Chapter 560
Within Wanfa University.
In Ye Xingli's laboratory.
Zhang Yu was invited by his senior sister to participate in her livestream.
Originally Zhang Yu was reluctant to join, but Ye Xingli persuaded him: "Cultivating the immortal path always requires making money. If you want to earn money—whether selling goods, playing with finance, or investing—having a big reputation is always beneficial."
"Starting early to accumulate fans and fame will greatly help your future path of immortal cultivation."
Fuji also urged him: "Zhang Yu, she's right. You're now growing more powerful and have become one of the top 50 in the whole school, but you have very few fans. Your strength and reputation are seriously mismatched."
"If you start accumulating fans now, at the very least you'll have an extra pool of reserve funds available before the Top Ten League."
So Zhang Yu eventually decided to spare a few hours to participate in Ye Xingli's livestream in the laboratory.
The main purpose of this livestream was to promote the Chaotic Soil-Eater Instrument designed by Ye Xingli.
Ye Xingli had already completed forging the specific product, and at the moment she placed a Level 10 Chaotic Soil-Eater Instrument on the lab table for introduction.
However, while introducing it, Ye Xingli also kept her long legs shimmering with starlight exposed in the livestream. According to her, this was to attract lower school students and college students.
"This is my junior brother Zhang Yu, a forging student at Wanfa University, ranked 44th in the entire school."
"Many of the suggestions for the Chaotic Soil-Eater Instrument in my hand came from him."
Zhang Yu scanned the scrolling comments and saw that many fans, upon hearing his ranking, immediately left comments expressing worship, envy, and admiration.
Although most of Ye Xingli's fans were lower school students and college students, it was precisely for this reason that they held the top-tier university students in especially high esteem.
But soon someone commented: This Zhang Yu practices dual cultivation.
"He participated in the Yin Artifact Experiment."
As more and more fans searched the spirit net and found out that Zhang Yu had participated in the Yin Artifact Experiment and made rapid progress through dual cultivation, they left messages in the livestream room one after another.
"Please, after the livestream ends, let Ye Xingli go, okay?"
"No! Don't dual cultivate!"
"Look at Ye Xingli's knee..."
"Which top-tier student is lacking dual cultivation resources? You don't actually think the streamer would forgo dual cultivation and cut off a path to score improvement, do you?"
Ye Xingli watched this scene, a wave of annoyance rising in her heart: "A bunch of low-level lower school students and college students—what's there to fuss about?"
"No wonder they go to college; they can even agonize over this. If you didn't go to college, who would?"
Though irritated inside, after glancing at the text appearing on the Poverty Simulator, Ye Xingli still smiled slightly and said, "Everyone, don't misunderstand. Zhang Yu and I are just a simple senior-junior relationship."
"As for me, I focus on forging technology and have no interest in dual cultivation."
Ye Xingli thought for a moment, then added, "Back when I took the college entrance exam, I could have entered any of the top ten universities. The admissions director of Hehuan University personally came to me that year and said I could choose any major at Hehuan University."
"But to me, forging is a broader world."
Although a disturbance arose in the bullet comments, after Ye Xingli's explanation, the disturbance shrank in scale.
Seeing there were still some people continuing to post comments like "Please release a dual cultivation video" or "I wonder how many magical bodies will be worn out tonight," Ye Xingli maintained her smile on the surface but was seething inside.
"The magical bodies I forge are not that easy to wear out!"
With a slight twitch of her eye, Ye Xingli promptly blocked and banned the few fans who had been posting disorderly comments.
After the livestream ended, Ye Xingli looked at today's orders for the Chaotic Soil-Eater Instrument and felt a little happy: "Sold 102 units? And I didn't even do any traffic-driving today. The sales effect is pretty good."
"Looks like I can consider expanding the promotion."
Zhang Yu, who had been watching from the side, noticed that his social media account had gained some fans from this livestream.
Although he had opened his social media account long ago, Zhang Yu had just set it up casually with almost no management. Most of his followers were students from Wanfa University's Civil Engineering and Forging departments.
Originally he had a few hundred followers; now he was approaching a thousand.
"That's growing so slowly."
Zhang Yu looked at Ye Xingli's sales figures for the day and felt a trace of envy.
"Product promotion really brings in money fast."
But Zhang Yu knew he didn't have the time or energy to work on this, and he also didn't have a fan base like Ye Xingli's. Starting from scratch, who knew how long it would take to reach Ye Xingli's current level?
"How about I just sell the extra design blueprints to Senior Sister?"
Zhang Yu thought back to when he was preparing his competition entries. Besides the Wind God Semi-Legal Skeleton-Type Work Power Boots, there were also the Artificial Feces Maker, College Student Skin, Automatic Ad Watcher, Hemorrhoid Cultivator, and College Student Simulator.
These blueprints would just rot in his hands, so it would be best if he could sell them for money.
Moreover, most companies wouldn't take these blueprints if they weren't targeting the college student market.
And the Ye Xingli in front of him happened to be doing business with college students.
So Zhang Yu proposed this idea and sent the designs one by one for Ye Xingli to look over.
When Ye Xingli saw so many blueprints, she wasn't very interested at first, but after looking at them, her eyes lit up slightly and she praised, "I didn't expect you to have designed so many products during this time?"
"I think they're all quite interesting."
"But whether to buy them, I'll need to discuss with the company. Wait for my news."
Zhang Yu knew that ever since Ye Xingli was selected for the school team and received key cultivation from Wanfa University, her company had been invested in by Wanfa University, which led to all the subsequent investments and training in live streaming.
Not long after, Mo Sha Zhenren received news from Ye Xingli.
