different, and different perspectives will lead to different things.
To give a very simple example, a beggar who is about to starve to death steals something from a passerby. If we look at it from the beggar's perspective, he is about to starve to death and steals just to survive and is forced to do so.
But if you think about it as a stolen passerby, that is, your things have been stolen and your property has been violated. The psychology and emotions produced by the two are completely different.
Even if you look at the thief from the perspective of a third party, if you don't know the inside story, oh, this is a disgusting thief, and what if you know that there is a compelling reason for "starving to death"? At least some of the third parties will feel pity or feel excusable.
These readers take on the identity of "Jigsaw" and see Jigsaw's behavior from the perspective of Jigsaw. When they change the object of worship to him, the real Jigsaw, even if he later uses some bloody and cruel methods, these people's resistance will be greatly reduced, and they may even become his order points contribution targets.
"Fast coding speed is a rare talent. It just so happens..."
I don't know what I thought of, Li Si's eyes narrowed again, and a smile that was unique to those who calculated people appeared on his face.
After strengthening his intelligence attributes several times, his thought retrieval ability and thinking speed were already several times higher than those of ordinary people. At this time, he obviously had a flash of inspiration and thought of some great "shattering plan".
Wow!
The clear and sweet sound of coin collision sounded one after another, like the most beautiful music in the world.
"Your manuscript is very good. This is a reward for your manuscript. In addition, the books you published on the forum will be pushed to the entire network. I hope you will continue to work hard."
The Jigsaw voice simulated by Skynet sounded above Arthur Jack man's head.
Arthur Jack man, who was still anxious and worried about gains and losses, suddenly felt as if his whole brain was frozen when he heard this. His mind went blank, and he stayed in place, silent for a long time, and he didn't even hear what was said clearly.
Royalties!
There was only one word left in his mind that kept echoing.
It's tragic to say that this is the first "fee" he has received in his life.
Writing, or the entire creative and art industry, is actually very different between the bottom and the top. A small number of people who are famous may be able to make a lot of money, but for those at the bottom, they have to find extra ways to maintain basic survival.
Not to mention making a profit, even if you want to gain recognition from others, it is extremely difficult. If your work is not famous and your skills are not strong enough, no one will appreciate it. It will be difficult to support yourself, and your relatives and friends will not understand this "ridiculous" dream.
Everyone disagrees, everyone is not optimistic, life needs cannot be met, and even spiritual needs cannot be met. What will eventually form is a vicious and vicious cycle, otherwise he will not become a "scumbag" who is eating soft food while hoping to become famous and rich.
"The royalties..."
It felt like my throat was blocked, my heart was full of emotions that were hard to express, and I couldn't help but feel like tears would fill my eyes, which finally turned into a long sigh and murmured to myself.
He can use words skillfully, but he doesn't know how to express his current mood.
Is it a sense of accomplishment? Or is it the gratitude and excitement after the work is finally recognized by others? Or is it the emotion and satisfaction of receiving the first royalties in life?
Maybe both.
It was too complicated, and the mixture of emotions exceeded the limit of what he could express.
At this moment, his yearning for Mina reached an unprecedented level. He wanted to share his joy and sense of accomplishment with her, and wanted to say the words "My work can make money" that he had rehearsed countless times in his mind.
Although it is not real US dollars, even though it is just a symbolic skull coin, it is also the fee that I earned from my works... royalties.
