Shen Nian was left speechless. Wasn't reaching out to scratch someone's chin exactly how you'd tease a dog?
All that was missing was the clicking of the tongue.
So off-putting.
But since Chunbao liked it, Shen Nian let Chunbao have her way.
"It tickles..." Shen Nian turned his face slightly, letting her scratch for a good while before feigning impatience.
"Hehe, is the game fun?"
"It's fun."
"I can tell."
It kept Shen Nian from coming to find her for two whole hours, how could it not be fun?
Xia Yanchun didn't continue to bother him. She ran to the living room to get some water, pouring a cup for Shen Nian as well.
Xia Yanchun liked to feed it right to Shen Nian's lips.
As the cool water flowed down his throat, Shen Nian felt exceptionally refreshed and smiled faintly, "Chunbao, I love it."
"I can't help it, who asked your Sister Chun to be so gentle."
Xia Yanchun stretched her shoulders and leaned against the back of his chair to watch Shen Nian play the game.
However, watching this kind of 3D game made her very dizzy. After watching for only a short while, she felt disoriented and couldn't stand it.
"I think I get 3D motion sickness."
"That's too bad, you're destined to miss out on most games."
"It's fine, I don't really play games anyway." Xia Yanchun didn't mind at all. For her, apart from playing Fight the Landlord, no game could beat watching TV dramas and variety shows. Rather than playing those violent games, she would rather find a physical novel and lie down comfortably to read.
The takeout arrived quickly. The Luosifen was smelly, filling the room with the scent of sour bamboo shoots.
During mealtime, Shen Nian started watching videos.
Bringing a chair in from the living room, Xia Yanchun sat next to Shen Nian, slurping her noodles while watching.
Shen Nian would bump against Xia Yanchun from time to time. He didn't mean anything by it; he was just being a nuisance.
The computer was on until the evening. Shen Nian had played games for an entire day.
He wasn't great at it at first, but the more he played, the more excited he got. He had downloaded other games as well. It seemed the whole summer vacation wouldn't be as boring as the first few days after the holidays started.
Around nine o'clock, Shen Nian clicked on that video once again.
After brewing for the whole day, the video's likes had reached 600,000, with over 80,000 comments. The top comments all had over 100,000 likes, and even comments posted just a dozen minutes ago had hundreds of likes.
The platform's trending list was filled with college entrance examination interview videos, and Shen Nian could swipe across himself every now and then.
Some content creators with a fan base even made dedicated videos to join the fun, sharply criticizing this and analyzing that. Some analyzed him as an attention-seeker, while others called him arrogant. Although a few said he might be a true top student, their voices were simply too quiet.
Those uploaders didn't dare to speak too absolutely. Their final takeaway, summarized, was to let the bullets fly for a while.
One uploader with over 400,000 followers even used him as the thumbnail, though to avoid trouble, they put a black censor bar over his eyes.
Damn it, it would have been better not to censor it.
The video was published an hour ago, and the views had already exceeded 100,000. The platform showed over 10,000 people watching simultaneously.
He thought it was just a video piggybacking on the trend, but halfway through, the uploader started seriously analyzing current popular college majors. He was literally just using him for traffic.
Actually monetizing my traffic? I'm shaking with anger, I'm reporting you.
Reporting was just a joke, of course. Shen Nian just left a comment under the video.
[Kids, it's me (facepalm laugh)]
At this very moment, it was time to cash in on a little bit of the traffic.
Shen Nian was full of confidence, already imagining the scene of his notifications exploding.
An hour passed, and Shen Nian fell into deep thought looking at the sparse double-digit likes.
This, this, this isn't right.
Why could a comment like "Like this and score fifty points higher in next year's college entrance exam" get hundreds of likes and hundreds of "claim claim claim" replies in an hour, while he, the person involved, got nothing?
The guy laughed out of anger.
So Shen Nian posted three more comments, and without exception, they all sank like stones in the ocean.
Shen Nian just died on the spot.
"Wow, Shen Nian, I scrolled past you!" Shen Yue saw Shen Nian's video and slapped him excitedly.
"Oh."
"What's wrong? You seem to have gone viral."
"Indeed, I've practically turned to ashes."
"?"
Shen Nian didn't say a word. He went to the bathroom, and when he came out, he had regained his previous motivation.
"Lao Jie, help me take a picture."
"What picture?"
"Just take a casual one, as long as it gets my face."
"Let me see... come sit here... right, rest your chin on your hand, right, right..."
Taking pictures required skill. It was rare for her little brother to want a picture taken, so she had to make him look good.
After a flurry of action, Shen Yue took several photos of Shen Nian from different angles.
"What do you need these photos for?"
"To post online and prove I'm Shen Nian. You wouldn't understand even if I told you."
"Is that how you talk to your sister, you brat?"
"Stop mumbling, send me the photos, I'm going back to my room first."
"Honestly..." Shen Yue muttered, reluctantly sending all the photos to Shen Nian.
Back in his room, Shen Nian was still trying to figure out how to claim his identity.
He put the newly taken photo on his profile page, and then sent a private message to the uploader with 500,000 followers.
[Hello uploader, I'm the person from the footage at the beginning of your video. Could you pin my comment?]
Generally speaking, these video creators would pin comments when approached by the actual person involved.
This one was no exception.
After about ten minutes, the other party replied to Shen Nian with three messages in a row.
[(Surprised)]
[Pinned.]
[I didn't expect it to really be you. I apologize here. The parts about you in the video were clipped from other bloggers' videos. If this bothers you, please contact me, and I can swap the video source.]
Shen Nian replied with an OK gesture and left it at that.
His comment was indeed pinned, and the number of likes began to increase significantly. The replies, private messages in the background, and comments under his posts were all heating up.
The video, which was already trending, fully exposed his comment to the public eye.
Shen Nian took the opportunity to complete his profile.
Uploader: Invincible Master Shen
Bio: 2026 College Entrance Examinee, attended Cinan No. 2 Middle School, scored 550 in the second semester of sophomore year, top scorer in the senior year unified exam.
In less than half an hour, the background comments and private messages had reached 99+.
[Is it really you? Doesn't look like it. I suggest the streamer privately send me two artistic photos to check.]
[If you are the real person, I'll eat two pounds of shit. You're just acting cool.]
[To the comment section, Cinan No. 2 Middle School is the top high school in the province. It's not like there aren't people guaranteed to score 140 in Chinese and Math.]
[You're actually from Cinan No. 2 Middle School? That's really impressive, I worship you.]
There were so many, he couldn't even read them all.
As for those private messages, Shen Nian didn't even look at them.
He just silently posted a live stream reservation for June 25th.
Titled: June 25th College Entrance Exam Results Release, Live Score Checking.
] This is a dark fantasy-themed dating simulation game. The main gameplay involves containing various monster girls and investigating the truth of a world shrouded in mist alongside your companions. However, due to his love for the dark and bizarre atmosphere, Luo Wei ended up turning a dating game into a detective mystery game. Women? Women only slow down his quickdraw! To Luo Wei, the female leads in the game are more like tools to perfectly clear levels and squeeze out rewards. For Luo Wei, flirting with every girl he meets and then discarding them is standard procedure. Worried about characters losing affection points? No need. With his maxed-out charm stat, Luo Wei is practically a "human incubus." A little psychological manipulation and those points come right back. It's a bit scummy, but the paper cutout heroines in the game won't actually come at him with real cleavers. However... Luo Wei has transmigrated. He's accidentally entered the second playthrough of this game. His past actions have caused all the girls to transform into terrifying yanderes. Due to the game's setting, most of the heroines he once contained are "troubled girls." Obsessive, twisted, mentally unstable, all aggressive yanderes... The type who will kill you if they can't have you... Luo Wei wants to cry but has no tears left. "I really just want to survive..." In short, this is a story of battling wits and engaging in a love-hate relationship with yanderes.
to panic—he has a system. As long as an investment target dies, he can claim a reward. And since he is immortal, the one thing he has plenty of is time. ... Countless years later. “Immortal Emperor of Longevity? I invested in him.” “Supreme Celestial Venerable? I invested in him.” “Undying Empress? I invested in her.” “...” “Heh.

"Wuwu~ Big Brother is so good to me! I’ll become a scientist to repay you!" When the genius girl got bullied by a shady professor? Su Bai casually dropped a billion-dollar investment, forcing the university to grovel and beg for her return. A company’s funding chain collapsing? Su Bai smirked—cash was the one thing he’d never run out of. Years later, when people traced the rise of the AI prodigy beauty, who was the man behind her success?

ut it can buy an entire year of absolutely perfect training results! Su Yu stared at his empty wallet and decisively opened up various online loan platforms. “Borrow a thousand bucks!

A basic punching technique so common it was everywhere instantly maxed out, revealing the ultimate assassination technique of Five Elements Unity—Inner Force!
