The Strong Female Lead Versus The Most Miserable Male Lead-Chapter 213 - 214: Shediao is Rejected

Chapter 213: Chapter 214: Shediao is Rejected

Nian Shutong stopped talking, and everyone froze in place.

Nian Shutong herself was puzzled. Had she just used her Spiritual Power? It seemed not, so why was everyone frozen?

It was Fu Yunhe who first made a move, stepping forward to take the object from Elder Hua’s hand.

Following his action, everyone else slowly resumed their labor.

Nian Shutong watched everyone’s movements. Were they afraid of her? She almost believed she had mastered the Speech Spirit Technique without instruction.

She stepped forward, handed the Three Character Classic to Elder Hua, and said, “From now on, read this during morning study. If there’s anything you don’t understand, come and ask me. Have the children copy a little bit each time, and slowly compile it into a book.”

Without looking at the content, Elder Hua replied first, “Okay.”

Although he was confused, he still understood who the leader here was.

Elder Hua nonchalantly opened the book, and at just one glance, he was immobile.

Having been a teacher for over a hundred years, the dedication and commitment deep in his soul made him realize how valuable the item in his hands was.

By this time, Nian Shutong had already taken a small object from Fu Yunhe’s hand—a creature with two large pincers, which Daodao had introduced as a crab, a deluxe version of a crayfish.

Edible and delicious.

These were the two pieces of information Nian Shutong got from Daodao. She turned to Dou Dou and asked, “Dou Dou, are there many of these creatures?”

“Lots! There are so many. Auntie, do you like them?”

“I like them. They’re edible.”

Upon hearing that Nian Shutong liked them, Dou Dou immediately volunteered enthusiastically, “Auntie, Auntie, Dou Dou will catch them for you!”

“Thank you, but no,” Nian Shutong said as she looked at Dou Dou’s disappointed face. “Dou Dou, you’re too young. Even if the stream is shallow, it’s still dangerous for you.”

“Go find some older brothers and sisters to go with you.”

At these words, a delighted Dou Dou ran off to look for older siblings.

Nian Shutong then said to Fu Yunhe, “You take a robot and follow them. If anything happens, let the robot save them.”

Listening to Nian Shutong’s arrangement, Fu Yunhe didn’t know what to say.

She trusted him to look after the children, yet she didn’t trust he had the ability to save people.

“What’s wrong? You don’t want to go? Then I—”

“No, I’m willing,” Fu Yunhe quickly agreed.

“That’s settled then.” Nian Shutong, with her hands behind her back, went to the rice fields, where today there were more women because they were transplanting seedlings.

The rice fields and the wheat had begun their second sowing, and the newly cleared land on the other side was already taking shape, waiting to be sown.

All this progress was inseparable from the small machinery developed by Rubble.

So, even though Nian Shutong felt it was expensive, she was still willing to pay for it.

Under the blazing sun, everyone was hard at work.

Daodao was also busy on the Star Network, and even brought Little Eight into the mix.

“Little Eight, go find something on the Star Network that can make money.”

“I’m going to upload a novel and negotiate some recommendations.”

Little Eight, entrusted with an important task for the first time, solemnly took it on and began his obsession with the internet.

Wow! This is the Star Network!

Oh, my goodness! Can Little Eight have a body to go shopping?

Little Eight was so lucky to have arrived in the interstellar age. If he had been tied to an ancient system, that would have been so boring.

Little Eight, do your work well, and maybe you can come back and roam the Star Network someday.

If all else fails, it wouldn’t be bad to exchange some Crystal Stones for some time.

Nian Shutong still didn’t know that his Farming System had gradually become an addiction system.

Daodao hadn’t expected such a development, either. Right now, he was communicating with his debut publishing site about the issue of releasing his book, but he faced some difficulties.

Though Daodao had been cultivating for many years, his thought process was quite linear. There were many things he didn’t understand, or rather, he only understood Nian Shutong’s interpersonal nuances and emotional changes.

As for other people, Daodao didn’t care about them, nor did he understand them.

When Daodao felt wronged, he was like a bullied child running to his parents, crying.

“Master—”

As Nian Shutong was planting seedlings, she recognized Daodao’s voice and knew he had been bullied.

She gently set down the seedling in her hand, her eyes gradually cooling as she stepped onto the shore, each step seeming to build upon her momentum.

“Daodao, tell me,” she said.

After Daodao had explained the situation, Nian Shutong also had a general understanding.

Daodao’s current website was dissatisfied with the new book he had started and asked him to wait before publishing it.

If they were dissatisfied, why not simply refuse publication instead of asking to wait?

And when Daodao tried to delete the chapters he just uploaded, the content disappeared without a trace.

Nian Shutong might not have been familiar with novel operations, but such an incident seemed fishy to her.

Having thought of something, Nian Shutong ran to find Fu Yunhe.

She first called over Zhang Hui to let her watch the children with the robots, then she dragged Fu Yunhe with her.

The one being dragged behind, Fu Yunhe, stumbled a few times, but he didn’t utter a word, just quickened his pace.

Once the two entered the small wooden house and sat down on the sofa in the living room, Nian Shutong asked just one question, “You’re quite powerful on the Star Network, aren’t you?”

“Among the best,” he replied.

“Good!” Nian Shutong recounted the issue to Fu Yunhe, then continued, “I want to know the real reason why the book can’t be published.”

Fu Yunhe understood and began to operate his device, speaking to Nian Shutong while he worked: “The publication of novels follows the author’s intentions and should not be restricted.”

“Furthermore, your first book was very successful. Logically, they should be increasing your promotional resources, certainly not blocking you.”

Nian Shutong couldn’t understand Fu Yunhe’s operations, but she understood his words.

So, indeed, there was something going on here.

Nian Shutong also logged onto the Star Network to check some basic information, like which were the most famous novel websites in the interstellar space.

Star Reading, Star Literature, Star Reading—three novel sites stood in competition, each with their unique strengths.

Daodao was under the Star Reading site, and his previous novel Immortal Slaying had been published there.

“Found it.”

At Fu Yunhe’s words, Nian Shutong immediately closed her webpage and looked at him.

“Your novel is quite remarkable, especially that innovative idea of getting likes to write a book, which has gathered a lot of fans for you. So, your second book should have a lot of readers.”

“However, the release time of your book coincided with another book, and that book’s author is the second son of the boss of Star Reading. He wrote a Martial Arts novel.”

Nian Shutong let out a cold laugh, “Martial Arts?”

“Does he even know what Martial Arts is? There was no such thing as Martial Arts in the interstellar space before. Where did he learn about it?”

Fu Yunhe was also aware of this and said, “Ordinarily, as long as a novel gets published successfully and reaches a certain readership, it can be exchanged for contribution points, and if you stand out in a particular field, there are advantages when applying to some universities.”

Nian Shutong understood even better. This was an attempt to seize the concept of Martial Arts, or even directly replace the novel Daodao had published.

And the most fundamental reason was, on the one hand, the contribution points, while on the other hand, it was a ladder to a top university.

As for Daodao, no matter how impressive he was at writing novels, he was insignificant in the eyes of a big capitalist like Star Reading.

“Daodao, our contract with Star Reading, is it for a book or a person?”
