Chapter 7: Gaining Two Admirers

However, this issue did not trouble Nian Xiaobai for long

Nian Xiaobai shook his head, clearing the clutter from his mind. He picked up a pencil, ready to write again, only to find that he could no longer recapture the feeling of inspiration he had just experienced

When a work is officially launched, Qidian Chinese Network will conduct a substantial promotion, allowing readers to understand the author not merely as a pseudonym but as the individual behind it. At this moment, the admiration from readers will empower the author to officially harness the strength of belief

What is there to think about? In three days, it will be the time for my parents to switch shifts and rest, and then I will be able to meet them.

The voice of Yang Yue, the class monitor of Class 2, Grade 13 at Mars Chinese Language School, echoed in the channel

In the future era, authors will be respected, and even a novice author at LV0, who has just begun, will be able to earn the respect of many people

Lying in bed, Nian Xiaobai asked himself

Interstellar mining is a task that is both complex and hazardous, requiring humans to operate mechs in the perilous expanse of space. It necessitates constant vigilance against various dangers present in the cosmos, such as cosmic radiation and meteorite impacts

The girl he spoke to was also known to him; she was his younger sister Qian Qinya's classmate and close friend, named Qin Yin. The two had studied guqin together under the same teacher for many years, thus they shared a strong bond. This time, they traveled to Water Blue Star together as companions.

Forget it, let's just eat and sleep

Could it be that my younger sister and Qin Yin have started to admire me? Year Xiaobai pondered, immersing his thoughts into the seed of the world located at his brow.

Hmph, my brother has just become an author, and now is the time for him to work hard. I absolutely cannot let you disturb him! Yet, Nian Qingya was not to be outdone; with a forceful push, she threw Qin Yin, who was on top of her, down and then attempted to mount Qin Yin herself.

Subsequently, the two girls began to watch the published text of "Shattered Void" from beginning to end with great seriousness. After finishing, both were captivated by the story and began to admire the author, Nian Xiaobai.

"Xiaoya, why did you hang up the call? I finally met a real author, can't you let me chat a bit more with you and your brother?" Qin Yin pushed Nian Qingya down onto the soft bed, straddling her waist, and said with exaggerated gestures.

Gazing at the two light blue filaments on the world seed, Nian Xiaobai couldn't help but think of his parents, who worked far away in the Tianyuan star system and whom he rarely saw throughout the year

While the young Bai was diligently creating, in a hotel located in the Huaxia region of Water Blue Star, two young girls were discussing topics related to him

The young girl, with a sweet appearance, was wearing a pair of shorts and a tank top. Due to this cool attire, large areas of her snow-white skin were exposed on her thighs, neck, and arms. At that moment, the girl excitedly asked, "Xiao Bai Ge, have you become a formal author?"

Indeed, I just passed the review this morning. I am now a Level 0 author and have just published a work titled "Shattered Void" under the pen name of the Great Emperor of Water. It currently has twelve thousand words.

What should be done

In the year, under the pen name of the Great Emperor of Water, Nian Xiaobai created "Shattered Void." Nian Qingya and Qin He, the first to know his true identity, are now captivated by "Shattered Void" and have developed a sense of admiration for Nian Xiaobai. The faith they have generated is immediately reflected in Nian Xiaobai himself

The two girls, exhausted from their playful scuffle, ultimately found that no one could gain the upper hand, and they had no choice but to reconcile

Shaking his head, Nian Xiaobai did not think much of it. He casually grabbed a piece of bread from the side and began to nibble on it, then once again immersed himself in the manuscript, continuing to diligently type away. After working hard from the afternoon until midnight, Nian Xiaobai had written nearly 10,000 words this year.

On Mars, the young Bai, who was diligently typing, suddenly felt a warmth at his forehead. A warm current flowed down from his forehead, spreading throughout his body in an instant, and it took a full ten minutes for it to finally cease.

"Before today, I truly did not realize that your rather ordinary-looking brother, who has no particular talents, could actually become a published author. Now I find myself admiring him." Qin Yin said, lying side by side with Nian Qingya, panting.

Although the salary for interstellar mining work is high, Yan Xiaobai still hopes that his parents can find a safer job, so that their family can reunite more often.

As expected, on the seed of the pure golden world, there are now two faint blue threads, which represent the power of faith and thought. With this power, the author is able to accomplish many things that would seem utterly impossible to ordinary people

"Well, you should also consider whose brother it is," Nian Qingya said proudly, casually opening the Qidian Chinese Network and typing the title of Nian Xiaobai's work, 'Shattered Void,' into the search bar

The sound of a notification rang out, and a pleasant female voice echoed in Nian Xiaobai's ear: "Dear citizen Nian Xiaobai, Jiang Wandong has sent you a group voice invitation"

However, Xiaobai still shows no signs of stopping, continuing to work hard on writing, aiming to reach a word count of 50,000 for "Shattered Void" in order to officially publish it

Qin Yin looked at Nian Xiaobai, her eyes filled with admiration and disbelief. She never expected that this seemingly ordinary young man had now become a published author.

After having dinner and taking a shower, Nian Xiaobai lay on the bed, eyes closed for quite a while, yet still unable to fall asleep. The recently increased faith power left Nian Xiaobai feeling no trace of fatigue from the *illustrated* book.

After pondering for a while, Nian Xiaobai still could not find the right inspiration, so he put down his pen and got up to go to the kitchen to cook

After this surge of energy dissipated, Nian Xiaobai unexpectedly discovered that both his mind and body, which had been somewhat fatigued due to prolonged creative work, had remarkably returned to their peak condition, and in fact, had been significantly enhanced.

Let’s see who in our class has not yet arrived, please invite them quickly. Tonight is the class activity, and Goddess Su Shu will come to give a lecture, teaching everyone how to write a flawless outline.

"Brother, focus on your creation; we won't disturb you any longer. Good night." Qin Yin still wanted to say something to Nian Xiaobai, but Nian Qingya had already impatiently closed the virtual reality communication, leaving Nian Xiaobai unable to finish saying good night.

Nian Xiaobai was momentarily taken aback, then opened the communication device in his hand, agreed to the group voice call, and soon heard a male voice begin to speak

"By becoming a Level 1 author, I will be able to harness the power of making dreams come true, and I will possess Level 3 combat strength. At that time, the avenues for earning money will also increase significantly. Once I am able to earn money, I will definitely ensure that my parents are freed from the exhausting work of interstellar mining."
