Chapter 1 Different choices
Chen Yuanguang typed the last character, then checked the entire article for grammatical errors and typos. After correcting the problematic parts, he thought about it and added another paragraph to the author's words:
"Today's is gone, don't wait any longer."
Yes, Chen Yuanguang is a relatively well-known writer on Qidian. He makes a good living by writing niche articles in specific fields and can earn 10,000 to 20,000 yuan a month.
This is considered a high income for a family, let alone for him as a senior, it is very considerable and enough for him to live a better life than his classmates.
Moreover, as the number of readers accumulates and the individual becomes more proficient in commercial writing, this income will still have a lot of room for growth in the foreseeable future.
The sun outside the window emitted a pale golden light. Chen Yuanguang took a glance at it, then stood up and returned to another room.
After his writing income exceeded the threshold of 5,000 yuan, Chen Yuanguang didn't want to continue living with his roommates, so he rented a two-bedroom, one-living-room house off campus.
One room is specially used as a study, with a computer and bookcases. In order to make it convenient for reading, he bought a lazy sofa.
The other room is the bedroom. Since moving out and entering his senior year, Chen Yuanguang, who has no other academic assignments except writing his graduation thesis, has gradually changed his schedule to sleeping during the day and writing at night.
I do have better inspiration at night.
Before the alarm clock rang at 6 o'clock in the evening, Chen Yuanguang opened his eyes around 5 o'clock and turned on the mobile phone next to him. There were several missed calls, including from his counselor, roommates and friends.
No, we're former roommates.
He saw in the missed call information that the counselor had three missed calls, with the time intervals being about ten minutes.
According to the order of urgency, Chen Yuanguang first called the counselor: "Director Liu, I was sleeping in front. What do you want to see you for? Just tell me."
"Yuan Guang, there is something happening right now. Professor Xia Haibin's team is not fully recruited and wants to recruit a student in our college. You have the opportunity to apply for it. If you are interested, you can come to my office tomorrow to learn about the details." said the counselor.
Chen Yuanguang first thought in his mind, Xia Haibin, a young professor, doesn’t have a title yet, and the contract he signed is the kind that requires promotion or resignation, won’t that put me in a difficult position?
Schools treat young scholars as consumables, and young scholars look for graduate students as consumables. They are exploited at every level and forced to work hard just to get a diploma. It seems more tempting to write online articles.
"Counselor, you know I plan to go home and lie down, so let's give this opportunity to other students in need," said Chen Yuanguang.
18 is still the last golden age of incremental dividends. There is no shortage of good places to go for graduates from 985 universities, even if they only have a bachelor's degree. A large number of companies are willing to give you opportunities and give you the chance to train your basic qualities that allow you to be admitted to a 985 university.
This is completely different from the era of stock game a few years later, when companies would like you to have three years of work experience upon graduation.
The biggest advantage of Jiangnan University is freedom. No one cares if you don't go to class, live in the dormitory, or have no place to go after graduation. The counselor will not call you like a life-threatening call just because you didn't go to graduate school or sign a tripartite agreement, fearing that the school's reputation will be affected by the unemployment of this student.
So the counselor named Liu didn't say anything. He was not surprised by Chen Yuanguang's answer. He had heard a long time ago that this student was doing well in the online writing industry.
He was able to persist for three years and did not apply for recruitment or admission to graduate school in his senior year. Obviously, he did a good job. Not to mention that Chen Yuanguang had been involved with Lin Jia for many years. If he did not make any money, he would not have been able to support Lin Jia.
The counselor wanted to give him another piece of advice: "Yuan Guang, your grades are just a little short of the admission requirements. If Professor Xia takes a liking to you, you should be able to get into graduate school. Writing online articles is an industry with a very high degree of uncertainty. Just because you are doing well now does not mean that you can still maintain this level in the future.
Since you are writing online articles and attending school at the same time, and your grades are still above average, I suggest you think about it and wait and see in the ivory tower for a few years. "
Chen Yuanguang declined: "Director Liu, thank you very much. I will think about it carefully."
The counselor surnamed Liu felt that he had fulfilled his obligations and did not say anything more. "Graduate students sound good, but the problem is that the graduate programs in biochemistry, environmental materials science and materials science are a bit of a pitfall." Chen Yuanguang still planned to give up this opportunity.
Having enjoyed the taste of freedom, Chen Yuanguang no longer wanted to be bound by a mechanized life, not to mention that the postgraduate stage is not as easy as the undergraduate stage, and young scholars who have not obtained any titles will take you to the sky.
He understood everything the counselor said. What made him choose the online literature industry without hesitation was the unparalleled freedom, wasn't it?
Self-media may also be restricted by MCN, and online writers can think of ten thousand reasons to fool readers.
Chen Yuanguang stood up. He seemed to remember someone knocking on the door in a daze. "It should be a courier. Lin Jia's birthday present for me has arrived."
He glanced at his phone and saw a text message: "Mr. Chen, I called you earlier but no one answered. Here is a package for you. I put it in the express locker for you. Remember to pick it up."
Chen Yuanguang felt excited after seeing the text message. This should be the birthday gift from Lin Jia.
"Hey, didn't you say to put it in the delivery cabinet? Why is it just left at the door?"
Chen Yuanguang saw a large box directly at the door.
"The box is a bit big, could it be a package?" Chen Yuanguang looked at the pure black packaging box and guessed in his heart based on the weight.
There is only a logo on the surface of the box, and the logo is a word: Matrix.
"What brand is this? I've never heard of it before."
After taking it apart, he discovered that it was actually a helmet. It felt like metal, but seemed a little different from common metals.
People who study materials have a natural sensitivity to this.
Like the box, the matte black helmet also has a silver logo printed on it: Matrix.
Chen Yuanguang thought, a helmet? The problem is that I don’t have a motorcycle.
Chen Yuanguang guessed that Lin Jia should still be on the plane, so he didn't call her.
He walked straight to the mirror, put the helmet on, and planned to admire how he looked in it.
"Mr. Chen has been determined to be in a coma and is now being awakened using B1-74 drug. This operation is permitted by Article 29 of Chapter 389 of the Robot Medical Emergency Regulations."
Chen Yuanguang felt that he didn't know what happened after he put on the helmet, as if he had lost consciousness. When he woke up again, not only had the environment around him changed, but the first thing he saw was a futuristic bionic robot.
Then some memories were stuffed into the brain, and these memories seemed to be innate. There was no pain or tearing, only the dizziness brought by thinking too much.
The Crow is Back, please collect and read it.
