Spend Money to Play the World

Insomnia is a common occurrence for online novel writers.

Ding Kui is a novel writer under Qiqi Literature and a patient who has been plagued by insomnia for a long time.

He has been in touch with online novels more than ten years ago, when he was still a reader.

Later, after graduating from university, I found that there were fewer and fewer good books, and I fell into a book shortage, so I picked up my own pen and embarked on the road of novel creation.

But after entering the industry, I found out that writing novels is really not that easy, because writing and reading are two different things.

The road has been bumpy and bumpy. In the past seven or eight years, he has grown from a young budding newcomer to a great writer. Not to mention standing at the top of online novel creation, but he has reached the middle and upper levels.

In the eyes of his parents, he became the pride of the second elder, and in the eyes of relatives and friends, he became the object of their envy.

Even the first love, after learning that he wrote novels and made a million dollars, started chatting with him every now and then to complain about how bad-tempered her husband was, how hard she was now, and how much she regretted breaking up with him at that time, I miss the time when they were together.

Ding Kui just listened to these bullshit. He was timid, but he didn't dare to collude with her.

However, to be honest, if he could choose again, he would definitely not step into the field of novel writing again.

What others see is the glory after his success, but they don't know how much effort he has put in behind the scenes, and they don't know what he has suffered because of it.

A few years ago, in order to make money from coding, he stayed up late to write for a long time, overdrawn a lot of physical energy, and died of an unknown number of brain cells.

As a result, the whole person is now in a completely sub-healthy state. Insomnia, obesity, myopia, hair loss, and tinnitus all found him at the age of 29.

He didn't even know when he discovered that he was suffering from amnesia, and his thinking became very stagnant, often unable to concentrate, and even the logic became no longer smooth.

Later, I went to the hospital for a check and found out that it was neurasthenia.

For an online writer, this is a fatal blow. Because of his forgetfulness and logical thinking, he can no longer write with the same energy and thoughts as before.

I often sit in front of the computer for a day, but I can't write a chapter, or I write it out. When I go back and look at it, I find that it is full of running accounts and logically incoherent plots, and I can only delete it all at once.

Such questions directly affect the results of his new book,

So that the first order of the new book is terrible, but there is no way, because many old readers are supporting, for the sake of word of mouth and character, he can only continue to create.

Last night, he fell asleep early, because he lost sleep in the middle, he had to get up and take the last two pills of melatonin and B vitamins, and tossed and turned in bed for a long time until the medicine took effect. , just fell asleep.

He slept until two o'clock in the afternoon before waking up. He opened his eyes and looked at the white ceiling and the drowsy sky outside the window. His mood was as low as ever.

After getting up and getting dressed, Ding Kui picked up his mobile phone and ordered takeout. Shaking his heavy head, he dragged his body out of the bedroom. After washing up in the bathroom, he ate some of the takeout he ordered and sat at the computer desk in the study. Before, open the laptop you usually use for coding, and want to code.

However, because his head was heavy and his thinking was sluggish, he found that the words he wrote were completely chaotic.

"Fuck, why is this happening again, I'm going crazy!"

He has encountered such a situation more than once, forcing himself to calm down and slowly revise and correct the text.

But after more than ten minutes, he found that he was getting worse and worse, and the level of writing was declining. He was so angry that he thumped the keyboard a few times, and his mood suddenly collapsed. hair, and sobbed softly.

After being sad for a while, he took a tissue and wiped away his tears. He knew that in this state, he was in a state of confusion and logic. He couldn't code words at all. Therefore, he didn't plan to write any more. He opened a single chapter at the end of the book. After sending the leave request, I turned off the computer.

"It's not a problem to stay at home all day long. Let's go for a walk. It happens that melatonin and B vitamins are gone. Go to the pharmacy to buy some."

After changing his clothes and putting on a pair of sneakers, he picked up his phone and keys, and quickly went out.

After strolling around the small park near his residence, he came to a pharmacy and said to the clerk, "Please help me with a bottle of melatonin and a bottle of B vitamins."

The clerk nodded, went to the shelf to look for a while, but said, "Sorry sir, our store has sold out melatonin..."

"Is it sold out?" Ding Kui frowned, thinking that this store was sold out, so he would go to another pharmacy to sell it. Anyway, there are many pharmacies on this street.

However, at this time, the clerk held a bottle of black-packaged medicine and said to him: "Yes, the goods will not arrive until tomorrow morning, but sir, this Xingnao capsule is also effective. It can repair brain nerves and treat insomnia and forgetfulness. and neurasthenia, why don't you buy it and try it?"

Ding Kui, who was about to leave, stopped again when he heard the clerk's words.

Glancing at the medicine bottle in the clerk's hand, he asked, "Xingnao Capsule? I've never heard of this brand of medicine before, does it really work?"

The clerk said: "It doesn't work, you will know if you buy it and take it. However, the manufacturer of Xingnao Capsules said that if the medicine doesn't work after taking it, you can return it at any time."

Ding Kui raised his brows and smiled: "You can return it at any time if it doesn't work? The manufacturer of this medicine really dares to say that, it means, I bought it and took it home. If I can't treat insomnia and forgetfulness, can I return it?"

The clerk nodded: "Yes, their drug is specially developed for insomnia patients, and they are very confident to solve this problem, otherwise they will not be guaranteed.

If you buy it back and eat it and find that it doesn't work, just come to our pharmacy and return it. "

In the past, all the medicine sellers were uncles. It was impossible to say that they would be refunded within seven days, like the one who sold clothes and shoes. class of drugs.

For a while, he also felt novel. After taking the medicine bottle from the clerk, he repeatedly read the remarks above and said, "Then I will buy a bottle to try, how much is it?"

The clerk said: "This brain-refreshing capsule costs 350 yuan a bottle..."

The ex-factory price is 300 yuan, but the pharmacy also needs to make money. A bottle of medicine ordered by conscience earns a few dollars, and a bottle of normal order can earn dozens of dollars.

Ding Kui was surprised: "350 yuan, so expensive, I think there are only 30 capsules above. If you do this, one capsule is equivalent to a dozen yuan, it's too expensive..."

The clerk smiled and said: "You get what you pay for, it's expensive to sell, there must be a reason for it. You can buy it back and use it. If you think it doesn't work, just come to our store and return it. Anyway, we are so big. The shop, I can't run away again, do you think so?"

Ding Kui felt that the clerk's words made sense, so he nodded and said: "350 is 350. If it really doesn't work, I will return it directly. By the way, get me another bottle of B vitamins."
