Dragon, choose cultural victory to make money

Chapter 269 From City Hero to Internet Celebrity Brother (End)

When Lyon received the bonus, he suddenly realized that he had never thought about how to spend the money.

He is a person with very low material desires and has no demands for food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to survive for so long by just eating black bread.

Apart from the fact that he didn't know that his food and drink were not as good as others because he had a dream, he did think that black bread was okay.

But his friends in the store all felt very sorry for him.

After arriving at the training base, there was even less place to spend money. I ate in the cafeteria, slept in the dormitory, wore clothes given by the sponsor, and drank Coke from my teammates.

Life is so boring.

After the game, Miss Grace gave all the team staff a long vacation.

Take a break first, then prepare for the year-end finals.

Some of the teammates went out to travel, while others indulged in red-light districts.

Grace only restricted them from doing two things.

First, you cannot gamble. A player involved in gambling is always at risk of match-fixing.

Second, you should not touch those strange hallucinogenic potions made by alchemists. Your brain will not work properly after touching them.

To sum it up in one sentence, Grace and gambling and drugs are incompatible.

So the teammates’ entertainment naturally went in that direction.

Whether traveling or clubbing, you can find a female companion, and sometimes more than one.

This group of internet-addicted teenagers, who were originally completely unpopular with girls, became popular overnight.

Who says a champion who gets it by cheating is not a champion?

Didn't they win two games? They helped Lyon score more points. They were responsible for one-third of Lyon's 5-1 win...

As for the young Lyon student who should have been the most popular, he chose to stay at the training base during the holidays.

The villa is located in an upscale community, and fanatical fans cannot get in.

Miss Grace thoughtfully asked the cook to stay.

She was paid by the day, and she didn't want to take a vacation, so she just cooked for Leon herself, and she didn't reduce her wages. She had never done such a good job.

This means that you don't have to spend any money on your vacation in Lyon.

So, Leon, who was experienced in the game but lacked common sense in reality, did the best he could think of to deal with the money.

Give it to mom and dad and let them help take care of it.

After learning about this, the team leader praised Lyon for doing a great job, saying that this way no one could cause him percentage damage by getting married and then divorced.

Leon said he didn't understand.

As for Leon's parents, they had never seen so much money and were confused.

But they made perhaps the wisest decision of their lives.

Ask Miss Grace.

I must say, Grace is a good girl.

After Lyon's parents asked her, she suggested investing the money in the Twin Towers City event lottery.

We are not asking them to buy lottery tickets, but to invest. This project is just the start and needs money.

In this way, a small wealthy man in Shuangta City was born.

Lyon, who depended on the cook at the base, received treatment.

In order to prevent him from being unable to resist playing games again and affecting his recovery, the priest professionally sealed his right hand.

Don't move!
So Leon discovered a new world: this is what it feels like to use your left hand.

When he had nothing to do during the day, he would get the school textbooks.

Lyon felt that he would definitely not be able to play games in the future, so he should read more books. It would always be good to learn knowledge.

In fact, although his grades were not good, they were not bad either. He was just one of the ordinary people.

But when it comes to learning, you should study on your own, without anyone to supervise you. It all depends on your self-control.

For a teenager, it's impossible to hold on all day.

Lyon then set his sights on another prize for winning.

Home console provided by Drogo Corporation.

Top version.

It is equipped with almost all accessories except some mage-specific functions.

One cost more than the six they had in the training room for watching film combined.

Leon logged into YouTube on his own host.

When I used YouTube before, I was so focused on the devil that I didn’t pay any attention to the other content here.

Lyon clicked on the hot list.

First place: "Homemade smile aid, using physical methods to help you get a perfect smile", author: Handicraft Stone.

Stone?
Such a familiar surname, I feel like I have heard it in many places.

Leon clicked on this video.

A serious old man in work clothes appeared on the screen.

“I know some friends who, due to their personalities or personal experiences, rarely smile and have serious expressions, which brings a lot of inconvenience to their lives and social interactions.

"For this reason, I designed and produced a smile aid to help these people."

As he spoke, the video showed an iron semicircle with two hooks connected by a chain.

It looks very cold.

"It is very simple to use. Just hook the two hooks at the corners of your mouth, then turn the knob to tighten the chain, and your smile will slowly appear, and you can easily keep it all day long..."

The old man demonstrated the usage directly on himself.

As the chain gradually tightened, the corners of the old man's mouth curved up at a strange angle. The key point was that he was staring straight at the camera, and the more he looked, the more perverted he became.

Leon was so scared that he turned off the video.

What did he see?

The Joker from the Batman comics showed up with the exact same smile.

So weird, so scary, I really want to take another look at it.

Leon clicked back to the original video.

The more I look at it, the more I get confused.

How did you come up with this thing?

Weird, but fun.

The comment section shared his opinion, and was full of laughter. Many people even wrote jokes directly in the comment section.

So viewers like videos like this?
Leon took note. He didn't know how to describe or summarize this type of video, only a vague concept.

He continued browsing the hit list.

Almost all of them are light-hearted content of this kind, and I was surprised to find that there are no game-related videos.

I kept scrolling until the 48th place and saw "The Strongest Player's Professional Review: Details You Don't Know About the Son of the Twin Towers' Victory over the Devil."

Who is it? You are so arrogant.

Lyon clicks in, author: Toto.

That's fine.

The video is 90 minutes long, in which Toto carefully analyzes every mistake made by both sides in the game, how to play better, what are the problems with the overall thinking, where they played well, and why they played well.

He also highly praised Lyon's tactics in the decider.

He finished it without fast-forwarding.

Benefited a lot.

Very well said. Since there was a holiday after the game, there was no review session with the coach. Lyon did the review on his own. Now it seems that he still has some distance to go before he can be as good as coach Toto.

But why is such a good video ranked so far down on the hot list?

Leon was a little confused.

Go to the comments section.

"Very good video, but the amount of information is so great that I had to watch it in three sessions."

"You are number one on the ladder. You are right, but I don't understand a lot of things."

"Is the competition really that intense? Why do I feel like both sides are competing with the air?"

……

Yeah, this video is so professional.

Leon realized that although he was in the game section, the look and feel was the same as the knowledge section.

It is also high-end knowledge.

Lyon knew very well that the vast majority of players had nothing to do with high-end games. When he was ranking himself, he kept seeing the same names over and over again, and sometimes a game would take more than ten or twenty minutes.

When I secretly practiced the devil with a small account, I queued up in seconds.

When playing with a small account, I also found that many tactics were useless when facing low-rank opponents.

He prepared countermeasures to various tactics, but the opponent just rushed straight at him. Professionalism is doomed to be a niche.

The concept in Leon's mind was clear. To be the most popular video, it was important that it was easy to watch, but more importantly, it had to be understandable to enough viewers.

He opened the game section and found that the contents were all professional.

The fastest way to pass a certain game;
Top Branch video analysis;

Purely displaying high-end operations;

There are even tutorials on how to play the game.

Finally, does this category really not need to be included in the knowledge partition?

Then Lyon thought that perhaps he could fill the gap in easy-to-understand game videos.

Anyway, he has been free recently, and the videos on YouTube don’t seem difficult to make. He thought they would be as complicated as Shadow of Magic.

In addition to his passion for analysis and research, another advantage of Lyon is his strong ability to take action.

He directly looked for tutorials related to video production in the knowledge section.

Start learning post-production.

He soon discovered that it was very simple to just edit the video, add commentary, and publish it.

His host has built-in video editing function, which is simply perfect.

He tried it on his own host, familiarized himself with the operation, and casually cut some of his own materials.

Yes, he can do it.

So the next question is, what to shoot.

And what to use for shooting.

First of all, Leon is definitely a smart kid, but not smart in all aspects.

He had never expected that the Red Alert sandbox had a built-in recording function.

Because the videos he had watched before were all released by the official account of the Red Alert Video Team, he thought that only the development team could record the game in that way.

But Lyon had a plan of his own.

He found a camera used by the team to record footage, set it up above the sand table, and started filming.

In order to avoid getting his head hit, Lyon could only maintain a very awkward backward posture.

While preparing the equipment, he also decided on the content of the shoot.

In addition to matching and ranking, Red Alert also has a game mode.

Create a public room and wait for passers-by to enter.

This type of room is usually an entertainment room. The owner usually sets strange house rules and gives the room quite exaggerated names in order to attract passers-by.

Clickbait headlines are everywhere.

There is no way, it is really useful.

Lyon soon found his target.

One room is named "20 consecutive wins in the snow, come on, masters, call me dad if you lose" with a goal.

The easiest part of Lyon's video production process is editing the materials.

Ten minutes, three rounds.

He won three straight games.

Use only one hand.

If you don't use despicable and show-stopping tactics on purpose, it can be even faster.

The other party broke his promise and did not call him dad, so he kicked Leon out of the room.

Before kicking him, he even said, "It's shameful for professional players to bully us gamers."

I don't know who was the master who wrote it in the first place.

Then Leon watched as the room name was changed.

"17 consecutive wins in the snow and ice, here comes the master, if you lose, call daddy."

Interesting way of counting.

He recorded this part as well.

What follows is the boring dubbing and editing.

In order to create an interesting effect, Leon also learned how to explain the dwarf fight.

The dwarves could interpret two chickens pecking each other as a battle of phoenixes.

After several hours of hard work, Lyon's first video was released.

The title is "The Sin of Pride! Whose father and son were defeated by one hand?"

Then post it on your own account.

After doing all this, it was already late at night. He thought that his video would not be seen so soon, so he went straight to bed after dinner.

It feels more tiring than playing a game.

At the same time, thousands of kilometers away.

Drogo looked at his pool of gold coins with a sad face.

He was 114 percent sure that the height of the gold coins in the pool was 5.14 centimeters less.

Do not underestimate these few centimeters. Multiply it by the length and width of the swimming pool, subtract the approximate stacking gap caused by the shape of the gold coins, and finally divide it by the volume of the gold coins.

At least a few hundred thousand gold coins.

Money is flowing out!

Cash assets decreased by nearly one percent!

Drogo was as helpless as a child thousands of years old.

But the money was not stolen. If it was stolen, I would be much more excited than I am now.

It's simply because my recent expenses have been greater than my income.

The group's other businesses have become stable, and the newly launched console business is still in a niche circle. All the money earned from Red Alert has been used to promote game competitions.

The construction of Waterdeep City is costing us a lot of money.

It is still a bit difficult to carry out large-scale construction on our own.

Although after calculation, even if there is only expenditure and no income, less than one-third of the savings would be used for building the city, and the money could be earned back double in the future.

In theory, if his money can circulate, it will be better for the entire market.

But Drogo was not happy.

The dragon has always been a contradictory combination of conservatism and adventure, which depends on whether capital investment is required.

When it comes to a no-cost business, dragons are always willing to give it a try no matter how dangerous it is.

But if he had to invest money first, Long would immediately become an ultimate conservative.

In Zhuogo's impression, as long as he doesn't invest, his returns will be better than many investors.

No, we have to find a profitable business for Deepwater City, which is still in its infancy.

At this moment, Drogo received a message from Elsa.

He took a look.

The sad look on his face disappeared.

Waterdeep's first cash cow is arriving.

An hour later, Drogo and Yuno appeared in front of the station in Waterdeep.

Well, to be precise, it should be in front of the prototype of the station.

A railroad, a cabin, and then nothing.

This station is like the one in Red Dead Redemption.

The entire route only connects Waterdeep and the nearest city.

It seldom transports people, but mainly transports goods. Supplies for stores in the city are transported via it.

Small businesses cannot afford shipping, and sea transportation is too slow.

The frequency of train travel is very low because for the railway company, it would be more profitable to invest the transport capacity here than to invest it elsewhere.

Private companies are like this, they only care about their own interests.

It's understandable, after all, Drogo himself is the same most of the time.

This is why transportation cannot be left entirely to private individuals.

If that happens, there will be many areas where cars will never be able to reach them.

While waiting for the "cash cow", Drogo started to browse YouTube out of thin air.

He has a lot of magic power, so he can watch videos directly through spell mimicry without a host.

Let me see if there is anything new...

《The Sin of Pride! Whose father and son were defeated by one-handed attack?》

"!"

Could it be that Toto has finally come to his senses?
