Looking at the 350 yuan on the table, Xiao Chen rubbed his chin. This was his total income on the first day of business.
"F * ck, ever since Zhang Lingyan, there have been no more customers. Is this really a high-end CPD area? There's not even one who knows what's going on. Ptui." Xiao Chen muttered to himself. Anyone who had waited in a restaurant for four hours would be unhappy to see a customer.
However, it was impossible for Xiao Chen to give up. Zhang Lingyan's appearance today had increased Xiao Chen's expectations for the profession of chef. Thinking back to Zhang Lingyan's cold attitude when they first met and her invitation after dinner, if Xiao Chen didn't still have the whole forest in his heart, he would have agreed immediately.
However, the benefits of being a chef were fully demonstrated in this matter. If there was Zhang Lingyan, there would definitely be a second and third one in the future. Thinking of this, Xiao Chen couldn't help but smile wretchedly.
He looked up at the clock hanging on the wall. It was only nine o'clock at night. However, other than the street lamps, there were very few pedestrians outside. After all, this was the CPD area, not the commercial area. Other than the hard-working employees who were still working overtime, the people who had finished work had long returned to their dormitories or went out to have fun.
After locking the door from the inside, Xiao Chen turned off the lights in the restaurant on the first floor and climbed up to the second floor. He took off his shoes and lay down on the chair in the recording studio. After all, it was the only chair on the second floor.
Xiao Chen took out another 350 yuan from his pocket and began to calculate. He had to save 300 yuan for groceries. After all, he couldn't sell Egg-Fried Rice every day, could he?
As for the remaining 50 yuan, Xiao Chen planned to buy some clothes for himself. Fortunately, it was summer now, so T-shirts and shorts were cheap. Otherwise, if he changed into winter, down jackets and cotton coats would be extremely expensive. Xiao Chen, who couldn't afford these, might not even be able to go out.
"System, are we really not able to earn some money from somewhere? It was really difficult to have such a small amount of operating funds.”Although Xiao Chen had already planned out how he would spend the 350 yuan, he still had some complaints about the money. In a big city like Shanghai, 350 yuan was really not considered money. If business was as bad as it was tomorrow, he would not be able to keep the restaurant running. What would he do about the water, electricity, gas, property management fees, and so on?
"Host, please correct your attitude." the system replied seriously.
Xiao Chen was helpless." I know that too. But a single cent is too much for a hero. I'm really desperate to not serve my guests."”
"The system has a plan, but I don't know if I should say it.”
the system said mysteriously.
"Don't say it. I don't need to guess to know that you're suggesting that I join the entertainment industry or something.”Xiao Chen was well aware of the System's trickery.
"It has nothing to do with the entertainment industry." The system retorted without hesitation.
"Oh, then you can tell me.”Xiao Chen was surprised that the system didn't mention anything about the entertainment industry.
"In this world, copyright is very important. All original works will be supported by the law and people.”the system said slowly.
"You mean you want me to write online novels?”The first thing that came to Xiao Chen's mind when he heard about copyright awareness was online novels. After all, everyone in the online literature circle knew that pirated novels were extremely serious. Some people even joked that without pirated novels, all authors who wrote online novels would have made a fortune.
"No, no. We can't dabble in online novels. Not everyone can be as awesome as Brother Health and have a group of discerning readers.”The system was very self-aware of this.
"Indeed." Xiao Chen nodded in agreement.
" The system's suggestion is that the host can use the current resources to record a song that does not exist in this world and publish it on the Internet platform. You can rely on listening to it to attract an audience and then earn the audience's download fee. This income will need to be split 50 - 50 with the website, but it's extremely stable. Moreover, it won't expose the host's identity, so it won't be considered as entering the entertainment industry.”
Xiao Chen's first reaction was that there was a trap. However, after thinking about it carefully, if it was really as the system said, it was indeed tempting. After all, it was indeed a good thing for Xiao Chen to earn money from songs without exposing himself.
"Will I really not expose myself?" Xiao Chen asked.
"No, the system will cover up for the host. The account number used and the IP information of the uploaded song will not be traced.”the system promised.
"Why are you so persistent about this kind of thing?”Xiao Chen nodded, but he still couldn't understand why the system always wanted him to get involved in the entertainment industry.
The system pretended to be helpless and explained," The purpose of the system's existence is to assist the host in becoming the King of Entertainment. However, the host does not seem to be interested in this. After the system is bound to the host, it will not be able to change.”
"And then?" Xiao Chen asked.
"In order to satisfy the host's current needs, the system forcibly interfered with the mission function and the random mechanism, distorting the internal settings of the system. Now, a large number of popularity points are needed to fill in the loopholes, and the origin of the popularity points depends on the host attracting fans to collect.”
"In view of the fact that the host is very resistant to the entertainment industry, but needs to earn cash, the system needs the host to attract fans to obtain popularity points.”
The system explained, feeling wronged.
Xiao Chen nodded. Although he felt that the system was deliberately trying to make things worse, it sounded like it was true. After all, the shop and Master Craftsman cooking skills he had obtained were genuine. Perhaps the system had really paid a lot for it.
"Alright, I can come and buy songs, but I'm not very confident that I can write a very popular song myself. Moreover, it will take a lot of time. How long can that loophole of yours last?”Xiao Chen nodded, agreeing to the system's suggestion. However, writing songs wasn't something that could be done in a short time. He didn't know if the system would be able to handle it.
