Chapter 323

As the winner who regained the Nobel Prize in Literature this time, Ye Xuan's phone had been blown up.

There were calls from the presidents of Tsinghua and Peking University, calls from Editor-in-Chief Hua of the Machinery Industry Press, and even Dong Qin and Kang Hui, who had served as judges for the poetry competition, had specifically called...

All of them were calling to offer congratulations.

Perhaps because the phone was constantly busy, many people couldn't get through and turned to text messages and chat apps.

Ye Xuan's phone notification sound never stopped.

At a glance, they were all congratulatory messages.

【Yang Mi: Congratulations! How does it feel to win the Nobel Prize in Literature again?】

【Reba: Wow, you are just too amazing~?!】

【Chao Yue: Brother, my social circle has been flooded with news of your award! -】

【Yang Zi: Mr. Ye, as your loyal book fan, I'm so excited...】

……

Just as Ye Xuan replied to these familiar friends one by one, the worship of Ye Xuan by countless netizens had reached its peak.

In an instant, many netizens even began to buy up everything Ye Xuan had used at high prices.

And more netizens turned their attention to Ye Xuan's books!

With this, a book-buying craze arose overnight.

That night, countless netizens rushed into major shopping platforms, frantically snapping up Ye Xuan's books.

However, what awaited everyone was the same line of small text on Taobao, JD, Dangdang, and Amazon.

*One Hundred Years of Solitude*: Sold out.

*The Old Man and the Sea*: Sold out.

*The Return of the Condor Heroes*: Sold out.

*The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber*: Sold out.

*The Legend of the Condor Heroes*: Sold out.

*Slam Dunk*: Sold out.

Damn it!

Are netizens all tentacle monsters?!

Can't you leave a way for others to live?!

Upon discovering that major shopping platforms were sold out, a crowd of tearful netizens rushed into major live-streaming rooms.

However, after clicking on the shopping carts of major streamers, countless netizens discovered the same scene again.

It was the three big characters "Sold Out," as if waving goodbye to countless netizens.

Making countless netizens in front of their screens roar in anger on the spot.

Holy crap!

How was I a step late again?!

The comment sections of major book-selling live-streaming rooms were filled with the wails of netizens.

"Restock, restock, restock, restock, restock! Hurry up and restock for me, you idiot! 【Knife!】"

"Is there anyone who bought extra willing to transfer one?! I'll pay triple the price for a copy of *The Old Man and the Sea*, oh no, I'll pay five times the price!"

"I've already gone around the shopping websites and come back, how come even the live-streaming rooms are sold out?! I beg you netizens to be human, leave one for me!"

"Holy crap! Hurry up and buy it offline!"

"Damn! You shouted that out and now everyone knows!"

……

After countless netizens searched all major shopping websites and live-streaming rooms to no avail, they all turned their eyes to the bookstores near their homes.

With this, even though it was the quietest time of the night, large groups of people rushed aggressively toward bookstores that hadn't even opened yet.

However, when they actually arrived at the bookstores, everyone found that the lines at the entrances had already formed long queues.

Damn it!

How could they compete with this?!

It was even harder than grabbing concert tickets!

When the bookstore owners opened their doors and notified the queuing crowd that stock was limited, everyone in line ignited with burning fighting spirit.

They had to have their own copy!

A handsome man straightened his clothes, walked up to a girl in front of him, and affectionately pulled out a rose to confess.

"Beautiful lady, it was love at first sight for me."

Seeing a handsome guy offering her flowers, the girl suddenly felt her face heat up.

Was her charm already at this level?

She just wanted to buy a book, and she could actually get hit on by a handsome guy?!

The girl couldn't help but straighten her back, feeling increasingly secretly pleased.

But the next second, she heard the handsome guy in front of her say the final sentence affectionately.

"Please give me a chance, let me stand in front of you!"

Stand in front of her?!

Pfft!

The girl who was just secretly pleased suddenly turned bright red, clearly angered.

"Get lost!"

How could a dog of a man be more important than Ye Xuan's books?!

On the other side, a heavily made-up beautiful woman chose to cut the line without hesitation.

Seeing someone suddenly cut in front, the man behind her was immediately unhappy.

"Why aren't you queuing? Do you have any manners?!"

He thought saying this would discourage the beauty in front of him, but he didn't expect this beauty to look him up and down and sneer.

"So I have no manners, so what?!"
