Starting from a Bar to Sign Internet Celebrities

How explosive would that be?

The hundred million in profit could easily multiply several times over.

Plus, a story-driven game like this would only take about a week to shoot. Then, have the programmers embed it into a game template framework, and it could be finished in another half a month.

Crucially, Second-Life Star had secretly hired some programmers under the guise of developing its official website for the short-drama platform, so handling this would be no problem at all.

Besides, he had played this game several times in his past life and knew all the hidden endings. He also felt the original plot was a bit weak and could be improved by adding some daily, romantic gameplay elements.

His relationships with the girls were so deep that he could portray the romantic scenes vividly, which would definitely give players a more immersive experience than the original version from his past life.

It was just a shame about Lin Leqing’s current state. She completely lacked the vibe of Haohao’s Mother. If he were to make the game, he would definitely have to recast that role.

This game could make hundreds of millions if done right; there was no way he would pass it up.

And it was time to get started on it.

Kuaishou’s algorithm must have already been secretly launched and tested by now. They would be drawing their blade soon, and Tiao Yin would take a heavy blow. That would be his chance to capitalize on the situation.

But that process would certainly cost a lot of money, so any opportunity for a quick profit had to be seized immediately.

Just as Chen Jincheng was thinking about this, he suddenly received a message from Lin Leqing: "Senior, it’s my birthday today. I booked a private room at the Extreme Bar for tonight. I’d like to invite you for a drink."

He hadn’t known it was Lin Leqing’s birthday, but since his convenient junior had invited him, he agreed and replied: "Okay, I’ll be there. What do you want for a gift?"

"I want you to film a video for me, Senior." Lin Leqing stated her request immediately, adding the word "Thanks" at the end as if afraid he would refuse.

"Okay, got it." Chen Jincheng agreed.

When Lin Leqing received her Senior’s message, a happy expression spread across her pretty face.

The proposals from the planning department had data to back them up, but they were far worse than her Senior’s, and the storylines weren’t as good either.

Today, her shoot was at an artsy film studio; the company had rented the location for the day.

After chatting with her Senior, she changed out of her pink outfit and went downstairs with her company colleagues. When she reached the lobby, she suddenly saw a very unexpected girl.

It had been a long time. "Fangfang?" Lin Leqing walked over and asked the girl.

The girl froze for a moment, then her face filled with surprise when she saw Lin Leqing. "Yueqing, it’s really you!"

"Fangfang, I can’t believe I’m seeing you here," Lin Leqing said, her own face a mask of astonishment.

This was her deskmate from high school, the same one who had told her that a certain senior was always peeking at her through the window.

Liu Fangfang was just as surprised. "Yeah, I never got your contact info back then. I was so surprised when I saw you’d become an internet celebrity online. I’m so jealous of you now."

Lin Leqing smiled and said, "Fangfang, I’m the one who’s jealous you got into university. I’ll never have the chance to go to college in this lifetime. If I could do it all over again, I would definitely study hard."

"..." Liu Fangfang really didn’t want to answer that.

’If I could, I’d trade places with her in a heartbeat.’

’A huge internet celebrity... a job where you can make money lying down. What’s the use of being a college student? I’m just worrying about credits and exams all day.’

’Sigh. It’s always the successful ones who say stuff like that.’

’The worst part is, you can’t even argue, because everything she says sounds reasonable.’

Lin Leqing didn’t continue with the topic, either. Instead, she said happily, "Fangfang, do you remember how you used to say there was an upperclassman who would peek at me through the window?"

She was dying to show off about it right now.

That upperclassman was now the most popular internet celebrity on the entire web.

Hearing this, however, Liu Fangfang looked embarrassed. "Yueqing, I really have to apologize to you about that. Actually, that senior was peeking at me. I even got into the same university as him, and now he’s my boyfriend."

"What?" Lin Leqing was completely stunned.

’Didn’t Senior just start Second-Life Star? Didn’t he just sell five billion in merchandise? How could he be in university? How could he be her boyfriend?’

Just then, a young man hurried over to Liu Fangfang’s side. "Babe, I’ve rented the spot. We can go take our anniversary photos now."

Liu Fangfang immediately hugged the young man and said, "Honey, let me introduce you. This is Lin Leqing, my high school deskmate. You peeked at me so many times, you should remember her, right?"

The young man nodded. "I think she wore her hair in two pigtails back then, and she often tied her school jacket around her waist. It seems like she’s an internet celebrity now."

"Yeah, she’s an internet celebrity," Liu Fangfang confirmed with a nod.

Lin Leqing couldn’t remember what she said to the two of them after that..

Her mind was just buzzing. Before, when facing her cousin and Sister Ai, her greatest source of pride was that her Senior was *her* Senior, that he had once peeked at her, that he had liked her.

Moreover, she was the first one to join him. This gave her the right to be angry when either her cousin or Sister Ai ended up in her Senior’s bed.

But now, it turned out her Senior wasn’t *her* Senior at all.

It had all just been one-sided wishful thinking.

’Then what does that make me?’

"No... it’s not like that!" Lin Leqing immediately shook her head.

’He *is* my Senior. Anyway, he hasn’t exposed the lie, so why should I be the one to expose it?’

’Besides, for Senior to trick me like this, he must like me at least a little bit.’

’But last time, all my efforts just ended up benefiting either my cousin or Sister Ai, and I still don’t even know who That Person was.’
