ICTEUWMN Chapter 190 Bonus

Bonus Extra

Shortly after Fish Soup Noodles returned smoothly from the island wedding vacation, the second Mermaid Literary Award also decided the final winner after fierce competition.

In addition to the usual prize packages, the top ten lucky winners also received a special gift personally crafted by Fish Soup Noodles.

A Blue Star Kaleidoscope!

It was said that through it, one could see restored images of the ancient Blue Star’s mountains, rivers, cityscapes, and the evolution of civilization. The craftsmanship was exquisite, and filled with strong cultural flavor.

[What!? There’s such a special prize for the third competition? If I had known the prizes were this amazing, I would’ve crawled to submit my entry TwT]

[And the restored images are too realistic! It feels like I just witnessed the birth of a civilization! Suddenly I’m more interested in the history of Ancient Blue Star]

[Ahem, so is there any kind soul willing to sell theirs? I’m willing to pay! Send me a private message with your price, I won’t tell anyone, I swear! I’ll buy Teacher Fish Soup Noodles’ handmade Blue Star Kaleidoscope no matter the cost!]

There were even people online trying to publicly buy it for high prices, but no matter how loud they shouted, none of the winners seemed even slightly interested in letting go.

After all, it was a handcrafted piece by Teacher Fish Soup Noodles himself! Just placing it at home and touching it daily was enough to bring overwhelming happiness. Who would be willing to part with it?

Although at this time, Yu Mian, who had given out the gifts, had not yet realized the strange spatial overlap effect that those Blue Star Kaleidoscopes were about to trigger.

There was another piece of good news during the honeymoon. Thanks to the rising popularity of “Live Broadcast Of Huaxia”, the conch shell finally regained its original color, making it possible to return to Earth again.

Naturally, Yu Mian sneaked back to Earth once more, restocking a massive pile of various historical data books.

At the same time, he quickly handed out wedding candy to his Earth fish fans and announced the good news.

To the Earth fish fans, it felt no less than a thunderbolt from a clear sky.

[What!? Who is it!? Who stole our Teacher Fish Soup Noodles!? O皿0]

[Wait, how has Teacher Fish Soup Noodles been updating so crazily every day and still had time to fall in love? Teacher, are you some kind of time management master? (screaming)]

[We were careless. We were happily reading the updates and now you tell us our home was robbed?!]

You had to know that during this time, Fish Soup Noodles’ draft box seemed endless, spitting out several full-length prewritten new books.

From “chasing wife to the crematorium”, to “interstellar upgrade flow”, “food farming slice of life”, “horror unlimited flow”, and even bold and unrestrained xianxia…each theme was completely different.

Countless fish fans were exclaiming that this was pure bliss, it was so good that they couldn’t stop even after seeing the dark circles under their eyes due to staying up late.

Everyone had praised Fish Soup Noodles for shedding the ghosting reputation and transforming into a living writing machine.

He was simply a god!

And now, suddenly, wedding candy!?

Countless boyfriend/girlfriend fans had their hearts shattered overnight. In the fan community, tears were practically flooding the place.

[A Bowl of Fish Soup Noodles V: Ahem, I just went on a little vacation during the serialization and found love. So I’m giving everyone some candy~ Also, the new book “Live Broadcast Of Huaxia” will start updating soon~ throwing confetti! [photo]]

In response to the wailing, Yu Mian naturally explained it by typing away on the keyboard, and finally smiled as he attached an official wedding photo personally chosen and approved by his mother.

And it had to be said, once the photo was posted, the previously wailing Earth fish fans all went silent for a second.

Temporarily halting their heartbreak from their home being robbed, they furrowed their brows and studied this precious wedding photo very seriously and critically.

[How to say it… objectively speaking, ahem, the looks… actually match really well?]

[Don’t say it! No, you really shouldn’t say it!!]

[Wow, was this a seaside wedding on an island? It looks amazing, the sky’s unbelievably blue, the sea crystal clear. Is this some vacation island resort in Sanya, the Maldives, or the Gold Coast in Australia??]

In the photo, Teacher Fish Soup Noodles wore a white wedding suit, waving at the camera and seemingly saying something with a smile, while Huo Ting stood beside him, smiling at Yu Mian with eyes full of warmth.

Their interlocked fingers, the dreamy island scenery, and blooming floating floral arrangements were really captivating.

Even the pickiest of fans couldn’t bring themselves to criticize the wedding scene as not matching their expectations.

On the contrary, the image was so perfect it looked like something out of a romance novel.

[At least it’s a feast to the eyes. Isn’t this way too pleasing to the eye?]

[It’s just that I have a habit of saving all of Teacher Fish Soup Noodles’ photos as my screensaver…but it’s weird, why are my eyes peeing this time T+T]

[Hehehe Teacher Fish Soup Noodles is smiling so happily, then we can rest assured. But seriously, isn’t this guy way too blessed!? Who on earth is he!]

Only editor Lin Sen in the editorial department felt a sense of clarity, as if everything was within expectations.

After all, when he went to urge for updates before, he had unexpectedly met Fish Soup Noodles’ lover.

He hadn’t expected even the wedding photo to be so perfect.

And as the first editor to receive the wedding candy delivery, Editor Lin Sen chewed on the candy happily while tapping at his keyboard, chatting with his author, who had disappeared for a while to play and just came back online, about the new book.

Soon, Yu Mian sent over the latest drafts.

Naturally, Lin Sen was fascinated by the new historical novel “Live Broadcast Of Huaxia”.

He hadn’t expected the ancestors in history to reappear in such a way in a novel, and with such unexpectedly hilarious comedic effects.

[Five Woods: Rest assured, Teacher Fish Soup Noodles, I have a premonition this book will definitely do well! But can your body really take it? You weren’t writing during your wedding, right?]

Lin Sen even felt a bit ashamed at how dedicated his author was, suddenly feeling like he, as an editor, needed to work even harder.

[Fish: Uh, well, writing multiple books at the same time actually isn’t that hard. Just tap a bit on the keyboard and it comes out, no need to worry too much about me. Oh, and as usual, the draft folder is already stuffed with over a hundred chapters.]

Facing the worship and concern of his Earth editor, Yu Mian took a sip of water guiltily and quickly replied to Editor Lin Sen.

He couldn’t possibly say that he actually had something like an alternate-dimensional space in the interstellar, where he could write crazily over there and then bring it back to Earth to update synchronously?

But writing one book and updating in two places at once really did feel awesome.

After finishing things on Earth, Yu Mian hugged a pile of newly bought data books and touched the conch shell. As expected, he smoothly fell back into his study in the interstellar.

And right then, the excited and joyful message from Shaxs popped up on the light brain.

[Crispy Shark: Teacher Fish Soup Noodles, has the new dynasty arc of “Live Broadcast Of Huaxia” started serialization? The response this time is really great, we plan to…]

Yu Mian quickly switched roles and replied to Editor Shaxs. Suddenly, he had an inexplicable feeling…was he secretly keeping editors on both sides, and both of them thought they were the closest people to him?

No, this must be his imagination.

How could he be such a scumbag?

We mermaids are the most loyal fish.

However, without Yu Mian knowing, during this period, any author who had touched the Blue Star Kaleidoscope prize from the second Mermaid Literary Award before sleep, all coincidentally entered a strange website in their dreams.

Just like in “Live Broadcast Of Huaxia”, where ancient people could see scenes from different time-spaces through a live broadcast, a strange website also appeared before their eyes.

It’s just that this connection was rather unstable, many features hadn’t opened yet, and a lot of text flickered in and out of view.

The grand prize winner, Aris, who was the first to enter this miraculous dream-forum, was also the one who unlocked the most features among the linkers.

After a round of study, Aris finally confirmed that this seemed to be a forum.

And it was a novel discussion forum on the Blue Star version of the star network-the “Internet”!

[Um, sorry to bother you, but is this the ancient Blue Star novel discussion forum? Do you ancient Blue Star people also like reading novels?]

Aris even managed to figure out how to make a post, and this curious thread naturally quickly attracted attention.

[Uh, is OP cosplaying an interstellar person from a sci-fi novel? Hahaha, this is so interesting, roleplay?]

[You know what, it reminds me of those old cultivation novel roleplay threads. Like, ‘Junior Sister blew up the pill furnace again,’ and ‘Employment rate for alchemists drops three years in a row!’]

[Most importantly, how is your IP listed as unknown? How did you do that? I want that too!!!]

Faced with the Earth netizens’ curious questions, Aris increasingly felt that the people on the other side weren’t bots.

Their tone was so vivid and lifelike, even though he couldn’t understand many of the words.

[Aris: Uh? What are you talking about? I don’t know why my IP is unknown either. I’m clearly a citizen of the Federation Central Star. Maybe your ancient Blue Star just can’t accurately determine my address?]

As more and more Earth netizens stumbled into the post, they gradually realized this OP seemed pretty serious.

The responses were proper and formal, and kept referring to “you ancient Blue Star people” this and “you ancient Blue Star people” that.

This instantly amused everyone.

We’re ancient Blue Star people, and you’re an interstellar person?

But this OP clearly was more curious about novels on Earth, so the topic started drifting, and thus began a completely mismatched inter-universe conversation.

For example, when Aris asked how frequently Blue Star authors updated their work, Earth netizens all started making stuff up for comedic effect.

[Our Blue Star authors are super diligent, okay? It’s very normal to release 10,000 words a day! If an author disappears, just find their editor and they’ll immediately catch them and make them cough up 100,000 words on the spot!]

[Yes yes yes, even though we’re from Blue Star, daily updates of 10,000 words are just standard operating procedure. And our entire site has zero authors who go on hiatus! Awesome, right?]

While Aris’s pupils were shaking from shock, Earth netizens quickly received a heavy counterattack from the interstellar side.

For instance, when Aris casually mentioned the super-intelligent automatic grading system of the star network in the interstellar era, countless Earth netizens instantly rose to their feet.

What!? Your website actually allows free-driving and steaming “meat” without restriction?

Then doesn’t that mean every author is a grandmaster at writing smut!?

How could there be such a blissful thing in the world?

The two sides gradually chatted so enthusiastically that when Aris suddenly disconnected and disappeared upon waking from the dream at dawn, he stared blankly at the ceiling for half the day.

Wait a minute, did he have a strange dream last night?

But how could everything in the dream feel so real?

At the same time, readers on Earth also discovered that they had all encountered a peculiar person in their dreams last night, someone who claimed to be from the future interstellar era.

[Strange, it’s too strange! My sister and I actually both dreamed of that guy who claimed to be from the interstellar era!]

[Huh? What are you talking about? Someone from the interstellar era in your dreams? And they discussed novels with you?]

[Hahaha, maybe you’ve been craving meat for too long and imagined an interstellar era full of authors who constantly write driving scenes and smut?]

Although many netizens said they didn’t understand a word of what others were saying and had absolutely no dreams the night before…

As time went on, however, things gradually began to get strange.

Because every time the dream forum refreshed randomly, the number of readers from both the interstellar side and Earth who could log in and communicate grew.

To the point where more and more readers on both Earth and in the interstellar era began to close their eyes each night in anticipation, curious yet with a slight fear of the unknown:

Will we dream of that strange website tonight too?

It was mainly because the other side seemed really friendly and didn’t appear to have any malicious intent.

When describing and exchanging about their novel environments, they matched each other’s utopian imaginations perfectly!

[Host! Something terrible has happened!]

At this time, Yu Mian, who had been in seclusion and focusing on saving drafts, was suddenly woken up by the long-absent system voice, and was stunned for a while.

Hadn’t his system left after he completed the mission?

[Of course I came back! Ahhh, I’m so happy to see you again, but this isn’t the time to be happy, something really bad has happened!]

Although the returning little system really wanted to hug its host and cry and reminisce about the past, it had to quickly spill out the major bug that had just occurred.

[For some unknown reason, the Earth and interstellar readers’ forums suddenly fused in a certain space-time turbulence, and this fusion is expanding! Now they seem to be gradually trying to confirm each other’s existence!]

Yu Mian: Ah?

This panicked report from the system successfully gave Yu Mian the feeling that while he recognized every word, he had no idea what the sentence meant when they were put together.

What do you mean by the readers’ forums have fused?

And what do you mean by they are gradually trying to confirm each other’s existence!?

[Forget it, just look at this, hurry up and look!]

The system simply gave up on trying to explain and directly showed Yu Mian a compilation of the rumors spreading across both the Earth and interstellar readers’ forums since the fusion phenomenon began.

For example, ever since the phenomenon started, a mysterious rumor had begun spreading in the interstellar readers’ forum.

It was said that the authors on Ancient Blue Star were very hardworking. Each of them updated ten thousand characters a day, and like how Teacher Fish Soup Noodles released multiple chapters in one day when his first book went V, that was totally normal.

If an author stopped updating, all it took was contacting their editor, who could immediately catch the author and force them to update 100,000 words on the spot!

At first, many interstellar readers didn’t quite believe it, but as more and more readers claimed they too dreamed of that mysterious website, all interstellar readers were shocked.

What? There could really be such a good thing in the universe?

So updating ten thousand words a day could be the norm?

And Earth readers were even more shocked.

Because these people claiming to be from the interstellar era seemed to be eating really well.

Apparently, the authors over there were amazing at writing, with tons of driving and meat scenes that were so fragrant they made the mouth water. If there was no meat, no one would even read it!

Earth readers: Ah!? There’s really such a good thing in the world!?

“Wait, no, are you making your own ‘Yilin Magazine’ or something? Who’s spreading these rumors!”

Yu Mian, who was watching the whole thing, felt like he was covered in black lines. Both sides seemed to have huge misunderstandings and massive rose-tinted filters about each other.

How was this any different from those articles serialized on Yilin back in the day, always claiming that the moon is always rounder and brighter on the other side?

When was this system bug going to get fixed?

But just as Yu Mian was trying to research with his little system how the bug had even occurred, the situation took another step toward being completely out of control.

Because as the forum’s duration increased each time, the readers on both sides gradually had more and more opportunities to communicate.

Finally, during one exchange, they discovered a strange truth.

[Eh, I suddenly thought of something, can we ask what your favorite type of novel is?]

[Yes, yes, now that we’ve met, why not share our reading lists and enjoy books together?]

[Wow, that’s a great idea, double the happiness!]

Once the first comment realizing the magical use of this cross-space-time book forum appeared, both sides quickly got excited.

Wasn’t the biggest function of this strange cross-space-time forum to recommend good novels to each other?

What was the point of mutual shock? Swapping book lists was the real joy!

Who cared if the dream was real or not? If they could get access to novels from the other side of time and space, wouldn’t that immediately cure everyone’s book drought and starvation?

[Aris: Then I’ll go first! Lately we’ve been super into Teacher Fish Soup Noodles’ new book “Live Broadcast Of Huaxia”. The Ancient Blue Star’s history in it is so fascinating. Now that we’ve got the chance, I wanted to ask you all about it…]

But as soon as Aris jumped forward to share and recommend his favorite book, the Earth readers were instantly shocked and flooded the screen.

[…?]

[???]

A flood of question marks appeared, almost making Aris and all the interstellar fish fans wonder if they had accidentally said something wrong.

For example, was it forbidden to mention Ancient Blue Star history in front of Ancient Blue Star people?

But soon, an Earth fish fan replied:

[Ah? No, it’s not some taboo or anything. It’s just that our greatest and most beloved author is also Teacher Fish Soup Noodles, okay? I’m also currently chasing the updates of “Live Broadcast Of Huaxia”!]

[!???]

[What? You’re chasing it too? But isn’t Teacher Fish Soup Noodles from our Earth??]

[Hah? When did our Teacher Fish Soup Noodles become yours? You Ancient Blue Star readers can’t be so domineering and stealing fish right in front of us like that…]

This time, both sides exploded.

Could it be that the appearance of this strange dream forum was actually related to Teacher Fish Soup Noodles?

And at this very moment, Yu Mian, who had been secretly laughing while watching the whole thing unfold through the system’s display: ?

No, hold on, how did the fire suddenly burn to his side?

And just as Yu Mian’s crisis radar was off the charts, a new post appeared.

[Five Woods: Hold on, as the editor with the closest relationship with Teacher Fish Soup Noodles, I, Lin Sen, can very responsibly say that Teacher Fish Soup Noodles has always been our ace signed author, okay? How could he be some Huanyu’s author in the interstellar-era?]

As soon as Editor Lin Sen’s post came out, Earth fish fans immediately felt like they had found their backbone and stood up straight.

[Warmly welcome our Editor Lin Sen! Cheering wildly!!]

[That’s right, Teacher Fish Soup Noodles has always been from our Earth, okay? The editor is here, the proof is solid, just stop struggling already.]

Editor Shaxs, who also dreamed of the strange website for the first time tonight, suddenly started twitching his fingers wildly under the blanket with a fierce expression on his face.

It was as if he was typing furiously on a light brain even in the dream.-

Author’s note:

At first, both sides argued stubbornly: You’re the cheap fans Teacher Fish Soup Noodles got as a bonus after a recharge!!

At the end of the argument, everyone was overwhelmed and trying to find the culprit to settle the score…

I actually didn’t plan to post this until I got all three bonus extras, but…here you go, I shouldn’t feel itchy alone haha, just kidding. I saw someone was asking about the Earth fish fans so I decided to post. Back to the point, the bonus chapters are a bit hard to find, but I’ll post them whichever I manage to get. 🧡🧡
