Chapter 376: Utterly dumbfounded!
It's unprecedented for 650 million people to watch the same scene live.
However, everyone who heard Chen Jincheng say, "The empire I built for you," wholeheartedly agreed.
Wasn't Jinglan City built up step by step by Chen Jincheng through promotion?
That's absolutely right.
In fact, there were many tourists watching the live stream from Jinglan City, so when the night view of the ancient city appeared, a lively discussion quickly emerged in the live stream:
"Haha, I'm the one wearing pink Hanfu, dancing!"
"I zoomed in and saw myself; I was making a heart shape with my hands."
"Haha, they're filming us from above, and we're filming them from above."
"See that handsome guy over there on the bridge? That's me."
"..."
Along with these comments came a series of screenshots.
Those screenshots were taken by people who zoomed in on the live stream and discovered their own screenshots.
Although it's blurry, the person in the photo will definitely recognize it.
This quickly became a trend.
As more and more people appeared in the live stream, they came to the live stream room, found their own positions, and sent screenshots.
This behavior even quickly became a hot topic due to the promotion and hype from the video editing group.
The title is: "Searching for Myself in the Scenery of the Ancient City".
This attracted a lot of attention and sparked heated discussions.
Because it is indeed an interesting thing.
Some eloquent readers have even compared the ancient city in Chen Jincheng's live stream to a scroll painting like "Along the River During the Qingming Festival," with those who took screenshots being a vibrant part of that painting.
Chen Jincheng watched the lively atmosphere in the live stream and never expected it to create such an unexpected effect.
At this time.
Sister Hong arrived with two people: an old man and a spirited young woman dressed in Hanfu, holding a sword.
His eyes lit up when he saw the girl wielding the sword; it was Xiao Yu!
Sister Hong introduced: "Boss, this is Master Hu Xiaoyue from the National Martial Arts Association, and this is Xiaoyu. You told her to sign a contract as soon as she came over, and I have already signed the contract with her."
"Mr. Chen, it's a pleasure to meet you. Your sword dance and kicking sword really impressed us old folks." Hu Xiaoyue greeted Chen Jincheng with a face full of admiration.
This respect for him comes from the bottom of his heart.
In terms of the inheritance of swordsmanship in China, there is really no one who can compare with this young man in front of us.
The key point is that the opponent is also very popular, so his sword dance and kicking sword videos have brought a lot of attention to swordsmanship in China, which is of great significance to the inheritance of swordsmanship.
Of course, what impressed these old guys even more was that he promoted not only swordsmanship, but also any traditional craft.
While the younger generation in China is turning their backs on these ancient things and pursuing high-tech and novelty, this young man has discovered the beauty of these ancient things and is bringing them to life, making them acceptable to everyone in his own way.
These old guys claim to be passing on swordsmanship, but after a lifetime of work, they haven't achieved the same results as others who have done it in such a short time.
Chen Jincheng warmly shook hands with the master, saying, "Master Hu, it's not as exaggerated as you say."
He hadn't expected the other party to come today.
He held these senior figures in high esteem.
There are many elderly people in China who are dedicated to preserving and passing on traditional skills, and they all deserve our respect.
If it weren't for the persistence of the older generation, many ancient traditional skills might have been lost.
Hu Xiaoyue didn't forget his granddaughter, introducing her as follows: "Mr. Chen, this is my granddaughter, Xiaoyu. She has been learning martial arts since elementary school and is a national sword performance champion. You can ask her to help you shoot videos in the future."
He knew how good this young man was at making videos and marketing; almost every video he made would go viral.
Therefore, by entrusting his granddaughter to the other party, filming videos in this area can not only promote the inheritance of swordsmanship, but also allow his granddaughter to develop her career as a martial arts influencer, and earn a lot of appearance fees when she goes out to perform.
This is killing two birds with one stone.
Chen Jincheng also looked at Xiao Yu.
Because she practices martial arts, she has a very good figure.
Long legs, slim waist, the standard figure of a beautiful woman.
Although her looks aren't particularly stunning, her long-term martial arts training has given her a unique heroic spirit, a rare quality.
He glanced at Yinyin, who was also wearing Hanfu next to him.
Comparing the two girls, it's immediately obvious that Yinyin is a courtesan from a brothel, while Xiaoyu is a female knight-errant from the martial arts world.
This feeling is very clear.
"Hello, boss." Hu Xiaoyu greeted him immediately with a hint of shyness; she was actually a fan of this new boss as well.
The opponent's swordsmanship is too impressive.
And he's handsome too.
Just like what's said online, apart from being a womanizer, he's really good in every other way.
"I'll do a sword dance and film you as a greeting gift," Chen Jincheng said to the girl before walking over to his live-streaming phone.
at this time.
The most exciting part of the live stream has passed, and the number of viewers in the live stream has started to decline, dropping by more than 100 million.
However, for other online celebrities, the remaining 500 million people is still a terrifying number of online viewers.
He also said to the live stream audience, "Let me introduce you to a very talented girl. Her sword dance is just as good as mine."
As he spoke, he also pointed the live stream camera at Xiaoyuza.
At the same time, he also took out his own mobile phone, ready to film a sword dance video for Xiaoyu.
Hu Xiaoyu heard what Chen Jincheng said to the live stream, which made her feel a little embarrassed.
Her sword dance was nowhere near as good as her opponent's.
However, she was still looking forward to it when she heard that the other party was going to make her a video as a gift.
After all, it's rumored that he's very good at making videos, and every video he makes goes viral.
Although some people online say that his videos aren't as amazing as people say, and that it's just a matter of survivorship error—only the ones that go viral get noticed, and who knows how many others don't? But now we have the chance to see for ourselves.
At this moment, the viewers in the live stream were also looking at Xiaoyu in surprise.
No one expected that there would be a final girl as the last performer.
Moreover, this girl is not any of the previous Cheng Girls.
Is this a new Cheng Girl?
Otherwise, why would it be placed at the end of this time?
"This girl doesn't seem particularly stunning at first glance, but she's actually quite attractive over time!"
"Yeah, after watching for a while, I think this girl is really nice."
"..."
While the viewers in the live stream were discussing, Hu Xiaoyu had already walked in front of the camera and then suddenly drew his long sword.
The clean and efficient movements surprised the viewers in the live stream.
That's a really impressive move.
Next, Hu Xiaoyu also began to perform a sword dance, and then started to show off her sword dance in front of the camera. Really, a girl wearing Hanfu and performing a sword dance, as long as the sword dance is good, is definitely a very enjoyable thing.
In particular, the longsword caused the sleeves and skirt to flutter, which was very pleasing to the eye.
Chen Jincheng nodded in agreement.
This girl is beautiful when it comes to sword dancing; she's truly skilled.
The viewers in the live stream were quickly surprised. Beautiful things are universally appreciated, and it seemed everyone understood why Chen Jincheng had said this girl's sword dance was no worse than his.
Technically, this girl is definitely no match for Chen Jincheng, nor does she possess Chen Jincheng's elegant and sharp sword-wielding skills.
But this girl's sword dance is superior in its gentleness and beauty, which are two different extremes.
Of course, technically she can't compare to Chen Jincheng, but compared to the current female internet celebrities, she is definitely several levels above them. There are very few female internet celebrities with real skills on the entire internet now.
With the approval of the viewers in the live stream, Hu Xiaoyu's sword dance came to an end with the final strike.
Chen Jincheng smiled and clapped, while also finding a video he had taken of the girl and adding ancient-style music to it and editing it.
After adding the girl on WeChat, I sent her this video: "Upload this video to your account."
At the same time, he also used a celebrity initial exhibition card for the other party.
He still has more than 30 of these cards, and the daily tasks will trigger a reward probability every now and then.
I didn't specifically seek out those former internet celebrities to use it; I simply couldn't use it all.
Xiao Yu became famous too late in her previous life, completely missing the opportune moment. Therefore, she doesn't have any videos with outstanding data, except for one sword dance video that seems to have nearly a million views.
This is enough.
A single "Introduction Card" from an internet celebrity can give her first two videos the same level of popularity as in her previous life; her sword dance video, for example, garnered nearly a million likes.
Of course, this is just a safety net.
She's performing a sword dance in front of 500 million people and has received approval from viewers in the live stream. These viewers aren't just there for show; many of them will give her likes. With their help in boosting her viewership, gaining another 200 million likes shouldn't be a problem.
In addition, the current popularity of Jinglan City, coupled with the popularity of the video that Chen Jincheng specially made for her, will generate a lot of attention.
With all these factors combined, it wouldn't be a problem for her video to get over 500 million likes.
Upon hearing his words, Hu Xiaoyu naturally complied and uploaded the video.
At that moment, Chen Jincheng also received a notification from the game system that the Internet celebrity initial display card had been activated and the popularity had begun to be distributed.
When Chen Jincheng went up to chat with the viewers in the live stream for a bit and then ended the broadcast, Yinyin, who was waiting on the side, immediately came up and hugged his arm, looking at him with watery eyes, as if reminding him that he had promised to go to her place that night and couldn't break his promise, and that he shouldn't change his mind if he saw a new girl.
Chen Jincheng understood the meaning behind the girl's gaze and was speechless. Was he that kind of person?
Seeing the giant pendulum swing that Yinyin couldn't hide under her Hanfu, I was also a little eager to try it out.
This is the first time Yinyin has played this game dressed in such an elegant Hanfu.
"Master Hu, I have something to attend to, so I'll be leaving now." Chen Jincheng said to Hu Xiaoyue with a smile, and then left with Yinyin.
After Chen Jincheng left, Hu Xiaoyu couldn't wait to watch the video he had just posted, and then she exclaimed, "Wow, that's amazing!"
"What's wrong?" Hu Xiaoyue asked his granddaughter, puzzled.
Hu Xiaoyu said with a look of shock, "That video just now has more than 2 likes and 25 views, which means that 25 people have seen it. He is indeed as amazing as the rumors say."
"25 people watched in just a few minutes?" Hu Xiaoyue was also shocked.
Their martial arts association has put in a lot of effort to promote various national martial arts, and has even held many related competitions, but not many people watch each competition.
He immediately said to his granddaughter, "Xiaoyu, you must stay by his side and learn well. Do whatever he asks you to do!"
“But he seems to be a womanizer. What if… in case…” Hu Xiaoyu said softly.
Hu Xiaoyue was taken aback by these words, and after a moment he said, "That's your business."
"..." Hu Xiaoyu.
...
Chen Jincheng first led Yinyin into a resting place in the main hall.
"Boss, it's a bit hot in here." During a break, Yinyin suddenly pulled down her white gauze dress, revealing her fair shoulders.
Chen Jincheng wanted to complain.
It's so hot! Don't they know what time it is? In a few days, we might even need to wear jackets.
However, her Hanfu, with its silk gauze, was already somewhat overwhelmed by the sensual allure of her giant swing ride, and now this was simply unfair, designed to make people make mistakes.
"Stop acting all horny here. Go to your place. Now I'm getting really horny about you." Chen Jincheng stood up speechlessly. The worst part was that Li Suwan, the young female teacher, was waiting for him that night.
I need to get to know Yinyin as soon as possible, then find an excuse to leave her place, which will give me more time to recover.
The young female teacher has come all this way, so we need to make sure she experiences something intense.
"Boss, then you're going to beat me to death tonight." Yinyin got up with a smile, hugged his arm, and walked towards the city gate together.
Chen Jincheng also sent a message to Sister Hong, leaving the rest to her to finish up. So, not long after, he appeared at Yinyin's residence, and in an instant, his Hanfu fluttered in the wind.
Seriously, taking off Hanfu is more troublesome than wearing regular clothes, but it has a unique kind of fun.
After a self-disciplined exchange, he lit a cigarette with satisfaction.
Yinyin's service to her darling is truly something you'll never tire of.
He took a drag of his cigarette and asked, "So, what is it? Don't you have something very important to say?"
Upon hearing this, Yinyin looked at him shyly and asked, "Boss, could you give me a child?"
"???" Chen Jincheng was taken aback at first, then his brows furrowed slightly. He knew what it meant, but he really hadn't thought about this question.
When Yinyin saw him frown, she quickly said, "Boss, I'm not talking about now. I'm still young now, so of course I'll use my beauty to serve you. I'm talking about when I'm no longer young, like when I'm in my thirties. You'll definitely have new little vixens around you, maybe even older ones than me."
"I don't want to get married in this lifetime, nor do I want to be with anyone else, so, boss, could you... I'm willing to sign an agreement... I won't fight for anything..."
Chen Jincheng hadn't thought about that; he was used to his freedom.
But this is something we have to consider. Just because we don't want to get married doesn't mean we have to donate our family fortune to others in the future, right?
Therefore, some things need to be considered. He didn't explicitly refuse, only saying, "We'll talk about it later!"
Even with this answer, Yinyin seemed quite satisfied and happily kissed him on the cheek.
At least he didn't explicitly refuse.
Just then, the doorbell rang.
Yinyin immediately got up and wrapped herself in the Hanfu: "Ximeng must have arrived."
"What? You called her too?" Chen Jincheng was stunned and subconsciously rubbed his lower back.
“We’re best friends, it’s not like it’s the first time, don’t you like this?” Yin Yin’s playful voice rang out.
Chen Jincheng was stunned. It's good to like someone, but we need to consider the situation.
He had other battlefields to fight at night.
But soon, Ximeng rushed over: "Boss, I love you to death, hurry up and beat me up!"
After an unknown amount of time, Chen Jincheng broke free from Yinyin and drove to the hotel where Li Suwan had posted her message.
Inside the car, he took a deep breath and suddenly missed the days when he could use his physique points.
Fortunately, I made an excuse and got away early.
Not long after, he arrived at the hotel and went straight upstairs to the room number Li Suwan had given him. But before he could even knock, he was shocked to see the door of the room next door open, and a beautiful girl walked out, much to his astonishment.
"Mr. Chen, it seems you're quite quick. You found out I live here so fast." Meng Ziyi looked at him with some surprise. "Is that right? It can't be a coincidence that I live here and you're coming here too, can it?"
Chen Jincheng said in astonishment, "What if I said it was really such a coincidence?"
"Hmph!" Meng Ziyi gave a coquettish laugh and stepped forward to take his arm. "Do you think I believe you? In Jinglan City, I thought you didn't understand what I meant, but it turns out you were just pretending. Looks like I won't be going out shopping."
"Damn it..." Chen Jincheng was about to speak when his phone rang. It was the young female teacher calling.
He answered the phone immediately, and the young female teacher's voice came through: "Student Chen, why haven't you arrived yet?"
"Open the door," Chen Jincheng said to the door. A moment later, Meng Ziyi stared blankly at the open door and Li Suwan.
Li Suwan also saw Meng Ziyi, who was holding Chen Jincheng's arm.
She immediately became angry: "Chen, you've gone too far! I can't accept this kind of thing. At least you should have told me beforehand so I could have time to prepare myself!"
"???" Meng Ziyi was completely dumbfounded.
