after one day.

Liyue Harbor.

Sunlight filters through the thin mist of Liyue Harbor, casting golden rays onto the ancient stone paths, creating a warm scene as it mingles with the morning dew.

Along the streets, vendors had already begun their day's hustle and bustle, and among the crowds, the newsboys from Steambird Newspaper stood out.

Thanks to the efforts of Ove and Camille, the Steambird Newspaper's fiction column newspaper in the five countries was published on schedule.

As the morning sun shines on the land of Liyue Harbor, the street vendors often begin to call out their wares.

"Newspapers for sale! Newspapers for sale! The latest issue of Steambird newspaper."

"Sir, would you like to buy a newspaper?"

"We have a buy-two-get-one-free promotion! Just buy two items and you can buy one more!"

Amidst the shouts of these vendors, the voices of many newspaper boys could also be heard.

Besides storytelling and the Seven Sages summoning, newspapers are the most popular form of entertainment in Liyue, so the Steambird Newspaper Company has a wide range of business in Liyue.

In addition, there are many merchant guilds in Liyue, where information is money. So regardless of the size of the guild, they often subscribe to a Steambird newspaper to get information as soon as possible.

In front of the Chamber of Commerce, a businessman stood with a furrowed brow, holding today's Steambird newspaper. He was used to checking business news in the newspaper every morning, but today, his routine was disrupted by a thick novel.

His gaze lingered on the two large characters "The Three-Body Problem" on the cover, and he felt a sense of unprecedented bewilderment.

In particular, the novel on the cover is neither like Liyue's ancient martial arts novels nor like Inazuma's light novels; instead, it is a completely new style.

However, as he opened the newspaper, his confusion gradually turned into surprise. The novel was rich in content and the story was captivating, offering a completely new reading experience.

Because other countries do not publish their first issue of the novel column newspaper, a copy of the first issue is included with each second issue of the Steambird Newspaper's novel column newspaper.

When the business owner opened the first issue of the newspaper and began to read, he was deeply attracted by the new world and various science fiction props created in "The Three-Body Problem".

"A signal tower?"

"The Three-Body Problem game?"

"Stars, galaxies?"

"The Trisolaran Fleet?"

……

at the same time.

Hall of Rebirth.

"Zhongli! Stop drinking your tea and come check today's newspaper! There's big news!!"

Walnut, her twin ponytails swaying, skipped and hopped into the Hall of Rebirth, carrying the latest Steambird newspaper, and walked up to Zhongli.

"Oh? Master, what's the matter that you're in such a hurry?"

Zhongli slowly put down his teacup and asked in a leisurely manner.

As the Geo Archon of Liyue, he can discover any major events immediately, and he doesn't wait until they are published in the newspapers to find out.

Therefore, Zhongli did not take the "big news" that Hu Tao mentioned to heart.

Have you ever heard of stars and galaxies?

"Stars and galaxies?"

When faced with Hu Tao's question, Zhong Li was clearly stumped. As the guardian deity of Liyue, her understanding of the world was limited to the realm of nations.

"How did you learn these two words, Master?"

"This is it! This is the big news I was talking about."

As Hu Tao spoke, she handed the newspaper in her hand to Zhong Li.

Although Hu Tao could read and write normally, she didn't read newspapers much due to her personality. But today, she suddenly bought a newspaper and was so excited. Zhong Li didn't even need to think to know that something interesting had attracted her.

With a hint of anticipation in her heart, Zhongli opened the newspaper and began to read its contents.

"From a purely rational perspective, the contents of this book... far exceed my comprehension."

"However, based on the content above, I can generally understand the story it describes."

About 10 minutes later, Zhongli finished reading the first issue of the newspaper, slowly closed it, and said to Hu Tao.

"Oh? You finished reading so quickly? Then Zhongli, tell me, what kind of place is that Blue Star?"

Hu Tao trusted her guest advisor's abilities completely, and immediately raised her questions to him.

Zhongli looked up, his eyes as bright as stars, his voice calm and steady: "Blue Star, according to the current descriptions in the newspapers, Blue Star is a place similar to our Teyvat continent, and there are many countries on it."

"From the content of the novel, we know that the country where the protagonist lives has to work six days and then rest for one day, and it seems to be a 996 work system."

"In addition, during the Spring Festival each year, which is equivalent to the Lantern Festival in Liyue, the country only has a short holiday of a few days, and it is accompanied by a system called the adjustment of work schedule."

"What is a time off in lieu of leave?" Hu Tao blinked her plum blossom eyes curiously and asked, resting her chin on her hands.

"The system of adjusting work hours, rationally speaking, is a system invented by experts from some country that requires you to adjust your other rest time to the time when you should originally have a holiday."

After saying this, Zhongli picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip slowly.

His movements were so calm and unhurried, as if he were savoring a vintage wine, and every detail revealed his respect and love for life.

"Oh? That's terrible? Looks like Liyue is much better off. At least we get a month-long holiday for the Lantern Festival. Every year at that time, I, the sect leader, can finally relax and have some fun~"

After hearing this, a thoughtful look flashed across Hu Tao's eyes, then a faint smile appeared on her lips, and she cast a sympathetic glance at the people of that world.

"Oh, right, I have a newspaper here, I think it's the second issue."

"I didn't expect Steambird Newspaper to adopt my marketing tactics, buy one get one free, wow~ they really know how to do business!"

As Hu Tao spoke, she produced a newspaper as if by magic.

Seemingly drawn in by the content of "The Three-Body Problem," Zhong Li's eyes revealed a hint of urgency.

"Master, let me also analyze this newspaper..."

"Hehe, I didn't expect you to be so interested in something, Zhongli. Alright, I already saw it on the way back, so here you go!"

After taking the newspaper from Hu Tao, Zhong Li continued reading:

After some time, Ye Jie, as a widow, began a new life with her only memento from her deceased husband—her daughter, Yang Xiaodong. During this time, she met Elon Musk, the true mastermind behind the Three-Body Organization.

Elon Musk, a philanthropist born into a wealthy family, is dedicated to planting trees in barren mountains and protecting endangered birds. Despite his immense wealth, he cannot ignore the ongoing destruction of the natural environment by humankind. Driven by a desire to save the planet, Musk resolved to seek external assistance. Thus, the financially powerful Musk and the technologically skilled Ye Jie quickly joined forces to establish the Three-Body Organization. In this collaboration, they exchanged their signature greeting: "We are comrades now!"

Three years later, Ye Jie was invited to a massive ship, which was Musk's second H base. Here, relying on the cosmic coordinates provided by Ye Jie, they successfully established communication with the Trisolaran civilization.

At this base, the first members of the Trisolaran Organization bestowed upon Ye Jie the title of Supreme Commander. While chanting slogans like, "Destroy human tyranny, the world belongs to Trisolaris!", the members expressed their unwavering faith and loyalty to Ye Jie. At this moment, Ye Jie not only became the core leader of the Trisolaran Organization but also a key figure in driving this interstellar movement.
