At the start, I tricked the school beauty, and ended up with twins?

"Videos about me on the internet were uploaded by other strangers, I didn't expect it to help you, I'm truly moved."

"I hope you and your boyfriend will also last a long time, it would be best if you could walk together into the hall of love!"

Gu Yu carefully crafted the sentences before sending them off.

Xiao Chuan chuckled, "Thank you senior for your advice! I'm so happy!"

"It's getting late, you should sleep early too, senior! Good night!"

Gu Yu, "Good night!"

After replying to the private message, Gu Yu sighed with relief.

He was just afraid of misspeaking and potentially misleading the other person.

Thinking this, he laughed at himself self-deprecatingly.

He wasn't even a super internet celebrity yet, and he already had the burden of an idol!

He had no idea how those internet celebrities chat so freely and easily with their fans.

It seems this line of work also requires a lot of effort and capability.

He briefly scanned the new comments under the video, meanwhile, a notification about a new video "I'm Waiting Here for You" popped up in the backend.

Only then Gu Yu realized what it's like when you simply can't keep up with the messages.

The private messages didn't take long to exceed 99+.

Most were from students at Haidong University, and some from other schools.

Beyond those, there were various media that had been trying to contact him, but couldn't reach him.

Now that he suddenly appeared online, they started contacting him like crazy.

The most outrageous part was that someone even asked him about the changes in the subjects for this year's graduate entrance examinations at Haidong University.

It's just a promotional account!

Not the graduate admissions office!

In short, as the video's popularity increased, all sorts of messages and comments completely overwhelmed his account.

At this moment, he genuinely admired Yu Xiaochuan, wondering how he managed to handle two accounts at once.

Keep in mind, Yu Xiaochuan's two accounts together had a million fans—just the backend messages alone must be overwhelming, even if no videos were posted!

Having no other choice, Gu Yu stopped checking his private messages.

He also tried sending a message via Fetion to Yu Xiaochuan asking how to manage private messages.

To his surprise, Yu Xiaochuan hadn't gone to sleep yet and responded instantly.

"Oh! Forgot to tell you, there's an intelligent interception in the private message settings, once you turn that on, it will be a lot better!"

"Also, set the interaction notifications for reply messages @ messages so that only those who follow me can do it."

Following Yu Xiaochuan's advice, Gu Yu did as instructed.

Sure enough, his private message backend instantly cleared up a lot, eliminating much of the business cooperation and spam messages.

The terrifying 99+ mentions also disappeared.

Only the fans who followed him were able to perform these operations.

This not only solved the problem of having too many private messages to filter but also helped increase the number of fans rapidly.

The fan count was almost crazily increasing at the rate of one per second.

And the video recommendations kept coming one after another.

The video's popularity kept growing, with more and more views, and the part of the private messages that had been blocked off was quickly replenished with new ones.

Gu Yu was simply unable to reply with just two hands.

In total desperation, he exited the app, as the saying goes, out of sight, out of mind.

If he didn't look, there would be no messages.

Setting his phone aside, Gu Yu decided not to bother for the time being and started eating the barbecue on his desk.

After quickly finishing his meal, he took a hot shower and directly crawled into bed.

It didn't take long for him to fall asleep,

He could sleep, but there was one person who couldn't.

That was Yu Xiaochuan.

After replying to Gu Yu's query, he started contacting some of his friends.

Mostly content creators and some who were involved in the grey market, like heads of Naval Company.

Just like him, these people hardly slept.

The night was their active time.

Yu Xiaochuan made calls and sent voice messages one by one from his contact list, truly tapping into all of his connections this time.

He was determined to maximize the promotional impact of the new game from Ideal Paradise!

"Hey, Chuan, why are you calling me so late? Are you treating me to a barbecue?"

Upon connecting, a half-joking voice responded.

This person was Cai Hui, and his name, sounding like "grey" in Chinese, fittingly described his business—Naval Company.

His main service involved boosting all sorts of data, and if the price was right, he would also attack various celebrities.

However, Cai Hui did have his own principles.

He would never get involved with national heroes, policy decisions, or anything of the sort.

He always investigated the background of the buyer or the target before taking a job.

If the business didn't meet his criteria, he wouldn't take it.

Usually, he dealt with celebrity feuds, fan ranking manipulations, and reputation boosting for companies.

This was also why Yu Xiaochuan got along well with him.

Only someone with principles could be a friend.

If one was unprincipled and ruthless just to make money, becoming friends with such a person would mean you'd never know if you'd be the first one they'd betray.

"You feel like having a late-night snack? If so, let's go! Master Wang's barbecue stand in front of my neighborhood is waiting for you!"

Yu Xiaochuan chuckled.

Cai Hui hurriedly declined, "No, no, no, I was just kidding. It's almost one a.m.; am I still trying to lose weight or what?"Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Hearing this, Yu Xiaochuan smirked.

Cai Hui was a burly man weighing about 170 pounds at a height of 5'7", always talking about losing weight.

But he had never succeeded!

In his belief, eating late at night before midnight wouldn't make you fat, but after midnight, it would!

Yu had no idea where he heard such rumors.

Nevertheless, he always stuck to this belief.

"You lose weight, my ass. I've never seen you slim down," Yu Xiaochuan teased him over the phone.

Cai Hui chuckled, "Hey, I'll slim down eventually. Just tell me, Chuan, what's up calling me so late."

"Is it because you've got a new video coming out? Want me to boost the views and comments to push it up the recommendations?"

Cai Hui's first thought was that Yu Xiaochuan was releasing a new video and worried about getting it recommended, hence the need to boost data.

But Yu Xiaochuan denied it the next second.

"No, I took a job promoting someone else's game and wanted to give you a heads-up to prepare more troops, as I might need your help to cover the net when the time comes."

Yu Xiaochuan was straightforward.

There was silence on the phone for a few seconds, then Cai Hui's tone shifted from humorous to somewhat serious, "I've also been planning to take on a big job recently… I might not have enough troops."

Troops referred to the paid commenters.

Yu Xiaochuan paused, then sighed.

"Well, alright, you take care of your things first."

He couldn't make Cai Hui ignore his other clients on his behalf, could he?

That wasn't something friends should do!

Just as Yu Xiaochuan was about to hang up and call the next person, Cai Hui, who had been silent for half a minute, suddenly spoke up,

"Chuan, I'm going to pass on that other job. But you're covering my late-night snacks for a week!"

Yu Xiaochuan was stunned, then a slow wave of gratitude swept over him.

"Forget a week! I'll cover your breakfast and late-night snacks for a month!"

What are bros for!

Cai Hui was truly a steadfast bro!

"Heh, you know I don't eat breakfast. I suggest just transferring the money."

Cai Hui chuckled mischievously on the phone.

The two chatted a bit more, then hung up.

Yu Xiaochuan leaned back in his computer chair, finally letting out a sigh of relief.

He had done most of the preliminary work, just waiting for Gu Yu to send over the game Tomorrow.
