Chapter 3: The First Reader from the Interstellar Space
Chapter 3: The First Reader from the Interstellar Space
Having fooled the supervisor, Lin Liuyi continued working.
However, her mood was different this time. The thought of receiving 5 yuan made Lin Liuyi very happy.
"Liu Yi, are you alright?" Jiang Yun, her dining companion, sent her a message cautiously.
Jiang Yun saw Lin Liuyi working with a smile on her face and thought something was wrong with her, since the supervisor had been bossing her around just now!
"It's nothing, my novel..." Lin Liuyi originally wanted to tell Jiang Yun that his novel had received donations from readers, but then he thought that the money hadn't arrived in his account yet, so he should keep a low profile.
She deleted the message she had just typed and replied to Jiang Yun: "It's nothing, I was just thinking that if I finished revising it this afternoon, I might be able to leave work early!"
"Oh, that's good, that's good! Keep it up!" Jiang Yun breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that nothing was wrong. Lin Liuyi was her only remaining meal buddy.
While Lin Liuyi was still immersed in the joyful atmosphere, Princess Mingyue of the interstellar world was not in such a good mood.
At first, she was surprised when she saw a novel appear in front of her.
In the heavily guarded royal palace of the empire, how could someone possibly penetrate layers of security and silently slip in a book? This is simply unacceptable!
What is the Empire's security system like? Is it just for show?
After throwing a huge tantrum in the palace, Princess Mingyue realized that she seemed to be the only one who could see the book.
Without batting an eye, she dismissed the guards, pretending not to see the "you're being unreasonable" look in their eyes. Then she opened the book, wanting to see what it was!
Upon seeing this, she understood.
Isn't this just a novel?
In the interstellar era, technology developed rapidly. After a period of stagnation, the entertainment industry gradually began to flourish again as technology stabilized.
Princess Mingyue is quite a long-time reader of this novel. Sometimes when she finds a novel she likes on the StarNet, she will generously tip it.
After figuring it out, Princess Mingyue felt relieved and began to read the novel carefully.
She was eager to see what kind of novel it was that had come to her in this way!
Seeing the female lead, Su Mingyue, travel back to the 1970s, Princess Mingyue was unhappy that the female lead's name was similar to hers, but she still found the setting novel.
After all, most interstellar novels are about mechs and insectoids, or about idol worship; there really aren't any historical fiction novels like this!
It's possible that some data was lost during human interstellar migration.
Princess Mingyue was so happy that she immediately clicked the reward button and rewarded 100 million interstellar coins.
Seeing that 100 million interstellar coins were indeed missing from her account, while the other party's account was a virtual account, she pondered something.
That's right, Princess Mingyue was still testing what exactly this thing was.
It now appears that even StarNet cannot intercept this.
As I said before, how could something that could easily breach the security of the Imperial Palace be just a simple book?
It's alright, if it doesn't work the first time, she can try a few more times. Anyway, Princess Mingyue has plenty of money and patience.
If the system knew what Princess Mingyue was thinking, it would definitely cry its heart out. It was just an ordinary distribution system!
Lin Liuyi didn't care whether Princess Mingyue was testing her or not; all she knew was that she was now rich!
This good mood lasted until even her supervisor's request for her to work overtime couldn't stop her.
"How about you do it tomorrow, Liu Yi?" The supervisor looked at Lin Liu Yi with a smile on her face and felt a little guilty.
Can't we really push him to the point of mental instability? Who works overtime and still smiles?
"It's okay, supervisor! I can do it! I promise to finish it today! Even if it means working overtime all night!" Lin Liuyi felt like he had inexhaustible energy.
The more she said that, the more frightened the supervisor became.
"Well, Liu Yi! Actually, it's not that urgent. Why don't you go home today and we'll talk about it tomorrow? Yes, you can go home now and we'll talk about it tomorrow!" The supervisor left in a hurry after saying that, afraid of hearing Lin Liu Yi say that she wanted to work overtime again.
"Hey, supervisor, it's me!" Before Lin Liu could even finish speaking, the supervisor had vanished. "Alright then, not having to work overtime isn't bad!"
Lin Liu felt even happier at once; what a wonderful day!
Even after boarding the crowded subway again and returning to her cramped rented room, her mood remained unaffected. She even happily added an extra egg to her noodles.
"Get rich! Tell me, isn't the name I gave you great? Hehe, 5 yuan!"
The system was happy, but not as happy as Lin Liuyi.
It felt that Lin Liuyi had a similar feeling to Fan Jin after passing the imperial examination, and of course it also told Lin Liuyi this description.
"You don't understand, that's 5 yuan! I can't earn that much even if I work hard all month! Do you think it's a small amount? 5 yuan is enough to pay off my student loans and still have some left over! Do you know what that means? It means I'm one step closer to my dream house!"
Lin Liuyi didn't expect the system to understand her feelings. As an ordinary person, receiving 5 yuan all at once was no different from winning the lottery!
What's wrong with her being happy?
"I didn't say I didn't want you to be happy, right? Host, you need to keep writing! I believe more and more readers will come to reward you! Then you won't be short of money!" The system knew the art of motivating people and made Lin Liuyi's blood boil.
"Will that day really come?" Forgive her, she was a poor woman, and she could only dream about getting rich overnight.
"Of course! As long as you work hard, everything will be alright!"
Hearing the system's affirmation, Lin Liuyi became more determined. Yes, as long as she worked hard at writing, she would definitely receive more rewards!
As expected, Lin Liuyi wrote more than he was supposed to today, and then fell asleep contentedly.
Princess Mingyue, on the other hand, received an inquiry from her mother.
"Mingyue, I heard that you reprimanded the palace guards today because of some unfounded accusation?"
"Mother, I just misjudged. But with the palace's security being so important, it's not a bad thing for me to pay more attention." Princess Mingyue felt a little embarrassed when she mentioned this, but she quickly found an excuse for herself.
"You need to be careful!" Queen Ser was at her wit's end with her mischievous little daughter.
"I understand, Mother. I have already sent people to deliver things to comfort them!" Princess Mingyue was no fool; as a member of the royal family, she had the means to manage her subordinates.
After her mother left, she continued reading the novel.
She was furious when she saw it.
How could the female lead be so poor! She just took a train to the countryside with only a small bundle in her arms?
No, she absolutely cannot allow a female protagonist with a similar name to her to be so poor!
