Evolution of life

Chapter 8: Uploading

After several hours of sorting through the files, Li Xing finally found the poems that he decided to upload to the interstellar website. Initially, he was worried that the unique characteristics of Chinese ancient poetry might not be easily understood by people from other planets. Therefore, he specifically chose a few simple ones, such as "Goose, goose, goose."

However, after listening to Ying Rong's explanation, he learned that with the translation chip, as long as the language data of Earth civilization was input into the main database, no matter how complex the poems were, people in the universe could easily understand them.

After knowing that, Li Xing then found some more ancient poems, all of which were considered to be the most beautiful and excellent poems by the Chinese people. After confirming them, he opened the interstellar computer and searched for a website related to ancient poetry in the universe...

After finding it, he clicked on it and operated it for a while. He discovered that in order to publish on the website, he needed to register as a user. Fortunately, Li Xing's identity information had already been entered into the Human Alliance. Registering would not be a problem, he just needed to come up with a net name.

What should he call himself? He thought for about I uploaded three poems, the first one was free, the second one was half free and half charged 0.5 starcoins, and the third one required a starcoin to view. Regarding the prices, Lee Sing and I had a disagreement...

Lee Sing thought that the charges were simply too high! No one would watch it at all, 0.5 starcoins, that's equivalent to 750 Earth Federation dollars! And one starcoin is 1500 Earth Federation dollars! In Lee Sing's opinion, the people in the poetry website would never click in to view these poems unless they were crazy.

But Influence thought that such beautiful poems should only charge so little! It was an insult to the ancient Chinese authors! So he strongly suggested that Lee Sing raise the prices to 10 starcoins for each poem... For this, he showed Lee Sing what kind of poems were written on those websites. For example... Autumn wind, you are so fierce... The sea, you are so vast... And so on... After looking at it for a while, he found that it was all like that!

This made Lee Sing curious. According to what he knew, there were at least twenty-seven planets in the Enya Star System, with a population of over several hundred billion. How could there be no one who wrote better poems? Influence gave an explanation for this: Any civilization, no matter how advanced its technology is now, will have its unique aspects. And this unique aspect will always exist in a certain period of its history. Even the descendants of this civilization may find it difficult to replicate. Ancient poetry is just such a thing. Yes, even though people in the Earth Federation's Huaxia district still study Chinese, the cultural heritage has never been lost, but it is very difficult to write ancient poetry like that of thousands of years ago...

Li Xing nodded in agreement with Ying Rong's statement, because it was true. However, after much debate, someone still followed the rational opinion, as they were currently quite short of money. Rational fears that, even if someone wanted to read those few lines of poetry, they might be scared away by the high price, which would be a shame.

In the end, Ying Rong agreed as well. The two of them no longer thought much about it, and hung the poem on the website for now, waiting to see what the outcome would be. According to Ying Rong, Li Xing is very likely to break through at any moment now. This is the perfect time to intensify training, so after tidying up everything, he took a bus to the suburbs. The room he rented was too small, and it was not safe to exercise at home, so he came to the outskirts where there was more space and it was easier for him to move around.

In the suburbs, the place was spacious, and it was easier for him to exercise. When he arrived... "Alright, this should be about right." After walking for a while, Li Xin was called by Ying Rong.

"Is this enough?" They were standing in a fairly ordinary place. Now they were by a small river, with trees on both sides, but there was very little human activity, making it safer to exercise. "Yes, here is fine. Low-level ability training doesn't have many requirements. Your task today is... that." Ying Rong pointed to a large tree with his hand, and Li Xin turned to look.

"You need to channel your ability's power out of your body and attack that small tree until it is completely frozen," Ying Rong explained. It was like that... Li Xin had already become quite proficient at channeling, so perhaps the next step was to exercise his endurance... He understood Ying Rong's intention with just a moment's thought. He immediately began to act...

"It's about three meters away from this tree, and you can start now," Ying Rong said, indicating a distance of three meters from the tree. Li Xin raised his right hand and channeled his ability... He felt a strong gust of wind coming out of his hand and hitting the tree. Li Xin quickly looked at the tree and saw that there was a fairly large ice layer in the middle. Excited, he raised his right hand and fired repeatedly, covering almost a quarter of the tree in no time.

It looked like today's task wasn't too difficult after all... Li Xing felt rather smugly. The shadow blade, which had been floating halfway in the air, glanced at him with its eyes and saw his arrogant expression. It secretly chuckled to itself: The task he had given out could never be so easily completed...

Today afternoon, the website for poetry enthusiasts in the Enya Star System, which was no different from usual, was stirred up by a newcomer who uploaded a work of his...

"Hmmph..." Lan Luo Xing, a regular resident, was a guy who always boasted of being a poetry enthusiast. After finishing work in the afternoon, he logged onto the website as usual and prepared to see if any of his fellow enthusiasts had uploaded any new works. Upon entering his personal page, he found a small recommendation from a friend. The friend had left a message saying that the link behind the poem was very good and that he should take a look at it no matter what.

Curious, he clicked on the link. The first free poem by Li Bai, Will You Drink Wine, appeared before him... After quickly reading it, he suddenly found himself sitting there, stunned... It was too bold and powerful! Unconsciously, he read the poem over and over again, and clicked to save it while doing so.

He spent over five minutes reading it, but his heart was still not calm. A surge of passion seemed to be welling up from the depths of his heart. Take a look at the second one, it's a very beautiful poem. But when he clicked on the second half, the system prompted him that the second half was charged... Will the price be set high?

He had a small worry in his heart, so the guy carefully looked at the price... 0.5 star coin... He suspected that he had read it wrong, damn it, he had worked all day, even his eyes were blurred...

He looked again, 0.5 star coin...

"..." Silence...

Damn it! He cursed in his heart! Which i***t set the price? Such a level of poetry should be charged five star coins or even ten star coins! But this guy, he only charges so little! What can 0.5 star coin do? It's just wasting the poem! Lowering its value!

Without saying a word, he immediately started leaving a message on the author's suggestion page: Respected author, your poem is very beautiful, it has left me with a lasting impression. So I suggest that the author might as well raise the price a bit. In this way, it would also be a fitting tribute to the very good poems you have written...

After leaving the message, he immediately clicked on the payment button and began to read the poem carefully and carefully. After reading it, he came to the third one, and he paid for it without hesitation... He earns over 6,000 starcoins a month as a mid-level executive, spending just 1.5 starcoins on his hobby, so it's hardly a big deal...

"Oh my..." Li Xing was taken aback by the state of the tree. Initially, he had thought that it would be fairly easy to freeze a small part of the tree in a short time with his ability, so he thought the task would be fairly simple. However, as he continued to freeze it, he realized that something was not right.

The ice that he released with his ability seemed to be very easy to melt! The ice that had been applied to the tree just ten minutes earlier was almost completely melted away. If this continued, the situation would be like this...

He kept freezing, while the un-frozen areas expanded, and the areas that had been previously frozen began to thaw. In this way, it was impossible to know how long it would take.

Looking up at the floating Inferno, who was looking at him with a leisurely expression, Li Xing guessed that he must have known about the current situation from the beginning. Thinking about it, he thought, "Yes, if it really was that simple, there wouldn't be any training value in it..."

At that moment, he gritted his teeth and stabilized his body's condition, and continued with his actions. If he wants the ice to last longer, he must concentrate more power and launch it in one go, so that the ice layer produced by the superpower will last longer, thus meeting Yingjian's requirements.

However, in this case, each attack will consume him more energy, requiring him to concentrate more, and soon, he was sweating all over again...but it turned out to be worth it. After 40 minutes, he found that he was in excellent condition and could easily concentrate his mind in an instant. His attacks were also becoming more and more proficient...

"Okay, take a break," Yingjian said. "Yes," Li Xing did not refuse. He was indeed exhausted...He swallowed a berry and rested on the ground for ten minutes. He jumped up and continued his task, and now, there was probably only 1/6 of the ice left on the tree. However, Li Xing knew that he could definitely complete the task this time because he had mastered the method...

By the time they got home that night, it was already dark. Thanks to the return of the spirit fruit, Li Xing could still move around normally and had no major discomfort. Back home, he had a quick meal and logged on to the website to check his earnings. His heart didn't hold much hope, after all, it had only been a few hours since he boarded the ship.

Entering the website, opening the page, and staring at the data in front of him, Li Xing's mouth, which was chewing a steamed bun, couldn't close...
