I'll Add Points To All Things - Chapter 192

Chapter 192: The Girl Must Be Pretty

With a smile on her face, Deeny said, “It’s okay.”

Su Yang waved at her and she tacitly brought up a panel in front of him.

He looked at the panel showing Deeny’s TikTok account. ‘Urara SuDeeny: 1.03 million fans.’

‘Wow, look at the spike in these few days!’

However, the number of followers in TikTok could not be taken as a solid reference. No matter how many followers an account had, the newer videos were suggested one by one, and even though the number of followers had a certain level of effect, it was the content of the video that determined its popularity.

Su Yang scrolled down. The first video on the page was the trailer that Deeny had posted yesterday. The video had garnered 560K views.

‘Wow, that’s really a lot!’

Su Yang tapped on the video and saw more than 10K likes on the video. He habitually tapped on the comment section to check the viewers’ responses. The comments that he saw were within expectation as most of the viewers accepted this genre of video.

Some even praised the video for its creativity and imagination.

[Holy sh*t! What is that? Something just ran past behind you!]

[What the hell? Is there a monster in your house?]

[What’s that? Is that a tiny ent? There are leaves around it!]

Some were talking about the authenticity of the video.

[This is CGI, isn’t it?]

[The one above me is an idiot. What could it be if not CGI? Don’t you know ever since our country is established, monsters aren’t allowed to take form!]

Some however discovered the ‘truth’.

[You might have noticed that it’s impossible to Photoshop a video, so this must be real!]

[Deeny must be a monster. This is real! Your argument is invalid!]

[Please, God, give me a female monster that can suck humans.]

Su Yang giggled. ‘I think this guy is having a hard time taking a sh*t!’

Other than that, the rest of the comments praised Gru for his cuteness.

[Wow! The little ent is so cute! Where do I buy this?]

[Will there be a second episode? I want to see more of the ent!]

[How cute! The eyes are so googly!]

In short, the general response was great. At least, Su Yang viewed the video as a success. After all, it was just the first day and short videos on TikTok took time to gain popularity.

Nevertheless, he had to strike while the iron was hot! Su Yang said, “The second trailer will feature Pool. I’ll leave the script in your hands. Take some footage tonight and we will leave tomorrow morning to the milk tea shop for the rest of the shoot.

“If the second video is also a success, ‘Monster Family’ will slowly gain exposure, and Pool’s milk tea shop can also ride on the success..”

Deeny saluted and said happily, “Roger, Master!”

Su Yang patted her head. ‘My dear, you are really cute.’

He actually had plans for this. He planned to release two trailers to create a hype before officially releasing the ‘Monster Family’ short video series. He had decided to make ‘Monster Family’ his unique IP, and every little monster could accumulate their own fans. By then, he would be able to divert the fans into the new social media app.

‘Characters from popular movies like “Transformers” or the new animated movie “Nezha” can share their daily lives on the app. The thought about it is exciting enough, and it will surely attract a lot of attention.

‘By then, all three of my projects, Deeny’s “Monster Family” series, Pool’s milk tea shop, and my own “Find Me” will be fully operational.

‘The Gold Mission to change10,000 people’s lives, the Silver Mission to earn a million, and the Random Mission to help Deeny complete the series will be easily achievable by then!’

With that in mind, Su Yang asked, “What about the downloads and the user registrations from the past two days?”

When Deeny raised her hand, the panel in front of him turned into the statistics of both his apps.

“The part-time app has a stable number of around 550 active users daily and can reach 700 on weekends. It’s steadily growing. ‘Find Me’ is the fastest growing app. In the past two days, it has received 250K downloads, and the number of users that have stayed active until the second day is decent as well. Our active users tally to around 80K per day.”

Su Yang nodded. According to the data, the part-time app could earn him 100,000 yuan per week, meaning around 80,000 net profit excluding the costs. So, it would be around 300,000 yuan plus per month.

‘The part-time job app is a real cash cow! Everything is progressing smoothly! I have a feeling that I’m getting closer to that million! What will the Silver Point be?’

The next morning, Su Yang ‘honorably’ skipped class. Since there was less of a line in the morning, he brought Deeny there for a video shoot.

Su Yang’s idea for the second video was also simple:

Deeny would be thirsty after a whole day of walking and she would buy a cup of milk tea at the shop. Then, she would realize something strange about the shop because she saw monsters preparing her milk tea.

She would see an eight-handed hunk moving barrels of milk with and a bunch of moving beans pouring the milk tea into plastic cups. The only waiter in the shop would take the cup of milk tea from the beans and serve it to the customer.

At the end of the video, there would be a close-up of the shop’s signage and address.

The only problem was that Deeny could not come to the real world, so Su Yang would have to somehow make it work with CGI.

Fortunately, Su Yang was an ‘experienced’ video editor, so after he laid out all the green screens and got enough footage for reference, it was easily achievable.

Pool and Sanque gave their hearts and souls to the video because “Try Everything Milk Tea” was their blood and sweat, and they treated it as their own business. Therefore, after they learned that it was one way to promote the shop, they were passionate to help.

Aside from following every order from Su Yang, Sanque even squeezed out an ugly smile on its ugly face.

‘Yeah…This isn’t easy for either him or me…’

After shooting for a whole morning, Su Yang went back to class. Right after he stepped into the lecture hall, he found several of Deeny’s fans among his classmates. He saw them talking about Gru’s video.

“That little ent is so cute!”

“Yeah, it’s cute, right? As I said, Deeny is really some spirit or monster!”

“You must be high on novels. It’s CGI! Computer graphics! Get it?”

Su Yang took his book out while eavesdropping on the conversation.

Right when he was at the juicy bits, a melodious voice sounded in his ears, “Mr. President, which girl are you thinking about?”

Su Yang looked up. It was Chu Xia. He rolled his eyes at her and said, “I’m thinking about a girl with the family name Chu.”

The bold and outgoing Chu Xia suddenly blushed at his words, but she quickly answered, “There are tons of girls with the family name Chu out there, so who knows who are you talking about?”

Su Yang feigned agreement by nodding. “I guess you are right. The girl I’m thinking is Chu Qiu.”

Chu Xia grunted, “Hmph! She sure must be pretty!”
