Chapter 222: Also a Tempting Fairy

Monday, October 14th.

Hei Yuming dragged his tired body to school, but he was very energetic.

Yesterday, he and Hijikata Isamu worked all day and built the prototype of the website.

Of course, Hei Yuming couldn't help at all in terms of technology, so all he could do was to cheer them on, serve them tea and water, and give them advice... He became the hateful Party A.

But Hijikata Isamu was indeed an amazing talent. Not only did he accept all the opinions, but he also built the website to its full size in just one day.

Out of curiosity, Kuroba Akira checked his talents and found that there were no words on Hijikata Isamu's right hand, and he was a talentless person like himself.

However, the proficiency in his left hand was unusually rich, with seven or eight proficiency levels related to computer technology, such as front-end development, back-end development, database management, network security, etc.

Moreover, the basic proficiency level is lv3, and a few have even reached lv4.

Although he has no talent, he was still able to accumulate such a high level of proficiency. This not only shows that he has amazing perseverance and has devoted a lot of time to it, but also shows that he has very rich experience.

Uncle Yong said that he went to the University of Information Engineering for college and had been interested in software development since his student days. He later joined a large company and became the technical director. Later, his company was acquired by a larger company and his boss was parachuted in. He then decided to start a new business and left the company with several other like-minded friends to start a business and turned to search engines.

Although it is not as famous as Baidu, it also occupies a small market share. Moreover, the company later not only engaged in search engines, but also involved in artificial intelligence and robotics industries, so Uncle Yong's company was eventually listed.

During this period, Hijikata Isamu did not stop exploring technology. Perhaps as a science and engineering man, he was naturally interested in new technologies, which Kuroba Akira could understand.

But perhaps it was because he preferred to immerse himself in technical research that he didn't notice that the brothers who started the business with him had changed...

There is no need to mention the past that is too painful to recall. It is precisely because Uncle Yong did not give up on continuing to study technology because of the growth of his company that he was able to rely on this technology to receive outsourcing from large companies after traveling through time. It can only be said that blessings and misfortunes go hand in hand.

By the way, the name of the barrage video website was decided to be 'dokidoki', abbreviated as D station.

There are many onomatopeia words with this 1212 structure in Japanese, and each one has a different meaning.

Dokidoki is an onomatopeia that describes a rapid heartbeat... Can you find the meaning of the feeling of a rapid heartbeat on this website?

It sounds more like a large online dating website... It doesn't matter, the most important thing is that it is easy to remember.

In fact, it is mainly because the domain name niconico has been occupied, otherwise Hei Yuming still wants to "rebuild the glory of N station".

The video has been created. Hijikata Isamu said that he will start to dig out videos to fill the content library, and he also needs to develop the barrage function. The barrage function of other barrage websites is still very simple. It is just displayed directly on the video like subtitles, and it is not even scrolling.

And there are no functions such as color, font size, transparency, barrage density, display area, and the most important... advanced barrage function.

Kuroba Mingyou specifically explained this to Hijikata Isamu, and he must develop the advanced barrage function first.

Often, the comments made by users themselves are more exciting than the video content itself, and can even be said to create a "carnival" feeling in the video!

The "crowd effect" brought about by the fanatical atmosphere can attract more users and make these users gradually become fans of the website, promoting the website for free like tap water.

Then this type of video will often have a high number of views and can bring in more traffic.

Hijikata Isamu expressed his understanding, and at the same time urged Kuroba Ming to quickly find a few capable people to help build the website.

So Hei Yuming’s task today is to find candidates.

But first I still have to report to the squad leader about Kotori's future commissions.

When he arrived at the classroom of Class One, Grade One, Hei Yuming found that the classroom had been renovated.

"Oh...it looks pretty good..."

After last week's decoration, the Grade 1 classroom has become a pretty decent haunted house.

The entire outer wall of the classroom was covered with black plastic sheeting, and then covered with talisman paper with red handprints. When the curtains were drawn, the entire classroom would surely turn into a dark space.

Teaching in such an environment would make any teacher who is a little timid feel uneasy.

Teacher Kobayakawa didn't seem to be very good at dealing with these scary things. When she was teaching her class in the morning, she was writing on the blackboard and turned around to see that several students in the front row had turned into "faceless people". She almost fainted from fright.

In fact, it was just a leather mask close to the skin color, but the effect was very good. Teacher Kobayakawa's reaction also gave everyone in the class confidence that this haunted house would definitely be a great success.

At lunch time, when he was making lunch arrangements with the class monitor, Kuroba Akira told the class monitor about his weekend stay at the Kotori Yu family.

However, in order to explain the conflict between Kotori Yujia's mother and daughter, he had to tell the class monitor about Future's life experience, and this matter still had to be concealed for Kotori Yujia, so Kuroba Akira omitted Aunt Akiko's life experience.

It only said that Mirai Kotori wanted to be a voice actor, but her mother disagreed. It did not explain the reason for her disagreement, so Mirai Kotori protested by refusing to go to school. Now Mirai has given up on being a voice actor and reached a settlement with her mother.

Anri Hitomi concluded, tapping her chin.

"Hmm... so, in the future, she's not staying home for external reasons, but has decided to stay home and work as a freelancer based on her own future?"

"That's right, and this has already been approved by Aunt Qiuzi. She said that as long as it's something she truly wants to do in the future, she will support her unconditionally."

"That's it..."

Anri Hitomi smiled with relief. She was still very happy that she could find her own path in the future.

"But I guess it was you, Mingjun, who read Mirai's palm and pointed out another path for her, so she was willing to give up the voice actor career she had always dreamed of since she was a child, right?"

"Well, I did show it to her...but she made the decision herself."

Hei Yuming touched his nose, feeling that his attempt to hide something made it even more obvious. He had not mentioned that it was his suggestion to Xiao Niaoyou that she become a full-time UP host in the future, nor had he even said what Xiao Niaoyou wanted to do at home in the future, but the squad leader still guessed it, which meant that the squad leader had completely believed in the ability to read palms, and... the squad leader had already understood his own style of doing things very well.

Therefore, Hei Yuming felt that the class monitor had seen through his intention to continue to guide the future shut-in, so he felt like he had let the class monitor down.

However, what Anri Hitomi cares about is not the reason why Kuroba Akira is "making a fuss", but that Kuroba Akira also has his eyes on Kotobuki in the future.

Sure enough, there are talents in the future.

Is it a gaming-related talent?

Or maybe a talent related to music...

In short, she will be talented in the future and will be a talented woman who will be favored by a wise ruler.

But at this time, Anri Hitomi no longer had any resentful feelings.

It was an established fact that she had no talent and was not favored by Hei Yuming. There was no point in complaining. It would be better to focus on other things... for example, whether Hei Yuming needed her help.

Until now, it was Hei Yuming who helped me, and it was now my turn to do something for him. Of course, this didn't mean small things like feeding him and using him as a lap pillow, but something more substantial.

However, it was still a bit too abrupt to bring it up directly. An Litong planned to settle the previous bill first, and deliberately showed a regretful expression and said.

"This means you've completed the commission, Mingjun. However, if she doesn't come to school in the future, there's no way for her to join our Arts Club."

"Oh... So, squad leader, you want her to be the fifth person in the future?"

"Yes, I think she's a suitable candidate for the future. After the fight with her classmates, if she continues to go to school, she'll probably need a place away from them. At least she won't be able to integrate into the class in her freshman year."

"I see……"

"But now it seems that she won't need our shelter in the future... I'll also explain this to Zhencheng. Anyway, this commission was successfully completed thanks to you, Mingjun. Thank you very much."

"No, no, you're welcome."

"However, since you only completed half of the commission, Mingjun, the reward..."

"no yet?"

"You still have to pay me, but I'll cut the reward in half. I'll just give you 'half-day use of my property.'"

Hei Yuming was delighted, half a day was enough!

If it's twelve hours, I can fully instruct the squad leader to strike various poses...in other words, do various things.

This isn't good. There's too much yellow waste piling up in my brain. It's all because of Ziyin's Jade Thoughts! It's affecting my daily life!

Anri Hitomi also felt that Hei Yuming seemed to be a little interested in her body, so she smiled meaningfully and whispered to him while feeding him.

"There's no expiration date, so Mingjun, please think carefully about how to use me."

"..."

Ugh...! This is also an alluring fairy... Damn squad leader, you will be killed sooner or later if you keep doing this!

However, when facing the squad leader, Hei Yuming was indeed timid but not courageous. He just talked big in his mind and didn't dare to do anything out of line.

And, even if it's not from a physical point of view, Kuroba Akira really wants her because he needs the support of the class monitor for his new business.

Half-day usage rights... Hei Yuming has already figured out how to use it.

He planned to make an appointment with the class monitor one weekend and take this opportunity to talk to her about being a secretary.

Because it concerns her future, Kuroba Akira feels it necessary to invite her to join his side in a more formal setting.

While Kuroba Akira was thinking about how to get the squad leader to join the gang, Asato Hitomi was also thinking about how to earn Kuroba Akira's favor, and the previous agreement came in handy.

"Speaking of which, Mingjun, you haven't forgotten your promise to go to the cultural festival with me, right?"

"I won't forget it. My memory isn't that bad."

"That's good. You must make time for me, okay?"

"Yeah, definitely."

The school festival will begin the day after tomorrow.

This school festival lasts for two days. The first day is closed to the public and classes will have a "stall competition".

On the second day, the school will open its doors and welcome visitors to participate. In addition to stalls and various performances, there will also be club exhibitions, such as cheerleading performances, karate performances, etc.

Many students who are about to enter high school will also take this opportunity to get to know the atmosphere of the school in advance.

This means that I can bring Ziyin to visit the school on Thursday.

Although he had an agreement with the class monitor, Kuroba Akira wanted to visit the stalls with the class monitor on the first day and take Shion to the school festival on the second day so that he wouldn't miss out on either.

"By the way, Mingjun, the arrangements for the cultural festival are almost finished. Shiori told me that her class's arrangements are also finished, so we'll resume the literature club activities today."

"Got it. Let's go to the activity room after school. It's time to start writing the second volume."

In fact, the first volume of "Meiyuu" had already been sent to editor Mori for typesetting before the final draft was completed. The cover color inserts had also been completed and handed over to the editorial department for secondary design, such as adding lines to it and adding a title to the cover, etc.

The release date of the first volume is set for October 10th. The following week is the most critical week. The publishing tax can be roughly calculated based on the weekly sales, and we can also know how much the first pot of gold can be obtained.

As a super popular work, if a single volume can sell a cumulative 100,000 copies, a light novel can probably get around 13 million yen, but the cumulative sales of light novels are calculated on an annual basis.

If it can sell 10,000 to 20,000 copies in the first week, it's considered a super hit, which is about 2 million yen. If we split it in half...

If you can finally get one million yen, it will be considered a great success.

One million is already a lot as a first pot of gold, but it's a pity that it's Japanese Yen, not RMB. Although the symbols look similar, the values ​​are completely different.

However, the royalties from light novels are long-lasting. As long as they are continuously reprinted, it means a steady stream of income, which will ensure the initial capital investment of D Station.

The money problem has been solved, and then there is the problem of people...

Hei Yuming asked the squad leader who knew everything.

"By the way, monitor, do you know if our school has a computer department?"

"Yes, yes..."

At this time, Anri Hitomi was eating the egg rolls left by Hei Yuming. After hearing the question asked by Hei Yuming, she put the chopsticks in her mouth and looked a little speechless.

"Uh, what's the problem?"

"I thought you were playing dumb, Akihiro, but you really don't know... Fujiyoshi-kun, he's a member of the computer club."

"Huh? So Dofu joined the computer department?"

"Mingjun...you really don't care about things that don't interest you."

"Ha ha……"

Unexpectedly, the talent I needed was right in front of me. Since Fuji Michio was a member of the computer club, things would be easy. I could ask him to help me visit their club and then pick out a few reliable talents from them.

Or simply reach a cooperation with the computer department and let everyone work for you.

If the club is full of otakus who like the two-dimensional world like Fujiyoshi Michio, Kuroba Akira is still confident that they can join his career out of interest.

But at this moment, Kuroba Akira remembered that he had discussed this topic with Fujiyoshi Michio last time. He said that there was a senior in his club who had failed a grade for three years. His name was... Nishimura?

Not only did he dye his hair, he also secretly smoked in the club room... sounds like a bad guy.

Dealing with bad people...it's really troublesome.

But for the sake of career, you should still try it!

Please, don't be a weirdo!
