Chapter 59: Scenery Studio

How could that possibly work? What do you mean?

Just as he was puzzled, another message from Fang Yue arrived.

"No blurring allowed! High-definition, no censorship! Full face exposure!"

"Also, have the editors use the most dazzling font to display my ID name, huge and centered above my head."

"Also, add all possible effects: localized effects, global effects, full-body effects, lighting effects—everything that needs to be done, do it all."

"Every attack, every block, every dodge—even a turn of the head or a glance—must have effects. Make it as cool as possible, as domineering as possible; the effects must be flawless!"

"On my character, if you can add wings, add wings; if not, add halos. Every time I clash with a weird creature, trigger a full light pollution effect—pick any color you like, I'll accept anything, just max out the effects!"

"Finally, at the end of the video, add a line of blazing golden text: 'I am the ultimate professional player, I am 【Yese Liming】!'"

"Then, black screen, keep scrolling text."

"Small business, currently accepting all tasks in this game—from killing for treasure and settling grudges, to picking up old ladies and answering game questions—all services covered!"

Ah, this…

Jing Yan was stunned.

Aren't experts usually low-key?

Shouldn't they be mysterious, anonymous, and subtly show off?

Why is this guy doing the exact opposite? Is he testing me?

As Jing Yan was still bewildered, Fang Yue sent another message.

"Remember, make it clear: I'm only accepting work from Gu Yue Cun for now. Projects from other villages are still under urgent expansion. Also, you must pay me directly before I release the video. Here's my virtual account on Longwan Platform."

Looking at the virtual account sent over, Jing Yan's mind struggled to process it.

Is he serious?

Alright… it seems Ye Ge is a highly visible professional player…

Jing Yan could only say that among the high-end players he'd met, people like Ye Ge were rare.

"Uh… money isn't a problem, I'll transfer it over shortly. But Ye Ge, this game is different from others—you need to be within a certain distance to add friends, and even sending messages requires proximity. If you exceed the range, you can't message at all. Even if you advertise as a professional player… no one can contact you in-game to do business. Why not leave your phone number?"

Phone number?

Fang Yue immediately shook his head and replied, refusing.

He was quite protective of his personal privacy, given past revelations on Longwan Forum about terrifying incidents.

For example, a professional player once took a contract to kill a wealthy second-generation heir in another game, reducing him from max level to level 1 and blocking his respawn point for days, preventing him from playing. Furious, the heir hired someone in real life to kill him—and he actually got killed.

This incident became quite famous, causing a huge stir in the community; everyone became extremely sensitive about personal privacy and refused to reveal it lightly.

Even because of this, Longwan Platform upgraded its data encryption, claiming absolutely no hacker could breach their database and steal professional players' personal information.

Whether true or not, at least the attitude was shown.

Moreover, after the encryption upgrade, most subsequent leaks of professional players' privacy were due to the players themselves being careless and revealing information to others—nothing to do with the platform.

So Fang Yue would never reveal personal privacy.

As for the in-game character, that didn't matter.

After all, this game doesn't even have a face customization system; using the character's face to identify oneself, Fang Yue himself couldn't recognize it.

If someone wants to place an order, they can just do it directly on Longwan Platform—he has an account there and can receive orders and private messages. The platform acts as intermediary, guaranteeing privacy and security, which Fang Yue trusts.

So spread the name far and wide.

Even if someone isn't from Gu Yue Cun, they can still place other orders through the platform—like reserving equipment, Life Orders, or asking game questions for a fee.

Just pay a deposit, and when his strength increases, Fang Yue will leave the village to provide on-site service.

These are minor issues. The point is: the reputation must be established first!

Since Fang Yue said so, Jing Yan naturally had no objections.

But regarding the video effects, he had no intention of following Fang Yue's orders completely—he planned to hand it over to professional video editors.

After all… if he truly followed Fang Yue's instructions, it wouldn't be armor effects—it'd be a city covered in golden armor, battles with full light pollution, glowing wings blazing behind him.

Just imagining that scene sent a chill down his spine—how could anyone tell what the original game even looked like? You'd think Ultraman was fighting monsters.

"Dear user, your virtual account 5203 has received 100,000 yuan!"

Accompanied by the system notification, Fang Yue jolted upright.

It's arrived!

Units, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands… one hundred thousand!

Add the seventy thousand from Niu Niu, and in one night he'd earned over 170,000!

Wu hu, takeoff!

I've made it!

Fang Yue's heart raced—he wanted to log off immediately, order the most expensive takeout, drink the most expensive red wine from the nearby supermarket, and indulge extravagantly.

But then he thought—celebrating such a joyous moment alone seemed… lonely.

And it was deep night; he couldn't call anyone.

The year before graduating university, his former classmates who used to get along well were either working overtime on internships or grinding at jobs—they'd gradually lost common topics with him, the guy who lived off gaming, and their bonds had faded.

So the only person Fang Yue could realistically drag out to celebrate seemed to be Yuan Jie.

Suppressing his excitement, Fang Yue decided to play the game first, and think about where and how to celebrate once morning came.

Last night, he'd only earned a little in-game money and had just planned to treat himself to a nice meal at some small restaurant.

Now, having earned hundreds of thousands in one night, a small restaurant was no longer good enough! A five-star hotel restaurant—absolutely a five-star hotel restaurant—he'd indulge extravagantly!

While Fang Yue was lost in these thoughts, Jing Yan had already entered a random wooden hut, lay down on an empty bed, and logged off—his eyes turned vacant, motionless like a corpse, only his breathing rising and falling.

After logging off, Jing Yan opened his eyes.

This was a presidential suite in a five-star hotel in the city center.

In the dimly lit room, many people lay sprawled haphazardly.

They differed in appearance and age, but each wore a Game Watch on their wrist.

This was his studio.

Jingse Studio.

Jingse Studio was established just yesterday.

That's not entirely accurate; strictly speaking, it was established this year—only the members had never been gathered together until now.

He slapped Pangzi's cheek; the Game Watch on Pangzi's wrist immediately flashed a warning red light, and soon Pangzi exited the game and opened his eyes.

"Boss? What's wrong?"

"Something happened in my starting village…"

Jing Yan was about to shift the topic to recording and post-production issues, when Pangzi perked up.

"Me too!"
