Chapter 182: Turn It Off.
It exploded!
The broadcast room completely exploded!
They had heard it very clearly. Tuesday had said that traces of aliens had been found!
What did this mean?
So, the broadcast room exploded!
[Did I hear wrongly?!]
[What did I hear?]
[Impossible!]
[Hehe! Aliens… is this possible?]
[For an AI to jump to such wild conclusions, hahaha.]
[What the f*ck is happening?]
[It’s the middle of the night, and now I can’t get to bed.]
[I’ve had enough with alien conspiracies. If this one turns out to be true, I’ll eat shit on livestream.]
[Quick, quick, quick! Big news!]
[I’ve always believed in aliens, whether you believe it or not!]
[I’m not going to sleep after this!]
[Didn’t some people say that there were aliens? Please come out!]
[Come on, I’m going to Mam Carol’s!]
[Piss and shit!]
[Madam Carol, pleaseee explain the meaning of this!]
As the chat flew into a frenzy, a huge influx of people stormed into Jelly Media’s stream.
They all hoped to get reliable information from Caroline.
Nana suddenly became spirited.
Her eyes were full of curiosity.
She hoped to find out from Caroline whether this matter was true or not.
As for this matter, Caroline did not immediately begin speaking.
She kept writing and scribbling in her notebook, as if she was going to make a draft.
Looking at her actions, the netizens knew that Mam Carol was planning to make it sound reasonable.
Hence, they did not rush her.
After waiting for about three minutes, Caroline’s hands stopped.
She picked up the microphone and stood up.
The chatter was reduced by 90%.
It was as if they were waiting for Caroline’s answer.
Caroline stood up and immediately used her ultimate move.

“I know, you guys might not be able to wait anymore!”
Madam Carol smiled slightly. She didn’t intend to keep them in suspense and went straight to the point.
“If it’s from a probability perspective, I can tell you with certainty that there will definitely be aliens in our universe!”
Caroline’s words were undoubtedly a deep-water bomb.
The bullet comments in Ma Dou’s live broadcast room immediately went crazy!
The curious babies seemed to be unable to accept this fact.
[No way! Mam Carol, you must be lying to me.]
[Madam Carol, don’t joke around, this isn’t funny at all!]
[I’m scared, have you seen the shit Giger came up with! I’m so scared!]
[Will there really be aliens?]
[Hehe! Probability! I don’t believe in probability! If probability was useful, I would have won the lottery a long time ago, to hell with probability!]
[Turn it off, Caroline, you actually said such a thing!]
Caroline was not even reading the chat.
She continued.
“Perhaps, many people only know that our universe is very big, but they don’t know how big it is!”
“They don’t know either, the probability of producing intelligent life!”
“Let me lay it out for you!”
“What is the probability of aliens appearing!”
After saying that, Mam Carol immediately picked up her draft.
“Many people probably know that our planet has already been born for 4.6 billion years.”
“And our planet didn’t appear just after the universe exploded, but 9 billion years after its birth.”
“This is our timeline.”
“In our observable outer-ear universe, there are already over 100 planets known to be suitable for life.”
“In the Milky Way, there are over a trillion planets, and on average, one out of every 10,000 planets is suitable for life.”

“This means that one out of every 500,000 habitable planets will give birth to life.”
“In the Milky Way alone, there will be at least 500 planets with life.”
“Moreover, out of these 500 planets, more than half of them were born earlier than ours.”
“This can all be deduced from within the Milky Way.”
“What of other galaxies?”
“Compared to humans, cells are incomparably tiny existences.”
“Similarly, the Milky Way is also extremely tiny compared to the universe.”
“If there are 200 planets with life in the Milky Way, then how many planets with life are there in the Universe?”
“This deduction is based on the conditions for the formation of carbon-based life forms.”
“In this vast universe, would only carbon-based life forms appear?”
“No! Carbon-based life is only one of the many life forms.”
“So, think about it carefully, what are the chances of aliens appearing?”
“From my own deduction, I think there are aliens.”
“As for what Tuesday said about discovering aliens on Earth… I can’t guarantee that!”
“After all, the sea area around the island has been mostly developed. If there were any alien remains there, they would have been discovered long ago!”
Caroline spoke her mind.
She believed that there were aliens.
But she did not believe what Tuesday found was of alien origin.
She couldn’t guarantee it.
After hearing Caroline’s words, the bullet screen was idle for a period of time.
However, it soon caused a heated discussion.
[Did you guys understand? I did!]
[Mam Carol is spot-on! It’s completely normal for aliens to exist. We humans are not unique!]
[So what if there are aliens? I guess I won’t be able to see them in my lifetime!]
[She’s quite clear on that. There are aliens in the universe, but on earth… probably none!]
[Mam Carol: Aliens, yes. On Earth, no.]
[I do hope that aliens will appear. After all, we humans are so lonely!]
[Humans, this strange group, just need the stimulation of external objects. Otherwise, there will always be internal strife.]
[Mam Carol is quite pertinent. After all, she is an old-timer scientist!]
[I don’t know if the aliens are good-looking. If they are big-headed babies, it’s better not to appear!]
Madam Carol’s words had been very vague, but everyone could understand what she meant.
She did not think that there were aliens on Earth.
The point was that it was almost impossible for them to appear near the island.
Any resources in a place where humans were active were money.
Even the bottom of the sea would have been carefully scrounged.
Therefore!
Everyone agreed.
There were no aliens on Earth.
However, many people did not expect Raymond to actually believe Tuesday’s story.
He actually followed Tuesday to the beach.
It was late at night, and he followed Tuesday to the beach.
Was Raymond that energetic?
[He is confused!]
[If it were me, I would let Tuesday check it out carefully first!]
[I think he just looks energetic. Lack of sleep is probably causing his brain to break down!]

Synchronizing Minds - A first contact story
So what are the intelligent aliens like? The humans didn't know for quite some time, since even though they had ventured out far, they had only found few animal species and those had been as far from sapience as common earthworms. But now they had finally stumbled upon someone and a first contact meeting is happening. Can ambassador Neil, the represantitive of humans, find friendship standing before a vastly different sapient creature that is six times her size and just learned about the concept of language? Or are the humans actually the weird ones?

Sword System Academia
2/17 NOTICE: I'm putting this on hiatus, possibly permanently. I didn't want to spam with an "update chapter", so hopefully here and in the story blurb will get enough eyeballs. There are a couple reasons for ending SSA for now. 1) I wrote the next chapter but wasn't happy with it. I've been less and less satisfied with SSA's quality the more I thought about it. Part of the reason is... 2) I am seriously thinking about trying to publish some novels to help pay the bills, since I don't have my other source of income anymore. I have never asked for anything from SSA readers, no money, not even a review or rating. SSA is written for fun to amuse myself, primarily, and I would kind of feel bad actually charging someone money for something as unserious as that. I don't think it is good enough to ask anything in return. To use an analogy from music, SSA is more like a jam session with a bunch of friends. You're just chiling and having fun playing some music. I mean, if you are Mozart or even Eminem, your jam session is good enough to sell, but for an amateur beginner like myself, haha, no. If I want to publish something, I feel like I need to go the proper route of practice and rehearsals, which might be more similar to a classical concert performance. With SSA, I work from worldbuilding notes and a loose outline, but what you are essentially getting is the first draft with lots of so-called pantsing. Pushing out a web novel like this also means it is very difficult to go back and improve things without breaking everything else downstream. I wanted to try this "jamming" approach, as it was a good way to teach me about another aspect of writing, but to move forward, I think I need to hone my "classical" techniques, which emphasize rewriting, or at least, revising outlines. 3) While I intend to try to make $$$, my actual current goal is to "get gud". I've spent a lot of time recently trying to understand the self-publishing industry, and I'm pretty sure I can make some money by using short-term strategies with my current amateur skill level. But I've seen too many authors come and go/burnout, and really, the only way that I think I can enjoy writing and still make money on a long-term basis is to become a better writer. And the next step for me, which I haven't done much before, is to spend more time on rewriting and outlines. That is pretty much antithetical to the way SSA is developing. I've always been kind of 20/80 plotting/pantsing, but I want to spend a lot more time outlining before I even start writing. SSA jam sessions don't really fit my goal anymore. If you're curious about what's next, read on... Among other regrets, I regret not finishing SSA. It's the first story I've dropped, but then again, it's the first web novel I've attempted, so I suppose that's not a surprise. I don't think traditional web novel formats suit me that well. The whole SSA story I had loosely planned (beyond a first book or major arc) is way too large as well. Big story = good for neverending webnovel with Patreons, bad for penniless and fickle writer like me. I am currently outlining a complete trilogy to another story in great detail. I want the story to end concisely, and I also want the chance to really spend a lot of time on the full outline to spot pacing problems, character issues, lost themes, and so on. I'll still share this story on RR. What I intend to do is finish book 1, flash-publish the whole thing here for a few weeks, then publish on the big Zon. Repeat for books 2 and 3. The upcoming story will be about crafting heroes. The backdrop is an isekai-like setting, where elves will summon humans to their world as heroes, but the whole hero crafting business is still in its infancy. The elven mage researchers are figuring out how to imbue heroes with power, while the heroes are trying to figure out how to use the powers that they gain. Humans are the best hero templates because they are blank and have no intrinsic magic. Or at least that what the elves thought. The human MC has his own secrets... There will be some similarities with litrpgs, but I would call it more a progression fantasy or gamelit story. For example, the stats are very low, at least initially. Say we have a stat called Str. Going from Str = 1 to Str = 2 is a huge deal. Also, going from Dex = 0 to Dex = 1 is an even bigger deal. I guess you could call it a "low-stat litrpg", haha. Also, the heroes won't be gaining stats simply by killing things or leveling up. You can't increase stats arbitrarily, either. There will be rules to how stats can increase, and how they work with each other. The elven mages will be figuring out these rules in order to craft stronger and stronger heroes. Some inspiration will be from cultivation magic systems, but there won't be overt cultivation, at least for now. A theme I really want to explore is the idea of interactions. That includes things like hero crafter vs hero, tactics vs strategy, skill synergies, racial interactions (dwarves, elves, etc), and son. Yeah, so hero crafting. I'm super excited about this project and venturing into publishing. If you want to check out the upcoming story, you can follow my RR author profile to see when it drops here. Finally... THANK YOU TO EVERYONE! I'm very sorry that SSA is stopping, but I hope at least some of you will find the next story at least as enjoyable, if not more. Thanks to all the readers who gave SSA a shot. Big hug or solid fistbump to all of you, whichever you prefer! I hope this message is not a downer but an upper, because I am psyched!! -purlcray -------------- BLURB: Talen, youngest Master of the Koroi, makes his way to the Empire's capital to salvage his clan's fate. But the bustling city has few opportunities for the traditionalist. For the old sword clans are fading. With the rise of alchemy, gold can purchase strength that ordinarily took years of training to cultivate. Sword artists, once rare and accomplished, are quickly growing in number, especially among the wealthy noble class. Even with such alchemy, though, no one has advanced to the rank of Grandmaster in countless years. Talen's true dream is to walk the path of a sword artist to the very end while fulfilling his clan duties. And then the Swordgeists return, fabled founders of all sword arts, gods who had touched the world long ago and vanished. These myths turned into reality warn of a coming threat. Alongside this warning, they issue an invitation to the Sword System Academy, a path to power beyond the mortal realm. But first, they will hold an entrance exam... Story notes:Sword System Academia blends elements of western and asian fantasy such as xianxia and litrpg. I took parts from different genres I enjoyed and twisted them into my own creation. There will be an explicit system, both of the litrpg kind and the hard(ish) magic kind, but it is embedded within an academic structure that will develop over the course of the story. This is my attempt to design a unique type of system, the System Academia.
