Just started high school, and was assigned a self-discipline system.

Chapter 12: Encountering a Genius While Delivering Takeout, and Gaining a Small Bit of Popularity Th

Upon hearing this, Lin Ye was stunned for a moment, then felt a little ashamed, but also a little happy.

Well, her feelings were complicated; she hoped to receive positive feedback from the other party.

Seeing Lin Ye's body stiffen slightly, Yao Qingxue smiled and said, "What's wrong? Are you shy?"

"No, it's just a bit of a surprise. I didn't expect to be seen by someone I know."

"Haha, relax, bro, I won't laugh at you. I can see you're really serious about making this video and sticking to your plan. Keep it up! I believe you can definitely lose weight!"

Hearing Yao Qingxue's words, Lin Ye was actually quite surprised. He hadn't expected her to be so supportive of him.

"Okay, I'll definitely lose weight by then!"

"Yes, you can definitely do it!"

After saying that, Lin Ye took his drink and left the convenience store.

Meanwhile, He Xuan, who had just finished her morning exercise, was also stretching and watching short videos. Perhaps because of the people nearby, she also happened to come across Lin Ye's video.

As if possessed, she watched the entire video, and after watching it, she also looked through Lin Ye's previous videos. After watching them, she was stunned.

"I didn't expect this person to be so hardworking, and he's already lost so much weight. And looking at him now, he's definitely much more handsome than before."

Thinking about her attitude towards Lin Ye that day, she felt a little regretful, but she quickly calmed down and casually followed him. She wanted to see what Lin Ye would do next and whether he would give up halfway.

Meanwhile, after the morning rush hour, Lin Ye quickly entered a relatively quiet period and started watching short videos. However, besides entertainment and relaxation, he also wanted to learn something new. He wanted to see how other video bloggers made their short videos and why they had such high traffic.

Soon, a medium-length video titled "A Day in the Life of a Post-00s College Student" caught Lin Ye's attention. After clicking on it, a powerful melody played.

"Hey yo, Berry Buckbucks, Buckbucks!"

Upon hearing this music, Lin Ye pictured a deer with very tough flesh in his mind.

The title says it's a day of self-discipline, but when the person woke up it was already 1 pm. The first thing they did after opening their eyes was to stay in bed, then get up, wash, order takeout, and then start their self-disciplined routine in Teyvat.

It's almost time to go to class, and during class I'll be playing intense video games with my roommate.

Until 6 p.m., I went to the cafeteria to order a clean meal, yes, a hamburger and a Coke.

Upon seeing this, Lin Ye gasped.

"Wow, the abstract contestants are terrifyingly powerful."

Even though he hadn't finished watching the video, he was already vaguely understanding why it had millions of likes. It was indeed very entertaining, and the contrast between self-discipline and abstract concepts was striking.

Moreover, he could sense that even if he made a genuine self-discipline video with this background music, people would still watch it. The traffic might not be as high as his abstract videos, but it shouldn't be bad either.

After thinking it through, Lin Ye watched the video again and decided to start implementing the plan tomorrow.

However, while delivering food today, Lin Ye encountered another extraordinary person and suffered a crushing defeat.

"Hello, are you the delivery guy who just brought me food?"

A pleasant female voice came through the phone, but Lin Ye's mood was not optimistic, because these scoundrels usually didn't have anything good to say when they called.

"Um, it's me. What's wrong?"

"Oh, it's the fried chicken you sent over, it's not crispy anymore."

"?"

"Um, what does it have to do with me that the fried chicken isn't crispy anymore?"

"Fried chicken doesn't taste good if it's not crispy."

"Then go talk to the seller. I delivered it within the stipulated time. What does it have to do with me?"

"I've already contacted the merchant, and they told me to contact you."

"That's not my fault. If you think the fried chicken isn't crispy enough, you can go to the restaurant to eat it."

"If I'm going to eat at the restaurant, why would I order takeout? Here's what I'll do: give me my money back, and I won't complain."

"No, why should I refund your money? I didn't exceed the time limit; I even arrived ten minutes early."

"Didn't I already say that the fried chicken isn't crispy anymore and doesn't taste good? That's your problem."

Hearing this, Lin Ye was already a little exhausted.

"How could it be my problem? I delivered it on time."

...

After some pulling and tugging.

"Fine, so you don't want to refund my money, huh? Then I'm going to file a complaint against you."

After saying that, he hung up the phone. Lin Ye also recorded the voice message, planning to release it as a series of videos about the amazing customers he encountered while delivering food.

He already released one episode last time, and although it didn't get much traffic, he still plans to release a second episode.

After that, things went relatively smoothly, and I didn't encounter any more such extraordinary people.

Lin Ye wasn't too discouraged; he just treated it as a joke.

After returning home, he edited together the events and footage from that day and then posted both videos.

By the time he finished all this, it was already quite late. Surprisingly, Lin Ye didn't start reading immediately but instead watched some short videos. He had been quite tired lately and felt that he needed to relax a little occasionally.

He didn't start reading until 9:30. He chose this time because he had heard that reading before bed helps with sleep.

Although I don't know if it's true, he has always slept quite well.

The next day arrived quickly, and Lin Ye hurriedly checked the data of the two short videos he had posted yesterday. The number of views for the self-discipline video had decreased slightly, but not by much. Today, it only had about nine hundred likes and about eight thousand views.

The number of videos played the day before yesterday also increased again.

Another video, titled "About My Encounter with an Amazing Person While Delivering Food During Summer Vacation 2," unexpectedly went viral. After seeing the data in front of him, Lin Ye couldn't believe his eyes for a moment.

In one night, it garnered 400,000 views, 80,000 likes, over 7,000 comments, and gained more than 7,000 new followers.

Lin Ye was completely dumbfounded.

"Dude, is this for real? It seems everyone really enjoys gossip."

This video also brought Lin Ye some income; the backend showed that he earned 180.7 yuan yesterday.

Lin Ye was a little surprised when he saw the earnings. Short videos are not as profitable as they used to be. A thousand views would only earn about 15 cents. If the video is a little longer, the earnings would be slightly higher.
