No longer waiting for the arrival of recommended text messages, Li Minghui's daily life has long been scheduled, regular and fulfilling. Although there will be many more points of faith in the future, Li Minghui is not willing to waste time on his own rebirth in this world. He does not want his life to be so mediocre again, he does not want to wait for the future, but to seize the present, grasp every opportunity that can improve himself.
Think about it, more than half a month ago, he was still a confused beauty stylist in the imperial capital, but now he is the author of the popular novel "Assassinating the Immortal". All of this, although with the help of creative software and classic books from his past life memories, also relied on Li Minghui's own efforts. At least for "Assassinating the Immortal", he could only remember the general plot, but the most important writing was completed by him.
Although the creation software can make Li Minghui a genius, it is still because of Li Minghui's own efforts that Xian Yan is getting better and better, and has even gradually surpassed the classics of his previous life.
Only by living in adversity, Li Minghui cherished this hard-won opportunity even more, and was more willing to work hard and improve. The road ahead is bound to be very broad, but all of this requires effort.
And now Li Minghui is also gradually liking to improve himself every day, reading literary classics and enriching himself. This in itself is one of the most precious wealth in life.
At 9:30, Li Minghui appeared punctually on the third floor of the Chinese Book City. He walked to a bookshelf with ease, pulled out a book, and his heart skipped a beat as he opened his writing software. With his accumulated literary knowledge, his writing speed had increased significantly. In just half an hour, he swiftly finished two books, and more incredibly, he absorbed all the knowledge and literary nutrients from these two books into his own mind, just like a human-shaped scanner.
What's also painful for Li Minghui is that, perhaps because he has improved too quickly, the difficulty of selecting books has become higher and higher. Ordinary literary classics can no longer provide him with knowledge to absorb, and only those classic world-renowned masterpieces have some value for him now.
"Perhaps soon, this Chinese book city will no longer have the books I need!"
Li Minghui's heart moved slightly, and he appeared quite confident.
Also, with Li Minghui's terrifying speed and absorption ability, even world-renowned classics would become less effective in improving him. Although the Chinese Book City is also a large book city, the number of books it collects cannot be compared to that of a library. While there are many literary masterpieces, most of them are bestsellers, and those obscure and difficult-to-understand books are rare, but they are exactly what Li Minghui needs.
He shook his head, then seriously flipped through and selected some books. Li Minghui was surprised to find that it was actually very difficult to find one that caught his eye, which made him slightly depressed.
If you are a true literature enthusiast, there is no such trouble. They only need to choose a book they like and that's it. But Li Minghui has a purpose, he needs books that can improve himself, not just waste his time.
So looking for a book is such a trouble.
"It seems like I'll have to go to the library to study from now on, what a hassle!"
Li Minghui furrowed his brow and let out a silent sigh in his heart.
The nearest library is at least five stops away, plus the road to the community, which adds up to seven stops. The total distance is almost four kilometers, and walking is clearly not an option. This requires Li Minghui to take the bus, but this will greatly delay his time.
"Alas, it seems I have no choice but to read books online from now on. Although they may not be complete, at least it's less of a hassle. However, this means I'll need to set aside some time every day to exercise, as writing web novels and spending more time in front of the computer will be extremely detrimental to my health if I don't make time for physical activity."
After thinking for a long time and having no other choice, Li Minghui found a book to read with great difficulty, then came to the area, quietly found a seat and started reading.
Before sitting down, Li Minghui subconsciously took a glance around, but he couldn't find Yeh Xiaoyu's figure anywhere. This made him feel slightly disappointed and at the same time decided that from now on, he could only bid farewell to this Chinese bookstore.
Thinking of this, Li Minghui felt a slight sense of loss. After all, Ye Xiaoyu was the first girl to make his heart skip a beat, and now they would never meet again, leaving him with a faint feeling of melancholy.
Of course, Li Minghui with very low EQ soon sank into the world of famous books, but also temporarily forgot his troubles and read with relish.
The Paris Notre Dame series, Li Minghui has finished reading it, now he is reading another classic, Red and Black, which was once considered a banned book.
The Red and the Black revolves around the personal struggles and ultimate failure of its protagonist, Julien Sorel, particularly in his two love affairs, broadly displaying "the social atmosphere brought by successive governments to the French people in the early 1830s", strongly criticizing the reaction of the nobility during the Restoration period, the darkness of the church, and the vulgarity of the new bourgeoisie. Therefore, although it takes Julien's love life as the main line, it is not a romance, but a "political" novel.
As a world-renowned novel, the literary value of "Red and Black" is self-evident, while its revelation of human nature's dark side and portrayal of characters' psychology are also very helpful for Li Minghui's growth.
Time passed minute by minute, and Li Minghui also gradually became engrossed in this classic novel. The title "Red and Black" actually revealed the ideas expressed in the book.
Red and Black, two colors with extremely strong contrast, are juxtaposed in the title. At first glance, it seems vague and elusive, but after repeatedly savoring the entire book, one deeply feels that these two colors have indeed condensed the most essential meaning and value of the work.
Red and black, as two tangible colors, appear many times throughout the work, providing basic information for thinking about the deep symbolic meaning of these two colors and exploring the theme.
Of course, Li Minghui didn't finish the whole thing, but he already felt the strong impact of that color, the bloody exposure of human nature, and the criticism of real society, which made Li Minghui's heart both shocked and slightly enlightened.
This is a welcome progress, and it's also the fermentation of Li Minghui's reading of famous works for many days. This time he finally didn't use creative software, and it was the first time that he could clearly feel his improvement!
