15: Really delicious

Ye Su certainly knew what the three of them were thinking, but he did not use any excuses to get out of this meal.

While out for an evening stroll, Ye Su took the initiative to go to the school gate and buy over eighty yuan worth of barbecue. Together with the snacks and fruit bought earlier in the day, and the beer brought back from the KTV that no one had touched, he had a late-night snack with the three of them.

The three roommates were not so pretentious that they would feel embarrassed to eat a meal of barbecue on Ye Su's tab.

They downloaded a dice-rolling app on their phones and played until after eleven. Fearing that continuing would disturb the neighboring dorm, the four of them finally ended the battle.

After cleaning up the leftover trash together and waiting in line for a shower, the time reached midnight.

[Ding!]

[Today's Intelligence (Level 1): Influenced by short videos, the [aurorafashion] style will become a popular trend for some time to come.]

"aurorafashion? What kind of thing is that again?"

When Ye Su bought clothes, his main priority was convenience and speed. Opening his wardrobe, nine out of ten pieces were likely black or white. He was completely clueless about trends or popular styles, nor did he care about such things.

So, upon seeing the three characters [aurorafashion], the only thing Ye Su could think of was: red, orange, yellow, green, blue—the colorful aurora.

"Could it be that the system thinks my dressing style is bad? Is it teaching me how to dress, or does it want me to wear these clothes to pick up girls?"

Ye Su felt that the system should not be that gossipy: "Probably just some useless intelligence again."

Level 1 intelligence was inherently unstable, and Ye Su was used to it. Seeing that the bathroom was free, he closed the system and went in to shower.

...

"Which one should I promote as the main item?"

On the other side, Ye Xin, whose Tmall store data had not been ideal lately, was still selecting products for the store past midnight.

Even after picking out the new items to be listed, Ye Xin still had not decided which one to use as the main featured item.

Traffic costs were getting more and more expensive nowadays. Plus, with the 3.15 consumer rights day approaching, and the fear of getting caught for faking orders, Ye Xin had to be cautious when choosing a main item to ensure he would not be working in vain this month.

"How about I wait until tomorrow and ask ASu to help pick one?"

For every successful product selection, besides having a good eye, there must be an element of luck involved.

Although Ye Xin always claimed not to believe in the older generation's feudal superstitions like "God bless".

But thinking about how Ye Su had been winning scratch-off lottery tickets and an electric scooter over the past two weeks—his luck was ridiculously good—a "true fragrance" thought suddenly arose in his heart, and he planned to borrow some luck from Ye Su.

Acting on the thought, Ye Xin locked in five candidates and then shut down his computer to sleep.

...

Accustomed to having 8 AM classes, even though he had drunk alcohol the night before, Ye Su still woke up before eight the next day.

Unwilling to accept that he still woke up so early on a weekend, Ye Su huddled in his blanket for nearly an hour before finally getting up under the warning of his bladder.

He washed his face, brushed his teeth, and solved breakfast with the milk and bread bought yesterday. Then Ye Su opened his computer, preparing to pick a movie to kill time for the day.

Buzz— As soon as the computer opened, his phone started vibrating.

Picking it up to look, he discovered it was his older brother sending him several styles of women's clothing in a row.

"What is this? Did he send it to the wrong person?"

Ye Su was completely confused and replied to Ye Xin with two [confused] emojis.

[What does this mean? Why are you sending me women's clothing?]

[Are you trying to buy clothes for someone and sent it to me by mistake?]

Ye Su was furious: In all these years, he had not bought me a single piece of clothing, but now he is picking out clothes for some woman outside, is he!

As a result, Ye Su just received two [wiping sweat] emojis.

[Brother: These are new items for my store. I want you to help me pick which one is more suitable as a main featured item.]

So that was it.

[These are for your store to sell, and they are women's clothing, what do I know about this?]

[You would be better off asking Sister to take a look for you.]

Playing is playing, messing around is messing around. When it involved Ye Xin's store business, Ye Su did not dare to mess around.

[Brother: You can just pick any one.]

[Brother: Haven't you been having very good luck lately? You win whatever you pick. I want to see if I can rub off some of your luck.]

So that was the idea.

Normally, letting him pick one at random would not be a problem. But Ye Su knew himself that all that talk about luck was just him making things up.

If he picked the wrong one and caused Ye Xin's store sales to be bad, then his responsibility would be huge.

"Wait, the intelligence the system gave last night, it seemed to be related to women's clothing, right?"

In the process of struggling with how to explain it to Ye Xin, Ye Su suddenly remembered the intelligence he had cast to the back of his mind last night.

"aurorafashion, right?"

Ye Su first searched on the short video platform and found that the video views for the [#aurorafashion] tag were indeed skyrocketing, already having over a hundred million views.

And there were many people following the trend to post new videos now; the views for this tag were definitely going to get higher and higher.

Feeling that Ye Xin, who was in the clothing business, must know more about these things than he did, Ye Su directly sent the screenshot to Ye Xin.

[I see that this [aurorafashion] tag online seems to be getting popular. Why don't you select clothes according to this style and add the tag into the search keywords to see if it works?]

[Brother: aurorafashion? Let me check.]

Truly worthy of being brothers. After waiting for quite a while to receive the message from his younger brother, Ye Xin just left him hanging and started searching for what [aurorafashion] was all about.

"It seems there is really something to this. As long as this tag gets popular, there will definitely be many people following the trend."

An unintentional act yields unexpected results. Asking Ye Su for his opinion was just a whim, and Ye Xin had not expected to actually have such an unexpected gain.

Acting on it immediately, Ye Xin started to re-select a few items according to this style, listed them, and added [aurorafashion] into the search keywords.

Seeing that there was no movement on WeChat for a long time, Ye Su sent another message to Ye Xin.

[So, can this be used?]

[Brother: It should work, but I still need to promote it first and see how the data looks before saying anything.]

The intelligence given by the system should not be wrong, and since Ye Xin also felt it was worth a shot, Ye Su finally felt relieved.

People who make a living on the internet nowadays have very sharp instincts. It is estimated that once this tag completely catches fire, there will definitely be a huge wave of people following the trend.

However, Ye Su believed that if Ye Xin could list the items one step ahead of others, he would at least be able to earn a wave of traffic first.

[If it works, you should know what to do, right?]

Fearing that his brother would play dumb, Ye Su even sent an emoji of [an orangutan reaching out for money].

As a result, within a few seconds, he received an emoji of [a chimpanzee throwing poop] sent by Ye Xin.

[I am seriously speechless!]

Failing to scam a red envelope out of Ye Xin made Ye Su feel like he had lost five million.

[Brother: Didn't you hear what Mom said in the group yesterday? She told me and A'Ruo not to give you any pocket money.]

[Oh? Now you know how to listen to Mom? Then Mom told you to find a girlfriend, but I do not see you listening to that.]

[Brother: Are you sure you want me to listen to that?]

[Brother: Guess who Mom will urge next if I bring a girlfriend home?]

[That would definitely be Sister, who else could it be but me?]

[Brother: Very good, I am screenshotting this to show A'Ruo now.]

[Never mind about the red envelope...]
