The group was kicked out, and low presence means they are bad?

"Ajian, I'm not saying this, but I feel like not many people can finish reading The Three-Body Problem, right?"

In a large rental house in Beijing, Feng Shiqi asked Bai Xingjian with a worried look on his face.

She has finished reading the first part of "The Three-Body Problem". From her personal point of view, even without any emotional tone, the book is very well written and is a rare science fiction masterpiece in China.

However, from the perspective of the general public, this book "The Three-Body Problem" is probably unbearable for many people.

There is a great possibility that they will not read any further after reading one or two pages.

Because at the beginning of "The Three-Body Problem", when the plot has not yet unfolded, it is really a bit boring.

"It's not a big problem."

Bai Xingjian didn't really care about this. He smiled and said, "Although many people won't be able to finish watching it at first, there will always be people who will continue to watch it. There are actually quite a few science fiction fans in our country. As long as there are people in this circle who can continue to watch it, my plan will be half successful."

The reason why Bai Xingjian directly put the full text of the first part of "The Three-Body Problem" on the online reading platform and allowed the public to read it for free was just to increase the popularity of the book "The Three-Body Problem".

After all, Bai Xingjian is still a layman when it comes to novels. If he publishes "The Three-Body Problem" without any tricks, it is estimated that it will not make any waves in the country in a short period of time.

Although at the current point in time, Bai Xingjian is not in a hurry to make waves in this regard, but good wine needs no bush.

And before doing something, Bai Xingjian always has to show his strength to some people, right?

Otherwise it will be hard to get support from others.

"Plan? What plan?" Feng Shiqi bit her lip and stared at Bai Xingjian with curiosity.

She felt like laughing at this moment, because she had finished reading the first part of "The Three-Body Problem", but she still didn't know why Bai Xingjian wrote this book, and what he was planning after the book was published.

"It's nothing, actually. I just want to promote the culture of our country."

Bai Xingjian's idea was actually very simple, and he expressed his considerations: "And this is also Qiu Zongyu's request. In the future, The Three-Body Problem will also be an important cornerstone of my plan to build an IP park."

After hearing this, Feng Shiqi directly sat on Bai Xingjian from the sofa, holding his face with both hands, looking at him with a pair of bright eyes:
"Aren't you tired of doing this? During this period, you've been working on All or Nothing, Crazy, Dying to Survive, and The Three-Body Problem. Isn't your brain tired?"

Bai Xingjian moved to make Feng Shiqi sit more comfortably, and said, "While I am still young and have inspiration, I must seize the time to do more. After all, opportunities are hard to come by and they will never come back."

As if she sensed something, Feng Shiqi's face flushed slightly, "How do you have so many inspirations? And don't you feel tired with so many things in your head?"

Bai Xingjian smiled and looked at her, saying, "Because you are my muse, I have so many inspirations, and you are right next to me, how can I be tired? I am full of energy every day, okay?"

"You have such a sweet mouth." Feng Shiqi smiled sweetly.

Bai Xingjian laughed and said, "How about giving it a try?"

Feng Shiqi: "Just give it a try, who's afraid of who?"

……

"What the hell is this Bai Xingjian writing? It's completely nonsense. I don't even want to read it."

Inside a male dormitory at Shenzhen University, someone cursed with a rather disdainful tone.

This person is called Yu Zijia, and he is one of Bai Xingjian’s few black fans.

"I might as well go watch the movie instead of reading Bai Xingjian's writing. What a bunch of crap."

Yu Zijia cursed: "I guess if my dog ​​rolled around on the keyboard, what he wrote would be better than Bai Xingjian's."

In the dormitory, a fan of Bai Xingjian sneered and said, "With your brain that is tired of watching short videos and movies, what else can you read? I guess you can't understand the online article that ranks first on the Yuandian Chinese monthly ticket list. And you are still questioning Bai Xingjian's level. Are you worthy? Show me some!"

This man's name is Chen Cheng. Although he and Yu Zijia were in the same dormitory, they had long been at odds with each other.

It’s just strange that although the two of them dislike each other, they usually have constant friction when talking to each other, as if they have eaten gunpowder.

But they never fought and lived in peace. It has been almost two years now, and it is still the same.

The other two roommates had advised them before, but it didn't work. In the end, they just stopped caring and regarded the "friendly exchange" between the two as a scenic spot in the dormitory.

Sometimes, people from other dormitories would come here specifically to enjoy the verbal battle between Yu Zijia and Chen Cheng.

"Fuck it, I'm just a reader, so I'm not qualified to comment on Bai Xingjian? If you go to Weibo and the book review section of The Three-Body Problem, you'll find that there are definitely a lot of people who share the same idea as me. What Bai Xingjian wrote is all crap!"

Yu Zijia responded without being at all inferior.

Chen Cheng was not to be outdone: "I've already said that The Three-Body Problem is real literature, and it is fundamentally different from the popular online literature. If you want to look at The Three-Body Problem with the eyes of online literature, then I can't help it."

One of my roommates, Zhou Qi, also spoke up. "I support Chen Cheng this time. Although I couldn't finish reading The Three-Body Problem, I have to say that it's not an online novel. It's a traditional physical novel. It's normal for a physical novel to make people lose the desire to read it. If a physical novel can make people continue to read it, it only means that this book is not in the style of a traditional physical novel."

Another roommate, Xu Xing, also spoke up at this time: "In fact, before short videos came out, there were still many physical novels that people could read. It's just that many people are tired of watching short videos now. If the novel doesn't have an attractive point at the beginning, many people will choose the next one. This is the case with online novels, not to mention traditional physical novels."

"What are you talking about?"

Yu Zijia strongly disagreed with Zhou Qi and Xu Xing's ideas. "Since The Three-Body Problem is not an online novel, why did Bai Xingjian choose to publish this book on the Yuandian Chinese platform? Can't he find anything else to do?"

"Are you really stupid or are you just pretending to be stupid?"

Chen Cheng rolled his eyes at him. "This is obviously Bai Xingjian's way of raising the profile of The Three-Body Problem. Otherwise, for a traditional physical novel, couldn't he just wait until the publisher publishes it before releasing the news to the public? And now it's free to read on the online reading platform. Who would do this if they really wanted to make money from publishing?"

After hearing this, Yu Zijia couldn't find any point to refute, so he said, "Just wait and see. There will definitely be a lot of criticism of the book "The Three-Body Problem", and Bai Xingjian will definitely be criticized non-stop this time."

"Just go ahead and criticize me. You're talking as if Bai Xingjian has never been criticized before."

Chen Cheng crossed his arms across his chest, looking nonchalant.

The actual situation of "The Three-Body Problem" is actually no different from what Yu Zijia said. Shortly after the book was launched on Yuandian Chinese, a large number of netizens who followed the trend began to criticize it.

[Maybe I am not a fan of science fiction novels. I really can’t read this book “The Three-Body Problem” at all. ] [Bai Xingjian is really an amateur in writing novels. He wrote so many words in one paragraph. The reading experience on the mobile phone is too poor! ]

[I can only say that I have to wait until the physical version of "The Three-Body Problem" comes out before I can read it. Reading it online is really a bit of a torture. ]

[Indeed, reading these long paragraphs of text gave me some PTSD.]

[Bai Xingjian really doesn't know what he's doing. This time, The Three-Body Problem doesn't seem fun at all. It's written so rubbishly.]

[He didn’t write a happy story, so what’s so happy about it? ]

[If it's not a good story, why did he post it on Yuandian Chinese website? Isn't it because he can't find anything to do? 】

On Weibo, the hot search terms about "The Three-Body Problem" were basically all criticizing Bai Xingjian at the beginning.

It can also be clearly seen that those who are now pointing at Bai Xingjian's nose and scolding him are almost all people who can't stand reading "The Three-Body Problem".

As time went by, these insults began to be drowned out by other voices.

[I don’t know if you have finished reading “The Three-Body Problem”. The story of Earth’s past in this volume is really well written! I haven’t read such a good science fiction novel in a long time! ]

[I declare! "The Three-Body Problem" is the best science fiction novel I have read in recent years! No doubt about it! ]

[Me too! And Bai Xingjian is really brave to write! This volume of Earth's past is actually set in that special era. I really like Ye Wenjie's writing! ]

[Earth, Red Coast Base, Trisolarans, Advent Sect, Sophon, Guzheng Project. Just seeing these words gave me a brain orgasm. Now I just want Bai Xingjian to write the second part of "The Three-Body Problem" as soon as possible! I'm still not satisfied after reading it!]

[The Trisolarans are awesome! I wish I could be one too. ]

[Do you want to be a traitor to the Earth? ]

[Earth? What does that mean? A ball falling on the ground?]

[You just haven’t watched “The Three-Body Problem” seriously. The Earth in “The Three-Body Problem” obviously refers to the Blue Planet! ]

[Oh my god, is "The Three-Body Problem" really that good? Tell the truth, Chinese people don't lie to Chinese people.]

[Why would we lie to you? Besides, The Three-Body Problem is now available for free on Yuandian Chinese. What benefit can we gain from lying to you? I haven't seen Bai Xingjian assigning us these tasks? ]

[Let me tell you this, although the first release of the book "The Three-Body Problem" was on Yuandian Chinese, a platform that promotes online novels in all aspects, you cannot look at the novel "The Three-Body Problem" with the eyes of an online novel. As long as you can read it carefully, it will give you a shock that many online novels cannot give you, but the premise is that you can really read it. ]

[That’s it! The book “The Three-Body Problem” is a treasure, waiting for someone with patience to dig it out.]

[In fact, even if you can still watch it, I still don’t recommend you to watch “The Three-Body Problem”, because this part obviously has more content than this, and there will probably be a second or even a third part. If you finish the first part so quickly, you will definitely be very tormented while waiting for the second and third parts. Believe me, this is all my experience as a veteran! ]

[Is "The Three-Body Problem" really that good? I have no choice but to go and watch it.]

With these positive reviews and strong recommendations, more and more people who couldn't finish reading "The Three-Body Problem" at first glance began to go back and read the book again.

Although many people gave up during the re-watching process, they were patient and continued watching when they thought of the good reviews and recommendations.

Then I really looked into it.

……

"Fuck! Bai Xingjian's book is really awesome!"

At 11 o'clock in the evening, in a male dormitory of Shenzhen University, Chen Cheng suddenly sat up in bed and shouted loudly.

"Fuck! What the hell is wrong with you? Do you want to scare your father to death?"

Yu Zijia, who was lying on the bed opposite Chen Cheng, said unhappily, "You like the kind of thing Bai Xingjian likes, and even if his book The Three-Body Problem is written like a pile of shit, you'd still think it smells good if it was placed in front of you."

"I don't want to bother with you."

Chen Cheng ignored Yu Zijia and turned to Xu Xing and Zhou Qi on the upper bunk and said, "I think you can really read the book "The Three-Body Problem". You may find it mediocre at first, but as long as you read it for a while, you will definitely be attracted by the story. This book feels like a rare science fiction masterpiece!"

"I'm reading it now. I'm already reading it. This Three-Body Problem is indeed well-written."

Xu Xing spoke from the upper bunk of Chen Cheng.

"Fuck, is this true? Xu Xing, you think 'The Three-Body Problem' is well written?" Zhou Qi, who was lying on the bed opposite Xu Xing, asked in disbelief.

Yu Zijia, who was sleeping on the lower bunk, was in almost the same condition as Zhou Qi.

"Why would I lie to you? Although the beginning of this book is indeed a bit boring, as long as you read on you will find that this book is really interesting. If you don't believe me, just try to read it yourself. This book will make you unforgettable."

Xu Xing held the phone in one hand with his hand resting on the edge of the bed, and the content displayed on the phone screen was exactly the content of "The Three-Body Problem".

He continued, "I'm halfway through now, and I can't stop reading. It's just that the first part is only 190,000 words, which is a bit short. I estimate that I can finish the book tonight."

"Is it really that good? Then I want to go and have a look, which platform is it on?"

Hearing Xu Xing's comments on "The Three-Body Problem", Zhou Qi was immediately intrigued.

"Original Chinese." Chen Cheng interrupted with a smile, "Go ahead and read it. You will definitely be speechless after reading it. I haven't seen such a good science fiction novel in a long time."

"What you said really makes me look forward to it."

Zhou Qi responded: "Damn, this campus network is really slow. It takes a long time to download the software."

After hearing their conversation, Yu Zijia didn't know what to say.

"How about I go and take a look too?" (End of this chapter)
