Chapter 83 "To the Moon" And "Request"

After playing for an hour, Yuan Qing suddenly paused and searched the Internet for some non-spoiler information about the game Go to the Moon.

Xia Yan also learned about the relevant content of this work in the process.

A pixel game of dozens of MB in size won the best game script award of the year in the gamesport selection of the year when it was born.

And in the following period of time, it also won many awards for game plot selection.

The focus is on the plot.

The playability of the game is simply based on the defense.

Xia Yan's thoughts followed Yuan Qing's memory and finally.

After confirming that this game was not a work that her friend deceived her to waste her time.

The girl made up her mind to overcome her dislike for the simple interface of this game and forced herself to play it immersively.

That night, Xia Yan's body was lying on the bed to sober up, but his consciousness was paying attention to the plot of this work.

One hour.

Two hours

Four hours

The plot of Going to the Moon is not too long. The reason why Yuan Qing spent a whole night to finish the game is mainly because she is too stupid. Those boring puzzle levels also waste a lot of time to think.

But those things are not important at all.

That night, Xia Yan followed the game screen and saw the pixel-quality rocket rising at the end of the game.

The life of the protagonist John stopped at that moment, but his dream of going to the moon and reuniting with Xiaoxi.

In the early morning, the dazzling sunlight shone directly into the house.

Xia Yan opened his eyes, and his eyes were a little red.

He sat up, and in his mind, he kept thinking about the plot clips of this work that he had seen in the past few hours.

My heart

was empty.

Honestly, is it touching?

It seems a little.

But it seemed as if there was a layer of gauze blocking Xia Yan's emotions.

He felt a little uncomfortable and a little moved, but not so uncomfortable and moved.

Because he didn't fully understand the story in the first time.

"No, I have to watch it again."

Xia Yan took a deep breath, without hesitation, and entered the immersive state on his own. As long as he had seen the girl's memory once, he could freely control it to watch it repeatedly.

Xia Yan's meaning was to return to the dark room again, in front of the computer desk shining with light.

The moving music echoed in his ears, and the game. The picture of this game was presented again.

The two protagonists, doctors of medical technology from a well-known company, drove to a small island and killed a squirrel at the beginning.

They came here to realize the wish of an important character in the story, an old man John, to go to the moon.

The game progressed.

The two doctors, their consciousness entered John's memory through a special machine, and from John's old age, they kept traveling backwards to his deep childhood memories.

Outside John's house, in front of the lighthouse standing on the cliff, the tombstone of his wife "Xiaoxi".

The paper rabbits left in the house

The life scenes of him and his wife "Xiaoxi" for decades.

Should the couple's savings be used to build a house or to treat his wife's illness?

As his wife, Xiaoxi would rather die than let him spend the money for house repair on her.

For decades, "Xiaoxi" has been asking John what the paper rabbit he folded looks like and what details it has, as if hoping John can remember something.

In middle age, when John threw the sandbag Xiaoxi gave him to the lighthouse, he accidentally threw the sandbag off the cliff. Why was Xiaoxi so panicked and desperate?

Xiaoxi's mental illness.

The reason why John approached Xiaoxi in his youth.

John's memory gap in childhood.

With the memory of playing through the game once, Xia Yan finally understood the story of this flashback structure.

Because it was the second time, he understood all the foreshadowing, so the depression in Xia Yan's heart became deeper and deeper.

Two hours later.

Xia Yan woke up again.

But this time. He was obviously very uncomfortable.

In his ears, John's heartbeat at the last moment of his life and the beeping of medical equipment in the game still echoed.

When I watched it for the first time, I didn't understand it completely, so I just felt a vague feeling of moving.

But the second time I watched it.

This is a pure tear-jerker.

Is Yuan Qing's female bestie in that world sick? Why did she recommend all these works to her?

Anohana is already too much, and this one, To the Moon, is even more tear-jerking than Anohana in my personal opinion.

[If you forget, let's meet on the moon.]

In his heart, the moment this sentence emerged, Xia Yan's chest was suffocated.

"Fuck it, what did I do? I spent more than ten hours and completed this game twice in my memory. Damn it. How can I be the only one who is tortured by the plot!"

This thought emerged in Xia Yan's mind.

Then

He suddenly realized something.

It's already mid-to-late September.

In October, the three seed places for "New God Ascension" in the Southern Province will be selected.

At the end of November, he will submit his new novel to the Imperial Capital area.

And wait until the beginning of next spring.

The biennial "New God's Ascension" novel journal will be released simultaneously in all 17 provinces of Dragon Country and begin serialization.

Xia Yan carefully thought about the plot structure of "To the Moon".

The plot is foreshadowed in the early stage, mainly with foreshadowing, and then the secret is revealed in the middle stage, and the tear gas is directly amplified in the later stage.

But unlike the unheard flower names serialized in "Red Maple", as long as Xia Yan obtains the seed quota for the "New God Ascension" competition, there is no serialization meeting. The submitted novels, as long as the plot does not violate the rules , will definitely be serialized in the journal "New God Ascends the Order".

The journal "New Gods Ascending" is not a profit-making book, and there is no risk of losing half of its works.

As long as you can tell the complete story within the time specified in the activity.

In terms of the overall quality of this work

Xia Yan personally feels that it is more to his liking than the name of the flower that has not been heard. In terms of the level of tear-jerking and depression, he also felt that it was even more severe.

Unheard Flower Name has proven in the Dragon Kingdom light novel market that readers do not hate tear-jerking works.

"Go to the moon" Xia Yan finally made up his mind after thinking for a long time.

Not to mention anything else, the plot of this game has made him continue to be depressed from last night to now. This must be written so that fans can also feel the pain.

→

The tear-jerking feeling will not only not disappear, but will also be transferred and replicated.

In fact, Xia Yan often feels a sense of accomplishment when doing this kind of thing.

If no more suitable works appear in my memory in the next period of time,

Then, this is the entry for the New God Ascension.

late september

The temperature is getting hotter.

Now that they are in their third year of high school, many students are starting to get nervous.

There are only nine months left before the college entrance examination next year.

That was a big test in life, a fateful moment.

Class 7, the top class in the third year of high school, also had a solemn atmosphere.

For students in this class, if you are not admitted to one of the top 30 universities in Longguo, in the words of the class teacher, Mr. Xu, "your life has been a failure. The highlight of your life is to be a loser and a group of successes." They are classmates in the same class.”

Song Lingjun looked at the books, but his thoughts drifted to other places.

Xinghai is finished.

The best result was actually second place on "Red Maple".

Don't mention the "unheard flower name" that surpasses Xia Yan.

Not even "Winter Lake" surpassed it.

This was a big blow to Song Lingyun, who had been enjoying a smooth life since childhood.

I am reminded of the ancient saying "sit in a well and look at the sky".

The smooth sailing I had before was just a matter of studying in a few schools in Nancheng, Southern Province, with a group of mediocre people.

Even if you crush them all the way until now, what can you prove?

Maybe I was just a big frog in a well, but I didn't realize until this moment that there was a genius like Xia Yan in the field of novels around me.

If starting from elementary school in the southern province, the exam content is to test the writing of light novels, then maybe

Will I be suppressed by Xia Yan from elementary school until now, and be the second best in ten thousand years?

Thinking of this, Song Lingjun suddenly felt uncomfortable, and he quickly comforted himself in his heart before calming down.

The shock of the unknown flower name was too great for her, but it also put great pressure on her.

The emotion of wanting to win over Xia Yan is getting stronger and stronger. It used to be just an obsession, but now it feels like it's almost an obsession.

When I have free time, I will think of Xia Yan's face, the journey of youth, and the plot of the novel "The Unknown Flower" anytime and anywhere.

I will think about what Xia Yan's next work will be like.

How should I write my next work so that I can surpass him?

At this time, Song Lingjun's phone vibrated.

She picked it up and looked at it.

Xia Yan?

Song Lingjun's fingers trembled.

Why is Xia Yan calling me?

After looking at the other students in the class, Song Lingjun lowered her head and walked quickly outside the classroom, then ran to the rooftop of the teaching building, where she answered the phone.

"Hey" Song Lingjun said softly.

"Oh, Song Lingjun! I haven't contacted you for a long time. How are you doing lately?"

On the other end of the phone was Xia Yan's smiling voice.

"It's not bad." Song Lingjun said.

"Congratulations. Tang Yin told me yesterday that your "Unheard Flower Name" will be adapted into an animation."

Song Lingjun sat down slowly with his back against the parapet of the rooftop of the teaching building, covered his phone with both hands, and said calmly.

"Tongxi, Tang Yin also told me that a company is contacting our book club and asking about the copyright for the adaptation of your "Xinghai" novel."

"Well, I guess. Xia Yan, are you looking for me for something?" Song Lingjun paused after hearing this and asked softly.

"Um. This, you discovered. I also wanted to say hello before mentioning the purpose, so as to make it appear that I am not so utilitarian."

"I'm not that unknown flower name who wants to adapt the animation. I have a melody that I thought of when I was bored, and I think it's quite suitable to be used as an episode for the animation of this work. But I don't know music theory, so I want to ask. If you have time, can you do me a favor and write the tune I thought of into a musical score, so that I can send it to the animation producer."

Song Lingjun is a well-known genius in the school. Not only is he good at studies, but he also won a national high school student competition award in piano.

Xia Yan was also the only one I happened to know who had some success in playing music. That's why I had the nerve to call and ask.

There began to be silence on the other end of the phone.

"If you find it troublesome, just pretend that I didn't say it. After all, I'm a senior in high school. It's just a waste of your precious time."

Xia Yan said quickly that he was just asking tentatively. If Song Lingjun disagreed, he would go and find a professional musician to do this.

But after all, he didn't know anything, and he was afraid that if he asked those South City musicians to help him do this, he would plagiarize music.

After hearing the tune of "All the secret bases you gave me~" given by Xia Yan, he changed it himself and immediately registered the copyright after changing the tune.

After all these things, Xia Yan became a music plagiarist. Xia Yan would cry to death.

Low probability events are not zero probability events.

As for Song Lingjun's words, apart from other things, Xia Yan believed that this guy would never do this, and there was no need to do this.

She didn't need that little money.

"Okay." The girl's crisp voice sounded on the other end of the phone.

"Eh? Really?" Xia Yan was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that Song Lingjun would give such an answer immediately.

"I said yes."

"Is it so straightforward? Why don't you ask me if I will pay you or ask you to eat or watch a movie?"

"I will be willing to help you only because we are friends, not for other reasons. And I am very curious, how can you, a person who knows nothing about music theory, "imagine" a "self-proclaimed" good song, and want to compile it into a score, and even want to use it in the animation of "Anohana"."

Song Lingjun, who was sitting on Tiantai Mountain, had a smile on her fair and smooth face that she herself did not notice.

"I am very interested in your musical masterpiece"

Some readers said that my work "Anohana" was too popular. I will write a niche one to see how it works. If it doesn't work, the later works will be adjusted accordingly.

Although To the Moon is not an anime series, but a text game, the plot quality is actually very high, but many people do not accept it because of the pixel style.

But in fact, it is not an unknown work. At least in the field of games, it is still quite famous.

Today, I will explain the two chapters with more than 7,000 words, so that everyone will not think that I am lazy and write two chapters.

I am really lazy, because if I divide it into three chapters, I will have to write an extra chapter title, so I divide it into two chapters.

Alas.
