“Mom, we’re leaving!”

“Take care!”

The next day, at 7:30 A.M., after a “sumptuous” breakfast, the Chen siblings left for school together.

Chen Yu carried Chen Sanke’s school bag in his left hand, Chen Erke’s school bag in his right, Chen Yike’s school bag in front of his chest, and his own on his back…. He looked like a living hanging rack that was leading the three little girls.

Following the usual route, it only took them about five minutes to arrive at a kindergarten.

The group stopped in their tracks. “Listen to the teacher and have fun. Take care and stay safe.” Chen Yu pa.s.sed Chen Sanke the bag in his left hand.

“Aye!” Chen Sanke took the bag and nodded seriously. She carried her bag and waddled into the school. Her steps were slightly unsteady.

“Let’s go!” Chen Yu commanded, pointing to the front, and resumed his job of leading the way.

About eight minutes later, they arrived at a primary school. Chen Yu pa.s.sed Chen Erke the bag in his right hand.

“Second Eldest, listen in cla.s.s and don’t daydream. If anybody bullies you, tell me.”

“Okay.” Chen Erke took her bag and trotted into the school. Within no time, she was out of sight.

“Let’s go!”

A few minutes later. Chen Yu and Chen Yike arrived at a middle school.

Chen Yu removed the bag on his chest and threw it to Chen Yike. “Listen up, no dating! Or I’ll break your leg!” And that was all he said.

Chen Yike: “…”

Chen Yike took the bag silently. Flushing red, Chen Yike kicked Chen Yu in his legs firmly!

Bang!

“Ah!”

Chen Yu crouched on the ground slowly, grabbing his leg in pain.

…

After sending off his sisters, Chen Yu made a turn and walked along the streets, pa.s.sing four traffic lights. He soon arrived at his school, Jinzhou District Sixth High School.

It was a peculiar school that was well known across the entire province.

It was said that top-tier schools focused on results, second-tier schools focused on discipline, and third-tier schools focused on hygiene.

However, Sixth High did not focus on anything.

Instead, Sixth High took an approach that was similar to university life; as long as it wasn’t fighting, the school would close an eye to anything the student did.

Entering the cla.s.sroom blocks, Chen Yu came to Cla.s.s 2-2. He was welcomed by his cla.s.smates, who were “partying.”

There were students snacking, flirting around, reading comics, boasting around…. All of his cla.s.smates were doing almost everything except for studying.

“Hah… A group of bad students who are engrossed with having fun. What a disgrace.” Chen Yu curled his lips, secretly looking at his cla.s.smate’s degenerate actions in contempt. He walked along the side of the cla.s.sroom to the last row and sat down on his seat, then began reading R18 novels…

It was now 8:12 A.M., about 40 minutes until the release of his video.

After scrolling through Bilibili for a while, there was nothing that caught his eyes. Chen Yu rolled two paper b.a.l.l.s and stuffed them in his ears. He then rested his head on the table, ready to take a nap before cla.s.s.

He did not have a good sleep yesterday night. The excitement of earning a sum and the b.u.t.terflies in his stomach due to the fact that his video would be uploaded today at 9.A.M had him half-awake the entire night.

The dreams he had were weird too.

Becoming the head of state…

Turning into a prisoner…

Being dissected by a group of people in white robes…

Being a.s.sa.s.sinated by people from the future…

Causing an explosion during unboxings…

In summary, he couldn’t sleep well and was feeling fearful for reasons unknown even to himself.

Chen Yu thought that, in school, which was crowded with people, he would have a sense of security and be able to sleep well. However, as soon as he drifted off to dreamland, a smack on his back woke him up.

“Brother Chen! You got yourself some new shoes?”

He looked up with bleary eyes to realize that it was the bald teenager sitting right in front of him who woke him up.

“Bald Li! Are you crazy?”

“This is not the time to sleep! What are you supposed to do if you can’t sleep during cla.s.s later on?”

“Get lost, get lost!” Chen Yu waved his hand in annoyance. He rested his head on the table once again and turned away.

Bald Li’s real name was Li Liang. As he started balding since young, he decided to just shave his head to avoid getting mocked, which eventually gained him the nickname of “Bald Li.”

Due to the two of them being seated close to each other, Chen Yu and Li Liang frequently interacted with each other. In school, Li Liang could be considered one of Chen Yu’s close friends.

“Hey! Wake Up! Brother Chen, did you get these shoes online? Why are they so dope? Are they a new model? How much did they cost?”

Not even looking up, Chen Yu stretched out two fingers slowly.

“Two thousand?” Li Liang gasped.

“Nah, two words: get lost!”

“Big Brother Chen, why are you so cold to me today?” Li Liang complained like a girl.

In response to Li Liang’s words, Chen Yu pulled out a broken chair leg with nails from his table…

“Do-Don’t fool around! Sleep! Sleep as much as you want!”

…

When Chen Yu woke up, cla.s.s had already started.

His form teacher, who had a hunched back, was standing at the lectern, teaching as he scribbled on the blackboard with his chalk. None of the man’s words were alien to Chen Yu, but when they were joined together, he couldn’t understand anything.

Chen Yu’s math foundation was so weak that he could not understand high school mathematics even a tad.

“Oh yeah!”

While trying to make sense of the “gibberish” that his teacher was saying, Chen Yu suddenly smacked his head. He then took out his phone immediately, setting it to silent mode before opening up Bilibili and refreshing the technology section like a madman.

It was long past 9 A.M. by now, so his review video should’ve been posted already. He was eager to check out the feedback for his video.

But as time trickled past, his video had yet to appear on his homepage despite him refreshing till his hands were sore.

He didn’t want to search up any related keywords in the search bar, as it would expose his ident.i.ty.

No stranger would search for a new uploader’s video unless it contained words that were trending. Only the newbie himself or someone who they knew personally would do so.

To keep his ident.i.ty a total secret, Chen Yu could only refresh his homepage continuously if he wished to locate his video.

“Or did it not go through the audit?”

After persevering for another five minutes, Chen Yu exited Bilibili, opened up WeChat, and typed an inquiry.

[Chen Yu: “My video should have been posted. Is there a chance that it failed to pa.s.s the audit?”

[Transdimensional Marketing: “No. We pay attention to your video constantly, thus we would resolve any problems for you. This includes the audit, copyright, and many more, even problems like blacklisting.”]

[Chen Yu: “I have a question. Since you can edit, upload the videos automatically, and even have control over my channel, why don’t you just promote my videos yourself?”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “According to Article 17 of the Earth Alliance’s s.p.a.cetime Anti-Monopoly Law, any business activities that involve other s.p.a.cetimes must involve a natural citizen with perfect civic rights of that s.p.a.cetime. He or she must also be given at least 51% of the profits. Note: Fame and promotion revenue generated from the advertis.e.m.e.nt are not included in the calculation of the actual revenue.”]

[Chen Yu: “Then where’s my 51% of the profits?”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “You have donated them to charity.”]

[Chen Yu: “…”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “Do you have any other questions, Mr. Chen?”]

[Chen Yu: “How’s my video doing? How many views are there?”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “Currently, your video has 48 views on Bilibili.”]

[Chen Yu: “That’s so few! Is it doomed?”]

[Transdimensional Marketing: “Bilibili’s promotion mechanism is separated into shares > comments > saves > bullet comments > views. Since you weren’t promoted by the editor of Bilibili, the number of views is still considered acceptable.”]

[Chen Yu: “Then I’m at ease.”]

Chen Yu exited WeChat and opened up Bilibili once again. He settled into a comfortable position and started scrolling up and down, up and down, up and down with his right hand….
