Chapter 16: The Readers' First Interaction
Chapter 16: The Readers' First Interaction
What can Wu Mingyue use as a reward? Of course, it's crystal cores. She's accumulated quite a few these past few days fighting zombies.
So far, she hasn't found any use for this thing, but with the mentality of "might as well pick it up if it's free," she hasn't let any crystal core go to waste.
Now it seems that using the money for rewards is just right; as for supplies, she can't bear to part with them.
The system was still feeling the pinch of the energy it had wasted in building the reader group when it received a donation.
"Host! A reward has been given! Your 5th reader has arrived!" The system was overjoyed. The zombie's crystal core was perfect for it, as it contained a lot of energy.
"So fast!" Lin Liuyi had been wondering when his fifth reader would arrive.
To my surprise, the goal was achieved in just one day.
"Get rich! What about the reward?" Lin Liu looked at the amount in the system for a long time, but it hadn't changed.
"Host, this reward is in the form of crystal cores. I really need the energy inside. Could you give me your half first? I'll return it to you next time if there are rewards in interstellar coins or gold," the system said apologetically, unable to resist its craving for the energy.
"Crystal core, the legendary zombie crystal core?" Lin Liuyi became interested upon hearing this. She originally wanted to take a look, but then she thought about the zombie world and what if there were some viruses? So she decided against it and just let the system have it if it liked.
"Fine, anyway, I haven't settled the bill for my fan with you yet, so you can deduct it yourself."
"Don't worry, host. The system will be fair and just, and will not cheat anyone, young or old!" The system happily swallowed the crystal core and went to replenish its energy.
"What about the readership?" Lin Liuyi was still thinking about that.
"It's on your computer!"
Sure enough, when Lin Liu opened his computer version of Green Bubble, he already had a "reader group".
Upon opening the group, Lin Liuyi saw a string of "Bright Moon" messages. He silently changed the group name to "Myriad Realms Readers Group" and then added a smiling emoji.
We waited for everyone's response, but no one responded.
Princess Mingyue was pondering this when, following the sudden appearance of the book, a group chat suddenly appeared.
Moreover, the group chat was called "Multiverse Readers Group." Multiverse? She didn't quite believe that anyone could actually connect to multiple worlds.
What if it's a trap? And that smiling expression looks so smug.
Liu Mingyue was heartbroken by her mother and had been recuperating for the past few days while also investigating the truth. She had no idea that the group chat had appeared.
Grandma Liu was engrossed in harvesting potatoes, hehe, this sweet potato harvest was bountiful!
According to the information Lin Liuyi had given her, sweet potatoes could be eaten as a staple food. Since food was the most important thing, her family worked hard to harvest potatoes.
Grandma Liu was extremely shocked to see that such a single potato vine could produce so many potatoes. She wondered how much she could harvest from this plot of land and whether she should sell the harvested potatoes.
In her view, this was both something new and a source of sustenance, so it was best to hand it over to the higher-ups.
Although selling it for money is a good way to make money, their family might not be able to keep it. It's better to try their luck at higher levels. This is the wisdom of the working people.
Yang Mingyue was also conflicted. She noticed the group chat immediately, but years of living cautiously had instilled in her a cautious attitude. With the idea that if everyone else was silent, she would also remain silent, so she chose to stay quiet.
Wu Mingyue was still immersed in her newly discovered spatial ability. She decided to take this opportunity to stockpile supplies with her friends, so she didn't have time to pay attention to the new group chat.
So after sending out the message, Lin Liuyi began to wait for a pleasant exchange with his readers from other worlds, but he was left disappointed.
She wasn't too disappointed when she didn't receive a response, figuring that time might flow differently in different worlds, and turned back to working on her new book.
When the story of the real and fake heiress was published, even the authors followed by Shizi.com hesitated, because this topic had been written to death on the site.
If they keep doing the same thing, will anyone actually watch it?
As a result, some people chose to continue writing, while others gave up.
When readers of the website saw that all the newly added stories were about real and fake heiresses and young masters, they thought there was some new trope. But when they clicked in, they found that it was the same old formula, and immediately a barrage of criticism ensued.
It's not like no one has complained about how clichéd Lin Liuyi's writing is; well, does she not know that?
Who can blame them when those particular readers enjoy reading this? As the saying goes, it's worth it to bow down for a meager living!
Just look at all the tips she gives out, who could refuse!
In the end, it was Liu Mingyue who replied to Lin Liuyi's group chat message first.
"What is this?" came Liu Mingyue's question.
"Hello readers, this is a reader group created to allow readers to better communicate with the author. You can speak freely here!" The system perfectly fulfilled its role as a guiding assistant.
After a moment's thought, Liu Mingyue understood, "What does 'myriad worlds' mean? Are we readers all from different worlds?"
Look, as expected of a daughter of a high-ranking family, she got straight to the heart of the matter with just one sentence.
"Yes, our books are distributed throughout countless worlds. You are all chosen readers in each world, and here, you can communicate freely across time and space."
"Myriad worlds?"
"Yes!" The system felt that it wasn't exaggerating; once it had energy, it would definitely be able to distribute it to countless worlds.
Princess Mingyue couldn't sit still any longer. This wasn't a trap after all, so she quickly joined the group chat.
"Then I am from the interstellar world. What world is this friend from?"
"Me? We're in the Great Qian Dynasty! What is the interstellar world?"
"The Great Qian Dynasty? Never heard of it?" Princess Mingyue was also completely confused.
"It should be the ancient world!" the system thoughtfully explained silently.
"Oh, I see! Do you have phoenix crowns where you live? You don't know, but a few days ago we unearthed an ancient phoenix crown inlaid with kingfisher feathers and pearls. It's absolutely gorgeous!" When Princess Mingyue mentioned the ancient world, she couldn't help but think of the exquisite headdresses and clothing she had seen.
Girls, of course, all have a love for beauty.
"I haven't seen what you're talking about before, but I imagine it must be extremely beautiful. I have seen the crimson tortoiseshell phoenix crown with its intricate silk rings from afar, and it was also incredibly beautiful!"
"Do you have any photos? I'd like to see them!"
"Photographs?" Liu Mingyue was a little confused. What was this?
"Oh right, I forgot. You don't have these things where you are. It's such a pity." Princess Mingyue said with great regret. They sounded so beautiful, and she couldn't see them herself.
Suddenly, an idea struck her. "Group owner, you can create a multi-dimensional group chat, so why not start a multi-dimensional purchasing agent?"
