"what?"

Liu Yun couldn't believe what he heard.

The young doctor holding a coffee cup in front of him looked about the same age as Liu Yun.

But he looks like an unreliable man.

"Did I do something wrong? I thought I would be praised by you."

He raised his legs angrily, leaned back on the chair, and stretched out his hands, **** alternately, abruptly failing to reach the handle of the coffee cup.

Liu Yun felt his heart itch when he saw it, so he stood up helplessly and pushed the coffee cup in front of Mu Chun. I thought to myself, this person is really lazy, he doesn't even bother to pick up the coffee cup when he is lying down.

Seeing Mu Chun reclined and sipped his coffee with the movements of an acrobat, Liu Yun felt more and more that there was something wrong with his state recently, and he was probably looking for reasons not to sit in the study and work properly.

Although I know that it is impossible for a writer to maintain a good creative state every day 365 days a year, let alone for several years, without getting sick or encountering troubles, and writing strictly according to the schedule every day.

But you can't waste your time like this in a weird clinic with an even weirder doctor.

"Are you really not going to praise me?"

Mu Chun, who was still crying after drinking the coffee, asked Liu Yun arrogantly, "Could it be that you really don't think that what I do is meaningful at all, is it something that should be done?"

Liu Yun shook his head, but said, "Okay, should I thank you?"

"Of course you have to thank me, you science fiction writers all have to thank me."

Mu Chun raised his chin, did he really think he was a tsundere princess?

Liu Yun wanted to laugh but didn't want to.

"For that kind of person, it's fine to plagiarize yourself, and to comment randomly on other people's novels. You say that I treat others like others, what's wrong?"

The person Mu Chun mentioned was the reader who commented on Liu Yun's novel "Depending on Each Other" a few days ago. Unexpectedly, Mu Chun also read the novel and found the person who commented.

"This guy is actually an author."

When Mu Chun said this, Liu Yun was also taken aback.

It turned out to be an author.

It really didn't occur to me at all.

"How did you come up with the idea to study this comment?"

Liu Yun still couldn't help asking.

"I'm also a reader."

It's not like that. Liu Yun said in his heart.

After thinking about it, a few days ago when Mu Chun talked about the author's hobbies, he was really familiar with it, and he casually said a lot of interesting things about the author.

Of course, it is also possible that he just happened to read some articles such as writers' reviews, and he may not really be a person who likes to read.

There are a lot of people like this now, and they show off how many books they have read in various forums or book review areas when they have nothing to do. In fact, they just understand the general content of some stories, and they may not have read a book in person.

For example, those famous works, "Dune", "Lord of the Flies", or "Fire on the Abyss"...

Many people have heard of it, but how many have read it?

"Unexpectedly, I really found out that this person is actually an author, and I also found out that he has won some local sci-fi essay awards."

"Won an award? So you are a well-known author?"

There are not many science fiction authors, and there are only a few in the annual essay competition. If it is the grand prize winner, Liu Yun has no reason not to know.

"You said he plagiarized?"

"Yes, plagiarism."

Liu Yun couldn't believe Mu Chun's resolute tone.

"Plagiarized what? Domestic or foreign?"

"Abroad, do you know Ursula Le Guin?"

"You ask me if I know Ursula Le Guin? Just kidding, it's like asking me if I know Liu Cixin or Asimov."

"Very well, so you know it. Let me ask you again, how many science fiction readers in China do you think know Ursula Le Guin?"

"This is really not much. The author should know more. Readers may not be too familiar with Le Guin's works, although she is the same as C. S. Lewis, the author of "The Chronicles of Narnia". , and a great fantasy writer like Tolkien who wrote The Lord of the Rings."

"Do you think more people know Ursula Le Guin than they know Tolkien and Asimov?"

"It must be Tolkien and Asimov, the "Foundation" series, the three laws of robotics, and "Lord of the Rings", these are all familiar, but Le Guin, I am afraid that no one who knows her Learned so much about Asimov and Tolkien."

"That's right, so the author also thought that no one would know that he plagiarized Le Guin's novel."

"But didn't the judges find out? They actually won the award? Maybe it's not plagiarism, but the setting is somewhat similar. These things are not uncommon. After all, it is not so easy to write new ideas that no one has written before. thing."

"Basically none." Mu Chun sighed~lightnovelpub.net~How can it be possible to write novels that are completely refreshing now. "

"What did he copy? The Legend of Earthsea series or The Left Hand of Darkness?"

Mu Chun shook his head, as if he had seen all these works, shook his head, and shook his head again.

"What is that? Could it be "The Words of the World Are Forests"?"

"No."

Liu Yun doesn't know anymore, is there really a problem with recent memory? Is there anything Le Guin that he hasn't seen?

Liu Yun couldn't figure it out, he had already racked his brains, and his forehead hurt a little.

""The Changing Plane", do you know this novel?"

Liu Yun blushed, how could he have forgotten this novel, this is a collection of short stories by Le Guin, which was published by Xinxing Publishing House more than ten years ago, every short story in this book is It is an experiment for a new method of writing.

Le Guin combines an otherworldly travelogue with an investigative report on xenomorphs in a well-crafted format.

The book is full of Swiftian irony, and the fantasy part is similar to Douglas Adams' "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy"…

Although "Legend of Earthsea" is still one of the favorite fantasy novels of many foreign teenagers, this thin collection of short stories can be said to be a pearl in terms of surprise and wonder.

But this book has been out of stock for a long time. Liu Yun has been looking for this book, but he has never been able to buy it. Second-hand booksellers are asking for a price of more than 1,000 yuan per copy, which really makes Liu Yun daunting.

Relying on the English level that barely passed CET-6, Liu Yun has read some English versions of this book, which are not complete, but only a few of them.

I forgot about this book. It really shouldn't be.
