Chapter 87: Your Mother’s Calling You Home for Dinner

After chatting with Song Qian for a bit, he hung up.

Ye Lingchen naturally knew Song Qian’s intentions. A streaming platform needed to attract traffic.

If these Ys were the same, then they could engineer a ploy and attract more people to the live streams and watch Y God.

It was a shame that Ye Lingchen was naturally not going to admit that they were one and the same.

Opening Tik Tok, the first post on his feed after refreshing was from Chen Xiaoyan.

She wore a white dress of antiquated design and held a fan in her hand. Her voice was mellow and heavenly, and she sang smoothly,

Can I follow behind you,

Like a shadow following light, we would travel,

I can wait at this street,

And I don’t care if you’d pass me by,

Every time you lift your head,

Even tears feel free.

Being in love is like sunlight shining down,

You have it and you lose it…

There were already 3 million likes on it and over 30,000 comments.

[It’s so good, I keep playing it on repeat]

[I can’t get enough of it, Chen Xiaoyan I love you!]

[Ah ah ah, she’s all over Tik Tok, she’s gone viral! Do you know you’re so hot?!]

…

He scrolled down.

The next thread was Chen Xiaoyan as usual, but the angle was different, it must have been shot by a pedestrian.

Continuing to scroll, it was all the same…

Scrolling once more, it finally wasn’t her, but the background music was “Chaser of the Light”.

He scrolled again, and it Chen Xiaoyan again.

However, this time she wasn’t singing, it was a video essay.

“The name of this song is “Chaser of the Light”. When I was trapped in darkness it was the light I saw. I want to thank Y, he wrote this song for me and made me who I am now. I also want to thank him for the words he wrote for me.”

She then pulled out a piece of paper, and written on it were the words, “Don’t despair. Life is like a heartbeat monitor, if it’s flat, that just means… you’re dead.”

She continued to say, “Y, no matter where you are, I will be like in the song, following you from behind, like a shadow following the light, we could travel.”

This likes on this Tik Tok video far exceeded all those before, it had hit 5 million likes, and there were over 80,000 comments. It had exploded!

[Y!? It’s Y again?!]

[Don’t despair. Life is like a heartbeat monitor, if it’s flat, that just means… you’re dead. This sentence is humorous and reasonable. This Y is so talented it’s terrifying!]

[Terrifying, it’s too terrifying! I’m starting to suspect this world isn’t the world that I’m from.]

[Chen Xiaoyan I hope you finally find a light that is your own…]

[This Y is too impressive, Chen Xiaoyan our goddess is completely obsessed!]

[Let’s all find Y for our goddess Chen Xiaoyan!]

…

And this was only Tik Tok!

The trending searches on Weibo put Chen Xiaoyan and Y on the first and second positions.

At the same time, a wave of comments started, who was the person behind the different Ys?

Ye Lingchen’s Weibo was blowing up.

[Movie Y, come out now! Do you know who are the other Ys?]

[I will summarize for everyone, right now we have, Movie Y, Livestream Y, Superman Y, Songwriter Y, that’s 4 Ys!]

[All of the Ys are extremely impressive, the image of the peak of the industry?]

[I can’t take it anymore, I need to change my name, it has to have a Y in it!]

…

Apart from this, Chen Xiaoyan’s Weibo also tagged Ye Lingchen and asked him about Y. To avoid a misunderstanding, Ye Lingchen immediately chose not to pay her any heed.

He did not think that he would inadvertently become popular again. Truly… life was full of surprises!

Booting up the system, a popularity score that had diminished to over 3000 had exploded to 65873.

With a bit more hard work, he could ascend another category of knowledge. The thought of that made him excited.

Perhaps he should put in some effort, and push up his popularity?

Ye Lingchen put his thoughts to action, and since he had no class, he immediately went to an internet cate.

Since everybody had already started calling out Y, he may as well ease their efforts.

He first changed his Weibo account name to “Movie Y”.

After that, he created 2 other accounts for Livestream Y and Songwriter Y.

In order to maintain the air of mystery around the persona, Ye Lingchen did not create an account for Superman Y.

When these Weibo accounts surfaced, it once again drew a wave of attention.

There were countless comments, and his fan count began to rise exponentially.

[D*mn! They’re finally starting to sort themselves? 666…]

[I seriously doubt that there will be other Ys in the future,]

[This cannot possibly be a group? They seem like they’ve agreed, and none of them will reveal their faces.]

…

After creating the accounts, Ye Lingchen did not do anything. Instead, he watched as his popularity score continued to rise.

In half a day, it had grown from 65873 to 87952.

It was just short of 100,000, that was too bad.

However, almost at the same time, Ye Lingchen’s Weibo beeped.

It was Shi Lei, whom Ye Lingchen had insulted previously. He had gone under the radar for a few days, but had resurfaced again!

He had not only tagged Ye Lingchen, but he also tagged the other 2 Ys!

At that time, just as the 3 Weibo’s were at their most popular, Shi Lei had jumped on the bandwagon, and shamelessly tried to gain some popularity.

He posted a video of an action scene, and it looked like part of his new movie.

Within, the two participants went back and forth, their movements smooth, and occasionally there were a few scenes of them wall-running. The flurry of blades looked real and ferocious.

[@Livesteam Y: Your “Candle Blowing Ghost” was very well said, why don’t you come and be a writer for my new movie.]

[@Songwriter Y: “Chaser of the Light” is really good, why don’t you write a song for my new movie.]

[@Movie Y: Take a good look at what a big-screen action movie is, you haven’t gotten in yet!]

His actions gave him a lot of attention, the moment the video was released it immediately broke 100,000 views. The comments below were all in favor, and countless people all commented that they had to go to the cinema and watch the movie.

Ye Lingchen smirked slightly. This fellow came out at the right time, just as he was trying to figure out how to attract more popularity.

He was not rushed, and he replied one at a time.

[Livestream Y: Shi Lei, your mother’s calling you home for dinner!]

[Songwriter Y: Shi Lei, please get out of my sight with as little trouble as possible.]

[Movie Y: Please could you roll into a ball, and after that, very slowly roll away.]

Three replies had stunned those on Weibo who were not in the know.

However very quickly, the passionate masses found out the insinuations within. D*mn, aren’t these 3 sentences saying the same thing? Get lost!

[666666, regardless of which Y it is, they certainly all have swagger.]

[Hahaha, a talent, what a talent. I didn’t think there would be so many ways to tell somebody to get lost.]

[It’s no wonder he’s Y, just any word would make people think deeply. The meaning is deep.]

[I declare, the trending statements on the internet have all been taken by Y.]

…

Of these 3 statements, the first one was the most euphemistic, and the easiest to use as a rallying cry.

A lot of overly enthusiastic netizens flocked to Shi Lei’s Weibo to comment, [Shi Lei, your mother’s calling you home for dinner!]
