I Have Money Too, I Want to Be Wilful (Seeking Collection and Investment)

Some people will probably say, Brother Xian, didn't you want to debut in the center position? You took down the number one trending video on Bilibili, how can you debut now?

My lords, I will definitely debut, but there's a method to debuting.

As everyone knows, before any "star" debuts, they at least need to craft a persona, then undergo meticulous packaging and extensive promotion by their team before meeting the public.

This is the most basic process for creating a star, excluding some purely grassroots individuals.

For these grassroots people, they don't have a company or a team, let alone financial support. They just become popular online by chance because of a video or a sentence.

In such cases, becoming famous is like their ancestors' graves emitting blue smoke; they wouldn't even consider their persona.

Often, from the moment these people become internet celebrities, their persona is fixed.

Even if they make money later and gain team and financial support, it's very difficult for them to change their persona. The moment they do anything slightly inconsistent with their persona, it will immediately collapse.

There are countless internet celebrities and stars who have suffered greatly due to persona collapse; I won't list examples here.

Honestly, if it weren't for the damned System forcing Li Xian to prove his identity, he wouldn't have bothered with these Kusotori videos. However, since the task must be completed, it has to be done perfectly.

A persona must be established, but it absolutely cannot be constrained by "Kusotori Bro" or "Kidney Bro." These two labels can only become one aspect of him, a rather entertaining topic.

If it weren't for the Money Spending Game, this might have been his persona. Perhaps he would have quietly waited for the Kusotori videos to ferment and then seized the opportunity to profit.

However, these are all hypotheticals.

The fact is, he truly has money. He's not afraid of competing with anyone in terms of money, nor is he afraid of competing with anyone in terms of his background.

Therefore, a trending Kusotori video is insignificant, whether it exists or not. Li Xian has his own methods to appear before the public and establish an unbreakable persona.

This Kusotori video about eating kidneys was just a trigger, a trigger that caught him a bit off guard, but it's within his control.

With the most popular video gone, follow-up videos will quickly emerge; they can't be stopped.

"Kidney Bro" and "Kusotori Bro" will ultimately become a trending topic associated with him, just like topics associated with many people, something to be talked about with relish, and harmless.

Such trending topics should definitely not be wasted; they can be utilized reasonably.

Industries like catering and barbecue restaurants can use this to create hype. Since he's the one who created it, why not leverage it?

Li Xian's idea is simple: he definitely wants to establish a badass persona that allows him to be unrestrained and speak whatever he wants.

However, he definitely won't be reckless or suicidal. After all, he only has an Invisible Void God-Tier Tycoon backing him, and sometimes he's not sure if it's reliable.

Systems are risky; proceed with caution.

Illusion and reality, reality and illusion.

With the persona of an Invisible Void God-Tier Tycoon established, let others be the early birds.

Let's quietly enter the village and secure a good position first.

The System has only paid out twice so far, and he still hasn't spent all the money he has.

The path of spending money is long and arduous; he still doesn't know how to spend it well.

Thinking of this, Li Xian went to the wine cabinet by the small bar counter, took out a bottle of Lafite worth three thousand yuan, and mixed it with the Sprite he hadn't finished drinking.

"Slurp slurp..."

He took a sip. The taste was a bit strange, a little sweet and a little astringent. The mouthfeel was only okay.

"Gulp gulp gulp..."

He downed the entire glass of sparkling red wine in one go. Li Xian let out a comfortable burp. No matter what he drank, it was more satisfying with bubbles.

After obtaining the Money Spending Game, the largest sum he spent was on a house, over twenty-five million yuan. Then came staying in hotels, where he's only spent three to four hundred thousand so far.

Besides that, buying clothes, phones, figurines, laptops, etc., he hasn't spent even a hundred thousand in scattered purchases. This spending speed is indeed a bit embarrassing.

However, in the past week, Li Xian has somewhat adapted to the rhythm of a rich person. Next, he can look into things like Bihu to learn how to consume.

Turning other people's displays of wealth into reality, that feeling doesn't seem bad either.

Perhaps some will say that spending money on women is faster... Watch my mouth, G-U-E-N...

Carrying the sparkling red wine, he went to the study, opened his laptop, and took out his phone to log into VX.

He first found Du Ziteng's WeChat and casually sent him a transfer red packet. Those who help him with his affairs shouldn't be shortchanged.

Du Ziteng replied with a {stunned} emoji and asked, "Brother Xian, what does this mean?"

"Don't overthink it, just accept it."

"Brother, you're not planning to cut me loose, are you?"

"How could I? I still have something for you to do. Take the money first."

"Oh~ Okay..." Du Ziteng accepted the transfer and immediately sent back a few {terrified} emojis.

"Brother Xian, this, this... ten thousand yuan?"

"Uh-huh..."

"No, Brother. You gave me two thousand yuan yesterday, and I haven't even used it all yet. Just tell me what you need, no need to spend so much money."

"Take it for now. Keep an eye out for that Hamster guy trying to get Squirrel. That kid will definitely come looking for you once he realizes what's going on."

"Brother, you want to mess with him again? Heh heh, I've got several amazing 'meat chicken' links, guaranteed to make him wish he were dead!"

Li Xian twitched the corner of his mouth. Are all computer geeks this obnoxious?

Alright, this one's on our side.

Poor Hamster, he's really pathetic. He didn't even see through such a simple trap. Who gives money for advertising and promotion before signing a contract?

There's no such thing as getting paid first, he must be desperate for money.

Even if you go back ten thousand steps, any Uploader who can get an advertising contract nowadays is at least a big Uploader with a team. A small Uploader like Hamster, who's just starting out, wouldn't have a chance. He's too naive and doesn't understand the market.

Li Xian followed the mission requirements to teach him a small lesson; he didn't intend to crush him completely.

Brother Xian doesn't have that much malice, but if the other party snaps out of it and starts acting all defiant, don't blame him for not being merciful.

"No need to mess with him anymore. Just keep a close eye on him. Since you're so good at talking nonsense, just keep fooling him."

"Understood, Brother Xian."

He exited the chat and scrolled through his WeChat. There were quite a few messages, but he was too lazy to deal with them for now.

There were several strangers in his contacts who had added him as a friend. He glanced at them briefly; he didn't recognize many of them. One of them was Peng Mengke, whom he had met not too long ago. After thinking about it, he added her as a friend.

"Li Xian, it's really not easy to add you. It's been almost two days." As soon as they were connected, she immediately sent a message.

Two days? You added me on the day I took a shower?

Li Xian recalled and sent her a message: "Is there something you need, old classmate?"

"Nothing, can't I add you?"

Oh, that tone.

Just as Li Xian was about to reply, We don't seem that close, he saw several more messages from her.

"Why aren't you talking in the class group chat?"

"Everyone's discussing the reunion recently."

"It's been two years since we graduated, and this is only our second reunion."

"You didn't seem to come last time. You must come this time."

University classmate reunion. There was a reunion every six months after graduation, but Li Xian had forgotten about it due to being busy. Now there was another reunion, but he didn't have the spare time to attend.

"I've muted the class group chat, so I won't be going to the reunion," Li Xian replied.

Seeing his message, she sent a voice message: "Don't be like that. It's rare for everyone to get together. It would be a shame if you didn't come."

"Heh, there's nothing wrong with that. It's not like they're missing just me."

"..."

"That's all then. I hope you have a good time."

With that, Li Xian exited the chat and then found Zhang Cheng's WeChat, directly sending him a video call.

When the call connected, Zhang Cheng's long face appeared on the screen.

"Brother Xian, is it about to start?"

"Absolutely. We're not waiting anymore. Is everything ready?"

"You can rest assured about my work... The trolls, big Vs, and soft articles are all ready. Just tell me what time you want to hit the trending searches."
