The next day.

September arrived.

This was the first day after the conclusion of the Poetry Competition.

The literary world, since Teacher Admirable Fish and the Poetry Competition began, had stirred up a hurricane!

The account of Admirable Fish on blogs gained a massive following, attracting innumerable poetry enthusiasts!

Each continent.

Media were summarizing and categorizing the poems Admirable Fish presented at the Poetry Competition;

Countless literati were discussing these poems of Admirable Fish on various occasions;

Online, there were numerous netizens savoring these fine works with great interest;

Discussion!

Discussion!

Endless discussions!

And on the fifth day after the Poetry Competition concluded.

Silver Blue Books published "The Collected Works of Admirable Fish."

Although many publishers wanted to print these poems, Lin Yuan was after all a shareholder of Silver Blue Books, and it's impossible to choose another publisher during such times. To outsiders, it might seem that Silver Blue Books secured this poetry collection destined to trigger a publishing frenzy, solely based on Chu Kuang and Admirable Fish's relationship.

Indeed, that was the case!

The work, titled "The Collected Works of Admirable Fish," once published, set off a buying frenzy across the continents!

Never before had Blue Star seen any poetry collection published by an individual showcase such wild purchasing power from the public!

There was no help for it.

The online discussions about these poems were too fanatical!

So fanatical that many who hadn't even seen the live broadcast became curious and sought out the recorded broadcast of the Poetry Competition.

The video was easy to find.

Because the director Tong Shuwen had already edited it into a complete production, uncut, simply adding subtitles and such in post-production.

This was the third episode of "Fish Walking with You."

And the title was the pre-planned "A Tour of Lin Yuan."

The result.

Those who watched this third episode of "Fish Walking with You," which was the special edition for the Poetry Competition, were stunned!

As shocked as the viewers in the live broadcast rooms had been at that time!

Even if they had formed some expectations from the online discussions and had a rough idea of what would happen, their shock was not diminished in the least!

This was why "The Collected Works of Admirable Fish" sold like crazy as soon as it was published.

Later.

When Blue Star rated the "top five epic awkward moments in history."

The third episode of the variety show "Fish Walking with You," which featured the Poetry Competition scene, was astonishingly included!

But more noteworthy than these anecdotes was the response of the Literature and Art Association after the official publication of "The Collected Works of Admirable Fish":

"From today onwards, 'The Collected Works of Admirable Fish' by Teacher Admirable Fish is officially included in the extracurricular reading lists for elementary, middle, and high schools, with some content to be memorized verbatim. For specific teaching plans, please follow the guidance provided by the schools and teachers accordingly..."

Promotion!

Official Promotion!

The Literature and Art Association had actually made "The Collected Works of Admirable Fish" a required read for students' extracurricular lists!

It must be known.

The content of "The Collected Works of Admirable Fish" isn't just limited to the poems Lin Yuan showcased at the Poetry Competition!

This collection also encompasses poems and literary pieces that Admirable Fish had published before!

Like "Peach Blossom Poems."

Like "Song of Water."

And like "A Butterfly's Love for a Flower" and so on.

Even the "Teacher's Words," recited by Admirable Fish at the Poetry Competition, was included!

This was the reason why Silver Blue Books named it "The Collected Works of Admirable Fish" instead of just a poetry collection.

…

Responses from universities across Blue Star were swift.

Almost immediately after the education department under the Literature and Art Association set the goals, numerous school groups were flooded with related messages!

Within countless student parent groups.

Teachers, excited, @ all the parents:

"Please rush to the bookstore to purchase 'The Collected Works of Admirable Fish' and urge your children to study and understand it seriously, as it involves content for important school exams. If the bookstore runs out of stock, the school can contact the bookstore to order wholesale, giving everyone the lowest price to ensure that every student in the class has a copy!"

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh.

Within various university students' parent groups.

Parents were responding enthusiastically.

"Received, going to buy it now!"

"I've already bought it, and I'm about to arrange for my child to read it. These works are excellent, perfect for nurturing the literary levels of the children."

"Ha-ha, my family also bought it."

"With the endorsement of the Literature and Art Association, it implies that this could be relevant for exams like the middle school and high school entrance exams as well as college entrance exams, so it is necessary for children to study seriously."

"These poems and essays are written very well."

"Even if the Literature and Art Association hadn't endorsed it, I'd still have my children read it, it's highly beneficial for their learning."

"Agree, I'm reading it myself, the works inside are so wonderful!"

"I just don't like it when my child grips those extracurricular books by the old rascal Chu Kuang for no reason. His fairy tales are okay; after all, they carry strong educational significance. But those fantasy novels like 'Zhu Xian', I fear reading too much of them will affect their studies. If they do like extracurricular books, they should read these poems and literary essays written by Admirable Fish!"

The parents didn't resist at all!

They had a very high level of appreciation for "The Collected Works of Admirable Fish"!

They felt that reading "The Collected Works of Admirable Fish" was beneficial for their children.

As for Chu Kuang's fantasy novels, their children were too young and might not grasp them well; it was better for the parents to take charge.

Really like Chu Kuang?

Then try reading "Fairytale Town."

There are not many extracurricular books that receive such recognition from parents. "Fairytale Town" has no issues, and neither do Admirable Fish's poems and literary essays.

…

Compared to the enthusiastic support and endorsement from parents, the students found it a bit more challenging!
