Genshin Impact was written as Three-Body Problem, but due to delayed updates, Fou locked him in a da

A day later, Luo Xiao finished the full manuscript of "The Wandering Earth" and, as usual, submitted it to the Steambird Newspaper's submission point.

There, newspaper steambirds would come to collect manuscripts on time, and there were even wind-up guards stationed there to prevent anyone from stealing the manuscripts.

At this time, the entire continent of Teyvat was immersed in the craze of the "Three-Body Problem" series.

The stories of "The Three-Body Problem 1: The Past of Blue Star" and "The Three-Body Problem 2: The Dark Forest" have deeply captivated countless people who were not originally enthusiastic about novels.

These works are not merely stories; they have become a phenomenon, a cultural marker exploring cosmology and human nature.

In response to the calls from readers, Steambird Newspaper also compiled "The Three-Body Problem: The Blue Star Past" into a complete novel and began selling it to the public.

After the satisfying ending of "The Dark Forest" in "The Three-Body Problem 2", people's expectations for "Death's End" in "The Three-Body Problem 3" reached their peak.

The enigmatic title and the unknown plot developments fill people with curiosity and anticipation for the future.

Everyone has this question in their mind: What does "death's immortality" mean? And what unknown realm will it lead humanity to?

Meanwhile, at the Steambird Newspaper, Ou Fu felt helpless in the face of piles of letters urging her to update her work.

Letters from all over the world came like waves, each one filled with eager anticipation for Teacher Xiaoxiao's creative work.

Readers from other countries spared no expense in postage to send letters to Steambird Newspaper, urging author 'Xiao Xiao' to update the third part of The Three-Body Problem.

Ou Fu sighed inwardly, marveling at how this mysterious author not only possessed exceptional writing talent but also had a charm that captivated readers across the entire continent.

She even fantasized that, if possible, she would be willing to stay by Teacher 'Xiaoxiao's' side 24 hours a day, personally urging him to update faster, and even seducing him to update more quickly.

But in reality, apart from paying royalties to the bank account provided by "Xiaoxiao" on time each time, Steambird Newspaper had no direct contact with this mysterious author.

His mystique is like the universe in his works—unfathomable and untouchable.

So even though Steambird Newspaper received so many letters urging for updates, Ou Fu couldn't urge 'Xiao Xiao' to update. She could only try to find out 'Xiao Xiao's' whereabouts through various channels.

……

In the dim light of dawn, Luo Xiao walked lightly out of the Steambird Newspaper's submission point, clutching a copy of the manuscript for "Wandering Blue Star" tightly in her hand.

His gaze lingered on every corner of Baisong Town Square. Although it was not as bustling as the Upper City, the lively yet peaceful atmosphere reflected people's love for life.

Street vendors were displaying ingredients for various kinds of pastries, so Luo Xiao bought some to make her own Fontainebleau specialty pastries at home.

Back in his cabin, he had just put his things down when Navia appeared at the door like a gentle breeze.

Her arrival always brought a bit of surprise and delight, and Luo Xiao habitually welcomed her with a smile.

"Navia, you're here! Come in, I'll make you some tea." Luo Xiao's voice was full of warmth and care.

He turned and walked nimbly into the kitchen, skillfully lit the stove, placed the kettle on it, and the sound of boiling water conveyed a sense of homey warmth.

Before long, a pot of black tea was brewed, emitting an enticing aroma.

Luo Xiao walked back to the living room with two steaming cups of black tea, and handed one to Navia with a smile: "Have some tea, it's freshly brewed black tea."

Navia nodded gently, took the teacup, and looked at Luo Xiao gratefully. Just then, Luo Xiao's gaze inadvertently caught a small wound on Navia's arm.

"Navia, are you hurt?" Luo Xiao asked anxiously.

"It's nothing serious, just a minor injury," Navia replied casually, seemingly not wanting to worry too much about the small wound.

Luo Xiao's worries only deepened. He quickly retrieved the first-aid kit from the room and insisted on treating Navia's wound. Although Navia felt it was making a fuss over nothing, she gently extended her arm under Luo Xiao's insistence, allowing him to treat it carefully.

"Miss Navia, you're a girl too. You should be more careful about these kinds of minor injuries, otherwise it'll leave scars," Luo Xiao muttered to himself as he treated the wound.

Navia didn't refute, but gave Luo Xiao a deep look and replied affectionately, "Okay, okay, I understand. I'll be more careful next time."

During this heartwarming interaction, Luo Xiao finally found an opportunity. He hesitated before asking the question that had been bothering him: "Um, Navia, there's a question I'm not sure if I should ask..."

Navia waved her hand gently, "Ask me anything you want to ask, and I'll answer you if I can."

Luo Xiao took a breath and cautiously asked the question that had been lingering in his mind for a long time: "Why do you want that ring I found in the ruins so much?"

He wasn't sure if his question would touch on Navia's secrets or her most sensitive inner world.

"I thought you were going to ask something else, but it turns out it's just this."

Surprisingly, Navia remained as calm as ever.

"That's just because I want to know the truth about my father's death." Navia's words carried a hint of sadness, and a bitter smile appeared on her lips, as if she were recalling something.

“You know, for so many years, I have been searching for the truth. I don’t believe that my father is the ‘unjust Carles’ that people say he is.”

Luo Xiao listened to Navia's words, a complex emotion welling up inside him. He responded softly, his voice tinged with surprise and sympathy: "So that's how it is..."

Navia nodded gently, her gaze revealing a profound meaning: "Hmm... this matter cannot be explained in a short time. I will tell you in detail next time when there is a chance."

A brief silence fell over the room, as if both were pondering the other's words. Luo Xiao broke the silence: "Speaking of which, what treasure did you bring today?"

After bandaging Navia's wound, Luo Xiao casually asked this question.

Navia nodded, then bent down and took out her first treasure from the package.

The pill looked ordinary, but Luo Xiao knew that none of Navia's treasures were simple.

Navia placed the pill in Luo Xiao's palm and explained softly, "This pill is a creation embodying the wisdom of the previous Grass God. Anyone who takes it will immediately gain more wisdom."

A hint of shock flashed in Luo Xiao's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.

Seeing this, Navia leaned forward slightly, a hint of expectation in her eyes, and tentatively asked, "How about we exchange it for that ring?"

Luo Xiao was silent for a moment. He looked at Navia deeply, then carefully placed the pill back on the table: "Not only this, I also brought another treasure."

Navia then took out a bunch of strange and unusual items from her package. Although these items were not valuable, each one was very meaningful.

Luo Xiao examined the treasures for a moment, then took a deep breath and said firmly, "I'm sorry, Navia, I still can't give you the ring."
