Rebirth: My Home Has Become a Gathering Place for Young Women with a "Crazy" Spirit

Exclusive contracts are proving very effective. Bilibili officially announced "Shadiao Xiaren" as their exclusive contracted content creator, accompanied by a poster showcasing their exclusive resources. This instantly boosted the already popular "Shadiao Xiaren" account to new heights, with their fan base skyrocketing to nearly 1.5 million.

At the same time, the resulting profits also skyrocketed.

Qin Lang struck while the iron was hot. On the first day after signing the contract, he released five episodes of "Shrimp Cultivation: Starting as a Furnace Cauldron". After the videos were released, they received preferential traffic on the homepage and the number of views quickly exceeded ten million. The data of charging rewards, creation incentives and GG revenue sharing on the Bilibili backend soared.

Qin Lang looked at the daily earnings section in the backend. The numbers kept jumping, starting from a few hundred yuan and breaking through at a visible speed: one thousand, five thousand, ten thousand, fifty thousand, one hundred thousand...

Early that morning, Qin Lang took three young women with him and headed straight for the digital mall.

He needed to replace his equipment with high-end creative equipment. On the way there, Qin Lang mentally prepared a list: a top-of-the-line Intel Core processor, a high-performance laptop with dual graphics cards, a professional drawing tablet, a 4K high-definition camera, a professional microphone, a noise reduction graphics card, a professional fill light...

With comedic animation and online novels on the right track, it's time to move into short videos, live streaming, and short dramas.

In 2016, short dramas were in their early stages of development and were still a blue ocean market. The era of this sector truly taking off had not yet arrived. By positioning ourselves early, the traffic and revenue brought by a hit short drama would be far greater than simply making skits or live streaming.

Su Yue, that girl, has a good image and is outgoing. Although she's not a professionally trained actress, her acting is natural, so she should be able to handle short dramas.

As for the script... any one of them in my head would be a hit.

"Cyber ​​Digital Plaza" is the largest digital mall in the city. It has four floors and sells everything from mobile phones and computers to cameras and drones.

As the group entered the lobby on the first floor, Su Yue excitedly said, looking at the dazzling array of phones, "My phone screen is broken, so I'll get a new one."

Today, Su Yue wore a cropped T-shirt, paired with wide-leg jeans, her hair was down, and she wore a pair of exaggerated hoop earrings.

Ruan Zhihuan dressed more simply this time, wearing a white shirt with black trousers and her hair loosely tied back, giving her a more mature and sophisticated look.

Xu Han remained as simple as ever, wearing a black short-sleeved shirt, a dark blue denim mini skirt, and canvas shoes, with little expression on her face.

A handsome guy with three beautiful girls strolling around the electronics market still attracted a lot of attention.

"Let's look at the phone first, and then I'll buy what I need," Qin Lang said as he walked.

The four of them strolled around the first floor of the digital mall. Su Yue took a liking to the Apple iPhone 7, but the price of the phone meant she could only look at the demo unit repeatedly in the experience area.

Qin Lang stood in front of the counter, consulting with the salesperson about the specifications of a camera.

"Hey, isn't this Su Yue, Ruan Zhihuan, and Xu Han?" Just then, a sharp voice came from behind.

The voice wasn't loud, but there was an unpleasant sour tone in it.

Su Yue and the others turned their heads, their faces instantly turning gloomy, clearly indicating that they did not want to see this person.

Qin Lang also turned around.

There were two people standing in front of me.

A girl, around eighteen or nineteen years old, was heavily made up, wearing a sequined bodycon dress and sky-high heels, carrying a bag of unknown brand. Her features were actually quite good, but the excessive makeup made her look rather tacky.

Upon seeing her attire, Qin Lang knew that she was definitely like Zheng Qian from last time, a kindred spirit of Su Yue and her group, belonging to the "spiritual young lady" clan.

Standing next to the girl was a man in his early fifties, not very tall, but with a large belly like that of a full-term pregnant woman. He had a Mediterranean hairstyle, with the last tuft of hair neatly combed and shiny. He wore a thick gold chain around his neck and a gleaming gold watch on his wrist. His entire being screamed: I'm a tycoon.

A spirited young woman hooked up with a balding, middle-aged man. Qin Lang instinctively conjured up the same scenario as last time.

Xu Han's expression grew even colder. Su Yue put down the prototype she was holding, turned around to look at the girl, and said with a forced smile, "Liu Siyu, it's you."

The girl named Liu Siyu looked Su Yue and her companions up and down, her gaze sweeping over them before finally settling on Qin Lang, who was dressed plainly. A half-smile played on her lips as she said, "Long time no see. I thought you'd found a rich guy. How come... you're still so shabby?"

Su Yue clenched her fists slightly, Ruan Zhihuan frowned, and Xu Han didn't move, but his gaze turned even colder when he shifted from his phone to Liu Siyu.

Qin Lang didn't rush to speak. He leaned against the nearby display stand, crossed his arms, and watched the scene with great interest.

"How we do is none of your business," Su Yue said coldly. "You're the one who should mind your own business."

Liu Siyu covered her mouth and chuckled twice, her laughter sounding... affected, as if she'd learned it from a short video: "Su Yue, why are you still so angry? I'm just concerned about you."

As she spoke, she leaned closer to the bald man beside her, deliberately raising her voice a few decibels: "I'm doing quite well now with Boss Wang. He said he's coming to buy me a new phone today, any one I want, he's got plenty of money."

Did I ask you? Who cares how you're doing?

Besides, don't you live the same life no matter who you're with?

The bald man, addressed as "General Manager Wang," puffed out his belly, flashed what he thought was a very smug smile, and clenched his fist: "Anything under two thousand yuan, take your pick!"

Two thousand yuan.

Qin Lang's lips twitched. This Mr. Wang was truly wealthy and powerful. Moreover, his demeanor and style made it seem as if he had bought the entire electronics mall and given it to this girl.

Liu Siyu, however, was not satisfied. She rubbed the bald old man's arm hard with her weapon a few times, then glanced at Su Yue and the other two, her eyes filled with undisguised smugness and provocation: "See? What level of old man did I shoot? And what about you?"

The girl glanced at Qin Lang again, smacked her lips, and her meaning was quite clear.

Su Yue laughed, mocking him without any restraint: "Hahaha, two thousand yuan for anything you want? That's hilarious! Are you planning to use this phone to crack walnuts?"

Liu Siyu's expression changed: "What do you mean?"

"What I mean is," Su Yue said, emphasizing each word, "you actually have the nerve to show off a phone that costs two thousand yuan?"

Mr. Wang lost face. He coughed, cleared his throat, and said, "Little girl, what do you know? A two-thousand-yuan phone is already quite good, with all the functions."

Ruan Zhihuan casually added, "The problem is, these days a two-thousand-yuan phone really can only crack walnuts."

Mr. Wang's face turned a deep shade of liver.

Liu Siyu quickly took his arm, trying to get him out of the awkward situation: "Mr. Wang, don't take them to heart, they're just jealous. By the way, this one next to you..." She looked at Qin Lang, "Is she your new girlfriend?"
