Marissa also went to school, and since she had contact with her classmates, children of this age would more or less talk about these kinds of things.

Marissa's knowledge of that area, aside from physiology class, consisted mainly of her classmates' conversations and the "comic book study materials" that AI Sister had rushed to deliver to her that night.

She didn't finish reading all those resources; she just picked a few books of about 20 pages each for theoretical study, and then went straight to practical oral calculation experience.

The girl couldn't understand why the things that came out of Chu Yinan's mouth were completely beyond her imagination.

"Brother, are you just making things up to fool me? Are you planning to say something like using your hair or your back next time?" Marissa said skeptically.

Chu Yinan didn't know how to explain it, so he could only think to himself: Little sister, your vision is too narrow. Is there any way to play that you can't develop?

He had no choice but to draw inspiration from renowned teachers and experts. He took out his old phone, opened a hidden folder, and precisely located the works, showing Marissa those educational pieces.

Marissa finished reading without saying a word, her face turning bright red. She muttered angrily in a low voice, "...Brother, you're shameless!"

"Didn't you ask me to say it?" Chu Yinan felt she was in a difficult position, as she would be scolded no matter what she did. "I've already explained everything, so don't be angry."

"Brother, when are you going to exercise next time? I want to go with you and make sure you run until your legs are sore."

"What do you want to do?" Chu Yinan became wary. Was he planning to retaliate in such a vicious way?

The girl lowered her voice and said shyly, "Then we booked a room by the hour together, and I helped my brother take a bath."

When you say "take a bath," do you mean a vegetarian bath or a meat bath?

However, judging from the direction of the conversation, Marissa didn't seem to have any grudges, so Chu Yinan felt relieved.

I got up early in the middle of the night and unexpectedly solved so many things. I really worked hard.

sleep!

"I'm going to catch up on my sleep. Can I sleep here at Marissa's?"

"Okay!" Marissa agreed eagerly, still holding him tightly as if afraid he would leave. "Then, can you hold me while I sleep in your current larger size?"

"alright."

Chu Yinan pulled Marissa down to lie down, letting her rest her head on his arm. However, he didn't forget to set up an alarm so that the smart home system would alert him if anyone was approaching.

"Brother, how do you close your thighs? I want to learn."

"Don't learn that!"

"What should I do with my feet? I'll step on you next time too."

"...Go to sleep and stop talking."

----------

After getting up and having breakfast, Chu Yinan received a rare message from a female user – the matching system was looking for him!

[Chu Yinan: What should I call you? Can I video call you to see what you look like?]

[Matching System: No! Absolutely not! Don't ask this again, or I'll give you a difficult task!]

Does this count as abusing one's power to retaliate?

Chu Yinan wondered if her current mood was like that of those miserable people who were pressured to get married and have children.

This matching system is making my sister's decision-making difficulties too severe. This matchmaking work is having a big impact on her!

[Chu Yinan: I won't ask anymore. So, what did you want to see me about?]

[Matching System: Within the entire artificial island system, you currently have the best performance in the matchmaking history.]

That's right. Can anyone else match so many at once like me? It's all out of necessity!

[Chu Yinan: Hmm, and then?]

[Matching System: We are currently discussing a new promotion plan. You may be selected as a role model to livestream your matchmaking process. I will also give you some customized tasks, which will be easy.]

What the heck? A live-streamed date?

Chapter 112 On the Weight of Words Regarding the Position of Brother

Live streaming is a very problematic thing.

"I'm not the kind of person who likes to show off, and the woman might not be willing to do it live, right?"

Chu Yinan's own identity as a main account was being closely watched by her two good older sisters, Shibuya Yi and Mandy. Going live would be like walking into a trap, much like a criminal suspect rushing to Zhang Ziyi's concert.

The key issue is that if the two people know each other beforehand, the actual date will have a scripted or staged element. You can refer to scripted outdoor live streams.

But if he secretly does a live stream without the woman's knowledge... wouldn't that be similar to discovering amateur movie stars?

[Matching System: An announcement will be made regarding this later. Similar to the preference options, if you cooperate fully during a live stream, I will give you a chance to skip a certain dating task.]

In other words, while participation is ostensibly voluntary, I didn't actually have much of a choice.

However, the reward given by this AI sister was quite to Chu Yinan's liking; it was equivalent to a "free meal" opportunity.

If one day you come across some strange task with Yu Tang or Aunt Liu, you can use this opportunity to skip it; it's truly a chance to save yourself.

Furthermore, the matching system also mentioned that it would customize a relatively simple live-stream dating task. Since it's a live stream, it certainly won't be the kind of thing where you lick your toes and taste the original flavor.

I guess they'll just have a meal and watch a movie.

"It depends on the situation. I should be able to do it, but you need to get the woman's consent."

[Matching System: You don't need to worry about anything else, just focus on dating.]

"Hmm? Not going to exercise today? You've been exercising for days now, why are you still so weak?" Bei Yutang pinched her younger brother's arm to see if he had developed any muscles.

"I do have muscles, they're just temporarily hidden." Chu Yinan removed her sister's hand.

Exercise and training both require rest periods, especially for beginners (of course, this is just Chu Yinan's excuse for being lazy).

Today, he didn't take his maid to the gym. It had nothing to do with Marissa; he simply felt he needed to rest.

He and his sister are waiting in the publisher's small conference room because the revised manuscript will be officially published tomorrow.

The title was chosen quite casually. Originally, it was supposed to be "Female Monster," but Bei Yutang saw that Chu Yinan always called the woman who helped revise the manuscript that, so she simply used it.

However, after several attempts by the editorial department to persuade them, they finally changed it to the more neutral title, "The Landlady of the Hot Spring Inn".

The illustrator who provided the illustrations is the same artist who helped with the adult version of the game "Snow Village in the Mountains" last time. They basically captured the beauty and charm of the mature female proprietress.

Chu Yinan felt it was a pity that her feet weren't pretty enough, or rather, not as pretty as the jade feet of the female demon, Izumi Minakawa.

Not long after, the editor, who had just finished her internal meeting, came over.

The editor was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, wearing thin-rimmed glasses and a gray office lady suit. She was a very patient person at work.

The woman with the black stockings and chubby legs was dressed similarly today. At the request of her elderly mother, she changed into a black business suit, with a hip-hugging skirt and black stockings and high heels. However, Yan Liu's makeup for her daughter was too formal, making her look a bit like a female secretary.

If it weren't for her sister's secretary outfit, Chu Yinan wouldn't have come along.

From Chu Yinan's observation, Yu Tang inherited the casualness of her two parents, especially Heinrich's maverick nature, which brought considerable trouble to the editor, but the editor has always cooperated diligently.

When Yu Tang had no prior works to her name and first submitted her manuscript to the publishing house, she received considerable help from the editor.

"Ms. Xue, are you really not going to use your previous pen name?" The editor was troubled. "This is a very important publicity resource!"

Editors and authors typically address each other by their pen names.

Bei Yutang was also very insistent. In fact, this issue had been discussed many times. After the first draft was given to the editor, the discussion on this issue had never stopped.

Bei Yutang's answers were always consistent.

"I don't plan to. Compared to attracting readers who come because of the success of my old works, I think it's more important to give strangers who happen to get the book a sense of surprise of 'discovering a treasure'."

“Miss Xue isn’t someone who doesn’t understand the market. Sometimes a book is good, but if it doesn’t get good promotion, it will lose the results it should have achieved. Your old work was published less than a year ago, and it’s still popular. That’s better promotion than any other kind of promotion!”

Bei Yutang's thought process is unconventional; her perspective is completely different from that of the editor. She said:

"It's true that the results might not be as good as 'Snow,' and there will be a gap between the results and expectations. But this can be considered as making up for the fact that 'Snow' exceeded expectations. It's not a big problem."

The rise of the book "Snow" was somewhat coincidental. At the time, the authors of the two top-ranking publishers were vying for the number one spot and secretly encouraged their fans to criticize newly published books at the same time in order to boost their own popularity. They would bring out some passages for comparison and say that their book was better.

After it was all over, passersby discovered that the fairy tale was well-written and interesting, and its popularity skyrocketed.

Bei Yutang was quite unhappy about this "chance" encounter. "Snow" was originally a product of her "interest + slacking off during internship", and she wanted to know the true quality of the book.

After all, they're rich and have plenty of money, so they can do whatever they want.

After listening for a while, Chu Yinan felt that what the editor said made sense. Besides, the editor had taken such good care of her at work, so it would be good for her to boost her performance.

He tried to persuade her, "Yutang, just give it a little publicity. This book has inspiration from my work, and it even has revisions from the female demon. If the results are too bad, I'll lose face!"

Bei Yutang glanced at her younger brother, who was clinging to her lap, hesitated for a long time, and finally agreed:

"Alright, I'll register a social media account when I get back for promotional purposes. I'll leave the account verification to the publisher."

Σ(⊙▽⊙"a?!

The editor was surprised. What's so surprising? It turns out that Miss Xue is a brother-obsessed girl. I've tried to persuade her so many times but she wouldn't agree. But her little brother just said it once and she agreed!

That's a bit much!

However, it's a good thing that she agreed, and the editor's boss even suspected that she hadn't done her job of persuading her.

The miserable office worker editor further confirmed, "Regarding the promotional plan we discussed before, Ms. Xue, could you consider changing it to a plan with a larger investment in promotion? The promotional plan you chose before was too cheap!"

"Then let's do it your way, but we won't consider the book signing event. That's fine." Bei Yutang had already given her approval once, so she didn't bother to worry about the rest.

 

Chapter 113 I'm going to crush you!

It's clear that the publisher is quite keen on the matter of Beijing Language and Culture University's Tang Kai account promoting their new work. Within about ten minutes of the discussion, the editor received a notification from the technical department that the account verification had been completed and could be handed over to the person in charge.

On her way home, Bei Yutang took five minutes to promote her new work, which consisted of only a few words.

—A new work is in the works.

They didn't even mention what book it was or what the title was, which just showed how perfunctory they were...

The people in charge of publicity at Fengshui Publishing House are having a headache just looking at this. Who promotes a new book like this?

But she had no choice but to bite the bullet and proceed. First, she used the publisher's official account to forward Ms. Xue's message. It was because Bei Yutang did not register an author account that all the book fans who admired her went to follow Fengshui Publishing House.

Subsequently, she mentioned on her various platforms that Miss "Snow" was preparing to publish a new book, and spent money to hire media studios and websites to promote it, as well as to buy large-screen advertisements in major commercial plazas.
