Chapter 66 Good news too


Chapter 66 is also good news

"But that is not included in our package." Gu Jiayu hesitated.

There are also rows of prefabricated houses built in the playground, which are used as canteens, or to set up games such as hooping and shooting balloons.

"It's okay, you invite me to come to the amusement park, and I'll treat you to this." Gu Lu said.

“Really?” Gu Jiayu jumped up and down and ran to the stall.

The stall owner is an enthusiastic middle-aged man. He has a rag hanging on his shoulder to wipe sweat at all times. He has a flattering smile on his face. When he sees someone approaching, he immediately greets him.

"Two kids want to play? I'll give you a cheaper price." said the rag stall owner.

“What’s the price?” Gu Lu asked.

"Two types, one is to use this rifle to shoot bullets, twenty rounds are 5 yuan, and the other is to shoot with a bow and arrow, 15 arrows are 5 yuan." The rag stall owner introduced.

The entire shooting venue is made of a piece of white cloth as an arrow shield, with colorful balloons hanging in rows and columns.

"If you shoot 18 balloons with 20 bullets, you can choose a stuffed toy. If you shoot 13 arrows with 15 arrows, you can also choose a toy." The rag stall owner said, "Come and try, I can give you two more bullets." , or an arrow.”

It turns out that this is a discount. Strictly speaking, it is more expensive than the stalls outside, but considering that there will definitely be a price increase in the amusement park, it is understandable.

Gu Lu said, "Then let's pay 5 yuan first."

He turned and asked, "Jiayu, air rifle or archery?"

"Of course I do It must be archery." Gu Jiayu added in his mind, how could the heroine use a gun.

The bows and arrows sold at roadside stalls are definitely not very professional, at best they are slightly better than plastic children’s toy bows. After Gu Lu paid, his sister also took the bow and 16 arrows from the stall owner.

She believed that she was heroic and could definitely shoot up sixteen balloons, but the fact was that Gu Jiayu's first two arrows went a thousand miles away.

It wasn’t until the start of the six games that Gu Jiayu found some form.

Result: 16/7

Not bad, almost half. Seeing that his sister was still unfinished, Gu Lu asked, "Would you like to play another round?"

"No, it's too expensive. You can only play with a dozen arrows for five yuan." Gu Jiayu shook his head.

In this case - Gu Lu looked at the prize cabinet next to the stall owner and said: "Boss, how do you sell this bow and arrow toy?"

"This? Fifty yuan, look at you all I'm a student, I'll sell it to you at a low price, 45." The rag stall owner waved his hand generously, as if he was giving away a huge profit.

Before the brother opened his mouth, the younger sister couldn't sit still. "What forty-five? I was in the supermarket before and saw a similar toy that was only thirty-five. How can it be so expensive?"

"There are a lot of things in supermarkets, so they make small profits but quick turnover. Ours is too cheap and we can't make any money at all." The rag stall owner said, "I'll make a loss, forty yuan, the lowest price."

To be honest, Gu Lu was not good at bargaining in his previous life or in this life, and he didn't know the price of a toy bow at all.

So he glanced at his sister and without saying anything else, Gu Lu paid for it.

The moment when Gu Lu got the bow and arrow from his boss——

[Edogawa Ranpo Award][Detective Death][No. 1 on the annual mystery list of "Weekly Bunshun"] Three tags turned into a book "After School".

Details: A campus youth mystery novel, its plot is very original, and the final motive is even more shocking. The stage of the story is in the campus.

It turned out to be this book. Gu Lu slapped his head. Why didn't he expect it at all? Indeed, the "I" who deduced the truth was eventually killed by his wife.

The last of Keigo Higashino's four masterpieces is "Malice", "White Night" and "The Devotion of Suspect X", which can be said to be Higashino's famous work.

But there is no way to write this novel at all! First of all, its tricks include sliding doors and bowdo clubs, two keywords that are difficult to appear on domestic campuses.

Secondly, the motive for the murder was too outrageous for children, and Gu Lu covered his forehead. "That's right, it's impossible to use all triggering books, such as "When the Stars Shine" and "After School"."

Gu Lu thought of the good side and at least cleared the list so that both the item sequence and the line sequence would be empty, making it easier to trigger other works.

With "The Little Prince" and "Mr. Holmes" in hand, Gu Lu didn't panic at all.

"This is for you, Jiayu. You can buy balloons at home and play with them as you like." Gu Lu said.

"Thank you, brother." Gu Jiayu took the gift with both hands, eyes crooked, and smiled very happily.

Then the two continued to play the remaining items in the package...

Speaking of which, Gu Lu has been busy typing for more than 20 days during the summer vacation.

And he fully realized two things -

First, he had no talent for drawing, so he copied the original painting very slowly.

There are 63 pictures in total, and only 24 of them have been painted in the past three weeks, about one picture a day. Fortunately, the original pictures did not require too advanced techniques and even looked like children's paintings. Otherwise, we would have really needed to hire foreign help.

Think about it, when "The Little Prince" becomes a hit book, it will be really troublesome in terms of copyright, so Gu Lu is slow, but he is also willing to work hard.

Second, his coding speed has improved, from two or three thousand words per hour to three or four thousand words per hour. Practice makes perfect.

“I’m so exhausted!”

Gu Jiayu slumped on the sofa without paying attention to her appearance, but the mahogany sofa was a little kowtow, and she sat up straight after a while.

The two played at Nanping Amusement Park until seven o'clock in the evening.

When he returned home, Gu Lu simply cooked meat and vegetables. After finishing dinner, Gu Lu made a bed for himself on the mahogany sofa.

I don't know if all the mahogany sofas in the world have the same shape. The back of the chair is a semicircular protrusion. There is a big gap at the connection between the chair cushion and the back of the chair. Gu Lu plugged it little by little with cotton wool.

The newly rented house has one bedroom and one living room, and Gu Jiayu cannot sleep in the living room, so he chose to give up the master bedroom.

"Brother, good night!" After Gu Jiayu said that, he fell into a deep sleep, sleeping soundly. In fact, after being crazy all day, it was difficult to have any extra energy, so of course I just slept on the pillow.

The next morning, Gu Jiayu left at half past nine. Because she had to return to Suokouqiu in advance and wait for Uncle Xiao to drive to pick her up, so as not to expose the news of her brother's move.

Although Gu Jiayu is young, he is still thoughtful about things.

"Take these 20 yuan and buy whatever you want to eat. My brother has money now." Before leaving, Gu Lu returned the pocket money.

I am not a fan of Gu Lucai, because my sister will not accept it if I give him too much.

In the days that followed, Gu Lu entered into the process of "self-discipline" by going to nearby black Internet cafes.

I get up at 8:30 every day, draw the illustrations of "The Little Prince" in the morning, and go to the Internet cafe to type in the afternoon, which usually takes two hours. Read a book at night.

After leaving Teacher Li, Gu Lu could only go to the Sha District Library to read books. He got a membership card and could rent books for free.

Finally, in mid-July, Gu Lu sent the 50,000-word manuscript "Mr. Holmes" to Han Zang. Of course, this is certainly not the full text.

The full text has more than 100,000 words. Although I am confident, I still need an editor to read it first. Don’t be afraid of 10,000 words, just be afraid of the worst.

Han Zang, who was very irritated by the hot chicken manuscript, received this document.
