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

Chapter 86: Chapter 85: A Sleepless Night for Yu Xiaochuan

[...]

[At 46: You stole the matchstick girl's tuition, and in her anger, she summoned a nuclear bomb, turning you and the village to ashes.]

[Game over! Restarting——]

Yu Xiaochuan's fingers, which had been tapping on the screen, suddenly halted as he stared in disbelief at the finished game.

This was the fifth round!

In all five rounds, he had never lived to a hundred!

According to the game's official gallery, it seemed possible to reach ages over a hundred, even over a thousand!

But he had played for nearly half an hour, and not only had he not broken past a hundred, living to seventy or eighty was already considered a difficult ending!

Beyond choosing three talents and allocating initial attribute points at the start, there was no other way to change the course of the storyline.

Players could only discover what would happen in the next year by clicking repeatedly.

However, it's worth mentioning that to enhance the gameplay and fun, the designers added mechanisms for talent inheritance and attribute enhancement.

After completing a life simulation, players could choose to inherit a specific talent from the current round to the next, while also increasing the initial distributable attribute points.

The longer one played, the easier it was to develop incredible talents, unlock more story settings, and eventually break the century mark or even unlock plot lines like pursuing cultivation or learning magic.

Of course, these were the outcomes Yu Xiaochuan deduced from the official galleries provided by the game.

That Ideal Paradise Company did not provide a game guide at all, apart from a very brief introduction and nine pictures of the game, there was nothing else!

It almost felt like they were saying, play if you like, otherwise just drop it.

"I refuse to believe I can't unlock the cultivation plot tonight! I want to ascend!"

Yu Xiaochuan glanced at the continuously growing data on his computer, then started his sixth round of the game.

Six hours later...

Day broke.

"Hahahaha, I finally became an Immortal Emperor!"

[At 9999 years: You have become an Immortal Emperor, revered alone among the three thousand cultivation worlds!]

Looking at the golden trophy icon on his phone screen that symbolized the perfect ending, Yu Xiaochuan, with bags under his eyes, was thrilled.

Having fought hard until dawn, he had finally unlocked one of the perfect plots.

"Er, is it morning already?"

Cuddled in his computer chair, Yu Xiaochuan stretched lazily, startled to see the daylight creeping through the gaps in the curtains.

He vigorously rubbed his stiff neck, chuckling softly.

"It's been a long time since I stayed up all night playing a game. This game is really quite interesting, Shengda has finally released a good game for the players this time."

Yu Xiaochuan muttered to himself, a habit he had developed since living alone.

While he had planned to go to bed, he glanced at the continually changing data graph on his computer.

Gu Yu's singing video had reached one and a half million views and was still trending in the recommendations.

The original estimate of two million views might have been an underestimate. It looked like it might hit three million views!

Although he was excited having watched the data graph all night, the initial passion had faded.

After hesitating for a moment, he logged out of his creator account and logged into his blank secondary account.

"Maybe I should give it a try?"

Yu Xiaochuan gazed at the Life Simulator on his phone, which he hadn't exited yet.

He was hesitating whether to start a gaming video account, an idea that had suddenly come to him while playing the Life Simulator the previous night.

Although his main account was doing well, its ability to generate income was indeed limited.

Compared to other top hundred creators, not only did he have the fewest followers, but his ability to monetize was also the weakest.

Moreover, he was unwilling to take on those less reputable, overly commercial advertisements, sticking to his principles for running an entertainment account.

Thus, his follower loyalty was quite commendable, which is why he had managed to become one of the top 100 UPs on Bilibili last year with just over seven hundred thousand followers.

But people need to eat, especially in a place like Modu where earning money is fast but spending it is faster.

He was a full-time self-media professional, bearing the monthly burden of over three thousand in rent alone for a place in the business district with expensive commercial water and electricity rates.

Those were his indispensable basic expenses, besides food and clothing, bringing his monthly living costs to six to seven thousand and above!

Moreover, he operated a channel similar to talent scouting, needing to scout the streets daily for promising individuals to shoot videos, which was yet another significant expense!

His basic monthly outlay was at least over ten thousand!

Finding material wasn't easy, and with shooting and editing, managing to produce a video per week was already an achievement, not to mention there was no guarantee that each one would reach a million views.

Though he could make over ten thousand a month from videos, he still lived paycheck to paycheck!

With less than five digits in savings, he didn't dare to go home for the New Year!

This trip to the Haidong celebration where he captured Gu Yu's singing video was truly a fortuitous windfall, netting him a nice sum!

However, he knew that the profits brought by luck were temporary.

He needed to find another way out, especially now that he was gradually becoming more financially stable, it was time to start another new channel!

Not to mention creating those offensive marketing channels, but at least one with strong monetization potential!

He pondered for a long time but couldn't find the right entry point.

Until today, when he discovered the Life Restart Simulator game, he suddenly realized the potential in gaming!

There were also notable examples on Bilibili like Old Tomato, a fellow top 100 UP with tens of millions in annual income, while he was still fretting about next month's rent!

Of course, he knew that nurturing a new account was very difficult.

But for the sake of livelihood, what isn't difficult?

Yu Xiaochuan was determined, he too wanted a piece of the gaming video industry!

The first video would start with the Life Restart Simulator he currently had.

The game was simple, with high levels of leisure and fun, and it was easy for viewers to understand.

Most importantly, it was incredibly easy to edit!

All he needed to do was keep playing and recording to gather a wealth of material, add some critiques and commentary on the game, and that would be it!

No sooner said than done!

Yu Xiaochuan changed his minor account name to 'Lao Chuan Rates GAME,' and then he began editing videos for the Life Simulator.

After busying himself for two hours, it was already broad daylight.

Yu Xiaochuan looked at the completed vertical video on his computer, tired but satisfied.

He expertly added tags, synced the sections, and then clicked post.

He didn't bother to check the initial data anymore, as this was a minor account and the platform had not yet performed content profiling on this account, expecting the data wouldn't be great.

In the following days, he needed to post one or two videos daily to nurture the account before slowly establishing this new account.

After a yawn, Yu Xiaochuan lay down on the bed behind him without even changing his clothes.

Soon, snores echoed throughout the rental room.

But he didn't know, just half an hour after he released the Life Simulator review video, the previously stagnant backend suddenly became active!

First, it was one comment per minute, then slowly ten comments per minute!

The views increased from a dozen to several dozen, then doubled to hundreds, the backend's data graph near-vertical!

[Congratulations! Your submitted video "Life Restart..." has received new user traffic support recommendations!]

...

The asleep Yu Xiaochuan turned over, dreaming that he had struck it rich!
