Chapter 122: Chapter 122: You Really Know How to Make Money

On Bilibili, when the video making fun of his own self hit over ten million views, Wu Mu also received the link sent by Guo Hong.

It was evident that Guo Hong was thrilled.

A video hitting ten million views in just one day was unimaginable in terms of exposure and popularity.

And if it was just a video blackening Wu Mu, even if it had a high viewership, their company wouldn’t benefit much.

But this particular uploader had edited the video with fancy cuts, including their game’s promotional footage just right, and the biggest trigger was a line from their promotional video, which resulted in many viewers actually getting interested in their game.

He had already received news from his subordinates that their game’s player registration numbers had been explosively increasing from today.

He never expected that getting Wu Mu as an endorser would bring such unexpected benefits.

Guo Hong thought this was all a coincidence, but only Wu Mu knew it must’ve been the system flexing its power again.

And he guessed this was probably just the beginning, there should be more to come.

After all, the Performance Card added real achievements, and although there seemed to be many new players, it wasn’t certain they would spend money.

And indeed, things went as he predicted.

That evening, when Wu Mu logged into the game and planned to play for a while, he suddenly saw the game world’s channel spammed with messages.

Silence Is Golden: "The Alliance Master of Kill Wu please explain why you kicked me out randomly?"

The world channel’s speaker had to be purchased with money, but this person seemed to be spamming it like it was free.

The spamming undoubtedly piqued everyone’s curiosity, as Kill Wu, the server’s undisputed top alliance, had a master that would kick someone out for no reason?

Everyone joined in the drama, some urging the alliance master to come out and explain.

Then, the alliance master did show up.

Punching Wu: "Lol, you’re kind of funny. You’re a fan of Wu, and you join our anti-fan alliance, who else should I kick if not you?"

Silence Is Golden: "What do you mean?"

Punching Wu: "Still pretending? The background music in your home area is all from Wu’s album, aren’t you a fan?"

Silence Is Golden: "F*ck you, what music I set..."

As Wu Mu watched the two sides get more and more heated, even resorting to insulting each other’s families and challenging each other to an alliance battle, he was already laughing.

Here it comes, the system’s twist.

Looking ahead, he could guess the rest: surely, the kicked-out player must be a rich one, and offended by the act, he would start spending money like crazy.

And, as expected, over the next two days, the incident’s reach spread further and further, both sides desperately recruiting people for a battle, turning it into a grand opening fight.

Just three days of spending money and other subtle conversions, and Wu Mu’s system notified him that the Performance Card redemption was complete.

...

With the new endorsement settled, Wu Mu was contemplating something else.

"Time to move!"

Wu Mu looked at the small apartment he had lived in for several months, and spoke with some sentiment.

He had the idea to move ever since that fan tracked him to his door.

There was no security to speak of, which made it easy for his location to be exposed.

And every time he had something to do, he had to spend half a day in a car or on a plane.

Like when he had to record the accompaniments for "Misaligned Timespace Special Edition" and "As You Wish," there wasn’t a suitable recording studio locally, and he had to fly to Beijing.

It was starting to be inconvenient.

He wasn’t demanding when it came to living arrangements, but there was no need to endure hardship unnecessarily.

Originally he didn’t dare to buy a new house because he lacked money, but now that he had money, there was no need to keep living there.

"I really don’t need to rush the endorsement compensation. If I keep mingling in the circle like this, I estimate the money I’ll have to pay out of pocket will be negligible. The money at hand can be used at will."

Wu Mu had planned to withdraw from the circle and copywriting, which would have meant unavoidable endorsement compensation, but who expected to awaken the Entertainment System and get mixed back into the circle.

There was no need to worry about the endorsement compensation for the time being, and he had way too much money to spend.

Must spend it grandly!

Money earned but not spent is like money never earned at all.

As Wu Mu was thinking about where to buy a property, he sent the demo songs needed for the 67 Evening Gala to Lin Qingyue, "I just happen to have two songs that fit the theme, which one do you need?"

Lin Qingyue replied instantly, "That was quick?"

Wu Mu boasted righteously, "I’ve got talent and lots of inspiration, it comes easy to me!"

He wasn’t afraid of the system secret being revealed; no sane person would think of a system as the reason anyway.

People might have initially suspected him of buying or copying songs, but as he released more and more, this theory lost its footing.

Generally, people believed Wu Mu had been accumulating ability and, after a career low point, had an explosion of inspiration.

Although releasing new songs at such a fast pace with slightly superior quality was strange, there was always talk in the industry about people who could write a song in fifteen minutes.

Lin Qingyue must have gone to listen to the songs. After a long while without a reply, she finally messaged, "Both are masterpieces; Misaligned Timespace is openly emotional, As You Wish is a bit more reserved, quite tasteful."

She thought, "Either song would be fine, but I’m not the director, I’ll take them to ask, that way you’ll have a higher chance of success."

Wu Mu was banking on that too, "Sounds good, thanks boss."

Lin Qingyue: "Hey, don’t think I didn’t notice you deliberately spelling that wrong."

Wu Mu chuckled and switched topics, "Director Lin, I’m thinking of buying a place in Beijing, do you have any recommendations? Where do most people in the circle buy?"

Celebrities in the circle mostly settled in either Beijing or Shen City.

He thought it over and decided he’d probably be spending more time recording shows in Beijing, so buying there was more appropriate.

As a Beijing local, Lin Qingyue knew quite a few places, "Most of them live around Kaiyang District, I guess. There are lots of industry companies there, and it’s close to the airport. What’s your budget?"

Budget?

Wu Mu confidently replied, "Anywhere within two or three billion."

Lin Qingyue: "...you really know how to make money."

She remembered that when they first invited Wu Mu to the show, he had said he owed two or three billion, and now he was so flush he could pick any house within two or three billion.

She couldn’t help feeling strangely that Wu Mu was making more money now than before his career crash.

Thinking somewhat curiously, Lin Qingyue typed with a smile, "Since budget is no issue, I’ll recommend our Qingyun Mountain Villa. You can come and be my neighbor."
