Chapter 01 Rebirth When Graduating from University
"Xiao Shang, have you found a job?"
"I found it. I will officially go to work tomorrow."
"Then...how much is the salary?"
"Well... during the internship period... 3,000, and after becoming a full-time employee, 3,500."
"Why... so low?"
"Well...the company provides food and accommodation. In fact, including the cost of food and accommodation, it costs about five thousand yuan per month."
"Then... you'd better come back and take the civil service exam. If you pass the exam, you won't have to worry about anything in your life. And the salary is high. Look at your cousin Feifei, who graduated from a junior college this year and was admitted to a hospital in Xingshi as soon as she took the exam.
The current salary of a nurse is 10,000 yuan per month. As an undergraduate, you can definitely be admitted to the civil service... Xiao Shang... are you still listening?"
"exist."
"...or...don't want to take the civil service exam?"
"In no mood."
"Hush...huh...tell your dad."
"Shang."
"dad."
"What do you do for a living?"
"It's just rendering the furniture, and then...well...it's just some graphic design work."
"Oh, then you must be nimble when working, don't be lazy, be diligent, and when you master the skills and master them, your salary will naturally increase. Back then, I..."
"Okay, it's half past ten now, and we've also taken a break. You should also go to bed early. You have to go to work tomorrow."
"knew."
"Then I'll hang up."
"Um."
After hanging up the phone and looking at the date 2017.06.23 displayed on the phone screen, Wang Shang, who was lying on the bed, felt complicated.
He was reborn and returned to 2017 when he graduated from college in 2022.
Wang Shang realized something was wrong when he woke up this morning. He was still writing his rebirth novel last night. How could someone who wrote a rebirth novel really be reborn?
After a long period of unknown experiments, he finally accepted the fact that he was indeed reborn.
After that, everything was the same as in the previous life. He and another classmate got on the bus that had already booked tickets from Jiangcheng to the city of Zhongcheng and arrived at the company Zhonglin Furniture Group.
Because it was already after 7 pm when I arrived, I hadn't officially joined the company yet. I just arranged to stay in the company's dormitory first.
The company dormitory is in a rental house in the village. It is a small single room with an independent bathroom and a small kitchen that can only be operated by one person.
There is only a double bed and a small wardrobe in the room, and nothing else.
Currently, only Wang Shang lives alone. At this moment, he is lying on the bed. On the edge of the wall opposite the end of the bed, the air-conditioning vent is facing between his legs, blowing cold air.
"We've all been reborn, why don't we follow up with a system?"
Opening WeChat on his mobile phone and looking at the balance of 752, Wang Shang felt melancholy in his heart.
It's not easy to be reborn without money. I can't just stay in this company like in my previous life.
Doesn't he know that the salary is very low, and doesn't he want to find a new job? No, he knows that the actual salary is not even as high as what he just told his parents.
The internship period is three months, 2,500 per month.
After becoming a regular employee, the monthly salary is 2,800, not even 3,000.
Even food and accommodation are not guaranteed. In name, the company provides food and accommodation, but 200 yuan for accommodation and 300 yuan for food will be deducted from your salary every month.
In addition, water and electricity bills are also deducted from wages. With the temperature here in Guangdong Province, you cannot sleep without turning on the air conditioner at night. The water and electricity bills start at least 100 per month. In total, 600 to 700 per month are deducted from wages.
Moreover, I still have to pay social security, which will deduct more than 500 yuan. After becoming a regular employee, my monthly salary of 2,800 yuan will be gone instantly, and more than 1,000 yuan will be lost. In the end, I will have more than 1,000 yuan in my hand.
But even with such treatment, Wang Shang didn't have the courage to just leave, no matter in his previous life or now after rebirth.
There is no way, this is reality, if you don’t have money in your pocket, in reality, you can’t go anywhere.
"Forget it, let's stay here for half a year and see if my novel can take off."
In his previous life, Wang Shang started writing online articles during the epidemic in early 2020.
The reason why I embarked on this path is the same as that of many old bookworm writers. I read too many novels, and my mouth was exhausted. I felt that I couldn't find the novel I wanted to read, so I thought about writing one myself.
In his previous life, Wang Shang started reading online books in the first year of high school and has been a bookworm for more than ten years.
After graduating from college, Wang Shang couldn't stand any novel he read. As long as there was an unreasonable point in the plot, he couldn't stand it. No matter how hard he tried to ignore and forget that unreasonable point, he couldn't stand it.
Unlike newcomers who have just read online articles, as long as their emotions are up, it doesn't matter if the plot is unreasonable or the logic is wrong, as long as they feel happy.
For an old bookworm like Wang Shang, as long as he sees a certain point in the novel that is illogical and unreasonable, he is like a mouse droppings in a bowl of soup, and he will not be able to put it down.
It was also at that time that Wang Shang had the urge to write online articles.
It wasn't until Zhonglin resigned from his job at the end of 2019 and returned home. During the epidemic, because he couldn't go out and couldn't find novels to read, he started writing a pirate fan novel out of boredom.
This is strange to say. After writing the novel, Wang Shang seemed to have found his favorite thing in his life and wanted to work hard for his whole life.
That different kind of happiness was so charming that Wang Shang fell deeply into the ocean of online articles.
Hmm...the kind that can't float up.
From 2020 to 2022, Wang Shang has only been writing for less than two years, but he has already written two million-word fan novels, and was writing a third original urban rebirth novel before his rebirth.
Over three million words have been written in two years. Wang Shang has never experienced what it feels like to write a letter. He only feels that there are too many things he wants to write and it is difficult to choose.
Wang Shang's love for online writing comes from his heart, and it is also the motivation that keeps him writing every day.
It's a pity that sometimes it doesn't take passion to succeed.
The accumulation of three million words only stabilized his monthly manuscript fee at around four to five thousand.
It is still more than half way to Wang Shangding’s goal of earning more than 10,000 monthly contributions.
But that was his previous life. Now when he graduates from college, Wang Shang only has the advantage of being reborn for more than five years.
But it’s also a big advantage when used in online writing.
Now in 2017, there are many novels such as the popular Gou Daoliu, Sign In Liu, and Ping Ping Wu Qi Liu, and Wang Shang has read them all.
Of course, copying is impossible.
Only when you write a novel will you understand. Unless you really memorize all the text in the novel, you really can't copy it just by reading it.
As for just remembering the general plot and hoping to write a novel as popular as the original work, Wang Shang can only say that it is too naive.
Things like writing style may not seem important to online writing, but they are actually very important.
The same outline, the same routine, what you write and what the great platinum writer writes are completely the same.
Wang Shang has a very clear understanding of his writing skills. He is an online writer who has become a monk on the way, and the practice time is not enough. He still needs time to learn and accumulate before he can improve his writing skills.
However, although his writing skills are not good, he may not be able to write a popular novel by following the popular formulas, but as long as he can write a novel with a monthly manuscript fee of over 10,000 yuan, Wang Shang himself will be very satisfied.
Wang Shang's current goal is also very clear. Before he can write a novel with a monthly income of more than 10,000 yuan, he must continue to work in Zhonglin.
Zhonglin is very suitable for an online writer like him.
Although the salary is very low, Wang Shang is very satisfied with the two points of commuting on time and relaxing work pressure.
Without working overtime, he would have stable time to write.
For online writers, a stable writing time is very important. This allows you to update on time every day and not lose readers due to frequent interruptions.
Some readers really don't want to read your book the next day if you interrupt it for one day. It's not that it's not good, it's just that... after being interrupted suddenly, the enthusiasm fades and there is no motivation to read it.
Wang Shang himself is such a person, especially when watching Tomato's Feijian Wenwen and Cangyuan Tu, it was obviously very enjoyable to keep up with the updates.
As a result, I only stopped reading for one day, and I couldn’t muster the energy to continue reading. In the end, I never picked it up to continue reading.
People like Platinum Master will have readers like Wang Shang every time they update. The loss of readers by street writers like Wang Shang will only be more terrifying.
Therefore, stable updates are very important for new writers like Wang Shang.
Secondly, Zhonglin's work pressure is relatively relaxed. In his previous life, he spent at least half of his working time reading novels.
Because there is only one computer, it takes three or four hours to render the renderings. During these three or four hours, Wang Shang is not easy to use a computer, and once he uses it, the rendering time will be even longer.
So when it's time to render the renderings, Wang Shang can use this short time to think about the plot and figure out the plot in advance after returning from get off work in the evening, so that the coding speed will be faster.
Wang Shang is not that kind of genius. If the work pressure is too great, he will not have time to think about the plot. If he does not think about the plot in advance, his writing speed will be very slow, and he cannot guarantee the amount of updates every day.
In short, Zhonglin is very suitable for Wang Shang to write novels while working.
But as long as the monthly manuscript fee exceeds 10,000 yuan, Wang Shang will resign without hesitation and return to his hometown to write full-time.
Compared to work, he still likes to devote himself wholeheartedly to the world of online writing.
And I believe that if his monthly income exceeds 10,000 yuan, his parents will not be as helpless towards him as they were in his previous life.
"That's it, turn off the lights and go to sleep, and start your great work of writing online tomorrow."
After thinking about the way to go in the future, Wang Shang's complicated heart settled down after his rebirth.
Time passed quickly, and number 23 turned to number 24 in the blink of an eye.
Just when the date on the phone changed from the 23rd to the 24th.
"bite!"
Wang Shang's cell phone placed next to his pillow suddenly lit up and vibrated. Wang Shang, who was about to fall asleep, subconsciously turned over and quickly picked up the phone and swiped it. Only then did he realize that it was not an alarm clock that went off, but a bank card transaction message.
.
"[ICBC] Your account with the last number 6774 completed the transfer transaction of RMB 243 at 00:00 on June 24, with a balance of 283."
This was the content of the message. Wang Shang rubbed his eyes, looking confused.
Who transferred the money to him?
It definitely couldn't be the parents, they would have said it in advance, and Wang Shang ruled out the possibility of the parents first.
"Who could that be? Could it be that someone made a wrong transfer?"
"Um...this is?"
Wang Shang, who was thinking about this unexplained transfer, suddenly felt his eyes dazzled, and then a familiar dark blue interface frame appeared in his eyes.
