Chapter Two: "The Cases of Sherlock Holmes"

Late at night, Matt, who had worked for more than sixteen hours, came back and brought back a cheap fountain pen, a bottle of ink and a small amount of manuscript paper as promised.

"Brother, what are you going to do with these?" Matt asked.

The house was too dark, and most of the slums did not even have electricity to connect, let alone think about the electric lights. Lynn lighted a candle and checked out what Matt brought back through the candlelight: "Writing novels makes money."

Matt was stunned: "What...what?"

Not many manuscripts were bought back. In order to save money, Lin En added ink to the pen and chose to try writing in his own hands: "Writing novels makes money."

"Writing novels?" Matt has lived with Lynn since he was a child, and he has never discovered that the other party has the ability to write novels.

"It's so late, you go and rest first." Lynn knew that it was difficult to explain this to Matt clearly. Only by writing the first draft and seeing his abilities could he feel at ease.

"When did you write novels? Don't you even like reading?" Matt didn't want Lynn to give up on himself because of his disability, but writing novels seemed too unrealistic to him. Instead of writing and painting on paper, it's better to go out and find some simplest jobs, even if you can only earn 100 copper coins or 50 copper coins a month. "It's difficult to write novels, you can't make money casually. Brother, why not forget it..."

After checking the pen, Lynn reached out and patted Matt: "Don't worry, you can get up tomorrow - what's wrong with your face?"

Just now, because the candle was not lit, his attention was mainly on the pen and manuscript paper, so he didn't look at Matt carefully.

Now that the distance is closer, he candlelight, he clearly sees a few bruises on Matt's thin face.

Moreover, before he left the house, he showed a depravity value of [—40], but now it has become [—30].

According to the rules that Lynn has mastered in the past few days, the larger the depravity value, the more depravity the person becomes. On the contrary, the smaller the value, the more upright the person is.

The injury on his face and the increase in the depravity value means that Matt may have encountered something outside.

"Face? Ah... I fell a little. The road was too slippery. It was all snow. Fortunately, it didn't fall from the house." Matt explained with his nose.

"Is that?" Lynn keenly observed that things didn't seem to be that simple, but Matt did not confess, so he did not delve into it. "Then be careful in the future and never happen to anything."

"Okay, okay..." Matt, who was a little guilty, lost his mind to interfere in Lynn's affairs.

Thinking about it from another perspective, writing things will make Lynn feel that life is meaningful and good. When your affairs are properly resolved, then take the time to find a job for him.

"Brother, I'll go to bed first. If you have something to do, call me."

"Go, good night." Lin En had nothing to do during the day. Now that the pen and manuscript were complete, he immediately decided to get the first draft out overnight.

In this way, he can make money earlier and leave the slums, otherwise he may doubt that he will be frozen to death in this winter soon.

The first mystery novel he chose was the most famous "Shelmes Detective Collection" on Earth.

This novel is composed of a large number of short stories, which is very suitable for serialization in newspapers one by one. Secondly, this novel is almost well-known to people all over the world. It is the best work that has been tested by the market. Thirdly, the world background of the novel is close to here, and the adaptation is less difficult and highly accepted.

Based on these points, it is undoubtedly the most appropriate to choose "Shelmes Detective Collection" to open up the situation.

And although Lynn read it when he was a child, this book is indeed worthy of the classics. He still remembers the general contents of it. In addition, he is a mystery novelist, so it is not difficult to modify a very similar version based on his memory.

The only thing that hindered his progress was that the original body of this body didn't know much. Although he had been studying hard these days after inheriting his memory, he still had shortcomings.

Therefore, he could only write a rough draft first, and after he had a deeper understanding of the text of this world, he would polish it and set the finished product.

December 24th, dawn

Matt woke up after sleeping for a few hours, rubbed his eyes and unexpectedly found that Lynn was still sitting at the table writing a novel.

A small stack of written manuscripts had been stacked around him, and the manuscript paper he bought was about to be used up.

"Brother... have you not been asleep?"

"No, I'm almost finished writing, I'll have to rest after finishing it." Lynn focused on writing.

He was extremely painful and troubled when rushing manuscripts on Earth before, but after coming to another world, his energy was extremely abundant.

"...Okay." Matt took some of the manuscripts written by Lynn and read them.

When Lin En's legs were still good, he tried hard to support him for reading for several years, so he didn't have much effort to read the novel, and was soon attracted by the exquisite conception in the first draft. He was so shocked that he opened his mouth slightly and said in disbelief: "Brother... Is this really what you wrote..."

"How is it?" Lynn put down his pen and looked at Matt expectantly.

As the indigenous person of this world and the first reader, Matt's reading opinions are still very important.

"I...I think it's good..." Matt's eyes lit up. He was surprised at how a rough brother could write such a meticulous story, and then he was happy for Lynn.

Writing this way, you can make some money no matter how you write it, but this is not the most important thing.

The most important thing is that Lynn found his own value. He didn't have to sit in a wheelchair all day and couldn't do anything, nor did he have to go out to find the hardest job to earn the most meager salary.

"Do you have any comments? Tell me." Lynn relaxed with a snack after hearing Matt's comment.

The significance of Matt's evaluation is not the difference between civilians and nobles, but the acceptance of the earth and another world.

As long as Matt can read it and think it is good, he will be sure to conquer those newspapers and the main audience group of the newspapers - the nobles.

"Opinions...uh...I can't say it, it's pretty good anyway... These reasonings are unexpected and reasonable, and I feel refreshed at the end..." To evaluate it in detail, it is beyond Matt's ability. He thought about it for a long time but still didn't know what valuable opinions he could give, so he could only say some words that have no substantial meaning intermittently.

"Okay, I'll continue to write. Then I'll contribute to the newspaper." Lin En was not surprised and picked up the pen and continued to write.

"Okay, brother, you have finished writing and I'll go to contribute to your article. I'll get the bread first and finish the work." Matt was particularly happy and got out of bed and got two servings of black bread.

Lynn was in a good mood, probably writing about the reason why he was hungry all night, and even ate all the black bread that he couldn't swallow.

"Brother, do you need me to buy some more manuscript paper?" asked Matt, who had finished eating, washed up briefly and was about to go out to work.

"Buy some more, and there is ink, and buy another bottle." Lynn nodded.

"Okay, I should be back this afternoon, and I will buy it for you then."

"After afternoon? Why is it so early?" Lynn remembers that Matt goes out early and comes back late every day, especially in winter, every family in the wealthy area needs to clean the chimneys. There are so many work that they can't finish, so it's too early to come back before 10 o'clock.

"Did you forget? Today is Christmas Eve." Matt reminded.

"Christmas Eve?" Lynn suddenly remembered that today is December 24th, and there are also Christmas Eve festivals in this world. "No wonder... OK, then I'll wait for you to come back."

Matt grinned and showed a bright smile: "Brother, let's go out for fun tonight? Finally, I have some time to relax and go out for some breath. This is also a celebration of you becoming a novelist in advance."

During the days when I traveled to another world, Lynn had basically never been out except to go to the bathroom.

In fact, the main reason is that his wheelchair is too old and not very convenient for movement. The road conditions in the slums are also very bad, and there are bumps everywhere.

If he went out alone, he would probably have to move to the entrance of the alley with alley with alley.

Of course, if you have a younger brother around you, all these problems will be solved.

"Okay." Lynn was quite interested in Christmas Eve in another world. He also urgently needed to understand this world personally and further analyze the reasons why he could see the "fall value" and his own identity as the "reincarnator".

Since Matt has time, he has no reason to refuse.
