Chapter 5: Only Saving Those With Yuan

After pondering hard for a while, he still had no direction; pulling out a few strands of hair didn't help much, only making him even less clear-headed.

The idea of a chat app didn't last long in his mind before being successfully filtered out; it wasn't that it couldn't be tested, but it didn't fit his primary thought.

Since he was starting with advertisements, the more exaggerated the better, and it had to show results immediately; the scope could be appropriately narrowed to reduce search time.

Alright, still no leads; in that case, let fate decide, just search for keywords.

"What software can make money immediately?"

The search results appeared quickly; the top entries were several eye-catching ads, but their exaggeration wasn't high, and the time required was at least a day; expecting immediate results was clearly a pipe dream...

"Huh? Is this thing a conscience-made custom product?" Just as he was irritably swiping the screen looking for a suitable ad, an extremely simple software and its slogan successfully caught his eye; though he couldn't be entirely sure if it truly possessed any special ability, it happened to perfectly compensate for his failure to find an ad, as if tailor-made for him; truly, when one feels sleepy, a pillow is delivered right on time—perfect timing!

"Earn money by watching ads."

The software name was crystal clear; it was simply an ad-watching app, and the introduction was equally straightforward.

"One ad is one revenue; move your fingers to gather funds; let us set sail for it; together, let us possess a heart born for ads; ah, join us; the big family awaits your arrival!"

Alright, even though it seemed like a chuunibyou person was speaking, it perfectly matched the selection criteria; that was beyond doubt; as for whether the interior would be exaggerated, there was no need to overthink it; such a "conscience" app would obviously accept more ads, with information even more explosive, disregarding whether it might infect the phone with a virus; he decisively chose to download it; since this app solved the problem for him, a patient with choice paralysis, he must support it, and it would also verify his idea.

With a "Ding!" sound, the app was instantly downloaded; its memory footprint was extremely tiny, even smaller than a chat app; if it were anyone else, they probably wouldn't even choose to install it, but would decisively delete and clean it up; because such a small app was inevitably linked to ads; didn't they see that Lan Yue could be easily downloaded? What difference was there between that and this? Ultimately, it was just ads plus a virus, very harmful indeed.

The boy thought otherwise; what he wanted was exactly these unreliable things to help conduct this experiment; after all, given the situations of the previous two times, although he remained skeptical, nothing could stop his steps of inquiry; he was in a state of refusing to give up until reaching the Yellow River.

He tapped the "Continue Installation" button on the screen and waited quietly, wanting to get the answer he desired at the very first moment, so he could then adjust his unsettled heart; it was like opening a blind box, thrilling and tense.

The installation was very quick; after it finished, a game popping up a single SSR pull appeared at the right moment; unfortunately, the attraction wasn't high, so he simply clicked the X.

The phone manager also joined the fun, prompting that this was a high-risk app and continued use might bring uncontrollable costs to the phone.

On the left was a dim gray "Ignore Risk and Continue," and on the right was a bright red "Uninstall Immediately"; if the left occupied one-third of the middle screen, the rest was classified under uninstall; if his hand were truly fast, he might have deleted it; unfortunately, the boy, familiar with these old tricks, already knew clearly; he calmly tapped the ignore button; from this moment on, finally, he could begin exploring the unknown mysteries of the ability!

The ad app opened successfully.

The first thing that met his eyes was a series of down-to-earth ad banners, featuring various divine medical theories and hundred-herb wonderful arguments, covering everything, giving a feeling of dazzling variety; if one didn't look closely, one might actually believe them, because the ads here not only exaggerated but also cited obscure and difficult-to-understand ancient texts as evidence, making the imitation of reality extremely well-done; one could truly call this boss the ancestor of the advertising world; he was simply too good at marketing.

Although he didn't understand why it could lie in such a distant place without being deeply dug up by people, he knew deeply that gold will always shine; soon people would like (or denounce) this behavior, so it was better to make big money quietly to avoid attracting trouble.

"Which one to enter first?" The boy put down his phone, rubbed his hands together; it was really too unbearable; if he didn't conduct the experiment soon, he was truly worried he would go crazy; he had been holding back, and the closer it got, the stronger the tension became; he couldn't care about the previous ease; both palms were oily; that was the collision of expectation and hope, making the whole person nervous; luckily, the school didn't allow boys to grow long hair, otherwise his name would surely be added to the number one spot of "Sadako."

"Want to become an esports player? Want to be the grandmaster who controls the whole situation? Want to achieve the desired results with your own hands? Come, join us! Three days, only three days, a versatile esports player can be born right then; if you believe in us, call this number; we welcome your joining at any time, 143XXXXXXXX."

"Have you ever seen a hater? Yes, I am one; still troubled by not being able to argue back against others? Still struggling with the inability to communicate correctly with the opponent? Professor Guotai is imparting the knowledge you need; tuition is not eighty-eight thousand, nor sixty-six thousand, only one hundred and seventy thousand; yes, you heard right; with such little funds, you can get the professor's full teaching; why not sign up now? I'm talking to you; hurry up and move your little hands to come watch the professor's style; absolutely guaranteed to teach and guarantee to learn!"

"In ancient times, Shennong tasted a hundred herbs; today, a divine doctor asks the world; after eight thousand years, how many old predecessors have fallen, working hard to provide shade for future generations; but people nowadays actually ignore this solemn medical inheritance; by resolution, several hundred or even a thousand medical North Stars will leave their supreme arts behind, only hoping to find the destined person they should meet; as their descendant, I am very proud; therefore, I will give away the teaching videos for free here; I hope the junior brothers and sisters who learn will not forget their original intention and still follow the obligations they should fulfill; thank you all."

No more joking; the boy's gaze remained fixed on the app inside the phone; the proportion of one ad banner was not as insignificant as the memory; it occupied a huge chunk of the screen; if he didn't move, he might only see this one ad introduction from start to finish; indeed, those who pay money are just different.

Why say that? It was because there was a line of small text reminding... Alright, actually, even without reading the small text, one could guess; after all, if you haven't spent money, unless you are really attractive, how could you get on the banner? Money, although once called wasteland, could not hide its solid status and value; this point was naturally beyond doubt; so buying traffic was just an ordinary, very common thing, nothing worth continuing to struggle over.

Ignoring these twists and turns, he swiped down; the first one obviously wasn't suitable as a so-called experimental subject; better to swipe away quickly, otherwise he might doubt life itself.

Even though they spoke sky-high, one couldn't truly believe it; what if the experiment failed and debt was incurred? That would be a complete tragedy.

What about becoming a versatile esports player in three days? Normal people probably wouldn't believe it; if he wasn't looking for ads, he wouldn't have downloaded such an app surrounded by ads everywhere; it was just a pity that so far there was nothing that could truly hit the nail on the head and show immediate results.

The second ad was also swiped away immediately after one look; they could treat people as fools and still speak so plausibly; a deep admiration was sent, then he didn't want to pay any more attention and continued searching.

When the third one arrived, to be honest, he felt his blood boiling, and their sincerity was fully demonstrated; it was free! Even though he knew there was no such thing as a free lunch, his hand still clicked as if possessed by a ghost; now it was time for dinner, so a free dinner didn't seem impossible, hehe!

Huh? Looking at the screen he clicked into, he seemed to realize just then; damn it, he had fallen into a trap.

On the screen, with red font on a white background, more than ten characters and a string of numbers were clearly written; precisely because of this, he actually had the thought of giving up...

【Hello, dear user, this video has entered the paid zone; if you wish to purchase, please pay 10 million Guang coins.】

Then the screen jumped to the login interface; it turned out he hadn't logged in and entered information yet; even so, the high fee just now was a bit disorienting; it took a long time to react, and he exited everything.

Before encountering a suitable ad, he didn't plan to log in, to avoid the situation where this side wasn't finished and the other side was leaked.

Although he didn't know how Lan Yue knew his information before, a certain caution was necessary; although I actively invited the virus in, my heart is still in the light; so the two do not conflict.
