Chapter 7 Reunion
Li Suifeng opened his Kuaiyin, and as expected, a flood of 999+ messages greeted his eyes.
He clicked on the profile page of Past Drifts with the Wind.
Following: 0. Followers: 980,000.
It was about to hit one million; it was growing way too fast.
The view counts for the two videos of "you hide, i hide" had reached 12 million and 9 million respectively.
You have to realize this happened without him using any promotional tactics. Furthermore, the keywords "you hide, i hide" and "wish and sorrow" were both on the trending search list; while they weren't at the top, ranking 7th and 8th was still very eye-catching.
The messages on his profile page were so numerous that Li Suifeng's phone froze up completely. Even though new notifications kept appearing at the top of the phone, he couldn't open them because the page was stuck.
After trying multiple times to no avail, Li Suifeng had no choice but to force-restart his phone. Looking at the Xiaomi logo on the screen, he felt quite helpless.
"It looks like I need to get a better phone tomorrow. If I have enough funds, I'll replace my computer too. Money is never enough. System, can't you just give me a few million to spend for now?" he thought to himself.
Of course, the cold system did not respond to Li Suifeng.
However, the fact that there were 2.4 million Heavenly King Points sitting in the system warmed his heart; it was very thoughtful. Li Suifeng exchanged them for two more high-quality songs.
He used the remainder to upgrade his Singing Ability skill to the perfect level. Since he already had a foundation in Singing Ability, upgrading this skill wasn't too difficult.
Looking at the remaining twenty-thousand-plus Heavenly King Points in his system, which jumped to over thirty thousand in a short while, Li Suifeng was satisfied.
After eating, Li Suifeng cleared the dining table and returned to his bedroom to turn on his second-hand computer.
Enjoying the cold air from the air conditioner, Li Suifeng's fingers danced across the keyboard. The only sound in the empty room was the clacking of his typing.
Following the content appearing in his mind, Li Suifeng typed rapidly into the document with a serious expression.
"Chapter 1: Li Xiaoyao, Yuhang County..."
Because the text was already in his mind, Li Suifeng's typing speed was incredibly fast.
In the afternoon, after finishing the plot where Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Linger get married, Li Suifeng stood up and stretched. Then, he looked for the most popular novel website in this world, Tomato Novel.
He registered an account. Originally, he wanted to use the ID Past Drifts with the Wind, just like on Kuaiyin, but it showed as already taken, so he changed it to Pen Name.
He immediately published the content he had already written directly onto the website.
He stared at the backend for a long time, but the reader count remained at zero, so Li Suifeng stopped paying attention to it.
Checking the time, it was only four o'clock. This place wasn't far from the bar; a ten-minute taxi ride would get him there. Li Suifeng opened the PC version of the Kuaiyin website—there was no other way, his phone was too laggy.
After logging into his account, the website was slightly laggy as well, but the information synced quickly. Looking at the 999+ messages in the backend...
Li Suifeng chose to check his private messages first, but many were from guilds asking if he wanted to sign with them, offering all sorts of empty promises. However, Li Suifeng was no longer a novice.
In his past life, he had been exploited by entertainment companies and had fallen into every trap, eventually working himself into illness. In this life, Li Suifeng would never work for these bloodsuckers again.
Besides, he had a system; reaching the pinnacle of the world was only a matter of time. As for so-called capital suppression, Li Suifeng would only laugh it off.
If you have talent and are suppressed by capital, it is indeed very difficult. But Li Suifeng was different; he had a system. In other words, he had a cheat code. Unless he completely gave up, he really didn't know how he could lose.
For now, he would start by doing Livestreaming, earning some money, and accumulating some popularity. Once he had some fame, he would look for opportunities to enter the public eye and fully develop his system resources... Of course, he was thinking a bit too far ahead.
Just as Li Suifeng was contemplating, a beautiful figure appeared in his mind—the beautiful woman from the morning. It seemed she lived right across from him; he wondered if there would be an opportunity to get to know her.
"What are you thinking about?" Li Suifeng patted his head, dismissing the thought.
However, this body was in the middle of puberty with an excess of hormone secretion; thinking about women seemed quite normal.
Coming back to his senses, Li Suifeng continued to check the messages in the backend, but the vast majority of private messages were invitations from guild operators.
Li Suifeng blocked them one by one and even set it so that only those who followed each other could send him messages.
After handling the private messages, Li Suifeng opened the system notifications. They were all tags directed at him; various internet celebrity beauties were tagging him. Li Suifeng looked confused.
He clicked on a few messages and realized that other internet celebrities were using "you hide, i hide" and "wish and sorrow" as BGM for their video creations. According to the platform's protocol, they needed to tag him because these two songs had not yet been released on music platforms, so they couldn't use them directly.
This delighted Li Suifeng. Wasn't this just bringing traffic to him in disguise? No wonder the Heavenly King Points were rising so fast. Although he had some popularity, he wasn't stupid enough to complain about having too much; it was mutually beneficial.
Afterward, with nothing to do, Li Suifeng started his journey of scrolling through videos. However, what made Li Suifeng uncomfortable was that out of ten videos, eight of them had "you hide, i hide" or "wish and sorrow" as the BGM.
Fortunately, the ladies in the videos were impressive, and the various Dance and transformation videos were very enjoyable to watch. Otherwise, Li Suifeng would have found it hard to keep scrolling; no matter how good a song is, looping it dozens or hundreds of times makes it easy to get tired of it.
He looked at the time in the bottom right corner: 17:24.
Li Suifeng reluctantly turned off the computer, grabbed a change of clothes, and walked toward the bathroom.
After showering and throwing his clothes into the washing machine, Li Suifeng walked to the mirror and looked at his handsome face.
Li Suifeng's face was delicate and youthful. Even though his predecessor often worked part-time jobs and was exposed to the sun, his skin hadn't tanned, and his pale yellow complexion looked very comfortable.
"This face is really not bad; it's on par with my past life. Should I show my face during the Livestreaming tonight?" Li Suifeng muttered to himself, feeling pleased.
After getting ready, Li Suifeng grabbed his phone and keys and went out.
In the hallway, Li Suifeng scrolled through videos while waiting for the elevator.
"Ding." The elevator arrived. Li Suifeng put his phone down and looked at the elevator door.
The elevator door opened, and a devastatingly beautiful face came into view. While Li Suifeng was stunned, a pair of fair, jade-like legs stepped out of the elevator.
However, she was looking down at her phone at that moment and didn't notice the dazed Li Suifeng.
Then, getting closer and closer, the two of them bumped right into each other. Realizing what happened, they immediately separated. An awkward Li Suifeng spoke first.
"Sorry, I was thinking about something and got distracted."
"It's okay, I wasn't looking where I was going."
The woman's tone was a bit cold, but her voice was very pleasant. However, realizing her attitude was wrong, she gave Li Suifeng a smile in return.
"It's fine then. Did you just get off work?" Li Suifeng initiated the conversation.
"The elevator door is closing." The woman reminded him with a faint smile.
Seeing that she didn't want to engage, Li Suifeng didn't make a fool of himself. He nodded, hurried into the elevator, and immediately turned around once inside. The beautiful figure that wouldn't leave his mind was still standing there, elegant and graceful.
She was looking at him with a faint smile, which left Li Suifeng slightly bewildered, but he couldn't help but wave his hand.
Han Yayin couldn't help but lower her head and smile, then she waved back at him.
As the elevator door closed, she walked toward her front door.
After the elevator door closed, Li Suifeng felt his heart pounding rapidly. On his clothes and in the elevator, the woman's perfume still lingered; it smelled very good.
