Chapter 59

"MeninBlack" China has indeed become a website with a large personal traffic due to the alien craze in recent years. However, just the click-through rate of forum posts, accumulated up to half a month later, has already exceeded 600,000 times. The number of replies, likes, and discussions within the posts has reached over 400 pages—keep in mind that this forum flips a page every thirty posts!

The forum user with the ID "Liu Cixing" replied: "Hahaha, if the space civilization is as amusing as you described, I think the Dark Forest scenario shouldn't happen. Also, very interesting, how did you come up with these details? It's so fascinating."

The moderator with the ID "Yinglong Huang" replied: "Great! No more small talk, I've already made it a featured post and recommended it across the entire site! I've deleted the pure water posts at the beginning, and I hope the friends who follow will pay attention and not just post water. This post is worth a good discussion."

The forum user with the ID "Illusiome" replied: "When will you update it on the book site? I'll support you. Your update speed is very touching, unlike the guy I used to follow called Ye Yongxing, who writes poorly and updates so slowly that even a turtle would feel confident."

The forum user with the ID "Xiao San Shisan" replied: "After reading the description of the 'Supreme Golden Wine Ice Burst Liquid' from the 'Great Triangle Galaxy,' I want to take a sip. Keep going! I want more, more! Hahaku~~ (Followed by a few screenshots of climax scenes from H animations.)"

The forum user with the ID "Unicorn2" replied: "There are only two truths, the OP must be an alien!!" (Followed by a bunch of people chiming in to agree. Then they asked, "Where's the other truth? You scoundrel!")

The forum user with the ID "Yiri Laojie" replied: "Toxic! Milky Way flavor! Master, I've learned!"

The forum user with the ID "Nai Jin Ren Gan" replied: "Why is the first romantic encounter with a little rabbit girl from Jumping Rabbit Star? Why? Is she the main character? She's just a fluffy little rabbit! Although, thinking about it seriously, it's kind of exciting..."

The forum user with the ID "Realsaber" replied: "I only found out about this serial from Zhiqiu's recommendation elsewhere. In short, it's very interesting, extremely interesting..."

Such replies were countless. It was clear that after the moderator's strong recommendation, the serial post had received an excellent response.

"Don't Panic, This is Douglas's Guide to the Galaxy." This travelogue, published repeatedly by the Interstellar Intelligence Entertainment Company, spans hundreds of volumes. Although written in a humorous style, it contains a wealth of bizarre and extremely interesting stories about various alien cultures, customs, species, environments, adventures, cuisines, and romantic encounters (hey, with different forms of alien girls!). It is one of the classic bestsellers known for its "frilly and easy to read" observational style.

The previous owner of "Divine Warrior Armor" was clearly a hardcore fan of this series, storing the complete set from Volume 1 to Volume 666 in the database. (Each volume, when converted, is roughly equivalent to a standard 16K printed thousand-page dictionary on Earth, complete with numerous dynamic image illustrations.)

Four years ago, after Xiao Xian learned some universal alien languages, she also became a fan of this series. Unfortunately, after she was taken away, she could no longer follow the subsequent stories.

So, this was a wonderful letter. In a sense, it was also a gift.

A gift that the girl would surely love.

Li Pu deleted some overly detailed and specific descriptions, uploaded it, and allowed other Earthlings, besides himself and Xiao Xian, to first encounter this alien travelogue.

The feedback was—this serial post and the ID "Time Traveler" had become a sensation. Li Pu's account mailbox was flooded with short messages, ranging from requests for updates, suggestions, and even offers of friendship. Among them were contacts from several publishers, including the station master of "MeninBlack" China.

Li Pu quickly skimmed through them. Unfortunately, just like a few days ago, there were no replies or messages that could be identified as Xiao Xian's ID.

Was it too soon? Li Pu wasn't too disappointed. He then opened the email from the station master of "MeninBlack" China:

"Hello, Mr. Time Traveler! I am the station master of this site. Your 'Don't Panic, This is Douglas's Guide to the Galaxy' is fantastic. If possible, I would like to translate it into English and post it on the main 'MeninBlack' site in the United States. I believe your work will amaze foreign enthusiasts as well! Even winning a Nebula Award abroad is not out of the question!"

In the alien culture station "MeninBlack," many leading discussions and news often come from abroad. In terms of creating topics, the Chinese branch can't even compare to the main U.S. site, let alone the Japanese branch.

This "Don't Panic, This is Douglas's Guide to the Galaxy," although a travelogue-style novel with a humorous and amusing style, has an incredibly rich and detailed description. The bold and unrestrained imagination is so strong that even all the Earth authors combined might not match it. In the eyes of the Chinese station master, it has the potential to shock foreign enthusiasts.

Li Pu naturally wouldn't refuse the station master's suggestion—spreading it wider would increase the chances of Chen Xian "indirectly" seeing it.

"Sure, feel free to spread it." He replied. Then he updated another chapter, browsed for a while, and closed his computer.

Three days later, on a sunny morning.

Qin Xia'er wasn't the first time visiting Li Pu's home. Seeing the young man, she just smiled and greeted him without mentioning the song.

In her view, Li Pu was just as skilled as her cousin Zhang Shi, but as for artistic talent? She had never discovered any from kindergarten to now! He was a student who didn't even want to participate in the school choir during school celebrations...

But when Li Pu opened the door and saw her, he nodded, "You're here. Perfect, it's done." He then turned around and took out a cheap notebook from his room, probably bought from a convenience store.

"Take a look, does this work?" Li Pu handed the notebook to Qin Xia'er.

"Did you really write it? It's not some silly nursery rhyme, right?" Qin Xia'er walked into Li Pu's home, took the notebook, and flipped it open. To her surprise, it was filled with dense musical notes and lyrics!

"Bang Pa Bang Dong ☆ Planet Burst is the Heartbeat of Love? What a strange name." Class President Xia'er pursed her pink lips and continued reading.

Qin Xia'er loved singing, and her instrumental skills were almost at a semi-professional level. Upon closer inspection, she was even more astonished to find that the music was composed of multiple melodies intertwined, similar to a canon but far more complex.

After a while, Qin Xia'er's eyelashes fluttered, and she suddenly looked up and asked, "Did you really write this?"

"That's none of your business." Li Pu didn't answer directly, spreading his hands. "What do you think?"

"It's hard to say..." The girl thought for a moment. "I need to show this notebook to a professional I know." She blinked at the young man. "Can I?"

Li Pu naturally agreed. However, Class President Xia'er didn't leave immediately. She looked around and sighed, "You're really lazy. You knew a girl was coming today, and you didn't even clean up!"

Like most young men living alone, Li Pu's home was far from tidy. Clothes were piled on the sofa, leftover food and drinks were left on the living room table, and bottles of drinks were scattered around the computer—shoes were thrown around!

But Miss Xia'er already knew that Li Pu was an orphan living alone, so despite her sharp tongue, she very motherly rolled up her sleeves and spent over an hour dragging the reluctant Li Pu to do a thorough cleaning.

However, there were two rooms in the apartment that were very clean and tidy, different from the rest. Qin Xia'er asked curiously and learned that these were Chen Xian's and her mother's rooms.

"Are you still waiting for them to come back?" Qin Xia'er suddenly said softly.

"Yes, they are my family." The young man nodded calmly, without further explanation. Even if they didn't return here, he would find them when the time was right. No matter how far or how dangerous it was.

In the newly cleaned room, Qin Xia'er clapped her hands, a satisfied smile appearing on her delicate face, "Wow, it's much better now."

"Miss Qin... Do you have a cleaning compulsion?" Li Pu was speechless.

"Hmph, I'm just repaying a favor." Class President Xia'er's lips curled slightly, waving the notebook at the young man, "Bye, I'll show this to the vocal teacher in the cultural troupe. If the song is really outstanding, I'll use it as a secret weapon. See you on Monday when school starts~"

However, Qin Xia'er didn't wait until Monday. The next day, she called Li Pu's phone again.

This time, her tone was very excited.

"Li Pu! The songs you gave me are amazing! Every single one!" The girl's surprised and happy voice came through the phone, "Oh my God! Where did you find these songs? Even the professionals in the cultural troupe have never heard such melodies!"
