Lin Feng, who had just finished evening self-study, was dragging his tired body home.
"I want to escape, but I can't. My life is so Bored!" Lin Feng sang the song he had modified, his voice Rend and torn, carrying an indescribable sense of sorrow.
These days are simply unbearable.
I have to get up at five in the morning and, under the supervision of my parents, memorize English for an hour.
Didn't they promise to remove English from the curriculum? It's been so many years, why hasn't it been successfully removed yet?
We eat breakfast at 6:00 AM and go to school for morning self-study from 6:30 AM to 7:30 AM.
There will be a half-hour break, and the first class will begin at eight o'clock.
Such days repeat themselves, day after day.
For Lin Feng, a poor student, every day felt like a waste of time, air, Fei Yang, and water...
"Ugh, what is that thing? Oh my god!"
Just then, a Light Ball Light Ball fell from the sky, moving at great speed and striking Lin Feng's brain with perfect accuracy.
"Ding! The Celebrity Spending Rebate System is binding to the host. Binding successful!"
Upon hearing the electronic voice, Lin Feng jumped in alarm.
"Um, the system?" Lin Feng asked cautiously.
Don't let his status as a high school senior fool you; he's a seasoned bookworm with over two thousand hours of online novel reading experience.
I'm quite familiar with systems, Yinyin even a little excited about them.
"Ding, hello host, I am the assistant spirit of the Celebrity Spending Rebate System!"
"Holy crap, is it really a system?" Lin Feng was so excited he almost jumped up.
What system are you?
"Ding, host, this system is called the Celebrity Spending Rebate System. As long as you spend money on celebrities, you can get multiplied rebates, up to ten thousand times the original amount."
"You have to spend money on celebrities to get rebates? What kind of ridiculous system is that? I don't follow celebrities at all!"
The system cannot answer this question.
The system is set up this way; if you ask why, the system will consider it nonsense.
"Are internet celebrities considered stars?" Lin Feng asked.
"Ding, it doesn't count!"
"Why aren't internet celebrities considered stars? There are tons of stars who become internet celebrities and vice versa these days. Is your rule really that rigid?"
"Ding, this is a system setting. Please do not ask meaningless questions like 'why'."
Surprisingly, Lin Feng didn't refute it, but instead agreed, saying, "That makes sense. Anyway, it's a rule of the system. Ask a hundred thousand whys, and 1 plus 1 won't equal 3!"
But how should we spend money on celebrities?
"So, if a celebrity does a live stream and I tip them, wouldn't that be considered spending money on the celebrity?"
"Ding, it's settled!"
"So, if I buy celebrity merchandise or products endorsed by celebrities, does that count as spending money on the celebrities?"
"Ding, it's settled!"
"You even count this? Is there something seriously wrong with your system? What's so great about celebrities? I'm asking you, what's so great about celebrities?"
"Those celebrities spend a few thousand dollars a day and still think it's not enough, earning tens or hundreds of millions a year. Why would I need to spend money on them?"
"I feel that spending even a penny on them is a waste."
"Ding, reminding the host that spending money on celebrities will trigger Merit Karma."
"Huh? Merit Karma? What does that mean?" Lin Feng's mind was a bit confused.
"Ding, please explore on your own."
Lin Feng's eyes darted around. "Heh, Merit Karma? Don't think I can't guess what you mean just because you don't explain."
I've read thousands of online novels, and that's how I got 300 degrees of myopia.
"Can I interpret this as meaning that if I spend money on a celebrity, that celebrity's luck will change? They'll either have bad luck or good luck?"
The system isn't responding, but that's okay. We'll find out if it's true or not by trying it out.
I checked my phone's Bubble Chat and saw the amount was 6.30 yuan.
He checked his pockets and found he didn't have a single Jindu.
However, it doesn't matter. He may be broke now, but he knows where to find money.
Lin Feng rushed out of his bedroom and went into the bathroom.
There is a vacuum cleaner behind the bathroom door.
Lin Feng quickly unscrewed the plastic cap at the end of the vacuum cleaner handle, tapped it, and a roll of bright red banknotes fell out.
After unfolding it, I counted it; it was exactly Wu Bai, no more, no less.
"Hehe, Dad, sorry to disappoint you, I'm really short on start-up capital right now. I'll make it up to you after I use my magic touch to get rich."
This was Lin Feng's father's secret stash of money, which Lin Feng discovered by accident.
My parents took advantage of the weekend to go to their hometown in the countryside to attend a wedding banquet, which was supposedly the second son of my third uncle's great-uncle.
Lin Feng didn't know how this relationship was defined, but he felt it was at least eight or nine times longer.
However, none of that mattered to Lin Feng; what mattered was testing his cheat code.
After stepping out of the room, Lin Feng suddenly froze on the spot, three question marks popping into his mind.
How do we test it? We need to choose a target first!
He never idolizes any celebrities, but not idolizing any celebrities doesn't mean he doesn't have celebrities he likes or dislikes.
Moreover, Lin Feng always felt that he had missed some steps.
Looking at his phone, Lin Feng suddenly realized he had forgotten to record a video.
To be precise, I forgot to post a video on the Slow Foot Platform today.
Since the Karmic Fire, people have made shooting videos and posting jokes a part of their daily lives.
Whenever there's nothing to do, I'll film a short video and post it to my account, then trick a few relatives and friends into liking it, feeling quite pleased with myself.
Not to mention Ling Yi and his group of students, even the elderly people in the countryside are no exception.
This shows just how popular "Doudou " and " Slow Foot " are right now.
Lin Feng also takes photos and posts them every day, at least one a day.
Anyway, I'm not aiming for it to become popular; I'm just taking pictures for fun, like the older generation keeping a diary. If it becomes popular, then we'll see.
Well, as for whether it would become popular or not, Lin Feng was initially somewhat hopeful.
But in the past two years, despite posting over 700 videos, this account has only accumulated 125 followers.
Lin Feng's last hope was completely dashed.
However, over the past two years, shooting and posting videos has become a habit for him.
Whether it becomes popular or not, it's quite fun to make it for fun.
Sometimes when I'm bored, I lie in bed and watch videos I posted in the past, which is quite fun.
Two years ago, Lin Feng was only a freshman in high school. Now, he's a senior in high school and will be taking the college entrance exam next year.
Huh? What does the college entrance exam have to do with him? He's a terrible student; he's never even considered the college entrance exam.
Lin Feng's parents had long since given up on his academic achievements.
They had already arranged a way out for Lin Feng long ago.
After graduating from high school, Lin Feng was sent to his uncle's place in South Chuan City to live with him.
Ahem, let's get back to the main topic.
At the doorway, Lin Feng raised his phone and shoved the front-facing camera directly at the side of his face.
My name is Lin Feng, Lin as in forest and Feng as in strong wind.
This is the opening line of Lin Feng's videos; every video uses this opening line.
"I've suddenly become very curious about this amazing group of fans. I just don't understand why such a strange race as fans exists."
"Of course, I didn't mean any discrimination, I was just curious."
"I can't remember my parents' birthdays, but I do remember celebrities' birthdays. I've never thought to greet my own family members during holidays, but I never forget to give gifts to celebrities."
"So, I also want to be a fan and follow a celebrity, but I don't know which celebrity to follow right now. If any of you know, please give me a recommendation, leave a comment, and give me a like."
Lin Feng sent the video immediately after recording it.
As for audio editing, beauty filters, background noise, and the like, there's none of that. He doesn't understand it, and even if he did, he'd be too lazy to do it.
But to Lin Feng's surprise, someone replied to his video not long after it was posted.
The first person to reply to his message was an account called " The God of Cookery of Food".
Ling Yi curled his lip; the one called the God of the God of Cookery was his father.
As for why he's called the God of Cookery, Lin Feng really doesn't understand. Anyway, Lin Feng has never seen his father cook. Yes, not even once.
The God of Cookery @Lin Feng Kid: Son, let's not mess around. Being a fan is a high-risk profession; you can't handle it.
Lin Feng scratched his head. "Why is being a fan considered a high-risk profession? What kind of logic is that?"
Oh well, whatever, he's not really a fan anyway.
I put my phone in my pocket, left the residential area, and turned the corner to go to the ATM of the bank across the street.
He wanted to deposit the Wu Bai yuan into his bank card.
Damn it, it's just spending money, why would he go out and do anything?
These days, if you have money, what can't you do online?
Back home, Lin Feng turned on his phone, wanting to search for trending information about celebrities.
The Ancient Country's Good Voice a thunderstorm?
When did this happen? Oh, it just trended on social media today?
To be honest, Ancient Country's Good Voice been running for so many years, and it's become more and more fake and deceptive every year.
Even ordinary people know the truth behind this lousy program.
It should have cooled down a long time ago.
What does a goose call again? "Yes!"
Lin Feng browsed through all the relevant trending information.
The other mentors have all tried to keep a low profile because of the scandal involving Haosen, but that La Zhiying is making quite a fuss, even planning to hold a concert at this critical juncture?
Coincidentally, the concert venue was in Dafeng City.
"System, for our first collaboration, let's put the rebates aside for now. I just want to see how your so-called 'triggering Merit 'Karma."
Moreover, the concert tickets cost exactly Wu Bai.
"Damn, that's expensive!" Lin Feng muttered.
After Lin Feng placed the order, he received an e-ticket on his phone, which allowed him to enter the concert venue.
"The concert tickets are selling really well! More than 150 have already been sold?"
"Ding! The host has spent 500 yuan to purchase tickets to a celebrity concert. The purchase is valid, earning a 3-star purchase rating and triggering a 30x rebate."
The next moment, Ling Yi's phone received a text message notification that the money had been deposited into his account.
No more, no less, exactly 15,000.
"System, is the source of this money legitimate?" Lin Feng asked with some concern.
"Ding, all of the host's sources of income have been legalized. Please do not worry."
"But if all this money from rebates is spent, won't it cause inflation? It's only 15,000 now, but what if it becomes 1.5 trillion later?"
"Ding, host, please note that legitimization naturally leads to rationalization. Please trust the capabilities of this system."
Is that so?
"But how can you justify this? Where's the justification in this? If someone asks me, I should at least be able to give a reasonable explanation, right?"
"Ding, wait!"
Lin Feng: "..."
