This top guy is crazy!

Chapter 372: The Three-Body Problem 2 is released

"Rub your hands~"

"It all depends on this wave!"

"I sincerely hope that the scalpers will be kind and behave like human beings again!"

"If scalpers don't even let go of The Three-Body Problem and insist on snatching it away, we might as well pack it up and send it to the Three-Body World, where real Trisolarans can teach them a lesson about life—oh no, just feed it to the Trisolarans!"

“Filling in the gap? That’s too good of an easy deal for them! We need to arrange for them to go on the Judgment Day in The Three-Body Problem and let them experience the Guzheng Project!”

"The Trisolarans hereby declare: Sorry, we are not interested in that kind of meaningless food."

“Please, let me get it!!!”

"If I could get it, I would rather eat at Michelin three-star restaurants and drive a Rolls-Royce when I go out."

"No, why are you eating and taking at the same time?!"

Finally, it was early morning of the next day.

Countless fans have been waiting on major e-commerce platforms for a long time. All major e-commerce platforms have put up splash page ads for "The Three-Body Problem 2: The Dark Forest", and clicking on them will automatically jump to the purchase page.

They also pinned "The Three-Body Problem 2: The Dark Forest" to the top column of the homepage, which was a great display of power.

At this moment, when the time came, countless fans began to compete with each other in terms of hand speed.
But some fans with slow internet speeds found that only half a minute had passed and they had not yet paid, and they realized that they could no longer pay. When they went back to check, they found that the first batch of pre-sales for "The Three-Body Problem 2: The Dark Forest" had ended!

In front of the computer, countless hearts are trembling, and countless wails are echoing:

"No, three million copies. They're all sold out?"

In fact, there were only one million copies pre-sold online, and two million copies were sold offline. It is a bit exaggerated to say three million copies.

"Are you crazy? What are you doing instead of sleeping?"

"My internet speed is obviously quite good, why does it fail at the critical moment? Ahhhh! I'm so angry!"

"Oh my god, I was just debating whether to buy the hardcover edition, but... Wow, it's out of stock!"

"Why do scalpers exist in this world?"

"Shit! I checked on all four platforms! And they're all sold out!"

"I'm so angry! Don't tell me you guys bought them all!"

"Hahahaha!"

The fans who got the book were so proud that they posted the pre-sale records directly. Most people only pre-ordered one copy, but there were always some people who pre-ordered five, ten, or even twenty copies, which made people angry.

"Hahahaha, if I can grab it I'll win! It feels so good!"

"Twenty books isn't a lot, right? I bought them for a friend in the group."

"The speed of hand that says I've been single for ten years."

Someone immediately replied to him:

“May you stay single for another ten years.”

That person: "Hey, no, why are you still making personal attacks?"

"Who told you to be so ungrateful after getting such an advantage?"

Although the online pre-sale was over, the offline sales had not yet started. At around 2:6 the next day, many people were waiting in front of the major bookstores, waiting to rush in and buy "The Three-Body Problem " as soon as possible, and many even lined up at around :.

Some people who got up early to go to work didn't know what was going on and even took videos. They rode their electric bikes from the end of the line and drove forward along the line. As a result, they drove more than a hundred meters and turned two corners but still couldn't see the end of the line.

As he was filming, he was also wondering:
"What are you doing?"

"What are you buying?"

"Fuck, they're still buying and queuing." "What good stuff is that? Doesn't it cost money? Why are you queuing like this?"

"This is definitely a video that can't be watched for more than a minute. What on earth are they buying? I don't understand! Is it milk tea?"

“Still in line!”

“Still in line!”

At the end of the ride, he began to doubt his life. He thought the line would be endless, until he saw the bookstore at the end of the line. Then he became even more confused: "Bookstore? What's there to queue for in a bookstore? I'm confused. What on earth are they queuing for?"

He then posted the video on TikTok.

Netizens answered his doubts:
"The Three-Body Problem 2! You don't even know this! They were buying it like crazy last night!"

"Let me tell you, the photo taken at the bookstore next to our school was even more outrageous and longer than this!"

"Stop talking. I just lined up after I dropped my daughter off at school."

"It's understandable. After all, it's The Three-Body Problem 2."

"I don't understand it either. It's just a book. Is it necessary to queue up like this? Sissi~ It's so cold~ Um, let me make it clear first, I'm not queuing. I'm just cold because the air conditioner is broken. Anyway, I can't understand it. Each generation has its own way of dealing with eggs. Siha~ (stomps his feet). How long is the distance ahead?"

"Don't pretend in the front, I saw it!"

Around nine o'clock, the offline queue finally dispersed. This was not because everyone had bought the book, but because all the books offline were sold out, and many people could not buy any and had to disperse.

Some fans complained:
“How come I can’t get it online or offline?”

"Cheng Cheng let me know how many people there are in Tianxia! One million books were sold out in half a minute at twelve o'clock in the morning, and two million books were sold out in an hour. This is too exaggerated. There must be at least five million people queuing up across the country this morning? Don't these people have to go to work?"

"I also want to know, am I the only one working?"

"As a funny thing, the release of The Three-Body Problem 2 accidentally exposed our country's unemployment rate."

"It's so funny, it's so funny!!!"

“Good angle!”

-

"Cool!"

Zhu Hua went home eating a steamed bun and holding a copy of "The Three-Body Problem 2" in his arms.

The most satisfying thing in life is to have something that others do not.

Zhu Hua is a freelancer who usually sleeps until midnight. Today, he woke up at 2: and rushed to the nearest Xinhua Bookstore to queue up, just to buy "The Three-Body Problem : The Dark Forest".

The only thing that can wake up a lazy dog ​​is "The Three-Body Problem".

Zhu Hua is a huge fan of The Three-Body Problem. He bought The Three-Body Problem 1: Past Events on Earth when it was first released. After reading it, he was stunned! It almost reshaped his perception of science fiction.

After the TV series "The Three-Body Problem" was launched, he also watched it and became a fan of the show.

He believes that the greatest success of the TV series "The Three-Body Problem" is its ability to faithfully restore the original work.

Now, "The Three-Body Problem 2" is finally on sale, and he has bought it. He can't wait to read it!

Finally, back home, Zhu Hua finished the remaining dumplings in two or three bites, returned to his room, found a comfortable way, opened the Three Body, and opened the catalog:

Zhu Hua has a habit when reading a book, which is to look at the table of contents first.

Because you can clearly see the context and timeline of a book from the table of contents, and what kind of magnificent plot is hidden in the countdown-like table of contents of The Three-Body Problem 2? Will it be more magnificent than the first part?

Even greater than the first one?
