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

The time soon came to eight fifty in the evening.

At this moment, the alarms on many people's cell phones rang.

It's not for anything else, just to be able to buy the physical book of Bai Xingjian's "The Three-Body Problem" on the online shopping platform.

Inside a male dormitory at Shenzhen University.

"Yu Zijia, did you set an alarm on your phone? What's going on? Are you going to snatch Bai Xingjian's The Three-Body Problem too?"

At the desk in the dormitory, Chen Cheng turned around and looked at Yu Zijia who was turning off the alarm on his cell phone, and asked curiously:

"Are you going to join our "Three-Body" army?"

Hearing this, Yu Zijia sneered, and then said with a rather disdainful tone:
“I just want to grab the physical copy of The Three-Body Problem. Who said I want to join your army of readers? If I, a person who doesn’t read The Three-Body Problem, grab the book later and you readers don’t get it, won’t you be pissed to death by me?”

When he finished saying this, Yu Zijia even started laughing.

However, the other three roommates, Chen Cheng, Zhou Qihe and Xu Xing, stiffened their fists.

Chen Cheng stared at Yu Zijia with a slightly cold tone and said, "Then you'd better pray that we can all get the physical copy of The Three-Body Problem. Otherwise, when you get the copy back to your dormitory, it will be considered as your tribute to us."

"That's right, I don't believe that the three of us can't beat you alone." Xu Xing said with interest, crossing his arms across his chest.

Yu Zijia's figure is average in their dormitory, neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin. As long as the other three people unite, Yu Zijia will have no chance of resistance.

"If I can't get it online, I can't get it offline either?" Zhou Qi said with a smile.

In Yu Zijia's eyes, he looked a little scary.

"No, are you two colluding with Chen Cheng now?"

Yu Zijia looked at Zhou Qi and then at Xu Xing, somewhat incredulous.

Zhou Qi's smile remained on his face. "How can this be called collusion? This is called great minds think alike. The Three-Body Problem is such a good book. It's your loss if you can't read it, Zijia."

“That’s right!” Xu Xing also took the lead in promoting “The Three-Body Problem”.

"Okay, you are invincible."

Yu Zijia didn't know what to say at the moment, he just quietly opened the shopping app, ready to rush to buy the physical copy of "The Three-Body Problem".

The same is true for Chen Cheng, Zhou Qi and Xu Xing.

The time soon came to 8:59, and the rush to buy the physical book of "The Three-Body Problem" was about to begin.

"five!"

"Four!"

"three!"

"two!"

Inside the dormitory, a voice was heard announcing the countdown.

Chen Cheng and others' hands were shaking as they placed them on their phone screens. This was the effect of adrenaline.

"one!"

"Okay, start grabbing!"

Chen Cheng roared fiercely.

At this moment, the four people in the dormitory began to frantically click on their mobile phone screens.

"Fuck! This item is sold out?" Xu Xing yelled.

"I couldn't even get your mother's kiss." This is Yu Zijia.

"What a rubbish campus network! I'm *#*&%!" This is Zhou Qi.

"I sent it, but I didn't get it."

Chen Cheng spread his hands and threw the phone directly onto the desk.

He was finding it difficult to accept the fact at this moment.

Not a single one of the four people in their dormitory managed to grab the physical copy of The Three-Body Problem, and they were all wiped out!

"I'm afraid these physical copies of The Three-Body Problem were snatched up in less than a second."

Xu Xing leaned back on his chair, sounding rather disappointed.

Zhou Qi also began to sigh: "I had hoped to read the physical version of The Three-Body Problem to relieve my fatigue, but from the current situation, I still have to suffer with the electronic version of The Three-Body Problem!"

"It's OK. I've already finished reading it. I bought the physical copy of The Three-Body Problem just for collection."

Chen Cheng didn't feel disappointed at all. "Now I just want to know when the second volume of The Three-Body Problem will be released. I really want to read the sequel!"

"Ah? There is a second part to the book "The Three-Body Problem"? " Yu Zijia looked at Chen Cheng in surprise, as if he had discovered some new continent.

It's rare that he doesn't speak in a choking manner.

"There should be. The Three-Body Problem published by Bai Xingjian doesn't actually contain too much content. The story hasn't been fully unfolded yet. The subsequent plots are likely to be more exciting than the first part."

Chen Cheng also explained to him slowly and methodically.

"What the hell? Can the sequel be more exciting than the first one? Now that The Three-Body Problem has been praised so highly by the public, if the sequels can be even better, Bai Xingjian's The Three-Body Problem will probably win a Nobel Prize?"

Yu Zijia's eyes widened at these words.

"I'm not going to win the Nobel Prize in Literature yet, but I think I can win some awards in the science fiction field. Especially in our country, the Three-Body series of books should be able to sweep all the awards."

Chen Cheng smiled, as if he was also honored that "The Three-Body Problem" won the award.

"What are you laughing at? It's all in vain if you can't get the physical book." After recovering from his shock, Yu Zijia teased Chen Cheng again.

"What's the big deal? I don't believe that the publisher won't restock The Three-Body Problem when it's selling so well?"

Chen Cheng was in a good mood and did not have too many arguments with Yu Zijia.

He opened Weibo and read netizens' reactions to the huge sales of the physical book of "The Three-Body Problem".

[Did you get it? Did you get the physical copy of The Three-Body Problem? I didn’t get it anyway.]

[Damn it, I created the order in 02 seconds, but the payment failed. Who can get it? Is it a robot?]

[I feel like everyone who has grabbed The Three-Body Problem tonight can go buy a lottery ticket. You are all chosen by God! ]

[Hahahaha, anyway, I got it. Order created in 01 second, payment in 01 second. Who can be faster than me? ]

[There are many who are faster than you. There are a lot of people reselling the physical book of "The Three-Body Problem" on Xiaohuangyu software now. You can tell at a glance that they all use high-tech.]

[That’s right, those resellers all specify that payment will start within 0 seconds, who can beat them? ]

[Even The Three-Body Problem can be resold? Do the platforms not regulate these resellers now? ]

[Will Bai Xingjian team up with this platform to resell products to profit from his fans? ]

[Ah? What's so good about this? Bai Xingjian's movie box office is almost 4 billion, and he still cares about these little things? ]

[So what if the box office is 4 billion, there are still so many celebrities promoting the products! ]

[So did Bai Xingjian bring the goods? ]

[Yes, he did. Isn’t The Three-Body Problem written by him his own product? ] [6666! ]

Looking at these remarks, Chen Cheng in front of the mobile phone screen was amused.

However, the only thing he could be sure of now was that there were probably not that many physical copies of "The Three-Body Problem" this time.

Otherwise, so many netizens wouldn’t have failed to get it.

……

Magic City.

Yuandian Chinese Office Building.

Although it was already nine o'clock in the evening, the place was still brightly lit.

The office where the marketing department is located.

At this time, there were exclamations one after another, like a group of uncivilized monkeys howling, just like the Water Curtain Cave Paradise in Huaguo Mountain.

"Oh my god! Fifteen thousand physical copies of The Three-Body Problem were sold out in less than a second?"

"Oh my god! Is the book "The Three-Body Problem" so popular?"

"It's what it deserves! The book 'The Three-Body Problem' deserves such a fast sales speed!"

"Is this Bai Xingjian's strength? Changing careers is as easy as drinking water!"

"I can only say that his fans are really crazy."

“Oh my god, who is buying the physical copy of The Three-Body Problem? Isn’t it free to read on our platform? There are still so many people buying the physical copy of this book. These people must be really rich!”

"Sure enough, no matter how online novels develop, the market for physical novels remains enduring!"

"It's just survivor bias. Only The Three-Body Problem is so popular right now. What if we try other physical books? They're sold for one dollar a copy in some live streaming rooms, but they won't sell in a day."

“It seems so.”

The staff in the marketing department were talking about it.

Soon, the news that the physical book of "The Three-Body Problem" was sold out in one second reached some senior executives of Yuandian Chinese.

"Surprise, it's quite a surprise!"

In a certain office, Xie Junming, one of the board members of Yuandian Chinese, clapped his hands and said:
"I expected that it was normal for the physical copy of The Three-Body Problem to sell well. After all, the book is really well written, and there are so many people discussing it online. But I never thought that The Three-Body Problem would sell so well. It was sold out in less than a second. I'm afraid this hasn't happened in our domestic circle for many years, right?"

"That's true. We can only say that we underestimated Bai Xingjian and the book The Three-Body Problem at the beginning."

Huang Lihua, the editor-in-chief of Yuandian Chinese, also said with great emotion at this moment: "Before, I thought Bai Xingjian wrote "The Three-Body Problem" just for fun, but I didn't expect that he actually wrote something famous. He is really talented!"

Seeing the two of them praising Bai Xingjian so much, Jiao Yongqiang, deputy editor-in-chief of Yuandian Chinese, was also quite happy.

You two weren't like this before.

However, Jiao Yongqiang did not have too many thoughts in this regard, but said: "So we should increase the printing scale of "The Three-Body Problem"? The first batch of 150,000 copies sold out in seconds. This market is probably a bit beyond our expectations, right?"

"Gagagaga!"

Xie Junming waved his hand and said proudly, "Let's just give all the production lines in our printing factory to The Three-Body Problem. We can put the other books aside for the time being. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If we miss this boom, it will be very difficult to replicate the sales success of tonight."

In addition to being one of the largest online reading platforms in China, Yuandian Chinese also has a number of production lines for printing and publishing paper books.

Bai Xingjian also noticed this point and chose to cooperate with Yuandian Chinese.

"Then shall I pass on this news now?" Jiao Yongqiang asked tentatively.

"Go prepare the documents now and bring them over for stamping later." Xie Junming nodded, feeling quite happy.

After getting the confirmation, Jiao Yongqiang turned around and prepared the relevant documents.

After he left, Huang Lihua asked Xie Junming, "Brother Junming, is it really a good idea to just give all the production lines to The Three-Body Problem? I'm afraid that doing so will make some partners unhappy, right?"

"Why would they be dissatisfied? Their orders are not urgent. As long as the tasks are completed within the specified time, they will have nothing to say even if we do this."

Xie Junming smiled and waved his hands, then asked excitedly, "How many copies of The Three-Body Problem can you sell this time?"

"Uh"

Huang Lihua pondered for a moment, "According to the current momentum, two million copies should not be a problem, right? Three million may be possible?"

Hearing this, Xie Junming smiled and nodded, "I think it's about these numbers, but maybe there will be some surprises. You can't look at Bai Xingjian the same way you look at ordinary people!"

Huang Lihua was a little confused when he heard this.

The Three-Body Problem is already so popular, is there any more surprises?

If this is still possible, then Bai Xingjian, then this "Three-Body Problem" would be extremely amazing?

……

Just when everyone was still discussing topics related to "The Three-Body Problem".

October 1st is National Day.

Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi have arrived at the Beijing HR District and started to implement the first step in building the IP amusement park.

HR area, close to the outskirts of the city.

There is a large piece of land. In addition to the construction team and related equipment, there are a few people standing scattered on the land.

When Bai Xingjian and Feng Shiqi just arrived here, Ye Xuan and Qiu Weirui had already been waiting here for a while.

"Oh, our great writer is here!"

After seeing Bai Xingjian, Ye Xuan greeted him in a very familiar manner.

"So this is the Phoenix in the Phoenix Flying? Sister Shiqi really looks much prettier than in the video."

After Ye Xuan greeted Bai Xingjian, she simply ignored him and shifted her target to Feng Shiqi.

Bai Xingjian and Qiu Weirui nodded to each other, which could be considered as a greeting.

This is not the first time they have met, and they have been chatting online a lot recently, so they can be said to be familiar work partners.

"That's Ye Xuan, the boss behind Guangyao Media and the daughter of the Ye Group."

Looking at Ye Xuan who was chatting happily with Feng Shiqi, Qiu Weirui introduced her to Bai Xingjian.

Bai Xingjian nodded, "You've said all this before, I still remember it."

Qiu Weirui nodded, and did not continue to introduce Ye Xuan. Instead, he asked, "What do you think about what my grandfather told you yesterday?"

"I had this idea before I wrote The Three-Body Problem, but I'm afraid I won't be able to find a good quality translator with my network, so I need your help."

Bai Xingjian's eyes fell on Feng Shiqi and Ye Xuan, and he responded with a smile.

What they were talking about was naturally the publication of "The Three-Body Problem" abroad.

"no problem."

Qiu Weirui nodded readily and turned his gaze to Bai Xingjian: "So can you tell me how long it took you to write the book "The Three-Body Problem"? "

Bai Xingjian's eyes met hers in mid-air, and he said calmly, "It didn't take that long, only about a dozen years." (End of this chapter)
