Chapter 8: Exchange for the Divine Artifact – Frozen Tilapia; Capitalist President

[System Shop] [Third Category] [Items]

A weapon exuding a chilling aura came into Luo Xiao's view.

Five large characters appeared prominently on the system panel: [Frozen Tilapia]

【Frozen Tilapia】: An item from the Three-Body Problem world. It can be used as a weapon. Its sharpness is similar to that of the Windhawk Sword, a five-star weapon from the Teyvat continent, and it also has its own ice elemental power.

【Features】: Never wears out, never melts, and has unlimited durability!

[Skill]: Cuts off something from an enemy, dealing ten thousand times the damage. Only effective against male targets.

[Introduction]: Frozen tilapia in the refrigerator! After the fish is frozen solid, the row of spines on its back looks like a sharp knife. Through special system modifications, it has evolved into a very practical weapon.

[Price]: Worth it if you urge for more updates. (Special offer for new readers)

Looking at the familiar weapon, Luo Xiao exclaimed, "That's it, bro!"

This frozen tilapia knife is exactly the dream knife I've always wanted!

Which young man would refuse a sword made from frozen tilapia?

Don't underestimate frozen tilapia. First, there was the frozen tilapia in "The Three-Body Problem" that made the world famous, and then there was Gao Qisheng, the frozen fish god in "The Storm," who became famous overnight.

Most importantly, this weapon is durable, reliable, economical, and can be used for a long time.

Moreover, the weapon's indestructible nature makes its cost-effectiveness extremely high, making it an excellent choice as a self-defense weapon.

The most important thing is that it's cheap!

It's not that I can't afford a large swordfish, it's just that frozen tilapia is more cost-effective!

With frozen tilapia in hand, I'm not afraid of anything, not even a fat lady, or a whole army of Hilichurls from the treasure-hunting gang!

Without saying a word, Luo Xiao bought the divine weapon.

[System: Host has successfully purchased frozen tilapia using update request points!]

He then switched the system shop to the [System Shop] [Second Category] [Talent Category], and reluctantly spent his update points to buy the talent - Swift as a Brush!

【Swift as a Pen】: A functional talent that greatly increases the host's hand speed. Whether writing with a pen or typing with a typewriter, typing speed will increase tenfold, and the host will not feel tired!

After buying those two items, Luo Xiao still had some update request points left. She went to the [System Shop], [First Category], [Literature], and found [The Three-Body Problem] (the complete trilogy). The price was update request points, so she bought it without hesitation!

The speed of an octopus paired with the pinnacle of science fiction, "The Three-Body Problem"!

Who else!

Just ask me, who else is there?!

"Falling petals, your swaying beauty; fragrant blossoms, stirring up memories of the past..."

"I'd be willing to become a floating duckweed on the lake's surface; just to be with you, on the ripples of time..."

After making some purchases in the system store, Luo Xiao walked lightly and happily. He hummed a hit song by Song Ge and walked into the bathroom in a cheerful mood. He gently turned the faucet and let the hot water slowly fill the bathtub.

Steam rose into the air, carrying a touch of warmth and comfort.

Luo Xiao planned to immerse herself in a hot bath to completely relax her body and mind.

After all, two and a half months of intensive writing had pushed his body and mind to their limits.

He recalled the hard work he had put in during that time. To write the article for Steambird Newspaper, he had spent two and a half months writing it out stroke by stroke with paper and pen.

The feeling of handwriting was completely different from typing on a keyboard. The fatigue between his fingers and the sound of the pen tip scratching on the paper were deeply etched in his memory.

Calluses had even started to appear on his palms, cough cough... definitely not because he had done too much handicraft work.

Just as Luo Xiao was about to take off his clothes and get into the bathtub, he suddenly remembered something.

Fontaine's technological level is actually quite advanced; they had already developed a typewriter long ago. This thought flashed through Luo Xiao's mind, and his eyes immediately lit up with excitement.

"Once the first batch of royalties for 'The Three-Body Problem' comes in, I'm going to buy the best typewriter!" Luo Xiao secretly decided.

He could imagine that with a typewriter, writing efficiency would be greatly improved and the burden on his fingers would be greatly reduced.

Thinking of this, Luo Xiao felt even more cheerful. He gently stepped into the steaming bathtub, the hot water enveloping his body and bringing him unparalleled comfort and relaxation.

He closed his eyes, his mind filled with wonderful dreams for the future.

……

Steambird Newspaper, President's Office.

The president's office was a room filled with a classical atmosphere and an industrial revolution style. The walls were covered with blueprints of various steam-powered machines, and the bookshelves were filled with various newspapers and novels.

In the center of this office sat a gentleman with a mustache, wearing a one-way mirror and a top hat—Charles, the editor-in-chief of the Steambird newspaper.

Charles had a pipe dangling from his lips, his eyes fixed on Ou Fu through a one-way mirror.

As the editor-in-chief of Steambird Newspaper, Ou Fu had just escaped from a storm of demanding more updates and hadn't even had a chance to rest before rushing to the president's office to report on the explosive popularity of "The Three-Body Problem" and the readers' frantic demands for more updates.

"Hmm... I understand what you've said. So, how many copies of our Steambird Newspaper's first issue of the fiction column sold?" Charles asked, taking a drag of his cigarette after sitting down in his executive chair.

For him, it doesn't matter what kind of novel becomes a hit or how crazy readers are about following the updates; what matters is the number of newspapers sold.

"President, the first issue of Steambird Newspaper's fiction column has already sold 10,000 copies, and the number is still rising!" Ou Fu's voice was filled with excitement and disbelief.

Upon hearing O'F's words, Charles's eyes widened instantly, and he almost dropped his pipe.

It's only been less than an hour since it went on sale! Ten thousand copies sold so quickly?! His eyes gleamed with surprise through the one-way mirror, as if he were confirming that he hadn't misheard.

It's important to understand that even though Steambird Newspaper is the largest newspaper in Fontaine and even the entire Teyvat continent, it can only sell around 50,000 copies a day on a regular basis. This is only achieved when Steambird delivers the newspaper on time, combined with the sales of Steambird Newspaper's overseas branches.

But this first issue of the novel column newspaper has sold 10,000 copies in less than an hour since it went on sale, and that's without any customers subscribing!

A ripple of emotion stirred within Charles. He knew that the explosive popularity of "The Three-Body Problem" would bring unprecedented opportunities to Steambird Newspaper.

His eyes gleamed with the prospect of business, and he also developed a strong interest in the mysterious author, "Xiao Xiao".

He slowly stood up, walked to the window, and gazed at the bustling street outside, his heart filled with anticipation and longing for the future.

Charles took a deep breath, turned to Ou Fu and said, "Arrange it immediately. I want to meet this Mr. Xiao Xiao in person. Such a genius cannot be missed!"
