“Puffs, chocolates… Get a bit of both.”
“Do you want chips?”
Xu Zhaoyang and the guys turned into drunk, submissive puppies in the supermarket.
However, women were the undisputed champions when it came to shopping. Soon after that, Liu Xin and the girls led the group. Although they did not buy much, they window shopped in satisfaction while leading the group.
Xu Zhaoyang and the guys followed. When it came to the aisle for women’s items, they were too embarrassed to continue walking behind the girls so the group split up temporarily.
The animals continued walking around nearby and stole glances at the girls. They seemed frivolous.
“If you want to go there, just do it. Stop staring creepily, you’re making us look like stalkers. Can’t you see how people are staring at us?”
Lin Yu could no longer tolerate the actions of the drunk guys.
He had been chatting with Zhao Xiaolu outside the room and did not think about flirting at all after having his intelligence insulted by her. That was why he was the only one sober among the guys.
1The drunkards did not even realize what they were doing, but he could see it clearly; they were near the women’s items aisle that was populated by female shoppers who were staring at the guys like they were looking at idiots.
“Who’s staring? Third Brother, how could you accuse us of something like that?”
“Who said I want to go over? I just wanted to know when they’ll be done with the aisle.”
The guys tried defending themselves but quickly stopped after getting stares from Lin Yu.
“Let’s find a place to wait.”
Xu Zhaoyang butted in the conversation. Thankfully, there were benches for men near the clothes section. He approached one and sat down.
The guys took their seats and realized that shopping took a lot of energy out of them. They began chatting with each other while playing with their phones.
“F*ck, your followers’ count is increasing way too quickly. Didn’t you have under 200,000 followers before this?”
After some time, Xu Zhaoyang began complaining to Lin Yu.
It turned out that Xu Zhaoyang was checking the followers’ count of his ‘competitor’ on his phone. Lin Yu’s followers’ count had surpassed 200,000 from the time they were having dinner to this moment.
He checked his own and found that he only had 130,800 followers.
In the short term, it seemed impossible for him to surpass Lin Yu’s numbers.
He knew what he was capable of after doing this for some time. LoL videos were a niche on B site and the game itself lacked breakthroughs so its popularity could only be accumulated over time. It was rare to gain a few thousand followers from one video, and the idea of increasing one’s followers count by tens of thousands from one video was wishful thinking.
“What’s the use of 200,000? Didn’t they say that a mysterious person will contact you for advertisements if you achieve 100,000 followers? No one has contacted me until now. I’m so poor I might have to start eating dirt.”
Lin Yu became a little depressed after what Xu Zhaoyang said.
Xu Zhaoyang had people approaching him for advertisements when he reached 100,000 followers. He started shooting videos that he could earn money from and earned thousands from them, becoming a way for him to transform his B site channel. However, Lin Yu had yet to have any advertisers approach him.
Was the advertising potential of uploaders who did crafts that poor? Even vlogs had ads played in them, so why could it not be the same for craft videos? If there was enough payment, it was possible to remake the merchandise of games or anime too!
Feeling sad, Lin Yu had to complain about it.
“Don’t worry. Whatever the milk gets to have, the bread will get it too.”
After hearing Lin Yu’s words, Xu Zhaoyang felt better about himself and patted Lin Yu’s back instead.
“Eh? The Card Master? Elder Brother, click on the video.”
Just as the both of them were talking, Sixth Brother Feng Hai came over and glanced at Xu Zhaoyang’s phone. He saw one of the videos and became interested in it.
“Yo, no wonder his followers’ count is increasing so fast. He has a new video. Let’s check it out.”
Xu Zhaoyang looked at his phone and became interested in the video as well. The video began playing, and Zhou Jie, Zheng Wei, as well as the others came over to watch.
The video was the one about cards that Lin Yu had shot for his father. After the boring first half of the video…
“F*ck!”
“Are those poker cards? They look like they’re as strong as bullets!”
“Is this a person? Is this the real Cards Master? Third Brother, where did you find such a person?”
Xu Zhaoyang, Zhou Jie, and the others kept exclaiming “f*ck” to one after another.
Feng Hai’s eyes lit up. “Third Brother, who is this? Do you know him?”
“My father.”
Lin Yu smiled.
“Your father?”
Xu Zhaoyang and the guys were shocked. The pitch of their voices heightened.
Feng Hai’s eyes became even brighter. “I can’t believe your father is so awesome. Do you know it too? Please take me in as a student, master!”
Feng Hai used to be into card-throwing, which was a high-level skill, for some time. At the time, he played the Card Master while playing LoL. To practice card-throwing, he had wasted multiple poker decks while throwing them at his room door and could probably still find scattered cards in the corners of his bed, under his cabinet, and so on.
However, he was not into it for long and dropped the idea after practicing for some time. Nonetheless, after seeing Lin Jin’s lethal card-throwing abilities today, he was now interested in it again.
“No, I don’t know it.”
Lin Yu smiled helplessly. “My father was just messing around, and he doesn’t really have skills. He relied on his talent and practice to do this. I can’t even pick it up from him so how could I teach you?”
“Huh?”
Feng Hai was disappointed and became silent.
He had practiced himself and watched quite a few tutorial videos. As such, he knew that card-throwing could not be passed on and relied more on one’s instincts. It was similar to how one should have instincts when it came to shooting games.
He was only talking about it in brief excitement. If he was serious about it, he would not have given up on it. That was the norm for many people.
Feng Hai stopped talking about it and Lin Yu went on to chat with the others.
“Ah!”
“There’s a thief!”
“Someone’s beating people up!”
The guys were talking about spending the night at the cyber café after sending the girls back when a commotion erupted not far from them.
“What’s going on?”
The women around him screamed, and the screams sobered up Xu Zhaoyang and the others as they stood up right away.
The screams and commotion came from where Liu Xin and the girls were!
“Puffs, chocolates… Get a bit of both.”
“Do you want chips?”
